heres a among us code: EOTVEG

[proper tendon]

I gib 10 million units

[tardy grove]

BLAKKEEEE

Spot

[white bluff]

Hey, hey- !

[tardy grove]

Exploring a fine desert I see

I prefer them with blue skies

And honey 🍯

[white bluff]

I like deserts. Fo sho.

[tardy grove]

Lots of it heh!

My favorite desert doesn’t exist tho, it would be this^^

[white bluff]

Not honey!!!!!

Noooooo

[tardy grove]

But a giant snakkeeee snakkeee

[tardy grove]

And duuuunnneeesss

[keen ginkgo]

I remember my first spawnworld had a somewhat closer look to this back then

[tardy grove]

I have a honey desert with big blue crystal scorpion like bugs it‘s quite cool, my headcanon is that they are drawn to the honey plants there

[keen ginkgo]

Its quite different now, though its remained a desert after all these years

[white bluff]

My first spawn world was a winter world with leafy trees and some long-necked fauna.

[jovial isle]

i am not going to forget that 1st world i landed on that had worms... its quite an experience..

[tardy grove]

I think my og spawn world was toxic

On my new main it was frozen

[keen ginkgo]

Bruh your first spawn world had diplos!

[white bluff]

https://www.flickr.com/photos/blakespot/28437885603/in/album-72157672505552246

[tardy grove]

I wish I still had my day 1 save

[jovial isle]

i<d just never move 😛
Lives out his existence on that 1st world

[tardy grove]

Rly wanna go check what‘s become of my 1st system

[white bluff]

That might be my first PC spawn world --- I started on PS4 on launch day then built a PC for the game a month later.

[keen ginkgo]

That was basically my first save

[white bluff]

It's prob gone to hell -- protogeks with tiny wings flying around and such. A silly place.

[tardy grove]

Can I friend you on Steam blake?

[white bluff]

Sure thing.

[river phoenix]

Wonder if I could get my launch save off my PS4... I switched to PC when Beyond came out and haven't touched my original save since. Might be too old to open now

[tardy grove]

Yay

[jovial isle]

i still havent decided where to place a permanent base...
i found one nice planet, but its just too cute and quiet for my tastes : P

[tardy grove]

I love looking at your screenshots, I hope you publish another article soon lol.

The wild base computer one was actually quite helpful for me.

I tend to always look for wbc‘s, but wasn‘t sure if they rly spawned on every world

[keen ginkgo]

Maybe one of these days I'll properly progress my original save

[white bluff]

Well, when you build your homestead, maybe keep an eye out for random geysers -- I discovered these while resting after completing the build...

[keen ginkgo]

Resettle on that desert world, for all its flaws

[jovial isle]

Ahaha ! noted !

[white bluff]

Glad to hear and thanks. I just published my first blog post in a year (on another blog of mine), so a NMS post on NMSspot is soon to come.

[tardy grove]

I heard of a case where someone downgraded their ps version and suddenly had access to old saves.

[tardy grove]

I love these huge palm thingies

Need to find a nice blue sky desert with those

[tardy grove]

But I manually deleted my og save, so probably no chance

[river phoenix]

I actually managed to get back to my original starting planet at one point, on a totally different save on a totally different platform.

[tardy grove]

I don‘t know why I did it, just felt like going fully fresh for NEXT

[tardy grove]

How, did you have any coords or just per chance?

Ig there is a tiny tiny chance since the noob belts limit where we can spawn

When starting new saves I almost always spawn in already discovered systems now

[river phoenix]

Left, starting planet in August 2016, PS4. Right, same planet in August 2024, PC. Not exactly the same spot, but close enough

[tardy grove]

Ayy, looking forward to see what it‘s about, no spoilers plz

It looked a bit friendlier in 2016 with the trees and all

[jovial isle]

the 1st time i found an already discovered planet, i alt+f4 xD
i thought i had run out of unexplored system already.
turns out i had found a system with the atlas and a portal, so others had been there.

[river phoenix]

Had coords of somewhere fairly close stashed away. From those I was able to track down the first Atlas station I ever visited, which was useful because I coincidentally got the trophy for my 5th warp when I found it so my PS4 took a screenshot. From there I just scrolled through nearby discovered systems in the discovery list until I found it.

[tardy grove]

Oh wow the stars truly aligned for you there.

I unfortunately didn‘t start taking screenshots until later on my 2nd save 😔

[white bluff]

My base on the last day of Atlas Rises, and then on the first day of NEXT, back in 2018...

[jovial isle]

(that was a cool looking base)

[tardy grove]

I think I saw a video of you doing the base tour for that desert one lol

[white bluff]

Hah, I did a video tour and posted, yep.

🙂

[tardy grove]

Atlas Rises deserts were peak ngl, the color saturation was on point

I had already found an almost perfect honey desert last year I think but it was on a temporal save and I lost the coords…it had huge rings and a blue sky, don‘t rly remember the fauna

But I‘m sure I‘ll find an equal one soon, a ruined desert would probs also be rly cool.

I need to check out the purple systems in my sector.

[jovial isle]

is it a common practice to explore systems around your starting point, or do people pick a direction and explore that way, in general? just curious

[rapid girder]

How to find blueprints?

[jovial isle]

im just a noob, but so far, ive been getting them from the base building quest, and the anomaly
(actually buying them all on the anomaly, but i think the quest gives them out for free)

[rapid girder]

Not the one from anomaly, I mean blueprints for tradeable products

like lemmium

[safe tendon]

Tbh, it's hard to say. I know that there are people who will spend a lot of time discovering every system in one galactic region.

Some people just hop around, not necessarily in any specific direction, looking for specific things.

There are different ways people approach exploration, and I don't know which one would be the most popular.

I usually hop around, either looking for something with a specific characteristic, say, a planet with something I need for some project or idea, or just randomly looking for inspiration for pictures

[rapid girder]

Nice

[jovial isle]

thanks for the response. my discord game is off because i cant <thumb up> comments : P ill get used to it..

[vapid plaza]

While every creature/plant/biome/etc combination is theoretically possible everywhere, there are THEMES is certain areas of the galaxy map. So exploring WIDE has the benefit of improving your diversity in what you see.

[jovial isle]

thats good to know..!

[river phoenix]

Space anomaly, this thing. Can also get them free from manufacturing facilities but not really worth the trouble imo

[vapid plaza]

You'll find that a lot of black hole systems are also explored / or at least discovered.

Fun fact: The same ORIGIN point of a black hole always leads to the same DESTINATION point, so the other end of the black hole is likely to be discovered too.

[rapid girder]

I see, I'll check it out. Thought I already bought everything from it though

[vapid plaza]

rememebr to tab over

[proper tendon]

We need an interspecies Gek/Vy'keen romance story. Heal the rift

Lmfao

[silver night]

Nomad parking 101

[rapid girder]

How many shots do you think this orange guy can survive?

I want to know

[jovial isle]

this guy is normally a collateral dmg, when i do those missions.. : P
photon cannons are a pretty popular choice, arent they?

all your good looking corvettes are making me feel bad now. i rebuilt mine yesterday to be barebone, small and nimble... it looks nothing like those cool ships :`

[rapid girder]

xD

I am using infra knife + rockets + photon cannon

But only infra knife gets upgrades

It's inefficient

I think I might switch over to photon cannon entirely

[jovial isle]

i switched from photon to infra knife yesterday, i didnt have a chance to really test it, but so far, i didnt notice that much of a difference

[river phoenix]

Being trying a cyclotron and rocket build recently

rockets are a little underpowered if you're not using a corvette though

[rapid girder]

On a corvette?

