Anyway, I wanted to add: What happened in my case is that clearing the cache files seemed to have reversed the current that dragged my lifepod away, so it came back. It is stiull drifting though but exactly towards my habitat...
Why can I edit only my own comment but not my original post?
Anway, another addition. It seems clearing the cachefiles fixed the gravity anchor and it slowly dragged the lifepod back to it's original position. It sits there now, locked in place as if it had never been away, the shrewd little bugger...

It still drifts once you fix it. The drifitng is a bug.
Interesting re the lifepod. It has long known to be a quirky little machine and it at least used to be the case that it could drift into the rad zone. Being able to fix that by clearing the cachefiles would be appreciated by those poor folk.
Post editing: So we end up adding comments to our own post. I don't see how this makes things less confusing
Lifepod: At least there is a workaround now
Changing the OP could be confusing but not always.
Eg. with a discussion to generate ideas or gather feedback. Rather than requiring everyone to read and stay up to date on every single reply, ideas / feedback are edited onto the end of the OP. That's really helpful.
Or sometimes the OP is wrong. Others point out the error. And keep on pointing it out - because quite naturally not everyone reads every reply. But they do read the OP so being able to edit a correction into it is really helpful.
etc. etc.

Exactly. But the anchor breaks and clearing the cache files can fix it.
That sounds a bit half-arsed to me. It should just be fixed in place (or have that option) from the beginning of a game. Give us an anchor we can turn on / off as needed which keeps it in its current position and default it to on.
Personally I couldn't care less if it drifted off into the dunes eventually. It's nothing but a junk beacon signal to me once I've built a base. The main problem is if it drifts into eg. the radiation zone before you've built a base. Because then you have fabricator and the game is over. I'm not likely to have that problem since I know where everything is and can get a base started pretty quickly. But properly new players could get stuck this way.
I am curious how this turns out
Thanks for letting us save when we want unlike so many bad devs who put in save points, can't stand games that do that. Ruined Farcry, Dying Light, and so many others due to the horrible save feature all because the last gen consoles not having a large hard drive.....that ain't a problem anymore so don't go that direction.
