They generally come and go, but at the end of the year, Hello Games reruns expeditions, so there's a chance you can redo it

[jovial marten]

love this game so much. it's my comfort game.

[south python]

I wish and.. perhaps this is wishful thinking, that they add actual sprawling cities

[zealous loom]

I love going to worlds where something is marked as spawning underground when caves don’t generate properly

[tulip oar]

There's lore reasons why they won't

[south python]

🙁

Damn I look forward to unlocking living ships

[narrow vigil]

Flowing fields of honey and Pepto-Bismol

[zealous loom]

I have a hopping demonic mushroom as a pet

its bigger than player and rideable

[cunning niche]

So do the Titan expedition currently active and save yourself from wasting 4 days doing the living ship mission. The reward is a beautiful living ship.

The living ship from the expedition is also a lot nicer and comes with good techs in it. The one you get by doing mission will have nothing.

[zealous loom]

good to know. I figured as much so I ported it over instead of my minivette

[south python]

I saw these ships online, wanted to check, like they're half organic and half machine, are they a thing in the games? Or just a mod

[zealous loom]

living ships are in the game

we have living frigates too

[mossy spindle]

living freighter when? lol

[zealous loom]

Idk if i’d even want to step foot inside one

Tyrannid hive ship vibes

[mossy spindle]

eh, couldnt be that bad

[zealous loom]

Flesh! flesh everywhere.

[mossy spindle]

could be bone too

[zealous loom]

some people just won’t be able to stomach it i’m pretty sure

if you think roaches are bad I found a planet with bug creatures bigger than a legacy ship

[mossy spindle]

sounds like that planet needs some democracy lol

[zealous loom]

Yeah it probably does

I found an oceanic world that legit had a 1.1k depth to get to bottom

thalassophobia simulator

I named it after the subnautica planet

[mossy spindle]

I have a friend that wont go to ocean worlds for that reason

[zealous loom]

its so creepy because you can’t see like anything in front but it has bioluminescent flora at the bottom

[mossy spindle]

The glowing ocean flora and what not is beautiful tho

[zealous loom]

yeah but i’m gonna expand the base

[narrow vigil]

I want to Frankenstein together living Corvette pieces

[zealous loom]

I have no choice but to use a portal at the bottom

[narrow vigil]

connects cockpit head to body

cockpit head screams

11/10

[zealous loom]

uses thunderbird hab instead of living hab

oh thats gonna get gross real fast with living ship interior

[mossy spindle]

No that would be epic!

[narrow vigil]

The squishy sounds inside is it hugging you

[zealous loom]

how one would get inside scares me

[cunning niche]

In-game, you can have living frigates too but first you must have a freighter (any), buy frigates and send them on expedition until they drop the Dream Aerial, the first living frigate is free, the next ones not really 😅

[mossy spindle]

Orifice

[zealous loom]

anomaly detector is needed for any subsequent ones right

[zealous loom]

Noah! Get the boat

[cunning niche]

Yes, let it pulse and do not stop until you see whalesong message, ignore all the rare encounter messages.

It can take anywhere between 4 and 20 minutes doing pulse engine, and it's only one per system

[zealous loom]

getting anomaly detectors in large quantities is annoying

[mossy spindle]

Yeah definitely

[lyric ermine]

Debating whether or not to start a new save

[cunning niche]

Personal take, is it gonna give you any benefits??
I started one just for expedition.

[south python]

Interesting. But it's not the kind of ship/ships, I'm on about, the ones I saw they look like decaying muscles/fresh with razor sharp teeth as part of the ship

Another looked like flesh mixed with crystals and mechanical wiring and mechanical pieces

[cunning niche]

Urgh nahh, that sounds mods or some old stuff. I never crossed those here.

[south python]

I see 🙁

I was getting excited

[cunning niche]

PC folks use Blender to design ships which is then converted into a ship in the game.

There's more to it of course but that is pretty much it

[south python]

Ah

[solemn bough]

I appreciate that beachhead keeps getting rerun but I wish they'd throw in a few more old expeditions between waiting for new ones during the year

[hollow fox]

Agreed. It's a little silly that anyone who wasn't around for them the first time is just stuck with "wait for years and maybe it'll come back around".

[frosty moth]

Evening

[hollow fox]

Yo

[tulip oar]

h

hi

[mortal drift]

Oh my

@narrow vigil youve got new color

[dreamy kayak]

anyone else gotta base in the current nexus weekend mission system?

[sharp raft]

is that what the current nexus mission is? building a base?

[dreamy kayak]

nope, i just usually ignore the mission and build a base anyways

[sharp raft]

ah heh. well as long as progress for the community research is progressing

Gotta have some weird new plants after all!

[dreamy kayak]

i did do the mission this time as it was easy

but i always just do a base

if its cool enough i keep it

but i like building around people once a week

[sharp raft]

heh Mitey surprised you haven't established a base in the hub

[dreamy kayak]

what hub?

[tulip oar]

nmscord hub

[sharp raft]

this discord channel has a settled system sir.. called the NMSCord hub

[dreamy kayak]

oh cool

[sharp raft]

plenty of people to find around there every once in awhile

[dreamy kayak]

what galaxy, euclid?

[sharp raft]

in the pins of #nmscord-hub you wil find the portal location and planetary information for whats in the hub

[buoyant halo]

Community mission rewards. They unlock on the quicksilver vendor. Are they brand new things not seen in the vendor before?

[dreamy kayak]

yeah trying to find it through the pins

[sharp raft]

there you go sir. tagged you in the channel and ran the system info. Each planets basic information and glyphs presented

all in one luscious gift pack heh

[dreamy kayak]

ok just gotta pick which system

[frosty moth]

Hello best friend omg 👁️

[tulip oar]

what

[frosty moth]

Im crying lol , im just random 🧀 how is everyone tonight

[dreamy kayak]

maybe gunterland

ok on my way

[cerulean cliff]

They should have all the expeditions always open :x though you can only earn rewards for it once

[frosty moth]

Fair

[cerulean cliff]

that way new people or people on breaks wouldnt miss out, and i think more people would stick around to play them

[sharp raft]

it is a nice cold planet. one of mitey's settlements is there

[frail parcel]

New Base post Expo is well powered

[brave canyon]

would completely ruin the point of the expeditions lol

[cerulean cliff]

Would it?

