[stable badge]

Yeah exactly

[keen ginkgo]

Sometimes even experienced players havent encountered what I've found

[minor willow]

Bruh the moment we figured out you’re talking frigate expeditions we helped ya, no?

[keen ginkgo]

No, you started a settlement, then returned months later

Debt constantly climbs

[terse mango]

no

no

[keen ginkgo]

Wh

[terse mango]

it was new on a new save

[keen ginkgo]

Nevermind I do not comprehend

[stable badge]

Yeah but I kinda feel stupid summoning my frigate to do this 🤣

[keen ginkgo]

100 million would take actual months to clear

[minor willow]

Nah, few more hours ingame and you’ll be helping others

[terse mango]

it cleared a few weeks ago

[cerulean cliff]

Like trading for more than one corvette part

[terse mango]

its now 800k over 400k

[minor willow]

Sorry what

You can trade for more than one part?

SORRY WHAT

[stable badge]

Can you bump into other players on expeditions?

[cerulean cliff]

Yes you can use e and q to raise and lower the number you want when selected before you hold to confirm that part is what you want

[minor willow]

Absolutely plenty of them

[minor willow]

Thanks

[stable badge]

I have it turned off because it was causing crashing in the Anomaly

[cerulean cliff]

Aurix had this exact reaction when I told him lmao

[stable badge]

Switch 2 version can't handle too many other players for some reason

[cerulean cliff]

I just turn MP off and do my thing

Finished the expedition in a few hours worth of time lol

[minor willow]

I keep pvp and mp on

[cerulean cliff]

I’m not a masochist

[minor willow]

On my permadeath save

[stable badge]

Considering this is my first one, I really don't want to deal with crashing

[minor willow]

No less

[stable badge]

How do you avoid not getting killed by a random troll?

[cerulean cliff]

There isnt much time left for titan so you gotta move quickly

[minor willow]

PD server is separate

[cerulean cliff]

Turn pvp off

[minor willow]

And mostly no trolls

[stable badge]

I wasn't even aware of it or I would have done it sooner

[minor willow]

Nah getting killed is part of the fun

[stable badge]

Nah I gotta have mp off too or the game will crash 🤪

[spiral pivot]

How does our oxygen run out in water and on planet but is unlimited in space

[stable badge]

Could be an anomaly issue too. Could be too many players in a relatively small space. Maybe it would be better spread out. I'll try it and see what happens

[minor willow]

There’s pins in #nms-expedition for current expedition if you decide to tackle it

I think it’s until 2.12

[stable badge]

This starship in this expedition is not mine

[minor willow]

No expedition is basically a “new” game

[stable badge]

Ya I'm doing it now. If that's the case, I can just wait until it starts again

[stable badge]

Wait what???

[minor willow]

Your old game is fine

[cerulean cliff]

Your main stuff is kept

You just get a separate character

[stable badge]

Oh ya I panicked for a sec

[minor willow]

You can switch back when you reach the anomaly

[cerulean cliff]

For the expedition

[minor willow]

Or when expedition ends

[cerulean cliff]

You can move stuff from main to the expedition and when you’re done move it back plus extra if you want

[minor willow]

Also nanites and units are transferred

[stable badge]

There is a "return to primary save" option. I'm guessing that just gets me out of this

[cerulean cliff]

Yes

[minor willow]

Yes and you can go back to expedition via same route

I think

Anomaly

[cerulean cliff]

That’s mostly what I want the next expedition for lol. Need a big nanite injection so I can upgrade my corvette and interceptors to S

[minor willow]

smuggle pirate shit

[empty trench]

time to hunt for an exotic ship again

[minor willow]

Heheh

[empty trench]

apparently trading posts are a sgood spot to find exotic ships

[minor willow]

I haven’t found a single royal ship on my PD save

I have like five on my normal save

[empty trench]

@tulip oar you must have been busy last time i asked so im sorry for asking again. could you tell me about the IEA?

[tulip oar]

It's a group I run, you can find it in #1418605454300549120

[empty trench]

oh meat

neat

[plush shard]

Do you know what that sound is, Traveller? Those are the Shrieking Oysters — if you don't believe me, just wait. They always grow louder when they're about to feed on Traveller Exosuits

[empty trench]

give me a moment to come up with lore when i'm less distracted

[proper otter]

I'm inclined to join that community, sounds fun, I'm fairly new

[keen ginkgo]

No that one is extremely unclear and barely known

[tulip oar]

[empty trench]

i'm in vy'keen space but 3 explorers landed so far

[umbral tiger]

The name of my settlement's oldest citizen:

[narrow vigil]

WOOOOOOLOOLOOOLOOOLOOOO

[timid bough]

lol

[empty trench]

i don't think exotic ships exist in my save

[narrow vigil]

Exotic ships are a joke we tell new players about. They aren't real

All those pictures are AI

[cerulean cliff]

Idk, Gleam knew about it

[timid bough]

will the new update go to the nintendo switch version of nms?

[cerulean cliff]

[cerulean cliff]

1 or 2?

[narrow vigil]

2? Likely

1? Nah. Just nah

[timid bough]

the update that ads corvete class ships

[keen ginkgo]

The best way to find things in this game is to not look for them specifically

[cerulean cliff]

I don’t think switch 1 can handle corvettes lol

[narrow vigil]

You only find what you are looking for when you stop looking for it

[cerulean cliff]

Both of my exotic ships just randomly showed up nearby

[keen ginkgo]

It may not matter, it seems like nintendo doesnt want it to be updated anyway

[narrow vigil]

Go find some small blobs. You'll see an exotic fly overhead before long

[timid bough]

oh ok thank you

[narrow vigil]

So true. Why would they? They need to push 2s

[timid bough]

thats just rude

what happend to nintendo

[keen ginkgo]

There hasn't been any clear news on whether switch 1 nms will keep getting updates

[narrow vigil]

I remember back in in the day when EA one of the top companies you could rely on to give you the best single player game on the market.

They go south eventually

They all do

[keen ginkgo]

And, "coincidentally," nintendo has been making moves to end support for the switch 1

[narrow vigil]

Yep

[cerulean cliff]

Idk BF6 is doing phenomenal

[narrow vigil]

They're not being as soft as the other platforms on extending support for last gen

[keen ginkgo]

Were they ever?

[cerulean cliff]

The single player was bad it seems but the game overall is good

[narrow vigil]

They couldn't ignore a massive hit like battlefield. They can ignore no man's sky

Less backlash

[cerulean cliff]

Don’t even get me started on the BO7 campaign

[keen ginkgo]

I mean, nms is also a massive hit, but not as much as battlefield

[cerulean cliff]

Haven’t played it but I hear they have RE style bosses

[timid bough]

when worlds part 2 came out i got a notification from hello games saying they would continue support on the switch 1

[keen ginkgo]

But with new players being drawn in by the corvette update, profit motive says to make such a feature available for the newer console so consumers must purchase the new console as well

[keen ginkgo]

Its entirely possible that is still their intention, but if nintendo is trying to retire the switch 1, they probably wont want its software being supported afterwards

[timid bough]

welp, thats just awsome isnt it

[keen ginkgo]

For a bit I was thinking about getting a switch 2, but I dont really feel like doing so

[narrow vigil]

It is if you're an investor

[slender pagoda]

What do you all think the next update going to be

[wise ravine]

hopefully walkers no longer spawning underground, thats what

[empty trench]

can you scrap ships is pirate stations

[slender pagoda]

I hope we get a new terrain generation update with new biomes and grass overhaul ngl

and meteor landing and mining in space

Cool stuff ngl

[halcyon tide]

we js got a terrain gen update

[spiral pivot]

Worlds part 2

[keen ginkgo]

Yes

[stable badge]

Found a creature that looked like a straight up soccer ball. Guess what I named it 🤪

[keen ginkgo]

Even abandoned stations

[halcyon tide]

tennis ball?

[stable badge]

Soccer ball

[halcyon tide]

damn

didn't see that coming

[stable badge]

🤣

[keen ginkgo]

Just wait until you find a ball python

[stable badge]

That doesn't make sense lol

[keen ginkgo]

It will after you find one

[halcyon tide]

trust

[quartz peak]

can you have more than 1 stellar extractor in a freighteR?

