[neat fable]

oxygen and carbon are the staples for most of the usefuul recipes, like expansion and conversions, yeah.

[zinc sage]

does ch4 in purple stellars useless after tech upgrades?

[neat fable]

yes, I think there is not much value in it to farm.

[fluid mason]

Yep and you can make the carbon from the oxygen if you have enough 🙂

[keen ginkgo]

It can be used for some efficient conversion refiner recipes

[neat fable]

i think it generally is no different than indium

no wait, quartzite is the counter part, the activate mineral

[fluid mason]

Can you do the indium/gold/ silver recipe using CH4 instead of indium for the 30x chromatic metal output?

[neat fable]

you can make activated quartzite, lithium and uranium from ch4, as the main recipes.

use quartzite to make chromatic metal. quartzite is the stellar metal for purple systems

and yeah, it makes x30

oh duh.. I thought ch4 was crystalised helium. it's methane
so methane just acts like other gases in the recipes. dont think there is a difference.

[cunning niche]

I have totally ignored gases, I only have oxygen mining coz it is used everywhere.
helium, methane, random I get from the Freighter Stellar refiner lmao
I know, it is terrible coz it depends on the system colour you are in.

[keen ginkgo]

I think methane is more potent than the other gasses? At least it seems that way to me

[cunning niche]

I have not found use case for them tho other than oxygen, I may have used helium, nothing else

[neat fable]

dont think so. if you want to make star bulb, it's 1 parrafinium and 1 methane. pretty sure you can replace methane with any gas. similar for the other recipes

[cunning niche]

Nitrogen is the one I used, not helium

[neat fable]

gases are used for advanced production to eventually make stasis devices and fusion igniters.
other than random crafting besides that, or minor quest objectives, I don't know what the gases are used for.

[keen ginkgo]

Ok I did more checking and it looks like methane makes (for some reason) a lot of sodium nitrate recipes

Importantly, it can make sodium nitrate from things other than sodium

Wait no, all the gasses can do that

[cunning niche]

sodium nitrate and sodium are the only ones I need to find a solution for, I have no mining/refiner going on for them

[neat fable]

yeah, it looks like methane substitues for nitrogen

[keen ginkgo]

Wait its just nitrogen and methane

I guess the main unique uses for methane is making activated quartzite or transmuting lithium and crystallized helium between each other

[cunning niche]

last night, I had to refine sodium nitrate back to sodium coz I ran out 🤦
sodium + antimater casing + nanotube = unlock exosuit pods

[keen ginkgo]

The gasses also generally seem to be used for transforming ferrite into localized earth elements

Or at least common elements into localized ones

I still must find out if my no mans skyblock challenge is possible, lol

[cunning niche]

a little longer and we are becoming chemistry specialist lmao

[keen ginkgo]

I literally consider all of these to be forms of refiner alchemy

[neat fable]

in general, if you have the basic elements, you can produce most other elements. like ferrite + biome gas = biome mineral

[finite ibex]

h

is no mans sky turing complete?

i will make minecraft in no mans sky using the logic gates/

[neat fable]

maybe? I don't think so. I think you can do all the gates

[finite ibex]

wait

there is a limit to the gate numbers isint there

:(

no minecraft in nomans sky for me

[neat fable]

timers, loops and branching would be hard.

[finite ibex]

in theoery yes.

but i cant make a computer for the life of me. let alone a 32 bit one

i max out at 5 bits

[neat fable]

nms building is just not conducive. I don't know about limited gates, but it would be finnicky to setup pulses and things.. you can use beatbox for timers but, then you want latches and stuff too...

[finite ibex]

it is very doable, but you would have to rework everything around the gates available

and like,

no

[neat fable]

thats what I mean. it would be finnicky

[finite ibex]

itd delete my sanity

yea.

mabye in a external base editor. youd still need logisim to work it out first

[cunning niche]

it depend on how good your creativity is.
Some bases in this game makes you question: what isn't possible in this game??

[finite ibex]

we are talking about making a functional computer that can play minecraft in no mans sky unmodded.

[cunning niche]

I have not played minecraft lol
saw some YT so idk what that takes haha

[neat fable]

someone made DOOM in Factorio, and a video player. and a 32-bit computer

using the games electrical, signal and switching systems

I've seen similar in other games, like Terraria

making minecraft would probably not be doable, or at least it would have to be very minimal and only representative.

too much data

I mean if you can make pong in NMS or in any game, even one like factorio that is fairly well-suited , I'd be very impressed.

[inner pumice]

I used to watch ytbers on minecraft

When I was 5

[cunning niche]

The craziest thing I know about this game is some library which has books and alike that is banned in many countries.
A virtual library if you will, it is massive

[inner pumice]

I don't have Minecraft but I know that map or world I would love to read it in the future on my ps5

[neat fable]

I think someone made minecraft in minecraft, with redmine blocks. which is probably why @finite ibex was pondering minecraft in NMS.

[inner pumice]

If Minecraft redstone players are engineers we would be having futuristic cities and uhh depends if nms added it

[finite ibex]

its cause we alr got all the logic gates needed.

nms is turing complete, meaning ti can run any calculation a computer theoeretically could

[inner pumice]

What's a logic gate

[finite ibex]

hold up

[finite ibex]

what

huh

how

how do you not know?

[finite ibex]

from chatgpt: A logic gate is an electronic device that performs a basic Boolean logical operation on one or more binary inputs, producing a single binary output. It functions as a building block for all digital circuits, such as computers and smartphones, by controlling the flow of electricity based on logical rules. Think of it like a simple electronic switch that can be "on" (true, or 1) or "off" (false, or 0)

[inner pumice]

Bc I don't have any logic

[finite ibex]

so an and gate for example will output a one if both inputsare a one. but not if only one or none is

[inner pumice]

Sure ty

Just dont let mods know we are talking off topic

[neat fable]

a logic gate is an electronic microswitch that reacts to 2 inputs and produces 1 output.. (usually 2:1)
For example True AND True = True, but True AND False = False
Another example. True OR True = True, but also True OR False = True

[jovial solar]

uhhhhh

this still NMS related?

[finite ibex]

it is

[neat fable]

it was. someone was asking about gates in NMS

[finite ibex]

because we are discussing making minecraft in no mans sky with the logic gates and someone asked the above

so yes.

yes it is.

[real pier]

Brah somebody alr made chatgpt in mc now nms is gonna have mc

[finite ibex]

oh yeah. someone did make chatgpt in minecraft with redstone.

but that is now offtopic

so shush

[inner pumice]

And then nms will be inside nms and inside nms and inside nms and play a switch on nms and play a oc on nms

[finite ibex]

but making chatgpt in minecraft in no mans sky?? HELL YEAH

[jovial solar]

personally I'd settle with playable NMS first

and HG squashing some bugs that hang around for like checks notes 6 years

[finite ibex]

minecraft is way simpler to make then nms.
in order to make a computer, you need to place each logic gate. and wire them. minecraft needs ot minimum one gigabyte for full total playability.

no mans sky needs 8, a proper gpu and a proper cpu.

it would be un human to do

you just couldnt

itd also probably excede the build limit

[finite ibex]

oh i see what you meant

:/

true though.

[inner pumice]

Yes, switch won't support it

[neat fable]

what? no minecraft in NMS on the Switch?

[inner pumice]

Yes, switch doesn't have corvettes

[icy rivet]

Switch 1 was probably a mistake in the first place, sad to say.

[finite ibex]

it would implode with more force then the current most powerful hydrogen bomb

[finite ibex]

they needed more everything in there tbh

[inner pumice]

It would turn supernova

[finite ibex]

it would be the cause of the big bang

[inner pumice]

Yes, need to upgrade asap

[neat fable]

is that how it all started? someone tried to emulate NMS in NMS on a switch?

