@covert fog as per request, a picture of the dragon i wanted to tame

[covert fog]

Where is his tail

Is it missing?

Still cute tho

[covert fog]

The toes, so cute 😂😂😂

Tiny baby feet adorable

[minor cloak]

yess

thats why i wanted it

but

sadly

i cant feed it :')

[covert fog]

Suppose you have to live there now

[toxic silo]

maybe someday we'll be able to tame swarms and high fliers

[minor cloak]

they even have their own dragons spire

[toxic silo]

i was very sad that I couldn't feed a swarm of marbles

[split rapids]

i found these thing yesterday... with one of them it's very creepy, but this couple seem quite goofy

[covert fog]

Marbles?

Haha omg yes very goofy 😂😂

Reminds me of dory idk

[toxic silo]

yeah they were like multi-coloured orbs that flew around in a swarm

[elfin plover]

Also kinda had a bit of a moment when I realized No Man's Sky is technically a game with a live service formula and delivery minus all the micro transactions, dlc and all that crap typically seen from those kind of games and that REALLY Threw me for a loop

[covert fog]

A nice i haven't seen those yet

[tribal condor]

hello

[covert fog]

There's no micro transactions in nms?

Buy skins and such? I haven't really looked

[minor cloak]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1365365610493509787/1368089528639815833/image.png?ex=6816f429&is=6815a2a9&hm=f1488ac74d207d15027488c25f232af29f250145eb1974bf23fc19aade1b9890& had to make a base by it just so i can go back to see them

[split rapids]

nope

[toxic silo]

only 'live service' thing i can think of is weekly events for quicksilver, but that's free too

[covert fog]

I'm glad it's not shoved in my face if so

[tribal condor]

No micro transactions here

[covert fog]

That's very strange and rare to see

[toxic silo]

i guess some expedition rewards you can miss out on but eh. still free

[covert fog]

Smart maybe one day you can tame it

[minor cloak]

i will be hoping for it

[elfin plover]

The way the content is delivered fits the definition of live service, i.e constantly updating, online interconnected experience.

But you can also A. Play it offline and B. None of the new content costs money, you just pay price of admission up front.

How the game has managed to make money is beyond me but bravo to the team for pulling it off

[toxic silo]

Literally the definition of good will and word of mouth marketing. Every time there's a major update, they get a HUGE surge of new players

The last one got me to start playing again, and I got three other people to buy the game

[covert fog]

Yea for sure. I think the major factor is that it's not a free game. I'll happily pay for a game that is well made, rather than play a free one with ads shoved in my face

[split rapids]

and they have a small team, so they can sustain themselves with game sales i think

[elfin plover]

I imagine it's probably that and being a small team so making a profit is easier with less overhead

[toxic silo]

Also sony gave them a lot of money to rush the release. I imagine that helped fund development for at least the first few major upates

[covert fog]

Aw nice, I saw they are making a new game very similar to this one. It looked dope

[elfin plover]

But it's incredible to see how they basically pulled off a live service game without any of the live service baggage

[toxic silo]

Pretty much NMS but relegated to a single planet. I'm eager to see what they pull off

[covert fog]

Yea that was what I was thinking. one planet but like all the biomes and such we see in nms, squished into one planet I'd hope 😍

[toxic silo]

I just hope they don't cop out and make the twist near the end "there's a second planet!" or something. at least not right away

[elfin plover]

I think considering how complex their procedural tech is for NMS, cranking the complexity for a single planet is going to be quite interesting

[covert fog]

Why don't you wanna see that? Thinking it would kinda be like nms then?

Too similar

[toxic silo]

More like it'd be really really predictable

[minor cloak]

what is a hiemeal planet???

[covert fog]

Fair

[split rapids]

frozen planet

[toxic silo]

If they wanted to do a twist, make us go UNDERGROUND

[covert fog]

I hope there is no flying, just walking 😆

[toxic silo]

That'd be neat

[covert fog]

Don't make it too easy now

[minor cloak]

ah fair enough

[toxic silo]

Chuggy little airships would be fun

toot toot steamboats in the sky

[covert fog]

Once you have seen everything it's like, now what

[split rapids]

base building ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[elfin plover]

Ooo yes please

[covert fog]

There's a picture I found on Google that list all planets types into categories

I can find it if you want it

[split rapids]

find a place with a nice view, build a base, spend hours looking at the scenery...

[elfin plover]

My hope is the procedural tech puts more focus on detail. Like, give me buildings to explore, ruins to poke around, that would rock

[minor cloak]

nah no worries, i like to figure em out as i go

but thank you

[covert fog]

That's me warping 100 times, instead of playing the game

[toxic silo]

Instead of spaceships I'd be down for drill-tanks and boats

[elfin plover]

If they can pull off a mile wide and a mile deep that would be VERY interesting

[covert fog]

Boat would be nice

[split rapids]

ahem...

[split rapids]

yep that's me

[covert fog]

How many hours you got in this game

[toxic silo]

warp piano sting

[covert fog]

Did you ever find your perfect home?

[toxic silo]

First contact leimotif 3.6k times

[covert fog]

I'm still looking

[steep quarry]

665 according to steam

[covert fog]

I found a decent one but it had flying worms, and it put me off

[split rapids]

yeah i found a few, haven't found a perfect earth-like tho

[mossy parcel]

thatall i have in stock

[minor cloak]

game telling me i cant get flying animals, then wtf is this https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1365365610493509787/1368092519061127318/20BF221.JPG?ex=6816f6f2&is=6815a572&hm=7ffa65c75dd394ae791424697b6d9f6e80607456deed7fa868e10549936ba3fc&

[covert fog]

And big robots stomping around making the ground shake 😒

[toxic silo]

that's a mid-flier

flying animals that land can be fed/tamed

[split rapids]

also in the next 2 hours i'll reach 2k hours played (on Steam)

[elfin plover]

Although I will say No Man's Sky has already impressed me with how dense a lot of the planets are and how much there is going on, that's always been my big thing with these kind of games, I like my worlds to have some depth to them, mile wide but inch deep is pretty boring

[toxic silo]

high fliers that don't land can't 😦

[steep quarry]

that's a low/mid flier that can be tamed, high fliers are the ones that can't

[covert fog]

For real? I heard you can find paradise planet 1 every 40. But I call bluff on that one

[minor cloak]

i know i know, im just salty i cant get my dragon :/

[toxic silo]

Paradise planets can still be cotton candy flavoured and have storms of boiling blood. That's not exactly earthlike

[elfin plover]

Like I already give NMS extra points for plonking a lot of structures around the place and actually letting me go inside most of them instead of them just being set dressing.

