[maiden badge]

every new update makes me feel like a noob again

[stark heath]

This game has so much stuff to do i cant really keep up with ideas at all

[jaunty nimbus]

always something i missed, never knew was in the game, or changed..

[stark heath]

I just bought the game just for the collecting and building

And i got something more

[hardy tendon]

Just another day of the majority of the galaxies mankind making more space weed farms

[jaunty nimbus]

thats me, i love the building and collecting, the more i can get and build and craft, the more fun i have, and i like to work the grind for it

[maiden badge]

that and me finding cool shit

[hardy tendon]

Saaaaaaame

[stark heath]

I personally kinda have a problem with minecraft but im unsure if its not just the fact that I completely overplayed minecraft to hell speaking,
But Minecraft makes every single thing something different to collect if you wanna build with it
And NMS what does is make you only need around 7 materials, but it still feels different cuz the stuff you mine has completely different look and vibe

[keen ginkgo]

I like gathering knowledge, and figuring out an easier way to share it. Aside from lore, I want to figure out an easy way to explain refiner recipes because theres like 1000 of them most players will never learn about without searching

[stark heath]

Less stuff to collect, more building

[narrow vigil]

This game is like a fidget spinner for people with ADHD

[stark heath]

Btw i actually like Vanilla Minecraft, its addicting but im tired of playing minecrsft i will admit

[narrow vigil]

I just can't get back into that

[maiden badge]

my big goal at the moment is to spread the knowledge of glass systems as much as I can

[keen ginkgo]

The game is the AuDHD entertainment

[stark heath]

Im actually sometimes feeling like im not pauing enough attention and in result i do less than i couldve been doing

The expedition kinda proved it to me

[hardy tendon]

It ain't for me. Can't focus on one thing lol. And with how this game just lets you do whatever. I get all over the place and wound getting bored by accident lmao

[narrow vigil]

I don't want to go through the hassle of all the mods to make the game how I used to play it. But plain vanilla Minecraft just feels so lacking without them

[keen ginkgo]

I find it funny that lately I prefer this game's building system over others because of the difficulties working with it

[neat fable]

Try Terraria if you haven't already.

[tulip oar]

whacky

[narrow vigil]

Because you can do such random things with the build system that when you finally figure out how to do something it's even more rewarding. Than just snapping pieces together

[keen ginkgo]

If the weirdness of nms building system didnt exist, we wouldnt have all the stuff we can make

[stark heath]

Honestly dont wanna
I played so many games where the point is to kill enemies
Im kinda tired of it and im looking for games where it either doesnt have combat or has combat but it isnt focused on that At all

[keen ginkgo]

I almost wish it doesnt get changed for lnf, lol

[hardy tendon]

Halloween hasn't even started yet ;-;

[narrow vigil]

Ark has a similar build system. But without the glitches, randomness and heavy customization. And there's a big difference between building in each game because of that

[stark heath]

I have combat in NMS turned off i do not enjoy it

[maiden badge]

I like games like this and minecraft where you can point at the greater procgen and know that things are inevitably messed up due to fundamental limits.

[stark heath]

Btw in derelict ships if i have combat turned off is there still danger??

[hardy tendon]

I agree. Almost any wnd game plauers has an ungodly op starship lol

[stark heath]

I honestly think not all games should strive to feel like THEY HAVE TO add combat

Make more games where there is no combat

[jaunty nimbus]

man, ive been playing minecraft since "Cave Game".....its come such a long way.

[narrow vigil]

I doubt they will deviate much from the No Man's sky build system. I could almost see it being a direct copy just with a different user interface.

The build system is very unique and allows peak creativity from the user. Something HG loves to showcase

[stark heath]

Minecraft is awesome but im just tired of constsntly playing minecraft

I needed to move on from it

[narrow vigil]

And if they do hamstring the build system to be less creative it'll just turn people off who are used to building in this game.

[hardy tendon]

I feel like combat can add depth to a game so long as it fits well for what the game is. Ya know? Not something forced, like u said lol

[keen ginkgo]

My only wish is for more snap points between different types of parts, lol

[narrow vigil]

All they will hear is

"We were able to do this and no man's sky. Why don't you let us do that in this game"

[maiden badge]

exactly. it's their formula, and it works. I don't see why they'd want to make it substantially different

[narrow vigil]

They're not going to open that door 😂

[sleek quest]

Roblox?

[jaunty nimbus]

try enshrouded

[supple wagon]

this games cool but whens the tutorial end

its getting kinda borin

[keen ginkgo]

UAG has been a lifesaver for me when it comes to building cubes and pipes aligned with the rest of things

[sleek quest]

Right when you unlock anomaly

[supple wagon]

im creating chromatic metal rn

[stark heath]

Yeah

I honestly think what makes Astroneer good is that you dont destroy hazardous plants by having to shoot at them
You just play around with the environment

[supple wagon]

from copepr

[viral summit]

imo i think combat works for this game, i actually think they should expand upon how combat works. i'd love to see more galactic federations you can go to war with

[olive ice]

telling someone who's getting tired of playing combat-focused games to try a combat-focused game...

[stark heath]

Played i dont enjoy it anymore as i used to

[jaunty nimbus]

i meant for the building

[sleek quest]

Ah okay, you are in the base building process the tail end of the tutorial

[stark heath]

Btw im in general tired of the look of Minecraft i dont think i like it anymore

[sleek quest]

You are making the hyperdrive I assume

[desert sun]

You're new then. You probably have like 20 more minutes of tutorial if that's all you do

[supple wagon]

try paper mario

[stark heath]

If a game is minecraft mechanics focused i will not like it probably

[supple wagon]

ty

[desert sun]

If you're getting the hyperdrive

[neat fable]

I think you can avoid the combat in Stardew Valley but it's still there.
Anyways, OT.

[olive ice]

i suppose what you got tired of is the survival craft genre

[zealous mist]

play trailmakers

[desert sun]

If it's the base computer like an hour

[supple wagon]

if ur tired of combat play super paper mario

[viral summit]

try playing a game like balatro where the main goal is to try out the cool things :3

[maiden badge]

SOMEONE GETS IT HOLY PEAK

[sleek quest]

Baldur's Gate 3 is amazing

[maiden badge]

-# fr though I get on minecraft for an entire 2 weeks and then I can't deal with it anymore.

[stark heath]

Btw i still like combat games i just play them more occasionally, but i just want variety in my gaming
And i been playing pretty much only combat games so thats why i stopped paying for games with combat

Imagine playing one genre for 2 years everyday, you would get tired of it

[hardy tendon]

Yea. I feel like No Man's Sky would fit well with combat as a part of exploring and adventure rather than an actual core part how you have to play the game. I think it'd be nice to expand on the combat in terms of new weapons and enemies.... With fighting only being a path you can take to resolve issues like depots or what not lol

[sleek quest]

Want something indie? You have ded cells, hadeez, stay the spire and balatro

[desert sun]

We do need a combat update

[keen ginkgo]

I kinda want to suggest some games, but I'm also reaching a point where I know I'm gonna be between fixations, lol

[sleek quest]

Want some midless rougelike fun? Brotato

[stark heath]

I honestly think they need to make the weapons in NMS more powerful to destroy plants and such

Like a new way of collecting materials

[limpid gale]

Very nearly almost lost my permadeath save due to a stupid sentinel hardframe that kept regenerating as if it was being repaired by 3 sentinels at once

[supple wagon]

play bad piggies

[limpid gale]

and it was stun immune

[maiden badge]

rovio fell off, unlike hg

[limpid gale]

wtf

[stark heath]

Lol played it when i was little

[supple wagon]

its still fun

i love making contraptions

[sleek quest]

It's just NMS corvette building but 2D

[hardy tendon]

That'd actually be cool if they added a whole new form of mining underground. Where you'd actually have to watch out for crumbling roofs while certain elements are only obtainable from the deep rocks lol

[sleek quest]

What are your preferences?

[viral summit]

i like games that are procedurally generated :3

[maiden badge]

nms and some boards of canada/radiohead at full volume

[stark heath]

I think they need to do a cave update

Caves in this game are kinda boring after a while

[sleek quest]

Roguelikes

[hardy tendon]

Why's ur name mommy?

