AtlasNmscord Beginner Tips

sp
Settings

If this is your first time playing No Man's Sky:

• There are multiple game modes available, with different difficulty presets. Creative, Relaxed, Normal and Survival game mode saves can all play with each other, while Permadeath and Expedition game modes are separate.

• Go to Options > Network, and disable ability of other players to damage you, edit your bases, or edit your base terrain (discourages griefers). See multiplayer visual guide ».

• Excluding content designed with multiplayer in mind, progress isn't shared between players. It is in fact recommended to play the main (tutorial) missions with multiplayer disabled to prevent issues, at least until you unlock access to the Space Anomaly.

• If you are on PC and want to use the Plasma or Geo Cannon weapons, you might want to re-map secondary fire bind to be anything but RMB, since RMB is also hard-coded to "exit menu."

happygek General Tips

• Save often: update your Restore Point by exiting the starship, claiming a Base Computer, interacting with a Save Point/Save Beacon, or the waypoint machines you find at some Points of Interest (POIs).
• Sentinels are like police in NMS: they don't like it when you destroy, mine or harvest rocks or plants from a planet. When they're watching, stop or move away from them to resume harvesting resources. Avoid entering your ship with an active Sentinel Alert Level: sentinel ships are more difficult to evade than planet sentinels. For tips on how to evade sentinels, take a look at this post.

• The Space Anomaly NPCs and terminals are the single biggest source to learn technology or base part blueprints.

• To easily return to a system or planet you like, place and claim a base computer and name it something you will remember.

• Storage upgrades can be applied to exosuit, ships, multi-tools and freighter. To apply a storage upgrade to a different inventory, switch inventory by pressing Q or E (dpad left or right), then apply the storage upgrade. Storage upgrades can be purchased with units, but also obtained from other sources like scrapping ships or mission board rewards.

• Discovering and registering the complete list of fauna on a planet (at once) will reward nanites - 250 per fauna.

Info For more inventory management tips, See this post ».
gdiv
NormalMode Missions

It's strongly recommended to play the entire main storyline, Artemis Path, and the Atlas Path. Playing all the "important" quests (Artemis path, The Atlas Path, The Space Anomaly, the Base Computer Quest, and Expanding the Base quests) will:
• Introduce you to many of the game's mechanics.

• Teach you unique tech and abilities you can't get anywhere else.

• Give you a lot of free tech you'd have to buy at the Space Anomaly otherwise.

Info The active mission will switch between available missions in the Logs. It can be well timed or random. You need to reselect the desired mission in the Log menu to continue.

<:AtlasNmscord:1269532093076078658> Early Game Inventory Management

What should I keep?
gdiv
It's recommended to keep only items that benefit your survival or are needed for traveling and missions, such as :

Oxygen/Life Support Gel - Used for life support recharging.
Sodium/Sodium Nitrate - Used for recharging base Hazardous Protection.
Copper/Chromatic Metal - Used for many things, Chromatic Metal will be a needed resource throughout the game. Copper is listed here because it refines to Chromatic Metal and you always start in a yellow system with Copper.
Carbon/Condensed Carbon - Used for recharging Mining Beam.
Dihydrogen - Used for Launch Fuel and Life Support Gel, as well as refining recipes.
Silicate Powder - Used for recharging the Terrain Manipulator and you will often have it in your inventory.
Ferrite Dust - Used for many things and will be needed for early game missions.
Ion Batteries - Used for recharging Hazardous Protection Modules.

Info Sell or discard extra stacks (the smaller stacks) of these easily obtained materials, the game will teach you how to find them, and you can also utilize the catalogue for pinning materials that the game will then guide you to.
gdiv
Tritium and Launch Fuel - Used for recharging Pulse Drive and Launch Thrusters. Keep these as recharge materials until you start finding:
Uranium and Pyrite - Used for recharging Launch Thrusters and Pulse Drive. Once you start finding these elements (or can buy them), you should gather them. They are far more efficient for charging.
Salvaged Data - Used for unlocking base parts. Following the [main story line](#nms-questions message) and other quests will unlock many things for free, you will use salvaged data for the building parts you don't unlock this way.

Info You can stop collecting Launch Fuel once you have ample Uranium, but Tritium will be needed later for making Freighter Fuel which is used for frigate expeditions.
gdiv
Once storage space is less of an issue, hanging on to these items is recommended to do. Keep in mind these are more mid game items, so feel free to sell them if inventory slots are at a premium still.

Salvaged Frigate Modules - Used for unlocking freighter tech that upgrade various stats and base parts specific to freighters.
[Starship Storage Augmentations](#nms-questions message) - Used for expanding your starship's inventory capacity.
Cargo Bulkheads - Used for expanding your freighter's inventory capacity.
Multitool Expansion Slots - Used for expanding your multitool's inventory capacity.

<:AtlasNmscord:1269532093076078658> **Derelict Freighter Events**

**Why can't I land on this derelict? Help **
There are two different derelict freighter events in the game.

gdiv Not Boardable, if the derelict...
• is broken into large pieces, like the lower freighter model in this image
• has no landing pads by the bridge
• has shootable cargo pods nearby (it may not)

If there are nearby cargo pods, you may shoot them for materials, which it will trigger pirates.

gdiv Boardable, if the derelict...
• is not broken into major pieces
• has four landing pads located by the bridge
• looks like the top freighter model in this image (colors vary)

You may find it just by pulsing on rare occasions. But if you activate an Emergency Signal Scanner (ESS) in your inventory, you'll ensure one spawns. Once it's detected (see example), exit pulse, land and loot. Be ready with life support recharges, cold protection recharges, and ammo for your weapon of choice.

NmsAtlas The First Visit to The Space Anomaly

sp
During your first visit to the Anomaly, there are a few things you have to do, and those steps have to be done in order.

AlertRed Do not do anything else until you do these in order.

Make sure you keep the The Space Anomaly mission selected while you do the following:

  1. Speak with Nada
  2. Speak with Polo
  3. Speak with Helios
  4. Speak with Selene (Exosuit upgrade vendor)
  5. Browse the Construction Research Station
  6. Speak with Nada once more

Note: Even though the mission will tell you to, you do not have to buy anything at either vendor screen.

!faq-maps in #bot-spam will show you where each of these spots are if you get lost.

📚 After this visit, you can summon the Space Anomaly when in space, using your ship quick menu.

Info You can stop collecting Launch Fuel once you have ample Uranium, but Tritium will be needed later for making Freighter Fuel which is used for frigate expeditions.
gdiv
Once storage space is less of an issue, hanging on to these items is recommended to do. Keep in mind these are more mid game items, so feel free to sell them if inventory slots are at a premium still.

Salvaged Frigate Modules - Used for unlocking freighter tech that upgrade various stats and base parts specific to freighters.
[Starship Storage Augmentations](#nms-questions message) - Used for expanding your starship's inventory capacity.
Cargo Bulkheads - Used for expanding your freighter's inventory capacity.
Multitool Expansion Slots - Used for expanding your multitool's inventory capacity.

This is just an example of adjacency and supercharged slots. Note that supercharging bonuses always beats adjacency bonuses. Therefore, to maximize tech stats, split apart tech to utilize supercharged slots, as they will yield superior results over maintaining perfect adjacency.

  • Archived Ships, if any;
  • Unlocked research;

Notes:

  • Installed tech and upgrade modules aren't automatically transferred, it's recommended to package them before committing to getting a new freighter;
  • We can switch inventories when in the Exchange screen: if the new freighter has enough cargo slots, items held in current freighter cargo can be pushed to the new freighter's inventory;
  • Storage Room contents are always safe, nothing to worry about;

Game mode explained:

Expeditions are an alternate time-limited, season-like game mode with a set of challenges rewarding exclusive items that can be claimed in any and all of your saves, in any game mode account-wide.

Info To get past expedition rewards, you must wait for possible future expedition re-runs (see past expeditions) or possible future Twitch Twitch Drops campaigns featuring old expedition rewards (see past campaigns). You may also obtain certain rewards via other unconventional means, including ship trading or using a "service bot" in the Creative Hub Discord. Additionally, PC players (Steam GOG GamePass) can get past rewards via save editing or #nms-modding.

info What should I look for in a first freighter?

It's this author's opinion that for a first freighter, any freighter will do. If you like the one you're looking at, great, but getting a freighter ASAP is more important. Stats don't matter at this point, and for a few reasons:

  • Early on, a character won't have the resources to make full use of a higher class freighter;
  • All freighters have the same base building dimension limits;
    -# Freighter base can be migrated over to a new freighter, when we decide to exchange.
  • Matter Beam freighter tech is a huge QoL feature: provides remote access to freighter core cargo from anywhere in the universe and, when freighter is in the current system, to any storage room built on the freighter base;
    -# Freighter research is unlocked save wide, and we can package installed tech/modules at any time when in our freighters.
  • Fleet expeditions can give some nice loot, and run even when game is turned off;
  • Units won't be a problem later on, when we want to exchange to another freighter.

How to Trade a Starship

-# As of Update 5.29 (<t:1733917364:D>), it's been confirmed that this is a viable option again for all ships, except fabricated ships.

info Traded ships have mods and number of slots reset to default settings, and any cargo is lost. Traded ships also get class and stats re-rolled -- except Exotics and Living Ships, which only get stats re-rolled as those are always (S) class.

  1. ❗IMPORTANT: Save to create a Restore Point prior to the trade.
  2. Be in the same multiplayer group with your friend.
  3. Go to a Space Station, Trading Outpost, or Planetary Archive -- anywhere that has NPC ship landing bays.
  4. Make your friend stand in front of your ship, the one you're trading, so they can quickly interact with the NPC as soon as it teleports to your ship.
  5. Exchange your ship with an NPC.
  6. Immediately ask your friend to interact with the NPC to exchange or claim the traded ship for free.
  7. Disable multiplayer in settings and Leave Group.
  8. Make your friend Save to create a Restore Point.
  9. Reload your individual Restore Points:
  • Your Restore Point should be before the trade so that you can retain your ship.
  • Friend's Restore Point should be after the trade & disabling multiplayer so that they can retain their ship.

<:AtlasNmscord:1269532093076078658> **Information on Quicksilver** <:quicksilver:514812470095773696>

Quicksilver is not a microtransaction currency. You can obtain Quicksilver through missions at the Nexus.

Daily Quicksilver Missions
You can complete one 400 Quicksilver mission per day, if you miss one, you will be able to do two the next day, up to three available missions. The secondary reward and type of mission refresh every 10 minutes.

Weekend Missions
Weekend missions run from Friday 6pm UTC until Monday 9am UTC and offer 1,800 Quicksilver. You can only complete this once per week. This mission will be the same type and take place in the same system for everyone. The secondary rewards will still refresh every 10 minutes.

Spending Quicksilver
You can spend Quicksilver at Polo's Quicksilver Synthesis Companion (QSC), also found in the Space Anomaly. While most Quicksilver items are cosmetic, there are exceptions such as: Void Eggs, base building parts, starship trails and figurines for your cockpit. Unless the item is consumable (e.g. fireworks, Void Eggs), all purchased items in the QSC shop are unlocked account-wide, instead of per save.

Info The QSC is also where you redeem Expedition and Twitch rewards some of which cannot be purchased with Quicksilver.

Community Research Milestones
Community Research rewards are unlocked in phases by the community completing any type of Nexus mission, not just Quicksilver missions. When a phase is complete, a new item is unlocked for purchase at the QSC.
All gamemodes and players collectively contribute to the progression of Community Research.