[split rapids]

i found a lot of paradise, but most of them have piss sky, poop grass, no trees or ugly terrain

[covert fog]

Yeah still gotta find the right one but I feel they are more rare

Eww😂

[elfin plover]

I love it when games let me go inside the dang buildings

[toxic silo]

let's not get back onto the topic of posting all the piss planets

even though that was really funny

[covert fog]

I just want earth like as well with really green grass 🥺

[toxic silo]

yeah, was gonna say. green grass seems to be really rare

[covert fog]

I'm in the wrong galaxy

[toxic silo]

Not that I'm complaining about my glowing blue grass (ay)

IT'S ALL PISS

[split rapids]

white grass is much rarer

[covert fog]

Haha oh noo

Animals ruin it for me too, like alot

[toxic silo]

When you scan a planet and it looks perfect from space, and even in the atmosphere. But as soon as you land it turns into piss

That's the ATLAS playing a goddamn prank

[covert fog]

Everything has to be perfect, I'll never find it 😔

[covert fog]

But does it stay piss? It doesn't change ever?

[elfin plover]

I guess the thing for me is NMS has, SO FAR managed to make planets with interesting stuff on them which is like, a big deal, there's actual stuff hiding on there, ruins, crashed spaceships, factories left behind, the works. There's stuff to DO.

[toxic silo]

It'll change at night

The planet my brother and my friend have made our main bases is almost perfect. The anomaly is uh.

So almost perfect

You hear a rumbling, and then suddenly gravity is reversed

"It's fine, it's only up."

[split rapids]

sometime you'll find a rare gem

[toxic silo]

hurtling 3000u into the sky

OKAY WHAT ABOUT DOWN?

[covert fog]

Haha I've never seen reversed gravity

[toxic silo]

So just need to deal with that while base building

[covert fog]

Aw that's so nice

[elfin plover]

I found an early paradise planet and it's comfy enough minus the uhhhh 100 Celsius rain storms from time to time and the giant praying mantises that, TO BE FAIR, are docile

[split rapids]

this is my closed earth-like, it has heat storm tho

[covert fog]

That's soooo pretty

[toxic silo]

Heat storm is just a really really good sauna

[elfin plover]

They're infrequent enough to not be much of an issue tbh aha

[split rapids]

here is a poop paradise...

[toxic silo]

Not the shared planet, personal planet

The good stuff

[elfin plover]

Also was kinda shocked that this game is on a custom engine like???

Goddamn

[split rapids]

other planets have their own beauty as well, this is a toxic one:

[toxic silo]

If you want more trivia, while developing that engine Sean listened to his favourite band the entire time. He went to them, asking if he could use one of their songs for the reveal trailer.

They said "we'll do the whole soundtrack"

[split rapids]

well... ignore those flying thing...

[elfin plover]

Sweet lord

[toxic silo]

Toxic is nice, but I'm addicted to frozen

That sky is so BLUE

[elfin plover]

Honestly the engine must be VERY well documented too considering the steady tick of updates and the engine NOT instantly collapsing under the weight of technical debt which is awfully impressive

[split rapids]

you'll love the new glacier type

[toxic silo]

Ohhhhhhhhghghfgbgbn

Ye

[toxic silo]

I want to find a pink/purple and white frozen planet. My purplest planet now is a toxic ocean. the one where I had the perfectly circular island

[elfin plover]

They did a damn good job on that soundtrack too because it fits the atmospheric explory nature of the game very well. A lot of just... Existing and exploring in the moment

[covert fog]

Brown seaweed grass

[toxic silo]

learning the rocket boots and overshooting in low gravity

[elfin plover]

I absolutely like how NMS can let you just... Exist in the world and enjoy exploring. The amount of ways you can tweak the difficulty to your liking is very welcome

[toxic silo]

you haven't played NMS until you've spent 10 minutes in your ship listening to the rain hit the cockpit

[halcyon tide]

poor

[elfin plover]

Just kinda vibing in the zone

[split rapids]

even gas giants has their unique beauty (only some of them tho, most gas giants are eyesores)

[elfin plover]

But yes I appreciate how granular the custom difficulty options are because it means I can engage with the game at my comfort level (i.e turning off life support system junk and just having hazards and health because I don't want too much to worry about I play games to have fun)

[elfin plover]

Woah

Also dear god I appreciate being able to board space stations so much

[split rapids]

here is a desert planet (aka dried up ocean floor...)

[elfin plover]

Also I appreciate NMS for having the guts to just have the possibility of stranding yourself in space because you ran out of fuel for a jump or something and just having to deal with it which is something a certain OTHER game didn't have the guts to do coughstarfieldcough

[covert fog]

Yeah I was scared of that in the beginning

[toxic silo]

You can never be truly stranded luckily

though, regarding space stations, something is introduced in the next tier of progression ||Sometimes there ISN'T a space station in the system. And you can't summon the anomaly. Bring warp cells||

[split rapids]

well i saw someone stranded in an island in the middle of the ocean with no fuel left to take off and have to swim like 10 minutes to reach the land to mine some di-hydrogen

[elfin plover]

Mmm, but the fear of accidentally cooking yourself and having to divert to get back on track is a fun one

As opposed to the game just going "lol no can't do that nerd"

True that. You could literally delete everything in your inventory and reset to ground zero but the Radiant Pillar will still be there

starfield goes "OH GOD WHAT? NO."

[minor cloak]

i hate useless timers with no influence of your own on it

[elfin plover]

Starfield is so afraid of the player screwing up and living with the consequences of pucking themselves back up they just straight up do not let you make the mistake to begin with

Which is kinda lame actually

[split rapids]

well the starbirth is a one-time questline, although i changed my system time to speed it up (don't do that, it can corrupt your save, don't ask me how i know it)

[minor cloak]

which is part of why it flopped so hard

[elfin plover]

Sometimes I want to go "oh, I miscalculated how much warp fuel I have, oops" and have to improvise on the spot

[minor cloak]

i hate those timers way too much to not find a workaround and too late, i already did twice now

[toxic silo]

One of the simplest explanations is comparing the intro section to literally any other bethesda game, even skyrim. It opens with mining. MINING.

[minor cloak]

"we're rich"

[covert fog]

Never seen that, but worst case you can land on a planet and make a portal

[toxic silo]

Oh yeah there are plenty of ways to get out

[elfin plover]

I learned recently that Starfield didn't even have a damn design document which explains why the game feels like a bucket of ideas haphazardly jammed together with wood glue, poorly

[minor cloak]

kinda like tesla trucks

[elfin plover]

Ba bum tish

[toxic silo]

ayyyyyyy because glue

So yeah. Coming back to NMS in the last few weeks has just really reinforced how hard the ball got dropped for starfield

Nada and Polo are cooler than any NPC in starfield

[split rapids]

and a huge developing team doesn't help either, everyone just steps on everyone else foot. Anyway back to NMS before a mod yell at us :p

[elfin plover]

That too lmao

[covert fog]

Why would they yell

[elfin plover]

No design document and a massive dev team sounds like a messsss

[dark ginkgo]

Hello - kzzt - everyone

[covert fog]

Hi

[elfin plover]

Dang it can my steam deck transfer files faster

[acoustic quiver]

...Is it bad luck if you've gone through a pirate dreadnought encounter and rerolled 9 times, and all 10 times it came out as C-class?

[minor cloak]

take the C class, i just warped to 3 different dreadnoughts, in a row

[split rapids]

not yell... more like reminder, i was exaggerating, but this channel is for NMS only, there are other channels for other stuff...

