[hollow steeple]

Hey so my friend who is new just started on the expedition but didn't complete it before it ended, he just got back on today and he can't summon the anomaly to end it. I've always finished em before they ended so I'm not really sure how to help him

[modern crater]

Playing with danger.

[sleek condor]

wtf am i looking at

[storm pebble]

they respect anding pads?

[sleek condor]

genuinely confused at what that image is , is that a corvette?

[lyric thunder]

Ooo also not a Critical Planet

Fudge why does my discord keep doing that

[barren summit]

Hey, I'm looking someone to play with. Maybe even get a little crew going

[naive mist]

Ask in #nms-lfg-or-trades

[lyric thunder]

Bad timing. I'm currently at work

😭

[barren summit]

thx

[queen arch]

I've found it.

[last furnace]

Yes ahaha, a supersized super carrier corvette ahaha, just above the archive and City base we built around it lol

[last furnace]

They do, npc ships land on it

[sleek condor]

are those modded parts? how did you get it that large?

[high kestrel]

Wow that's nice

[storm pebble]

how whole thing looks <.<

[last furnace]

Its an experimental 3rd party tool someone is working on, like the NMS Builder Tool 🙂

[sleek condor]

okay so its importing blender pieces

[last furnace]

It's inspired by the ship from Tron: Legacy

[storm pebble]

There was planet Texas somewhere near Exp 19...

[last furnace]

Aye, it uses imported parts, messing around with the builder options 🙂 Game runs super smooth as well with it! Just a bit of a break on loading times

[sleek condor]

planet texas sounds like a good place to stop on the way to space mexico

[storm pebble]

And.. planet near it was called Nistr (river inEurope) O.o

[near cove]

can someone explain why the game isn’t letting me trade my titan sublight thrusters for other things?

like i have 2 but when i go to trade for other modules it doesn’t appear

[queen arch]

Because that is a basic module I believe

[near cove]

ohh ok thanks

makes sense

[queen arch]

You cannot use the "basic" modules that can be bought for units to exchange for the advanced selection

[near cove]

gotcha

[queen arch]

Even though they're not worse or anything, they just happen to be Ones You Can Buy

[smoky jasper]

holy crap its a good thing i disabled my lighting mod before uploading that base it was pitch black inside lol. i had to add so much lighting i have 12 parts left before i hit the limit but not for unmodded visitors it has a spooky vibe

mods and just overhead lighting vs no light mod and a crapload of individual lights

[junior parcel]

hey guys is there a way to fix the anomay dealer?

[smoky jasper]

he aint broke

[junior parcel]

i cant buy all upgrades because they are out of screen

[runic pumice]

yay i won the pirate lottery.

[soft warren]

Still holding back on doing the museum and temple builds i wanted.
Just cant decide on where or which planet

[smoky jasper]

oh you can still hit em from the edge unless youre in vr

[iron kernel]

Desert planet

[soft warren]

Most of em arent good looking, gotta find a good one

[junior parcel]

is there just that one at the edge? i assume there is more hidden

[keen ginkgo]

If you mean the exocraft upgrades, there is one hidden on either edge

[bright temple]

Game purchased

[keen ginkgo]

Ok I take offense to that, as desert planets have forced their way into my favored planet types

Id suggest one with cool mountainous terrain

[desert sun]

Nice, let us know how your first session goes and if you have any questions I can help

[quartz onyx]

Enjoy!

[iron kernel]

I personally like them because they feel like you're on earth

[iron kernel]

Nice
Pro tip: don't pick up gravitino balls

[junior parcel]

i was looking for the flame thrower for the minotaur

[desert sun]

No do that they're worth money

But the sentinels won't like it

[desert sun]

It's actually in the quicksilver vendor

[iron kernel]

You gotta buy it at the quicksilver shop

[iron kernel]

At all

[desert sun]

It was from an expedition but you can still get it with quicksilver

[junior parcel]

ohh okay

[iron kernel]

It also confused me at first because you can actually buy the upgrades from space stations

[desert sun]

You can

I think only after you get the flamethrower though

[iron kernel]

Sorry I meant you can buy it

You can buy it without getting the flamethrower

[desert sun]

Oh

Ok yeah I wasn't sure about that since I've had the thing since it came out

[bright temple]

Well do!

[iron kernel]

So i was confused as to why i couldn't use it

[bright temple]

Sounds good

[iron kernel]

Guys is it worth installing suspicious modules if you can afford S class ones?

Can they actually be better than S class sometimes?

[runic pumice]

yes.. but keep in mind its a crap-shoot... can also be straight junk..

[near cove]

wait how do you modify the interior of a corvette? i just finished building one but i cant take off or anything because i cant get to the cockpit?

[flat bough]

Here I am looking for the gravitino balls to wake the sentinels up 🤣

[storm terrace]

they're such a good source for money though if you can run away from them 🥹

used em as money farm until i started trading

spoiler: ||you can dig down to avoid them||

[upper locust]

working on a new corvette build

[storm terrace]

build aside, that's a lovely planet!

[bright temple]

It’s.. barely playable

On my laptop anyway

[near cove]

can someone help i cant access the cockpit to my corvette how do i customize the interior so i can get to it?

i watched a video and some guy had a ladder to get up to the second floor thru one of the titan class habs but i can’t do it

[storm terrace]

if no reply here maybe #nms-corvette-discussion would know

[upper locust]

ikr come check it out

[storm terrace]

wooooow

duude

[upper locust]

all are welcome

[iron kernel]

Yes it's a gamble
That's why I just sell them for nanites anyway

[storm pebble]

Uuh.. really? Someon reported all my planets and took over discovery or something/? I discovered system adn every planet in it 3 weeks ago. Now planets listed 2 weeks ago discovered by some $$$

(that's name , not censorship)

[storm pebble]

and I'm missing a base..

[iron kernel]

Sick shot

[keen ginkgo]

Hmmm... this kinda tempts me to try that with my original home system and planet

[last furnace]

o7

[storm pebble]

what's wrong with it?

[keen ginkgo]

The crossplay update overwrote my discovery of it to some random from the anomaly who joined a quest i initialized

[storm pebble]

Oh, it might be a crossplay thing?

[tulip oar]

Neat, but not NMS-related, should go in #off-topic-bond-james-bond, @remote peak

[remote peak]

Thanks

[storm pebble]

Looked very netease-ey

[keen ginkgo]

It was when back when that update first came out

Although I did want a different username to be listed as the discovery, because steam used my email at first

[tulip oar]

meow meow

[sleek condor]

Anybody willing to test if this is legitimate ?

51k u down is crazy

[smoky jasper]

finished the halloween base and got it uploaded

[runic pumice]

yeah im not seeing any oceans here..

and no ocean life.

[keen ginkgo]

Hmm, I should make the journey to a more populated area

[icy rivet]

Yes probably a bug. They go down to 1500 usually.

[keen ginkgo]

I just kinda wanna make the trip myself, lol

[hardy aurora]

I just joined dis server I LOVE NMS

[jaunty nimbus]

almost out of debt..

[crisp osprey]

i think it was a good idea to buy 700 wiring looms

[jaunty nimbus]

when i had to find welding soap and superconducting fibres, i jus bought up all the weirdo shit they had too, just in case.

[smoky jasper]

i wish you could have fish swim through the bubble ducts that would look so cool in there

[storm pebble]

I don't remeber that wafer having that text <.<

[keen ginkgo]

Theres a list somewhere of the stuff needed for upgrading all settlement buildings

Super useful for me because I was extremely ignorant of trade goods since I pretty much ignored that system entirely

[sleek condor]

🤷‍♂️

gundam vibes

[runic pumice]

i don't see it...

[sleek condor]

their ships , not actual gundams lol

[keen ginkgo]

Oh god... idk if this is spoilers so imma spoiler the image

[storm pebble]

yeham I decded that 😛

[keen ginkgo]

At this point I may as well just start learning to read binary and hexadecimal

[storm pebble]

20 is space, that's easy

[keen ginkgo]

Dang things pop up all the time

[storm pebble]

I can do it for roughly 25 years X3

[bright temple]

Man…

[coral notch]

The game every time someone takes a laggy glitched corvette into the anomaly:

[bright temple]

Ts not even playable

[wide token]

Binary is fun, you learn it first year of CS

[keen ginkgo]

Check your graphics settings

[storm pebble]

Hmm that's not from OVa series.Not Magellan-class line of ships. Some later Gundam?

[bright temple]

Everything on low

[wide token]

Specs

[bright temple]

What

Oh

I’m not sure, it’s a laptop so

[coral notch]

Found this awesome planet today :3

[keen ginkgo]

Well, I feel bad now, because that is something I should've remembered to warn about

But theres a few people in this server who manage with laptops

[bright temple]

It’s fine since i do have a pc

[wide token]

Do you have a dedicated gpu? Does your laptop thermal throttle?