[sleek quest]

Lost a bet

[viral summit]

i own lots of those :3

[keen ginkgo]

I don't think they can, at least not very easily

[stark heath]

Tbh interesting name cuz it sounds like Mummy

[viral summit]

and i made 3 myself >w<

[sleek quest]

That's amazing

[hardy tendon]

Surprised you thought you'd win the bet to begin with lol

[stark heath]

I mean i guess

[sleek quest]

"Nah, I'd win"

Gleam:

[stark heath]

Btw if someone has non combat sandbox games to recommend i might try them out

[hardy tendon]

⚫👄⚫🔪

[stark heath]

Just reminder that i play old gen playstation sooo

PS4 exacly

[tulip oar]

try asking around in #other-games

[stark heath]

Okay thanks

[wicked grail]

how long is the new server picture been up?

[sleek quest]

Hot take, the Cursed exped frigate ruins freighter screenshots

[wicked grail]

oh, it's because of the Halloween

[tulip oar]

yeah i'd say it can

[paper fern]

Is breach peak or weak

[stark heath]

The previous one gave off that I JUZT WANNA BE A PART OF YOUR SYMPHONY ♪🌈🌈🐬🐬🐬

[hardy tendon]

They kind are. Like whole new biomes only found in caves. Like I said, things only obtainable IN caves lol

[stark heath]

Honedtly incredible so far

Peak, expanding on the space walk mechanic

[paper fern]

PrIUSSS peak I I. H h u I.

[stark heath]

Giving gou a purpose to do it

[sleek quest]

Yeah you find Cobalt and Vegemite in caves

[paper fern]

I haven’t been able to hop on yet so I’ll see

[stark heath]

Cobalt is kinda useless tbh

[stark heath]

I csnt remember when i needed cobalt lasy time

[paper fern]

Cobalt and… Vegemite???

[sleek quest]

Settlement housing upgrades:

[sleek quest]

Yeah that thing you get when you mine the stalagmites

[hardy tendon]

Eh...I dunno. They seem a bit impractical to look for there since you can just hunt for a whole planets filled with cobalt depsoits n stuff

[maiden badge]

could always render a planet uninhabitable for 93 years

[daring berry]

Who here has the name Redleaderx57?

[paper fern]

That’s cobalt but

[sleek quest]

No the thing other than cobalt

[paper fern]

Nobody

[daring berry]

No no, like I have them added in game but I can't remember their discord

[sleek quest]

You can use the search feature

[stark heath]

I think they just need to make new stuff that uses those materials that are rarely used

[stark heath]

I mean like decorstions and building things

[daring berry]

That's why I'm here unfortunatley

[sleek quest]

Okay so, my next creative project, Super destroyer AND Pelican One

[paper fern]

@redleader has no thingy autofill thing

[sleek quest]

Yeah maybe their steam name is different from dicsord name

[daring berry]

Ugh, I can't remember their discord it's what makes me upset

It is

[paper fern]

Ohhh I thought meant on teh cord

[stark heath]

I think they could add like new electricity things something like minecrsft redstone

I want to be able to make things spin

[daring berry]

Sorry y'all

[neat fable]

search for who you talked to. for your old conversation

[maiden badge]

get in a session with them and ask them?

[daring berry]

Talked to them via VC

[sleek quest]

We have electricity

[stark heath]

I dont think we are able to make things spin tho

[chrome rock]

Post in VC chat then

[sleek quest]

We are not cavemen Greg, we have technology.

[stark heath]

I want to make something like a windmill

[stark heath]

How can ypu know maybe i am a caveman

[maiden badge]

if nms gets the double piston extender pulse extender 4x4 flush slime block door I am SO outta here

[sleek quest]

You didn't get the reference

[stark heath]

No 🌈🐬

[stark heath]

Imagine they turn everything into a cube for april foold

[maiden badge]

what would be the nms version of a creeper? a sentinel that just constantly flies towards you and kamikazes?

[stark heath]

A crab sentinel

[tulip oar]

explosive predator fauna

[sleek quest]

If NMS gets an electric systems update I will buy 3 copies of NMS and do a giveaway on this server with the staff permission.

[tulip oar]

they're already annoying as is

[chrome rock]

This would be neat for a sentinel to do. Only thing that did close imo was the cursed expedition squid things

[tulip oar]

hmok

[stark heath]

Im honestly kinda obsessed with the new breach update because of the abandoned ships thing

[narrow vigil]

Heat seeking mini blobs that distract you with cuteness......then 💥

[sleek quest]

I for the life of me cannot find a predatory fauna

[stark heath]

Like this shit is crazy

ALSO THE NEW COLLECTING SOUND EFFRCTS ARE SOO SAFISFYIJF

[maiden badge]

I thought those vigilant eye stone guardians did that as well but I can't tell

[stark heath]

Alien Isolation ahhh

[sleek quest]

Hello Mr Orangutan Trainer?

[narrow vigil]

This guy is trying to kill me 👀

[chrome rock]

They like to run toward you and swing the arms things, not sure I've seen them divebomb a player but maybe I kill them too quick to know

[sleek quest]

New derelict enemies

[modest timber]

Different than the current wiring system, like a Redstone system or something? The current system could use some love...

[maiden badge]

yeah that's what it was. they fly up to you and melee

I think the eye explodes or something though.

[umbral sequoia]

Am I going crazy or did the icon for this discord change to a more purple version?

[sleek quest]

An overhaul or update to that system

[sleek quest]

DISSONANCE DETECTED

[stark heath]

One day they are gonna add a stalker enemy to the derelict ships trust

[sleek quest]

Like, what's the point of powered doors if you cannot make a functioning garage?

[lyric thunder]

I'd like to be able to Space Walk and land on an Asteroid and Mine it with me gun. Live my Fantasies

[chrome rock]

I'd just like to say that the fix to the recipes catalog last patch was amazing, so glad I don't have to keep flipping through multiple catalogs to see alternate recipes

[stark heath]

Imsgine having to crawl through the vents as the creature just appears on the screen

[modest timber]

Automation (input/process/output+logistics) and local storage would go a long way to making it more meaningful. "Hoppers, chests, and redstone" basically.

[maiden badge]

so how are people out here punching the shields off a pirate freighter like they're outta invincible or something when I can't even punch on my own in space

[sleek quest]

Maybe having interconnected systems in freighter or corvette that automatically refines stuff

[modest timber]

You have to shoot down the shield emitters in the trenches.

[stark heath]

Derelict ships are the least relaxing place in the game now

[lyric thunder]

There's generators on rhe bottom of Freighters. Get inside the shields. Destroy the Turrets. They're relatively easyish

[sleek quest]

https://youtu.be/Io1ZnD5jb6o

[lyric thunder]

Fk my English

[hybrid venture]

In freighters??

[maiden badge]

is it a vr thing

[sleek quest]

They weren't exactly relaxing before either kad

[sleek quest]

yes

[maiden badge]

womp womp

[sleek quest]

But I would like to just get out of my ship and use my MT to take out shields

[modest timber]

Oh, thats a thing we can do now.... right

[maiden badge]

my muscle memory's already burned into it for them. knock out the engines right to left, swoop through the left trench from back to front, go over the front and knock out the right trench front to back, then do a 180 and shoot the fuel rods and it brings it down

[chrome rock]

I do the exact same thing

They sort of always put the right trench closest to the player when they zone in, so it makes sense

[stark heath]

I honestly think the third camera in derelict ships is mucu better than anywhere else
Its much less clumsy and everything

[stark heath]

I think its the new maybe

Sorry but third person in NMS is just clumsy sometimes

[tulip oar]

i've never had issues with it

[maiden badge]

a setting where it's first person, but third person every time you're riding/driving something would be sick

[neat fable]

I switch between them depending what I'm doing, even in ship or exo

[stark heath]

I will admit third person riding is much better

First person riding in just weird

[chrome rock]

Derelict freighters used to have big problems in third person with clipping

[neat fable]

3rd person gives you a better view but there's no cockpit HUD

[stark heath]

Honestlt the new accessories are kinda bad

[maiden badge]

yeah that's not to say first person isn't useful. coordinates and seeing temperature levels when staying inside ship

[stark heath]

They load badly like sometimes they just dont and i think its all of them

I mean the character accessories btw

[modest timber]

I dont even bother with the engines anymore. A cheapo photon cannon c-class corvette can shred the shield emitters and take down the hull before it can get away. Engines are a distraction.