Alternative sources of Quicksilver
You can receive Quicksilver by speaking to Nada periodically during the main storyline and/or through the condensed stellar ice pulse/space encounter.

#bot-spam Commands:
Run !faq-maps for help locating the Nexus and the Quicksilver Synthesis Companion.
Run !tier to see the current progress for Community Research missions.
Run !faq-starbirth to learn more about the Void Egg.

  1. Obtain the race relic item to give to a Monolith, [see this post](#nms-questions message);
  2. Locate a Monolith, [see this post](#nms-questions message);
  3. Interact with the same Monolith twice to locate Portal, [see this post](#nms-questions message).

📚 Notes:

  • Portals don't have to be unlocked via any quest.
  • To fully use the portal network, the player must unlock all 16 portal glyphs and purple star systems.
    • Run !faq-portalglyphs and !faq-purplesystems in #bot-spam to learn more.
  • A portal is not the same as a teleporter. (see image externallink)
  • For planets in uncharted systems, obtain the glyph address of that planet via photomode, and portal to it from another system.

AtlasNmscord Beginner Tips

sp
Settings

If this is your first time playing No Man's Sky:

• There are multiple game modes available, with different difficulty presets. Creative, Relaxed, Normal and Survival game mode saves can all play with each other, while Permadeath and Expedition game modes are separate.

• Go to Options > Network, and disable ability of other players to damage you, edit your bases, or edit your base terrain (discourages griefers). See multiplayer visual guide ».

• Excluding content designed with multiplayer in mind, progress isn't shared between players. It is in fact recommended to play the main (tutorial) missions with multiplayer disabled to prevent issues, at least until you unlock access to the Space Anomaly.

• If you are on PC and want to use the Plasma or Geo Cannon weapons, you might want to re-map secondary fire bind to be anything but RMB, since RMB is also hard-coded to "exit menu."
gdiv
happygek General Tips

• Save often: update your Restore Point by exiting the starship, claiming a Base Computer, interacting with a Save Point/Save Beacon, or the waypoint machines you find at some Points of Interest (POIs).
• Sentinels are like police in NMS: they don't like it when you destroy, mine or harvest rocks or plants from a planet. When they're watching, stop or move away from them to resume harvesting resources. Avoid entering your ship with an active Sentinel Alert Level: sentinel ships are more difficult to evade than planet sentinels. For tips on how to evade sentinels, take a look at this post.

• The Space Anomaly NPCs and terminals are the single biggest source to learn technology or base part blueprints.

• To easily return to a system or planet you like, place and claim a base computer and name it something you will remember.

• Storage upgrades can be applied to exosuit, ships, multi-tools and freighter. To apply a storage upgrade to a different inventory, switch inventory by pressing Q or E (dpad left or right), then apply the storage upgrade. Storage upgrades can be purchased with units, but also obtained from other sources like scrapping ships or mission board rewards.

• Discovering and registering the complete list of fauna on a planet (at once) will reward nanites - 250 per fauna.

Info For more inventory management tips, See this post ».
gdiv
NormalMode Missions

It's strongly recommended to play the entire main storyline, Artemis Path, and the Atlas Path. Playing all the "important" quests (Artemis path, The Atlas Path, The Space Anomaly, the Base Computer Quest, and Expanding the Base quests) will:
• Introduce you to many of the game's mechanics.

• Teach you unique tech and abilities you can't get anywhere else.

• Give you a lot of free tech you'd have to buy at the Space Anomaly otherwise.

Info The active mission will switch between available missions in the Logs. It can be well timed or random. You need to reselect the desired mission in the Log menu to continue.

expedition Expedition Info

Game mode explained:

Expeditions are an alternate time-limited, season-like game mode with a set of challenges rewarding exclusive items that can be claimed in any and all of your saves, in any game mode account-wide.

Info To get past expedition rewards, you must wait for possible future expedition re-runs (see past expeditions) or possible future Twitch Twitch Drops campaigns featuring old expedition rewards (see past campaigns). You may also obtain certain rewards via other unconventional means, including ship trading or using a "service bot" in the Creative Hub Discord. Additionally, PC players (Steam GOG GamePass) can get past rewards via save editing or #nms-modding.

#

-# pointdownto view info below, enable embedsexternallink

<:AtlasNmscord:1269532093076078658> **Organic (Living) Frigates**

AlertRed You can not recruit a living frigate if your fleet already has 30 frigates.
You can only recruit a living frigate once per system.

With Dream Aerial (Required for your first)

To obtain your first organic frigate, send out fleet expeditions until you receive a blueprint for the Dream Aerial. Craft the Dream Aerial (1 Solar Mirror and 3 Living Glass) and pulse drive in space with your ship. You will get an encounter with an organic frigate that asks many questions to determine the stats of the frigate. After you finish the questions, claim the living frigate.

Info Using the Dream Aerial randomizes class, which is otherwise fixed per system. The Dream Aerial is only used this first time, don't hold on to it: delete it or give it to another player that needs one.
gdiv
With Anomaly Detectors

After acquiring your first organic frigate, you may now use Anomaly Detectors to acquire more. These are rare drops from blowing up asteroids.

Activate pulse drive (as stated above, use an Anomaly detector before doing so). Keep your pulse drive fueled as this may take some time depending on the system. While pulsing you may see alerts for rare objects or traders, ignore them. The Anomaly detector will be consumed if you exit pulse. Continue pulsing until you receive a Whalesong signal to discover a living frigate with these price ranges:

C-Class: 7,500,000 - 12,500,000 units.
B-Class: 15,000,000 - 25,000,000 units.
A-Class: 26,250,000 - 43,750,000 units.
S-Class: 37,500,000 - 62,500,000 units.

Info Known Issues:

  • If you have a void egg in any of your inventories, its space encounter will keep spamming you, and can prevent you from getting the Whalesong signal encounter. To workaround this bug, retrieve the egg and store it in your suit, then go to space, pulse until hailed by the alien mothership, and select Hatch on the dialog. Ignore the Starbirth mission marker, you can now select any different mission, and return to using anomaly detectors.
  • If you begin to notice any odd graphical glitches, stop and pulse in the opposite direction.
    gdiv
    Additional Info
    Feeding food to an organic frigate (freighter fleet management terminal > click on an organic frigate), will change its stats. Anything you feed a specific frigate should always reproduce that same result.
    For example:
    Feeding your frigate item A yields one result. Feeding it item B yields another. If you feed it item A again, it will be the same result you got the first time you fed it item A.

<:AtlasNmscord:1269532093076078658> **How to find Mechafauna?**

Mechafauna are an alien animal species in No Man's Sky. They can appear as mechanical, sentient quadrupeds (should not be confused with sentinel quads, or arachnids), or as walking buildings. They come with an assortment of ornamental parts. Quadrupeds » Walking buildings »

There are some very specific things to look for when trying to find the mechafauna:

  • You must be in an Uncharted system (Red, Blue, Green stars, preferably in Red).
  • After scanning the system either via Freighter or by landing on the planets:
  • Either select the Exploration Guide in your logs to check how many fauna species are on that planet.
  • Or look at the hint at the bottom right hand side of the screen after scanning anything on the planet while exploration guide is selected from the logs.
  • Or look into the Discovery tab to find the total number of creatures.
    The planet must have 4 animal species.

📖 Did you know?

  • Mechafauna can be tamed, ridden, the quadrupeds can be decorated on their chest.
  • Creature Pellets can be used to tame them, but only with Automated Feeders. Direct interaction uses an Ion Battery, and they produce chewy wire instead of organic materials.
  • They lay eggs that can be genetically modified in the Egg Sequencer. A list of items used to change the quadruped colors can be found here #nms-fauna message
  • Walking buildings will spawn 5 alerted sentinels if destroyed, as well as drop a Mineral record that can be analyzed to reward you 30-100 nanites.

-# pointdownto view info below, enable embedsexternallink

<:AtlasNmscord:1269532093076078658> **Organic (Living) Frigates**

AlertRed You can not recruit a living frigate if your fleet already has 30 frigates.
You can only recruit a living frigate once per system.

With Dream Aerial (Required for your first)

To obtain your first organic frigate, send out fleet expeditions until you receive a blueprint for the Dream Aerial. Craft the Dream Aerial (1 Solar Mirror and 3 Living Glass) and pulse drive in space with your ship. You will get an encounter with an organic frigate that asks many questions to determine the stats of the frigate. After you finish the questions, claim the living frigate.

Info Using the Dream Aerial randomizes class, which is otherwise fixed per system. The Dream Aerial is only used this first time, don't hold on to it: delete it or give it to another player that needs one.
gdiv
With Anomaly Detectors

After acquiring your first organic frigate, you may now use Anomaly Detectors to acquire more. These are rare drops from blowing up asteroids.

Activate pulse drive (as stated above, use an Anomaly detector before doing so). Keep your pulse drive fueled as this may take some time depending on the system. While pulsing you may see alerts for rare objects or traders, ignore them. The Anomaly detector will be consumed if you exit pulse. Continue pulsing until you receive a Whalesong signal to discover a living frigate with these price ranges:

C-Class: 7,500,000 - 12,500,000 units.
B-Class: 15,000,000 - 25,000,000 units.
A-Class: 26,250,000 - 43,750,000 units.
S-Class: 37,500,000 - 62,500,000 units.

Info Known Issues:

  • If you have a void egg in any of your inventories, its space encounter will keep spamming you, and can prevent you from getting the Whalesong signal encounter. To workaround this bug, retrieve the egg and store it in your suit, then go to space, pulse until hailed by the alien mothership, and select Hatch on the dialog. Ignore the Starbirth mission marker, you can now select any different mission, and return to using anomaly detectors.
  • If you begin to notice any odd graphical glitches, stop and pulse in the opposite direction.
    gdiv
    Additional Info
    Feeding food to an organic frigate (freighter fleet management terminal > click on an organic frigate), will change its stats. Anything you feed a specific frigate should always reproduce that same result.
    For example:
    Feeding your frigate item A yields one result. Feeding it item B yields another. If you feed it item A again, it will be the same result you got the first time you fed it item A.

<:info:850810445577453658> Frigates in a Nutshell
  • Base stats don't matter much, unless you're trying to get maxed out frigates as a personal goal - it won't be necessary to successfully complete all expeditions.
  • Recruiting C-class frigates with less than 4 expeditions and low fuel usage (2-4 for supports, 4-7 for non-supports) is a perfectly valid strategy, as they still have all their 10 rankups ahead of them, with the potential to become even stronger than natural spawn higher class frigates (note: Living Frigates are different, since they always spawn with 0 expeditions completed);
  • The goal is to have enough frigates to not only run expeditions, but to have balanced fleets, always scoring at least 1 star higher than expedition difficulty rating;
  • What is a balanced fleet? A fleet that's decently powerful on all 4 stat types, i.e. combat, exploration, trade, industrial;
  • Later on, freighter fleet upgrade modules will help push every fleet you send to 150 score on all 4 stat types.

