The hunt for an S class freighter [Question]

This post is basically just ti make sure im being as efficient as possible. I followed a youtube guide to find the freighter I want (white venerator) however in thr video his was always the color he wanted and mine keeps varying with 98 percent being black or Grey.

Right now im just warping in killing the pirates checking class and bailing.

Ive had no luck only A class and not in the color I wanted. The video I watched he went into the space station amd saved and when he left the event wasnt happened but ther freighter was still there. I did that and the frieghter was gone.

Anyway any help to make this process easier would be great. Im thinking my fate is in the hands of the RNG gods. However unforgiving they may be.

PSA to newer players, turn off item loss on death [Suggestion]

This game has a fun feature where if you tp off-planet, any existing grave will disappear including all of your hard-found high-tier resources. It doesn't do a great job of warning you that you will lose all of said gear either.
Hello Games please just make it so the grave becomes a quest for the log so that it doesn't slip out of existence the moment you leave the planet!!!

Unable to Drive Corvette :( [Bug]

I summoned my corvette while I was on foot on a planet and I couldn’t drive it. I boarded it but was never prompted to press E (on PC) and enter drive mode. I was in combat too so I couldn’t summon a different ship.

This, on top off all of the other bugs, is such a disappointment. They’re basically unusable in their current state. Hopefully the bugs will be mostly patched in the coming weeks/months.

Another Constellation [Ship Builds]

Thanks to InsultMyAss for the body design, I didn't think to use wing parts to make her look slimmer. Redid interior, front, and a bit or artistic liberty with the nacelles. Unfortunately the "wings" going down the sides take up effect slots (4 wing efffects total -_-' ), so I have to use a mod for more effects to make the VTOL effects work

Base extension not working! [Bug]

Hello guys, is anyone here having difficulty extending the base? I'm simply no longer able to extend the bases to add power. Another problem I had was not being able to install it.A base on a planet, when I press to build nothing appears to build...is anyone else experiencing this?

Anyone on Steam having issues? [Discussion]

So I just got my computer back after a month waiting for it to go to Buffalo NY to get repaired, they didn't put WIFI drivers back on it so I had to wait to get that figured out just earlier today I finally got back into NMS and it is crashing so much I cant even hardly get in the game.

Are any Steam players having a similar issue? I really wanted to build a ship but I might have to send it out for repairs again.. not looking forward to it but if it finally starts working for me then I'll get it done..

Also I've made sure my graphic drivers were up to date so that shouldn't be the issue. Any and all suggestions/recommendations welcome

I need help!!! [Question]

So I'm new. Like 45 hours new to No Man's Sky. I absolutely love the game, and I happened upon a pirate freighter. Big win. In love. All mine.

But I'm building a base inside, and the rooms all seem... claustrophobic? I can't seem to find any information on how to make them not so small. I've read online about legacy content (im too new) and building multiple of the same room together (it just adds more of what I had already placed or puts a door between them).

This is bothering the absolute heck out of me. I've been trying to expand my teleport room for like an hour now and I'm beginning to fear I'm stuck with this little 1x1 warp room. Any help is greatly appreciated.

#

So here is a heads up. [Bug]

For absolutely no reason at all my entire long of planetary wonders, fauna, flora, and personal records are suddenly gone. So keep an eye on them!

Glitch Building: Is It Why "Standard" Players Are Missing Out? 🤔 [Question]

Hey Travelers, I’ve been thinking about the creations I see from glitch builders. While I love the creativity, I've started to wonder if this has an unintended consequence for those of us who don't glitch build.( No judgement by the way I personally just never got the hang of it). My theory is that the developers at Hello Games may look at what the glitch-building community is doing and think, "Well, they've found a way to achieve that, so we don't need to add it as a formal feature." For example, they've figured out how to place parts in complex, non-standard ways. Perhaps this makes the devs feel there's no urgent need to improve the base-building UI or add more flexible placement options for all players. This mindset, if it exists, would mean that it's holding back official, quality-of-life improvements for everyone else. It's like the developers are relying on a complex, unofficial workaround instead of implementing a proper solution. As a player who doesn't use glitch building, I feel like I'm missing out on tools and features that the community has already "created" for themselves. It feels like we're being left behind because the most creative players found their own way around the limitations. What are your thoughts? Do you think the devs see glitch building as a workaround that removes the need for official features? Or am I completely off base?

My corvette is missing [Bug]

My corvette was nowhere to be seen when I logged on NMS.

I initially logged on and was spawned in at one of my planetary settlements, and when I walked out to go to my corvette, it was invisible, but it's marker was still there. I went near it, and it's inventory was accessible, but all the technology slots where the building components go were empty. I tried summoning it elsewhere just nearby on the surface, but it didn't have enough fuel in its launch thrusters. I tried reloading my game, but that didn't work either.

I decided to summon one of my non-corvette starship nearby so I could head to my freighter and summon it there. I flew to my freighter only to find out that my corvette was missing from my 'docked ships' list. I then went to the nearby space station and tried the same thing, but no luck. Even the corvette terminals aboard the space station don't have it listed.

I'm worried my corvette is permanently gone and irretrievable. I put a lot of creativity and effort into it, and it was also my first offical corvette I made.

Can anyone please help? Thanks.

Planetary Wars [Suggestion]

Hear me out 👀

What if No Man’s Sky added a new mode/galaxy focused on faction wars? • Imagine a galaxy with limited star systems that factions can claim and control. • Within each system, maybe 3–5 planets exist — and each planet can be built on, fortified, or defended by the controlling faction. • Factions could form alliances or declare war. • Wars would give you the chance to take over entire planets or even whole systems. • Picture full-on planetary ground assaults, orbital space battles, and 24/7 sieges until the last base is destroyed.

It would create a living, dynamic warzone inside the NMS universe where players shape the outcome.

Help me reach this to the devs! 🚀

What is this icon? [Question]

My partner and I haven't built anything at this point. it appears to be a Base Icon, maybe "Base in progress" or something, but it leads to an empty space on another planet. The label doesn't say the name of the base or anything, it says my partner's username and "OFF PLANET." They were never at this location; they were still in my server and actively on a separate planet than the icon.

Stuck in another players base. [Bug]

When I left the space station I went to use the auto Nav. Well it bugged out and got stuck saying proximity alert to close to station. Well okay fine. I went back into the station to fix it. No go. Okay so I took off to the closest planet. Landed next to a base. Whatever intelligence guides this game decided to be funny and land the corvette directly into the base. Of course the game glitches and was showing the underworld. I tried to take off that didn't work. So I exit the pilot seat and I can't get out. There's not enough space between the hatch and the ceiling of the base.

Expedition land on the derelict freighter [Question]

I land on the freighter, use the red button to go inside the freighter. Walk around. Talk to everyone. No one does anything. I interact with the consoles. Nothing. The only thing I can do is talk to the captain. Let’s me buy the ship. I don’t want it. But the mission doesn’t move on. It still says land on the derelict freighter. What am I missing or not doing right?

I'm finally building a proper freighter Base...sort of [Screenshot]

The Corvette update got me to log back in for the first time a while and has sent me down a huge rabbit hole. It started with building a Corvette and somehow devolved to swapping out my fully upgraded freighter for a new one, and I decided to try to build a real base instead of just a hallway with storage containers.

And now we are here, and I don't even have a Corvette yet.

How to fix variety [Discussion]

Allow players to upload their corvettes and bases to HG servers and add them to the games procedural generation pool and populate the universe based on those plans

The creativity of this sub with base building and now the Corvette update has been amazing, now imagine seeing some of those builds in the wild, piloted by other npcs or crashed/derelict and encountering wonderful bases and settlements based on players creative designs

You can never truly make the quintillions of planets and immensity of space feel unique with just 10-20 people working on the game

But if HG developed tech that allowed player creations to be used by the game itself it'd increase variety ten fold, and it would only get more unique as they expand on that the underlying systems of the game

HG has the opportunity to do something really crazy with this game if they could implement a system like this, just look at how Bethesdas games have evolved with the modding communities

A Simple Freight Corvette for Hauling and Exploration [Ship Builds]

I built this Corvette in Survival mode (Hardcore difficulty), gave it a functional interior and some internal design. It's not intended for combat, but rather just for flying and hauling cargo. Up to 8 additional Travellers can board the ship, besides the commander. The Corvette is also equipped with cargo containers, allowing for constant access to resources.

Flora & Fauna Should Be the Next Big Focus for No Man’s Sky (and Light No Fire) Pt. 2 [Suggestion]

In my previous post, I talked about how Hello Games’ updates for No Man’s Sky seem to double as groundwork for their upcoming project Light No Fire. No Man’s Sky has grown into one of the best survival games out there, but I think future expansions could push it further—particularly by deepening flora and fauna systems. For this post, I want to list out a few features I’d love to see in an expansion (In order of photos): Dynamic Wildlife Interactions: Creatures can hunt, compete, or cooperate with each other, creating a more lifelike ecosystem. Wildlife and Habitat Dynamics: Animals interact with their surroundings—climbing trees, grazing on plants, and showing unique behaviors per species. Fauna Territories: Certain creatures claim areas as their own, defending them from players or rival species. Flora Territories: Specific regions are dominated by certain plant species, with different areas featuring distinct flora. Wildlife Social Structures: Species can either live as solitary creatures or form packs with cooperative behaviors. Fauna Breeding System: Players can selectively breed creatures for traits, utility, or companionship. Flora Gene Splicing: Plants can be crossbred or modified to create new species with unique effects or resources. Automated Fauna Farms: Planet-based systems that gather materials from creatures. Automated Flora Farms: Planet-based systems that gather materials from plants. "Apex Predators": Unique boss-like creatures that appear only on the highest classification of fauna/flora for planets, with one each for land, air, and sea. Planetary Hazardous Flora: A massive, energy-draining plant found only on certain barren worlds—though not every barren world has one.

Fixed ish: Stuck in another players base [Bug]

Stuck in another players base.

When I left the space station I went to use the auto Nav. Well it bugged out and got stuck saying proximity alert to close to station. Well okay fine. I went back into the station to fix it. No go. Okay so I took off to the closest planet. Landed next to a base. Whatever intelligence guides this game decided to be funny and land the corvette directly into the base.

Anyone else having issues with items disappearing from crafting stations in your Corvette after a warp? Is this a bug or deliberate design?

I was crafting some fungal moulds in my nutrient processors, and everything disappeared after I warped to another system. Then, I checked the refiner and the carbon I had there as fuel was gone as well.

Massive performance drops after an hour or so of playing. [Bug]

I have this issue, where after playing for an hour or so, when I land on a station, the FPS is fine on my corvette, usually around 120-150 FPS. But the second I step out of my ship onto the station, my fps plummets to around 10-15 and the game remains unplayable after that. I'm assuming it's a memory leak.

Also, my hardware context:
RX 6750 XT

32 GB RAM 3200MT/s

Ryzen 7 5800x

Game is on SSD

Can/SHOULD a brand new player do the expedition? [Question]

I'm a new player with only about 5 hours of time and experience. I'm just now getting to the multiplayer hub area where I found the console for expedition selection.

I'm a little confused on how it works. It sounds like I'm going to start over. I also see see the Corvette consoles that I can interact with in my single player game when I'm in the stations.

Do I have to click start/join expedition or can I do it from my current game? What all is affected. I mostly play single player due to bad internet connection.

I hate to miss it since it's only 5 weeks, but maybe I should focus on my main game since I'm new?

NMS on PC not detecting my controller at all since Voyagers update [Bug]

Ever since the last update, NMS hasn't been able to detect my Xbox one controller at all. I've seen a few people reporting similar issues when I looked it up, but in those cases, their controllers were detected but not all of the inputs worked (e.g. the buttons worked but not the analog sticks), but mine isn't being detected what-so-ever, I have no input with the controller and on the main menu screen, I'm still getting the input promts for keyboard/mouse. I've checked and it's only NMS, steam in big picture mode still responds, other games through steam and the xbox PC app still responds, and the Xbox accessories app still responds as usual.

What I've tried already: turning my PC off and on again - worked once, but haven't managed to get it to work since. telling my PC to forget the controller and re-connecting it - no change using wired and wireless connection - no change A different Xbox controller (both wired and wireless) - no change updating drivers/firmware for the controllers - no change enabling/disabling steam controller input. - no change setting the override for NMS in the properties to all three options (default, enable steam input, disable steam input) - no change verifying NMS game files through steam - nothing came up as missing or needing attention uninstalling/reinstalling NMS - this actually worked at first, but the issue came back the next time I started the game. deleting the .MXML files in the "steamapps\No Man's Sky\binaries\settings" folder - this also worked once, specifically, it was deleting TKGRAPHICSSETTINGS.MXML that fixed it, but after re-applying my usual graphics settings and restarting the game again, it stopped working. If I close and open the game without changing anything, it continues to work but if I make any changes to the graphics settings at all, it breaks again. I have no idea why this seems to be the cause...

