The love for the universe and the unknown as to whats out there

[brittle marlin]

I wanted 3D Starbound and this is the closest I can find

I wish there was underground ore

[odd salmon]

Yea that would be pretty cool to have!

[brittle marlin]

I really hope underground things get expanded on a lot

Add layers, ores, a reason to go deep

[odd salmon]

Yea i would not mind building a whole mining system and base underground

Same way buikding underwater was made but you know underground lol

[desert sun]

It's one of the only things left to improve

[brittle marlin]

The weird resource gathering is my only real issue with this game too

[desert sun]

Besides NPCs and multiplayer

[odd salmon]

How long you guys have been playing this game?

[desert sun]

Four years this Christmas

[tulip oar]

uhhh

[north fog]

Same galaxy, different instance iirc

[tulip oar]

many years

[brittle marlin]

It's so tantalizingly close to 3D Starbound too

[tulip oar]

that's what I meant, my bad

different version of Euclid

[desert sun]

First got it on Xbox as a Christmas gift four years ago and then later on steam when I got a PC

[north fog]

Or other galaxy if that’s the case
I believe one of the expeditions was in a galaxy in the hundreds

[desert sun]

I forget how many hours I had on Xbox but I have 600 on PC

[odd salmon]

Oh nice i have played since 2017 a bit on and off but a good 3 years after i first got it

[brittle marlin]

Bought it about a year ago but have barely hit 100 hours I think

[odd salmon]

I had it first on pc and then got it on xbox and some how my xbox file end up having most of the hrs so far

[north fog]

Started playing mid August 2023, closing up on 600 hours I think

[odd salmon]

Nice

[odd salmon]

Lol you dont enjoy it much?

[brittle marlin]

I have too many other games

[vast kraken]

is there a way to turn magnetised or pure ferrite into ferrite dust

[blazing wraith]

I've got over 8000 hours, but had to start dealing with my unplayed backlog 🤣

[vapid rover]

Don't think so

[odd salmon]

Understandable 👌🏻

[odd salmon]

Nicee

[vapid rover]

I recently hit 300 hours (I'm playing nms since 2 years ago)

[odd salmon]

Not bad! Heck yeah

[opal glade]

I have played for like 10 days

[neat glade]

i clocked 90 hours in a week

i bought the game like 12 days ago, 3 days i was overseas

[odd salmon]

Lol

[opal glade]

I want to say my stats but I'm embarrassed

[still roost]

Steam show's me at 1166.7 hours, half of that in permadeath

[odd salmon]

Big dawgg!!

[tulip oar]

wowzers

[still roost]

more then half actually, maths not so good today, or typing, 800+ hrs of perma

Just started another perma save, already at 7.6 billion creds, lol

[tulip oar]

isn't 4.2 billion the max?

[still roost]

Again, I am mistypeing, 14 hours awake will do that

[umbral sequoia]

That's the pace I've been at recently too...10 hour days recently trying to get a bunch of stuff I've been sleeping on since Voyagers released. But I've been in this spot with NMS may times over the years. Likely hitting 8,000 hours early 2026.

[opal glade]

Is playing in permadeath really hard?

[still roost]

3.6 billion

[plucky yew]

basically survival but if you die it’s over

(as far as I know)

[still roost]

Only the first couple hours if you know your way around the game

[opal glade]

Can my friends donate me resources or no? In permadeath

[odd salmon]

I got a 500hrs perma save and most of time over 9000 hrs played on different regular and survival save files

[still roost]

The real key is run like hell if your being attacked, or tunnel like a mole miner

[plucky yew]

storms are genuinely scary in permadeath

[neat glade]

when you unlock the secret technique of standing in your corvette then youre basically unkillable

[narrow vigil]

The Corvette makes permadeath so much easier. A lot safer

[odd salmon]

God Almighty

[odd salmon]

It sure does!!

[still roost]

DAMN that's impressive, I unfortunately got sidetracked by Fallout76 for 6 years

bought the game shortly after release

[desert sun]

Holy cow

[odd salmon]

I love this game i been on and off but none of less i played this alot

[narrow vigil]

My longest died at 621 hours and it was the last time I ever had a plasma launcher on a multi-tool

[desert sun]

And my friends say I'm obsessed

[odd salmon]

Jessu!! 😂😂

[umbral sequoia]

I wouldn't say hard but do I really want to put thousands of hours of progress at risk of permanent deletion? No, I don't. When I played permadeath was for the player titles or the permadeath expedition, and in that time I did not have any unintentional death...I came close once because you are somewhat vulnerable in the early hours but I did not have any unintentional deaths. I only had the one forced death that the permadeath expedition forced early on.

[desert sun]

Hold on I have a meme for this

[odd salmon]

Lol it be like that 😂

[narrow vigil]

You're not going to get through thousands of hours of progress 😂

Few have lived even 1 thousand hours on permadeath

[odd salmon]

No such thing when it cones to nms 😂

[still roost]

My 800 perma was ended by a planetary anomaly, like those sudden localised storms, red sparks and black smoke and then boom, ship blew up

[narrow vigil]

Permadeath is mostly about challenging yourself to survive longer than before.

[still roost]

faster then it toook to type out

[umbral sequoia]

I like the plasma lanucher a lot...could one grenade off me immediately? Absolutely, but that doesn't happen much at all, less than once per year, and I don't play permadeth.

[narrow vigil]

It would be nice if we had persistent permadeath. Such as when you died you kept all your recipes and unlocks but you had to start over fresh as far as your character and Tech

[opal glade]

But if your friends can just donate you a ton of resources then permadeath becomes much easier right?

[narrow vigil]

Kind of like Ark

[odd salmon]

Thats what makes it fun see far you can take it

[umbral sequoia]

I didn't say you had to lose them all at once.

[narrow vigil]

You can keep dying but your knowledge and what you've gained remains. You just have to build up again

[odd salmon]

I like ark! Another game i okay on and off

[still roost]

it would be nice if I had access to all the planets I had bases on, I made it through all the galaxies and had a planet at the jump off point in every one, all named the same "The Rest Stop at the End of -galaxy name here-

I really should have documented all those glyph's, won't make that mistake again

[umbral sequoia]

Not really no. Units don't matter for anything. I'm at the point where I'm blowing 20 billions on Emergency Signal Scanners...friends aren't going to cover those types of expenditures. You need farms for high value items that you tend to constantly. It's all the time it takes to find the amazing ships and hundreds of hours re-rolling tech for perfect stat rolls, and all the time learning all the alien languages and maxing standing with races and factions and so on.

[still roost]

I'll never be able to find those planets, take a few months of cruising around all the galactic core points and probably would still miss them

[tribal condor]

Freighter hunting is the biggest pain I swear…and now I can‘t even decide whether I want to commit to the Resurgent, or the Pirate Dreadnought. I found a nice variant of each…but the thing is…the textures and everything on the old freighters are so outdated and the lack of detail in comparison to the dreadnought is huge, honestly.

Ironically the dreadnought‘s insides even feel more cozy to me, cuz the regular freighter‘s inside feels very bright and sterile, it‘s almost too clean.

[rapid crystal]

Dreadnought is pretty cool yea

I like it a lot

[tribal condor]

At the same time, the Resurgent does have the best design to me…but other factors hold it back so I can‘t decide

[still roost]

I hunt the pirate freighter in S class before I will accept anything

[rapid crystal]

I have it in A, good enough for now

[still roost]

can be easy if you just find a couple pirate systems near each other and rinse and repeat in each

[tribal condor]

I‘ll only settle for an S, so it‘s even more annoying not being able to decide

Honestly I might just alternate between the two each jump and take the one which comes up as S first

[still roost]

yup, not worth wasting a free freighter just to pay for the one you really want

[rapid crystal]

I got so much navigation data its annoying

[still roost]

Refine into nanites

[rapid crystal]

that works? Dayum

[still roost]

scratch that, it's salvaged data, my bad

[rapid crystal]

;_;

now you have to take it and give me nanites for it

[still roost]

brain on 1 cup of coffee and 16hrs awake

[rapid crystal]

thats how it works

[still roost]

Ok, start a perma death, I'll be around the anomaly, lol

[lofty river]

trade it for useful things, like ancient sites if you havent got all glyphs idk

[rapid crystal]

haha

[rapid crystal]

you learn glyphs on ancient sites?