[keen ginkgo]

Yes

[empty trench]

now i'm waiting in an outlaw system

[keen ginkgo]

You can have as many of a room in a freighter as there is space and you have the resources

I built 60 refiners on mine at one point

[quartz peak]

i guess the rate at which it generates resources isnt worth it to build much of right?

[dreamy kayak]

its an opinionated topic

I personally think its a waste

[keen ginkgo]

I see it more the other way around

[empty trench]

i can never find what i'm looking for

[keen ginkgo]

You have to build a bunch of it to make it worthwhile

Same reasoning for why I meant to build 50 refiner rooms

[empty trench]

there's a lot of solar ships in this system

[quartz peak]

do you have to go to each one to pull stuff out? or do they merge everything and dump it into your storage?

[keen ginkgo]

Yeah its a pirate system

[dreamy kayak]

pirate system?

[keen ginkgo]

Not sure, I havent tried having more than one

[slender pagoda]

Is that confirmed

[quartz peak]

ok cool

ill put in 2

[slender pagoda]

It aint that good, imagine terrain generation like miencraft's and cave systems like it too

[keen ginkgo]

It came out a few months ago

[slender pagoda]

oh right world 2

I forgot about it

[halcyon tide]

yeah WP2 was insane

we got entire ocean planets
gas giants
a bunch of new terrain

i think gas giants came later tho

[keen ginkgo]

What it didn't do was overwrite the generation of existing planets

[white bluff]

Ok - spent 2 hours researching and comparing AA methods and I've settled on DLAA (did not know NMS even had this as a setting) over TAA. It imposes a fps hit, but I've now got headroom on the GPU.

My eyes are sore.

[slender pagoda]

You mean overwrite the generation of non-discovered planets?

[keen ginkgo]

I think it may have kinda done that

Its hard to say

[slender pagoda]

I just wish they overhault the LoD and grass render distance

[keen ginkgo]

How do you know what an undiscovered planet would look like if it wasnt discovered before worlds 2?

[white bluff]

(DLAA = DLSS but starting at native screen resolution -- not a lowered resolution, so it does not improve fps performance - that takes a hit)

[slender pagoda]

With more dynamic weather and post processing

[white bluff]

Would be nice if the pop-in happened further out depending on settings / GPU. Definitely.

It does

Technically

[slender pagoda]

Wouldnt it be noticeable between the old generation adn the new one

[empty trench]

my favorite thing about the weather is that in photo mode you can see the entire storm is just focused around you

[slender pagoda]

Or is there no big changes in the generation system

[white bluff]

Well, right -- I mean further still. I'm running all settings Ultra and I'd like the pop-in to be more distant still.

[slender pagoda]

Ngl weather needs some improvement, biomes need to have its overhault and caves

[keen ginkgo]

There are, but even in purple systems some planets can look like the previous terrain generation

[slender pagoda]

So what did World Part II introduce

[empty trench]

https://www.nomanssky.com/worlds-part-ii-update/ here's the official announcement

[white bluff]

Most notable, the purple systems. Also, it moved a lot of the geometry off of the CPU and onto the GPU.

[slender pagoda]

Oh so not much todo with actual terrain generation

[keen ginkgo]

Well, to start, purple star systems, gas giants, ocean planets, new questline, overhauled terrain generation without overwriting planets (mostly), and iirc added a new planet to already generated systems so it would have the new generation

[slender pagoda]

Have you ever played Still Life on minecraft?

[keen ginkgo]

Still life... cant say I have

Is it a modpack that focuses primarily on visuals?

[white bluff]

Purple systems have wilder terrain for sure -- or at least the can have. Terrain gen changed definitely in purple systems mostly. Subtle shadowing and such improved for all biomes in all systems, but the new wilder terrain is purple systems only.

[tulip oar]

good morning

[keen ginkgo]

And the added planets in other systems

[spiral pivot]

Biomes were overhauled in next, visions, Orgins and worlds part 1 & 2

[slender pagoda]

Search some images of it on google, I just wish they introduce that type of terrain generation to No Man's Sky

It owuld be dreamy

[white bluff]

What do you mean, specifically?

[slender pagoda]

sad..

[keen ginkgo]

In either worlds part 1 or 2, generated star systems had another planet added to them

[slender pagoda]

Tbh it would be cool being able to explore stars next lel

[dreamy kayak]

what was the name of the ai image channel on here?

i can't find it

[keen ginkgo]

What, the surface of them?

[white bluff]

Still not quite sure what you mean... Can you rephrase?

[dreamy kayak]

annd i dont remember what its called

[slender pagoda]

Yeah

Introduce SUN EXPLORATION 💀

[spiral pivot]

Theyre scared of new terrain wrecking people's bases. So the compromise was new star systems

[white bluff]

Have a look at some of the crazy terrain in early, pre-NEXT No Man's Sky - this gallery is from 2016/2017:
https://www.flickr.com/photos/blakespot/albums/72157677126635937

[slender pagoda]

Why not simply leave all discovered systems unchanged, while having all non-discovered systems adapt the new terrain

They defo have the discovered systems on

Data store

So it is doable

[dreamy kayak]

that would probably be way harder

and its already weird seeing things form earlier patches remain

and its obviously not as good of graphics

[slender pagoda]

Woah..

[dreamy kayak]

like pirate stations are now old compared to regular stations

[slender pagoda]

How so

[white bluff]

Are you saying existing systems (non purple) gained an additional world? Like, if it had x number of planets, it now has x+1? I've never noticed or heard this stated.

[slender pagoda]

I wish they actually look into this at least

[spiral pivot]

Origins added a new planet every system. I don't think worlds did

[slender pagoda]

It would be truly fun

[keen ginkgo]

This seems to indicate it

[white bluff]

I don't recall hearing any update having done this - and that surprises me. I pay pretty close attention.

[keen ginkgo]

Trying to find something more specific though

[tulip oar]

"These new worlds are yours to explore. Except Europa"

[white bluff]

What update is that from?

[keen ginkgo]

Worlds part 2

[white bluff]

I shall attempt no landing there.

[blazing wraith]

Actually, the original release allowed for a minimum of a single planet (from 1 to 6 bodies possible), but an earlier release before Worlds Part 1 increased the minimum to 2 (then 2 to 6 planetary bodies). That release (Origins) was the one that added volcanoes and much more.

[tulip oar]

👍

[keen ginkgo]

Ok that one I likely confused a bit, but there are definitely planets with new generation in systems other than purple

[white bluff]

Are you certain about this? I have never - not once ever - seen a system with less than 2 worlds, and I kept my eye out for them for the first year or so until I heard it discussed that indeed two was the minimum. Was this maybe the v1.0 release that was changed on day 1 in v1.03 to 2 planets min?

[blazing wraith]

Yup, I recorded spreadsheets for planetary discoveries prior to Origins. Had many single planet systems.

[white bluff]

I was looking, but I never encountered one.

Never.

[white bluff]

And launch to Origins was a pretty long time.

[blazing wraith]

When Origins came out, I revisited some of the formerly single-planet systems, and as I recall all the new planets were new planet types added in Origins. Mind you, I did not revist all the single planet systems I had on record.

[white bluff]

I missed the detail it seems that new worlds were added to existing systems in Worlds part II.

[keen ginkgo]

Well, maybe some worlds were rerolled? I havent found anything specific on how the new varieties of things were implemented

[white bluff]

I am playing v1.0, 1.1, 1.2, 1.3 here and there alongside current release. These are all pre-Origins by far. So I should be able to find some single world systems within, you are telling me.

[spiral pivot]

Some of my tropical bases turned into jungles

[keen ginkgo]

Theres a difference between tropical and jungle?

[blazing wraith]

@white bluff I did notice that single planet systems seemed rare... So NMS was not using a 1d6 to roll the number. If anything, 6 planet systems seemed more common than expected, but I don't know the actual chance for each system for the planetary body count (given that anything more than 2 was the minimum needed for a chance of a moon). 1-planet 1-moon systems were not terribly rare either, more common than 1-planet systems.