[bright temple]

But don’t have access any time soon

[keen ginkgo]

My gaming laptop ran nms decently well

Though looking at my old screenshots I probably had everything set to standard, so make of that what you will

[bright temple]

Not to sure tbh i can try finding the exact laptop

[coral notch]

7 years ago I used to run this game on all low settings in 480p just to be able to play it on my old PC with 60fps (I wish I was joking)

[wide token]

That's good, NMS is capable of playing on potatoes, but it can also max out a lot of systems

[bright temple]

It’s runnin on 1920x1080 though, i can probably turn it down

[wide token]

720p

360p

Does it not have fsr/dlss

[keen ginkgo]

I spoiled myself with a recent tower pc upgrade, but I probably should look into a new graphics card because that is my new bottleneck, lol

[coral notch]

I can run it today with over 100 fps on max settings

oh how far I've come lmao

[keen ginkgo]

Not sure about fps but I can run everything at ultra, but it seems to crash faster

I have very little clue what triggers the crashes for me, but it seems like the same error code every time

[wide token]

Going to be a wild 2 years, when PS6 comes out and people will be playing NMS on it

[white bluff]

Still using GTX 1080Ti -- 8 year old card -- at 2560x1440 Ultra with ~75+ FPS typical. This card is the GOAT.

[white bluff]

Looks like Microsoft is letting the Xbox fade away, surprisingly.

[sleek condor]

no? i just got gundam style vibes from it , ive edited it a bit

[coral notch]

I went from a 750ti to a 9070xt my mind was blown to pieces

[wide token]

Apparently next xbox is going to be more powerful than the ps6, leaks say

[white bluff]

Well their insane Game Pass decisions had many assuming they were done with Xbox

Including myself

[keen ginkgo]

Hmm... my graphics card is a gtx 1080 but I dont see a Ti on it, lol

[wide token]

24/32gb ram, with only 4-6gb of that shared ram will be for system

rest is vram

[keen ginkgo]

Last I remember checking its an older card than this game is, lol

[bright temple]

I’ll give it a try in a few minutes

[storm pebble]

Oh, kind of.. Dagosse with less flair. That wide rounde dpart unreleased? I've missed it for mine: General Revil Jr. 😛

[keen ginkgo]

I definitely see that running nms takes up literally all the vram on the card

All 8 GB

[wide token]

90 and 10 series are stopped being supported this year 😭

[white bluff]

Yea, I had a 1080 prior, then got a 1080Ti. It's quite a bit of an upgrade, and with 11GB onboard. 1080Ti is faster than RTX-3060 for NMS and the like. And has more RAM than RTX-3080. Kinda nuts.

Regular 1080 is a nice card tho.

[keen ginkgo]

It is, its great for pretty much every other game I tend to play, I never was much of a graphics guy for games

[white bluff]

Oh? Where is that coming from?

[wide token]

Nvidia

https://www.pcworld.com/article/2589292/nvidia-just-ended-support-for-these-graphics-cards-going-forward.html

[keen ginkgo]

Oh... excellent timing then, I suppose

I just hope the new card i get won't be more expensive than this past upgrade was

[wide token]

5090 is 2k? 5080 is 1k, but scalpers

so everything is doubled

[keen ginkgo]

...

Are those top of the line?

[wide token]

Budget is like 400-500

[keen ginkgo]

Because I was more thinking of getting "better card that works really good"

[wide token]

It's tragic because the 5050 that was released in 2025 is similar performance to a 1080 🤣

e-waste

[north glacier]

hi does anyone know how to check where my starter planet is

i wanna put it in my personal wonders but cant find it at all

[white bluff]

This month. Ugh. But those with Windows 10 will still get updated drivers for one more year - happily - but not Windows 11 users (I'm on 10, happily).

“Also, we're extending Windows 10 Game Ready Driver support for all GeForce RTX GPUs to October 2026, a year beyond the operating system's end-of-life, to ensure users continue to receive the latest day-0 optimizations for new games and apps.”

Source: Nvidia

https://www.pcguide.com/news/nvidia-confirms-gtx-1080-ti-driver-support-will-be-cut-this-october-but-at-least-windows-10-users-get-an-extension/

That's a plus, at least, one more year of drivers.

[keen ginkgo]

Well, good to know I still have some options

[keen ginkgo]

Do you remember the starter planet at all?

[north glacier]

ah. actually nvm i already found it

i took a screenshot of it i think

yep got it thanks tho

[wide token]

The extra year of drivers is for the RTX gpus, 20, 30, 40, 50 series on windows 10

[keen ginkgo]

No problem, lol

[wide token]

1080 is GTX

[north glacier]

yeah lol apparently i instinctually took one when the visor repair first popped up? and i only have two save files one of which is a permadeath i started a week in to get the to live forever badge so the other one is the only one that can be my starter

[white bluff]

Oh, you're right.

[keen ginkgo]

Pretty sure the planets are technically the same between permadeath and normal, so you can find your permadeath starter too, if you remember that

Though it might already be discovered by someone else

[wide token]

It's really good though, 10 years of driver supports, verse AMD which only does 6 years for their products

[last furnace]

Good evening NMSians! Finished a bit more on one of our Capital Mega City builds!

[wide token]

@keen ginkgo Best price to performance GPU is probably the 9060 xt 16gb (amd). But if you want nvidia it'd be 5060 ti 16gb

[wide token]

New games, like Indianan jones requires 12gb and if you are planning on 4k resolution, it just skyrockets

[bright temple]

Yo future

[keen ginkgo]

See, I'm the type of person who would get these cool pc upgrades and then use them to play like HD spore

[bright temple]

It’s a AMD ryzen 5 pro radon graphics with 16 ram

For my laptop

[keen ginkgo]

Also im probably sticking with Nvidia for now, because AMD gpus seem to have issues with nms for some reason

[bright temple]

Hey..

I got it for free i ain’t complaining

[wide token]

free is good

[bright temple]

Brand new aswell

[cunning iris]

A bit off-topic, but lemme say that: when it comes to VRAM -- especially anything from NVIDIA that isn't top tier -- don't pay attention only to the ammount, look at the bandwidth.
...
runs

[bright temple]

I only played games like door kickers and low storage games

It’s playable

No lag or nun

Just not smooth

[icy igloo]

i had to deploy the resolution trick for more frames

[keen ginkgo]

Trying to think of literally any game besides nms that I'd play after getting a better graphics card, lol

As in that I'd get the card for

[cunning iris]

Evening zen because the day was long...

[gloomy basin]

What's the resolution trick?

[torn iris]

Hey does anyone want to help teach me the ropes / just have some fun in a multiplayer game?

[icy igloo]

setting the resolution to 1280 x 720

[torn iris]

Btw I just got to the anamoly

[gloomy basin]

Ah, just lowering the resolution then?

[icy igloo]

yes

[keen ginkgo]

Depending on specifics, questlines triggering in multiplayer can mess with progression

[torn iris]

Uhhh

[icy igloo]

i didnt know it was an actual thing you could do for extra frames until i started playing scp:sl

[torn iris]

I chose the atlas

[keen ginkgo]

Idk much about it, but I've been too worried to test it

[bright temple]

Game is fun

[torn iris]

Also I have a tiny corvette

8 modules

[cunning iris]

Guntie agrees.

[torn iris]

No 9

[gloomy basin]

I play @ 1366 because my laptop is a bit old

[keen ginkgo]

I made a third corvette design but it made me realize how used to having like 10+ habs ive gotten

[cunning iris]

Funny, I have the opposite problem lol.

[torn iris]

Dang I’ve only got 2 habs and 0 walkways

[keen ginkgo]

Third corvette only has two habs and I had to free-place storage containers

[nocturne jasper]

Anyone have a specific/silly goal they wish to accomplish along their travels?

[bright temple]

I will say

T

[torn iris]

Do you wanna take this to DMS?

[bright temple]

This seems less cash grabby than star citizen

[torn iris]

DMs

[torn iris]

Correct

[wide token]

I want to land on every planet in the game

[torn iris]

Holy smokes dude

[zinc sage]

ambitous as someone in the story would try

[bright temple]

Ion know about this

Literally everything is at its lowest

Oh

Oh i fixed it

I turned res scale to 50%

And wow it looks shit but so smooth

[white bluff]

Well, you gave me the worst news I've heard this week -- and that's saying a lot; I live in the United States.

[bright temple]

Games really making me walk 900 meter

[white bluff]

I wonder how long it will be before a update to the game causes a need for drivers more recent than I have? Causes the game to become unplayable on this card.

[wide token]

Got to get your steps in 🤣

[keen ginkgo]

Haha

[cunning iris]

I kinda doubt this will happen with NMS specifically, given its age...

LNF, though, I'm not sure.

[keen ginkgo]

Next tip: upgrade launch thrusters with modules whenever you can

[tiny owl]

That’s brutal. I’m playing on a switch one

[wide token]

🤷 When NMS adds new technologies that are required? Otherwise it's unlikely it'll affect NMS anytime soon? But you'll be in trouble with any "new" game

[smoky jasper]

i want to build a sea base here thats like Mana One from the meg, it reminds me of the trench

[tiny owl]

Now that would want to check out

[bright temple]

It’s lowkey -92 Celceious but my guy over reacting

Hey how do i get into first person

[zinc sage]

X button->setting->traveler/ship icon

[nocturne jasper]

🫡

God bless the endless travelers.

