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.

To get past expedition rewards, you must wait for possible future expedition re-runs (see past expeditions) or possible future 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 ( ) can get past rewards via save editing or #nms-modding.

!faq-galaxies

[river mica]

-# to view info below, enable embeds

<:AtlasNmscord:1269532093076078658> **Galaxy Information**

How many galaxies are there in No Man's Sky?

There are 256 galaxies in No Man's Sky.

Euclid is labeled as Galaxy #0 in game files, but often referred to as Galaxy #1 by the community.
Odyalutai is #255 in game files, referred to as #256 by the community.

Players may only access galaxy 255 (Odyalutai) if they join the game of someone, or visit a base in galaxy 255, or save edit to get there.

Players who join the game of someone in galaxy 256 (or any other number outside the range 0-255) will instead see Odyalutai; with stars and planets in identical positions but core colour, procgen names and tech seeds shuffled.

What happens if you warp through the core of galaxy 255?

You return to Euclid, the starting galaxy for all game modes except some expeditions.

I've heard about a galaxy 257 called Yilsrussimil; does it exist?

It's possible to use a save editor to reposition yourself into galaxy 257. However, the galaxy name will be shown as Euclid, Odyalutai, or Yilsrussimil, depending upon where you see it shown in the game. Further, players in Odyalutai using the same coordinates show up in your system, demonstrating it's more of a glitch in the game than a true place; after saving and reloading, you will be shown in Odyalutai, and unable to see the Yilsrussimil name henceforth without using the save editor again. So, galaxy 257 does not exist; if it's anything, it's a display artifact when using the save editor.

What about negative numbered galaxies?
No Man's Sky can generate galaxy names for any number you put into the save file (outside the range 0-255), but you will be in Odyalutai (galaxy 255).

How many regions are in each galaxy, and how many systems per region?

There are approximately 4.27 billion regions per galaxy (4095x4095x255), with regions possibly having as few as 122 star systems and as many as 600+.

What types of galaxies are there, and how do they differ?

Lush, Empty, Normal and Harsh; the galaxy type affects the distribution of planet biomes in yellow systems, and probability of extreme survival planets.

!faq-livingfrigate

[river mica]

-# to view info below, enable embeds

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

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.

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.

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.

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.
  
  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.

!faq-galaxies

[river mica]

-# to view info below, enable embeds

<:AtlasNmscord:1269532093076078658> **Galaxy Information**

How many galaxies are there in No Man's Sky?

There are 256 galaxies in No Man's Sky.

Euclid is labeled as Galaxy #0 in game files, but often referred to as Galaxy #1 by the community.
Odyalutai is #255 in game files, referred to as #256 by the community.

Players may only access galaxy 255 (Odyalutai) if they join the game of someone, or visit a base in galaxy 255, or save edit to get there.

Players who join the game of someone in galaxy 256 (or any other number outside the range 0-255) will instead see Odyalutai; with stars and planets in identical positions but core colour, procgen names and tech seeds shuffled.

What happens if you warp through the core of galaxy 255?

You return to Euclid, the starting galaxy for all game modes except some expeditions.

I've heard about a galaxy 257 called Yilsrussimil; does it exist?

It's possible to use a save editor to reposition yourself into galaxy 257. However, the galaxy name will be shown as Euclid, Odyalutai, or Yilsrussimil, depending upon where you see it shown in the game. Further, players in Odyalutai using the same coordinates show up in your system, demonstrating it's more of a glitch in the game than a true place; after saving and reloading, you will be shown in Odyalutai, and unable to see the Yilsrussimil name henceforth without using the save editor again. So, galaxy 257 does not exist; if it's anything, it's a display artifact when using the save editor.

What about negative numbered galaxies?
No Man's Sky can generate galaxy names for any number you put into the save file (outside the range 0-255), but you will be in Odyalutai (galaxy 255).

How many regions are in each galaxy, and how many systems per region?

There are approximately 4.27 billion regions per galaxy (4095x4095x255), with regions possibly having as few as 122 star systems and as many as 600+.

What types of galaxies are there, and how do they differ?