[dark ginkgo]

Higher ranks dreadnoughs are rare

[covert fog]

Oh I see

[minor cloak]

i don't

bruh that was the easiest to get joke lmao

blind fish....

[split rapids]

oh i see.. oh 🤦

[minor cloak]

hahahaha

that was such a softball and it still missed xD

[queen arch]

That would make sense!

[toxic silo]

Soon.

I can't put base computers underwater to chain bases together can I?

Otherwise this is gonna be a real short racetrack

[split rapids]

no, but you can extend your current base to 1000u radius (from the initial 300u radius)

[undone crown]

Hey guys anyone looking for someone to travel with?

[toxic silo]

Good to know. And I can at least make it taller

[acoustic quiver]

11 times now...
Chances of rolling a C-class 11 times in a row in a pirate system, if my math is correct, is 0.85^11 ≈ 0.167
16.7% ... that's one hell of an unlucky streak

[elfin plover]

Ok steam deck file transfer done yayyyy

Time to tweak the nuts off this game to get it working on deck lmao

[toxic silo]

The storm waves go just above the island's landline, so I want to do something f-zero big blue style

[split rapids]

still higher than a 15% for a B, A, or S combine

[elfin plover]

although I do wish NMS let me toggle my lil scan visor thingy on with the f key instead of having to hold it or use a janky autohotkey script to add a toggle lmao

[split rapids]

or let me craft a large amount of items without breaking my keyboard...

[elfin plover]

lmao

but yeah the lack of a toggle option for the visor was uh... strange to me

considering trying to fat finger the F key then hit 1 or 3 to change visors while also potentially fumbling with wasd is uh... it's an operation that's for sure

[acoustic quiver]

...Holy shit, I got an S-class on my 12th attempt, after 11 C-classes in a row

[hybrid sierra]

In terms of making units, which is the best way to get those ? Scanning ? Cooking ? Hauling or hotspots ?

[split rapids]

scanning + cooking

cook food, eat food for buff, scan

[halcyon tide]

one of the most well-known is mining/extracting gold

[dark ginkgo]

Are you talking early mid or late game ?

[acoustic quiver]

Granted, the cargo space leaves a bit to be desired... but I could probably just expand it with bulkheads

[hybrid sierra]

I'm not sure but I'd like to maximize my ship inventory space, I'm on the early game

[halcyon tide]

and remember there's always !faq-units

[hybrid sierra]

I just finished grinding salvaged data and got everything the anomaly has to offer, so it's a good start right?

[halcyon tide]

lots of building parts

[split rapids]

feel like this will be nerfed soon, too broken...

[acoustic quiver]

So it's got 25 cargo slots and 13 tech slots, which isn't a lot I don't think... but there are 2 groups of 2 adjacent SC slots like so:
⏹️ ⏹️ 🔳 🔳
🔳 🔳 ⏹️ ⏹️
Y'all think it's worth it anyway?

[split rapids]

unless you're a minmaxer, every ship you like is worth it

[heady gyro]

The best I’ve found personally (if you have no morals for the peasant npcs) make a base in an outlaw system. Get a settlement in an normal system.

Become space pirate. Raid merchant vessels out the wazoo in the outlaw system. Take illegal goods to outlaw station. Teleport to your settlement. Use settlement teleport to teleport to lawful system space station. Sell illegal goods for massive profits

Then teleport from lawful system space station to your base in outlaw system. And do it all over again

[toxic silo]

wait that's a trick and not what I was supposed to be doing?

[alpine shell]

heck yeah having them that close is awesome

[toxic silo]

...Ohhhh. Am I evil?

[heady gyro]

It’s a trick only because normally you can’t teleport directly from outlaw space station to lawful space station.

[split rapids]

if you sell too much stuff in the trade terminal within a system, it'll crash the whole economy of that system, try selling to npc instead

[heady gyro]

Well yes. Go to space station. Sell illegal goods to whatever chump lands after you. Buy his space ship so he stops existing, recycle his ship for Nanites and ship upgrades.

[split rapids]

lol

[toxic silo]

"Nice wings. I mean. Uh. Nice ship. I'll take care of her."

scrapping noises

[minor cloak]

36....million.....wtf ?

[toxic silo]

chump change

I'm still coming to terms with 500k not actually mattering

[minor cloak]

im barely at 500 man

[hybrid sierra]

Thank you!!

[heady gyro]

Whats even better

[toxic silo]

500 units or 500m

Oh. For scanning?

[minor cloak]

ooooh thats how portals work, thanks for the tip

[naive mist]

Dont wory. U will get there eventualy.

[minor cloak]

500m right now, i could use an extra 36 still

[toxic silo]

we could all use an extra 36

[heady gyro]

If it’s possible. What’s even better I’ve found. And I have done. Outlaw vykeen system.

Lawful good korvax system for settlement. Then you can have good relations with the system you’re selling to.

[split rapids]

yeah nutrient ingestor buff is very broken... the buff multiply with your scanner upgrades, not additive, that seem like a bug to me

[toxic silo]

I keep most of my units as inventory in the freighter rather than on my person. Take stuff out to sell when I need it, instead of accidentally nuke a system's economy

[minor cloak]

excuse moi qui de la fuck is that 687527% ?

[naive mist]

Sentinel scraping ia also broken. Not like units mater in game where u can just turn off costs.

[toxic silo]

I feel like it could be balanced if it was a limited number of scans instead of 10 minutes. Otherwise yeah. Exponential math get too big

[heady gyro]

drops 500 illegal guns in the lap of the poor korvax system.

[hybrid sierra]

Oops, locked my difficulty settings

[naive mist]

But for immersion i would like sentinels to have broken slots.

[toxic silo]

how did you know I'm Gek/VK and negative Korvax :3

[heady gyro]

Reload your save

[split rapids]

too late

[naive mist]

Same

[hybrid sierra]

It's okay I honestly like it this way

[minor cloak]

i feel like theres a reference there somewhere

[toxic silo]

high value / illegal items make things a target. I like to stop for traders while using the pulse engine, and just. Here you go. Now the sentinels want to blow YOU up. Byeeeeee

[minor cloak]

i wish that was an actual interaction xD

[heady gyro]

Because the gek are capitalists, vykeen are Vikings …. Vikeen… hm. And the korvax are nerdy lab rats

[toxic silo]

I'm a terrible person because I'll slip an AI core into an AFK player's inventory, knowing they'll get attacked by pirates when they come back

[minor cloak]

cuz i do pirate way more than playing the actual game

[toxic silo]

The gek are easily manipulated for their money by physical force. So yeah, capitalists

[naive mist]

More like crazy scientists than rats

[minor cloak]

ive done that at the anomaly xD

[toxic silo]

You gotta make sure they're really AFK

So the message goes away and they don't notice

Yeah they'll get attacked by pirates but I also just slipped them 12m

It's a funny haha prank where everyone wins

[heady gyro]

Nah to heck with that. I see someone with the radiant pillar (the starting ship) at the nexus. I drop a stack of runaway mold in their bags

[toxic silo]

fdhgadjahAHhahahaha

Imagine the sound it makes

[heady gyro]

dumps bag of dust into players inventory

[covert fog]

If I got to a new galaxy, can I go back and finish my quests?