Keep Corvette after Expedition [Question]

Hi Folks,

Tried to get an answer in megathread, but no luck, so asking here. I'm playing from a save game, and started the expedition from the anomaly. When I complete the expedition and return to the anomaly, do i get to keep the ship?

Thanks so much!!

PS. I am absolutely BLOWN AWAY by some of these corvettes! I can't imagine HG could have hoped for a better reaction. You guys and gals are AMAZING!!!

EDIT: hey since they're testing alot of the tech for Light No Fire, I wonder if we'll get customizable "corvettes" in LNF :D --like, airships or something

Corvette Docking Bug [Bug]

Hi all,

I’m really really new to the game and Reddit in general. I have been having an issue where my corvette can’t dock anywhere other than space stations and the anomaly station. if I try to dock on a freighter or the other weird red space stations that I can’t remember the name of it gets stuck outside and I can’t get in and end floating around in space after falling through the ground.

Anyone have experience with this? Tips?

Is the steam deck a good alternative seeing as us on the switch 2 have been jettisoned into the abyss of deep space? [Question]

I’m seriously considering biting the bullet on this one and just doing it. I feel a personal affront and I’ve been abandoned by Nintendo (I know it’s not Hello’s fault). I’ve got like a gajillion hours on this game and I’ve had issues with cross saving and what not and I’m just kind of over it. Most of the games I play now are indie cross platform anyways. Is it worth making the jump?

#

Dihydrogen Meta [Information]

I've found the best method of mass dihydrogen collection, since rarely do vendors sell jelly I find. Visit a pirate system space station and purchase it at the onsite contraband agent, this will net 100-500 pieces. Every pirate system I've seen sells it.

Now warp via portal to a new pirate system and repeat. I recommend stringing together 3-4 pirate stations (like a trade loop) as once you come back to the first, its inventory will have reset. An alternative is waiting around at the same pirate station, as their inventory will likewise refill onsite: this will net less per hour. This can net tens of thousands an hour and fuel your freighters for weeks.

I found out this strat while nanite scamming some X-Class modules. This can be used in conjuction with farming X-Class modules without taking any more time.

"The Vagabond" Science Vessel [Ship Builds]

I posted a ship with this name before; it has since been completely stripped down and rebuilt from the ground up. Theme is science vessel (which can defend itself). Ambassador cockpit is IMO the ugliest one, but the completely open field of view is absolutely the best, particularly if you're trying to go "science ship" theme. (If you don't know, you can free look around while flying ships--hold Alt key on PC--and this cockpit enables you to look directly up and down with nothing blocking you.)

I went for a lot of windows where possible + a ton of antennae and radar etc. for the science theme. It has a laboratory room with samples and a lab bench; tons of specimen growing jars/containers and odd critter samples; grow walls for those interesting alien flora; a small observation deck behind the cockpit with a work desk + monitors; a cushy captain's quarters (that me!!!) with a custom-made green wall; a mess hall/galley/kitchen if we're not being fancy, with eating at a bar-type setup; various storage rooms I've added a lot more storage and samples to (including a custom grow setup with more plant samples and a section for rock & bone samples); a refiner room; a crew outfitting room with lockers, an ammo crate & weapons rack; a mission room with more monitors; and a custom office with a viewing window.

I'll probably make another version of this ship later and go for a smoother/sleeker/hover theme in white: this one's very pointy and stainless steel color and it didn't come out as sleek as I'd hoped, but for now I am enjoying it.

I have sideways entry ramps! Difficult and janky 1st attempt. [Ship Builds]

I laid down 6 1x1 habs, then I put a storage pod ( the one that looks like a tire on top of the center one. Then I closed out the design in the ship builder. In the ship customization menu, in 1st person and in free placement mode I placed a window against the wheel facing in the direction I wanted the hab to face... It was not a perfectly even fit... There are a few videos showing how they built the crazy UFOs on youtube.

Sideways habs DO NOT connect with regular facing habs.

Also you can build a sideways ship with a sideways cockpit and it flys sideways...

COLOR CORRECTION FILTER ruining the Armorer pirate mission, cannot progress [Bug]

Doing the quest for my armorer in my base and he wants me to kill a pirate captain. Problem is, the planet I'm on has a deep purple color that extends quite far into space. The pirate keeps spawning near other friendly vykeen NPC ships but I can't tell which one is friendly and which ones are pirates. It seems like there are multiple pirates fighting each other but it's hard to tell.

I spent like... 6 minutes trying to kill one ship thinking it was a pirate only to get a wanted level for killing the wrong one. Now when I load my save the marker is there and I can iniate a fight but it's still the exact same problem I've had already.

Losing My Mind Over Sentinel Multitool [Question]

Whaaaat is happening?!?

Have you encountered these Bugs on Base PS5? [Bug]

• Hangar Door on the Corvette being open on reload or exiting a warp, sometimes interacting with the hatch button fixes it other times it does not.

• Several planets having weird glitches when looking at clouds when piloting the Corvette like a "Player Hud" is Ghosting but worse.

• Undiscovered planets in the Discoveries menu having glitched artifacts over the artwork.

• 1x1 Titan Hab Corvette Module having a missing wall in the interior of the Corvette.

• When Corvette is idle on a planet either hovering or landed on water via "Aqua Jets" traversing the outside of the Corvettes Exterior sometimes keeps the player from jetpacking from lower layers of the Corvette to higher layers via invisible wall or "rubber banding".

These are just a few things I've noticed in the last few days of playing NMS. The artifacting in the clouds made me think my PS5 is dying so I am hoping I am not the only one who saw this glitch.

Where Did My Muti-Tool Go? [Question]

First time player here. I bought a new multi-tool, and chose the Purchase, not the Exchange, option. It says that the new one will be “added to my collection” but my original, along with all the upgrades, seems to be gone. Only the new one is there.

Multiple corvettes [Question]

Is it possible to build multiple corvettes? I once tried and ended up in both the old and new one being deleted along with ALL THEIR MODULES.

I was pretty sad about it.

It would be nice to have this feature. Also, it would be nice to re-use modules, like I have one copy of a specific reactor and be able to use on both of the corvettes. When I tried to build the second one seemed like all the pieces of the first one couldn't be reused on the second and I had to start from scratch with standard ones (ending up in wasting lots of units when I lost both)

What a journey [Screenshot]

I’m a day one player for NMS. Had my off and on play periods but man, how far this game got. I was there and played all the major updates. Each time the experience changed and brought new stuff on the table. But this last update…this is just incredible. I had so much fun, from the expedition to playing and cruising with other players, and even rescued from a stranded planet. To think that this is now possible just blows my mind.

Anyhow, thanks Sean & Hello Games for this awesome experience.

The journey continues ✌️

What is there to do in the game? [Question]

Hello people. First of all, sorry if this has been asked before or if it´s asked a lot here. I´m a Elite Dangerous player (around 400 hours played) and was looking to get into NMS since I´ve heard a lot of good stuff about it, especially with the new update.

I wanted to ask, what is there to do in the game? Honestly, I´m not a huge fan of base building, I like a space game more when I can explore space, complete missions, hear interesting stories, that kinda stuff. Can you play as a bounty hunter? a pirate? a trader? Can you receive missions from npcs? Is there a lot of spaceship combat? Does the game rely too much on planet exploration and base building?

I´m just trying to find out if the game may be for me or not, I know I could watch some youtube vids but I thought asking here was a good idea too. Thanks! o7

So I found out the hard way, don't play multiplayer with your favorite Corvette and do a mission [Bug]

I was playing with my friend and we started a mission from the Corvette mission terminal, we bounced around in our mechs and EXO vehicles.. I summoned my freighter... we completed the mission , and then I noticed when I went to summon my Corvette (that I spent forever making) it was replaced with a C class ship. I've never seen it I haven't bought anything new, it was just randomly replaced because I was using it.

2nd slide is what my Corvette looked like 1st slide is what replaced it for seemingly no reason

Corvette permanently gone :( [Bug]

Traveled into a system, got kicked out into space & my corvette was invisible. Tried summoning it to retrieve me in the depths of space but when it arrived it was completely invisible & I could go straight through where it was meant to be.

Read somewhere that you could put all your other starships into cold storage on a freighter & the corvette would be forced to appear. Tried but I couldn’t put my last ship into storage as I need at least one starship out & it wasn’t the corvette. Tried restarting my game multiple times before that and it changed nothing.

Is it just gone, forever? I spent so much time building it, countless upgrade modules, spent a ton of nanites to get it S class & bought the best upgrades I could for it. Fully kitted it out to be my home in the stars and it’s gone just like that :(

Thanks for reading my rant & I hope this issue gets fixed as fast as possible so this doesn’t happen to other people. I’m sorry for whoever else this has happened too, I feel your pain.

I don’t want to live on this planet anymore! My purist take on the Planet Express Ship (no mods, glitches, or exploits, just pure Corvette editor on PS5) [Ship Builds]

Yes I know the fins are the wrong colour but imo they look better as red than dark green here, and yes the top fin is way too thick but sadly the game doesn’t have any better options. Otherwise I’m quite pleased with it. Managed to cram in a bunch of hidden weapons, shields, and reactor components, and it has a good sized interior with plenty of Cargo space. Major downside for performance is that it’s only got one thruster module but I really didn’t want to change the look by adding more.

Built entirely in the standard Corvette editor on PS5 so no mods, exploits, glitches, or anything “fancy” — any casual player picking up the game could easily build this if they wanted to.

Lost my corvette ending the expedition - work around? [Bug]

  • Started the Voyager expedition from the console on the anomaly, from my main save.

  • Did the expedition, built a corvette, collected a ton of rare parts.

  • Added the max number of parts I could to the corvette, ended the expedition.

  • Copied my corvette for 2800 nanites (the model of it in the copy interface looked correct, but tons of tech modules were missing, only the basics and regular tech modules, no corvette parts visible)

  • The corvette is semi-there. Its name appears on the launchpad and in the edit menu on a space station, but there is no ship, no parts. All the warnings about no landing gear, engines etc. show up.

  • Tried going to different systems, anomaly, stations - always the same, the name is there but zero parts, there is nothing to enter.

I feel kinda ripped off. Spent 2800 nanites on a name, and can't recover any of the work I did. Does anyone have a solution for this bug?

#

Expedition terminal let me copy my Corvette but it's invisible on the main save? [Question]

So yeah, not sure what's up with that. When I was finishing the expedition, there was a "Copy Ship" button. I made a copy, it took about 2500 Nanites for that, I have now a thumbnail for my expedition Corvette in my ship select menu, but it's invisible when I spawn it. When I use the Corvette design terminal - it's invisible as well, as in "no parts selected" invisible. Did I just get scammed? :D

Where's the quicksilver from my expedition, Lebowski? [Question]

I finished my first expedition, did all the phases, collected every reward. I'm pretty sure there was at least some quicksilver for something. I got my units transferred, my nanites too, but no quicksilver. What am I missing here? Was quicksilver a reward only for those optional goals?

Corvette Kidnapping? [Question]

So this was my first time stepping into a corvette. I just wanted to look around and take notes since I was getting ready to start farming for my own parts. While I was exploring, I ran into the captain of the ship. I waved and tried to be polite — because I’ve seen plenty of other videos here where people get “kidnapped” and hauled off unwillingly into space. Everything seemed fine, so I started walking around the corvette.

That’s when I heard the door shut. Not gonna lie, I immediately started panicking — because this is exactly how those guys get snatched up. I went over to the door to open it, fully ready to leave. But… nothing. It wouldn’t budge.

Now, I don’t know if it’s an actual in-game mechanic — like maybe only the pilot can open and close the doors — but man, that door was not coming open. So I did the only thing I could: I logged off.

Were they really trying to kidnap me? I’ll let you guys decide.

Rate my vette! [Screenshot]

Hey! The thing started, when I found how you can create a perfect engine block. Those mecha parts go so well with those extra large thrusters, and then... there is space to hide loads of reactors. No missaligment, just hiding some sheild reactors within reactors. And then: we have 9 large living spaces... I am amazed how it looks and drives.

Playing cross-platform multiplayer [Question]

Hey guys! Just bought this game for myself (PS4) and my son (Nintendo Switch). My goal is that we can play together from time to time on the same planet and ideally do the same missions and build our base together. Since good split screen games are scarce nowadays I figured this would still be a decent setup; sitting in the same couch but on different consoles.

Based on other threads and comments I thought this was possible but I can't seem to find a good guide on how to achieve this.

We bought the games last weekend and we have progressed on our own worlds for now. Is there any way we could play together from the beginning or do we both have to progress individually to unlock this Anomaly-thing you guys are talking about? I also have the option to start in this Expedition thing (looks cool with the Corvette!) but it seems that the Switch don't have that option (yet?).

