no-mans-sky

[wraith bough]

Well, not all of them, up to 10 if i remember correctly

[timber falcon]

Yeah, I thought it was likely affected by actual proximity in the game universe.

I mean, in theory I could even see someone who is playing cross platform so that is...a lot of potential people at any given time.

[vapid plaza]

Actually it's more of that the anomaly has 16 spaces for players. Every time it gets full, the next player to enter it is put into a new "mirror" of it.... until that one fills up.

as old ones empty they are discarded.

[timber falcon]

confused Korvax beeping noises

[vapid plaza]

fun fact. If you do a weekday nexus mission, the game sends your party to a system near the system the team's leader came into the anomaly from. One weekends, the nexus has a dedicated planet where it sends ALL teams, regardless of where any of you came from. So if you want to keep your corner of space private, don't be a weekday leader 😄

[timber falcon]

So if I sit there and watch...I could be seeing anyone who goes into their Anomaly at that particular moment? Like, we all pop in and out for little things.

[warm moss]

What's the point of these timed quests ?

[timber falcon]

Yeah that recent Nexus mission that had you build a base resulted in some, shall we say, clutter. I am a good person and I went back and deleted my base. That system, though...

[vapid plaza]

to encourage you to go do exploring while you wait 😄

[warm moss]

But 5 hours ?

[timber falcon]

guth system 003 in Euclid

[vapid plaza]

It's a way to stop people from rushing thru all the content in a matter of .. 5 hours.

[timber falcon]

This is one of the most crowded systems I have ever seen. It's...nearly as bad as Expedition time.

[vapid plaza]

yeah weekend nexus systems get mucked up pretty fast. Some players like that

[timber falcon]

To be faaaaiiiiir, it is a great system rich with various resources

[vapid plaza]

it's a quick way to find other people.

[warm moss]

It just seems really arbitrary to me. And you can easily skip ahead too by changing the time in your OS settings

[vapid plaza]

meh. once you're familiar with the game, finding such a system isn't that tough

[timber falcon]

I wonder if HG has a hand in the creation of those systems beyond the normal algorithms

It's a nice, balanced system

[vapid plaza]

They have a way to find systems that fit the needs of the nexus mission, but they don't "adjust" these systems. They do have the POWER to adjust systems - they do it sometimes for expeditions, and there are one or two points in the storyline (the system Apollo's portal sends you to, for example) where the system is temporarily modified. Your BIRTH system, and some of the systems you visit before you first enter the anomaly are also modified (hazards controlled/nerfed) FOR THAT SAVE FILE for you, and you alone, for ever.

[timber falcon]

Does everyone get their own unique birth system per save file?

Seems doable

[warm moss]

Nah, I've spawned in systems that were already discovered

[timber falcon]

If they have opened up on the mechanics of this stuff I guess I haven't seen it? Like, dev talks?

I would be fascinated to know more about how it all works

[cinder frost]

birth system?

[timber falcon]

Your system you spawn in when you start the game.

[cinder frost]

oh

[timber falcon]

There's an element of randomness. You'll start on a world that has some particular hazard, but not on the extreme level.

[cinder frost]

so basically the system you spawn in when you start a new game is your birth system?

[timber falcon]

(depending on the difficulty setting, I think?)

[cinder frost]

interesting

[lament wasp]

No Man's Sky with Final Fantasy VI vibes

[cinder frost]

where is your minotaur limb upgrades

[timber falcon]

I'm thinking about doing a PD run because honestly, I don't die much and the thrill of it is appealing

Yeah get dat exoskeleton

[lament wasp]

Only have 2

[cinder frost]

get them all

the minotaur gets pretty nutty

[lament wasp]

Im trying to get all xD

[cinder frost]

do you have a settlement

you'll need one to do "A Trace of Metal" questline to upgrade the minotaur

[lament wasp]

Okay i try to get mercury

[strong sandal]

Hello, I recently got internet at the house and was wondering about quicksilver missions? I've been trying to get a living ship for a while but farming the asteroids rarely worked. Is there a way to get mote quicksilver? I did both missions available. I just want one ship for my collection.

[vapid plaza]

the planet you start on is typically in a 6 planet system approx 800.000 ly from core. There is no other criteria. I had a friend once who spawned on an extreme weather, extreme sentinel, gravitino world. He had no idea and was pleasantly building an open air base. I arrived and it was the dead of the F#@%$@#$ing ice ages, gravitinos all over, and sentinels that shot on sight. He saw none of that, despite this being far before we had difficulty settings.

[vapid plaza]

a new quicksilve ris added every day,a nd a weekend one lasts friday to monday; it's worth a bit more.

[strong sandal]

Ahh appreciate it. I did the daily and the weekend one. Guess I'll just have to wait til tomorrow to buy the Whispering egg.

I haven't had internet but had been playing a while, so I'm glad I can finally get one

[vapid plaza]

void egg. DO NOTE you also need to have the portal glyphs in order to complete the void egg's questline

[strong sandal]

Yup, have those. So no problem there.

[vapid plaza]

if you want to skip the quicksilver grind, you can ask nicely in #nms-lfg-or-trades (if you have multiplayer) and see if someone picks up on it.

[strong sandal]

Uh, ask for what exactly?

[vapid plaza]

a void egg 😄

[strong sandal]

Oh, ohhh I didn't know you could give items.

[vapid plaza]

whispering egg is a different thign entirely

[strong sandal]

Oh it's a void egg?

[vapid plaza]

yes, we can quicktransfer items to anothe rplayer's inventory the same way we do from suit to ship

[strong sandal]

Oh okay, thanks. So I'll go ask for a void egg. Appreciate it.

[sharp raft]

Asking for an egg? What is this asking for things.. heh. Ohh you gonna get a whole lot of faceium at the anomaly..

[empty pawn]

is this common bug that in space anomaly and space stations cant see the armor piece? Others can see it tho

@sharp raft we finished the expedition!

[sharp raft]

Oh yay! You did it! Got the suit and everything eh?

[vapid plaza]

LodeSTONE still has not done the stone armor expedition 😮

[sharp raft]

What the heck! But.. you’re STONE! you must! 🙂

[vapid plaza]

I havent had the energy :/

[tribal condor]

[sharp raft]

Well I feel you there. There’s a LOT of warping in it

[junior stratus]

this is why i will never bother with the living ship ever again

[tribal condor]

I genuinely love this game. I just wanted to share that.

[junior stratus]

speaking of that name popup did they fix that for ps5 yet

i noticed when playing the names of planets you land on dont pop up in the middle lmao

[white bluff]

oh?

[sharp raft]

Just wait til you build a base with someone. That hands down.. the most interactive and satisfying part of the game to date!

[junior stratus]

i didnt play on ps5 for a long while tho

[vapid plaza]

You realize it's only the first living ship (per save file) that you have to do the quest for right? After that, the quest is skipped.

[junior stratus]

wait what

i still want more consequences for commiting space piracy

[vapid plaza]

WE STAND ON THE BRINK OF CHAOS!

JOIN ME, TRAVELLERS, AS WE DIVE INTO THE...
oh shit, is this thing crumbling?

