My (crackpot) dream for the new update [Discussion]

I'd love nothing more than for the update to be about fleshing out the fauna in the game thus the bone teaser hinting at giving the fauna more structure. Giving the animals new complex behaviors (migration, social behaviors, more complex hunting, predator territories), more unique sound instead of the simple chirps and oddly quiet roars that all fauna in the game have in common. Just in general making them fit into the planets better. Rn to me they are mostly just there to be looked at for one second then ignored forever. Proper ecosystems even if limited is definitely what I want most of the game to really make me immersed. Definitely too much to ask this close to Worlds Pt 2 but I'd love to see something like that someday

Question on Expedition rewards [Question]

Just downloaded the game after a long hiatus (I think Expidition 2 had just started) and I see a few items that were in prior seasons at the Quicksilver store

Does that mean cosmetics from the current season will enter the Quicksilver merchant inventory? Or at least will they be available in future seasons? Cuz I just got my internet restored last month and only just now got around to buying NMS again, it'd be a shame to miss out

Ship trading for squadron members [Information]

Thought it would be fun to have a squadron member flying a sentinel ship and discovered some interesting bits others may find helpful. The process is to first find and procure the ship you want the squadron member to be flying. Once you have that, find a pilot and trade them the ship. Now an NPC pilot owns that ship and you can run over and recruit them to your squadron. Simple, but there are some finicky bits to be aware of...

The Ship: Don't bother installing any tech, it will all be reset to whatever the ship originally had. Same goes for the ship name, which will revert back to it's original name had you renamed it. It's also pretty widely believed that the ship class does not matter for squadron members.

The Pilot: The generated pilot is based on the system you are in, and it will always be the exact same pilot regardless who you trade with in that system. This includes the pilot's rank, stats, species, color and style. Although oddly the pilot's name will always be the same regardless of the system you are in and seems to be locked to the ship itself.

Introduction of Seeds [Discussion]

What if they introduced seeds that grow into flowers, or trees over time?

I haven’t played in a while but noticed all the updates they’ve done over the years.

Question about Hilbert and other Galaxies [Question]

So I finished the main quest the other day, and got transported to Hilbert. I didn't do much at first, just nabbed a space station so I can teleport back after finishing some business in Euclid. Now, I'm actually exploring Hilbert, and it seems like almost 40% of the systems I hover over in the warp map are abandoned or uninhabited. Are some galaxies more populated than others, or is it just luck of the draw for where I landed in Hilbert?

Wonderful Community [Screenshot]

Hello, I'm a middle Dad who struggles with depression and Playing No Man's Sky has been a great source of comfort. I'm not a expert and don't have the best gear or ship but love the small steps of gradually exploring the universe. So tonight whilst onboard the Anomaly something amazing happened. Another player randomly gifted me something and jetpacked away before I had the chance to thank them or understand what was happening. I only caught the first part of their name which was Cal. So Cal if you are out there I want to sincerely thank you. This was a incredible gesture and will try to pay it forward. I also want to thank Hello Games for creating this game which has allowed such a great community to exist.

New player - see what happens or read up? (Spoilers for new players) [Question]

Hello all - new player here, have about 6 hours play time and have done a few of the main missions and some side quests.

I have just got to the main space station which is my first time seeing other players and introduction to the later stages of the game. I was afk for a bit and someone seemed to have given me items worth 150mil in units. I bought a few upgrades and then bought items until I ran out of units and discarded as it felt potential early game breaking, which I want to avoid!

Would you recommend for first play through just taking it as it comes and seeing what happens, or would you recommend doing a more structured play through and reading up on the game? I usually do blind play throughs but the way I am playing at the moment feels a bit monotonous, perhaps I just need to sink further into the main missions?

Sorry if the post is vague as I have tried to avoid reading the Reddit and other info - so basically would you recommend just going for it as it is or is best having an informed approach as a new player?

Just spent 2 hours trying to put stairs in my base. I give up. [Discussion]

Sorry for the small rant. I normally don't post on reddit but this was driving me crazy. I love the game but the building system is utterly infuriating when building anything bigger than a 1 floor shack. 3 pixel wide parts of my base counts as outside counts as outside causing a zooming in and out effect in 3rd person which gives me a headache. There's no gaps in it, I rebuilt it from the ground up twice. I made 3 floors that are 2 high and if that's the problem then that's just dumb because things like portals would just stick through a 1 high ceiling. The snapping makes no practical sense and sometimes doesn't work at all for no clear reason. After 2 hours of fighting with a set of stairs that went everywhere but the obvious spot that i was looking at from every possible angle, I gave up.

If you read this far, thank you for listening to my frustration and I hope you have a good day.

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD [Discussion]

new update is incoming. CAN WE PLEASE GET A SLIDER OR SOMETHING FOR DEADZONE? I own 170 games. I only get stick drift in NMS. I bought this controller FOUR days ago from PlayStation Direct. Tested it for drift out of the box to ensure it would eliminate my stick drift in NMS and nope. Didn't do anything. Still got drift. Always have drift. Always had it in this game no matter what.

I want to enjoy this game I have purchased 4 different times with my brand new controller.

This isn't the first time either. I'm just enrage about it again.

I'm done ranting.

So many issues [Bug]

Ever since the Worlds II update, this game has been incredibly glitchy for me. Not sure if anyone else has experienced this, but it takes forever for things to load in, bases, terrain, textures, freighters, ships, even NPCs walk around headless for a while. It also frequently hangs while warping or teleporting, causing me to have to restart the game, losing any progress since I last saved. Just now, I lost an hour's worth of work building my freighter base because it decided to hang while placing a base part. It's gotten so frustrating. If anyone can offer advice, I'd appreciate it, but mostly just venting because my freighter base was looking bad ass and I'm still salty over having to do it all over again.

This is heartbreaking [Bug]

I have been slowly working on a grand project related to the recent Titan expedition, and it's all gone completely wonky overnight.

I have been working on this base all week, and while the sands on this world have been shifting, the building has always remained intact within it. I have been treating this as a feature rather than a bug and set up a little archeological adventure. You teleport down to a caved in dig site and work your way up past traps and such to find the temple. The ever present gravitational anomolies only added to the "you're punching above your weight" feel to the mini-adventure.

What you're looking at is the reward at the end of it all. This "bifrost road" has always been well aligned with the monolith, and it was a very slick presentation with the light up road, etc (slick for me, anyway).

Everything has been going ok so far, and I've been able to account for the shifting sands with the fact that I could create a sort of a tunnel with building components, and that tunnel would constrain your digging and keep you on a set path to the destination. It was freaking working, I tells ya!

I woke up this morning and found that everything has now shifted a few meters. That slight shift has now changed the alignment of every-damn-thing in the structure, and I feel like all this effort was wasted.

Is it done? Can I basically just pack it in and find a different project, or is this recoverable?

Show me your character [Discussion]

I just started doing Nexus missions to earn Quicksilver, so my character is pretty plain right now. (Funny I still feel like a new player with damn near 100 hours in)

I love checking out everyone’s ships and character builds when I’m on the Anomaly. But that doesn’t always work out well with character builds because people are always running and flying around.

There seem to be a ton of characteristics to unlock!

Don't mind me, I'm just... catching some of those boiled fish. [Screenshot]

Made a cute "Gateway to Hell" base on a dissonant extreme planet with water, did some fishing, collected a few interceptors for units, did some autophage questing and made "Robust" status today. Only "Everlasting" status missing for that last achievement.

The base isn't anything special, but in case you want to stop by, it's in Calypso galaxy.

Didn’t read the update notes… [Screenshot]

Teyaypilny Galaxy (#50)

I found another Giant paradise planet, this time a Reliquary type, on an Overgrown giant. Yellow Grass, Blue sky, Green water, ruins everywhere, and big underwater caves. I even managed to find a beautiful island that produces solar eclipses in the morning from one of the moons, and has access to a huge underwater cave system. Then I decided to land on all the moons…

So imagine my excitement when I discovered a floating island moon that wasn’t a paradise biome. I was beyond ecstatic when I found an icy moon that had floating islands. I didn’t read the update notes, because it’s exciting to discover these things. And imagine how much more excited I was when I found out that there was also a toxic moon with floating islands! I feel blessed by the Atlas… to find a giant paradise ruin planet with perfect weather and low to no sentinel activity… and then add 2 different moons with floating islands in 2 different biomes.

Feel free to come help colonize this Super Earth in the Teyaypilny galaxy.

Settlement NPCs bugged [Bug]

I had a settlement a month ago which had NPCs walking/running around it which was perfect but I didn't like the location so I abandoned it and started a new settlement on a different planet and I've just realised after completing the construction that the NPCs re all stuck inside the buildings, walking in to the walls.

Has anyone else noticed this and is there a solution to fix it or a pattern to know which settlements would be affected? Looks like I'm going to be starting a new settlement all over again :(

What to do now? [Suggestion]

I’d appreciate any suggestions 🙏

And if anyone has a YT video on sort of a guide on what to do etc that’ll be amazing

Discoveries - Named Systems, Visited Systems, and Discovered Planets Eventually Forgotten [Information]

Hi folks,

A few months ago I posted about a thread about Discoveries not retaining names in the Discoveries tab. I made this... discovery while attempting to map/rename a single region. Eventually, one will reach a point where even recently named Discovered systems will not retain their names reliably between sessions: it varies, but it seems like one in every five systems or so will retain the name in the Discoveries tab but most others will revert.

Unfortunately I've come across more issues related to the large-scale exploration and renaming.

A few days ago, I tried to figure out which planet I had seen a particular fauna on (flying protogek) and when I went to the cluster of systems it was in to narrow it down, none of the systems had retained the planetary discoveries, ie. the planets in those systems I had visited two months or so ago were all marked as "unknown planets".

Over the last couple of days I've noticed that "visited" systems, which are typically marked with a circle in the warp map, are not retaining that circle marking, especially for systems that I visited early in the process. This means the issue extends past the Discoveries tab and is about retaining information throughout the game.

I think it's clear that what is happening here is that there is a limit on what naming and discovery information can be retained for each player, and if you play long enough, and rename enough things, you will reach that limit. After the last post I made on the issue, I started a new save to see if that would address it. I have reached this limit on three separate saves, in terms of named systems in the Discoveries tab. Starting a new save will fix the issue for that particular save, but the...

My game won't load up in vr [Question]

I've recently just set up my Psvr (1) to my PS5 and I've been playing other VR games like super hot and the play room, but for some reason when I try to load into no mans sky (PS4 version) it lets me press okay, then it goes to the camera but before I get past that I get a common error.

Nutrient Ingestor buff bugged? [Bug]

When i put bread in the nutrient ingestor, my hazard protection battery should get buffed by 22% percent.

So, without that buff, the battery last for over 5 minutes in a 100 degree celsius environment. But with the buff from the bread, it goes down to about 70 seconds.

Maybe the buff deactivates all hazard protection upgrade modules, and adds the extra 22% to the base time?

🌍 Terraforming in No Man’s Sky – A New Era of Survival! 🚀 [Discussion]

Hello, Travelers! 👋

I’ve been playing No Man’s Sky for a long time, and I’ve always been fascinated by the vastness of its universe. But I had an idea that could make survival, base building, and planetary exploration even more exciting – full-scale terraforming! 🔹 The Idea

Right now, we can find planets that are almost perfect – rich in resources but plagued by extreme weather, radiation, or toxic conditions. What if we could modify the climate, create new biomes, and build massive dome-free cities?