[brave canyon]

i mean their whole thing is limited time rewards

[cerulean cliff]

people go into already discovered things already

[brave canyon]

its like saying keep all the old fortnite battlepasses permanently

ruins the point of the exclusivity

[cerulean cliff]

Then dont make the rewards locked to each expedition in a limited time sense, make them cost quicksilver and change the limited rewards to quicksilver or nanites. Then, have each set of rewards locked until youve completed their specific expedition once.

[brave canyon]

yeah but the rewards are supposed to be rare and near unobtainable after it ends

[cerulean cliff]

Well thats pointless now isnt it? since theyre doing reduxes

Plus, if you felt like it, you could go back and do an expedition again for reduced quicksilver rewards. Say half as much each time. so the second time is half rewards, the third is 1/4

the 4th time on doesnt get any quicksilver rewards

would still offer unit and nanite rewards at full every time

[narrow briar]

worst take ever

[frail parcel]

How could 1 go back and do them for first time

[cerulean cliff]

Make a new save

[cerulean cliff]

Why though?

[frail parcel]

why a new one if I have not done them before -350 hours since Oct 23

[cerulean cliff]

Well if you havent done them on that save then doing one would be for the first time yes?

[frail parcel]

again first time yes

[cerulean cliff]

as it is now, you have to wait for them to put the expedition out again on a redux like theyre doing right now

for beachhead last time and titan currently

[dreamy kayak]

hub base so far

thats the first building piece

[cerulean cliff]

why vikings xd

[umbral tiger]

How do I defeat a dreadnought? Not sure where the shields are... I jsut keep shooting down missles.

hub base continued

[viral peak]

I cannot find a good planet to build my main base. Do y’all have any?

[tulip oar]

maybe try looking around in #explorers-archive , see if you like anything there

[placid plover]

i dont know why i did it exactly, but i now have a mine on every extractable resource type doing 3000/hr

[elfin field]

That’s goated

[brittle bough]

how the hell does the livestock unit work, ive seen animals get the green + twice now and this unit has nothing in its inventory

[hollow fox]

You've also got the automated feeder set up and stocked with pellets?

[brittle bough]

yup

[elfin field]

Should work automatically

[hollow fox]

Odd

[brittle bough]

also do animals just not have spawnpoints near rivers/ponds/lakes?

[hollow fox]

Sometimes it seems to depend on the specific animal or planet. One I have on a Toxic planet produces very little, meanwhile I have one on a grassy planet and it puts out milk and other stuff faster than I could ever use it.

The grassy one though has like 5 times as many animals around as on the toxic world, but the rate is still vastly different even accounting for that.

[elfin field]

Also you gotta make sure to give animals a good pet every ones in a while

[tulip oar]

what's his name

[elfin field]

Philemon

Phil was too simple and Bartholomew too complex

[brittle bough]

how many animals per automated feeding unit

[elfin field]

I’m not sure but it’s at least one

[hollow fox]

I've not done a head count on mine, but I think my grassy planet one has at least a dozen hanging around it, plus some roaming stuff gets involved once in a while.

[elfin field]

I don’t think there’s a limit though

[hollow fox]

There probably isn't a limit aside from "how many animals are around/can possibly exist in one place at one time"

[umbral tiger]

So I'm also still learning ins & outs of galaxy map. I see a few different types of systems: Water, Dissonant, and Gas Giant. What do each of these mean in game terms? Water means at least one of the planets or moons in that system will have water? What does Dissonant mean? And Gas Giant is pretty obvious to me.

[rich tree]

YESSS i finally came across a S class pirate freighter 🙏

[elfin field]

I believe water means that there’s water in the system I ‘THINK’ I’m not sure

Dissonant means there’s a dissonant planet great money farm

And gas giant means there’s a gas giant

[tulip oar]

water yes

[umbral tiger]

Do most the planets in Water systems have water, or just at least one?

[tulip oar]

at least one

[elfin field]

Is there any others? I don’t remember seeing any ever

[tulip oar]

I think just the ones you listed

[elfin field]

I had a dream once

[umbral tiger]

What's the most light years anyone has jumped in one go?

[elfin field]

I think just under 1000 is mine or are you asking like of all time vs PRs

[hollow fox]

Personally about 3400 in my freighter. It's not maxed though. I hear they can get above 5000 if set up properly.

[umbral tiger]

I think I'm jumping about 1000 rn, but my ship is maxed out I think, so probably should try jumping from my freighter.

[elfin field]

How did people ever dream of getting to the center in the early days

So many warps and so many materials it feels lol

[cerulean cliff]

found like a dinosaur for a companion and his random name is Suckie :x

[brittle bough]

I finally did it, anomalous doughnuts

its been 20 minutes and im already at 1bil units

[cerulean cliff]

im at 700mil from finding and scrapping interceptors lol

plus some trading

[brittle bough]

damn dude, I was salvaging interceptors but it was abysmal

[cerulean cliff]

i mean its not mega hard to do it fast,

youll need a harmonic echo map, and optionally a sentinel nest map to shut them down so you can farm Mirror walkers from the sky without interruption

then you just go to the echo spot, unlock it, and find interceptors quickly one after the other

make sure to put a save beacon down so you can go back

[brittle bough]

sounds abysmal

ill stick to cooking and scanning

[cerulean cliff]

is it? lol

up to you :p

dont have to fly the interceptors back to anywhere can just leave them and theyre in your list

[warm jacinth]

anyone built base on water only planet?

[cerulean cliff]

deep oceans terrify me

[steep pebble]

hi

[cerulean cliff]

which is why ill never play subnautica

[warm jacinth]

i mean surface not deep water

[cerulean cliff]

still lol

[warm jacinth]

ah alright

[drifting scroll]

GUYS

IM STUCK ON A LADDER

AND THJE LADDER IS INVIS SO I CANT MOVE IT

[nova shard]

Oh no!

[hushed geyser]

How do I know how many flora/minerals I'm missing on a planet? For fauna it says like 8/10, but not for the others.

[drifting scroll]

also why did my interior padding turn into john cena

[warm jacinth]

dats like wat happened to my base on water only rest of place is fine

[halcyon tide]

you don't

._.

[hushed geyser]

ty.

[drifting scroll]

what do i do if i cant summon a starship because its damaged but im on the other side of the galaxy?

[nova shard]

Uh... Call one that isn't damaged?