<:pirate:930644946615152660> **How to Pirate & Recover Standing**
  • Why pirate? It's an easy way to get some useful resources, such as chromatic metal, gold, frigate fuel etc., salvaged frigate modules (these are used to unlock upgrades and base parts for your freighter) and contraband cargo; which can sell for high prices in non-Outlaw systems.
  • Where to pirate? Outlaw systems are considered the best to use as there are no System Authorities (sentinels).
  • How to pirate? Freighters have cargo pods attached to the hull that you can shoot - if you want to be selective, first scout the pods by approaching and aiming at them.
  • Shooting pods escorting the freighters or the hull pods will result in system race standing loss, and outlaw faction standing increase.
  • When you start destroying the cargo pods, enemy ships will start spawning. Don't shoot them, or more ships will come. Guns on the freighter are weak compared to enemy ships.
  • To escape: Land on the Space Anomaly, a station or any friendly freighter, including your own. You can also boost away until the Pulse Drive is ready to engage.
  • Recover standing: Land at a trade outpost in a system for the applicable race and buy race curiosities to gift to NPCs. The curiosities may also be acquired from various missions and containers, as well as frigate expeditions. A Forged Passport will reset your standing to 1 when currently negative, while it increases your standing +1 when currently positive.

<:AtlasNmscord:1269532093076078658> The Atlas Path

The Atlas Path objective is to visit Atlas Stations and learn the 10 Atlas Seed blueprints. Once a blueprint has been learned, the mission will task you with progressing on to the next Atlas Station.

To unlock all the blueprints, you must have reached Magellan rank by completing 50 Journey Milestones. Check your milestone progress and rank in your Catalog & Guide.

info The Atlas Path can be progressed in tandem with the main story mission titled The Purge. Type !faq-artemispath in #bot-spam for more details.

Craft the last seed, Heart of the Sun, after unlocking it. For a list of resources you'll need, see image »

Depending on the choice made at the 11th (final) Atlas Station, you will either learn the Star Seed or the Mark of the Denier exosuit technology blueprint. An endless mission titled Atlas Eternal will then be available, rewarding 1 Atlas word, and approximately 600 nanites with each additional interaction.

Known issues:

  • Leaving the final Atlas Interface system to get resources for crafting Heart of the Sun can lead to bugs. We strongly recommend that you craft Heart of the Sun before entering the last Atlas station.
  • You may end up with two Atlas Eternal missions in your Log if you unlocked Mark of the Denier.

!faq-Likholu

river micaBOT
#

-# pointdownto view info below, enable embedsexternallink

🚫 **What is Likholu**?

Likholu is a hidden star system within the radius of ~3000 light-years around the core of Euclid. Although it is not available through normal means, players have been able to visit these systems through bugs/glitches, mods, save editing, or other tools (see #nms-modding). Being that it's the very first hidden star system, referred to as a "phantom star," in the starting galaxy (Euclid), it logically became a target once these hidden systems were first discovered in 2016. This likely also resulted in becoming a known system for the many issues it has accumulated over the years.

⚠️ Be aware, we advise you, DO NOT attempt to visit this system. It's caused so many problems reported by the community, that it is strongly discouraged to pay a visit by any means. Some of the reported issues include becoming trapped, having freighter bases wiped when summoned there, and complex save-file corruption. If you insist on visiting it, do so at your own risk. ❗ If you're on PC, PS4 or have access to Game Pass Ultimate, you can and should back up your save file(s) before that -- run !Faq-SaveFiles in #bot-spam or get more details in #nms-questions. You have been warned. There are reasons why Hello Games prevents players from finding themselves in this system by accident.

expedition Expedition Info

Game mode explained:

Expeditions are an alternate time-limited, season-like game mode with a set of challenges rewarding exclusive items that can be claimed in any and all of your saves, in any game mode account-wide.

Info To get past expedition rewards, you must wait for possible future expedition re-runs (see past expeditions) or possible future Twitch Twitch Drops campaigns featuring old expedition rewards (see past campaigns). You may also obtain certain rewards via other unconventional means, including ship trading or using a "service bot" in the Creative Hub Discord. Additionally, PC players (Steam GOG GamePass) can get past rewards via save editing or #nms-modding.

  3. Interact with the same Monolith twice to locate Portal, [see this post](#nms-questions message).

📚 Notes:

  • Portals don't have to be unlocked via any quest.
  • To fully use the portal network, the player must unlock all 16 portal glyphs and purple star systems.
    • Run !faq-portalglyphs and !faq-purplesystems in #bot-spam to learn more.
  • A portal is not the same as a teleporter. (see image externallink)

If you save+reload restore point at a planet base, you should then be allowed to quick menu/summon any of your ships, regardless of state.

<:info:850810445577453658> How to easily spawn Sentinel Freighter

Note: This only works in non-outlaw systems.

  • Save+reload first.
  • Repeatedly shoot the space station till wanted level 4
  • Then pulse boost away from the station to lure sentinel ships away from it (we do so to avoid the infinite sentinel ship spawn behavior, we can't get to level 5 by just shooting the station alone)
  • Destroy sentinel ships till wanted level goes up to 5, just wait for sentinel freighter to spawn.

(How to destroy it: fly inside the shields, shoot both shield generators on both sides, then just shoot it pretty much anywhere till it blows up.)

<:AtlasNmscord:1269532093076078658> Spectral Classifications

In the Galaxy Map, below the star system name, you can find the spectral class letter:

• F & G = Yellow (copper/activated copper)
• K & M = Red (cadmium/activated cadmium)
• E = Green (emeril/activated emeril)
• B & O = Blue (indium/activated indium)
• X & Y = Purple (quartzite/activated quartzite)

info Colour blind filters are available in Options > General Options > Galaxy Map Colour Filter.

Regular starships and freighters require hyperdrive tech upgrades to be able to reach RGBP systems. An Atlantid Drive (Starship) or Resonance Matrix (Freighter) will cover all systems; there is no need for the previous drives to be installed other than a boost to range (most notable for the Freighter). Living ships only share the Atlantid Drive requirement to reach purple systems.

❗ To reach purple systems, completion of the 'In Stellar Multitudes' mission is required. Obtaining the required drives in any other way, will not work (unless current save is an Expedition17 converted save) .

Note: There's no information in game files that proves the host star temperature and oddities have any influence at all on system planet biome probability chances.

📖 Did you know? A star system may have only its stellar metal, its activated version or both.

<:AtlasNmscord:1269532093076078658> **Information on Quicksilver** <:quicksilver:514812470095773696>

Quicksilver is not a microtransaction currency. You can obtain Quicksilver through missions at the Nexus.

Daily Quicksilver Missions
You can complete one 400 Quicksilver mission per day, if you miss one, you will be able to do two the next day, up to three available missions. The secondary reward and type of mission refresh every 10 minutes.

Weekend Missions
Weekend missions run from Friday 6pm UTC until Monday 9am UTC and offer 1,800 Quicksilver. You can only complete this once per week. This mission will be the same type and take place in the same system for everyone. The secondary rewards will still refresh every 10 minutes.

Spending Quicksilver
You can spend Quicksilver at Polo's Quicksilver Synthesis Companion (QSC), also found in the Space Anomaly. While most Quicksilver items are cosmetic, there are exceptions such as: Void Eggs, base building parts, starship trails and figurines for your cockpit. Unless the item is consumable (e.g. fireworks, Void Eggs), all purchased items in the QSC shop are unlocked account-wide, instead of per save.

Info The QSC is also where you redeem Expedition and Twitch rewards some of which cannot be purchased with Quicksilver.

Community Research Milestones
Community Research rewards are unlocked in phases by the community completing any type of Nexus mission, not just Quicksilver missions. When a phase is complete, a new item is unlocked for purchase at the QSC.
All gamemodes and players collectively contribute to the progression of Community Research.

Alternative sources of Quicksilver
You can receive Quicksilver by speaking to Nada periodically during the main storyline and/or through the condensed stellar ice pulse/space encounter.

#bot-spam Commands:
Run !faq-maps for help locating the Nexus and the Quicksilver Synthesis Companion.
Run !tier to see the current progress for Community Research missions.
Run !faq-starbirth to learn more about the Void Egg.

<:info:850810445577453658> How to easily spawn Sentinel Freighter

Note: This only works in non-outlaw systems.

  • Save+reload first.
  • Repeatedly shoot the space station till wanted level 4
  • Then pulse boost away from the station to lure sentinel ships away from it (we do so to avoid the infinite sentinel ship spawn behavior, we can't get to level 5 by just shooting the station alone)
  • Destroy sentinel ships till wanted level goes up to 5, just wait for sentinel freighter to spawn.

(How to destroy it: fly inside the shields, shoot both shield generators on both sides, then just shoot it pretty much anywhere till it blows up.)

<:info:850810445577453658> Why can't I trigger a warp-in freighter rescue battle, I have been playing for xyz hours and warped more than 5 times?

Short answer: You most likely have not accumulated 3h of gameplay since the last warp-in rescue battle event. Actions like alt-tabbing, opening pause menu, warping or teleporting, photo-mode or exiting the game will pause the timer.

Including the above mentioned reasoning, there could be several other factors why you can't see/trigger a freighter warp-in rescue battle, such as:

  • Haven't completed Ghosts in the Machine main storyline mission yet;
  • Space combat must not be set to none in your difficulty settings.
  • You must warp to an inhabited system - systems that have a race icon in the galaxy map

Known bug: Multiplayer is known to cause problems during freighter farming, it is advised to disable multiplayer during the process.

For a detailed guide on freighters, type !faq-freighters in ⁠#bot-spam.

<:atlasnmscord:1269532093076078658> Unlocking the 16 Portal Glyphs

Glyphs are always unlocked in the same order. Completing the main storyline is the easiest and most hassle-free way to do so, but the player may also obtain glyphs from Traveler graves.

A) Through the main storyline mission named The Purge: perform 16 warps in any direction, to any system (despite what the quest objective says). Wait for the game to register the last warp, then warp out again. Type !faq-artemispath in #bot-spam for a list of missions.

B) Find Travelers in inhabited star systems, and for 100 nanites, ask them where they came from.
This will add a HUD marker to a grave location on one of the planets in the system: follow it and interact with the grave to obtain the next glyph. Please note that if multiple travelers are found in the same location/system, it won't be possible to get markers for all their graves in one go, you need to get one grave at a time.

C) Through the Eliminate Hazardous Flora Nexus mission. It is strongly recommended to do this with multiplayer disabled. As part of the mission, the player is led to a grave. Once located, do not interact with it but instead build and claim a base computer near by, then return to the Space Anomaly by reloading restore point or using on-foot quick menu shortcut (if available). Nexus missions refresh every 10 minutes, so if the mission is still available (or another of the same type has been added with the last refresh), the process can be repeated again. Once done with finding graves, they can easily be reached through any teleporter.

Game mode explained:

Expeditions are an alternate time-limited, season-like game mode with a set of challenges rewarding exclusive items that can be claimed in any and all of your saves, in any game mode account-wide.

Info To get past expedition rewards, you must wait for possible future expedition re-runs (see past expeditions) or possible future Twitch Twitch Drops campaigns featuring old expedition rewards (see past campaigns). You may also obtain certain rewards via other unconventional means, including ship trading or using a "service bot" in the Creative Hub Discord. Additionally, PC players (Steam GOG GamePass) can get past rewards via save editing or #nms-modding.

Q: Do I really have to travel to the center of the galaxy?

A: Despite what its objective says, no. The Purge simply requires the player to warp 16 times in any direction, to any system.
Each warp teaches 1 portal glyph, if the player hasn't learned any yet. Please wait for the mission to acknowledge progress before warping out again.

-# ❗ Warning: After the 16th warp, mission will mark a Portal. To prevent damage to installed technologies during this next part, before going through the portal player should:
-# - Store installed exosuit tech and upgrade modules;
-# - Do the same for current ship and multi-tool, or change to a ship/multi-tool player doesn't care about.

