Curious deposit disappeared [Question]

So i've been playing the game on and off and the last time i played back in november last year i had found a planet that had a couple of spawn points for curious deposits. I farmed them a bit and took a break from the game. Now i have returned and when i went to farm a bit more nanites i was met with some very rude brain looking flowers that gave sack venom when harvested instead of the curious deposits. Im wondering cuz i haven't ready any patch notes since I last played, did they patch, remove, revert or just replaced the deposits and have they changed anything else, because i also had placed solar panels and portals on each spot which now require 2 solar panels to power everything there? Im also relatively a noob to the game . Thx!

Cross save uploads. [Bug]

Hello,

I'd like to know if I am the only one experiencing constant problems with cross save uploads on pc/Steam.

These errors of upload have been going on for a while now, at least for me, since my completion of the last expedition.

My Custom Ship Is Gone ]: [Bug]

So logged onto NMS today before work so I can start setting up a new base. When I turned around, I saw my custom ship I usually use (blue one) got changed into the gray one. When I hop into the ship the cockpit isn't the one I had in the blue ship, but it is 100% my custom ship, due to name. has all my power ups. and the same inventory. Is this just a visual glitch or something else? Kinda bummed since it took forever to get my custom ship.

Stuck in a void below the portal on Axentha Sigma for the Starbirth mission [Bug]

So I was on the Starbirth mission. I used a portal to jump to Axentha Sigma. When my jump ended, I was stuck in this void below the portal. I'm in a swimming motion, but I can't reach the portal or get beyond the green "shield" thing around it. I'm 255 hours into this save and I'm stuck. I emailed Hello Games a few days ago but haven't heard back from them yet. Have any of you experienced this before? Is there a fix? Or is my whole save done for?

Back in after years away [Question]

I bought this game at launch forever ago, played for about 100 hours and it fell off the docket.

I reloaded this weekend and it's a very different beast than I remember.

What's a recommended way to start? Just do the quests? Salvage ships? Fossils? Freaking fossils?!?

I almost died from this bug in the anomaly!!! WTFF💀❌ LOOK AT [Video]

I entered the anomaly as usual and my character appeared below the ground. After that, I tried to climb up and started falling into the void! If you see, my health started to drop too much. I thought if I reloaded my technology, I could survive, but I almost died from this bug. I reloaded the game and luckily I appeared on the floor of the anomaly. It was crazy. It made me really dizzy falling into the void of infinite space!!!💀🌌🪐

Okay, hear me out… [Question]

So, back I the day I bought a PS4 specifically to play NMS. I saw the trailer and I bought into the hype and thus bought a PS4 to play this game. Roll on release and I was disappointed. I think most people were. But I had looked at NMS as a sofa alternative to Elite Dangerous, which I was playing heavily on the PC.

Long story short; I was elated, then kinda okay with it, then apathetic.

The hype did not live up. And also I found out that Elite had been released for console so I ended up getting an Xbox (again) and moving on.

Roll on however many years to now…

I found NMS on sale as part of a wish list I had forgotten about. Curiosity took the better of me and I bought it.

Where the hell has this game been?

I’ve spent hours just exploring the starting areas. The story feels vibrant and rich and it played so buttery smooth on the series X. I’m overwhelmed by the amount of content in just the first few hours.

I’m not ashamed to say, I’ve been wrong about this game. The devs have fixed this.

Found my first S class freighter, but i dont like it? [Question]

So i stumbled upon this freighter randomly when i was trying to recruit some frigates to my fleet.
Didn't look impressive or anything but it turns out it's an S class. Seems very cheap and I'm no fan of the looks of it, i have a Pirate dreadnaught already (b class) but i like that one much more.

Is it even worth swapping to this, whats the fuss about S class freighters? doesnt seem that good

Slowly getting back into playing. [Discussion]

I was pretty much a Day One player, and really got into the Zen of the early game. It was easy to put loads of time playing, as I was the sole caregiver for my late wife. Made it real easy to get the early game achievements.

I did so much, especially building my first base, as an agriculture center. Initially, so I could produce the large amount of glass I needed. My wife's passing was just the first of many major changes in my life that took me more and more AFK. Transitioning, becoming the biggest change. I even got to the point of not needing a computer at all.

Oh, there has been many changes in No Man's Sky, since I last logged on. But was heartened, when I updated the game through steam and discovered my NMS Persona was still on file, with my S class Exotic Triton, waiting for me. And the first new thing, I get involved in are the settlement missions. And after a quick look around, I find myself stuck in a combat situation. Strange sentinels attacking, and I'm shooting at every floaty robot thing in sight, while trying to figure out the keyboard commands. I know I died at least once, and I cowered inside a building while looking at the keyboard maps. Soon discovering I only needed to take out the strange sentinels.

So I get my overseer's office built, and start working with that interface. Seeing the Base Teleport, I get curious, and yes, my first base is there. However it's not the same planet when I was last there. And reconnecting to the game after so many years, I find out that a power system has been added to base building. So finding myself in a "roach motel" situation I reloaded the save.

The issue with corrupted games saves, I managed to fix, somehow. And after playing with an early alpha game for a couple weeks, I back and discovering what else has changed.

Suggestion: Expand creature breeding with genetics, mutations, and base defense [Suggestion]

Hey everyone! I’m a relatively new player (40 hours) and I’ve been loving No Man’s Sky so far. One thing that really caught my attention early on was the creature system; finding, taming, and breeding alien animals. But after some playtime, I realized the breeding mechanics are mostly aesthetic, and creatures don’t have much gameplay impact.

So I came up with an idea that I shared with Hello Games and wanted to bring here for discussion: Cross-breeding compatible species to create hybrids with mixed physical and behavioral traits. Imagine turning a passive creature into the ultimate apex depredator, or a base guardian over generations. Genetic mutations that can happen randomly, producing unique offspring with special abilities, like bioluminescent eyes, sonic roars to repel enemies, or maybe like two heads. A Genetic Lab/DNA Bank to extract, store, and manipulate creature DNA. Players could research and unlock new perks like camouflage, elemental resistance, or increased resilience. Risk and reward: If you push genetics too far, it could get unstable, like defective offspring with unpredictable behavior or shortened lifespans. Getting bones from creatures you defeat as trophies, instead of just finding bones from a planet full of fossils. Exploration of distant planets to collect rare DNA fragments or astrobiological samples to unlock new mutation paths and hybrids. A Creature Codex to track lineage and evolution, like a living Pokédex for your alien pets. And finally, creatures could be trained not only for riding or light resource gathering, but also to defend your base, fight enemies, or participate in coliseum battles with friends.

I think this could add a huge layer of depth and replayability to creature interaction, making pets more meaningful

What do y'all think? Any ideas to improve it? Could you...

Powering up just my Base Teleport [Question]

After coming back to the game after awhile, I discovered my first base still exists, yet on a stranger world than I remember. Thing is I have several, relatively full vaults of agricultural materials I need for my initial settlement. Teleported in and discovered that I needed to setup a power system to even teleport back to my settlement. So I thought all I needed to do was connect a Biofuel Reactor to the Base Teleport and I'd be good to return. NOPE!

Everything looks good, conduit connected, fuel in the reactor, generating 50 kP but still nothing. I noticed another number on the reactor 801 kP. Is that 801 my entire based requirement, as I saw that only 20 kP is required to operate the base teleport.

How can I only power the components I need, without constructing my entire power grid, as I only need the teleport and access to my vaults for right now?

Traveler's Log – Entry 001 [Fan Work]

System: Dexoisa-Asaf Home planet: Gamumbor Gamma Vital status: Stable Current location: Outer orbit, personal ship rest Mode: Extreme Survival (Permadeath)

I woke up confused. Tired. Only with a sudden awareness, as if something—someone—had turned me on after being tossed around the galaxy. I don't know how I got here. I don't know what I was doing before I opened my eyes. But the first thing I felt was the heavy, humid air of a green planet, vibrant and silent at the same time.

My exosuit—a machine that seems to know me better than I know myself—spoke to me immediately. Warnings of lethal humidity, and levels of unidentified life. It was like having an artificial instinct attached to your skin. He guided me step by step, as if he knew I wouldn't know what to do on my own.

Around me, nothing recognizable. Rocks covered with lichens. Sparse vegetation. Sickly green skies. I only had a rusty multitool clutched in my hand, and the constant hum of my suit correcting the internal temperature. I forced myself to move. I followed the directions. I collected scattered materials: ferrite, sodium, carbon. The names came to my mind effortlessly... even though I didn't remember ever saying them. While I thought about how I had gotten there, because it seemed like I had been lifted from a long distance and I didn't remember anything. I continued collecting the materials that the suit indicated, until it stops.

In the distance, there is a weak signal, I decide to get closer. I glimpse a large shadow.

A structure half buried in the ground… a ship. Damaged, forgotten, maybe mine. Or maybe from someone else like me, who didn't survive. I don't think too much, but it's an opportunity to get out of here. Repairing it was an act of faith. He had no experience, just instructions whispered by the suit. I replaced boards, recharged systems, reconnected burned cables. Everything...

Sean might have hinted that he's in LA for Summer Game Fest [Information]

This morning at 5:42am PST (LA timezone) Sean posted a NMS screenshot of a sunrise on Bluesky.

5:42am was also the exact time of the sunrise in LA today.

That's not to say that Sean is showing something at Summer Game Fest, but it seems too coincidental for it to not be a hint that he's at least attending the event.

Finally got a decent ship on an abandoned mode game! [Screenshot]

I'll keep the radiant pillar of course. But FINALLY, after around 7 hours, I found a nice A class sentinel ship on a dissonant planet. I got a locator that led me to an autophage camp. I built a base near it and will just farm it for more ships when I need units. Too bad the camp didn't have a decent multi-tool too.

Abandoned mode is kinda fun, I must admit. There's a real sense of alone-ness when playing. And, it's more exciting when you actually come across something like metal fingers or good tech upgrade drops. Things are harder to come by for sure.

I'm still playing around with the best way to earn nanites (per my earlier post- thanks for all the tips). I think the best and fastest so far, is to farm radiant shards and mirrors. I'm still building out my multi-tool and defenses so not taking out lots of sentinels yet. But soon.

The immersion is, however, lacking at times. Some planets have fauna and some do not. Bug? Flying into the anomaly you see other ships there, and you see them landing and taking off, but don't see anyone. Should I just tell myself it's alternate universes colliding? Or bug? Sometimes in the anomaly I can see just staffs being rendered but no people. Bug? On derelict freighters I sometimes get salvaged frigate modules but can't do anything with them. Not planned well? Or should I just tell myself they were still in storage from long ago when people and freighters DID actually exist here?

But those are minor and inconsequential. I am enjoying the play-thru, maybe almost as much as when I started my current permadeath run.

Now- I just need to find a decent multi-tool...

The Anomaly: How do you know how to help people? [Question]

Okay, so this is probably a bit weird, but I like helping people. I mean, IRL, but also in games. I used to give away NM loot in FFXI, random money or items or whatnot in WoW, etc.

I know people hang around the Anomaly afk or are just there doing stuff, and I know people are given things all the time. And apparently there's some way to let people know what it is you need if you're after something...?

How?

Maybe this is naive, or maybe I'm just gullible, but if I've got a bunch of stuff that will help someone, I have no problem sharing. It's something I like doing, and if it makes someone's experience a little easier or more fun, then all the better. I know I somehow ended up with like 70 M units within hours of jumping back into the game; I'm still not sure how it happened, honestly, but now I wonder if someone didn't drop expensive stuff on me without me realizing it.

Regardless, I'd like to give back, if I can. I assume it has to be items, but honestly I'm not even sure what the limit is there. So let me know: How do I help other Travelers, and how do I know what they need/are looking for?

Thanks!

My favorite multi-tool so far [Screenshot]

I'm about 9 hours and 30 minutes into my first survival save. So far I have gotten my frigate. I've explored so many planets and tried my best to not only explore but do some of the story. I can access the space anomaly now which I never knew existed. Out of all the things I've seen and done so far. This is just peak for me right now. Im not changing the name. I like the title Unusual Ion Stabilizer. But the way it looks. So sleek and something i would see in a future Halo x NMS x Destiny collab of something. Thats my update for right now 😅

Wings that make starship trails [Question]

About the refiner [Information]

Well... It's not very safe information, test it at your own risk 😆

After reading a comment about a flag preventing items from disappearing from the refiner... So I spent the week testing and actually some refiners with the flag nearby don't add items... I tested 4 bases and only one disappeared. I left it for a week and the items were still there...

But the most interesting thing is that all the refiners with a battery nearby didn't disappear at all... I always found it strange that some bases in other saves didn't disappear items... But I didn't know what was affecting them... I replaced the flags with batteries and I'm going to test more this week...

And that.

Let me tell you a story, about no mans sky. [Discussion]

Let me tell you a little story, about no mans sky.

was, I want to say.. 13 or 14 at the time. It was around summer of 2021 I think, and me and my friends were looking for a game to play. We were looking for a game that had to fit our very specific demands. That was, it had to be space themed.. it had to have no black or white loading screens.. and it had to be something we had never experienced in our lives. We searched.. and we searched.. untill we came across a game for £40 on the playstation store called 'No Mans sky'. What did we do? Well I told my friend.. "Nah looks boring." So we kept searching.

About a week went by, then I saw it pop back up on my recommended. I thought to myself, 'I didn't look at this properly..' so I looked again. But I mean i properly looked. I looked at it's past. It's future. Its present. I said to my two friends at the time, "we get this game. Now. And we play it. Now." At the time i didn't have £40 to purchase it, so me and one friend went through the effort of enabling account sharing on playstation so that when he buys it, I could play it.

We booted up the game, and when I tell you how excited I was to play this game.. I mean it. Just from the one video and images alone on the ps store, I knew something that my friends didn't. We had just stumbled upon the greatest, most underrated, visually pleasing game of all time. From the vast lands of vibrant colour to the strange and peculiar creatures. The structures of mystery and the vast plane of space.

We pumped hours and hours into no mans sky, even when my friends got bored, even when I thought about having a break. I just.. couldn't. No mans sky had me hooked for all of the right reasons. And it wouldn't stop. Sentinel. Outlaws. Endurance. Waypoint. Fractal. Interceptor. Echoes. Omega. Orbital. Adrift. World's part 1. Aquarius. World's part 2. Relic. And now the bacon...