[icy rivet]

Duh obv

[finite ibex]

i mean that would explain an awfull lot

[neat fable]

is that the forbidden recursion? emulating a universe that emulates a universe?

[finite ibex]

nah. i had the best idea.
hear me out ok?
windows in excell in the powder toy in jhon conways game of life, in shell, in linux in minecraft in no mans sky.

[inner pumice]

And uhh if I wanna cross save my switch once I get a PS5 will be hell, since like Nintendo releases the updates slower

[finite ibex]

and then add wifi to it in the final layer and download no mans sky and visit the base recursivley

[icy rivet]

Wasn't there an ancient Dr. Who episode where it was a spaceship where one of the warp engines exploded that caused the big bang? Can't remember if it was Dr. Who, but it feels like it.

[neat fable]

sounds like a dr who thing

[finite ibex]

me when a sentinal shoots me the second i press emergency warp

[icy rivet]

Yeah, not the newer ones, the 80s ones.

[finite ibex]

[finite ibex]

anyway should i run no mans sky on my raspberry pi?

ill install windows for arm

then linux vm to emulat the x86

then steam

then proton

and finally no mans sky

[icy rivet]

Then profit

[neat fable]

it might. the PI is pretty powerful

I'm barely 2900h in

[icy rivet]

Well that's Steam lying about how much I've actually played. My save time is like 2200.

[naive mist]

Glowing grass best grass

[finite ibex]

holy fuck

[neat fable]

Even with save time. my games often just stay open between play sessions, so a lot of idle time is counted.

[icy rivet]

That's also over 5.5 years, too.

[naive mist]

I would need to count my total time . But its probably around 2,5k

[inner pumice]

I'm only 355+

[cunning niche]

One day.....

[cunning niche]

I crossed this planet yesterday, I mean, it was copy/paste

[neat fable]

I found this scorched planet today, with forests of fire.

[icy rivet]

Hey are you on the planet I'm on right now?? It's got the same plants and is extreme heat.

[neat fable]

the glyphs are there. I random portalled using the 1st 2 glyphs

[naive mist]

There is limited amount of biome types so at some point they will repeat

[finite ibex]

me when i type in random glyphs and land a valid address

the atlas was feelin kind today

[neat fable]

Well I know how the portal codes work, so it wasn't exactly random 🙂
I was checking sequentially.

[finite ibex]

TELL ME THE SECRETS OF THE PORTAL CODES

[cunning niche]

That is Eissentam galaxy, I cross the same planet but with different colour 🤣
I am not leaving this galaxy any time soon, there are parts of the galaxy that the devs were "alright, I got some coffee, where was I??"
Just beautiful planets one after another, Earth weather within the same system, it is insane.

[icy rivet]

"Shiny! I'm so... shiny!"

[finite ibex]

I have copper

just a whole roll of it

its not relevant

but i feel like i needed to share this

[finite ibex]

is its shell made of solid slime?

[icy rivet]

No Moana fans in here

Ah well

[neat fable]

first of all the glyphs is base-16 , so where glyph 1 in game is hex = 0, glyph 16 is hex = F
each portal address is 12 digits, where the first digit is the planet ID, the next 3 digits is the star ID, the next 2 are the YY region coord, the next 3 are the ZZZ region coord and the last 3 are XXX. and these are all signed values, where YY is in the range of -50 to 50 and ZZZ and XXX go from -2048 to 2048

[finite ibex]

well now i get the refrence

[finite ibex]

huh. neat

[finite ibex]

also dont tell the sentinals that we have figured out how they use the portal system. they will throw a fit

[cunning niche]

Same planet style, just different colour lol

[finite ibex]

how

ifits the same planet it should have only one colour skeeme

lol

skeeme

[cunning niche]

sorry, same planet style, not same-same planet like one planet with different colours lol

[finite ibex]

oh

well wither way it is cool

[split rapids]

well there is a limited amount of floating island models, so it's quite easy to find the same island multiple times ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[finite ibex]

MAKE EVERYTHING RNG

[neat fable]

there's only so many variations, so eventually things repeat on different planets

[icy rivet]

Needs moar assets plzkthx

[finite ibex]

but it is impossible to find a clone planet. with the same creatures and terain gen and object placment.

we need to make a mod that turn nomansky into a physics simulation of the atlas's simulation so everything is more real

[split rapids]

the hitboxes of the current hand-made islands are still bad, i can't imagine how horrible it is if islands are procedurally generated

[neat fable]

not impossible, but very unlikely

[finite ibex]

and then there would be infinite assets

[clever merlin]

I've been following the atlas path. It's just moving from point to point. What's the point?

so if i type 1111ffffffff ill end up in that systems black hole?galixy core

[split rapids]

-# yeah most of the planets feel similar to each other, except the one you're actively looking for

[icy rivet]

Yeah I've got a favorite planet that I haven't found a duplicate yet for. Not that I'm looking for one, I just haven't found one.

[vernal egret]

Holy shit that is breathtaking.

[clever merlin]

Which setting improve the ground quality the most please?

[finite ibex]

why does this give me uncanny valley vibes

[neat fable]

in general, it would be impossible because the rng is tied to the address, which is unique but there is 18 quintillion planets and not that many variations, so there is overlap. It's possible that the overlap realign at some point, creating exact duplicates, despite the unique addresses. In infinity, repitition is also a variation.

[finite ibex]

it just looks wrong

[clever merlin]

Coz I set everything to lowest..

[naive mist]

If address is not valid it will take u to nearest valid adress

[split rapids]

Terrain Tessellation iirc

[finite ibex]

so itll take me nearest to the core then

[neat fable]

black holes are always star ID 078, IIRC.
As atlas systems are star ID 079.
Every region has one of each

[finite ibex]

imagine if it was possible to visit the system at the center of the galixy. like eneter the black hole at the center

[naive mist]

High lod is

[finite ibex]

dayum

[icy rivet]

Indeed. Everything maxed, of course.

[neat fable]

if yyou want to get close to the core, just punch in portal address 000000000000

If only planets in purple systems have rings 🙁

[finite ibex]

imagine a purple system with biblically accurate planets

[finite ibex]

to the real life

[icy rivet]

"biblically?"

[finite ibex]

sorry just came to my mind.

[neat fable]

texture quality, then planet quality will make the biggest difference

[icy rivet]

Ah. I was like, "this is gonna go someplace dangerous."

[clever merlin]

That's it? What about "terrain"?

[neat fable]

terrain will affect the actual 3D model, not the skin

[finite ibex]

imagine this.
a planet with rings upon rings of fire, layerd with eyes like jewls on a ring.
wings. of glowing atlas crimson red. 16 wings in total.

[split rapids]

imagine gas giants with rings

[neat fable]

terrain quality will smooth out the edges, more detail contours, etc. no change to coloring or 'drawn' details, only shape

[finite ibex]

did some digging. found this on the redit.

its a corvette

[young harbor]

Is that modded or glitched?

[finite ibex]

no clue

probably uses wonder projectors

also, i wanted to point out the fact that i search "biblically accurate planet" and it comes up withtwo results of no mans sky. like how is it even related?

[neat fable]

probably sorta both. not a mod but done in an external app, modifiying the save file

[naive mist]

Wonder projectors and decors. + probably no part limit mod

[icy rivet]

I dislike the part limit mods. It screws up others' games if you go to the anomaly or something.

Corvettes already cause enough problems there.

[naive mist]

Did u found it yet?

[hearty pasture]

Chat, should I go to sleep or get pizza? I broke my ankle so going up and down the stairs hurts like hell. If I go downstairs I won’t be coming back up. What should I choose?

[icy rivet]

Speaking of which, did they ever fix that thing where someone can hijack your corvette in the anomaly?

[naive mist]

Idk

I guess no

[neat fable]

I know you can stowaway on ppl's corvette

[icy rivet]

Well that's fine.

