i've run into a few issues now where ive built something only to find it ended up outside the "outpost" perimeter. There needs to be a way to view this perimeter, and if there isnt already one it would be nice to have a way to expand it.

Maybe an outpost area thing in the new build mode.

In addition, when you remove the building that ended up in "the next outpost over" the outpost is actually still there so you end up getting it messing up your map and popping up the outpost settings when you dont want it to.

Another problem with the outpost system, i just reloaded the game and every one of my buildings got its own "outpost"

This is a problem, obviously. Can upload the save on request,

Uploading the save because im now up to around 50 separate outposts in the same spot

Hey Matt, as much as love seeing your avatar (not sarcasm) try not to drive the edit button out of a job, it needs to make a living too you know. (somewhat sarcasm)

First three posts could probably have been edited together because of how close after eachother they were, but in a tester forum like this its usually best to just update the thread so the dev can be aware of the fact that something's changed. If you dont make a new post and just edit maybe someone's already looked at it and it wont be checked again.

Last post for example was a tenfold increase in the amount of outposts in the same spot, from one for every building to ten for every building, fairly significant. I checked by renaming them all and counting them. I think it was because even every one of my wall segments was getting its own outpost.

So yeah it can be annoying to read especially in discussion forums but in this kind of setting updating the thread can be more important. Thats my reasoning anyway, feel free to reason to me otherwise.

You are right. If you use EDIT, I will miss things.
