Base Salvage Capsule is a base building product.

Summary[ | ]

Base Salvage Capsule is a base building product and it contains refunded materials from previous planetary bases (if you have any).

A construction recovery device.

This optional piece of base technology stores and preserves matter left over after the destruction of a previous base.

Base Salvage Capsule can be built using a blueprint and the following ingredients:

When a base is deleted via the Base Computer, half of the materials used in its construction will be retrievable from the Base Salvage Capsule.
The blueprint for constructing a Base Salvage Capsule is automatically unlocked after a player gets their first freighter.
In the save editor, there is a raw JSON file which depicts the "MagicChest" inventory. This packet stores half the items from your deleted bases via the Base Salvage Capsule, but it should be built on a planetary base. On a freighter, it will not function due to a seperate "MagicChest2" inventory that this capsule would have been tied to but never used, even if the freighter base is reset. (Confirmed Bug)
It is not needed prior to deleting an old base in order for the materials to be refunded, it simply allows the player to retrieve the refunded materials.
When already built, a Base Salvage Capsule appears as a Previous Base Cache.
Base Salvage Capsule can interfere with the proximity limit number of refiners. (Admin note: Reported, requires verification)

Currently broken on freighters, causing an 'inventory full' message, despite inventory not being full and the fact that it shouldn't affect your ability to open it.