I find my infra knife inaccurate at long distances

[jovial isle]

yes, corvette

[rapid girder]

Or is it my position placement?

[vapid plaza]

I'm still rebuilding them relatively often. It's a learnign process.
Remember to decide if you're going angular, or chibi or how much space you wantt oroam, etc before you start.

[rapid girder]

Lemme find some sentinels to test

[jovial isle]

i was also less accurate with the infraknife

[rapid girder]

I see, so it's not juts me

But photon cannon's more accurate at any distance, might be a bonus there

[jovial isle]

im having a lot of fun chatting about NMS. thanks all the Devs and players who kept this game going and improving all these years.
i gtg, talk to yall later : )

[keen ginkgo]

Infra knife has slower projectiles than pretty much all the other starship weapons

[rapid girder]

I feel like the issue is with the targetting system than the weapon

Cyclotron is even slower, yet it hits accurate

[keen ginkgo]

Using auto target?

[rapid girder]

Yeah

I don't manual aim

[keen ginkgo]

Cyclotron fires slower, its projectiles are faster than infra knife

[rapid girder]

fair

[keen ginkgo]

Thats where auto aim lacks

It doesnt adjust the lead it gives based on the weapon

[last current]

You have to lead the target more with Infraknife. The bullets are slow and fall behind the target.

[limpid magnet]

Lmao this is the difference between my PC and my laptop. Its the same location

[celest hornet]

Which ship weapon would y'all say Is best for shields

[keen ginkgo]

For most of them, it works well enough, but for infra knife and phase beam, it misses

[rapid girder]

infra knife and cyclotron

[last current]

Phase beam and cyclotron

[rapid girder]

Maybe the difference is less with corvette weapon

[keen ginkgo]

Cyclotron does the most damage against shields

[celest hornet]

Welppp after I get myself some echo locators for a shockingly cheap price, I'm gonna sell off some interceptors and make an S class fighter

Just gotta find the best parts

[rapid girder]

Not as profitable as farming rescue battle

[celest hornet]

Actually what are yalls favorite fighter wing types?

[last current]

Only looks matter when building your own.

[rapid girder]

You get 6,767,000 credits from a rescue battle which takes 30-50s per battle

[limpid magnet]

do you guys know a way to unlock galactic teleportation instantly after spawning or do I need to beat the game in ALL of my saves to do it?

[last current]

Do you mean portals?

[limpid magnet]

yes

[celest hornet]

Yeahhh but selling off a c class interceptor nets you around 36 mil and doesn't take too long if you blow up some capital ships for the ai whatevers

[limpid magnet]

i call it that bc there are too many types of portals

[celest hornet]

It points you straight to a crash site

[last current]

!faq-portal in #nms-commands channel has a guide.

[celest hornet]

And everything you need to get it operational ain't too far

[glacial merlin]

creating a versus pokemon system when duping and such is allowed is pretty wild tbh

[celest hornet]

Wait duping is allowed?

[glacial merlin]

duping is legal on a multiplayer game lol

[rapid girder]

Yeah but you need to get the echo locator, then broadcast it, go to the ship site, fix it, deliver it to space station, take way too long for 36mil

[safe tendon]

36mil is something around mid range, but still more than a rescue battle, extreme low end and is way above 10mil iirc

[celest hornet]

Now that's why you support players that actually farm their resources by buying from them!

[blazing wraith]

Never been patched out, nor save editing either.

[glacial merlin]

how are you going to add competitive versus matches but you allowed to edit save files, dupe items, etc?

[safe tendon]

Can go much higher if you find one with a lot of slots

[glacial merlin]

its not fair.

[celest hornet]

I mean that's what I do when I'm too lazy to go farming

I just buy from people with salvaged data

[rapid girder]

Whereas in a rescue battle, you take 15 seconds to defeat the dreadnaught, then spend another 15-20 seconds to demand tribute from the captain, and warp away

Much faster

[glacial merlin]

almost like the game caters to desktop players specifically, zero support for console

been begging for 6 years for MNK SUPPORT on console

or even atleast text chat

but no, we get pokemon

[celest hornet]

Yeah but tbf the console ports have to be pretty limited

[glacial merlin]

HG went back to their old ways, lacking brains

[last current]

What's mnk

[celest hornet]

There are more stricter rules imposed by Microsoft, PlayStation and especially Nintendo

[glacial merlin]

mouse and keyboard

[safe tendon]

You can limit who you play with to only friends and/or vetted people from a community. There is no global leaderboard. It sucks that you can run into someone who has just save edited a pet when you are looking for a fair duel and it definitely isn't fun, but NMS was and still is at its core a singleplayer game.

[glacial merlin]

thats not why console is limited

[glacial merlin]

good luck finding a fair duel

[celest hornet]

If you wanted to dupe on console you'd probably have to jailbreak it

[glacial merlin]

HG just has really bad priorties

[rapid girder]

Nah I think their priorities are straight

[last current]

OK, I've only ever known that abbreviated as kbm.

[celest hornet]

Genuinely what are you talking about? HG has been cooking ever since they locked in around 2020

[glacial merlin]

if we dont get proper support for console for 10th annivesary, im done playing

[rapid girder]

Why not just get a pc or a laptop

[glacial merlin]

ignorant take

[keen ginkgo]

Theres only two, tbh

[celest hornet]

I play on switch 2 and honestly the only annoying thing is the somewhat constant crashing on the anomaly

[safe tendon]

No, duplication glitch is just unintended behaviour of game elements that results in duplication of items. A lot of games has some form of duplication glitch and as it usually requires a very specific process to accomplish it ends up being very low priority in single player/cp-op games as players can just ignore it. It can be done on console

[rapid girder]

I mean, I don't see any reasons why you should play on a console.

[glacial merlin]

some people cant afford a gaming pc...

[celest hornet]

Oh yeah you're right, just remembered that old cyberpunk duplication glitch from a few years ago on xbox

[glacial merlin]

wanna buy one?

[safe tendon]

Game is sold on consoles, people have consoles. What more do you need?

[rapid girder]

PC markets are always selling more than console market

[keen ginkgo]

I feel like consoles should have mouse and keyboard as a general thing by now, it confuses me that games would need to implement it themselves

[safe tendon]

So? If someone has a console then I don't see what market has to do with that?

[glacial merlin]

being forced to voicechat bc no text chat on console

[celest hornet]

Thing is lots of other console ports for PC games do have text chat, I dunno why NMS ports dont

[glacial merlin]

wild

[rapid girder]

You don't need a gaming pc to play games. Consoles are basically just amd CPUs with games anyway.

[safe tendon]

It might be your preferance to use PC, somebody's preferance is console or console is what they already have

let people play their games on what they have or want

[glacial merlin]

mostly money is why

[keen ginkgo]

I wonder of it has something to do with console tos?

[glacial merlin]

i bought a gaming pc in 2020 and it was stolen in 2021 :c

never again

[safe tendon]

Could be, I have heard people mention a need for active moderation and I have also seen discussions online about developers axing text chats because they would have to make them compliant with some disability/accessibly acts applying to digital media. Could be that for this or that reason it doesn't apply to PC. Idk, I'm not very well versed in the law around that or any law for that matter.

[limpid magnet]

so... best way to find a paradise planet? I'm lookiing for a blue sky, ringed, moutainus terrain paradise planet and have been for a few months.

[safe tendon]

Keep trying

Best advice I can give

[keen ginkgo]

Might as well ask the best way to get a particular hand of 8 cards

[celest hornet]

..I got a purple paradise in my home system

Like my first

[minor spindle]

I love my gek citizens but why are they so dang stupid 😭

[safe tendon]

Keep trying and remember that you can multiply your money many-fold while you can only lose 100% of it.