Lush, Empty, Normal and Harsh; the galaxy type affects the distribution of planet biomes in yellow systems, and probability of extreme survival planets.

!faq-livingfrigate

[river mica]

-# to view info below, enable embeds

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

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.

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.

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.

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

-# 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

-# 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.

@glacial rose Did you mean !Faq-Portal?

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 )
• For planets in uncharted systems, obtain the glyph address of that planet via photomode, and portal to it from another system.

❔ **Stuck starting the Echoes content?**

Make sure the steps below are completed.

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

1. Finish the Artemis Path (main story). Run !Faq-ArtemisPath in #nms-commands.
2. Lift the Seal from a Harmonic Camp. Run !Faq-Interceptor in #nms-commands.
3. Warp to any system via a starship and wait in space for the quest to start. If you triggered a freighter battle when entering the system, warp to another.

❗ This information has been verified as of <t:1694212090:D> (after Update 4.44) & is subject to change.

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.

<: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)

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> **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.

<: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
7. 16 / 16
8. The Purge - 16 warps in any direction. It does not require travelling to the core.
9. New Beginnings - Like the Space Anomaly mission, this will forever remain in your Log tab (even after this quest's completion).

Do not reuse portals found via the storyline to prevent bugs.

❓ For in-depth questions about these missions, ask in #nms-spoilers, or in #nms-questions with spoiler tags -- run !SpoilerTag in #bot-spam for help.

📖 Did you know? The Atlas Path and The Purge mission can be completed in tandem.

[river mica]

-# to view info below, enable embeds

<: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.

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.

Each platform has its own certification / verification procedure that's out of the developer's control.

Beginner Tips

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."

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.

For more inventory management tips, See this post ».

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.

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.

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.

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);

   -# > !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.

7. Finish the mission to reveal all purple systems on the galaxy map.

<: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.

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.

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.

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

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

<: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
7. 16 / 16
8. The Purge - 16 warps in any direction. It does not require travelling to the core.
9. New Beginnings - Like the Space Anomaly mission, this will forever remain in your Log tab (even after this quest's completion).

Do not reuse portals found via the storyline to prevent bugs.

❓ For in-depth questions about these missions, ask in #nms-spoilers, or in #nms-questions with spoiler tags -- run !SpoilerTag in #bot-spam for help.

📖 Did you know? The Atlas Path and The Purge mission can be completed in tandem.

!faq-livingfrigate

[river mica]

-# to view info below, enable embeds

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

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.

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.

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.

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.
  
  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.

<:nmsatlas:972222451801010207> Locating and Claiming Interceptors

Interceptors may only be found and claimed in Dissonant systems. The system cannot be Uncharted, and the planet cannot be a Dead biome or Weird biome.

Locating:

Fighting Waves of Sentinels »

Harmonic Camps »

Nexus Missions »

Other Methods:
Any Nexus Missions or Frigate Combat Expeditions have a chance to reward the Carrier AI Fragment used to find an Interceptor.
Random Space Encounter - when pulsing and then receiving the notification of an encounter, drop out of pulse and use your ship communicator to answer the call. You should be directed to a suitable planet with Interceptors.

Claiming:

Claiming an Interceptor »

Sentinel Pillars will shut down the Corrupted Sentinels and leave the Dissonance Resonators, if needed.

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.

• 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);
• Barrel Fabricator decorations;

How to farm X-Class Upgrade Modules

1. Purchase at least 6 up to 10 X-Class Upgrade Modules for what you wish to get a good 'roll' on.
2. Make a restore point.
3. Install them all, one at a time, keeping note on the exact 'order' as well as 'good' or 'bad' rolls.
4. Reload your restore point.
5. Repeat the same amount of 'installs' as follows:
6. For any of the bad rolls, you instead install any different Upgrade Module (storing an existing to re-install works as well).
7. For any of the good rolls, you install an X-Class Upgrade Module.
8. Once you have (re-)installed the same amount of Upgrade Modules you tested, you create another restore point again.

Note: You can now repeat the above, using any remaining X-Class Upgrade Modules.