We both enjoy the game thus far and hope to play for many hours together 🙂

We made a visit to the famous Corvette airport! [Screenshot]

We took our family corvette Shangrila (yes, she's a Roach class by LeJet_518 shipyards) to the famous Corvette Airport and we had a ton of fun. Finding an appropriate docking spot for a corvette of our size took a bit but for an airport that side, it's actually pretty easy to navigate. The entrance halls are all quite clean, no trash or suspicious individuals lounging around.

The photos don't capture the size of the place and we admit to being overwhelmed a bit after entering the airport proper but with our youngest feeling hungry it was an easy decission to visit the local cafe for a quick snack.

Check-in at the hotel was really easy, friendly helpful staff and we got our prefered corner room with a great view of the sunset. The rooms are clean with an elegant modern design and my hubby positively beamed after noticing there was a fully equipped hotel bar to later enjoy some late night whiskey.

After storing our bags we rushed out on the main street ready to enjoy the fresh air after being stuck in starship quaters for so long. The flower/convenience stores are great, although I think the tobacco shop might just be selling some other substances as well. The statue of a harmonica-playing gentleman was really fun as well and our kids each took a selfie with him.

One last thing I have to mention was the lovely restaurant we visited for our evening date after we put the kids to sleep. Finding the entrance was a bit confusing (it's to the side) but the look, the ambience and the service was top notch.

Overall a great experience that we'll be happy to repeat in the future. I'm happy to leave a 5* review and I'll be sure to rate it highly on TravelAdvisor and Booking as well.

Wishing you all lovely skies - the Teg...

Trying to find a deep sea planet [Question]

PSA: GOG/Wine gamers on linux: There's no need to run the full galaxy client for NMS multiplayer [Information]

Rather than run the galaxy client, you can instead run /drive_c/ProgramData/GOG.com/Galaxy/redists/GalaxyCommunication.exe

in the same prefix just prior to starting NMS. (I just added it as a new game in lutris and start it immediately before running NMS)

You will still need to run galaxy to update the game or if you want to sync your cloud saves. (you really need to remember to look after/backup your saves if you don't sync regularly)

As an alternative, you can instead start galaxy and then exit from the galaxy menu as it does not terminate the galaxy comms service when it closes, which is how I came to realise I didn't need the client running.

Either way, you will know if it's not working if on loading the game your player name is "Explorer", rather than your gog account name.

Where to find the Armourer [Question]

I know this has already been asked many times but where tf is the armourer or weapon specialist.

I selected the right mission, warped into the system with the corresponding weapon marker and got this exact weapon marker at the entrance of the systems space station.

But when I enter the space station, there is no NPC which offers to be armourer for me. They all just have the default dialog options.

I talked to everybody, warped out, warped back in, nothing. I can't find him.

Is it a bug? Please help :D

System with two black holes? [Screenshot]

In my 7 years of No Man's Sky, I've never seen a system with 2 black holes. But alas, about 939,000 LY from the center of Euclid, here one is! Probably not as uncommon as I think, but I thought it was neat enough to share. Also, did you know there's a limit to how far you can warp? There's about 500 more LY of stars which you can't actually get to before there's just nothingness. Thought it would be cool to go to the outer edge but... guess not. Pretty lame.

Here is the new update on the ship. [Screenshot]

So, thanks to another user i learned how to do the unatached parts, and i have been tinkering with it until i finally understood how to do them and how it actually works. Replaced the thrusters with structural to give it a more sleek look and made 4 thurster units: 2 on the front to stabilize the direction and 2 on the back for potency. I hope this is it, because i only have 5 parts left to reach the limit.

Long story short.

My Corvette somehow lost all Corvette parts and I'm stuck in space [Screenshot]

Somehow my Corvette lost all Corvette parts while logging into the game. I have a ship, but it has no body. (See last screenshot).

I'm floating somewhere in space and can't do anything, because if I call my Corvette to pick me up, it just spawns in front of me and there is nothing except the markter (see image 2).

Inspired by the Imperial Clipper & Cutter from Elite [Ship Builds]

Used some offset building techniques for getting the wings and the front into position, no other glitches were used. The ship has more than enough room for all internal modules and some extra for decoration.

The front is not quite there yet, would love to bring it more in line with the Elite ships, but with the parts and cockpits we have now that is quite hard to do.

First time Expedition players, don't do what I did [Suggestion]

An important thing you should do is to fully read all of the rewards and requirements for each mission at every level before doing anything. I keep messing up because I'm trying to save my inventory slot upgrades for my main save ship/exosuit, so I have to sell stuff. Some of the rewards are meaningless things you can sell, but some are necessary for future missions and if you sell them you then have to go farm them to complete the later missions which can add significantly to the workload. I'm now 3 missions away from completion, but I can't install my pirate system scanner because I foolishly sold my walker brain, which means now I have to fight a ton of sentinels to get a new one and my multitool isn't strong enough to get through wave 3 (walkers don't show up until wave 5). Thanks to this kind of thing happening multiple times I've sunk probably 12 hours into this expedition having to do lots of extra farming and hyperspace jumping (which requires extra farming for fuel etc) and I don't think I can finish it. It's been fun but would have been much less frustrating if I'd known which things to save.

Another example: at one point you have to find a harmonic settlement and swap out your multitool for the busted one at the camp. I compared them and preferred keeping the one I already had, not realizing one of the missions in a later phase was to swap for a new one. So then later I had to find another planet with dissonance so I could kill a thing that would drop the echo locator required to find another camp so I could swap multitools. Dummy!

Don't be like me. Don't be a dummy. Read all the fine print.

Struggling to find Salvaged Frigate Modules [Question]

Ive researched high and low, I've checked countless threads on Reddit, the Wiki page, asked other travellers, but I'm still struggling to find Salvaged Frigate Modules. I remember I used to find them in bulk in Crashed Freighters but with the addition of Custom ships, the loot with them is heavily diluted with parts (searched 12 freighters, all 72 cargo boxes, found 1 Module). I've never found one running expeditions, I've found maybe 2 merchant guilds that trade them (and they never reset, its been days), and the Nexus gives me maybe 1 mission with them as a reward every 6/7 missions.

Is there something I'm doing wrong? Maybe I've missed a method, or perhaps they are just incredibly difficult to come by. Any tips? Thanks!

Lost my corvette - and a whole heap of resources. [Bug]

So, somewhat stupidly i decided to go space walking after setting autopilot to continue it's heading. Needless to say, i was left floating in space. No problem, i'll just call it back, so i did and it was ... invisible so i couldn't actually get inside. Then i noticed i wasn't too far away from the space station so i jetpacked my way there, went to the corvette station which showed my ship icon but no ship. Went to edit my corvette, which it allowed but everything was still invisible, so i quit and it told me it had refunded the corvette parts and my corvette no longer existed. It did not actually refund all of the corvette parts as i had to repurchase most of the basic ones. I also lost all the cargo from my corvette - all the resources i had transferred to the corvette to make room for collecting new corvette parts! Biggest loss was all the Pyrite, Uranium and Tritium which is mostly what i've been using for fuel and had gathered over a considerable time but also my entire stacks of other resources were lost too.

Losing the resources sucks but i can replace them eventually and i went ahead and built a new corvette so all good-ish again now. I won't risk space-walk while auto-piloting again, just in case. Just wanted to share my experience, not looking for compensation or anything ;)

Recent Controller Issues [Question]

Has anyone had any issues with controllers not working over the past few days? I've got the game on steam and never normally have controller issues (apart from having to restart the game if my controller wasn't turned on when I started it)

The past 2 days or so my controller has just been intermittently not working when I boot the game up, and I either have to keep rebooting the game, or restarting steam aswell.

It feels like something changed recently, when the controller is working it's fine for the whole session until I quit and reopen later.

My least favorite (so far) corvette build. [Ship Builds]

This was an attempt to make use of a rotation glitch. I made use of the offset glitch as well. The effort to rotate a part by something other than 90 degrees isn’t worth the result for me. I’d have rather have parts with more rotation options be default. Non rectangular box shaped connector parts with snap points on all faces would be great also.

Question on Ship Upgrades [Question]

Hey guys, so I started about a week ago and I’m loving it, I’m already obsessed with trying to get a perfect ship, with that being said there’s some gaps in info I need filled

What are the max stats for hyperdrive upgrades? For example, my best hyperdrive upgrade right now gives me +100% warp cell efficiency and +200 Light Year warp range, but how high does it go? Can I get an upgrade module with +200% warp cell efficiency and +400 warp range? What’s the limit per upgrade?

What about pulse engine upgrades? They’ve underwhelmed me a bit, my best one is currently +19% maneuverability +28% boost and +25% fuel efficiency, how far can these go?

I’d also like to know the same about weapon upgrades, but being that there are different upgrades for different guns that sounds like a lot of effort to ask from a stranger 😆.

Corvettes. [Suggestion]

I would love to see HG implement a save ship feature so you can save your layout and sell it at some trade terminal for credits.

So someone would go to a trade terminal and browse pics of corvettes that other explorers have built. Find a ship layout you like and press buy for however many credits the build is worth and get a screen that has compare ship, then it's just a matter of the regular trade window for ships except the person who made the design gets the credits..

Do you prefer your corvette's hatch to face the fore or the aft? [Discussion]

I've built one each way, and I noticed a couple things:

  1. When summoning the corvette to a planet surface, it will always land with the hatch facing me. With the hatch facing forward, this looks pretty much like summoning any other ship, but with the hatch facing the rear it means the corvette will approach the position flyig fowards, and then execute a sweet little maneuver to swing the aft around 180 degrees before touchdown.

  2. When landing in a space station, the ship will always rotate after landing so that it faces the exit. If the hatch opens to the fore, this means after exiting the ship I have to turn around and walk around it to get to the build terminal or the rest of the station.

Corvette in Creative [Ship Builds]

I don’t know how many people do this, but since the update came out I’ve been going into creative mode to try and concept out my corvette. I’ll have an idea and then put it together in creative mode. Once I land on something I like I’ll take note of all the parts I used and remake it in my main save. It may be common sense, but for anyone who’s struggling coming up with ideas you should try it out!

NMS on Linux [Question]

hey there, is the new update running well on Steam/Proton? I am considering switching my main OS to Debian or Fedora and now have to evaluate if all games that I like run well on Linux. According to the proton database, it should run but I wanted to get some experience from this sub.

Thanks!

Why can't I run VR ? [Question]

Is my PC able to run no man's sky VR?

The issue im having is steam VR is constantly having frame drop issues.

Virtual desktop like when running the game the performance is fine. I'm also playing wireless but I'm not sure if it'll change anything using a cable it only when I enter steam VR and try to use my PC.

Game replaced my ship with my freighter base [Bug]

SPOILER: This happened after doing the reset at the Atlas at the end of The Purge quest.

Is there any way back beyond having already backed up my saves? Could try and build a base here and teleport to station to swap out the ship and see if that does anything but otherwise it doesn't have a cockpit. Can summon it and it will fly in, but it looks like my Starborn Runner is deleted and I would need to restart my whole playthrough to get it back.

Voltaic Staff confusion, trying to build my first one [Question]

I see from wiki I should be able to build Voltaic Staff at Autophage Synthesis Terminals or Harmonic Interfaces using three staff parts; a Head, a Core and a Pole. I also see that sufficient progress must be made in the They Who Returned Autophage questline to craft these staffs or purchase parts.

Is my progress enough/ have I missed something as I only got pistol and ship?

I have gotten this far: I found the Dissonant solar system and moon with dissonance I found and killed Disdonance resonator for a Echo Locator I used Echo locator and found Harmonic camp I solved the math puzzle on Harmonic interface at the camp I deactivated the multitool seal via harmonic interface and took said multitool (pistol) I then used “Locate Dissonance Spikes” on harmonic interface and got the marker for the the crashed sentinel ship I took items from broken sentinel ship and started the ship repars. For that killed another Disdonance resonator for Inverted mirror and gathered crystals for ship repair. I probed the Hyaline Brain that I got from broken sentinel ship, and cleansed brain to Harmonic Brain on Monolith where probing pointed me I repaired the sentinel ship and claimed it

I see from wiki I should have Polyphonic Core for my multitool to locate Autophage Camps but w don’t think I yet have that unless it was on the pistol (I am currently logged off so can’t check that now).

I also see Voltanic staves in nms coorinate exchange, how does that work with staves? To be frank I don’t even remember how exchange works, I remember glyph system and know tgem but for weapons I think it needed to be solo to avoid someone grabbing the item… need to look into it.

So tldr: Is my progress enough or have I missed something on Autophage quest as I only got pistol and ship?