[limpid magnet]

now this is some advice

ive only been warping to water systems

i also hope that its a korvax system

[keen ginkgo]

The more specifications you add, the lower your odds

[limpid magnet]

what galaxy has the most paradise planets

in a universe with 19.5 quintillaion planets, my odds will never be zero, only small

[safe tendon]

A fairy

[keen ginkgo]

Only some 4-ish quadrillion planets

But let me put it this way

[limpid magnet]

no no its possible

for all those planets

according to the seed

[keen ginkgo]

What are the odds of getting 4 heads in a row when flipping a coin?

[limpid magnet]

but only a small amount of them are generated at the moment

pretty small

the probablity splits each time

i think

[keen ginkgo]

A small amount of them are active

[safe tendon]

An ominous polyhedron.

[limpid magnet]

active vs generated?

[keen ginkgo]

Yes

Generated would be found, right?

[limpid magnet]

we havent discovered that many

so yes

[keen ginkgo]

Yes

[limpid magnet]

and no

but there isnt a limit in there

[keen ginkgo]

But out of the ones we can actually discover, only 4-ish quadrillion are possible

[limpid magnet]

if we discovered one far out

it would render, right?

[keen ginkgo]

The 18 quintillion number comes from the total possible planets the game engine can support in generating

[limpid magnet]

so yea

[pastel scarab]

Got a +100% warp cell efficiency upgrade from a suspicious package or whatever teh ship one is

[limpid magnet]

possibnle

[keen ginkgo]

If every star in every galaxy were active with every planet it could have

[pastel scarab]

I can now do 10 warps per full drive

[keen ginkgo]

But this isnt the case

[livid dagger]

henlo fellow space travelers

[limpid magnet]

are you serious? Yet another system i just warped to has already been discovered. I thought the universe was big, so why cant i just get away from the spawn ring into deep interstellar space already!

[ivory heath]

6,25%

[limpid magnet]

🤓

[naive mist]

100% with unlimited amount of flips

[celest hornet]

Okay guys can somebody please give me advice for my freighter city? As in help with the sections.. I already got hydroponics and storage figured out.. but where should I put fleet command, exocraft summoner, trader terminal and refiner?

In my main base or in a separate building?

[limpid magnet]

@jolly sable

[fleet bobcat]

i have a harmonic brain and once activated it from me to an alantium alien structure but no place to put the brain in

[celest hornet]

Just interact with it and it should harmonize it

[ivory heath]

fair nuff tbh

[blazing wraith]

Command Rooms you likely will interact with a lot, and the Trade Terminal rooms, so make them easy to get to when teleporting in. Most other things you don't interact with or use remotely anyway.

[fleet bobcat]

didnt give me any prompt to put the brain in, just a vision and a new word

[celest hornet]

Weird

[river phoenix]

try going up or down. The spawn ring only has so much vertical thickness and people don't think to go in those directions when they spread out from it

[jolly sable]

fleet command and scanner room as close to ur actual freighter birdge for usability
trader terminal somewhat near
refiner and exocraft really doesnt matter allat much

[celest hornet]

Hmmm might put those on the second floor of my main base then

[limpid magnet]

So close yet so far to finding two planets clipping into one another. no im not on a moon

[celest hornet]

You can unlock a teleporter room right?

[limpid magnet]

thanks

[safe tendon]

Here is a tour of my freighter base and how I solved those problems, I hope it helps

[celest hornet]

That's actually pretty sick, but I more meant.. sections separated by catwalks

individual buildings

[safe tendon]

I don't build much on fraighters, I'm more of a planet base type of guy

[scenic canyon]

That’s entirely up to you tbh

I had it all in one place originally and I just updated it to make it separate buildings with an outside walkway between them and even an upper floor

[scenic canyon]

How did you do the stairs under the teleporter?

[safe tendon]

I like uploading my bases, even if no one visits them for a long while, sometimes people do and it feels nice that they can do it without me having to be there

[jolly sable]

wanna know how i solved those issues

[scenic canyon]

I visit a lot of bases

[limpid magnet]

Man this homework stuff is hard

[scenic canyon]

When I get close to the galaxy core, I actually look for bases with a cool name and visit them.
It’s unfortunate there’s no way to let people know you’ve been there, maybe I should upload more screenshots here on the off chance they’re in the server

[limpid magnet]

wdym? yes there is

[keen ginkgo]

What are the odds of flipping a heads, tails, heads, tails?

[limpid magnet]

it tells others if you've visted it

[safe tendon]

A bit of glitch building. Cache pin glitch (you pin a recipe from catalogue and guide and than have to do couple more things) to have regular teleporter instead of teleporter room and sliding glitch (you move your mouse quickly from a position where stairs can be build to where you want them to be but can't normally be, if you are fast enough you can build them before they turn red)

[limpid magnet]

i found a paradise with red oceans and blue sky, then i found one with red sky and blue oceans. I cant have either. this game is rage baiting me on purpose

[jolly sable]

heres how i fixed the issue with stuff being too far away from my teleporter

[limpid magnet]

I FOUND

a PARADISE

MOON

after years of searching

its so tiny too 🥺

im so close to the surface and i can still see the curvature

[unborn dagger]

i have a question whats fun about the game when u play solo

[limpid magnet]

space exploration, imagining youre surviving on a space mission like hail mary, doing the main quest, building bases, building corvettes

[keen ginkgo]

Most of the same stuff, imo

[unborn dagger]

no like i want to buy the game but before i buy is it fun

after a long time

[limpid magnet]

well

[keen ginkgo]

Id say so

[limpid magnet]

that greatly depends on you

[keen ginkgo]

Keep in mind that its an exploration sandbox first and foremost

[jolly sable]

honestly mostly breaking it and having fun

[unborn dagger]

what do u mean breaking it

[scenic canyon]

It does? Where?

[jolly sable]

here was my most recent silly experience

[limpid magnet]

if youve landed on the planet it will say to other players [planet name] discovered by [your username in NMS]

[keen ginkgo]

Theyre asking about bases, not planets

I really hope they overhaul comm balls

[dark ginkgo]

This goes hard

[safe tendon]

Idea of people being able to leave message for others is super neat, but execution in form of communication stations was atrocious.

[keen ginkgo]

The primary issue being permanence

[safe tendon]

[exotic bone]

Anyone had this happen in the Anomaly? I've only seen that the last two times I've played 😭

[keen ginkgo]

I can understand comm stations not being able to be deconstructed by other players to an extent, but not even by the one who built it?

[limpid magnet]

nope

idk whas goign on there

[dark ginkgo]

Ayy your character is having fun

if I buy the spawning cowl hood from the quicksilver synthesis companion, can I only wear it if I make my traveller a gek?

I'll put in a ticket ofc, but was curious if it was just me. Game generally seems a lot laggier for some reason.

[keen ginkgo]

Yes

[limpid magnet]

[scenic canyon]

I have one like this but pink

[dark ginkgo]

[safe tendon]

To grab a snack

[tardy grove]

Don‘t make me hungry I already ate enough, and even healthily!

[scenic canyon]

Sometimes you just start kinda aimlessly wandering around in between updates

I quit for a few years, I’m only now getting back into it mainly because I got a friend to start playing and I helped out at the beginning

[tardy grove]

It‘s a sandbox so that‘s natural

Besides the initial questlines, we‘ve always had to make our own content sorta

HG just added more toys for that.