[spiral pivot]

Jungles have these trees

[white bluff]

Dammit my gek pilot is drunk off his ass again....

[keen ginkgo]

Jungles can have a variety of trees, apparently

[white bluff]

Some shots in my "keepers" folder of the new Jungle worlds

[blazing wraith]

@white bluff I should be able to dig out that very old Google sheet, I expect. I stopped recording sometime before 2020 as I recall (when I started making more saves: I was working with my second ever save file from 2016 to 2020 while recording these things, and when Origins tossed the recorded stats out I revisited a handful of systems to record the new planetary numbers and types to update the spreadsheet until I gave up recording thereafter.)
One earlier change kind of disheartened me when my first ever planet (named after my mother) went from being a paradise to a hot hellhole, but that was actually preOrigins as I recall.

[spiral pivot]

I have yet to find a yellow one!!! Nice photos

[white bluff]

Well, I believe you about those early systems. I just never found one or somehow never noticed when I did.

[tulip oar]

so pretty

[keen ginkgo]

I didnt have time to, I only started playing in 2019, and rarely traveled far from my spawn system back then

[empty trench]

waiting in space stations is engaging gameplay

but i also have 44 storage augmentations

so six of hone half a dozen of the other

[keen ginkgo]

I remember warping into a system using my freighter not too long ago, and when I went through the hangar I found an exotic that had just landed

[empty trench]

a lot of solar ships that are looking pretty nice though

[blazing wraith]

@white bluff I really should have collated the statitistics about how common each planetary type (1p, 1p1m, 2p, 1p2m, 3p, 2p1m, etc.) were. I don't actually recall any 1-planet 2-moon offhand, but they should be in the mix based on what else I found. (I did notice when I found a 2-planet 4-moon system, the maximum moon number possible, both before or after Origins)

[empty trench]

they should make systems that are entirely dwarf planets

[white bluff]

Ouch. Yea, NEXT 1.5 did the massive complete reset and huge terrain generation change with set biomes, etc. that we OG's remember. But, Atlas Rises did a bit of a reset, too. Here is my base (could only have one at a time back then, still!) that went from water and grass to a searing hellscape when Atlas Rises 1.3 landed.

[blazing wraith]

They do! It is just a question of RNG. (They will be rarer than average though.)

[keen ginkgo]

Ive seen at least one 1p2m system recently

When I feel like searching for giant planets, those systems throw me off

[empty trench]

they should make planets entirely made out of meat

[white bluff]

Hah, I kinda miss spending hours flying slowly over the surface, looking for the most ideally located pre-fab starter base room I could find. Ahh, good times.

stares off into the distance

[white bluff]

With oceans of gek milk.

[keen ginkgo]

Did they used to be more common?

[blazing wraith]

Yah... I went through my oldest save several times and "rescued" old bases. I had gone through several minimum base standards (I'm up to Version 7 or 8 now 😉 ), and at one point had a lot of cave bases. A new release changed cave mouths a lot and that required some maintenance/repositioning.

[zealous wadi]

A planet made of meat. Like a really big living ship?

[keen ginkgo]

Living ships arent made of just meat

[empty trench]

sure

[blazing wraith]

Hmm, come to think of it, I need to go through after Worlds Part 1 and Worlds Part 2 and see how the 399 bases have done 🤣

[white bluff]

I've got only maybe 40 - 50 bases.

On my day 1 save (which is my current save).

Well no, I played on PS4 for 4-5 weeks before building a PC for it. So not quite day 1.

[keen ginkgo]

Wish I still had my first base

Tried doing a "complete fresh start" in my first save and never really managed to do so

[white bluff]

Here is a photo of my first base, the day Foundation v1.1 landed in late 2016. This was the most complex it got before I moved on.

Very much absent is the HBAO

[slender pagoda]

Is that the current update

[keen ginkgo]

Nooooooooo

[white bluff]

Hah, no.

[slender pagoda]

Oh i just saw

[tulip oar]

dang, that ui is old

[slender pagoda]

2016

[heady laurel]

Day 2 of asking Hello Games to please give us a second chance at obtaining the Starborn Phoenix DLC on Steam.

[slender pagoda]

Ngl the game didnt change much

They still need to improve lighting

And shadows

[slender pagoda]

hehe i have it

[keen ginkgo]

Ok so, they did do that. It feels like every major update has improvements to lighting and shadows

[tulip oar]

indeed

[white bluff]

Lighting and shadows have been improved several times over the course of all the updates since then, of course. But - things can always get better, I suppose.

[keen ginkgo]

A far more important priority exists anyway

MAKE FLAGS PROPERLY COLORABLE AGAIN

[white bluff]

Interestingly if you watch a shadow crawl across the ground (as the sun moves in the sky) you will note it is very, very smooth in the earliest releases, and in current it does so in steps - not so smooth. I assume that was a change in the name of performance - prob when NEXT landed in 2018.

[keen ginkgo]

Why on any world would I want to change the color of the flagpole but not the actual flag?

[keen ginkgo]

Oh for shadows it seems to vary based on things like distance

[white bluff]

I am not going crazy then. We can't change the flag color anymore right? It's been quite a while since I was able to do it.

[keen ginkgo]

I think shadows of things nearby move smoothly, but for further (and usually larger) things the shadows jump

[keen ginkgo]

Yes

Every so often I get reminded of that time where player communities picked a flag and color set to mark themselves and I wanna do that

[white bluff]

And, sadly, no longer can we change the color of the pillows. ----errr, cement bags.

[brittle gorge]

So, do we have like.. .neon club signs to put up for decos?

[white bluff]

Glad we can still change base computer (and its icon) color -- so rarely do I encounter anyone else that does it. I make every base comp yellow, so it's easy to find on worlds with many bases.

[keen ginkgo]

I usually choose the color Im going for with a theme, or the purpose of the base

[empty trench]

i think exotic ships are a scam to keep people in space stations

[brittle gorge]

Pft xD

[keen ginkgo]

Haven't made a portal base yet, but id make the base computer purple

[keen ginkgo]

Tbh stations feel like terrible places to look for ships

I usually see way more at planetary trade outposts

[white bluff]

Here's one such "neon sign" someone used to make a wave motion canon or some such on their corvette (the blue rings)

[brittle gorge]

Huh... clever, I'll have to look around lol

[silver night]

Spawn a capital ship like this, and you'll have traffic 🙂

[empty trench]

it's too bad you can't build freighters

[tulip oar]

build big corvette

done

boom

shabang

[empty trench]

well i guess you kind of can with corvettes yeah

[tulip oar]

[empty trench]

screw it i'm going to check on my freighter

[white bluff]

You can't see it well in the light, but here's another such sign, above and to the left of my player. Above my left shrimp bouncer lad, coming out of the wall above it.

[keen ginkgo]

I feel like that would cost so much

[brittle gorge]

Oh yeah, that'd be perfect.

[brittle gorge]

I've seen folks into the trillions of units and 100k's of Nanites. Cost wouldn't be an issue lol

[keen ginkgo]

You cant get into trillions

Only 4.2 billion iirc

[cerulean cliff]

Why 4.2 billion though

[empty trench]

who thinks magnetic iron is a good form of payment

[cerulean cliff]

It seems like a game where you’d want a higher cap

[white bluff]

He just livin'.

And then he turns to stare @tulip oar in the eyes.

[keen ginkgo]

Name a single thing youve seen cost more than a few hundred million to buy

[tulip oar]

[empty trench]

on of my fleets has 9 minutes left

[keen ginkgo]

Magnetic what?

[tough grotto]

How do you put landing pads on a corvette?

[keen ginkgo]

Ohhh ferrite

[cerulean cliff]

I just mean in general. Not at a things can cost a lot, but in a number go up hehe kind of way.