[maiden badge]

yeah, but it's something I do anyways considering infra melts it

[neat fable]

destroy every viable target. I shoot all the planter things in derelicts too

[frail nimbus]

Is it just me, or can the corvettes absolutely carry a permadeath playthrough? You can just fly around scrap worlds and get millions along with parts to improve it as you go.

[chrome rock]

Do you even shoot all the exploding barrels?

[neat fable]

yes

for practical reasons, so I don't accidently blow myself up

[keen ginkgo]

The screen in the cockpit also shows relative locations of things like planets, stations, black holes, and freighters

[chrome rock]

Permadeath isnt that hard to begin with, but it definitely makes it a lot cheesier

[maiden badge]

true but I mean, that function got slightly less useful when I can just mark planets

[spice rivet]

Four (make it eight now) system with red water planets (they offend me) back to back. Holy crap my bad luck never changes. Trying to find a planet myself is hopeless lol.

[keen ginkgo]

Oh it came in really handy for me in breach for finding where the dang black hole was, lol

[frail nimbus]

Agreed, which is why my playthroughs often have the hardest possible settings and I still don't think it's that difficult, especially on an irradiated planet for the nice boost to launch fuel availability.

[chrome rock]

I had a really hard time using it to find the black hole for navigation for the first time 😆

The whole 3D map thing just didn't make sense at first when I thought I was flying toward it and it turned out I was lined up horizontally but way off vertically

[maiden badge]

for black holes there's a little noticeable speck, especially when you move the sun around in photo mode

[modest timber]

It's similar to Elite: Dangerous, so I was familiar with it when I saw it. Get all planets on a plane, then supercruise perpendicular to the plane for a half minute, turn around, and the system is arrayed before you without obstruction.

[narrow vigil]

That's Matthew McConaughey

[chrome rock]

Thats a smart way to do it, I'll have to remember this

[modest timber]

That's the idea, yup! ☝️

[sleek quest]

Well lads, I am gonna go Snorkmimimi, See you tomorrow

[pearl sable]

1st paradise moon as my first purple planet visit after finishing the stellar quest

Only has light showers too

[neat fable]

Somebody robbed my settlement.

[maiden badge]

when that happens I step outside the building and back in and everything generates

So random

heyyyy I've seen this before

[trim solar]

I remember worlds 2 fucking up my resort planet that I spent literally like a week and a half trying to find

paradise moon with white grass

it was beautiful

[chrome rock]

And what did it turn into?

[trim solar]

poopy purple corrupted world with radiation

[pearl sable]

I need to ss it when it isn't raining. Might build my stasis farm here

[neat fable]

what is the value/use of communications stations?
I guess I get that they let you leave a message without having to claim a base location.
how can I delete them?

[trim solar]

my computer can't really handle nms anymore since it's getting old

[maiden badge]

you don't

[pearl sable]

Might have to manually go to them

[maiden badge]

they just pile up

[trim solar]

yeah they're

like a plague with no cure

[chrome rock]

If players didn't drop them they wouldnt be an issue. It's like the thousands of bases that pop up at rendezvous points or the last stop in an expedition.... People so thirsty

[maiden badge]

hi gravity inversion can you leave me the hell alone

[neat fable]

I don't mean delete others, just my own

[chrome rock]

I think it would be great to delete others' though

[neat fable]

it would be good if I could even delete my own. you can't delete them, only move them. you can have one per planet.

[chrome rock]

I would be that guy who took an hour or two to delete them all 😁

[pearl sable]

Still will look out for a verdant planet though, or a nice habitable exotic. Funny thing too is I thought moons didnt have water and yet I get showers lol. Guess thats purple systems for you

[timber haven]

Think you can report them but probably not your own...
Could be useful for directions or something but usually just a random message in them.

[chrome rock]

They are very infrequently helpful

[neat fable]

just avoid populated locations like that.
I have never run into some other players base or comm station in the wild though.
Guess they can be useful for community locations.

[tight quartz]

what on earth is this galactic core ive been jumping and jumping across multiple systems and still not there and i read the galactic core blurb

[narrow vigil]

Are you talking about my home?

[neat fable]

I dunno if I wanna do all the work but I'm thinking some modders could make an expansion mod for the game, like has some missions, an adventure and unlocks some tech like a recipe for rangefinders, a use for curio weapons like the solar gun, etc. It could use the glass stars and shadow stars and add some fan-lore for it.

[maiden badge]

seeing them being acknowleged would certainly be something.

[pearl sable]

Pretty. What lush type?

[maiden badge]

looks to be a dissonant jungle

[narrow vigil]

It's temperate and it's a broken resource world if anybody wants to farm there

[neat fable]

late-late game is locating a purple shadow star by mapping an entire region. ^_^

[narrow vigil]

All over the place are buried salvage data next to caches. Two resonators side by side or meshed together. Groups of radiant shards 6-10 a piece

Short bit of farming I walked out with stacks of shards and almost a dozen echo locators

hello guys

[maiden badge]

this is my new friend his name is jonathan everyone say hi jonathan

[scarlet merlin]

Hi Jonathan

[umbral sequoia]

That's only galaxy 13...super easy and fast to get there. Go to a featured base in Eissentam(galaxy 10) then use portals to get to galactic core and jump through galactic core 3 times. But make sure to use a ship empty of all tech that can be removed except the Indium drive. a MT empty of all optional tech. And uninstall all the exosuit tech you can. Super fast and easy to get there. You can make it in less than an hour.

[maiden badge]

-# ....he probably asked for a taxi so he didn't have to core jump 3 times

[umbral sequoia]

Sure but it's a super short and easy trip. Very little effort involved.

[tulip oar]

taxi easier :v

less damage to deal with

[sterile kiln]

Dang, I’m 91 hours deep into NMS and am feeling like a true enthusiast. 🫡

[umbral sequoia]

IMO Hello Games made it too easy to cross galaxies. I kinda get why they did it, because otherwise almost nobody would get to the outer galaxies and there's 255 legitimately accessible galaxies but still. There is something to be said about a relaxing 4+ hour warp trip. Probably much shorter now with freighters doing 5k+ ly jumps without any SC slots dedicated to the hyperdrive and more with SC slots. But still...nice, relaxing trip. It's been years since I did one of them.

RIP Jonathan 😭

[maiden moth]

Core jumps are still hard, I have travelled trough more than 80 galaxies, and I can confirm that it takes a lot patience and effort

[timber haven]

Had to go repair a couple frigates. Got done and decided to admire my pirate dreadnaught freighter. Seen something stuck on it, got closer and realized it was a solar ship lodged on some large arch like structure.

[keen ginkgo]

To be fair, the crashing happens near the destinations rather than on the way

[sterile kiln]

[umbral sequoia]

Eh, time consuming but not hard or with much effort. There is another trick too. If you jump through one black hole before jumping through the first galactic center you will spawn close to the center of the next galaxy...this will keep happening until you close and reboot the game. So you can even cut the whole finding and activating portals step.

[maiden moth]

I may try doing that

[timber haven]

Probably tried flying through the arch TBH. Either way massive fail lol.

[last furnace]

Finished making a new thing in #nms-media message , trying to go the fan-made story route for NMS

Got a bunch of us online to do some filming stuff

Can of energy drink in one hand, NMS on the screen and keyboard in the other lol

[uncut orbit]

Question for those who have a lot of time invested in this game... I have 12 hours in the game, haven't really done a whole lot I am past the point to where I can travel to other galaxies... My base has been quickly developing and I am wondering if I should seek out a better location than I have for a main base setup. Is there an idea planet that I can start building a main base and not have to move it again?

[last furnace]

This game really brought back! ❤️

[last furnace]

Really depends on the style of world you want to build on.

Paradise Planets are popular as they are essentially worlds as close to Earth as you can get... Basically, habitable, peaceful worlds, mix of land and oceans, abundant in resources.

However

[keen ginkgo]

First of all, do you mean galaxies or star systems?