[scenic canyon]

Yeah I like what they did with the settlements

[tardy grove]

Yeh, I still need to go look for planets for mine

[keen ginkgo]

I remember my longest break being due to a story update that left me rather confused about my progression

The old space anomaly questline was much more tied to progression when I started playing

When the anomaly was updated to be huge, the storyline changed and I wasnt sure where I left off

[scenic canyon]

Oh yeah that’s happened a few times that I stopped the game at the wrong moment and I was so confused when I came back

[tardy grove]

NADA NADA NADA

We did get a lot of guidance from them

Before even meeting them

In the og storyline

I loooovveed the early game of og NMS tbh, I kinda dislike having to deal with all of the Artemis stuff on new saves right away

I mean I could not, but what kind of asshole would my char be to just let Artemis waste away in their miserable state, and generally to ignore a distress signal?

Smh

is there railing for bases?

[keen ginkgo]

For balconies or stairs?

[limpid magnet]

the former

[tardy grove]

I mean, they already have Nada.

No need to go that far^^

[last current]

NMS works well in VR, it's fun and not vertigo inducing. On-foot movement is different though, it's the only time I use RocketBoots.

[livid dagger]

rocketboots?:0

[limpid magnet]

they are like the jet pack but on your feet

the thrust you forward instead of upwards

and are automatic sometimes

[livid dagger]

oooh an in game item
awesome!

[abstract iris]

Either your Gek or your not!

[icy rivet]

I always change VR movement and turning to smooth instead of teleporting and snap turning.

So much better

It’s a great VR game

[livid dagger]

cant wait to fly in space in vr

[tidal vapor]

do i have to worry about losing reputation if it's just with one race? i want to do some piracy

[icy rivet]

Up to you

[visual flame]

is this the official discord for NMS ?

[icy rivet]

Can reset reputation with a forged passport

!officialdiscord

[lime haven]

-# to view info below, enable embeds

The game's developer HelloGames.org links to our Discord, officially acknowledging it as the No Man's Sky Discord (https://discord.gg/nomanssky). However, the server is 100% run by community volunteers...

[keen ginkgo]

Did you forget?

Nada was rather closed off at the time, dealing with their own issues

[tardy grove]

Mhm

[keen ginkgo]

Theres short walls that work

[tulip oar]

meow meow

[tardy grove]

Yknow, I loved the lil‘ clap the NPC‘s did back then when you got their approval during an interaction.

And the Korvax lights turned green I think.

[limpid magnet]

thats what ive been using

oh well

[keen ginkgo]

Alternatively, theres barricades

[tardy grove]

I‘m sry Arti Polo can‘t have you, should I ever come across you I‘ll use a spell to turn you into my personal lore compendium to carry around

Guys my NMS Burnout is so bad it makes me not want to look into Subnautica 2 😔

Cuz the vibes between the two games are kinda similar

[limpid magnet]

hmm should i make the world trade center for me and my friend to live in each building?

[silver night]

Gunter heartLouvred the massacre of a blob... Baad Gunter 🙂 #nms-photomode-gallery message

[naive mist]

Then play totaly diffrent vibe game

[tardy grove]

That‘s the plan but it also sucks cuz Sub2 early access is hyyypeee!

[naive mist]

Im not a fan of early access

[tardy grove]

And I wanna be part of the traaainn, that‘s what I‘ve been conditioned to.

[limpid magnet]

then wait until it releases fully 🤯

[naive mist]

And subnatica sold so good that they should not need early access imo

[tardy grove]

Early Access is cheaper price tho

[naive mist]

Yes. Imo wait for 1.0

Anyways

Rock

[tardy grove]

Pretty underwater rock

Subnautica vibes grrr

[limpid magnet]

i ju8st bought subnautica and havent played it yet. is it like nms?

[tulip oar]

good morning

[naive mist]

Meow meow

[tribal leaf]

did any of you catch all the pokechus yet

[tardy grove]

I‘ll go to sleep in like 2 hours from now on 🙂

Timezones are WILD

[limpid magnet]

crazy how there are time zones naturally in NMS too

[naive mist]

Crazy how all planets rotate with same speed

[limpid magnet]

well thats hard to not make

because you'd have to get a whole engine to simulate every body moving at a different rate

[keen ginkgo]

Actually... no

Well maybe

Iirc it was planned, but some sort of complication made it difficult

[limpid magnet]

this is why we need an NMS 2

so it can have that

[tardy grove]

In a decade or two maybe.

But Sean said he could imagine updating NMS for another 10 years ssoooo.

Not that it was literally literal, but yeah.

[keen ginkgo]

Those things are rather tough to implement

[tardy grove]

I actually don‘t want another 10 years of updates cuz then the cycle of bugs will never end!

[naive mist]

Just setting diffeent clock speeds would not be too hard imo

[keen ginkgo]

That wouldnt work though

Cause its the skybox that rotates rn, not the planets

[naive mist]

Then Synch skybox with clock?

[keen ginkgo]

Changing between planets?

[naive mist]

I know

[keen ginkgo]

What about multiplayer?

[river phoenix]

Day and night cycle needs to sync across the whole 'server' which is system sized

[tribal leaf]

if we try to ride our exocrafts inside the space station does the space professor yell at us

[naive mist]

Same outcome when players on same planets . Cant pause game in photomode when in multiplayer anyways

[tribal leaf]

im suprsied they dont have any boimed planets

biomed

[keen ginkgo]

But what youre saying is to have the clock speed change based on planet

So if two players are in the same system, but different planets, how fast does the clock go?

[keen ginkgo]

Wdym?

[tribal leaf]

planets that are more than all snow or all fire or whatever

[limpid magnet]

do you guys think Sean likes space

[silver night]

Cute rainforest

[keen ginkgo]

I tend to give an answer that is not what people mean, though it is true

[tribal leaf]

what

[keen ginkgo]

Technically planets have more than one biome

Im fairly sure that the distribution of plants even changes based on elevation

[river phoenix]

technically, though I'm pretty sure 90% of plants use the same elevation settings

big thing is slopes, different plants have very different tolerances for those

[naive mist]

Difrently per planet (the time of day with skybox movement) . Game time clock (save time) would be still the same.

[keen ginkgo]

But thats already what it is?

[river phoenix]

Think of the time of day as the position of the sun. No matter where you are in the system, the sun is in the same place. The day and night cycle is determined by how fast the sun moves. If the sun moved at different speeds on different planets, the day and night cycle wouldn't stay synced because the sun would be in different places after the same amount of time, depending on what planet you're on

[keen ginkgo]

Yeah, thats what I mean

If that were the case in multiplayer, two players going into space from different planets would have different appearing skyboxes

[river phoenix]

It's the same reason that the sun doesn't stop moving when you go to space anymore, even though it used to before NEXT

[limpid magnet]

my skyscraper base is so tall that i have birds inside it now

[naive mist]

Not really. No whole day in 2min or 24h lasting whole week planets . All planets have same day time clock speed

[limpid magnet]

hey what are we talking about?

[keen ginkgo]

I thought by game clock you meant the one that displays the time when youre on a planet

[limpid magnet]

the sun is part of the skybox and moves steadily for all planets, it would be hard to change that and if you did, you'd need to alter the planets, not the sun

[tulip oar]

how is everyone today

[naive mist]

Yes. And his speed should be diffrent on those planets if day takes whole week no? Or time should be displayed and counted difrently .
99min need to past per h for example

[naive mist]

Alive.

[tulip oar]

very nice

[limpid magnet]

speak for yourself

[keen ginkgo]

But if thats the case, and the skybox speed changes based on planets, what determines when it changes and when it might sync?

[naive mist]

Entering planet atmosphere i guess.

[silver night]

And what do you want lil' bug?

[keen ginkgo]

That could result in trying to land on a planet's dayside and it suddenly switching to night

[limpid magnet]

that thing is begger than the bills i have to pay

[keen ginkgo]

Which would be annoying

[rigid burrow]

Anyone wanna just play n talk?