4.2b seems kinda low

[keen ginkgo]

Integer limit stuff

[cerulean cliff]

Sounds like laziness lol

[normal prairie]

Im brand new basically, does anyone know if there's a way to find a claimed ship? But like it isn't my primary ship, and I can't summon it due to it being shit broken

[cerulean cliff]

Most other space games go higher than that

[normal prairie]

All I know is it's on the moon I'm on

[keen ginkgo]

Probably because they use a different bit integer limit

[empty trench]

i just got a living starship upgrade but i don't have a living starships

[cerulean cliff]

Trade it to a player if it’s good

[keen ginkgo]

If you ever want to get a living starship, keep it

[keen ginkgo]

NO

If its the egg thing keep it in egg form

[cerulean cliff]

If he doesn’t want a living ship it’s a waste lol

Well that’s different

[keen ginkgo]

What the results can be is based on the tech you have already

[white bluff]

I have like 15 eggs in my storage unit I've won or been given, unhatched.

[normal prairie]

Is there not a way to like set a beacon waypoint thing on a claimed ship so I can go find it?

[cerulean cliff]

If it’s a module I meant

[keen ginkgo]

Yeah

Psionic egg or whatever

[white bluff]

I mean eggs that came out the hind end of a fauna.

[keen ginkgo]

Frigate missions with organic frigates can give spawning sacs and psionic eggs as rewards

[peak garden]

bro, a 2 star industrial expedition, only 2 log entries had loot: 200,000 credits and 3 x semiconductor

that's trash

[normal prairie]

Damn

[peak garden]

ALL log entries except 2 had nothing

that is so tupid

[keen ginkgo]

The psionic eggs you hatch will be more likely to hatch into living ship versions of upgrades like launch recharge and aqua jets unless you already have those upgrades in an inventory

[keen ginkgo]

I think that can happen when a fleet encounters a situation where their skills don't help

[peak garden]

but it was industrial with 5 x industrial ships

[brittle gorge]

I still find it funny someone gave me a Void Egg, and I've got no quest to actually hatch it with

[tulip oar]

was it a regular void egg?

or was it some sort of variant of it

[brittle gorge]

It just said Void Egg, so

[cerulean cliff]

Better than sending a single ship on an expedition and it getting damaged within 5 minutes canceling the whole expedition

[keen ginkgo]

Doesnt mean they wouldnt have a different type of encounter, but really odd that it happened for most of the logs

[cerulean cliff]

[normal prairie]

If I try to summon it it says "Cannot launch - Starship Damaged"

[tulip oar]

hm interesting

[tulip oar]

gotta fix launch thrusters

[normal prairie]

How can I do that from ages away

[keen ginkgo]

As long as you dont leave the system, you can return to it

[cerulean cliff]

Can you go to your freighter and put it in the archive?

[tulip oar]

do you have a freighter

[normal prairie]

My what

[tulip oar]

i suppose not then

[cerulean cliff]

Then pull it out and it might be on the freighter

[cerulean cliff]

Big ship you can make a base on and land in lol

[normal prairie]

That's epic but no

[cerulean cliff]

Do you have other ships?

[paper ibex]

So I decided to test creative mode and try to do all the mission/speed run them and I’m stuck on the first mission. It won’t even let me progress. So I didn’t have to repair my ship whatsoever in creative mode, but I’m stuck on alone and admits the stars and it won’t even let me progress and move on.

Can someone help

[keen ginkgo]

Addendum: stupidly big ship

[normal prairie]

Yuh

[tulip oar]

what does the current objective say to do

[keen ginkgo]

Alone amidst the stars happens after the repairing ship part

[paper ibex]

So that’s the problem. In creative mode it didn’t give me the option to repair the ship. It was like it was already fixed.

[keen ginkgo]

It also happens in an expedition save that is converted to a normal kne

[peak garden]

yeah ok, that is strange

[normal prairie]

The quests are abit broken too because it thinks I have a hypeedrive but the hyperdrive is in the missing broken ship

[paper ibex]

Is my game bugs or something? Do I have to delete this and redo it again?

[keen ginkgo]

No, its not a problem, its how the quests work

Alone amidst the stars triggers when you first take off from a planet

Or sometime after

I know because I skipped the tutorial when I started my permadeath save and I didnt have to repair my ship

[peak garden]

seems kinda lame though for a 2 star mission

[paper ibex]

Yeah, I have that mission right now and it’s telling me to for one of the objectives is seek the answers in the stars. But it’s not exactly telling me what I should do exactly I used my analysis visor. Does it want me to construct a base next?

[cerulean cliff]

What kind of mission though

[keen ginkgo]

What was the star rating of the fleet?

[keen ginkgo]

Go in space and pulse

[peak garden]

max

[keen ginkgo]

5?

[paper ibex]

I did that alr. And I didn’t even get the transmission either.

[peak garden]

5

[normal prairie]

So there's no way for me to find it?

[peak garden]

i havne't sent anything below of 5 star fleet ratingin years

[keen ginkgo]

You just play the game until you get the transmission

It might even wait until youve jumped systems, I kinda forget

[paper ibex]

Alr. That’s kind of hoping in creative mode. I’ll be able to speed run the entire game. Rip.

[paper ibex]

Alr. Ty

[keen ginkgo]

Well you are

Since you dont have to gather resources

Which is the most time consuming part of progression

[paper ibex]

Yeah……. True about not having to gather resources, but expecting it to go by as quickly as it did for me when I was in custom mode.

[paper ibex]

Fr

[normal prairie]

Ai is saying in the analyse menu it should show up as a marker

But it isnt

[stable badge]

Can some solar systems not have space stations?

[keen ginkgo]

Did you leave the system after finding the crashed ship?

[brittle gorge]

Do you happen to have an idea of where these come from? I don't see the BPs at the Anomaly.

[normal prairie]

Nope

The crashed ship has the hyperdrive

Still broken

[keen ginkgo]

Your active ship?

[normal prairie]

My active ship is with me

Or

What do you mean by active

[keen ginkgo]

And you didnt jump or teleport to another system?

[normal prairie]

Nope

I went the nearest planet

That's it

[keen ginkgo]

Active is the one you see in your inventory

[paper ibex]

You were right about space jumping to another solar system. Thank you so much that actually fixed my problem and I finally got the unknown signal.

[keen ginkgo]

Yeah a lot of quest triggers happen after a system jump

[normal prairie]

That's the one that's working but doesn't have a hyperdrive

[keen ginkgo]

Ok, (idk how that happened tbh, I dont remember needing to install a hyperdrive but I almost never restart the game) you can find the crashed ship again... technically

After youve claimed it, and switched back to your other ship, the crashed ship will not have a waypoint marker

[normal prairie]

Yup

[stable badge]

Can you fly into a sun? 🤣

[keen ginkgo]

Also the answer to this question is yes

[normal prairie]

I tried placing one of those marker things you can do in analyse mode next to it but I moved it by accident

[keen ginkgo]

This one is no

[normal prairie]

If it helps I have a portable refiner next to the crashed ship

[keen ginkgo]

That wouldve worked, if it weren't for accidentally moving it, lol

[normal prairie]

TvT

[keen ginkgo]

Oh tbh that could be gone even if you find the crash site

Portable refiners seem to have a habit of vanishing occasionally when you arent close to them

[stable badge]

That explains it. Couldn't find one on the one I just found. There are only 2 planets and one moon though. Both planets are heat planets, and the moon only has one creature

[normal prairie]

Damn

[wise ravine]

broken planes will eventually appear on your freighter once you have it, no need to hound after a 1.5mil pile of junks. Theres more out there

[keen ginkgo]

You found a... forgot what the exact word is, uninhabited system iirc

[keen ginkgo]

They dont know what freighters are yet

And if I'm guessing correctly, this would be the crashed starship the main story quest leads you to

[normal prairie]

I don't think so but idk

I found it using a signal booster

[keen ginkgo]

Oh, guess not

Wait

The portable one?

[normal prairie]

I think so

[keen ginkgo]

I guess you can do that, I forget sometimes, lol

[wise ravine]

the main quest one should have a permanent marker, make sure the quest is active

[normal prairie]

There's a main quest one? Like a second one?