Update: Avalanche.

[white bluff]

Can you ride these things without save modifying? I've seen several pics - both of these types being ridden. ?

[vapid plaza]

yes you can

[white bluff]

I guess the trick is somehow getting close enough to feed them.

Can't seem to do it jetpacking to them and quickly trying to feed

[vapid plaza]

can do it with these ones too

[white bluff]

You just jetpack up near them and quickly try to feed?

I've tried it past 5 mins to no avail

[vapid plaza]

gotta stand on high mountian and look WAAAAAAAY up. I understand it's harder to trigger it on controllers

[white bluff]

I will try without controller - I am on PC but use controller.

[vapid plaza]

it's a split second window, but as long as you hold the feed button you're locked in

[white bluff]

Oh!

I just did it

with controller

[vapid plaza]

see 😛

[white bluff]

with these dudes

[vapid plaza]

It's possible

[vapid plaza]

O.O

I had given up on the spirals. That's good to know.

[white bluff]

Disorientating!

[vapid plaza]

yeah all of the new midfliers spin you around

[vapid plaza]

Now you have to find the mamoths.

[white bluff]

There are several on this world

[vapid plaza]

I am kinda sad there arent more variety of these

At least the plantcats had 3 or 4 different heads

(even if same two bodies - prone and upright)

i wouldnt mind a beaver bone critter and maybe a bettle bone critter.

[vapid plaza]

Yeah they're all identical.
I am surprised you found all of them on the same planet.

[white bluff]

Weather: Angered Clouds

[vapid plaza]

I've seen planets with one or two, or planets with 4 different strains of the glo-striders, but never a mix of the flyers.

[vapid plaza]

this is a lost green or something?

or [[redacted]]?

i really should start poking my nose back into the quartzite systems.

take a brreak from my pursuit of jungle planets and what they mean for the stellar data project 😄

[junior stratus]

i forgot skeletal animals exist now

[vapid plaza]

just one breed. and only (from what i understnad) in purple systems

[junior stratus]

ugh ffs.

i honestly wouldnt of minded a galaxy wipe if it meant Purple systems were unlocked off the bat

[vapid plaza]

theyre available immediately in abandoned mode

[white bluff]

Chromatic Fog Planet

[golden wing]

orange

[wicked lava]

how do i get more technology slots in my ship

[wicked lava]

gives an autumn vibe

[white bluff]

You can add slots in Space Stations

[vapid plaza]

same place you scrap ships or add cargo / just click on tech when the cargo slot window opens

[wicked lava]

i thought that was only for exosuits

[wicked lava]

is that the back of the space station

ah i see, thanks for the help guys

btw are exotics just a better all rounder than shuttles

[tawdry musk]

"Better" is something that's personal. All fully-upgraded ships are more than enough for any opposition. It all comes up to personal preference. I flew a shuttle for a year. Now, I like interceptors and haulers. One for the agility and one for the look. I found exotics almost.....twitchy. Fly what you like.

[junior stratus]

I dont want to do abandoned mode is the problem

[wicked lava]

wait how do i upgrade ships other than upgrade modules from space station ship upgrades stall and tech from anomaly

[tawdry musk]

You can upgrade the class of a ship. Same as with MTs.

[wicked lava]

oh srsly?

so i DONT have to wait for s classes in the space station 😭

[tawdry musk]

50K nanites

[wicked lava]

50k nanites for ANY class?

[tawdry musk]

I believe that is the case.

[wicked lava]

like c-b is 50k and so is a-s?

oh

i mean im really new so i dont even have like 6000 nanites rn

[tawdry musk]

You can also build ships.

[wicked lava]

ship type isnt a priority rn

[tawdry musk]

Scrap ships, and then build one from the parts.

[wicked lava]

yeah i saw that at the back

[wicked lava]

so isnt that js a waste of time

because if u scrap a ship and use the scraps to build another wont it be the same ship

[tawdry musk]

It's more of an end-game thing. When you're flush with cash and needing something to do. The class is set by the class of the reactor you use. You can mix and match parts from various parts from any given class. Hauler parts or fighter parts. To build a hauler or fighter you desire.

I can help you out if you need some. I have runaway mould that refines into nanites. Got four farms on two planets.

[wicked lava]

i dont have multiplayer 😔

im on xbox

[wicked lava]

so if you mixed an s-class reactor with like c-class other patys it will still be s-class?

[tawdry musk]

The parts don't have class.

And NMS is cross-play. So, we could meet up.

[wicked lava]

no on xbox u need a subscription

[tawdry musk]

Sucky

[wicked lava]

if u dont have gamepass or live

u cant

[tawdry musk]

Do you have your glyphs?

[wicked lava]

no, im really new, i think ive only discovered 1 glyph

[tawdry musk]

Sorry for my mistake. I know nothing about consoles. Last one I played was Atari 2600.

[wicked lava]

lol np

i got an xbox cuz i cant afford a pc rn

i wish

i might get xbox gamepass soon

[tawdry musk]

All good, sir.

[wicked lava]

hopefully 🤞

[tawdry musk]

I played with MP off for a year. Learning the ropes. Walked a million units on my home planet.

So poor I built a silver mine.;

[wicked lava]

if parts dont have class, what do they have

[wicked lava]

im so poor i dont have a mine 😭

[wicked lava]

1 million units is wild bruh

[tawdry musk]

So....the parts give you the look. The reactor gives you the class.

[wicked lava]

i couldnt walk that much

[wicked lava]

wb ship type?

[junior stratus]

I wish npc bounty hunters came after me

[tawdry musk]

Scrap fighters to get fighter parts to build fighters. Scrap explorers........

Takes a lot of ships to get the parts for a new ship. Expensive.

[wicked lava]

oh so the ship type is js dependent on the ship u scrap?

[tawdry musk]

Exactly

[wicked lava]

you can customise the ship u make right?

[tawdry musk]

You get to select which engine/cockpit/wings and such.

[wicked lava]

oh so how it looks?

you can change its design and colour?

[halcyon tide]

you select all the parts and colours while you're assembling a ship

not after

once it's done, it's finalized

or js the colour

[halcyon tide]

both

you can add and remove parts to see how they look before finalizing the design

mix and match

[lilac ivy]

Elo elo

[halcyon tide]

anyway another thing
you can only use hauler parts to make haulers, fighters with fighters, etc

no mixing different types

[wicked lava]

awesome

so assembling ur own ship is only if you wanna have full control over customisation?