[naive mist]

Welp ..its ready happening from what i see when playing mp..so nothing would change from my perspective

[naive mist]

Try asking in #nms-lfg-or-trades

[silver night]

The real big ones of these spawn stuck together, making an abomination 🙂

[keen ginkgo]

Or it would flash back and forth, as your client applies the time for the other planet, and then connects to the server

[silver night]

Tis only 5.8m

[river phoenix]

The only real way to have variable day/nights is for Hello Games to finally pull the trigger on making planets rotate on their own axis instead of rotating the skybox

unfortunately, that's not tech they need for Light No Fire so if we do ever get it, it won't be soon

[naive mist]

If ever

[keen ginkgo]

I wonder if the varying skybox was how they tested different planet day/night cycles, and thats why it wouldve been confusing for playtesters

Its the dang problem with design and optimization

Sacrifices in some areas must be made for others to be better

I dont think any of the space games I've played with similar planet stuff as nms have varying day/night cycles as well

[celest hornet]

Slowly increasing my productivity in my desert settlement, building a pump tower rn

I'm focusing on productivity until I can start decreasing debt

[keen ginkgo]

Do not forget to upgrade buildings

[celest hornet]

Already have a B class warehouse and farm unit

B class office too

[keen ginkgo]

Office is easiest to get to s class

[tardy grove]

Desert Settlement

[visual dawn]

hi

[celest hornet]

Pump tower is gonna be the last building before I start upgrading all of them

[tardy grove]

Gosh I cannot decide where to put my autophage settlement!

[naive mist]

Perfect for vykeen

[keen ginkgo]

Im fairly sure that housing/entertainment buildings have a more efficient productivity/cost ratio with higher class, but they never result in having more production than upkeep

[tardy grove]

It could look good on a jungle, frozen or desert world.

[celest hornet]

Arent those locked to dissonant planets?

[keen ginkgo]

Pfffft

Nah

[naive mist]

Lush? Shame that we can put them on glitch planets

[keen ginkgo]

Kinda funny twist, regarding the autophage

[celest hornet]

you can put an autophage settlement on normal planets?

Aren't they like.. super secretive?

[keen ginkgo]

Yes

[naive mist]

And we cant have settlements on planets with syntetic fauna

[tardy grove]

If even that were the case (which it isn‘t), dissonant isn‘t a biome, dissonant planets still operate under the core biomes just with dissonance on top of it

[keen ginkgo]

Theyre so good at it, you dont even notice they've been around this whole time

[celest hornet]

Yet they're willing to setup camp literally anywhere?

A secretive race willing to just post up anywhere

[keen ginkgo]

Have you found any yet?

[tardy grove]

Honestly an autophage settlement on a marsh planet would also be a vibe

[celest hornet]

Almost done with the main quest

[keen ginkgo]

Then theyre hiding rather well

[tardy grove]

The futuristic contrasting with the wilderness…

[celest hornet]

I'm on the gek cartographer part

[river phoenix]

I was starting a new permadeath run recently, and I found an autophage settlement before even leaving my starting planet. Couldn't see any NPCs in it and obviously couldn't claim it, but it was cool to find

[celest hornet]

Went through Vy'keen and Korvax already

[keen ginkgo]

Chances are, youve walked past them dozens of times by now

[celest hornet]

Yeah probably

[tardy grove]

Yeh the same happened to me, it was kinda errie

[celest hornet]

Gek is the last cartographer mission right?

Because I HATED that water planet for the korvax one

I was scared the whole time

[keen ginkgo]

I remember pranking my cousin by acting like I was talking to some autophage before revealing them

[tardy grove]

So my autophage settlement I want to have either on a lush jungle world, a swamp planet, a frozen world or a desert one.

Might skip out on the desert cuz as Asta said Vy‘keen would be cool for the desert one.

[celest hornet]

Can someone please tell me if I'm almost done with the main quest or not? I'm somewhat getting sick of it

[keen ginkgo]

It sounds like youre around the last third of the total quest

[celest hornet]

Good because I HATE these artifact fetch quests

[keen ginkgo]

What's the current name?

[celest hornet]

I'm on the gek cartographer bit

Not on rn

[keen ginkgo]

Oh ok

[celest hornet]

Went through Vy'keen and korvax already

[tardy grove]

Aaahh

[keen ginkgo]

Ngl I forgot what the artemis path even tells you about vy'keen history

[tardy grove]

That part of the mission was indeed annoying on later playthroughs for me

On my 1st I didn’t mind but on replays…my god did it drag

[celest hornet]

Its literally just 3 painfully long fetch quests

[tardy grove]

The Gek one even was the most annoying one I think

[keen ginkgo]

Yeah

[celest hornet]

Oh god

[keen ginkgo]

Iirc they make you go on one or two extra

[tardy grove]

Cuz it forces you to do mission board missions

[celest hornet]

NO

NO

PLEASE NO

[keen ginkgo]

Mission board missions are fine

[tardy grove]

Can get lucky with an easy mission, but that depends on your karma

[celest hornet]

I AM NOT DOING A 3 FOR 1 DEAL ON FETCH QUESTS

[tardy grove]

I love getting the go kill monstrosity mission

[celest hornet]

Uggghhh this better be worth it

[keen ginkgo]

One of the things ive been wanting to do is take more station missions

Making sure to read their descriptions, because those are funny

[celest hornet]

I want the damn limbs already, I didn't even think it would be this painful

[tardy grove]

Sometimes yeah.

Back when the freighter still had its own mission terminal it was peak

The rewards it gave were fantastic!

A bit too good even, looking back at it.

[keen ginkgo]

Now they gave it to the corvette

Sorta

[celest hornet]

I thought Id deal with Artemis and be done but then Null just went and said: "hey nerd go learn about like history n some shit lmao"

[keen ginkgo]

Hahaha yeah totally no larger reason null would have you do that

[tardy grove]

Yeh Corvette are the favorite child currently

I still am upset that corvettes got bedbunks part right away and freighters didn‘t…despite a bed bunk part existing in derelicts

[celest hornet]

But something the korvax cartographer said intrigued me

[keen ginkgo]

Arent those unlockable from the derelicts?

[keen ginkgo]

CHOOSE WORD WISELY MAY BE SPOILER

[tardy grove]

Nope for some reason HG said no not those

[silver night]

I dunno, Doc, something feels odd indeed...

[celest hornet]

I'm obviously rewording here but I think this is close: "Existence is beautiful if you let it be"

[tardy grove]

So you still have to manually build them if you want proper crew quarters

[keen ginkgo]

Oh... thats interesting

One of the most serene vy'keen you can encounter says something similar

[celest hornet]

"Life does not need an answer, for it is not a question" something like that

[tardy grove]

This asset…was denied!

[jolly sable]

holy fuck, why does the planet where my old major base sits on (FROM BAAACK IN THE DAY) look like its from fucking atlas rises

[keen ginkgo]

"Interloper! It is simple! Stop interloping, and all will be at peace."

[celest hornet]

The Korvax may be snobby nerds but they sure are wise

[keen ginkgo]

Thats really funny considering how some of the "snobby nerds" actually act

[tardy grove]

Polo actually says that the Vy‘keen might be wise

[jolly sable]

this screenshot looks like a decade ago

[keen ginkgo]

Sometimes you basically walk up to them while theyre in the middle of their equivalent to changing

[tardy grove]

Gek noises are still the best tho

[celest hornet]

You mean like.. swapping shells right?

