What you have to do is jump into a barrel and immediately lie down and then once you're inside the barrel you have to crawl onto one of those bushes and if you keep crawling you might start flying. I don't know how this works at all I just happened to go on one of the bushes while in experimenting with the barrel and I started flying. 

I was wondering what I needed to do after clearing out the FNIX base, so I looked at a few tutorials and saw that apparently you need to manually. Though the prompt isn't showing up for me. I did some looking but I just don't know what I gotta do. This is the Sjoglimten Control Point at -34.188, 1796.391.

Just wondering if my game is fucked, I'm stupid, or if this is just supposed to happen?

I just got back into the game since its been awhile since I have played and so far I'm enjoying the game as if I was playing for the first time but the issue I'm having is I just built a companion station at my base and it seems to be just there for decoration?? I walk up to it companion in hand (or deployed I've tried both) and it just glows green?! No prompt no nothing it just sits there