[lilac ivy]

Oh this is no mans sky server

Nice forgot y'all had ine

One*

[halcyon tide]

well yeah if you want a specific design in the colours you want

[lilac ivy]

But the game got so much better than 2 years ago

[wicked lava]

but if u js want a ship, is it better to buy one anyway

like if u dont care abt design or colour or appearance

[halcyon tide]

i built this one a while ago

[halcyon tide]

yeah if you don't care, it's much cheaper to buy it

cause then you won't have to buy multiple and the core of the ship

[halcyon tide]

yeah it's crazy how much nms inproves

[wicked lava]

alr

[halcyon tide]

ship building is more of a late-game thing

[wicked lava]

so making ur own ship is more tailored to people who have disposable parts/resources

[lilac ivy]

Fr fr

[halcyon tide]

well usually you'd hunt for the specific parts that you want

[wicked lava]

wait what

i thought u get the parts only from scrapping ur ships

[halcyon tide]

like say i want a needle cockpit and droid wings
i'd go around looking for ships with those parts in order to scrap them

[covert bobcat]

That's how I made my flying dumpster hauler it's just a small green box

[halcyon tide]

there are interceptors that look like garbage trucks lol

i found a few

[robust merlin]

pog

[halcyon tide]

wow

[robust merlin]

i already looted it but that is wild

[halcyon tide]

lots of good modules

[covert bobcat]

I have one in Orange and Blue lol

[halcyon tide]

fr

[robust merlin]

i already have upgraded tech tho

[wicked lava]

are there are set amount of wing types and cockpit types

[halcyon tide]

yes there is a certain amount of them
i recommend going to nmsge.com if you want to see them all

[robust merlin]

only needed the infraknife mod

[halcyon tide]

do you have coords for that system?

[robust merlin]

one sec

[halcyon tide]

:0

[robust merlin]

is that good?

[halcyon tide]

[robust merlin]

alr, np

[wicked lava]

wait what this website is goated i can find my perfect squid type

[halcyon tide]

huge database of ships

it was amazing before they added ship building

even now, it's easy to find parts that you want

[wicked lava]

thanks so much

[halcyon tide]

[robust merlin]

if anyone wants to join me in my system im by the quicksilver guy in the anomaly

gunter approves

[halcyon tide]

i don't have multiplayer 😔

[robust merlin]

damn

[halcyon tide]

[robust merlin]

[halcyon tide]

i made that emoji lol

[robust merlin]

lmao

[tulip oar]

hi

[halcyon tide]

hi artemis

[tulip oar]

hi soup

[halcyon tide]

how are you?

[tulip oar]

im ok

92 are you

how

[halcyon tide]

yes im 92

i'm tired lol

-# i sure hope bjorn isn't here

[rose sundial]

Hello everyone

[wicked lava]

hey

yk for that ship finding website

[halcyon tide]

what about it?

[wicked lava]

if the date on the system is old

[rose sundial]

oh I have it on my phone, let me grab the url

[wicked lava]

does that mean that the squid ship might not be in that system anymore

[sharp raft]

who's on duty?

[halcyon tide]

i'm not entirely sure

[sharp raft]

who's the mod on duty?

[halcyon tide]

maybe ask bk in #nms-questions

[wicked lava]

because 1 squid ship i found

and i like it

[halcyon tide]

looks like it's Doc

doc doesn't do much

[wicked lava]

but the system is from 2022

[halcyon tide]

yeah i don't really know

it should be the same

[rose sundial]

http://nmsge.com/

Thats the one

[halcyon tide]

yeah

[wicked lava]

i asked

hes replying

bro bk always replies no matter what time

are there 2 different types of squid ships? i noticed one has longer tentacles than the other

[rose sundial]

There seems to be longer, mid and short

[wicked lava]

yeah i like longer

[rose sundial]

me too

[jagged heron]

Is the orange line on the galaxy map guiding me towards the center?

[wicked lava]

wait how do u get a crashed ship

do you have to pay for it

or like repair smth

[tawdry musk]

Crashed ships have lots of broken stuff. Shield, launch thrusters and such. You need materials (or repair kits) to get it off the ground. then you can fix the slots that have broken stuff in them.

[lethal adder]

its a glitch. you will see yours with legs retracted, but others with legs out

[tawdry musk]

They are free, otherwise.

[wicked lava]

are they easy to repaiir?

[wicked lava]

srsly? it isnt intentional?

[lethal adder]

No. Squids are the same except for color

[wicked lava]

also dym that for me my ship will always have small tentacles and other ppl will see my ship with long tentacles

[wicked lava]

oh dam

[tawdry musk]

When you're just starting out, you might not have recipes for all the mats needed. So, some you have to buy from minor colony dudes.

[wicked lava]

alr cool

[sharp raft]

@halcyon tide !

::starts the timer::

We see how long til Soup gets the ping.

[sharp raft]

don't you love that about this game? that there's more than one way to do the same thing. 🙂

[tawdry musk]

Totally. Always more to learn.

[sharp raft]

its crazy how sometimes a theory actually works in the universe. ahh we be explorers

[rose sundial]

is there a way to import coordinates in nms

like on the galaxy map?

[tawdry musk]

None that I know of. I just write them down. Pen and paper.

Might be some mod.

[rose sundial]

are there systems with no space stations?

[fathom slate]

Yes, uninhabited systems

[vapid plaza]

on the galaxy map, you will see that most systems list a race and a conflict level.
if the system does not list a race, then there will be no station. ("uncharted")
if the system does list a race, but not a conflict level, then there will be a "broken" station. ("abandoned")

[rose sundial]

ah yeah it says uncharted

thats why lol

[vapid plaza]

not sure what you mean by import?
Each planet has an adress that can be gotten to from anywhere in that galaxy as long as you know the glyphs for the planet, and you have access to portal technology

[rose sundial]

does anyone have a picture that explains the colors of stars within the galaxy map

Im having trouble understanding the consistency of stars

[vapid plaza]

yellow (F/G) are copper systems
red (m/k) are cadmium
green (e) are emeril
blue (o/b) are indium

so a system listed as K8p-Water means a cadmium system, with at least one planet having water.

[rose sundial]

and the resources are mostly preference or should i be aiming for blue for example for a base

[vapid plaza]

preference. you're more likely to find certain types of planets in certain colors. green systems are more likely to have the freaky planets, yellows more likely that the lush planets are still lush 😄

(a blue system, for example, might convert the lush planet into a "lost blue" which is still sorta grassy, but with weird colors and suchlike.

[halcyon tide]

i was busy

[blazing wraith]

btw, when I realized the stellar color and magnitude letters in NMS were real (other then E-class which is fictional) and part of the Hertzsprung diagram in real life astronomy, I got even more enthused for NMS.

[blazing wraith]

(I took Astronomy 101 because I was a science fiction fan, more or less 😉 )

[steep quarry]

yeah, NMS is pretty accurate in a lot of ways that has true scientific basis, but then also makes things believable for the actually fictional stuff

[blazing wraith]

Yah, as long as you are going to have green stars, picking E for them makes sense...

[steep quarry]

E relates to Emeril in my mind so

[blazing wraith]

Lol, I think of it as Emerald... The B for Blue helps too, but O being blue also means I think of it as Bloo 😉

[steep quarry]

I also have a chart to help me out ofc

[blazing wraith]

Lol I had to look it up to be sure I wasn't misrembering Astronomy 101, but we spent more time off the main spectrum where the really weird stars are anyway... 🤣

At least I recognized the star class nomenclature 😉

[steep quarry]

yeah lol

I've also taken an astronomy class and I've taken a bunch of chemistry & biology classes as well as some physics classes so I know a lot about this sort of stuff, and NMS is really good

[robust merlin]

dont forget y is quartzite

new update :P

[rose sundial]

What is a preferred economy?