I thought only through the main questline

[lofty river]

havent done quest in ages so i might be wrong but sometimes you get portal bits through this

[rapid crystal]

oh nice

[still roost]

NAv data gets you maps

I thought the glyph's were strictly tied to the fallen travellers

[amber jungle]

Is this the official nms server? I'm new what is this game bout and what can i do im confused

[tribal condor]

No official server really exists

But this one‘s the closest ig

[worn bobcat]

whats a good way to make money really early game?

[amber jungle]

So is this the biggest nms server?

[still roost]

You can mainly find them by asking travellers where they came from. This will lead you to a Traveller Grave in the system that then can be searched to get a new glyph. It is possible to find a grave without asking, but they are rare and easily missed.

Using Analysis Visor shows them as Unknown Grave indicated with PICKUP.GRAVE icon.

Players will also learn all 16 glyphs during the Artemis Path mission, The Purge, without discovering Unknown Graves. After beginning the mission, a player will receive one glyph for every time they warp to a new system, accompanied by a strange message.
from the Wiki]

[desert sun]

There isn't an official server, but this is one of the biggest and best. As for what it's about, it's about exploring the universe and finding out just what the universe is

[umbral sequoia]

This is a largely pointless argument...you can remember how you did things, learn to do things faster or more efficiently but you still lose largely everything. Only meta progress you make are player titles and quicksilver items...and those are largely cosmetic. Bobbleheads give minimal stats I guess...but that's it. You're not really keeping any real progress between runs. And to get to a place where you are legitimately caught up with everything in the game and have truly elite eqipment with max or near max bonuses and modules takes thousands of hours even if you are super efficient. Take maxing a freighter...you need over 120 cargo bulkheads and 21 max freighter tech modules...so you're looking at about 150 emergency signal scanners...that'll cost over 4 billion units and then time. I run a derelict in about 4 minutes, where I spawn it, run for the end terminal and claim what I want...that's about 15 to 20 bulk-heads or modules per hour, not accounting for time spent getting in a position to earn 4+ billion units and the time spent earning them. And that's just the freighter...not even talking about the frigate fleet...time spend finding, getting, and upgrading to max level 30 of the best of the best frigates.

[amber jungle]

I'm really new to these kinds of game can you please give me a advice

[vast kraken]

how do i get parrafinium

[rapid crystal]

paraffinum deposits on planets or galactic trade terminal

[still roost]

So having maxed out my last perma death save in under 400 hours was impossible?

[tribal condor]

I feel like space station teleport spamming can give cargo bulkheads faster tbh, but it‘s also very rng. But if you write down all of the stations which have it as a guild reward and telport there to bring them in order it should be more efficient than derelicts

[umbral sequoia]

Lush planets, find deposits and mine them or find hotspots and automate it.

[vast kraken]

like the trade terminal in space stations?

[rapid crystal]

yes, but its not always there

[vast kraken]

is it the same stock for every station?

[viscid mural]

is anyone in the death star

[rapid crystal]

Your best bet is to find planets that have it and get it from there

[viscid mural]

i just got sucked into it

[umbral sequoia]

Depends on what you consider maxed out. If I saw what you had I'd likely be very unimpressed.

[naive mist]

Closest to official as it can get. Devs recognize it and we have our discord logo ingame

[old meteor]

The game gives you hints and has text on the bottom right. Check the logs and just work through the missions. The game is about exploring and the missions help show you what is possible

[desert sun]

Follow the main story, it acts as a short of tutorial for a while

[desert sun]

No

[amber jungle]

Okay thanks I'll try that out

[desert sun]

That's the anomaly

[vast kraken]

okay thanks 🙏🏼

[viscid mural]

the death star

[naive mist]

Check out !faq-beginnertips command in #bot-spam .

[umbral sequoia]

Those are very rare. Went to a lot of stations recently when I was doing the derelict freighter lore to hand in the captain logs and crew logs in over 50 different stations I found 3 that gave cargo bulkheads. Even if you get like 10 a day, I want to stock up 600, I'm not waiting months on that. I can get 65 scanners for 65 a day without eating into my reserves of stasis devices but I have a container with 1000 so I'm eating into them to get about 100 per day from derelicts and will make up my stasis device losses later.

[opal glade]

Ok so it's not easy

Id struggle a lot probably

[still roost]

I would say your a bit over the top saying that, just because you didn't get far in a short time doesn't mean others cant do it. I don't know what you consider "maxed out" but for me an S class dreadnought, full frigate fleet of S class and fighter wing S class, running a maxed out Sentinel interceptor as my main and 3 living ships just to show off, suit maxed on modules, tools all maxed and optimised for type, not sure what else there is, only thing I hadn't maxed was quicksilver

And that was a little over 800 hours in permadeath

[umbral sequoia]

I have over 7800 hours in the game. Trust me, I know how long it takes to do things and all the tricks on how to do things fastest and most efficiently. I've been maxing, ships, multitools, and all the rest since those things had stat bonuses.

[still roost]

whatever

[rapid crystal]

I believe it comes down to randomness also, I got 3 cargo bulkheads in about an hour today

[tribal condor]

I haven‘t save edited in a way which I‘d consider cheating yet (only to get back old Expedition rewards from a lost account file), but honestly I‘m playing with the thought of giving me some Quicksilver eventually.

Unless you commit your entire life to this game, it‘ll take forever to get literally everything maxed out, unless you‘ve been an og player and kept playing on the og save file. I don‘t even have mine anymore.

[umbral sequoia]

Yeah, but I don't really want to spend that kind of time and even if RNG was a lot better I don't want to have a list of dozens of stations written down and try to keep them all in my teleporter and so on. Making a stasis device farm is def worth doing and it's better for me to use that to fund scanners for derelicts.

[violet forge]

Guys i swear I saw the atlas breaking it down while i was playing at 3am

U have to believe me

[rapid crystal]

Makes a lot of sense yeah

[still roost]

I've never even looked into how to save edit, how easy is it?

[cold zodiac]

Hello iam new on NMS how do i change the view of my ship so i can see outside it? (PC)

[tribal condor]

It‘s very easy, though I prefer to use the service bot now if I need anything. I plan to eventually unlock all of the Expedition exclusive blueprints on my main save this way, which isn‘t possible on vanilla saves as only Expedition saves can keep some of the Expedition‘s exclusive blueprints, but not for all Expeditions obviously.

But for a save editor, you just download it, read a small tutorial ig and then you can give yourself whatever you need in a matter of minutes.

[rapid crystal]

Quick Menu, utilities, starship view toggle

quick menu is x on keyboard or dpad down on controller

[cold zodiac]

Thx brother

[still roost]

I'm not after items and stuff, i have a download of a freighter build i want to put into my normal save.
I'll look into that so I can make it happen, thanks for the info

[vast kraken]

im at a space station i need to hire a scientist where do i find one

[plucky yew]

it should be marked iirc

[still roost]

If you have the mission highlighted he shoulkd just be there marked for you, if not jump in and out of your ship and reload

[vast kraken]

okay bet

[cold hare]

Is it just me being unlucky or no ground fauna spawns on lush colossal planets?

[rapid crystal]

is lush the same as paradise?