[tiny owl]

So any recommendations on outfitting my sentinel ship?

[iron kernel]

How deep is this

[smoky jasper]

not very like 70u

[tawny kernel]

Get one every type of starship and multi tool with 4 SC together. Sad I still can't find squid starship that fit rec

[iron kernel]

Imagine an underwater base at like 700u

No lights

[nocturne jasper]

🫡

and thank you to Hello Games for making a craftable recipe for Lithium.

I did my time in Subnautica. No thank you.

[spiral osprey]

Said hello in like 4 different servers and got ignored

[nocturne jasper]

Ignored no longer.

What's a type of frog that you like?

[spiral osprey]

Not frogs themselves but their skeletons

[near cove]

guys i just got the opportunity to buy a S class starship for 20M units do i do it

[runic pumice]

do it

[near cove]

i bought it

[bright temple]

I say

[bright temple]

Thanks

Im quite fond of this game

[wide token]

When you're not looking for something, that's when it appears 😭

[nocturne jasper]

This happened to me the other day.

I got dumpstacked a bunch of goods while in the Anomoly.

Is paying it forward good form or do people enjoy the struggle of being poor?

[near cove]

how do u send ss in this chat it doesn’t let me

[cunning iris]

You need familiar role, level 5 in this server.
For now can use #nms-media

[near cove]

oh ok

[cunning iris]

No way of knowing that. Some people enjoy gifts; some others really don't...
Check in #nms-lfg-or-trades if someone needs something, perhaps.

[nocturne jasper]

Cool! Thanks

[near cove]

wait so how rare is it for an S class starship to randomly spawn on a space station?

[zinc quartz]

not that rare?

i've seen it happen before

[tiny owl]

There’s a chart for the chances

[zinc quartz]

it's certainly more rare than any of the other kinds of starships

[near cove]

oh ok idk i saw a video online and some guy started freaking out over one idk i just saw one spawn and bought it lol

[cunning iris]

First wave is a bit rare I guess; otherwise, not so much.

[zinc quartz]

but it's not super rare overall i think

[tiny owl]

One sec I’ll find it

[near cove]

ok

[zinc quartz]

now if it's an exotic? that's pretty rare

seen that happen twice

[near cove]

the one i bought is exotic lol

[zinc quartz]

ball or squid?

[tiny owl]

I can’t post just google it the ai answer has it all there

[near cove]

uhh it’s a roundish has 2 long tall wings on the side and a big thing sticking out the front

[cunning iris]

Depends on system economy.
Three stars = 2% chance
Two stars = 1%
One star = doesn't happen
Outlaws = 5%
(Might want to ask about this in the questions channel, I'm writing from memory lol).

(edit: and indeed I was a bit wrong, corrected)

[tiny owl]

I got an lucky and got an s class already it’s not amazing but the sentinel ship is dope

[zinc quartz]

Most of my ships are s-class

[bright temple]

Where has this game been all my life

[near cove]

ok it’s a ball with 2 boosters on the back and 2 big tall wings and a long nose

[cunning iris]

Royal exotic I guess.
Or one of the mosquitoes type.

[zinc quartz]

my vette slaps

[tiny owl]

How long you in I’m at like 30 hours in. My time lies cause it keeps tmrunning if my switch is in sleep mode

[zinc quartz]

i think i have a couple hundred hours?

[tiny owl]

I’ll have all exotics by then I hope

[zinc quartz]

once you unlock portals if you're ok with using glyphs, there's places like the nms coords reddit, where you can find crashed ships that you can pick up for free

[tiny owl]

I get the charts but most of the stuff I found is trash. nice I’ll check it out.

[bright temple]

What’s a squadron?

Is that ai or crew

[tiny owl]

It’s an ai crew that fights with you

[bright temple]

Park

Peak

Absolute cinema

[zinc quartz]

portals and such

you don't have to use them

lotta people don't

[tiny owl]

Portals like the one I made on my base??

[zinc quartz]

no

you will understand when you get there

[tiny owl]

Kk

[smoky jasper]

finally got the last trade upgrade to drop from a dreadnought

[sleek phoenix]

hey guys

[bright temple]

Uhh

It ain’t much but it’s home

(Four walls and a roof)

[desert sun]

Hi

[desert sun]

First base?

[bright temple]

Yes sir

[desert sun]

Remember you can always move later

You don't have to keep your first base but I like to

[bright temple]

Right right

[neat fable]

I found a giant synthetic pet.

[sleek phoenix]

he looks like a rocket ship.

[neat fable]

yeah, i thought space shuttle

[sleek phoenix]

i just found a paradise planet 😄

atleast i think

[bright temple]

Hey how do i extract buried tech

Nvm

Didn’t let me for some reason

[rocky quest]

WOW...This game is soooo buggy...I fell right through my Freighter....LMAO

And now im stuck inside my frighter....LMAO

[cunning niche]

That sounds like Nintendo Switch.

[rocky quest]

Nope im on PC

[cunning niche]

Nintendo Switch based on some comments here appears to have some weird bugs

[bright temple]

Is it possible to just be a miner or salvager and sell my stuff

[desert sun]

If you want

[cunning niche]

I am on Series X, my major issue is that I play this game at least 5h every night, its UI is bad asf.
Checking my exosuit and alike cause the game to stop responding and sometimes a full crash the longer I play it

[desert sun]

Yeah that happens

[sleek phoenix]

you kinda expect that.

[rocky quest]

I cant even build anything on my Frighter becuase i fall through everything

[cunning niche]

What you are looking for is system based trading.
Some stuff are more valuable if sold at a Mercenaries or Explorer or Mercantile systems.
The system colour matters too, yellow, red, blue, purple, etc.
The same item might be -5% in one but +30% in another system.

Also, selling at planet trading outposts are not the best, often they pay less for my stuff than the space station.

[rocky quest]

Ok i bought this frighter and when i hit Z it tells me i dont have permission to build

[cunning niche]

Go to the computer at the bridge and hit reset base or something

then you can build

[near cove]

can someone explain why i went to like 4 red star systems and yet none of the planets have cadmium?

[desert sun]

Do they have activated cadmium?

If not it's not a red star, all red star planets have cadmium or the activated variant

[near cove]

well i’m at a system now and that star is red asf and there’s no cadmium planet

[cunning niche]

Sometimes the system colour is off coz of all the lights around, make sure the system has a K or M attached to it meaning it is a red system

[near cove]

yea that was it idk the star was red but it didn’t have a k or m

[cunning niche]

So it is not a red system, let me grab a screenshot for ya

[near cove]

yea i just went to another system that wad a red star

[cunning niche]

if you messed with this filter to show economy for example, the star system will be all over the place

[near cove]

yea i did i always turn off all those lights

idk for some reason the star was bright red

but i’ll start looking for the letter maybe it’s just a bug

[cunning niche]

This is how the game works, it must be a K or M to be considered red, otherwise, it is not a red system

[cunning niche]

Without knowing that purple system is endgame system, I swear I was seeing some system PURPLE but I didn't have it unlocked 😂
But nope, it was all because of the lights all over the place messing the colour even without touching the filter

[bright temple]

Sounds good, just gotta get passed this tutorial

Which is

Making me craft buncha stuff

All i wanna do is shoot

And trade

Shoot salvage and sell*

[cunning niche]

You seem to be new ( like me ) into this game, if you wanna just have fun you must have base sets doing mining for you.
Things you are gonna use asf the entire time: Metal plating aka ton of Ferrite Dust needed, Di-Hydrogen, Oxygen, Carbon, Chromatic Metal, etc.

Find planets with those resources, set the mining and let it be, go have fun and come back to pick things as you need it.
I just passed 244h into the game, my stuff is all from my bases mining for me while I have fun doing my things.

[near cove]

how do you add more tech slots to your corvette? do u need to upgrade its class for 10k nanites?

[desert sun]

Same way you would for a normal ship. Go to the upgrade station and click add slots, then select the slot you want to unlock

[timber haven]

Yeah its easy to end up getting sidetracked for a while.

[near cove]

doesn’t that cost like 40M 😭😭😭

[bright temple]

This is exactly what i wanna do

[desert sun]

75. Or a augmentation

[bright temple]

Is there a point where the tutorial actually stops or will it keep telling you to do stuff

[near cove]

what’s an augmentation

[cunning niche]

You need Augmentation Storage, at the Space Station you will have to pay for it, farm crashed shit, sentinel is better to drop this guy for you

[desert sun]

Item that gives you one free slot, different types for ship, suit, frieghter, and tool

[near cove]

ohh gotcha ok

[desert sun]

That image is the ship one

[near cove]

yea whenever i go and pirate freighters i sometimes get something like that

[desert sun]

Those are the ones for freighters I think that drop from dreadnoughts

[jaunty nimbus]

blue are foir starships

[desert sun]

Purple for suit and red for tool

[cunning niche]

IMHO it is the best way to enjoy this kind of game, find resource hotspot close to electromagnetic energy close by and you are done.
Some people will disagree and recommend you to have some techs that increase your mining yield, but still 100% manual, I have no time for that shit 😅
Warp to the bases, collect everything and back to have fun.