[toxic silo]

You can teleport back to bases in previous galaxies

thank. goodness.

[covert fog]

Ah sweet

[heady gyro]

Wasn’t the question?

[alpine shell]

yesh i usually drop AI valves and Tainted metal into new players inventories

[toxic silo]

I'm assuming missions that are specific to euclid systems. I don't know if you can do the location reset in another galaxy

[alpine shell]

some a stack of each inventory expansion

[elfin plover]

honestly I wanna say

[heady gyro]

Does anybody else sit afk on the balcony in the back right corner of the nexus? The empty one that looks out into the skybox

[elfin plover]

I appreciate it so much that not only can I play this game offline

but I can get a DRM free version from GOG

[split rapids]

remember to package your tech and swap ship + multitool that you don't use when you jump to a new galaxy, otherwise it will not be pretty...

[toxic silo]

That'd be me! I popped the 50 ai valves into my freighter and I'm paying it forward with my friends, and every so often booping a new player with a couple

[vapid plaza]

Sometimes, the correct answer intuits the the correct question that wasn't asked.

[heady gyro]

Nah that’s what the radiant pillar is for

[covert fog]

Omgaaad😯

[heady gyro]

42

[covert fog]

It can be turned off in the settings I thought

[alpine shell]

need some repair kits!?

[split rapids]

it needs a lot of repair kits...

[vapid plaza]

Nah. Dude lied. You really think they'd give everyone the answer like that? True answer is 37. If you don't believe me, watch for appearances of the number over the next two weeks.

[alpine shell]

i got lots

[minor cloak]

smollest ship in the game i assume?

[split rapids]

i think

[elfin plover]

but yes I very much appreciate that I can buy the game in a form where I know I'll keep it due to being DRM free and I can still play it if the servers go down. So many games just die if the servers die now but NMS manages to have a lot of online stuff going on while also being fully playable offline or with the servers gonezo

[vapid plaza]

Close enough

[split rapids]

nah i don't need to fix it atm, still got a lot of galaxies to jump to

[covert fog]

It's hard not to change the difficulty settings😂

So tempting....

[split rapids]

it will break everything regardless of settings

[vapid plaza]

You can hit "lock" on them

[covert fog]

Where and what would that do

Lock them permanently?

[vapid plaza]

Prevents you from changing them

forever

[covert fog]

That's scary. Wish I could lock them a month or so lol just in case

[vapid plaza]

But what most people do for core warp is equip a junk tool and a junk ship

[split rapids]

hey show your starter ship some love

[hybrid sierra]

I love r.pillar

[minor cloak]

i dont have it locked but i feel very dirty even thinking about changing it....even tho i literally obliterate any civilian freighter in my way....

[naive mist]

I regret locking it. I would really like to set fishing to autocatch

[elfin plover]

I appreciate that there's an option where I can just teleport stuff to my ship inventory regardless of where I am because that's just outright a nice anti frustration feature for somebody who likes sploring like me

[vapid plaza]

Since only the EQUIPPED tool, ship, and suit (no you can't change your suit, but you can "package" your bits) are damaged by core warp

[alpine shell]

i dont think ive ever even seen the window for changing those settings lol

[toxic silo]

Named mine RPBC1 - The Iteration

Seemed fitting

[split rapids]

options > difficulty

[elfin plover]

I legitimately really appreciate how much the game lets you fine tune the difficulty

[naive mist]

Its a game for chill

[elfin plover]

like so many games just... don't... and for a game like this being able to fine tune it is really really REALLY nice

[alpine shell]

yeah it was made more for the exploration and immersion more so than the combat and multiplayer

[minor cloak]

very noticably so by how clanky combat is if you try to manually aim

[elfin plover]

I do quite enjoy exploring more than anything tbh

[toxic silo]

The new DooM coming out has difficulty and gameplay settings that are so granular you can change the SPEED. You can slow the game down to make it easier or speed it up to make it harder. I really hope stuff like that takes off finally

[elfin plover]

but also after I played Subnautica which lets you just turn off some of the survival systems if you want to I've just had so many games where I wish I could go "begone with yee" to say, some of the survival mechanics so I'm just left with health and a few other things because my brain would explode otherwise

[split rapids]

get a better ship with better maneuverability ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[minor cloak]

but my tiny bubble ship is too precious

[elfin plover]

oh that's VERY nice. Unfortunately I'm not as hyped about the new Doom as I would normally be because it feels like it departs from the combat of Eternal which was PERFECT in my eyes and it's all a bit slower and the like and well, it's just not quite pulling me as much as Eternal and 2016 did. I imagine it will still be fantastic but will probably wait for a sale or gamepass it

[vapid plaza]

I like my tube ships 😄

[heady gyro]

Kinda strange you can’t customize your own shuttle ship

[dark ginkgo]

If your goal is to increase your ship inventory i would suggest increasing your stand with merchants guild as they give free ship inventory upgrades you also can get them from either missions or fleet expansions

[quasi summit]

Frustrating I can't recolor a ship I have had for years

[vapid plaza]

Yeah; there's probably an internal conflict there since solars and shuttles overlap their seeds.

[elfin plover]

honestly I still can't get over how this game uses a custom hecking engine

although considering it uses PSARC files I imagine it's probably based off some kind of Sony tooling (since they initially did bankroll it). Maybe a highly modified fork of PhyreEngine or something? Either way, mad impressive

[heady gyro]

What’s the best way to get freighter bulkheads and freighter upgrade

[heady gyro]

Or the freighter research items whatever they’re called

[vapid plaza]

I'm not sure why you're going off on "the things I love about nms" - you do realize the people who designed and built it don't have anythign to do with this discord right?

[elfin plover]

I do

but I just find it interesting

let me have my autism moment ok geez

[vapid plaza]

derelict freighter events, which can be triggered with a device bought for 5million from creepy uncle under space station staircase.

[heady gyro]

I spy a kiwi

[elfin plover]

Something something I just think it's neat something something

[heady gyro]

Or every week from tree uncle in nexus

[dark ginkgo]

Bulk heads is the same merchants guild offer you some bulk heads and fleet expeditions give them as for upgrades modules you can get a lot by attacking other freighter

[heady gyro]

:) you don’t have to tell me twice. warps to outlaw system

[quasi summit]

Geodes that won't stack.... (frustration)

[minor cloak]

what am i supposed to do with this? https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1365365610493509787/1368111920527183973/2030C61.JPG?ex=68170904&is=6815b784&hm=03273e2fb66d698a9fd2818b9bc5eaedf3e942c080a03ea6b96a02805f759b5c&

[naive mist]

This was the way long time ago. Devs did custom engines tailored for their needs

[covert fog]

Its ok I like it ☺️

[alpine shell]

because there are more than one geode that gives a different material in it

[heady gyro]

Try shooting it. If nothing else most space anomalies are just cool lore stuff

[quasi summit]

both open to ferrite dust

[minor cloak]

shooting it just give me 1 tick dmg

[elfin plover]

oh believe me I know, I was around for when custom engines were the norm. Just when NMS was in development it wasn't anywhere near as common and also the studio was tiny so building an entire custom engine is a hell of a feat

and also not having that engine utterly crush itself to death over 10 years under the mess that is technical debt

[heady gyro]

It’s definitely doing at least 1 damage?