[keen ginkgo]

No

Shell maintenance

[tardy grove]

But I couldn’t imagine having a gek crew, it would drive me crazy eventually their lil chatter noises

[celest hornet]

Ohhh

[tardy grove]

And I‘d want to pet them all the time lol

[celest hornet]

I still find it crazy how the korvax can just swap shells at will

[tardy grove]

[tardy grove]

The Autophage are legitimately the cutest tho, in regards to the way the species talk

[celest hornet]

God I wanna learn the full korvax language so bad to see stuff like that

[keen ginkgo]

Most korvax arent actually snobby, just really curious

[tardy grove]

There‘s something so endearing about how grateful they are when you gift them atlantideum and other stuff

[ruby karma]

I'm about 200 words in with the translators all installed, I get most sentences

[tardy grove]

And they then go on to explain why its so important to them

[keen ginkgo]

They tend to forget about things like "personal space" though, which makes sense

[celest hornet]

I mean don't they like.. live off that?

idrk

[tardy grove]

Kinda I think? But it‘s still funny to me how they like always start explaining what‘s up with it whenever I give them a bit lol

[limpid magnet]

hi chat

[keen ginkgo]

Also I'm pretty sure most korvax dont understand consent but thats due to how the leadership of the convergence rules

[celest hornet]

They still got that nerdiness in them I guess

[topaz folio]

Hi Cosmo Bit

[tardy grove]

Yeh the Autophage are just the cooler Korvax kinda

[keen ginkgo]

They went through some tough stuff

I think anybody would be chilled out after going through what they did

[celest hornet]

||I mean they are literally just korvax outcasts, since they were forcefully kicked from the convergence right?||

Spoiled it just in case people here don't know

[keen ginkgo]

No

[celest hornet]

Oh?

Jeez I gotta get my lore right

[keen ginkgo]

Explaining their nature would spoil it for you

[celest hornet]

Please don't tell me there's more after the cartography quests

I just wanna meet the funny pilgrim robots

[tardy grove]

The later quests are more exciting imo

[keen ginkgo]

Yeah... funny

[tardy grove]

The main quest is basically the tutorial

[celest hornet]

I figured that out once I got the most basic of blueprints

[tardy grove]

I feel like HG needs to do something about salvaged technology

[celest hornet]

But how fun are the quests after the cartography ones?

[tardy grove]

It‘s a tough grind doing it on new saves

[keen ginkgo]

The pace picks up quite a bit

[hybrid dune]

Am I an asshole for telling my friend I don't feel cool w him using handouts from the Anomaly, someone was giving 100 frigate modules to everyone who joined and I told him I would scrap mine and he used all of his lol

[tardy grove]

Modern NMS is not a game that encourages starting over

It‘s probably the most grindy game I‘ve played in fact

[celest hornet]

I mean.. sorta? It's kinda their choice yk? Sure it feels cheaty as hell but.. meh

[keen ginkgo]

For many resources, I would say it depends, or that you arent necessarily, but for frigate modules...

[hybrid dune]

Yeah frigate modules was a lot

[keen ginkgo]

Frigate modules are a pain to get

[tardy grove]

Ah those

I had good drops when looting crashed freighter with those

[hybrid dune]

We've been grinding together the whole last like two weeks and we had set some loose guidelines on cheating and accepting handouts

pretty lame

[keen ginkgo]

I feel like most players wouldnt even realize the wealth theyd been given

[celest hornet]

If I got a bunch of free frigate modules I'd probably use some for base parts I really need and scrap the rest

[tardy grove]

What kind of cheating?

[keen ginkgo]

Getting a hundred of those legit could take days

[hybrid dune]

Like specifically just taking suspicious handouts that would take hundreds of hours or such

[keen ginkgo]

And I mean days of game time

[tardy grove]

Derelicts have the highest drop rate iirc

[hybrid dune]

Like 100 frigate modules lmao maybe not hundreds but you get it

[tardy grove]

Sometimes attacking freighters too, but I don‘t do that.

[keen ginkgo]

YOU WOULD THINK WOULDNT YOU?

[celest hornet]

Yknow.. whenever I get a large amount of something I just know it's duped or I just received DAYS worth of grinding

[jolly sable]

CHAT, CHECK OUT WHAT GEM I FOUND ON MY SAVE FILE

[tardy grove]

I only wanted a bit of money once and got several stacks of ai valves

[jolly sable]

a fully original and old freighter

[tardy grove]

OH

Those parts looked so sterile

[celest hornet]

Thing is you can get as many void eggs as you want right? 3.2k quicksilver each?

[jolly sable]

HOLY SHIT IT HAD LIKE SHELF PARTS IN THERE?

[tardy grove]

It took me a while to get used to the new ones, but I wouldn’t want to go back now

[keen ginkgo]

Most of my own frigate modules were obtained from corvette missions board

[tardy grove]

Tho I feel like the old freighter floors had a more satisfying walking sound

I really liked the way walking on those sounded.

[celest hornet]

Wait what those are old freighter base parts?

[tardy grove]

Yes, before the endurance update reworked them

[celest hornet]

Dude they look so..

Iunno

[keen ginkgo]

Pretty sure those shelves are still available

[tardy grove]

They‘re also heavier on performance

Despite looking more simple

Something to do with rendering distance iirc

[jolly sable]

yesm but the OLD freighter had those parts built into the rooms isntead of them being forced as a asset in there

[tardy grove]

Before that freighter bases were just cuboid rooms basically

In the very very old times

ancient times

[jolly sable]

yea but i joined in the beyond times

not those times

[celest hornet]

Man I keep forgetting just how old nms is

[jolly sable]

i also found this utter gem of a masterpiece base 12 year old me built

[celest hornet]

I mean a 2016 game that's still going strong even a decade later

[tardy grove]

And yknow what was freaking cool about these ancient times?

[jolly sable]

that architecture is lowk pretty fuckin good

[tardy grove]

Bases came with a guestbook!!!

A GUESTBOOK

Kinda

[paper badger]

it feels like a new game even though it isn't lol
2016 felt like yesterday to me

[celest hornet]

I know!!

[jolly sable]

its kinda nostalgic going over my really old save files

[tardy grove]

I have only few memories of my 2016 gameplay left

I enjoyed it a lot, but forgot most of it

[celest hornet]

I think I was like.. okay if I'm 17 now then 10 years ago.. I was like 7

Yeah

[tardy grove]

I was 16

16/16/16

[jolly sable]

YOOO, i found my first ever skyscraper

[celest hornet]

Jesus I was 7 when I first played no mans sky

Maybe 8

[tardy grove]

And I got my ass kicked by a Sentinel Dog on my first gravitino ball planet

It was hell

[jolly sable]

i was around 12 or 13ish

now im 19

😭

[hybrid dune]

Do salvaged freight modules carry over to every freight or individual ones?

[celest hornet]

Oh yeah I killed my first walker 2 days ago with my ship

[tardy grove]

Dang that‘s lame

[celest hornet]

I meant days

[tardy grove]

The Walkers arent even that powerful

In fact I fear the dogs and mechs more

[jolly sable]

dogs are terrifying

[hybrid dune]

My scatterblaster disintegrates them

[celest hornet]

Dude I had to use my ship to kill it because I had a strong lack of shield upgrades

I was getting shredded

[tardy grove]

At the point I am only dissonant sentinels can push me but also only in a hazardous environment

[umbral sequoia]

Salvaged Frigate Modules? Those are objects in your inventory...as long as you don't leave them in the freighter you trade away you'll still have them. And the tech and blueprints unlocked with them stays unlocked.

[celest hornet]

Me and Royal Red

[tardy grove]

Like this MT I use is only middle of the pack compared to Sentinel MT‘s and Staffs and it already melts everything too quick for my liking tbh.