[timber haven]

Been a few weeks but it does pop out some side quests from time to time, otherwise main missions go for a while and do morph into an "endgame" point where you are done with them but they stay in your logs.
Some "main" missions go in the secondary mission category and will eventually be cleared out. That is where the side quests I mentioned go.

But you do get to some points where you can pause for a bit if need be.

[cunning niche]

Red: Mining tool
Orange: Freighter Cargo/Tech slots
Yellow: Freighter to unlock the base building/techs blueprints
Purple: Exosuit
Blue: Ships cargo and tech

Somebody correct me if I got something wrong.

[timber haven]

Yep looks right after your edit. 🤣

Ah ok

Ok so

How do i even make an automated base

[timber haven]

Thing I like about NMS is you can play at your own pace more vs. being pushed along or falling behind like some multi-player games I've played.

[bright temple]

Right

Yea

Like Skyrim

[cunning niche]

it took me I think 180h to finally finish the main storylines coz I was sooo sidetracked and I love this game for that.
I play based on my mood, resource/mining setup, sentinel farm, or just doing nothing at all

[timber haven]

Should get to a point where it will give you base development side quests, of course some of it can be unlocked in other ways also like I may have done...

[bright temple]

Cool

Thanks

[neat fable]

Yea. If you build bases for all the materials you need, plus farms for plants, you can fab stasis devices and fusion ignitors to sell for $15M each.
Once you get to this point, then money is no object, and resources are never a concern. Your personal enterprise is the real end game in NMS.

[near cove]

if you have illegal goods should i sell it to regular space stations instead of outlaw stations?

[tiny owl]

Yes

[neat fable]

yes, sell blackmarket goods in legal systems

[tiny owl]

I really need some Nantes and like 50 million units lol

[near cove]

$20 take it or leave it

[tulip oar]

meow

[neat fable]

if you have a freighter, keep the blackmarket goods in there, not in your ship or your exosuit. Then sentinels won't scan you annd attack you.

[tiny owl]

lol. I’m sadly on a switch and don’t have multiplayer otherwise I’d do it all day

[tulip oar]

[cunning niche]

I have 2.2 billion units now and largely by farming sentinels ships, a class-a will be around 42 million units.
I spent a long time farming Dreadnought Pirate Freighter for fun, it is always ~7M units + 400 nanites every ~5minutes.
I did sell some NipNip but not my thing, the two above is largely where I made most of my units

Exploring the game pays out, I have found a ton of rare items worth a few millions

[neat fable]

Yes, at a certain point, money is just stacking up.

[rocky quest]

I only have 300 Mill...LOL

[cunning niche]

I wanna reach the limit, IIRC it is 4.5 billion units just for fun
Nanite is the most pain in the arse to get, I had 80k but 50k is gone upgrading my staff to class-S lol

[rocky quest]

How do you get the Staff???

[cunning niche]

You most complete the main storylines and continue after that, there is a pin somewhere here but it is pretty much the only way

[neat fable]

I made a mould farm with 21k mould. that's 4k nanites at a time and I can cycle about once per minute. Refining takes much longer than collecting.

[cunning niche]

I have no patience for that stuff, too much effort for a somewhat okay return
I only do sentinel farming and dreadnought coz I find it fun and relaxing haha
Some days I just wanna "do nothing" like hunt Resonators 🤣

[rocky quest]

TO bad this game doesnt have RP in it....I would love to RP...

[cunning niche]

Too bad my day is only 24h, no enought time to play this game lmao

[neat fable]

There are people/groups that do RP. What do you mean in the game?

[rocky quest]

Yea...RP in the game

[timber haven]

Collecting mold is the fast part.
Refining is what takes so long.

[neat fable]

You can, you just have to find people to RP with.
Check #1418605454300549120 and #nms-lfg-or-trades
I see people on here pretty often who talk about RP. Some have built whole thematic cities and stuff.

[rocky quest]

Where do you unlock Landing Pads to put at yopur base??

[neat fable]

Yeah, I just leave a bunch in the refiners at the base to process while I'm gone, when I come back, then I pickup the refined stuff, collect more, throw it in the refiners and leave them full

[neat fable]

if you finish the base building missions, I think you should get it IIRC. Otherwise there is a station in the anomaly where you can buy the recipe.

[tiny owl]

Quests

Base computer

[cunning niche]

I watched a YT once that once you found Curios Deposits ( which grants you runaway mould > nanites for the newbies ), claim a base before mining it.
The guy was teleporting from base to base collecting them all as they return after some time. Too much work lol

Refining it tho takes forever, and the freighter refiner is death sentence, if you aren't watching it, RIP.
I leave refiners at my base running and so far it works, I go back to collect everything.

[storm pebble]

Corvetter efiners work perfectly and do not ose stuff as long as they are not on freighter

[cunning niche]

Errr nope, Corvette refiners and Freighter refiners are bugged, folks are seeing their stuff going RIP in both cases

[storm pebble]

seen that was before update

[neat fable]

Base refiners work most of the time. They can conflict if you put them too close, then things get weird. Otherwise they are fine.

[storm pebble]

They were sharing data by coords like portable refiners

I converted 180k nanites in them while doing other stuff, warping, etc. So I know 😛

Yeah before updat it was a portable efiner with 3 slots

[cunning niche]

I wished they could borrow one thing from Starfield, the refiners sending stuff to the storage instead of stopping once it reaches 4075 IIRC, this is the single annoying thing and complain around this topic

Activated Indium is 1:4 Chromatic Metal, by the time you teleported elsewhere, the refiner reached 4075 🤦

[storm pebble]

Yeah, I know. There is technical reason for that though. refines actually "do not work". Theey work when you open interface. Refines can be everywhere but your storage is in one global place

In starfiled both can exist only in one place. Storages thre are local

And due to small scale of simulation these industry lines are simulated step by step 😛

magien doing that for 400 bases (worst case) in NMS <.<

[stark hatch]

So rich I sold the 40 stasis devices I had thinking I could makes more but I just glitch and meet a money cap lmao

[storm pebble]

So it follows usual crafter\survival logic where workstation is a small storage, not linked to anything else

there is money cap?

I certainly went over 32bit cap... did you reach 64bit?!

[stark hatch]

I sold them for a few billion and it just stopped

Or million the jager makes me see a lot of numbers

[storm pebble]

you went over market cap, I guess

[cunning niche]

This took me some time to get used to and worried losing everything.
In NMS the storages are "global" no matter what and not attached to that base only, it took me some time to get used to it.

The same applies to exocraft, I use the hummer and minotaur a ton, I went back to my planet and could not summon it coz it was still "stuck" where I summoned it the last time. I had to go to the base and use the terminal to summon it back to the system I was in.

[storm pebble]

Exos aren't stuck, you need the summoning station somewhere in system with active craft.

I guess, older description worked better

[cunning niche]

IIRC, the limit is 2.3B (please check online), there is a limit and the trading station will show the value in negative so you are getting financially screwed 🤣

[neat fable]

it's 4.29B

[cunning niche]

That is for the whole game

[stark hatch]

I’m at that

[cunning niche]

To sell stuff has a limit of 2.3B cap

don't quote me, check the correct amount online lol

[neat fable]

oh, I see

[stark hatch]

4294967295

[storm pebble]

ugh..hwat platform? It's unsigned integer on pc iirc

[neat fable]

I'm not sure of the market cap before you crash it.

[stark hatch]

With I could keep going

[stark hatch]

Pc

[storm pebble]

So can't be negative.

[cunning niche]

4:29B units: Maximum for the whole game
2.1B units: The maximum you can sell, any more the terminal will show negative value. I watched a YT a few days ago showing this

[stark hatch]

Wish there was no cap

[neat fable]

The game used to be bugged, where if you hit 4294967296 it would roll back to 0, so once you had that much money, the challenge was to keep spending it so you don't roll over.

[storm pebble]

it's 32bit value. Odd that they didn't upgrade to 64bit when they upped to x64, but may be that's insider joke

[cunning niche]

I would be so f mad lmao

[stark hatch]

Can’t get my 40 stasis device back tho:(

Whatever I can just make more

[storm pebble]

tehcniclaly that's not bug, that's how math works, but yeah.. users think that 😛

[cunning niche]

Too late now, you could have reloaded the save lol

[stark hatch]

M*th 🤮

[storm pebble]

at least you don't deal with floating point.. there 4,29e+9 icreased by one would be same number 😛

[stark hatch]

Number make me go huh

I suck at math

[storm pebble]

^bane of 3d games with open world

[zinc sage]

does miner's scanned resource boost affect not scannable resources like Curios Deposits?

[storm pebble]

how it would boost it if theya ren't scannable O.o

[cunning niche]

I always loved math until at the unit, I had the worst teacher in the whole universe, she made me hate math.
I did my last exam with an Engineer teacher, It was like listening to an angel but the damage was done, I do not enjoy match as I used to

[storm pebble]

looses some grey cells there

[zinc sage]

so i can just eat a stellator and run it down with my exocraft, great

[neat fable]

the number (4,29B) is FFFFFFFF (in programmer speak). That is the max 32-bit number in programming.