I just heard here that there was a way to steal corvettes.

[neat fable]

I mean, that is how I got the orbital skydive from a player's corvette milestone in the last expedition.

and some other people hitch on my corvette a few times

[icy rivet]

I gave up on that one. Didn't need the QS and I couldn't get anyone to help.

[naive mist]

I ignored optional tasks

[neat fable]

I didn't ask anyone, I was just in my corvette at the station, and because NMS is buggy AF, someone else corvette was also spawned in the same slot and it dragged me away

so then I just used the opportunity to do the skydive

[hardy tendon]

Tf they do to see an angel!?

[icy rivet]

It's a corvette. Heavily modded or glitched, I imagine.

[naive mist]

there are || glass angels in lore. But no description how it looks like ||

[split rapids]

"Extreme weather"
-# that was during a storm

[clever merlin]

I maxed out the Anisotropic Filtering, GTAO and Planet Quality. Texture doesn't really make much difference. Probably because I have a 13" display?

[neat fable]

13" !!
I feel for you guy! lol
Sounds like you are trying to run on a potato?

[icy rivet]

Sounds like a MacBook Air. They are surprisingly performant.

[clever merlin]

M4 MacBook Air. Fanless...

[neat fable]

NMS quality settings are sorta auto-dynamic, so if your rig can't do better than minimum settings, setting to high won't change anything.

[icy rivet]

I dunno, I see a big difference in texture quality there.

[clever merlin]

But I do get 15% battery usage per hour for "1600p" 30fps at lowest settings when MetalFX is turned on.

Trying to bump up some settings for the most visual improvements with the least load on the hardware.

[clever merlin]

Crazy. I only turned texture from Standard to Enhanced.

[icy rivet]

Ultra or bust 😄

[clever merlin]

Will play for a while with Enhanced to see how hot it gets and I'll try the Ultra.

[icy rivet]

You don't have to do that. Ultra needs around 8GB of VRAM, and I don't know how much of the unified memory an Air uses for graphics. Might be too much for your system.

[neat fable]

FWIW, not all quality settings have the same impact either on quality, performance or computational costs. Texture quality will mostly affect how much video memory is required, not put much more load on the cpu or gpu. While things like GTAO, and AA are computationally intensive and will make your cpu and/or gpu work harder but won't affect things like video memory requirements.

[last furnace]

Good morning NMSians!!!

[tawny kernel]

Still not found squid with 4 SC together

[neat fable]

why do people want all SC's clustered?
I don't see the point. you basically just tune for a single tech?

I want SC's spread out evenly, with enough space around them to support different techs for each SC

[icy rivet]

Some people like to min/max.

[neat fable]

but is that the point, to max a single tech like photon cannon or w/e?

[icy rivet]

Yeah

[vernal egret]

Whats SC?

[neat fable]

I prefer the exact opposite, especially when enemies scale with the DPS.
SC = Supercharged slot

[naive mist]

To flex with big numbaz

[split rapids]

[icy rivet]

Multitool go brrrr

[smoky jasper]

sunrise at the farm

[neat fable]

Mine does like 12k and it works just fine. I still cut through sentinels as fast as I can target them.

[icy rivet]

Exactly. It's just a big number thing. They are still effective.

[vernal egret]

Oh. I mean, clustered slots mean that you can min max one certain module. But at that point, you run the risk of hitting diminishing returns. Having them spread out means that you have the liberty to boost more modules of your ship, which can boost your capabilities in multiple ways.

Then again, I have never seen the need to actually worry about this since most pirate ships, even "elite" grade ones are piss easy and even Sentinels stop being much of a problem after a certain point

[split rapids]

[vernal egret]

Sure, thats definitely something.

[neat fable]

I just don't want SC's on the edge slots, then half of their neighbours are cut off

[vernal egret]

Not quite though. Adjacency is still in effect.

[high kestrel]

Enough of it

[vernal egret]

Hey. Any SC slots is better than no SC slots, edge slots or no

[split rapids]

it's not that hard to organize every tech

[vernal egret]

Yup. If you have enough slots, having even weirdly placed SC slots isnt that big an issue

[neat fable]

I have some techs with like 12 different upgrade modules, including sentinel and atlantid modules. having all neighbours available matters

[vernal egret]

and getting to that point seems to be a question of when rather than how it seems

[finite ibex]

imagine if they added supernovae in nms

[neat fable]

some of those sentinel modules are also dual or triple tech, so you can pair them with various things, like jetpack, or life support, or shields, for the exosuit ones

[vernal egret]

How would you add them in? Supernovae or Novae in general are massively destructive events

[finite ibex]

exists within one ly of a star thats boutta go supernova

[naive mist]

Diffrent skybox

[finite ibex]

make it so you need special equiptment to enter the region that they happened in cause of all the gamma rays

[vernal egret]

But they are events to witness right?

The remnant of a nova/supernova is usually a dwarf star or a newborn black hole

[naive mist]

There is no sun as physical object in star system in nms. So just need diffrent skybox

[neat fable]

the problem with supernovae is they are temporal events and NMS is an RNG game. things generally reset when things reload.

[finite ibex]

tis not a hate ejector, it is a hated object deletor

will i, a tradesperson, who makes all her money from trading legitimate and illigetimately gotten goods. come accross these parts naturally, in my line of work? or will i have to go out of my way to seek them out?

[wicked needle]

[wicked needle]

ARE YOU USING DISCORD ON A SMART WATCH??

[signal holly]

AHAHA i see it now, i thought it was white with blue highlights at first, but no, tha's the shadow

[neat fable]

PCG is RNG. PCG is not technically random. I think you are saying. Yes

[vernal egret]

you have to go looking for salvaged parts and trade them in for different parts. Or if youre lazy, just dip the difficulty down to Creative, make your corvette and reset back to whatever difficulty you were on

[finite ibex]

[signal holly]

can't do difficulty, i locked myself aeons ago

[vernal egret]

What Astaroth said. Find a planet that has Salvaged Scrap on it and look for buried tech that has a yellow icon instead of your regular blue buried tech module icon

[signal holly]

by planets with salvagale scrap you mean salvaged data? or is that a different thing?

[wicked needle]

yee, aparently i just got the red one and when i compared it, I want to scrap it now

i mean when i'm still spaceside, am i lookin for the same thing in planetary scans?

[finite ibex]

wait

i need to see if i can run no mans sky on this watch screen

[vernal egret]

You have to look for Salvaged Scrap in the planet resources index.

[finite ibex]

brb guys

[wicked needle]

Both are the same, right?

[signal holly]

why though? are you using voice to text? i can't imagine that's in any way fun or convenient after the initial novelty wears off

[finite ibex]

it is plugged into a raspberry pi

[neat fable]

the salvagable scrap is corvette parts and when you look at a planet from space, it should tell you if it has any.
salvaged data is for base building recipes and the planet data will not tell you. you find it on most every planet

eh, i'm partial to the ones in a space station

[wicked needle]

That stair is in 4d you just can't see where it leads

[split rapids]

can you run NMS on a raspberry pi

[wicked needle]

God no

[vernal egret]

you would need some sort of graphics card so I am guessing no

[signal holly]

https://www.reddit.com/r/raspberry_pi/comments/4j8mmh/no_mans_sky_on_raspberry_pie_3/

definitively no

[vernal egret]

unless you can somehow jerry rig a graphics chip onto a rasberry pi

[fluid mason]

Nice to keep my settlement dwellers happy

[split rapids]

you can make some graphic cards run with a RPi 5

[signal holly]

i'm not sure mine know i exist, and if they do, as soon as i turn up a bunch of sents attack so i'm sure htey don't like me

[vernal egret]

I guess. I havent looked into it.