[elfin plover]

Holy shit a planet with green grass

[robust merlin]

found alot of them

[elfin plover]

Goddammit boiling rain storms there's always gotta be something

[robust merlin]

alot of green planets i find have superheated rain

[elfin plover]

I'm always waiting for the other shoe to drop with these planets, like, what's the catch lmao

[robust merlin]

xd

anyways i found a s class pyrite deposit :P

[mossy parcel]

🔫 Psh Psh i say no

[robust merlin]

lmao

oh hey pokyb

[mossy parcel]

[halcyon tide]

[mossy parcel]

Something not right here

oh yeah its the Star number 5 on the left

[robust merlin]

wha

[steep quarry]

x & y actually

[robust merlin]

anyways, SS Divine Naraja

[steep quarry]

wdym?

[robust merlin]

oh, didn't know there was another letter for the purple systems

[steep quarry]

Boop

[rose sundial]

There are like trading, advanced materials, scientific, mining maufacturing, technology, or power generation

[steep quarry]

ah, yeah that's the economy type, none are "preferred" necessarily, it's just the indication for trade goods

[rose sundial]

okay so just what you can buy to ship to other stations

[steep quarry]

Only specific goods are bought & sold for trading, see this

[rose sundial]

ah I see

thats interesting

for ship rarity, you just want the 3 star then?

[robust merlin]

we should make a economy hexagon for nms

[mossy parcel]

better

👀

[rose sundial]

okay thats makes sense. just find like an orange near a yellow both 3 stars

[steep quarry]

yeah, rarity is based on stars (or outlaw), not type

[rose sundial]

Im trying to find a place for a base and I think im looking for a 3 star that is on a low sentinal activity flourishing planet

[vapid plaza]

Simplified

[steep quarry]

it doesn't matter how near/far they are, you can always teleport between them

[rose sundial]

okay yeah thats fair.

[steep quarry]

you don't wanna sell to the trade terminals itself tho, NPC trading won't cause issues with supply/demand

[rose sundial]

I have another question as well. I recieved a freighter I really dont like

can I just sell it or get rid of it?

Me who releported 10 times fought dreadnoughts instead finding exotic ship

Morning guys

[robust merlin]

kudos to the iidera for giving me this module

[ancient holly]

sadly the sea doesn't have predatory animals

well... besides crabs I think (ground animal underwater)

there is no attacking AI for swimming fauna in the game

only jellyfish and the alluring trap swim after you

and yeah predatory animals very weak and boring

they more of annoying than intriguing sadly

[heady gyro]

@errant copper incoming visitor

[steep quarry]

they actually do from my experience, some squids/octopi will just randomly attack you

[ancient holly]

never seen it

[steep quarry]

it's probably rare, but I'm positive it's happened because I've experienced it

[dull oar]

How do I start the expedition through my current survival save and will it ruin it if I do

[sleek quest]

It won't ruin anything, all you have to do is go to the anomaly and visit the terminal behind the nexus ball.

On the left of quicksilver vendor

[dull oar]

Thanks is there anything I should know about doing it this way

[sleek quest]

You can take some stuff with you to the expedition, but you will only be able to access them after you warp once in the expedition

[dull oar]

Also another person said expedition is on normal difficulty since I’m on survival will it change my game mode

[sleek quest]

No it should not

[dull oar]

What should be the most imporant things to bring

[vocal plinth]

I am supposed find artemis

But i am hunting ships

xD

[sleek quest]

You can look at the pins in #nms-expedition

[sinful spire]

True

[sinful spire]

That’s an amazing module I am jealous

[robust merlin]

ii hope you come across the same luck soon

[heady gyro]

im an idiot

i choose a harsh galaxy when i purged

[covert fog]

What about the big guy with the antennas

He didn't catch me but almost

[ancient holly]

the new bugs?

they're cool

[covert fog]

Not a bug, it's a huge fish

Like an angler fish

But huge

[vocal plinth]

FINALLY the setlement will be out of debt

[covert bobcat]

I just accidentally deleted my main save thinking it was another one 😑 guess it's as good a time as any to start a new game 😂

[cunning iris]

Ouch, that hurts. No backup?

[fathom slate]

That’s rough

[covert bobcat]

Nope but of well still fairly new was only a few weeks in

[alpine shell]

well if you need help getting things when you start again i can help you out

[vocal plinth]

i hate the dog sentinel

[covert bobcat]

I'll be alright once I get the nipnip farm back up and running just need to find another planet to call home

[alpine shell]

if you happen to have screenshots of your old base you can go there and build on the same planet

if you have the glyphs in them

[covert bobcat]

Unfortunately I didn't save the glpyhs but maybe I'll find it again still wasn't my ideal planet anyways lol

And that means I get to hunt a new main ship

[alpine shell]

i can also help out with trading ships from the previous expeditions too

[long lagoon]

I don't think anyone likes them lol. If I know I'm gonna be fighting one I use an exocraft and shoot it from a distance

[covert bobcat]

I've never done an expedition no clue what those look like lol probably get in on the next one didn't care for the rewards from this one so I skipped it

[alpine shell]

well expeditions are limited time rewards so its worth it to get them because the rewards are claimable on all characters

[covert bobcat]

It's a toss between another sentinel ship or the smallest shuttle I can find it maybe a guppy not sure what I'm feeling yet

[naive mist]

Type !faq-expedition in #bot-spam for info

[covert bobcat]

Thanks I forgot about that

[nocturne coral]

Childhood ahh game ❤️‍🩹

[vocal plinth]

nooooo

[heady gyro]

has anyone ever discovered a super flat/ sand dune like world?

[vocal plinth]

found a sentinel ship

but i cant repair

[gentle ridge]

then repair it

[vocal plinth]

I LACK STUFF

[gentle ridge]

ah

aquire said stuff, then you can repair it

[heady gyro]

youll get an auto quest added to your log when you find a sentinel ship

[vocal plinth]

thx

i rlly hate the sentinel dogs

[toxic silo]

love when the SC slots obviously tell you "this corner is for this now"

bottom left just screams "GUN"

Ohhh the front of the ship even looks like the infraknife

BLAPBLAPBLALPBLAP

[halcyon tide]

i love when your IK is so fast it goes from "pew pew pew pew pew pew" to "shshshshshshshshsh"

[toxic silo]

a salt shaker, but bullets!

[halcyon tide]

yup

it's like a bullet laser lol

just like real fighter jets

[toxic silo]

brrrrrrrrrrrrrrt

[halcyon tide]

the bullets are so long and so close it's like firing a straight bar of metal through opponents

[toxic silo]

I still like a maxed phase beam because I enjoy the visual of my giant bus spinning and shooting lasers everywhere while trying fruitlessly to track pirates

but the infraknife is special

[halcyon tide]

true

i dont remember if i ditched the pase beam or not

dont even need it since i have so many batteries

[toxic silo]

I try to keep each ship to two weapons because scrolling through them is ugh

rocket launcher is still the delete button on my bus

[halcyon tide]

lol

double SC rocket launcher goes hard

i just remembered

haven't seen @shut pagoda in quite some time

oh shoot it is star wars day

i forgot about for a whole 90 seconds

smh

[wheat grove]

huh... found a variation of toxic planet i have NEVER seen before

[vocal plinth]

i jsut found 3 sentinel crash sites on the same planet

...