Multitool Tech Layout

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.

What should I keep?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

@alpine karma Did you mean !Faq-Portal?

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 )
• For planets in uncharted systems, obtain the glyph address of that planet via photomode, and portal to it from another system.

!Faq-PurpleSystems

[river mica]

-# to view info below, enable embeds

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.

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

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

[river mica]

-# to view info below, enable embeds

❔ **Stuck starting the Echoes content?**

Make sure the steps below are completed.

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

1. Finish the Artemis Path (main story). Run !Faq-ArtemisPath in #nms-commands.
2. Lift the Seal from a Harmonic Camp. Run !Faq-Interceptor in #nms-commands.
3. Warp to any system via a starship and wait in space for the quest to start. If you triggered a freighter battle when entering the system, warp to another.

❗ This information has been verified as of <t:1694212090:D> (after Update 4.44) & is subject to change.

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.

<:AtlasNmscord:1269532093076078658> Early Game Inventory Management

What should I keep?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Multitool Tech Layout

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.

• Current freighter base;
• Frigate Fleet;
• Squadron, if any;
• 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;

• [Acquire a freighter](#nms-questions message) if you don't have one.

• Unlock at least 1 squadron slot in the Fleet Management Terminal on the freighter.

Slots Cost (in Nanites):
1st 800
2nd 3,500
3rd 7,500
4th 10,000

Rank Upgrade Cost (in Nanites)
C > B 1,200
B > A 4,100
A > S 9,500

• Go to an inhabited system. If it is an Outlaw system you cannot recruit from the station and must use another location.

• Talk to an NPC pilot and recruit to your squadron. When recruiting, the class a ship spawned in doesn't matter. Instead, make your recruiting choices based off ship appearance (and pilot appearance, if so desired) as well as pilot class.

All prices are Normal mode and may vary depending on your mode/custom settings.

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.

Note: Additional bot commands mentioned in this post should be run in the #bot-spam channel.

Open your inventory, and hover over the Void Egg: does its item card text description now mention "EUCLID" multiple times?

If it does, you will need the Portal glyphs unlocked (at least the first 12), to be able to progress this next stage of the quest. (related bot command: !faq-portalglyphs)

Once you have them unlocked, find a portal in the Euclid Galaxy. (related bot command: !faq-portal)

Disable multiplayer, then dial the address embedded in this post. (related bot command: !faq-portaluse)

<: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.

❔ **Stuck starting the Echoes content?**

Make sure the steps below are completed.

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

1. Finish the Artemis Path (main story). Run !Faq-ArtemisPath in #nms-commands.
2. Lift the Seal from a Harmonic Camp. Run !Faq-Interceptor in #nms-commands.
3. Warp to any system via a starship and wait in space for the quest to start. If you triggered a freighter battle when entering the system, warp to another.

❗ This information has been verified as of <t:1694212090:D> (after Update 4.44) & is subject to change.

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.

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.

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.

Freighter Upgrade Module (Salvaged Fleet Unit) Drop Sources:

• Blow up Pirate Dreadnought freighters ignoring engines (got glyphs? see <#explorers-archive message>, portal in, warp out, and warp in);
• Blow up NPC freighters in non-outlaw systems;
• Run Derelict Freighter missions and take the fabricate tech option at the engineering room terminal (class is fixed per system).

Notes:

• More info on pirate dreadnought rescue battle events, type !faq-freighters in #bot-spam;
• Blowing up a NPC freighter results in a standing penalty, easy enough to recover from;
• Scrap Dealer NPC in Space Stations sells coordinates, the item needed to start Derelict Freighter missions.

🚫 **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.

[river mica]

-# to view info below, enable embeds

<: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.

!faq-livingfrigate

[river mica]

-# to view info below, enable embeds

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

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.

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.

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.

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.
  
  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> How to get Storm Crystals

Storm Crystals can be obtained from extreme hazard planets. Extreme hazard planets have Activated <Stellar Metal> (e.g. Activated Copper) in their resource list.

Exception: Lush biome planets (Star Bulb on resource list) do not spawn Storm Crystals.