[signal holly]

now i'm just picturing a pi with a 5080 stuck out of it

[fluid mason]

Building the settlement up is a bit of a grind

[wicked needle]

What would it be like to be 110% happy

[signal holly]

or would it be a 5080 with a pi stuck out of it

[fluid mason]

I wish I knew

[vernal egret]

It would be like a female/male angler fish situation

[signal holly]

so i'm lookin for yellow tech markers?

[wicked needle]

Give me some happiness also

[neat fable]

yes

this icon, but yellow.
buried technology, the white icon, is salvaged data. not what you want

and the planet should say that it contains Salvageable Scrap in the planet data

[fluid mason]

Actually, today is a pretty good day from a NMS perspective. I just finished building a base in every galaxy ( all 256). There will be free donuts at the anomaly later 🙂

[naive mist]

Congrats

Now do it on permadeath (im gathering my will and patience to do it )

[fluid mason]

It took nearly a year ... not just now. later perhaps

[ocean sedge]

big bases or small ones

[fluid mason]

There is a total limit, I think it is 5000 pieces for all bases when added together. So small bases except on planets I liked where did a bit more. All bases have power and a teleport at least. All are near a portal and most are near the centre of the galaxy. so I can go pretty much anywhere now.

[naive mist]

I used 10 or less parts for galaxy anchor bases so it still took like 2560 parts

[smoky jasper]

16,000

[waxen palm]

It's 3k to upload, 21k total across all bases

[signal holly]

who else has a theme for their ship names?

[naive mist]

They rised the limit

[fluid mason]

Good to know thanks

[neat fable]

I was considering that too but then I basically want a dedicated save just for that and then if I will be able to take advantage of all those bases to reach those galaxies conveniently from other saves, I'd have to dual play the game, otherwise I'd just be figuring out some other way to get to the specific galaxy and then just portal to the established bases from the other saves.

[fluid mason]

It started off as a means to locate sources for all useful minerals etc. ... but then I just kept going

[signal holly]

i buy at stopwatch to sell to dna to buy at dna to sell at flask right?

[clever merlin]

No One's Sky sounds weird. No Man's Sky sounds better. Why?

[naive mist]

Just sound things

[spiral orbit]

eh how can i play muti players?

[signal holly]

it sounds more similar to no mans land, which is already an established phrase

[spiral orbit]

yo guys how can i play muti players

[clever merlin]

no man's island?

[neat fable]

I honestly never figured out how the galactic trading stuff works. I wouldn't be surprised if it was some simple rock-paper-scissors system

[signal holly]

no, no mans land, like the strip between the trenches in WWI

[signal holly]

there's two loops, i know that much

[spiral orbit]

how can i find big servewr so i can play?

[clever merlin]

Oh I didn't know that

[spiral orbit]

with other players?

[signal holly]

you're in the big server friendo. it's a big place. you'll likely have to find your friends, or make some new ones aboard the nexus

[naive mist]

All play together

[spiral orbit]

what do u mean

when i start survivel game is it with everyone?

[naive mist]

There are no seperate servers

[clever merlin]

So if you and I happen to get to the same coordinate, we will see each other?

[spiral orbit]

wdym

[signal holly]

yep

[spiral orbit]

OHH

so wiat

if u paly

cratievl is it with somone ela;ls

[signal holly]

those statistics are INFITESSIMALLY small but

[clever merlin]

So I can literally post where I am, and anyone in the world can come see me??

[neat fable]

Unless you just want to rp or simply explore the mechanics. the trading system is just not really worth doing. there is better, simpler, faster ways to make units.

[naive mist]

Only permadeath and expedition mode are seperate instances

[signal holly]

i like the RP and it's fun

[spiral orbit]

so wait noraml means with everyone right

[signal holly]

yep

[spiral orbit]

i see thanks gang

[clever merlin]

So it just has ONE huge server?

[signal holly]

yellow tech thing - "salvage container" is this what i'm lookin for

[fluid mason]

I met someone randomly outside of the anomoly or of an expedition once. I nearly died from the surprise

[spiral orbit]

so how many plantes there is?

[clever merlin]

18 Quintilian

[naive mist]

Trilions

[clever merlin]

How can I see my coordinates?

[naive mist]

Possible to handle by game engine in teory. In practice there are around 2 quadrilions total

[neat fable]

what coords?

[clever merlin]

Where I am

[signal holly]

repurposed heat pipes do not sound like the things i want for a corvette? or are they

[waxen palm]

Not NMS

And how has that specific meme not been recreated in NmS now? We can spacewalk

[naive mist]

Glyphs in photo mode . Position on planet in mt visor or ship cockpit

[neat fable]

There is different types of coords, depending where you are. you want galactic/system coords or planet/location coords?

[signal holly]

as SOON as you said that i thought "right i need to find someone to recreate that with"

[clever merlin]

Both?

[naive mist]

Memes go to #memes🤡

[neat fable]

on a planet, you can see your local coords in the analysis visor.
system coords within the galaxy: if you are on a planet, you can place a beacon and it will give you galactic coords.
otherwise, the portal address of any planet is comprised of planet ID, star ID and 3D coords for the galactic region where the star resides. you can use onnline tools to convert the portal address.

[signal holly]

do pirate stations have corv builders?

[naive mist]

If they have corv terminals then yes

[waxen palm]

Don't forget photomode for glyphs and galaxy

[neat fable]

if you just want an approximation, you can look at the galaxy map and the overlay in the top-left will indicate what area of the galaxy you are in and it should tell you how far from the center you are, but no specific coords.

[signal holly]

ah, so terminals aren't just a space station thing? just particular stations?

uh

[lucid timber]

Do you wish to have some multiplayer fun? Check out #1418605454300549120 !

guys

ah just called my starship

which was stuck inside the station lol

[neat fable]

All space station including outlaw stations have corvette terminals.
Outlaw stations do not have teleporters to get to the corvette bays though. You gotta hike it.

[signal holly]

smh we need to pick up our outlaw game

[smoky jasper]

On top of what Gaticus said, the spaceship in 1st person view, bottom left corner display will show you coordinates like "-40 -150"

[fluid mason]

fire in my base

cheap foreign batteries 😉

[neat fable]

on planet, yes. also exocraft. it's useful to use the planet coords to remember where certain locations are instead of spammin gmarkers around.

[signal holly]

i'm in the builder and oh god i'm getting starfield flashbacks

[neat fable]

and usually you will be travelling farther than walking distance, so ship or exocraft

[waxen palm]

The Starbirth quest (living ship) used to have us use planetary coordinates for each stop. You should have seen the amount of people that didn't know about lat and long

[clever merlin]

Where in the world is Hyperion??

[waxen palm]

Space Anomaly

Starship module vendor

[smoky jasper]

joycon colored ship

[neat fable]

related but not exactly location. in the ship cockpit HUD the globe is extremely useful for orientation. learn what the indicators mean. If you are looking for planets in the system, use the indicator to locate and align your view with the planets.

DYK, even the multi-tool has an indicator HUD? Some of them better than others.

[little halo]

The backpack has lights for hazard and life support levels

[waxen palm]

No Hud best Hud

[thin galleon]

Question. Ive seen lots of really cool base decorations in some bases and corvettes that i cant find in any shops. How do i get more?

[neat fable]

yep. small details that if you learn to use are actually helpful

[little halo]

oh and above the quicksilver vendor, the sign shows the community milestone progress

[neat fable]

my MT shows the mode and the fuel guage, or ammo in this case, for the boltcaster

[signal holly]

can i get one large hab that i can then section out myself?

[waxen palm]

Probably the quicksilver decorations

[hearty hull]

Is there a way to have your in game name differ from your steam name?

[waxen palm]

If not, tell us specific things and we can let you know

[thin galleon]

I have majority of those and all the researchable ones

[little halo]

Yeah, kind of need details to answer your question

[thin galleon]

One is like a blue ring of shapes?