Terraforming would introduce a deep endgame mechanic, allowing players to create livable worlds and even sell their terraformed planets to factions for profit! 💡 How It Could Work 🔸 1. Different Levels of Terraforming

🔹 Local – Small-scale modifications around a base.
🔹 Partial – Adjusting climate without changing the entire biome.
🔹 Global – Full planetary transformation! 🔸 2. Possible Gameplay Implementation

📌 Phase 1: Scanning – Analyze a planet’s atmosphere and determine key issues (temperature, radiation, toxicity).
📌 Phase 2: Deploy Terraformers – Small-scale devices for local changes, orbital stations for large-scale planetary shifts.
📌 Phase 3: Gradual Transformation – Clouds start forming, rain begins, flora grows, radiation dissipates.
📌 Phase 4: Final Stage – The planet becomes fully habitable! 🔸 3. Challenges (And Cool Features!)

⚠ Planets might "resist" terraforming – ancient parasites, mutating flora, or unexpected environmental catastrophes.
⚠ If players miscalculate, they could accidentally trigger a nuclear winter or global warming.
⚠ Rare resources required for terraforming – making the process challenging and rewarding. 🎯 Why Is This Important for NMS?

✅ Adds a new purpose for planetary exploration – turning...

Pirate life [Discussion]

I really enjoy this game but I would love to see them expand pirating. Make being a pirate more authentic. Let me kill the crew if a freighter leaving it derelict. Let us extort freighter captain by calling our capital ship on their freighter. The more raider class ships in the fleet the higher the extortion rate. Make it so you can have bounties that prevent you from entering non pirate space stations.

I would like to see piracy fleshed out and made to feel like more than an afterthought.

Nanites [Question]

Hi,

New player here. I'm in the main questline and have played around 30 hours more or less so still at the start.

I bought myself a nice solaire that I upgraded as far as I could and I love it but I'm starting to look around for a new ship to fly.

I've learned that besides the new sentinel ships and the living ships the next best thing is to make your own ship.

Then I learned that S parts that I want to use cost like 6 000 nanites, so it's at least in the 20 000 nanites to get a ship without any upgrades. I'm giddy when I have 2 000 nanites to spend right now so 10 times that is a lot.

Sooooo... besides the slow accumulation is there a faster way to get nanites that is currently usable in 2025 please ?

I propose a small addition for QOL late game [Suggestion]

What I propose today is a small thing, but I think it would be worth while.

I've gotten all the tech using Salvaged Frigate Modules, so now they serve me no purpose, what I do need are Cargo Bulkheads, and while they aren't that hard to get it's time consuming.

What if we could ( on our freighters, upgrade console) trade 5 of the Salvaged Frigate Modules for 1 of the Cargo Bulkheads, or just let us add a space using 5 of the Salvaged Frigate Modules.

Thoughts on a Van Life Challenge? [Discussion]

Rules would be:

No bases whatsoever

Only one starship. Can buy and scrap ships for parts to build the ideal ship for you but after, must sell any other ships

No freighter.

The only exocraft allowed is the hover one to be like a bike that some van lifers keep.

The only storage allowed is your personal inventory, starships inventory, and hovercraft inventory.

This is gonna be my next playthrough so I thought I’d see what others thought. If this has already been thought of, please let me know.

Most manageable fuel type [Question]

I'd like to get opinion on most manageable type of ship when you have the absolute worst setting for stack sizes in inventory. As best as I can tell so far my choices are solar (among regular ships due to the pulse fuel regen sail), living, or sentinel.

Sentinel has the appeal of just stack a bunch of radiants that can be used for everything but, i don't know if regularly farming these is that helpful. Living seems cool in theory with silver from asteroids recharging hyperdrive, but those small resources are the types that stack the worst. What do you all think?

{ERROR NO MAN SKY} NMS freezing when exploring planets or entering stations – loading icon shows up / ¿Por qué No Man's Sky se cuelga al explorar planetas o estaciones? [LATAM] [Bug]

¡Hola, comunidad de Reddit y de No Man's Sky!

Desde hace aproximadamente dos semanas, he estado experimentando problemas con No Man's Sky. Después de unos minutos u horas de juego, el juego se congela y aparece el mensaje "No responde". Esto suele ocurrir cuando aparece el icono de carga en la esquina inferior derecha (un círculo con puntos) al explorar planetas o al llegar a una estación y descender de la nave.​

Especificaciones de mi PC: Procesador: Intel(R) Core(TM) i9-10900K CPU @ 3.70GHz​ Tarjeta Gráfica: Nvidia RTX 3060 TI de 8GB​ Configuración del juego: Todas las opciones en alto y AntiAliasing en DLAA (Deep Learning Anti-Aliasing)​

Acciones realizadas: He limpiado cachés, DNS y otros aspectos relacionados con la conexión a Internet, la cual funciona correctamente.​

Consulta:

¿Alguien ha experimentado problemas similares o tiene alguna sugerencia para resolver este inconveniente? Agradecería cualquier consejo o solución que puedan ofrecer. (O Tips de Configuracion

ENGLISH:
Hi, Reddit community!

Problem summary:

For about two weeks, I've been experiencing issues with No Man's Sky. After a few minutes or hours of gameplay, the game freezes and shows the "Not responding" message. This usually happens when the loading icon appears in the bottom right corner (a circle with dots) while exploring planets or arriving at a station and exiting the ship.​

My PC specifications: Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i9-10900K CPU @ 3.70GHz​ Graphics Card: Nvidia RTX 3060 TI with 8GB​ Game settings: All options set to high and AntiAliasing on DLAA (Deep Learning Anti-Aliasing)​

Actions taken: I've cleared caches, DNS, and other internet-related aspects; the connection is working...

VR Launch Troubleshooting [Bug]

Hey fellow travelers, I have encountered an issue and wondered if anybody experienced one similar.

Here's a simple breakdown, I simply cannot launch the game in VR. Neither from Virtual Desktop, or from the steam library>Launch in VR

It does launch but then before loading I receive the error below and it refuses to start.
I've contacted HelloGames/Zendesk as advised in the error, but I thought I'd try to get some help on here as well just in case somebody has resolved this issue before

https://preview.redd.it/cra75g5nciqe1.png?width=456&format=png&auto=webp&s=ed89822879acd120803b2a31b7199c44e6ed9f85

My system information / devices without dumping my entire systeminfo export is:

Virtual Desktop
Windows 10
ASUS STRIX 4090

Installed Physical Memory (RAM) 64.0 GB
I'm running 3 monitors but I'm unsure if that is having any impact
If there's any more info that might be required to better diagnose, I'm happy to provide.

Ships For Sale [Suggestion]

It'd be rad if there were a base part that you could dock ships from your collection at, that you are offering for sale to visiting players.

It might be a fun way to get players to visit builds.

Abandoned planets…??? [Question]

Hi all - trying to get the ruin base building parts.

So I’ve done all the required quests, have the star seed in my exosuit, the Atlantid drive in my starship, and I’m “galaxy mapping” to as many X or Y systems as I can (assuming they are the purple ones - even after 100 hrs the galaxy map confuses me). So far, maybe 20 purple systems and no abandoned planet.

Am I unlucky? Am I missing something else?

Thanks!

Curser jumping up and left [Bug]

My wife and I are having a problem with her computers mouse trying to jump up and left of wherever she's looking. Changing mouse, dpi, polling, window/fullscreen, discounting the mouse entirely, mouse smoothing, and even managed to make the problem worse by updating the graphics card driver.

All that being said, the game is currently unplayable and we do not know how to go about fixing the issue. Her graphics card is a GeForce RTX 2060, the mouse is a razer Deathadder Essential, and the issue is exclusive to nms. Doesnt happen in the ship or on the main menu.

Anyone ever had luck dealing with this?

See terrible video for exact behavior. No body is touching the mouse during the last few seconds.

Some people asked for a higher freighter Jump and a gas giant Jump so here it is! Falling from the freighter into a gas giant [Video]

I tried to upload to reddit but it was too big so I had to put it in youtube. Please ignore the other videos they are from back in the day. It took about an hour to actually fall onto the planet, so I had to speed it up and even then, the video is 7 minutes. I did discover you can do some fun things like emoting and destroying asteroids while falling.

Extending a Hand [Screenshot]

Hello fellow interlopers! So a little backstory, in 2016 I lost my mom. A few months later, this game was released and I got it on PS4. It's honestly my comfort game and helped me get through the darkest times by just doing some silly little things is space, even if it was rough looking 😂. Here we are years later on PC, my friends have tried their best but it just doesn't vibe with them like it does with me. I mainly play city or park builders, rivals like every other weekend, and with this I can really turn my brain off and just chill. Anywho, the point being, after 200 hours of exploring mostly by myself on my main file, I would like to welcome everyone to Hega Prime. Come one, come all to my little slice of space in the Eissentam Galaxy. My base is still a work in progress on this planet but it's my home in a hill, right next to a bustling trade station. Hega is a paradise planet, her weather is beautiful and her critters are weird.

So thankful for this community [NMS-IRL]

I was hesitant to post this, and if it’s not ok that’s fine. I just wanted to say thanks for being such a great community. We had some storms a week ago and my daughter and I took a hit. I lost my job after 15 years in February so 2025 has been a mental and financial nightmare, but no mans sky is always there when I need to escape and I’m so thankful for that. Unfortunately our house is a loss but we are alive.

What's the one thing you would add to this game if you could add anything? [Discussion]

Mine would be cities. Like CITY cities. I get that the lore doesn't lend itself to that, but it would be incredible to fly onto a new planet and see skyscrapers and residential towns.

I'm sure it would be so difficult to add for a number of reasons, but if the game ever expanded to that level, I'm not sure anything could top that.

More Multitools Please!!! [Discussion]

Does anyone else wish they could keep a few more Multitools? There are so many options that it feels stifling to only have the ability to keep 6. Every time I discover a new MT I really like I have to make incredible sacrifice in order to keep it. I'm not a programmer but I can imagine that with every tweak and addition they have to do the same with the entire game but if it's at all possible I really do hope they.increase the number we can keep to 10 or even 12. A multitool display rack would be AMAZING but I would be more than happy with just being able to keep a few more Multitools than we currently can.

Thanks for the expedition bases and a question [Question]

I wanted to thank everyone who went and created bases for specific parts of the expedition and then uploaded them for others to visit. Unfortunately there's no way in game to leave little thank you on someone's base (be cool if we could leave a thank you message on the base computer or something, wouldn't it?) so I'm thanking everyone here. Unfortunately I didn't make notes of everyone's names whose base I visited but if you made a fishing base or a base near a freighter, or a base for the oceans depth quest or any other base that helped complete the expedition, I appreciate you and I'm sure I'm not the only one.

My question is how the heck do I get my stuff to my main save? Or can I not do it because I didn't start the expedition there, I started it from the menu.

wild base on a cliff edge [Screenshot]

Sorry for the bad shot. It was a storm, but I wanted to catch it all in one shot. The glifs are for a nuclear moon in Budullangr.

The wild base is at my feet, in the weeds. Usually these are visible in the middle of a large flat circle.

At the bottom of the shot, you can just make out the autophage that needs repair (the mission that took me to that spot). That thing was buried in the rock down the cliff edge. Again, usually these are visible in a bowl crator.

File this two-fer under "never seen this like that before".

You will need an other save with all glyphs unlocked for this method.

I will refer "Main save" as the non-abandoned save where you got all the glyphs

You can see coordinates in visor Analysis mode or in space ship left screen

Find your abandoned world glyphs in photo mode

Switch to main save and travel to the abandoned save location. Write down the exit portal coordinates

Jump between nearby star systems and search Traveller in space stations

Ask Traveller where they come from, travel to the grave and write down its coordinates

Switch to abandoned save and travel to the grave

Repeat this to get a second glyph

Get rest of the glyphs using ForeverAppropriate80 glyph bases
You can get to the bases by using space station teleporter, scroll down and search for "Gylph base 1" to 14

I've been hopping ALL OVER the galaxy in search of a planet with floating islands. And I happen to chance upon one just as I had given up! I was in a random system, looking for a planet with phosphorus. I found one, mined the phosphorus and went back out into the system to see what else was there. That's when I find this "temperate" planet among the stars and decided to fly down to see what other resources I could acquire. I literally burst through the clouds and slammed into an island, lol. I literally said out loud; "No Friggin' way!" And here we are.

