Don’t Forget to Turn off PvP [Information]

It’s been off for me for a long time but somehow today it got turned back on and I didn’t check. I wad minding my own business building up a little base with my survival run Gek when all of a sudden I was getting zapped out of nowhere. There was no one around I could see. No lethal plants or electrical anomalies. Fortunately it wasn’t too long since my last save. Just before I died I exited. I was sure to turn off PvP when I came back in. I’d only lost about a minute of stuff. Freaking griefers!

Where did my inventory go? [Question]

I ran around collecting gravitino balls and storm crystals for a while and just stopped to check the haul. Literally nothing in my empty inventory. Is this a bug?

Or possibly search for the most extremes when it comes to planet variation... im bored and have been to most galaxies. Including the used to be hidden 256th... I honestly just wanna help out some fellow space travelers who might be looking for a hand. šŸ‘ shoot me a message in interested. I might not respond immediately but we'll get you squared away.

Autophage Settlement on the edge of two worlds merging. (Calypso) [Screenshot]

I've been looking for interesting Waterworlds in Calypso and seeing what can and can't spawn on them. In the process I found a neat Waterworld with large crystals and put a marker to come back to it later.

On my return I used an Autophage Settlement map (to see if it would spawn on that world as it had more land than most Waterworlds) and it finally marked one after a few tries. As I went to the location (on the next planet over) I realized I hadn't spotted that the Waterworld and the adjacent terrestrial planet were actually overlapping.

This settlement spawned as close as is plausible to the overlapping section without it constantly bugging out and putting me under the very deep ocean (which was a problem I had as I tried to get closer to the settlement to begin with), but is so close to the overlap anyway that gravity is almost 75 degrees off and it's hard to even move around town without just falling away from it.

When taking off around town it usually seems normal-ish for a moment until you reach a critical threshold of proximity to the Waterworld when it promptly realizes it should be wet there and throws you up from the depths back at the terrestrial world.

This particular settlement is a real winner so far (but not really those debuffs suck, and the storms make it impossible to see) but, I'm gonna mess around with it for a while at least until I get tired of standing sideways all the time. haha

Two Updates I want: Walkable Exocrafts & Scanner Room [Suggestion]

Something that makes the game unbelievably fun for me is the ability to stay on one massive planet and explore as much as I can over one time period. But when playing with friends, or in general for quality of features I’d like to have two new exocrafts added or current ones modified to allow you to walk inside them.

It doesn’t have to be grand or big, but a submarine for example would be nice so I can use the handheld scanner to scan from within my ship. To catalogue things like animals plants and minerals. Similar for the surface, i’d like an exocraft that might function as a mobile crafting vehicle or cooking while watching scenery from the inside. Smelling that crispy alien cuisine as you watch farm animals outside gather around your tractor’s feeders outside it. The sunlight pouring in as daybreak happens upon your new alien home. Or from within a submarine watching a school of neon fish and mantas swim by and taking notes about them in your journal.

The other thing that i’d like, more for an assistance QoL feature if anything. Is the possibility of a scanner room like subnautica’s that you can potentially install into these vehicles. Something that shows a holographic map of your immediate vicinity, so that it’s easier to journal and map the cave systems or geography of a planet.

Missing Color Options [Bug]

I can't seem to find this color option for my base walls in the color menu. It just gives white/orange, grey/red, orange/teal, blue/orange, green/grey, yellow/purple, purple/white, and red/grey. If I switch to any of these colors I can't to back to the above color no matter what I try. Is this a bug or am I missing something?

Traveler's Log #1 [Screenshot]

Somewhere among the stars. Date and Time: Unknown

As I opened up my eyes, I began glazing upon the greenish wasteland that was the place that I found myself into. I didn't knew where I was, how I got there, or even who I was, all I knew was that I was in danger. My exosuit warned me of the high levels of toxin in the air of these lands and I quickly started looking for materials that could aid me in restoring my hazard protection shield that was running low from all the time I had been unconscious. Once I knew I was safe, at least for enough time, I was marveled by the hidden beauty of this mysterious world that was right in front of me. I could not help but wonder what happened to me, when I got a glimpse of a black smoke in the distance, something was burning. And so I started my walk through those beautiful toxic wastes to find whatever that was producing that black smoke.

To be continued...

Anyone else come across this… stuff? on a Gas Giant? [Video]

Caught me off guard at first as it reacted to my approach, some kind of un-scannable flora perhaps? I know it’s actually just a rendering glitch, looks like some odd LoD action, but seeing as how this was found on my first exploration to the surface below my orbital Gas Giant Research Station, the procedural happenstance just felt like magic, even if just a bug. I came across one other patch elsewhere on the surface later on, not sure if it’s persistent.

Missions objectives not checked [Question]

Hi guys,

I'm relatively new to this game that I love. I finished the first main mission, but the new objective, "Explore the galaxy," is kind of vague. I assume it's something that can't really be done. However, for another primary mission, "The Space Anomaly," the final objective is to purchase technology and complete Nexus missions, which I have already done. Is it normal to not be able to complete this mission?

Cross-Save ADVICE IF NEEDED (MAC-PC & XBOX-Steam) [Information]

No, not an Emulator, or NomNom, or borrowing NASA's computer for a bit.

So recently I have ran into the unique scenario of falling in love with a game I just found out existed since 2016. (Don't hate me). I played the game on my outdated PC build that runs Windows 10. To enhance performance I played on Nvidia GeForce Now Ultimate and also would allow even better performance on my MacBook M1.

Recently, I wanna cut out the payment to xbox and Nvidia to save money and purchased the game on Steam. Leave me alone I know this is confusing. lol. I enjoyed the smooth performance on my MacBook compared to even Nvidia. But I tried the cross save feature and had no luck UNTIL JUST NOW AT 250 A.M. Denver time July 22, 2025.

You cannot USB/Network transfer from PC to Mac or Xbox to Steam without extensive other third party things. Even after connecting my accounts at the official NMS Cross-Save address, I had no luck.

THIS IS WHAT I HAD TO DO:

Made sure Steam was downloaded on both my Mac and PC.

Made Sure all cross save data was "sent to cloud" (in game) as instructed on NMS official Cross save help address.

Made Sure my Local Xbox files (Gamepass or not) were saved to my PC HD.

Run NMS on Steam on my PC.

@ Main menu hit play as normal and no save will appear, yet a YELLOW HIGHLIGHTED BUTTON BELOW THAT will say "Manage Cross Saves **New saves available!"

And boom, there you go.

Complicated I know. Unique, I know as well, but for me, clearing steam caches and uninstalling and countless other tricks didn't work.

I know someone else out there is or will struggle with this too so hopefully this will now show up on Google for that person/people.

In short. the local saves you wish to transfer must physically be available on the same device for transferring Platform Xbox/Steam along with others.

I know, Im slow. All I do is...

Xbox Series X - No multiplayer or Network option [Bug]

Ok, this is really starting to do my head in! I really hope someone has an answer to fix this!

So no matter what i do or have done, my game no longer has the pre game menu where you select either solo play, or to join/host a game. And once in game, there is no Network option in the in game Options.

So, what have i tried? well...:- Deleted and reinstalled the game
Deleted and reinstalled the game including the save file.
factory reset my router
power cycled the console
did a factory reset of the console (but keeping games and apps)
Tried a different user profile, creating a new game - nothing
Tried forwarding ports on my router
Checked all privacy settings on both the console and via xbox website - setting it all to Everyone
tried joining a friend when they hosted - puts me into a loading/joining cycle

Yes, i have game pass ultimate and no, its not expired.

PLEASE! someone must have a fix, an idea i havent tried! im over 270 hours in on my main save

THE HUNTER [Discussion]

So I'm minding my own business trying to build an oxygen farm when this dude calling himself The Hunter flies over my base, hovers, checks me out and the lands........ This is my first person to person interaction outside the anomaly so I'm happy to chat or trade..... Nope.... Shotgun to the face and I'm dead. I revive and he there waiting for me and does it again...... Next time I had time to jump in my ship and take off.... But this cxck wasn't done..... Nope he chased me into orbit and ripped me a new one.

Sad to say I then decided to reload an old save point and lost my base I took all morning to build...... Lesson learned.... I've gone to the options and turned off the PVP.

Is there any way to skip the main story and explore the worlds part II content right away? [Question]

Literally all I want to do is go to the pretty new planets in the purple star systems to make fun bases and take nice screenshots only to find out that I need to finish the ENTIRE main story to be able to go to them.

After 7 hours of the most soul crushing brain numbing eye glazing slop (I know the developers put a lot of effort in and I recognize their work but like, come on) I'm still only halfway through ONE of the main stories. I just started patterns in time and I'm genuinely losing my mind knowing there's another 10 hours left before I can go back to having fun doing what I was ALREADY DOING, except this time in the really nice updated systems.

I don't care about the characters, I don't care about the dialog, I don't care about any of this. I absolutely adore the rest of the game and want more than anything to explore the new systems, but if I have to sit through another 10 hours of this go to objective -> interact with objective -> go to space -> tell X character Y -> go to new objective -> interact with new objective -> go to holo terminal -> tell Y character Z "story" I'm going to turn the boltcaster on myself next. The last 7 hours of my life could have been done in 5 minutes if these goddamn robots just had email.

Please tell me there's hope, or at least let me down easy

Be Careful Swapping/Buying Back Ships [Bug]

I spent many hours fabricating my perfect solar ship, and then moved it to the first slot by swapping/buying back what was there before, and then swapping/buying back the perfect ship I made.