Then there was a floating crystal

[signal holly]

why is "hyperborean" a descriptor for frozen planets?
borea refers to the north? are we to believe these civilisations take an antiquated terran term for cardinal directions and apply it to planets?

[waxen palm]

Very back, blue ring

That thing?

[little halo]

You're not complaining that literally everything else in the game is using a terran word?

[thin galleon]

Yeah that

[little halo]

Plus, we don't even know if Earth exists in the NMS world

[signal holly]

i mean true
but it also doesn't make logical sense
you can't have an entire planet that is "extreme north"

[little halo]

Language often does not make deductive sense, but it does make inductive sense

[hearty hull]

But does it make conductive sense?

[thin galleon]

I beg to difer, but Titan is a frozen rock of ice so cold its considered extreme north.

[signal holly]

can i land this thing on my capital?

[little halo]

Only when wet

[naive mist]

😆

[sudden canopy]

Some of my Autophage settlers were in the cantina last night, bustin a move near the bytebeat device - most amazing thing I ever saw

[waxen palm]

That is: The Blackhole In the Wall Sign

[neat fable]

'north' or 'northern' in the sense of boreal really just means cold, not literally north.
its like saying that tropical means south.

[waxen palm]

800 qs iirc

We stuff cakes into an Ingestor while riding around on diplos in the middle of a gas giant, and you are worried about the accuracy of the naming conventions?

[wheat grove]

Too bright

[waxen palm]

Wait wait wait

I found a terrible angle that is blinding for another

Yikes

No extra lights or anything added

[wheat grove]

😵

[neat fable]

Speaking of gas giants. I just finished the autophage track. They're big and the storms are intense but wth. there is land? Dissapointing. Would be better if they did neutron stars or something if they are going to have land.

[wheat grove]

Ambassador habs are very bright at one spot x.x

[clever merlin]

Is there a way to counter storms?

[waxen palm]

I really wish I could swap around the themed modules. I love how the refiner and crew beds look with ambassador, but I don't like the sterility and cleanliness of the habs themselves

Might have to mod the ship, port it over

[wheat grove]

[waxen palm]

Thunderbird habs, ambassador modules

[grave frost]

Just got one of those an hour ago

[neat fable]

A minotaur exocraft protects you.. depends what you are doing.
If you have good hazard and environmental shields you can weather all storms.
If you are building or something, throw up a temporary shelter and use yoru build camera instead of standing in the storm.

[grave frost]

Just got one of these an hour ago

[waxen palm]

I think the community term is flowercats, but I like florauna

[clever merlin]

Yeay!! About to bring the Mind Ark to Artemis. Am I in for good shit?

[waxen palm]

NMS is about cosmic dread and existential crisis, I wouldn't count on good

[clever merlin]

Use my build camera? Wdym?

[clever merlin]

I like those things...

[waxen palm]

Top of your build menu, shows the keys/buttons

[clever merlin]

One of the reasons I decided to buy NMS was... it looks like a boring game...like, drawing with a stick on sand...

[waxen palm]

Toggle camera is the way to switch between your normal view building and the build camera

[hearty hull]

do the sentinel weapons upgrades affect all weapons or just boltcasters?

[waxen palm]

Boltcaster

[frozen grotto]

is the game worth buying? can someone let me know

[waxen palm]

Yes

Totally unbiased opinion too

[frozen grotto]

how many hours can i sink in this game?

[waxen palm]

All of them

[frozen grotto]

amazing

[waxen palm]

Yep

[neat fable]

If you are building, you can switch camera modes from player mode to build camera (freecam) mode, then you can detach the camera from the player position and move your view around freely without moving the player, that is safe in the shelter.

[waxen palm]

I dunno tbh, we are at year 9

Multiple updates and new content each year

[hearty hull]

The first couple hours is a steep learning curve and the tutorials can be a bit on the nose as it leads you through the basics, but it does do a pretty decent job of teaching you, and once the reigns are yours, the game really shines.

[naive mist]

Depends if u like chill casual sandbox exploration sci fi space games with some multiplayer features

[frozen grotto]

i didnt like minecraft, is it similar?

[hearty hull]

Its pretty much minecraft in space.

[frozen grotto]

but its not sci fi and i like sci fi

[waxen palm]

What lol

[solar seal]

not really

[frozen grotto]

is it cross platform?

[waxen palm]

It's doing its own thing, similarities to Minecraft are the same any crafting/survival open world game has

Yes, you mine, yes you build - like innumerable other games

[hearty hull]

You mine and you craft.

[waxen palm]

I do that in Ark also

I mean dinocraft

[naive mist]

And much more

[hearty hull]

Do love me some dinocraft

[frozen grotto]

but i dont think you can like go into space in minecraft lol

[waxen palm]

Fish crafting

[hearty hull]

You're not building your TNT cannon right, then.

[frozen grotto]

haha maybe

[neat fable]

NMS is worth buying. there is more than enough to do in the game in various ways to appeal to many different play styles.
It's not like minecraft , unless you want it to be.

[waxen palm]

This is heavy on the sandbox and light on the survival

[hearty hull]

even on "survival" it isn't very survival~y. It just slows you down a bit before you steamroll

[waxen palm]

If you are looking for a challenge, you will need to tweak settings and make your own restrictions. But if you like casual sandbox and are able to make your own goals this is a game you will like

[frozen grotto]

that's cool

[undone verge]

Polo and Nada are all the good I need

[naive mist]

If u looking for pvp experiance . Nms is not the game

[waxen palm]

Polo is the dread, Nada is the crisis lol

[neat fable]

Just doing the main story is enough, despite the sandbox

[frozen grotto]

nah i dont want pvp, i just wanna see different planets and more

[neat fable]

NMS can be on rails and still be worth it

[frozen grotto]

can you get sucked into a black hole

[waxen palm]

No, but you can go into them on purpose

[hearty hull]

Believe it or not, this game is very well suited for seeing different planets and such.

[frozen grotto]

i'm sold

[undone verge]

I already name my symptoms therapeutically. At least those two support me all the time lol

[hearty hull]

Should make a restaraunt on the anomaly called "Black Hole in the Wall"

[waxen palm]

This game is very light on realism, it's most definitely sci-fi fantasy

Don't expect an Elite Dangerous kind of experience, casual controls, fighting etc

[naive mist]

Old school fantasy

[frozen grotto]

can you fight these creatures?

[neat fable]

It is foremost an exploration and collectors game. Everything else is supplemental and offerings for different play style preferences.

[frozen grotto]

or is there no fighting like at all

[waxen palm]

There is fighting

[frozen grotto]

Okay, I see

[waxen palm]

As much fighting as you want

Or as little

[hearty hull]

This part may require a bit of fleeing to achieve. There are definintely spots where it drops you into combat, but you don't ever HAVE to engage.

[waxen palm]

Plus, things like this

[waxen palm]

Yep, knowledge of game mechanics will be needed to be pacifist completely

[solar seal]

ark gave me lifetime trauma but ill still play

[hearty hull]

I clocked just shy of 8k hours in ark, too many on officials and far, FAR too many poorly slept nights waking up every 3.5 hours to take care of baby dinos.

I love that game with my heart and soul but I can never play it again. It isn't a game you can play casually unless you like getting your stuff wrecked every other day.

[hollow steeple]

I thought my 4k hours in for honor were crazy, holy

[hearty hull]

TBF, a lot of that time was AFK sitting by grinders for XP, but yeah... its still a crapload of time

[sudden anchor]

Those were my days in Counter Strike...back in 1999-2001. Lost lots of sleep, being late to work, etc. It was not good...

It's like drugs, I had to really put a time limit and just enjoy these games on a sporadic basis.

Not that I ever did drugs

[hot totem]

guys what difficulty i should choose? idk i just cant do the choice, i have 117 hours (on different saves, i dont think i had more than 15 hours on one save) lol i finally have nice pc to propelly enjoy this game

[coral notch]

I’d just go with normal starting out but I’d just go with whatever seems the most fun to you

[undone verge]

"You want some RPGs, maaannn?"

