no-mans-sky

[neat fable]

the distribution of planet biome types. not unique resources
the game has no dependence on player visiting any other galaxies besides euclid. other galaxies are end game

right, no unique resources

[trim moat]

How many galaxies are there?

[rapid orbit]

Like 255

[proper otter]

Just different distributions of each

[rapid orbit]

Not sure though

[trim moat]

Damn

[sharp raft]

Retired my older corvette, the Meridian today and released this one.. The Meridian-A. Built from the ground up this intrepid class vessel has more engines. a bit more firepower and still tiny space 🙂 ahh proud space papa.

[neat fable]

there is Normal, Harsh, Lush and Dead galaxies.
Normal is like Euclid, Harsh is more planets with extreme storms
Lush has more paradise worlds.
Dead has more dead worlds (and therefore more exotic worlds)

[lime haven]

Hi guys! There are beautiful captures in #nms-photomode-gallery needing more love! They only make it to #the-louvre if they have enough heart reactions.
-# ❣️Unique heart emojis only. No self-hearts.
-# more info

[rapid orbit]

When we say more, do we mean significantly more? I’m not sure we’ll really feel/see the difference give the amount of planets per galaxy

[neat fable]

it is noticeable

[rapid orbit]

Well I hope they expand on it just a tad more...

There should be some form of incentive to go ahead and after finishing the story still travel between galaxies I guess

But then again I’m not sure how much they CAN really do in that regard

[dreamy kayak]

It's noticeable enough that if you are looking for a certain kind of planet, especially if you want to get picky about it, that you'll have a much better chance in doing that in the appropriate galaxy

[sharp raft]

the quest to find a paradise small moon to open up a nice animal farm continues!

[rapid orbit]

I must admit I did not know that, cool for picky planet travellers I guess

[dreamy kayak]

if you are like captain there, and looking for a perfect paradise small moon, a lush galaxy is the best bet

[neat fable]

or the way way around if you want to be a masochist, try hunting for a an earth-like in a Harsh or Dead galaxy

[dreamy kayak]

it's not to say you can't find it in a normal galaxy, it's just easier in a lush galaxy to find it

the probability is higher and more stacked in your favor

[sharp raft]

oh did Mitey forget to mention.. it will be a purple system? must have the new mechanics. mmhmm.

yeahhh some of us just picky.

[tribal condor]

Feels like a lotta folks are picky

Almost everyone I see in chat is looking for the perfect planet

[sharp raft]

sometimes indeed. Different folks have different goals.

[tribal condor]

Meanwhile I’m over here slapping down a dozen different bases cuz “planet cool”

[sharp raft]

heheh and as long as you find it cool thats all that matters!

[dreamy kayak]

just depends on what stage of the game you are at, if you ever get at all the stages of the game before you quit

you may not

[sharp raft]

quit. silly talk.

Mitey no quits! 🙂

[dreamy kayak]

and it's not required to do all the stages of the meta gameplay

lol

at all

[neat fable]

Other than exploration and discovery, this game is strongly focused on collecting as rewards.
Finding a gaia planet is the holy grail collectible.

[rapid orbit]

We won’t ever find the perfect planet….

Maybe the perfect planet was the friends we made along the way, the races we met, the stories we uncovered

[tribal condor]

No NMS players quits! They jsut go…….
-# hibernate

[dreamy kayak]

some people just play the story and do the missions and expeditions and that's all they ever do

[dreamy kayak]

that's whatI do

I just came back a few weeks ago after a year off

came back to a lot of updates too, it was like playing the game from the start again, it was a nice feeling

[sharp raft]

those are also the people that don't realize that a good captain will MAKE tasks of their own and go and do them 🙂

[rapid orbit]

Yup that’s why we praise hello games

[dreamy kayak]

the moment where I feel like Im just doing the dailies and logging, I take a break from the game

[coral notch]

Feel like people who do that sorta miss the whole purpose of the game as a whole really

[neat fable]

Kids these days never played with GI joes or army men or tonka toys.

[sharp raft]

Amen sir. Amen!

[tribal condor]

Or even played with LEGO and creating their own stories

[dreamy kayak]

true, but people have their own play style and that's ok... some people need a themepark, some people like a sandbox.

[coral notch]

tonka toys were the shit

I loved those

[tribal condor]

(Yes I was and still am a LEGO guy)

[sharp raft]

heck the sandbox can BE a themepark 🙂 even after all these years Mitey still refining his basebuilding methodology and construction

turnin out some snazzy things. Evolution I tell you!

[dreamy kayak]

some people are limited by their imagination

it is what it is

[coral notch]

Yeah I suppose

[narrow vigil]

This is why games advertise themselves as sandboxes for the marketing. But they end up being an RPG because that's what sells

[tribal condor]

A good game can be both

[rapid orbit]

I really need to start making my bases look like bases. Mostly I just deploy a base computer and that’s it

[coral notch]

Same here

[rapid orbit]

But then again I’m not good at making stuff look good

I have the same problem in KSP

I’ll make it work sure

[coral notch]

I have so many base building stuff to unlock

[sharp raft]

thats.. it? NOOOO!

[tribal condor]

Just fuck around and find out

Always works

[sharp raft]

oh my god. thats it? just a computer and.. oh my god/ Mitey must seek medical attention. He gimme trauma!

[rapid orbit]

I know… it’s sad

[tribal condor]

Good practice for making stuff look good is fashion in an MMORPG

[sharp raft]

Mitey come help you fix your things my god! just a computer isn't right!

[tribal condor]

Least a 1x1 box

[dreamy kayak]

i can't do mmorpgs anymore, just the payment plans, the locking cosmetcs behind cash shops, being mainly for pve, etc... used to be good, now it's just ugh

[coral notch]

Only MMORPG I come back to every now and then is Guild Wars 2

[tribal condor]

Well I mean an MMORPG is literally a PvE game

[dreamy kayak]

it used to be that when you saw someone wearing something cool, it's because they earned it

now it's just not the case anymore

[sharp raft]

Last time a player told me they needed help with creating a beach house.. Mitey helped make this

[tribal condor]

Warframe fashion can always be earned

[sharp raft]

see. style baby. mmhmm

[rapid orbit]

Beautiful.

[coral notch]

Im glad NMS still has this mentality with cosmetics tbh

[tribal condor]

Cuz the “paid” currency can be traded for without paying a dime

[rapid orbit]

Admittedly

[dreamy kayak]

it's not the point, the point is if it can be bought, it's worthless to me

its immersion breaking

the sense of accomplishment is gone

[sharp raft]

thank you! So see. we fix'em ups! 🙂 @rapid orbit will has hoouuuse 🙂

[tribal condor]

I mean technically fashion is bought

[dreamy kayak]

i understand

i have my opinions though

[tribal condor]

Fair nuff

Nonetheless, good fashion in MMORPGs still takes skill to make look good even if it’s bought

[dreamy kayak]

im the kind of guy that nevers buy cosmetics in a game because, if you can't only get it from earning it, it's not worth having in the first place

[rapid orbit]

Im right there with you

[neat fable]

You gotta play with the base building, experiment, discover and learn techniques to 'break out of the box' so to speak.
It's tough to make a good base with just the normal NMS base-building mechanics and parts. It generally looks generic or looks like ass.
You kinda gotta be inventive. when you play around, you learn how to utilize things like the triangle parts to break away from the square feels of the build, or to make circles and stuff.
The best stuff is done with glitch building but its a PITA most of the time.