Today I log in and the entire ship looks different. It has all the techs, stats and inventory that it should have but has completely different parts (wings/body/sails) and different colors. Not sure if it has anything to do with the swapping and selling, but beware people. There is a bug in the game and it is a big one.

Base building and cross save. [Question]

Beam down to planet from Freighter [Question]

I am jumping back into NMS after years and have finally got a freighter base up and running. Its been fun using the freighter to explore, to find planets I am used to.

I feel like my game has no gone from Star Wars, to Star Trek, and I would like to be able to teleport down to a planet and back to my freighter.

Is there the ability to do that in game already?

If not is anyone working on a mod to make this a thing?

If not, it maybe something I might try to do, and if so can someone point me at any modding guides?

any videos showing settlements of all three races for comparison? [Question]

I'm down to one last empty slot for a settlement to administer and I tried searching online for comparisons of what Vy'keen vs Gek vs Korvax buildings look like but most searches show me how to get an Autophage settlement instead.

I have one already, good to go on Autophage.

Due to odd luck, my other two settlements are both Korvax so I kinda want my last remaining one to be either Vy'keen or Gek. Then again the Korvax are my favorite race.

Anyone got a good resource they can recommend so I can find out what I'm missing out on by not having either a Vy'keen or Gek settlement? I want my last slot to be a good investment.

Orbital Freighter [Bug]

I don't know how popular this is, but this is the first time I've seen it

So, the cargo ship spawned right in the orbit of my first planet, so also vertically relative to the earth. It disappears if you enter the planet's atmosphere, but you can still fly inside and even communicate with its frigates. If you want to board, you will have to fly blindly, because the cargo ship will disappear visually and lose its collision, and therefore if you get out of your ship, you will start falling not to the planet, but into space.

My main language is not English, so if anything blame the translator

Freighter Update Needed? [Question]

Seeing as your first freighter is only a few hundred or thousand U long in length the actual inside part is small. That’s understandable. However, when you see massive ships like in star wars we see massive hangers where many ships can dock with big atriums, So you would assume the same when you have one of the biggest freighter in NMS. Nope, just the same tiny hanger and small cockpit. I understand you can expand via the base building aspect of a freighter but you can’t even see what you’ve built when flying nearby :/. We need more variety on the interior of freighters, almost like what we got with the space station update except you could possibly customise the hanger or larger rooms in more detail.

Multiplayer Insufficient? [Question]

Hey NMS,

I've been playing with my friend on multiplayer the last two days and the game is not acting right at all, at least not that I remember. We kill each other randomly whenever neither of us are aiming at one another, lag is rampant and connections are unstable, we can see things the other can't and all sorts of other things that I can't really recall (I have awful memory). Now coming off of that, from what I remember multiplayer wasn't this bad. It had its kinks but it feels a lot worse than I remember.

Just thought I should ask and see if more recent updates have done anything to the game or if it's just because I haven't played in a while. Any feedback's appreciated!

Sudden performance drop on NMS, and only NMS [Question]

A couple of days before the most recent bug fix, I began to experience extreme frame drops to the point that it's currently unplayable for me. This has not happened before. When I load into the game, it will appear normal in the menu until I try going into my save.

The loading screen stutters and takes longer than usual. When I finally get in, my FPS drops to 2 or less. It's also just as laggy when I hit the escape button to save my game. No matter how much I lower my graphics settings (I ususally use ultra), it doesn't make a difference.

This has never happened to me before, but now I'm unable to play because of it. My other main game, Dead by Daylight, works just fine. I'm thinking it's just a problem with NMS. What should I try to do?

NMS on Switch after PC-- worth it? + Survival options/difficulty [Question]

I'm still a bit of a newbie to this game, I've mainly been playing in creative mode. My brothers and I are planning on starting a survival game soon, but that's a whole other story. I took my freshly made fighter to the anomaly, and saw these Sentinel class ships, and I just had to get one. I don't know if I'm not reading the guides right, but I can't seem to find one for the life of me. Any tips or YouTube guides anyone knows of?

Stop on by the RO2ch Coach for some fresh air and food! [Screenshot]

Last weekend’s expedition served up a nice desert planet with some interesting and fairly unique rock features so I thought I’d park the RO2ch here for a while and enjoy view. Stop on by if you’re in the neighborhood and take a load off.

I don’t have a lot of room, but it’s cozy. Always nice to get away from all the pirate battles and overcrowded systems with everything going on these days.

I need help [Question]

I'm thinking of downloading this game and need some help. I've played Ark: Survival Evolved before and am wondering if NMS's multiplayer mode is similar to Ark's. What is the server system like? Is single-player or multiplayer better? I'd love your tips to make the game easier. Note: English isn't my native language, so please excuse any typos in the text.

Suggestion: Trade Runs, Pirate Factions and High-Risk Cargo – A New Layer of Gameplay Depth [Suggestion]

Hi everyone! After many hours in No Man's Sky, I've come to love how unique and immersive the game is. However, I believe there's still room for deeper systems that could enhance long-term engagement, especially for players who enjoy economics, roleplay, or challenge.

Here's a gameplay concept I'd love to see explored: a fully-fledged Trade and Pirate system that gives meaning to trade routes, risk management, and player choice. Hear me out! 🧭 1. Trade Runs – a Real Economy System

We already have the basics of trade in the game (buy low, sell high), but it’s very simplistic and low-risk. I propose two distinct and meaningful trade mechanics: āœ³ļø A. Station-Based Trading (Risk: Moderate) Buy goods from space stations. Sell them in other systems or trading posts. Subject to route ambushes or space hazards. Traders can be scanned by pirates or interceptors if carrying high-value goods. Reward: steady income, lower risk. āœ³ļø B. Settlement-Based Trade (Risk: High, but Profitable) Produce goods in settlements (player-managed or upgraded). Load cargo onto freighters. Full logistics cycle exposed to risk: production, loading, transit, unloading. Pirates may try to intercept cargo runs or even raid production hubs. Defensive systems, NPC bodyguards, or automated turrets can be installed and upgraded. Freighters on trade runs should be visibly flagged, marking them as targets – but also making successful runs satisfying. Reward: high profits, satisfying logistics gameplay. ā˜ ļø 2. Pirate Career Path – A Real Choice, with Consequences

Let players go all in on a pirate path, not just by shooting freighters randomly, but by committing to a role. šŸ”» Become a Pirate: Start a quest chain to renounce lawful allegiance. Align with pirate factions and gain access to unique missions, tech, weapons, or even...

Nintendo Switch 2 update ETA [Question]

I bought the game for Nintendo Switch 2 a few hours ago only to get disappointed because it doesn't share the same game version with PC (147408 on PC, 146586 on NSW2) so I cannot continue my save with more than 100h from Steam.

Does anyone know when this game version is going to be deployed on NSW2 or what is the average amount of days they take to get all the consoles on the same game version?

Freighter Redesign [Question]

Afternoon Travellers.

What’s the simplest/best way to reset/redesign a freighter? Mine is a total mess and I’d like to retain some rooms but ditch a load of corridors, rooms growing plants, etc. I’m finding it hard to find my way around and could do with it being smaller but some rooms that I’d like to retain are at the far end of the expanded ship.

MƩlangƩ ƈve online et No man s Sky [Discussion]

EVE Online est un jeu trĆØs riche en stratĆ©gie, avec une Ć©conomie complexe et des guerres massives entre joueurs. Mais son gameplay de combat est devenu lassant et un peu dĆ©modĆ©. ƀ l’inverse, No Man’s Sky offre une exploration libre, de la survie, de la construction, et des combats plus dynamiques.

Fusionner les deux permettrait de crĆ©er un jeu complet, avec la profondeur d’EVE et la libertĆ© moderne de No Man’s Sky. On aurait enfin un univers vaste, vivant, où chaque action aurait un vrai impact.

Imaginez : vous dĆ©collez de votre base construite Ć  la main sur une planĆØte inconnue, traversez un systĆØme stellaire jamais explorĆ©, et vous rejoignez votre corporation pour nĆ©gocier des ressources rares dans une station orbitale contrĆ“lĆ©e par un autre clan. Chaque planĆØte a ses secrets, chaque joueur peut changer l’équilibre Ć©conomique ou politique de l’univers. Vous ĆŖtes libre de devenir explorateur, contrebandier, commerƧant ou commandant d’une flotte galactique. Tout Ƨa dans un monde persistant, vivant, et rempli d’histoires crƩƩes par les joueurs eux-mĆŖmes.

Beaucoup pensent que Star Citizen fera Ƨa un jour, mais aprĆØs plus de dix ans, il n’est toujours pas fini. Il reste inaccessible pour la majoritĆ©. EVE et No Man’s Sky, eux, fonctionnent dĆ©jĆ . Leur fusion serait plus rĆ©aliste, plus rapide, et surtout plus fun.

Why EVE Online and No Man’s Sky Should Merge [Discussion]

EVE Online is a game rich in strategy, with a complex economy and massive player-driven wars. But its combat gameplay has become repetitive and outdated. In contrast, No Man’s Sky offers total freedom, exploration, survival, base-building, and more dynamic combat.

Merging the two would create a complete experience—combining EVE’s depth with No Man’s Sky’s modern freedom. It would finally bring us a vast, living universe where every action truly matters.