[hot totem]

idk im thinking between surival and normal (or custom), i didnt feel any difficulty in surviving but at the same time space battles are kinda hard

maybe ill just go with normal

[coral notch]

Yeah this game honestly isn’t very suitable for high difficulty unless you mod the hell out of it

[undone verge]

If you want it to feel more like a survival game, Normal or above and you'll contest with your health bars and resource management. I personally wanted a more exploratory feel to learn about the universe, the plot and simple discoveries without feeling like I have to dip into my pockets every few minutes.
As many said, its as difficult as your self made goals.

[hot totem]

i will go with normal then i think

[coral notch]

Oooo

Those clouds aren’t ominous at all :)

[sleek condor]

@ruby beacon you there

[inner pumice]

If I'm right, u can't get the autophage race in abandoned mode right

[neat fable]

is the order that glyphs are collected in random, or do they come in sequence?

[hearty hull]

In sequence 1 to 16

[coral notch]

Depends on how you get them

[hearty hull]

Fair

[neat fable]

so if you find graves they are random I guess?

[coral notch]

I believe if you get them from graves it’s random but if you do it as intended it’s in order

[undone verge]

throws on The Final Countdown

[coral notch]

Tbh if you have more than like 60 hours on your main save and haven’t done the story yet you can speedrun the Artemis path in like 3-4 hours

[waxen palm]

there are a couple forced waits, gonna be more like 4-6

[undone verge]

While I still went ADD crazy, compared to my first run, I definitely ran through each story chapter for Artemis in like 15-20 apiece. I know I zoomed through the final 2 chapters bc I wanted to get to Echoes

[naive mist]

Pushing story from scratch to finish will take around 18h

[undone verge]

I liked that I wanted to explore and do all this stuff in relative peace and cozy little base and the game goes "sayyyy, you could use roommates."

[neat fable]

I managed to discover a portal address that uses only 2 glyphs, that wasn't already discovered, that is close to the galaxy core, in euclid. I was searching all day and about to give up.
Thing is it uses glyph #1 (sunset), thats good and glyph 16 (the atlas). Not good if it's the last glyph typically collected.
At least I was hoping I could find a portal address that would be easily accessible without grinding the game, that is not already discovered/occupied.

[coral notch]

Tbh I recommend most players just do story normally since finding graves can easily put you into rng hell and it’s just not fun

[undone verge]

Agreed. It would've made my first run more progressive

[neat fable]

yeah, still I have an idea for a player-made side quest thing, and I was hoping to make it as accessible as possible, but requires using the portals.
Sorta like rewarding the player for finding the next glyph and unlocking a new location.

[copper berry]

oh my god I'm so glad they made it so that being in space without a ship isn't instant death anymore. On my perma death save, I landed in a space station, got out of my ship, and the entire station vanished, along with my ship, leaving me floating in space lol

[hearty hull]

Does the voltaic amplifier increase damage on all weapons while enemy is stunned or just certain ones?

[waxen palm]

all

[hearty hull]

Woooooo

[undone verge]

When I restarted up, I didn't know about corvettes as well as space survivability. I somehow warped outside a space station puzzled why I wasn't dead yet lol

[cunning iris]

Morning, everyone

...oh goodness.

[copper berry]

if this was pre-voyagers I would have died because you can't summon your ship in space pre-voyagers

like even if I had a million oxygen I don't think I would have survived

[remote trellis]

NMS should have rivers. Just me?

[fallen marsh]

Wait yeah how come I haven't seen a single river

[cunning iris]

Need to celebrate the new role with something zen

[lethal adder]

Welcome to Legend

[cunning iris]

Feels good. Also, last role I'll probably ever get. There's no chance I'm getting all the way to top gek lol

[spice ether]

i agree

[lethal adder]

I’m almost 75

[cunning iris]

!!!
I'm a bit far away 😅

[undone verge]

It was like a couple weeks after Voyagers. I saw the trailer in passing of the traveller jumping out of the ship onto a planet but I still didn't think you could survive in space yet.

[neat fable]

procedural rivers are really hard to make work

too much glue a duct tape required

[modern crater]

So I went to the galaxy core just to see how it would be "ending" the game for the second time. Got into a new galaxy just to return to my previous one. Now all my tech is broken. 😆 🤡

[sleek quest]

This must be the deepest I have seen, 1.3KU

Ocean

[undone verge]

Note to self: Don't do that lol

[cunning iris]

Nah, it's nice to do it at least once.

Just don't do it with interceptors or living ships

[neat fable]

you need to prep before going through the core or resetting the galaxy

you can equip a temp multi-tool and ship that you don't care about, just find some salvages.

then you just need to make sure you remove your exosuit tech.

[sleek quest]

Just strip all of your tech into packages, grab a dummy MT and ship, and go bananas

[timber haven]

An exotic ship i picked up early on but never stuck anything on other than the atlantid drive is my core jumper ship.

[sleek quest]

I can give you my Decoy Jenkins if you want, a cheap second hand honda civic solar ship.

[timber haven]

Exosuit stuff is a pain storing the stuff temporarily but at least the core tech you start with stays alright.
Multitools are easy enough to swap.

[spring raptor]

Goodmorning

What's everybody up to this morning?

Trying to find back a planet I visited a few days ago but can't find it in my discoveries.. help? I'm sure I flew over it and even walked on its surface

[hearty hull]

does the damage stat matter at all on a tool you use only for mining?

[cunning iris]

Did you scan anything there? Fauna, flora, minerals? Can try to remember something from that planet and manually check recent planets in the discoveries tab.
No easy way for this unfortunately, if you don't remember the system or left a base there

[lyric ermine]

Anyone know how I can find S class mineral deposits faster?

I probably did scan but don't really remember much xD It was an ultramarine planet

That should narrow the search nicely, perhaps, depending on what you visited after that one

[gaunt finch]

Did somebody say ultramarine

[mortal rover]

Uhhh yeah why

It was a very interesting planet and I realise now (2-3 days later) I want to go check it out some more

[gaunt finch]

Warhammer 40K music starts playing

[mortal rover]

I went over all my discovered systems and couldn't find an ultramarine planet though

[mortal rover]

😂

that's why I'm asking :/

but I'm sure I went on it, walked on it & scanned several things there

so it has to be there no?

[cunning iris]

It should yep. Sometimes old discoveries disappear, but shouldn't be the case with something from a couple of days ago

[mortal rover]

I was flying my starter ship when I found it I think, switched to corvette now

Probably doesn't matter

I'll go look again

[cunning iris]

Ultramarine would be on a blue star apparently

Does that help?

Dioxite as a main resource...

[mortal rover]

I've discovered 2 blue star systems it says ten years ago

I never touched the game ten years ago huh

but I've warped through a lot of yellow systems to try and find pretty paradise planets the last few days so

[cunning iris]

Worth a check I guess, date might be bugged (game wasn't even released 10 years ago)

[mortal rover]

how do I even go back to those planets

I might not have visited the station

[cunning iris]

Check what you scanned on them and make it a wonder; should tell you the portal address

[mortal rover]

oh I can't do portal thingies yet

ah screw this I'll find another at some point

Let me just ask about that planet.. It was completely dry, no water, but it literally looked like underwater 'landscape'...

Is that the type of planet that's supposed to have big waves?

I want to witness some massive waves

[cunning iris]

Yeah, happens to us all. I don't even want to think on the stuff I lost in the past lol.

[cunning iris]

Some planets are like that.
But if you want the big waves, gotta visit a proper water world in a purple system

It's end-game stuff though, after the main storyline

[split rapids]

"dried ocean" desert?

[mortal rover]

Ahh okay thank you

[tame field]

how significant are the adjacent bonuses ?