[cold hare]

yeah

[rapid crystal]

Well I only have a sample size of one, but theres no ground fauna either

[tribal condor]

Lush planets can have storms and aggressive sentinels though, no? Paradises can‘t from my understanding

[umbral sequoia]

Yes, that is spot on.

[plucky yew]

aside from the storms lush planets are nice

[cold hare]

I am trying to find a good planet for my capital base and I wanted a colossal paradise one, with trees and ground animals, been hunting for it for a few days, but every lush giant (which is already rare) has only flying and underwater fauna

[tribal condor]

I generally don‘t mind storms (but hate rainy planets), it makes building a base more immersive to me, in the sense that my character would actually need one.

[cold hare]

It's weird cause frozen or toxic colossal planets have normal ground fauna, just like standard planets

[rapid crystal]

my paradise planet has this type of fauna that is kind of in the ground and coming up sometimes, idk what it is called

[cold hare]

Well, for me storms are ok as far as they aren't extreme

[plucky yew]

same, I actually built a small cabin on a fiery planet one time, the atmosphere was genuinely amazing

(the cabin was made out of wood but THIS IS A GAME ABOUT SPACE MAGIC OK?)

[atomic copper]

Whew about to work on my ranch xD

[ivory heath]

my pc decided that i'm not playing nms today

[river phoenix]

just realized you can push the npcs in the freighter hangars around

[ivory heath]

You can?? awesome

[brittle marlin]

God I can't wait till I get home cause I want to make progress on the expedition

[rapid crystal]

some guy pushed me around the anomaly with the personal shield

[tribal condor]

Is there a name for the foggy filter some lush planets have, if anyone knows what I mean?

[river phoenix]

I wonder if you can drag an npc into your corvette

[rapid crystal]

try it

:D

[tribal condor]

Nvm chromatic fog planets are what those are called

Those are some of my fav planets if they happen to be lush too

[river phoenix]

Isn't chromatic fog also one of the weather descriptors though

[tribal condor]

Like

Wait a sec

ig im not actually talking about the chromatic fog necessarily. Cause this planet has a similar fog effect, at least on an old save of mine where it was in my starter system and therefore not stormy (went there on a different save and it turned out to be a rainy planed with storms, has activated copper ).

None of its description mentions anything about being a chromatic one, but the fog was reaaalllyy dense when I visited on that other save where it wasn't stormy due to spawn system nerfs. Honestly such a shame, it was really nice to stroll on and also had decently deep water and fauna, but welp.

[shrewd canyon]

hi

im like fairly new to nms

[tribal condor]

chromatic fog planets have a red tints usually too dont they? Like red plus blue outlines in the filter

[junior stratus]

space friends

[tulip oar]

Welcome to the game and community!

[shrewd canyon]

ty

i mostly joined bc my dads in this server

[atomic copper]

Seems like the planets change the longer you stay away

[tulip oar]

Neat

[shrewd canyon]

anyone play on ps

[tulip oar]

Try asking around in #nms-lfg-or-trades

[shrewd canyon]

idk if this games crossplay

[tulip oar]

Yeah it is

[shrewd canyon]

oh lol

[dreamy kayak]

your dad can't be in a server, he's in real life.

[shrewd canyon]

lmao

[tulip oar]

[dreamy kayak]

dad joke

[shrewd canyon]

i wanna play wit someone

[sterile granite]

Hahaha

[smoky barn]

im so unlucky

i got a fever rn

[shrewd canyon]

damn

[rapid crystal]

get well soon, drink lotsa water and rest

[smoky barn]

thats what im doing

taking aspirin rn

[storm matrix]

where do i ask for help?

[river phoenix]

Chromatic fog is one of the weather descriptors that can appear on Red, Green and Blue biome planets (mega exotics). The descriptor that's used doesn't actually have anything to do with the weather or filter present on the planet, though those biomes do have higher weightings of certain filters.

I think what people usually refer to as 'chameleon planets' are sometimes also called 'chromatic fog planets' byt the community though

[rapid crystal]

#nms-questions

[halcyon tide]

great excuse to play some nms

[smoky barn]

but tbh

[sterile granite]

My settings were all maxed out at hardest difficulty lmao

[smoky barn]

im kinda worried since i got a driving exam on monday

[sterile granite]

Just noticing

[storm matrix]

cuz i need a walker brain could anyone gimme one?

[smoky barn]

and i want to train a bit before

with my cousin

[steel moth]

Why does my corvette floats in the air when i land on water?

[shrewd canyon]

the music is so loud holy

[steel moth]

When i summon it it’s completely normal but sometimes it gets bugged and i cant summon it in water

[brittle marlin]

Why don't you just beam down?

[steel moth]

İt’s especially annoying when you go into these stormy ocean planets

[steel moth]

I lıke the way how it lands lol

[shrewd canyon]

what do nanites do

[steel moth]

I only beam down when i completely have to bc my corvette can only land in flat surfaces due to it’s big and weird shape

[halcyon tide]

all ships float above the water

corvettes might just be a little higher up

[dreamy kayak]

lol

im cooking my part of christmas dinner tonight lol

mashed potatoes

[shrewd canyon]

can i play with someone

[dreamy kayak]

paula dean style, minus the racism

[halcyon tide]

we have #nms-lfg-or-trades for that

[shrewd canyon]

oh lol

what does lfg mean

[dreamy kayak]

live freakin' gaming

i dunno

[tulip oar]

looking for group

[shrewd canyon]

oh lol

[gentle hollow]

My jetpack is acting weird, idk what I did

[viscid mural]

hey guys

[plucky yew]

did you install anything new?

[viscid mural]

did i lose my starter ship

[gentle hollow]

It'll make me do like jumps that use up most of the fuel, and I cant really climb anything

[viscid mural]

i repaired another one and flew off

does that mean the others gone for good

[narrow vigil]

You misunderstood what I said and based a wall of text on that 😂

[plucky yew]

no you can summon any ship on a space station

[viscid mural]

how

[gentle hollow]

I'm not sure, I might have. I got a bunch of stuff I installed everything

[plucky yew]

quick menu > summon vehicles and call another ship

[viscid mural]

oh ok

how do i upgrade my ship

like change how it looks

[plucky yew]

you can’t change it rlly

[gentle hollow]

You can't

[viscid mural]

how is his gold then

[plucky yew]

do you have rocket boots installed..?

[viscid mural]

can i not edit it at all

[plucky yew]

no

[gentle hollow]

Yes i do! So remove that then?

[plucky yew]

if you want a different ship you must buy a new one

[gentle hollow]

They found a gold ship :)

[plucky yew]

yes, try that

[viscid mural]

so

i cant customise it AT ALL

[gentle hollow]

Nope

[viscid mural]

not even the color

[plucky yew]

you can build new ships

out of ship parts

[umbral sequoia]

No, I understood just fine. You didn't make some deep comment with context and and implied meaning or anything else, you just basically said that basically you keep the knowledge and can do it faster or more efficiently next time. Quote "You can keep dying but your knowledge and what you've gained remains. You just have to build up again"

[plucky yew]

then you can customise it

[viscid mural]

so i just gotta get lucky with the ship i find

[gentle hollow]

You'd have to deconstruct and make a new one to look at certain way

[plucky yew]

but your existing ships - no

[viscid mural]

can i do that for free with difficulty settings change

[plucky yew]

as far as I know yes

[viscid mural]

will i be looked down on for doing that

[plucky yew]

you can get ships for free by changing the settings

[gentle hollow]

Not really? You have find and deconstruct ships i think

I could definitely be wrong tho!

[plucky yew]

it’s a singleplayer game so there’s nothing wrong with doing that

[viscid mural]

but i can see people right

[plucky yew]

yes

[gentle hollow]

I don't think anyone will know unless you tell them, no?