Just imagine: you lift off from a hand-built base on a mysterious planet, travel through a newly discovered star system, and rendezvous with your corporation to trade rare resources in a player-controlled orbital station. Every planet holds secrets. Every player has the power to shift the economic or political balance of the galaxy. You could be an explorer, a smuggler, a trader, or the commander of a powerful fleet. All within a persistent, player-driven world full of evolving stories.

Many believe Star Citizen will eventually deliver something like this—but after more than ten years of development, it’s still not finished and remains largely inaccessible. Meanwhile, EVE and No Man’s Sky already work. Their fusion would be more realistic, faster to achieve, and—above all—way more fun.

PSA for those experiencing the disappearing freighter glitch on Switch 2 [Information]

**Potential fixes at bottom

Since the last update I've been experiencing my freighter build parts disappearing and being replaced with empty space. Can't use anything on the freighter when this happens.

At first reloading the game fixed it, then nope.

I read that some had luck going into the warp menu and backing out, but that didn't work for me.

What WORKED for me was going up to the build area and pulling up the build menu. Picking a corridor to build made it so the green preview part would make the freighter parts reappear as it passed over them. So I could run around with a half-built corridor and magically paint my freighter back to life.

Hope this helps some people. I was afraid of losing access to freighter stuff until the next update. Hopefully they can iron out these bugs soon.

Complete Mega Treehouse Build Video - Open house out on hold [Fan Work]

Skip to 27:10 if you want the short version.

Go to 25:16 if you want to see me stand up for myself against the tornado bullies recking the neighborhood.

Here’s the video of the complete build of this once good looking treehouse (or house with a tree in the middle of it).

The update this morning turned my entire base an ugly combo of black and blue. Sorry Carolina Panthers fans but it’s not a good color scheme for a treehouse.

Because of this I’m putting the open house for the base on hold indefinitely. I can fix the wood walls pretty quick, but I pretty much have to redo all the stone walls completely. Unfortunately, there’s too much decor attached (or close to) these walls that will likely get deleted when fixing them. There’s at least 3000 plants placed in this base and having to redo half of them sounds like torture.

When things are fixed I’ll post a new date/time. At the rate things get patched in this game we’re looking at a month. At least I recorded the video yesterday before this happened!

Happy building! Well, hope your bases didn’t get ruined (again)!

Switch 2/ps5 cloud save issue is unacceptable [Discussion]

I waited 10 years to get into this game for the first time. I saw the new content and I liked what I saw. I bought a copy for ps5 and Switch 2 because of the trailer saying that cross save would be there at launch...but it seems like thats no longer the case. The ps5 version is a newer version I guess. I was so excited to get into this game and community only to realize I wasted my money on the switch 2 version. I cant put my brand new character with only a couple hours of gameplay on the file on the switch 2. Have Hello Games said anything about this? I'm so disappointed.

Expedition re runs in order? [Question]

Just started playing again a few weeks ago. Last time I played was before any expeditions, but in reading they sounds awesome and it seems a lot of cool stuff has come from them. Like the title says, when they do re runs of the expeditions are they in order? Say 1-5, or are they just another random one like expedition 12? Really would like to do all of them and I wish they would put a mode in to complete them all or for those who have, to play through them again. I put in a request on the hello games site btw not that it matters. I know there are ways to do them all and get the rewards by going through some of the files people have created. Just doesn’t seem right to me. Idk maybe I’m weird. I want it to be legit through the game. Anyway are they in order or just random ones when they do re runs?

Damn am I glad my dad got me back into playing NMS. [Discussion]

From where it all began to what it is now is mind blowing. I played about 50 hours a couple years ago and then stopped. Recently my dad started playing again and so I decided to reinstall, and boy am I glad I did.

Everything feels so good. The exploration is simply fascinating. The base building is fun. The anomaly rift missions are fun. Many improvements, freighters, squadrons, etc.

I absolutely love coming home after work and just relaxing in this game. I feel like a true explorer and everytime I land on a new planet I have such a passion to explore the awesome looking plants and animals. Digging deep into the planet to get underground, or finding buildings or lost technology.

It's been such a joy and I have to tip my hat to the devs. This may be one of the greatest gaming come back stories of all time. Love NMS!!!

Constant attacks by Threats. Is this normal? [Question]

I play with a couple other friends, just exploration and doing the main quests now. I've only been playing for a few weeks.

My question, how often do you all get attacked by random Threats / Pirates?

In the entire time I've played with my friends, they've been attacked maybe 2-3 times each.

I'm attacked every 30-45 minutes. Doesn't matter where I am, in a structure on a planet, about to dock with a station, just shooting asteroids. Constantly getting scanned and attacked.

Also, the number of ships attacking me. When my friends are attacked, it's like 1-2 ships. When I'm attacked, it's between 3-6 ships.

I spend so much time in combat, I'm considering giving up the game. Is there some toggle or flag I should look at? Just constant bad luck?

I would seriously like to know how any of these fixes would require a version change to the save file causing cross-save on the Switch to be knocked out for still more time.

I'm not in maintenance programming so I assume it's just an HG coding policy that every time you do anything to the program files you should increment the save file version number, even if it doesn't affect the save. Or if it does affect the save file then please explain how?

Permadeath Abandoned Hardest Survival Settings Mode - I can't stop!!! [Discussion]

I keep starting PDABHS (permadeath abandoned hardest survival) games over and over again - I can't stop!

It's really fun right now trying out new approaches at the start of these, getting all the way to establishing a base and having anomaly access and starting the grind for resources to get access to all systems.

At that point it's down to the grind really so I end up starting another just to play around. I haven't died in one of these saves for a long time, like months.

How do you even describe No Man’s Sky to someone who’s never played it? šŸ˜… Like, when I was playing DDVL (Disney Dreamlight), my brother was like, ā€œOh, you’re playing Mickey Mouse?ā€ When I played Skyrim: ā€œIs that your dragon sword game?ā€ šŸ˜‚ And now with No Man’s Sky: ā€œAh, the space game?ā€

I never really know how to explain it properly, so I usually just show a video lol. But I wanna do better than just saying ā€œit’s a space gameā€ šŸ˜…

Question and base sharing/City and coords [Question]

So this is my first HUGE base, I built a floating island house(pandora) then went and built another base in a mountain from a floating island with a big connecting bridge. Pandora markets. After building some of the market in the mountain (as I call it upper city) I wanted to expand upon the city on the other side of the bridge. (PICS attached with names for the areas)

Realized it's shared under one base terminal and I've very quickly reached the 3k building limit for uploading it, I'd love to keep expanding upon the base AND upload and share the base. Is there anyway to add another base terminal/split the base in half, that's across the bridge so I can have 3k each section. Or any other recommendations, as I still had a TON planned. Also started noticing colors to buildings or floors isn't sticking is this a common issue when getting close to the limit?

Would love if people check it out some time as my first big base!

My project on no man Sky [Question]

Hello traveling friends, today I would like to present to you my project for a new multiplayer mode on No Man's Sky. First of all, to do this, I would need 4 people who will be leaders of one of the 4 factions. I will be the leader of the Geks, but there are also the Autophagous, Korvax, and Vy'keen races. Each leader will be able to control an army of players who will each have their own profession.

There will be professions: fighters, who will fight on land and in space against other factions; farmers, who will be able to farm resources for their faction and other players; those who will trade with other races in places where PvP is prohibited; and explorers, who will explore planets in order to have the best resources. All factions will have their own capital, each in different systems, where everyone can build their house or whatever they want. This can help create friendships between players, share resources and even help each other with missions.

As a result, there will be PvP between factions, and rivalries can be created. Players will be able to attack other people of other races in the capital or elsewhere in the galaxy. For this mode, in order not to disturb those who want to play quietly, I think that this could happen in a galaxy where few people are present, such as galaxy 186 where almost no players are present. To communicate, a Discord will be made available depending on the factions. Strategies can be put in place for assaults on one's faction's Discord. Special Cross-Faction Events: Host regular events where factions can compete or cooperate in specific challenges, such as ship races, building competitions, or rare creature hunting missions. Reputation and Alliance System: Introduce a reputation system that affects relationships between factions. Players could gain or lose reputation based on their actions, which could lead to strategic alliances or open wars....

Disappointed in animal/plant species. [Discussion]

I just got this game and I was excited to see the procedurally generated plants and animals. Especially since I’m studying Biology for college. But unfortunately there isn’t any real ecosystems. It’s just like 15~ slightly adjusted clones of the same animal per planet.

I was hoping the creatures wouldn’t have like defined types in the game that get minor variations, but instead there being no premade species at all. It’s kinda hard for me to explain.

Like, there’s no base ā€œbirdā€ that gets its parts randomly swapped around. Instead the animals would have traits that can be merged together and would procedurally generate actually random animals.

Like for example: A 4-legs trait, a wings trait, body length 3-feet trait, no tail trait, etc

The traits would be merged together to generate an actual random species. A bird species would only resemble a bird because it had the wing trait, beak trait, etc.

Same sort of thing could apply to plants.

This can help create friendships between players, share resources and even help each other with missions.

