Q: What does the "docker modules need to be on outside edge of ship" error in Starfield mean?

A: This error message in Starfield indicates that your Docker Modules are not correctly positioned according to the game's requirements. While you might assume it simply means placing the docker on the outer layer of your ship's design, it's actually about ensuring no other component of your spacecraft extends past the docker in the direction it's facing.

Q: Why does the error persist even after placing the docker on the outermost layer of my ship?

A: The game defines the "outside edge" not just by the outermost layer of the ship, but also by ensuring that no parts of your ship extend beyond the direction the docker is pointed in. For instance, if an engine is placed even one block higher than the docker, it can cause this error, even if the docker itself is on the ship's exterior.

Q: How can I resolve the "docker modules need to be on outside edge of ship" error?

A: To fix this, you need to ensure that no modules on your ship protrude beyond the docker in its pointed direction. If your docker faces upwards, for example, the ship can expand in width, but its height must not exceed the level at which the docker is positioned. Adjusting your ship's design to follow this principle should resolve the error.
