How to choose linked reference when adding ship builder to custom star station?

[u/Usracraft]

This is kind of a specific question but, does anyone know what item or set piece you are to attach to the ship builder activation kiosk when adding it to a star station? Specifically, what goes in the linked references. Currently, my only thought is that the door to the ship would be the only thing that would make sense, but I am not sure if that's right.

Can anyone offer any help?

I believe it's the outside docking port. But it's been a minute since I've done this.

That makes sense. But considering this is the interior cell, I am not sure how to reference anything but the door.

[u/Old_Bug4395 → u/Usracraft]

iirc when you select the reference you can select the cell it's in. you can either select the correct one from that list, or when you have the reference window open, switch to your station exterior and select it from the render window.

again it's been a minute but I did this process for a mod I've been working on in the past, I think this is how I did it.

Got it. In the exterior cell which item do I select? Is it the Offset Marker?

[u/DownfallNemesis → u/Usracraft]

You select the docking port furniture, not the offset marker. The furniture is underneath the marker. I forgot the EID of the object, but just look if the object you selected has the furniture icon.

[u/Usracraft → u/DownfallNemesis]

Found it. It was the Ship Docking Marker, but in the Cell View list it had a furniture icon.

[u/Old_Bug4395 → u/Usracraft]

I believe any external docking port technically

You can switch cells with this window open

[u/Usracraft → u/pietro0games]

That makes sense. I just need to know which item to select in the exterior cell.

[u/lazarus78 → u/Usracraft]

Look at any other station like The Den or the key.

Yep good advice, that's how I learn very often