[halcyon tide]

well yeah
all disonannt planets have a lot of them

[split rapids]

that's... normal? i guess?

[vocal plinth]

i didnt know

[halcyon tide]

well now you do

[halcyon tide]

ooh neat

[vocal plinth]

but is it going to be the same model on the disonann planet?

[halcyon tide]

i know you're here i just saw you

[vocal plinth]

or hey can be diffrent variants

on the same planet

[halcyon tide]

yes
each planet has one model, with many crash sites of the same model

[cloud pagoda]

Ive been giving away iron vulture ship parts on the anomaly and i love when people just start dancing to say thanks lol

[halcyon tide]

however, stats and class do vary

[wheat grove]

well actually each system have only 1 sentinel ship model

[halcyon tide]

doesnt each system only have one disonnant planet tho

[wheat grove]

they can have more than 1

[halcyon tide]

ah

i dont think i've ever seen any

[vocal plinth]

what is it good for?

[toxic silo]

It is! Had to work on my birthday friday, so we're gonna celebrate (technically tonight) with star wars stuff

[halcyon tide]

it finds harmonic camps, where you can get sentinel multitools and locate sentinel interceptors

[vocal plinth]

a

OK

[halcyon tide]

might want to upgrade your exosuit storage lol

[toxic silo]

need a NMS goal to do tomorrow to relax. short on nanites so I could just stack missions and blow up the police

[halcyon tide]

i'm trying to play nms on my mac again (fingers crossed)
and uh
chromeOS????

[vocal plinth]

who wants one of these let me know i made a base and out some beacons

comsic megafauna?

living ships or what?

[halcyon tide]

i distinctly remember what i was eating last time i did this
last time i was disappointed

[halcyon tide]

living frigates

[vocal plinth]

is it bad?

[halcyon tide]

you need the dream aerial for the first one, then use an anomaly detector

[halcyon tide]

iirc they start out balanced, and then you feed them stuff to change their stats

[vocal plinth]

aaaaa

need more upgrades for my ship

[halcyon tide]

gawd dayum

i could cook an egg on this shi

one hundred and eightteen degrees celsius

[toxic silo]

SSSSSSSSSSSSSS

[halcyon tide]

i need to clean these fans dayum

[toxic silo]

is the computer dusty

yeah lmao

[halcyon tide]

the problem is

[toxic silo]

no compressed air

[halcyon tide]

i cant find the right fucking screwdrivers

[toxic silo]

OH

EVEN WORSE

[halcyon tide]

these stupid

pentalobe ones

WHY APPLE??? WHY??????

it's still only at 50%

[toxic silo]

so you go to the genius bar and spend 100 dollars or buy applecare

[halcyon tide]

hell naw

[toxic silo]

i worked for apple

that's the reason for the screws.

[halcyon tide]

ofc it is

[toxic silo]

it sucks so bad

[halcyon tide]

it's so that apple can make more money on repairs

[toxic silo]

"repairs" lmao

as if the genius bar could do anything

[halcyon tide]

i will make a mould around the screws and cast my own screwdriver if that's what it takes

[toxic silo]

and that's what people did

[halcyon tide]

i will rob an apple store just for the screwdrivers

[toxic silo]

and I don't blame em

[halcyon tide]

it's still just as bad omfg

[toxic silo]

92 for die is a lot

[halcyon tide]

well not shit sherlock

[toxic silo]

should be 80

taking off like a jet engine

[halcyon tide]

i'm aborting

[halcyon tide]

yeah
almost 7000rpm

[toxic silo]

yeah I'd pause the download and shut down

it's got dust bunnies

[halcyon tide]

hey it could be worse

i got a rendering engine to take 700%

[toxic silo]

yeah it could've kernel panicked or set on fire

[halcyon tide]

nah this wont cause a kernel panic

going on the internet with SIP off will

[toxic silo]

GBhththbaehahahhahahaha

[halcyon tide]

that is a mistake i will only make once

[toxic silo]

I worked for apple during the Lion update that bricked everyone's computer

[halcyon tide]

[toxic silo]

That was fun.

[halcyon tide]

man i remember OS X lion

[toxic silo]

people clung to snow leopard for like, 4 OSXs

[halcyon tide]

damn

the first one i actually used was Yosemite tho

[toxic silo]

yoseemate was pretty neat

Back to NMS though. You can transfer your save from your switch to PC/Mac when you get it to work right

the switch has always seemed like the weird save file

[halcyon tide]

i can yes

finally got cross-save

[toxic silo]

Is there still a waiting list for it?

[halcyon tide]

maybe

[toxic silo]

fair lol

[halcyon tide]

all i know is that my waiting is finally over

[vocal plinth]

guys

[steep quarry]

omg I have a blue version of that already!

[vocal plinth]

the harmonised brain works on any sentienel ship

[halcyon tide]

ok back to normal lol
we got the nice degrees

[halcyon tide]

yup

i used to have loads stashed

[toxic silo]

ayyyyyyyyyy

[vocal plinth]

oh nice thanks

[halcyon tide]

for when i was interceptor hunting

[vocal plinth]

want a better nice looking one

[steep quarry]

no, the one I have is an S class, and I like the blue color more than the yellow

[vocal plinth]

no i meant i want a better one

[quiet snow]

You could check on yt

Hold up i got

https://youtu.be/dzjnI2glJ_c?si=-xgJ3uyubrBLxfT-

This guy is literally farming for ships. Do check him out

I personally have the 9th ship shown in this video

@vocal plinth ^

[toxic silo]

the algorithm threw a 'fun facts' video and it made me learn that the little circle next to the planet on your ship's screen is actually someone trying to scan you

nine years. I just thought it was a funny sci-fi thing

[vocal plinth]

i dont know bout glyphs and stuff man

thats why i wonder near planets i went

[quiet snow]

Ah

[toxic silo]

the quest you're on in the screenshot you sent will teach you about them pretty soon actually

[quiet snow]

Well u could just use the echo locator to find the camp- make base- use the terminal and get the ship

[vocal plinth]

ok

[quiet snow]

If u like the design then upgrade the ship if its non s class

[toxic silo]

I gotta work on that still, too, actually

the universal cereal bus is B. That must change

I love when the "What was I doing last time?" question is answered by spawning in an ocean

toxic protection falling, you say

Yep I completely forgot what I was doing where's my ship

Surprise, it's piss again

[minor cloak]

bros "tail fin" is bigger than his engine and cockpit combined

flying through pure imagination and will power

[vocal plinth]

another one

[toxic silo]

It's called the Forget-Me-Not because all my ships are flower motifs

and it won't let you forget it

[vocal plinth]

why all are b rank

[minor cloak]

yeah im pretty sure with that kinda orc contraption it would be hard to forget xD

[toxic silo]

The yaw axis is scary fast

tony hawk as nothing on me holding the roll while flying into the atmosphere

[minor cloak]

because you need to look harder

[toxic silo]