[plucky yew]

no one is gonna know..

unless you have some really odd ship that’s obviously save edited

[gentle hollow]

Besides, everyone plays games and has fun in different ways :) play the way that is the the most fun for you 💜

[viscid mural]

i just want to change the color of the ship

lol

[plucky yew]

then you have to build a new one

[narrow vigil]

No you're looking at it from the scope of your tools, ships and all the stuff your character carries with you as being the most important and hardest part of the game. When the hardest part of the game is unlocking everything you have to unlock. That's what takes the longest time. That's the biggest grind.

You don't need to reach god mode levels of power as soon as possible in a game where even a peasant can beat the toughest enemies with ease.

[viscid mural]

how do i fix the drench buffer

thing

[narrow vigil]

You can beat the hardest ships in the game with the starting ship. A simple bolt caster is enough to kick ass against any enemies. Everything else is just number fluff to make us feel stronger or make it a bit easier

[plucky yew]

huh?

[gentle hollow]

@plucky yew thanks for help with the rocket boots, fixed my issue 💜

[plucky yew]

np

[atomic copper]

Soon as I get lv 5 I can’t wait to post my work

[narrow vigil]

A person can get through the entire game with just the radiant pillar and starting multi-tool. And just by upgrading it and adding Tech to it they'll be able to accomplish anything that needs done.

[plucky yew]

I still have no clue how rocket boots work 😔

[atomic copper]

Huh?

[tulip oar]

rocket boots are fun

[viscid mural]

its called a drenched buffer

[naive mist]

U tap jump 2x i think

[tulip oar]

I like them

[atomic copper]

You mean to push foward and dodge like a mad man

[gentle hollow]

Ahaha understandable, I was getting so frustrated

[opal glade]

At the end of the game, I will sit in my radiant pillar and finish my mission

[naive mist]

Rocket boots aka suicide boots.

[plucky yew]

well I’ll see. I want to get all the achievements in another game before I start another nms run

[atomic copper]

I wish a pvp space battle would happen xD

[lofty river]

disco boots 😔

[gentle hollow]

Also why is it that everytime I look in this channel theres people leaving walls of text 😂

[still roost]

You run, then bash and jump at nearly the same time

[atomic copper]

PvP space battle would be epic

Like a Star Trek theme kinda battle

[opal glade]

I'll hunt you down lol specifically

[atomic copper]

xD

[narrow vigil]

And what's great is it's fully possible for you to do that because this game is not too difficult. It doesn't require you seeking out the absolute best of everything based on a "meta" as if this game has dark souls levels of difficulty 😂

[atomic copper]

I’ll be in the front just for you xD

[plucky yew]

no clue

[gentle hollow]

I think that would be fun only if it was like an area thing. Like people join a lobby that allows that so randoms dont get caught in the cross fire ahaha

[opal glade]

Man I can't wait to finish the expedition

And collect those rewards

[tulip oar]

there are probably some communities with pvp arenas

[plucky yew]

wait.. expedition..?

[fallen flare]

Hi

[opal glade]

Yes the corvette expedition

[plucky yew]

oh

[umbral sequoia]

Expedition 19 redux going on until December 30, the Corvette expedition.

[plucky yew]

I got confused

[worn bobcat]

There are a few sentile drones in front of me, am i able to kill them?

I only have a mining drill as a weapon

[plain crescent]

i'm hungry

[sleek quest]

I call them rage boots when on Gas Giants because my Inputs are delayed and sometimes I just involuntarily jump.

[sleek quest]

As a new player, no

[dreamy kayak]

it's not the ones you see you gotta worry about, it's the waves of them that spawn because you attacked one

[worn bobcat]

ok so dont attack?

[sleek quest]

Don't attack

[worn bobcat]

alr

[tribal condor]

The initial ones probably yes, but not the reinforcements that‘ll follow

[worn bobcat]

when will i able to attack?

[gentle hollow]

Gotta love it when your target sweep says "keep going forward you're almost there!" Then goes "Jk you passed it actually, go back 200 feet"

[umbral sequoia]

Depends on the drones...it's probably doable but painfully slow. You should have some kind of proper weapon and at least a couple of upgrades before fighting sentinels.

[dreamy kayak]

i mean technically you could attack now, as long as you had a way to teleport out and hide

[worn bobcat]

can they attack me, and what happens when i die?

[sleek quest]

Once you get a weapon and some combat experience.

Because Sentinels are 5 waves, with dogs, mechs and walkers, it is not recommended as combat for new players

[tribal condor]

The Sentinel Dog tends to give new players a hard time early game, but it could be fun to try

[dreamy kayak]

they can attack if you continue mining things while they are alerted and investigating

but otherwise no

once they are alerted stop what you are doing and back off

and you are fine

[umbral sequoia]

They can attack you if you aggro them and what happens when you die depends on difficulty settings.

[worn bobcat]

wha if i steal from the base they are around?

[sleek quest]

You can fight biological horrors

[dreamy kayak]

biological horrors are easy as long as you are on top of a building

if you aren't, ouch

[sleek quest]

If you enter the building a countdown begins once that countdown ends the sentinels will become passive again.

[umbral sequoia]

If you break down the door you aggro them but you can probably hide inside until they lose aggro. If you can just walk in(ie the door opens) then you can loot safely.

[worn bobcat]

I put a screenshot in #nms-questions

[sleek quest]

But if it's a supply depot, there is no building you can get into.

[viscid mural]

how do i fnd the death star aggain

[worn bobcat]

it says cargo depot

[dreamy kayak]

i guess by watching star wars

[sleek quest]

Quick menu while flying a ship in space: Summon Anomaly

[viscid mural]

thanks

[sleek quest]

Oh, well just get in your ship, do a fly by shooting at that then fly up into the anomaly

[foggy stag]

Merry Christmas everyone

[umbral sequoia]

Don't screw with that if all you have is a mining beam...that's an instant 5 star wanted level. You're not ready for that kind of heat.

[worn bobcat]

yeah

[dreamy kayak]

"waisted...."

[worn bobcat]

alr

also how does the whole thing with nms being one big server work?

[sleek quest]

Imagine Minecraft, but everyone plays on the same seed.

[worn bobcat]

ive heard its very hard to run into someone else

but not much else

[sleek quest]

If two people are on a similar location, they are alloted into the same server

[sleek quest]

Yes, apart from galactic cores, it is a vast universe.

You can play this game without Internet even.

[worn bobcat]

how do people find each other then?

[still roost]

Easy in the Anomaly

[sleek quest]

We use #nms-lfg-or-trades

[tribal condor]

You guys think there's any chances the older freighters are going to get a texture update at some point? They look so outdated compared to the dreadnought´.

[umbral sequoia]

If you mean multiplayer the short answer is that for the most part it doesn't. Multiplayer isn't really balanced and is the main cause of most bugs and glitches still left in the game.

[narrow vigil]

They just got system freighter variety on the switch to work. I don't imagine they're going to overhaul the looks of General system and exclusive freighters anytime soon based on that

[tribal condor]

I am having such a dilemma committing to either a resurgent or dreadnought, it sucks

[narrow vigil]

I mean they've worked on freighters a lot to make them less of a load on the system. And the base building overhaul related to freighters. Not sure they're going to do a third overhaul of freighters

They won't even remove the antenna outside of the hangar Bay.....

[ornate pilot]

Happy Holidays, Everyone! 🎄

[sharp raft]

@keen ginkgo qestion for ya. @sterile granite needs to set up a base. he's found a cave that is about 558u from your cliffside home. Theoretically more than 400u should be okay. just checkin if you are on to see if that would be okay!

[dreamy kayak]

ok

[sharp raft]

you too Traveller!