This newbie just bought a random ship, was it a stupid mistake? [Question]

Really don't know what I'm doing yet, but some random trader landed near me so I just bought his ship. 🤷 I figured I had some units saved, I like the color, and it has to be better than my starter ship (right?), so why not. 😂

Before it's too late, was this a stupid move? Do I keep it, or roll back to an earlier save? (If it matters. I haven't even been to the Anomaly yet, but it's my next stop. )

Missing Person Mission – No Target, No NPC, Can’t Progress [Bug]

Hey everyone, I’m currently stuck on a Missing Person mission from the mission board, and I wanted to see if anyone else has experienced the same issue or found a workaround.

Here’s what’s happening: The mission is highlighted and active. I went to the system indicated by the mission. The mission text says I need to find and convince the missing person to return. However, when I land on the planet, there’s no NPC, no marker, and no target to interact with. Sometimes there’s just a broken drop pod or crashed ship, but no one is actually there. I’ve tried using Target Sweep, reloading the game, swapping quests, even traveling to a different system and coming back. Nothing works. My mission log still says I need to “find the missing person.”

I’m also currently doing the “A Trace of Metal” questline to unlock Sentinel Interceptors, and I need to raise my standing — which is why this quest matters.

Is this a known bug? Should I just abandon it and try another mission?
Any help or advice would be appreciated. Thanks!

Sentinel Interceptors [Question]

Hello.

I have a question, which I can't seem to find it on google. When i play co-op with my gf, we sometimes get attacked by sentinels. The problem here, is that SOME interceptors i cannot attack.

They have a blue target around them (assuming it's my gf's tracker on that ship) but even so, i deal dmg to it (the auto targetting system doesn't work for that specific ship, so i have to manually target it), but NOTHING happens.

I see the dmg numbers, when i hit it, but it doesn't loose health. Also, when the carrier arrives, it's either me or her that sees it. If i see it, my gf won't, and the other way around.

Why is that? Any way to fix it?

Thank you.

Why can’t Explorer type ships be painted black in the ship fabricator? [Question]

I’m currently working on a custom fleet of ships, so a hauler, a fighter, a solar and an explorer. I’ve been ship hunting for the parts I want to build them. I got all the parts to build my Explorer, so I went to the ship fabricator to build it, yet the stealth paint isn’t an option. My hauler and my solar have both been painted using it, but it isn’t even in the UI for the explorer ship.

I also find this odd because a couple of the explorers that I scrapped for their parts were black, though not the stealth black, but even a normal black isn’t an option.

First Timer's Story [Discussion]

I feel sort of in shock. I just "finished" the main campaign, aka the Artemis quest. I refused the Atlas because I thought there was another way. I didn't think restarting the cycle would do anything else.

But now I'm stranded with the thought that I can never change that option unless I do a new run. Enjoy the universe until Atlas dies is paraphrasing my main mission. I feel like I unintentionally got the bad ending.

Here I thought that by making the journey to the center, I'll meet Atlas for the final time. Nope, just on to the next galaxy with everything I worked hard for broken. That unmotivated me greatly, moreso finding out that my choice with the Atlas was final.

Damn, I was enjoying the story, but this sort snapped immediately. Yes, I can hunt for the lore and whatever, but I wish there was a more satisfying conclusion than "Oh well, you denied God, enjoy the universe till it dies, I guess lol."

I'll still enjoy the game, but that left a bitter aftertaste.

Kicked from nms starcabs discord for suspicious behavior [Question]

Nms star cabs is a discord where you can get transport to other galaxies for ppl who dont know. I requested a cab around 1 in the morning 2 days ago. i didnt get a reply for a couple of hours so i went to bed. I checked the next morning and I checked my message and they got back at around 4am. I assumed that it would be to late now so i made another request around 8 pm im in a lot of discord servers so I had to eat after I sent my message and I got back around 9 they had sent a message saying that they were ready at 8:30 and I messaged them i was good now but they didn't get back. I definitely should have managed my time better but it shouldn't be a banable offense. All the cabbies have been incredibly nice and it sucks not being able to use the cabs. If anyone knows who to message about this it would be appreciated.

Why do tutorial missions have to be turned on? [Question]

Was going to start a new Perma death save, I don't really need the tutorial and it's just a hour-long slog hurdle to get through that causes disenjoyment.

Why do we have to have tutorial missions for a play style that is obviously meant for experienced players?

Maybe Perma and survival should be set to default as tutorial = disabled/off.

First Sentinel Interceptor [Screenshot]

I've actually had it for some time, but was trying to find at least an A class so hadn't used it (it's a C class). I couldn't find any more interceptor crashed ships for a long time (didn't know you could just fight sentinels and destroy the big ship for locators). Was using the distress signal maps you buy with nav data, kept finding other ship types.

So I got tired of searching, looked up how to farm curious deposits for nanites and upgraded this C to an S class and it became my main ship.

Can't find claimed crashed ship. [Question]

Started a new save, just before you get to the anomaly, there's a crashed ship you come across.

I liked it so claimed it, but didn't fix because of no materials. Figured I'd come back later. Didn't place a base computer.

Am I stuck with a ship in the call menu that I can't find or is there a way to either find the ship or delete it from the call menu.

Returning to giant worm... [Question]

So I've been on and off since the game came out, mostly off, but I've peeked in a few times, either way, I restarted, found a nice world and started building my base, that's when I met Jim, the Titan on my world classified as an Immortal Worm, and designated "The Devourer" he has a red dot when I view him with the scanner but I can't scan him. He's docile and doesn't destroy my buildings so we're cool, I've seen others with videos of Jims on other worlds, so... what is it? Can I have it? Is it just there to jump around our world?

Hey, does anyone know what the current way is to transfer save from ps4 to ps5? [Question]

Hey everyone, recently my Fiancé had the privilege of being able to upgrade her console to a ps5, she has been playing no mans sky with me for some years and to my knowledge some time ago the feature to transfer saves over got removed and the cross save beta is also full. Is there any other way to transfer a save over? Or does she have to play the ps4 version for the time being?

Crossover expeditions, they're a thing right? So what if the imminent update is a crossover expedition with Light No Fire? Makes sense? [Discussion]

https://preview.redd.it/bmbov7aq7q4f1.png?width=2560&format=png&auto=webp&s=d9d6e457208a9a52fe33bcfa73c24ce034b0aa5e

Bacon becomes beacons, we follow a trail of lit beacons, to find the Light No Fire Planet, where reality has broken down completely and animals can walk and talk, and there are no beacons, because 'light no fire'...

The end of the expedition coincides with the launch of Light no fire

The expedition rewards include a Pet Dragon, a Multi Sword, and Shining Armor.

Expeditions [Suggestion]

This is more of a suggestion than question, but I'll start off with a question... Why doesn't Hello Games have a previous expeditions going every time a new one ends? There are plenty to do. Some of us haven't done them all. What would be even better is if there isn't one active, the player can go select the ones they want to do. Waiting for them to cycle through is going to take forever to finally get them all done. Or is there a way to activate a previous expedition and I just don't know how?

Returning player ( ps4 ) [Question]

Hello community :-)

I first played the game on launch way back when and as you all know it was pretty damn empty.

I’m after tips and helpful information to get me started !

K&M or Controller? I have the answer! [Question]

I’m a new player and have about 10 hours in the game, first 5 with K&M and the last 5 with a controller. When trying to figure out which one was better I browsed this sub but didn’t see any answers I was looking for, just personal opinions.

Here’s what I’ve come to as a longtime PC gamer who doesn’t use controllers often, even for games like Skyrim.

• K&M is good when I need to aim during combat but controller is better in every other aspect. •Inventory management is much easier with a controller. (Google AI give the exact opposite answer, DON’T LISTEN TO THE GOOGLE AI ANSWER). •Flying is much more fun with the controller, hands down no contest.

In my meager 10 hours I’ve spent way more time sifting through my inventory than any combat, so I’d say it’s better to use the controller and switch every now and then if you have to.

It definitely helped that I spent a few hours with M&K so I already knew the keybind for weapon switching if the combat came on suddenly (It’s the G key) but yea, definitely give controller a try if you can. Especially bc most survivalcraft games are M&K exclusive, so it’s real nice to kick back and grind.

Does this game get any more fun than the beggining? [Question]

I don't mean to sound like an asshole but I just started the game and it's really boring at the beggining. I am at the point where I have to create a hyperdrive and I honestly am having a hard time finding any interest in me to play more. I honestly expected it to be like starfield since I LOVED that game(pls don't hate me) but rn it's like doing a job.

All I've done is visit like 2 very similar planets and just mine stuff. The space station was cool but nobody's giving me any new missions and everything is too expensive. The main storyline isn't intriguing me personally.

I am on game pass so I have no time limit or anything to look out for before I can refund. I just hope the storyline gets interesting or I get to do something cuz rn the game is just putting me to sleep

No Man's Sky Update Idea: Freighter Min-Maxing [Suggestion]

The freighter is simultaneously one of the most in-depth and the most shallow systems in the game, so I've brainstormed a collection of ideas to keep it the same feel and a similar concept, while also providing the player with more options on how to run your freighter and its fleet of frigates as a way to add more depth, all without creating a necessary upgrade or a roadblock for the player to overcome for their freighter:

Managing Your Crew - As a way to maximize your freighter's productivity, there could be an option to view your fleet's entire crew and hire/fire/promote members to positions similar to how you manage your personal squadron. While having an incompetent crew wouldn't detriment your freighter too greatly, you could greatly boost your freighter to be a much more productive and useful tool.

Freighter Squadron - While your freighter visibly has a vast array of defenses on it, I find it strange that it uses them in quite literally zero scenarios. My second idea is not only to make these weapons functional, but to be able to hire your freighter it's very own squadron of ships it can send out. Too keep this from being way too OP, this feature wouldn't be activated unless the freighter is within range of a large space battle with pirates, meaning either a large group, a dreadnought, or perhaps some new kind of massive patrol of pirate ships. This would function similarly to the regular space authorities (ships with green contrails) except your freighter's ships would have whatever colour contrail your freighter uses, as well as the pilot's your fleet takes in having the same menu that pilots in your personal squadron do showing their skills. They would be bought with credits and NOT nanites, but would be much less effective.

NPC mini-quests - Similar to the way you would repair frigates, you would see an NPC's status beneath their name, and some...

Switching galaxies - chaos ensues [Discussion]

game is pretty flawless for what it is.

But I've found a thing that makes me want to tear my skin off and spam Hello Games with exclamation marks.

Being a fairly casual kind of "Story? Lol" play - I've actually never switched galaxies. Played for a looooong time though. First time I actually never got to the base building quests, but managed 100s of hours. Today I finally went ahead and did the full Artemis thing.

So the problem is - obviously - the heart of the sun object.

Because I didn't realize I needed it - or that the only way I can get it - is through Atlas stations. Which I haven't been going to a lot - because they're boring and I dont care about the story (We get it, simulation, sad holograms whomp whomp)

So first I had to literally re-kit an alt starship - to be capable of jumping. Then hop through tons of stations to get the recipe. To know sit here and go through the absolute goddang bs that is "core of remembrance" to get further - on an assumption it will fix my gear so I dont have to myself.

And this could've been avoided. If the "Jump 16 times for glyphs" quest - didn't just activate on each jump. But would've pushed me to Atlas stations.

In an otherwise 10/10 game. This, is terrible design. And Im annoyed. So I post. Otherwise 10/10 ToilGek recommended.

Please be adviced new players - go to those damned stations.

Do you guys like my Vending machine? I hear these are vintage. [Screenshot]

No glitch building, just adjusting size pieces to see what I could come up with. It's a server as a base, two side panels on each side, a storage panel changed to black on the bottom. The shelves holding the items is called 'shelf panel' and it's just 3 of them stacked on top of each other. The items in the top row are shrunken pails Second and third row is spark plugs Insulated flasks in the center and shrunken cement bags below that. Illuminated sign on top with a slight skew in its orientation for flavor. I want to play with the design a bit more, maybe add a wall screen but I like how mechanical it looks at the moment.

Any feedback would be appreciated, I love building in this game 🙂

Is this a good co-op game? [Question]

I and a couple of friends are looking for a new game to play together, and since this game is on sale, it's on our radar, so I just want to know a couple of things:

What kind of activities can we do together?

Does it take a long time to get to those activities?

Are we stuck to 4 players on a single session? Or can we do more? (Not super important, but on the occasion we get everyone together (5-6 ppl) it would be nice.)

How does the save feature work? is it like an MMO? (Because I think you can have permadeath or multiple saves and etc), and so, to play together, do we all have to be on the same game mode?

When we play together, do we have a host ? Like, if we build some bases together or something, will it be on the host save file?

I just want to know if it's a good co-op game because I saw a bunch of reviews and stuff, and to me it looked more single-player focused (maybe I just got the wrong impression).

honestly idk if i asked good questions, but thank you for your time!

Cave diving [Screenshot]

I found a planet that is littered with these extremely long cave shafts. I spend a lot of time exploring caves in this game and I’ve never seen anything quite like this.

Managing base terrain limits with neurodivergence... [Question]

Hey! I'm new-ish to the game and, as someone with obsessive tendencies, I've run face-first into the base terrain edit limit — and it's really throwing me.

I love building bases into the ground — underground lairs, cliffsides, natural terrain. It's my favorite part of base building. Coming from Starfield (Stockholm syndrome and all), being able to edit terrain at all felt revolutionary.

But I didn’t realize there was a hard limit to how many terrain edits you could make per save — until I hit it. Suddenly, I’m seeing red Xs and habs stop clearing terrain. No feedback, no warning — just broken flow. Now I'm stuck obsessing over every tiny terrain change. I have OCD, and honestly, I spend more time restoring terrain than playing the game. My kid loves the Geology Cannon — I see chaos. 😐

I want to enjoy building again, but I can't stop fixating on how to avoid edits. I've even gone into my savegame and deleted terrain edits manually, but I assume I now need to re-upload all the bases?

So: Is there a way to see which bases still have terrain edits counted against you? Is there a web service or in-game method to check or clear that data properly? Can you use multiple save games to get around the terrain cap, or is it universal per account?

I know this is a niche problem, but I’d love any tools, tips, or insights from others who've been here. I’m not mad at the game — just trying to manage my dysfunctional carapace 🤣

Thanks in advance!