[halcyon tide]

all three main quests have a section in the mission log that never goes away

[wise ravine]

I had to fetch copper from far so I think theres a marker for it

[keen ginkgo]

If they already looked at the crashed starship log and claimed the ship, it wont show a marker

[normal prairie]

I kinda assumed claiming it would make it easier to find..

[keen ginkgo]

Only if you dont switch to another ship

Your compass only shows your primary/active starship

[normal prairie]

I'm kinda surprised there's no way to change it from like a menu

[keen ginkgo]

Presumably to prevent confusion

Can you craft save beacons yet?

[normal prairie]

Not yet but soon

[keen ginkgo]

Well, build, I should say

Save beacons should stack, imo. At least to 10

[empty trench]

they're basically variations of "Explore the galaxy" at the end of them

[normal prairie]

Okay so there is no way for me to practically find it?

[keen ginkgo]

Unless you happened to have memorized the rough planetary coordinates, not really

[normal prairie]

Planetary what now

[cerulean cliff]

Each planet has a portal

[keen ginkgo]

Theres numbers that show up in your visor and ship cockpit when on a planet

[normal prairie]

Didn't know that was a thing

[keen ginkgo]

No I mean the other ones

Latitude and longitude

[cerulean cliff]

Ah those ones lol

[normal prairie]

Guess I'm getting it legitimately

That's so much stufffffff

[cerulean cliff]

I mean, your best bet is to warp to different systems til you trigger a freighter battle

[stable badge]

Crazy that the game accounts for all the planets being inhospitable

[normal prairie]

I can't do that till I get the hyperdrive

[cerulean cliff]

Beating the pirates, receiving a free freighter

[normal prairie]

Which is on the crashed ship

[cerulean cliff]

Oh you don’t have a hyperdrive?

[normal prairie]

Once I get a hyperdrive I don't need the crashed ship anymore

[cerulean cliff]

I didn’t know you were that new lol

[normal prairie]

Yup

[cerulean cliff]

I thought you’d done a bit already

[normal prairie]

Fixing a hyperdrive appears to be cheaper than making one

[cerulean cliff]

You don’t see the ship icon for your ship in your hud?

[normal prairie]

That's how I've progressed the quest line even though I don't have one

A ship I claimed has one

[cerulean cliff]

I see

If you can find another ship you can use that one to get it lol

[normal prairie]

I think I'll do that

[narrow vigil]

Right To Repair intensifies

[keen ginkgo]

They switched back to their starter ship, so the icon of the crashed ship wont show anymore

[wise ravine]

getting to a station and buying a ship from npc might be a option?

[keen ginkgo]

Dude they want to repair a crashed ship's hyperdrive because its cheaper than installing a new one

[paper ibex]

Does anyone know how many Atlas stations there are?

[cerulean cliff]

If he can hyperdrive though he can get a freighter and store that one, then unstore it and it should work to get it on his freighter or maybe not idk

[keen ginkgo]

In existence?

[paper ibex]

No sorry. I meant for the Atlas path mission how many are there do you have to visit?

[keen ginkgo]

Oh, like 10 I think

[cerulean cliff]

If you’re doing the quest where you tell atlas about different planets or animals or plants that one is endless

[keen ginkgo]

But each step requires a certain milestone

[cerulean cliff]

Before that you have to earn milestones in the game

And yeah it’s 10 times

[paper ibex]

Ty

[timber haven]

Thought 16 could be wrong

[keen ginkgo]

Nah, its 10

[cerulean cliff]

One for each milestone

[timber haven]

Feels like a lot when doing the quest

[keen ginkgo]

I believe youre also free to go to atlas stations when not doing the questline

Oh I meant to ask at some point if galaxy jumping in a corvette still bricks a save

[timber haven]

I'd imagine the corvette be bricked though.

[keen ginkgo]

Yeah thats what I mean

[timber haven]

Core jumped in a sentinel ship once glad it was one headed to the scrapyard after.

[brittle gorge]

If one more Sentinel wanders into my bar/base, I'm gonna genocide the local population lol

Shoo, we're not open yet

[keen ginkgo]

Apparently your walls must be

[spiral pivot]

I wish the game let you manually fly between systems. Such a useless feature and no one would use it but I think it would be cool. I dont like how star systems still feel like a big box

[keen ginkgo]

Even at pulse speed it would take ages to fly between systems

[brittle gorge]

^

[keen ginkgo]

Not that I disagree with how cool it would be to be able to do that

[brittle gorge]

Space is BIG. We get around it with the Warp system, but note how your arrival time goes from a few seconds, to hours/days, the second you pop out of Warp

[keen ginkgo]

I really like games that let you do things like that

Theyre just really rare in space games

[blazing wraith]

As noted above, the quest only needs 10 Atlas Interfaces you must find (and you visit one more) but the total available is many many... You can always keep finding more later by asking Polo in the Nexus Anomaly, as I recall.

[brittle gorge]

Don't they each give 500 nanites a pop?

Or does that stop eventually?

[keen ginkgo]

Apparently they can reward nanites, units, atlas words, and even quicksilver

[blazing wraith]

Likewise you can ask Polo to find black holes even after you can see them yourself.

[brittle gorge]

Oooohh, Quicksilver...

[spiral pivot]

Yeah, it might be a waste a resources and not worth it but I'd like to atleast be able to attempt it.

[keen ginkgo]

The only two space games I'm aware of that allow for this is starmade and hazeron starship

Starmade is at a way smaller scale, and I havent tried hazeron yet to know what its like

[nocturne sonnet]

hello no mans sky chat 😄

[tulip oar]

good morning

[nocturne sonnet]

i got muted in a different server so it is time to bother this one 😄

[narrow vigil]

I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist's, but that's just peanuts to space.

[spiral pivot]

I only bring this up because before launch I loved the idea that the game was actually universe sized. The star was a real object, you could manually fly into real systems and the planets were spinning on an axis.

But, we got the "stupid sky boxes" as sean put it

[nocturne sonnet]

can we land on the star now

[keen ginkgo]

No

[narrow vigil]

It's always comes up with the same as planetary rotation as well

[nocturne sonnet]

dangit 😔

i wanted to burn to death 😔

[keen ginkgo]

The only space game I know of where you can land on a star is ksp

[narrow vigil]

This is a relaxed arcade flight game. Flying the ship is more like driving a car in a 3D bubble. Very little is a simulation of real world physics and measurements

What you want is more of a simulator. Like elite dangerous.

[keen ginkgo]

Newtonian physics does exist though, funnily enough

[keen ginkgo]

You cant manually fly between star systems even in elite

[brittle gorge]

EVE Online is where my brain goes for that kinda thing

[narrow vigil]

It's as far apart as Forza Motorsports in Forza horizons

[spiral pivot]

I remember someone saying the ship flying was just a camera with an overlay lmao

[narrow vigil]

Yes

[keen ginkgo]

I think it used to be? Definitely isnt anymore

[narrow vigil]

I think that's what the AI chip does. The override for your ship

Because it still feels that way without it

[keen ginkgo]

The what?

[nocturne sonnet]

we tokyo drifting in space

[narrow vigil]

Flight assist override. Or whatever gives a more realistic fight control. Forget its name

[keen ginkgo]

It isnt more realistic flight control, its less dampening on turns

[nocturne sonnet]

if i hit a tree the tree disappears 😄

[narrow vigil]

It still feels less like a car and more like an actual ship when you're using it

[spiral pivot]

Yeah, with 3rd person they changed it

[keen ginkgo]

Trailmakers has a similar concept where their space map allows for realistic spaceship movement, but it also has parts you can use to make sci-fi style spaceships

Except we cant take off those sci-fi flight parts

[nocturne sonnet]

idk why space games push so much realism

[keen ginkgo]

Only reduce their effect

[nocturne sonnet]

imagination is fun sometimes 😄

[keen ginkgo]

Nms would definitely be way less pretty if it were realistic

[spiral pivot]

Some people like that. Ive talked to star citizen players who want to like nms but cant because they like pushing all the buttons in the ship

[nocturne sonnet]

tru

[keen ginkgo]

Ooh, cant argue with that, tbh

[nocturne sonnet]

dude you dont even fly a plane like that 😔

[narrow vigil]

It's way easier to create realistic based sci-fi narratives and worlds rather than pure fantasy.