[sharp raft]

Mitey patiently waits for @rapid orbit to get into the right headspace and feel the base building bug to turn his computers into malibu worthy real estate :knits socks in meantime::

[twilit thorn]

theres a drop pod 30 min away on my planet, is it ever faster to leave orbit to travel farther distances quicker on a planet?

[tribal condor]

Yes

Always faster

[subtle robin]

is there any use for the HistoriogrphicalDosimeter after Beachhead, other than a keepsake to stick in a crate somewhere?

[tribal condor]

Cuz then you can pulse drive

[twilit thorn]

thanks

[rapid orbit]

Oh god I can hardly build anything with the normal stuff, and you’re talking about glitch building.

I’ve got a long journey ahead of me it seems

[keen ginkgo]

You can collect the lore

[tribal condor]

As I said earlier, fuck around and find out

[neat fable]

it is usually much faster to arc into orbit instead of travelling lond distance through the atmosphere.

[tribal condor]

Best way to get a feel for base building

[dreamy kayak]

i just want to buy a game, and have a full game... and be able to only be able to earn the items in the game through the game period. I can do buy game, buy dlc, heck Im even willing to pay a sub... but a cash shop that sells things I can have in game just makes me not want to play it at all

[sharp raft]

Mitey gonna ask. Can you make a box?

[keen ginkgo]

Ngl theres basically one main thing you gotta learn for building, which is UAG. That said, you can still make cool things with the power of sheer stubbornness

[tribal condor]

Buying and getting a full game is in very short supply these days

[rapid orbit]

I will not disappoint

[dreamy kayak]

which is why Im wililng to budge on buying dlc, or paying a sub too, but that's where my line ends

[tribal condor]

I honestly only get DLC if it adds any meaningful additions to the game

[rapid orbit]

Oh yes, the bare minimum im able to do (had to do the boxes in the expeditions)

[keen ginkgo]

Aww, I forgot to actually say universal adjacency glitch

[dreamy kayak]

i bought necesse recently, loved it, got it for my kids too

[tribal condor]

I do wanna get that eventually

I played the free weekend and loved it

[dreamy kayak]

its great recommend it

[tribal condor]

It reminded me of a top down terraria

[dreamy kayak]

yup and it has npc management like rimworld

[keen ginkgo]

I think of it like terraria and rimworld combined

[dreamy kayak]

so you dont have to grind if you dont want to

[rapid orbit]

Will do for sure

[sharp raft]

see then you are all set! thats where we all start. you make a box. then a bigger box. then boxes that interset! Then...

[tribal condor]

2 of the greatest games in history in one game

[dreamy kayak]

its the perfect game where you grind at first, and then let your npc's manage the grind for you so you can just have fun

[neat fable]

that is actually several glitches combined, but yeah, if you learn UAG, then you basically know glitch building.

[keen ginkgo]

It is?

[dreamy kayak]

i think nms or their new game should do something like that too

[keen ginkgo]

Oh I guess so

[dreamy kayak]

things where you unload grind onto automation and npcs

i think hello games needs to implement that more

[tribal condor]

Always helpful when a game lets you automate the grind

[buoyant halo]

How many of you knew the trick to getting to a portal within approx 5k of the center?

[neat fable]

Yes, wire glitch, wire cache glitch and reverse wire glitch

[tribal condor]

Think spam first portal glyph?

[buoyant halo]

Yeah

[dreamy kayak]

i did

[keen ginkgo]

Ehh, I'm not sure how well that would fit in lnf, mostly because I'm hoping it incentivizes the creation of player communities/civilizations

[rapid orbit]

More automation is definitely needed

[tribal condor]

I want more factorio in my games dammit

[keen ginkgo]

I absolutely want more automation in nms

[buoyant halo]

I think they want their game. Not some one elses.

[dreamy kayak]

example, you grind at first, you get your own base with your npcs in it... and they start to get the things you used to get for you so you can focus on getting the new things... then as you hit the next plateau, you unload that on your npcs and automation again and then grind for the next plateau

[tribal condor]

I don’t care if it’s spreadsheet simulator, it’s worth it

[keen ginkgo]

To incentivize player civilizations through gameplay, you have to make it so players can choose what they want to do without also being able to do literally everything on their own

[dreamy kayak]

absolutely

[neat fable]

All sunsets only gets you within about 10k
replace the last sunset with the Atlas glyph

[dreamy kayak]

if someone wants to chop down trees, let them, don't make it a requirementto make npcs do it

but at the same time, let them be able to unload that task if they want too

[rapid orbit]

I mean there’s already some form of automation…if it fits into the nms universe lore wise, it can be hello games‘ idea not someone else’s

[keen ginkgo]

Automation tends to let you do everything on your own, which makes for barebones player civs

[tribal condor]

I feel like conveyor belts and whatnot would fit fine in NMS

[dreamy kayak]

nms definately does make grind easier in some ways, but it's 2025 now, and the game came out about 10 years ago, I think they did great for back then, i think they just need to step it up a bit for 2025 for their new game

either way im getting it

its just an observation and opinon of mine

[rapid orbit]

If not in nms then in LNF

[dreamy kayak]

right

[neat fable]

NMS could never handle it.

[dreamy kayak]

i can totally get them not doing it for nms

and that makes sense

but i think for their new game, they should

[rapid orbit]

Agreed.

[tribal condor]

I would too if I didn’t have like 50 other games on my list…..

[keen ginkgo]

I'd want the output of player cooperation in lnf to produce more than automation would

[dreamy kayak]

or be different

[buoyant halo]

It's like I have a mission to get to the last galaxy now that I've found at the trick.

[rapid orbit]

I think that might be the case

[dreamy kayak]

one way or the other

[sharp raft]

when it comes out.. we will see how it goes.

[dreamy kayak]

i think teaming up should have more benefits, but it doesn't necessarily have to be better than automation or npcs, but maybe makes what you are alreadydoing better

[sharp raft]

for now tho.. this moon is stil hiding from me

[dreamy kayak]

so maybe working in congruence with it

[keen ginkgo]

Like, obviously everyone in lnf would do the typical survival elements, but youd need to specialize in some form to do more advanced or higher quality things

[dreamy kayak]

definitely

like maybe limit things in certain ways to force you to need other people to do things

like time grind helps

like maybe if you played for 10 years you get all the life skills, but maybe at the start working with people makes you take advantage of people with different skills

[keen ginkgo]

And that could tie into my hope for the distant regions of the lnf world to have unique resources or at least a genuine reason to either settle there or interact with players over long distances

[sharp raft]

I have to ask. Why are you guys speculating on Light No Fire?

[rapid orbit]

Im not against automation, but it should be implemented in a way where people won’t just have 100 farms with unlimited recourse spawning.

I think that’s a huge problem some games have nowadays

[dreamy kayak]

not speculating just offering what I would want with it

but its not a game breaker either way, im getting it

[neat fable]

MP is fine if it's p2p among friends or private groups. MMO generally sucks.

[keen ginkgo]

I mean... it'll probably be mmo in the same way that nms is

[sharp raft]

I am just throwin this out there #light-no-fire

[dreamy kayak]

im the opposite, I like the idea that I can go back to a spot in a game that I originally sucked at, and be able to just destroy and wreck things. I like the sense of hard work and accomplishment

[sharp raft]

not that this conversation isn't stimulating. just that usually in this channel we talk about THIS game. heh.