I put modules next to each other and they get highlighted outlines but I see no difference in numbers

[coral notch]

Not super significant but still ideal

[tough drift]

there super important, it can be the difference from dying from stroms or be the differecnce between a lame jet pack and a really good one

getting yout tech in the right order can make your whole save better

[cunning iris]

It will depend on the number of tech modules interacting with each other for the bonuses.
If you are only pairing two, there's a difference, but not too much. But if you are, say, sorting some 6 or 7 hyperdrive modules, putting them in an ideal configuration can make a significant difference

[white bluff]

I'm on a planet like this right now

And it's a Giant ^

[subtle robin]

looks like New Mexico

[desert sun]

New Mexico doesn't have plants like that, it's it works look a lot better if it did

[subtle robin]

what does Ultramarine mean when it's the descriptor on a planet? I can't match it to any usual type, the sky is kind of purply blue, but it's not marine as in...wet. It's not a water world

[terse lily]

Day 161616 without Spawning Sacs, I believe they're a gek myth lmao

[split rapids]

"Blue" mega exotic

[subtle robin]

hmm

[split rapids]

that's a mega exotic planet with dioxide as one of the resources

[subtle robin]

nice

[split rapids]

you can find "blue" exotic planets in yellow, purple and blue star systems

[subtle robin]

I tried to compile all the adjectives and such from the wiki biome articles but there's overlap. For instance Tropical is under Marsh and Paradise

would be cool for it all to be compiled in a table, like there is for the descriptions of sentinel activity

[terse lily]

Like this?

[subtle robin]

ah...yes, very much like exactly that

[inner pumice]

What do y'all normally do in this game

[zealous cloak]

Any news on a Halloween event?

[dreamy rock]

Meanwhile, I can’t seem to go anywhere without those littering my scanner and I’m just looking for damn buried tech

[naive mist]

Tutel!

[terse lily]

I don't think you mean the same thing
spawning sacs are used to upgrade living ship tech+cargo cap
you ONLY get them from sending living frigates on frigate missions

[dreamy rock]

Planet -> warp to station -> fly to freighter-> reverse order. Seems to be the only thing I did last night.

[dreamy rock]

Oh well, I guess not. My memory is shit. It was some type of sac.

[terse lily]

It's nbd. I just know bc I tried searching for an alternate method 😂 there's none 😭

[frigid kraken]

Looks like something the Mon Kalasmaris would build to live deep underwater one day and be the vaccum of space the next day

[iron kernel]

What is a spawning sac

[frigid kraken]

(for anyone curious in Star Wars the Mon Kala live in buildings that are pressurized enough to be starships in the Star Wars universe, their planet is mainly a water world where they all live in these extremely pressurized structures )

[subtle robin]

it's a tarp!

[naive mist]

Living ship upgrade item

[terse lily]

Used to add tech slots + cargo slots to living ships, can't upgrade their capacity any other way. And you only get them from sending living frigates on frigate missions, IF you're extremely super crazy lucky lol

[subtle robin]

I got the dreaming probe or whatever to go recruit living frigates, but still not sure how to get a living starship to fly with

[frigid kraken]

I always send my living Freighter on explorations with at least two other ships cause it's a buffer type

[subtle robin]

I'm sure I just need to find the right video guide

[iron kernel]

Wow, and how many slots do you get by default

[terse lily]

There's a whole questline, takes likea week or so to complete if you don't mess with your game clock, lots of wait 24 hours for the next step

[iron kernel]

I'm yet to start the living ship quest line
Heard it's very long

[terse lily]

It's pretty good, there's space, but I don't like being crowded, and I don't like weird gaps

[subtle robin]

I am very patient when need be

[frigid kraken]

you mean the Dream Ariel? It ain't that long, besides, I love my Limitless Blue freighter

[clever merlin]

Ok.... So.. "Life and Death are fragile dreams. Not a real concept at all."

Can anyone explain? 💀

[subtle robin]

I landed on all sorts of freighters until I happened to find an S tier and bought it.

[terse lily]

No, the quest to actually get the first living ship, there's like 5 or 6 steps that require you to wait 24h each

[iron kernel]

Yeah I also don't having gaps

[subtle robin]

the dream aerial is to get living frigates

[iron kernel]

The flesh on metal bones

[iron kernel]

That's crazy

[terse lily]

I don't wanna get rid of my freighter, I'm too attached, it's not the best, but it's mine 🥹 and she's got a great name, the Black Betty Wambalam

[naive mist]

To get living ship u need void egg from quicksilver shop for 3200 qs

[frigid kraken]

I'm now a Bilge Rat to the Pirates, I don't know what that means, but I feel that's a slur in some circles so I'll take offense and wage conquest on the pirates as a response

[naive mist]

Egg will trigger a mission for the ship

[iron kernel]

What a name

[subtle robin]

yeah I heard freighters don't upgrade so I waited until I found an S tier one. Only 7m units too

[iron kernel]

Luckily for me some random gifted me in the anomaly

[terse lily]

Don't keep the void eggs at all after you do the mission though! Don't keep spares aaaaaanywhere, bc then you can't trigger the whalesong with the anomaly detectors

[iron kernel]

And somehow I now have 2 active void eggs

[sweet dragon]

do any of yall travel long distances on a planet?

[iron kernel]

And nope no one gave me the 2nd one it just appeared in my inventory one day

[sweet dragon]

like using an exocraft to get around or all journeys being on foot

[subtle robin]

is that what starts the living ship quest? buying the void egg and activating it?

[naive mist]

It needs to be "void egg" not " " cracking void egg " or anything like that. These are useless.

[iron kernel]

Yeah it's a void egg
I've started the quest but still at the beginning

[terse lily]

Have fun!

[subtle robin]

I do a lot on foot then when I'm done I just summon my ship with one of those navigational wafer things

[iron kernel]

Thanks!

[naive mist]

To complete the quest u need to have glyphs unlocked .

[iron kernel]

What's your preferred exocraft for navigation

[sweet dragon]

nautilon because its the fastest exocraft

but if theres no water in sight i use the pilgrim

[iron kernel]

I have completed atlas and autophage, I believe I have unlocked it right?

[subtle robin]

what kind of ship is it I see in the Anomaly, it's a sleek starship constantly floating on plasma jets and it's super pretty. Past expedition reward?

[naive mist]

If u completed artemis path then yes.

[frigid kraken]

sounds like it

[sleek quest]

artsmis

[iron kernel]

I love the pilgrim

[iron kernel]

Yes I have

[terse lily]

Picture =D

[frigid kraken]

I saw something kinda like it that apparently you get from the second expedition, I don't know the witchcraft you have to do for backtracking that far

[naive mist]

Probably

[tulip oar]

good morning

[naive mist]

Meow

[sleek quest]

Hi Artsmis

[frigid kraken]

morning

[subtle robin]

it's like a hot golden wedge thing

[sleek quest]

A...........what?

[sleek quest]

Starborn Runner/Starborn phoenix

[naive mist]

Phoenix was the golden one

[iron kernel]

Probably starborn phoenix or something

[terse lily]

I'm top notch jelly of pc players and ppl who started before me who could play all the past expeditions

[tulip oar]

meow meow

[sudden anchor]

Bissell handheld vacuum cleaner

That's what I use currently for flying...

[subtle robin]

yeah those. totally hotrod slickness

[terse lily]

I use an all red solar ship I built from parts, shielded wings and everything very pointy, hex sails ofc

Called Firecracker

[iron kernel]

Picture?

[subtle robin]

solar ships are nice

[sleek quest]

The former being Omega expedition reward and the latter being a limited time claimable ship on steam during the game awards

[iron kernel]

I like how their wings spread

[terse lily]

Ff..... I don't have one rn I didn't think of it...

[sleek quest]

Are you on PC lad?