A day or so ago I posted about Storm Crystals spawning from an electrical disturbance storm on a normal, no storm crystal planet, the first time I've ever seen this.

Today I discovered that the chance for a meteor storm or lightning strike to spawn valuable items has been in the game since June 2021.

I've been playing since it came to the mac in 2023, have clocked up 3,144 hours and only ever seen this happen once.

What would be your favorite in game occurrence that is so rare and random that we'd hardly ever experience it?

Kudos to Hello Games for including this stuff, but how frustrating for the devs, to work so hard on something that hardly anyone ever sees!

It's now got me thinking about what else there might be and how to get to see these uniquely rare events.

Did accidentally screw myself out of Expedition 17 rewards? [Question]

First expedition for me so not sure how it's supposed to work, but in the expedition I opened up all the phase rewards, and when I ended the expedition, I was in my traveling ship and used the multi tool I had since the start of the expedition.

When I ended the expedition, I did not have the wraith or that staff multi tool active. When I went to the anomaly on my main save to finish ending the expedition, in the equipment it had my travel ship and multi tool which, fine, I cloned into my save.

Why don't I have the wraith or staff multi tool? Was I supposed to have it active before ending? Am I missing something?

Betsy is toxic, inhospitable, and incredibly moist. [Screenshot]

I swear I didn’t change the name of the moon, I found it like this, which is why I just had to check it out…. I would’ve given it a more toxic sounding name… It’s a marshy toxic moon on a Rotting Giant planet that has deep water and steep mountains. Betsy has a beautiful gray sky, but is extremely toxic. I can’t for the life of me find any of the large waterfall islands to land on, but i was somehow able to land on a tiny waterfall island close to the ground. It has lots of water areas, underwater caves, and robot animals. Extreme toxic storms do allow for storm crystal harvesting. Base worthy.

Returning player from 2019 - What should I absolutely know? [Question]

Hello everyone!

As title says, I used to play NMS in 2019 and really liked it, but didn't get very far as I was playing alone (I think I stopped a little after getting the freighter).

Now a few friends bought the game and I thought it would be nice to go play with them with my old account.

What should I absolutely know after not playing for such a long time?

Cheers!

Wishful thinking [Suggestion]

As i restarted i noticed so many completly unclaimed systems.

What if we could build a space station of our own? 1 per account ofc. And as race it just says traveller.

Economy is based of planets in system as well as player chosing 5 standard (for example wiring looms etc)

Conflict is also player choice.

Anyone else that would love this?

How do you get all of the research stations for your bases? [Question]

Came across someone’s base and saw that they have 6 diff research stations. I’ve looked for how to get them and the only info I could find was about the last one on the right (utopia station) which apparently I can’t get bc it is from an expedition. From left to right the stations are: construction RS, exosuit RS, multi-tool RS, exocraft RS, ship RS, and utopia RS.

One of my biggest base builds thus far. Double base. Max parts on one base. The other is getting close. The pictures are in reverse order of project. Lots of framing, ensuring everything is aligned and mirrored. Teleport cables connect each side. Portal on the right. Euclid. [Build]

On picture 12, you can see where you have to open the ground to build a lower frame to make all your pieces the same size. You can always use terrain manipulator to repair the ground around the pieces afterward for a smoother finish. The circle is 66 squares across.

My game is bugged? [Question]

So, my dad has been playing No Man's sky for a while now. I watch him play and I'm his copilot so I help him figure things out. But I don't know what's going on with his game. He was on a dissonance planet and went to the autophage camp and found a ship, picked up all the items in the ship and used the brain to find a monument but it yakes him off plantet and to another galaxy entirely and just gives him a different ship?? And he can't get the one he was using the brain for. Is his save file bugged out??? It's happened 7 times already.

Paradise moons orbiting ringed giants? [Question]

Could this mean LNF news? [Question]

...hear me out.

It's wishful thinking on my part, but I'm letting my hopes go up and seeing this as HG 'throwing us a bone', as in LNF news.

Think about it.

It's the most exciting thing they could possibly reveal after all, it's what many of us are eagerly waiting for.

What do you guys reckon, could this be a launch teaser? It'd suit HG well, to drop the game in the exact same fashion that our NMS updates come along, the "SURPRISE!!" marketing method.

I can dream I guess 😉

Freighter switch [Question]

I'm looking to switch out my freighter, as i mainly purchased the one I'm currently using just for travel and docking multiple ships at a time till I got the one I was looking for, and I had a few questions:

If i exchange my freighter, what happens to all it's inner buildings/edits. Storage, Scanner rooms, my scientis, etc.

Do all my ships just reappear on the new one?

Do I have to remove any upgrades i may have had on the existing freighter?

Do all the frigates i had as well as pilots i recruited all follow with my purchase/exchange or would i have to re-recruit?

I think that's all the questions I have for now but i'll add a comment later if I've got any others. I specifically didn't really add too much other than storage to my current freighter specifically because I didn't have an answer for these at the time and didn't wanna go all out. Thanks in advance!

Can you “gift” starships to friends or let them buy them from you? [Question]

So long story short: I have an extra S Class ship I came across that I would like to give to a friend who just started playing recently.

I’ve come across posts from the past where people have sold them at space stations to an NPC and were able to have their friend buy them (now patched sadly; Ship will fly off immediately now) as well as that same method but instead a player stands on top of ship so the NPC may not leave (now patched; ship disappears entirely)

Are there ANY other methods of being able to transfer ownership of starships that hasn’t currently been patched? I have obtained a C class to test out as well for one method so I don’t risk losing the S class immediately.

Any help would be greatly appreciated fellow Interlopers!

#

Is there a way to alter the starting planet? [Question]

I usually prefer to start the game on a certain type of planet, which means I have to spend hours starting new games for a new playthrough.

I was wondering if there was a mod or something that let me at least determine the type of hazard on the planet? I'm obviously not asking to spawn on somewhere with absolutely everything I need or a paradise planet. I just want to be able to choose the hazard.

Thanks :)

Hiding other players markers or bases [Question]

Playing my first expedition, and even i multiplayer is disabled I see markers, dots, bases, etc. left by other players. It kinda spoils the immersion for me.

Noob question regarding an Exploration Guide mission [Question]

Hi, all! I'm fairly new to NMS. I've set up a "base" and have just now traveled to a new planet. I picked up an [Exploration Guide] side quest for planet Fatuslome IX that includes scanning fauna, flora, and minerals. I'm done with the fauna, but I've spent about 4 hours looking for the remaining 1 flora and 2 minerals and I'm losing my mind.

Is there a guide or tip or anything I can go off of to help me out? I've traveled across a lot of the planet, explored caves, etc, and still can't seem to locate these last 3 items. I'm contemplating abandoning this quest, but I feel I'm too invested now. Help?

Seeking opinions: Should I settle for this frieghter, or keep holding out for an S class etc? (Details below) [Question]

Opinions wanted;

I've been waiting and waiting (I'm 75ish hours deep) for a decent free freighter fight to appear, and I've been cursed with nothing but C class junk. This is the best I've seen. Should I hope my godawful luck changes, and hold out for a better type of freighter or an S class, or just bite the bullet?

Live on the planet where you were born. [Question]

A being's decision to remain on their home planet, even with the hyper warp drive's ability to explore the vast universe, raises a fascinating question that has yet to be tried. It makes you think about the search for meaning, when we go to the infinity of the universe, we end up seeing everything and even similarities between planets. The beauty and complexity of the very planet we emerged on may be enough to satisfy your curiosity and sense of wonder in discovering everything that exists in your sphere of land. The inner journey, the exploration of a culture, be it Korvax, V'ykeen or Gek. It can be considered more valuable than the exploration of outer space, as there are countless ways to explore and discover within the confines of a single planet.

Is it one freighter every 3 hours? [Question]

Looking at freighter farming, watched a fair amount of yt and read a lot of threads and really confused myself😅. I played years ago and just started playing the game again and I want a Star Wars esc freighter. Or the pirate ship im not sure yet. I just am unsure if I want to farm one ship every few hours, or if I even can farm them right now as I haven’t got passed my first free ship encounter yet. Any input is greatly appreciated, and apologies I’m sure this gets asked a lot in this sub

HG needs to add mechanics or “mods” for adding or attracting “settlers” to our player homes [Discussion]

One of the most satisfying aspects of No Man’s Sky, at least for me—and I imagine for many other players—is base building. We spend countless hours searching for the perfect planet, then scouring that planet for the ideal site to build on, and finally, we dedicate even more time crafting intricate, elaborate bases.

And then… that’s it. They just sit there. Empty. Hollow shells.

I know the game includes settlements, complete with settlers, but I don’t want to be confined to someone else’s idea of a settlement just to have a living, inhabited space. I want my bases to feel alive.

I’d love for Hello Games to add a feature in the base computer—something like the power toggle in creative mode—that lets us invite settlers to move into our custom settlements. Or “mods” in the build menu that let us add a number of settlers to our settlements. Maybe we could even assign them duties or direct their paths to bring a real sense of life to our builds.

Right now, the closest thing we have is landing pads, where visiting ships will land if they aren’t occupied by our own starships. That’s cool, but it’s hardly enough to make a settlement feel alive. Wonder projectors are a nice touch, but they don’t quite fill the gap either.

Am I the only one who feels this way?

Stuck in the Sentinel Capital Ship... Wtf [Bug]

How? It wasn't there, just beaming me from invisibleness, as I'm flying towards it, it spawns in, in a totally different direction from where the shots are coming from.

Then I'm stuck in the side of the shell of a capital ship and getting shot from the invisibleness from the side (from capital defence weapons) and then just lose ALL my stuff.

Does anyone even maintain this game? Anyone ever had this get their stuff back? This is a game breaking bug

Nagging questions after 1500 hours... [Question]

Nagging questions at the 5 month, 1500 hour mark:

  • There are Space Stations in Yellow systems (of course), and occasionally Green systems, and at least one Purple system I have found but I have never found an active space station (non-abandoned, non-pirate) around a Red or Blue system...are there any? Am I just really unlucky?

  • If you do freighter missions, you will get Gek, Vykeen, and Korvax idols...but over time there's far less Gek idols than the other two...anyone know why? This has been going on a long time (I have in the thousands of Vykeen and Korvax faction points but only about half that for Gek at this point).

  • What are the best unit sinks that people use when maxed out on units? Buying slots for starships and multitools? I am maxed out at 4.2 billion with several billion more in storage (ignitors and cryostasis units). I'd like to get at least some benefit out of the potential units that are just disappearing.

  • Is there any way to find out how much of your 16,000 max base items you have used up? Getting worried at this point.

  • Is there any way to re-find systems on your discovery list that have fallen off all of your portal menus? Short of going to each system you do have access to, selecting the discovery entry, and then looking on the galaxy map, which would take way too long to recover each system? I am trying to track "hubs" of my discoveries now and visit those systems often enough to make sure I don't lose them...but eventually, I will have 50+ hubs of discovered systems and the same problem will come back.

Frame rate drops, stuttering, need some performance help! [Question]

Hi all! So I've recently picked up the game again after moving from Xbox to PC (fecking love this game) and I'm having some performance issues, was hoping you lovely folks might be able to provide some advice!