[quasi summit]

Oh wait, that was cobalt... still silly. should be like the crystal fragments

[alpine shell]

there is a chance of that spawning in more than one geode

[minor cloak]

yes

[hybrid sierra]

The mercenaries? I forgot they existed 🤣 thank you so much !

[heady gyro]

Keep firing then cause that means it has depletable health.

[vapid plaza]

Mercantiles, not mercenaries. difffewrent guild 😄

[heady gyro]

If it takes damage. It can be killed

[minor cloak]

gives me 1 tick dmg lol, id just eventually kill myself over about 5 millenia

[heady gyro]

Ohhhhhhhhhh I see what you mean. It’s damaging you with 1 tick

[minor cloak]

correct

[heady gyro]

Meh. Fly into it see what happens. Or fly closer and see if it activates your ships intercom to communicate with you.

Other then that idk. Just fly away

[minor cloak]

yeah it just does nothing

[elfin plover]

just get the hell outta dodge is always a valid tactic I imagine

[mossy parcel]

its because i buy a big new Gekgun

[heady gyro]

presses the exterminatus button

[hybrid sierra]

Wow i thought they were the same as i kept on getting confused with those

Guess I should play more 🤣

[split rapids]

bruh i though this is a mineral deposit that i can mine...

[alpine shell]

yeah not all anomalies give you things if you shoot it or communicate with it. some are just plain old anomalies

[vapid plaza]

Some fight back.

[vocal plinth]

I saw the one like a giant teddy bear and panicked then realised it did nothing 😂

Should I put a weapon in the Supercharged slot, or a Powerful Mod for said weapon?

[minor cloak]

i mean i try it either way and see what gives me more dmg

[errant copper]

So I've got a few giant pets a huge cat thing and a giant bird I mean huge if anyone wants an egg let me know

Also a biological horror I have

[frail iron]

guys

i need radon, nitrogen, and sulphurine

how do

[frail iron]

i’d say put the weapon itself tbh

[quasi summit]

Atmospherric Harvesters. A base structure. Different Biomes have different gasses. Radon, Nitrogen, and Oxygen

[frail iron]

RAHHHHHHH that’ll take foreverrrr

aight we ball

lemme lock in

[quasi summit]

I just drop a small outpost with some harvesters and storage and check back laters.

[covert fog]

name of the game😂

[heady gyro]

Become space pirate. Loot sentinel supply depots and merchant ships. Eventually you’ll get Gases

[frail iron]

wait i know a lotta folks make bases specifically for whatever so do u guys know of any

[molten delta]

👀

[heady gyro]

Define specifically whatever

[quasi summit]

Yeah a tiny outpost. 2 Square structures, some Solar Panels, couple batteries, Portal, landing pad and Harvesters and storage. Thats it

[frail iron]

i’ve seen a whole bunch of bases specifically for copper, gold, whatever. so i was wondering if anyone’s made some for the gases i need

and if you guys know where

[quasi summit]

Lol, I got bases for Gold/silver and the 3 gasses.

[frail iron]

where🙏🙏

[heady gyro]

Space pirate sharkie can get all of that from the merchant fleets.

[frail iron]

guys amazing idea

what if

[viscid trellis]

Maybe make a gas farm yourself?

[frail iron]

we trade

[frail iron]

i don’t have the scrap module things

[quasi summit]

Exploring and finding these places is the charm of the game.

[frail iron]

sigh

[split rapids]

i made some gas farms... somewhere in Euclid... if you can find it, those gas will be yours 🙂

[viscid trellis]

I didnt even upload mine

[molten delta]

same same..me neither...

[quasi summit]

should I upload? What does that even do?

[viscid trellis]

Uploads it to server so anyone can see and use it

[molten delta]

something like this?

although thats a proper base not a tiny outpost

[quasi summit]

Well, yours looks alot nicer.. but yes.

[viscid trellis]

Mines not even that, 4xglass small cubes, 2 solar a battery n teleport

[errant copper]

I always say "Just a modest base" then I get carried away 😂

[viscid trellis]

I'm function over pretty

[errant copper]

Where else am I gonna store my horde of crap I find lol

[quasi summit]

That is where the game becomes a lesson in self control

[minor cloak]

rq how do i find portals ?

the glyph portals

[molten delta]

this is my tiny outpost (mould farmn)
a teleport
a pad
another srt to get to mould
a couple battery and solar panel thats it

[viscid trellis]

Nice trees though

[quasi summit]

got #bot-spam and type ! Faq-Portal

[molten delta]

you can unlock them from qs

[viscid trellis]

I probably have, I have most stuff unlocked

Probably never noticed them

[molten delta]

another tiny outpost
metal fimgers farm (old lighting before wolrds update)

[frail iron]

ok guys i just bought the gas thing

[quasi summit]

Don't forget the Storage thing too

[frail iron]

wait what

damn it

[molten delta]

same base after update
bases arent dark anymore..
gamma is bit igh imo

[frail iron]

guys

is it the gas harvester or the atmosphere harvester

[molten delta]

gas harvestor

[frail iron]

…

[halcyon tide]

-# i was never here oooooh you never saw me type

[molten delta]

gas harvestor

[frail iron]

guys can i use the atmosphere harvester for this instead

[molten delta]

this works endlessly to collect gas
once places on gas hotspot

this is atmosphere harvestor 👇
good but needs fuel to run (limited capacity)
so youre better off with gas one

[frail iron]

the gas one costs 20 things to get to and i already bought the atmosphere one

i only need 250 of each

gas

[quasi summit]

No, no you will likely need MUCH more later.

[molten delta]

then why did you ask
if you bought one already... (-_-)

[quasi summit]

If all you need is small amounts, check every NPC pilot trader.. the sometimes have some.

[frail iron]

weighing if i should spend the time to get the gas one

[frail iron]

yes thank you finally an easy answer

[molten delta]

atmoshphere will stop working once fuel runs out...
gas one will keep on working forever..if you proeide it with enough power

[quasi summit]

Sorry, playing the long game here.

[frail iron]

i just wanna make the cool lookin staff

[quasi summit]

I like the one I got from the Expidition. Skeleton arm holding a Skull

[molten delta]

maybe ask in #nms-lfg-or-trades you might not even need anything to build people have lots of stuff lying idle and maybe someone can join you and just give it to oyu

[frail iron]

i haven’t messed with expiditions yet

[heady gyro]

Sadly I’m a goofball and forgot to copy it before completing the expedition

[quasi summit]

We've all done something like that. It's not just you.

[molten delta]

i ususally just start a new save

[quasi summit]

The other day I brought in the groceries and forgot to repark my car.... ($380 tow fee)

[split rapids]

every. single. time. i look for a specific gas cloud and it's always oxygen 😠

[molten delta]

well my parking skills have improved a lot
look where i park now..

[quasi summit]

Nice planets have oxygen... Harsh planets have the other stuff.. Nitrogen is on Frozen and Nuclear planets , that I know.