Land, and start looking for the nearest Storm Crystal spawn. They will be scattered across the landscape.

Storm Crystals can only be interacted with and harvested during an extreme storm, but are easy to spot, and the on foot visor can assist as well.

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.

To get past expedition rewards, you must wait for possible future expedition re-runs (see past expeditions) or possible future 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 ( ) can get past rewards via save editing or #nms-modding.

🚫 **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.

❔ **Stuck starting the Echoes content?**

Make sure the steps below are completed.

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

1. Finish the Artemis Path (main story). Run !Faq-ArtemisPath in #nms-commands.
2. Lift the Seal from a Harmonic Camp. Run !Faq-Interceptor in #nms-commands.
3. Warp to any system via a starship and wait in space for the quest to start. If you triggered a freighter battle when entering the system, warp to another.

❗ This information has been verified as of <t:1694212090:D> (after Update 4.44) & is subject to change.

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.

<:AtlasNmscord:1269532093076078658> **Starship Storage Augmentation Drop Rates**

Scrapping a ship at the Starship Outfitting Station in a Space Station (7) has a chance to drop Storage Augmentation modules.

See: Image Drop Chances »

Living Ships can not be scrapped.

Tips

• The amount of storage augmentation modules that drops is fixed to ship class and seed (the looks and name of the ship are also fixed to a ship's seed). It is not affected by how many (usable) slots the ship has.
• Therefore, when buying ships to scrap, buy Exotics, or low inventory A / S class Explorers, Fighters and Solars, as they're less expensive.
• If a ship drops [X] number of storage augmentation modules, obtaining and scrapping more copies of the exact same ship -- in the same system, with the same class, ship name, etc. -- will drop the same [X] number of augments.
• To help you farm augments, keep a log of which ships have a higher augment drop number when scrapped - see example »

<: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
7. 16 / 16
8. The Purge - 16 warps in any direction. It does not require travelling to the core.
9. New Beginnings - Like the Space Anomaly mission, this will forever remain in your Log tab (even after this quest's completion).

Do not reuse portals found via the storyline to prevent bugs.

❓ For in-depth questions about these missions, ask in #nms-spoilers, or in #nms-questions with spoiler tags -- run !SpoilerTag in #bot-spam for help.

📖 Did you know? The Atlas Path and The Purge mission can be completed in tandem.

<:AtlasNmscord:1269532093076078658> Early Game Inventory Management

What should I keep?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

[river mica]

-# to view info below, enable embeds

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

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.

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.

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.

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.
  
  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.

Freighter Upgrade Module (Salvaged Fleet Unit) Drop Sources:

• Blow up Pirate Dreadnought freighters ignoring engines (got glyphs? see <#explorers-archive message>, portal in, warp out, and warp in);
• Blow up NPC freighters in non-outlaw systems;
• Run Derelict Freighter missions and take the fabricate tech option at the engineering room terminal (class is fixed per system).

Notes:

• More info on pirate dreadnought rescue battle events, type !faq-freighters in #bot-spam;
• Blowing up a NPC freighter results in a standing penalty, easy enough to recover from;
• Scrap Dealer NPC in Space Stations sells coordinates, the item needed to start Derelict Freighter missions.

Looks good

Thanks @frail pendant

[frail pendant]

zencq has also added a field called PerfectionComparable, which apparently "uses all qualities of an item type (e.g. UP_HYP*)". not sure what that means exactly

[thin phoenix]

Not a clue either

Maybe for the things that have different names but are the same tech - like the sentinel movement upgrades

Beginner Tips

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."

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.

For more inventory management tips, See this post ».

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.

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.

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 )
• For planets in uncharted systems, obtain the glyph address of that planet via photomode, and portal to it from another system.

<:info:850810445577453658> Obtaining Nav Data

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);
• Barrel Fabricator decorations;

<:info:850810445577453658> What migrates over to a new freighter

• Current freighter base;
• Frigate Fleet;
• Squadron, if any;
• 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;

[river mica]

-# to view info below, enable embeds

<: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.