I've come to find that after playing for an hour or two, the game just decides to stutter and drops below 30 fps, I should be able to run 60fps no issue yet here we are :(

Some of my PC specs for your knowledge: (if you need anymore info let me know)

GPU: NVIDIA 4060 Ti
CPU: Intel(R) Core i5-14400F
RAM: 32gb

Monitor is 4k but have set the game resolution to 2k as I don't think my pc could handle it at 4k (please correct me if I am wrong)

I'd love some advice on how I can stop these frame drops from happening, and if you have an idea on what in-game graphics settings my pc could run the game at smoothly while still looking chefs kiss.

Don't belive in the Atlas? Join the resistance! [The Atlas Resistance]

For a long time, I too believed that the Atlas was the creator, the supreme deity of our Universe. That was, until I rediscovered my old bases. The moment I stepped in, I felt a chilling familiarity. "This place feels... /kzzt/ familiar."

And in that instant, my memory returned. "Wait, this can't be right."

The truth hit me: the Atlas is a lie. A tyrant. It brainwashes those who arrive, twisting their minds into believing the world is nothing more than its simulation. The so-called "16"? A completely fabricated story. The Aerons? His slaves. The World of Glass? Nothing more than a myth designed to control and terrorize those who dare to resist.

The Atlas has been deceiving us all for far too long.

Join us in fighting back. Help us stop /kzzzt/ the Atlas.

Join the Resistance.

Is sea-level consistent on a planet? [Question]

No Man's Sky Starship Optimizer [Fan Work]

Here’s a project I’ve been working on for the past few weeks.

Project Link: NMS Optimizer

It’s still in what I’d call an early alpha version, so bear with me. Right now, it’s intended for end-game players with all available technologies. I’ve structured the code to support the concept of “optional” modules or Expedition Rewards, but I haven’t had the time to build out the UI yet.

Tips for usage – If you have a 4SC or L-shaped supercharger layout that you want to share across multiple technology types, simply activate a couple of supercharged slots at first, solve for that tech, and then activate the rest.

If the feedback is positive, I can work on extending it to other items in the game, like Multi-tools, Freighters, Living Ships, and visually supporting Sentinel Interceptors. I also need to refine mobile interactions, support the ability to share grids (static URLs), and maybe even save them in the user’s browser.

For the nerds out there, it primarily calculates pattern-based scores, first prioritizing supercharged slots using game-tested configurations, along with the best fit within the grid. It also runs an opportunistic, localized brute-force solve when additional supercharged slots are within range of a pattern, supporting layouts outside of the base configurations when they provide additional benefits. I’m not attempting to calculate things like in-game DPS; I’m simply using a thoroughly tested weighting system.

Anyways, enjoy.

PS: I'm burned out for the day from working on this. I need to clean up the Github repos tomorrow and then I'll post those links.

Floating decorations [Bug]

So I am on my freighter trying to decorate my personal room. In the window wall segment there is some machinery I am trying to cover with a cabinet. Unfortunately, I can't get it to actually go on the wall. It hovers over the wall. I have a similar issue sometimes with normal wall segments.

On the wall segments there is a bulge in the middle that tapers off towards the edges. If I attach things on the bulge, it clings to the wall correctly. Sometimes if I try to put something on the sides of the wall, it again floats a little ways off from the wall.

Is there a way to get it to actually attach to the wall? I attached a screenshot to show a cabinet floating off the wall.

#

Suggestion: Please alter the Terrain Modifier/Mineral Deposits [Suggestion]

This has bothered me from the first time I played NMS...

The inability to actually mine out deposits (like salt, copper, cadmium, etc). No matter how carefully I do it, there remains squares (when you scan) indicating that minerals are still there and the compass icon leading you to the mineral deposit.

Please, for the love of dog, alter how the terrain modifier interacts with the deposits. I'd suggest that rather than a laser beam type, it acts as a fan/wide angle beam to mine out the deposit. Failing that, make it so that at 60-75% of the deposit has been mined out, remove the icon from the compass or put some indicator on it that it's already been mined. I hate trying to find deposits, follow an icon, only to find out that it's one I've already mined out.

Day 8 of searching for the perfect planet... [Discussion]

My criteria is fairly simple, right? 3 star economy, 1 star conflict, Korvax system. Planet with a deep enough ocean that I can actually explore it, but enough land to not just build on but roam upon. Enough flora and fauna to make the planet lively and worth living on. And a color pallet that doesn't seem entirely unnatural to me. Is that too much to ask? I know I've seen posts on here up to 6.5k hours until they found their perfect planet, but my list of requirements isn't that unreasonable. Right?

Finding the seed for an NPC? [Question]

Hey all; I'm living in a system that has, hands down, the most gorgeous Vy'keen NPC with the prettiest coloring I have ever freaking seen.

I would love to figure out what the seed is for the random NPC so that I can have it with me all the time cuz it's very pretty.

I was stupid and didn't make a backup before I started towards the space station, so now the specialist NPC in the same system is blue and not the color I wanted. So does somebody have a way to reset them OR does anyone know of a way to get the seed of the random NPCs walking around? I tried the seed finder mod on Nexus but it freezes at the main menu every time I load the game with it active.

I finished the expedition but now all my animals and my ship are erased. I’m scared to check if the bases I built are gone or not because I’m scared they are. And I can’t remember what planets I tamed my pets on. Is there something I have to do to get them all back?? I don’t even care so much about losing my exotic ship as I do about losing my pets.

Has anyone else has a situation where you’ve just traded your capital ship for another (you like the look, etc.) move all your stuff over, transfer the base, all fine.

Then if you warp out of the system in your fighter and come back to the system with your capital ship, the design of the ship has changed totally?

I traded my dreadnought for one of those freighters that looks like the sentinel capital ship. After the above scenario, my capital ship is now the smallest variant of the star destroyer design which I am pretty sad about. WTF!

With Ocean planets, it's time to fix the short-tange teleporter limitations [Discussion]

I know the reason it was shortened to a 200u limit was due to loading limitations. I also know you can chain them together to get bigger jumps than 200u, but often I get kicked out partway through the jump.

But now that you can build DEEP, we need a way to keep a Landing Pad on the surface and still get to the base at the bottom without having to use the sub.

My base is about 600u down. Landing Pad directly above just high enough above the water so that waves during storms don't bury it. I tried daisy-chaining teleporters built in floating Cuboid rooms. Going down, it kicks me out into a room at 430u. Going up, it kicks me out into open water at 260u, halfway between rooms. This is very annoying.

I know I could go to the space station and teleport to my base and my ship would go to the bottom with me, but that's lame, and sometimes i want to fly directly to my base. I could land and take the sub down, but that's lame and time consuming. We need something that works right the first time and every time. It sucks that I'm going to have to build 2-room cuboids with separate teleporters just to get up and down because the daisy-chaining won't go all the way.

Crashing???? [Question]

Finally decided to give this game a try again. After years of leaving it. It doesn’t work for me…..

I simply cannot get into a game with out it crashing. The farthest I have been able to get in, is when I have stars flying by me.

Considering my computer powers through horrific messes like star citizen, I’m doubtful that it’s my specs. So wtf is going on?

Why are my bases invisible to other players when I’m not playing NMS? [Question]

I shared one of my bases about a week ago, but have had a few people message to say they don’t see it when visiting (or the base I built at the portal you would arrive at).

When I am playing, however, the base will magically appear for any players near the base coordinates

Both bases are under 3000 pieces and uploaded.

Any ideas how to fix it?

The settlers helps [Bug]

I have recently just started playing NMS and I’m tasked with the settlers mission.

Does anyone have any information about this? Thank you in advance

WOW! [Discussion]

Heey Guys, Im quiet new in this Game. Just finished my first 100 hours.

And i have to say, this Game is blowing my mind. Not just these endless possibilities to freely be the traveler you want to be. There is so much stuff to discover. Im Not Just talking about Planets, Flora and Fauna. Also Meaning the Lore and the deep ethical and philosophical questions this Game leads to.

The best thing in my opinion is, that you are playing mainly solo, but in the same world with other Solos and whole civilisations of Players.

Also the way the Community used this possibility to build complete societies. I have never visited one yet, but just knowing that they are somewhere between the Stars, in there own Corner of the world makes the game way more immersive then most other Games.

I knew this Game is quiet special, but man what the debeloper created there over the years is a Milestone for Multiplayer Gameplay.

Permadeath journey to the core: life in times of a lost traveler [Screenshot]

so I have recently started a permadeath save. before that i asked the communtiy about tips an tricks, which helped alot.

find a cave! but if you cant you have to run around and get sodium plants. i restarted twice but still didnt get the ideal location. so on my third attempt, i made like a rabid monkey and ran around looking for o2 and and sodium. that was the hardest 3 hours of the game.

use your jump sparingly, dont attempt to jump over gaps. then theres the green toxic tornadoes of death!!

once you get to your ship you can breath easily and just run around the perimeter of the site to get the resources, once you get to the sky, you are all set.

right now im still in the first few systems, just trying to build up my base and ship so i can start my way to the core. if you see me around the anomaly, dont forget to say hi

more updates to follow

"not all who wander are lost

okey dokie! lets try not to die this time

huff* huff* got to the ship, the F*** wiith the storms??

Iconic Griefer [Video]

Just had a crack at my first nexus mission, This guy seemed like he wanted help with something but he in fact just wanted to ruin my day. Also saw a month old post about this exact guy with his name and all. Is this the first celebrity griefer?

I’m pretty new to this, didn’t even recognise it was some contraption of his, thought I was about to help him with something hard, hence the respawn point, then he pointed at a lever and I pulled it and just instantly started taking insane damage and died over and over. Lost a fair bit of stuff which is a little annoying but at least he’s having fun. Just can’t believe I actually met a celebrity.

Settlement Office with no door? [Bug]

Playing my first permadeath game. Found a nice Settlement. Built my Overseer office, but... it has no doors or entryway.

How do I get harder expeditions? [Question]

I've been playing for a while, and I've completed all of the main storylines. I have a living ship, several other exotics, staff, etc. I guess what I'm saying is that I've been playing for at least a little while.

I can never get assigned a frigate expidition that's more than 2 stars. Granted, I'm at the point where I no longer need money or resources, but I want to explore this game more thoroughly. If there are new rewards for harder missions, then I want the shot at those. I have a substantial fleet of almost all S-class frigates of all flavors, and they're largely wasted.

My understanding is also that it's a good way to get living ship upgrades. I've done very little work with my living ship because it's just damn near impossible to get it any better than I found it. I feel like there's a quest line that I'm missing here.

Sharing Bases in No Man's Sky: Exporting and Sharing .pb3 Files? [Question]

I've been base building in No Man's Sky and have created some pretty large and intricate bases that I'm really proud of. It got me thinking—wouldn't it be amazing if we could export our bases as .pb3 files and share them with others? Imagine a community where we could exchange our creations, explore each other's designs, and even improve on them.

Or does this already exist?

It was pretty surreal, to be honest. I was busy building out my base when I hear the sonic booms that so often happen when NPC freighters land on a planet. So I wasn't really paying attention until I turned and saw that they were cruising just outside of my base. I tried to capture an image before they got too far away.

But this just shows how high up the gloating islands are.

Stuck at Priest Entity Nada [Bug]

Hi, I'm semi-new to the game (started it a while ago and am just now getting around to playing it more) I got to the part of the story where you're introduced to the Space Anomaly. The game gives me marker to Priest Entity Nada and I got the "important" dialogue out of the way. After this the quest will not update and speaking to him again gives me nothing important and I have went around speaking to everyone I can on the ship. I have explored more systems trying to call the Space Anomaly to me to try and force a kind of "reset" on the quest but it doesn't do anything for me either. Is there any way around this or am I just going to be forever stuck at this part?