[split rapids]

every planet has oxygen, some type of planet has addition type of gas cloud

[frail iron]

guys how do i upload images what the heck it won’t let me

[molten delta]

oxygen is on almost all planets just in different quantity/levels

I can see you have been looking for long time

[split rapids]

AND THERE IS ANOTHER S CLASS GAS CLOUD NEXT TO IT

[icy rivet]

Mmm, S-class methane...

[split rapids]

hmm... i'd build methane gas farm in a deep ocean, it'd be more fitting for an oil rig... but it's so rare to find so screw that idea

[split rapids]

have you found any 2x2 experimental mt yet?

[viscid trellis]

No i gave up, and using a sentinel one, as scan bonus on experimental doesn't improve fauna scan money

So might as well use on any mt with 2x2

[split rapids]

holy i found ANOTHER S class methane right next to that one... the S cluster theory seem real...

[quasi summit]

So now your a scientist?

[split rapids]

more like a mad traveler scambling to find something insane...

[split rapids]

and of course an S class EM to top it off

[quasi summit]

Did you find it?

[vocal plinth]

warping for exotic ship

ending fighting another dreadnought

[split rapids]

quite a lot, actually...

it's always something i found along the way of that insanity...

[vocal plinth]

ok 6m units for tribute not a bad deal

[calm pine]

Kinda impossible tho

[split rapids]

it will shows up in your scanner as "immortal worm", no scan reward tho

[reef salmon]

Guys I'm just saying in a week we gonna get a new update

And if not, wait till next week

[calm pine]

Ye the wait time for one to spawn and to even react to it before it's out of range

[waxen palm]

?

Save on the planet, reload, wait 20 seconds

[covert fog]

so greeeen

[split rapids]

perfect camouflage

[waxen palm]

Only tree in the immediate vicinity and I had to land in it lol

[naive mist]

THIS IS THE LAW!

[split rapids]

wrong channel

[quasi summit]

It's related, no?

[split rapids]

slightly :/

[waxen palm]

On topic and interesting, but not NMS

[split rapids]

I'm a little bit curious... can we post the non-NMS thing in the appropriate channel and link it here?

[waxen palm]

Yes

[quasi summit]

Happy to entertain

[errant copper]

What is that

[split rapids]

two abyssal horrors

[quasi summit]

The new Muppet collab

[heady gyro]

Hear me out.

The anomaly only has so many landing pads.

How’d y’all feel about organizing a pseudo ingame car meet on a lush paradise planet?

[errant copper]

I'm down

[heady gyro]

Cause like… you can’t do much or relax in the anomaly. So I’m going to find a perfect lush paradise planet. Find. Good spot. Send coords. And make a ship meet

[viscid trellis]

I used to like Ricey's ship meets, for whatever reason, he stopped doing them

[heady gyro]

Also seeing as the fact that uh…. I’m working until 730 this morning. And I work evening shift next. Which means I need to stay Aake all off today in order to sleep properly. Might as well find a perfect place to sit and watch the sunset with the community

[split rapids]

it's time for me to do some math to fit all of these hotspots into a base...🤣

[quasi summit]

HEy, Whoa.. I didn't come here for Maths

[errant copper]

I found a perfect planet last night

No sentinel, no harsh weather, no chaos just sun and warm temperature and lots of blue skies

[heady gyro]

Coords pls

[leaden salmon]

Me everytime I access those puzzle terminals inside buildings

[errant copper]

I'll get em once I log back on

I've got the glyphs if they help

[heady gyro]

That’s the coords I mean

What galaxy you in though?

Shouldn't I get some kind of loot after destroying a Pirate Dread? (saved the freighter)

Hello evryone I have a question does anyone now if there will be any update soon that will make the price of NMS go down on Stean ?

[quasi summit]

Summer sale should be coming up

[sour shadow]

okay ! Thanks !

[heady gyro]

I will appear over your world looking like a sentinel interceptor in three hours

[split rapids]

some nanite and some standing iirc, you can go to the dreadnought captain and demand tribute (+6m Unit) or if you destroy the dreadnought without it surrendering, you will get some upgrades for your freighter

Ok Ty

Got it thanks

[minor cloak]

sooo....somehow in an effort to make my butterfly dragon bigger, ive converted the next generation back to a normal butterfly

[heady gyro]

What even was that statement

[golden shale]

Where did that thread go for abandoned mode

wait it mighta been in nms help nvm

[minor cloak]

i have a dragon looking butterfly that ive been trying to make bigger

but the egg i just hatched gave me a completely normal butterfly

it went from having a dragon like tail to just being a butterfly

[errant copper]

I made the mistake of making my Battle cat gigantic 😂

Now I remember why I shouldn't mess with DNA 😂

No that’s what Jurassic park taught us

[dark ginkgo]

Now i want to take a nice picture and make it my banner

[split rapids]

this wasn't here before... did HG add this for abandoned mode?

[dark ginkgo]

The water one is crazy

[heady gyro]

What’s abandoned mode?

[split rapids]

a special game mode in which you are the only one in the universe, no Gek, no Vy'keen, no Korvax, no Autophage, no one to help you

[heady gyro]

No sentinels….? Right?

[split rapids]

nah those will hunt you down till the end of ||ATLAS||

[heady gyro]

Ah so the space military police still hunt me but the literal Viking warrior species will never hunt you

[split rapids]

i haven't played in that mode yet so idk

[vocal plinth]

is so great being stuck on a station when u try takeoff

[waxen palm]

There aren't any NPCs in Abandoned mode (besides an empty Nada)

[vocal plinth]

i found an abandoned station yesterday

[heady gyro]

That makes me sad.

[waxen palm]

Lol, it's abandoned

[heady gyro]

But the anomaly transcends the galaxies.

[waxen palm]

Supposed to be a different vibe, sadness works

Loneliness is what it gave to me

[split rapids]

it was the whole theme for expedition Adrift

[heady gyro]

7 days to die gave me sadness with its environmental story telling

breaks into garage and there’s just. Rope hanging from the ceiling. A sleeping zombie. And a chair

Is nada the only korvax entity on the anomaly?

[waxen palm]

Yes

One Gek, One Korvax

The Vy'keen rep declined the invite

No combat

[heady gyro]

I thought the teleport gate guardian was vykeen

Although he might just be another former traveller

[waxen palm]

Former Traveller

Mercury?

Something like that

[heady gyro]

Yes mercury.