As a result, there will be PvP between factions, and rivalries can be created. Players will be able to attack other people of other races in the capital or elsewhere in the galaxy. For this mode, in order not to disturb those who want to play quietly, I think that this could happen in a galaxy where few people are present, such as galaxy 186 where almost no players are present. To communicate, a Discord will be made available depending on the factions. Strategies can be put in place for assaults on one's faction's Discord. Special Cross-Faction Events: Host regular events where factions can compete or cooperate in specific challenges, such as ship races, building competitions, or rare creature hunting missions. Reputation and Alliance System: Introduce a reputation system that affects relationships between factions. Players could gain or lose reputation based on their actions, which could lead to strategic alliances or open wars. Dynamic economy: Create a market where resources...

Scanner separated from multitool [Discussion]

I have 2 multi-tools, one for mining resources and one as a weapon. It always bothered me that I had so many different settings on a multitool for so long, which is why I made two different ones. The only stupid thing is that I can only make the scanner really good in one way because I don't have every scanner improvement twice

Wouldn't it make more logical sense that the analysis/combat sight gets a slot where only the scanner is improved? What are your opinions dazz?

Can you tame flying Creatures? [Question]

I've been lurking for a while here but today i gotta share some screenshots of this beautiful game here myself.

I've never really thought about it before, but yesterday i've randomly stumbled upon these "Birds" with their beautiful Butterfly-like wings and now i wanna know if there is a way to tame them, or take them with you as pets?
Or is that limited to only land creatures?

Follow-Up: I Turned My NMS Music Video into a Full Lyric Video [Fan Work Video]

Hello again fellow travellers,

Earlier this year I put up a post entitled "I asked Hello Games if I could make a music video using No Man's Sky and they said yes!" (original post here) about, surprisingly enough, a music video I made for my band 60th Parallel using gameplay footage from No Man’s Sky on PS5.

The video was completely visual with no lyrics on screen and some of you noticed that certain moments seemed to reflect the words of the song. That really stuck with me, I was proud that some people noticed it wasn't just random scenes thrown together. But I thought I'd make it easier to spot.

So I went back and made a full lyric video, where each line in every verse is is now displayed, showing the connection between the No Man's Sky footage and the in-song story more clearly.

Thanks again for the love on the original post, it genuinely pushed me to make this version.

Peace and love and unity to all interlopers,

GRAH!

Oh, and if there are any drummers in the Southampton, UK area looking for something to do, drop me a DM.

Why no Exosuit stats? [Discussion]

They could at least show some intergrated stats like they do for Multi-Tools. They don't show reload speed, clip size, damage increase %, they just slapped one number on there: Damage potential — this (Scan range — that). And that's more than enough.

Me simple man, many number no need, one number good. Me do upgrade, number go up, me happy. Number go down, me change things.

Also, it's better than nothing. If they could give me like Mobility and Survivability estimates on the Exosuit, I'd be happy.

Resources have disappeared from exosuit?? [Bug]

Hi everyone,

I'm new to this sub, I bought no mans sky shortly after release, when it was on the PS Store for £9.99 (when it had a bad reputation).

I have only just started playing in last week or so, but I have logged into my last save game and all of the resources from my Exosuit have disappeared and all of the upgrades show damaged.

So I'm stuck in a base on an ice world and can't get resources to repair any quickly enough before I die.

Has this happened to anyone else and do I have any way to get my resources back? Earlier save back ups or anything like that?

Thanks in advance for any help!

Few queries: Does anyone else treat their freighter like their primary base? & more [Question]

I mean sure I have bases across Euclid and Eissentam systems but I rarely touch down on the bases. Occasionally I’ll drop in for a few resources (mainly oxygen) but then I bounce. These days I’m only building bases near portals I find. I know there’s no wrong way to play, but am I missing out on not dropping in more often?

That leads me to my next question. Aside from the discoveries log, how are you all keeping track of the systems / planets you visit and when? I’m sure I have save points just littered throughout the cosmos for planets I forgot to revisit and I’ve lost whatever station was the closest. I guess that’s a big question….how are you keeping track of the [important] stations you visit—aside from the favorites function?

Why has the X button on my Xbox controller stopped working? [Bug]

XBox Controller / Steam / MacOS

X button stopped working specifically as Starship Boost button. It works as usual in every other context that it's mapped for use, On Foot, Menus, Exocraft, you name it.

I was playing as normal, saved the game and quit to desktop. Went to shower, came back, logged on as normal, and this bug had appeared. I attempted to reset and remap controls – what you see above is the response I get when I attempt to remap X button to Starship Boost function.

I also removed all other instances where X was mapped, expecting there might be some conflict that has suddenly decided to prevent me from using X as the Boost button when in Starship. No dice.

To make things stranger, I connected my housemate's controller (exact same model, firmware, etc.) and the X button works fine on it, can both remap and use the button when I'm using his controller.

Anyone seen this before? How can I resolve?

Trapped outside capital ship [Screenshot]

I’m only at around 100hrs in my first play through, so this may be common, but when I loaded into the game, I was stuck in the floor of my capital ship and could see the interior and the clipped ā€œbetweenā€ space below the floor of my capital ship. When I tried to move, I fell a bit and hit my jets and ended up on the outside of the ship.

Walked around a bit, couldn’t figure out how to get in, transferred all of my exosuit inventory to the ships and jumped off the side and died immediately and spawned back in on the system’s space station. It was fun.

So I was just doing my thing when I came across a freighter battle.

I already had an S-class regular 'system' freighter people call it but when I beat this fight, I could still claim it, for free? I'm confused, I thought you could only have 1 free freighter?

This was also my first 'capital freighter' battle where you actually fly across the bow/damage it's turrets and such. I did not have any cash left so I figured i'd just take the pay-out. But when I got to the captain I could claim it 'FOR FREE'. How? I already had a freighter? And an S-class spawning on first outing in a first capital battle? Lucky?

Literally took me under an hour of farming dreadnaughts to get, i dunno what all the fuss is about! :P [Screenshot]

you can get quite efficient at farming these if you find a guaranteed spawn system (just hop between outlaw systems until you get one, then leave and re-enter the same system), change power settings to engines, fly to the pulse engines, swap power to weapons, destroy pulse engines, then work your way through each cannon until you've destroyed them. don't worry about the torpedos or the civilian ship, it will almost never die if you're fast enough.

New to NMS [Question]

Hello everyone,

I’ve been having a bit of trouble when playing some games — sometimes I’m not sure if I’m missing something important or if it’s okay to skip certain things. So, I have a few questions about No Man’s Sky, this lovely game: Is it better to rush the main quest in normal mode? I really enjoy building, but I prefer to focus on just one base, not many. I’ve noticed that base-building seems to be a common thing in every galaxy. So my question is: can I build one main base and always return to it via portals, even after switching galaxies? Or is that not possible? I’ve heard that you "lose" your base when you change galaxies — but maybe that’s just a misunderstanding on my part. Is it worth collecting all the "junk" from broken items, ships, or machinery? Or is it better to ignore some of it to avoid a cluttered inventory? How do I know what items I can safely sell or discard? Sometimes I keep everything just in case, but I know that’s not efficient. Are there categories or indicators that help decide this? What items are considered rare or valuable to keep an eye on? I’d love to know what’s actually hard to find later so I don’t throw it away by accident. Is there a recommended or efficient path to follow early in the game? I know this game is all about exploration and going at your own pace, but I was wondering if there are common early goals that experienced players usually aim for. Are there certain items or upgrades I should prioritize?

Basically, I'm trying to find a balance between enjoying the journey and not getting stuck or overwhelmed early on. Any advice from seasoned players would be very appreciated! Is it worth rushing an S-class ship or multitool? What’s a good way to make money fast without relying on exploits? (Actually I'm finding broken spacecrafts and seeling them) Is farming for specific resources early on a smart move?

Issues Discussion [Console Specific] [Discussion]

Ships still clip through space station runways, despite space stations having a their size increased. (Ship size was also increased, which probably didn't help).

Ships hit low part of Freighter entrance upon exiting, and clips upon entering.

In some Exocrafts, the First and Third Person views are too narrow with the external camera, and too wide with the internal camera. (I'm not sure if On-Foot FOV affects this, because there are no Exocraft FOV settings.

On-Foot FOV could be wider, but this shouldn't cause the camera view to go fish-eye, or the opposite effect, leading to motion sickness.

Scanner Contrast/Visibility? [Question]

Hey all! So I recently got into NMS and I have been having a blast. The game has definitely come a long ways from launch and I'm so happy to see it.

However, I am having some frustration with the analysis scanner for flora/fauna/minerals. I find it extremely hard to see what I'm looking at with the blue tint overwhelming the screen and I can't tell what has or hasn't been scanned when it comes to flora and minerals besides the text on the left which is extremely unintuitive (the fauna icons do help though). I am aware of the automatic scanning option but it doesn't really help like I hoped it would.

A few years ago I tried NMS for the first time and only got a few hours in because I got frustrated with the VERY vertical terrain of the planet I spawned on (maybe I got unlucky). I never bothered to try again until just recently. Anyways, I could have sworn I remembered the visibility of unscanned entities being so much easier to distinguish. Did they use to have a green/red tint overlay? Is there a mod out there that brings this back?

Settlement's resource production broken? [Bug]

I noticed my settlements resource production didn't make sense, like my A class upgraded settlement was producing 1 product every ~30 hours, whereas my C class barely upgraded settlement was producing 5 of the same product every 6 hours. So I started investigating. At first I thought it was the system economy since the A class was in a 1 star and the C class was in a 3 star. But my 3rd settlement is in a 3 star and produces similar to my A class.

