river micaBOT
#

-# pointdownto view info below, enable embedsexternallink

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

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;

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

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

With Dream Aerial (Required for your first)

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

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

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

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

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

Info Known Issues:

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

info 3 Star Resources: LeyLines

Leylines are lines of longitude (vertical lines that go from north to south)
that will have [3 star Resources](#nms-questions message) spawns randomly distributed on them.

When looking for spawns try to search by travelling West or East. North or South runs a risk of searching between leylines where no deposits spawn.
If you find a deposit all you have to do is to go straight North or South and you will most likely find more spots.

You can also use NMS Leyline Calculator made by our members, @thin sentinel and @waxen ingot that can help with locating leylines on any planet:

AtlasNmscord Beginner Tips

sp
Settings

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

river micaBOT
#

-# pointdownto view info below, enable embedsexternallink

<: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 »

info 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 Locating a Portal

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

📚 Notes:

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

#

-# pointdownto view info below, enable embedsexternallink

<:atlasnmscord:1269532093076078658> Unlocking the 16 Portal Glyphs

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

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

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

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

Worlds Part 2 Content

How to get started...

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

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

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

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

river micaBOT
#

-# pointdownto view info below, enable embedsexternallink

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

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

With Dream Aerial (Required for your first)

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

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

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

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

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

Info Known Issues:

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

info How to farm X-Class Upgrade Modules classx

sp

  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.

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

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

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

Tips to navigate to coordinates:

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

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

  3. Ghosts in the Machine (requires progression in Expanding the Base, a secondary quest)
  4. A Leap in the Dark
  5. The First Traveller

  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).

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

<:AtlasNmscord:1269532093076078658> The Atlas Path

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

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

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

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

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

Known issues:

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

atlasnmscord Locating a Portal

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

📚 Notes:

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

<: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.

<:AtlasNmscord:1269532093076078658> The Atlas Path

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

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

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

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

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

Known issues:

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

<:info:850810445577453658> Which orb do I pick?
  • This decision will damage everything that's still installed in Exosuit, active Ship and Multi-tool tech inventories (exception: exosuit core techs e.g. Life Support).

  • Each of the 4 orbs represent 1 of 4 galaxy types in the game, and while this decision can't be repeated in the current save, it's easy enough to reach galaxies of other types later.

  • Orb and associated type:

    • Teal/Norm (Euclid, the starter galaxy is Norm, the base weighting for biome spawns)
    • Red/Harsh (More extreme survival planets)
    • Blue/Empty (More dead and weird biome planets)
    • Green/Lush (More lush biome planets)
  • If the player is still in Euclid at this point, then:

    • Teal leads to Hilbert Dimension (2);
    • Red leads to Calypso (3);
    • Blue leads to Budullangr (7);
    • Green leads to Eissentam (10).
  • Space Anomaly teleporter is often an easy way to reach other galaxy types later; it's not uncommon for there to be a Featured Base in Eissentam.

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

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

With Dream Aerial (Required for your first)

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

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

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

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

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

Info Known Issues:

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

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

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

Initial Setup

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

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

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

Method 1

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

Method 2

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

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

-# pointdownto view info below, enable embedsexternallink

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

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

With Dream Aerial (Required for your first)

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

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

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

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

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

Info Known Issues:

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

<:atlasnmscord:1269532093076078658> 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.

info How to farm X-Class Upgrade Modules classx

sp

  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.

<: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.

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).

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

<:AtlasNmscord:1269532093076078658> The Atlas Path

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

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

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

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

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

Known issues:

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

<: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.

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

📚 Notes:

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

  • This decision will damage everything that's still installed in Exosuit, active Ship and Multi-tool tech inventories (exception: exosuit core techs e.g. Life Support).

  • Each of the 4 orbs represent 1 of 4 galaxy types in the game, and while this decision can't be repeated in the current save, it's easy enough to reach galaxies of other types later.

  • Orb and associated type:

    • Teal/Norm (Euclid, the starter galaxy is Norm, the base weighting for biome spawns)
    • Red/Harsh (More extreme survival planets)
    • Blue/Empty (More dead and weird biome planets)
    • Green/Lush (More lush biome planets)
  • If the player is still in Euclid at this point, then:

    • Teal leads to Hilbert Dimension (2);
    • Red leads to Calypso (3);
    • Blue leads to Budullangr (7);
    • Green leads to Eissentam (10).
  • Space Anomaly teleporter is often an easy way to reach other galaxy types later; it's not uncommon for there to be a Featured Base in Eissentam.

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).

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

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

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

info How to farm X-Class Upgrade Modules classx

sp

  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.

<:info:850810445577453658> Which orb do I pick?
  • This decision will damage everything that's still installed in Exosuit, active Ship and Multi-tool tech inventories (exception: exosuit core techs e.g. Life Support).

  • Each of the 4 orbs represent 1 of 4 galaxy types in the game, and while this decision can't be repeated in the current save, it's easy enough to reach galaxies of other types later.