[dreamy kayak]

whats up mitey

[tribal condor]

like i found this one today which is pretty much my fav resurgent config, but i really dislike the lack of details and lower quality textures compared to the dreadnought. This Resurgent is my fav design, but the dreadnought design isnt that far behind.

Still, i'd commit to hunting the S for this one, but then I look closer and see the overall less quality compared to the dreadnought and just feel a bit meh.

[dreamy kayak]

trying to cook mashed potatoes for my family dinner at my moms tonight

[dreamy kayak]

it's like outlaw stations vs new regular stations

but opposite

because one is newer, its better

not necessarily because you like it more

but im with you

[tribal condor]

yep, that's exactly the conflict that's playing out inside of me

[dreamy kayak]

i dont want a pirate ship

but I want the nicest

and its the pirate dread

so that's what I get

[tribal condor]

like if you really look closely, the venator is just a large flat piece which a bunch of stuff sticking out of it, while the dreadnought has so much love to its detail

the resurgent is my fav design like i said, but in terms of quality, its not even close

[dreamy kayak]

yeah

[narrow vigil]

Just look at the difference between highly detailed and massive Corvettes using mostly Corvette parts. And then look at the difference when it's mostly just basic visual and decorative pieces upscaled.

[dreamy kayak]

if the venator was redesigned today... it would be better than the dreadd

like kept the same shape

but just more graphics and stuff?

[narrow vigil]

That's exactly how freighters work too. And the more they detail freighters the more it will go backwards and result in system lag again

[dreamy kayak]

but yeah

[viscid mural]

ok

im in a pirate stealing freighter situation

what do i do

[dreamy kayak]

well you can give up or kill the pirates

make sure you have sodium or starship shield batteries to recharge shields

if you do

you can take your time

if you don't dock up at the space station and give up

[tribal condor]

i mean yeah, but the sentinel and venator could still be polished to the level of the dreadnought at least

[dreamy kayak]

won't until they do another specific update

they always update certain things at a time

and leave everything else as is

thats why I said look at new regular stations vs outlaw statoins

you can see they do that

[umbral sequoia]

Exact model I have, IMO the Resurgent Venator is the best looking freighter in the game, and I really like the elevated tower too. Just too bad that it's A class and Vy'keen crew can be a hit or miss depending on your preference.

[dreamy kayak]

you could maybe see if there are mods

that improve graphics

[keen ginkgo]

Should be fine by me, though idk whether it will lead to base bugs in the future

[sharp raft]

yeah tryin to get that range a little bit further so you both can grow

[tribal condor]

Oh I specifically hunted for a Vy'keen crew haha, I also found out that the crew members can change, i encountered like 4 different captains/bridge crews on this one, some which I liked more than others. I've been going at it hunting for an S-roll of this one for a while now, but also internally debating about going for a pirate dreadnought cause the older textures and the lack of detail compared to the dread are kinda dragging it down for me.

Still don't know which one's it going to be.

[tulip oar]

Check out #1418605454300549120 , we don't allow blatant advertising @amber spruce

[viscid mural]

do i claim it?

[dreamy kayak]

if you won heck yeah

answer the message

[amber spruce]

@tulip oar thankyou for telling me what channel

[dreamy kayak]

and then dock on the ship

take the teleporter nearby up

and youll be in the command room

talk to what looks like a captain in his chair

claim the ship no matter the class

[amber spruce]

@tulip oar it says I don't have access to it right now

[dreamy kayak]

you can always upgrade later

[viscid mural]

oh ok

[dreamy kayak]

freighters are that important to have

[tulip oar]

The channel?

[viscid mural]

i thought i had to re do it until i got a good one

thats what someone else said

[amber spruce]

@tulip oar I think so

[viscid mural]

i bought it

[dreamy kayak]

now this is whats important, if you don't like the freighter, still keep it, but don't upgrade the inventory on it

[amber spruce]

Maybe I looked wrong

[tulip oar]

If you can see the channel, read the instructions post there.

If you click on the channel in my message, it'll take you there

[viscid mural]

how do i upgrade this one>

or find a better one?

just warp more

[tulip oar]

You cannot upgrade a freighter class

just gotta find another

[viscid mural]

ok

by warping 5 times?

[tulip oar]

And 3 hours of active gameplay

[viscid trellis]

n 3 hours

[viscid mural]

ive already got 9 hours

[tulip oar]

tabbing out or pause menu doesn't count

[viscid mural]

ive been playing

for 9 hours

[tulip oar]

Since the last freighter event

[dreamy kayak]

basically take the freighter, you can't upgrade the ship itself, you can expand the inventory though, but if you don't like the freighter, don't expand the inventory on that one

[viscid trellis]

3 hrs between battles

[viscid mural]

ah ok

so freighter is like a base i can put a house in it

[dreamy kayak]

yes

in a way

but yess

trust me you can get a free pirate dreadnaught later

[amber spruce]

@tulip oar thankyou

[dreamy kayak]

you can build a base in it, just don't expand the inventory if you don't like it

that way its not a waste when you trade

but you absolutely want a freighter asap

in a way they are all basically the same, just up to looks and some slight stat differences

but get the free freighter no matter what it is, and either pay for a civilian one later, or prep or a free pirate dreadnaught

and whatever base you build you can transfer to the new one

the only thing that doesn't transfer is inventory expansion

[signal oxide]

dumb question but when I buy distress call maps, is there a way to try and focus it on ships instead of abandoned buildings? (I wanted to get some ship parts so I could build a better ship other than the starter one).

[keen ginkgo]

Freighters are so expensive aaaa

At least for my permadeath self

[viscid mural]

ah ok

[dreamy kayak]

but the first pirate dread is free though

[viscid mural]

i havent died yet

[keen ginkgo]

Well how much is it worth?

[dreamy kayak]

i dunno I always got it for free

[keen ginkgo]

Because my current freighter has a trade in value of like 2 million units

Which is absolutely NOTHING in terms of freighter prices

[shrewd canyon]

what does a hyaline brain do

[sharp raft]

@keen ginkgo all goood. found a spot way in the mountains 🙂

[tribal condor]

Yeh I was also surprised when the one I posted above which is only an A-Class was over 200 million...then I remembered that I have custom settings, tuned mostly to a mix of Survival and PD

[viscid mural]

does my frigate make me any money eddie

[dreamy kayak]

brb potatoes are cooked

[umbral sequoia]

It can, if you have a solid frigate fleet to send on expeditions. But not by itself, no.

[viscid mural]

how do i make a fleet

theyre trying to sell me

like 60 frigates

at once

[tulip oar]

they do that

[viscid mural]

i bought one

because it looked cool

[umbral sequoia]

Once you own a freighter you can approach the frigates of NPC freighter fleets in space and some will be recruitable. Costs units, the higher thee class the more costly but for mechanical frigates the best ones are ones you recruit at C class with less than 4 expeditions completed and core stats of around 10 and then level them up yourself. Limit is 30 frigates, that's the most you can own.

[viscid mural]

im going to go broke

[atomic copper]

lol

[umbral sequoia]

You're going to need units....the more into the game you go the more units you'll need. I suggest looking into automating resources at bases.

[viscid mural]

i bought 3

i have 12 million

i sold a couple ships i found

[dreamy kayak]

i made perfect italian seasoned potatoes paula dean style, but without the racisms

[half wolf]

can anyone tell me how to get the game to work in steam with xbox controller? I tried to turn on/off overlay, and running steam iin big screen mode and restarting steam with controller plugged in, it works in every game BUT NMS

[desert sun]

That's basically nothing in this game

[dreamy kayak]

heavy cream, chicken stock, and kerrygold 2 double sticks

[desert sun]

That's weird mine worked instantly

[dreamy kayak]

salt pepper garlic and italian seasoning

[tulip oar]

Try asking around in #nms-questions . Some knowledgeable folk there

[tulip oar]

I think you may like #no-mans-steak🥩

[half wolf]

ok

thank you

[tulip oar]

Good luck!