That's where the proc gen takes over

[keen ginkgo]

Since when?

[spiral pivot]

Yeah I get the feeling because I play MFS. Maybe one day hello games will add a more complex flight system to some ships

[nocturne sonnet]

rlly? 😳

[near harbor]

What weapon would yall recommend for derelict freighters?

[keen ginkgo]

Scatter blaster or pulse spitter

[near harbor]

Not aoe weapons?

[nocturne sonnet]

i thought u just do that to take off and land

[keen ginkgo]

Neutron cannon is the most effective at literally everything but those two are more fun

[tulip oar]

i use boltcaster for everything

[glacial thunder]

Damn, I just discovered that a base I made years ago, literally above the clouds, is still there. I thought it disappeared, but it seems like it came back

[keen ginkgo]

For derelicts at least

[narrow vigil]

Name the most popular sci-fi franchises. The longest running. Biggest fan bases. They're based on stories about earth. Humans. People. Us

Even when they take it to some far off place like Star Wars it's still a reflection of us and our society

[nocturne sonnet]

scatter blaster is a shotgun, pulse splitter is a machine gun

[glacial thunder]

A frigate just spawned in under my base wtf

[keen ginkgo]

Star wars isnt realistic

And all stories are a reflection of us and our society

[glacial cave]

https://www.reddit.com/r/NoMansSkyTheGame/s/AFxDpGZRdX

Stumbled upon this. Well

So shameless

Literally near straight model rip xD

[nocturne sonnet]

i remember there is a height limit of 1000u high when u place down a base computer, i wonder i that still applies

[tulip oar]

there is still a height limit

[river phoenix]

tbf it's really hard to make a sci fi movie where all the actors don't look human. If you cover them with alien prosthetics it's a lot harder to act

[glacial thunder]

I dont know how to tell how high I am, but I fell off earlier and was falling for a fat minute

[nocturne sonnet]

might be too high

[blazing wraith]

Maximum extended base range is 1000u radius from where you first place the base computer, yes. Still in effect. (Though you can move the base computer later, original point of origin is fixed until the base is totally deleted and recreated.)

[nocturne sonnet]

some things still stay the same 😄

[sharp raft]

Mitey sorry but.. minutes can now be fat?

Mitey so confused

[tulip oar]

it's an expression

[glacial thunder]

Oh bruh. I built my base computer up here. I remembered I built a base on the ground and went as high as I could, then built another base computer up there

[tulip oar]

means a long time

[sharp raft]

well then why not just say a long time? Good heaves not once has Mitey ever said "a fat minute" heh

[nocturne sonnet]

i feel like, nms is more similar to a book i read, hitchiker's guide to the galaxy

[blazing wraith]

Time flows slower while falling, Mitey: fat time... 😉

[keen ginkgo]

Bit of a different tone though, I'd say

[nocturne sonnet]

ye 😄 but i mean in terms of realisticness

[tulip oar]

realism :v

[timber haven]

For a lot of close/medium range stuff the neutron cannon is really strong especially groups.

[narrow vigil]

Realism

[nocturne sonnet]

balls

[keen ginkgo]

Theres also the other problem with realism in media

Reality is unrealistic

[sharp raft]

look just because he is not near water does not mean you should pick on Sharkhead!

[ancient parcel]

Oh my god wtf i just found the COOLEST animal

[sharp raft]

hims just lookin for fat water.. no?

[ancient parcel]

It’s literally a pokemon 😭😭😭😭😭

[nocturne sonnet]

show

[narrow vigil]

More realism

[sharp raft]

Okay water. just regular water. no fat.

[nocturne sonnet]

fat and water dont mix

[narrow vigil]

Realism overload

[ancient parcel]

I popped him in media he’a adorable

[sharp raft]

well neither do fat and time!

[blazing wraith]

Yup, that is the method to create bases in near orbit. Note that you may be able to place base parts just outside the max base range or planetary limit, but when you revisit such a base things beyond the max limits will vanish. (I had a "Station base" in near-orbit in an Uncharted system where one corner of the landing area was just outside the base range, so was nipped off next time I visited.)

[keen ginkgo]

Look, biology is a really bad example to use for whether something is realistic

[narrow vigil]

I AM THE MILK MACHINE

[nocturne sonnet]

smol thing

[ancient parcel]

Have a new fav smol boi

[narrow vigil]

Want some milk Mitey?

[timber haven]

Like the flying lava lamps?

[narrow vigil]

Ok....bad reply 😂

Didn't mean to send to you

Still....Mitey wants milk

[sharp raft]

Mitey goes to the STORE like normal gek!

[keen ginkgo]

There is only one thing that biology adheres to in terms of what we consider realism, and thats the square cube law

[glacial thunder]

It vanished years ago but it came back

[nocturne sonnet]

balls creatures

[nocturne sonnet]

what is this

[narrow vigil]

You should visit my diary farm

Free range

[sharp raft]

Mitey not so sure should be taking advice from the one who built a cube.. and forgot.. to put.. a hatchway..

[narrow vigil]

Hey now

[sharp raft]

bricked himself he did.

inside a BRICK

[timber haven]

Bet the grass is well watered.

[narrow vigil]

Literal 😭

[sharp raft]

10/10 yelp review.

[nocturne sonnet]

how on earth did u do that

[narrow vigil]

Took me half an hour to get out

[keen ginkgo]

Take cube, make it twice as tall, this increases the volume much more (proportionally) than the surface area

It is the reason for pretty much everything regarding why biology works the way it does

[nocturne sonnet]

i dont get it

[keen ginkgo]

And why fantasy creatures would be unrealistic

[nocturne sonnet]

is this one of those new things i forgor the name

[keen ginkgo]

Double the length of a cube, you quadruple the surface area, and octuple the volume

[nocturne sonnet]

corvette

[narrow vigil]

Yeah. Glitched build

[nocturne sonnet]

i too want a box corvette

[nocturne sonnet]

living in a shipping container kind of simulator

[narrow vigil]

Fed Ex Galactic

[keen ginkgo]

This is why cells are the size they are, why different lifeforms can only get so big, why you cant have flying animals past a certain size, etc

[nocturne sonnet]

is this the farm

[wise ravine]

is there a time window to purchase things once the community research ends? T1 got completed today

[next nimbus]

Hmm... reminds me of a corvette.

[nocturne sonnet]

box hauler box hauler

[nocturne sonnet]

carries enough space for the dead bodies of my enemies

[next nimbus]

Is there a way to get a list of all the buildings in the settlement?

[paper ibex]

The items that the Atlas station gives me when you visit each one where do you find those blueprints?

Or build all of them when you’re at the very last one?

[nocturne sonnet]

this is the triangle structure right

they give seeds n stuff right

[paper ibex]

Yes. It actually looks more like a diamond, but yes.

[paper ibex]

Yep

[nocturne sonnet]

there should be 11 in total

u get a heart of the sun

[paper ibex]

Yeah, I know, but they’re giving you blueprints. How do I build them? Where do I find these blueprints to build them? Cause they’re not showing up in any of my inventories

[narrow vigil]

In your exosuit. You build them like crafting mats.

[nocturne sonnet]

i thought they give u the blueprint when u interact

u can just make it

[paper ibex]

They do. But I’m asking how to build them.

Also, I didn’t get to the part for the suit because I haven’t figured that out yet. I don’t even know how to build an exo suit. Still learning.

[nocturne sonnet]

like how u craft an item 😳

They will be in that list

[paper ibex]

Yeah

[paper ibex]

Ooooh. Okay. My b.

[narrow vigil]

They are colored orbs

You're good

A lot of quest.items end up that way

[paper ibex]

Also, I want to ask another question. How do I get a better ship that has a better hyperdrive? Because doing each individual jump to each system for this is annoying.

[nocturne sonnet]

buy hyperdrive upgrade

in space station

[paper ibex]

I did I didn’t exactly work. Is there a way in a space station I could find a certain person to buy one? Or do I have to progress within the missions to get a better ship?