[cerulean cliff]

you also get 2 chances at good multitools

[cunning niche]

Materials, you have zero reasons to do it manually, plan the location of your bases to automatically mine 2-3 resources.
Once you get the keys resources being mined, you are set.

As for the warp to the center, you just need a portal with at least one glyphs, input it for the entire address and send it, it will always put you 5000 ly away IIRC from the galaxy core so no many warps really.

[cunning niche]

Summon it while on planet, it's a safety feature added by the devs so you are never stuck without ship, or use your freighter.
You cannot summon damaged ships from the space station or Anomaly.

[drifting scroll]

wtf

i maxed out my graphics and im at a higher fps???

[drifting scroll]

it says cannot launch starship damaged

[cunning niche]

You should be able to unless this safety feature is broken.
Your only option left is the freighter, make sure you store your ships coz if there's too many, it won't show up.

On a freighter, you manage your ships from the computer at the bridge room.

[drifting scroll]

had to jump to another system to summon them which is wierd

[cerulean cliff]

were you in a colored star system?

other than yellow

[drifting scroll]

i was in my yellow home system

[cerulean cliff]

weird

[hollow fox]

I discovered that as well. My rig is older than a lot of players on the game, yet somehow turning my settings up improved everything. I doubt this old brick would handle max everything though. lol.

[drifting scroll]

im running a rig better then the computer used to launch astronauts to the moon

[hollow fox]

I think an old Nokia phone was more powerful than what NASA had back during the moon race.

[drifting scroll]

anyone got starship salvage stuff for upgrading?

[maiden rapids]

Everyone says Supermoon is the best NMS soundtrack
But I love Blueprint for A Slow Machine SO damn much
Like you could play any song from NMS’ soundtrack and I’d go “ohhh, that’s No Man’s Sky” but play Blueprint for A Slow Machine and I’m like “HOLY SHIT THATS NO MAN’S FUCKING SKY”

[native kiln]

Real

[next nimbus]

Actually, if you select the Exploration Guide sub-mission on the Logs tab, it will show you.

[drifting scroll]

how many atlas stations do i have to visit?

[manic ravine]

Wow do you guys ever sleep?

[brittle bough]

does livestock unit work with floating anomalous creatures

[mild marsh]

That one used to be my most peak, but now Monolith is

[fluid mason]

Ones that fly, I have never seen use my feeders

[brittle bough]

not fly but float above the ground, mine aint collecting from any of them yet they have the green + and even the green leaf icon

trying to farm hexaberries from them

[silver night]

It's utmost fun that if you want to hear the games's music while playing it, you have to put it on in some player.

[wraith dagger]

this game needs more gold

[umbral sequoia]

You can automate gold. There are planets that have gold hotspots. Put down a base, a bunch of extractors and storage silos, wire it all up and your base will automatically gather gold even when you're not playing the game.

[viral peak]

I finally have a S-Class ship.

[drifting scroll]

which one?

[viral peak]

Well, I still need to fix it a bit.

[drifting scroll]

no u dont

[viral peak]

The uhh.

[drifting scroll]

does it look damaged?

[viral peak]

Protector of something.

The round one with a big wing going up.

[waxen palm]

Names are procgen, won't mean anything to us - what type is it?

Sounds like an Exotic

[viral peak]

It is. I need my inventory spots.

[drifting scroll]

is it the pirate dreadnought?

[viral peak]

I have no idea

[waxen palm]

Orb with a tall wing ?

[viral peak]

No, the normal one.

[viral peak]

Yes!

That one.

[waxen palm]

Exotic type ya

[plush cloak]

big dead planets are so broken they stop rendering the terrain halfway

[viral peak]

I found it while going to distress signals.

[waxen palm]

Same orb, different wing types

[plush cloak]

but it looks oddly cool

[drifting scroll]

normal?

whats the name

or send a picture in #nms-media

[viral peak]

Not a Freighter.

A fighter.

[drifting scroll]

OHHHH

[viral peak]

Yeah!

[drifting scroll]

i thought you meant freighters

hmm

altough

[viral peak]

No.

[drifting scroll]

i still havent gotten an S class starship

[viral peak]

The S class is my second ship that I am actually using and not selling.

Since the first one was the starter.

[viral peak]

I want to do the story but not do it at the same time so I can finally jump from one galaxy to the other.

[ivory heath]

oh man, my first titan worm planet discovery did not go well 😭 scared the crap out of me

[drifting scroll]

oh yeahhh i forgot there are multiple galaxies

[viral peak]

256 I think.

[umbral sequoia]

This was my old exotic, sounds like you're describing something like it:

[bold merlin]

finally successful in finding a earth like paradise planet

[viral peak]

Without the two side wings.

That is my ship.

[viral peak]

I am still looking.

[long coyote]

Any body been to 256/257 galaxy?

[waxen palm]

Sure, years ago

[umbral sequoia]

They are no longer legitimately accessible, right now reaching the core of 255 sends you back to Euclid. And all galaxies from 256 onward are just 256 again but with a different randomly generated name. And the are not interesting, balanced generation like 70% of the 255 accessible galaxies. You can enter 256 if you join a player already there but the fact that it can't be entered normally makes a lot of people want in so it's probably far more populated by player than all but 5 or so of the normally accessible galaxies.

[violet forge]

Good thing spirit27 - iteration 1 isn’t here

[waxen palm]

Ya, 257 has always been a myth

**The Truth about galaxy #257 and the Negative galaxies**

No Man's Sky will generate galaxy names for any number you put into the save file with a save editor, so you can see many different names on the galaxy map, but you are really still in Odyalutai or Euclid depending if you go above 256 or below 0.

Contributor: Gumsk#9650

[umbral sequoia]

Technically every system has one exotic ship model, but they are only S class so you'll never see them in 1 star economies without some serious trickery, and they only have 1% chance to spawn in 2 star economies and 2% chance to spawn in 3 star economies. Exotics have two base models...the orb variants, which look like the one in my screenshot above although they don't always have the long wings...sometimes they have no wings. And then there is a squid model toll..that one only has one shape with only variation being the color, but is rarer and harder to find.

[manic ravine]

Is it nice if I gave somebody 30 salvaged data that was in the anomaly standing near the construction upgrade computer

Because you need those to buy stuff

[drifting scroll]

how do you get one if you see it?