[dreamy kayak]

potatoes never look amazing in a pot, but I will tomorrow for my homemade meatballs and pasta

[shrewd canyon]

what do i need to make a terrain manipulator it says components 1/2

[tulip oar]

It should tell you if you hover over it in your multitool inventory

[viscid mural]

oh

[shrewd canyon]

it doesnt even say that i can craft it

i have the mission but idk

[tulip oar]

not your exosuit, your multitool inventory

You can't craft the tech

[shrewd canyon]

yeah

[tulip oar]

maybe you need to obtain the other material before it gives you the tech recipe

[shrewd canyon]

idk

[tulip oar]

What does it say in your log?

[shrewd canyon]

oh i did it somehow

[blazing wraith]

To craft your Terrain Manipulator, you need Di-Hydrogen Jelly and Carbon Nanotubes

Once you have them, you craft it in your multitool inventory

Sounds like your have one but not the other required.

You likely already know the recipes for the components, check your inventory and create as needed.

[shrewd canyon]

i already did it 😭

[viscid mural]

do i have to keep my frigates fueled

[narrow vigil]

You supply them with frigate fuel when you send them out on a mission

[viscid mural]

ah ok

[narrow vigil]

It automatically gives them what they need for the mission. If you don't have enough it doesn't let you send them

[dreamy kayak]

idea for hello games, what if when you look at a your frigate ships from the menu it provides, it allows you to sort based on type of ship and stats too

[desert sun]

!hg tell them, I like this

[lime haven]

Hello Gunter.

When is it level up time?

[narrow vigil]

This game definitely leans into the older bracket of gamers.

But at the end of the day the average console and PC Gamer is closer to 45 than 25.

[blazing wraith]

Lol, all games do, because of who has the money 😉

[shrewd canyon]

I feel fortunate to have grown up in the era of games I did

The entire industry is pumping the price of games up because they know their average target customer is a middle-ager with disposable income

So 22 isn’t old? I get called unc by 18 year olds lol

not at all lmao its just a social media platform

[dreamy kayak]

i keep the talking public

[tulip oar]

Alright let's get back to NMS

[worn bobcat]

whats the best way to get ferrite, i run through it so quickly

[round dome]

Yes, there are exceptions like yours.

[atomic copper]

lol

[smoky jasper]

shoot rocks

[dreamy kayak]

well do you have access to a lot of oxygen?

[pliant wadi]

I love rock blasting

[keen ginkgo]

Don't throw away rusted metal, refine it

[north fog]

Hop in your ship, point it toward the ground, start shooting

[shrewd canyon]

by getting ferrite

[pliant wadi]

I could spend all day shooting rocks

[sterile granite]

First mistake I made

[worn bobcat]

i was using a mining drill, no wonder

[dreamy kayak]

the trick to getting ferrite is shooting the ground with your ship

[atomic copper]

Shot to e planet and grab a beer lol

[keen ginkgo]

Theres a refiner loop where you can combine pure ferrite and oxygen for 2 rusted metal, each of which refines to 2 ferrite, which can be refined to 2 pure metal and the cycle loops there as long as you have oxygen

[dreamy kayak]

this or if you don’t have unlimited oxygen shoot the ground with your ship

you have to be close enough to see what you are shooting

[smoky jasper]

im gonna run out of parts i just know it. need to build the bottom of a 9x9 pyramid and a 10 story sphere for this one

[tulip oar]

pew pew

[north fog]

For oxygen you point your ship down while over an ocean btw (and you hope it’s a good ocean, that gives oxygen, if not you need to find a different ocean)

[atomic copper]

I find ultramarine planets very interesting really

[round dome]

get an advanced mining laser and your requirement for ferrite dust will fall by 20 to 35%. Ferrite dust is mainly aquired for getting other resources such as magnetised ferrite and pure ferrite. If you get an advanced mining laser, you can directly harvest those superior materials. Other than that you will still need to mine rocks to get normal ferrite dust for other items such as metal plating.

[dreamy kayak]

also great for salt and chlorine and cyto phosphate too

[cobalt timber]

wow a lot going on here

[timber haven]

Nah it gets used by a lot of people even 40+

[tulip oar]

yuh

[dreamy kayak]

shooting to mine is a pro move

[round dome]

Okay I get it.

[tulip oar]

I enjoy using my multitool

[dreamy kayak]

i got caramel donuts for that too

random aliens keep landing on my frigate

how do i kick them off

You don't

[viscid mural]

this is a private ship

Hey guys. Im kinda new to nms. I started a couple weeks ago. Currently I've been trying to construct a really cool starship. I just bought an exotic starship. Gemini (the Google AI) has been hyping my ship up. So I thought it'd be a good idea to join the discord and ask your opinions? (Since you're real humans XD)

[viscid mural]

where do i post images again

[tulip oar]

#nms-media

[tulip oar]

sure thing

[cobalt timber]

Still havent been able to get my exotic from crossplay

idk wussup with that

[viscid mural]

did you see the image art

there is thousands of those rocks everywhere

[narrow vigil]

We have #nms-legacy-ships for starships

[tulip oar]

awesome!

[ornate jewel]

Okay cool ill send pics of it in there. Thanks 😎

[narrow vigil]

Find a lush world with no trees and nothing but rocks and mark it with a base computer. You'll never need a source of ferrite or pure ferrite again

Fungal worlds are best for carbon. They have really dense patches of Flora that you can clear easy from your ship.

[smoky jasper]

lush can be a lot of things

[atomic copper]

lol I know right

The chart is missing a lot of different names of certain planets

But it’s still good

[ornate jewel]

Omg the first much planet I found f was a virdiscent. I was so hyped when I first scanned it. It ended up being completely mountain's. Like nowhere was flat 😭

I had to use the anomaly to telephone to the essentium (sorry about spelling) to find a lush planet to make my home bsse.

[atomic copper]

So far I have seen a lot of planets with ultra in it.

[still roost]

Landed on a water-world, Malicious Sentinels, GTFO

[smoky jasper]

tip - only paradise planets are going to be perfect but if you dont mind some sentinels these lush weathers have no storms, good to build on

[atomic copper]

Even one saying Atlas forged

A planet without a storm is not a planet to me xD

[narrow vigil]

Oh lush can also be swamp.

There's a few lush modifiers that carry over into potential swamp biomes.

Then there's a difference between something like Forest lush and tropical lush. One typically being much clearer and the other being much fogier

There's still people who say there's no biome variety. but after worlds 2 they are just talking out of their ass 😂

[ornate jewel]

Oh yeee. I've got that figured out pretty well. Basically the only thing I actually understand in this game 😂 . My home base is on a paradise planet, but I've been watching alot of YouTube videos about nms. So I figured out that my paradise planet is one of those super common ones. But I have another planet that is way better. Uhhh which channel can I send pics of my planets just of fun?

[smoky jasper]

once you get into advanced building its a whole new game

[narrow vigil]

When looking at YouTube videos and sourcing things like wikis and Reddit post make sure they are at least within the past year of when they were posted.

[atomic copper]

If you bump into storm ranger red that’s me xD

[narrow vigil]

The more popular YouTubers often delete videos containing out of date or changed tips and information. But there's plenty of that stuff all over the place.

And there's been so many overhauls to so many parts of the game there's a long list of wrong information you can source the further back you go.

[atomic copper]

Some of the tips I see on YouTube I don’t follow MOST of the time. Some are weird….