[storm pebble]

if unsigned. If signed it's 7FFFFFFF. and add one to it as it was unsiged, you flip sign

[onyx badge]

after finishing my first expedition Im keen for the next lol does anyone happen to know when the next one starts

[stark hatch]

yall talking some alien language

[stark hatch]

No idea

[neat fable]

Curious deposits are boosted on radioactive planets during storms. 250%

[storm pebble]

Where portal 7FFFFFFFFFFF leads? 😛

I guess, corrupted

[neat fable]

7 is not a valid planet ID, which is the first glyph

[storm pebble]

scanned resorce boost fromtech appliec only to unitreward for scanning

[zinc sage]

effects when i am in exocraft?

[neat fable]

I think so, as long as there is a radioactive storm.

[cunning niche]

First thing to come to my mind is colours hexa values where #FFFFFF is white colour hexa value, black is #000000

You get used to those when dealing with some 3D apps

[neat fable]

yeah, usually 6 hex digits, 8 digits if there is an alpha channel

[cunning niche]

Yo, how did we move from NMS to programming lmao

[neat fable]

Have you ever wondered if some of the glitches in NMS are intentional? It is sort of the lore of the game.

[high kestrel]

Features

[cunning niche]

They are called "feature enhancement" 🤣

[storm pebble]

DId alreayd. many times. Especially refiner copy thing and altered MT rolls on scum-saving

Portable refiner is practically model of forbidden naked pointer:P

double delete!

[neat fable]

I could imagine trying to program a game to be intentionally glitchy, while still being sound. That would be a feat.

[storm pebble]

Plausible deniability tho 😛

[neat fable]

Yeah, I know Sean and HG didn't 🙂
I saw the game evolve.

[storm pebble]

well, glitch is normally a bug that doesn't damage anything, heh

[high kestrel]

Basically goat simulator

[cunning niche]

To the best of my understanding, when NMS was released, it was not ready but Sony pushed it anyway
We all have seen this repeating itself over and over, only studios that are left alone get things done right on the first try

[storm pebble]

fainting goat on Hoover Dam simulator

[bright temple]

Can’t find this fricking buried tech

[lean lily]

not really. there's a certian person who was the face of the development team who had the unfortunate habit of lying when he's nervous, and from the false expectations that this person set from the marketing, the game was never going to be "completed" on time, and it really wasn't until about 4-5 years after release

[bright temple]

Ok so far game very cool

Dunno how I’m gonna make a farm though

[storm pebble]

IE it was typical middle manager..

[lean lily]

no, it was sean murray

[storm pebble]

As developer dealt with these too.. worse when there is similar person is between us (as developers) and client.. they lie us about what client wants..

IT's some kind weird rule coming aroundHR circles, that if engineer asks something, give them half, if you want something made, ask for double..

[cunning niche]

I will believe you, all I heard was the push from Sony.
I only crossed this game after Voyager release, I was about to send a f you Xbox and teach it to fly from my balcony, but I decided to try this game and I am loving it, I play it every night.
They do need to fix this UI tho, it is buggy asf and often stops responding causing a full crash sometimes but still, it is an awesome game.

[neat fable]

the UI has been like that since day one. I find the whole UX pretty bad. This game kills my mouse button.

just put a damn scroll box in dialogs already FFS. I don't need to click 5 times to skip past everything I heard already.

[cunning niche]

Seriously, checking my exosuit freezes the whole goddamn screen, if I didn't notice and keep moving = full crash
Sometimes, it is one move = one freeze, it is better to fully close the game.
It is my only issue on a XSX, other than that, it is "perfect"

I tried moving the techs from one weapon to another, yooooo, I had to do it in parts and repeat it like 3x times coz the game would crash on me, anyway.

[neat fable]

I don't have freezing issue with the UI. Xbox is struggling a bit i guess.

[cunning niche]

It is no joke, I play it every night at least 5h or +10h on weekend, the UI goes to shit the longer I play
It is the only game that makes my XSX to crash/close the game, it is 100% a game issue.
No other game does that.

[neat fable]

That's a memory leak then.

[stiff cave]

Hey so I have a like 7 human teeth what should I do with them? I could make a necklace

[cunning niche]

there is something bad going on, I have had it since day one, NMS somehow makes the poor thing to crash

[tiny owl]

The release was bad. They were forced to release an unfinished game

[neat fable]

The hard part is to find what is leaking, so if you can reliably reproduce it, then document it and submit a bug report.

[cunning niche]

Yeah, this is the history I read about why the release was not great.

[neat fable]

Lol.

[cunning niche]

They did release some Xbox performance improvement but I saw no improvements on the UI itself

I tried playing it on Steam first but good gracious, I don't have a $10k gaming PC and it was barely making 30fps lmao
Other than the UI issue on my XSX, the game runs like a dream.

[bright temple]

Hey guys

What do you all recommend to do to make money

[tiny owl]

Now though man what a game. Like had they waited one more year it would have had far less problems and sold more. It’s the whole prerelease money money money thing

And I’m playing on switch one which compared to most stuff is weak nowadays. Though I don’t get corvettes.

[neat fable]

Yes, HG and Sean delivered and made up for the confusion. He didn't lie, but he was not clear and marketed too much too early.

[tiny owl]

Agreed. It was purely a corporate greed thing. But I’m glad it didn’t crash and burn

I’m pretty new but this game is amazing

Even solo on a slightly older patch

[cunning niche]

I mean, look the games release recently, same greedy shit.

I had trust issue coz Starfield, fk me dead, what a shit bug show that is.
I do wanna move to Steam tho to manually backup my save file, I am not starting another save and I wanna join the elite group who played this game thousands of hours, I love it.

[neat fable]

Not really. Sean is a developer. He was just sharing his vision and was passionate. It didn't occur to him that he needed to tell people that MP would not be there at launch, or that early-release would last for 5 years or longer. He's not a marketer. He was basically a one-man team back then.

[bright temple]

What would you guys recommend for beginners to make money?

[tiny owl]

I play marvel snap and it was a great game that has turned into a terrible money grab

I feel like nms could totally have been fine without multi player

Yes I bet it’s fun but don’t think it needed it

[cunning niche]

Dissonat planet, sentinel ship, spam the computer as please to get the location to a crashed sentinel ship,
You will get anywhere from 10-51M units depending on the ship class.
That will also give you a better weapon than you have now

I have the link for ya

[bright temple]

Okay thanks

[cunning niche]

Claim a base once you found that Harmonic Camp, sell the ships at the Space Station fro scrap = easy money
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2bnKMcL2tTA

[neat fable]

Make chlorine. You need a medium refiner.

[rocky quest]

Ok any reason i can build the Circle room foundation on the ground but wont let me build it levitated???

[storm pebble]

Oh god, why I am a Gek

[cunning niche]

that sounds like you are using an aquatic room

[storm pebble]

It appears not building or? Foundations kinda laggy

[bright temple]

Bruh i gotta buy micro processors somehow

For 130k

[cunning niche]

what?? lol

ohh never mind

[bright temple]

To install my hyper drive

Yea

[rocky quest]

When i place the foundation right on the ground its green like i can build it...But the momment i try to levitate it it goes red

[neat fable]

oh that beginner..
you should make a microprocessor. you don't have the recipe?

[bright temple]

Don’t think so

[cunning niche]

don't you have access to the Anomaly Station??

[storm pebble]

hmm.. pcpu recipe is from overseer, no?

or anomaly, yeah

130k kinda steep.

[rocky quest]

I want to build the circle room on the roof og my Wooden base....But it wont even tlet me do that.....Why????

I cant even build the foundation on the roof

[cunning niche]

You should have access to the Anomaly Station, if you don't, focus on the storyline until you get access to it
Or your life will be much harder haha grab the blueprint there and you are set
https://nomanssky.fandom.com/wiki/Space_Anomaly

[bright temple]

No..

[north crest]

So I found some sorta planet conjoining thing going on

[bright temple]

Wait i am at a station

I’m at a space station

[north crest]

And I can’t send a the video

[bright temple]

Ooh okay cool

[cunning niche]

Nope, Anomaly Station.
Yeah, for real, continue the main storyline until you get access to it, blueprints from it will make your life soooo much easier and in most case it is the only place you can get them from

[rocky quest]

Is there somthing specual im suppose to buil to let me levitate my Folundation to the circle room??

[bright temple]

Man what even is the main story

I’m pretty sure it’s asking me to make a hyper drive

Is that not the main story

[neat fable]

Ok, I thought the recipe for microprocessors was part of the main early game tutorial. It is not. It is from the scientist overseer. Or the anomaly if you want to skip the intended mission path.

[cunning niche]

show your Log from the game

[bright temple]

No pic perms but it’s saying to install my hyper drive

[neat fable]

I think if you haven't repaired the hyperdrive yet, you are supposed to find one in the random cargo drops.

[bright temple]

Or get 130k..