[safe tendon]

I think that in the whole time I spent with NMS I talked to him only once

In steam settings, choose to save to external drive. Then use f12 to capture

[split rapids]

i finally moved to a new gas giant 😄

[quasi summit]

Just switching to f12 made a diff

[waxen palm]

Yep, and saving to external (you just choose a location) will compress less

[tribal condor]

Yo just started the game about 4 hrs ago any tips

Im kinda cooked ngl

[waxen palm]

Follow the mission at the top of your log, serves as a tutorial

[tribal condor]

alralr

thanks

[waxen palm]

No problem

[dark ginkgo]

And don’t believe geks

They will rob you

[tribal condor]

actually

dang

[waxen palm]

Oh, and don't worry about hanging on to resources. Anything at the start that doesn't refuel something of yours - you can sell

[tribal condor]

snd

thanks yall

[dark ginkgo]

Wait wait don’t believe what i said 😂😂

[tribal condor]

alr bro 😭

[split rapids]

it'd be funny if those boulders can squash the players

[dark ginkgo]

Or destroy bases

[tribal condor]

CHAT

i forgot

ts account doesnt have nitro

pmo

The false ban set me back so much

no servers no chats no nitro

Im waiting for appeal to go through

[dark ginkgo]

What did you do 😂

[split rapids]

is there any special interaction with solar panel on gas giant? why does this one not operate at full power?

[sharp raft]

according to that, you have no battteries atttached to it at all. the ratio for solar power is 1 batttery : 2 Solar panels

[split rapids]

i think each solar panel output 50kP at daytime is it not? this one is in the middle of the day and it only output 25kP

[lethal adder]

Also 25kps is morning, evening output

So not sure whats up with it

[sharp raft]

yeah whatt @lethal adder just said. Depending on time of day.

[split rapids]

i'm waiting for a full day now, it's not increasing

Is that a feature? gas giant atmosphere is so thick that the solar panel can not operate at it full capacity?

[long lagoon]

Landed on a planet described as a Terrorsphere and thought to myself, "what's so terrible about it?, it's pretty"......then titan worms start leaping out of the ocean...

[sharp raft]

this is old.. but might still be true. back in the older days it mattered which way a solar panel was facing. I don't think that's true anymore... but might try rotating!

[sharp raft]

ohhh yeah. that would do it!

[safe tendon]

It doesn't matter which direction panel faces, but i would try a different spot on the planet

[lethal adder]

I think planetary position matters, but that might just be rumor

[split rapids]

alright i'll test it in a different gas giant

[safe tendon]

Yeah, there are small spots where panel will give 25kps 24/7

[wraith bough]

sometimes i like to return and check how my red marker is doing...maybe i shouldn't do it anymore

[safe tendon]

But generally, Unless you are at such a spot, it doesn't matter that much

Tho there is a chance of you just landing on it by accident

That's why I said just try a different spot

@split rapids

[split rapids]

i didn't know that... i set up the panel for temporary power, i had an EM hotspot not far away...

but i'll try on a different spot to check it out

[safe tendon]

Just don't build more of them, thanks

[split rapids]

at other location the panel outputs full power, thank you for letting me know

huh... if the solar panel output 25kP 24/7, then on those spot i don't need to build a battery bank... those spot are kinda good actually

[alpine drum]

i just touched a gek and he farted and my reputation went down

You also sound like the kinda person that makes a second steam account for ‘adult visual novels’. Be a man. Put it all on one steam account

[quasi summit]

There is just SO MUCH content.. too much to do. Anxiety paralysis.

[tribal condor]

do people do that

dont have steam

Am on ps

[heady gyro]

-10 aura for you

[tribal condor]

im broke

💔

[heady gyro]

Do you prefer Xbox or ps controller

[quiet snow]

Ive done main and just completed the current expedition

Soooo whats next

[tribal condor]

Depends

ive had both

[heady gyro]

Have you uh….. reset yet? And found the fourth race ?

[tribal condor]

it depends on what game im playing

[quiet snow]

Yes

[heady gyro]

Have you found the fifth race?

[quiet snow]

Huh

[heady gyro]

Im fking with you

[quiet snow]

Oh 😂

That would be nice tbh

[heady gyro]

Technically there are six tho

[quiet snow]

Whos the last 2

[split rapids]

I know why now... i made my base quite close to the south pole of that planet... and the stars are always at the horizon. my mind was blown 🤯

[tawdry musk]

You could find a ruined planet and locate the Ancient Colossus

[heady gyro]

Anomaly, traveller, gek, korvax, vykeen, autophage

[heady gyro]

Is there a shadow of the colossus

[quasi summit]

Well you have 12 ship slots. Can get a massive freighter and 30 frigates around it. A buncha Multitools each decked out with different weapons. And all that stuff needs to be upgraded to S-class. Don't forget to build many bases, and tend your settlement. After you do all that there is cooking crafting and fishing.

[tawdry musk]

Depends on the time of day.

[quiet snow]

I have 3 rn. 1 s class normal one then s class atlantid, then an autophage staff

Its not max tho

For ship, just 1 s class sentinal

[quasi summit]

There is being an explorer, a mercenary, a trader, a builder even a pirate! (as roles you can play)

[quasi summit]

I have a different Aeron

[quiet snow]

Yah theres alot more variety

Pretty cool

[crisp wren]

What's this about Sean dropping a clock emoji?

[quasi summit]

Look up Sean Murray Twitter.. you will see

[crisp wren]

Don't have Twitter anymore

[quasi summit]

I never had Twitter.. but you can still look it up

[jagged heron]

Are the base computer archive missions forever fetch quests? I feel like there is no end in sight. “Go to this base computer and come back”

Solid thanks

[split rapids]

no the base computer quest will end

[jagged heron]

Ok. Now I’m confused

[split rapids]

it will unlock a lot of base building parts for you for free, but it will end

[quasi summit]

But I unlocked all the base stuff from it. and it keeps going.

It just sends me to abandoned buildings for nanites.

[jagged heron]

Yeah that’s where I’m at

[split rapids]

i only have these quest now :/

[jagged heron]

Ok perfect

[quasi summit]

Base Computer Archives and Scientific research never go away, for me.

[jagged heron]

Hashtag samesies

[quasi summit]

I got so tired of the Korvax scientist, that I built his terminal in a mountain and sealed the door.

[sharp raft]

@safe tendon my friend! How is you?

[sharp raft]

ah and thus began the legend of Korvax Mountain. NOW I know where it all started...

[split rapids]

do you still have Base Computer Archives quest ongoing?

[sharp raft]

every so often it leads me to abandoned buildings that yield naniites or upgrades.

[split rapids]

i don't have that quest anymore... i think :/

[safe tendon]

A bit tired, a bit sleepy, but overall keeping it together

[sharp raft]

ah I feel you captain. I feel you! Shark Mitey just finished.. || the purge || closing in on trying to find the || autophage || so I can finally || discover and setttle in a purple system! ||

[sharp raft]

well at least your base is all flushed out! Getttting all those quests goes a long way to getting your place all set up

[split rapids]

oh that quest DO end

[leaden salmon]

So basically, his clock app needs an update and we're all foaming from the mouth because of it 🙂👍 Cool right

-# I'm joking I dunno anything about it

[split rapids]

basically you have to go to like 10 different abandoned buildings, after that the quest is finished

[sharp raft]

a naturally occuring tidal wave?

Whoops that was a question for @wraith bough

[ashen viper]

That's a cthulu if I've ever seen one.

[wraith bough]

i don't know but...uh...i have a serious issue right now. does someone know how could i tell this bud to get the hell out of my planet?

[ashen viper]

.....kill it with fire.