[dreamy kayak]

I like the ability to remove grind

i definitely want to grind first, but I like to be rewarded for my grind with less grind on beginner stuff, and move on to the next stage if that makes sense

[maiden badge]

too busy staring at a portal like it's a phenakistoscope

[rapid orbit]

I also get that, I just want it balanced out where people still have the incentive and interest to go out there and work and participate and not be the “leviathan“

[rapid orbit]

True

[sharp raft]

do you do the head spinning thing as the pretty lights swirl too? Mitey does that sometimes

[keen ginkgo]

I should probably actually watch the video that made me consider the reasons why player civs in open world survival crafting games tend to be kinda boring or surface level

It talked about a skill system i vaguely remember, but where the skills leveled up simply by just doing the thing, but focusing on one skill would result in the others lowering (at a slower pace) so it actually is like youre practicing and getting good at something

[dreamy kayak]

yeah life skilling

[keen ginkgo]

And also allows for flexibility in what youd be doing

[tribal condor]

Sounds like RuneScape type of system

[dreamy kayak]

you can set a grind where it would take someone 10 years or something to get all the skills, so they aren't limited by choice at the beginning, but rather by what they choose to do

[dreamy kayak]

exactly

[maiden badge]

I wonder if the portal spins really fast or if it's spinning slowly but the glyph textures are changing fast

[dreamy kayak]

or eve online does that too, but with time

rather than active participation on the skill

[rapid orbit]

I will just throw something out there with almost no thought given

[keen ginkgo]

Dang, if I played runescape I'd have had a good comparison ready, lol

[rapid orbit]

Or it’s cause they’re not real, people don’t HAVE to survive, they don’t have to suffer, they don’t have to work together

[tribal condor]

Nah you’re the one that’s spinning

[tribal condor]

Oh yea space capitalism sim

[keen ginkgo]

I mean, thats a part of it, ofc, but its also not incentivized via gameplay. Games like nms or Minecraft or even ones that seem to have specializations in place like Ark can have everything be done on your own, without any real need to cooperate with others

[maiden badge]

the glyphs look like they're spinning fast but the lines between them aren't. I might have to record it and slow it down a lot to tell idk

[dreamy kayak]

but games like that where you have monthly wipes and it's played like rust, it helps to work together becauses you get what you need faster to compete with opposing factions

so there's a time incentive to work together

[rapid orbit]

I guess it’s just up to the devs really

[narrow vigil]

"the glyphs look like they're spinning fast but the lines between them aren't"

When that nip nip hits just right

[rapid orbit]

Well on surface level

Their vision or whatever you call it

[keen ginkgo]

But theres still ways to incentivize cooperation without such a time limit, especially since that sort of enforcement basically encourages ganging up on weaker players

[dreamy kayak]

right, i dont think the new game will be like that

it will be more about coop vs pvp

[keen ginkgo]

I dont either

[narrow vigil]

That's Rust, Ark, GTA and most others

[dreamy kayak]

i think if the pve is good, you don't need to be competitive as much

[sharp raft]

Right. Mitey gonna go for a bit.. because Mitey didn't come in here to talk about the development of games or what Light No Fire will be like...

[dreamy kayak]

sorry

ill stop

[maiden badge]

when everyone's on nip, no one is

[rapid orbit]

Wise words

[narrow vigil]

It's better when the game rewards your progression and your team for finding new players and helping them build up. Becoming stronger.

Not smashing the weak people as soon as they come in to make sure you stay on top

[narrow vigil]

If you run on nip for all you got my vote

[keen ginkgo]

I mainly brought up the subject since it applies to nms as well

[dreamy kayak]

yeah

[keen ginkgo]

Though incentivizing joining a player civ doesnt really make sense for the type of game nms is

[dreamy kayak]

i think it can

[rapid orbit]

Through communities

Events by communities

Which we should do

[dreamy kayak]

yup

[steady trail]

tbh yeah

NMS is very much a "Thug it out alone" type game

[dreamy kayak]

for example we are in discord, we could decide to pick a planet or a system in a specific galaxy, and just build a community there

[rapid orbit]

But that was never the vision for no mans sky to begin with

[dreamy kayak]

some people already do that

[keen ginkgo]

Isn't that how this discord came to be?

[sharp raft]

we did. there's a hub for this discord

[rapid orbit]

The devs…. They did not

[keen ginkgo]

A real motivation for player cooperation in nms is if we could make a dang MAP of the place

[rapid orbit]

Well in game

Social media is different

[maiden badge]

I think of it like that too, but the story's different when there's a noticeable amount of people that share the same niche interest as me

[sharp raft]

he did not say devs. he said players 🙂

[dreamy kayak]

personally I'd like to map out the fade in odyalutai

[silent matrix]

I'd love to be a part of something like that. Maybe towards the center of the galaxy just to weed out trolls that just started?

[sharp raft]

center of the galaxy is where most people are sir. you wanna start out on the edge off the beaten path

[rapid orbit]

I was talking about the devs though… the core vision the game was built with essentially decided if an ingame civ can really work or not….

[dreamy kayak]

this is roughly where Im at

[neat fable]

there is lots

[maiden badge]

ah, settlements. why do I have the option to fine someone who said something weird to another dude's spouse? this feels like none of my business

[sharp raft]

its called civil court 🙂

[keen ginkgo]

Their arguing was annoying the neighbors

[steady trail]

Expel them both for wasting your time (real)

[silent matrix]

Yeah but they'll have completed the journey there, so it weeds out those who just wanted to get in and start trolling

[mellow wolf]

@grizzled ice Please talk to me IDK what is going on?>?

[dreamy kayak]

so usually you start about 2/3s out from the galactic center, everyone moves inward, but no one moves outward

[sharp raft]

but you are gonna run the risk that newer and more annoying trolls are gonna make their way into the center at a later time

Most of them don't turn around and head outwards

[keen ginkgo]

Nah, the people who dont want to hang around others turn move outwards

[dreamy kayak]

exactly, that's what I mean

[maiden badge]

how many people move a bit upwards or downwards

[keen ginkgo]

The real secret is moving vertically

[dreamy kayak]

so avoid the people who troll, and group with people who don't, and move outward

[silent matrix]

That's true, but with the center of the galaxy you have a waypoint there and have to do the journey, other places you have to use glyps and travel instantly, no?

[dreamy kayak]

tbh i did both lol

im like down and out

lol

[keen ginkgo]

That way you can still be close to other players for recruitment and interaction, but also have plenty of space

[dreamy kayak]

yeah i still have close to center bases for that

[keen ginkgo]

Of course, the core regions will still be rather dense above and below

[sharp raft]

the center of the galaxy you are too close to jumping the galactic core. a bit hard to do the other missions that require you to TRAVEL if you are going away from the center when you're already there

[dreamy kayak]

but my stuff I like and that I hide, are not nearby

[maiden badge]

exactly. planet I'm trying to get a bunch of people on isn't exactly next to my stuff. it's halfway across the galaxy

[silent matrix]

Anyway y'all wanna hop on DC and do that settlement thing? I'd love to

[dreamy kayak]

but in a way the easiest way to recruit isns't even in game, it's through here, or other game discords you have

and you can just join sessions

[rapid orbit]

You know, I’d really love to see a player controlled faction system. It’s a pretty unique and game changing idea, and it could naturally lead to things like alliances, wars, and shifting power dynamics.

Tbh I’m not completely sure how well it would work in practice, but looking at how Elite Dangerous handles its political and faction systems might offer some good inspiration

[sharp raft]

DC?

[silent matrix]

I don't have the glyphs though so that might be a bit of an issue...