Any tips on finding planets with dense populations of egg-laying creatures? [Question]

Hey folks — I’ve recently gotten into cooking, and I’m hitting a resource bottleneck: eggs. Not companion eggs — I mean the kind you get from feeding wild creatures and harvesting them (like milk, but for our oviparous friends 🐣).

I know how to spot them using the visor (not intuitive, but I figured it out), and I do find the occasional egg-layer… but it’s usually just one or two, surrounded by a herd of milk machines. And because the AI harvester only works if you're physically nearby (and only at a powered base), I basically have to sit there and watch the grass grow — just to check the harvester and find five kinds of milk and maybe four eggs in the last slot. 😐

So yeah — I’m looking for: Planets with higher concentrations of egg-laying species Tips on biomes, star classes, or planet traits that might increase the odds Or just a known good farming spot someone’s found and doesn't mind sharing

I’ve searched the sub, but it's mostly posts about companion eggs or how to scan them — not how to find more of them efficiently.

Appreciate any pointers! My Nutrient Processor is hungry 😊

Idea for an update: upgrade melee battle and coliseum [Discussion]

I was thinking about how melee attack is lame on battles and then I got an idea: a space Coliseum where you can fight npcs and other players with only melee attacks.

An npc that rules the Coliseum that is a mechanical vykeen called: hades.

Block, parry and attack functions by adding a multitool module called parry or block.

A multitool that is a mechanical guantlet that the main feature is melee attack (also the strongest) by making a fast and big melee attack.

An armor that resembles a mechical armor that is covered in paint war and scars and also bones.

An a Jetpack that is called: warcry.

The Jetpack that makes a roar everytime you use It while having the appeareance of the body of a sentinel dog fused with other sentinel parts.

Also add lore to the vykeens with this.

Some problems and suggestions I have about the game. [Discussion]

I hope sean reads this reddit becouse: I love this game and have put over 400h into it but it still lacks some things.

Good combat: the combat in the game currently sucks and even if the game isn't about the combat It would be nice if they improved upon it and added some new enemies.

Expeditions suck: I'm sorry but I just cannot bring myself to enjoy expeditions. They will advertise the Expedition as some sort of a lore filled adventure but half the time I'm doing filler quests just so I can unlock an ingame skin that doesn't even do anything. And I liked a few of them but every single one that has lately come out I just cannot bring myself to enjoy. What I propose they do is make a new quest without the boring filler parts of the expedition every time that an expedition would have come out and we should be able to play it with our main save. Example of what I'm talking about (I start the expedition on a gas giant and I'm exited to see what new lore and fun new missions they have prepared just for the 1st quest to be: "land on all the moons that sorround this planet", and the 2nd one to be "cook food" or whatever.

Updates that are put out sometimes fell like they are trying to do add so much useless stuff for no reason. For example fishing is a cool little addition that I couldn't care less about after 2 hours or the liqudator much that I can't use becouse there's no good combat or enemies in the game. And I'm not gonna be surprised if tomorow they add something like a underwater volcano that has a cool eruption every 2 minutes and does absolutely nothing else and can't forget about the expedition of course.

This game needs something that isn't just some new flashy gimmick but actual content. For example: instead of an update every 3 months or a little more take a year, take a year and a half and add a system where I can get a fleet of freighters...

My Permadeath Mega-Base: Flora Elkupalos Research Network (FERN Island) [Screenshot]

Captain's Report: " [KG] Yubinova Star System G8p//Water Nunabei Mass Region Elkupalos Galaxy Planet "Arbor" Considered a "Caustic Nightmare"

Contact made with: Flora Elkupalos Research Network (F.E.R.N.)"

I've made it to the centre so many times on this save that I'm in Elkupalos and decided it was time to use all the resources I've acumulated on a big project. This little island has over 120,000 worth of hand-collected carbon in flora and assorted plants/exotic decorations. If you'd like to see a specific area, comment a location from the first slide and I'll share some screenshots I've taken while walking around the base 🙂

It took me approx. 27 hours of playtime to "complete" the base in a way that felt satisfying.

Permadeath guide [Information]

I wanted to make a little guide on how to survive Permadeath and complete the achievement without using the portal shortcut. When you spawn go into the cave nearby and make at least 20 ion batteries. Don’t be in a rush to get to your ship. Mine essential elements first. Local weather can kill you and so can big falls so take no chances. Permadeath is all about avoiding fights and hiding. Even if you know you can win the fight, avoid it for the first 30 hours at least. Cloaking for the MT is essential. Building bases to mine resources is key to gathering a large amount of resources with low risk. Doing the main story for building your base will give you a ton of free tech plans so you don’t need to spend nanites. Getting your first free freighter is essential to making units from scraping ships without fixing them first. And you make nanites from selling the tech upgrade plans you get. You need to warp 5 times I think for the first freighter battle. Grind sentinel ships on dissonant planets to make units and then go to a space station and buy and scrap A and S class ships to quickly gather ship storage upgrades. If you install radar on a exocraft you can scan for drop pods. I usually get 3 to 8 pods per planet. The base weapon specialist gives you unlimited MT if you finish his tasks that you can scrap If you take damage then reload the last save. Make saves more often. If you have to fight the sentinel dog do it from an elevated structure you build. They can glitch into holes in the ground but they don’t climb stairs. I essentially built a treehouse base to finish the weapon specialist mission.

For the first 10 hours I was constantly freaking out about dying but then I calmed down and realized I can survive. Eventually the confidence builds. Take it nice and slow and you’ll get there too.

Feel free to add your own tips. Good luck!

What’s the appeal of permadeath mode? [Question]

Hi! Long time player here (1k+ hours) and looking for some new things to do in NMS.

For you permadeath players out there, can you help me understand the appeal?

I’ve only died twice in normal mode- once because the game failed to render the floor of a floating base and once because the game glitched my starship into the hull of another ship (where it banged around in rapid succession and killed me).

Had these deaths happened in permadeath I feel like I would have been pretty bummed out that THIS is how I died. Obviously I love this game but I also recognize it’s pretty darn buggy at times.

So, what’s the deal? Is it so different than normal mode that it makes the risk of death-by-bug worth it?

Thanks in advance.

Third Ship Class: Yacht (Concept) [Discussion]

Haven't touch NMS in years, but was about to hop back on when I had a thought. One of my favorite things in games is when your transportation also acts as a hub of sorts. Think Kotor, stuff like that. Kinda surprises me that we don't have anything truly like that in this game, and thought I could throw out some ideas and see what the community thought of them.

So, yachts. Similar to normal starships, there would be multiple classes of ships, with much more impactful differences between them. However, they would all have commonalities.

They cannot be purchased, and are instead found after receiving a distress beacon. There would be a quest received that lead you towards a randomized ship. After that, beacons would be randomly received or found other ways (I don't remember how you got them but I think you can purchase them)

All would included the ability to walk around the interior, with space to place (limited) fixtures. No terminals that require a worker or trade would be allowed, and no base specific terminals either.

You are able to set your speed and stand, allowing your ship to continue while you move around. This would also be the case during light speed. Any incoming communication would be received by returning to the cockpit.

Now for the various ships. These parallel some starship classes, but doesn't not have the same number of options.

The Escort - Fighter equivalent. Comes with lower inventory, a decent amount of space for building, and a series of automatic cannons lining the top and bottom of the ship. There are still player controlled cannons near the front of the ship. These will not fire on sentinels unless you initiate combat yourself, but will automatically destroy any pirate. If you are raiding a freighter, they will prioritize hostile ships but will assist in destroying resources.

The Vault - Hauler equivalent. Comes with massive...

Should I buy ? [Question]

Hi, I have recently started thinking about buying a new longterm type of a game. I have tried many mmos, survival games and other stuff such as valheim, minecraft, poe, warframe and so on. I was just wondering how the game is like compared to the market in terms of grindness, playtime, reward system and if playing with a friend is possible.

Can you trade launch auto-charger? [Question]

Hello everyone, my friend and I are new to the game and after makeing it to the Space anomaly we decided buy different upgrades with our nanites to unlock everything faster.

Problem is after crsfting a launch auto-charger for each of us I can't seem to give my friend the other, so the question is?

Is something broken here or can yiu not trade upgrades?

Is it like this for all the Nanite recipes?

Problems with multiplayer [Question]

I need your help. I've been a veteran of the game since the beta, but I'm only just starting "real" multiplayer with friends.

I wanted to play with friends yesterday. I have a PS5, they have a PS4.

They received my friend code and now have me in their NMS friends list. I received their code (multiple times), but I don't see them in my friends list. When I try again, I get the message "Already in the list."

We're in the game together in a group (same lobby, of course).

Nobody can see each other's bases, and we can't teleport to each other's bases.

Is this buggy? Am I doing something wrong? Are we too stupid?! Thanks for your support (I hope I explained the problem sufficiently)

My Orange Steel Majestic Beast That I Named Harpy One [Screenshot]

Had been searching for S-Class of this design since first saw it landed in a space station in some system of my early days as a Traveller.

This is the first S-Class of its kind that I found and the colour (orange + high polished bare metal) and the feather like antennas help me to pull the trigger. *this is also the first ship I found with that antennas design.

For me its a good find and in case anyone searching for a cool S-Class Explorer, refer last picture for the coordinate! Found it at trading post in that system.

Living Ships [Question]

I have gone through the living ship quest line with the void egg and all the 24 hour waits, received the living ship, All good. I was looking for a ship I liked better, found the coordinates, and there is a crashed ship there, not the living ship I was looking for, but there is a marker there that says living ship and communication devices that say "THANKS!". I turned multiplayer off before setting down on the planet, logged out, back in.. Still no living ship? I am sure I am not doing a required step, but I am mystified about what it is...

Question about the Minotaur Hardframe parts [Question]

Do the hardframe part always break easily?

i used the minotaur A.I twice and both times the body broke with in a few mins and if i have to keep getting a Radiant brain to repair it then its just not worth using in my opinion.

So did i just have bad luck or is it normal for it to break so fast ?

Sooooo Happy we have a Settlement Update ❤️ [Discussion]

Whether you have avoided Settlements because they were buggy or you were always a diehard fan of Settlements like me, and just kept grinding away, I think we're in for some fun! 😃

Will my PS4 No Man’s Sky save transfer if I download the PS5 version? [Question]

Hey folks, I’ve had No Man’s Sky on PS4 since launch. Got it on disc. I’m playing it on my PS5 now, but still using the PS4 version.

Thinking about downloading the PS5 version from the PlayStation Store instead so I can get the upgraded visuals and performance. My question is: will my PS4 save automatically carry over to the PS5 version? Or do I need to do some sort of manual transfer?

Would really appreciate any help before I make the jump 🙏

All base information saved online? [Question]

I noticed that my save game file is only 800 kb in size. That doesn't seem large enough to store all my base building information (or is it?). So are all our bases stored online on a central server? I thought that was only the case for bases we "upload".

Thank GOD I didn’t watch any playthroughs [Discussion]

Is it just me, or do I feel like playthroughs spoil the story? When I first started I had to restrain myself from watching any playthroughs. It looked so interesting and it’s nice to see what the game has to offer. But now I reap the benefits of that sacrifice.

I will try not to spoil anything for people who haven’t gotten this part, but it’s a big plot twist, and apparently we are in the matrix and there’s 16 left. That’s all I can say without spoiling much.

I was genuinely shocked when this information popped up, and I have never been more interested in the game than now.

If you guys are just starting, maybe hold off on watching playthroughs.

But for anyone who has finished the quests, how much longer do I have? Have I finished half?

#

Well played, HG, just when I thought I could get out... [Discussion]

I always told myself that as soon as there was a feature to let me completely abandon settlements I would never deal with them again.

And with the latest update the devs have given me the ability I have longed for. But then they also added Autophage settlements. The Autophage are my favorite npc race, so how am supposed to ignore a whole settlement of them?

So all I can say is: thank you devs for so deftly foiling my plans and giving me a feature I was not expecting. All of you are the best.

New Update [Bug]

Goodnes guys, is It the very first time y'all play a new update from a game? Bugs are COMPLETELY normal, and I see a lot of people complaining to the point of raging against the developers lol.

If you want to play a game without the chance of a non-expected experience then just wait until the game is compleatly done (I know it sounds stupid, but that's how people sound while spitting on devs) Be aware that this is just like seeing a series that is not finished yet, things might change and there are numerous possibilities why this can happen.

Be a little patient, just days ago we were all talking about how amazing it is that they don't charge a single coin for this.

This is a great community in my opinion, let's keep it that way guys!

Is Nintendo switch version still going to be focused on after switch 2? [Discussion]

Hey! So im a switch player and have been playing NMS for almost a year now. I really enjoy the game.

That said I also know that the switch version is basically running on hopes and prayers and hello games is making it work but switch’s hardware isn’t really built to run a game like NMS. Heck it sometimes struggles when I’m playing a Zelda TOTK, which is built by Nintendo FOR the Switch.

I was looking at the trailer for NMS’s Switch 2 stuff and noticed that Sean mentioned quite a few times how hard it is to run the game on switch and how switch 2 is gonna fix a lot of problems.

Also the fact that we don’t have settlements in switch but switch 2 will be getting the bacon update.

Does this mean hello games woll stop supporting / updating the switch version cuz I mean switch 2 is a better console to work with?

I ask this cuz I love playing this game but I’m not gonna be buying switch 2 anytime soon but I also don’t want to stop getting updates on the game and play the newer updates.

So basically what’s the future for Nintendo switch players of this game who might not buy switch 2 anytime soon?

Planetary structure engagement [Question]

How do those who play NMS on a weekly basis handle each new update that adds a new planetary construct (i.e advanced planetary trading hubs, settlements, etc.) in relation to your main base?

If possible any tips on how to do so?

Is the game a good place for a pilot? [Question]

Essentially what the title says. I'm considering getting the game, it calls me in general but I need to know: how does piloting a ship feels? I come from House of the Dying Sun and need to be able to pull off flying stunts and shoot things... I've seen there's ship customization and space battles, so the question is, does the game have content to scratch the space pilot itch? Would someone be able to dedicate to it primarily, or is it more of a side aspect for the game?

Tangentially too, if there is this kind of content, how long does one take to get to it? Does it need to be unlocked?