[cunning niche]

I do not remember having to have all this money at the very start

[bright temple]

Well i need five

[cunning niche]

to continue the history

[bright temple]

And each cost like 30k

[cunning niche]

hold up, I have a cheaper solution

[bright temple]

Will do

Gotta repair my landing gear anyway

This gonna be a nuisance to

[neat fable]

what mission are you on?

are yyou just winging, or are you following the in game guidance?

[bright temple]

Doing whatever the game is telling me to do rn

Which is uhh

[cunning niche]

You need to find these boxes all over the planet, they do drop microprocessor like plague and it is free

[bright temple]

Awakenings

Mission^

[bright temple]

Oh i thought they only drop scrap

[cunning niche]

I got both, Scrap and Microprocessor

sometimes Iron battery too

[neat fable]

you take the scrap so you can unlock it, then you can open the container. 2 steps

[bright temple]

Oh.

you do need the atlas pass tho

[neat fable]

oh yea

[cunning niche]

OP should be good to continue, they are all over the planet

[bright temple]

Well now i just got find a bunch

[cunning niche]

there are often 2x boxes, and you should find them not far one from another.
I mean, you do need to explore the game and get used to it

[neat fable]

did you say you were at a space station? how did you get there if you haven't repaired the landing thrusters yet?

or you meant you found a facility on the planet

[split rapids]

such a friendly planet

[timber haven]

I swear that thing makes the game look P2W as a brand new player... Then you find out you can make it but would have been handy right away.

[bright temple]

I mean it’s at 25% and i gotta repair it

[bright temple]

That’s fair

[split rapids]

ah, that's fuel i think, you repaired it

[bright temple]

Oh

[cunning niche]

As a die hard Tomb Raider player, I freaking hate this approach.
If you don't wanna me to access something, don't put it in the game then until I have access to it.
Then you have to come back later to access it like the Atlas Pass V3, anyway, I do find that mega annoying 😅

[storm pebble]

I;m 8 minutes in new game, already founda CPU, heh

[bright temple]

Just gotta find them micro thingys for gen

Stupid guys keep attacking me

[neat fable]

yea, you just gotta charge your thrusters. You need starship launch fuel.

[timber haven]

Been burned by too many games that looked fun but had stuff behind paywalls.
I think they could have done a slightly better approach to it, like giving the blueprint early on even if you didn't get the resources right away.

[cunning niche]

@bright temple for future reference if you get really stuck, there is the channel #nms-questions
You question kind got lost at first, IIRC you asked it twice.
This is a somewhat more general NMS channel

[neat fable]

You never come back to those things. In NMS you just keep moving forward. Don't look back.

[split rapids]

you can infiltrate secured factories and get the blueprint iirc

[bright temple]

Ah okay sure thing I’ll use it next time

[vestal shuttle]

now that i have found my first portal, shouldn't be easy to find them on other planets?

[timber haven]

Well, not everyone knows that so...
I picked it up at the anomaly.

[cunning niche]

The problem is that many times it is fun at first and then once the players get used to it ................ 🤑🤑 🤑 🤑 🤑 🤑
NMS so far seems to be doing the opposite

[split rapids]

is that a portal or a teleporter?

[cunning niche]

There is nothing wrong asking here but it is very easy for folks to don't even see it, that is what I meant to use the support channel if you get stuck again

[vestal shuttle]

portal, with glyphs

[neat fable]

There is a portal on every planet. You need to do some work to locate it but you don't have to guess. You need to find a monolith, solve the riddle and then give it a relic and it will give you the portal location

[vestal shuttle]

a monolith is how i found the one i have now, but i want to find the one on my base planet

[timber haven]

Kind of impressive actually how they are bucking the trend but they did well making a game that has a lot of longevity.
Still adding new things, even though it is pay once and free content after.

[vestal shuttle]

i found this one by luck

[cunning niche]

yes and no, you will need the Alien chart to take you to a monolith, interact with it once, then again, give the gift and voila

[neat fable]

the first one is a tutorial how to find them. the tutorials in this game are subtle.

[split rapids]

you can use that portal to teleport to your base planet (if you have the address), it will teleport you to your base planet's portal

[timber haven]

Has a mission to take a picture of a portal once, no joke...

[neat fable]

I think the challenge now will be unlocking all the glyphs. Unlocking the portal doesn't grant the glyphs.

So while you can find them now that you know how, you can't use them until you have the glyphs that the address uses.

[cunning niche]

You will need to buy the charts at the space station, Alien charts and do everything you did at the monolith to show you a portal on that planet

[vestal shuttle]

guess i was lucky to stumble onto the monolith when i did. considering i've only been playing for 3 days

[cunning niche]

I watched something about it, by making the releases free you are inviting more people to buy so it is not really free depending the way how you see it.
It is a win-win

[cunning niche]

This games rewards you for exploring it, I find exosuit pods like plague on planet, I do not use charts.
I am only 244h in and most of my stuff was found before the game even wanted me to have them
When I first build my first base, the base computer sends you all over the place to collect stuff, I had all of the stuff already in my storage 😅

[neat fable]

the way the tutorials are structured, there is a scripted way but most missions are ad-hoc and can be triggered by relevant actions, like finding a monolith and triggering the portal discovery tutorial.

[vestal shuttle]

I will amp up my exploring, and work on unlocking the glyphs.

[bright temple]

Ooh okay i understand

[lyric thunder]

I unlocked purple systems

[bright temple]

Thank you

[lyric thunder]

📣

[bright temple]

Also i haven’t found a single micro thing

Gah

[vestal shuttle]

I've been so focused on building a fortress, i've been ignorng everything else

[lyric thunder]

It means no Worries.
For the Rest of your Days.

[cunning niche]

Keep open eyes when visiting the Space Station for anybody looking "different" than the rest.
Have a chat with them, interact with them twice and have some ninetes 😉
Without spoiling too much but if you wanna all 16 glyphs at the very start of the game, that is the way.

[vestal shuttle]

thank you

[cunning niche]

|| Ask where they are from for 10 nanites IIRC||

[bright temple]

Okay here’s my thoughts

Instead of me finding the micro stuff

I’m finding stuff like relics

Which i believe i can sell for like 20k

[split rapids]

you need to pay them 100 nanite to do that in normal difficulty iirc

[cunning niche]

Some things are broken tho, there is a mission that you must visit a Harmonic Camp but player after player get stuck coz the game never tell them to do it so. I didn't have the problem coz I have visited a ton of harmonic camp and the first one "unlocked" that.

I got my living ship the other day and at no moment it says that you must go to a portal, nothing. I was warping left and right like fu until somebody mentioned it to me

[hardy tendon]

Guys the weird looking hole in the sky is eating everything ;-;

[spice fog]

Why is my settlement commercial building need a mind control device to upgrade???

They arent trying to manipulate the market now are they?

[split rapids]

the end is near

[cunning niche]

oopss

[vestal shuttle]

why does my game keep crashing? is it my ps4 or is it some bug?

[hardy tendon]

Guess I'll die

[neat fable]

if you collect enough stuff to sell so you can buy them, before you find microprocessors. Then do that. If you want to do the quick cash way, then maybe look for buried technology, then you can sell that for a good amount.

I think you should have the analysis visor, so you should be able to use it to look for buried technology.

[timber haven]

Oh the fun of building an extractor base on an extreme planet with frequent storms... However I will have plenty of lithium from now on.

[bright temple]

Oh fuck

[cunning niche]

it is weird tho, the game at the start is pretty linear, you don't need to do weird shit to get going

[bright temple]

Why when i go to sell something

It’s at max

Like as much as i have

And not 1

Nah it’s a rhetorical question

But yes mb

Cuaght me off guard that it sells at max capacity

Just sold all my salvage data lol

[timber haven]

You can change that, but defaults to the max. Buying is 1 by default.

[split rapids]

i forgot to tag that person

[cunning niche]

We have been there 🤣

[split rapids]

you should ask around in #nms-questions, people there have more experience dealing with that stuff

[timber haven]

At least it is easy enough to get with some time.

[cunning niche]

Just don't make the mistake of buying thinking that you are selling, don't ask me how I did that before units were never seen again.

[clever merlin]

How to make chromatic metal????

[bright temple]

Rip

[bright temple]

Ah okay

[bright temple]

Copper in a refiner

I’m doing that right now lol

[sleek quest]

Copper, Cadmium, Emeril, Indium or Quackzite in a refiner

[cunning niche]

Only until you get access to blue system, don't make the same mistake as I did
copper is 1:1 IIRC, Activated Indium from blue system is 1:4 chromatic metal

Activated Indium and Activated Quatzite is 1:4 Chromatic Metal

[sleek quest]

Copper refines 2:1
Cadmium refines 1:1
Emeril refines 1:2
Indium refines 1:4

Act Indium refines for more no?

[cunning niche]

Only unitl you don't have access to blue system, poor conversion rate otherwise

Activated Indium and Activated Quatzite is 1:4 Chromatic Metal

[split rapids]

1:8 iirc

[keen ginkgo]

No

Its 1:4

[sleek quest]

Then what's basic Indium?