[wet stag]

What's up guys

[smoky jasper]

why? the only thing thats really been removed is the old adjacency glitch but we have uag now. unless youre looking for planet addresses. most of the build tech videos i watch are 3-4 years old and still valid

[narrow vigil]

I had somebody say that Google AI told them that buying and selling Cobalt could be a good way of making money.

[north fog]

Lmfao, the old market crashing

Hasn’t been a good source of money for years

[narrow vigil]

That's because Google AI is sourcing hundreds of posts and thousands of comments related to the old days of cobalt crashing. When it really was viable. But even though Cobalt trading is no longer viable all of that stuff still remains to be sourced by current AI bots and people trying to find their own ways to make money

[narrow vigil]

Yeah that was like back in the NEXT days

[ornate jewel]

Yeah im sure. Currently i've just been making basic bases out of the cilidrical rooms, square rooms and glass corridors. I just haven't found a planet that I really really like to build a dope base on 😭

[narrow vigil]

Before they introduced system trade goods

[wet stag]

That's a start for a good mom and pop shop I guess

[atomic copper]

I was a video of a planet sized ship…. It was…. Amazing

[narrow vigil]

One of the big problems with AI sourcing for information in this game is Reddit.

These chat bots source Reddit hard. And the mods on Reddit are very bad about deleting old post containing wrong or changed information.

[atomic copper]

And I want it

[smoky jasper]

when planet hunting make sure you bring your freighter, it scans whole systems. i jump in, scan, if no paradise or whatever im looking for, warp to next. way faster than going planet to planet

[narrow vigil]

So you asking Google a question is going to return answers from 6, 7 or 8 years ago

[atomic copper]

I do that as well

[viscid mural]

im making very bad investments atm

im just buying all the goobers ships

[atomic copper]

Though my pick is hell holes xD

[narrow vigil]

It's also just a byproduct of how long this game has been going on. And how many changes have been made. And without due diligence to change all the wrong information it just piles up. Making it easy to not get the right answers now

[wet stag]

Reddit bots sucks, though reddit seems to suck anyway. The ghetto of the internet lol

[viscid mural]

can i give ships to my friends

[atomic copper]

Lol Reddit was the base of information back in the 90’s

[narrow vigil]

Yeah

[wet stag]

You have to give them in pieces I think

[ornate jewel]

Yeee that's what I've been doing. I've found quite alot of paradise planets. But i guess im looking for something very specific. But eh the journey is the fun part in my opinion

[viscid mural]

aww

[smoky jasper]

yes

[narrow vigil]

Nope

[viscid mural]

i was going to buy my friend a cool ship

[smoky jasper]

you can

[viscid mural]

how do i do it

[umbral sequoia]

Game has def changed a lot over the years so things mostly just don’t work the same way as in the past.

[narrow vigil]

If you sell a ship to an NPC your friend can buy the ship from that npc. They now own it. If you want the ship back reload your save and it will come back to you

[smoky jasper]

buy it, group up, trade it to a npc, have them buy it from npc

[viscid mural]

so

[wet stag]

Speaking of which, some random player gave my a vulture ship in pieces and that was the only way to gift ships lol. Was nice though.

[viscid mural]

they have to have money for it

[narrow vigil]

Nooe

[viscid mural]

the npc will give them it for free

[narrow vigil]

If I rmember correctly when they buy the ship from the NPC it won't cost them anything

[viscid mural]

oh nice

[smoky jasper]

they need to buy it

according to the last guy i gave a living ship to

[narrow vigil]

Didn't it used to be zero cost if you were flipping shipped like this? Like the other person could just claim it for zero credits

[narrow vigil]

Oh damn. Yeah that didn't used to be a thing

[viscid mural]

i just bought the same ship twice

[smoky jasper]

i did it like 2 weeks ago and it was like 30M

[viscid mural]

how does that make sense

[wet stag]

What if the npc flies off with it lol!

[smoky jasper]

be fast

[narrow vigil]

Whoa. Yeah they did fix it.

[viscid mural]

why is there so many etussy

[narrow vigil]

Back when we were doing multiple living ship trades per day it didn't cost anything to claim for the other person

[wet stag]

Can you gift a corvette?

[narrow vigil]

Nope

[wet stag]

Dang

[narrow vigil]

Only through third party apps

[viscid mural]

why can i buy the same ship from the same guy twice

i bought it on a planet two minutes aggo

now i just bought it on my freighter

[wet stag]

I wasn't getting rid of my Leekage MK1 anyway.

[narrow vigil]

Each system generates a list of ships. And those will be the ones that are always flying around the system at the station and different trade posts

[viscid mural]

oh ok

[narrow vigil]

No new ships are introduced after the system is discovered and loaded in. Nor do any of the ones you see ever go away. They will always be there

[umbral sequoia]

Because it’s cheaper to buy one of a better class than drop mass nanites on upgrading the one you have and the game assumes you’re paying attention to what you’re buying and know when you buy another of the same.

[atomic copper]

Think I will get rid of my capital ship for a star destroyer

[viscid mural]

so this opne will be better class?

[wet stag]

Brb, gotta get cat food

[narrow vigil]

@viscid mural

My space station right now 😂

[viscid mural]

oh ok

same rank

different stats i see

[narrow vigil]

Two B's a C and an A

[viscid mural]

nice

i got two As

of the same thing

[narrow vigil]

That's actually pretty rare. I don't think I've ever seen four of the exact same ship show up at the space station at once.

[viscid mural]

wait i can sell it

[narrow vigil]

Yeah

[umbral sequoia]

That’s something you pay attention to when you buy.

[viscid mural]

and make money than when i bought it lol

[narrow vigil]

You just discovered the profitability of ship flipping

[viscid mural]

i paid 3.4 mil i can scrap for 6,2 mill

thats funny

[narrow vigil]

You can also get storage augments out of it for the ships that you use

[viscid mural]

but i salvaged the hull instead

[narrow vigil]

Flipping ships is a viable source of units and augments

[narrow vigil]

You have a chance for augments but it's not a guarantee. So if you didn't get one this time you might next time

[manic ravine]

I'm such an asshole hahaha

[smoky jasper]

ive seen 2 exotics land at the same time once

[ornate jewel]

DAMN BRO WHAT KINDA SPACE STATION IS THAT??

Never seen that colour scheme. So cool 😭

[manic ravine]

No I found an A class ship and built a box around it

[viscid mural]

someone gave me 500 oxygen earlier lol

[umbral sequoia]

That’s based on game settings if you set purchases to discounted then the game does that.

[viscid mural]

mine is set to default

[manic ravine]

I'm so evil

[warped crescent]

[manic ravine]

And theres a maze to get to it

You gotta beat the maze to get to the ship

[echo iron]

Is there ANY way to make the amount of material you can have per slot in permadeath more tolerable

Do I just gotta

Make like 20 refiners

[still roost]

https://tinyurl.com/

[warped crescent]

ooh...

thanks

[echo iron]

My corvette feels slow but that's probably because I normally use an exotic and this thing is C class

[still roost]

I'm in a miserable part of the galaxy in perma, haven't found a planet yet that's hospitable

[echo iron]

then make it hospitable

❤️

[smoky jasper]

got a foundation, a plan, and a good spot on a perfect earthlike paradise

[opal glade]

I can't seem to get my hands on a walker brain

I've killed like 50 sentinels

[smoky jasper]

how many walkers did you kill

[naive mist]

Walker brain drops only from 2 leg tall sentinel walker. It spawns on wanted lvl 5

[opal glade]

Bruh

I can't kill that

I need to get to a pirate system to outlaw station(expedition), for that i need a walker brain

[naive mist]

U can sometimes find walker brain from autophage scrap on dissonant planets

[opal glade]

I'm stuck

[viscid mural]

has anyone got any spare fighter wings that look cool for sale

[naive mist]

Ask in #nms-lfg-or-trades

[narrow vigil]

Hover your Corvette over the battle. Teleport up to it when your shield breaks and then go down and chip away at the Walker health when it's recharged

[opal glade]

No way dude, I can't even kill level 2 wave

[echo iron]

coolio

[opal glade]

I just need a walker brain for conflict scanner

So I can go to outlaw space station

[keen ginkgo]

Do you have an economy scanner?