[last furnace]

I love airless worlds

For the atmosphere

Barren wastelands, but look so cool

And low gravity aha

[uncut orbit]

yeah sorry

star systems

[maiden badge]

if y'all are a civ, have y'all claimed the glass stars in your region(s?) yet?

[uncut orbit]

Idc if its close to earth I just want somewhere I can find resources when needed

[last furnace]

Ooo, again depends on what you're looking for, it comes down to personal taste for the sort of vibe you want. Or if you want to build a mining world for lots of units like Indium Systems.

[compact plover]

@uncut orbit I got lucky and there was a Bountiful Planet I based on in my starting system... are you on normal mode or permadeath?

[last furnace]

We have some of our explorers going for the two hidden star types 🙂

[maiden badge]

sick lol

[uncut orbit]

normal first playthrough didn't even know that was an option

[maiden badge]

don't leave 3E8 untouched

[compact plover]

yeah, Permadeath can't see normal/survival players. I'm on permadeath, otherwise I'd dump resources on you

[last furnace]

No territory is beyond us heheh

[cunning iris]

moog39 of 3E8

[compact plover]

and what is this I'm hearing about "glass" stars? I know purple systems are unlocked lategame, but glass stars is new to me, or is that just glitching portal jumping.

[uncut orbit]

As enticing as that is I prefer the grind, I just realized that some of the new items I can build require me to travel outside of my system and was wondering if their were planets that were prefered for later game

[compact plover]

@uncut orbit Not really. It's down to asthethics. Some like to build on extreme worlds or at the bottom of a 1200-foot ocean

Or even forgo a planet base and just use a freighter.

[keen ginkgo]

Im sure moog is gonna explain more, but its basically stars only partially accessible by normal means

[keen gull]

-# (that's my personal favorite strategy)

[uncut orbit]

Alright thanks for the advice guys haha

[maiden badge]

get a portal code for any region you want, except start it with . it takes you to a star that doesn't show up on the map and it shows up as a different star. you can't warp to it, but you can portal to it.

[last furnace]

If you want resources and all that.

Find a Level 3 economy Indium (Blue) Star System that has a Paradise planet included in 5+ worlds for the System, then you've found a System that will typically have plenty of most of what you need 🙂

[maiden badge]

-# the different star you see the system as on the map is also the region's shadow star counterpart, meaning you can find them reliably and incredibly easy now.

[compact plover]

So it is glitching portals. Or is that just a weird-ity of the math system used to generate addresses

[last furnace]

Generally supports most things with only specific items requiring travel

[maiden badge]

the latter

[uncut orbit]

thanks I will look out for it

[last furnace]

There are two types of hidden Star Systems aren't there? Dark/Phantom and Glass?

They're difference being how you get to them

[maiden badge]

shadow stars are the ones that portals don't work on.

[last furnace]

Shadow, not dark yeah aha

[maiden badge]

there's one in Hilbert like that, I went and got first contact on its corresponding glass system

[keen ginkgo]

There being systems that portals dont work on really confuses me, lol

[last furnace]

We've mapped out a fair few around our nearby regions, had some of us place some outposts down to let us return to them

[cunning iris]

Perfect places for lonely people.

[last furnace]

Save Editor is useful for making it easier to travel and discover them if you don't have someone already on one, or know the means via ingame.

[cunning iris]

No need to share coordinates.

[keen ginkgo]

More like sharing coordinates won't work

Man, I already find that purple systems can be rather isolating due to most players seeming to not have progressed to that point, but theres even more layers of separation, lol

[compact plover]

This is why I think they should make them accessible normally instead of a storylock. It's just another engine upgrade

[maiden badge]

purple systems have their own shadow stars, and unlike current normal shadow stars, there's no glass systems to portal to. you have to find it manually

[keen ginkgo]

The story lock makes sense

[compact plover]

yeah it does but i still like my way better 😛

[keen ginkgo]

Dang

[maiden badge]

back in hilbert they scoped out the smallest known region and went to every portal address in it in order to deduce the shadow star, because purple systems weren't a thing.

[compact plover]

Is Hilbert populated with lots of groups? I'm pissing about in that galaxy at the moment

[manic ravine]

confirmed cannot go to hilbert in expidetion

[compact plover]

(mostly because story took me to essiantam but I didn't go into a station and warped back, so no place to return to, heh)

[manic ravine]

i tried

it sends you back to the expedition start planet

do not save

exit and do not save immediately

[maiden badge]

if you have time, here's the coords to Delta Majoris Hilbert Umbra's glass star

[manic ravine]

what a great way for hellogames to troll people that think hilbert isnt abandoned

they wont allow you to exit euclid

thats so odd

how would it even be possible for anyone to make it there in time

its not like normal players had enough time

[keen ginkgo]

Why would expeditions ever allow jumping galaxies?

[manic ravine]

because its possible\

[keen ginkgo]

That's the exact reason why they wouldnt

[manic ravine]

well it made no sense to me when i fucked around and found out

glad it didnt save

[keen ginkgo]

If you jumped during an expedition, and it worked, youd softlock the game at best

[manic ravine]

well shit sent me back to start planet

what a slap in the face

4 hours

for nothing

[keen ginkgo]

Aka, the method to stop you from softlocking

[manic ravine]

at least 100 warps

[compact plover]

Would the organic frigate regenerate in a system? So eventually I'd have 30 clones of it? Or is it a one and done

[cunning iris]

It's fortunate that there's one in place 😅

[keen ginkgo]

Also it wasnt for nothing, you found out what happens

[manic ravine]

had anyone else

i bet they had

many had to have

by now

[keen ginkgo]

I dont think so

[manic ravine]

feel sorry for those that cannot save edit to fix their broken shit

once it respawns you

actually i dont know *what * happened

i exited

and did not save

all i know is , it said euclid galaxy and i was like wtf

[cunning iris]

...I'd assume the vast majority of players is just interested in completing the expedition... 😆

[manic ravine]

isnt that where i just was

im supposed to be in hilbert

[keen ginkgo]

"Supposed to be" is strong phrasing, lol

[manic ravine]

its not like they hard-barriered the galaxy

you could go anywhere

[maiden badge]

hilbert might only be the second galaxy, but I still respect when people live in it over euclid

[manic ravine]

like hellogames did not limit you to only the path

*thank god

[keen ginkgo]

Yeah, but youre still supposed to complete the expedition

[manic ravine]

never

im staying until they kick me out

im freeloading

[keen gull]

can you really call that freeloading

[manic ravine]

sure

[keen ginkgo]

I mean in regards to "intentional game design"

[keen gull]

you're not really getting much out of it

[manic ravine]

my build limit is no longer limited

i had build limit in normal save

im free now

more room now

so far i have 30 bases

[keen gull]

you haven't considered just like,

moving some of your inactive bases to a different save?

[keen ginkgo]

You can do that?

[keen gull]

with a save editor you could

[keen ginkgo]

Oh wait save editing

[cunning iris]

At this point it surprises me when someone lives in Euclid

[keen gull]

but with mods i'm pretty sure you can also remove the build limit, so

[cunning iris]

Oh, that should have been a reply to moog...

[manic ravine]

but yeah , the expeditions always give you more construction free space then you had in normal save

its like yay

[maiden badge]

it's fine. I get it lmao

[trim jetty]

it was kind of a jerk move to make us mess with corvettes in an expedition with all Abandoned systems, so you have the Long Walk to and from your ship

[manic ravine]

i built at least a single skyscraper on evry world

[keen gull]

i am no longer wondering how you maxed out your build limit

[manic ravine]

if you find one that is like rediculously tall, thats mine

and its not just prefab

or domes

[keen ginkgo]

Really? Once they get the option I think most players do end up choosing to stay in euclid

[tacit vigil]

Are there secondary objectives during Expeditions that aren’t listed in checkpoint goals, or will following the ones listed get me all the exclusive items?

[manic ravine]

theres one on the starting planet, hope you can find it

if you do , let me know

[keen ginkgo]

Was it within the upload limit? Lol

[manic ravine]

yeah sure

[keen gull]

in the event that i do ever go back to the starting planet, i might find it

[manic ravine]

you cant miss it

[maiden badge]

I never really got that "home" mentality from euclid, because it was overshadowed by me realizing there's all these other galaxies hardly anyone touches

[manic ravine]

well you can

but youll know when you see it

[keen gull]

i mean it's an entire planet, it's pretty easy to miss most things

[manic ravine]

its.. odd

theres skulls everywhere and plants

[cunning iris]

I was going to add that it shouldn't surprise me, but it does lol.
The fact is many people never finish Artemis Path, and many that do don't ||reset the simulation||.