[waxen palm]

The exotic spawn rate is independent of economy strength

[manic ravine]

I also gave somebody 30 multitool expansion slots

Hope they know how to use it

As they have the default travler model

[umbral sequoia]

Same as any other ship...if it lands you talk to the pilot and you buy it or if you find it crashed without a pilot you can claim it.

[manic ravine]

Salvage data and multitool,suit,frieghter cargo upgrade slots are the best things you can gift players

They can take those to either space station , or use the salvage data at anomaly

[umbral sequoia]

Never seen one spawn in a 1 star economy. Granted I also never tried ship hunting in one star economies because it's like trying to squeeze water out of rocks.

[waxen palm]

Yep, exotics are doing their own thing, 1 in 301 no matter the economy

[manic ravine]

Using a slot upgrade costs nothing right ?

[waxen palm]

Correct

[manic ravine]

That was nice of me to give that then

[waxen palm]

Except with the suit iirc

I believe you have to purchase one, and then you can apply the augments

[manic ravine]

I just hope the people I handed them too know what to do with em

I gave away some planetary charts , and some navigation beacons

[umbral sequoia]

You can find an exosuit slot pod, gain a slot by repairing it and then you can apply your other slots without spending units if you have lots of slots and purchasing one is very expensive.

[waxen palm]

Nice tip

[long coyote]

I know this. I am playing for 10 years and I could not get there so, I am looking for a player that has been there

They refine for 50 nanites each, they are the eggs from biohorrors

Runaway mold is going to be the better farm tho, I'm sure

[manic ravine]

Hydraline brains

And runaway mold

[drifting scroll]

ive been refining hyaline brains, they go for 250 each

[waxen palm]

Oh fair

Forgot about those

[manic ravine]

Idr if it's spelled that

[waxen palm]

Again, not the most efficient farm

[drifting scroll]

whats the most efficient?

[waxen palm]

Has to be runaway mold I think, or the outlaw suspicious goods method

[manic ravine]

Not most efficient but it does give the most nanites at one time , and if you got some take em with you to the expedition so you can buy your multitool and ship back

You get around 3,000 for a stack of them

[waxen palm]

Various methods, outlaw systems

[manic ravine]

You get the brains by flying around and fighting sentinel ships sometimes they drop them

[waxen palm]

It's basically buying nanites

[drifting scroll]

ive got multiple brains so i will refine them

[manic ravine]

Yes take them with you to expedition

[umbral sequoia]

Underwater relics...use binoculars, they have a golden symbol separate from living pearls...quite common. You can also find alluring specimens underwater and you can go pick off the glowing orbs off them to gain hadal cores but those are bait and you will be attacked by a giant underwater creature at some point...possibly as soon as you pick the first orb if you're unlucky.

[waxen palm]

Which I am 90% of the time

[drifting scroll]

why do i take to expedition?

[manic ravine]

Because in expedition you have to buy your multitool and ship back using nanites

[drifting scroll]

what is expedition tho, i havent played it

[manic ravine]

It's a game mode in this game

You do basically tasks

[drifting scroll]

what do you do in expedition

[umbral sequoia]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MBI5tLmf8Nk

[waxen palm]

Time limited, goal oriented - find X amount of this, craft X amount of that go here, go there

[manic ravine]

It's something to do if you can't think of anything else to do

[drifting scroll]

do you get rewards?

[waxen palm]

Oh yea

[drifting scroll]

what kind of reewards?

[manic ravine]

I do them only because I get to build more things , there's not a construction limit on there that's part of your main save, an extra 21,000

[misty vault]

quick question, is it known already that the lights in ur corvette can flicker around if theres too much light stuff somewhere

like whut

[waxen palm]

The Phase rewards and completion reward are also available to claim on any and all saves

[umbral sequoia]

Yes...unique rewards for all your saves that can't be obtained any other way.

[waxen palm]

Varies, usually posters and other cosmetics, with maybe a unique ship or outfit

[manic ravine]

Ship, weapon, cosmetic items, buildable items , and other little things

[drifting scroll]

do you like completely restart in expeditons?

[waxen palm]

All the rewards for the current are pinned in #nms-expedition

[waxen palm]

Ish

[manic ravine]

Partially

[drifting scroll]

you keep stuff that you brought but restart with all the ships and stuff?

[manic ravine]

Yeah it just costs nanites which is why I said you need stuff to turn into nanites

[waxen palm]

You have two options with expeditions, you can start one from a current save and take things - but you can also start a fresh save. The intro is far more streamlined and you start with more things than you normally do

[drifting scroll]

how many nanites do i need to get everything i owned?

[manic ravine]

3000-5000 ish dont remember

[drifting scroll]

thats not a lot

[misty vault]

check out how preti

[manic ravine]

Nope it not a lot

[waxen palm]

They are also designed to be completed with a brand new save, taking things is a nice luxury but not required at all

[drifting scroll]

i can bring a full stack of stuff right?

[manic ravine]

Honestly wish there was a way to start a new save but bring a lot of your core items with ya, that way I can just get to building again

[waxen palm]

I mean

You are editing and modding like no one's business

Just edit in the stuff

[manic ravine]

Yeah

True

Haha you gotta point there

[drifting scroll]

whats an obsidian bead planet?

[manic ravine]

I know and I've never had so much fun in a video game in my entire life

[waxen palm]

Volcano world

[misty vault]

me too

this is peak

[manic ravine]

Like I've laughed till it physically hurt

[misty vault]

,main reason i dont wanna do expeditions is because i cant be arsed to edit in all my ultra save edited shit

and i dont wanna start form nothing

[manic ravine]

You know you're having fun when it's painful to laugh more

[drifting scroll]

how many nanites are required to S tier a ship?

[bleak narwhal]

if i want a corvette do i just farm pirates at this point cuz it gives me a lot of cash or do i got for some other quest

[manic ravine]

It's fun because I get the extra building space and deleting persistent player bases using the editor and deleting them in the raw Json is a pain in the neck

Last expedition it says I constructed 6,000 or something parts

I forgot where the starting planet of this expedition is on , and now I cannot find it

[misty vault]

wanna see the lowkey best thing about modding and save editing

[drifting scroll]

just go to a station i think

[misty vault]

only ppl in far end game will understnand

[sudden canopy]

If you find a planet with 'salvagable scrap' you can dig up all the parts you'll need

[drifting scroll]

and it will give you a tutorial on how to make a corvette

[bleak narwhal]

wait really? thats so much better

[misty vault]

lowkey godly

[manic ravine]

Going to galaxy center is considered endgame? Nah it's not even the beginning

[sudden canopy]

I built this outta salvaged parts

[misty vault]

nonono i mean what i sent

[manic ravine]

Oh yeah

[misty vault]

only ppl in far end game will understand why this is lowkey trhe best thing in svae editing

[brittle veldt]

guys

its my birthday

what should i make?