Controller and steam overlay not working after update [Bug]

After the patch I can't get my controller to work with the game anymore. I updated drivers, attempted and failed to activate steam overlay for NMS (it's active, but doesn't work on NMS) and enabling and disabling steam input (neither options do anything). I selected the recommendet controller layout and it doesn't work either. I even unplugged and replugged the controller, first thing I did.

Base Terminus and Ship Landing Pad question [Question]

Hey all,

New to the game. My best friend has played for a while, and really wanted to get back into it with the new update, so I downloaded it too and have been playing a little more than him, so I'm slightly ahead.

As such, I have my Corvette (it's still a bit ugly, but it's getting there) and I've tried setting up a few bases/outposts. I have 3 on one planet and 1 on another so far, and I got the Landing Pad for my base... only I can't seem to land my ship there OR place my ship there using the Call Vehicle button.

Also, when I teleport between the bases (I can't teleport from 1 to another 1, but I can from the other 2 to either of the first two. Guessing they're too close together?) my ship often ends up in the middle of the room with the Base Terminus in it, so I can't move or go out the door unless I manage to clip through the wall or the ship.

I'm wondering... is this just bugged, or are the two related? Do I need to do something specific to use the landing pad? And if I get the landing pad to work, will that then fix the ship-in-middle-of-base problem?

Just so you know, my Corvette is currently 2 Habs long (the double-length ones) and 3 wide, plus wings. I was assuming it was too big to use the landing pad, but I wanted to double check.

Corvette technology slots [Question]

I do apologize if this has been asked before but I tried searching online and couldn't find any kind of answer.

When I build a corvette, is every Hab, reactor, shield item etc supposed to take up a slot in the technology menu? I ask this because its been really incredibly inconsistent as to whether they actually show up or not, and I had my nicely organized technology area shuffled and completely stuffed full when they decided they did want to show up again.

If this is intentional, then I ask why? Because it makes a corvette very unappealing over a standard ship. I haven't got enough slots in the thing to fit all the normal upgrades. It was a real struggle just to fit all the right warp drives to be able to go to every system.

I love the idea of the corvettes, but I'm having trouble understanding this particular piece of the execution.

Decision [Question]

Hi guys. In No Man’s Sky, when you reach the point where you have to choose between the three options — following the galaxy’s path, completing the Atlas quest, or exploring freely — does that choice affect any obtainable rewards or missions?

Question: Why are some planets in the center of the galaxy still not discovered? [Question]

Sorry if this is a dumb question but I'd imagine that people would discover and name the planets around the center of the Euclid Galaxy as it would be a high traffic area. Why am I still finding planets not yet discovered/named? I don't entirely get how the discoveries aspect of the multiplayer works. I mean it shows that the planet I landed was first discovered by me but there are communication beacons and discovered fauna on the planet so someone must have landed there before, so why is not registered to their name?

Corvette parts are invisibe [Bug]

Before the bug, the Corvette parts were located within the red circles.

However, after playing with a friend, I noticed that the parts in those locations had become transparent.

I tested collisions with my character, and it appears that the character collides with the parts in those locations, indicating that the parts are present but cannot be interacted with in any way.

Save-loading also appears to be impossible.
Both auto-save and manual saves are already affected by the bug.

The Game mode progression problem, 160h in I realised this. [Discussion]

Allowing players to freely swap modes on the go seems like a handy thing at first but it sort of undermines the meaning of progression in the long run and to me the magic has faded away now.

When friends can build and hand you anything, accomplishments feel sort of faked.
Ofcourse you could say its a digital game and we fool ourself into thinking we accomplishing things inside a digital world, but having a simple button to switch survival to creative mode and back on the fly feels like its pushing that faked idea too close in our face.

I've seen people talk about this debate before and often those who don't see an issue with this, seem to have a different playstyle. A point that gets made a lot is "But just don't do it whats the issue?" they are technically correct, but this issue is more of a psychological one for those seeking a survival experience. Let me try to explain, when I visit players builds while im playing survival I expect that they too build it all in survival but thats doesn't seem the case in NMS. I kinda like seeing other peoples build and knowing whats possible within my survival world limitations, to then be amazed and inspired by other players. Thats whats fun in survival type games, the frozen limitations and how you work around those. Thats just not here as any base you check out might as wel be build in creative at some point, making the "Awe" effect fade quicker.

You might now think, SOo what... just do what you enjoy and who cares, just have fun!
When we select survival mode we choose for the risk gameplay, the repeated failures, the slowness, the grind here and there, overcoming friction and that effort becomes a thing you are proud of. Its a trick of the mind really! But when you allow to swap to creative with a click of a button and back those things become like a fake illusion especially when you allow us to...

If you want loads of essentially free corvette parts [Discussion]

I figured this out on accident trying to get all my accumulated parts out of the expedition.

Before ending the expedition, install every single one of your pieces you can fit on your corvette. Literally max it out. Prioritize the rarest parts.

End the expedition.

At the terminal you can now make unlimited copies of that loaded up corvette (for 900 nanites each time) with all those pieces on it.

In the build menu, dismantle the copied ship before getting a new one. Do not forget this step.

Takes about an hour to repeat this a dozen times but you’ll have around 1,200 free corvette pieces in the end.

Help with stasis devices [Question]

So I've been following this video "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YhsWg9CVGSk&t=2048s" on how to efficently craft and sell stasis devices and I've got farms up and running for the following materials; Nitrogen, Radon, Sulphrine, Oxygen, Paraffinium, Phosphorus, Dioxite, Uranium, Cobalt, and Pyrite and that's all fine each producing around 12000 every 12 hours but what the youtuber doesn't go over is how to efficiently use (for example) the Dioxite I need to use to dupe the frost crystals while keeping the amount I need for the recipe. I've tried to do a spreadsheet but just can't get it to work with the best input to product ratios. So I wanted to ask if there is already a guide for making stasis devices like this or if someone could help me understand it better? Any help would be really appreciated!

A WEIRD note about Corvette tech slot bonuses. Weird is relative, of course. They are not system or economy dependent for me, but different from other peoples' I have seen online. [Ship Builds]

Everyone should be figuring out that the tech parts of Corvettes which take up slots in your 'vette's technology slots, have a limit of three. Even if you install six.

But they are very specific, for instance, I have maxed out my tech slots with two different reactors. I chose them because of the bonuses, and can't run three of each because I don't have enough tech slots in my maxed-out ship. So I have two different reactors, each having two tech slots, and they have different adjacencies and really I only have two of each. Even though I have four "reactor" tech slots, two and two which do not share adjacency bonuses. Ok. Well and good. Interesting fact

Ok, now the "can I improve stats" part, or rather, the stats numbers in general.

On a strange note, my bonuses are different from other posted bonuses from other people. And I have noticed that whatever planet or system I go to, my first part of any type has the same bonus. Then my second one of that type has a different bonus, but the same on all systems. Then the third one I add has a different bonus, but also the same on all systems I visit to try it in.

Not only that, but if I add the first then the second, then remove the second, and add it again, it is the same bonus. If I add three and remove all three add then re-add them, they are locked to whatever seed I am using right now to make my new corvette, and have the same bonuses. And if I install all three of one type, and try to remove the second one because the bonus isn't as good as the third one-- the new "second" one reverts to my fixed "second-bonus" value, so there is no gaming the system.

The numbers and pdfs and spreadsheets I gathered online to compare to, are now outdated a few patches, but I think...

GD-8 "Swift Enforcer" Medium Size Dropship Corvette [Ship Builds]

Hey guys, If you know me you know I mainly hunt sentinel ships to post on r/NMSCoordinateExchange, however I'm also a pretty big fan of sandbox and open world vehicle building games such as Trailmakers, Simple Planes, Avorion and Flyout.

This is my best corvette build in NMS so far, to some it may be quite vanilla, to others this ship may look very sleek and manoeuvrable. This is an original design (not a replica of any ship), I designed this ship with semi-realistic design elements such as flat bottomed wings (to conform to the Bernoulli's principle), and angular design for optimal aerodynamics. This obviously is cosmetic as NMS does not model drag and pressure differentials, but it gives the sense that this ship is well versed for atmospheric flight. Also, the thruster layout is balanced to roughly line up vertically to the centre of mass of the ship, for optimal stability in space.

The interior layout is meant to be designed as more residential than military, due to the ambassador crew quarters, the lore being that this ship is a decommissioned military craft from the Vykeen war with the sentinels, which has been retrofitted with a civilian style interior for exploration and comfortable living.

Other than that this ship is S-class with a 3+1 supercharge layout with 1800 manoeuvrability, 1750ly hyperdrive range, it is a good balance between aesthetics and functionality, and this is all without using the polo statue and starship trails. So let me know what you guys think about this ship and feel free to share!

Nms vr is my favorite game, i play with the xbox game pass pc app version which allows me to use vr i don’t like playing on console or pc because it just doesnt do it for me I’ve tried everything Hello games never responds or prioritizes vr fixes which leads me to believe something is going on that is just totally out of my skillset range. Troubleshooting is something I struggle with for some reason, I just do not have any luck whatsoever in this area. I’ve preformed a clean uninstall, removed files, cleared shader caches, verified and repaired files in the xbox game pacc pc app, i’ve updated my game AND windows, gone through just about every error fix that google could list and I am still getting this error message. My command prompt says something about “disablemods” but i have never used mods for no mans sky, ever.

The CMS Terra „Loveboat“ Nova takes flight again [Ship Builds]

The Sovereign Colonies mighty Mass Driver Terra Nova takes flight again.

The ship hails from a time before the invention of the ShockPoint-Drives. A time, when traversing the depths of space was only reserved to visionaries, the courageous… and the military.

It used conventional methods of moving heavy cargo and other, smaller ships between star systems. All within her mighty claws

After being lost for 200 years when She embarked on her final Voyage, the lost Expedition to the icy world of Tau Volantis, has been found and is now on her way back to earth.

What wonders might it contain? What did it find on Tau Volantis?

//

I tried very very hard to recreate Dead Space 3s Terra Nova. As I might be one of only two world wide Dead Space 3 fans I just had to try my hand on it. With our current Corvette capabilities I don’t think that the true claws and wings will be possible but for now? This was the best I could do.

Should I restart or keep going on old save? [Question]

I picked the game up again after the new update as I had a few friends pick the game up for the first time as well, and I was wonder if I should start a new save or not?

My old save was last played in 2022 and was a creative mode save as I had just a ton of fun flying around and doing frankly nothing. However, now that I've gone back and started playing again, that save feels a little directionless since it's been a while and is rich as can be cause creative mode. I'm torn on whether I should restart or not as this save has a healthy amount of old unlockables like some helmets that my friends new to the game can't access as well as a bunch of ships I've fallen in love with. I know the ships I can more or less 'rebuild' in a new save, but I'm unsure about the cosmetics and such. I figured it was worth asking what the best course of action would from people more knowledgable about the game than me as maybe there is a way to like soft restart that I don't know of!

Idea for Zoo, Farm, & Companion Storage [Suggestion]

So this is an idea I've had for awhile now and have put a lot of thought into. There was another recent post noting how Pets seem to be forgotten about, and with the wonderful addition that the Voyagers update has brought us, I thought that I could finally share this idea that I believe could uplift an aspect of the game that could use a little more love - Companions & Cooking. This idea essentially would be a way to have a buildable zoo that can also function as a farm for food ingredients for more managable cooking, interactive pet storage, and more convenient methods for pet egg sequencing.

This will be a lengthy post!

This idea revolves around a new category of base parts that are used for enclosure buildings. Fundamental Zoo/Farm Enclosure parts would consist of the following: Main Console/Base Room - roughly the size of 4 cuboid rooms - the absolute smallest size an enclosure can be. Has built-in door that allows you to enter/exit enclosure so you can interact with the creatures. It's Main Console controls the various enclosure settings, and is located near the entrance. 1 per enclosure. (in-depth breakdown of console settings are listed at the bottom, below base part list) Enclosure Room (Ground) - like a cuboid room but has a glass roof and walls with its own ground as its "floor". Connects to the Base Room or other Enclosure Room (Ground) to expand the ground space of an enclosure. Possible Cave room variant for Cavern-dwelling creatures, and eventually Aquarium rooms for if/when we can tame aquatic creatures. Enclosure Room (Glass) - connects to the tops of Base Room, Enclosure Room (Ground), or any side of other Enclosure Room (Glass). Used for increasing vertical space of the enclosure - useful for accommodating large or flying creatures. some players have sequenced the eggs of their companions to make them extremely large. Could add a size scaling...

Man, I just wanted a corvette... [Bug]

I just wanted a quirky corvette. Just wanted to chill in space. I love this game. But now, I can't play it. At all. Why? Because this update broke the physics for me. The stupid air has become invisible walls in my immediate vicinity. I can't fly anywhere. I just bounce off the walls, get dizzy from the tail spin. The walls all have collision. I can't leave my vicinity. And it's centered around the stupid corvette. I first got stuck on a planet. So I make a base called exit plan. Teleporter and solar panel. I get off and go to my freighter. I go to fly? I'm trapped. I can't move. My corvette is stuck in a "critical flight phase". I bounce off more walls. No autopilot. Can't even board my freighter. I am effectively trapped by these stupid freaking walls. I wish they play tested this update because I'm starting to hate it severely.