So I started making notes when I upgrade buildings and realized the more you upgrade settlements, the slower resource production gets. My c class is now producing 5 items every 7 hrs 26 minutes, when before I unveiled the last building upgrade it was 7 hours 24 minutes. This is all up from the 6 hours it was at when I first got it out of debt.

TLDR settlement resource production is backwards and gets worse the more you upgrade

Using Hyaline Brain to get Harmonic Brain [Question]

I'm trying to finish Expedition 12 in offline mode, and have completed all of the quests except Radiant Flight, the one that requires you to obtain a Sentinel Interceptor. I can't manage to acquire a Harmonic Brain but have all the other materials.

Apparently you're supposed to be able to use the Hyaline Brain to locate something that converts it into a Harmonic Brain, but this functionality doesn't work for me—the scan that triggers when I hold E on the Hyaline Brain never turns anything up. I've tried this on numerous planets and in numerous systems, including on a dissonant planet.

From what I gather, using the Hyaline Brain just leads you to a monolith anyway. I found a monolith through other means and managed to get a reward from it, but it didn't convert the Hyaline Brain to a Harmonic Brain. Do I have to find the monolith via the Hyaline Brain for it to do the conversion? Is it an RNG thing? Is there some other way to do this?

Missing my base from the Relics expedition [Question]

Not sure if that's the right flair but there's no "missing bases" option lol.

Now that the Relics expedition is over, while all of my other bases show up at the teleporter, this one has just disappeared, along with the fossils and all materials it took to build it. I've run throught the whole game, got to the center and found purple systems, so its not that.

Do I have any recourse? Has anyone out there ever retrieved a missing base? Do I just consider it gone for good?

Auto Crafting sub recipes would be nice [Discussion]

I sometimes find it annoying when I need to craft an object for an interaction or when a recipe requires sub recipes i.e carbon nanotubes or the classic not enough metal plating when building.

I’m not a builder outside of a basic base. Multiplayer/pvp is off, fine with combat but mostly an explorer type.

What upgrade recommendations would you suggest?

I’m new enough that I really don’t have any idea what makes the most sense for an upgrade path. For example I carried around an exocraft laser upgrade for a long time trying to figure out how to use it, not knowing what an exocraft was or even owning one. Still don’t. lol. EMBARRASSING!

Normal mode!! And questions [Question]

New player here, made a mistake speed running in creative mode to learn the ropes. Created a new normal save and enjoying the game as it is. What I missed in creative mode was the step by step base building quests, stuff like connecting the electrical wirings... didn't know portals and storage boxes required power to operate, just mesmerized by the details this game has and showed me what I missed in creative. Never had more fun when I happened to start on a high sentinel activity planet and had to start shooting sentinel drones within 30 minutes of game start while hiding behind caves and carbon crystals. Was funny when I just bailed to space to escape just to know that I ran out of fuel and fortunately found a tritium rock to the rescue!

Set up a base top of a hill on a nice wormy planet with a 360 view of the worms, man I just love those terrifying creatures, not sure if I can pet one lol.

I'm just not learning how to make a hermetic seal then [Information]

Not today I learned, but today I remembered since I started a new save that if you've got the tutorial mission running and you happen to find a component to complete part of a quest, you will never learn that recipe.

I happened to be spawned right next to not one but two repositories, and manage to buy a hermetic seal off a merchant.

Quickest ship repair and time off the planet, clocking in at under 5 minutes.

However, now that I go to do my usual money making scheme of find a couple of crashed ships and repair them.. I go to make a hermetic seal.

And because I never got to the part of the mission where I actually read the log at the shelter site to get the hermetic seal, I do not have the hermetic seal recipe.

The same thing has happened to me before when I stumbled upon some antimatter, or happened to get an antimatter housing from a freighter crash site or a Warp cell before the tutorial mission cues me to do so. Obtaining those things before the tutorial mission needs them equals no recipe given for that particular component.

This seems like a day one problem, that is still left unsolved.

Opened NMS for the first time since 2021. [Question]

The first thing I checked was my original spawn planet. And it seems like it changed to a tropical planet? Originally it was a fiery planet and had a red surface. Now coming back to it it’s tropical and blue…

Finding abandoned ship [Question]

So I am new, 10 hours of playtime. While working with a drop pod I stumbled across a broken down ship that I claimed as my own. I did not have materials to make a say vegan, and for the life of me I couldn’t figure out how to mark the location. I claimed the ship, but now I can’t find it.Is it just gone forever or is there a way to ping it?

Number of slots in fabricator [Question]

I am building a S-class fighter and have been through a couple of space station to see the different slot setups. The number of slots seems fairly low. What would you consider a good/high number of slots when building a fighter? And maybe also for other ship types if it varies between the different types?

Which were the best expeditions? [Question]

Hi all. I'm a relatively new player but have absolutely fallen for this game. I bought it on the Switch 2 & love it so much I sprung for the PC version too. Now, I am about 70 hours in & considering using the PC to play some of the expeditions & i was wondering if there are any that are considered better than others or should I just go through the first one?

Someone gave me 50 of IA something junk and when I sold it gave me 600 million units. [Question]

Hi! I'm new to the game and just got into the Anomaly. As soon as I started the main quest there (talking to the NPCs), I saw a log saying someone gave me 50 "AI something" — I don't remember the exact name. Later, when I went to buy some resources, I noticed that selling those items would give me around 600 million units.

So my question is: will this ruin my experience because of the money I received? I don’t want to skip the natural progression and end up missing out on the fun of the game.

Just a glitch or unintentional leak? [Question]

So I launch the game (Steam on a Mac) and there's an update. Download. I'm playing for maybe 30 mins and notice a weird symbol in my suit inventory that I can't remove. Researched and found nothing. Was Au++ something from way back in the early days of the game or is this something new?

need help finding an old nms video [Question]

Hello, I was trying to look for the youtube video that first got me interested in no mans sky, but i cant remember much about it since i watched it like a year ago or so. It was titled something like "finding the most BIZZARE creature in no mans sky" but it doesnt come up when i search that on youtube, so it might be taken down, but if its not heres what i remember from the actual video itself:

-there was a "preview" at the start of the video where the guy playing said "WHAT THE F***K IS THAT?! HUH?!" after seeing a sandworm

-he called a planet "Brap G6" after seeing that hazardous flora that spews gas

-It had a purple "minion" thing on the thumbnail and a realistic astronaut, but this might not be all that useful if he changed it

That's all i remember, i would appreciate any help!

How are we supposed to play cross platform when the updates or patches are released at different times?? [Question]

I bought the NMS game for switch yesterday but I mainly play it for my PC. I wanted to download the world and play it on an international flight I have, too excited about it. For when I see that the nintendo switch version is not the same as the PC and... and I can not play it! How does it make any sense to even set up the cross platform if we can not play it because of different version of patches? Also, if these were one day of difference, sure, but it seeems like it has been a week. I am considering to return the game since this is a joke.

How do you guys usually deal with this issue? I saw I can not stop the game from automatically patching on Steam.

Settlement Construction Stuck [Question]

I just took over my first Autophage settlement and it says I'm supposed to build the Overseer's office. However, it looks like no construction site spawned for it. For some reason it left the quest marker at the hub in the middle of town as well.

This has happened to me before in a similar way. I had a fully developed settlement but a new construction site for some apartments just bugged out, didn't spawn a terminal, and it left the next step marker at the town square. That was a Korvax settlement though that wasn't part of any quest.

Anyone know what's going on? Am I missing something? Bug? Workarounds?

Need help finding my ship [Question]

I have a sentinel ship that I got from a mission a while ago and its been my main ship. One problem is that it runs on Pugneum. I ran out of it so I landed the ship on a planet and went to look for sentinels to kill but found none and my ship had already ran out of fuel to fly. I used a different ship to grab some Pugneum but now I can't find my sentinel ship. It's just gone. And I can't call it over since it has no fuel.

Weird Start-up Bug/Crash [Video]

Then it hit me, the only difference between those two moments was while I was working, I was listening to music on my Bluetooth speaker. When I tried to game later, I was using my wireless headset.

Do I need to unlock the Weapon Rack? [Question]

Apparently the Weapon Rack is supposed to show up in the Furnishings tab of the base builder. It's not listed there for me, and there don't appear to be any blueprints available for it anywhere. Is this something I need to unlock somehow, or is there some kind of bug with my game?

My entire Furnishings tab offers just one option: an Industrial Barrel

I have the Core Habitation Tech tree fully unlocked

There doesn't appear to be anything in the freighter tech tree related to it

Ummmm... What? [Screenshot]

So this just happened... For reference, I'm on a lava world with no water natural water sources on the entire planet. The only source of water on this world is a glorified hot tub "Fishing pond" I just finished building yesterday. So I suppose this "deep sea exploration venture" was in my hot tub? What should I do here, any advice? Should I send him to an unpleasant, but probably actually more pleasant than this one, world? Or perhaps I should ground him to his room for a few days. You know what! Poluting my hot tub is the most serious crime possible, for that reason he is going to be paying a fine to repair the damages he's caused!

BTW: Just in case someone isn't able to understand my sarcasm, I understand that this is a randomely occuring event that's not related to planet type. I just found it funny.

