A new Elite Dangerous commander building their first colony has run into a station placement problem. After constructing a primary port, an outpost, and an installation, the outpost and installation appeared far from their intended slots—over 70,000 light seconds from the system’s star instead of the marked green, blue, and violet construction points. Despite recent maintenance, the issue remains unresolved, and the colony data fails to display properly on Inara, a popular third-party tool. The commander is seeking community input to clarify whether this is a bug or a procedural error in colony building.
- Outpost and installation spawn far from designated slots.
- Colony data not showing correctly on Inara tool.