[keen ginkgo]

Nms players are really territorial, lol

[silent matrix]

Discord

[neat fable]

I have an entire undiscovered region that is only 6.5k ly from the core

[sharp raft]

you are already ON discord..

[dreamy kayak]

for sure, when i invite someone towards one of my bases,it's one I've written off

[silent matrix]

Yes, but not on voice chat which is what I meant

[dreamy kayak]

lol

most people are like, man you got nothing for bases man, and I'm like... sure... lol

im not showing you my good stuff bro

lol

[sharp raft]

I see. Voice channels are a bit down below but I am sure there's some folks in there that may wana try and uh.. settle a planet or whatever it is you had in mind sir

[maiden badge]

as much as I'd want to blatantly recruit, that's not something you can do here, or people would be doing it a lot more to everyone's dismay. to me, it's a mix of finding people and finding the right people

[sharp raft]

then Mitey gonna show you HIS good stuff OH YEAH 🙂

[rapid orbit]

Lmao I have a bunch of systems just named „ottoman control/territory“

Im expanding

[dreamy kayak]

actually that's a good idea

people would actually understand your sphere of influence from something like that

[timber haven]

Yeah, I know I can be...
I avoid putting bases in dissonant systems where I shared an address for an interceptor with one exception when I did.

And that one is pretty close to the portal

[dreamy kayak]

or if you do put a base, its just a teleport here to get to it, not to actually have anything there

[maiden badge]

habitation vs anti-sentinel, but the options are farming vs "additional facilities". what the hell man

[worldly sentinel]

How do I go about getting different ships? Other than the corvette

[rapid orbit]

Buying them is an option

[timber haven]

Just collectors for pyrite and sulphrine gas

[dreamy kayak]

find them, buy them, build them etc

[keen ginkgo]

Oh I definitely include myself in that statement, lol. Even in lnf theres a strong chance I become a dragon-taming hermit living in a mountain lair

[sharp raft]

you can look for distressed/crashed ships and repair them as wel.

[dreamy kayak]

exactly, typically i try not to waste a base spot on no minerals and gases when i can unless I honestly just like the look of the area

[rapid orbit]

Im positive we’ll have wars over territory in LNF

[dreamy kayak]

i did just recently today built a base on a lake in a mountain valley, no mineral or gases there

just did it because its a cool looking area

[dreamy kayak]

id even recommend just scrapping them and selling them and saving up to buy a ship you want too, less work than fixing em up

but lots of options

[rapid orbit]

Believe it or not I’ve yet to land on a gas giant

[timber haven]

My main base had to expand it to hit one hotspot, have another that isn't by anything but its more of a remote depot in an uncharted system.

[rapid orbit]

Can you build Bases on them?

[dreamy kayak]

theres a mission where you get to do it I think if I remember right

i wont speak anymore about it

[maiden badge]

they have ground because it's that kind of game

I don't see much sense in it myself but eh

[rapid orbit]

Sure but I only watched the trailer, they seem extreme, looks like you need a special suit too to walk on them.

[tribal condor]

Nah

[silent matrix]

How many bases can you have?

[tribal condor]

Normal suit is fine

[timber haven]

Need your environmental protection upgraded

[tribal condor]

Think I landed on a couple during breach

[neat fable]

you can deploy 400 base computers

[dreamy kayak]

i can't remember its like 400

[tribal condor]

It’s a pretty high number iirc

[dreamy kayak]

ok cool I remembered

[silent matrix]

That's a lot of bases

[rapid orbit]

Oh so it was a cosmetic then

[neat fable]

20,000 parts total for all bases

[tribal condor]

For a normal person yes, for an NMS player nah

[dreamy kayak]

its not the amount of bases you need to worry about, its how many base parts you can add in all

and it counts for all your bases

[tribal condor]

Most likely

The suits don’t actually do anything

It’s all about the tech your packing

[rapid orbit]

Well I know

The trailer

You know

[tribal condor]

Was it the trailer for Worlds Part 2?

[rapid orbit]

I believe so

Not sure

It should be though

Gas giants

[dreamy kayak]

just make sure once you find the system with the gas giant, put a base down

immediately

[keen ginkgo]

Well that was neat

[maiden badge]

that's just a minotaur

[rapid orbit]

No

[keen ginkgo]

I decided to do some giant system exploring and warped to one that immediately had an exotic in my freighter

[silent matrix]

Oh there's a part limit for bases? That kinda sucks

[dreamy kayak]

nice

[tribal condor]

Oh yea the armor is cosmetic

[silent matrix]

Wait 20k for all 400? So 50 per base? That seems a little, small?

[keen ginkgo]

I recruited it to my squadron, even the pilot is s class, so now I have an s class pilot from each of the 3 main species

[dreamy kayak]

if you imagine, most bases are just to drop down like a mineral extractor or gas extractor

[rapid orbit]

Would’ve been cool if you’d have to wear certain things to walk on them

[dreamy kayak]

few bases are for actually building something nice

[tribal condor]

That would honestly be too much of a pain to deal with

[silent matrix]

Yeah but isn't 50 kind of low for building something nice?

[rapid orbit]

It’d be tedious for sure

(I’d still love it)

[tribal condor]

The general max is 20k

[neat fable]

you can have 400 base computers (claimed bases)
you cannot build a base at every location.
each base has a part limit of 3000 parts, only if you want to upload the base to make it public.
You can have 1 base with 20,000 parts, or many smaller ones.

[dreamy kayak]

well like I said you don't even use 50 to put down a mineral/gas extractor set up

[maiden badge]

what do you need all 400 for? there's only 256 galaxies to throw a portal base in

[dreamy kayak]

you use like 10-20 if that

[tribal condor]

You can easily have 10k parts on one base and the others have smaller setups

[narrow vigil]

Tbh I bet most bases are created to mark a place for building later....and nothing ever actually gets buitl

[silent matrix]

Ohhh I see. Thank you

[dreamy kayak]

you know what, true

[steady trail]

Real

[tribal condor]

Yep

[dreamy kayak]

so most bases are just 1 base part

[narrow vigil]

Yep

[steady trail]

I have a base sitting practically unused but built because I found the planet to be remarkably earth-like

[dreamy kayak]

the next amount is about 10-15 pieces

[narrow vigil]

Claimed and never built on

[dreamy kayak]

very few is using a lot

[narrow vigil]

Hotspots, potential home bases, unique animal spawns ....all reason to think "one day....I will build here"

Never do

[dreamy kayak]

and there are people in here who maxed out their parts who then learn how to be more economical with base building than I am

[narrow vigil]

If anyone feels I'm attacking them lemme know 😂

I'm attacking myself too here....