[nocturne sonnet]

how far can u jump

[paper ibex]

Just one solar system at a time. And I wanna be able to jump farther.

[keen ginkgo]

Wait... are you following the paths set for you in the galaxy map?

[nocturne sonnet]

i mean distance in light years

[paper ibex]

Wdym.

[paper ibex]

Idk, tbh

[keen ginkgo]

Like the lines that lead you to an atlas station, black hole, galaxy center, etc

[unkempt lodge]

Sooo NMS is really hard to play on PS portal

[nocturne sonnet]

you can go to free view and select any place, if it is too far it will say that it is too far

[subtle robin]

and if you are out of warp fuel it will say that too

[nocturne sonnet]

i remember the furthest i can jump on my freighter was around 6k ly

idk about the new stuff

[paper ibex]

Where do I find on Xbox? How many light-years I’m jumping? Cause it doesn’t tell me.

Unless I’m blind 😅

[keen ginkgo]

Open your inventory and look at your starship stats

[nocturne sonnet]

it should say when u select a star, the distance

idk if they change the UI or not

[subtle robin]

might have to select a star and then expand the info

[paper ibex]

Looking. I mean I’m only stuck with the first radiant pillar BC one. And I’m wanting to get a better ship that has a better hyper drive range.

[paper ibex]

Oh, I see it.

[nocturne sonnet]

ye

[keen ginkgo]

Hyperdrive upgrade modules can improve any ship's hyperdrive range

[nocturne sonnet]

explorer ships have higher hyperdrive range, idk about corvette

[paper ibex]

See I did that, but I didn’t see the hyperdrive range on my starship stats changed. It’s still the same.

[keen ginkgo]

What upgrade was installed?

OH

I think you got a warp efficiency upgrade

[subtle robin]

you can also apply upgrades to the warp drive, or increase the class. Some people use the Radiant Pillar for a while. Ships can be upgraded/improved

[nocturne sonnet]

truly the upgrade of all time 😔

[paper ibex]

Also, when in space station, where can I find the people to buy ships from? And who do I have to look for?

[keen ginkgo]

Hey, its really useful

Just not as useful as range

[nocturne sonnet]

not for the problem at hand 😳

[paper ibex]

Yeah, that’s my problem. I hate the radiant pillar to be honest. It’s hyperdrive even when upgraded isn’t good. And I want to look for something different/better.

[keen ginkgo]

You can have up to 3 upgrade modules

Per tech

S class is best

For now

X class has the potential to be better, but thats gambling

[nocturne sonnet]

to buy ship, you wait for a spaceship to land on the space station, and then talk to the alien next to it to buy it, it will cost a couple of million units

[nocturne sonnet]

minmax moment

[paper ibex]

Tysm. And what about cargo ships? Or even those Corvette ships?

What’s the name of those really long ships? I forgot the name.

[subtle robin]

a Starship raised to S class with 3 good upgrades is going to be roughly the same range so...it's all about what you do with the ships. And of course having one you like the way it looks is a subjective but important stat.

[nocturne sonnet]

i havent play the update so idk about corvette
you can see a ship stats and type if you use the purple scan on an npc ship

[blissful summit]

Yo

[keen ginkgo]

Corvettes can have jump ranges higher than any other class of starship

[blissful summit]

Someone knows why i cant claim My exoeditions rewards

[keen ginkgo]

Keyword being can

[subtle robin]

Can corvettes be higher than freighters rangewise? Freighters can really move far

[paper ibex]

Where do I buy the freighter ships too?

[keen ginkgo]

No

[blissful summit]

No

[nocturne sonnet]

freighter is a whole new thing

[paper ibex]

Yeah, I know I’m just trying to explore my options and also know ahead of time of where to get all these things.

[blissful summit]

Dont Buy. U can get one for free if u rescue them from pirates

[nocturne sonnet]

you can get one for free in a rescue mission after playing for 3h and 5 warps

[subtle robin]

you land on a freighter and ask the captain to buy the ship. There's a way to save a freighter from attack and get it for free, but ONCE.

[paper ibex]

OK. Where can I get that mission? Is that like at the very end of the game?

[subtle robin]

it sounds like you arer just starting and have the starter ship, not sure why you want a freighter and reach the end of the game so fast. Just...explore and play for a bit

[nocturne sonnet]

rescue mission is kinda hard on a c class radiant pillar

[blissful summit]

U have to find random sistem with that but i would tell u to do this
• use hyper jump 5 times
• then use conflict scaner to locate pirate sistems
• and find one with pirate freighter

[paper ibex]

Actually, I’m on a creative safe file. I have a different custom file that I’m actually running to the game.

[nocturne sonnet]

doable though

[blissful summit]

But u need a normal freighter for that rescue

Or random

[nocturne sonnet]

isnt pirate freighter fight harder LOL

[blissful summit]

It's easy

[subtle robin]

my first freighter, I landed on an S class and bought it for 12 million units.

[blissful summit]

Very easy

[nocturne sonnet]

i thought they cost like 180m

120m ish

s class

[blissful summit]

The pirate freighter?

U get it for free

[nocturne sonnet]

freighter in general

[blissful summit]

Also if it's S

[blissful summit]

Depends

[subtle robin]

just a regular freighter. I landed on them until I found an S class.

[nocturne sonnet]

oh regular one

[blissful summit]

If u rescue freighter it's free

Any freighter

But u can also buy them

[narrow vigil]

Cost is mostly based on number of slots open for most things

[subtle robin]

12m wasn't a big deal by then

[narrow vigil]

It's how you get cheap exotics

Storage and tech slots are the engine of the NMS economy

[nocturne sonnet]

@paper ibex btw the cheapest good S class ship will be a solar type, you can tell them apart they make a different landing sound 😄

about 8-10m only

[vast umbra]

I just woke up, stepped out of my base and I see a parked bubble ship outside my front door. It's owned by an NPC.

[narrow vigil]

Outlaw system stations sound like a factory....

[subtle robin]

now I'm doing the reload a restore point to try to get an S class pirate dread. It's a long slog, so far done about 60 fights and it's mostly C, a couple B or A. I am going to just keep at it until an S appears

[blissful summit]

Someone knows why i cant claim My expeditions rewards

I cant claim it

[narrow vigil]

The trail?

[vast umbra]

Just got a bubble ship delivered to my hub base lmao

[nocturne sonnet]

in pirate sytem it is like 85% for C, 5% each for B, A, S

[subtle robin]

did you already claim it?

[vast umbra]

Thanks random NPC

[sharp raft]

Mitey has now reverse engineered the lingustic codex from Zarkan. Apparently.. he meant he want Mitey's MILK! Noooo! 👀

[vast umbra]

Mitey produces milk?

[blissful summit]

Ye

[narrow vigil]

MILK MACHINE INTENSIFIES

[nocturne sonnet]

yoink

[vast umbra]

Best part it's orange. So now I got a blue and orange bubble ship

[subtle robin]

bubble...Royal exotic?

[vast umbra]

Ye

Bubble or Guppy. I prefer to call them guppies

[subtle robin]

I figure they must be like a TARDIS on the inside, the ball part seems so small

[vast umbra]

I like them because they're Gek sized

[nocturne sonnet]

smol

[lyric thunder]

I am Vera

[vast umbra]

Hello Vera

[lyric thunder]

Hello there.

[nocturne sonnet]

i should go back and play again

time to fish

[subtle robin]

fishy fishy

I am planning an ocean base on one of the deep planets...if you have moon pools at different depths, do they count as fishing at whatever depth is between the pool and the bottom?

or would it all be 1450u depth fishing regardless

[vast umbra]

[subtle robin]

bubble park!

I guess they are about Gek sized

[vast umbra]

I wish I had one that was just the bubble lol

[formal spindle]

Ive 100% the game, anybody got some suggestions on what I do now? I already have maxed starship and corvette, and multitool

[subtle robin]

there is one like your blue one but without the vertical wing part. It's basically just the bubble with the side flappies

[nocturne sonnet]

how the heck do u 100% nms 😳

[spiral pivot]

Wait for the next update i guess

[keen ginkgo]

Ngl, I doubt youve actually 100% the game

[formal spindle]

All xbox achievements, and finished all story lines that I know of

[keen ginkgo]

You got all the lore?