[manic ravine]

i make my homes very tribal-like

[keen ginkgo]

I require a nest home, but I'm willing to move if I find a nicer place

[coral notch]

I'm curious has anyone ever seen a flower dog this big? They are normally like 0.7 meters tall when this one is like 2.7 meters

[keen ginkgo]

I just happen to be rather thorough in my search

[maiden badge]

and then after I was in eissentam, I realized there were an entire 24 other lush galaxies. fast forward to now

[compact plover]

Whats the very largest something can be? 5-6m?

[manic ravine]

wait you can find somebodys old stuff?
\

even if they left?

[coral notch]

I believe 8 meters naturally and maybe up to 12 meters with eggs

[keen ginkgo]

I think the farthest I've intentionally traveled from my prime save's spawn system is like, 20k ly, lol

[cunning iris]

...close perhaps? This is usually their size when I find them.

[keen gull]

what do you mean?

[manic ravine]

iif i get to where that planets were in normal save, will that shit still be there

or is building pointless

and its gonna get deleted

[keen gull]

are you asking if your expedition builds will still be there when you exit?

[manic ravine]

yes

i am

[keen gull]

they should be, if you uploaded them

[keen ginkgo]

If its uploaded, maybe. Idk when it comes to your save's build limit being reached

[keen gull]

i'm not sure what happens when- yeah

cause normally those new bases would just be added to your bases in your regular save

[manic ravine]

guess its time to go around to every base computer and destroy the base

[coral notch]

Mine are usually way smaller in my experience I just wanted to see if anyone had the same experience

[keen ginkgo]

I have bases from past expeditions that persisted

[manic ravine]

go to ones ive not been to in forver

and delete

[keen ginkgo]

But there were some others that I imagine didnt persist because I didnt upload them

[manic ravine]

idk how to do that with save edit yet

[cunning iris]

I have found some the size of blobs too. So there's that.

[keen gull]

i've never needed to, but it shouldn't be hard to find a tutorial on it

[manic ravine]

so when you have construction limit reached, thats when you know you effed up?

[keen gull]

i mean not necessarily effed up, just means you need to clear some space

[keen ginkgo]

I think theres a secret additional limit, but idk how it works

[manic ravine]

i want unlimited period

id never turn my game off

literally

[keen ginkgo]

Well, every base, and every part, is saved to your save file

[manic ravine]

if they let you build indefinitely a base, give me a few months or so and the thing will be teraformed

or be just filled with goddamn trees

[keen ginkgo]

Ehh

[keen gull]

it does become impractical after a certain point to keep all that data around, just because of how it has to be stored

[keen ginkgo]

Expanding a single base infinitely would most likely lead to the same issue that astroneer has with large bases

[neat fable]

then you'd complain because your game is slow

[manic ravine]

its just i would put grass and trees all over a barren planet

[narrow vigil]

Last I knew it was 3,000 parts per base and 16,000 parts per se file

[keen ginkgo]

Ive heard 21,000 parts

[keen gull]

yeah and your game would hate you for it

[manic ravine]

1,000,000,000 trees

[cunning iris]

Yep, there was a bump in the limit when Voyagers was released.

[maiden badge]

are you playing nms or running a powerpoint presentation?

[keen gull]

great way to turn your pc into an air fryer

[maiden badge]

the world may never know.

[manic ravine]

wdym

[keen gull]

they mean your frames are gonna go kerplunk

[keen ginkgo]

But the 3000 part limit isnt a hard limit, it just means the base cant be uploaded

[manic ravine]

not if i play potat setting

[keen gull]

no, even if you play potat setting

the performance gains from reduced graphical fidelity can only get you so far

[keen ginkgo]

If you play potat setting, you won't even see most of the base parts you place

[manic ravine]

basically the more shit you have the more you lag

i mean duh

why wouldnt it

its math

[lyric thunder]

Because I don't want it to.

Obviously

[manic ravine]

it aint rocket science

[narrow vigil]

Yeah it's not even close to that. Even when you add in 1,000 parts you can put in a freighter that's still only 17,000

[manic ravine]

but what is the tallest a building can be

[narrow vigil]

I hit the build part limit on three different save files back in the day

[keen ginkgo]

Similarly (though I find it kinda funny), in astroneer your save takes longer to load the more terrain you destroy

[manic ravine]

200 floors?

[narrow vigil]

One reason why I'm a nomad now 😂

[lyric thunder]

200 floor building in NMS?

[maiden badge]

turns out the first shadow star I found with the glass method has a paradise planet. shadow star planet hunting is about to go through the roof

[lyric thunder]

We could make skyscrapers

Entire cities

[manic ravine]

would be like nothing because ship would go above it in a milisecond

and then youd be like aww

[keen ginkgo]

How far back in the day? Lol

[lyric thunder]

I would sure hope so. It's a space shape, after all

[coral notch]

Here's a spooky ocean pic I got just now for Halloween :)

[manic ravine]

cant even fly a survey camera drone around

hey thats a great idea, a camera drone

go places so you dont have to

[lyric thunder]

Spooky

[manic ravine]

too hot or toxic planet ? no problem

dont even have to leave the ship

[keen ginkgo]

That's called photo mode

[lyric thunder]

Use photomode to survey

[narrow vigil]

https://www.reddit.com/r/NMSCoordinateExchange/s/1rBqm1uuFj

Was my last big build. After that I really just couldn't find anymore inspiration

[manic ravine]

no no i mean it would be like a remote controlled thingy

except ur not in it

and are impervious to damage

[maiden badge]

holy panchiko machine

[neat fable]

sounds like the photo mode camera

[lyric thunder]

I'm so cool I'm already impervious to damagd

[jaunty nimbus]

i use phomode like a periscope

[narrow vigil]

I used to make games, race tracks, PVP arena and anything that would draw in the community. Kind of just got burnt out on it..,

[manic ravine]

photomode has a limit in distance and elevation

[lyric thunder]

I use photomode to make dope ass pictures.

I haven't taken one in awhile yet tho

Rly should

[manic ravine]

also it would be cool if you could make your third person camera free rotate

and not shoulder

[keen ginkgo]

You can

Pretty sure

[maiden badge]

I use photo mode to look at the landscape around me when I'm flying around an extreme hellhole that's covered in fog

[lyric thunder]

You can

[manic ravine]

mod?

[keen ginkgo]

No

[narrow vigil]

Nope

[keen ginkgo]

Settings, but i forgot which

[manic ravine]

so it would be over shoulder anymore?

[narrow vigil]

I think it's either free camera or fixed camera

[keen ginkgo]

Its follow or free

[manic ravine]

damn , cant make distance more

*probably in save tho

[keen ginkgo]

I mean, you asked for rotation, not distance

[manic ravine]

when i said free rotate, i meant can get it off of third person shoulder view (gears of war third person mode)

[keen ginkgo]

To me it would be, it just doesnt change the distance

I wonder what controls would be needed for the distance, unless it was only able to be changed in settings

[manic ravine]

i like that when building a base you can make your camera high up

almost isometric

[keen ginkgo]

Feels like it always yeets my viewpoint far away from where I want it

[frosty scaffold]

guys will the atlas corvette parts be gone after the expedition?

[keen ginkgo]

Nah

[frosty scaffold]

where would you be a able to get them then?

[keen ginkgo]

But if you want to craft them yourself, you gotta do the expedition

[neat fable]

look at the sky before you switch to build cam to stop that

the ground prevents it from zooming away

[keen ginkgo]

Asking players who do have them

[frosty scaffold]

oh

[manic ravine]

would anti-air defenses be a good idea or a bad done?

[cunning iris]

HG will probably rerun the expedition some weeks from now -- can't complete it now?

[keen ginkgo]

What on earth does anti air defenses mean here? Lol

[manic ravine]

it didnt wrong text

[frosty scaffold]

yup

[manic ravine]

wrong text

phone lagged some

...no rerun?