(And before anyone jumps to my throat, yes I know there are other games for this, and chances are I know them, but the question is about THIS game. Reccomendations are welcome, but if your idea is telling me to try something else you're not really answering the question)

Did someone else's base randomly change colors? [Bug]

My base had all wooden walls colored dark brown (I believe it may be called Mahogany, not sure tho). When I got to it after the Beacon Update, all walls were now blue or bright red.

The second screenshot show the original brown color beside the new red, I do not where it came from. I don't even believe I can achieve this red and blue colors without glitching.

I think this only happened to wooden walls, stone parts seems to be unchanged.

A tribute to NMS (Part 1) [NMS-IRL]

Currently in the process of getting this NMS themed half sleeve! Inspired by the beautiful art of NMS; this a tribute to how much this game means to me! I could go on and on about all the intricacies we’re all familiar with that have either inspired to be creative, connect with friends, or simply embrace our own freedom to explore, build and grow in an infinite universe.

Some will say it’s just a game, but just as many will resonate that it’s so much more. Wherever our journey takes us, whether amongst many or alone, inside the NMS universe or our own, we remain connected.

Look to the stars, Travellers. Journey with care.

Don't sync save from PS5 to switch [Bug]

The PS5 must have gotten a newer build number due to critical bug fixes HG had to do and that causes the save to be incompatible with the switch until the next update meaning you can't play that save anymore on switch for at least a few days.

Also don't try to click on teleport to settlement on switch, that broke my save as well.

Question- How newbie friendly is the game? [Question]

Hi,

Saw the trailer for the new update on social media, became intwerested in the game. One concern I have is that I've never played anything similar to NMS-no- no space survival games, no survival games in general. I understand that with every new game, there is a learning curve. My question is how steep it is in NMS, and how complicated is the game's UI? Is there a tutorial of some sort?

Question about Switch / Switch 2 and cross saves [Question]

I'm setting up cross saves between Steam and Nintendo to allow me to continue my save on the Switch and Switch 2 - but I have a question.

I understand settlements don't work on the Switch - if I were to try the save game, which has a settlement from Steam - will it just not appear, or will it be removed from the save file if I save it on the Switch?

New Update - Quicksilver Missions [Information]

Playing the new update, very cool so far! I went to do my daily Quicksilver mission and when I turned it in, I saw another one was available. I did that one, and yet another was available! I ended up doing four in row, with yet another one still available!

I know they can stack up to three, but I do mine daily and the icon was never more than the individual Quicksilver icon. Probably a glitch, but a good way to get a bunch of Quicksilver quickly! I’m playing on Steam.

Come on baby light my fire. [Screenshot]

No spoilers. I just wanna communicate how excited I am.

This game has literally gotten me through my depression, caused me to think and rekindle my love of languages (named planets after Mesopotamian deities and kings, named systems after numbers in Sumerian and Akkadian, switched the interface into Russian which has been a great refresher). I built one stone and one metal Ziggurat and built a wall and gate around my settlement. I've met fun people from all over the world, had dangerous encounters, and nearly shit myself when that giant fish came out of nowhere to try and eat me. Thousands of planets named, thousands of pirates, sentinels, and Geks vanquished...

What could be next?!?!?!?!?

Also, no matter what happens, I am thankful for this community putting up with my annoying ass. Y'all humble me and welcome me. Thank you.

Final note- I hope they enable me to kick Geks off my freighter and out of my settlement. Nasty, smelly buggers. No offense, grah!

Questions about how multiplayer works in No Man’s Sky [Question]

Hey everyone! I’m new to No Man’s Sky and I have a question. The multiplayer system in this game is a bit confusing to me — not to play, because inviting a friend is easy and I already figured that out — but I don’t really understand how it actually works.

For example, when a new player starts the game or creates a new save, they begin with that tutorial to fix the ship, right? Does every new player start in a random system? I imagine with the game having something like 18 quintillion planets (I think?), it could easily afford to do that.

Another thing I’m curious about: is it possible to randomly encounter other players in No Man’s Sky? Like, can I just be walking around and stumble upon someone’s base? Or is that extremely rare? Just trying to understand how it works lol.

How do I fix invisible planets? [Question]

Hi hi! :) I've been really enjoying this game, it's like a dream come true. I've been playing for 70 hours now over a couple weeks but all of a sudden when I started up the game again today on Game Pass, every planet is invisible and doesn't start rendering in until I enter the upper atmosphere, then the terrain starts loading in patches.

I'm not sure what to do, I tried updating my graphics driver but it's already up to date, I restarted my PC obviously, messed with the visual settings in game, and checked for anything running in the background that would cause it to happen. I removed every mod I had installed and started a fresh new file as well to see if a mod just suddenly broke my save file for some reason, but once I got into space it was the same thing. I even completely uninstalled the game and re-installed it after removing the mods but no dice. I spent a lot of time on Google too and I didn't really find anything about invisible planets except one or two posts made clear back in 2016. My PC is running fine and I've had no problems running NMS since the first time I launched it until now, it was fine when I was playing it 10 hours ago.

What else can I do to troubleshoot this issue that I haven't already tried? I'm not a computer geek but as long as I can find a post or website to guide me I can figure anything out but I can't find anything specific to my issue.

Why do I hoard everything in NMS? Beacon Settlement upgrades, that's why. [Discussion]

My productive A-Class settlement was reduced to a C-Class with only 3 settlers. Fortunately, I hoard everything and was able to upgrade every building to S-Class in less than an hour. I now have 163 settlers, but my happiness is down to 73% from 100% before the update. We'll have to see how this all plays out over the next several days. I was very disappointed that upgrading the buildings only upgraded their stats and not their appearance. Part of me was hoping for SimCity-ish upgrades,

Autophage Staff Damage Potential [Question]

So I tried to get myself a decent S Tier Staff, but everytime when I get one, the damage potential is like around 500. C Tiers are around 3000 for me. Now I got this A Tier with around 7000. I don’t understand the system behind this. Would a C Tier Staff with 3k dmg potential be better than an S Tier Staff with around 500? Do I just have bad rng luck? I‘m using the reroll method so I‘ve seen a couple of them but all S Tier were terribly low on stats and had less slots then C Tier.

Just like the title says. I'm considering buying the game to play with my Meta Quest 3 and I'm unsure if there is enough content. I love survival games like ARK, The Forest, RLCraft, and V rising. How is the experience in VR and is there enough content to keep me going or?

Can’t continue “In Stellar Multitudes” [Bug]

Like the title says, I can’t continue the quest. I’m on PS5 and have done part of the quest that reveals the first purple system. The quest then tells me to return to the anomaly to “rendezvous with the inhabitants”. I have talked to the robot, then polo, then nada, then polo again. This is where it is bugged.

For some reason polo refuses to give me the blueprint for the reality anchor, and I am locked in this endless loop of him telling me not to worry for nada, and that he believes the blueprint will work. There is no option to take the reality anchor blueprint and only gives me the option to leave.

I don’t know what to do at this point because I’ve reported this bug a few times now since the update came out, and then took a long break because the quest was broken. I missed both expeditions because of this and don’t plan on coming back to the game unless there is a work around or honestly a fox put out by hello games.

I do love this game and I know it doesn’t seem like a big deal, but this is on my 300+ hour save file and I don’t plan on staring a new game from scratch just to be able to access content I should be able to play.

I hope someone can either help me or if everyone could please report this to hello games as it doesn’t seem like a bug affecting many since I’ve only seen one post with my exact issue.

Thanks for listening to my little rant and plea

Can't see other people's bases anymore after the update... [Bug]

Greetings. Upgraded the game to Beacon Update. Now, even if I'm connected I can't see other players' bases anymore. And my father doesn't see my base either. Planets that used to have tons of base markers are now empty. My base, in my father's game, doesn't exist if he goes to the planet by portal. He only sees a comm-ball. The base isn't there. It's the same for all other bases...

Tried to turn off and on, turn online off and on, nothing works. Did the update break the system?

Should I buy the game? [Question]

I've never played the game and would like to know if it's still worth starting it. I know very little about the game and would buy it for PS4 even though it's expensive in my opinion, but I'd like your opinion.

Give up settlements [Question]

How can I give up a settlement? I can't build anything there and upgrading isn't possible too. It makes no sense. How can I get rid of this shithole?

can anyone help me understand the Reloading trick? [Question]

So I am very new to the game, I have only been playing it for a couple weeks now. I have learned there is some saving/reloading trick to get different multitools and ships to spawn. I have read the guides but don't understand how to get this trick to work as every time i do a save and reload on an S class multitool on a space station it is still the same one. it doesn't change. I am clearly missing something

An old settlement just reached S class [Screenshot]

This old settlement was originally c class then managed to A class before worlds pt 1 , I didn't visit it much since ha , with new update I was able to raise it with shorter timer changing custom difficulty settings , some new things noticed is fishing pond and ship upgrade terminal . Autophage settlements currently have no overseer offices building so I will wait until hotfix before flying to the invitation mission.

Thoughts on the game [Information]

So I've been playing No man's sky for the past 2 days now, and I've got some thoughts I want to put down somewhere. First of all, the visuals are really, really great, especially for a game made in 2016 (which wasn't that long ago, but my point stands) When I first booted up the game, I made a save file and went in normal mode. As a Destiny player, It was all too familiar, seeing my character wake up, with no memory of their past or how they got there. I mainly followed the objective, fixing my ship and continuing the story, getting to the Space Anomaly, and getting to see Apollo for the first time via Holo-Terminus. Then I explored creative mode. It was amazing. The freedom is unparalleled. I can actually fly my ship, something we can't do in Destiny, so I was happy with that. Since I had infinite Units turned on, I bought a capital ship and started messing around. The music, however, is either really good or just okay. Like Destiny, No man's sky has mostly ambiance. The milestone popup where really repetitive and annoying. The exosuit's automated voice got a little annoying, but to a fare lesser extent. Overall, No Man's Sky is a very good game, and I have a feeling that I'm just getting started.

After More Than 600 Hours, I Finally Found a 4-SC Ship Naturally [Screenshot]

I've been a big ship hunter since very early in my NMS playing, and even though I found myself playing less and less, I had to come by and visit with the update.

Now, despite hunting ships for a long time, picking up all sorts of Sentinels with neat shapes, trying to find the largest Hauler I could, enjoying the custom ship building to break down ships into parts, there were two things I never found on my own: a ship with all 4 SC slots connected, and a Squid exotic.

Well, surprise surprise, I'm returning to one of my established systems in Calypso, I finish a pirate battle, fly in to check the freighter's class, and lo and behold, this exotic flies in.

It's a shame it's not a "first wave" space station exotic or a crash site location, and I'm all the way out in Calypso, so overall it's not a location that's pretty to share anyways. But I can finally cross this one off my bucket list: without building a custom ship or using someone's glyphs, I finally found my own 4-SC ship -- a cute little Exotic, all in my home system.

As for why it shows 0 DPS on its photon cannon, I have no idea.

There is no Purple [Discussion]

The color purple does NOT exist. Your brain just makes it up.Here’s a color twist you didn’t see coming: purple doesn’t exist on the visible light spectrum. That’s right – there is no single wavelength of light that corresponds to the color purple. So… how are you seeing it?When your eyes detect red and blue light at the same time, your brain is faced with a dilemma. Those wavelengths are on opposite ends of the visible spectrum, and there’s no “in-between” wavelength that connects them directly. So your brain improvises. It bends the color spectrum into a circle – a concept known as the color wheel – and creates a new perception to bridge the gap: purple.This makes purple a non-spectral color – a color that doesn’t exist in the natural spectrum of light, but instead is fabricated by your brain to make sense of conflicting input. That’s why you’ll never see purple in a rainbow – there’s no “P” in ROYGBIV.Meanwhile, violet (often confused with purple) does have its own place in the spectrum. It has a short wavelength and sits just before ultraviolet light. It’s why UV radiation from the Sun can burn your skin even if you can’t see it.Our perception of color depends on cone cells in our eyes – specialized photoreceptors that detect red (long wavelengths), green (medium), and blue (short). These cells don’t see color directly. They send signals to your brain, which compares their responses and decodes what you “see.”So when you look at something purple, what’s really happening is your brain is resolving a contradiction. It’s blending the extremes of red and blue, filling in the missing middle with a completely made-up experience.In other words, purple is a beautiful illusion – a pigment of your imagination.

Some Bugs from the Beacon Update [Bug]

I’ve unlocked all of the new base building pieces (absolutely thrilled we have more!) but it seems like some of the items are bugged.

The preview image of some of the new decorations are the same as older decorations: salvaged awning = canvas awning, compact transmitter = full sails, cylindrical transmitter = offset sails, vertical transmitter = asymmetrical sails, transmitter = draped canvas, oversized spool = cart wheel, monitor stack = brick pile, oversized cog = large tire, shell assembly station = scissor lift.

The compact transmitter, cylindrical transmitter, vertical transmitter, and transmitter all appear not to be placeable. I tried snapping them to roofs/walls and free placing them, but nothing seemed to work. Not sure if this is user error.

I’ve discovered 3 new settlements and all of them say they have 20 population, but none are actually walking around. After I recruited a new visitor they walked around, but none of the others appeared. I did find some stuck in-between walls and stairwells, so I’m assuming the AI accidentally glitched them in places that aren’t really accessible. I’m pretty sure this has been an issue before, so let me know if I’m repeating a bug. My old settlement has all of its citizens so this appears to be an issue with newer settlements.

Overall I’m excited about this update, but hope some of these bugs can be addressed!

Thanks again for all the free updates, Sean!

got trapped [Bug]

I'm stuck in a save where I finished the artifact expedition. It tells me I should go to the anomaly, but I don't have access to it. I also don't see the main missions to unlock them. I was thinking that someone could log into my session and call it. Would that be the solution? I'd like to save the save and not delete it because I've made a lot of progress on it.

#

I can't play my save anymore [Bug]

There's a bug that I used to bypass the timers for the settlement objectives (upgrading buildings and construction). I changed the date and time settings on my ps5 console to fast foward time in game basically to get past the timers. Now my NMS game save has the date and time set in the future. It completely stops me from loading my save unless I have my consoles date and time set to what my save's is. It also completely broke multiplayer. I know I was using an exploit but now my over 1k hour save is virtually unplayable. Does anyone know anything that could fix this?

New Update is very buggy [Bug]

Exploring the new update and I've already noticed multiple bugs. I'm considering holding off on continuing further until some bugfix updates release.

