You are too close to other stations to activate the projector

[Gudimon]

Hello everyone, I have a little problem.
After I built the third station and tore it down. Because it also after the third try
errors happened. e.g. I couldn't delete any more modules or the hitbox didn't fit to the
Object fit.
I wanted to start now the 4th station. Now I get this message
"You are too close to other stations to activate the projector".

No stations are displayed in my inventory. Nor are transponder signals from me
displayed. (range is set to 500)

I thought I can only set up three stations at a time and not that I only have three attempts.

I hope there is a solution to my problem.

If you are inside safezone, there are a lot of stations around and you may have one nearby that is not visible to the public.
You might also be too close to your old station, I don't know if those still count but they do stay in world even when abandoned.

People never build on their stations, which makes it so much harder to see other stations and find a location. Use the YOLO script to find an area. A text pannel will display CanBuild: Yes or CanBuild: No, i dont have the code on hand, if someone does add it in a reply!

We're working on visualizations for the areas as well.

Nice! I apreciate that, I purposefully built a large hanar on my station to make it easy for others to see. People often get stuck in stations and have to pay to tow. I just want to be able to build my crafting area, I made a cute little desk design but i cant use it cause anything i placed got deleted.

Your ship's Transponder has a field that indicates if a new station can be placed: https://wiki.starbasegame.com/index.php/Ship_transponder
You could pick that up with a lighted button on a control surface, or yolol, etc.

Problem with using yolo is the transponder fields that are suposed to have that data are bugged. The only field that ever changes on mine is the on/off field which is changed by a button to turn it on/off. It always shows 0 for safe zone even sitting at a station. It always shows 0 for all the other fields, ship, name, owner, etc.. I did try replacing it with no effect. Others have also reported that trying to read that field to see if it's a buildable zone doesn't work. It's broken.