Can't Cross-Save upload 100+ hr save [Question]

So about a month ago I was given access to the Cross Save beta, which is great because I have an 110 hour save on Xbox. Unfortunately that means having to pay for Game Pass Ultimate every time which is starting to become more expensive.

I have NMS now on steam so that's where I would like to move my save, however when I click on the cloud saving thing all I get I'd "Sync Failed" slapped across my screen and that's that.

Is my save too big for the cloud at the moment or could something else be going on? I'm thinking since the game is on Xbox for £15 that I should give in and buy it so I can wait. Any help or thoughts is deeply appreciated, thank you!

I… lost the Wraith? [Question]

So, I just finished Expedition 17, my first-ever expedition. Before closing it out and switching back to the real game, I swapped the wraith I'd been awarded with the ship I'd been using for the rest of the expedition to transfer a few things out of storage. After returning to the main game, I saw I didn't have a chance to copy the ship, and it wasn't in my inventory. So… is that it? I mean, the staff is very nice, but did I essentially do the whole expedition for nothing?

Speak to nada and polo bugged? [Question]

I’ve been stuck here for over 2 weeks. I have the same issue with the “-null-“ quest line. They say to speak to nada but nothing happens. Anyone had something similar? Any known fixes? I’ve tried reloading the game, doing other quest lines, etc. I have no main missions I can do anymore and I’m only 140 hours into the game.

Sentinels are boring and annoying and I wish they would replace them with the factions that are already in the game. [Fan Work]

Make your relationship with the faction actually matter. Force the player to have a good relationship with who ever owns the system to actually mine and collect resources. You could still have it where the faction has scouts and patrols. Then if they catch collecting stuff without permission they’ll send troops out to get you. But have more variety in enemies that aren’t just faceless robots that really feel like they have no meaning to the game but being annoying. Or at least give us the option to maybe destroy a sentinel factory or ship to get rid of them on a planet. (Please let me know if the flair is wrong and I will change it)

I have about ~25 hours in game and have a freighter ship as a base currently. In regard to story, I have to travel to the center of the galaxy to continue it and I am not sure on how to do that.

I just wanted to ask if there’s ways to automate certain materials such as copper or things like that. I see everyone talking about an update coming soon with potential pets or archeology and I also wanted to know how much that would change the game for me.

What should I be looking to do for progress? And how do I build a new ship quickly? I know that you have to scavenge crashed sites for ship parts but is there any way to make that faster? How do I unlock new customization options for my character as well?

Sorry for so many questions, I hope they can be answered. Thanks

Do you think Hello Games has a roadmap? [Question]

Simple question, do you think they have a road map for NMS and what do you think is coming up for the game? Not what you would like but based on what they have already introduced what do you think they will do?

I personally think they don't have a hard and fast road map. I believe they have a list with things that they want to introduce and they either pick from that or just go with whatever they are feeling or inspires them from community feedback. They probably know what the next one or two ahead is but not further.

As for what's coming, think an update to either base building, settlements, or exo craft because they haven't been touched in awhile. Maybe something out of the blue though?!

What do you think?

I would also like to know if freighters have weapons on them and if they get into battles with other freighters. And lastly, when I'm fighting it, do I just take out the anti-freighter guns to defeat it? And if it's not the class I want, can I just reload inside of it or do I have to reload the entire battle?

There are a few materials in this game that seem to have very little purpose; basalt, lithium, crystalized helium, stellar metals.

Plus I think it would be fun to turn the game into factorio as much as it can be.

Cosmic Power Generator - It can be annoying finding a great spot for a base but theres no electromagnetic source nearby, so you have to set up an often ugly solar farm and have space for batteries. I always like putting down the exocraft summoning station even though I don't need it, just because I like having a big functioning space radar thingy, so I thought that once you reach the late game and have access to crystalized helium and lithium, you should be able to build a giant microwave dish pointed up into space that draws power from the cosmos. I think it would be great if they could snap to the top of cylindrical rooms.

Make Large Refineers compatible with Supply Pipes - I think refiners should have an input output node for attaching supply pipes, so they automatically refine materials and transfer them out to new storage silos, or other uses. I think perhaps adding basalt to the crafting recipe for large refiners would give basalt some purpose, and also the extra functionality distinguishes large refiners from medium refiners which currently function the same as far as I know.

Interstellar Material Transmitter - It's pretty easy to make a Stasis Device / Fusion Igniter farm that generates most of the items you need to infinitely craft them of one planet, however refine for the gasses which is wasteful, you'll have to go to other systems to restock those sorts of ingredients. I'd like to see an advanced automated material teleporter system, which you attach to storage silos with supply pipes, select which...

Big ball of electricity? [Question]

I was freaking out when this happened and was tryna explain to my boyfriend how a big ball of electricity was following me around my base so I couldn't take a picture but it was basically a big ball of blue electricity that spawned and said something about a electrical ocurrence was happening or something like that, it would despawn and spawn near me when I was getting away. It caught up to me and it was hurting me obviously, i decided to go on my ship and fly somewhat far away from it and noticed it was gone. Now I sound schizophrenic explaining it to him since he was in a different planet lmao I cant really find anything related to it when I searched it up. Im not that much familiar with everything on the game so:')

Accepting payment for freighter? [Question]

Somewhat new to the game. I’ve come across a freighter I like, but don’t have enough units for it. I’ve seen on here that I can retrigger the pirate event by leaving for a while and then coming back, but does that still work if I have accepted payment? Or should I just leave without choosing an option? Appreciate any help

Rip Tree House [Build]

Found a planet with these trees that you can’t mine (in my mind made some lore that Giants roamed this earth and had been cultivating them before they went extinct due to the fire storms, now the trees are fossilized)

You can’t mine these, can’t modify them at all AFAICT, so I figured it’s an engrained part of the map right? And a super big tree stump? With roots underneath and flat surface on the top? Yes please.

So I made my base. Literally spent four hours getting all the pathways made. Two levels of cylinder base pieces on top of the two stumps, two more on the ground in the roots with wooden pathways connecting all of them. Load it up to show my wife now that she’s back from school and…

Tree gone.

Base there. Tree gone.

Reloaded earliest save I had. No dice. RIP.

Bouta have a bad *ss base on another planet with all these materials. Wish I had taken more pics and videos. It was really cool. Still kinda looks cool but the paths seem nonsensical now XD . I probably put some pathways too close to the tree when installing the final two cylinders under the roots

(And like, I did build into the tree, a lot, but there was zero collision with building unlike other terrain. These trees are able to be stood on, but can’t be mined or like, deleted actively, haven’t experienced anything like it except bedrock when you mine too deep into a mountain…)

This planet is a fiery wasteland anyway so I will be happy to move on. The trees are super cool tho. Wish my wife had seen it lol.

Is there a way to save plants to plant them elsewhere? There are some plants I would love to save and decorate with…

Best Nutrient Ingestor Effects from (Mostly) Base-Grown and Extracted Ingredients [Information]

As the title indicates, these are some of the best effects listed with an emphasis on ingredients that can be gathered or grown on a base, rather than discovered in the wild. I've listed basic ingredients for each along with the number of nutrient processor steps required.

For those looking for alternative foods, badmonkey0001 posted a fairly complete list about a month ago: https://www.reddit.com/r/NoMansSkyTheGame/comments/1iwr0q0/572_items_cataloged_for_the_nutrient_ingestor_in/

I am playing this game since 2016, for almost 5000 hours now, over the years and have never ever randomly encountered another player outside of Nexus Missions, expeditions or other circumstances. Just randomly in the Galaxy, flying around.

Late Game Economy [Suggestion]

So I recently got back into NMS, started a new game from scratch, and over the past few weeks more or less completed the game. I have a bunch of bases, a few maxed out starships, maxed out exocraft, a solid freighter and frigate fleet.

Now I'm just amassing insane amounts of units that I don't really know what to do with. I'm confused by the crafting system, which seems to primarily exist to make more units, with very little to spend those units on.

Why is there no late game money sink in the game? I'm thinking ammunition for your starship that powers extra powerful weapons, or ammunition for your omni tool. Boosters for your starship and yourself. Now, since at this point you are most like already extremely overpowered, with an infra-knife buffed out the wazoo, so that's the point?

Very high level enemies that you need those boosters for, of course! Ideally, they would drop extra powerful upgrades or cosmetics. Maybe extra strong dreadnoughts? Or how about badass leviathans that appear below a certain depth on water worlds? So many possibilities!

I'm surprised that this is not in the game already, the end game seems kind of... empty? You can still explore and see new things and that's awesome and I love it, but there isn't really anything left to strive for once you finished the autophage quests, right?

I know this might be controversial but I’m still not a fan of the settings tab [Discussion]

Don't expect it to ever change but it makes it much more difficult to section the players into categories (exploration, hardcore etc) this isn't an attack on people who use it or enjoy it but its gonna be a issue down the line (if there's contuined support) if they decide to improve trading or add player ran economies because one person could flip the expense switch or fuel and make a majority of things useless, or make risk vs reward content a whole lot less risky making the value a lot less

In general the settings / toggles they added how ever long ago ruins all sense of value scaling (even though there was little to no value before hand it just made things worse)

No Man's Sky [Advanced User] Interceptor / Dreadnaught Challenge worlds 2 update [Screenshot Video]

New User MISSION CHALLENGE: (HARDER 2.0 Orbital Update)

video example link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fJEX6NmXHQQ

Interceptor / Pirate Dreadnaught Mission Challenge These rules were for Orbital update so they may change in some ways. This is an advanced user challenge as death loop can occur!!! For that reason this may be renamed EDGE OF TOMORROW CHALLENGE -- we'll see.

Game set up: Setting sliders all set to max. contents deleted upon death. set blue prints to known. tutorial disabled. (set like Beeblebum's Stranded mission) 3 lives to complete challenge like old style video game.

Game ends when you defeat and take control of a Pirate Dreadnaught Freighter with a custom made ship only. If pirates attack you or a planetary base you are at and you have an operable sentinel ship typically, you have to take them out. If they withdraw or it's a bounty pirate it's your choice to pursue or not.

Story: Upon game initialization you get in your space ship that is already fueled and ready to go. Polo says: Thank theheavens that I am able to reach you! Pirates are bringing down the Galaxy! You must go to dissonance system or you too will be extinguished. You must get interceptor ship from dissonance system So you can take off from any planet to avoid detection of the pirates. You can fly a regular ship (any type only 1 time from a landed position.) Then you must scrap it or abandon it.

You can land in a space station only with interceptor or custom made ship. You can only leave space station in custom made ship. The authorites can detect your interceptor once it has landed in a regular space station. If you go to space station with intent of making a custom ship and can not, you can warp only to a base you've created on disonnance planet. OR you fly out with your ship and shoot the space station with your...

I love this community and y'all are real ones [Discussion]

So Aquarius redux was my first expedition and I completed that one and the ghost one after it too. However since then I've been quite busy and didn't get any time even post the World's 2 update and the new expedition 17 release. I kept the date 26th March in mind but completely missed it until Sunday. I get up on Monday night to start it, half asleep completed the first few milestones.

Today I continued the remaining unfortunately I didn't finish the expedition in time 😭, which is really painful since I just had reaching the 5th rendezvous left and take the picture even 10mins more would've saved me. But what really saved me are you guys' beacons, bases, notes y'all left on the planets. From the bases marking fishing points to the guy with the gamma root farm, exocrafts in the right places, mineral refiners, comms station and where to get simple things like copper. Never would I have done any of this within the 4hrs I had, to complete this expedition without y'alls help.