  • Sentinel Quads don't spawn so you cant progress past wanted level 3
  • New settlements appear to be devoid of life regardless of population
  • The settlement beacon in the autophage settlement is completely devoid of collision.

These are just the ones I've noticed so far. What have you guys noticed?

#

Anyone else got issues since the new update? [Question]

So to preface I’m on PS5.

So tonight I DL&I the new update, loaded it up and first thing was a message regarding my current settlement.

So I head over there and on arrival I get dumped at the top of the tower not in the Overseer’s office!

So anyway I punch jetpacked to the office and realised there was no vibration which was strange. I checked the settings in the game and on the console and all appeared good. However, when I tried firing my mining laser, no vibrations 🤔 Go into the office to check the dispute and when I opened up the settlement display JFC!! My settlement was previously at 1 million productivity, zero debt, 100% happiness and all the crosses were in the green. I’m now 600K in debt, I’ve lost loads of settlers and happiness is seriously in the red 😂

I then got in my spaceship and discovered still no effing vibrations!!

And finally when I went to harvest my plants (I have 124 large hydro trays) I discover they’ve added a new sound when you harvest a plant, that sounds like someone tearing the plant in half 😂😂

But apart from that everything is great, although do really miss the vibrations ( and yes I even did a reset on my dual sense and no joy).

Beacon on Switch 1? [Question]

I’ve heard a lot of great stuff about the new update, but a lot of the info about it in relation to the Switch seems to be for the Switch 2. This update is also for the Switch 1, right? Having to swap to a new console (especially one with so much controversy around it) just to play with a new update feels kinda depressing, so I’m hoping someone can tell me otherwise as I’d rather just use my normal Switch

#

Use items from deep storage [Question]

With the new settlement update I'm going around upgrading buildings and I was curious if there was a way to set it where I can use items from my storage containers on my freighter. I can use the items I need if they are in the freighters inventory but not the storage units on it. I know I have the items I need I just hate having to search for them

Which way do you Warp? [Question]

I've always wondered how other people warp, either using their freighter or always with their ship? What's your defacto way of warping to a new system and why?

#

What parts of the new update are/aren't available on Switch 1? [Question]

I want to post the new update trailer to the Switch sub, but I want to clarify which parts are present on Switch 1 or exclusive to Switch 2, and I don't have the Switch version of the game. My understanding is that the Settlements mechanic as a whole was absent from the Switch version, so I imagine a lot of the new features of this update will be absent, but I can't find any info about that in the official patch notes, and I don't want to make claims based on wild assumptions. I mean, for all I know, settlements were added to the Switch version at some point without my knowledge.

#

Settlements [Discussion]

Before and after the update. I’m glad I was able to stay as an A class as I’ve heard of others downgrading. Curious on your opinions to the changes. I’ve personally been wanting a settlement overhaul as it was where I spent most of my time. Before the update I would just build city’s around my 1 settlement and make it feel like a busy planet.

My save has been broke for 2 years, can't find a solution. [Bug]

I have 120+ hour save that out of nowhere started having a major graphic glitch. It doesn't happen on my other save nor new ones. I've never downloaded any kind of mods or anything else for the game that I know of.

Here is video of the glitch.

------EXTREME EPILEPSY WARNING----

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

I've tried changing video settings, uninstalling, resintalling, updating drivers, rolling back drivers. I'm at a loss. I've traveled to other planets and star systems. No change. It only happens on this particular save and no other games. Every time there NMS update, I load up to see if it is fixed and no luck yet.

#

What Happened To My Base? [Bug]

Everything is ugly now! I have a massive base made mostly out of timber with a stone floor, but it looked as if everything had its paint stripped and had been left unattended for centuries. Oh and same goes for all my bases too.

I noticed there is new material options for timber and stone prefabs, a polished version, and a weathered version.

And from the looks of it everything was automatically set to weathered (which is making my buildings ugly as hell), and to make things worse I can’t alter the weathered state to the polished version that I would usually have my base set on. So I guess my eyes are at the mercy of Hello Games. Sadly the base I had mentioned is also my main base, on a paradise planet that looks exactly like earth.

So until Hello Games addresses this I’ll probably be spending my time playing Elden Ring Nightreign because my Freighter base colors have also been messed with.

Has the Autophage customization become available in Abandoned Mode, now that the update fixed some bugs? [Question]

I remember leaving it up on their Zendesk. The Hardframe Body part, and all of the character customization options for Autophage parts weren't there, even after they fixed the Atlantid Drive and made purple systems available.

So, can someone in their Abandoned playthrough just check it out, I don't have an active safe file.

Settlement - Overseer Office Under Hill [Bug]

Hi there, I'm not really sure how to explain what's going on or if there's even a fix out there, but I'm hoping someone here might have some ideas, so here goes. I'm on PC through Steam.

I ran into a bug a long while ago, when settlements first became a thing. I got my settlement and was able to access and manage it through the overseer's office just fine. Unfortunately, randomly, one day, a hill appeared covering the entire building housing the overseer's office and computer. I am not able to access it at all. Not able to manage my settlement at all.

I was in the middle of the "The Settlers" quest, on the step where you "receive anomalous broadcast." It is stuck in the middle of an event with sentinels attacking my settlement. No matter how many I kill, how many times I leave and come back, they never stop. The quest wants me to click the computer, but I can't because of the dirt hill covering it. Lol

I tried several different "fixes" I saw on youtube. Most notably building a base computer close by and using terrain manipulator as well as some base parts to get myself into the room. Nothing worked.

I gave up on the settlement a long time ago and moved on to other things, but with today's new update, my excitement with settlements is renewed.

I went to check out my settlement again, thinking maybe the bug will have worked itself out. - It hasn't. That pesky hill is still there and the sentinels are ever vigilant.

I thought "Yay! We can abandon settlements now. Burn this one to the ground. Start over!" Unfortunately, when I went into the "Settlement Register" to "Retire as Overseer," I get a message that says "Settlement linked to A Trace of Metal"

I want to do the settlement thing! I'm so excited for Beacons!

Does anyone here have any ideas on what I can do? I would really, really appreciate some help. I have like 1100 hours on this save, I would...

Im gonna go full pirate for the day and hope it improves. so basically, horrible spacestation, one star. would not recommend.

Beacon - stuck on upgrade [Bug]

Anyone else stuck on upgrading their “advanced Living Unit”? I needed an amino chamber to continue upgrade. Once acquired, the advanced living unit is stating “upgraded unavailable. Another construction site requires attention.” I do not have another base and I haven’t constructed an “advanced living unit” in my base. This is the only one that I’m aware of. I walked my whole site and they all say another site requires attention

I tried retiring as overseer since I’m stuck and my debt keeps climbing but it won’t let me do that either. Any advice would be appreciated

This isn’t on purpose, is it? [Bug]

All the wood panels including floors look like they were finished with cheap varnish and the textures are all blurry. I can’t even make the new parts look clean. I’m not a fan of the dilapidated look for most of my bases. I really hope they fix this. Kind of bummed they added new base parts that are pretty much the same aesthetic as the alloy parts, but at least they’re slightly different-well most of them.

Update pro and con [Discussion]

Love the fact we can change production but hate my settlement was reset to where my upkeep is higher than my production. My happiness and production was maxed out. Now are reset to less than half for both. Time as overseer is reset to 0. New settlements I found have a negative balance that keeps getting worse and if you have to leave (like me) for several hours, I’m shafted. At least we can have one settlement per planet.

Here’s How to Find Autophage Settlements [Video]

Here’s How to Find Autophage Settlements

Option 1 (not shown in video) - when you load up you’ll get a mission from your preexisting settlement, stating you’ve received a derelict signal. It’ll lead you to another system and then the settlement

Option 2 - Go to an Autophage camp, go the synthesis terminal. Exchange void motes for Autophage settlement chart. These charts seem to work the same as normal settlement charts so keep that in mind

Purple is a Technophage Lie; It Doesn't Exist!! [Discussion]

For years now we have all been deceived by the Technophage - for one they say they are a race named the Autophage, but I know the truth.
They also have brainwashed everyone in the known Universe that there are 'purple' stars, but the color 'purple' doesn't exist.

I discovered this ancient document from a distant galaxy of unknown history, but I believe it to be 100% truth!

The color purple does NOT exist. Your brain just makes it up.Here’s a color twist you didn’t see coming: purple doesn’t exist on the visible light spectrum.

Autophage Settlement Event Timer Stuck & Settlement Under Attack [Bug]

Went to the Autophage settlement the game told me to go to. Claimed the settlement and now the timer is stuck. Tried restarting the game but that didn't do it. Tried leaving the overseer position and claiming the settlement again. Timer went right back to where it was stuck before. Also settlment is under attack by corrupted sentinels but the game doesn't register the settlement is under attack and they just keep coming endlessly and trying to blow up the main town square.

Want to get back into NMS, but completely overwhelmed with the changes and where to start again [Question]

I began back in 2020 and played a good chunk of the story, did some base building, general exploration. I haven't really touched it since and holy smokes...so much has changed!

I'd love to check out the new features, but I don't really know where to start. Have the game's focuses shifted since 2020? They sure seem to.

What I am wondering: Is the story worth finishing? I admit that it didn't really capture me; fairly esoteric and a bit hard to follow (at least it was at the time). I have a base...is there a way to delete it and just begin fresh? Or should I just start over entirely? I don't get a ton of time to play, maybe 1-2 hours a week max. Is this the kind of game that is even worth playing at that level of investment? I recall a lot of resource harvesting that was fairly grindy and I would hate to spend the precious gaming time I do have just needing to be gathering resources

Do Not Adjust the System's Clock! [Bug]

There appears to be a potential save breaking bug related to adjusting the time/date on your system.

The usual trick of adjusting the system clock to skip wait times in Settlement progress (or any of the other time gates in the game), can cause the game to crash and that save to become unloadable, even when trying to join a friend.

It's essentially tied to the system clock. I had moved the clock forward whilst working on my settlement, but when I reverted it back the game didn't accept the system showing a time earlier than the save (my suspicion is it's due to cross-save as this was not an issue previously). I moved it forward, loaded a restore point before the edit, then reverted the time and it seems to have fixed the issue.

it’s spherical! [Screenshot]

[Pictured is said circle and a before and after shot of I move over and try to leave the circle]

Apologies for the yap, I love talking

hello fellow travelers, hope y’all exploring and space activities are going smoothly! Eye of Eternity (my ship name) here and I was going heading through a black hole and decided to snap a picture of the moment right before i warped to see if I could…go in the hole using photo mode. Apparently a humongous light sphere prison thing spawned in my shot and I decided to play around with the sun to see if maybe that was the reason why I was seeing my light prison. I don’t know what’s causing this but I counted the lines circling (from the point in the middle and not counting the point as two if it loops) and got (you guessed it!) 16. (I can’t show the video as I am just now noticing that I can only have one type of attachment in this post. So I will wait for someone to ask for the video and then post it! I don’t wanna appear annoying or anything fr) All in all, what a game.

Is there any way to improve the LOD distance? [Question]

After many years, I have returned to this game. Then I immediately remembered why I gave up on it back then—the trees and grass in the game environment couldn't keep up with the speed of my moving camera; they always refreshed with a delay. The grass generation distance was also not very satisfying.

And some mods that improved LOD were last updated in 2019... So is there any mod now that can fix these issues? I'm surprised that Hello Games hasn't prioritized solving this, especially considering their next game features a whole planetary map.

NMS Coordinate Exchange should have requirements - Multi-Tool Gek Marriages for those who do not!!!! [Discussion]

Why do so many people post things on there on planets with coordinates & really no other info to track the stuff down?
finding specific coords on a planet without something else to guide you there is very time intensive (unless there is some crazy magic way other than flying around, going into space a bit to make faster progress in needed direction etc)
Why can't people put down one of those message thingees or something & also maybe put a tiny description as well in their listing?

Settlement Building Upgrade Requirements [Information]

After the new update it seems you can upgrade your individual buildings to increase productivity and happiness

I have started a list to show what you need for some of the upgrades and will try to update as I level them up. I started upgrading not realizing it wouldn't show the materials if you were upgrading another building.

Luxury habitation pod = 80 ionized cobalt

Autonomous nutrition module = 3 organic catalyst

Overseer's office = 1 quantum computer

Interstellar importer = upgrade to A class = 1 mind control device

Reactor chamber = upgrade to A class = 5 enormous metal cog

Meta-depot = upgrade to a class = 3 superconducting fibre

Subject: Proposal: Galactic War Expansion for No Man’s Sky [Question]

Dear Hello Games team,

First of all, thank you. As a long-time fan of No Man’s Sky, I’ve witnessed the incredible journey this universe has taken over the years. You’ve transformed a once-promising idea into one of the most beloved and ambitious sci-fi experiences in gaming history.

With the recent Beacon update and all the fantastic features you’ve introduced, I wanted to share a concept that I—and many others in the community—have dreamed of for a long time: a true Galactic War system.

Imagine a living galaxy where factions actively conquer systems, where players choose sides, lead fleets, build strongholds, and shape the future of the universe through large-scale conflict. PvP, territory control, galactic reputations, and real-time multiplayer wars could open a new chapter in No Man’s Sky, giving players the chance to become not just travelers—but heroes, villains, or legends.

Here’s a short outline of the idea: • Dynamic Faction Wars: Gek, Vy’keen, Korvax, and player-based factions wage war over star systems. • Territory Control: Systems can be captured, defended, or liberated by players in massive space battles. • Reputation System: Players develop a galactic identity—feared pirate, war hero, or rogue mercenary. • Fleet Command: Expanded squadron mechanics, including larger ships, shared combat, and tactical warfare. • War Economy: A new economy tied to war efforts—resources, contracts, upgrades, and black-market trades.

This expansion wouldn’t need to change the essence of No Man’s Sky—it could be completely optional, immersive, and respectful of the game’s peaceful roots. But it would add the depth, conflict, and agency that many space explorers long for.

I hope this idea can be considered for a future update. The stars feel more alive than ever—and it’s the perfect time for...

Beacons update bug?!?! [Bug]

Updated NMS for the new update and it was tuning smoothly started the new dissonant settlement mission, landed on the new plantet with the new settlement but it wouldn’t render or load any of the new structures so I restarted my game and now when I load up my save it just shows a black screen with a frozen loading symbol ?