[manic ravine]

i like how fishing wasnt as prevalent in this one

[neat fable]

chips (crisps if your brit, not fries) and gravy is a good combo. why didn't I think of that before.

[loud kite]

here some russian?

[manic ravine]

unlike the previous

[loud kite]

i need answer to one question

[frosty scaffold]

so just the atlas parts are limited, the new ones aren't?

[loud kite]

my fly is robbed

[keen ginkgo]

Was there more than one fishing quest in corvettes expedition?

[cunning iris]

Exactly

[manic ravine]

no it was last years

sorry

idk what was in sept 2024

[keen ginkgo]

Oh, you mean the fishing expedition

[manic ravine]

that shit sucked

[frosty scaffold]

k

[keen ginkgo]

The one where fishing as a mechanic was introduced

[manic ravine]

yes it sucked

[tulip oar]

!russianskylink @loud kite

[lime haven]

@loud kite https://discord.gg/NHryBSM

[keen ginkgo]

And its entire theme revolved around the new fishing features

[loud kite]

thx

[tulip oar]

[keen ginkgo]

Yeah I imagine most expeditions would have less fishing than it

[manic ravine]

game was still kinda shit back then , it only got good when purple systems got added

ect

i still played

[tulip oar]

[keen ginkgo]

Strange take, but sure, I guess

[manic ravine]

i deleted a lot of my old 2023 and 2024 bases

[tulip oar]

indeed

[manic ravine]

strange take?

there was loads less to do

[tulip oar]

i'd say NMS was good way before purple systems

in my opinion

[maiden badge]

it's still kinda halloween, if you're bored hit up some shadow stars

[neat fable]

IMO it's going down hill with the catering to everyone and everything.

[manic ravine]

hell yeah

[keen ginkgo]

For me its definitely Halloween

[manic ravine]

its going downhill you say?

well ill ride it into the ground

[maiden badge]

-# oh yeah it is for me too but ik someone's gonna knock me for saying it is when their timezone shows nov 1

[manic ravine]

youll have to kick me out of it

im not gonna ever leave

[neat fable]

yes, NMS is turning into an MMO or console experience game, just mindless make-work junk. Like big box games., just ramming things in.

[keen ginkgo]

Yeah I dont really see nms going downhill

[manic ravine]

its not got any microtransasstions

[tulip oar]

i don't see any MMO aspects, personally

[keen ginkgo]

I remember saying before that nms is the least mmo mmo to ever exist

[neat fable]

updates add little but new content to keep players in the game and keep the game community going.

[manic ravine]

majority of the time you are alone

[maiden badge]

multiplayer is bolted onto the side

[manic ravine]

i do not care for the online aspect, if that went away it wouldnt make me stop

[keen ginkgo]

Ngl, this is giving me Minecraft update debate flashbacks

[neat fable]

I don't like X-plat or MP

they drag the game down to lowest common denom

[keen ginkgo]

"These updates are so small and add so little content"
two updates ago added things that revolutionized the way the game is played

[maiden badge]

they switch back and forth between big and small if anything

[manic ravine]

its one of the few games where i prefer to either be alone, or with only one friend i know

and even with someone else , directions are a pain in the ass

"im lost where are you"

"same planet"

[keen ginkgo]

This past year we had purple systems and corvettes added

[umbral sequoia]

I completely agree but I guess it depends what everyone wants from the game. Corvettes were a huge thing for a lot of people. Personally my favorite update was probably Expeditions. Being able to go on expeditions and bring epic rewards back to the main save was huge for me. But given the player numbers my guess is Voyagers is probably the most popular one...customizable ships with ship interiors and space walking was a dream come true for many.

[manic ravine]

gas giants suck tho

[keen ginkgo]

Those arent the only thing in purple systems

[manic ravine]

ikr

giant planets too

water worlds

ect

[maiden badge]

there's definitely a lot of missed opportunities with them.

[keen ginkgo]

And they all have the newer type of terrain generation

[manic ravine]

but gas giants are a giant dissapointment

[tulip oar]

not really

[keen ginkgo]

I think the (intended) main attraction of gas giants is their moons

[maiden badge]

their take is valid for me. no clouds.

[manic ravine]

i built a skyscraper on one

and theres cool lightning all the time

its cool

[manic ravine]

perfect villian lair

[keen ginkgo]

Im not saying there isnt room for improvement, of course

[cunning iris]

I hope not 😆
Usually I visit the gas giant and leave the moons alone.

[manic ravine]

surface of gas giant is perfect evil lair

[maiden badge]

the way it snaps from the space texture to fog when flying down definitely isn't polished

[keen ginkgo]

I mainly think that because theyre guaranteed to have 5 moons

[manic ravine]

at night time theres constant thunderstorms

[keen ginkgo]

And at daytime!

[manic ravine]

yes

and the thunderstorms are nuclear bomb size

[keen ginkgo]

Usually I can barely tell the time of day on gas giants, lol

[umbral sequoia]

They do have a lot of moons. But my guess is the gas giants, non-gas giants, and deep oceans were the biggest attractions. I know that deep oceans was something I wished for since the game launched in 2016. The game was amazing before purple systems but deep oceans was a dream come true for me.

[maiden badge]

pretty easy
night is blue. day is obnoxious

[manic ravine]

its hard to build on them because gravity is so high

[keen ginkgo]

Gas giants always have 5 moons, the maximum amount a giant planet can have

[manic ravine]

am i right the gravity is higher?

or just jetpack is weaker\

[umbral sequoia]

I am aware, of course. I have some 7k hours in this game lol.

[manic ravine]

why does at least one or more of the moons suck tho

empty moon

barren moon

lifeless moon

ect

[keen ginkgo]

Thats like asking "why does at least one or more planet suck in every star system"

[manic ravine]

i mean its common

[maiden badge]

the hell you mean dead moons suck?

dead is one of my favorite biomes

[umbral sequoia]

6 planetary bodies is the max per system...any combination of planets and moons, 6 is the most any system can have and all giants(both gas and non-gas) have 5 moons.

[manic ravine]

is it all the ferrite dust?

and other stuff

[maiden badge]

it's a break from the life and constant activity on every single planet otherwise

[keen ginkgo]

Yeah, and the emphasis on that in the game seems to at least partially indicate to me that the guaranteed 5 moons, and the backdrop of the gas giant, is more of an attraction for gas giant systems than the surface

[neat fable]

DYK, the Atlas and blackhole have planet ID's (you can' tportal to them though). These are ID's 7 and 8, or 9. I think stations have a planet ID also.

[manic ravine]

i will admit its fun to use exocraft on them

the nomad can go like 300+ speed

on low grav moon

[keen ginkgo]

Also, the terrain generation is so interesting in purple systems, that its had me stop and admire the terrain on a dead giant before

[manic ravine]

same with the motorcycle

[pearl sable]

Whats broken resource mean?

[neat fable]

maybe also the anomaly

[umbral sequoia]

Gas giants are not very hospitable places to live. But worth setting up a base there for easy access to storm crystals to craft Warp Hypercores. The never ending storm is actually nice when you need a bunch of storm crystals...don't have to worry about the storm ending and having to wait around.

[neat fable]

Find a cave

[opal spoke]

how's everybody making money on this game? cause I'm like 70 hours in and I've just been running around farming and selling salvage data and I feel like it's gonna take me forever to get enough cash for a decent ship

[maiden badge]

if I was going to be staying on a gas giant, I wanted a sky color that I could actually bear being in for several hours to build in

[cunning iris]

Can run !faq-units in #nms-commands for most ways

A popular one is scrapping crashed ships

[distant trout]

Sit in the anomaly for long enough and you'll probably get a ton of high value items

[maiden badge]

10 curious deposit balls on a webbed planet.... pretty neat, pretty neat

[wraith bough]

Tracen academy progress

[umbral sequoia]

Personally I have advanced farms set up that automate all the resources needed to craft 120 Stasis Devices per day. A bit unwieldy as it takes 90 minutes or so of refining stuff in 10 refiners but 1.8 billion per day.

[cunning iris]

Gonna need a full tour when it's ready

[jaunty nimbus]

eh, its ok i gues.............

jk, looks great!

[wraith bough]

it's actually much smaller in terms of what's walkable, the interior is a bit small but it's detailed!

