Could i have some help please?

Post by guy325 »

Just to make this short, I spawned in on a new map and about 3 hours in I realised that I was on a large island: large enough to contain many different ores and such(along with oil) but I also realised that there were no aliens on this island and no land close to it. So this is my problem: no alien technology. Is there a way to fix this problem? boat or bridge mod? teleporters? alien eggs? i would realy like to continue on the world but i have none of these. Any solutions?

Thank you for this idea, it is helpful in other situations too but I still don't see how I could get aliens on my island now or in the future. :(

Offtopic, if you're crafting that much, you should make a factory to do it for you, so you can do other things. I only craft items that I won't use in volume, like oil refineries, or are really far for me to get right now.

It's a map bug, you have to restart. Sorry.

Currently, apart from using Landfill mod to actually fill a piece of land to connect your island to the continent, I see nothing, I'm sorry :?