720 degrees is rookie numbers

the part where I slam into the planet is scripted i swear

[minor cloak]

the backflips on that ship would probably also be quite fast lol

[toxic silo]

let me try

okay yeah that made me feel a little queasy

not as fast as rolling but oof

[knotty hazel]

May the 4th be with you...
#StarWarsDay

[minor cloak]

it looks like you just broke off one of this guys wings and you're now using that wing as a ship

[toxic silo]

Shhhhhhh

[sturdy arrow]

Guys i found a glitch for money

[minor cloak]

which of all of them

[vocal plinth]

ummmm

[sturdy arrow]

All you need to do is buy cheap ship and when you scrap it it will be worth double what you bought it for

[toxic silo]

sit in the anomaly for 30 minutes and you'll have 600m

[minor cloak]

ummmm

[toxic silo]

units suddenly becoming meaningless is part of the theme

[vocal plinth]

ik bout that prject

[toxic silo]

SPIN

[safe tendon]

What a weird looking ship, where did you find it? 👀

Keep in mind that this channel is for NMS-media only, thanks
@blind._.fish

[minor cloak]

its not exactly a very secret project, also not very secret that it absolutely flopped and never made it past the prototype stage

lame

[toxic silo]

i made myself dizzy trying to figure out how gameplay capture works

this ship's maneuverability might be a little high

[minor cloak]

considering youre basically just a giant wing with engines....understandable

[toxic silo]

joining a friend and warping to them, and just jumpscaring them by spiralling it into whatever mountain they can see

Totally worth it

NYROOOM

Oh no there's a spot for another maneuverability upgrade

Thank you X upgrade.

[elfin plover]

Amazing how I was playing and just kept getting distracted by new stuff out of the corner of my eye as I wander off and find something new to discover and then go "wait what was I doing again?"

[naive mist]

That really sounds like a glitch. It should not be worth more.

[wheat grove]

happens to most of us 🙂

[elfin plover]

Honestly I see it as a positive

[wheat grove]

yeap!

[elfin plover]

If the game is distracting me often enough with "ooo what's over there" then that tends to be a good thing

I think that's what I've found a massive surprise about NMS. The game manages to be very big yes but also the worlds you're on are surprisingly DENSE with stuff

[wheat grove]

most of the time i'm just landing and scanning things, and then "Oh wow, what kind of terrain is that, time to check it out!"

or... exploring the planet, then got distracted by digging up fossils

[quasi summit]

Ooh shiny

[elfin plover]

Sure they're not perfect, but there's a hell of a lot more going on in the world on each planet than I've seen in the vast majority of procgen games

The planets feel like, unique and populated instead of just... Empty and bland like a certain other game

And honestly that's a hell of an accomplishment

[wheat grove]

and get carried away, until i was about 10 minutes away from my ship

[elfin plover]

MOOD

Me finding a cave and going "oooo what's in here"

[wheat grove]

yeap! 😄 I'm really happy you enjoy NMS as much as most of us were

[elfin plover]

10 minutes later oopsie

[quasi summit]

Land ship, do thing. Need Launch fuel, go searching, get distracted. End up 30+ min away from you ship. Attempt to summon... Need launch fuel.

[wheat grove]

oopsie

[elfin plover]

I also appreciate that the MAJORITY of the time the game is like "yeah you can do that"

Exploring abandoned bases? Pop off, exploring a crashed ship? Well you can't explore all of it but there's often a decent chunk to explore

Space stations? Go ahead!

About the only miss so far has been running into a space wreck and being unable to explore THAT but I can understand that at the same time

Number 1 pet peeve of mine in open world games is when the game goes "nope can't do that!" Usually with regards to buildings or something which is just... Kinda annoying even though I know expecting every building to have something inside is unrealistic

But NMS lets me go inside enough stuff and gives me more than enough to poke around so it doesn't bother me much when it has to say "no"

[minor cloak]

id be more scared for the mountains being cut straight through rather than you lol

[vocal plinth]

when u spot a exotic ship on desolant planet

but another npc ship crashes in u and get stuck so u lsot the ship

[quasi summit]

It wasn't meant to be.

[vocal plinth]

and still saw it

flying above me

and this si why

i saw a trading station

[minor cloak]

i love nms

spawning an S class dreadnought in an asteroid field with one completely covering the landing pads, thank you so much

[quasi summit]

Oh, I once got stuck inside my own freighter when a pirate attacked outside.. this was back when they locked the doors.. so I couldn't get out.

[wicked lava]

whats the best method to find crashed ships

preferrably exotics or ones with no owner

[halcyon tide]

ngl your chances of finding a crashed exotic are practically nil

just wait it out at a trading post

[wicked lava]

oh

[cosmic ledge]

Have you beat the main story

[halcyon tide]

it's 1 in 301

[wicked lava]

no

[wicked lava]

😔

[quasi summit]

So farm other crashed ships for cash.. like 42 mil... then wait at a Trade Station or Starbase till an exotic shows up.

[desert elm]

hi chat

[burnt falcon]

Hey everyone¡!!

[halcyon tide]

[desert elm]

Hru?

[burnt falcon]

How are yall traveller's doing?

[wicked lava]

is that the best way to make cash?

[burnt falcon]

Im good.

[halcyon tide]

very tired

[wicked lava]

and if so then how do i find crashed ships effectively

[desert elm]

That's good to hear!

[halcyon tide]

it's 02:30 rn lol

[burnt falcon]

I do starship valves

[desert elm]

Same here lol

[quasi summit]

There are many ways. I made one of my first fortunes salvaging Drowned Ships. Get a Nautilon, equip it with a Sonar, dunk it in the ocean and simply scan for ships.
The more (deep) water on the planet the better.

[halcyon tide]

imo the best way is using the nautilon radar

[burnt falcon]

You? And same

[vapid plaza]

quite a few ways, depends on your interests and what gear you have unlocked

[vocal plinth]

u can defend a freighter from 5 pirate ships and then ehad to the space stationa nd wait for it to land

[desert elm]

I'm pretty good, js wish I could fall asleep lol

[vocal plinth]

if u get 8 ships attacking the ferighter reload

[quasi summit]

Since I have all the recipies unlocked and several full farm bases. I can make ~200 mill crafting with raw mats.

[burnt falcon]

Need to draw more NMS stuff

[wicked lava]

wait for the freighter to land?

[halcyon tide]

oh cool did you draw that?

[vocal plinth]

no defend it from pirates in sapce

[vapid plaza]

Food known as HGDelight makes 10 million units for a stack of 50 😄

[wicked lava]

i cant make a farm yet lol

[burnt falcon]

I did

[wicked lava]

so what lands

[burnt falcon]

It's 2.5 feet by 3 ft

[halcyon tide]

did you post it in #no-mans-art? 👀

[vocal plinth]

exotic ships may land on trading station

[burnt falcon]

I will

[wicked lava]

oh cool

[quasi summit]

I find cooking annoying... personally.

[wicked lava]

is that a part of a ship

[pliant sundial]

the inventory limitations were the worst part, ngl

[burnt falcon]

Starship AI valves? No

[wicked lava]

im quite new tbh

[wicked lava]

so what are valves

[vocal plinth]

this is a trading post

[wicked lava]

so js wait there for ages?