Run !Faq-Portal and !Faq-PortalUse in #bot-spam to learn more about portals and using them.

@sonic mesa Did you mean !Faq-ArtemisPath?

-# to view info below, enable embeds

<: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
7. 16 / 16
8. The Purge - 16 warps in any direction. It does not require travelling to the core.
9. New Beginnings - Like the Space Anomaly mission, this will forever remain in your Log tab (even after this quest's completion).

Do not reuse portals found via the storyline to prevent bugs.

❓ For in-depth questions about these missions, ask in #nms-spoilers, or in #nms-questions with spoiler tags -- run !SpoilerTag in #bot-spam for help.

📖 Did you know? The Atlas Path and The Purge mission can be completed in tandem.

!faq-livingfrigate

[river mica]

-# to view info below, enable embeds

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

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.

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.

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.

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.
  
  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.

!faq-beginnertips

Beginner Tips

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."

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.

For more inventory management tips, See this post ».

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.

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> **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
7. 16 / 16
8. The Purge - 16 warps in any direction. It does not require travelling to the core.
9. New Beginnings - Like the Space Anomaly mission, this will forever remain in your Log tab (even after this quest's completion).

Do not reuse portals found via the storyline to prevent bugs.

❓ For in-depth questions about these missions, ask in #nms-spoilers, or in #nms-questions with spoiler tags -- run !SpoilerTag in #bot-spam for help.

📖 Did you know? The Atlas Path and The Purge mission can be completed in tandem.

<:nmsatlas:972222451801010207> Locating and Claiming Interceptors

Interceptors may only be found and claimed in Dissonant systems. The system cannot be Uncharted, and the planet cannot be a Dead biome or Weird biome.

Locating:

Fighting Waves of Sentinels »

Harmonic Camps »

Nexus Missions »

Other Methods:
Any Nexus Missions or Frigate Combat Expeditions have a chance to reward the Carrier AI Fragment used to find an Interceptor.
Random Space Encounter - when pulsing and then receiving the notification of an encounter, drop out of pulse and use your ship communicator to answer the call. You should be directed to a suitable planet with Interceptors.

Claiming:

Claiming an Interceptor »

Sentinel Pillars will shut down the Corrupted Sentinels and leave the Dissonance Resonators, if needed.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.
  
  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.

!faq-likholu

[river mica]

-# to view info below, enable embeds

🚫 **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 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.

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.

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.

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.
  
  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> Restart (mission) Using Nearby Structures

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

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.

<: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
7. 16 / 16
8. The Purge - 16 warps in any direction. It does not require travelling to the core.
9. New Beginnings - Like the Space Anomaly mission, this will forever remain in your Log tab (even after this quest's completion).

Do not reuse portals found via the storyline to prevent bugs.

❓ For in-depth questions about these missions, ask in #nms-spoilers, or in #nms-questions with spoiler tags -- run !SpoilerTag in #bot-spam for help.

This is an example of perfect adjacency and supercharged slot arrangement for freighters. Different freighters can have different supercharged slot layouts which can result in varied stats.

Note that bonuses from supercharging always beat adjacency bonuses: You can opt to break the adjacency, when/if your supercharged slots are not adjacent to each other at all.

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.

To get past expedition rewards, you must wait for possible future expedition re-runs (see past expeditions) or possible future 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 ( ) 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.

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

-# 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

-# 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.

❔ **Stuck starting the Echoes content?**

Make sure the steps below are completed.

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

1. Finish the Artemis Path (main story). Run !Faq-ArtemisPath in #nms-commands.
2. Lift the Seal from a Harmonic Camp. Run !Faq-Interceptor in #nms-commands.
3. Warp to any system via a starship and wait in space for the quest to start. If you triggered a freighter battle when entering the system, warp to another.

❗ This information has been verified as of <t:1694212090:D> (after Update 4.44) & is subject to change.

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.

<: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
7. 16 / 16
8. The Purge - 16 warps in any direction. It does not require travelling to the core.
9. New Beginnings - Like the Space Anomaly mission, this will forever remain in your Log tab (even after this quest's completion).