[misty vault]

a flying gun

[sudden canopy]

A cake?

[misty vault]

also hapi birthday

[brittle veldt]

a flying gun eh...

Glock or ak

[misty vault]

@waxen palm how do i know if a system is wealthy?

[waxen palm]

If you have an economy scanner, it will show as three star on the galaxy map. If not, you will need to go there and then look at the name of the economy wealth

[drifting scroll]

whats the wealthiest?

[oak relic]

hey guys is there an active faction in the delta quadrant that i can join?

[waxen palm]

It doesn't really work like that, there are 1 star economies which all have the same wealth levels, 2 star all the same, and 3 star all the same

You want one of the synonyms

Contributor: u/Ne0mega

[drifting scroll]

what about the ones that say opulent and stuff

[waxen palm]

That's a 3 star

[drifting scroll]

so the high wealth titles dont matter?

it just needs to be 3 star right

[waxen palm]

Similar to planets, there are multiple names for the same wealth level

[cerulean cliff]

Titles equate to their star level it seems so yes it somewhat matters when looking through

[drifting scroll]

whats the best way to get exotic ships?

[cerulean cliff]

Get lucky lol

[weary hollow]

waiting

[waxen palm]

Ya, patience

Or looking up documented crash locations

[drifting scroll]

im following this surefire method from 8 years ago rn

[weary hollow]

in 3 star systems it's a... 1% chance?

[waxen palm]

Whatever it is I doubt it's surefire

[waxen palm]

No

Exotic ships have the same spawn rate regardless of economy wealth

[cerulean cliff]

Get a freighter and wait for them to park on it xD

[weary hollow]

whatever it is it takes a while

[cerulean cliff]

That’s how I got mine

[drifting scroll]

whats the best way to get one then?

[cerulean cliff]

Though I wasn’t waiting it just happens

I was about to leave my freighter and he just pops in

Surprised the heck outta me

[waxen palm]

If you really want to get one quick, it's going to be save scumming

[drifting scroll]

how to save scum?

[waxen palm]

Trading post, don't park on the pads, make a save. Reload save, check the ships that spawn and fly towards the post, if no exotic reload and check again, repeat

It's boooooring

But it will speed it up

[oak relic]

hey umm does someone have an nation that i can join here?

[waxen palm]

#1418605454300549120

[drifting scroll]

thats the method i was doing from 8 years ago

its a reddit post called surefire exotic

[waxen palm]

Lol

Surefire is technically accurate

It could still take several hours

[drifting scroll]

but its 100% eventually

[icy rivet]

Well there you go. Reddit is never wrong.

[drifting scroll]

you cant have 40% of a ship

[cerulean cliff]

Just as long as you’re committed lol

[waxen palm]

Well, you have a .33 chance each time

That means each time, it doesn't accumulate or change the odds when repeating

[icy rivet]

Exotics are still pretty uncommon no matter what you do, though, so be patient.

[drifting scroll]

can i do the method on a freighter?

@waxen palm is it a 0.33 each time a ship docks?

[waxen palm]

Every time one spawns

[drifting scroll]

oh

thjen its not too bad

ive spent days getting a single item before

what does an exotic look like?

[violet forge]

IVE DONE IT

good luck on that and see ya!

[drowsy mortar]

Just loaded up the game, after having been off for over a year. My daughter had played it, and apparently she thought deleting a save file with for 3k hours was a good idea...

[brittle heath]

oh hell no, any possibility to recover it? hello games cloud?

[naive mist]

Backups pepole. Backups!

[brittle heath]

well theres the HG cloud slash cross save. Or anything else?

[umbral sequoia]

I don't have kids but I keep save backups on multiple drives. PC and PS4 can easily back up saves no problem, PS5 is a bit more annoying because you can only back up all of the saves on your PS5 at once but I still do it.

[north fog]

MYTHOS

[brittle heath]

did you just save the whole NMS folder or is there any, specific file you copy?

[manic ravine]

theres nothing in this game more fun then being so powerful that you can fly up to entire armadas freighter and frigates, and start shooting at them and destroying them for no reason whilist not being in a ship, and while some good music is on

cannt do that in any other game as far as i know

didnt even shoot me back

or was there anybody home even?

whats all the resources needed to activate a portal?

[manic ravine]

how come none of the ships even attempted to shoot me back?

not like it would have helped them

no mans sky is my dopamine

being evil in it is more dopamine

[drifting scroll]

nvm

[manic ravine]

the resources?

what kinda portal?

[drifting scroll]

@manic ravine is this a good vehicle for mining

[manic ravine]

kinda

[drifting scroll]

dw, i just need di hydrogen rn

my ship should have some

[manic ravine]

considering its the expedition, you don't need a high hyperdrive range anyway

otherwise, that ship is, well i'm gonna sound mean, but it could be better

[drifting scroll]

im not in expedition

[drifting scroll]

i have a better ship, but its too big to go salvaging

[manic ravine]

it needs some tlc i'll just say that

[drifting scroll]

tlc?

[manic ravine]

have you got any money to buy upgrades?

[drifting scroll]

3 billion yes

[manic ravine]

then upgrade that thing

the stats are a bit low just a little bit

[drifting scroll]

i mean, i just need it to do the absolute bare minnimum of driving and shooting

[manic ravine]

it can't do a lot of shooting

its a cute ship ill say that

[drifting scroll]

ive got this thing as my main ship

[manic ravine]

now thats better

[drifting scroll]

why cant it do a lot of shooting

[manic ravine]

because what damage output do your weapons do at less then 200 damage

[drifting scroll]

?

[manic ravine]

im not gonna comment on it anymore

[hallow drum]

How do i get stuff to make starships?