[wraith bough]

thanks xD

[neat fable]

I found a big-ass cave on a gas giant after I already built my base on the surface. Would have been so much easier.

[distant trout]

Sometimes I feel proud of myself for my base and then I see something like that and feel so intimidated by your skill😭

[keen ginkgo]

That is very true

[opal spoke]

Might look into that cause it's way better than what I'm doing, took me like 5 hours to make 7 mill farming salvage data 😂😭

[keen ginkgo]

Mhm... any storm crystals there?

[tulip oar]

purpl

oooh

[neat fable]

its fairly late-game. take a lot of setup

[neat fable]

in the cave? probably. not sure.
It s a huge network and I never explored.

[cunning iris]

And salvaged data matters more for their primary purpose: unlocking stuff in the Anomaly.
I did the same when I started playing, and would later regret selling so many when there were better ways to make units lol. Start keeping them.

[umbral sequoia]

SD farms take a while to set up. While not as profitable, an immediately available way to farm units is running trade routes. If you have the inventory space to buy out all the most valuable trade items from each station you can make 100 mil plus in like half an hour. Not too bad.

[keen ginkgo]

There is also the power of donut

[opal spoke]

Definetly gonna start leeping them, still gotta run around this planet for salvage scrape so I can get more parts to make a corvette so ai just farm them both at the same time

[neat fable]

super easy way to make money early game is to refine chlorine. you can start with salt and convert it to chlorine or just find some chlorine to start. any amount..
in a medium or large refiner, chlorine + oxygen expands to 6X chlorine and a stack sells for about $1m or so.

so you need a bit of chlorine and a supply of oxygen

[cunning iris]

Oh, the chlorine method... I lamented when it was nerfed.
Made my first few millions that way lol. It's still worth it I guess.

[keen ginkgo]

Actually I recommend getting a nutrient injestor as soon as you can, even just screwing around with cooking, you'll likely find some useful buffs

[young tulip]

Found a system in Euclid with a planet almost completely inside another planet....

Balloon > Diplo > Atlas > Bug > Sunset > Face > Tree > Fish > Galaxy > Diplo > Tree for Portal

[maiden badge]

pic?

[keen ginkgo]

Wait a minute

[opal spoke]

Nice idk you can mix them together, I already have a clorine farm too

[maiden badge]

you can't just drop finding a collision and not have pics

[young tulip]

Can't not high enough lvl in discord... I gave you the system gliyphs instead 😄

[maiden badge]

#nms-media

[keen ginkgo]

I wonder if theres systems where collided planets weren't noticed because one was completely inside the other

[tulip oar]

there's a collision pretty close to my starting system

[maiden badge]

I've seen someone's system once with a moon completely inside another planet

[young tulip]

[junior stratus]

i wish they would make collided planets look like planets are coliding. space chunks and fire and stuff

[maiden badge]

holy shit it's beautiful

[neat fable]

close

[keen ginkgo]

I wonder what it would be like to walk onto the smaller planet from the larger, lol

[errant pasture]

i find sentinel ships a great way to make money too, just set up a base at a harmonic camp and you can get a ton of them and salvage them for like 30 mil each

[young tulip]

The smaller one is like, rocky mountains.

physics and rendering gets weird where they cllide

[neat fable]

sometimes you can, usually it's just janked.

[keen ginkgo]

Nomad it is then

[maiden badge]

@keen ginkgo

[keen ginkgo]

Oh wow

[umbral sequoia]

Very rare glitch indeed. A rare screw-up of procedural generation. Nice to admire from a distance but I don't want to land on that lol.

[coral notch]

He's just a happy little guy :3

[cunning iris]

Dear lord. That's appropriate for halloween's night.

[junior dove]

Should I make a new NMS save? I'm at endgame with my current one (which is on Relaxed difficulty)

The current expedition makes me want to try a higher difficulty

[keen ginkgo]

If you want to, go for it

[maiden badge]

you can't land on the moon. it's intangible, and it just upwarps you to the planet

edit: oh. that collision whoops

I was stoked as hell when I found my first collision

[cunning iris]

I've never found one myself. Then again I'm not exactly a great explorer...

[maiden badge]

I was going for that the flight of the dragonfly vibe. basically rocheworld, one side water and the other desert

[umbral sequoia]

Depends on what you want to do. I am still playing on the main save I created at launch in 2016. I have over 6k hours in that save alone. It's where I keep all my stuff. All the best ships, upgraded to the max, maxed freeighter, frigate fleet, exocraft, and exosuit. Stasis device farms, all player titles unlocked and maxed faction standing, etc. etc. etc. I've done more things on that save file than I can even remember right now.

At the moment I am crafting all the best foods for the nutrient ingestor for the best bonuses. I can always find something to do on my main save file.

[neat fable]

I found a spot in part of the network off the hub cavern where I took the pic.

[keen ginkgo]

Are those storm crystals or minerals that look like them?

[maiden badge]

my eyes tell me the latter

[neat fable]

oh yer right, damn, lol. I was tracking storm crystal icon and it led me there, lol

[maiden badge]

rip shitty old chlorine farm base. I already have a cool new base with 20 refiners attached to a wall so your one purpose is gone

[neat fable]

now I found it.. just one there.

[cunning iris]

I'm surprised there is one lol.

[umbral sequoia]

Storm crystals are plentiful, use your binoculars during storms. More are never too far away. But not visible in binoculars when it's not storming.

[neat fable]

well it would be good to have a little storm crystal farm at the base in the cave. may need to hook up remote bases.
there's lots above ground

I don't think they move around on the gas giants do they? since it's always storming?

[umbral sequoia]

They don't move, no. And gas giants are especially good because the storms are never ending so the storm crystals are always visible. But on the surface you have to be mindful of the tornadoes...if one picks you up it can be fatal for a new character that isn't very upgraded. Takes some careful jetpack usage to avoid serious damage.

[trim hinge]

ah so this one

[cloud schooner]

Want to be able to build in abandoned space stations

[cloud schooner]

Yes this one

[trim hinge]

think i can post the video in here

[maiden badge]

talk enough and your name will turn orange

[trim hinge]

ah dang you get that at level 5 huh

darn, i had a video of a 3D map were making i wantd to show off

[umbral sequoia]

Maybe in future updates, hard to predict what HG are up to. There are some reasons to think we'll be able to build in space stations at some point in the future but that's an educated guess more than anything else and even if it happens there's no guarantee it will also be doable on abandoned space stations.

[fast gale]

Ive done the autophage quests , do I now need to finish the atlas path to get access to the quest that opens purple galaxies ?

Systems not galaxies

[trim hinge]

how is there some reason, what do you know

[cloud schooner]

Happy with anything they come up with atp. Love this game

[cloud schooner]

They've been around, they just know things lol

[fast gale]

One thing I really hope for corvettes is a star ship docking back , just hang that puppy off the back live a smart car on an rv

[deft meteor]

Beautiful sunrise right after I defeated the jellyfish and beat the expedition! :3

[deft meteor]

Yeah. The initial concept is great, the execution (aside from multiplayer and planet variety) was good and since beyond the game's been amazing. I got introduced when someone IRL gifted the game to me (Visions I think) and within like an hour of gameplay I was saying "This game is awesome."

[umbral sequoia]

Well there are the space station cores and the core overrides. They play some very minor role in a couple of quests, and you can erase negative standing with a race of aliens if you go full pirate on them and they really hate you but we'll probably be able to do a lot more with them in the future is my guess.

[deft meteor]

Not sure if I want to handle my items first or just start building a new corvette in creative...

[cloud schooner]

I think a lot of people are wanting that rn

[deft meteor]

Insert Emeril Coin to play No Gek's Sky

[fast gale]

Even some sort of small detachable pod would be cool

[trim hinge]

you know, ive wondered the same things at times with the space station. Always seemed like they were gonna come back it to but never did

[fast gale]

I wondered that , I’ve only used them once so far in a quest and that was for the autophage one I just did

[deft meteor]

What I want more than docking normal ships is docking corvettes and docking more corvettes on those corvettes. I want to see players congregate in a system and form a giant Clustervette

[deft meteor]

Especially when I first saw "Station Override"

[cloud schooner]

Do you think they're going to add some sort of station claim?