I approached the planet with 2 pirate transponders. Left with 15. Are some planets infested with pirates?? [Question]

Part question, part just general sharing. I was exploring a new system, nothing out of the ordinary. I tried to enter the atmosphere of the planet Nucisc maybe 5 or 6 times. Each time, hostile ships attacked. I'm not complaining because each had a high bounty (I'm up a few million units now), but it was definitely amusing and, at the end, it got just annoying enough that I did something I've never done before: I used a defense chit. Are some planets super prone to pirates, or was this just some crazy coincidence?

Anyone regained interests in NMS from Permadeath mode? [Discussion]

With my normal mode game, I have been on and off.

Even when I told myself 'This time I would thoroughly enjoy my journey in this game, and try everything they offer in the game', I always ended up getting into my old normal mode save which has tons of money (given by an unknown player in Anomaly), S-class Freighter and S-class ships, and S- everything, and spending meaningless time searching for good looking ships.

Also, as money on the save was not really earned through my play in the first place even before I finished the Artemis quest line, I did not want to grind for any materials or resources as intended because I see no point to do it; I have money to bypass (even without money, I can always change the difficulty setting to make everything free), enemies are just brain-dead-easy with S-class ships and tools, and even if I killed myself be killed from some stupid reason, or because of swarm of enemies, there is no penalty.

So, for most of my playthrough, I see no point on having exocraft vehicles or minotaurus, freighter upgrade, and even some of the modules that game offers.

Then, one day, I started my permadeath play through, and set the difficulty to the highest and locked it in (don't know why but I felt like it at the time), so as to prevent myself from changing the difficulty to free everything to upgrade or buy ships and tools I want.

Now I am just hooked in to this game, every thing that I thought it is dead easy and boring became adequately intense and difficult which needed thoughtful preparation and plan. Everything that I thought no point using such as exocrafts and modules, now I see the point in using them while adventuring. Guild quests, trading, and navigation data to buy maps for treasure hunting for good sum of money; Grinding for resources to build bases for better resource supply. The star ships that I used to...

Becoming a nomad [Question]

Transitioning from a brand new player to the traveler/wanderer I want to become. I’m nearing the end of the Artemis Quest and about to start the portal hunting phase of the Atlas Quest.

I only have my original, minimal base and have decided that for now at least, I’m going to create a Freighter Base and stay as untethered from planets as possible. I’m currently hunting for the perfect freighter and researching how to get set up before I go back to moving quests along. A few questions have come up that I’m hoping to get answers to….

I just got my first settlement and spent some time planetside upgrading it. When I leave this system, is there an interface I can use to oversee the settlement from space, or do I have to teleport myself back there to do upgrades, etc…?

I have a construction overseer and a science technician at my original base. Both hired through the tutorial missions. I would like to beam them aboard and take them with me. If I dismantle my current construction and science stations and rebuild them on the freighter, does my crew come with me, or do I have to rehire new ones? I’m also assuming g that if I dismantle and rebuild my storage container that everything in it will still be there, correct?

I purchased plans at the Anomaly for the medium and large refiner, but have not built either yet. Am I correct in thinking that the large refiner essentially makes the medium one obsolete?

Any tips or recommendations of what I should be looking to do right away to get ready for this? I have some warp drive upgrades on my fighter that I’m assuming I can package up and transfer to the freighter when I find one. My plan is to warp travel with the freighter and only use my smaller starships for intra system travel.

Appreciate any help….

[Discussion] Help Me Refine My NMS Nuzlocke Challenge [Discussion]

Hey Travelers,

I’ve been working on a custom No Man’s Sky Nuzlocke challenge, and I’m looking for input. The idea is to create a hardcore permadeath run with strict survival, exploration, and progression rules. The main goal is simple:

Reach the Galactic Center as fast as possible …without breaking the rules or dying even once.

Here’s the current ruleset:

āø»

Core Rules 1. Fauna Completionist You must scan every fauna species on every planet you visit before leaving it. No skipping! 2. Permadeath + Minimal Inventory Play on Permadeath difficulty. Only use the starter inventory — no expanding exosuit slots or cargo unless absolutely forced by story progression. 3. No Anomaly Upgrades You can’t use the Space Anomaly for upgrades, blueprints, or trade. Visiting is allowed, but no help from it. 4. Shipwreck-Only Rule You may not buy or trade for ships. Only crashed/fallen ships discovered organically in the wild may be claimed and used. 5. Limited Storage Use only your ship inventory and exosuit. No storage containers, base building, or freighter storage allowed.

āø»

Optional Hardcore Modifiers (Open for Debate) • One Ship Rule: You must abandon your current ship permanently once you claim a new crashed one. • No Save-Scumming: No reloading to escape death or manipulate RNG. • No Terrain Manipulator: Can’t be used unless it’s a hard requirement for quest progression. • No NPC Trade Posts or Space Station Trading: Everything must be gathered or crafted — no market access.

āø»

What Would You Change?

I’m aiming for something that’s both brutally difficult and thematically immersive — heavy on survival, light on handholding.

Are there any other rules or mechanics you’d suggest adding, removing, or tweaking? Would love to hear how you’d Nuzlocke NMS.

May the Sentinels ignore...

Are Hydroponic Trays Removed? [Question]

Fairly high end player, solid A class freighter, almost 2 bil in the bank, everything is good. But I just got on after being away for about 4 years or so I'd guess. Now it doesn't seem like I can build hydroponic trays and can only build cultivation rooms. Please tell me I'm missing something, those rooms seem to take up about the same amount of space to grow 2 plants when I was able to grow 4 with trays, and they have walls. Did they remove and replace? My old trays are still there and still productive. Tyia.

Wishing for a Freighter Update [Discussion]

So after playing a lot of NMS, the only thing that feels kinda incomplete are the freighters When I first got my free freighter, I was very excited (because having a giant ship is sick). But after some time of using it, I feel the only thing it does for me is use frigates for loot and high hyperdrive range. I just wish there were more things to do with it, such as: Being able to fly the freighter around a system, having the feature of much stronger weapons and shields, and also having a much faster pulse drive for those occasional 1 minute pulse drives. Being able to have a freighter battle where, if you warp into a pirate system with your freighter you can trigger a battle where you and your frigates fight a pirate dreadnought. We have living ships and living frigates, why not finish the group with living freighters? You would have to make a more powerful dream aerial to lure one of these, and when you own it, It has a further hyperdrive at the cost of weaker weapons.

I think this would be a great update (or multiple updates) that could also have an interesting expedition.

Giant Green Transparent Squid seen, NO WHERE ON THE FAUNA MENU?! PLEASE HELP! [Question]

Soooooo yeah.

I was fishing for a Nexus mission, when suddenly this GIANT squid appears, not only in not so deep water, but literarily DISSAPERS while in plain sight.

And, to top it off, it's NOT IN THE FAUNA MENU?! (link to post with photos and coords)

In the linked post I'll have the coordinates if you want to try finding this yourself, because I couldn't.

And any idea WHY this happened?!

Questionably Sweet Cake makes Nanite farming so easy. [Information]

I’ve got a planet with 3 curious deposit farms and a really good Atlantid Multi-tool. With 1 Questionably Sweet Cake I was able to get 853,295 Runaway Mould in under 10 minutes. Could have got more. Since each stack of 9,999 in a refiner gets 1,999 nanites that should come out to about 171,000 nanites. Refining them is going to take forever

I’m sure some of you already know this but I’ve seen people on here asking how to get a lot of nanites so I figured I would post this thinking it might help somebody.

All my game saves are gone [Bug]

Hello! Fair warning this is probably my first ever reddit post because I can't figure out what to do without support getting back to me.

I play nms from Xbox game pass on my series x and also on My rog ally (still through Xbox app) when I'm traveling for work. I travel every week for a few days so it's equal time between them both probably.

I was playing on my ally at work last week and I ended up getting an infinite warp glitch (stuck in the warp animation for a long time and never seeming to get to the destination) so I force closed the game. This has happened many times in the ally so it wasn't a weird thing to happen.

I got off for the night after that and when I got back on the next night all my saves were missing and it was having me start a new game.

I tried joining a friends game and still was having me start a new game. I deleted the game and reinstalled to find the same thing. Did the updates as they came and still nothing. So I put it down til I got home a few days later thinking when I got home to my Xbox it might correct it self, but no. I have no saves at all in the cloud it seems.

Id understand if maybe me force closing that game corrupted that save somehow but why are all the other games missing as well.

I contacted support and they will not get back to me still and I'm not pushy or rude with it, I totally understand things are busy in support departments and also it ever. Says they may not get back to you over but reports unless further info is needed but id just really like to know what to do.

I don't mind starting over to kill time in a new save and maybe find stuff I could come back to in my main save if I like it. But I don't want to possibly further mess up things by doing that. I have been no lifeing this lately because after work I have little to do at this new hotel we are at and it's just a lil disappointing to spend such time grinding out...

want to play more but the game felt a bit intimidating [Question]

I have 330 hours on es2, 70 on subnautica and some large 3 digit number (not tracked on android) on minecraft so this should be the game for me, but I suck at survival games where you need too many types of resources. I played nms briefly (about 3hrs) on normal and was constantly running out of crafting materials, plane fuel and oxygen. I see bits and pieces of people's post here and am both amazed and a bit scared of the amount of content there is. Apparently there are theoretically infinite planets to explore and you can fly a frigate? So my questions are:

how many hours did it take you from start to get a hang of what you are doing? It took me iirc around 5 on subnautica and 10-20 on es2 but nms seems to has a lot more to do than either of those.

how much would I be missing out if I just play creative? I played the second easiest setting in subnautica because if I played survival the story wont trigger. I also primarily played minecraft on creative.

can you change difficulty settings of a game once you create it?