-# pointdownto view info below, enable embedsexternallink

<:AtlasNmscord:1269532093076078658> The Atlas Path

The Atlas Path objective is to visit Atlas Stations and learn the 10 Atlas Seed blueprints. Once a blueprint has been learned, the mission will task you with progressing on to the next Atlas Station.

To unlock all the blueprints, you must have reached Magellan rank by completing 50 Journey Milestones. Check your milestone progress and rank in your Catalog & Guide.

info The Atlas Path can be progressed in tandem with the main story mission titled The Purge. Type !faq-artemispath in #bot-spam for more details.

Craft the last seed, Heart of the Sun, after unlocking it. For a list of resources you'll need, see image »

Depending on the choice made at the 11th (final) Atlas Station, you will either learn the Star Seed or the Mark of the Denier exosuit technology blueprint. An endless mission titled Atlas Eternal will then be available, rewarding 1 Atlas word, and approximately 600 nanites with each additional interaction.

Known issues:

  • Leaving the final Atlas Interface system to get resources for crafting Heart of the Sun can lead to bugs. We strongly recommend that you craft Heart of the Sun before entering the last Atlas station.
  • You may end up with two Atlas Eternal missions in your Log if you unlocked Mark of the Denier.

• If you don't find one in the first system, travel to another Vy'keen system and repeat.

Worlds Part 2 Content

How to get started...

📖 Warning: Purple systems are end-game content so you must finish certain quests before you can access them.

  1. Complete the Artemis Path (the main story of the game).
    -# > !faq-artemispath in #bot-spam shows the steps.
  2. Atlas Eternal must show in your mission log, once Atlas Path is completed.
  3. Find a Harmonic Camp and release the multi-tool seal.
    -# > !faq-interceptor in #bot-spam shows how to find them.
  4. Warp to trigger: They Who Returned and complete the Autophage missions.
    -# > !faq-echoes in #bot-spam for more info.
  5. Return to space, aim towards empty space, and engage Pulse Drive, disengage when you see the quest's Space Encounter.
  6. New Mission: In Stellar Multitudes.

🛑 Warning: Do not leave the Atlas Station system you'll go to in the quest without visiting its space station or claiming a base computer on one of its planets.

  1. Finish the mission to reveal all purple systems on the galaxy map.
    !faq-starcolor in #bot-spam for more info.

info These are the known steps as of update 5.5 Worlds Pt II (<t:1738163940:D>) and are subject to change.

<:AtlasNmscord:1269532093076078658> Spectral Classifications

In the Galaxy Map, below the star system name, you can find the spectral class letter:

• F & G = Yellow (copper/activated copper)
• K & M = Red (cadmium/activated cadmium)
• E = Green (emeril/activated emeril)
• B & O = Blue (indium/activated indium)
• X & Y = Purple (quartzite/activated quartzite)

info Colour blind filters are available in Options > General Options > Galaxy Map Colour Filter.

Regular starships and freighters require hyperdrive tech upgrades to be able to reach RGBP systems. An Atlantid Drive (Starship) or Resonance Matrix (Freighter) will cover all systems; there is no need for the previous drives to be installed other than a boost to range (most notable for the Freighter). Living ships only share the Atlantid Drive requirement to reach purple systems.

❗ To reach purple systems, completion of the 'In Stellar Multitudes' mission is required. Obtaining the required drives in any other way, will not work (unless current save is an Expedition17 converted save) .

Note: There's no information in game files that proves the host star temperature and oddities have any influence at all on system planet biome probability chances.

📖 Did you know? A star system may have only its stellar metal, its activated version or both.

!Faq-Likholu

river micaBOT
#

-# pointdownto view info below, enable embedsexternallink

🚫 **What is Likholu**?

Likholu is a hidden star system within the radius of ~3000 light-years around the core of Euclid. Although it is not available through normal means, players have been able to visit these systems through bugs/glitches, mods, save editing, or other tools (see #nms-modding). Being that it's the very first hidden star system, referred to as a "phantom star," in the starting galaxy (Euclid), it logically became a target once these hidden systems were first discovered in 2016. This likely also resulted in becoming a known system for the many issues it has accumulated over the years.

⚠️ Be aware, we advise you, DO NOT attempt to visit this system. It's caused so many problems reported by the community, that it is strongly discouraged to pay a visit by any means. Some of the reported issues include becoming trapped, having freighter bases wiped when summoned there, and complex save-file corruption. If you insist on visiting it, do so at your own risk. ❗ If you're on PC, PS4 or have access to Game Pass Ultimate, you can and should back up your save file(s) before that -- run !Faq-SaveFiles in #bot-spam or get more details in #nms-questions. You have been warned. There are reasons why Hello Games prevents players from finding themselves in this system by accident.

AtlasNmscord Beginner Tips

sp
Settings

If this is your first time playing No Man's Sky:

• There are multiple game modes available, with different difficulty presets. Creative, Relaxed, Normal and Survival game mode saves can all play with each other, while Permadeath and Expedition game modes are separate.

• Go to Options > Network, and disable ability of other players to damage you, edit your bases, or edit your base terrain (discourages griefers). See multiplayer visual guide ».

• Excluding content designed with multiplayer in mind, progress isn't shared between players. It is in fact recommended to play the main (tutorial) missions with multiplayer disabled to prevent issues, at least until you unlock access to the Space Anomaly.

• If you are on PC and want to use the Plasma or Geo Cannon weapons, you might want to re-map secondary fire bind to be anything but RMB, since RMB is also hard-coded to "exit menu."
gdiv
happygek General Tips

• Save often: update your Restore Point by exiting the starship, claiming a Base Computer, interacting with a Save Point/Save Beacon, or the waypoint machines you find at some Points of Interest (POIs).
• Sentinels are like police in NMS: they don't like it when you destroy, mine or harvest rocks or plants from a planet. When they're watching, stop or move away from them to resume harvesting resources. Avoid entering your ship with an active Sentinel Alert Level: sentinel ships are more difficult to evade than planet sentinels. For tips on how to evade sentinels, take a look at this post.

• The Space Anomaly NPCs and terminals are the single biggest source to learn technology or base part blueprints.

• To easily return to a system or planet you like, place and claim a base computer and name it something you will remember.

• Storage upgrades can be applied to exosuit, ships, multi-tools and freighter. To apply a storage upgrade to a different inventory, switch inventory by pressing Q or E (dpad left or right), then apply the storage upgrade. Storage upgrades can be purchased with units, but also obtained from other sources like scrapping ships or mission board rewards.

• Discovering and registering the complete list of fauna on a planet (at once) will reward nanites - 250 per fauna.

Info For more inventory management tips, See this post ».
gdiv
NormalMode Missions

It's strongly recommended to play the entire main storyline, Artemis Path, and the Atlas Path. Playing all the "important" quests (Artemis path, The Atlas Path, The Space Anomaly, the Base Computer Quest, and Expanding the Base quests) will:
• Introduce you to many of the game's mechanics.

• Teach you unique tech and abilities you can't get anywhere else.

• Give you a lot of free tech you'd have to buy at the Space Anomaly otherwise.

Info The active mission will switch between available missions in the Logs. It can be well timed or random. You need to reselect the desired mission in the Log menu to continue.

<:info:850810445577453658> How to easily spawn Sentinel Freighter

Note: This only works in non-outlaw systems.

  • Save+reload first.
  • Repeatedly shoot the space station till wanted level 4
  • Then pulse boost away from the station to lure sentinel ships away from it (we do so to avoid the infinite sentinel ship spawn behavior, we can't get to level 5 by just shooting the station alone)
  • Destroy sentinel ships till wanted level goes up to 5, just wait for sentinel freighter to spawn.

(How to destroy it: fly inside the shields, shoot both shield generators on both sides, then just shoot it pretty much anywhere till it blows up.)

-# pointdownto view info below, enable embedsexternallink

<:AtlasNmscord:1269532093076078658> **Organic (Living) Frigates**

AlertRed You can not recruit a living frigate if your fleet already has 30 frigates.
You can only recruit a living frigate once per system.

With Dream Aerial (Required for your first)

To obtain your first organic frigate, send out fleet expeditions until you receive a blueprint for the Dream Aerial. Craft the Dream Aerial (1 Solar Mirror and 3 Living Glass) and pulse drive in space with your ship. You will get an encounter with an organic frigate that asks many questions to determine the stats of the frigate. After you finish the questions, claim the living frigate.

Info Using the Dream Aerial randomizes class, which is otherwise fixed per system. The Dream Aerial is only used this first time, don't hold on to it: delete it or give it to another player that needs one.
gdiv
With Anomaly Detectors

After acquiring your first organic frigate, you may now use Anomaly Detectors to acquire more. These are rare drops from blowing up asteroids.

Activate pulse drive (as stated above, use an Anomaly detector before doing so). Keep your pulse drive fueled as this may take some time depending on the system. While pulsing you may see alerts for rare objects or traders, ignore them. The Anomaly detector will be consumed if you exit pulse. Continue pulsing until you receive a Whalesong signal to discover a living frigate with these price ranges:

C-Class: 7,500,000 - 12,500,000 units.
B-Class: 15,000,000 - 25,000,000 units.
A-Class: 26,250,000 - 43,750,000 units.
S-Class: 37,500,000 - 62,500,000 units.

Info Known Issues:

  • If you have a void egg in any of your inventories, its space encounter will keep spamming you, and can prevent you from getting the Whalesong signal encounter. To workaround this bug, retrieve the egg and store it in your suit, then go to space, pulse until hailed by the alien mothership, and select Hatch on the dialog. Ignore the Starbirth mission marker, you can now select any different mission, and return to using anomaly detectors.
  • If you begin to notice any odd graphical glitches, stop and pulse in the opposite direction.
    gdiv
    Additional Info
    Feeding food to an organic frigate (freighter fleet management terminal > click on an organic frigate), will change its stats. Anything you feed a specific frigate should always reproduce that same result.
    For example:
    Feeding your frigate item A yields one result. Feeding it item B yields another. If you feed it item A again, it will be the same result you got the first time you fed it item A.

<:AtlasNmscord:1269532093076078658> The Atlas Path

The Atlas Path objective is to visit Atlas Stations and learn the 10 Atlas Seed blueprints. Once a blueprint has been learned, the mission will task you with progressing on to the next Atlas Station.

To unlock all the blueprints, you must have reached Magellan rank by completing 50 Journey Milestones. Check your milestone progress and rank in your Catalog & Guide.

info The Atlas Path can be progressed in tandem with the main story mission titled The Purge. Type !faq-artemispath in #bot-spam for more details.

Craft the last seed, Heart of the Sun, after unlocking it. For a list of resources you'll need, see image »

Depending on the choice made at the 11th (final) Atlas Station, you will either learn the Star Seed or the Mark of the Denier exosuit technology blueprint. An endless mission titled Atlas Eternal will then be available, rewarding 1 Atlas word, and approximately 600 nanites with each additional interaction.

Known issues:

  • Leaving the final Atlas Interface system to get resources for crafting Heart of the Sun can lead to bugs. We strongly recommend that you craft Heart of the Sun before entering the last Atlas station.
  • You may end up with two Atlas Eternal missions in your Log if you unlocked Mark of the Denier.

#

-# pointdownto view info below, enable embedsexternallink

<:atlasnmscord:1269532093076078658> Unlocking the 16 Portal Glyphs

Glyphs are always unlocked in the same order. Completing the main storyline is the easiest and most hassle-free way to do so, but the player may also obtain glyphs from Traveler graves.