[dreamy kayak]

yeah thats me

but for the most part its more like animals

and i actually use the hot spots

[steady trail]

I always place down the bare minimum at least, a hab with a teleporter and some solar panels and a battery to power it

[dreamy kayak]

i do have one hot spot i didnt use that I wanted for building a bytebeat base

and never did

[steady trail]

And then it joins the list of random bases I visit sparingly save for when I need some random resource from that planet

[young lichen]

that might be me, im still learning how to build bases and after staring at it, the submarine base i did, it might have too many pieces, i built from 1370 u below sea level to the surface

[steady trail]

1.4ku tall base is insane

[narrow vigil]

I've been playing nomad for so long I just gotten into the habit of scavenging where I go. Snagging up whatever resources I can and hoarding for later or when I might need it

[young lichen]

techinically are two bases, i was testing yesterday the boundaries of each one

[dreamy kayak]

i mostly live out of my freighter

[steady trail]

Oh yeah, I do that a ton

[narrow vigil]

A lot of it was too many base wipes back then. Just lost interest in it

[steady trail]

Always buy every raw material at space stations too

[dreamy kayak]

and im always managing space in my freighter

its a pain

[steady trail]

My primary reason for expanding my inventory is just to always have at least one of every raw material on me

Currently need to expand a bit more to have comfortable room for components, but

[dreamy kayak]

easiest thing to do is to just build bases for mineral and gas extracting, so then you don't have to stock it

saves space

just build more storage containers

[tribal condor]

I do have the nomadic scavver vibe goin, but i do got a main base I warp to

[trim moat]

Have yall been to that cool ass copper farm base in the expedition

[narrow vigil]

I deleted a ski ball game that took me almost a month, exocraft tracks, couple pvp arenas. The biome and planet overhauls just ate them up.

But now things seem like they are here to stay. So I'm building again

[neat fable]

most of mine look like this

[dreamy kayak]

same

[narrow vigil]

Based nms

[dreamy kayak]

or also have a gas/mineral extractor with storage too

but basically same premise

but typically if i dont have a gas or mineral extractor, i dont even build a teleporter

[neat fable]

well I have way too many bases to need mining at all of them

[dreamy kayak]

i just accept I have to fly to a space station to exit the system

saves on base parts

[tribal condor]

I do eventually gotta set up some auto mining bases

[maiden badge]

they should give us a true base reordering update. also do something about base screenshots because after a while they stopped appearing on new bases altogether

[tribal condor]

I do occasionally set up a manual mining base with the full intent to make it look good…….. and then promptly fucken don’t

[cursive ether]

Hi, has anyone completed Expedition 6 and, if possible, could you share a pirate flag with me, please?

[dreamy kayak]

i could probably delete some bases

I have multiple runaway mould farm bases

I dont need thata

just pick the best one and keep it

the only base i tend to share with people is my tornado planet base

has a cheap prefab set up that lets you see what happens when a tornado sucks you out of it

lol

[tribal condor]

Amazing

[dreamy kayak]

its a radioactive planet that has supercells

[elfin field]

Why’s the game look better on my ps5 pro than my pc my pc is stronger?

[dreamy kayak]

75 percent of the time too

so you don’t have to wait to do it

[neat fable]

I have specific bases for operations. don't need too many. I have about 10, large, developed bases, a bunch of little cabin things, and about 60 basic ones that are just outposts, with a base computer and TP.

[timber haven]

Quite the "Frozen Anomaly" this planet is...

[neat fable]

This one is a mould farm and ferrite and oxygen

inside pics

There's a bunch of small remote buildings as well for each of the resource collection points like the one below. above is just the hub.

there's a couple in that pic. I didn't notice the one in the background

[young lichen]

( i cant post pics yet, but thats my submarine base just a caution: dont use the teleporters too fast cause are a bit buggy and you might end stuck if you take them very quickly)

[zealous loom]

found some really cool exotic worlds

pillar worlds are cool, got some stabalized glitches since i’m in unexplored unmapped space

[tribal condor]

Pillar worlds?

[zealous loom]

anomaly worlds

[tribal condor]

insert pillar men theme

[zealous loom]

I can’t fit one of the stabilized glitch fragments in my corvette sadly

found bubble, spine, pillar, I found the shell’d one with capillary one. I’ve collected some anomalous animals

[mortal turtle]

how many cyclotron and how many phase beam turrets to put on corvette to get their max fire rate/turret?

[mortal drift]

Neat

My regions guild is named "hynest"

[shy whale]

I've wanted to make a floating base, do I just tower up far enough until I get to the point I want?

[pseudo edge]

so im using an echo locator in 5 different Dissonance systems and not a single harmonie - is it that rare?

[mortal drift]

Goddamnit

Imma stop helping freighters from pirates if its not a dreadnaught at this point

Their damn property gets in the way of my firearms and makes my rep go down >:(

[narrow vigil]

Imo staircases are the one of the hardest things to get "right"

We need auto snapping angles. That tick at like 5° increments. Instead of free spinning only

[mortal drift]

We need explosions

And also editable settlements >:(

[narrow vigil]

🧨

[mortal drift]

:D!!!

[maiden badge]

I'd make that a lot more with that kind of system since I can't trust myself with manual placement. it's like lego stickers all over again

[brave canyon]

lmao real

[coral notch]

Just got this SC layout by random chance when upgrading :D

[brave canyon]

i can't trust a game without some kind of snapping grid

hence why i never do corvette interiors

[mortal drift]

Noice

[river stratus]

It makes filling in the blanks easy though

[brave canyon]

meh

it'd be nice if it was a toggle

[river stratus]

True that

[neat fable]

you can but the range of the base computer is a dome, so the higher you go, the smaller the radius and it will cap out at 1000u at the highest point.
there are tricks to build higher and to build a base computer up in the air.
search for how to make NMS sky bases or something.

[shy whale]

Alright, thanks man!

[maiden badge]

shot the interceptor I summoned with my defense chit and now I'm gonna fight them instead of this random vykeen pirate lmao

[smoky jasper]

working on a new build, about halfway done

[fallen pawn]

I GOT 100% ON STEAM WOOOO

[merry aspen]

Does anyone else wish they would add more trophies/achievements to the game

[mortal drift]

Achievements?

[fallen pawn]

yes

[mortal drift]

Hell yeah, welcome to the club

[fallen pawn]

i did it on ps a few years ago but i finally did it on steam

[cunning niche]

The easiest way still the computer animation when claiming a base.
Have enough material to build 4 landing pads and make sure parts are set to free placement.

Once claiming the base, the animation sends the camera up, as the camera gets lowered, start placing the landing pad.
Then find the landing pad that is within the planet limit (you aren't freezing), and claim a base at that height.

The process is pretty much that.

[neat fable]

yeah. You can also just build up and then place another base computer and delete the old one and all the parts

if you want to be measured

[cunning niche]

Yup, I tried that first, it just took me forever to go beyond the 1000u 🤣
Still a valid approach also.

[neat fable]

if you do it right, you can build a towering wall and fly up it with infinite jetpack, building the wall up ahead of you at the same time.
gotta be positioned just right though.

[manic ravine]

Trust me I know exactly how to play nms, I just do not care for the little things like the fishing

Why was that added?

We don't even require food

[buoyant halo]

Food has buffs. Mining speed is good.

[frosty moth]

Good evening

[narrow vigil]

I can imagine it was added because it will be in light no fire

[maiden badge]

perpetual cakes are a life saver for people who can't just make every jetpack slot supercharged at the flick of a wrist

[narrow vigil]

A medieval age RPG isnt the same without fishing and cooking what you catch

[buoyant halo]

Are you saying light no fire is a reimagining of nms ?

[half wave]

this is great! Check it @waxen palm

[narrow vigil]

I can't get enough of this mountain. Its amazing

[buoyant halo]

That’s a hill.

[narrow vigil]

Just a few years a go this mountain would be a big hill, a spike or a flat top plateau

[brave canyon]

beautiful mountain you got there

[smoky jasper]

thanks just finished the front

[narrow vigil]

The terrain variance and smooth slope changes is a noticable change from before

[maiden badge]

hg gib us lettering parts in game

[half wave]

It looks especially great at night, with that neon sign

[zealous loom]

I found a heavily mountainous paradise world that feels like flying through a valley constantly

doing it in my corvette may not be the smartest

[buoyant halo]

Yeah. So steep you can hardly stand still if going down and taking fall damage if your not categul.

