after that you have 2 options to progress. If you're playing on the 'survival' or higher difficulties, the functionality is the same as described earlier. to upgrade your ship you need to get 2 crewmembers (i dont know if its a bug or not but if you dismiss a crewmember you got and get a new one itll still work) and then pengiun pete will tell he can upgrade your ship for 2 upgrade modules. This means even on Outpost, where on older versions you were obligated to use the teleporters to get back to your ship. If you are playing on the 'casual' difficulty, you can use the button to beam up to your ship anytime, except when you are in dungeons.

Lastly, while you are onboard your ship, the same button will change to allow you to teleport back down to the surface at any time, without having to actually walk over to the teleporter.

Destroy your ship, let the blocks fall out of sight. If you’re not using Aurora’s, you’ll probably be fine but it will take so much longer. Press F+W to no-clip if you’re using Aurora’s, and go outside of your ship. This means that, for example, in the following image, I am able to teleport:Įven though I'm underground, with ceilings and background everywhere, because I'm not too far down, and because I've punched out the one square of background where my head is, teleporting is possible. Pick up your ship spawn teleporter, fuel hatch, captain’s chair, and SAIL terminal. There is no background wall on the square your head is occupying.All you need to have teleporting available is that:

Note that the definition of 'underground' is a bit crude. Going underground will make it vanish, like this: Note that it will only be available while on the surface of the planet, outdoors. In the top-right of your screen, there is a button to teleport back to the ship.