Can your corvette internals be edited by randoms? [Question]

Basically the title. I've spent forever making my corvette and would rather not have some random delete a bunch of stuff out of it if that's a possibility. Does anyone know if adding randoms to your crew allows them to do so or not? I haven't been able to find an answer through google.

I heard there was some challenge or something to stow away on another persons corvette as well, but I've tried boarding others ships at the anomaly and it wouldn't let me walk into the door at all. I've also seen others encounter the same trying to get into mine, they got stopped at the door and couldn't enter. Do you have to join a crew for this?

Should I restart? [Question]

I'm about 60 hours into the game, have a corvette that I have started making into something I like, my first free freighter and some of the rooms on it, a few bases with teleporters around the galaxy, and a settlement that I have started growing. Early in the game I was afk at the anomaly and a player was nice enough to give me 330 million units worth of stuff. I was new and didn't know how to play so that money was great in the beginning but now as I am able to buy more freighters, I feel like I have too much unearned money. But I also don't want to lose my progress on my bases and corvette. Any suggestions?

Hot take: This update was lackluster [Discussion]

Simply put, the ship builder is just not good enough. You can’t build the ship that’s literally on the game front page.

Yes, the ship builder makes the game better now that it’s here, but it’s literally just the same builder as Starfield with little to no changes. They could’ve done much better.

Every time I try to build a ship it’s almost like I’m wrestling with it to make what I want. The parts are not complex enough, you shouldn’t be able to only have one cockpit, and being forced to place your cockpit at the front is a huge pain.

Am I looking wrong? "Lush" is a specifically different type of planet than the ones I've already listed, right? Or does a Paradise planet count as "Lush" for unlocking Grounded?

Corvette Parts Question [Question]

After restarting game on ps5 after having played years ago on Xbox, I’ve finally got myself back to tens of millions in credits and a mold farm for nannites. I’ve collected a lot of corvette parts, but not near enough to do a full build. Do you mostly buy them or are they mostly found on planets?

Buying the pair min from the kiosk and I get a tiny camper corvette.

Finally made my Freighter have a 31,000 light year warp range [Screenshot]

Found a little trick in the save editor where I can just add nothing but S-Class freighter hyperdrive upgrades & managed to get a range of 31,1672.9 out of it. I can also supercharge all tech upgrade slots using the save editor. Probably one of my farthest traveling ships. Makes traveling to the center of a galaxy so much faster.

What do you roleplay as? [Discussion]

Just curious what you guys like to roleplay as. An outlaw space pirate? A merchant? Something else?

Personally, I love blowing up asteroids and selling the gold/silver. I RP as an Intergalactic janitor, getting paid shit to clean up asteroid belts for rich people who can't bother to do it themselves.

Is NMS really a multiplayer game? [Question]

I've been 20h in and paying with my cousin but there's so much is like to do in a more multiplayer style, like a party all together instead of just a group of people going around together for their individual targets.

I don't know if there's something we need to unlock later in the game, bc although we can go in select missions together, it seems, trying to do it in the same cargo ship is a mess. He can't pilot my ship, place things in it, we can't even share a home together.

I thought there would be more 'integration' but it all feels not like we're doing everything individually but next to each other, and sometimes not even that.

Pic of my ship just to avoid oblivion... and admiration :)

Need help with the „Take a photo of your Corvette“ milestone [Question]

You can kill other players if you attack their corvette or ship, I just found out. [Discussion]

Recently, while playing No Man’s Sky, I saw another player with their giant corvette, and I started shooting at it. Honestly, I had never done that before, nor had anyone ever shot at me. Suddenly, I saw an explosion and the corvette disappeared, and on the screen I saw the message “Player X has died in combat” or something like that, I don’t remember exactly.

Honestly, I didn’t know you could attack other players!! If this person is around here, I’m sorry—it was just curiosity.

Completing the game [Fan Work]

So I have put a few hours into nms but keep stopping or making new saves, I like following stories that I create myself so I decided to create a proper storyline for my character that I can follow and finally discover what the universe has to offer. Just putting this here if anyone is interested in reading my story.

Act I – The Awakening You awaken, repair your ship, and take your first steps into the stars. The Korvax embrace you, teaching their ways. You build your first base among them, living centuries immersed in logic and knowledge. You master their words, complete their challenges, and defend their systems, but whispers of their dark history with the Gek harden your heart against that species. Act II – The Scholars’ Burden Decades of study make you a scholar of Korvax thought. You catalog technologies, archive ruins, and build your reputation as a scientist. Yet their ambitions feel too contained. Their focus lies inward, while your heart yearns outward—towards the mysteries of the universe’s center. Act III – The Anomaly’s Path At the Space Anomaly, you find a new family in Nada and Polo. You take on missions, amass riches, and unlock new tools. Centuries pass, but while the Anomaly gives you everything you need, it gives little of what you want: purpose. Act IV – The Call of the Warriors & the Colonies In Vy’keen space, you save a freighter under siege and are offered its command. You try to lead, but the crew remain distant. Ashamed, you step aside, searching instead for understanding. You embrace the Vy’keen way of life, discovering it is not only about war but about honor, passion, and their belief in the great cycles of the universe. Alongside this, you take root once more—settling on a hostile world, slowly building a settlement of your own. You govern, protect, and shape it into a thriving colony, proving your worth as both warrior and builder. When you...

Can anyone help with poor VR performance? [Bug]

GPU: 5070

CPU: Ryzen 7 5800x

RAM: 32GB

HEADSET: Meta Quest 2 via link cable

I've been trying to play this game through SteamVR using the link cable and the performance is abysmal. The stuttering makes the game damn near unplayable. Even on enhanced graphics settings (which should theoretically run fine) it still runs poorly.

I've already set steamvr rendering to 100% instead of auto, among other fixes, but it still seems to run like dogwater. I have over 400hrs flatscreen and just want to enjoy this with my headset. Have you guys found anything that works?

Amarr Coercer "Gold Suggestion" [Ship Build Contest]

Seeing as the contest is still going, one more build, why not. This ship is all manner of jank, but I think I did good enough with what we have. The hardest part was trying to think of how she's supposed to land. Well, the from prongs had these fins coming off... so I wonder how good the Thunderbird landing thrusters would look as those fins. Not bad, I think, and the ship that was never meant to land... can land! Now, there's alot I could have done better. Like, all four reactors and all three shields are tucked into a 3x1 space in the 'nose'... and where it not for parts cap (hit that pretty solidly) I could have hid them better. There's also two more turrets in a base level Coercer, but parts cap decided four is enough.

When should I start planet hunting? [Question]

I am at the point in my play through where I am looking for a planet that I want to build a big base on. I don’t even fully know what I’m looking for in a planet and I’m excited to just explore and figure that out but I’m wondering if I should wait until I finish the main story or not.

I’m about 50 hours into this new save and I just hit the part in the Artemis path where you unlock the agricultural terminal. So far my base has just been a small room with the terminals so that I can progress the story. I want to start planet hunting for a place I want to settle but I also am unsure if I should do it in the Euclid galaxy or not, I’ve been playing this game on and off for years but never fully understood the different galaxy’s until recently (and still don’t really) but I know that at the end of the story you reach the center of the galaxy which lets you move on.

Also are the Atlas and Artemis paths two completely separate quest lines? Or just two paths to the same end? And if so what are the pros and cons of each? I know I finished the main story several years ago but don’t remember much so spoilers are fine.

TLDR: is it worth it to wait until I move galaxies to find a forever home? Or should I just start exploring now?

Any insight on the main quests, galaxy differences, or planet info is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Creative mode vs Normal mode [Question]

I built my first corvette from parts I was able to aquire but what I want to build i havent found the parts and it is becoming tedious. I found fast ways but I also learned that creative mode has all parts unlocked and you can let your creative side run wild. My question is can you switch a normal difficulty to creative just to build a ship with everything and once you are done switch it back to normal with nothing changing? Blueprints aquited...resources acquired? Anything detrimental? Anyone have experience before I pull the trigger? I dont want to mess up my entire playthrough. I enjoy the survival and attacks and resource gathering.

The wings and the back were the most challenging, I'll try to improve them if I think of something. I quite liked it, hope you guys do as well o7.

So I finished the expedition last week and it was really fun. When I was wrapping it up I started feeling like it ended too fast sooo I’m playing through it again with a new save. Anyone else replaying the expedition (especially now that the bugs are gone).

Are you using items from your main save or from the first play through?

What are you doing differently this go around? Mainly im planning to just take my time this go around. Maybe I’ll port over one of my multi-tools because I HATE grinding to upgrade those but don’t mind the grind for exosuits and ships.

Expedition rewards [Question]

I'm a new player and jumped pretty much straight into the expidition. The main reward you get for finishing is a companion egg. It wouldn't let me put the egg in my expedition transfer locker so I hatched it assuming it would just be permanently saved as a follower, but it seems to be gone after going back to my main. Is that it gone for good then or am I missing some sort of feature? Wish I didn't even go back to my main save tbh, was used to all the upgrades I got haha.

Renewed to NMS [Question]

My wife and I used to play no man sky when it first released. It was fun, but without the ability to play together the interest faded fast.

With the most recent update to the game we finally have a big enough incentive to try again. I'm heavy into base building, and my wife loves gathering things so its a perfect fit.

When we start we'd like to start over and relearn everything together, but we'd also like to work towards building our own corvette. Is this possible?

I'm 100% looking to build the Bebop from cowboy bebop or the planet express ship from Futurama. Which would be cooler in your opinions?

Looking for guides on building corvettes with parts built onto horizontal cylindrical configuration (like a cannon). [Discussion]

I've seen a few people post images of corvettes where parts seem to be snapped (or otherwise placed) in forward facing cylindrical arrangements. They are around the cylinder in what seen like impossible angles, so I assume some sort of glitch building is involved. I've commented on them, but the OPs of these threads haven't responded to me, so I'm appealing to the community.

Does anyone know of any guides to doing this type of construction?

New player - Cannot claim sentinel ship I found? [Question]

I found a sentinel ship that looked pretty awesome and I'd like to claim it.

I only have my corvette ship currently.

I went through the process of purging it and getting the brain. When I went back to the ship, it only allowed me to compare inventory and says "Cannot purchase".

I thought - maybe I have to repair the Crimson Core first? But there is no option to do so.

I saw someone suggest to reload the game - when I did, I had to re-purge the ship and get the brain (annoying). Came back - same thing. Cannot purchase.

I saw someone said to dig a hole under it and reload the save, which I just did. Well, ship is now in a hole, but I have to re-purge it again.

What gives? How do I get this ship? I'm about to just leave it.

Quality of life suggestions concerning Corvette building [Suggestion]

The update has been absolutely fantastic so far. Here are a some suggestions concerning the corvette building experience:

  • Counter and list of parts in a corvette: Since farming the pieces is very time consuming and building involves a lot of experimenting, it is appealing to draft a build in creative mode before switching to your normal save. A list with the name of the parts used and their quantities would help a lot in searching for the pieces you need. If there was a way to copy and paste a blueprint/draft between savefiles it would be the absolute best as well.

  • Option to move the whole ship in a given direction when building: Sometimes you start your build a bit too low or a bit too much to the side, which can make you run out of space. Being able to move your whole ship in a given direction would help us recenter/reposition our designs, instead of having to delete and rebuild everything from a new position.

  • Finer grid/free position placement: The snap point positions are often too far apart and limit a lot of fine tuning if you don't use any offset techniques, which are cumbersome to use repeatedly. Being able to place a part half a module up, down, left or right feels like a necessity, and being able to toggle free position/rotate freely would also solve a lot of angle issues with wings, decorative pieces and other parts.

Corvette module ideas? [Discussion]

Hey team, I was playing the game, etc, and I ran into accouple situations where I thought "wow, that would be great if they added this over time". Specifically about the corvette modules. I would like to know what ideas everyone has, cuz theres alot of potential, and who knows, maybe ideas will get back to hello games and make the game even better. Ya know, rough ideas for directions this corvette thing can go?

Here's my best idea: since you can have a crew, itd be great to have a module you can walk into, while your friend is in the pilot seat, and you could man a turret. Otherwise, the crew is completely in the pilots hands during combat, and itd be fun to have something to do during that time as a passenger. Like the millenium falcon?

Otherwise, i had more obvious ideas, or stuff that theyre probably already going to add.

●windows on top and bottom of habitation modules, for skylight, or the floor for good views of the planet youre on.