[neat fable]

I like the alps

[narrow vigil]

Day 6 of soaking in the luminescent water till I get superpowers

[zealous loom]

it had some reasonable mid level terrain and some open spots sprinkled around

i’ve had mountainous hellholes before this was actually quite reasonable

[manic ravine]

light no fire better not suck

we all know how this game went on launch

[mortal drift]

Im sure it wont

Mainly because they worked their ASSES off for free over the past decade to gain our trust back while also improving their game engine

[manic ravine]

for me , a game sucks when: 1:there's not much to do , 2:theres too much to do and no way to know how to do it overwhelming and tedious, 3: when its not long enough

[mortal drift]

You can thank sony for the rough launch

Now, the promises however

That was all sean

[manic ravine]

having too many things to do is just as bad as having not much to do.

[mortal drift]

But hes fulfilled everything hes said and more

OH MY GOD GIVE ME AN EXPLORERS GUILD STATION FFS

[manic ravine]

a game is fun when its possible to go at your own pace

and not tied to a limited time

*looks at expedition

[buoyant halo]

Found my way to three new galaxies. What a day.

[neat fable]

go farther. more than 500 ly

[mortal drift]

You can still play with expeditions(just not on consoles i think)

[manic ravine]

i feel the expeditions need to be permanent and optional

but if they were would anyone do them?

[mortal drift]

I did

[manic ravine]

no i meant if they were not time limited

[buoyant halo]

Ehh. I like to blast through expeditions as quickly as I can.

[mortal drift]

You obviously underestimate the completionistd

[manic ravine]

just saying would anybody even do it if it was permanent

[mortal drift]

You know, youre a weird one

[manic ravine]

obviously

took you that long to figure out

[buoyant halo]

What was permanent?

[mortal drift]

"They should make expeditions be done at any time at will" and then your talking yourself out of it with "but would anyone do it then?"

[manic ravine]

no its a rhetorical question

[smoky jasper]

i wish i could make npc's i spawn do things like sit or wave

[manic ravine]

tf is that

[mortal drift]

20TH JUMP AND NO EXPLORERS GUILD AAAAAAAAAA

[kind gyro]

Honestly I'd probably burn myself out if expeditions were available whenever I wanted. Already fairly addicted to the game (200+ hours), but could easily see myself spending a whole weekend just finishing every expedition and then never touching the game again lol.

[manic ravine]

burnout is real

[mortal drift]

I did 10 of em in a week

Was burnt out for like a month month half ish

[manic ravine]

but its gonna be one hell of a deep burnout

before i burnout

[buoyant halo]

Are you able to redo an expedition if you’ve already done it?

[mortal drift]

Maybe?

Go to expeditions relive and give it a shot

[manic ravine]

i dont leave the expedition world until the final day

even if im completely finished, why? build limits are gone in that mode

I am close to construction maximum on my main save

on there its a fresh start, without having to start completely all over

wish there was "new game +" where you can keep your technology but you start from begining of game

[buoyant halo]

My problem with base building is i lack an eye for the aesthetic. My bases are spartan and utilitarian.

[warm crest]

Will there be a sale on nms on PlayStation I just got one 2 days ago and have been wanting to play the game for so long on somthing that runs good and now that I have a ps I can but it’s 60$ which is wayyyy to much

[manic ravine]

i would totally start a new save if i got to keep certain stuff

[mortal drift]

You get to keep all expedition rewards

[manic ravine]

like my favorite ship and multitool

just like expedition

[buoyant halo]

Are there any mods that expand your construction maximum?

[manic ravine]

hope so

you can always just delete bases youve not been to in a year or two

[mortal drift]

Dude what are the fucking odds

[manic ravine]

that poor gek technichian still abandoned at the random base on a moon

[tacit cliff]

Yup. I only keep a small number of bases myself as a place to either relax or gather specific resources.

[mortal drift]

This is like my 30th station and still no explorers guild

[buoyant halo]

I seem to recall a 6000 item limit?

[manic ravine]

21,000

i built 6,000 in the last expedition alone

the breached

[smoky plover]

No I mean any ships

[manic ravine]

built 6k items

i was having the time of my life with the freedom to build things again , after my main save was locked out of continuing to build due to construction limit, did you know you cannot even edit your corvette if your build limit is reached

[buoyant halo]

If i can redo breach i think I’m going to build a Fton of those corvette space locators and send them to the main save. If that’s allowed.

[manic ravine]

i like that instead of forcing me to do the tasks it lets you free explore and free play as if you just started a new save with "special conditions"

man was that fun

i mean it

[buoyant halo]

Only thing i dislike about expeditions is i can’t run forever.

[manic ravine]

to be fair, i did shortcut my way thru unlocking all of the construction items

edited that back in

and in this one, i put my flagship from main account onto it

instead of that pos you start with

XD

[buoyant halo]

Save editor?

[manic ravine]

yes

always

and mods

mods are quality of life improvements

and a test bed for my superweapons

I have died so many times to my own weapons, on purpose to test out the range, and lethality, oh and so i can see every single game-over quote

[sleek dirge]

I found out how to make giant sails ingame

Now I'm going to make a pirate outpost, when I find a cool enough planet

[manic ravine]

some of the gameover quotes are funny as hell

[sleek dirge]

Maybe that 91% paradise planet

[mortal drift]

Im about to shit myself WHERE IS A DAMN EXPLORERS GUILD

40!

[sleek dirge]

Did you get the "I think I have a guardian idiot," one?

[manic ravine]

i got an albert einstien one

[sleek dirge]

That one's by an author I met IRL once funilly enough

[manic ravine]

you know you fucked up when even einstien insults you

[sleek dirge]

Spider Robinson

[sleek dirge]

Fr

Or Oppenheimer

"My le bomb blew up thousands?"

[manic ravine]

most player deaths are due to thier own fault, and something that could have been avoided

you have to go out of your way to die in this

[mortal drift]

Albert Einstein "his le bombs will make us have war 4 wit le sticks"

Shroddinger "in all le head"

[manic ravine]

how much you bet that most deaths statistically are because of the geology cannon

[mortal drift]

Freud "mommy? Sorry. Mommy?. Parden. Momm-"

[manic ravine]

i named my multitool FAFO

[naive mist]

Gravity has most imo

[mortal drift]

Turing "6...... 7?"

[manic ravine]

but your own weapons is one of them for sure

that or i just truly am a clumsy oaf who has an itchy trigger finger

i tend to shoot at wildlife, particularly trees and weird looking monsters, but who's the real monster? you, you invade a planet, and ravage it

[mortal drift]

Oh my god

Thank you

THANK YOU

GUILD!

[manic ravine]

i like that in this game , there are 0 consequences for your evil deeds

[mortal drift]

Standing with races go down

[manic ravine]

feel like killing an entire fleet of innocent geks? no problem, there's no laws, and the sentinels just forget about you too

[naive mist]

That makes standing useless with no consequences imo

[manic ravine]

like there should at least be bounty hunters that will hunt after you, replacing pirates, theyd be like the pirates just different in name and dialoge, you can either pay them to go away, or fight them off

[naive mist]

Could be much more

Like npc wont talk to you
Higher shop prices
Closed shops
Closed teleporter
Permament wanted lvl
Etc.etc.