[sharp raft]

Is it causing harm or do you just not like the thing? 🙂

[wraith bough]

...i can't tell, it jumped on me for a hug

or i guess it wants a hug

[sharp raft]

Maybe thats its way of saying hello?

[wraith bough]

you never know what an animal wants...

[lament spade]

Someone gave me an egg that hatched this narwhal creature ☠️

[wispy heart]

nice

[sharp raft]

Oh my gosh. Wow. Thats quite.. the pet

[lament spade]

ikr Now I have something to swim with me when I go to deep water planets

I can't interact with it either so idk how you guys manage to get pets like these lmao.

[sharp raft]

Just make sure he doesn’t pick fights with that horn!

[split rapids]

after all of that calculation and half of the base built, i discover that my base sits on top of ANOTHER S class deposit 🤦

[lament spade]

Will do.

[split rapids]

now i don't have to expand my base that much

[golden shale]

nms folk thinking it automatically means an update is coming

It's not a "normal" emoji

I'll get you the post people think is an update teaser

https://vxtwitter.com/NoMansSky/status/1916791945587761385

Sean Murray (@[e-mail])

hopefully they are adding AI

vxTwitter / fixvx · Apr 28, 2025, 9:49 AM

This is not how he would tease things

If it were the "update emoji" there'd be a few things that happen

1: Folk in this server would add it to their display names
2: He'd post just the emoji itself

[split rapids]

maybe that means new update is not coming out for a while :/

[golden shale]

If we do not get an update in may it will likely be in june

There's a non zero chance we get a one soon after the expedition ends since it ends on the 7th but its not a guarantee.

I really wish people would stop essentially spreading misinfo and thinking everything is a teaser

I could say oh this means he's adding ai clocks to nms but that's not provable.

[crisp wren]

Yeah, that's just not his normal formula. Also, he's posted really random things before.

Personally, I'd like an expedition break. It's been back to back for a while now.

[golden shale]

I go back again to I wish they'd tease stuff in different ways like how beyond was done

[golden shale]

I'm glad relics was a hybrid update like aquarius but not having another expedition would be 100% okay by my standards

Though its unlikely that next update won't involve one because they do about, 4 ish a year.

[crisp wren]

It likely will, but I don't think we're getting the update immediately after Relics ends like some are expecting. We would have gotten the actual emoji by now if so.

[wraith bough]

They literally gave us a PLANET biomes update with a goddamn paleontology update both at the same time

I'd be more than pleasant to wait until June xD

[crisp wren]

Also, early June is the Switch 2 release

[golden shale]

I'd have laughed pretty hard if Gunter posted a sean tweet with an emoji just there lmao

[wraith bough]

Though, i'd want an update to have fossil legs and arms's pairs be obtainable and not just the left leg/left arm...

[golden shale]

Idk I've genuinely learned to never say never with this game

I said they would not upgrade the engine, very unlikely and then they go and do it not only twice in a row but also make an update the vets of exploration and of pre next love which is bloody hard to do

[crisp wren]

I would have laughed too ha

[golden shale]

Its very likely next update will involve trading stuff potentially since the barter system exists

Still want my settlement update

[crisp wren]

We'll likely get something for the Switch 2 as well.

[golden shale]

Optimization and MP update ofc, I wish them to fix memory leaks where possible

Switch 2 having 4 to 6 or even 8 player MP and it being exclusive to that version would genuinely not surprise me.

[astral bramble]

hello everyone

[wraith bough]

HG is quite famous for adding new stuff and leaving that as it is forever though

Squadrons
Settlements
Pets (new ones are added but the mechanic has been as it is pretty much since companions came out)
I could go on and on about stuff they added and never reworked, but yeah, settlements have aged xD

[crisp wren]

Poor old planet POIs...

[wheat grove]

those existed since day 1

[crisp wren]

And haven't really changed, right?

[wheat grove]

not much, other than details

tho 3 buildings (Outpost, Observatory, and Transmission tower) in one POI was a thing, until they changed it in AR? idk

[crisp wren]

Oh hey, congrats on being made trial mod. 🙂

[wheat grove]

hey thanks 😄 been a month

[crisp wren]

...I've been lurking lol

[golden shale]

My PoI change is a change that's not as big in terms of content additions than others

I want PoIs to have varying visuals per planet type

I would love storms to cover them in sand, water trickling down glass panes, etc etc

[crisp wren]

Yeah, I just want them to be a bit snazzier to look at

[wheat grove]

i think this might be possible, it already been done with small ruin parts

[golden shale]

For example, stuff like say

Damaged Machinery

[wheat grove]

in lush, they are wrapped in vines, while in frozen, the top of the ruin part is covered in snow

[golden shale]

Have them all have the same model, but ones on toxic planets are corodded

I can't see them doing this but I've been very, very wrong before about these things. Physics based weather on objects would be incredibly cool but I worry about the performance issues.

[sinful spire]

tyyy

[civic locust]

If I haven't played seriously in about a year, has enough changed that it might just be best to start over?

[cunning iris]

Game got considerably better (and nicer) but I don't think you need to start over

Some late-game stuff was introduced, so you actually might want to use your old save 😆

[sinful spire]

Caught child of Helios and the boss didn’t spawn. I think it was because I was deep underwater and no land nearby

Hope I didn’t miss my chance

[golden shale]

It's not about catching the child of helios for that boss, but releasing it instead iirc

Its either that or the child of aquarius

[sinful spire]

Yea sorry I meant Aquarius

I released it at the seafood

lol sea floor

Did not cook it!

[sleek quest]

That makes me believe you cooked it even more

[covert fog]

uuuh.... I was afk while eating dinner, when i came back i have a bunch of stuff in my inventory. People just go around giving stuff away ? im at the anomaly

i got 120,000,000 worth of just one thing, and a bunch more 😂 what in the world

[split rapids]

if you don't want that, you should destroy it, it might ruin your experience

[sleek river]

common anomaly behavior
i personally discard everything like that

[covert fog]

but why, are they cleaning their inventory and just doesnt want it? I just wonder why people give it

[sleek river]

theyre rich and have nothing left to do in game

[split rapids]

mostly duped stuff i think

[lime turret]

Ahoy there guys! Does anyone know a place in the game I can find people? During my explorations, I encounter no one

[split rapids]

or as Soda said

[covert fog]

good advice though

i will be afk somewhere else 😄

[covert fog]

Anomaly is the only place i can think of

[cunning iris]

The giving stuff used to be kindness too, but oh well. It was criticized a lot, so I guess the mentality around it changed over time

(Not saying it's wrong or right for that matter)

[sleek river]

i prefer if people gave fun stuff like cooked dishes that doesnt break the game progression

[crisp wren]

It's the fact that you can't refuse the gifts that I don't like.

[covert fog]

i mean i did get 3 salvaged frigate modules, and i was SO HAPPY. because ive been working really hard to get some with no luck

[sleek river]

it felt really bad receiving 2 billion worth of stuff after starting a new save

[covert fog]

for sure should be a value cap of transfering to "non friends"

[crisp wren]

Thankfully I play on Switch, so I don't have to worry about it...

[covert fog]

but heck now i can finally get my scanning room and teleporter room OMGG 🤩