[umbral sequoia]

Well they are still updating the game and recently they have brought things to the game that players had mostly given up on after eight years...I don't think anyone thought we'd still be getting deep oceans and ship interiors after all this time but we did.

[fast gale]

Or your own customisable space station

[sharp raft]

The upkeep for that. Dear lord.

[deft meteor]

I know this is starting to become an nms future channel type thing but imagine if as a result of that each claimant had a color blob surrounding their claimed systems. No Man's Skyarris

[cloud schooner]

I think being able to claim some systems would make our map more interesting lol

[rough abyss]

wow living ships are expensive

[deft meteor]

Wdym?

[sharp raft]

Well who do you think is going to manage the station make sure it’s stocked. And no crime?

Oh my bad. Done it again. Killed the chat.

[cloud schooner]

Frigates or the starship?

[rough abyss]

starship

[sharp raft]

::revives with oxygen::

[deft meteor]

Yeah though I think at that point there'd have to be a multi-galaxy distribution for where you start, it's surprisingly easy to find a discovered system in areas near the starting ring in euclid and there's a sudden dropoff in player activity as soon as you hit hilbert dimension

[deft meteor]

Sorry, I was typing

[cloud schooner]

Yea, and tedious

[deft meteor]

I mainly asked what you meant because I didn't know if you meant in-game upkeep or irl upkeep (i.e. stations messing with game servers or whatever)

[rough abyss]

also how do i switch multitools

[sharp raft]

Game 🙂

[sharp raft]

Your utility bar

[cloud schooner]

A lot of player activity is along the regions near the center of the Y coordinates. Go up or down a couple regions and discovered systems drop off, even toward the center

[rough abyss]

thanks

[umbral sequoia]

I mean, IF they do implement something like space station ownership, buildable bases in space stations, etc. then anything you own and build yourself will almost certainly be safe like with all things you can do or own yourself right now. But do I trust that the servers will always behave and show that station as owned to other players or spawn your base so others can see it? Absolutely not...server reliability to see other players' stuff in NMS is generally very dodgy.

[deft meteor]

Yeah

I could totally see an alternate universe version of No Man's Sky where instead of controlling freighters we ended up building our own space stations that could warp between systems. It's consistent with the space anomaly as well

[wraith bough]

alright, enough for today

[sharp raft]

That’s because of base upload limits. You’ll only ever see the 13 most recently uploaded places. I guess that would apply at a station too

[sleek dirge]

Hey... I know that mansion... I think

[wraith bough]

it's Tracen academy.

[sleek dirge]

Oh

[wraith bough]

from Uma Musume

[sleek dirge]

I thought it was an unfinished buckingham palace

Neato

[cursive zenith]

comically small landing pads

[sleek dirge]

I made stone henge

[wraith bough]

y e

[tulip oar]

good morning

[tulip oar]

brilliant

[cursive zenith]

howdy

[wraith bough]

hey artemis!

[sleek dirge]

I leave these everywhere

[umbral sequoia]

Yeah and that is when the servers actually behave...a lot of the time you get to others' bases and the marker is there but the bases don't spawn so you see empty terrain and sometimes the markers don't even spawn either.

[sleek dirge]

Just a broken Henge

Heh

[wraith bough]

looks great!

[tulip oar]

hi joan

[sleek dirge]

And I upload 'em

That's Kaer Morhenge

More to follow

Maybe a pyramid too

I saw a killer tutorial in the bases chat the other day

[wraith bough]

each day it gets closer to an upload...soon

[deft meteor]

Put two in a row and between them is a portal. Literal portal leylines

[tulip oar]

prettyyy

[deft meteor]

Oh me oh my is that amazing

[sleek dirge]

I stuck a portal in the big rear doorway

It also lines up with the sun at some angles

[cloud schooner]

That's beautiful

[remote cypress]

guys when im claiming my first freighter do i HAVE to take ? if i decline would i loose the opportunity to get a free friegther?

[wraith bough]

The top of the academy is even prettier

[fast gale]

Very true 🤣 I would tax a visitation fee for all players to help run it , like an animal shelter but more profit for me

[sleek dirge]

Nice

[cloud schooner]

No, you don't have to

[sleek dirge]

I made an office

[narrow vigil]

Abnormal resource placement. Multiple loot points on top of each other. Or even meshed together. That planet is probably one of the best I've seen for that

[cloud schooner]

I'd suggest waiting till you find a good one

[remote cypress]

good one as in? A class or S?

[sleek dirge]

Every pirate ship needs an office

[deft meteor]

Peak

[cloud schooner]

Yes, S might take a while tho

[remote cypress]

i just found a B class

should i take it or nah?

[cloud schooner]

I usually wait for an A

[remote cypress]

hmm okayy

[remote cypress]

how can i find different freigthers? do i just travell different systems and hope i could find one?

[cloud schooner]

When you warp you have a chance to have the encounter

[remote cypress]

ah okayy

[cloud schooner]

Especially pirate systems

[fast gale]

In empty galaxys , is there no atlas stations ?

[maiden badge]

there are atlas stations in budullangr.

[fast gale]

God damnit how do I get out of an empty galaxys

[fast gale]

I’m in budallangr and there is nada

[maiden badge]

did you ask polo

[fast gale]

Ohhhh I forgot about polo , your a smart dude ty

[lyric thunder]

For Sanguinius

[maiden badge]

alternatively, I'm so far down the story that I can see atlas stations around me as-is. they're there, I'm in budullangr momentarily to see it

[fast gale]

You can jump from galaxy to galaxy Willy nilly ?

[maiden badge]

you can leave bases in each one or hit up space stations to return

[manic ravine]

Why does this guys s class ship suck so bad

[fast gale]

Ohhhhhhhhhhhh damnnn

[manic ravine]

I am lucky I found an s class?

But this things shit

[fast gale]

You my friend have all the brain cells

[manic ravine]

How can an s class be shit

I ain't buying that

[fast gale]

I’m trying to unlock the mission to get into purple systems , I’ve done the autophage quests and I read that I need to complete the atlas path too and have the star seed ?

[maiden badge]

pretty sure. there's also faq commands for #bot-spam or just asking in #nms-questions but I'm not smart enough to know them by heart

[manic ravine]

What is the worst capital ship

The one I just found?

[fast gale]

My b class dreadnought 😭🤣

[manic ravine]

Why does this s class suck

The korvak

He can't compete against 38,500

With his measly 800

Idk can you even own two of these

Why can't you own two capital ships damnit

God why does nobody I know play this dam game

[pearl sable]

Yes

[supple wagon]

this game looks nice

[maiden badge]

I like how having a gas giant on a wonder projector just gives you a terrestrial planet lmao

[spice fog]

For frigate
How many do u guys hire per 1 type?

[cunning iris]

Some 5 or 6, keeps the fleet balanced

[compact plover]

Usually 4 or 5 so you can mix and match as needed, yeah

[spice fog]

For raider and combat

Should i split

Or are they the same?

[narrow vigil]

All pirate....for the aura

[compact plover]

I havent bothered with pirates yet. i figure if i do ill just scrap a combat frigate but mine are pretty good

[cunning iris]

You can tell by their stats

I don't know, never had a pirate frigate lol.

[young phoenix]

well that's real nice of the devs thanks I went back to Rendezvous III and I can't even get out of the station because it requires a atlaspass V3 Expedition 20 I guess I won't be completing it

[spice fog]

Well i do know raider have really better combat stat

Do they join fighting too?

Like how normal combat frigate does when we do hunt pirate in same system with freighter

[cunning iris]

Weird, shouldn't need the pass to get out of the teleporter room

[spice fog]

Also support ship have 2 type
1 is monile platform supply and 1 is fuel bulker
Should i split them too?

[young phoenix]

this is the third problem I've had since I've started

[cunning iris]

Not necessarily, although supports mostly make sense when they are saving you fuel. But don't overthink it too much 😅

[young phoenix]

players for the win somebody build a base luckily on a planet nearby

[spice fog]

Actually nevermind mobile supply platform is the evolved version of fuel bulker

But i guess 10 support ship should be good

2 grade s supply completely cut off fuel requirement

Well for most of the time

[strong finch]