[drifting scroll]

i can help with that

its in the map guy on the right of a station 1st floor

get a distress signal chart

and when you activate it

it can lead you to a distress signal of an abandoned ship

[hallow drum]

Oh ty

[left maple]

starships can simply be bough t in space stations, or fouind on planet distress signals, however one on distress signas may need to be bought, or fixed

[manic ravine]

the 145 stat is just a little embarrassing

[drifting scroll]

WAIT YOU CAN BUY THE ONES THAT ARE BROKEN????

[next nimbus]

when you say make starships do you mean corvettes or non-corvettes?

[drifting scroll]

its cobbled together from leftovers in the freezer from 3000BC so it should be

[manic ravine]

why is the gun, right on top of the reactor \

well its your ship

[drifting scroll]

didnt have any more space

[hallow drum]

Does anyone know how to get those staffs?

[drifting scroll]

staff?

the things the players are holding?

[quiet snow]

Multi tool

[next nimbus]

play the game past the ending

[quiet snow]

Some staffs are from expeditions

[hallow drum]

K

[quiet snow]

Some from story

[left maple]

Corvettes can be built free of cost finding salvageable dig spots, though upgrades will need upgrade materials or units/nanites

[hallow drum]

How long is the story?

[quiet snow]

Decent long

[next nimbus]

I finished it around 220h in :b

[drifting scroll]

is this a good ship setup?

[next nimbus]

but that means nothing

[manic ravine]

what does the inventory look like for that ship

[quiet snow]

Lol thats quite high

[manic ravine]

now thats more like it good job, why didn't you show that one before

[hallow drum]

Oh im on hour 15 220 is a long time

[quiet snow]

Thats a gud ship

[next nimbus]

I spent a lot of time just following my squirrel-like attention span

[hallow drum]

Same

[drifting scroll]

its maxed out tech slots

[quiet snow]

Haha that's understandable

[manic ravine]

im sorry i ever made comments

you got good ships

[quiet snow]

I would personally change the cockpit but thats just me....

[drifting scroll]

i like the titan cockpit because wires

[next nimbus]

I'd go in thinking to further the story and end up spending 8h twiddling my base or my corvette

[manic ravine]

i mean nobodys first ship is going to be like, warhammer 40k

[quiet snow]

Wellll

[manic ravine]

but that is not the first ship

[quiet snow]

Now i have to look at a wh ship lmao

Brb

[hallow drum]

I haven't made a base yet but i have to now because off the story lol

[drifting scroll]

i lost my base with my engineers to a catastrofic "accident"

[quiet snow]

I have seen a few i think 🤔 made into a corvette

[manic ravine]

im sorry but you kinda made it look like that was your first corvette

[hallow drum]

lol

[next nimbus]

you don't have to make a good base ... unless you want to spend days getting that sill storage unit positioned just right

[drifting scroll]

the timeless regret?

[manic ravine]

i should not been such a jerk

[drifting scroll]

its my latest masterpiece

[manic ravine]

no no the small one

[drifting scroll]

yeah

[manic ravine]

the minimalist one

[drifting scroll]

the samll one is called timeless regret

[manic ravine]

its a regret alright

i regret looking at it

jk

[drifting scroll]

i might jus S tier it for fun

[hallow drum]

Im on a cool planet with purple crystals that im going to make my base on

[next nimbus]

great name!

[manic ravine]

you should, you really need to improve those low stats, the stats dont matter but 145? is that actually normal in retrospect?

thats just what i'd do with tthat

[drifting scroll]

i wonder if anyone woukd understand the color scheme

[drifting scroll]

its good enough to shoot salvage containers yeah

its not like im fighting 6 dreadnoughts with it

[manic ravine]

so is your multitool

[next nimbus]

who cares when it looks that good

[quiet snow]

Evangelion?

[manic ravine]

i bet your multitool does more damage then that corvete

[drifting scroll]

yes

[quiet snow]

Ooo

[drifting scroll]

it does excactly 10x more :D

[manic ravine]

how embarrassing

[hallow drum]

Whats a good to make money

[quiet snow]

Sentinal ships

[drifting scroll]

i can give you like 100m if u want

[manic ravine]

i would rather die then pilot that

not literally

[hallow drum]

Nty i want to do it on my own ty tho

[drifting scroll]

okaj

[manic ravine]

what do the tech slots look like on that one you asked about mining with

curious

[drifting scroll]

no upgrades at all :D

[manic ravine]

why?

[brittle heath]

Where does the contempt towards interceptors come from?

[drifting scroll]

its not worth the nanites

[manic ravine]

so you just a cheapskate

thats better then

[drifting scroll]

i rlly need to upgrade my freighter but cant find salvage modules

[manic ravine]

you can get salvage modules by attacking civilian fleets

[drifting scroll]

that makes me a terrorist and i dont wanna do that

[manic ravine]

it does not

you are just taking the technology for a purpose

theres nobody on it

[hybrid venture]

Might wanna mention that they'll lose standing as well

[manic ravine]

you can get standing back

[left maple]

This is a game - they are nothing but 0's and 1's - literally, and besides how many of those pirates are gek, Vy'Keen, Astrophage, and so on?

[manic ravine]

by giving little gifts to the npcs

and they suddenly forgive

[hybrid venture]

Yeahh but it's ultimately upto to them, I've never attacked a civilian fleet so I kinda relate to what they're feeling

[drifting scroll]

i would drill out the core of every gek planet and make it collapse together then talk to one

[manic ravine]

whos bad now?

idk but that sounds pretty bad

badass that is

[drifting scroll]

ive been to multiple stations and havent found a single traveler smh

[manic ravine]

its the only fast and easy way to get those modules you so crave

[left maple]

besides most of the countries were formed on this planet via acts we all would define as terrorism to begin with, look at the USA for example - did we freely trade the native american land?

[manic ravine]

can you not

thanks

[mortal drift]

Heh, ok thats pretty cook

Someone named themselves interface Nº 16

[left maple]

If you ever visit a pirate space station , you'll notice virtually all races in the game there

[manic ravine]

I just like to blow up ships, i help the pirates sometimes

sometimes i help the civilians

it switches on and off

[drifting scroll]

god i neet stuff

[mortal drift]

The fuck are you on about

[manic ravine]

yea

[drifting scroll]

is it weird that my corvette is the most nimble vehicle i have

[manic ravine]

yes

which one

[drifting scroll]

the big one

[manic ravine]

oh

[drifting scroll]

the THINGYMAJIG

[manic ravine]

does it have upgrades

please tell me it has x ones

[drifting scroll]

x?