Anyone else having this issue or know of any fixes as I’m unsure now and I’m unable to play it. I thought maybe it had something to do with enabling cross save as why it hadn’t loaded but then again I’m not too sure

Did anyone know this? I asked Gemini about it. What else could he know? [Question]

How to get a Sentinel Ship (Interceptor) Once you can travel between galaxies in No Man's Sky (which means you've progressed quite a bit in the game and have access to portals and glyphs), getting a Sentinel ship (Interceptor) is one of the most exciting things you can do. These are powerful ships with unique designs. Here's how to find and claim a Sentinel ship: The Method to Get a Sentinel Ship (Interceptor) Sentinel ships don't appear randomly like other ships. You have to go to dissonant systems and provoke a confrontation with corrupted Sentinels. Step 1: Find a Dissonant System * Open your galactic map: While in your ship in space, activate the galactic map. * Filter by "Race" or "Economy State" (optional, but helpful): Some players recommend looking for systems with life (races) to ensure the necessary elements can appear. * Look for systems labeled "Dissonant": These are the systems that contain planets with corrupted Sentinels, and where you can find Interceptor ships. You'll recognize them by this specific label. Step 2: Go to a Corrupted Planet and Fight Sentinels * Land on a planet in the dissonant system that has corrupted Sentinels: These planets often have a gloomy appearance, with strange structures and corrupted flora/fauna. * Provoke the Sentinels: The most direct way is to attack the corrupted Sentinels patrolling the planet. You can also attack the purple crystals you see (Radiant Shards and Inverted Mirrors), but be careful, the Sentinels will attack you quickly. * Survive 5 waves of Sentinel attacks: This is the key step. The Sentinels will send wave after wave. You'll need a well-equipped ship and multi-tool. On the fifth wave, a Dreadnought AI Fragment (a large Sentinel freighter) will appear. * Destroy the Dreadnought AI Fragment: Once you destroy this freighter, you'll get an item called a Dreadnought AI Fragment.

Question for Quest 3 SteamVR AND Virtual Desktop users [Question]

I'm running no mans sky on an rtx 4060 8gb laptop.

Last night I finally got it running pretty well yesterday having most settings on Standard and setting anti aliasing to TAA (which seems to provide better visuals than Dlss)

I have a WiFi 6 connection with laptop plugged into my router and I'm currently launching the game via Steam link and SteamVR and I've upscaled the rest I think to 120% running at 120mhz.

The evening before I had tried with Virtual Desktop but didn't have much luck - however I was not running at that settings nor was I using ethernet directly into my laptop from the router, so I asked for a refund on VD.

Now I have it stable, I'm wondering if I should return to try VD? But it's £18.

I'm interested in what your settings or (for people also on lower spec systems in vr) and whether VD offers any other benefits to justify the price?

Can't Access the Beacons Update? [Question]

Hey all,

My main save has almost 100 hours, and I really don't want to start a new save, HOWEVER:
Attempting to become Overseer of another settlement prompts that I will abandon my current settlement. The buildings in my current Settlement have updated (with trade terminals, etc.), but the overseer terminal still has the outdated UI, and events are still the old type with only two options. I can't access anything contained in the Update that released today.

Any ideas on how to fix this?

Thanks a ton.

FOR THE DEVS: a Little request from the Deep of my heart [Question]

Dear hello games, to every single developer working hard on the game: THANK YOU. I've been playing games for almost 30 years and during all this time I rarely came across a game like no man's Sky. The idea at the base of this game Is so bold and refreshing and we can clearly see the passion you guys pour into this. I am an open world/exploration lover and this game, since day one when I bought It ( I was on holiday and I forced a friend to go to the store and buy for me so that I could play It the same night I was returing home😂 ) Is something that I couldn't Hope for even in the wildest Dreams of mine. I played through every single update and saw the game getting Better and Better. Saw you adding things I couldn't Imagine being possibile given also the size of your team....and that switch port?! Damn, hello games must be some kind of Hogwarts, cause that was magic. I really, REALLY Hope that you guys understand the fact that this game has the potential to be THE greatest space game of all time, if you decide to add a Little depth to the already existing mechanic. Not that It's not good right now, ok? It's a true gem.... But I Guess you understood what I mean. Don't give up on this, even when LNF Will be out, don't give up on NMS, cause you really created something special here... Now, with all that's been said, I have a Little request from you. It's something I've been waiting for since Foundation:

Please, PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD DO SOMETHING FOR GRASS RENDERING. Grass covers, in One form or another, 80% of the Planets, and It's ( Sorry devs🥲 ) awful. You see a nice open, grassy field, with giant squares of missing grass that only renders if you step in that empty space. Then you turno around and the grass right behind you Is gone. You see some nice Hills and noticed that they are half covered in grass and half empty. The render distance was good...

I can't find the upgrade terminal for one of my buildings? [Question]

So, the new update regarding planetary settlements has been pretty buggy in general, but I've come across this issue just recently. The building terminals that you use to upgrade and look at information about the building just isn't there for some of them. I think I've figured out that it only happens with buildings that don't have a door that's ground level, even if they have one that's on the second or third floor.

Has anyone else experienced this? Is there anything I can do about it, at least to make someone aware of the issue? I'm not very submersed in the community aspects of most games I play, so I don't know where to go or who to talk to about this. Any response would be appreciated, thanks!

Save got corrupted after BEACON update, lost roughly 8 hours of gameplay, HELP (Steam) [Question]

So first of all, I'm an absolute noob when it comes to anything like restoring save files.

My wife and I were playing on our lobby server together yesterday before she had to log off for work, I continued to play for roughly 6-8 hours after that because the game is stupidly addicting. I finished playing and started downloading the update and went to bed, when I woke up I saw it said various things along the lines of "corrupted data" and "cant sync to cloud".

What I tried to do so far was verifying the files, didnt help and the game crashed when I tried loading into the multiplayer world (I didnt know you had to save it in singleplayer to upgrade). The save I had left off after ca 8 hours was still visible then and after that I looked more online and cleared the steam cache, tried again and the whole save was gone, the game set back to when me and my wife last played so.. 8 hours gone. I also tried to figure out a save file editor but because I am terrible at dealing with game files and stuff like that I just couldnt figure it out and I thought I'd better ask here before I end up destroying somethin entirely..

Now I have various questions:

Did I cause this by clearing the cache? Would it have been preventable if I hadnt cleared it?

Is there any possibility to restore the old save or is it lost to the void? (I will cry lmao)

Did this have to do with the update or was it my pc?

Another thing that might offer some insight is that I have the save on an external harddrive and I play on laptop with windows 10. The harddrive sometimes has issues staying connected and will disconnect and reconnect, not sure why, its never done it mid game as far as I know.

Please help, I do love this game, I bought it back when it was released together with my PS4 and havent touched it til this year, I wanted to get back...

Are there other things that work like this? [Question]

So I just started playing a few days ago and I'm pretty happy with my progress so far, but after checking the wiki for some stuff I saw this line written under the "additional information" section of the indium drive page:

"Gives a bonus to hyperdrive range if the upgrade module is installed adjacent to the ship's hyperdrive or other drive modules."

WOW that's pretty cool, but what else is there that works like this? Do I always have to install upgrade modules next to the thing it's upgrading?

Is there any difficulty progression? [Question]

After playing NMS like 5 years ago a bit (finished the Atlas storyline) i got bored rather quickly. Since then there has been much content added/polished and i thought i give it another try and start new. For context, i play a lot of rather competetive games (LoL, SC2) or strategy with some depth (XCOM, Jagged Alliance) and really enjoy space/sci-fi games (Subnautica & KSP are probably my favourite games)

I still absolutely love the idea of exploring a nearly infinite galaxy but all the other stuff seems rather pointless and i kinda get bored.

I just defeated a (A-class) pirate dreadnought with my starter ship with 0 combat upgrades (i even removed the rockets early on because i needed space). On paper it is better than my (C-class) starting freighter, but the starting freighter already provided endless storage and a mobile base.

I've fought everything but walkers with my starter gun with the default pulse splitter. I've upgraded my multitool exactly once to a b-class pistol for like 150k because it has more space for mining upgrades.

Everything (base bulding, settlements, freighters, better starships) just seems to be means to get more stuff/units to get more stuff...

I own like 10 mio. units and if i ever need more i could just track some crashed startships and sell them. I know this is chump change to most, but what for do i need any more money/nanites?

Even upgrading my own ship is kinda meh. Pirates right now are completely harmless and hyperdrive range seems pointless if you can cover much larger distances by using the abundant black holes.

I get that NMS is not a competetive game but something to relax. But it seems like there is no "skill" or planning or anything required, that gives you at least a bit of a challenge.

Sorry if it sounds more like a rant. Wasn't my intention. I just want to try to enjoy the vastness of the game but i need a...

Is there a way to roll back the Beacon update on GamePass? [Question]

Hello hello! :) The Beacon update broke the settlements for me and many other players. When I became overseer of my second settlement, the icon for the overseer office generated underground and nowhere near the construction site so it took 15 minutes of running around the settlement to find it.

Settlement decisions also stopped generating at either of them. At first the timer was just frozen, but I can no longer do anything with them now, no building opportunities, no citizen disputes, nothing. At the very least there should be a timer counting down to the next decision but the log is acting like I have one available, which I don't. Other people have expressed that their timer is just frozen. This also blocks progression of missions related to settlements

I'm also having issues with planets being invisible from space since the update but this bug doesn't seem to be as common as the settlement bugs and I've done quite literally everything I can to troubleshoot it on my end. These issues are enough that I don't want to play the game again until they're fixed, particularly the invisible planets, but I've only been playing for a couple weeks and this is my first experience with an NMS update. I've already made a bug report but I was hoping rather than just sit here and wait for them to fix everything, if there was a way to roll back the update on my client until the kinks have been worked out.

This Update is a Mess. [Discussion]

The first update that I don't like. Never mind the fact that it's buggy as hell, almost every single time I go to or interact with a settlement I encounter some problem:

  • Teleporting inside the main hub instead of the overseer's office.
  • Building's scaffoldings don't disappear after you finalize the upgrade and reopen the building.
  • Teleporting inside the overseer's office while it's under construction, essentially locking you inside. Luckily you can reach the console and reopen it from the inside.

Setting aside all that, cause they'll most likely be patched in a day or two, I just feel it's a mishmash of poorly executed ideas thrown together:

  • The idea is to interact more with your settlements, except you can only interact with them every 2 hours when you try to upgrade a building.
  • The time gating by only being able to upgrade one building at a time per settlement makes no sense to me, you should be able to upgrade all of them at once. I have a carrier full of every crafting material, why do we have to go one-by-one? They coudl at least add an "X settlers are required for X amount of buildings to upgrade" mechanic if they wanna limit it somehow. It would make much more sense narratively.
  • Being able to upgrade the buildings and them having a variety of bonuses is great but my god it needs a map or a seperate menu cause I've been running around trying to find which building is which like an idiot.
  • I might ahve missed something but it still seems like the options to build new kinds of buildings is randomly popping through quests, at least I couldn't find any other way to build a specific building. I didn't see any way to get that fishing pond that was showcased.

tldr: lots of bugs, poorly executed ideas, needs tweaking

Video tour. Pt.1 [Video]

Can't fit the whole build in one video. Currently on the last major build of the city. Then just smaller tie-in pieces. A major shopping spree at Quickie Mart, and will be ready for visitors. Which is a go, had a friend over last night successfully.

Multiple settlements issue [Question]

I have my original base from before the Beacons update, as well as, my new autophage settlement. I have upgraded both to S class minus a few buildings I didn’t have the rss for. I now have located and taken overseer job for a third settlement, but there is no option to build overseer office and I can access individual building upgrade consoles but there is no option to actually upgrade them. Any of you fine travelers run into this?

#

Settlement upgrade removed a feature? [Question]

Really digging the new settlement upgrades feature. Seeking/crafting mats to upgrade the buildings gets me engaged with bits of the game that were collecting dust. Not exactly sure what the upgrades do aside from bump some numbers. The overseer's office from B->A did get cosmetics, but I didn't notice a change when it went A->S.

Something I did notice that I do not like: I upgraded B->A the 'retail zone' in my settlement, and the vendor NPC that was there disappeared. I used to visit that Korvax trader to get some easy salvaged data, but after the upgrade they're gone. Is removing the NPC on upgrade intentional, or a mistake?

Complaints with the game [Discussion]

I used to really enjoy playing the game (2700 hours since launch), but now there are so many nuances that just irk my 'tism.

The size of the ships makes no sense to me. Where do all the components actually fit, plus all the storage and fuel?

Every ship/MT is capable of equipping the same weapons. I get that explorer/ solar gets a bonus to range and sentinels/ fighters get bonus to damage, but it's negligible at best.

You can't fly to stars, systems can have a maximum of 6 bodies, skybox is just a generic background and the sun revolves around the planet.

Distances are arbitrary. 1 step = 1 unit, yet the next planet is 1000k units away.

Not being able to maneuver during pulsing and pulse drive target locking on something you don't want to go to.

The inability to influence system economies or security levels. I should be able to trade enough commodities to take it from bust to boom and kill enough pirates to make it peaceful or attack enough carriers to make it outlaw.

Using portals to travel make the size of the galaxy insignificant.

It used to be about exploration in a ship, but it seems now they are concentrating on planting roots with all the base building and now settlement redux. (I think that the fishing mechanic is beyond dumb)

No skill is actually required for combat or piloting.

It was a cumulation of this and more that made me uninstall the game after reading the update notes yesterday.

Zero Teleport Coordinators [Discussion]

I don't know if these items rotate or what but now that I need Teleport Coordinators they are no where to be found. I actually did 2 missions that rewarded me 3 each but I need 9 to upgrade my market in my settlement. I went to every space station in my teleporter menu...56 space stations and not one galactic trade terminal had them and there were zero missions rewarding them. I also searched buried caches, dropped cargo and tradingnports on a bunch of planets. I give up 😮‍💨

Does anyone else have a hole in the planet where their settlement is? [Bug]

I built my base on one of the old "floating islands" and have stairs from the island to the ground and did a lot of terrain changes drilling all the way down. It's like it couldn't handle the memory of all those terrain edits so it's a blank area. There's been this empty square there for a while, and it's not just of the floating island but it seems like it's the whole planet as you will continue falling even when reaching the "ground".