●rotating more of the things. Some things can only be a certain direction, like wings. Ive wanted to turn accouple upside down.

●interior walls

Flora & Fauna Should Be the Next Big Focus for No Man’s Sky (and Light No Fire) Pt. 2 [Suggestion]

In my previous post, I talked about how Hello Games’ updates for No Man’s Sky seem to double as groundwork for their upcoming project Light No Fire. No Man’s Sky has grown into one of the best survival games out there, but I think future expansions could push it further—particularly by deepening flora and fauna systems. For this post, I want to list out a few features I’d love to see in an expansion: Dynamic Wildlife Interactions: Creatures can hunt, compete, or cooperate with each other, creating a more lifelike ecosystem. Wildlife and Habitat Dynamics: Animals interact with their surroundings—climbing trees, grazing on plants, and showing unique behaviors per species. Fauna Territories: Certain creatures claim areas as their own, defending them from players or rival species. Flora Territories: Specific regions are dominated by certain plant species, with different areas featuring distinct flora. Wildlife Social Structures: Species can either live as solitary creatures or form packs with cooperative behaviors. Fauna Breeding System: Players can selectively breed creatures for traits, utility, or companionship. Flora Gene Splicing: Plants can be crossbred or modified to create new species with unique effects or resources. Automated Fauna Farms: Planet-based systems that gather materials from creatures. Automated Flora Farms: Planet-based systems that gather materials from plants. "Apex Predators": Unique boss-like creatures that appear only on the highest classification of fauna/flora for planets, with one each for land, air, and sea. Planetary Hazardous Flora: A massive, energy-draining plant found only on certain barren worlds—though not every barren world has one.

Struggling to fill this gap [Ship Builds]

Hi all! As the title says, i'm struggling to find something that works well to fill this "dead" space on the top of my Corvette (on the highlighted hab in the photos). I've tried the fuel rods but these are FAR to big and block almost all of the view from my cockpit. I tried a ducting outlet as well but it wasn't quite as streamlined as i'd hoped.

Generally I'm really happy with it as I always struggle getting my ideas down with these kinds of mechanics. For those interested i've tried to (very) loosely base this off my favorite ship in Elite Dangerous - the Anaconda :)

Any recommendations for this gap would be much appreciated!

Picking a freighter [Question]

New to this game. Was holding out for a good freighter and had this one pop. Is there a reason I should go for an S-class over this? I tried researching but all I find is “S-class is best” but I can’t tell why. Also I’ve seen a lot that don’t have nearly the inventory space which as a new player is very enticing since I have a ton of stuff I’m holding till I understand what it’s for and how rare it might be.

quest 3 help [Question]

i feel pretty dumb having to ask this, but here goes. I havent played in years. when the vr update first dropped, i played w my rift s a bunch. then life happened and i stopped playing for a while. with the new update, i really want to jump back in and try it out. i've got a quest 3. i've got a link cable. everything is updated. i open steam on my pc, go to nms in my library, click play, and select launch in steam vr.

when it opens, im not really in vr, im seeing my screen mirrored in the headset. the controllers don't seem to work great at selecting stuff. it definitely seems to think im still using a mouse. once i managed to load up the game, everything was spinning. managed to quit and try again, but the same thing kept happening. i've been googling trying to figure this out, but everyone else seems to have different issues and i can't help but think there is a simple, but crucial step im skipping here.

if it matters im running a i9-13900/ 64 gb ddr5/ rtx 4090 24gb/ several tb of storage/ windows 11

I loaded back onto the game after about an hour or 2, and when i came back 3 different things happened : the first save, the normal one that you load into after loading the game, had a black orb in the middle and like yellow shades around it, saying it was really toxic on the planet and 140 depth? i could move but not see. i reloaded my auto save, and this time the screen was green with white bits around the edges that looked like foam, saying it was really toxic again. this time its been just black, and this was the restore point. how do i fix it? i have tried all the saves. ill try reloading the game but if i dont get this save back im definitely quitting. my only save in the game, and its got 25 hours in.

Newbie's path [Question]

So, I recently bought the game, played a few hours, visited first spacebase/spaceport (or how does it called, cant recall) and I have an impression that the game is mostly living me with figuring out everything by myself.

Is there any knowledgebase or some up do date reviews at least (as most of them ~2y ago or about some specific features of the latest update) which would help with picking up the game quicker TIA!

To the "Lowella Echo Base" owner [NMSTG Hub Region (xxxx01DDF571)]

Hello, everyone.

I am trying to contact the player who is building the “Lowella echo base.”

Dude, you are building in my colony...

I would like to think that this is an accident, and that you did not notice that there was already a fully developed colony, as well as a base on its edge. Today I reported your base so that I can continue working on my constructions without yours getting in the way. I would really appreciate it if you could delete your base and build somewhere else.

Thank you very much in advance, I hope you see this message.

Any one point may not be significant in a vacuum, but all together they make the game for me rather frustrating or exhausting to play, which is a real shame to me. To clarify - I have played about half-half in a normal game and in expedition.

Most of the points are a UI/UX issue and I really hope that these would be addressed. I don't think anyone would argue that NMS has a... suboptimal UI, especially for players on PC. Stylish, yes, but not very comfortable to use and not very welcoming to new players. I don't think it has to be this way, but lets get to the actual point(s).

Biggest issue, I think, is menus and submenus (and sub-submenues). Imagine this: you've opened a galaxy map, selected a system you want to go to and see that you are out of hyperdrive fuel. To get it you need to close the galaxy view, open your inventory, click on one tile, craft a casing, click on another tile, craft antimatter, click on the third tile, craft a fuel canister, then use it on an engine. You can't simply craft it immediately even if you have all the materials, you can't craft more than you need so it would auto-refuel, and you can't get to that menu from the galaxy view straight away. And if you don't have the materials on your exosuit, then searching becomes a whole process in itself.

So, inventories. Corvettes have a dedicated cargo section, which you can access from quick transfer, and you can use items from it on ship-based modules, like a refinery. However, you can't sell items from it on the station, you can't access the cargo from the Tab menu...

"lost in space"mission bugged in expedition [Bug]

Me and friend started the expedition yesterday.

We noticed the lost in space mission never completes after you have sold the items.

It continues to say, "exit the freighter, use the teleporters to exit".

If you close and reopen the game, it reverts back to the start. So you can get items over and over again

I've managed to do this 3 times so far, so I think its a little broken

Update Request/Idea: Issuing freighter bridge commands from corvette [Suggestion]

For example, I would love for a way to still send my frigates on missions from a comms terminal on my corvette. Maybe even send the freighter on missions, and manage other functions without having to teleport onto the freighter itself. I think that would really help deepen the concept/immersion of using the corvette as a true mobile base.

🚀 WIP TIE Fighter Build – looking for tips! [Ship Builds]

Hey Interlopers,

I’ve been working on this TIE Fighter–inspired build in No Man’s Sky. Still a work in progress, since there aren’t really any other TIE-style builds out there to compare with.

I’d love to hear your feedback or ideas on how to push it further! Do you think I should go more classic with clean lines, or keep some of the NMS-style detailing?

No players at the Anomaly [Bug]

Since the Voyagers update, each time I visit Anomaly I don't see anyone there. At first I thought it's due to everyone being out on the Expedition, that is until my friend told me his Anomaly has full lobby.

I'm playing on Steam, my Multiplayer is on (never turned it off). I've tried turning it off, reloading the game, turning it on. I've tried deleting mxml files from SETTINGS folder. I've tried to turn VPN on. None of these worked.

If anyone has fixed it somehow, please share how you did it.

Is the "hunt dangerous pirates" missiong from the Nexus for QS bugged for anyone else? [Bug]

Today's the third time I try this mission (different days, different systems, etc.) and every time I go out there there's no marker. I have flown around all the planets scanning constantly and nothing triggers.

I found a bunch of red ships with a big capital ship today, but no marker or anything. So, I shot at them and they didn't even react, acted like asteroids. Then I started blasting the capital ship, took almost all it's shields, nothing. Then another player showed up and finished off the capital ship and then flew off.

I can only imagine that maybe, just maybe, that was the mission. It didn't trigger for me, but I did most of the work for that other player. Nevermind that.

Hunting pirates seems like the easiest and most fun way to make QS for me, but it refuses to work... Anyone else? Any ideas?

I built a SQUADRON of TIE Interceptors 😂 [Ship Builds]

I was just building myself a TIE interceptor corvette when I had a wild idea. What if I built a bunch of them linked together as one corvette, and then just deleted the links after I had finalized the build? At first I built all 5 to be fully functional like the front one, but it turns out you can only have one cockpit per corvette :🙁 So I took a design liberty to change up the others. My head cannon is the squadron commander gets a better ship 🤷‍♂️

Why can i not rotate modules for the corevett? (Or build on the right side) [Question]

Title. Can't build on the right side of the habitat module unless i add a walkway or cargo hold or whatever, and even then i can't seem to add anything to it. Can't rotate modules either, trying to add a walkway just to see if i can add stuff to the right then but it's just facing straight forward no matter what.

On ps5 if that does anything

Corvette lighting [Ship Builds]

I'm just as obsessed with shipbuilding as most of you. Today, I wanted to play around with adding lights to the outside. I think it adds a lot to the designs.

I'm most excited for the big blue circles on the front of the engines. They're each made by clumping together a few of the regular blue lights, then putting the dinner plate (I forget what it's actually called) over top of them. I might try just a single light so there's no hotspots, but it might not be bright enough.

Corvette ships with friends? [Question]

What am I doing wrong? [Question]

I had beat the Expedition and decided not to end it since I wanted to claim a few Sentinel Interceptors on my main save. I switched to my main save and managed to reach the same planet as I visited within the Expedition. Then no matter what I try I can't see my Expedition teleports, bases, savepoints or even comm signals from my main save.

Short range teleporting over long distances over 2 bases [Question]

Trying to build a quick runaway mold farm by connecting 2 curious deposits (800mtr in between) using short range teleporters until learning they have a 200mtr limit.

Found a YT vid which explained you can "extend" the range following this concept:

place a teleporter and connect to the next section

place 2 teleporters, using free placing, in each other but rotate 1 by ~90° and of course correctly hook them up.

did this another 2 or 3 sections

reached the buildable area of my 1st base computer, so place another base computer and continued the teleports string.

The teleporting string works perfectly within each build computer. So i can teleport from the start (within 1st base comp) upto the 1st duo stacked teleporters of my 2nd base computer. And from the end (within 2nd base comp) vice versa.

I've tried:

making sure they all had their own power supply

redid wiring (electric and teleport tube) three times

restacked teleporters three times

As the rest of the string works, I understand the method and recon the issue is crossing the 1st to 2nd base computer.

My questions:

Is this is a known thing? Just started playing NMS so this is all new to me

Is there a way to extend the buildable area of a build computer?

Is there a way to see the buildable area of a build computer? As I figure if I place it in the middle of my teleporter string, I might fit the entire teleporter string within 1 base computer.

New player: Expedition or Primary Save? (plus some misc questions) [Question]

With word of the new update I finally decided to jump into NMS and oh boy...I'm more than a little obsessed. But also a little overwhelmed and am looking for some advice from the veteran players.

My first, biggest question: should I be playing my Primary Save or the Expedition? I basically only got to the Anomaly on my Primary Save - so it seems there is matric ton of stuff I have yet to unlock. But when getting there, I of course noticed the Expedition option and jumped straight into that. I immediately fell in love with the corvette system, and I've already completed all of phase 1 and most of phase 2 and 3. But now I feel like I'm putting the cart before the horse, as I'm still pretty unfamiliar with a lot of core game mechanics and find myself trying to figure it out on the fly and complete a lot of Expedition missions, since it looks like a limited event of some kind.

So my main question is: which should I be playing right now as a new player? Did I jump the gun in switching to Expedition so soon?

I've now started watching a lot of new player tips videos, and that helps for a ton of general small quality of life stuff in the game, but not my overall confusion as to what I should generally be focusing on. And I know it's a giant sandbox and there's no wrong way to play it - trust me that I'm having a blast just jumping around and exploring. But I'm also seeing plays on my feeds that are decked out, with giant custom ships and bases and tools (staves??) and cloaks and sharing portal coordinates and where to find S Rank stuff and etc etc. I'm not in a rush to get it all, but I'd at least like to be on the best path!

Some quick questions about Expedition:

  1. What does the time limit mean?

  2. Will everything I do on Expedition eventually carry over to my Primary Save?

  3. If I unlock Corvettes in Expedition, can I then go...

“Connect Bio-Domes to power supply” completely stuck [Bug]

I am doing the weekend quest in the anomaly to construct a base and at this point am completely stuck. I have fully powered all six biofuel reactors, and connected each one to both biodomes in like every socket. The quest simply will not progress. Why? How do I fix this? It’s really frustrating i’ve already spent like half an hour on this quest because you can’t teleport anywhere in the middle of it.

