How to fix Once Human start point locked

Check your feet.

Once Human has a rather large world, and it can be tiring to keep crossing it on foot (or on wheels), so the fast travel teleportation system is a must. However, you may encounter times when you get the message “Start Point Locked.” This is what it means and how to fix it.

You simply need to understand how the fast travel system works in Once Human. You can unlock points to teleport to by activating teleportation towers out in the world. You are also able to teleport to your home base. What is important to remember here is that you can’t just teleport to any available point from anywhere you’re standing. You can only do that at your home base.

If you are simply standing out in the middle of nowhere, you can fast-travel to your home base, but you’re not going to be able to teleport to a teleportation tower. That’s when you’ll see “Start Point Locked.” It is the worst wording possible for the problem. It’s not “Start Point Unsuitable,” which gives you more of an idea that this is a situational issue; it’s “Start Point Locked,” which suggests it’s a temporary problem solved by manual intervention. It could even be “Cannot teleport from present location,” but here we are.

To fix the “Starting Point Locked” issue, you just need to go to a teleportation tower and use that to teleport to the point where you need to go. You can also go to your home base and teleport from there. The important thing is that you can’t teleport from anywhere. So check your feet before you try to move your seat.
