Planetesphobia Disable the pirate facility without entering the atmosphere in Learning to Survive scenario.Stay away from the atmosphere (>50 km).
My method :
- Salvage enough materials to build a ship and load them on the ship with the jump drive
- Use the jump drive to approach the earth (>50km)
- Build a ship (the heavier the better)
- Look around for asteroids if you need more materials
- Attach an antenna to this ship, activate it and increase the range from the control panel
- Go back to the ship with the jump drive
- Save the game
- Control the ship you’ve built from the ship with the jump drive