[narrow vigil]

You need to focus on some weapon tech.

[echo iron]

Do eco scanners show pirate??

[narrow vigil]

Like it doesn't take much to one shot Sentinels with a neutron cannon

[keen ginkgo]

Yeah, because pirate systems have a skull instead of star level

[brittle marlin]

What happens if you remove a hab that has stuff built in it?

[opal glade]

I'm doing expedition, I just want to finish it

[tulip oar]

They show black market

[brittle marlin]

When editing a corvette, I mean

[echo iron]

Eureka

[narrow vigil]

It deletes the stuff

[keen ginkgo]

Stuff gets unbuilt

[narrow vigil]

And you don't get the materials back if it deletes it that way

[brittle marlin]

You should have some good weapon tech from the rewards

[keen ginkgo]

Except sometimes decorations, which can lead to "disconnected parts"

[echo iron]

For the expedition it seemed to me like editing anything means it's deleted if it's a built thing

[tight topaz]

Hey fellas, I bought this game for my bday two days ago

[brittle marlin]

The scatter blaster you get from that is really good

[tight topaz]

Is there a way to track how many planets you have discovered

[keen ginkgo]

Temporarily

Unless you note them down somewhere outside the game

[tight topaz]

O I see

[brittle marlin]

Damn. I just planted gamma weed and I wanted to redo the core hab part of my ship cause I have enough modules to do so.

[jade vortex]

Can you have more than one freighter?

[brittle marlin]

I shouldn't have planted that but I guess I have no choice but to wait for 4 hours

[tight topaz]

The main thing id like to do in this game is just index and discover as many planets as possible

[keen ginkgo]

You can remove it from the planter

[echo iron]

did they NEED to make extreme planets have storms like half the time

[keen ginkgo]

Gets just the materials used to plant it back

Like get out of the corvette editing view and go into build menu while inside the corvette

[wet stag]

Hai

[echo iron]

Salutations

[wet stag]

Guess I'll be getting back on

[keen ginkgo]

For proper indexing youd wanna do that externally anyway because the in-game discovery menu isnt very organized, lol

[wet stag]

How you doin? You're new aren't you?

[blazing wraith]

I did that for a loong time: due to a bug (since fixed) I was trapped in a bubble of space in Euclid from 2016 to 2020 when I developed a workaround to repair my damaged save). While I was trapped, I discovered planets and moons and built bases, eventually hitting the max base number (400) in that save.

[echo iron]

new to the server yeah

I'm fine

[tight topaz]

Yoo that's so awesome

[echo iron]

playing permadeath and getting ragebaited by stack limits

[tight topaz]

Are there any dedicated groups to just exploration?

[wet stag]

Cool! Not new to nms though? I'm still fairly new to the game but I'm getting a hang of it lol

[blazing wraith]

Lol, by design 😉

[echo iron]

Got like 139 hours I think

Maybe 140

Permadeath is better for me though because I'm basically playing creative on my main besides a few missing things

I should build something big on my main

[jade vortex]

Can you have more than one freighter?

[keen ginkgo]

No

[tight topaz]

How many hours have you played nms for?

[wet stag]

203.6 lol

So far

[tight topaz]

Oh that's a lot lmao

I'm like three or four hours in

[wet stag]

Almost double grevious'

I've binged it a lot though there were times where I just left it open so maybe minus 24x2 or something lol

[tight topaz]

Ohh that makes sense

Still if you feel like ur new after so many hours then there must be a lot to learn in the game

[wet stag]

Mainly for refining and settlement testing. But that poor settlement is probably already dead lol. My biggest regret.

[narrow vigil]

Played since year one and I still pick up new things I see talked about in #nms-questions

[echo iron]

settlements are so cancer

[keen ginkgo]

I dont think settlements can fully die

[tight topaz]

That's really cool

[echo iron]

like dawg what do you mean I have to wait an hour to make another decision have me make like 3 of them at least

[keen ginkgo]

If your only experience with them was in creative, that makes sense

[wet stag]

They just rack up way more debt don't they?

[keen ginkgo]

Well, I think they can also lose population, but I dont think ive ever heard of one losing all population

[echo iron]

no it was normal

[wet stag]

I like settlements though, but it's something I gotta really prepare for.

[keen ginkgo]

Survival or normal? Lol

[echo iron]

I meant normal 😔

[keen ginkgo]

I feel like the decisions happen faster than an hour

[opal glade]

If i make changes to my copied multitool in expedition, will it copy to main save?

[keen ginkgo]

Building and upgrading though definitely takes longer

[echo iron]

Feels like an hour

[keen ginkgo]

You will be able to copy from expedition to main save

[keen ginkgo]

If something takes waiting time, then dont wait for it, do another thing

[opal glade]

What if I don't want to copy

[keen ginkgo]

You would want to

[echo iron]

I should've got an exotic before investing into my solar so much

[wet stag]

Man my corvette ship is so cool lol. I managed to build a decent looking ship

[echo iron]

I gotta go to a salvage planet and get corvette parts

[opal glade]

I mean no I'm dismantling some OP stuff, coz I have to increase damage and I don't have enough slots

[keen ginkgo]

Oh, it wont change the tool on your main save

[smoky jasper]

finally decided to learn properly math'd out pyramids for the bottom part of a base im gonna build

[echo iron]

Radon sodium silver gold magnetized ferrite cobalt sulphurine dioxite oxygen and nitrogen

It's

Not enough

[keen ginkgo]

Hmm?

[echo iron]

Was looking at my bases

That's everything I have automated

Oh and activated quartzite

[wet stag]

I had to have grinded about 6 times and traded for part about 50 times lol

[keen ginkgo]

Im more confused at it being not enough

[echo iron]

It just ain't everything

So it ain't enough

[keen ginkgo]

You can use refiner alchemy to get the rest of stuff from what you have

[echo iron]

also yaya I found an A level uranium spot

at a base I already have set up

[keen ginkgo]

Ooh, nice

[echo iron]

is there a way to refine basalt

[keen ginkgo]

Yes

[echo iron]

Wait really how

[keen ginkgo]

Pyrite or phosphorus and magnetized ferrite

[echo iron]

eureka

[keen ginkgo]

Granted, refining cant be truly automated

But I find it works well enough for my needs, at least

Theres only a couple things that cant be refined if you dont have some to start with

The stellar metals, gasses, oxygen, and sodium mainly

[echo iron]

I think the game just told me I have 1688 metal platings

My main problem is that I have too much stuff and don't wanna organize

Speaking of how do I give people butterfly eggs

[naive mist]

Then dont. Just discard them

[echo iron]

but I like hoarding

[echo iron]

Yeah methane and basalt aren't the most common ingredients

[keen ginkgo]

This reminds me how I usually refine junk items to nanites, but in my permadeath save ive taken to just discarding them because they take up too much inventory space and take too long to refine to nanites

[opal glade]

I ran out of ammo

[keen ginkgo]

Craft more

[opal glade]

How

Let me check

[keen ginkgo]

By... crafting it

It costs ferrite dust

[keen ginkgo]

Methane can be made from the other 3 gasses

[echo iron]

I tried refining platinum into nanites but it took so long

[echo iron]

Checked the wiki

🥹

[keen ginkgo]

Those atmospheric gasses cannot be refined unless you have one or more to start with

[echo iron]

I have all three

[keen ginkgo]

Even then its at a loss, from what I can tell