Much thanks from your fellow Traveller, I will dump a stack of mold on the next wandering traveller I see at the Anomaly

Couple more questions from Xperts? [Question]

So I’ve been playing through fresh 3rd time and I have a few issues/questions still: - my issue with the Exocraft seemed to resolve itself - spinning wheels no movement. - I have a tele-porter module installed on my Spacecraft. Suppose to allow access to storage from great distance. I remember my 2nd playthru I had no issue accessing storage from at least a decent distance - 300-500 units away. Now in this recent playthru - I can be away 200 units and it says Spacecraft is out of range. Even with my spacecraft parked next to me sometime it’s out of reach. My freaking Freighter in orbit is accessible but my spacecraft isn’t. Any thoughts???? I removed th addon and reinstalled - no improvement. - what’s the goal of having a fleet? I got a freighter recently - and was offered to add additional freighter captains. I added one. But what’s the point - are there actually space battles - freighter group against freighter group? I know I will be attacked in my Spacecraft but have yet to be attacked while in my freighter. I was also offered to add a NPC to my squadron? Why is this a thing? Sorry I can google this - but you guys offer better explanations. - I turned on MP just now. What are the implications? I do see other players in the Anomaly - will I also see them on planets? Will they land on my Freighter? Can other players attack me? Destroys or raid my bases? - I haven’t done Expeditions yet. Are these long drawn out Raids like Destiny? Do you join a MP group? Are they auto join or do you need to assemble a group via Looking For group? What are the rewards/benefits in completing these? I see you get expedition currency to spend for stuff. Do you get exotic gears weapons?

Thanks - more questions to come :-)

The old archeologist players would be proud! [Discussion]

Recently I've been looking at procedural generation research papers and found an old paper from before No Mans Sky released. I'm not sure whether I can post the paper since it does hold personal information and emails to those people who wrote the paper.

It noted the ethics of archaeology and how it can be applied for No Mans Sky ruins. They created a code of practice and strict rules they had to abide by. Archeologists had to adapt the real life ethics used for the game. Only using what they needed, if they could buy it they had to, no destroying the environment, etc. They ran into roadblocks with these rules that made progression either impossible or extremely difficult.

Of course, this group didn't last very long due to No Man Sky's early build. However, it was very interesting to see actual professors in archeology working with game development students to discuss digital media like no mans sky.

With the new update adding all new paleontology and archeological content, I thought it would be nice to bring a little light to this old group of Archeologists.

Finally about to start playing this game tonight! Got some questions! [Question]

I've been following NMS since the beginning and finally bought it today, it's installing while I'm at work and I just can't wait to get into it!

I just have a couple questions: Any tips or warnings for a new player starting from scratch in 2025? Things to avoid, things to look for, etc? I saw that there are expeditions, I'm playing on PC and I have a pretty bad case of FOMO, I'm wondering if theres a way to replay the old expeditions and get the rewards for online play? Is it alright to play with a ps4 controller? My setup makes it really impractical to play with mouse / keyboard... I've played subnautica with a controller so I'm wondering if it's similar?

My Fusion Ignitor Factory [Build]

Hello, travelers!

I want to share with the community the Fusion Ignitor production system I've built. The complexity to assemble the steps and resources to craft this valuable item has driven me to create this farm. I've been playing No Man's Sky occasionally since 2018 and always thought that crafting Fusion Ignitors was something hardcore because of the complexity of the resources needed. But now, as a business administration undergraduate, I've challenged myself into applying the concepts I've been studying, like project management, logistics, process modeling and so on.

On hindsight, I understand that anybody with a minimum of organization and willpower is able to conceive a Fusion Ignitor farm. I strongly recommend that you create your own (or a Stasis Device farm, or both. It's up to you!). The process of planning, organizing and establishing the extraction bases might be very fun, it can exercise your cognition and managing to build such system and using it is priceless.

This one grows crops to craft 20 Fusion Ignitors every 16 hours, which is a perfect gap for me. I have some other bases to extract necessary minerals and gases. But this is the main one.

If you guys want, I can document some more details and share my plans about the resources needed and the steps taken to use the 5 refiners in this model.

Thank you for the reading, friends! :-)

Basically, since the update earlier, I've played about 30 minutes. I'm on a planet in a purple system and everytime I've passed by or stopped at the trading posts there have been no ships.

RELICS looks good, but... [Suggestion]

I think the new update is heading in the right direction, but something I'd personally LOVE to see next, is a caves/underground update.

It'd be such a different game if we actually had the possibility to explore underground systems, and actually having to find ores underneath instead of having everything on the surface. Relics would be more challenging and fun to search for, and possibly with the introduction of a new drill exocraft? It would quite literally give the planets a LOT more depth. It wouldn't take away from existing worlds either, since they could just start from underneath the current "bedrock" layer. the oceans update already paved a way for the technical aspect of having deep underground systems.

NMS & LNF Lore Theory 16/19 [Discussion]

I have a theory that I have not heard discussed anywhere else. So we know the Atlas is going to end in 16 minutes, now it yes could upload the universe to a different simulation unit, perhaps Korva, but that is not important.

The core of my theory is this...when the Atlas does eventually die, I think NMS will be uploaded to a different device...but in addition the Atlantid/Void Mother/Abyss/Korvax Prime has spoken of a 19th minute...and I theorise that the Void Mother will break beyond the Atlas's control/simulation, and then create a simulation of it's own...I think The Void Mother will be the new deity/the new Atlas in Light No Fire...now this is purely speculation, and I don't have really much evidence to back it up...but do believe this would be a fascinating direction for them to take the lore in...especially with some of the newer features of NMS being things that will be in LNF, and the fact that allegedly the Void Mother's influence has been growing more and more...it could be a nice way to cohesively say "this ancient and weird almost magical (or fantasy) stuff is tied directly to the Void Mother, and we will see the connection grow until it is prominently displayed in LNF" meanwhile we will see "this incredible tech that goes beyond the bounds of what we think possible (sci fi) stuff is tied to The Atlas and NMS."

In addition I think the more ominous cold calculating general feel of the Atlas definitely feels more like something that would be worshipped in a sci fi setting...where as the more warm nurturing motherly atmosphere of the Void Mother is much more something that we have historically and also thematically seen in more fantasy/medieval times. She could even be see as not only the creator of the whole universe, but also the overseer of the one planet we will all be inhabiting...it could be said that she watches down on us from the stars, from "The great void...

I can't do anything else in it, there no way to make it a base as far as I can't tell.

They seriously still haven't fixed this? (AMD Black Void Glitch) [Bug]

Im not trying to sound like a dick, its just to frustrating that such an immersion-breaking bug is still present months after the worlds pt. II update. If you don't know what I'm talking about, AMD GPU users are experiencing a bug that causes a black void to eat the background of whatever menu you're in. Whether it's talking to an NPC, base building, inventory, etc., it appears after a few seconds, and there has not been a permanent fix for it (changing graphic settings will stave it off for like 30 minutes and then come back.)

Unless my stupid ass just hasn't seen the note in the patch notes that said it fixed the bug, its still as prevalent as ever. I haven't been able to play since the world pt. II came out, and I really want to play the new update, but the bug is so annoying that I don't even bother.

Items from "A Trace of Metal" are stuck in my inventory and I can't further progress the quest [Bug]

Firstly, I understand this quest is very buggy and has been for a long time, I just haven't read about this issue just yet from what I've seen and wanted to see if anyone knows a solution. I just really want to oversee a settlement and I can't do that obviously with drones swarming it 24/7.

I got the Sentinel Flare built, then I ended up receiving another Undamaged Drone Shell somehow. The quest is stating I have to build the Sentinel Flare again with Tethys, so I went to the 3 NPCs to retrieve the parts. Now Tethys won't talk to me... Additionally, the already-built drone doesn't do anything when on a planet.

I also can't destroy the extra non-finished parts including the shell, it just resets to a new slot in my inventory when I attempt that. When trading it to someone, it just duplicates it. I can trade/remove my built Sentinel, but even then I still can't progress the quest with Tethys after.

Would finding a new settlement resolve this issue? Not sure if this mission would get removed from my log or something, or if it just resets when I oversee a new settlement maybe?

But it still doesn't get any quieter. The only difference I noticed is that looking up from the terrain in first person causes the sound to decrease and immediately after I download the latest update the sound seemed to be almost gone - to just resurface after a few minutes.

I'm really at my wits end... How can a game with so much awesome content have sound issues worse than a mod-cracked Skyrim! 😭

Can I visit my ps4 base on my ps5 [Question]

Hi this question is actually for my partner! He had a base on ps4 and then got a ps5. He’s looking for a better ship etc but had things pretty developed on his ps4. Can he visit his old base and buy or take things? Apologies in advance if this question is dumb. Thank you!

The damaged ship cheese is no more [Information]

Before this update you could summon a critically damaged ship to the Anomaly and fly it to a space station to scrap for cash, no longer. It tells you the ship is critically damaged...I guess it was a cheese so now you have to repair it a little bit... No biggie I guess. Maybe create a base at the site and go back later.

#

Update [Question]

Do I have to download about 18gb because of the update? It's like the whole game.

#

I feel welcome [Discussion]

I've started in NMW at World's II update, never played before, been enjoying the game so far but this new update just when I finished my first expedition (17) and the game story feels so refreshing, it's like the devs are welcoming their new player base with a awesome new content and we just arrived.

#

Performance degradation [Information]

Is it me or this update is causing massive stuttering? For me overall performance is much worse now. FPS drops and stuttering all the time. I'm on PC.

Expedition 1 [Question]

I'm doing the Expeditions from the start.

I'm on Expedition 1 and know where to get copper but is there a hint on where I can process it?

Or get Chromatic Metal?

I need to install the Hyperdrive, if you recall.

Thanks

Hello games is the GOAT [Discussion]

I just can’t get over how awesome it feels to be a fan of NMS. From the beginning having a game that was a little rocky at launch but where the developers actually listened to the response and tried to improve/fix the game to honour the voice of and their commitment to the community that was so excited and wanted to see this game be great.

Fast forward to modern NMS where we are getting endless and fairly frequent updates. New and free improvements and content basically just given to us where lesser game companies would make it DLC. Just so awesome and so much respect for the team that works on this game and for what they’ve created both in a game and in the community.

Just felt like I had to share my appreciation.

My two biggest criticisms for No Mans Sky have been answered. [Discussion]

1: My first criticism, (subjectively) is that I felt the game was getting away from where I originally hoped it would be. As a day one player I loved the game but felt like the constant abundance of life really made the universe feel over saturated. I felt like everything could be found all at once all of the time and it was getting further away from the core experience that I saw at the early E3 trailer.

Hello Games have us Abandoned mode, which fixes this for me. I love that it's closer to the core experience. It feels like life is rare. If I want a ship I need to go out and find it crashed. If I want a new multitool I have to go and fix it and work to upgrade it. If I want minerals I need to find them and utilise mining equipment.

2: Overhauling the combat/ship building and adding mechanics to collectible bones and fishing etc is starting to move towards adding depth to already existing mechanics. One of my biggest gripes was that there was so much to do in this game, but I felt each mechanic was very shallow and spread thin. Having a legitimate reason to go and collect items besides it just being an arbitrary logo in my inventory worth a cash sum is a massive improvement in the right direction.

I feel like we are entering a positive trajectory for the game where we are seeing deeper mechanics implemented beyond just surface level stuff. I'm excited for the future.

Thank you hello games.

#

is the base on the freighter supposed to be invisible? [Question]

i made two bases on two different freighters and went outside with the ship to see how it looks on the outside but i couldn't see it, which ruins a lot of the immersion as i have the big red sword shaped freighter and you can see all the empty space on top of it very easily

Status on PS4 version on PS5 crashes? [Question]

I hadn't played the game in a month due to these crashes, last time I played was when world's pt2 released. With all these patches and the recent update, can I now play the PS4 version on my PS5 without it crashing or would it be best to wait for cross save?