A) Through the main storyline mission named The Purge: perform 16 warps in any direction, to any system (despite what the quest objective says). Wait for the game to register the last warp, then warp out again. Type !faq-artemispath in #bot-spam for a list of missions.

B) Find Travelers in inhabited star systems, and for 100 nanites, ask them where they came from.
This will add a HUD marker to a grave location on one of the planets in the system: follow it and interact with the grave to obtain the next glyph. Please note that if multiple travelers are found in the same location/system, it won't be possible to get markers for all their graves in one go, you need to get one grave at a time.

C) Through the Eliminate Hazardous Flora Nexus mission. It is strongly recommended to do this with multiplayer disabled. As part of the mission, the player is led to a grave. Once located, do not interact with it but instead build and claim a base computer near by, then return to the Space Anomaly by reloading restore point or using on-foot quick menu shortcut (if available). Nexus missions refresh every 10 minutes, so if the mission is still available (or another of the same type has been added with the last refresh), the process can be repeated again. Once done with finding graves, they can easily be reached through any teleporter.

-# pointdownto view info below, enable embedsexternallink

🚫 **What is Likholu**?

Likholu is a hidden star system within the radius of ~3000 light-years around the core of Euclid. Although it is not available through normal means, players have been able to visit these systems through bugs/glitches, mods, save editing, or other tools (see #nms-modding). Being that it's the very first hidden star system, referred to as a "phantom star," in the starting galaxy (Euclid), it logically became a target once these hidden systems were first discovered in 2016. This likely also resulted in becoming a known system for the many issues it has accumulated over the years.

⚠️ Be aware, we advise you, DO NOT attempt to visit this system. It's caused so many problems reported by the community, that it is strongly discouraged to pay a visit by any means. Some of the reported issues include becoming trapped, having freighter bases wiped when summoned there, and complex save-file corruption. If you insist on visiting it, do so at your own risk. ❗ If you're on PC, PS4 or have access to Game Pass Ultimate, you can and should back up your save file(s) before that -- run !Faq-SaveFiles in #bot-spam or get more details in #nms-questions. You have been warned. There are reasons why Hello Games prevents players from finding themselves in this system by accident.

-# pointdownto view info below, enable embedsexternallink

<:AtlasNmscord:1269532093076078658> **Organic (Living) Frigates**

AlertRed You can not recruit a living frigate if your fleet already has 30 frigates.
You can only recruit a living frigate once per system.

With Dream Aerial (Required for your first)

To obtain your first organic frigate, send out fleet expeditions until you receive a blueprint for the Dream Aerial. Craft the Dream Aerial (1 Solar Mirror and 3 Living Glass) and pulse drive in space with your ship. You will get an encounter with an organic frigate that asks many questions to determine the stats of the frigate. After you finish the questions, claim the living frigate.

Info Using the Dream Aerial randomizes class, which is otherwise fixed per system. The Dream Aerial is only used this first time, don't hold on to it: delete it or give it to another player that needs one.
gdiv
With Anomaly Detectors

After acquiring your first organic frigate, you may now use Anomaly Detectors to acquire more. These are rare drops from blowing up asteroids.

Activate pulse drive (as stated above, use an Anomaly detector before doing so). Keep your pulse drive fueled as this may take some time depending on the system. While pulsing you may see alerts for rare objects or traders, ignore them. The Anomaly detector will be consumed if you exit pulse. Continue pulsing until you receive a Whalesong signal to discover a living frigate with these price ranges:

C-Class: 7,500,000 - 12,500,000 units.
B-Class: 15,000,000 - 25,000,000 units.
A-Class: 26,250,000 - 43,750,000 units.
S-Class: 37,500,000 - 62,500,000 units.

Info Known Issues:

  • If you have a void egg in any of your inventories, its space encounter will keep spamming you, and can prevent you from getting the Whalesong signal encounter. To workaround this bug, retrieve the egg and store it in your suit, then go to space, pulse until hailed by the alien mothership, and select Hatch on the dialog. Ignore the Starbirth mission marker, you can now select any different mission, and return to using anomaly detectors.
  • If you begin to notice any odd graphical glitches, stop and pulse in the opposite direction.
    gdiv
    Additional Info
    Feeding food to an organic frigate (freighter fleet management terminal > click on an organic frigate), will change its stats. Anything you feed a specific frigate should always reproduce that same result.
    For example:
    Feeding your frigate item A yields one result. Feeding it item B yields another. If you feed it item A again, it will be the same result you got the first time you fed it item A.

Game mode explained:

Expeditions are an alternate time-limited, season-like game mode with a set of challenges rewarding exclusive items that can be claimed in any and all of your saves, in any game mode account-wide.

Info To get past expedition rewards, you must wait for possible future expedition re-runs (see past expeditions) or possible future Twitch Twitch Drops campaigns featuring old expedition rewards (see past campaigns). You may also obtain certain rewards via other unconventional means, including ship trading or using a "service bot" in the Creative Hub Discord. Additionally, PC players (Steam GOG GamePass) can get past rewards via save editing or #nms-modding.

<:atlasnmscord:1269532093076078658> **Starship Spawn / Tier Info**

Default System Starship pool

This will always be a total of 21 starships, initially distributed partly depending on the system dominant race (Gek = Hauler, Korvax = Explorer, Vy'keen = Fighter), as follows:

  • 7 Shuttles
  • 7 ships of the dominant race
  • 6 ships of the 2 non-dominant races, 3 ships from each.
  • 1 Exotic

Starship Spawn Probabilities / Solar Override

From the default system pool, one or more ships are then replaced by Solar ship(s), using the override probabilities for 'Normal' as well as 'Outlaw' systems, shown in the image below:
Image - Ship Spawn Probabilities (simple) »
Image - Ship Spawn Probabilities (advanced) »

Note: There may be additional different 'Pirate' ships in a system when a Raid is initiated.

Starship Tier Info

NPC Starships will spawn, seeded with a variety of Technology, Supercharged (Boost) and Cargo slots, as well as a range of base stats depending on their Spawn Size, and Class, according to the below charts:
Image - Starship Max Slots Info »
Image - Starship In Depth Tier Info »

Note: The Base Launch Cost values are higher in Survival and Permadeath gamemodes.

Additional Starship Facts

You can currently own:

  • 12 starships:
    • Max. 6 visible in the Freighter Hangar, where you can change the ships on the pads, using the Quick Menu (summon).
  • 1 Freighter
  • 30 Frigates
  • 4 Squadron members:
    Slots can be unlocked on the Freighter at the Bridge terminal.
    Non-living ships and freighters require hyperdrive tech upgrades to be able to reach RGB systems. An Indium Drive (Starship) or Temporal Warp Computer (Freighter) will cover all systems, no need for the previous drives to be installed other than a boost to range -- most notable for the Freighter.

Quality of Life: Summoning exocrafts via on foot Quick Menu

  • Requirement: At one of your bases, build all the exocraft geobays you want to have for later use. They can't be built on the freighter base, other than that pick any base you like.

Then, in the future, when on any planet in the universe, the actual summoning part is done using one of these methods:

a) Build the portable Exocraft Summoning Station on the current planet, use on foot quick menu to summon desired exocraft(s), delete Exocraft Summoning Station.

b) Build the Orbital Exocraft Materializer freighter room, summon freighter to current system, use on foot quick menu to summon desired exocraft(s).

c) Install Exocraft Summoning Unit exosuit tech, use on foot quick menu to summon desired exocraft(s). Requires access to purple star systems.

info Damage Potential...

  • Isn't a damage ceiling, or how much damage any of the installed weapons will do either;
  • Is a value calculated by the game using multiple variables, including the damage innate bonus of the MT/ship and the current Tech inventory:
    • On multi-tool, only the strongest weapon system installed is included;
      -# Note: Mining Beam also counts as a weapon.
    • On starship, all installed weapon systems are included.

Summary: To more fairly compare two different MT/Ships, strip them both down to bare techs, ensuring nothing is supercharged.

<:atlasnmscord:1269532093076078658> **Farming Exotic Ships through Freighter Battles** <:exotic:936061996560969788>

-# RedWarning An exotic spawn via these methods is NOT guaranteed on most platforms. It's only been confirmed to work on Steam. Feel free to test it and report back in this thread or via #contact-us.

Initial Setup

-# Info Freighter Battle Requirement: You must have played 3 hours (cumulative), and have done 5 ship warps since the last battle.

Before the battle requirement is met, always exit your ship to update the restore point save slot before ship warping out to another system. Once the requirement is met, continue as follows:

  • If using glyphs, reach the target galaxy and portal to your desired system. Then warp out to a nearby uncharted system, drop and claim a base computer.
    • -# The step above ensures that when the battle triggers in some random system, you can always: 1) reload restore point, 2) teleport to claimed base computer, 3) exit ship once more to update restore point and 4) ship warp out to your target glyphs system nearby.
  • A freighter battle should trigger, and you will fly towards the capital ship. Upon getting close to the freighter, the game informs you how many hostile pirates are present. See example »
    • With 5 pirates, proceed to battle.
    • With 8, the exotic may not spawn, so it is recommended that you try a different system.
  • You may reload the restore point to search for different exotic designs through many systems, until you find a system that only has 5 pirates and the exotic design you want.
  • Once you decide that you want to get the current system's exotic, try either method below.

Method 1

Rescue the NPC freighter and dock with it. You should see the ships heading towards it as well, and the exotic will land shortly thereafter. You can reload restore point and re-warp back into the same system and redo the battle to respawn / re-roll the exotic's stats.

Method 2

-# ⚠️ Use this method only if you're certain you'll have enough units to get the ship, as the exiting ship in the space station will overwrite the restore point save slot, removing the ability to reload to the previous system and redo the battle if you need to for some reason. Exotics go for about 40M units.

  • Toggle through the friendly ships to find which one is the exotic. As in you must visually identify it as seen in this example.
  • Kill the pirate the exotic is focused on. Kill each pirate the exotic is focused on. If the exotic doesn't go after another pirate, follow it to the space station.
  • Once the exotic is close to the station, land in the station. The exotic may fly a couple rounds around the station. Then whenever the exotic flies in, buy it.

To be able to get specific planetary charts from the Station Cartographer, we need nav data. Easily gathered from lootable objects around Space Stations.

Alternative sources:

  • Some Component/Tech Vendor npcs in Minor Settlements/Planetary Archives;
  • Waypoint/windmill save points, often next to buildings, the first time they're interacted with.
  • Ancient Data Structure clusters on some planets;
  • NPC Settlement Tower buildings (once per day, A-class building required);

<:AtlasNmscord:1269532093076078658> **Organic (Living) Frigates**

AlertRed You can not recruit a living frigate if your fleet already has 30 frigates.
You can only recruit a living frigate once per system.

With Dream Aerial (Required for your first)

To obtain your first organic frigate, send out fleet expeditions until you receive a blueprint for the Dream Aerial. Craft the Dream Aerial (1 Solar Mirror and 3 Living Glass) and pulse drive in space with your ship. You will get an encounter with an organic frigate that asks many questions to determine the stats of the frigate. After you finish the questions, claim the living frigate.

Info Using the Dream Aerial randomizes class, which is otherwise fixed per system. The Dream Aerial is only used this first time, don't hold on to it: delete it or give it to another player that needs one.
gdiv
With Anomaly Detectors

After acquiring your first organic frigate, you may now use Anomaly Detectors to acquire more. These are rare drops from blowing up asteroids.