[manic ravine]

x class

[drifting scroll]

i can put em on

i just dont know what they are used for

[manic ravine]

x class is the best in the game and the worst, its random

the stats for opening those are completely randomized

[left maple]

add like four warp addons on it it will go practically everywhere with the ? drive

[drifting scroll]

well well well

gambling

[open lantern]

potentially

[manic ravine]

yeah

[drifting scroll]

how do i get more x parts

[manic ravine]

go to pirate station

[mortal drift]

Get to pirates

[manic ravine]

systems usually have a skull on them

[drifting scroll]

ah ok

i know i know

i burnt 112 dreadnoughts to the ground

[manic ravine]

awesome

but not awesome, i spare them

their ship nor money is not worth it to me

[drifting scroll]

pacifist

[manic ravine]

i spare them because , they need that 6 million credits more then i do

[left maple]

you get special ones during expidtions however you can only take back one starship and one tool usually from them that would contain them

[open lantern]

none'y'all saved me a bug to name.

[manic ravine]

if anything, id offer that pirate captain , some upgrades if he promises to never attack people again

[drifting scroll]

what and what

[drifting scroll]

i would grill him in the warp drive exhaust

[manic ravine]

and you call me evil

jesus

[drifting scroll]

i may be a little devious

but my cheesecake factory needs to be used once in a while

[open lantern]

ah just evvery little thing is scanned and named for the mission

[manic ravine]

i do good and evil in the game at a whim

when i feel like sparing npcs, i let them go

even tho i could vaporize instantly

[open lantern]

get it instantly ... da,dah,daum

[manic ravine]

chaotic neutral

[drifting scroll]

i shoot stranded npc ships because it costs too much to repair them

[umbral sequoia]

For the PC Steam version your save files should be located in C:\Users\Username\AppData\Roaming\HelloGames\NMS and you can back up the NMS folder located there.

[drifting scroll]

how rare are travellers?

[open lantern]

I bait creatures to hunt them. and i didnt know you could eliminate those ships.

[drifting scroll]

you can shoot em and they go boom

the npc also still just stands there

so you can explode their ship and feed them to the creatures

[open lantern]

i wanty to hunt gek but they seem to be in control of the expedition i am on

[drifting scroll]

sad

[open lantern]

the game makes it a non-starter

but doesn

mean i wouldnt

not sure why they irratate me so

maybe its that deep frued thing that i was to be one... but ew i doubt it

[drifting scroll]

yoo earth

[narrow vigil]

"Warning. Incoming storm"

opens galaxy map

[drifting scroll]

sounds like florida

[tulip oar]

good morning

[drifting scroll]

@manic ravine is this ship better then the dreadnaught?

[narrow vigil]

Freighters are basically the same across any class or visual type. Really just pick one that you like the looks of

[drifting scroll]

here si the comparison

[narrow vigil]

That's crazy slots for a starter B class

I'd get it

Nice find. Others would want that. Should save the portal address of the sytem

[tulip oar]

meow meow

[narrow vigil]

https://nmsportals.github.io/ this site will allow you to translate portal codes to an alphanumerical format for easier sharing

[open lantern]

mornn art3

[umbral sequoia]

Definitely don't trade S for B. Slots don't really matter because you can upgrade the S to 120+60. B class has worse stats and can't have that many slots.

[narrow vigil]

Doing away with a lot of grind for that many slots.

And for people who can't play much it's a very hard grind

[umbral sequoia]

It's really not that bad. You just need a solid farm to automate resources for stuff to sell and then you can buy the devices to locate derelict freighters. Once you can afford a bunch of those you just got to find a system with an easy derelict to speedrun and you can zip through it in no time. You can max out your freighter in a few hours and you can get tons of tainted metal too which is good to take into expeditions for nanites to import your ship and MT.

[white bluff]

Craggy

[mortal drift]

Holy shit, this is unprecedented

Surplus from my second settlement

[narrow vigil]

As soon as you mention setting up farms and speed running certain things you lose the average player. Like as soon as we mention offsetting and rotational Corvette building a bunch of people just check out. They're not into that deep level of completion or min/maxing.

For those of us who are into that that's what we do. But we are the niche minority of completionists.

[mortal drift]

Id argue offsetting isnt min/maxing unless its asthetics maxing

Which is a funny thing that probably exists

[narrow vigil]

It isn't even really glitch building. But enough people over the years have completely turned away from any manipulating methods for Base building that it's just one more of the things they don't want to learn.

Compare the millions of people who have played the game to the number of views on YouTube videos detailing these methods over the years. Such a small percent of players

[mortal drift]

All i know is

Nuffin .,.

[hybrid sierra]

[mortal drift]

Man

If i were green i would die.. x3

[drifting scroll]

i mean the things to use glyphs

[mortal drift]

Oh the portal?

[drifting scroll]

it doesnt let me use them

[mortal drift]

O h

You dont use em there

[drifting scroll]

i know

im trying to pick up more glyphs

[mortal drift]

Oh

Place down a save, save, reload

Its probably glitched out

[drifting scroll]

still wont let me

[mortal drift]

Uuuuhm

Give up and die?

[left maple]

if you are in quest to get the glyphs try keep jumping black holes, or get more coord from guy in anomaly

Go in your ship

Go over water

shoot the water

Oh ffs fpreal?

Lazers do not go thru water like this

Thank you for that tip 220 hours in.

I knew you could shoot stuff on land but not under water

Yeah i just learned that 450 hours in a few days ago

[soft inlet]

Ok so im on water planet blasting water but nothing in there?

Too deep?

[tulip oar]

hover over each mineral and plant and see what has cytophosphate in it and what doesn't

[soft inlet]

Yeah i get that but i do not know which planet i harvested off the mineral

[tulip oar]

any planet with water

[soft inlet]

So theres only 2 so far with water the first one is too deep for me to get down to. The second has no underwater plant life? Only carbon and oxygen plants

[next nimbus]

I could swear these frigates either bring back the hot dog canisters or the ducting joint

[dreamy kayak]

ok now the continuation

[soft inlet]

Am on expedition

[final zephyr]

hi ar2mis

[tulip oar]

hi

aercian

[next nimbus]

are there any biomes / planets without sentinels?