[subtle robin]

explore all the planets. Should only take a thousand lifetimes

[timber haven]

Still piles to explore

[nocturne sonnet]

oh uhhh, have u looked through all the planets 😄

[umbral tiger]

How do you apply paint when building starship? I could have sworn I got like a paintjob for Fighter starship (maybe during expedition), but I'm not sure how to actually apply it.

[keen ginkgo]

All the (unlockable) alien words?

[cerulean cliff]

You pick the paint scheme when assembling your starship

[vast umbra]

Gek Bingus has a quest for you! Find all volumes of wormskin folios!

[cerulean cliff]

or when making a corvette you use g to paint it

[timber haven]

I swear they keep adding more

[umbral tiger]

Ok I didn't really see that, but I'll check again.

[keen ginkgo]

Your collection doesnt show all the pages unless you have them all

[nocturne sonnet]

they yap a lot

[timber haven]

It

[nocturne sonnet]

theres like 1000 words or smth

[keen ginkgo]

Over 1000 words per language

Except maybe atlas

[timber haven]

It's odd too because the unknown words are on the pages in the middle of the collection not the ends

[keen ginkgo]

Yes

And more will appear

[timber haven]

Think I'm around 500 or so for each of the main races, so most conversations have the majority of the words translated.

Still a few missing which is the annoying part

[subtle robin]

I kept taking the filled gem of denial or whatever to Atlas stations to drain it, and learning about 3 words each time, but the lore page of Atlas words always had the same number of blanks. I have stopped caring about learning all the Atlas words 🙂

[keen ginkgo]

Thats because the collection list in your catalog doesnt show the total number of missing ones

As far as I know, it never has

[spiral pivot]

I uninstall nms and this place just makes me want to play it again lol

[subtle robin]

Atlas doesn't have any further dialogue so it doesn't matter much

[keen ginkgo]

It just shows that there are some missing, but not how many

[keen ginkgo]

FALSE

Messengers of Atlas

[timber haven]

I think I picked up a good chunk of atlas ones while visiting all the atlas stations

[keen ginkgo]

I thought i knew a lot of atlas words

Then I encountered a messenger

Not a single word was one I knew

[nocturne sonnet]

😳 atlas messenger?

i gotta go look for them

[keen ginkgo]

And their lines aren't recorded

[keen ginkgo]

To view them again, you have to encounter them again

[nocturne sonnet]

ngrrrhhh

[vast umbra]

Gek Bingus has a quest for you! Find all Messengers of Atlas!

[keen ginkgo]

Who knows what sort of crazy lore is hiding behind the freaking atlas language?

[nocturne sonnet]

tree

[subtle robin]

mm, peas and spuds

[cerulean cliff]

you gotta put the parts together, then it lets you pick color before you fully assemble it.

[heady laurel]

God I'd give fucking anything for another chance at that DLC starborn phoenix please hello games heed my prayer and make it available again even if for only one day this december

[cerulean cliff]

@umbral tiger

[umbral tiger]

I noticed S-reactor is only like 7k nanites, do you know why it's much cheaper to do that than upgrading a ship into s-tier (which I think is like 50k nanites)?

[subtle robin]

I gotta think eventually they will introduce some way to play all the past expeditions.

[keen ginkgo]

Starborn phoenix was a steam dlc thing

[cerulean cliff]

rep with the faction perhaps

[narrow vigil]

Personal space.....

[near harbor]

Are there any planets that lean into the cosmic horror that the descriptions from abandoned facilities and monoliths?

[nocturne sonnet]

s reactor base is about 10k

[vast umbra]

I found him 😳

[umbral tiger]

seems like that's way cheaper than upgrading a ship to S

[bleak thunder]

Hunting starships to harvest for parts can be pretty time consuming and expensive already, no need to make you suffer for the reactor too

[nocturne sonnet]

find an infested planet

[nocturne sonnet]

it do be like that yes 😄

idk if stats will be different if u upgrade vs an organic S

[vast umbra]

I see you up there! @sharp raft

[sharp raft]

you do indeed captain and I see YOU 🙂

another sentinel carrier falls prey to the.. PHASE BEAMS OF AWESOME

[vast umbra]

[nocturne sonnet]

guys how many multitools max

pls tell me u can hold more than 6

[sharp raft]

ohhh looks like we are building a little something somethin here.

[cerulean cliff]

Starting a permadeath save >.> lets see how fast i die

[sharp raft]

if we told you that it would be a lie. Mitey think. you can archive 6. but ca only hold 5 Mitey think

[wanton patrol]

Somone gave me 83 void eggs and I cant get to the system I need as it puts my warp at the middle of the galaxy

[keen ginkgo]

You can archive either 12 or 18

[plush shard]

it's only 6 but you can put 18 more in your weapon rack at your base

[wanton patrol]

Any ideas how to fix?

[vast umbra]

Indeed! I made the main part of my estate. Now I am building a starship port for the island I am on

[nocturne sonnet]

thank goodness 🥺

[sharp raft]

faaaancy house. VERY nice!

[nocturne sonnet]

i like my multitools

[sharp raft]

::gives ikea catelogue:: now you gonna need.. you know. furniture 🙂

[nocturne sonnet]

no cave nearby = insta cooked

[vast umbra]

Yes, much furniture. But all in due time!

I got many ideas for this island

[nocturne sonnet]

after that it's smooth sailing

[ruby beacon]

Looks gooood fam, i like the front part

[vast umbra]

I actually was going for a monastery/castle like theme

[sharp raft]

well you nailed that. Whoo

[keen ginkgo]

PIKSHUR

[sharp raft]

you do have windows. but they are few and inbetween so that nails that vibe!

[nocturne sonnet]

picture

[vast umbra]

I like my privacy, so not alot of windows

[keen ginkgo]

Cannot stand the hype with no images to see

How am I to join the hype?

[vast umbra]

Too many windows and I feel exposed

[sharp raft]

Privacy indeed. It is indeed very well done sir. 10/10

And Mitey not just hand out that raiting!

[vast umbra]

[wanton patrol]

Any idea how to reset the living ship missions?

As its in another galaxy for me

One i cant get to

[sharp raft]

good lord. a lot of thrusters on this corvette

[blazing wraith]

Me, I'm an exhibitionist, so I always make lots of windows... 😉

[keen ginkgo]

Usually they have the option to reset the quest using nearby structures

[wanton patrol]

Doesnt work for me

[cerulean cliff]

found a building lol

after almost falling to my death

[vast umbra]

Behold!

[nocturne sonnet]

noice

cave better, to get cobalt for ion batteries

[keen ginkgo]

gasp its lovely!

[cerulean cliff]

except the nearest sodium plants to me were on top of a huge rock i cant climb -_-

[nocturne sonnet]

big hous

[glacial thunder]

Just found a base called The Dark Forest that was somehow built below the map

[stable badge]

I can post images in here finally

[stable badge]

Bruh

[nocturne sonnet]

i forgor i was trying to build the backrooms in my freighter

[stable badge]

Might as well share my ship in here since I can now

[nocturne sonnet]

nice ship

[vast umbra]

@sharp raft the house is supposed to be like it was there for a long time. The landing depot is a more recent addition chronologically.

[stable badge]

Thx. It's my first Corvette

[narrow vigil]

I found a plane

[sharp raft]

thats real good sir! Liking the wing/booster feel

[sharp raft]

Mitey dig it! You're definitely doin good with it

[stable badge]

Imagine if you go on a random planet, and and there's just a Boeing 747 on there

[manic holly]

my first corvette was a bunch of scrap haha

[stable badge]

Thanks. I put a lot of boosters on it. Wanted to have to be as flexible as possible 😆

[nocturne sonnet]

what the boing doing

[sharp raft]

the next patch push should keep the tech where its at so that it won't float around and mess with the stats. Glad to hear that its manuverable however!

[sharp raft]

Mitey's starship on the ground under the dry dock