[celest hornet]

I'm gonna replace her with a fighter that matches my armor tho

[celest hornet]

Oh I love alien MT's, decent boosts across the board

[tardy grove]

And yes Ik the Sentinel Upgrades are useless on it

[tardy grove]

Yeh but for me it‘s really the aesthetic that does it

[jovial isle]

i have a noob question, what determines how many upgrades you can have for a tool (like for the scanner, mining beam, boltcaster, etc)

[tardy grove]

Experimentals used to be my fav design but with time that has shifted to Aliens

[celest hornet]

3 upgrades per module

That's the limit

Otherwise it gets overloaded and none of them work

[jovial isle]

maybe i dont understand what a module is, because i see like 6 scanner thingies on that last screenshot

[celest hornet]

Okay so like your mining beam, your scanner..

any MT weapons you put on it

[umbral sequoia]

Not useless...sentinel modules are extra Boltcaster modules and they are very powerful.

[celest hornet]

He's using pulse splitter tho

Sentinel upgrades only work on boltcaster

[tardy grove]

Oh I know but I don‘t use the boltcaster on this one haha, just have them cuz I like to rp that they have an impact here 😆

Pulse spitter will always be my main, I just love everything about it.

[celest hornet]

Pulse splitter is amazing

[jovial isle]

isnt there like 5 upgrades for each modules in that screenshot?

[umbral sequoia]

A properly maxed Boltcaster kills things faster than the pulse splitter.

[celest hornet]

Okay I'll admit I'm a tad bit confused about that too, but I think there are also upgrades you can like.. get through quests and you can install those directly in a multi tool slot

[tardy grove]

It does but this MT already kills everything faster than I need regardless

[celest hornet]

They might not count towards the total either

[jovial isle]

ok tyvm !

[tardy grove]

Pulse spitter just looks too cool to pass up on, especially in dark environments

[celest hornet]

Are there any upgrades that change the color of the balls?

[tardy grove]

The blueprint ones don‘t count yeah

[jovial isle]

(i tend to miss more shots with the pulse spitter, and the range seems a lot shorter than the boltcaster)

[celest hornet]

Okay, I knew that was it! I just worded it weird

[tardy grove]

Yeah it does spread on a greater distance

[jovial isle]

thanks : )
i was hoping to figure everything out by myself at first, but i need help... : P

[tardy grove]

For derelicts the neutron canon is actually op as it will kill the entire nest in one shot if used right

[celest hornet]

I might honestly switch back to bolt caster

Just maybe tho

Not 100%

Okay and just to clarify I only need to start the autophage questline to unlock Atlantid MTs right?

[tardy grove]

It‘s not like it matters much, I feel like all of the weapons are op when maxed, with the exception of the javelin thingie

Just never felt good to me

[celest hornet]

I mean why turn an MT into a sniper when you can just go BRRRRRR

[silver night]

Erm... Hi.

[umbral sequoia]

Yes.

[celest hornet]

Thank you

And they're guaranteed at korvax monoliths?

Just wanna know before I go hunting

[umbral sequoia]

Also yes.

[celest hornet]

Goodie good tysm for answering

[tardy grove]

Atlantid MT‘s look nice

Rly chrome shiny

I prefer them to Sentinel ones

[celest hornet]

What's their boost tho? Mining, right?

[tardy grove]

Yup

[hollow elk]

so many shinies

[celest hornet]

God I really just want a nice B class atlantid

[jolly sable]

chat, should i use this turret for my corvette one day

[celest hornet]

Also I'm proud to say I've gotten over my thalassophobia! (At least in NMS)

Because the second an abyssal horror opened it's eye it got shredded by little green balls

Stupid eye worm thing

[jolly sable]

like fym this is a turret

[celest hornet]

That looks like a freighter turret

[jolly sable]

that looks like a booster

yea its a more terrifying aeron drive

[celest hornet]

Oh damn you right

[jovial isle]

im still not over my thalassophobia xD i screamed out loud last time i got surprised underwater : P

[celest hornet]

You will once you realize you can just shred anything you find down there

[lethal valley]

I finally got my white whale!!! My first "home system" exotic showed up when I was just starting out and couldn't buy it. But now I got it using the freighter rescue method

[umbral sequoia]

Mining, yes....but in a different way than you might think. The mining bonus itself is just a speed bonus, which is useless once properly upgraded. The big benefit is the Runic Lens...that's a mining beam...but you can also install the normal mining beam...supercharge both and the optical drill to maximize the resources mined.

[celest hornet]

Okay so the regular mining beam can be used alongside the runic lens like an upgrade?

[umbral sequoia]

Yes.

[celest hornet]

That's cool

Man I'm gonna love using an atlantid

What's the color of the mining beam?

[jovial isle]

im still using a very basic multitool, im not sure what to look for when buying a new one

[umbral sequoia]

Green iirc.

[celest hornet]

Oooh

[celest hornet]

Some can come with pretty good upgrades pre installed

[keen ginkgo]

Theres another type of abyssal horror

[celest hornet]

the little guys right? From the eggs?

[keen ginkgo]

No

Jumpscare anglerfish

[slate quail]

Anybody want to come see my (mostly) complete building? I tried to create a copy of the alpha root base from the video game Voices of the Void

[celest hornet]

What.

..How big are they?

..That's reassuring

[naive mist]

Ooo That one 🤣 shame that is one trick pony

[jovial isle]

i think i know which one you mean. i tried to shoot that one to get away, but with my noob gear, it was taking bites at me for half my shield, and it took a long while to take it down with a boltcaster

[celest hornet]

Y'all rate my exosuit

[lethal valley]

7.8/10 needs a splash of color

[celest hornet]

Thing is I need a color that matches that pale blue part on the armored gloves

You can't even change the color of it tho

[lethal valley]

Nothing enthralls quite like the balls

[tulip oar]

meow meow

[celest hornet]

Ey the middle one is the same as mine but blue!

[lethal valley]

Nah the wings are different

[grim flicker]

How's my No Man's Fit

[celest hornet]

Oh yeah and no boosters

[celest hornet]

Creature

[tardy grove]

We need a fashion channel

[celest hornet]

Better idea, fashion shows with prizes

[silver night]

Atlas' hand is shaky sometimes

[livid dagger]

looks cool! mine looks horrendous compared lol

[keen ginkgo]

Well, no, because they actually lure you in by posing as a harvestable resource

[tardy grove]

I feel like the new remnant set matches rly well with the chitin armor

What i dislike tho is how the arm part has a gek symbol

i wish it could be customized to use a vykeen, or for that matter any others faction decal

but i get why this isnt the case since the set is a gek piece

[celest hornet]

What's the remnant set?

[tardy grove]

its the one my char uses in this pic

its sort of a trader merchant cloth

[celest hornet]

How do I get it?

[tardy grove]

by completing the remant expedition 😆

[celest hornet]

Uhhh and lemme guess that ended years ago?

[tardy grove]

which you will be able to in the later quarter of the year most likely

[keen ginkgo]

Nah

[ruby karma]

I love balls!

[keen ginkgo]

Was like... 4 months ago?

[tardy grove]

it was the first expo we got this year, so it'll be reduxed in a bunch of months

[silver night]

ME TOO!

[celest hornet]

Are there any exosuit sets you can unlock besides the armored?

[keen ginkgo]

Autophage

[celest hornet]

That aren't expedition exclusive

[ruby karma]

Helmets

Autophagw

That's it

[celest hornet]

Damn

I'm guessing the autophage parts are super expensive too

[ruby karma]

A few helmets ARE quest or challenge exclusive

[keen ginkgo]

Not really?

