I was trying the tutorial because I just got the game.
When it said to go towards the NPC the NPC was not there.
I went looking for it and when I came to a window I saw the NPC falling down from the ship or space base.
It would get to a point and vanish and then do it again.
I skipped that one and went to the next one and that was fine till I got to the one that is meant to teach you how to make tools and weapons and it was doing it too.