Activate pulse drive (as stated above, use an Anomaly detector before doing so). Keep your pulse drive fueled as this may take some time depending on the system. While pulsing you may see alerts for rare objects or traders, ignore them. The Anomaly detector will be consumed if you exit pulse. Continue pulsing until you receive a Whalesong signal to discover a living frigate with these price ranges:

C-Class: 7,500,000 - 12,500,000 units.
B-Class: 15,000,000 - 25,000,000 units.
A-Class: 26,250,000 - 43,750,000 units.
S-Class: 37,500,000 - 62,500,000 units.

Info Known Issues:

  • If you have a void egg in any of your inventories, its space encounter will keep spamming you, and can prevent you from getting the Whalesong signal encounter. To workaround this bug, retrieve the egg and store it in your suit, then go to space, pulse until hailed by the alien mothership, and select Hatch on the dialog. Ignore the Starbirth mission marker, you can now select any different mission, and return to using anomaly detectors.
  • If you begin to notice any odd graphical glitches, stop and pulse in the opposite direction.
    gdiv
    Additional Info
    Feeding food to an organic frigate (freighter fleet management terminal > click on an organic frigate), will change its stats. Anything you feed a specific frigate should always reproduce that same result.
    For example:
    Feeding your frigate item A yields one result. Feeding it item B yields another. If you feed it item A again, it will be the same result you got the first time you fed it item A.

Quality of Life: Summoning exocrafts via on foot Quick Menu

  • Requirement: At one of your bases, build all the exocraft geobays you want to have for later use. They can't be built on the freighter base, other than that pick any base you like.

Then, in the future, when on any planet in the universe, the actual summoning part is done using one of these methods:

a) Build the portable Exocraft Summoning Station on the current planet, use on foot quick menu to summon desired exocraft(s), delete Exocraft Summoning Station.

b) Build the Orbital Exocraft Materializer freighter room, summon freighter to current system, use on foot quick menu to summon desired exocraft(s).

c) Install Exocraft Summoning Unit exosuit tech, use on foot quick menu to summon desired exocraft(s). Requires access to purple star systems.

<:info:850810445577453658> How to expand the default base boundary

Note: Save+Reload within the base boundary, if expansion is not working.

  1. Open the Build Menu near the Base Computer and select a base part. Make sure you edit the correct base on the part's info panel.
  2. Walk away from the Base Computer until the Build Menu displays the Base Out of Range error (±300u).
  3. Walk back until the error message disappears (inside base boundary).
  4. Aiming towards your goal, place a 'building' part in front of you (each part expands ±50u). Decorations may not work to expand.
  5. Repeat steps 2, 3, and 4 until you reach your goal, or reached maximal distance.
  • Max expansion is ±1000u away from your Base Computer in any direction.
  • A maximal distance of ±2000u can be covered with the base computer dead centre.

Image with text »
Did you know? After expanding, and completing the build, you can delete the parts used for the base boundary expansion.

<:AtlasNmscord:1269532093076078658> **Artemis Path Missions**

The main storyline The Artemis Path is composed of these missions:

  1. Awakenings
  2. Alone Amidst the Stars
  3. Ghosts in the Machine (requires progression in Expanding the Base, a secondary quest)
  4. A Leap in the Dark
  5. The First Traveller
  6. Patterns in Time

<:AtlasNmscord:1269532093076078658> Early Game Inventory Management

What should I keep?
gdiv
It's recommended to keep only items that benefit your survival or are needed for traveling and missions, such as :

Oxygen/Life Support Gel - Used for life support recharging.
Sodium/Sodium Nitrate - Used for recharging base Hazardous Protection.
Copper/Chromatic Metal - Used for many things, Chromatic Metal will be a needed resource throughout the game. Copper is listed here because it refines to Chromatic Metal and you always start in a yellow system with Copper.
Carbon/Condensed Carbon - Used for recharging Mining Beam.
Dihydrogen - Used for Launch Fuel and Life Support Gel, as well as refining recipes.
Silicate Powder - Used for recharging the Terrain Manipulator and you will often have it in your inventory.
Ferrite Dust - Used for many things and will be needed for early game missions.
Ion Batteries - Used for recharging Hazardous Protection Modules.

Info Sell or discard extra stacks (the smaller stacks) of these easily obtained materials, the game will teach you how to find them, and you can also utilize the catalogue for pinning materials that the game will then guide you to.
gdiv
Tritium and Launch Fuel - Used for recharging Pulse Drive and Launch Thrusters. Keep these as recharge materials until you start finding:
Uranium and Pyrite - Used for recharging Launch Thrusters and Pulse Drive. Once you start finding these elements (or can buy them), you should gather them. They are far more efficient for charging.
Salvaged Data - Used for unlocking base parts. Following the [main story line](#nms-questions message) and other quests will unlock many things for free, you will use salvaged data for the building parts you don't unlock this way.

Info You can stop collecting Launch Fuel once you have ample Uranium, but Tritium will be needed later for making Freighter Fuel which is used for frigate expeditions.
gdiv
Once storage space is less of an issue, hanging on to these items is recommended to do. Keep in mind these are more mid game items, so feel free to sell them if inventory slots are at a premium still.

Salvaged Frigate Modules - Used for unlocking freighter tech that upgrade various stats and base parts specific to freighters.
[Starship Storage Augmentations](#nms-questions message) - Used for expanding your starship's inventory capacity.
Cargo Bulkheads - Used for expanding your freighter's inventory capacity.
Multitool Expansion Slots - Used for expanding your multitool's inventory capacity.

Q: Do I really have to travel to the center of the galaxy?

A: Despite what its objective says, no. The Purge simply requires the player to warp 16 times in any direction, to any system.
Each warp teaches 1 portal glyph, if the player hasn't learned any yet. Please wait for the mission to acknowledge progress before warping out again.

-# ❗ Warning: After the 16th warp, mission will mark a Portal. To prevent damage to installed technologies during this next part, before going through the portal player should:

***Accepting and giving gifts to/from other players***

❓ I was in the anomaly and someone gave me a stack of (Starship AI valves, Stasis Devices, Void Eggs...) Should I sell them?

info Maybe! As you progress in the game, the difficulty level drops. The real challenge is getting out of the initial 'hole' of having no inventory space, no income, and no resources. Being gifted valuable materials breaks that dynamic, and for many, can remove a significant portion of satisfying gameplay before they even have a chance to understand that this progression curve exists.

nmsatlas Important note: No Man's Sky is not a competitive game; one player's success has no impact to another's success or enjoyment. As such, this server's official stance on methods some consider 'cheating' - which would include duping, save editing, and mods - are all valid gameplay.

Certainly, players with all sorts of play styles exist, and not everyone has time to put in tens or hundreds of hours into a game. Some would appreciate being gifted valuable items, even after knowing they are artificially skipping potentially satisfying self-accomplishment.

Therefore: It's this author's opinion that the important part of both giving and accepting gifts is ensuring the recipient understands the potential gameplay/accomplishment ramifications. Some players could be best served by disposing of unrequested handouts.

NmsAtlas The First Visit to The Space Anomaly

sp
During your first visit to the Anomaly, there are a few things you have to do, and those steps have to be done in order.

AlertRed Do not do anything else until you do these in order.

Make sure you keep the The Space Anomaly mission selected while you do the following:

  1. Speak with Nada
  2. Speak with Polo
  3. Speak with Helios
  4. Speak with Selene (Exosuit upgrade vendor)
  5. Browse the Construction Research Station
  6. Speak with Nada once more

Note: Even though the mission will tell you to, you do not have to buy anything at either vendor screen.

!faq-maps in #bot-spam will show you where each of these spots are if you get lost.

📚 After this visit, you can summon the Space Anomaly when in space, using your ship quick menu.

atlasnmscord Locating a Portal

  1. Obtain the race relic item to give to a Monolith, [see this post](#nms-questions message);
  2. Locate a Monolith, [see this post](#nms-questions message);
  3. Interact with the same Monolith twice to locate Portal, [see this post](#nms-questions message).

📚 Notes:

  • Portals don't have to be unlocked via any quest.
  • To fully use the portal network, the player must unlock all 16 portal glyphs and purple star systems.
    • Run !faq-portalglyphs and !faq-purplesystems in #bot-spam to learn more.
  • A portal is not the same as a teleporter. (see image externallink)
  • For planets in uncharted systems, obtain the glyph address of that planet via photomode, and portal to it from another system.

<:info:850810445577453658> Restart (mission) Using Nearby Structures

Requirement: playing solo; if you were playing with friends recently, save+reload from main menu after disabling multiplayer.

info When the player current position is 4000 Light Years away from current mission location or more, a button appears in the Log tab that allows to restart the last mission stage. Most commonly used ways to trigger it:

  • Space Anomaly Teleporter (teleport to a Featured base, check Log tab; retry with different base if needed);
  • Warping (e.g. 4 1000LY distance warps in the same direction, but contrary to Current Mission destination in galaxy map);

After getting far away enough, be sure to give the game a few seconds to recalculate distances, then check Log tab.

❔ **Stuck starting the Echoes content?**

Make sure the steps below are completed.

⚠️ Use #bot-spam for FAQ commands below & check #nms-questions for the latest details about the update.

  1. Finish the Artemis Path (main story). Info Run !Faq-ArtemisPath in #bot-spam.
  2. Lift the Seal from a Harmonic Camp. Info Run !Faq-Interceptor in #bot-spam.
  3. Warp to any system -- if that triggers a freighter battle, you must warp again.

❗ This information has been verified as of <t:1694212090:D> (after Update 4.44) & is subject to change.
gdiv
Info With update 4.44, completion of the mission, A Trace of Metal is no longer required. A Settlement used to be needed -- except on Switch, where you'd have to trigger it by warping 25 times.

Finding Rare creatures

  • Ensure that you're looking for the creature in the correct hemisphere and/or day/night, if specified in the Discoveries > Planet > Fauna screen.
  • The game despawns and respawns creatures as you leave and enter/reenter areas of the planet, like a cave or the area around a building. Reloading would accomplish the same thing.
  • Throwing Creature Pellets on the ground helps attracting fauna attention, if they're close enough, even if underground or stuck inside terrain.
  • Underground creatures can often spawn near cave entrances, often big enough to be called open air caves. These large patches of cave terrain can often be found near buildings. See embedded image.
  • Some caves will be too small to ever spawn creatures, so be sure to explore cave systems that have at least a fair ammount of room in them.
  • When searching for Underwater rare fauna, diving into deeper parts of the ocean/lake seems to help.

!Faq-Likholu

river micaBOT
#

-# pointdownto view info below, enable embedsexternallink

🚫 **What is Likholu**?

Likholu is a hidden star system within the radius of ~3000 light-years around the core of Euclid. Although it is not available through normal means, players have been able to visit these systems through bugs/glitches, mods, save editing, or other tools (see #nms-modding). Being that it's the very first hidden star system, referred to as a "phantom star," in the starting galaxy (Euclid), it logically became a target once these hidden systems were first discovered in 2016. This likely also resulted in becoming a known system for the many issues it has accumulated over the years.

⚠️ Be aware, we advise you, DO NOT attempt to visit this system. It's caused so many problems reported by the community, that it is strongly discouraged to pay a visit by any means. Some of the reported issues include becoming trapped, having freighter bases wiped when summoned there, and complex save-file corruption. If you insist on visiting it, do so at your own risk. ❗ If you're on PC, PS4 or have access to Game Pass Ultimate, you can and should back up your save file(s) before that -- run !Faq-SaveFiles in #bot-spam or get more details in #nms-questions. You have been warned. There are reasons why Hello Games prevents players from finding themselves in this system by accident.