[quasi summit]

That is a Korvax repository.. but it does the same a trading post.

[vocal plinth]

5 hrs or worse

[wicked lava]

is it true that a 3 star system has a higher chance of exotics

[vocal plinth]

still i saw on this planet an exotic

[wicked lava]

ill do that later lol

[burnt falcon]

Break down ships or go to the anomaly

[wicked lava]

alr

[burnt falcon]

I got mine through the anomaly, got lucky and someone gave em to me

[vocal plinth]

its hauler paradise here btw

[burnt falcon]

But they are 50 mil a piece

[wicked lava]

dayum

[vapid plaza]

brand new, digging things up is the best way. buried items on planets are worth a ton, early game.

if you are fine with combatting sentinels, then finding an agressive sentinel planet and fighting until you get a pillar unlocked (these disable sentinels for a while) can give you a planet where you can collect grivitino balls freely.

There's a !Faq-Units command, you can run in #bot-spam that will give you a whole list of how to make money.

[quasi summit]

Oh dear... I summoned my Freighter and one of the frigates came out of warp on top of me.. I nearly died.. but I remembered. I can Dismiss the Freighter... close..

[burnt falcon]

My current set up

The sentinel ships are still my favorites

[wicked lava]

i mean does 14 hours count as brand new cuz i feel like grvaitino balls dont give that much

i have like 15 million units rn 😔

[vapid plaza]

yeah id say 14 hours is still breand new

[vocal plinth]

wait who said if there is a system with 3 planets theres higher chacne for exotic pop up?

[quasi summit]

It is about making money with what you have. That method, while time consuming and less profitable is quite viable.
I don't think your up to crafting Status Units atm.

[wicked lava]

some yt video i cant exactly remember

they were either talkin about exotics or s-classes

[quasi summit]

Bah, Youtube is sometimes dubious or just wrong. And it might be outdated. Follow a reliable Wiki or the guides in #bot-spam

[wicked lava]

oh alr

[halcyon tide]

all systems have one exotic

and they will always be

[split rapids]

tornadoes can pull you from inside the base, even while you're climbing ladders 🤣

[vocal plinth]

ye but someone said if there is an 3 planets system is higher chacne

Hello soup kitty

[halcyon tide]

How is

[wicked lava]

so if i need reliable info i should use bot spam?

what if the thing i need isnt there

[halcyon tide]

very tired
trying to get work done at 02:41 again

[wind sentinel]

Ask in #nms-questions

[halcyon tide]

bot spam is just where you run bot commands

[quasi summit]

There are some good Wiki's out there with reliable, updated information. Or yes, #nms-questions

[wind sentinel]

Here you can ask questions tho more in depth Q and A are better suited in the respective channels or help.

[quasi summit]

Trust the community. Not some Tuber looking for clicks and views.

[halcyon tide]

[wind sentinel]

NMs Wiki is good just make sure to check when the last time that wiki article was updated.

[wind sentinel]

cough Professor Cynical cough

[quasi summit]

Lemme dust off my lab coat

[halcyon tide]

youtube is not very trustworthy when it comes to nms
with some notable exceptions such as Beeblebum and Kanaju

[wicked lava]

oh yeah true

[quasi summit]

I'd rather trust someone actively streaming on Twitch... Do people still stream NMS?
(J/k I know they do, I was hanging with one earlier)

[halcyon tide]

well there's still twitch drops

anyway im gonna go now

[elfin plover]

I was streaming it earlier today lmao

[elfin plover]

Wait there is?

[wind sentinel]

Goodbye kitty in soup

[elfin plover]

I gotta find out how to turn that on

[halcyon tide]

yeah they dont run them very often
similar to expeditions

[wind sentinel]

Not one active atm but watch out for them being advertised in patch notes for larger updates.

[halcyon tide]

cya chippy

[hardy tendon]

Ow

[elfin plover]

Ahhh gotcha

[quasi summit]

Link your Steam account (If PC) to Twitch. Watch, earn stuff.. I got a bunch of ships and Multi-tools in the rewards center that I honestly don't care about... 6hrs watching, do nothing with reward.

[elfin plover]

Copy that

Waitwaitwait, some of the music is ALSO procedurally generated to a degree??

[quasi summit]

I thought it was produced. then Procedurally mixed... But that might only apply to the original score? I dunno..

[indigo shadow]

why does playing in the expedition start a new save?

[quasi summit]

It used to.. but you can now start it in your primary game.

[indigo shadow]

how so

[elfin plover]

Ah that makes more sense

I was about to say how the hell do you procgen music

[quasi summit]

There is a console in the Anomaly to the right, behind the nexus. You can even take some items into the expidition, and using that terminal, bring them from the expedition back to your main game.

[indigo shadow]

oh thats so cool

ok

[quasi summit]

Oh, yes.. much better then the old New/seperate save thing they had before. IMO

[elfin plover]

Also kinda shocked at how small this game is filesize wise for how much is in it

It's what, 25ish gigs?

[quasi summit]

I think what makes games so large is 2 things. Unique HiRez textures and Dialoge voice lines for EVERYTHING. .. NMS has little of those

[waxen palm]

7gb on the switch

[elfin plover]

Holy crap

[quasi summit]

Isn't the switch missing large sections of content? Like settlements?

[waxen palm]

No Settlements, no MP

Which goes to show how resource intensive they found settlements to be

[elfin plover]

Question, does the GOG version of the game support online play?

[elfin plover]

Still insane they managed to jam it onto switch to begin with

[indigo shadow]

how do i summon the anomaly in an expedition?

[elfin plover]

The custom FSR implementation they used is insane stuff because it works so well. I can turn on FSR on PC and the game still looks great

Hell I can play NMS on steam deck pretty well, that's nuts to me

[waxen palm]

Yes

[indigo shadow]

.

[waxen palm]

Warp once

[indigo shadow]

kk

[elfin plover]

Oh fantastic. DRM free and supporting online play rocks. How does it like, keep track of your progress though considering you can run it without say, gog galaxy

[waxen palm]

This game can be played 100% offline

Only thing the servers do for us is serve up bases and renamed things

[elfin plover]

And the async multiplayer

But yeah I know you can turn that off

[waxen palm]

That's all P2P

[elfin plover]

Oh shit is it?

[waxen palm]

Yeah

[elfin plover]

Nice

[waxen palm]

It's handy for them, but can be a little frustrating trying to play with large groups

[elfin plover]

Honestly it's so nice that I know the game will still work in the future even if the servers go down

Which is SUCH a breath of fresh air compared to so many other games these days

Where the game disc becomes an expensive coaster once the servers die

[split rapids]

NMS will turn 10 next year iirc

[waxen palm]

Its lovely to think I can boot this up years later and still vibe regardless of internet connection

[elfin plover]

110%

Also it means that this art is preserved which is like, huge

[wraith bough]

Thats what i like the most

Bases being preserved

[elfin plover]

Mmm yeah

[wraith bough]

And they can also be imported to other programs funnily enough

[elfin plover]

Games are art and art being preserved is always good in my books

Especially when the devs have put THIS much effort into it

[wraith bough]

I'd be a bit sad if others couldn't see this anymore tho :'DD

[elfin plover]

Woah

And I was impressed at the lil mini beach house with a basement I made today LMAO

That's nuts

[wraith bough]

Best thing is, no mans sky has some black magic going on with bases and this one won't lag in most devices

[elfin plover]

Tbh the game in general performs really well

[quasi summit]

I remember release day.. 15-20 min just to load in... 6FPS if your lucky... ah

I always seem to level up on some epic lines

[elfin plover]

They have a goddamn black magic FSR implementation where you can barely tell you have FSR on because you're not spotting telltale rendering artifacts or hanky shadows etc

[quasi summit]

FSR?