Do Bio-Dome plants regrow? [Question]

As per the title, I'm wondering if plants planted in Bio-Domes automatically regrow, or if you need to spend the resources again.
I'm wondering about this, as I'd like to slowly build a Stasis Device farm.

If I need to replant (read: spend resources) on each plant, how do you even profit from them?
Some plants only give roughly the same amount as you use to plant them in the first place.

Am I missing something?

Are any of the mods got broken by the update? [Question]

Anyone here play NMS with mods? I just bought a new laptop and wanted to start a new Survival run with mods like starship rebalance, economy rebalance etc. And would you look at that, the day I decided to start it, there was a 17GB update in my Steam queue. If anyone plays with any similar mods, can you help me confirm if it's okay to use them right now or is it better to wait for them to get updated?

Arachnophobe playing No Man’s Sky: looking for advice and coordinates for paradise planets without “spider-like [Question]

Hi everyone!
I play No Man’s Sky but I have a strong arachnophobia, so I try to avoid planets with creatures that look like spiders or multi-legged insects as much as possible.
The problem is that I often spawn or have to land on planets with these “spiders,” which causes me a lot of anxiety and makes the game less fun.

I’ve tried exploring different areas, leaving and re-entering planets, but so far I haven’t found a peaceful place where I can play without stress.

if you can add me and i will join you.

Upgrade PC, PS5, or stick with Switch [Question]

I currently play NMS on the Switch. Love it. However I was hoping to knock down some of the load times and pop-in. Honestly a bit more eye candy wouldn't bother me but I'm just fine with the Switch. I play almost exclusively on the TV (65" 1080p), which means the Switch2 handheld doesn't have any particular appeal (doesn't mean it doesn't appeal).

So I'm looking for the most economical way to do those things above.

I've got an old tower that was a Photoshop machine back in the day. Core i7-4770, 16 ram, Samsung SSD, and an nVidia 960 (or something earlier/before a 1060 - it was cheap even back then) and a bluetooth (Gamesir) controller that works with it. I'm wondering if I can get away with upgrading the video card on that or if I'm going to have to do the CPU and ram too - at which point I may as well build new.

Or PS5, because much hardware for not much money.

Thoughts?

Don't know how this happened... [Discussion]

Is No man's sky cross save between xbox one and switch 1? [Question]

Hello, I recently started to play on xbox and I saw that there was a cross save option. I bought it in my switch to play it on the go. I linked all of my accounts and when I boot up my switch, I can see my xbox save but it says (INCOMPATIBLE SAVE v4183) and gives me an error saying the save is a more recent version. I've made sure both consoles are up to date.

Overseers office in the new Beacon update [Question]

All settlements I've visited since the update do not have an overseers office at all. Is it another building to upgrade or is my game just bugged. I've visited five settlements, all of which freshly generated and none of them had one. And I did check each house and terminal. The icon for the settlement is also slightly under the ground of the center console of the settlement.

I'm also not able to upgrade any of the buildings of the new settlements. Only the old one settlement still works fully

How to find an owned broken ship? [Question]

I finished the story and entered a new galaxy and all of my technology was broken, I was using a sentinel ship and had none of the stuff required to fix it so I summoned another ship to leave the planet but can’t find the ship now.

Build camera [Question]

Hi. Playing on xbox and something is really bugging me. The camera when in build mode. It goes so slow! Moving up and down, forward and backwards is OK, but when trying to turn round it is like a snails pace. Is there any way to speed this up?
I'm talking about the camera when you go to build mode and click the left thumb stick to free float around while building.

Do you play on easy mode? [Question]

I have been playing - 40ish hours in now. And I just realized that (while in the normal game) we can go to the difficulty menu and set all purchases for free, including blueprints, crafting stuff, and buildings (no units, nanites or salvage data required).

I just went away and did it so I will spend some time building a great base without having to farm ton of stuff (I will probably put many hours on it)… I already did all primary missions (Atlas and Artemis quests), and plan to do the secondary quests too, get a nice freight ship and all stuff. Probably mining is not my thing? I find it tedious. Not sure if I am doing wrong? It kinda feels like cheating but its an option inside the game and it is meant to be used, right? What do you guys do? Do you mine like crazy or build and upgrade for free?

Switch 2 Websockets error [Screenshot]

Hey fellow travelers. I got a switch 2 last night and of course, first thing I tried to do was boot up multiplayer on NMS. But I got the websockets error, that it seems like a few people have had on other systems, but obviously, with the Switch 2, things are not the same. I reset my router, I cleaned up what devices actually needed access to the router to get it under the max, and still nothing. Anyone have recommendations on this?

Another free update. [Discussion]

Honestly, the work that Sean Murray and Hello Games have put into this game to bring it to where it is now. Is astronomically impressive and the No Mans Sky community is forever grateful for every single FREE updates that the team brings to us. 9 years of dedication and realisation of potential has created not only one of the most impressive and inspiring story's of all time, but also one of the most looked over, underrated game of all time. Sorry, let me rephrase that, the most looked over, underrated masterpiece of all time. From me and the entire community, thank you Hello Games. And thank you, Sean Murray.

Why did all my freighter parts change colour???? [Bug]

(I don't have an image of the old colours cuz xbox removed it) My colours used to be like grey for tech areas but now its this dumb banana colour all the other freighter colours have been swapped around too, pls fix, I AM NOT GOING AND RECOLOURING ALL MY PARTS.

#

Am the only one who thought the next settlement update would include these things for sure? [Question]

We dont "take over" a settlement, we build it. We build the settlement town center and choose the theme. Then we place building blueprints out in a grid so that we can have sidewalks or roads and we can build normally in them instead of having a base computer outside of the area. Then we populate it by getting visitors and inviting NPCs. Maybe they pay rent or they work or entertain.

This update had me so hyped until I realized the main gripe people who liked settlements had, was totally ignored. The random ass building placement and having to use a trick to build in the settlement area.

#

Anyone else still waiting for the Beacon update? [Question]

I'm playing on Mac and since yesterday the game crashes very frequently. I have done all the usual stuff, like restarting the game, restarting Steam and eventually restarting the machine. But nothing seems to help.

System bug? [Question]

I've found this Dissonant system of a single pillared planet with no buildings or Monoliths on it (navigation maps give an error message when used), as well as no space station.

Currently building my base on there, but I was wondering if this is a normal way a system can generate or if its bugged/glitched?

Time limited expeditions [Question]

I don't really understand why expeditions are time limited and you can't go back and do them. What if I just purchased the game? I'm just out of luck? What's the point, don't you want people to have a reason to play? I get that they want "seasons" like other service games (Diablo, etc) but this is just a poor implementation that's actually hurting their fan base.

Ability to remove a settlement. [Discussion]

It would be nice if you could remove or reset an existing settlement altogether.

To add to that, the ability to remove/replace individual buildings.

Ultimately it would of been amazing to add the settlement abilities to standard building. Similar to how they added the benches for the original NPC quest givers.

Still a good addition to the game.

What do you think?

-edit: because who proofreads anything before posting...

#

Texture bug or change? [Discussion]

Has anybody else noticed that some of the textures on base building parts do not appear as sharp or defined as they did before the update.

The wood textures especially seem fuzzy. Most noticeably when you are standing closer to the object.

Also a few of the stone pieces as well, seem blurry or fuzzy.

I have also noticed that Amy new parts that I build have the weathered texture applied and it doesn't seem to change even if you try to Toggle off.

I'm disappointed with it this and really hope that it is a bug as really I don't want to have to abandon this base but I just can't stand stand the fuzzy textures. It's really hard on my eyes and leads to a pretty bad headache.

I have made a bug report to the zendesk.

I like how messy it looks (WIP) [Screenshot]

Currently trying to build something that looks like a city around an autophage camp. I'm not really into building and I really admire people who are able to be so creative with their bases, but these assets are pretty cool - well, if we don't look at the underside of the roofs. Talking about the roofs, they are very low, giving a calustrophobic vibe, and I still don't know if I like that or not.

I'll post updates if I have the motivation to finish it, maybe with a video while I'm walking through the bildings since it's pretty hard to perceive details because of the messy look.

Hi, I need help [Question]

Last year, I played a lot of No Man's Sky and had a lot of progress. I sold my PS5 before cross-save came out. I bought a PC thinking that when cross-save came out, I'd be able to load my game.

#

Any game designers here? [Question]

Hey, ex game dev here, originally pc games and then worked on social games at a couple well known companies (I led dev on a couple 1M DAU games).

I’m really confused about the motivation behind the prevalence of so many “slow” timers in NMS.

They made some sense in social games, because the goal was to get you to come back tomorrow to play again, and we had lots of KPIs around retention (and thus monetization by retained cohorts.)

But NMS doesn’t have microtransactions. Slowing down gameplay needlessly seems to incur all the negative player sentiment of slow timers without any of the positive business effects. The settlement update seems to exacerbate this tenfold. To me, multi-hour timers should only be attached to hugely aspirational goals, not constant microannoyances.

It feels like they’re copying a mechanic without actually having any hard rationale why that mechanic should exist at all.

What am I missing?

Crashes when using reload auto-save/restore point (PSVR2) [Bug]

Kind of fed up with the update. Those reload features stopped working completely - when i try to use them, the game freezes and then crashes when I try to close it from PS5 home screen. This happens also after deleting and reinstalling it.

On top of that 10 mins ago I suddenly fell through a station floor while I was using my inventory, and found myself in space with life depleting quickly. I'm in permadeath with highest difficulty in this respect so I quickly quit the game.
I reported 3 issues today on Zendesk I don't think I wanna come back to te game before HG do something about it.

My humble opinion [Discussion]

DISCLAIMER: I love No Man’s Sky, I absolutely adore it as a game and I truly appreciate how the developers keep adding new (free!) content. What I’m about to say is just my personal opinion, and you’re totally free to disagree, but...

Have you ever felt that, with all the updates they’re releasing, they're really just trying to decorate a cake that came out a bit burnt? Let me explain with the part of the game I personally love the most: planetary flora and fauna. Did we really need fossils (even though they’re super cool) when the highest level of interaction we have between animals is a clumsy predator taking down a prey, or creatures running away the second you get too close? Not to mention trees after visiting five planets, they all start to look the same, to the point where you mix up one planet with another just because they share the same climate.

I’m writing this because I genuinely think No Man’s Sky is a beautiful flower that’s just waiting to bloom into the perfect game for players like me and, I suspect, many others. I don’t know how hard it is to make more radical changes to the game, and maybe the developers are avoiding big updates to core systems for a specific reason. But I really hope that, in the future, they’ll release updates that make at least planets, creatures, and plants feel more alive and capable of interacting with each other.

#

anyone else having these issues? [Bug]

I got the update yesterday and went on to try it. I was very excited when I got the invitation to go check out an autophage settlement. I flew there and none of the buildings were showing up.

My friend has different weather and deposits on the same planet [Question]

Hey!

I recently started playing NMS for the first time and I did that with my brother ("friend" in the title for search purpose). We get through the tutorial and was discovering planes. We end up on hot temperature extreme weather, frequent planet - for me only tho. My brother liked the planet and wanted to build a base there, but for me it's unplayable here. Storms every 5 minutes, I can't see a think and I'm "dying" fast (that can be solved by some exosuit upg but still..).

I was thinking that it's just some glitch and I read about it that it can happen but my brother didn't have any storm on this planet and he doesn't have active deposits like I do. I have Active copper here but for him it's only copper. What's the reason? Can we do anything to sync the game?

Seriously considering getting NMS but what exactly is there to do? [Question]

I remember being infatuated with the game when it was first released. My 11 year old brain had fallen in love with spaceships and apparently couldn't recognize the game's past flaws. I don't remember any instance of people complaining about the release of the game.

Anyways, other than the procedurally generating solar systems and planet and their exploration, I really have no idea what the game has to offer. Other than obviously BIG FUCKING FLEETS!(enough of a selling point tbh)

Is there some sort of campaign? A path of progression or something? What is there to do?

Quick question about new Autophage settlements [Question]

Lost Connection to Servers [Question]

Greetings,

Are the servers down? I cannot gain connection to servers and I'm worried to start the game without syncing since I had computer issues recently. I want to make sure I didn't lose my save file.

Anyone else notice an overall difference to the game audio since the Beacon update? [Question]

I’m not referring to the new audio options for the suit and player voices. I’m noticing what sounds like “enhanced” audio for just about every sound effect in the game. Things sound louder and brighter in general- more high end frequency and detail. If there’s anything in the patch notes about this I overlooked it. I’m on PS5 with a 5.1 speaker system for audio.

Switch/2 users, do you need Nintendo online to use the cloud saves? [Discussion]

I have tried getting into the game but for one reason or another I just drop it for something else.

I got a switch 2 and besides Mario Kart and updated BOTW I don’t really have much I’m excited to play on there.

Will I need to have an active sub to use the cloud save system in this game with Steam or Gamepass on PC.

I was not prepared for this game [Discussion]

Holy crap. No one warned me.

Here I was, I open the galaxy map for the first time and my mind was just utterly blown. I pick a random system and made my very first hyper jump. I found a paradise planet and land to see whats up. I found a four legged plant creature that eats flesh and stalks it's prey for days. COOLEST THING EVER and I was the first person to discover it!

So I fly back up off the planet and the FUCKING DEATH STAR just teleports directly in front of me which makes me almost shit my pants.

Finally I board the player hub and I see everyone just landing and taking off and buying, selling, doing their own thing and it's just incredible.

I had to shut it off. I just can't anymore. I just can't. My mind has been blown so hard I have a headache now. The last game I played that did this to me was Mass Effect when I first saw the citadel station. No game has ever come close to hitting that point until today.

No Man's Sky. 15/10. Unbelievable. Wow. I have no words. I just completed the tutorial and... I just can't. I have to disengage for today. My brain needs to process because it's been overwhelmed.

But I will be back. Gotta find more killer flower creatures because that thing was the coolest thing I've seen in a long time.

Subterranian Veins Nexus Mission gone haywire [Bug]

https://reddit.com/link/1l4ad5n/video/hytk5osu865f1/player

After Scanning the required sites, the game didn't progress the mission and I had to cancel.
Electromagnetic Power / Deep-Level Mineral both at 1 / 3 hotspots found and gas hotspots at a staggering
1 / 1,242,747,776 hotspots found despite the fact I found more than one for each hotspot. This is so annoying, considering I spent so much time scanning for animals and plants and wandering aimlessly for my first Electromagnetic spot.

