Well the Penguin King gave you a hint in the quest's description...

"I think you can get a beacon from a Penguin Branch Furniture Shop..." As for the shop in question? Check the Penguin Inventor's Table. All I'll say.

what if you die after using it, I can't seem to get it back to progress

That would be because the event's still going on. Check around the planet's surface where you died/in the area.

I did but no sign of the event, you think it despawned and bugged? or could be like way above it somehow?

Are you absolutely sure?... I have that boss (both phases) set to persistent. It shouldn't disappear when the player dies. I'll check it tomorrow either way, but with how my luck usually is, it's likely fine on my end. (Which always makes troubleshooting just peachy.. rofl)

I'll triple check and let you know (I saved and exited since, not sure if that will affect it)

I checked all the way up to the asteroids above the planet, then went crashing down a short way to the right of where I set it down and it came back!

sorry for any trouble but it should be working now

ig it's just hard to find when I come back where I spawned it. Having trouble finding it the 3rd time again but he'll probably show up randomly agagin

circled the planet still looking, man I suck at this

lost him again, how did I get it to spawn again that other time. guess it's a personal problem, thanks for the support tho

the spawncode id is /spawnitem penguindistressbeacon

Hm. Inspecting it, it seems that the boss has a nasty habit of flying off a little ways into the last direction it was moving when the player died. (And since the player stays dead for a good few seconds...... yeaah...)

This is also likely why some players have claimed to have despawning problems with it, and others haven't. It's not that it's despawning. He's just screwing with us -_-...


That said? I don't know how I'd tackle this issue, and I actually don't really have the time to squeeze experimenting with it in this update. I am working on a pretty notable feature, and some reworks.

Even then, I'll probably also drop the first phase of the boss down another level, and we'll see where that goes.

it's cool, thanks

here is my problem: so i beamed to a planet, used the beacon where i landed, then fought and won against the boss right? but it booted me back to my ship and now i cant beam to the planet without being booted back instantly