  • You must be in an Uncharted system (Red, Blue, Green stars, preferably in Red).
  • After scanning the system either via Freighter or by landing on the planets:
  • Either select the Exploration Guide in your logs to check how many fauna species are on that planet.
  • Or look at the hint at the bottom right hand side of the screen after scanning anything on the planet while exploration guide is selected from the logs.
  • Or look into the Discovery tab to find the total number of creatures.
    The planet must have 4 animal species.

📖 Did you know?

  • Mechafauna can be tamed, ridden, the quadrupeds can be decorated on their chest.
  • Creature Pellets can be used to tame them, but only with Automated Feeders. Direct interaction uses an Ion Battery, and they produce chewy wire instead of organic materials.
  • They lay eggs that can be genetically modified in the Egg Sequencer. A list of items used to change the quadruped colors can be found here #nms-fauna message
  • Walking buildings will spawn 5 alerted sentinels if destroyed, as well as drop a Mineral record that can be analyzed to reward you 30-100 nanites.

Quality of Life: Summoning exocrafts via on foot Quick Menu

  • Requirement: At one of your bases, build all the exocraft geobays you want to have for later use. They can't be built on the freighter base, other than that pick any base you like.

Then, in the future, when on any planet in the universe, the actual summoning part is done using one of these methods:

a) Build the portable Exocraft Summoning Station on the current planet, use on foot quick menu to summon desired exocraft(s), delete Exocraft Summoning Station.

b) Build the Orbital Exocraft Materializer freighter room, summon freighter to current system, use on foot quick menu to summon desired exocraft(s).

c) Install Exocraft Summoning Unit exosuit tech, use on foot quick menu to summon desired exocraft(s). Requires access to purple star systems.

Q: Do I really have to travel to the center of the galaxy?

A: Despite what its objective says, no. The Purge simply requires the player to warp 16 times in any direction, to any system.
Each warp teaches 1 portal glyph, if the player hasn't learned any yet. Please wait for the mission to acknowledge progress before warping out again.

-# ❗ Warning: After the 16th warp, mission will mark a Portal. To prevent damage to installed technologies during this next part, before going through the portal player should:
-# - Store installed exosuit tech and upgrade modules;
-# - Do the same for current ship and multi-tool, or change to a ship/multi-tool player doesn't care about.

<:info:850810445577453658> Restart (mission) Using Nearby Structures

Requirement: playing solo; if you were playing with friends recently, save+reload from main menu after disabling multiplayer.

info When the player current position is 4000 Light Years away from current mission location or more, a button appears in the Log tab that allows to restart the last mission stage. Most commonly used ways to trigger it:

  • Space Anomaly Teleporter (teleport to a Featured base, check Log tab; retry with different base if needed);
  • Warping (e.g. 4 1000LY distance warps in the same direction, but contrary to Current Mission destination in galaxy map);

After getting far away enough, be sure to give the game a few seconds to recalculate distances, then check Log tab.

  2. Locate a Monolith, [see this post](#nms-questions message);
  3. Interact with the same Monolith twice to locate Portal, [see this post](#nms-questions message).

📚 Notes:

  • Portals don't have to be unlocked via any quest.
  • To fully use the portal network, the player must unlock all 16 portal glyphs and purple star systems.
    • Run !faq-portalglyphs and !faq-purplesystems in #bot-spam to learn more.
  • A portal is not the same as a teleporter. (see image externallink)
  • For planets in uncharted systems, obtain the glyph address of that planet via photomode, and portal to it from another system.

<:AtlasNmscord:1269532093076078658> **Derelict Freighter Events**

**Why can't I land on this derelict? Help **
There are two different derelict freighter events in the game.

gdiv Not Boardable, if the derelict...
• is broken into large pieces, like the lower freighter model in this image
• has no landing pads by the bridge
• has shootable cargo pods nearby (it may not)

If there are nearby cargo pods, you may shoot them for materials, which it will trigger pirates.

gdiv Boardable, if the derelict...
• is not broken into major pieces
• has four landing pads located by the bridge
• looks like the top freighter model in this image (colors vary)

You may find it just by pulsing on rare occasions. But if you activate an Emergency Signal Scanner (ESS) in your inventory, you'll ensure one spawns. Once it's detected (see example), exit pulse, land and loot. Be ready with life support recharges, cold protection recharges, and ammo for your weapon of choice.

🚫 **What is Likholu**?

Likholu is a hidden star system within the radius of ~3000 light-years around the core of Euclid. Although it is not available through normal means, players have been able to visit these systems through bugs/glitches, mods, save editing, or other tools (see #nms-modding). Being that it's the very first hidden star system, referred to as a "phantom star," in the starting galaxy (Euclid), it logically became a target once these hidden systems were first discovered in 2016. This likely also resulted in becoming a known system for the many issues it has accumulated over the years.

⚠️ Be aware, we advise you, DO NOT attempt to visit this system. It's caused so many problems reported by the community, that it is strongly discouraged to pay a visit by any means. Some of the reported issues include becoming trapped, having freighter bases wiped when summoned there, and complex save-file corruption. If you insist on visiting it, do so at your own risk. ❗ If you're on PC, PS4 or have access to Game Pass Ultimate, you can and should back up your save file(s) before that -- run !Faq-SaveFiles in #bot-spam or get more details in #nms-questions. You have been warned. There are reasons why Hello Games prevents players from finding themselves in this system by accident.

expedition Expedition Info

Game mode explained:

Expeditions are an alternate time-limited, season-like game mode with a set of challenges rewarding exclusive items that can be claimed in any and all of your saves, in any game mode account-wide.

Info To get past expedition rewards, you must wait for possible future expedition re-runs (see past expeditions) or possible future Twitch Twitch Drops campaigns featuring old expedition rewards (see past campaigns). You may also obtain certain rewards via other unconventional means, including ship trading or using a "service bot" in the Creative Hub Discord. Additionally, PC players (Steam GOG GamePass) can get past rewards via save editing or #nms-modding.

<:AtlasNmscord:1269532093076078658> Spectral Classifications

In the Galaxy Map, below the star system name, you can find the spectral class letter:

• F & G = Yellow (copper/activated copper)
• K & M = Red (cadmium/activated cadmium)
• E = Green (emeril/activated emeril)
• B & O = Blue (indium/activated indium)
• X & Y = Purple (quartzite/activated quartzite)

info Colour blind filters are available in Options > General Options > Galaxy Map Colour Filter.

Regular starships and freighters require hyperdrive tech upgrades to be able to reach RGBP systems. An Atlantid Drive (Starship) or Resonance Matrix (Freighter) will cover all systems; there is no need for the previous drives to be installed other than a boost to range (most notable for the Freighter). Living ships only share the Atlantid Drive requirement to reach purple systems.

❗ To reach purple systems, completion of the 'In Stellar Multitudes' mission is required. Obtaining the required drives in any other way, will not work (unless current save is an Expedition17 converted save) .

Note: There's no information in game files that proves the host star temperature and oddities have any influence at all on system planet biome probability chances.

📖 Did you know? A star system may have only its stellar metal, its activated version or both.

<:info:850810445577453658> Navigating to known latitude+longitude coordinates

Current latitude and longitude coordinates can be seen in several places:

  • On foot, using Analysis Visor;
  • On exocraft, lower left of the HUD;
  • On ship, below 2000u altitude, using cockpit camera

Tips to navigate to coordinates:

  • Compass at top center of the screen provides NSEW icons, they can be used to get to the right coordinates;
  • If current position is still too far away from right coordinates, get in ship, align flight path to reach one of the coordinates, fly straight up to space out of the atmosphere, and keeping that flight path as best as possible, pulse drive around the planet for a couple seconds, as if you were in orbit, then drop back down into atmosphere to recheck current coordinates. With practice, you'll get better at guessing just how much time you'll need to pulse drive for, while initially you'll rely more on short pulse drive trips, rechecking coordinates more often before reaching destination.

Note: Often players will upload a base near the shared location; check local space station teleporter.

Q: Do I really have to travel to the center of the galaxy?

A: Despite what its objective says, no. The Purge simply requires the player to warp 16 times in any direction, to any system.
Each warp teaches 1 portal glyph, if the player hasn't learned any yet. Please wait for the mission to acknowledge progress before warping out again.

-# ❗ Warning: After the 16th warp, mission will mark a Portal. To prevent damage to installed technologies during this next part, before going through the portal player should:
-# - Store installed exosuit tech and upgrade modules;
-# - Do the same for current ship and multi-tool, or change to a ship/multi-tool player doesn't care about.

<:AtlasNmscord:1269532093076078658> **Information on Quicksilver** <:quicksilver:514812470095773696>

Quicksilver is not a microtransaction currency. You can obtain Quicksilver through missions at the Nexus.

Daily Quicksilver Missions
You can complete one 400 Quicksilver mission per day, if you miss one, you will be able to do two the next day, up to three available missions. The secondary reward and type of mission refresh every 10 minutes.

Weekend Missions
Weekend missions run from Friday 6pm UTC until Monday 9am UTC and offer 1,800 Quicksilver. You can only complete this once per week. This mission will be the same type and take place in the same system for everyone. The secondary rewards will still refresh every 10 minutes.

Spending Quicksilver
You can spend Quicksilver at Polo's Quicksilver Synthesis Companion (QSC), also found in the Space Anomaly. While most Quicksilver items are cosmetic, there are exceptions such as: Void Eggs, base building parts, starship trails and figurines for your cockpit. Unless the item is consumable (e.g. fireworks, Void Eggs), all purchased items in the QSC shop are unlocked account-wide, instead of per save.

Info The QSC is also where you redeem Expedition and Twitch rewards some of which cannot be purchased with Quicksilver.

Community Research Milestones
Community Research rewards are unlocked in phases by the community completing any type of Nexus mission, not just Quicksilver missions. When a phase is complete, a new item is unlocked for purchase at the QSC.
All gamemodes and players collectively contribute to the progression of Community Research.

Alternative sources of Quicksilver
You can receive Quicksilver by speaking to Nada periodically during the main storyline and/or through the condensed stellar ice pulse/space encounter.

#bot-spam Commands:
Run !faq-maps for help locating the Nexus and the Quicksilver Synthesis Companion.
Run !tier to see the current progress for Community Research missions.
Run !faq-starbirth to learn more about the Void Egg.

-# pointdownto view info below, enable embedsexternallink

<:AtlasNmscord:1269532093076078658> **Organic (Living) Frigates**

AlertRed You can not recruit a living frigate if your fleet already has 30 frigates.
You can only recruit a living frigate once per system.

With Dream Aerial (Required for your first)

To obtain your first organic frigate, send out fleet expeditions until you receive a blueprint for the Dream Aerial. Craft the Dream Aerial (1 Solar Mirror and 3 Living Glass) and pulse drive in space with your ship. You will get an encounter with an organic frigate that asks many questions to determine the stats of the frigate. After you finish the questions, claim the living frigate.

Info Using the Dream Aerial randomizes class, which is otherwise fixed per system. The Dream Aerial is only used this first time, don't hold on to it: delete it or give it to another player that needs one.
gdiv
With Anomaly Detectors

After acquiring your first organic frigate, you may now use Anomaly Detectors to acquire more. These are rare drops from blowing up asteroids.