Is it possible to play nms in short sittings? atm I cannot play video games for a whole afternoon but I can play in 30-60 minute periods.

No man's sky World part 3 (Any ideas šŸ¤”) [Discussion]

Hi!

I started this game not too long ago and, obviously, I love it. I’ve learned a bit about its history—how the launch back in 2016 was a flop, all the pressure the devs went through, etc. But years later, they really turned things around with amazing updates… and now the game feels perfect (to me, at least).

At the beginning of the year, they released No Man’s Sky Worlds Part 2, with lots of new features and stuff. And now I keep hearing about another game they’re developing… related to NMS??? I’m not entirely sure I understand, but whatever.

Do you guys think there will be a Part 3? And if so… what kind of features would it include?

I wonder if they get their inspiration from everyone’s ideas? Even when they dropped the Beacon update, people seemed pretty happy with it. Anyway, as a new player, there’s already so much to do that they could release another update months from now and I’d still be busy šŸ¤£šŸ˜‚

Settlement debt bug, there is hope [Bug]

After the latest update one of my settlements suddenly showed this huge debt, when it was productive before. I didn't play for a couple of weeks but last night I logged in and there was a settlement decision, one that could decrease maintenance cost but would add more debt. I thought why not, and that actually fixed the debt issue. The small amount incurred from the decision cleared in a few minutes and now things are back to normal. If this happens to you, don't be quick to abandon, and maybe one of the settlement decisions will reset things.

How do I achieve 144fps? [Question]

So I have a 3090 24gb and a 5950x. Running the game on a ultrawide 34' 3440x1440p 144hz monitor. I'm trying to get 144fps consistantly, but I can't seem to get there. Even running the game at ultra everything settings and DLSS set to balanced, my gpu is only tasked at 50-60% usage. And my cpu usage has barely any usage. So what am I doing wrong? If the gpu utilization isn't very high, why am I not able to achieve 144fps? My average fps fluctuates between 60-90fps at these settings. I've tried lowering the settings to high across the board and restart the game each time I change settings, but that doesn't seem to work. I'm lost as how I can max the frames out on this monitor.

Devs can you make the docks and captains quarters in the freighters different [Suggestion]

Just got the dreadnought for the first time and upon entering I thought the inside would look different but alas it’s all the same. I understand that’s why we get to create the inside. If anything give us the ability to create and remove the inside of the captains quarters to make it look like a completely new room and not the same for EVERY single freighter. Give like maybe 4-5 different dock layouts. If we are not given the creative option for the captains quarters then have like 3-4 different layouts for it but, based off on which type of freighter you get. If it’s a small one, there’s like 2-3 options, medium 2-3, large 3-4, Capital 4-5, Pirate 4-5 but, they’re allllll completely different layouts based on the size of the ship. Games been out since 2016. Let’s spice some things up

Well, this sucks... [Bug]

So I got a Sentinel Interloper ship and have been loving it. I moved everything to it, as it was my second ship after the starting ship. EVERYTHING. All my ship tech, all of my inventory...

I went back to the dissonant planet I found it on because I needed a Crystallized Heart to finish unlocking a new Multi-tool I found. It just so happens that I left a save beacon next to the ship because I wasn't sure if I'd be able to find the ship again before I finished repairing it.

When I returned to the planet, I found another ship in the same spot. I was so excited. I was going to claim it, strip it, sell it for Units. So I claimed it.

It replaced my ship. Deleted my inventory. Removed everything. All tech, all items. Gone. I tried to restore my save, no luck.

I'm so annoyed, I'm actually thinking about uninstalling the game...

The more I think about it the more silly/not silly it gets. Am I alone in my 'save the made-up galaxy environment?'

Apologies if there's a guide somewhere , been googling for "mining outpost help" and have turned up nothing [Question]

Hey all. Played from launch til 2019ish. Just got back into it. Used to have some serious activated indium farms (used to be more lucrative ). I had some questions about the configuration.

I have a gold farm now, have electromagnetic power feeding the extractors. I connected each extractor to two supply depots... But only one supply depot per extractor fills up. . Should I connect it differently like extractor to Depot to Depot to Depot and so on? Or take 3 supply lines from the extractor, each to a depot (current, non working config)? If there's a comprehensive guide I'd love to check it out.

Thanks in advance !

My underwater base [Screenshot]

Hi!
This is my underwater base :)

It's about 1000 u deep in the ocean floor, on a waterlocked planet.

I had to make 8 deepwater chambers connected via short range teleporters to reach the sea level. I didn't know you could glitch-connect many teleporters together so I just put them close to each other.

Things that would be nice QOL [Suggestion]

Request System Map & Discovery Tab gives the guild like it gives the region and race... yes, it is one guild per region, but my welfare does not have that kind of storage space (and I hate paper)

Request that the quicksilver vendor at anomoly carry the mercenaries, merchants, explorer guild tag decal like it carries the korvax, vykeen, gek decals (or is it hologram?) - Mainly for the benefit of those visiting players bases

Request that the base plans vendor at anomoly carry the mercenaries, merchants, explorer guild tag like it carries the korvax, vykeen, gek wall signs, banners, and flags - Mainly for the benefit of those visiting players bases

(Not as doable... similar does not exist) Request a base wall display or hologram that automatically displays the system, guild, race - Mainly for the benefit of those visiting players bases

Request that the black base landing pad have added the same Starship Scrapping and Starship Fabbing Facilities added as the Settlement landing Pads (perhaps through a similar upgrade process as for settlement landing pads).. this would create a reason to build this apparently unsnappable landing pad

Request ability to add slots to Exocraft (i hate hate hate the gaps in the inventory slots.. why?) Or at least group them together... rusted metal, ferrite dust, pure ferrite, and magnetized ferrite are on every suit and craft so I never run out, and have to stop building...

Request toggle setting the last stack of a materiel in an inventory tab (exosuit, starship, exocraft, core, 0,1,2,3,4,5 6,7,8,9) not drop below 1 (through construction)

Request toggle setting that starts a new stack adjacent to same material instead of in container 0 when things are quick moved to storage and exceed existing stacks

Request that food materials always have the quick move to ingredient storage if within a set distance or base of a deployed...

Pirate Freighter Question [Question]

Hi!, I've been watching tutorial videos on how to get it, but they say you have to play for over an hour continuously for it to appear. I tried to do all the steps, but I didn't meet the time limit, and it never appeared. Is there any other way to get it? I should clarify that I'm doing it within that time because I play from GeForceNow and only have an hour available per game session. Is there also a way for another player to swap it?

Explorer Type Ship Maneuverability Upgrade Tests [Discussion]

What does everyone think about upgrading your maneuverability. User Drastic Ornithopter said he discovered the game has hidden speed limit. So I tried out the same ship with 1,300 maneuverability and with 2,300 maneuverability, looking at both flight speed and turning while boosting. He appears to be correct. There was essentially no difference in speed between 1,300 maneuverability and 2,300. And the turning difference appeared to be almost negligible.

How do you guys place your Pulse upgrades? What maneuverability do you like to run? What type of ship do you use?

Here are some angles inside of a black hole: [Screenshot]

So how did I do this? Not really surprising or anything crazy you just prepare yourself to click on the photo mode and right as you enter a black hole, you’re gonna get into photo mode. Only problem is, you have to know the keybinds of the photo mode. The UI doesn’t show up so you have to use your knowledge of buttons to control it. But yeah, now you know what the tube actually looks like (There aren’t much photos I took. Only these 2. Its bc I just didnt find it interesting enough to take more. But enjoy the new fun fact that will never be something that could help you. You’re welcome).

No Man's Sky PC questions. [Question]

I been a gamer since 1996. I'm 34yo, but I can't seem to figure out what the actual heck I'm doing on No Man's Sky.

Is there not a way to change to in flight controls? I don't want my mouse to control left and right movements. I want W and D to turn me left and right. Not to roll the ship. Also. Are you not able to change controller button layouts if I decide to use a controller instead? The default sprint button in literally R3 on controller. Lmao.

Why can't I seem the go into third person mode while in ship? My flight experience in this game is absolutely god awful when using mouse and keyboard.

This is 100% a skill issue. I'm coming from the buggy af game Star Citizen. Controls on that seem much easier honestly.

Also, is this game online by default? When u pause the game my character actually pauses, the game freezes in time and everything stops. Normally online games continue to play in the back ground when paused. Due to this is seems like my game is offline.

Thanks and sorry if I sound like a baby. I just figured after hearing how amazing the game is these days and everything that it'd be a little more welcoming control and UI wise.

Thanks guys!

Just wondering how this makes sense: Artemis questline - The First Traveller [Question]

I remember when I first met Artemis at the holo-terminal. The planet it was on was one Artemis had supposedly visited in the past (my details on the story might be fuzzy), so I called the planet Artemis II. Ā Since starting this quest, I took a break and focused on building a base on a moon in another star system.

Later on, I eventually built the Mind Ark for the quest. The next step in the quest is "Find Artemis at the holo-terminus", but the quest marker is on the moon that I built my new base, not on Artemis II like I Expected.

Isn't that a bit strange? I thought the Holo terminus on Artemis II was essentially where Artemis is technically... "located" I suppose? Ā I know "located" isn't the right word, but I thought it was the only spot to talk to him. Ā Now he's coincidentally on a moon that I just so happened to choose for my base. Ā If I was on another planet at the time I had built the Mind Ark, will the quest marker have been on that planet instead?