[elfin plover]

Ahahah yeah those were... Days... I watched from a distance

[elfin plover]

AMD Fidelity FX Super Resolution. It's special upscaling tech

[quasi summit]

ah

[wraith bough]

The things we can achieve now thanks to the base parts they've been adding over time tho

[quasi summit]

I can't even comprehend the things people do in these games.

[elfin plover]

It renders the game assets at a lower resolution then rescales them up to the display resolution. Normally it looks a bit janky tbh with telltale jaggies, flickers and other jank but Hello Games integrated it very tightly into the game engine so it works WAY better than basically any other game I've used it with

[errant copper]

So I can breed this if anyone is interested in an egg

[quasi summit]

And it looks so much better then the AI upscaling nVidia is tossing at us

[errant copper]

And these

[elfin plover]

technically both are a form of temporal upscaling. DLSS and FSR use similar methods but Nvidia uses more AI stuff, FSR usually looks worse than Nvidia's DLSS but Hello Game's managed to implement FSR into NMS so well that it just works fantastic. I can barely tell I have it switched on

That's how this stuff SHOULD be done

[indigo shadow]

uh

i warped

still cant summon the anomaly

[waxen palm]

You broke it

[indigo shadow]

oop

nvm

[elfin plover]

Anomaly machine broked

[vocal plinth]

this one looks like a flying tank

[errant copper]

I hated this it was being a nuisance I my base lol

[wheat grove]

keeps shaking the ground? 🙂

[errant copper]

Yep plus it was just being weird

So if anyone wants an egg from fluffy DM me

I can make it bigger or smaller etc

[quasi summit]

"Hey Vykeen gu, I just did a buncha piracy in one of your systems. And uhm, here is a pile of Sentinel statues as a gift No hard feelings right?"

[lament wasp]

We not have a ground emergency shelter?

[quasi summit]

Dig a hole

[waxen palm]

We are the emergency

[lament wasp]

Mmm xD the Minecraft solution

[quasi summit]

I never played Minecraft...

[lament wasp]

I dont say what u re a mc player, i say what this is a mc solution xD im yes played mc

[quasi summit]

Ah, Well I didn't know that was a MC solution. It's what I do in NMS

[split rapids]

the south pole of a gas giant, the suns never set here, and everything is just a mellow purple

[lament wasp]

Yes but i think what if we have a underwater shelter may we can have a ground shelter

[quasi summit]

You can build your base structures underground. One of my bases is 90% inside a mountain

A butte to be precise

[lament wasp]

Sometimes there is no time to dig a hole because you may be unshielded or under attack.

[lament wasp]

But i dont ask about underground, i ask about a simple structure whitout base

[errant copper]

Dig a hole that's what I do

Then wait 😂

[lament wasp]

I have base in to a caves xD but i think, nms can add that structure, we have a exosquife for fishing for example and is super simple (literally u can fish from ur ship but we have the exosquife)

[errant copper]

Did they ever stop Terrain re spawning when we build into ground etc

[waxen palm]

No

[lament wasp]

And if your weapon isn't charged, you're out of resources because you lost everything, and on a gas giant planet? Think about it. Plus, as I said, we have an underwater shelter and a fishing structure, when you can literally land in the water and do it from the ship.

[errant copper]

One reason I build like this

Up above

[split rapids]

you can melee with your MT to mine resource if your mining beam run out of charge

that's the original purpose of melee attack i think

[lament wasp]

Without shield and low hp ? XD

[quasi summit]

If you have played the game to the point where you can access gas giants I would hope you have figured how to keep your tool charged.
And digging a hole is a lot faster then accessing the build menu, or even the summon menu.

[split rapids]

i have a solution 😛

[lament wasp]

An emergency is an emergency, so instead of having an underwater shelter, you rise to the surface, right? What's the point of the shelter then?

[split rapids]

can you build this thing on land

[lament wasp]

Rly?

I think only underwater xD

[quasi summit]

I have seen people use underwater structures on land

[lament wasp]

Letme try

[split rapids]

nope, you can't

[waxen palm]

Two step process, place base computer, place prefab

Boom, weather safe, sentinel safe

Or just hop in your ship or Exocraft

I'm all for more portable building selections tho

[errant copper]

I don't think I have ever seen a gas giant

[lament wasp]

Yeah but i ask about a emergency, when u re on extreme survival u cant lose time registering the terrain make the prefab and door, u need quick shelter

[split rapids]

yeah exocraft is your best bet

[wheat grove]

hmm well, you can just dig a hole in the ground

[waxen palm]

Lol

[lament wasp]

Yes may

[split rapids]

gas giants can be found in some purple system, which you can unlock at the end game

[errant copper]

Ah dissonance ones?

[wheat grove]

aside from minotaur, any other exocraft still expose you to outside hazards

[waxen palm]

Not with tech

[lament wasp]

Well, u can find in expeditions i think

[quasi summit]

Crap im in trouble, Summon Exocraft, Jump in. Forgot the Weather protection Mods, Use Exocraft to dig a hole, Jump in hole.

[lament wasp]

Example 16

[wheat grove]

good to know hmm

[waxen palm]

Tasty weather protection

[elfin plover]

The fandom NMS wiki is the old one now right?

[waxen palm]

It's always been the old one

[split rapids]

no, it's the new system that got introduced in WP2 (although they always have dissonance)

[waxen palm]

Cant keep updated

[elfin plover]

Have you considered submitting the Miraheze NMS wiki to indie wiki buddy so people using that extension can get redirected?

[errant copper]

Ah cool

I've yet to unlock theby

[wheat grove]

hmm okie, guess imma put in my roamer (which i frequently use to excavate fossils)

[elfin plover]

Because I had to DIG to find the miraheze one even though that's more obviously the active one

[quasi summit]

If not nomanssky.fandom then what? It has been good to me lately.

[waxen palm]

Pro tip: Double check your information here

[elfin plover]

https://nomanssky.miraheze.org/wiki/Main_Page this one seems to be the more active one

[waxen palm]

Afaik Miraheze is using commons to copy the fandom

[quasi summit]

I will add it to my library, thank you.

[elfin plover]

Still a lot nicer to use than fandom at least lmao

[waxen palm]

No ads is lovely indeed

[split rapids]

i feel like the fandom wiki still have fairly accurate info

[elfin plover]

And decent mobile formatting

[quasi summit]

I use two computers side by side, so I don't have to use mobile