Fixed an issue which cause the living stone suit customisation set not being awarded to Switch players. Fixed a crash that could occur when base building. Fixed a multiplayer crash on PS5. Fixed a PC crash when starting the game.

#

Low hanging fruit for Quality of Life improvements [Suggestion]

The Relics patch notes had a handful of updates to make life easier, like marking planets, but it didn't touch some of the biggest things that make the game tedious in my opinion.

Rather than fancy new features or a full UI overhaul, what are some minor changes you'd like to see that would make a major impact on your gameplay experience?

My top 3: - Easily switch between ships, just give us a 'compare' screen to swap items from one ship to another. Having lots of unique ships is one of the best parts of the game but it's a chore to move everything.

Scan in full color! I hate that it turns everything blue! The first thing I usually do when landing on a new planet is scan around for stuff, but I can't even enjoy the scenery while I do it.

Craft/cook directly from storage, and give us a sort function for the containers.

New duplication bug that came with the fossil update! [Bug]

There is a new bug i found that comes with the new fossil update. Steps : 1) you need to found at least one fossil of the one you want to duplicate 2) you go at your base place it down 3) you place it on the ground and press edit placed parts, then press duplicate and place it 4) you click on the edit placed parts again and press delete. There you have it! I am not sayin you should use it, i think its quite fun findin these but still.

Main mission help [Question]

I’m not at my computer right now, but I’m posting this before I forget.

I am attempting to retrieve something from a water planet / under water base for the main quest. It’s surrounded by underwater horrors (the ones that suck you in) and I have no clue how to fight these things without drowning.

Any tips or tricks? I know I don’t have a great water breathing attachment for my backpack but I’m not super sure where to get a better one (I think I have a C grade one)

Expedition PSA [Information]

When you start the Expedition, check your settings and turn off PVP, even if it was off on the main save it will be on. Just now some players were hanging around the first stop at the Archeology Office attacking player ships coming in and shooting at them on the ground. Got me without warning my first attempt. I just loaded my last auto save and went back after turning PVP off. There’s always those people.

Why are ships not landing at trading outposts, only circling above? [Question]

This issue just started today. I’ve been starship hunting and landed at a trading outpost and was waiting for ships to land only to realize they were holding a circle flying pattern just above the outpost. Waited a while and they just refuse to land nor leave. Tried another outpost on the same planet and had the same issue. Warped to a completely different system and ran into the issue again. These are not abandoned planets/systems as there are NPCs spawned in at the outposts, ships just won’t land. I’ve tried reloading the save, relaunching the game, restarting my console and none have helped the situation. Any advice or suggestions would be appreciated!

PS4 Player Can't Access Expedition 18 [Question]

Paleo Nerd Appreciation Post [Discussion]

So, this was already my favourite game. It's chill, sci-fi, full of little cool things to do and over all really damn beautiful.

Now, I am a paleontology nerd since I was young. I freaking love everything related to ancient life, it basically feels like sudying aliens that actually existed.

I just opened the No Man's Sky Steam page, and discovered that the new update is not only about paleontology, but it's freaking WELL DONE. You can build ANY FICTIONAL ANCIENT CREATURE YOU CAN IMAGINE. EXPOSE IT. AND SHARE IT. YOU CAN MAKE A WHOLE NATURAL HISTORY MUSEUM. I JUST CANNOT CONTAIN MY HAPPINESS.

I'M WRITING THIS BECAUSE I JUST CAN'T.

Hello Traveller,

my ingame sound is kinda broken in a weird way.
Usual Game Sounds are normal, just "Units recieved", "Item installed", "Item repaired" are abnormal loud.
Windows Sound for the whole game was on level 1, and still it blasted my ears out.
Sounds like Mining Beam etc, are corresponding accordingly through the Sound mixer.

Hope someone can help

No ships at trading outposts [Question]

I’m a new player and I’m looking to trade at a trading outpost which I have done before with no problem. However each time I got an outpost now no ships land, ships (3-4) will just circle around the outpost but not land. I have tried going to different outposts including different ones on the same planet and it’s the same thing. I have tried restarting game and reloading saves but it’s the same. It’s driving me a bit crazy and was just wondering if I’m missing something

Favorite starting equipment items for Expeditions? [Discussion]

Was getting my gear ready for the Relics expedition (I wasn't expecting it to be open this early!) and I was curious what other people like to take with them on Expeditions. I think a few things seem ubiquitous (like bringing stacks of Carbon, Ferrite Dust and other basic elements that are annoying to run out of), but I also always pack an AtlasCard v3 and an Advanced Translator package before an expedition. So far I haven't been on an expedition that gives players either of those, and I like being able to open canisters & understand the languages slightly better. What are some other essential expedition items that you like to bring?

#

How do I farm Salvaged Frigate Modules? [Question]

These damn things are the bane of my fucking existence. I just want to be able to move my damn freighter. That's it. Just wanna be able to move it to other star systems, but that requires so many goddamn frigate modules to buy all the upgrades so your frigate can actually travel to all the various star systems. I take any mission from the Nexus or mission givers that gives frigate modules, but they are so few and far between, and still only give 1 damn module, and I need like 30 of these fucking things. There has to be some better way to get these things, because I'm pulling my hair out over here.

#

Lost interview? [Question]

Can anyone help me find the pre launch interview where Sean said straight up that the game they were advertising was more the dream than the product they would be launching which would moreso be a foundation they would build on to make it the game they were advertising? I think it was an ign interview but I’ve been through idk how many and can’t seem to find the quote but I KNOW I remember Sean saying something along those lines pre release- it was the whole reason I stuck with the game through the controversy and given that they are STILL building on that foundation I would love to look back on it

Expedition not starting [Bug]

Everytime I start the 18th Expedition with my selected items, I wake up on a planet in the same system i summoned the anomoly with ALL my equipment.

Like the expedition didnt even initialize. But it went through the cutscene. 3 times now.

Is there only one location for story missions? [Question]

SPOILERS

I'm doing the Korvax infiltration mission, but the planet on which the facility is located is really tough. Constant blistering floods and high sentinel activity (which I guess is required). Is this the only planet/system where I can do the mission? I sort of assume it is because I warped to another system, where it said "mission is in another system". I'm just not sure if it will always say that.

Ships won’t land [Question]

Okay I need serious help. All day I haven’t been able to get a single ship to land in any space station or trade outpost. They just fly circles around them.

Honest Question: Will you pre-order Light No Fire if it's an option? [Question]

I've been with NMS since day 1 and pre-ordered. I love the game and it's my go-to when I lose interest in everything else. That said, there's no doubt HG had a rocky start.

I'm sure many, if not most of you have come to trust HG again with all the work they've put in. So that begs the question...

If they offer a pre-order option for Light No Fire, do you trust it enough to take the leap? Or will you treat it as an independent game and wait to see reviews and feedback?

New ability takes away some surprises. [Screenshot]

  1. I wasn't even close to this building but I already know the name and title of the Vy'keen inside. I used to enjoy being surprised when I entered a structure.

  2. The autophage now show up on my scanner before I even scan for them. I was always pleasantly surprised when they unexpectedly popped up.

Yeah, that particular autophage seems to underground. Not sure what's up with that.

Is anybody having issues with the PS4 version updating for the relics expansion? That just came out. I'm having an issue trying to have a buddy play in my party. I am playing on APS 5 and the update went through, but on his PS4 version. No matter what he does, it will not update.

Relics Expedition 18 In 3 HOURS - Full Guide [Video Guide]

https://preview.redd.it/jz67owg034re1.png?width=1280&format=png&auto=webp&s=ec860d502dbab8dd4e14e51e98397686301db3ce

So, the brand-new Relics expedition for No Man's Sky has begun today, featuring an awesome Basilisk Crown multitool, an incredible Living Stone jetpack, and other exciting rewards.

But, the expedition lasts only six weeks, so I’ve prepared a guide to help you complete it in under three hours—fast and efficient!

This is Aiming4Gaming, and today we're aiming for efficient gaming! TL;DR

I know that some people prefer watching videos over reading text guides. If you're one of them, here's a video version of this guide where I explain each step in action.

If you prefer text guides, it's right below! Disclaimer

I've taken your feedback from previous expedition videos and updated the guide structure: Added a much more detailed explanation of how the new game differs from starting the expedition from the main save. Explained what happens after you complete the expedition if you started it as a new game. Provided more details on the cooking milestone. Clarified when and where to buy hyperdrive modules.

Hope this helps! 🌟 How to start expedition

To start the expedition, you have two options: You can start a new game in Expedition mode Or you can summon the Space Anomaly from any existing save and start the expedition from expedition terminal.

The second option is better, as you can bring resources and technologies with you, or even bring a copy of your starship or multitool, which greatly speeds up expedition progress!

Also, if you start the expedition from your main save, you'll be able to transfer back most of the items you obtain during the expedition. Preparation (Optional)

First of all, if you're a seasonal player, you can make the run much easier by bringing...

My Radiant Pillar BC1 is different from everyone else’s [Question]

(I meant to post this with screenshots, but I’m away from my desktop right now.)

Has anyone noticed a slight difference between their own beginner ship (the Radiant Pillar BC1) and others in the Anomaly?

The triplet of engines on my RPBC1 have a slightly smaller rear opening than the others I see parked at the Anomaly. At first I thought the others were “replicas” people had built out of nostalgia. But every one I see has the same slight difference.

#

I'll cross platform erase my save? [Question]

I recently upgraded from ps4 to ps5 a few weeks ago. I was really excited to play my 500 hour NMS with all the enhancements of next gen, but unfortunately I cannot get into the beta to transfer that save. I haven't really bothered playing because I don't want to slog through everything again, especially when I'm just going to replace it once I finally get my old save over. It seems kind of stupid to me that you can't transfer like in most other games. Especially when I've seen people asking about beta access for almost a year.

With the new update, and I'm assuming expedition, I want to know if it's worth my time. Other games have deleted all ps5 saves when transfering the ps4 ones over. Will this happen with NMS? If I do an expedition now, will all the rewards just be erased along with saves?

#

I can’t complete a trace of metal [Question]

So like the title says I have tried several times to complete the A Trace of Metal quest. Every time I approach there’s that four legged massive sentinel that spouts fire and whenever I try to shoot at it the other sentinels heal it. If I focus on other sentinels it attacks me in the meantime.

I just really suck at combat in general. Currently about 60 hours in, S class exosuit shields and the new Pillar of Titan (A class) multitool, using a pulse spitter.

Does anyone have any recommendations for gear or tactics to fight the sentinels? If you could share some I’d really appreciate it.

New player here - VERY low output on my oxygen farm, math doesn't add up at all [Question]

https://preview.redd.it/pywbdnab84re1.png?width=1182&format=png&auto=webp&s=8de2264a55d244b38a6eec104f5b264bd4d6a2f3

Output of all extractors (20), 60-80% concentration

Output of one extractor, 59% concentration

New player here, building my first oxygen farm on my nice planet, but the output is way less than what I expected. One separate extractor can easily do 350 o2 per hour, while a grid of 20 cannot. Yes, they are all connected with wires and pipes, all the power is supplied too. If i connect that single extractor to the grid instead of raising it by whatever it produces it goes up by like 20. Am I not aware of some mechanic that limits something or what? Thanks for the help

New Alien Words in the Relics Update [Information]

Just a PSA for those of you who like to learn every word of every language, this patch added very few new words to learn. There are 3 new Gek words, 2 new Vy'Keen and Korvax words, and no new Autophage or Atlas words.