[terse lily]

ps5, if I was on pc I would have beeeeeeeeeeen played the other expeditions lol

[iron kernel]

You can?

[terse lily]

I am gonna probably get a cheap laptop soon-ish? just so I can trudge through the expeditions on pc, since crosssave

[iron kernel]

By modifying your save right?

[terse lily]

Cannot...

Not on ps5

[sleek quest]

You can get exped ships on PS5 via service bot no?

[terse lily]

Yeah but service bot costs money

[queen arch]

https://cwmonkey.github.io/nms-expeditions/

[naive mist]

Reward unlocker is free Ordering ships is not i think.

[terse lily]

Plus it would be fun to actually play the expeditions too

[iron kernel]

Ooh this is very nice, thank you so much

[lofty river]

hey i havent played in like a year or so, would you guys say the updates have made another big improvement?:)

[terse lily]

Oh? Well I have to wait anyway, used up my 3 free tokens a while ago

[queen arch]

Worlds Part II and Voyagers are why I'm still playing the game, so yeah

[naive mist]

White: Uncharted/Abandoned
Green: Peaceful
Yellow: 2 star
Red: 3 star/Pirate

[naive mist]

Some of the features are paywalled

[terse lily]

... the service bot... costs money... unless there's a free one that I don't know about
3 free tokens per month, or you can pay for more

[undone verge]

200%

[terse lily]

You have to actually sub to their patreon to get access to some of the rewards, not just buy the damn tokens

You could just do it yourself with a pc though

[undone verge]

Thats why I'm fine with the base game being retail and no official microtransactions for cool stuff. More than enough to earn in game imo

It would be nice to replay expeditions but I've dealt with this TLE irritation on Sea of Thieves.

[terse lily]

I would happily pay HG a couple bucks to unlock past expeditions to play

[runic pumice]

or more ship slots...

[naive mist]

Maybe after last expedition 🤞 we dont know how many there will be tho

[undone verge]

This since it falls under traditional quality dlc terms. Actual goal to accomplish, replayability and rewards. I agree it'd be worth it.

[terse lily]

Don't scare me with "last" expedition. NMS expeditions for a hundred years! WHEEEEEEw!

[naive mist]

We got 18 slots cold storage not long ago

Cant store ships with cargo tho

[cunning iris]

...and more slots for saved appearances.
C'mon, Sean, the only slots you didn't increase in the last... how many years now?

[spring raptor]

I have just completed my exercise goal for today, yipee!

[tulip oar]

hooray

[undone verge]

Should be default 1 slot per race so 5 saves

[spring raptor]

Lol

[naive mist]

Should we tell him

[spring raptor]

Anyone found a good reason to set up a farm on a honey planet yet?

[tulip oar]

I like cooking

[cunning iris]

...make it six.

[naive mist]

Ingredients farms are nit relible tho

[spring raptor]

I always thought they were cool, but never had a good reason to set up a farm on one

[undone verge]

Who am I missing? Oh Sentinels?

[spring raptor]

...

[sudden anchor]

Wait, so what's the trick to jetpacking for long distances non-stop like I've seen on Reddit?

[spring raptor]

Dramatic music ques

[naive mist]

Keep going

[queen arch]

Collecting honey is probably one of the only reliable ones, cuz honey deserts

[queen arch]

While walking forward, Melee then Jetpack

[spring raptor]

I do Melle attack and rocket boot boost at the same time

I go pretty far

[undone verge]

Gek, Korvax, Vykeen, Traveler, Autophage...?

[naive mist]

Aaand

[spring raptor]

Ding ding ding

[sudden anchor]

Oh

[undone verge]

Obligatory Loki TELLLL MEEEEE

[sudden anchor]

I've seen people flying around for a loooooooong time

[queen arch]

Well the only way to jetpack for an extremely long time is either to be in a heat storm, or install mods on PC

Jetpack tanks can indeed be upgraded significantly, but to a limit

[cunning iris]

Also cooking. One of the cakes I think.

[tulip oar]

Let's keep media here NMS-related @spring raptor

[spring raptor]

Kk

[sudden anchor]

https://www.reddit.com/r/NoMansSkyTheGame/comments/1o7qpsv/flying_around_with_my_jetpack_is_my_new_favorite/

"Install nutrient ingestor, get max jetpack upgrades into corresponding slots, eat grease pies, marvel at how much jet packing you can do. on a gravitational anomaly planet you’ll probably just go from ground to space."

[naive mist]

|| aerons, diplomats ||

[sudden anchor]

Interesting

[sleek quest]

||the many travellers||

[queen arch]

Jetpacks do not operate like this in the vanilla game

[sudden anchor]

Damn it.

[queen arch]

This was likely used https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/3128

[sudden anchor]

SEAN MAKE IT HAPPEN

Or I quit nms.

[queen arch]

No matter how much jetpack energy you get, you don't magically start flying like iron man

[sudden anchor]

FML

[spring raptor]

I use s class upgrades, Sentinel fragments, and auophage upgrades, and I also use rocket boots and fall recharge, anything I'm missing? Oh yeah, I also use explosive trail

[naive mist]

Ok bye jk

[cunning iris]

I think the trail choice isn't a factor

[sudden anchor]

But ya...the mod might be worth it just for this

[queen arch]

The sentinel and autophage upgrades do not improve jetpack usage outside of reducing life support drain.

That is what "Fuel Efficiency" does, and nothing more

[spring raptor]

Oh.. kk

Right i forgot the actual name and ill be more careful about spoilers

[frigid kraken]

I like using the mech exocraft, never knew it would be easier to deal with Brood Mothers with this thing

[spring raptor]

Imagine being able to equip laylaps with weapons

Or have him auto collect dropped loot for you

Then you can use minotuar ai, and laylaps in a fight

[naive mist]

Weapons? Put him on exocraft
TAKE ME TO THE SLAUGHTER BEEP BOOP

[inner pumice]

Why aren't there any fauna on abandoned mode

[cunning iris]

Laylaps' villain arc.

[undone verge]

They abandoned the mode...

[spring raptor]

? Yeah but we already have a minotuar Ai that fights for you, so you can deal double damage with ninotuar fighting with Ai, and you fighting with your multitool, so why would it need double ai?

[tawdry perch]

actually he goes pew pew when u bring him to battle

[frigid kraken]

what name do you call your Exocraft bots? I call mine Ethan, named after the robot soldier from Infinite Warfare's campaign

[spring raptor]

I can't believe that out of my entire fishing catalog, I only have like 1/4 of a pages worth discovered, out of like 20 pages..

Imagine robo fish

I'm trying to figure out why liquidator mech upgrade is B class, but hard frame upgrades is A class, when Liquidator is better

[naive mist]

I can 1 shot everything so i dont need any ai to help..but it would be cool to see laylaps fighting and actualy doing something.

[cunning iris]

You know what to do...
Gotta catch'em all.

[spring raptor]

I miss the normal minotuars boost nozzles

But the hard frame and liquidator are just loos knobs, instead of fixed vectors

That's the one thing that the normal minotuar has better

[naive mist]

And u can color it

[jovial solar]

most reasonable combat update idea fr

[spring raptor]

Initiating Droid merging

Beep boop bop

[frigid kraken]

The Orbital Exocraft thing is the best upgrade, want your exocraft but don't have the mats, call in your freighter and have it orbtital dropped to you like it's Titanfall

[naive mist]

Well laylaps wanted us to get the minotaur. So why not add more to the quest and continue his story and upgrade him to ultron lvl

[spring raptor]

The atlas calls you

YAASSSSS

[naive mist]

From sweet beep boop toaster to destroyer of worlds

[naive mist]

Tell him i will call back later

[spring raptor]

Lmfao

[clever merlin]

Is Atlas intentionally named to sound like Allah?

[naive mist]

Atlas was the name of irl supercomputer