Anyone else having issue with new Settlements on PS4 [Bug]

I did the update, my settlement reset- that's not the issue I'm talking about. Though having 650 Dirt in my inventory suddenly was hilarious. But I received the signal for the Autophage Settlement. Went to it, became Overseer, built the Overseer/Admin building.

I tried to get my third settlement. Just a normal one not an Autophage one. And I could become Overseer with 3 Vy'keen Daggers (It's a Vy'keen system) and then... nothing happened. I'm Overseer but I have no option of building the Overseer building, I can't upgrade the other buildings. And when I check the history for the settlement it says I've been overseer for like 100k+ days.

Did I miss a new step? Just wanting to know if I did or if anyone else is having this happen.

I DID already report it on Zendesk so no need to tell me to do that, I did it yesterday as soon as it happened again. (Because it happened once with a Korvax settlement too, I thought it was just because the planet I was on had so many settlements already but the Vy'keen one only has my settlement on it.)

Be careful with Fossil Collectors [Bug]

I went to a fossil collector to trade some skulls, and I found a pretty big bug. I had a few stacks of the same fossils, mostly feet, arms and tails. So I traded like, 3 different tails for 1 skull, but when I went to trade again, ALL the tails were gone. Like, the three full stacks of 10.

And yes, I did make sure to only put one of each. But it seems that when the game removes one of the fossils from your inventory, it actually removes the entire stack. When I noticed this I tested it, and sure enough, if you have a fossil in a stack, it removes the entire stack when you trade with the NPC, regardless of the amount you put in the trade menu.

Why did the construction parts changed color? Can it be fixed? [Question]

I was building a base and suddenly the stone construction parts changed their nice pinkish tone for this darker orange one, not only do I not like the new color, but also the rest of the base if an entirely different color. Changing the color in the editor does nothing as it appears to be the same palette. Anyone knows how to fix this? (Images of the problem) (New to the game btw)

This update completely breaks performance on PC. [Bug]

For one, my I have a i5 11400f and rtx 5070. When playing I get about 40 fps on a planet, and 60 fps on a space station. It wasn't like this before the update, I use to get 120 fps without frame generation. And that's the other thing, somehow frame generation DEGENERATES frames lol. The 60fps I got in a space station now turns into 33 fps. Locked. I'm gonna be patient and wait for a patch, but hopefully they fix this soon.

"No Overseer Office" problem? [Bug]

Anyone have a workaround for the "No Overseer's Office" problem?

I presume it's a bug. If I'm supposed to create one, I don't know how. I'm at 9 of 11 autophage settlements bugged so far.

Here's how it works. On a good day, I find a settlement, claim it, (and pay), and a moment later I get a marker on the map pointing me to the overseer's office which I can then upgrade, use, etc. All's dandy.

On a bad day, I find a settlement, claim it, (and pay), ... and nothing changes. No marker on the map. No overseer's office on the map. I can't upgrade any of the facilities. I can click the pedestal and see their details but there are no "upgrade" buttons.

Took me forEVER to find a Korvax settlement... on a paradise planet... in a system with a three-star starbase. And... of course, it's bugged. Grr...

Questions about how Abandoned Mode actually works [Question]

Hey, I’m messing around in Abandoned Mode and I’ve got a few questions. Is it actually in a different galaxy (empty galaxy, perhaps?), or just a weird alternate version of the normal one? Do you share the same universe with other players, but with all the fauna removed? And if there are no animals - how are you supposed to scan a planet to 100%? Is that just not possible? Is there any way to access abndoned mode within an existing save? Is there any way to access your ship and materials from your main save?

Appreciate any insight - googling this stuff got me kind of nowehere. Perhaps I'm looking in the wrong places.

Subterranean Veins Nexus Quest Hotspot Bug [Bug]

I'm doing the Subterranean Veins Nexus Quest, and the quest messes up where I have to scan the 3 variants of hotspots. When I scan the first type(electric, gas, or mineral), it counts for the quest, showing 1/3 and telling me to scan the other 2, but after I've scanned the second type, it still only shows, 1/3 and tells me to go for whichever variant I have yet to scan and after I finish scanning the third kind the quest log freaks out blinking and beeping rapidly. I've even gone back to the Nexus and restarted the mission multiple times, but it still bugs out every time in the same way. Any ideas on how to fix?

Glyph Bug [Bug]

Recently, I have been system hopping fabricating starships and have come across a bug where after fabricating a ship and flying out to space to get a nice screenshot the glyph that appears on the screenshot is different than the actual glyph coordinates for the system. The bug that appeared three times already always has the first three glyphs reading FACE, BIRD, FACE. The real glyphs for this system start with BIRD, FACE, BIRD. Made me go back and test portal the 10+ really good fabricated starships I have found just so I don't lead any travelers astray on NMSCE.

Will add that during the most recent exposure to this bug I was not able to connect to online services at the save file load menu or upload discoveries in-game. Do yall think this was the root cause of the faulty glyphs? Playing on xbox series x on single player with an active internet connection for discoveries (when its working apparently).

Would NMS benefit from deeper RPG mechanics? [Suggestion]

I love NMS and I've racked up hundreds of hours playing this game. But whenever I suggest this game to my friends who play cooperative games like Valheim or 7 Days to Die, they don't find NMS that appealing. A part of the feedback they gave me is that combat isn't that engaging and it's too sandbox-y without much goal or character progression.
That's why I was thinking -- would NMS benefit more with RPG Mechanics? NMS's gameplay is often labelled as "vast but shallow", because once you've explored the next gas giant or collected all fish, there's not much to do. I keep thinking of games like Stardew Valley and how it implements exploration with some RPG mechanics. And I believe NMS would benefit for some of these, like:

Skill progression - in RPG or survival games, skills usually have levels. For example, fishing in Stardew Valley, requires time investment since if you keep fishing you level up from 0 to 10, and each level makes fishing easier or give rewards that are locked behind levels. What if NMS did something similar? For example, fishing also has levels and you get specific rewards unlocked, for example a blueprint of a skiff that is an upgraded version, an aquarium where you can store your catches and it would visually appear, etc.

Character identity/role - in RPG games, you usually have to select character races and class to determine how you should play the game. The usual classics are warrior, mage and rogue. I don't think NMS has to strictly implement that, but what if in NMS you could mold your character through professions/jobs? For example, a galactic chef who gains credits through collecting ingredients and cooking them, maybe add a mechanic where the player can create a restaurant base and customers would teleport or fly to your base to eat your cooking. Or what about a space pirate, specializing in selling contraband nipnip, fighting...

I think i need help [Question]

I don't even want to know if the post tag is right. I don't know this is a bug or if I don't understand something.

This is the first settlement mission I'm doing in my current save (frist time playing this game and frist settlement mission). The mission asks me to talk to a villager, but there are no villagers present in the settlement.

The mission marker (ping) only leads me to the tower-shaped building in the center of the settlement, but there is no one there to interact with.

WHAT DO I DO???

I think my 600 hour save file is busted. [Question]

All other saves will load, but while I was testing out the new Beacon update features for my current 600 hour save, The game suddenly froze and CTD'd and now every time I load it, the game crashes before I even enter the star loading screen. When I run a different save, it works just fine. I dunno. I'm not that upset, but I was just wondering if this was happening to anyone else?

I get a message that copies this code to the clipboard. I'm pretty illiterate when it comes to this type of stuff. Anyone have any suggestions? I don't mind starting anew. At 600 hours, I more or less achieved everything the game had to offer and wouldn't mind starting again honestly. I'm just kind of attached to my bases and whatnot.

Getting All 16 Glyphs In Abandoned Mode [Information]

Okay, so it was taking FOREVER to round up all 16 portal glyphs in abandoned mode. I know I know... that's part of the abandoned mode experience. However, after all my other hours in various saves, and now in this abandoned mode, I needed to speed up the process and get out of the grind part of progressing.

In abandoned mode, there are no travelers. Anywhere. All the space stations are empty. So, there's no one to talk to in order to get the glyphs! And, there's no storyline that takes you through getting them either. You simply have to come across them while walking the planets.

There are some situations where you can actually see fellow travelers, but I actually think they are bugs that shouldn't be happening. There have been a few occasions where I see a base, and fly to it, and actually catch a fellow traveler there building or something. In other cases, like when you go to the anomaly, you can see the other ships flying in and out but just can't see the travelers. You can at times, however, actually see their staffs moving around LOL.

So, how did I get all the glyphs? I took advantage of what the game allows, without settling for save edits or glitches or anything like that. And I definitely had to hard-core find the first glyph for sure.

I got lucky and found my first glyph when walking a planet. On my second glyph, I honestly don't remember how I got it! I think I actually saw the dot of another traveler and flew to it and found that they were at a glyph location and I was actually able to extract it. Sometimes that doesn't work because a lock is put on the glyph if you are in multi-player mode which I was.

So, how did I get the other 14 glyphs? Fly to the anomaly and grab one of the kill hazardous flora missions. Any of them will do. Fly to that location and find the glyph that starts that mission. DO NOT interact with the glyph though. Create a...

Can't get VR to Run [Question]

Hey all, I've wanted to play NMS in VR for quite some time now and decided to give it a shot since I upgraded my PC a while ago.

What keeps you coming back to NMS long-term ? (potential new player here) [Question]

Hey everyone , I’ve been thinking about getting into No Man’s Sky for a while now. The game looks beautiful and ambitious, but I’m curious what really keeps people playing over time.

Is it something you always come back to casually? Or do you dive in deep for a while then shelf it until the next update? Do you ever get bored once you've seen enough planets or built a good base? I’ve seen both glowing praise and comments saying it gets repetitive fast or that your actions don’t feel super meaningful in the long run.

I’m genuinely interested, but I also don’t want to buy something that feels more like a sight-seeing trip than a game I can really sink into. The whole “make your own fun” thing is cool in theory, but only if there’s enough systems or friction to push you into doing that. I’m mostly a solo player too, and I worry about how the experience holds up without friends or structured multiplayer.

Just giving a bit of context , I'm also considering Elden Ring: Nightrein since I enjoy games with tight combat, roguelite elements, and a strong gameplay loop. But committing to a game financially is a bit of a big deal for me, so I want to make sure whichever one I choose sticks.

Would love to hear what keeps you going in NMS , and why you think it's worth sticking with.

Drying Water world [Screenshot]

I was out jumping through purple systems looking for home when i came across this interesting planet. In the discoveries tab it appears as a solid water world and It's classified as an "endless sea" but appears to be drying up as you approach it. I know that most water worlds have islands speckled across their surface but this one seems to be ~50% land, has high heat and fire wall storms. The water is only ~800u deep, 1/2 as deep as my ~1600u record on another "endless sea" planet, almost as if this planet is losing its water and slowly transforming in to a desert planet. This place gives the game a sense of life and change over time.

Settlement Troubles [Question]

I’m very new to the game and ran into an issue with the settlements. I found a settlement through a quest and it is on a really really cool looking planet. I cannot claim/join the settlement because there are no settlers. The quest tells me to talk to a settler to resolve the distress beacon but there are no settlers.

Conquering Systems/Worlds - Gumminion Empire [Discussion]

Anyone else do this? When I conquer a system, I label it after my Empire (GE).

I have designed myself after Vader, my Freighter looks like a star destroyer and sought out ships that look like tie fighters all to fly in a squadron from system to system conquering and establishing bases & trade relations with the native species.

Gives me something to do end game. I have yet to run into another player in my systems but I hope someone finds it all one day. So far I've only met people on the glyph planet at my public TPs.

Base Salvage Capsule problem [Question]

Hi all,

I deleted a big base and really didn’t think to deconstruct it first. So I built a new one and then quickly built a base salvage capsule. Seemed like a lot of mats were there (maybe not all, but a lot). One item was a stack of 500 glass. I dumbly clicked on quick retrieve (since there’s nothing else you can do), and not realizing I probably didn’t have the pack space for it all, I heard the item transfer sound and poof, the stack seems gone. I can’t find the glass in my pack of shop or freighter…. Just poof. I reloaded the game quickly but it had saved, and the glass was still gone.

Any tips where they might’ve gone, or am I screwed?

TIA.

Closing the game does nothing, I’ve redownloaded the game and that does nothing, if I load any other save it works fine, even my old save from 2022. I’ve tried letting it load but that also doesn’t work, I saw online disabling wifi helps but that also didn’t fix it. This problem began at the same time I started getting the message “no man’s sky servers:connecting” so it might be related to that. Making a new save and then starting my main one makes it so it’ll load a bit more before freezing but that’s it. I’d love some help on this.

New vykeen settlement bug? [Bug]

I've been establishing my new settlements since the beacons update came out, but for some reason the last three I have tried established with vykeen as the dominant species, the admin building construction sight never spawns so there is no way to move forward. I have had no problems with settlements with any other dominant species. Anyone else seeing this issue. I can't seem to find it listed anywhere as a known issue...

PS5 x Switch cross save [Question]

Does anyone know if they will eventually be compatible now that cross-saving has finally rolled out? It seems the switch is behind the consoles. The original Switch. I plan on buying a new one eventually, but for now...

So far loving the improved Settlement, Wish we got Pirate Havens/ Settlements [Discussion]

The new update is great in refining and expanding a existing feature in the game. Settlements were an often a forgotten part of the game, and the update added more depth, some strategy and customization to the settlement buildings. It also adds New uses for Items such as Hot Ice and other trade/crafting items.

I do wish we had a Pirate haven or Specific settlement when setting up a settlement in a pirate system, like how we have autophage settlements introduced in the update.

I haven't seen if a settlement in a pirate system will produce Contraband or any special items, but if it does not, this would be a good advantage to add for a settlement in this specific type of system

Cross save No mans sky [Question]

Somebody knows what it can do here? I started a new game in switch and then I loaded the save on pc. Now I want to continue the game on switch and it says that the save file is from a newer version of no mans sky and can’t be loaded.

I have everything updated

Alguien sabe que se puede hacer aquí?

Empece en switch una partida y luego la seguí en pc. Ahora que vuelvo a la switch, ya tengo problemas para siquiera abrir la partida.

Tengo todo actualizado.

Killing creatures changes them [Suggestion]

wouldn't it be so much easier when you are out doing one of the kill 11 creatures missions if after you kill a creature it doesn't show up as a green paw print anymore?