Do not reuse portals found via the storyline to prevent bugs.

❓ For in-depth questions about these missions, ask in #nms-spoilers, or in #nms-questions with spoiler tags -- run !SpoilerTag in #bot-spam for help.

📖 Did you know? The Atlas Path and The Purge mission can be completed in tandem.

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.

<: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.

Any action that brings up a menu, dialogue choice or otherwise halts gameplay. This includes interacting with any terminal, NPC, ruin etc. in any system.

• While in the Galaxy Map.
• While the game is loading a new system (e.g. warping, teleporting, black hole).
• While the game is paused.
• When the game is not the focused window (when Alt + Tabbed away from)
• When the game is closed.

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.

<: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
7. 16 / 16
8. The Purge - 16 warps in any direction. It does not require travelling to the core.
9. New Beginnings - Like the Space Anomaly mission, this will forever remain in your Log tab (even after this quest's completion).

Do not reuse portals found via the storyline to prevent bugs.

❓ For in-depth questions about these missions, ask in #nms-spoilers, or in #nms-questions with spoiler tags -- run !SpoilerTag in #bot-spam for help.

📖 Did you know? The Atlas Path and The Purge mission can be completed in tandem.

<:info:850810445577453658> What migrates over to a new freighter

• Current freighter base;
• Frigate Fleet;
• Squadron, if any;
• 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;

Multitool Tech Layout

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.

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.

<:AtlasNmscord:1269532093076078658> **Starship Storage Augmentation Drop Rates**

Scrapping a ship at the Starship Outfitting Station in a Space Station (7) has a chance to drop Storage Augmentation modules.

See: Image Drop Chances »

Living Ships can not be scrapped.

Tips

• The amount of storage augmentation modules that drops is fixed to ship class and seed (the looks and name of the ship are also fixed to a ship's seed). It is not affected by how many (usable) slots the ship has.
• Therefore, when buying ships to scrap, buy Exotics, or low inventory A / S class Explorers, Fighters and Solars, as they're less expensive.
• If a ship drops [X] number of storage augmentation modules, obtaining and scrapping more copies of the exact same ship -- in the same system, with the same class, ship name, etc. -- will drop the same [X] number of augments.
• To help you farm augments, keep a log of which ships have a higher augment drop number when scrapped - see example »

<: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.

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 mica]

-# to view info below, enable embeds

🚫 **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.

Interceptors may only be found and claimed in Dissonant systems. The system cannot be Uncharted, and the planet cannot be a Dead biome or Weird biome.

Locating:

Fighting Waves of Sentinels »

Harmonic Camps »

Nexus Missions »

Other Methods:
Any Nexus Missions or Frigate Combat Expeditions have a chance to reward the Carrier AI Fragment used to find an Interceptor.
Random Space Encounter - when pulsing and then receiving the notification of an encounter, drop out of pulse and use your ship communicator to answer the call. You should be directed to a suitable planet with Interceptors.

Claiming:

Claiming an Interceptor »

Sentinel Pillars will shut down the Corrupted Sentinels and leave the Dissonance Resonators, if needed.

❔ **Stuck starting the Echoes content?**

Make sure the steps below are completed.

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

1. Finish the Artemis Path (main story). Run !Faq-ArtemisPath in #nms-commands.
2. Lift the Seal from a Harmonic Camp. Run !Faq-Interceptor in #nms-commands.
3. Warp to any system via a starship and wait in space for the quest to start. If you triggered a freighter battle when entering the system, warp to another.

❗ This information has been verified as of <t:1694212090:D> (after Update 4.44) & is subject to change.

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.

Requires Economy Scanner OR Conflict Scanner installed on your active ship. If using a Living ship, the Wormhole Brain. When using the Freighter Galaxy Map, the Interstellar Scanner tech is required.

In the galaxy map, look for systems with a small pirate skull left of the Economy type icon and identified as Black Market, or with Conflict level set to Pirate Controlled.

!faq-livingfrigate

[river mica]

-# to view info below, enable embeds

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

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.

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.

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.

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.
  
  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> **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.

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.