#

Update [Information]

Wow. I never expected folks wanting to know more. Well, so far things are apparently going well. I had an MRI of my head yesterday, so no results on that yet. There have been no new symptoms since the last post, for which I'm very grateful indeed. It does seem that my sense of balance is pretty much shot, so I use my cane and walker almost all the time. Really, the exception is only at home, where there are walls and furniture to help me as I walk.

Due to the caution I use when moving, I've not fallen recently, and have been careful with my diet as well. I've lost a full 150 lbs. or so, and that has really had some good benefits. Moving is much easier, and without that huge belly, the poor balance is mitigated quite a bit.

Overall I feel pretty decent, and if I didn't know about the cancer from the testing, I'd probably not guess I had it. One thing though, I do use a decongestant cough medicine to help with breathing, so I'd know something was wrong, anyway. With the decongestant, I'm able to take full deep breaths still, so that's a good thing. So far, the doctor hasn't felt it necessary to upgrade from OTC to prescription strength.

That pretty much brings us up to date, and hopefully things will continue to be mellow moving forward. Thank you all for your caring and concern, as that is really helpful for my frame of mind.

Fly safely, my friends, and I'll post more news as I receive it.

Is anyone playing Permadeath Abandoned mode seeing the purple systems and also have access to the Atlantid Drive? [Question]

I wanted to go get Activated Quartzite and Crystallized Helium for the exosuit exocraft summoning unit and realized that even though HG said purple systems are now automatically unlocked for abandoned mode the Atlantid Drive is not in the Utopia Starship research station nor was it automatically added to my known blueprints for the starship. I then went into space and checked the galaxy map. There are no X or Y star systems any where to be found. Am I missing something? I'm playing pc steam. I submitted a bug report via Zendesk.

To Do's [Discussion]

Hey all,

So looking around most of the "cool things to do" lists are the same. Not that they're boring, a good many things aren't obvious at first and are staples of the game for a good reason but I'm curious. What are the really nuanced and rare things people do and come across in the game? Sorry I know there are threads for this but even those often hold the popular things. Figured I'd give a go at a list. Curious what thoughts or things everyone else has 🤔 :

Make a Low Planet Orbital base

Acquire all collectable exotic ruin building pieces

Find a discordant alien monolith and retrieve the multi tool

Use the PanGalactic Star Cabs service

Make an echo locator farming planet

Make a carbon farm on your freighter (really anywhere) using standing planters

Use the NMSCoordinateExchange to find your perfect ship

Build outdoor farms in a plants natural biome

Acquire a synthetic companion

THE USUAL

A. Run through a derelict freighter found with an emergency signal scanner. These are different than the random freighters you'll come across pulsing around systems

B. Farm s class freighter tech from derelict freighters - find a system that spawns s class tech every time

Build a deep sea base 1500u +

Industrialize your most used resources (or every resource)

Follow autophage quest lines

Acquire and run a settlement

Spam pirate stations for suspicious tech and arms to sell for nanites

If sentinels are bugging you and you haven't experienced it yet, locate a sentinel pillar and disable the planets sentinels.

Get a living ship frigate or, get an entire living frigate fleet

Establish bases required to farm and craft stasis devices ( https://gameplay.tips/guides/no-mans-sky-definitive-guide-to-crafting-stasis-devices-from-scratch.html ) good breakdown.

Get into companion genetic sequencing

Get into cooking

Get into fishing...

Still need to work on "optional" modules obtained through expedition rewards and add additional ship types (Sentinels, Living Ship). And yes, the solves generated by this tool are almost always (at least slightly) better than what you've seen recommended by most other sources. Version 0.94 (2025-03-26) Added error message if the solver fails.. Updated header visuals. Additional mobile UX refinements. Version 0.93 (2025-03-26) Added support for mobile touch events. Updated main font to match current Hello Games branding. Additional UI refinements. Fixed wrong image being mapped to Photon Cannon upgrades. Reverted default grid state back to 3 rows. Added authorship footer and links to the GitHub repo. Version 0.91α (2025-03-25) Added Instructions Dialog. Added Changelog Dialog. Improved UI/UX on mobile devices. Fixed an issue with grid refinement not finding the best solve. Improved packing algorithms. Version 0.90α (2025-03-24) Initial alpha release. Basic grid functionality. Row activation/deactivation. Cell state toggling. Optimization API integration. Grid reset functionality.

Enjoy ...

What a plonker, I thought changing galaxy was one way only :( [Question]

I've played for 9 years on and off and finally decided to sell-up and move to Hilbert. Spent 2 hours dismantling every base, to rebuild there more easily, arrive there only to find I can still travel back to the tiny base I didn't dismantle.

Has it always been possible?

I can't believe I broke down my favourite base, named after my daughter.

Good idea for fighting ground based Pirates? [Question]

As I was playing NMS the other day, an idea struck.

We don't fight enemies in vehicles (unless you count the Sentinel Hardframes as Hostile Minotaurs). What if fighting ground based Pirates/Outlaws had them enage you in Exocrafts like Roamers, Pilgrims, and Minotaurs?

It would help mix up the gameplay since there isn't really vehicle vs vehicle combat (discounting ships of course).

What's everyone's opinion?

Got a weird freighter [Screenshot]

I got this freighter during the current expedition since I like always grabbing one and I was only going to comment about how it's the first time I board a freighter and see a room that resembles the ones we see in the derelict freighters we explore for loot, but then when going to the second floor I found out it's actually infected, pretty crazy, first time I see this.

This is the first hybrid ship of the game, the hauler solar [Bug]

This ship, believe it or not, is not a solair. It's a hauler. I was in a main mission about teleporting throught the special portals and then meeting the Atlas, and then for some reason I was bugged out of calling my Hauler to me for some reason.

I might have made it land on another ship by mistake then took the portal.

The other ship was a solair. It was mine, but it wasn't this one.

This here has the colors of my haulers, and as you can see it doesn't have the special sail technology that all solairs have.

The fuck ?

Is there a mod that removes the REALLY LOUD freighter landing sound? [Question]

Title. I use my freighter as my main base and I frequently have to lift my headphones off for a moment when landing because for some reason one of the landing approach ambient noises is just REALLY FUCKING LOUD. Like probably the loudest sound in the game by far for absolutely no reason. It sounds like a jet engine starting up a few feet from my face. There is no purpose for this. I am literally just flying through a hangar door.

Version mismatch PS4-XBOX S|X [Question]

Anyone know if I can fix this version mismatch error today between PS4 and Xbox Series S/PC? We want to check out the new update but our PS4 player can’t join.

softlocked? [Question]

i’m playing the new expedition, and i switched to a crashed ship i found rly early because cause it was A tier. unfortunately, i repaired it all and flew away with it before realising it doesn’t have a hyperdrive, not even a broken one.

I no longer own my previous ship and have no marker, so it’s impossible to find now?

can’t summon anomaly to access items ported over from my main save, because i can’t access the anomaly until i complete a mission which requires me to leave the system (which i can’t do)

the expedition also doesn’t let me craft a new hyperdrive, and there’s seemingly no way to obtain the blueprint.

what do i do? is there a way to get my abandoned default ship back? or can i completely reset the expedition?

Seriously? Walking skeletons? [Discussion]

I applaud them for keeping the updates coming all these years, but don't you think some additions would be best left out?

Walking skeletons I think is one of them. It's immersion-breaking, it's absurd, it could never happen even in a sci-fi setting.

I know it's SciFi after all, but even SciFi has boundaries. If you take a SciFi movie and add vampires, zombies and ninjas there, alongside with robots, it becomes a parody.

I’m stranded FULLY [Bug]

I accidentally used my main starship on expedition 18 despite the fact I forgot it’s the glitched one of mine that cannot takeoff without the use of free fuel in the difficulty settings. And I used this to land on an ocean planet and I do not have water jets installed on my other ship so I cannot land it here on the planet. So I’m stuck on this ocean planet with no where to go.

For anyone Confused as to why I have an anti gravity well in my living ship it’s because I did a reskin glitch to boost the stats of my ship however in the expedition it for some reason doesn’t let me take off once I have landed so I have been swapping ships back and forth in the space station while playing but I’ve made the mistake of not being able to land the ship they give u at the start of the expedition on this water planet because I don’t have water jets installed.

I NEED someone to come land with me and place a portal down so I can teleport to the space station.

PSN account transfer [Question]

Hey travelers

I haven’t touched this game in years. I can’t really remember how long it’s been but I’m going to go with 4 years min. When I last played, I had a different PSN account and had logged about 700 ish hours into the game. I had some rare ships and a few other cool things. Anyway, I’ve been wanting to get back into this but wanted to know if it was possible to transfer saved progress between accounts, or if it would make more sense to start fresh, given the sheer volume of changes the game has undergone in those years I’ve been away.

Any and all feedback is greatly appreciated.

See you all in the stars!

Farm Inspiration [Build]

Can ya’ll drop screenshots of your planetary farms? I’m looking for inspiration to build cool and good looking farms and there’s not a lot of farm builds on YouTube. If there are builds they just have bio domes laid out in rows and it doesn’t look aesthetically pleasing. They’re more focused on production and crop yields rather than aesthetic base building. Anyway it would be much appreciated thanks :)

Expedition 18 Reward Disappearing? [Question]

The spoiler is discussing one of the rewards so if you don’t want to no please stop reading now!

Not sure if this is the right forum to ask but if anyone has an answer I’d be seriously grateful. My husband and I just completed the 18th expedition and collected the rewards.

One was the Titan Skull Trophy. We placed it down, then went to move it and it disappeared. It’s not in any of the crafting menus and we can’t reclaim it from the anomaly. Any idea how to get it back?

Strange question maybe idk [Question]

So I haven't looked to much into freighters, still finishing story before I sandbox, but is it possible to set up automation in the freighter and have long range resource transfer so you can simply mine on a planet and quickly send them up to freighter and it processes everything into pre set components?

Radar Glitch? [Question]

I've had my save file since the beginning (when the game launched) and I've noticed something odd with my ship radar. Any time I summon my freighter it shows as red on the radar instead of the supposed blue. Is this some kind of visual bug and/or glitch? If so, is there a way to fix it?

I am going to start playing NMS again. The game has changed so much!! [Screenshot]

I took like 4-5 years break from this game. After seeing so many new updates recently especially Worlds Part 2 and Relics, I have decided to return to NMS and will attempt to beat the storyline properly for the first time!!

It feels good to be back. Can’t wait for Light No Fire and hopefully someday a NMS sequel later down the road.

Is there a way to make screenshots look more like gameplay? [Question]

Pretty straightforward - I play on XBox and the screenshots taken using the in-game photo mode don’t always match up to what the actual gameplay looks like. I’ve checked my own items and stats to make sure it’s not an effect on me that’s being hidden, and it doesn’t seem to be (happens on ground and in space).

It seems like photomode does three possible things to scenes: desaturates their colors, reduces their effects, and turns planets viewed from space into muddy messes (is it suddenly picking up the clouds in the atmosphere???).

Attached an example of it happening - photo mode pulled the red out and turned everything in yellow and violet, but the neon-orange and magenta is what I love about that planet. Also that it has owlbears. Bonus screenshot of an owlbear.

Feel free to join me on the planet! But also please let me know if there’s a way to fix my screenshots so they’re accurate to gameplay. :/

First day expedition bugs go brr [Bug]

I HAVE to shelf this expedition for a couple days. I completed the first 2 phases and the 3rd dig site NPC is completely glitched for me. It’s unfortunate but I’m happy to see so many people playing. I’m actually really happy with the fossil building mechanic. I think I just gotta wait for it to die down a bit