[soft inlet]

Also wtf is all this polished stone for?

[next nimbus]

upgrading settlement facilities

that's the only use I've found

[tulip oar]

you can build the ruins base items with it

[soft inlet]

Ahhh okay so take it back from exp for settlement

[next nimbus]

I don't have the blueprints

[tulip oar]

probably at the anomaly

[next nimbus]

I assumed you meant the main types of materials: timber (carbon), stone (silicate), alloy (ferrite), salvage (atlantidium)

[tulip oar]

I mean polished stone

[next nimbus]

no by ruins base items

[tulip oar]

I did not mean those, no

and I just remembered, they are not at the anomaly. You find them by interacting with those weird ruin thingies on ruins planets

I don't remember what they're called

[next nimbus]

lol, ok, thanks

[tulip oar]

They give you the blueprints

[next nimbus]

I've not actually explored a ruins planet.

[tulip oar]

i forgor

[white bluff]

what's the weekend QS mission?

[manic ravine]

i went to the center of galaxy instead of try to find the begining area of the expedition

since going thru that takes you back anyway

[next nimbus]

as long as you had fun

[manic ravine]

its where i needed to be because my friend would bitch about me starting the expedition first

[dreamy kayak]

ok here's my finished nms hub island house

just have to interior decorate

[manic ravine]

hed be like "why'd you start without me :("

so i had to go back to first planet

if he asks me where i got all my shit back so fast, im gonna say i edited it in, but in reality i was all over the galaxy past few days

[next nimbus]

I wonder how hard the Legend milestone will be by the end of the expedition

[soft inlet]

Okay heres a problem

Im late to expedition so what i cant rename anything ?

[manic ravine]

i diddn't just get "all my shit" i added my old frieghter and frigates and all my ships , all my multitools, they are all backed up anyway , but i just wanted them to be all in this too

[soft inlet]

Everything i scan has the little edit box greyed out

[manic ravine]

just cus

you start out without a frieghter in this one

but i was like, imma just go and get a normal one, edit my normal save one into the exp, and just go with that

if you ask me "why" i'll just say, cus

[next nimbus]

Someone else found it before you did

[manic ravine]

cus i did

i know i dont need all of my ships from my main save, but just wanted variety

plus all them backed up anyway

[soft inlet]

Yeah everyone else found and renamed everything before i started the exp tho?

[manic ravine]

using only 1 ship is boring

[soft inlet]

So is it just im too late to do that phase?

[naive mist]

Collect indium

[manic ravine]

i am not doing the milestones in order it seems

[next nimbus]

I found exactly one thing someone didn't already find

[white bluff]

hm

[manic ravine]

the reason i went to galactic core is because i got lost

[soft inlet]

F

Lol

[next nimbus]

try looking into minerals. People tend not to scan minerals

[narrow vigil]

You're probably going to have to go a few systems away from the expedition area to find things that have not been scanned yet

[manic ravine]

knew it takes you to start of exp

yall knew that galaxy core takes you to begining of exp?

but your progress isnt reset

[narrow vigil]

Similar to having to discover undiscovered systems last expedition. Some people have to go far out for that.

[soft inlet]

Oh man that seema obvious... rather then following the green line free look to somewhere else! Thanks!

[manic ravine]

i like how HG put enough foresight into people going to galaxy core that they made it so that it just warps you back to start

[narrow vigil]

Whenever this comes up and you need to find undiscovered stuff in an expedition area your best bet is to go down on the Galaxy map. Everybody seems to go up or to the sides. Down is usually less explored

[manic ravine]

imagine how pissed off a normal player woudl be

knowing they spend days getting there

[soft inlet]

Sounds good!

[solar totem]

It isn't Elite:D levels of "this took ages", but yeah still lol

[manic ravine]

right, but many in the expedition do not bother with upgrading hyperdrive to its maximum

or do not use the ship they brought with them

so it would take a long time with a hyperdrive range of a measly few hundred

[next nimbus]

This is why I'm curious how hard that milestone will be and how many people will complain about it in about a week

[manic ravine]

even a thousand is pocket change

and not sufficient to get to galaxy core in just an few hours

it needs to be 10,000 minimum

or it will take a very long while

with a high enough hyperdrive range, the path to galactic core is pointless, you can just go in a straight line towards the bright light

so i don't know how or why they added a "pathway"

galaxy core is that bright light you see

head that way , its easy

[solar totem]

Pretty sure it's a spiralling loop of some sort

From memory

[manic ravine]

nah it aint

just go straight

[solar totem]

The pathway it gives you I mean

[next nimbus]

If I hire a different overseer, will they have the same personality as the one I let go?

[manic ravine]

yeah the pathway is dumb

how do somebody not know where core is, its the brightest object in the warp map

only use the guide when at the very edge

which is about 3,000 light years from core

did i mess up my expedition if the warp map was not telling me where i was at

like, only showing a rendevus point 2

and not anything before or after

im not even really doing the expedition for rewards, just being able to go to a new place and bring all my shit and not have to delete the persistent player bases one by one again is cool

already got the rewards

[next nimbus]

Too bad, wasn't fond of that creature's personality

[manic ravine]

why is it optional for somebody who already has the expedition rewards to go into it again?

me? i love it because theres so many other players around

[next nimbus]

If I switch out the scientist, will I have to ||reboot|| them like I did the other one?

[soft inlet]

Lol

Poor scientist

[next nimbus]

is it dumb to want to switch out my pirate dreadnought to get one with Korvax that have a different shaped head?

[manic ravine]

no

[elfin field]

Imagine getting fired because you had a incorrectly shaped head lol

[soft inlet]

Lol

[narrow vigil]

It's a harsh galaxy.

[mortal drift]

Eugenics

[elfin field]

Real

[soft inlet]

That is some bill gates energy

[manic ravine]

why are the lowest ranking geks the best looking

but the highest ranking have multiple eyes

[narrow vigil]

Toil gek = hawt gek?

Toil hard....go hard

[manic ravine]

toil gek least absurd looking]

[soft inlet]

How do i get a new damn ship in expedition

This hauler blows

[mortal drift]

You dont

[narrow vigil]

Buy one of find a crashed one

[manic ravine]

hes bs you

[narrow vigil]

Or copy yours from main save

[soft inlet]

So i did find a crashed sentinal but couldnt interact