Covette parts cache [Question]

This may be a silly question, but WHERE is the corvette parts cache terminal?

It clearly isn't the same one you build the corvette at, cause I've tried to see any way to use it that way. I try to look it up and just find nothing but people relieved its not deleting their stuff anymore, but nothing on where on earth the blasted thing is lmao.

The craziest planet/fauna combo ever [Screenshot]

Today I found a gas giant that looks like Jupiter with a moon that had a ton of rare fauna on it. I almost never see even one of these sort of fauna when exploring, but this time they ALL happened to be on the same moon. Maybe this because it’s a purple system? Regardless, I thought you guys would like this. Let me know if you want glyphs.

It’s so so close [Discussion]

The game is currently surging because of the corvettes, and rightfully so as that was something people have always hoped for. It just needs the one other missing thing people have been wanting for years to turn the game from a beautiful exploration/crafting game into an all-time great; combat and meaningful expansion. So, im proposing a simple shift that could help the depth in that regard.

If you are able to fix up all the settlements of a solar system you should get to be in charge of that system. Earn money from it, protect from pirate raids, build space defenses for it, basically a new level of management. Let me build an empire and give me a special title for it, and only I can build bases there. Let other empires exist that you can conquer and then fix the settlements, doesn’t even have to be anything that would mess with politics of the main story (conquering dread pirate Joe shmo and his 5 system empire anyone?) I think everyone would be super engaged into at least having their own solar system

It seems the devs look on here at least on rare occasion, so may as well put the idea out to see if something sticks. Thoughts?

Any way to force start a mission on console? [Question]

Not even a noob, got "duped" by hello games from the start, OG player that plays in short bursts of a ton of time at once with long breaks in between, keep coming back and love the game more with every update.

Anywho, picked the game back up again recently and for the first time found out about purple star systems 😅. Never knew they existed because I'm not sure if the mission ever started for me, I've beaten both the Artemis and atlas paths a while ago, and never got the new quest that unlocks the formula for the drive.

Is there any way to force start the mission on console (specifically Xbox series s) or am I doomed to never experience a gas giant?

Unrelated sidenote but this happened to another quest line for me too, I took a long break midway through the living ship missions when they dropped and now I'm stuck halfway through the storyline with no marker and no indication of where to go lol. Does this just happen sometimes?

Corvette expedition problem [Question]

Invisible or Displaced (Light) Decoration ontop Corvette [Bug]

So I just placed a couple of light decorations on the outside of my corvette only for them to either be out of place or invisible whenever I enter the corvette building menu again.

Invisible, because the lighting effect is still there and the power connector can be seen in mid air. It's also not possible to delete those power connectors. Whether the parts where clipping or not made no difference.

Has anyone experienced something similar?

#

from one problem to the next… [Bug]

As much as I love the new update I hate all the bugs it brings. I was just flying to a planet and suddenly a blackscreen popped up. Only my hud was visible. I did nothing special. Just flying to a planet sitting in my cockpit seat. It needed multiple restarts to get rid of the blackscreen and now my corvette is gone. I can call it and the „my spaceship“ symbol is actually hovering on the screen like normal but the ship is vanished. The corvette workbench tells me that all the necessary modules are missing and all the remaining modules are also vanished. Is there a way to get my corvette back or do I have to say goodbye?

#

Am I screwed? Can I still earn achievements? [Question]

I was bored and decided to start a new run on normal with some tweaked settings.

Purchases free

I never rename saves this is important later

Everything was going fine until I got off then got back on not thinking loaded into my main save and tried to buy corvette parts. It cost me money thinking it was bugged I check the setting noticed it was on standard and changed it.

Hours later I realized that I was on my main save.

Am I still able to earn achievements on my main save after messing with the difficulty setting mid game?

Save Conundrum [Question]

Need help deciding!

This is my first time getting really into this game, and it has been a blast. After 7 hours into my relaxed save, I decided to do the expedition, but I didn't know you could do it with the same save by starting in the anomaly, so I did it in it's own save. Now that I'm just about done with it, I need to pick which save to continue.... I don't really replay games, so which would give me the best experience?

A.) finish the expedition and go back to the original save. I just got the freighter, and was going to start a gold farm to afford all the Corvette parts. Don't really have anything special of note besides the starting freighter and more storyline progression and unlocks.

B.) continue the expedition save that has a bunch of credits and a cool multi tool and all the Corvette bits you get from it, skip a bunch of early game grinding but have to redo story stuff and learn languages and such.

Thanks!

Weekend mission from anomaly [Discussion]

Hi folks, I'm still fussing with the mission to build a base. I've got everything done and I am on the hookup power to the buildings. I've done this.... added more biofuel generators, and even some solar generators.... it doesn't seem to progress from this spot. Even had a sentinel fight and destroyed the capital ship... come back to the base and nothing has changed. Added more generators and wires... and no joy. Any suggestions or help?

Preview of my WIP: Deep Ocean Fishing and Observational Research - D.O.F.O.R. [Video]

The waves here crash well above the glass domes, I would guess 100m or more in height. The base is fully connected from the surface to the bottom. It takes a few minutes of falling down the central tube and climbing some connecting ladders to reach the bottom from the top. It's two bases that meet near the bottom of the ocean and connect via water tight entrances in a plaza-like area. So far I've worked about 15 hours on it, normal mode. I plan on making this a fully powered and functional base. I can't wait to share more and give coords when it's furnished and ready for tours!

Dear Sean, I know you've gone the extra mile. 1,002 times. [Suggestion]

But my demand is simple. Please let the landing bays be closed when we land on a planet. It takes a great amount of courage to take our first bold steps out into an unknown environment and I wish we had the privilege to be the ones to reveal ourselves to the planet for the first time, after some mental and physical preparation. Also it just feels really cozy when the door is still closed and we still have a choice. It's in these simple pleasures that I draw enjoyment from in immersive exploration games, and I hope I'm one of many who feels the same. 🙏🙏🙏

Potentially a bug- I stepped down from settlement ownership before getting the “a trace of metal” quest. A few hours later a korvax told me my settlement was under attack- but I don’t own a settlement anymore.

Elite: Dangerous player here. How is NMS? [Question]

It looks so appealing, yet at the same time I can't quite get myself to commit to getting it.

I love space exploration type games, and Elite sort of solidified that love. It's such a simple loop when it comes to forging your own path. I was wondering if No Man's Sky is the same.

I'll start off by saying that Elite is very simplistic. Here's your starter ship, have at it. Credits are easy to come by, fuel is plentiful via a Fuel Scoop and it provides for every system in the ship.

Strangely that's my only worry in games like this. How self sustaining can you be? I believe I saw in a video once that there's a different fuel type for your takeoff thrusters and some other systems(?). I'd rather not worry about all that extra stuff.

I'm ranting at this rate, but I guess my question boils down to how similar and dissimilar is NMS to Elite?

Any advice?

Found a fix for controller not working (PC/Steam) [Bug]

I think I found a very simple solution, guys. Instead of opening the game from the Steam interface as usual, open the NMS.exe file directly. Go to Steam\steamapps\common\No Man's Sky\Binaries and try to open NMS.exe with the controller already connected. I'm also using Steam Input here.

None of the other solutions worked until I found this one.

Is your game crashing WAY TOO OFTEN (Ps4) [Bug]

Any solution? It's becoming way too frequent...

In the most respectful way, this is the glitchiest game I have ever played in my life. [Information]

No, this is not a hate post. More like a, “I can’t believe this game is so glitchy, what the fuck am I doing wrong”, kind of post.

The group of 3 (including me) I play with spend about 87% of our time running into bugs and glitches. We even have an inside joke about how the game only works 2% of the time we play it together.

Crashes, audio glitches, glitched out freighter bases, can’t teleport to friend’s teleporters, ships landing 20+ feet high inside my freighter, freighter refiner rooms are useless as both times I’ve used them they despawn all the items inside as soon as I go anywhere away from the freighter (20k mold for Nanites gone), NPC’s not getting out of their ships in a space station/leaving in the middle of me offering them money for their ship, sentinels can spot me over 150 feet underground in caves and sometimes spawn their guard dogs in man-made tunnels that then get glitched into the walls and do damage to you by literally no-clipping and you can’t use the terrain manipulator to dig them out… I mean… it shouldn’t be possible to make 2 massive blocks of text about glitches in a game that came out in 2016 and has been apparently receiving a shot ton of updates ever since then. So what gives???? Why is there so many glitches and bugs everywhere.

Almost all multiplayer interactions are bugged too: hours you pour into the freighter you and your friends use is all for NOTHING because you’re the only person who can even see the base at all, teleporting to friendly bases is not possible, transferring inventory items to someone else sometimes doesn’t work for no given reason, friends won’t appear even if they’re on the same planet as you (this one is wayyyy too common, gotta force restart each time).

I basically only play the game in coop/multiplayer. After re-installing it...

Game completely broken on ps4 (white menu, white square) [Bug]

Hey, so I wanted to come back to No Man's Sky for the new update, but found my game completely broken (ps4). The main menu is without any pictures, when I launch the game there's a huge white square in the middle of the screen, and the inventory menu is also fully white and glitched. Most of the icons are missing, replaced by the same white square. The game is pretty much unplayable at this point. I tried to reinstall, turn my ps4 off and waited couple of minutes, nothing helps. Does anyone else experience this? Or know how to fix it? I really don't want to lose my 70 hours:(

NMS can be more scary than Subnautica [Video]

Although the Nautilon is handy, it's still not good enough and glitches at times. At depths like 1000u+, it gets really dark, and the light just isn't powerful enough. If the fauna at those depths gets aggressive, it could be terrifying. The game has so much potential for underwater scenarios, though I understand that it’s not the main focus.

As a Subnautica fan, I’ve been exploring the ocean. I've managed to see waves that give off some serious Interstellar Miller’s planet vibes—not quite the same height, but still scary enough. I’ve even started building a base at around 1300 u+depth. The seafloor there has some interesting flora that gives off a nice luminescent glow. But if that thing in the video were to get aggressive, that would be absolutely crazy but fun :l

My Corvette turned into a normal ship [Bug]

Extremely frustrating glitch, not seen before, playing on ps5. On an normally anomaly mission, flying my corvette, then got out of it hovering above a planet. I started doing the mission, than realized my ship was “off world”. Summoned it, and instead of the large corvette it was a small exotic ship. Upon reloads, it still is. Anyone else run into this? Any way to fix? Very frustrated that the corvette I spent hours grinding parts for and designing is straight up gone. I can provide pictures too if that’s helpful

Is doing anomaly missions solo reasonable? [Question]

I just did one yesterday, keep in mind I only just unlocked the anomaly, solo. And I got like 500k units (400 for the mission and the planet I warped to had a broken station and everything was with like 20k, although there were no animals which probably would have been worth alot more) but I died once cause I forgot my new multi tool doesn't have a terrain manipulator

So is it reasonable to do missions solo or what?

What are the corvette parts you want added? [Discussion]

Loving the new update but I can't help but feel like there are a couple parts that the corvette needs added.

1: more cockpits. In particular I'd like a more industrial crane-style cockpit.

2: Diagonal pieces. Walkways, struts, and the like. right now building feels restricted to planes.

3: more rotation options. specifically when something is placed on the front or back I'd like to be able to rotate it along the axis it is mounted on.

what are your corvette wishlist items?

Question about Corvettes [Ship Builds]

Hi everyone! I'm a new player who just started playing after Voyagers released, and I have to say, I'm having a blast! I've built a decent starter Corvette and have been using it as a mobile base (I haven't been back to my actual base in god knows how long) and I've put a lot of work into it (upgrading its class, storage, adding new modules, etc.) But now I want to redesign it, as I've collected a lot of new parts and I want to see what other cool designs I can make.

So my question is, can I pull pieces off my existing Corvette in the editor, rearrange stuff, etc. to rebuild it into a different design without losing the upgrades I've put into it?

(Attached pics are my current design)

Corvette long distance flights [Discussion]

What really is the point of autopilot?

At least by the time you have any upgrades, there's not much to do out of the pilot seat for a minute or two.

Let us fly from system to system for some long journeys and have time to hang out in our flying fortresses.

Maybe with a special pulse drive upgrade. Maybe with new deep space anomalies to float around. Maybe with basic, multiplayer board games to play.

You could still always drop out and use that new fangled hyperdrive if you are ready to get to business.

Restore a Save file via Steam cloud [Question]

Hi !

A little bit of context.

I have buy No Man's Sky a few years back. Loved the game, had a saved of more than 200 hours. Then, I lost interest in the game and stop until 2024.

When i came back, I tried to start back from where i was. I enter my old save but i found myself completly lost. I didnt remember how the game work and it had change a lot with all the update. So i didnt think too much about it, delete my save and start a new one.