What would be wrong with planets orbiting stars and spinning? [Discussion]

I looked up why they didn't do that, and it said it would make the game more difficult. People on Reddit said that too. I don't really see how it would make much of a difference. The trip to another planet may be longer sometimes, and the routes would change each time, but that doesn't seem like a big deal

#

What even is the point of building multiple bases, other than cosmetics? [Discussion]

Ive recently started playing NMS again and I find myself constantly lamenting the fact that basebuilding feels so pointless.

The building system is very flexible and has a lot of decorational pieces... yet it has comparatively few functional/interactable base pieces; so much so that it feels like a waste of time to spend time building a base that you actually want to spend time in, since no matter what you build, all it generally amounts to is placing some eye candy around a bunch of refiners, a teleporter, and a row of storage vaults.

It feels like such a waste, because if they wanted to, they could have made the basebuilding more crucial to exploration by making certain resources harder to find, and requiring more of them to get certain high-level upgrades, forcing the player to maintain mining/harvesting operations on different planets in order to get large amounts of resources.

Imagine that you have to periodically check in on your mining operation on one planet (due to it being particularly rich in uranium deposits), load up your hauler with raw uranium, and bring it to your enrichment/refining operation on an entirely different planet. Devs could have made it so that building a refinery on certain planets rather than others could result in either a reduction or a bonus of 5-25% to the overall yield or refining speed, depending on the molecular makeup and particular hazards of that planet's atmosphere.

They could have also made it so that higher gravity planets and planets with heavy environmental hazards/storms would produce more wear and tear on structures and industrial machinery, causing it to break down and require more frequent repairs, and have that be a trade-off to weigh against certain benefits that same planet might provide. They have trade routes in the game; why not allow us to hire a pilot to carry out...

Has Hello Games Given Up on Ships? [Question]

Has Hello Games Given Up on Ships?

Most ships in No Man’s Sky just feel old, clunky, and uninspired. I honestly think Hello Games has almost completely neglected ships and their role in the game.

They seem to do the bare minimum when it comes to ship design and variety - even with sentinels. Every now and then they throw us a bone — usually tied to an expedition reward — and it just reminds me of how good ships could be if they really wanted to expand on it.

But instead, we’re left with: The third paint palette bug that's been broken for years The Solar ship paint set glitch still not fixed Very basic styles Basic customization

I get that they've been focused on planets, freighters, stations — and sure, all of that has improved a ton. But I’m starting to think they don't even consider spaceships that essential anymore, which is crazy. The first thing you do in the game is find your ship. And I’m still, years later, trying to find one I actually like.

I love No Man’s Sky, but come on HG — ships deserve better.

Accidentally sold my best ship for a crafted one [Question]

My main ship I fly around a lot, because its my best and favorite one.

When I created my ship, I knew I had space for a ship so when I was prompted to "swap" or "finalize" and it it to my collection, I thought the swap feature would just put my currently active ship into the collection and make my new one active.

I didn't think much of it and decided to try it out in a mission.

Had my fun but my other ship was way better (and had so much built on it already and stuff from my inventory). Went to go get my main ship and I see it's gone.

Is there a way I can get my ship back? I can't reload a save because of the time spent on a mission...

Living Ship Eggs Can Be a Curse [Bug]

Recently I was gifted 10 living ship eggs while in the anomaly. I immediately completed the missions and hunted for a few living ships. I stashed away about 7 of them with the intention of using them at a later time. I realized pretty quick that every time I would engage my pulse drive I was prompted to hatch an egg. Even if I used an anomaly detector it would still give me a prompt to hatch the egg. I thought, ok I’ll stash it in a storage container. Nope, I still get prompted but the button for the egg would be greyed out. So now I was getting asked to hatch the egg but there no way to even select it. It didn’t matter where I stored them, storage container, in my freighter, it didn’t matter. Every time I would engage my pulse drive, I would get asked to hatch that damn egg. I eventually broke down and went to the anomaly and gave my remaining living ship eggs to another player. I later realized I didn’t just give them away, I just passed on the curse. Not sure if this is a bug or a feature.

What are the rules for component damage in combat? [Question]

I assumed that components are only damaged during combat if your shield is down. This is apparently not correct, because many times, I'll be fighting sentinels, and with my shields still at 30% or higher, I'll get a notification that the Sentinels have damaged a component. Once, they even damaged my shield while it was at 50%, causing my shield to simply not function and leaving me with no shield.

Raid a Capital Ship Bounty Mission [Discussion]

Interesting side effect while working on a bounty mission for the bounty master. After finding and attacking the freighter specified, I flew my ship too close to the hangar and entered the freighter. Figured while there I might as well check out their base to see if any NipNip to snag. Got a message my life support was at 50%, so figured I forgot to recharge after leaving the planet I was on. Nope, they vented the ship, so no oxygen and almost no jetpack, just bunny hops. Headed back to my ship just as one of the civilian ships flew in while firing at me. Barely made it back to my ship with no oxygen in the tank and little health. Needless to say, I sank that freighter and their friends.

Anyone else experience this? I've never tried landing on a freighter I was attacking before, so an interesting experience. Tried repeating with another Raid a Capital Ship bounty to get a screenshot of the civilian ship firing, but that time the civilians just landed to trade.

Can't shake sentinels anymore? [Bug]

TL;DR: Maximum Sentinel Aggression wherever we go. What now?

After some years of playing I descided to revisit once more and convinced a friend to join. I don't remember half the mechanics, but I remeberred the game as chill, which is what we are looking for. My friend wants a to build himself a pretty base, so went looking for a nice planet and not for long I found a bunch of paradise planets and similar.

Now every time my friend lands on a planet all hell breaks loose. Sentinels spawn everywhere and they. do. not. let. up. We tried hiding: Countdown wouldn't start, even after ~3to5 min. I turned around and fought the sentinels, believing that after the large walker spawn they would seize. They did not, more waves kept coming. I double checked the Planat's data: No Sentinal Icon, Detials say: Irregular Patrols. We took off, pulsed away. No countdown, still coming. We fled to my freighter and warped out. As soon as we departed from the hangar ... they attacked immediately.

We're at the second evening of gaming and this does not end. I started a game by myself and it was fine. So I convinced my friend to give it another shot yesterday. But as soon as we landed on a planet, same thing startet over. Second evening in a row. It's gotta be connected to my friend somehow.

I'm at a loss what to do. I think it's bugged, but I'm rusty on the game.

Runaway Mold Collection… finding efficiency. (SR-Teleport collection) [Information]

I’ve been seeing a lot of post about runaways lately. This is a Beta idea for mold collection. I have a few ideas that I’m going to incorporate on a later designs. I’m sure someone out there has used SR-teleporters for runaway, but I haven’t seen a working model of it.

This is the bougie-est collection set up ever haha. Shoot, roll, teleport, mine. All while being protected by the weather!!!

Couple things I would change on this. Instead of shooting mold from above the mold at the top of the hill, I was thinking a tower at the bottom of the hill. So you hit the lower molds first. This would help the bunch up at the bottom of the funnel. When you hit ā€˜em from the back…(aye! šŸ˜)… they catch on each other and sometimes clump up at the bottom. I would also change the end of the funnel from a slanted floor piece, to a hole with the teleporter at the bottom of the hole.

On the receiving end. I used the stairs to create the angle of the ramp, but I was thinking of using a vertical shoot. Stack them on top of each other in a shoot. Then mine the bottom mold and the next on falls in into place. Like a gun clip!

I just need to add a teleporting loop for respawn.

This isn’t the biggest deposits of mold, but for your 15+ of RM, this could be very useful.

Found this really weird planet! [Screenshot]

I'm brand new to the game (about 12 hours played total) and I didn't know planets could get so weird! All these rocks look the exact same as the one and only fauna here, the only flora is just these rocks stacked on top of eachother (there's one in the background) no clue what the floating purple things are either I can't scan them

I've named it Bonesby since it looks like this planets purely a graveyard which is kinda cool :)

PSVR2 visual issues [Question]

Hi!

Just bought my first VR headset and picked up NMS. Im on PS5 Pro.

I noticed a few issues and not sure if its hw related or the game as I did not find discussions about them.

Sometimes I can see black square lines in dimly lit environments. FPS can be really bad depending on the planet.

And there are massive black spots sometimes when traveling with hyper drive.

Are these known issues? Any resolution to these or just wait for patch

Edit: I also have a 4090 PC. Should I switch to that? Did not buy the adapter yet

Picking the game back up. [Question]

So being such an overwhelming game, any advice on a newish player about getting back into the game after being away for a while?

I’ve done some expeditions, but I’m currently trying the atlas quest line and I’m currently just warping to systems to talk to the atlas and it seems unfulfilling.

Would the Apollo quests been more enjoyable? I haven’t quite figured out the play loop but I want to dive back in.

What is a Strange World? [Question]

So my Overseer wants photos from around the universe, but what constitutes a Strange world? Seen several odd ones but they dont trigger the return.

Can I scan from the galaxy map?

Bugs, bugs, bugs [Bug]

So anyway, remembered all the noise about NMS about ten years ago and realised my Mac would actually run it so bought it after a big work project. Okay, kind of looks...pretty? But so far it's been about 10% gameplay and about 90% trying to fix mission bugs.

So many bugs.