  • Orb and associated type:

    • Teal/Norm (Euclid, the starter galaxy is Norm, the base weighting for biome spawns)
    • Red/Harsh (More extreme survival planets)
    • Blue/Empty (More dead and weird biome planets)
    • Green/Lush (More lush biome planets)
  • If the player is still in Euclid at this point, then:

    • Teal leads to Hilbert Dimension (2);
    • Red leads to Calypso (3);
    • Blue leads to Budullangr (7);
    • Green leads to Eissentam (10).
  • Space Anomaly teleporter is often an easy way to reach other galaxy types later; it's not uncommon for there to be a Featured Base in Eissentam.

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.

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). Info Run !Faq-ArtemisPath in #nms-commands.
  2. Lift the Seal from a Harmonic Camp. Info 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.

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

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

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

Tips to navigate to coordinates:

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

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

<: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).

Info 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 -- Info run !SpoilerTag in #bot-spam for help.
gdiv
📖 Did you know? The Atlas Path and The Purge mission can be completed in tandem.

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

📚 Notes:

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

-# pointdownto view info below, enable embedsexternallink

<:atlasnmscord:1269532093076078658> Unlocking the 16 Portal Glyphs

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

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

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

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

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

<: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).

Info 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 -- Info run !SpoilerTag in #bot-spam for help.

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

-# pointdownto view info below, enable embedsexternallink

<:AtlasNmscord:1269532093076078658> The Atlas Path

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

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

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

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

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

Known issues:

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

expedition Expedition Info

Game mode explained:

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

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

<:AtlasNmscord:1269532093076078658> **Using a Portal**

After finding a Portal, how do I use it?

On one of its sides, there's a terminal - it will pop out of the ground once you approach it. Interacting with it for the first time should prompt you to charge the portal up, and that's done by individually charging up all glyphs in the glyph wheel to 100%.

portal0 portal4 portal8 portalc » Organic: 20 Carbon, 7 Condensed Carbon, or 10 Oxygen per glyph.
portal1 portal5 portal9 portald » Catalytic: 10 Sodium or 4 Sodium Nitrate per glyph.
portal2 portal6 portala portale » Earth: 20 Cobalt, 20 Deuterium, 20 Di-hydrogen, 5 Ionised Cobalt, or 50 Salt per glyph.
portal3 portal7 portalb portalf » Stellar: 20 Copper, 10 Cadmium, 7 Emeril, 5 Indium or 4 Quartzite per glyph.
gdiv
I charged up the portal, but nothing is happening?

Double check all glyphs charge bars. Are one or more not 100% charged? - see example.
gdiv
I fully charged up the portal; now, which option do I choose?

Activate Portal will display the address input screen - Each portal address is made up of 12 glyphs. A Portal can only lead to locations in the same galaxy.
Request Planet Address will provide the current planet's glyph address, though this option is barely used today, due to the glyph address also showing up in photo mode.
gdiv
After selecting Activate Portal, I don't have any glyphs available to input.
You need to learn the 16 glyphs to fully use the portal network -- although, after having learned 1 - 2 glyphs you could go places, just very limited choices.
gdivgdiv
📖 Did you know? The portal you charged up should still be good for a few more trips, even to different destinations. Bookmarking it with a base computer is probably a wise choice.
gdiv
Run [!Faq-PortalGlyphs](#nms-questions message) and [!Faq-Portal](#nms-questions message) in #bot-spam to learn more about glyphs and finding portals.

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

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

Initial Setup

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

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

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

Method 1

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

Method 2

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

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

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

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

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

Method 1

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

Method 2

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

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

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

📚 Notes:

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

!faq-likholu

river micaBOT
#

-# pointdownto view info below, enable embedsexternallink

🚫 **What is Likholu**?

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

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

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).

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

expedition Expedition Info

Game mode explained:

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

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

!faq-arg

What is ARG? It stands for alternate reality game. It's a "game" or series of puzzles that players work on, in and outside the game, to solve as a community. Check pins Pins in #nms-arg-2023 for news on the latest NMS ARG (2023) Part II (*Part I started with Interceptor - v4.2)

!faq-likholu

#

-# pointdownto view info below, enable embedsexternallink

🚫 **What is Likholu**?

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

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

-# pointdownto view info below, enable embedsexternallink

<:AtlasNmscord:1269532093076078658> **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.
gdiv
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.
gdiv
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.
gdiv
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).
gdiv
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+.
gdiv
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.

<: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 »

info 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 »

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.

expedition Expedition Info

Game mode explained:

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

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

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.

alertred 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.

!Faq-Likholu

river micaBOT
#

-# pointdownto view info below, enable embedsexternallink

🚫 **What is Likholu**?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Tips to navigate to coordinates:

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

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

AtlasNmscord Beginner Tips

sp
Settings

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Initial Setup

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

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

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

Method 1

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

Method 2

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

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

atlasnmscord Locating a Portal

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

📚 Notes:

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

<: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.

atlasnmscord Locating a Portal

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

📚 Notes:

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

-# pointdownto view info below, enable embedsexternallink

<:atlasnmscord:1269532093076078658> Unlocking the 16 Portal Glyphs

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

atlasnmscord Locating a Portal

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

📚 Notes:

  • Portals don't have to be unlocked via any quest.
  • To fully use the portal network, the player must unlock all 16 portal glyphs and purple star systems.
