How To Move Your Base
Use 2 Palboxes To Move
- Place a Palbox at new location.
- Build a Chest at new location.
- Disassemble buildings at old base.
- Fast Travel to transport your items.
- Disassemble Palbox at old base.

First thing you need to do is place a Palbox at the new location of your base. The Palbox will become the center of your base, so place it in the middle rather than near the edges.

Before going to your new location, have the materials ready for the Palbox and Chest.

Place a chest for storing your items you will bring from your old base.

Use the Palbox to Fast Travel to your old base and disassemble all the buildings. However you will need the Palbox to Fast Travel, so leave that there.

Once you finish disassembling the buildings, take all the items you can carry and Fast Travel to the new location. Put all the items in the chest you made in the new base and go back to your old base. Repeat until you transport all your items.

When you get weighed down by carrying too many items, you won't be able to move freely. However if you use a Grappling Gun, you can move fast while still carrying your items. It may require getting used to, but try it out if you don't want to waste any time.

If you want to move your base using just 1 Palbox, the easiest way is to use the Respawn feature. But before you do that, you will need to change the Death Penalty settings to No Drops.

Once you change the settings, disassemble the Palbox at your old base and place it again at the new location. Once you disassemble the Palbox, any structures that cannot be built outside of a base will be automatically disassembled so don't forget to collect the materials.

Before going to your new location, have the materials ready for the Palbox and Chest.

Place a chest for storing your items you will bring from your old base.

Use the Palbox to Fast Travel to your old base and disassemble all the buildings. Bring all the materials of the disassembled buildings to your new base so you can use them again.

Once you finish disassembling the buildings, carry all the items you can. If you carry more than you can, your movement will become extremely slow so be careful.

When you get weighed down by carrying too many items, you won't be able to move freely. However if you use a Grappling Gun, you can move fast while still carrying your items. It may require getting used to, but try it out if you don't want to waste any time.

Once you have the items in your inventory, open the menu and choose Respawn in the options tab. Then you can choose where to respawn on the map.

If you don't have another base, we recommend respawning at the Plateau of Beginnings. There is a Fast Travel point right nearby so it will be easy to get back to your base.
Once you get back to your new base, put all your items in the chest.
Repeat the process until you finished moving all your items to your new base.
How To Move Items Only
- Make space in Inventory
- Disassemble existing and unfinished facilities
- Required materials are added to Inventory
- Go to new base and rebuild facilities

First, deposit items into the chest and clear out your inventory. If you want to move a large number of items and equipment all at once, it's recommended to deposit them all beforehand.

As a measure against being overencumbered, it is recommended to equip the Grappling Gun. It can be used as a means to move when you are immobilized due to carrying too many items.

Disassemble the facilities you want to move. Even if there are facilities at the current base that have not been built yet, you can hold down the cancel button to dismantle them.
How To Disassemble
When you disassemble any buildings or facilities, the materials used to build it will automatically go back to your inventory. Facilities that use Ingots and similar items can be really heavy, so be careful of your weight limit.

Fast travel to the new base and start rebuilding the facilities. Since the required materials should already be in your inventory, this makes it easier to construct facilities at a new base where materials are scarce.