[keen ginkgo]

But theres better recipes for higher output

[sleek quest]

1:3?

[keen ginkgo]

Cadmium is also 2:1

But the speed is faster, I think

[split rapids]

ah normal indium is 2 : 4, activated indium is 1 : 4

[neat fable]

I think there's a 2-ingredient recipe for 'expansion'.. Anyways the answer is copper, if someone is asking, lol.

[keen ginkgo]

Activated indium and pure ferrite makes 8 chromatic metal

[cunning niche]

Anything other than Activated Indium and Activated Quatzite will have poor rate
I was using copper which is the worst

[hardy tendon]

John 1:3 "Blow them space boys up."

[keen ginkgo]

And then indium or quartzite with gold and silver makes 30 chromatic metal

[neat fable]

copper is the introduction way of refining chromatic metal. you dont' have access to the other minerals at that time.

[bright temple]

Bro

[bright temple]

Ah okay thanks

[timber haven]

At the start most advanced recipes can't be used due to a lack of a larger refiner, but some rocks give chromatic metal as well.

[halcyon tide]

rate my helicopter
-# it's so bad lmao

[keen ginkgo]

Definitely get a medium refiner though, the middle type recipes still give higher output

[cunning niche]

Once you learn the recipes for the refiner, everything gets easier.
Very few bases and refiner refining things

[sleek quest]

You only need a portfiner for making chrom

[keen ginkgo]

For much much higher ratios a large works best

[timber haven]

Yep, for basic conversion.

[sleek quest]

Yes but at the start a new player won't have access to a beegfiner

Or even a midfiner

[cunning niche]

Some planets do have Chromatic Metal as deposits to be mined from, the same for Rust Metal if you wanna something faster but you still need to find those planets

[keen ginkgo]

The secret is corvette, lol

[sleek quest]

Oh right lol

I love fishing from my vette

[keen ginkgo]

Yeah but corvette lets you mix copper, gold, and silver to make 5 chromatic metal

[cunning niche]

This is what I have been doing now, I got S copper, B gold and S silver
I let the refiner doing its thing while I am having fun, I am trying to use more recipes instead of having 400 bases

IIRC, gold and silver = platinum instead of bloody asteroids
but don't quote me on that

[keen ginkgo]

Quartzite or indium works much better

[cunning niche]

yeah, 1 Gold + 1 Silver = 1 Platinum
I needed a ton and was not happy to mine asteroids lmao

[runic pumice]

yeah really feel like the refiner and microwave thingie on refiner need to be locked behind something beside just buying a hab module and a cockpit and stuff.. kinda unbalances the progression the way it is now.

[keen ginkgo]

Easier way is breaking down complex alloys

Geodesite and iridesite turn into 250 platinum each

[storm pebble]

damn.. just my luck

[timber haven]

Yes, does work.
I have found certain asteroid fields that are made up of roids that only drop gold or platinum however.

[cunning niche]

Yeah but themselves do require some stuff, there is a limit for where to how far I wanna go with the rate output
If I have to do too many process to get what I want, I prefer to have a more poorer output and call it a day

[cunning niche]

I found that by accident, I do have class-s silver and B gold which is perfect.
Freighter base uses silver like fu

[idle pecan]

Is there any other way to unlock the Nutrient Processor other than going to the Anomaly? I am doing a very restrictive run rn and I'm "not allowed" to use the Anomaly at all.

[runic pumice]

the one in the corvette is the only other way from what ive seen. or are you refferring to the exosuit thing?

[idle pecan]

Nah just the processor so I can cook

[runic pumice]

then nope.

truthfully the way teh game is now you kinda have to go at some point.

[keen ginkgo]

Yeah, not all tech is available without going to the anomaly

[idle pecan]

Well I'm not doing the main story, just doing a challenge run. Nutrient processor would make it a bit better but I guess I cant

[neat fable]

corvette is the way then.. not sure if you can complete the game without going to the anomaly

[runic pumice]

hmm theres one built into the skiff also.

[neat fable]

you get that at the anomaly

[bright temple]

We up

[runic pumice]

yep

[bright temple]

Now i just need

[storm pebble]

but skiff now is anomaly afaik

[bright temple]

Some auto mated farms

[storm pebble]

before we coud get tha stuff from factories?

[runic pumice]

maybe make it so anomloy has a penalty for your run.. like make it cost you a full stack of tritium or something

[idle pecan]

I can only get tech/blueprints from crashed ships, graves, or various buried caches. So probably unable to get a lot of stuff.

[neat fable]

well the nutrient processor certainly isn't required to progress. why do you need to cook?

[idle pecan]

I want it for extra storage, and for some actual food buffs

[tired bloom]

i was at the galactic hub euclid planet tonight and saw a guy with a 900+ part replica of the SpaceX Starship. absolutely wild. tallest corvette build i have ever seen anywhere

[neat fable]

or maybe I'm mistaken. there may be one or two quests that require you to cook stuff.

[tired bloom]

it took 10+mins to fully load in for me

but there was a lot of ppl there

[idle pecan]

And im not doing any quests. My goal is to reach the final galaxy on permadeath mode without doing most of the quests, no space stations, no anomaly, no interaction with NPCs. Exceptions are pirates and pirate stations.

[tired bloom]

if u just want the achievement the cheesiest way to do it is by just space station hopping until u meet a traveller. pay the nanites and go to his grave. unlock the first rune, then buy alien charts, locate a portal, use the first rune repeated and you'll be 5k ly from the center.

you might have to travel to about 20 space stations before u find a traveller wandering around

but thats still a lot faster than just warping all the way to the center

[idle pecan]

As I said before I am not allowed to visit space stations lol unless it's a pirate system.

[tired bloom]

oh sorry i didnt scroll up

[runic pumice]

well good luck with that quest then...

just reaching the center on the first run will take you a good long time..

[neat fable]

I think that the first portal address you are supposed to visit is 000000000000, since that is the first glyph you get (glyph 1 = 0), which takes you to the center.

[idle pecan]

Im in the 3rd galaxy already

Just wanted to see if the nutrient processor is obtainable any other way for some extra storage and a few food buffs

[cunning niche]

Freigher, when you take its ownership, it comes with the nutrient processor IIRC
it is the only thing that comes with it, the plant parts, nothing else

[idle pecan]

Dang cuz freighters are another restriction lol I cant use one

[cunning niche]

Well......shit!

[idle pecan]

Lol it's an Extreme Fugitive run, lots of restrictions.

[neat fable]

you should be able to get a corvette, then you can install a kitchen

[idle pecan]

I technically could build a corvette, if I go to an abandoned system. But one of my other "rules" makes getting a corvette a waste of time cuz i have to scrap every single ship I own before going to the next galaxy (minus the ship I warp in).

[bright temple]

Oops

[neat fable]

not sure you can visit the anomaly if you haven't done the quest-line yet. You should have an option to summon the anomaly in the same menu where you summon your ship or change multi-tools, etc

[runic pumice]

wait pirate stations have corvette pads dont they?

[keen ginkgo]

Yes

[idle pecan]

Ummm I think so... not sure if you can build tho

[bright temple]

Thought was in the other channel

[keen ginkgo]

But no teleporter

[runic pumice]

you can build

just have to walk to the pads.

[cunning niche]

There is no much options left:

• minor settlements might give its blueprint
• manufacturing facilities ( I doubt it will be easy)
• a base will allow you to have a nutrient processor but I doubt it will that easy

[idle pecan]

Yeah I cant go inside most buildings so facility is a no go. I could try the base computer quest maybe. See what it gives me

[keen ginkgo]

Since when can minor settlements give portable tech blueprints?

[neat fable]

Well I dunno if you are setting these rules for yourself, or how you want to try to bend them, but it's free to create a new corvette, you can disassemble and kep the parts you need to reassemble after changing galaxies.

[keen ginkgo]

Are you able to completely disassemble a corvette?

[runic pumice]

pray tell how do you disassemble a corvette?

[cunning niche]

Base computer seems to be the option left but I am not sure how deeper it goes

[idle pecan]

Hmm this might be an idea. I need to start gathering ship parts and try it

[keen ginkgo]

Tbh I would really like the ability to "scrap" a corvette and it just gives all the pieces back

[idle pecan]

These are self imposed rules, I just follow them with integrity lol.

I make new ones on the fly with some exceptions

[keen ginkgo]

Hmm, not sure how far youll be able to get with the base quests

[fluid mason]

I got rid of my spare corvette by dis assembling it, building it again with the cheapest parts and then swapping it to an NPC and selling his ship

[keen ginkgo]

Unless pirate stations are okay to visit?

[idle pecan]

Yeah I can visit pirate stations

[neat fable]

I mean you can just go into edit and delete the parts, and they go back in the inventory. Until you just have an invisible shell left then you scrap it

[keen ginkgo]

Tbh I dont know if you can recruit terminal npcs from pirate stations, lol

Never really tried

[neat fable]

you can find them at trading posts

[keen ginkgo]

Also what's the reasoning behind the no freighters restriction?