[ruby karma]

Unlocked by completing the main story

[keen ginkgo]

No, you trade for them, I thought

[celest hornet]

So do I have to fully complete the autophage questline to even purchase them?

[ruby karma]

No

[keen ginkgo]

I wouldnt really know... because... I got them from an expedition

[keen ginkgo]

Not fully

Just to the point where you can get void motes

[ruby karma]

Once you get a terminal and you can see the autophage

[celest hornet]

Oh good

[ruby karma]

You exchange void motes which you get from completing autophage quests

Fuck

[fallow vault]

autophage are best boyes

[keen ginkgo]

Most of their quests arent too difficult, and they usually reward autophage words as well

[ruby karma]

I love the autophage

[fallow vault]

albeit very… dark based on the atlantid monolith stories

[keen ginkgo]

Look, they went through a lot

[fallow vault]

they are basically like vy’keen in religious thought yet are too little to actually fight like how the monolith says they should.

[keen ginkgo]

It allowed them to see things from perspectives most dont get the chance to

[keen ginkgo]

They arent combative, theyre subversive

[fallow vault]

not fully like vy’keen

but… there is a monolith story that tells them to literally shoot anyone that is not of the void mother… and that would be the correct choice for some reason.

[tardy grove]

Out of the three main races I'd expect the Autos to get along the best with the Vy'keen, but they're still different and their own thing.

[fallow vault]

My guess is it’s probably shooting sentinels or sum’n, as they are a direct threat to the void mother’s existence

[naive mist]

They always do that. Same trick every time

[fallow vault]

despite the void mother being it’s… own entity unable to be changed by sentinels… yada yada bing bang

[tardy grove]

It's the other way around even, the VM can corrupt the Sentinels.

They seem to hold no power over her.

[keen ginkgo]

...no

[fallow vault]

I figure they might try to fight her off by being on said planets where her influence is the strongest, but fail pretty quickly in enforcing their law as their view is warped

[keen ginkgo]

They don- -kzzt-

[fallow vault]

but what’s weird is that autophage want you to kill corrupted sentinels… like they’re an abomination or something-

[keen ginkgo]

I must analyze further, I do not recall such sentiments

[ruby karma]

Full recap. Complete the main quest lines, own a settlement, complete trace of metal, have your ship get hacked. You get the special scanner mod, rank up with the autophage, and then you can ask autophage for quests. The quests are very simple and easy to complete. They give you a reward and void motes, which you trade at an autophage terminal (located in autophage camps) for exosuit customization options and staff parts.

[fallow vault]

some quests they give you ask you to kill a certain amount of corrupted sentinels

they’re ofc easy quests n all that have more benefits than the usual scrap gathering

[keen ginkgo]

Stated reason?

[fallow vault]

but it’s… odd…

something about them kinda being a threat of some sort?

[ruby karma]

You wouldn't think they would hate the corrupted sentinels

Aren't the corrupted ones related to the void mother

[tardy grove]

The crystaline heart, they want it sometimes

[fallow vault]

it’s weird.

also yes occasionally they want crystalline hearts from the crabs

but there are still just blanket quests to murder corrupted sentinels for no other reason…

[crimson summit]

Hey guys, I'm making a nms cinematic short (not that short) and I would need a couple guys to help out in a scene. Any takers? 😅

[fallow vault]

We are so into #nms-spoilers territory it’s not even funny anymore, I love my funny brain sometimes.

[tardy grove]

what the heck is the atlantid reactor

[tulip oar]

whacky

[tardy grove]

i dont remember it, apparently used in the singularity expo?

[fallow vault]

i mean there’s atlantid refiners

as a deco

[tardy grove]

yes, the atlantid reactor is an older thing tho

[fallow vault]

which look cool as a decorative themed piece mind you

[tardy grove]

Autophage Settlements are sooo cool generally

HG nailed the aesthetic

[fallow vault]

I wanna get rid of my first settlement to have all autophage settlements I think.

[tardy grove]

Hmm that I wont

I like having one for each race

[fallow vault]

despite my first one actually being out of debt…

[tardy grove]

Rn I dont have a single one tho

I gave up my first one due to it being on a nuclearish hellhole

[naive mist]

Singularity Expedition item

[tardy grove]

I built it up enough so that they could fend for themselves, and then left

[tardy grove]

And yes Ik it resets after abandoning it, but my character doesn't need to know that

[worn lake]

Hi there, I've noticed there are websites with pre-made corvettes featuring cool designs. Is there a way to add them using a bot or something? I'm really bad at designing, so I'd like to know if that's true and if I can copy designs, etc...

[fallow vault]

I think there is a bot to make ones that aren’t created via blender but I forgor its name

there are also some creations that… cause issues, so be mindful of any past 1000 parts

[tulip oar]

service bot

[worn lake]

Where can I find those websites? Is it legal? I'm just terrible at design, HAHAHA

[tardy grove]

very much legal

[limpid magnet]

are there elevators or ways to make them in NMS

for bases

[lethal valley]

No, you're better off just using a teleporter

[clever garnet]

There's one at https://nomansapp.com/ - select "Corvette Delivery & Sharing Center"

[oblique smelt]

Is it just me or does the new companion battles give off pokemon battle vibes

(good thing)

[lethal valley]

Completely original idea. Nobody has ever made that comparison before

[celest hornet]

Dude one of the missions is just killing 12 creatures for a frigate module! How lucky is that?

[jolly sable]

nah ur gonna go to alcatraz

[fallow vault]

You only go there if you mod in broken animals and abuse people in Xeno Arena with them-

[tardy grove]

where's that

[jolly sable]

das a prison

[tardy grove]

Oh that's a real place

Oh I saw the movie about it!

What weapon do you recommend for the ship—the strongest one?

[limpid magnet]

is there a way to increase my screen shot camera FOV?

Because Its fine when im just flying, but when i try to take pictures it decreases and i cant get the whole image in one frame

[lethal valley]

Yeah you can increase it from the adjustment menu in screenshot mode

[oblique smelt]

oh. I just thought that cuz i used to watch a lot of pokemon. And in that, there would be a lot of pokemon battles where the owners would use moves and things like that

[lethal valley]

[limpid magnet]

hey guys I just finished building the outside shell for my base and have the inside filled up with floors and decore about 30%. The last image is the view from the top. Also btw I added a banana for scale

heres a better view from the top

its literally only a few feet from the clouds here

[jolly sable]

lowk

[limpid magnet]

literally scraping the sky i mean

[jolly sable]

ended up being really good

how many parts?

[limpid magnet]

thx but i thought you were SLEEPING

[jolly sable]

[limpid magnet]

LMAO

[oblique smelt]

[limpid magnet]

i need that removed

[oblique smelt]

I was referring to that

[hybrid dune]

I'm about to order some flight throttle joysticks and some other set up stuff, would it be compatible with nms?

[dull temple]

What is a pokie mon

[oblique smelt]

lol

[celest hornet]

Hey so jumping galaxies via the core damages your ship right? Or is that black holes?

[limpid magnet]

the former

[celest hornet]

So jumping through the core.. I'm buying a throw away ship

[limpid magnet]

good idea

but also

dont tell anyone about that

or let the newbiew know

because its part of the experience

[celest hornet]

Here goes nothing

[jolly sable]

[limpid magnet]

first time galaxy wapring?

[limpid magnet]

[limpid magnet]

4670 rn

[jolly sable]

[jolly sable]

i mean mine isnt either

[limpid magnet]

once i finish the floors i gotta put the rooms and machines, then i gotta decorate the WHOLE thing

[jolly sable]

okay but like

[limpid magnet]

[jolly sable]

[limpid magnet]

[jolly sable]