[manic ravine]

something weird happened to me today when i flew my minotaur up to my flagship

it started firing at me with every single cannon

[mortal drift]

Mmm, you have been taken over

[manic ravine]

"that's not supposed to be there"

[mortal drift]

-telemon, probably

[manic ravine]

yes fire at your captain

the one who fixed your whole ship and feeds and fuels the ship, yes attack me

i mean would you attack a flying mecha that suddenly flew up to the ship?

[mortal drift]

Yeah

[manic ravine]

i modded to be able to do that

the mecha goes a lot faster and shoots faster, its like a gundam

[mortal drift]

Mainly because how did i hust get on this futuristic ship? Why is that mech flying towards me? Oooooh weapons panel

[narrow vigil]

They exist

[mortal drift]

Its me

[wise osprey]

a guy was SPAWN CAMPING the last rondevu point

[mortal drift]

Im 95% black mold

[wise osprey]

and now ive lost ALL THE STUFF i was saving to take back ontto my main save

my grave is gone

[mortal drift]

Oof, i learned that lesson on spawn of one of the earlier expeditions

Now i turn off multiplayer during expeditions

[wise osprey]

or pvp

I had saved so many upgrades

I normally have pvp off, does it default to on when you do an expidition?

[mortal drift]

Sometimes yeh

[narrow vigil]

Each new save

[wise osprey]

thats really annoying

I dont rage at games but this happening in a chill game like nms just makes me feel some anger, which is unusual for me

[mortal drift]

If you ask in #nms-lfg-or-trades im sure peeps will help you out on that

Hell, i could even give you my excess tech

[wise osprey]

nah its no big deal\

i was just saving the free upgrades for frieghters, ships and multitools

[mortal drift]

I have too many tech

Please take it

[wise osprey]

oh ok

you on steam?

[mortal drift]

Ye

Give me like

15 mins

Makin dins

[wise osprey]

ill dm you a friend code

[wise osprey]

ill actually go do the same

[mortal drift]

Oh just send me your nms friend code

[wise osprey]

Ok. I am on expedition rn, not sure how that will work

[mortal drift]

Oh okok, finish that up and ill just help you out after youre done

[neat fable]

you return to main game, do the trade then you can go back

[mortal drift]

Oh you can do that?

I know you can go to the terminal but like, i thought it was one way until you finished

[neat fable]

yea, as long as you haven't finished the expedition, you can jump between the two saves.. assuming they used a main save and didn't create one just for the expedition

[wise osprey]

Oh yeah I saw that button

[wise osprey]

I did do that, I want stuff in my main save

[neat fable]

then yer good to go. you switch to main from the game menu, where you restore the save game.
IIRC to get back to the expedition, you go back to the expedition terminal at the anomaly

[mortal drift]

Ill @ you when im done with dins

[carmine bough]

i got myself a sentinal star ship - how does that stack up for a newer player?

[mortal drift]

Pretty decent

Especially if youre able to get a bunch of repair kits to fix it up

[mortal drift]

Oooh

Contrast :3

[smoky jasper]

good enough for now, open for business only problem is I need to use timber walls inside so the edges dont stick out, and timber only has glass doors, so you have an audience while you're poopin in the bathroom. smoke break then finish up some details

[mortal drift]

@wise osprey alrighty, ready whenever you are

[torn plover]

Is it normal to be able to see 2 downed Sentinel ships at once? Even took a pic

[mortal drift]

i go planet hopping and the first planet i fly into to check out is a huge tree chameleon lush with perfect weather and no color filter, thats wild

[manic ravine]

how stupid is it to keep re-rolling x upgrades until you get the highest possible stats for those in the game

as in, trying out over 40 of them or so

or more

s class (boltcaster) will only give you 48% rate of fire for anything while x class can give you 50% , thats two whole percent!

it matters in calculations

[lyric thunder]

2 whole percent? Holy smokes
We're in business, boys

[mortal drift]

Helnp

Anomaly anomalized me

[manic ravine]

so i noticed that the people on the sub don't like it when somebody posts a hacked/modded weapon/ship/exocraft, you name it, unless its like glory to the lord 8k max resolution perfect shading blah blah blah, cus they are probably thinking to themselves like "I worked hard for mine , and this nobody over here just changed a few things in notepad and he got that , downvote lol"

yap over

like why does it matter how hard you worked, this isnt bodybuilding

unless it is

ok my take is terrible

[mortal drift]

I mean this nobody DID just write down in a diary that changed the universe

Downvote ⬇️

[manic ravine]

what?

[mortal drift]

Nothin im bein a shit lul

[manic ravine]

im reading what i posted and im like what

there's no way i'm that mental

[gilded crest]

Could anyone give me a starborn?

[manic ravine]

a what?

[gilded crest]

Starborn runner ship

[manic ravine]

how?

[mortal drift]

Its code for sloppy

[manic ravine]

i can just give one of my saves....

and youll have everything

COULD

doesn't mean i will

[mortal drift]

Not everyone wants to edit their saves yutaka

[manic ravine]

no i know

most do not

[neat fable]

if you make a new save and unlock the starborn runner, then you can sell it to an NPC and the other person can buy it

[gilded crest]

You go to a space station exchange a npcs ship with it then I buy it from the npc if you restart your game you should get it back

[manic ravine]

forget that

[gilded crest]

Not restart your game reload your save

I’m on console

[manic ravine]

im on console and pc

it works together if cross save

[spiral rivet]

Well HG is speedrunning another round of Redux expeditions, could just play through them til you get the starborn

[manic ravine]

tomorrow right?

great, now xbox will be behind another uptdoot , again

[plush shard]

the 18th

[manic ravine]

i'm sensing a pattern here

[gilded crest]

Oh Alr

[manic ravine]

also i just discovered that i had all the expedition rewards the whole time

rip

[gilded crest]

lol

[manic ravine]

hey at least it was a learning experience, kind of

I learned that you can do more then just build houses that are 100 stories tall, even though that is literally what i did in the expedition world too

and this time , it was stairs and walls, not a ladder going straight up. because before it was just those circle buildings that have the ladder going up and down and you couldn't even get off at what floor you wanted to.

[manic ravine]

nobody asked

replying to myself

at least this game has any new people playing it , at all., don't let it die

[hybrid venture]

This game is nowhere close to dying

Corvette had the highest player count since launch

Sure it may not be as popular as Genshin or something like that but I don't think it's like in a dying / rotting state

[naive mist]

10+mil sold copies btw.

[viral summit]

do guilds have a certain pattern with apperances in space stations?

[plush shard]

It's one guild per region of and that region is marked on a system just select a system and expand it to see the details; it's usually R on Pc.

bk201 has a picture of it
#no-mans-sky message

[manic ravine]

nobody I know played it until one of my irl friends mentioned "hey remember No Man's Sky? well it's a lot better then it was years ago, cmon play it with me"

[viral summit]

thanks!!

[manic ravine]

and he was right

I only heard how mediocre it was years ago

[hushed geyser]

When dogfighting I like to hold S for autolock, but when I go against a dreadnought this is actually a pain sinc I can't break anymore. Is there a way to disable autolock for the dreadnought fight?

[spice ether]

Only a way to disable it off, not specifically for the dreadnought fight

It should be in settings somewhere

[hushed geyser]

yeah, didn't find anything either.

[spice ether]

Lemme look for you

[hushed geyser]

How are you doing it? I think remappin the auto lock would be an option.

[spice ether]

I just turn it off completely. In controls, there is a option called "Starship Combat Auto-Follow" and I have set it to disabled

I just prefer being in full control of my ship instead of the auto pilot fighting for me. You dont need to copy me doing that I just prefer it because I like having all control possible especially in something like permadeath

[hushed geyser]

🙂 thanks!