Activate pulse drive (as stated above, use an Anomaly detector before doing so). Keep your pulse drive fueled as this may take some time depending on the system. While pulsing you may see alerts for rare objects or traders, ignore them. The Anomaly detector will be consumed if you exit pulse. Continue pulsing until you receive a Whalesong signal to discover a living frigate with these price ranges:

C-Class: 7,500,000 - 12,500,000 units.
B-Class: 15,000,000 - 25,000,000 units.
A-Class: 26,250,000 - 43,750,000 units.
S-Class: 37,500,000 - 62,500,000 units.

Info Known Issues:

  • If you have a void egg in any of your inventories, its space encounter will keep spamming you, and can prevent you from getting the Whalesong signal encounter. To workaround this bug, retrieve the egg and store it in your suit, then go to space, pulse until hailed by the alien mothership, and select Hatch on the dialog. Ignore the Starbirth mission marker, you can now select any different mission, and return to using anomaly detectors.
  • If you begin to notice any odd graphical glitches, stop and pulse in the opposite direction.
    gdiv
    Additional Info
    Feeding food to an organic frigate (freighter fleet management terminal > click on an organic frigate), will change its stats. Anything you feed a specific frigate should always reproduce that same result.
    For example:
    Feeding your frigate item A yields one result. Feeding it item B yields another. If you feed it item A again, it will be the same result you got the first time you fed it item A.

<:info:850810445577453658> Navigating to known latitude+longitude coordinates

Current latitude and longitude coordinates can be seen in several places:

  • On foot, using Analysis Visor;
  • On exocraft, lower left of the HUD;
  • On ship, below 2000u altitude, using cockpit camera

Tips to navigate to coordinates:

  • Compass at top center of the screen provides NSEW icons, they can be used to get to the right coordinates;
  • If current position is still too far away from right coordinates, get in ship, align flight path to reach one of the coordinates, fly straight up to space out of the atmosphere, and keeping that flight path as best as possible, pulse drive around the planet for a couple seconds, as if you were in orbit, then drop back down into atmosphere to recheck current coordinates. With practice, you'll get better at guessing just how much time you'll need to pulse drive for, while initially you'll rely more on short pulse drive trips, rechecking coordinates more often before reaching destination.

Note: Often players will upload a base near the shared location; check local space station teleporter.

Trapped? Can't get out?

  1. Build a chair you can sit on (free place it if you have to), as far out of the area you're stuck in as you can, but within interaction range, and facing outward;
  2. Interact with chair (game will grab character into sitting animation, phasing through otherwise solid objects or surfaces), then try getting up again.

Alt: It's also possible to get unstuck by building a decoration really close to ourselves - its collision can force push player out.

NmsAtlas The First Visit to The Space Anomaly

sp
During your first visit to the Anomaly, there are a few things you have to do, and those steps have to be done in order.

AlertRed Do not do anything else until you do these in order.

Make sure you keep the The Space Anomaly mission selected while you do the following:

  1. Speak with Nada
  2. Speak with Polo
  3. Speak with Helios
  4. Speak with Selene (Exosuit upgrade vendor)
  5. Browse the Construction Research Station
  6. Speak with Nada once more

Note: Even though the mission will tell you to, you do not have to buy anything at either vendor screen.

!faq-maps in #bot-spam will show you where each of these spots are if you get lost.

📚 After this visit, you can summon the Space Anomaly when in space, using your ship quick menu.

***Accepting and giving gifts to/from other players***

❓ I was in the anomaly and someone gave me a stack of (Starship AI valves, Stasis Devices, Void Eggs...) Should I sell them?

info Maybe! As you progress in the game, the difficulty level drops. The real challenge is getting out of the initial 'hole' of having no inventory space, no income, and no resources. Being gifted valuable materials breaks that dynamic, and for many, can remove a significant portion of satisfying gameplay before they even have a chance to understand that this progression curve exists.

nmsatlas Important note: No Man's Sky is not a competitive game; one player's success has no impact to another's success or enjoyment. As such, this server's official stance on methods some consider 'cheating' - which would include duping, save editing, and mods - are all valid gameplay.

Certainly, players with all sorts of play styles exist, and not everyone has time to put in tens or hundreds of hours into a game. Some would appreciate being gifted valuable items, even after knowing they are artificially skipping potentially satisfying self-accomplishment.

Therefore: It's this author's opinion that the important part of both giving and accepting gifts is ensuring the recipient understands the potential gameplay/accomplishment ramifications. Some players could be best served by disposing of unrequested handouts.

Q: Do I really have to travel to the center of the galaxy?

A: Despite what its objective says, no. The Purge simply requires the player to warp 16 times in any direction, to any system.
Each warp teaches 1 portal glyph, if the player hasn't learned any yet. Please wait for the mission to acknowledge progress before warping out again.

-# ❗ Warning: After the 16th warp, mission will mark a Portal. To prevent damage to installed technologies during this next part, before going through the portal player should:
-# - Store installed exosuit tech and upgrade modules;
-# - Do the same for current ship and multi-tool, or change to a ship/multi-tool player doesn't care about.

expedition Expedition Info

Game mode explained:

Expeditions are an alternate time-limited, season-like game mode with a set of challenges rewarding exclusive items that can be claimed in any and all of your saves, in any game mode account-wide.

Info To get past expedition rewards, you must wait for possible future expedition re-runs (see past expeditions) or possible future Twitch Twitch Drops campaigns featuring old expedition rewards (see past campaigns). You may also obtain certain rewards via other unconventional means, including ship trading or using a "service bot" in the Creative Hub Discord. Additionally, PC players (Steam GOG GamePass) can get past rewards via save editing or #nms-modding.

Q: Do I really have to travel to the center of the galaxy?

A: Despite what its objective says, no. The Purge simply requires the player to warp 16 times in any direction, to any system.
Each warp teaches 1 portal glyph, if the player hasn't learned any yet. Please wait for the mission to acknowledge progress before warping out again.

-# ❗ Warning: After the 16th warp, mission will mark a Portal. To prevent damage to installed technologies during this next part, before going through the portal player should:
-# - Store installed exosuit tech and upgrade modules;
-# - Do the same for current ship and multi-tool, or change to a ship/multi-tool player doesn't care about.

  3. Ghosts in the Machine (requires progression in Expanding the Base, a secondary quest)
  4. A Leap in the Dark
  5. The First Traveller
  6. Patterns in Time
  7. 16 / 16
  8. The Purge - 16 warps in any direction. It does not require travelling to the core.

info What should I look for in a first freighter?

It's this author's opinion that for a first freighter, any freighter will do. If you like the one you're looking at, great, but getting a freighter ASAP is more important. Stats don't matter at this point, and for a few reasons:

  • Early on, a character won't have the resources to make full use of a higher class freighter;
  • All freighters have the same base building dimension limits;
    -# Freighter base can be migrated over to a new freighter, when we decide to exchange.
  • Matter Beam freighter tech is a huge QoL feature: provides remote access to freighter core cargo from anywhere in the universe and, when freighter is in the current system, to any storage room built on the freighter base;
    -# Freighter research is unlocked save wide, and we can package installed tech/modules at any time when in our freighters.
  • Fleet expeditions can give some nice loot, and run even when game is turned off;
  • Units won't be a problem later on, when we want to exchange to another freighter.

AtlasNmscord Beginner Tips

sp
Settings

If this is your first time playing No Man's Sky:

• There are multiple game modes available, with different difficulty presets. Creative, Relaxed, Normal and Survival game mode saves can all play with each other, while Permadeath and Expedition game modes are separate.

• Go to Options > Network, and disable ability of other players to damage you, edit your bases, or edit your base terrain (discourages griefers). See multiplayer visual guide ».

• Excluding content designed with multiplayer in mind, progress isn't shared between players. It is in fact recommended to play the main (tutorial) missions with multiplayer disabled to prevent issues, at least until you unlock access to the Space Anomaly.

• If you are on PC and want to use the Plasma or Geo Cannon weapons, you might want to re-map secondary fire bind to be anything but RMB, since RMB is also hard-coded to "exit menu."
gdiv
happygek General Tips

• Save often: update your Restore Point by exiting the starship, claiming a Base Computer, interacting with a Save Point/Save Beacon, or the waypoint machines you find at some Points of Interest (POIs).
• Sentinels are like police in NMS: they don't like it when you destroy, mine or harvest rocks or plants from a planet. When they're watching, stop or move away from them to resume harvesting resources. Avoid entering your ship with an active Sentinel Alert Level: sentinel ships are more difficult to evade than planet sentinels. For tips on how to evade sentinels, take a look at this post.

• The Space Anomaly NPCs and terminals are the single biggest source to learn technology or base part blueprints.

• To easily return to a system or planet you like, place and claim a base computer and name it something you will remember.

• Storage upgrades can be applied to exosuit, ships, multi-tools and freighter. To apply a storage upgrade to a different inventory, switch inventory by pressing Q or E (dpad left or right), then apply the storage upgrade. Storage upgrades can be purchased with units, but also obtained from other sources like scrapping ships or mission board rewards.

• Discovering and registering the complete list of fauna on a planet (at once) will reward nanites - 250 per fauna.

Info For more inventory management tips, See this post ».
gdiv
NormalMode Missions

It's strongly recommended to play the entire main storyline, Artemis Path, and the Atlas Path. Playing all the "important" quests (Artemis path, The Atlas Path, The Space Anomaly, the Base Computer Quest, and Expanding the Base quests) will:
• Introduce you to many of the game's mechanics.

• Teach you unique tech and abilities you can't get anywhere else.

• Give you a lot of free tech you'd have to buy at the Space Anomaly otherwise.

Info The active mission will switch between available missions in the Logs. It can be well timed or random. You need to reselect the desired mission in the Log menu to continue.

<:atlasnmscord:1269532093076078658> **Starship Spawn / Tier Info**

Default System Starship pool

This will always be a total of 21 starships, initially distributed partly depending on the system dominant race (Gek = Hauler, Korvax = Explorer, Vy'keen = Fighter), as follows:

  • 7 Shuttles
  • 7 ships of the dominant race
  • 6 ships of the 2 non-dominant races, 3 ships from each.
  • 1 Exotic

Starship Spawn Probabilities / Solar Override

From the default system pool, one or more ships are then replaced by Solar ship(s), using the override probabilities for 'Normal' as well as 'Outlaw' systems, shown in the image below:
Image - Ship Spawn Probabilities (simple) »
Image - Ship Spawn Probabilities (advanced) »

Note: There may be additional different 'Pirate' ships in a system when a Raid is initiated.

Starship Tier Info

NPC Starships will spawn, seeded with a variety of Technology, Supercharged (Boost) and Cargo slots, as well as a range of base stats depending on their Spawn Size, and Class, according to the below charts:
Image - Starship Max Slots Info »
Image - Starship In Depth Tier Info »

Note: The Base Launch Cost values are higher in Survival and Permadeath gamemodes.

Additional Starship Facts

You can currently own:

  • 12 starships:
    • Max. 6 visible in the Freighter Hangar, where you can change the ships on the pads, using the Quick Menu (summon).
  • 1 Freighter
  • 30 Frigates
  • 4 Squadron members:
    Slots can be unlocked on the Freighter at the Bridge terminal.
    Non-living ships and freighters require hyperdrive tech upgrades to be able to reach RGB systems. An Indium Drive (Starship) or Temporal Warp Computer (Freighter) will cover all systems, no need for the previous drives to be installed other than a boost to range -- most notable for the Freighter.