[storm pebble]

There are npc there, the specialists are on normal sations or veeery rarely on freighters

[idle pecan]

Getting a freighter requires interaction with npcs

[keen ginkgo]

Oh, so the general idea is as little npc interaction as possible?

[idle pecan]

And kind of negates the whole "lay low" as a pirate thing

[keen ginkgo]

I believe freighters can lay low

[idle pecan]

Yeah basically im constantly on the run as a fugitive

[keen ginkgo]

Especially because they are literally mobile

[storm pebble]

then that's a dead end no? can't unlock systems

[keen ginkgo]

All I know is I wouldnt be able to adhere to that rule specifically, lol

[idle pecan]

Yeah but to get a freighter i have to rescue npcs or attack other pirates. Im a lone wandering fugitive

It's also imposed to make it more challenging.

[keen ginkgo]

Yeah, I figured, I just really like base building and freighters are one of those things, lol

[storm pebble]

But what is the end goal of run in this case? Can't reach galaxy core this way

[idle pecan]

What you mean can't reach galaxy core? Im in the 3rd galaxy rn

End goal is to reach final galaxy without dying or breaking my rules

Or before I get bored lol

[keen ginkgo]

I just realized this is like a more convoluted abandoned mode

[storm pebble]

Abadoned mode drops dtech in POI which you can get only from NPC

[idle pecan]

I want to try an abandoned run too at some point. Rules would be different tho

[cunning niche]

Easy, you never mentioned that you cannot use black holes!!
It will take you closer to the galaxy core, not exactly in a linear line but closer, a few jump and you are there faster than any other way, no NPC, no base, nothing, just black holes.

[keen ginkgo]

I find it very ironic that the expedition that introduced abandoned mode as a concept rewards you something you literally cannot use in abandoned mode

[idle pecan]

No need for black holes. My rules for galaxy hopping at the start are I need 4 glyphs unlocked per jump, I can find graves by myself still for the glyphs, after all 16 glyphs I need 1 grave per galaxy.

[hardy tendon]

What's the reward?

[keen ginkgo]

The ship of the damned frigate... which you can only use if you have a freighter

[idle pecan]

Portals are easier, punch in 16 of the same symbol takes you 5000 ly from center

[hardy tendon]

That's funny ngl lmao

[keen ginkgo]

I dont think they mentioned actually using portals, lol

[cunning niche]

ohhhhhh

[keen ginkgo]

Though idk if interacting with monoliths counts as npc interaction

Oh wait, lol

I lost track of who is who

[cunning niche]

I mean, I found portal without any help so, no monolith, just "oh, hight there"

[idle pecan]

Im the one doing the challenge run lol. Portals are allowed, they are essential to the run.

Npc's are physical beings, monoliths are okay

[keen ginkgo]

And to think my idea of a challenge run was "corvettes only asap"

[split rapids]

i might try to go to the galaxy core with just my starship, that will be a fun challenge

[idle pecan]

The tough part is I have to find all these things (graves, monoliths) manually, without maps or npc's

[cunning niche]

A guy tried to reach the sun only with pulse engine, I would have gotten depressed lmao

[keen ginkgo]

I was about to mention a way to do so before I remembered, lol

[keen ginkgo]

That would be because the stars are part of the skybox

[neat fable]

I started trying that and then I realized I'd need to jump like 200x

[keen ginkgo]

Thats why my plan is to jump to the core using my freighter

[neat fable]

yeah, thats at 3 to 5000ly per jump

[keen ginkgo]

5k ly is about double what you can reach in a starship

[neat fable]

you start about 650,000ly from center

[keen ginkgo]

700,000 seems more common for me, lol

[neat fable]

my corvette will jjump 2500ly and a blackhole will move you 5000ly

[cunning niche]

I found my first glyphs by pure accident and didn't know wtf it was
Monoliths are easy to find without map and often the ship scanners reveals then, I just fly low and slow, that is how I find most of my stuff for free.

What sucks is that when I really need to find what I need, everything disappears 🤦

[keen ginkgo]

So a freighter is basically a manual black hole jump

[split rapids]

a mere 200 jumps, that will be a short challenge

[keen ginkgo]

Cuts the jump number in half

[neat fable]

and a freighter can do a little more than 5000ly if tuned

[keen ginkgo]

And jumping in a freighter prevents things like fights from slowing you down

[idle pecan]

Yeah monoliths I find constantly, graves are the problem. I run around on foot for hours usually lol. Very rewarding when you do find one tho. Challenge runs make the game a lot more interesting.

[rocky quest]

WOW...Now i screwed....LOL

[split rapids]

you can avoid high conflict systems, and you can use emergency warp if you jumped into a battle

[cunning niche]

There is nothing I hate more than the UI drama in this game than when I wanna do my things and bruuuuu I need to take down the pirates bullying NPC 🤦
Freighter stops that

[keen ginkgo]

Too slow and not as far warp range

[rocky quest]

My boy just got on my game while i was smoking and spent all my units on Ship Storage......Grrrrrr....LMAO

[keen ginkgo]

If I have a location in mind, I'm jumping for it to the best of my ability

[cunning niche]

I don't even know where to start coz even the ones at the space station, there are only some that do have it so it is hard to know the pattern.
Like the guild farm, it took me ages to learn that guild dominates parts in the galaxy map making life sooo much easier.
Try to find if there is a pattern for the grave in any way, just by luck is gonna be not fun haha

[neat fable]

You find then in caves

[keen ginkgo]

Nah, graves are frequently in craters, which can intersect with cave openings

[cunning niche]

Mines were either moon or planets, never caves.

[cunning niche]

There are better ways to do that, using all the units/nanites at the start will make your life harder later when specially nanites is required a lot

[idle pecan]

Yeah it takes forever to just find one by luck, but boy does it feel good to see that grave symbol in the scanner screen lol.

[rocky quest]

Yea my boy is only 9...He didnt know that....LOL

[zinc sage]

does jumping in around level 3 conflict systems for frieghter storage dreadnought farm?

[cunning niche]

ooopz lol

[bright temple]

Play

okay*

First day of no man sky

Very good

Can see how people see it as 10/10

[rocky quest]

Yea...I went from 400 Mill to like 2 mill.....I was like Nooooooo....LMAO

[bright temple]

Unfortunately i cannot rate graphics since my res is 1620x1080 50% res scale…

[idle pecan]

Only the initial 16 glyphs will take a while, after that my rule is to visit only 1 grave per galaxy. Before then, I need 4 glyphs per galaxy before I'm allowed to warp

[tulip oar]

good morning

[bright temple]

Other than that

Fantastic game

[tulip oar]

indeed

[cunning niche]

Focus on unlocking the explorer guild at the space station by donation stuff, they give for free once you reach a certain rank: Ship Augmentation storage, Freighter storage and Frigate module for the freighter.
You do this once and never have to buy a single storage again.

I unlocked all 3 guilds, it did take me hours and tons of donations but my mining tool slots, exosuit slots, ships slots, freighter slots are all free.
Now I still collect them and sell

[bright temple]

Would enjoy more on a computer that actually runs 😭

[tulip oar]

moment

[bright temple]

I found some ship

[bright temple]

Pretty sure i should repair it

[bright temple]

I dont think ive found a grave actually inside a cave

[bright temple]

Alr so yea

[neat fable]

I have

[cunning niche]

Mines, 8 until the game unlocked everything, were all found on the surface, nowhere else

[bright temple]

Gonna repair this ship

I don’t actually like it though since it’s weaker

But a ships a ship

Might sell it

[neat fable]

the thing is that most players just don't generally frequent caves, so they aren't finding the graves there. Me too

[tulip oar]

can always upgrade it

[bright temple]

It’s a cargo type

So

Maybe

[tulip oar]

haulers have pretty good inventory space

[bright temple]

However i just wanna find a nice planet and park my ships like i park my cars

And make a nice base with automated mines

[tulip oar]

sounds fun

[neat fable]

if you want to automate, you will need many bases. different planet types have different minerals

[bright temple]

I see

I’ll watch a yt

[neat fable]

all planets in a yellow star system will have copper.
lush planets will have parrafinium and star bulb, plus one other mineral, like cobalt or salt, or silver, etc. there will also be oxygen on most planets, once you can do deep mining. these planets will also have nitrogen gas, iirc.
scorched planets will have phospherous and cactus flesh, and sulphurine.
toxic has ammonia and fungal mould and I forget which gas..
frozen planets have dioxite and frost crystals, and radon gas.

red stars have cadmium instead of copper, green stars have emeril, blue has indium and purple stars have quartzite, helium and lithium.

[cunning niche]

I was gonna claim a base to mine phosphorous only to learn that I could refine some mineral together and voila.

[neat fable]

you can just refine almost everything if you are willing to do the work

[cunning niche]

Dioxite and Ferrite Dust/Pure Ferrite: Phosphorous
I have both Class-S mining going and it refines pretty fast so I do that when I need it

[fluid mason]

Many minerals can be manufactured. Oxygen is often needed. Oxygen is about the most useful element IMO

[cunning niche]

I have no patience for plants harvesting, well, you can actual do the same with the refiner
I am starting to do that instead of planting everything which is a pain and take too much space