[neat fable]

if you set Auto-Follow to Enabled(Toggle), you can use the E key to enable or disable lock-on when holding S

you can also cycle targets if you are using lock-on, using the , and. keys on PC.

[gaunt finch]

Now whats going on here

[viral summit]

woooo

exalted level merchant

wait

oh did i pick a bad time

[empty pawn]

is less laggy now, but nms kept crashing eventually we ditched the plan to play nms

[mellow wolf]

lmao not at all

Just wanted to speak my part is all.

just claimed my own Atlas station system only 5k ly from center of Eissentam. idk why but i always wanted an undiscovered Atlas system

[hybrid venture]

I got to know on YouTube with some popular videos saying No Man's Sky is the greatest redemption story and yeah, they really pulled it off, but a lot of things and potential to achieve.

Our journey continues

PS: this is why whoever believes NMS will be discontinued after LNF releases doesn't know what they're talking about.

[frigid badge]

last night i mentioned how i just started a permadeath and my first distress signal ended up being an exotic

well i just got my second distress signal and it was an exotic

[restive yarrow]

when changing from normal to creative will I be able to have all available corvette parts ready for building? also will then reverting from creative to normal mess with my save or change anything? asking because I have never changed difficulty since year 1 and this is my orginial save, I just lack the time to go hunt salvage parts and want to finally be able to finish my design idea

[frigid badge]

pretty sure you should be good

[spice ether]

You'll have all but the expedition unlocks if you haven't got those parts. Reverting to normal settings after won't cause any problems you just won't get free building

[waxen palm]

Tasty

[wraith bough]

• LNF fills a completely different niche

NMS is about space

LNF keeps the vastness of NMS, but in heels

And its more fantasy focused

[restive yarrow]

Thanks, I will try it out then.

[wraith bough]

Its a game where i'll likely build all sort of Cathedrals

Already did that in NMS but i'm curious what base parts we will have in LNF

[sleek quest]

Truly the Joan of Arc

[restive yarrow]

my only hope is that NMS will continue to get its love and updates, even if not so often. I got used to have something new every couple of months, bad habits 😛

[tight river]

Hi. How do I unlock the number decals in building parts?

[hybrid venture]

HG is loaded enough to afford both dw 💖

[waxen palm]

One is Sean's baby, the other is another ambitious game

[minor reef]

Is the expedition still available?

[neat fable]

for a couple of days. hurry

[minor reef]

Okay great

I was in Armenia and couldn't complete it

[hybrid venture]

NMS taught HG a lot of things including valuable lessons about communication and project delivery... But I feel the pendulum fell too far the other way, considering the NMS Instagram is hardly active (not on Twitter for personal reasons), and we don't have any road map or future plans like most other games do.

[waxen palm]

Thankfully

I think roadmaps are a mistake for HG

They clearly impulsively add and do things

As for communication, NMS taught them that many gamers don't listen, they interpret

[jovial solar]

wish they had an impulse to fix numerous bugs that modders have fixed and kept updated for like 6 consecutive years

I feel like everyone could benefit from such impulse

[waxen palm]

Not helping consoles any with those, and I'm not feeling the lack tbh

[hybrid venture]

That is true. But I do believe they must have had a plan of what they're planning to do.

I think of the other game I play — Euro Truck Simulator. SCS is also an indie studio, and they're pretty good with communication. Example they announce a year before about future content and they have some demo videos to go along with it so that what they show is what we get — no ambiguity or interpretation.

[waxen palm]

Of course they have a plan - and if they show something that then doesn't make it in time, we as a community would berate them

[hybrid venture]

But doesn't the lack of communication also hurt them? I remember people going bezerk when the Corvette update was baking in the oven because they didn't know what to expect and started wild guessing.

[waxen palm]

I think they feel it's the lesser problem

[jovial solar]

people go nuts and spin wild theories over anything anytime really

the problem is keeping Switch 1 players in the dark

instead of informing them whether corvettes and related content are coming or not

[waxen palm]

There is no way Nintendo isn't part of the problem on this one, I shudder at the NDAs you have to sign

They could still say something tho

[hybrid venture]

Yeah, that I feel was kinda a betrayal even though I don't play on the Switch. It's like you hear your dad bringing cake home, only to find out it's only for your siblings lol

[jovial solar]

you guys are getting cake?

anyway yeah that's how it feels like

[jovial solar]

they could smuggle a message in game files and hope people sniffling in those would find it

[hybrid venture]

I remember when DTG lost the license for CalTrans and LNER on their DLC for Train Sim World, they outright said it openly. Granted they have several other issues and they did not even offer a discount since the official branding was gone, but there was communication.

[jovial solar]

They kept pet name My Little Sony for years before removing the file that contained it, nobody complained

[hybrid venture]

I think they could start by having a person solely for communication. It's actually pretty rare (at least in the games I play) for the head of the company to be tweeting updates.

Example : in Euro Truck Simulator, the updates are released on the company accounts — Instagram, Twitter and YouTube. I have never seen Pavel (CEO of SCS Software) tweet anything on his personals.

[waxen palm]

You trying to make HG corporate

Good luck

[little halo]

What's the average employee total for the games you play?

[waxen palm]

Hint: over 300

[hybrid venture]

400 for SCS Software

[little halo]

Yeah, HG is about 50 or maybe 60 tops

[hybrid venture]

Wow, I thought they had more

[little halo]

With 3 currently published in house games, one published game for another dev, and at least one game in dev

[hybrid venture]

In that case, a person solely for communication doesn't make sense

I assumed they were at least 200+ considering the scale of NMS

[little halo]

The price of being privately owned and making your own decisions

[waxen palm]

Around 25 with NMS

Added more since to get closer to 60

[little halo]

When NMS was released they had 12 I think? 6 for most of pre-release development

[hybrid venture]

Then what the heck is Ubisoft doing with 20,000 people 😭😭

[little halo]

Exactly

[waxen palm]

Struggling

[little halo]

Abotu 4 or 5 years ago they even took a scythe to their administrative overhead, which I assume was already quite low compared to most companies

yo guys once i finish awakening what should i do

to like earn moolah

[north fog]

The rest of the Artemis path, pretty much (main story mission, not atlas path or space anomaly)

Then when you get sidetracked, go do that for a while, then come back and get sidetracked again

[waxen palm]

Pretty much everything you do will earn you money in some fashion

[jovial solar]

try asking in #nms-lfg-or-trades channel

or if you're on PC, you can use mods or save editors to get one yourself

[waxen palm]

it's early Sunday for a lot as well, try again when more are awake

[neat fable]

there's an app you can get that will deliver items to you, like the expedition rewards

[jovial solar]

If you're talking about service bot, keep in mind expedition reward delivery service was moved behind the Patreon subscription paywall

Too many people flooded the game and the service after Voyagers update and brought it down

[worthy lake]

oh thanks

[worthy lake]

yeah but thats cheating and that kinda ruins the game for me

[jovial solar]

lol

aint no cheating in this game since its not a competitive experience

if you have your reasons not to use these options, that's fine

Im just letting you know other options exist in case initial plan doesnt work out

[neat fable]

asking for someone to give you one is not cheating?
It is supposed to be a special reward.

[manic turtle]

This is so beautiful! Such a mood. I'm glad I opened the chat to see this inspiration. May be time to get back into photo-mode 📸

Yes please, more photos