But now I regret doing that. I'm curious about my old save and wanna see how i was back then compare to my actual save.

I think I found in the steam cloud something that could be my save. (As I say earlier, when I get back to the game i log in that saved files at least once.)

Can i retored it from the steam cloud ?
How i do ?
And the more important, is it a risk for my actual save ?

Here's a screenshot to show what i suspect to be my old save.

Mecha-Dino Zoid-inspired Corvette Ship I'm Fairly Proud Of [Ship Builds]

I wanted to get some feedback even if I can't edit my ship since the last patch! (it says my ship parts aren't connected even though they are, plus it gives me fossils when I move or delete parts still...)
BUT I am (fairly) proud of my Berserk Fury zoid / dinozord / mecha dino inspired ship. I knew I couldn't make Berserk Fury exactly so i got pretty close and took some liberties. The guns are indeed inside the mouth and where the floating thrusters are (similar position to fury's egg beaters). Hopefully I can make it even better once some patches fix the corvette building bugs I have at the moment. Give me some ideas to improve it if you have any! The teeth are pretty bad placeholders at the moment, and I think I want to give the arms a redesign as well once I'm able to.

You guys need to chill with your corvette builds please [Discussion]

Dont get me wrong, I love the new corvette ships, I love looking at all your builds, and I love how much you can do with them. But too often now do I stroll up into the nexus and have my framerate absolutely tanked down to 9fps because some guy has every possible building piece slapped on or in his ship. I think most of us can agree thats a little ridiculous. Now my pc isn't the most powerful out there sure but what about these poor console players? If im having trouble? They probably can't even go i the nexus half the time.

Im just saying maybe limit the amount of decorations your filling your ship with, for all our sakes please

Leaving the galaxy [Question]

Hi everyone, I’ve spent quite a lot of time playing nms, and buy this point I’m really close to leave the Euclid galaxy. I’ve read about galaxy types on nms viki, but I don’t know what happens after leaving one. Does it mean I lose all my progress? And can I get back to the previous galaxy?

Scrapping Exotics? S-Class? [Question]

I bought and scrapped an Exotic to get some parts for my Corvette, and noticed that I got a few expansion modules. However, on an A-Class Explorer I got none.

Just wondering if Exotics, due to their small size, automatically have expansion modules coded in, or if I just got lucky? Do other S-class ships provide expansion modules?

"Vulture Droid" styled corvette [Ship Builds]

I AM ECSTATIC!!
Finally got around to create a corvette that has side-mounted "vulture droid" wings. She's small and not that well armed, but man is she nimble! Best starship I've ever had in this game. I've yet to furnish the interiors, she's fresh out of the hangar, but I've got around to paint her orange with chrome/metallic details. So here, random interloper, behold my creation! (sorry for image quality, potato laptop).

General view. Creating the rounded holders for the wing linkage took me longer than I wish to admit.

Quite proud of how the quad exhaust turned out (It's 3 dual jets kind of merged within each others)

I decided to go with an asymmetric cockpit to compromise keep a small size while maximizing living space.

Some small detailing of the hull, with various vents.

Underbelly has an opened spot: this is where you enter the ship from.

Close up on the access elevator under the belly.

Now for decals!

Survey/exploration corvette: Argument of Periapsis [Ship Builds]

I think I'm getting better at using the curvy parts we have ingame currently. I also really like how the inverted radome looks on the back end. Very happy with how this one's turned out overall.

"The argument of periapsis (also called argument of perifocus or argument of pericenter), symbolized as ω (omega), is one of the orbital elements of an orbiting body. Parametrically, ω is the angle from the body's ascending node to its periapsis, measured in the direction of motion."

Easy way to get an S class pirate dreadnought freighter [Information]

I’m sorry if this has been posted here before, but I just figured it out so I thought I’d share the knowledge! So I was looking into ways to farm an s class dreadnought by warping from a nearby system to an outlaw and then going through the battle and scanning the freighter to see what class, but I found a way easier way!

So first, you have to be in your corvette and warp to an outlaw system where a pirate ship is attacking a civilian ship. From there, you can get close ish to the dreadnought and exit the pilot seat. This will automatically set a new respawn point. Then you can go out of your corvette on a space walk and scan the ship ( I found that you need to be out of the ship for the scan to work). Then if it’s not the class you want, just pause and reload to last spawn point. In my experience it always spawns you right back in a fight and you can rinse and repeat. I’m sure this can have its use somewhere else too besides just finding a good class dreadnought. But it saves a ton of time!

Corvette combat missions. [Discussion]

Honestly the only thing missing from the game now Is Turret modules and combat missions with fellow traveller's. Imagine activating a mission for quicksilver at the anomaly, a combat mission icon pops up above your corvette and 3 randomly jump aboard to help liberate a system. You could first take out some destroyers and frigates then work your way down to planets and free settlements that are occupied. Then to finish it off as you make your way back to the anomaly and dreadnought for the final boss. Great way to make new friends while make cash for cosmetics. Thanks for reading. Happy travels!🙏

Anyone else running into controller issues on PC/Steam? [Bug]

Since the latest patch, every time I load up the game on my PC, none of the inputs from my XSX controller are registering. I have to go into the settings, "Configure Gamepad via Steam", switch to a community layout, switch BACK to the default, and then, sometimes, it's good to go. But not always!

It also seems to be the only game where I have to remember to turn the controller on BEFORE booting it up. Pretty much every other game in my library recognizes my controller as soon as I turn it on, even if the game is already running.

Already submitted a ticket to Zendesk because it is driving me absolutely insane. Just wondering if anyone else is running into this or if it's just me.

It's also been completely fine since the Voyagers update. It wasn't until a couple of days ago this started happening for me, so I assume it was the most recent patch that introduced it.

The Old Astronomer [Ship Build Contest]

I've always loved hero ships so I'm absolutely loving this update. Something big enough to carry an ensemble of unlikely heros across the stars along with everything they need, while also being small enough to be nimble and not too overpowered.

That's what I tried to make here. Inspired by The Normandy, The Rocinante, The Millenium Falcon, The Ship from the Hyperion Cantos, and many others. Something to carry travelers in luxury while also packing a serious punch and being more maneuverable than expected.

I made a post earlier about switching to creative mode, but I found I didn't need to. After about 5 hours of serious salvage grinding I just started building and found I had 80-90% of the parts I needed and plenty to trade for the rest. And that's with 98 parts installed.

I've also been inspired to fully furnish the inside, something I've never done with my bases. I'll post an update with that soon. I'm also gambling away all my nanites trying to max out the stats with illegal mods.

Last pro tip: in the color section try selecting the metallic finish, it gives your ship a real pop!

Build limit sucks [Question]

I've been working on building a few cities around my systems to make it feel more settled (its a whole rp thing in my brain whatever) and I realized that one of the big cities im building is already 4000 items and 1k past the upload limit, its only 1/4th done. I made another much smaller city before it and wanted to make a big one and now im really annoyed by this build limit because I dont think ill be able to make a second large city because of it. They NEED to either completely remove this or drastically increase it because im mad now.

Where did my ship inventory disappear to? [Bug]

During the Voyager expedition I got quite excited with ship module farming and got ahead of myself.

After farming a heck tonne of stuff, I bounced back between my primary and expedition save to transfer all my stuff over before I ended the expedition.

I had spent quite a bit of time getting a big inventory on my Gold Vector years back, so I use this ship to store most of m useful items (Stacks of activated metals, Silver/Gold/Plat, space materials etc...)

The rest I didn't really care about. But after offloading all my valuable expedition rewards onto my starship, I hopped over to the space station to put all of my Corvette parts into my workshop.

At this point, I was very tired so I Saved and Quit and went to bed. The next day when I loaded back in my entire Starship inventory was empty (as if I had died).

This feels very bizarre. My Corvette workshop is empty too and my other ships don't seem to have any of it.

What suggestions could you make to where it could have disappeared to?

Loaded game and it says I died and I've lost all my ship's cargo? [Bug]

I've returned to NMS after a couple of years, started a new game and been playing on and off for a couple of weeks. I've haven't got a freighter yet, just slowly building up and exploring. Most of the good stuff I've found that I can't use just yet I've been storing in my ship's hold.

Last thing I did last night was hop out of my ship on a station (to save) then quit. This morning I load up, jump in my ship and leave the station to head to a nearby unexplored planet. On the way I'm getting messages about returning to the site of my death to reclaim inventory but as I didn't die, I figure it's just a random info popup and ignore it.

Land on the planet, run around a bit and very quickly my inventory is full. So I run back to within teleport range of my ship.. and it's empty. Nothing in the hold and one of my tech items is damaged. So the game thinks I actually have died. But I was parked at the station.

I know if you die on foot there's a grave marker but is there the same in space for a ship? And how do I find it?

And yes, I am so pissed about it. I had freighter expansion modules, multi-tool expansions etc, all waiting until I got a decent freighter, multi-tool etc. All gone.

As requested, here's the guide for my version of W40k ship design for corvette [Ship Builds]

Most of the build is based on https://www.reddit.com/r/NoMansSkyTheGame/comments/1nbpayw/praise_the_omnissiah/
And just add Ruined Structures on it on the go, I didnt add it in this vid because it will take too long to adjust it. Cover the Titan cockpit with Ruined Gateway as it will hid the cockpit, make it look blend in with the ruined structures. Lastly,

Praise the Omnissiah!

Constant crashing on PC Gamepass [Bug]

Encountered a game breaking bug yesterday and since then it seems the game integrity has decreased.

I have over a 110 hours game time and haven’t experienced a single crash before yesterday and today I have had over 30 crashes

Crashes are random and also when interacting with something or a npc right when the circle is almost filled to talk with them.

Corvette building also seems to cause a spike in crashes

I’ve verified integrity of game files and have reinstalled the game, has anyone experienced this or knows any possible fixes?

There's something fundamentally wrong with No Man's Sky, and I don't know if it can be fixed [Discussion]

Let me first preface by saying I love NMS, it's my almost perfect game. I have 400 hours in Steam and another 250 in the GoG version before that. I've played off and on since day 1.

NMS is so close to the perfect sci-fi exploration game it's not funny. No other game comes close and the work Hello Games have put in to add new features is frankly mind boggling. But there's something inhenintly broken with NMS that I'm not even sure could ever be fixed.

When you touch down on a planet, you will see almost everything on offer with out even taking a step. You can stand atop your vessle of choice, 360 scan the horizon and assimilate about 80-90% of the world contents. It seems such a waste that a 1:1 simulated planet will divulge all its secrets within a one-mile radius.

But there's also no way to fix this. If you hide the planets secrets in a real way, no one would ever find them because they'd be too widely spread. We'd touch down on the surface, see nothing at all, shrug and move on. All the while feeling more and more frustrated at empty planets.

There are things in No Mans Sky that have always been somewhat broken. All the things that make you think, "why bother?" Why bother investigating that crashed frieghter? You know exactly what you're going to get out of it. Why bother harvesting whispering eggs when you now exactly how much (or little) will be gained. Why bother going into a cave system when you know there's nothing in there worth your time.

How could you even fix this though? When every cave system or crashed freighter is procedurally generated, how do you make each one and interesting and unique experience? I'm not sure you can.

Space stations are another good example. When you land, you know that there are going to be the exact same amenities and even laid out in the same locations. The...

How does multiplayer work outside of Expeditions? [Question]

Hi all! Returning to game from launch quitting and I am playing the expedition with a friend. I was wondering about a few things after we end our expedition: When we end, it moves the game into a regular save, right? Is that regular save a multiplayer world, or a solo world? If we group up after, say, he joins my game, and we hypothetically come across a freighter, does is he able to purchase it (thus, taking that option away from me), or can he not make changes to the world, since its "my game"? Are are games naturally linked at all (if the game is naturally multiplayer outside of expeditions)? Meaning, after we end the expedition, are we in each others worlds all the time, even when offline? Would I be able to, say, visit his base when he is offline?

I probably have more questions, but for now, this sates my curiosity. Thanks!

I’ve never had so much fun with a space game before [Ship Builds]

The corvette building update is super buggy and I’ve lost so many resources and parts to the void, but I’ve spent all my time the past week on making corvettes. This one is an ambassador class corvette the UDS C-01H “Argus” and is my Swiss Army knife of ships. I practically live in this thing now and never land anymore as it’s a waste of resources and time. Only things that could make this update better besides a bug fix are more parts and the ability to edit your corvette at in the freighter.

VR Controls [Question]

Hello fellow explorers, I been playing NMS for about a week and couldn't resist buying a PSVR2 to explore the galaxy. Just curious to see how long it took everyone to get use to the controls? My start was very rough, didn't know how to move until I fiddled in the options then the rest was trial and error 😅 I've think I have the basics down but my gameplay doesnt feel as fluid and smooth as it did on the controller, I get mixed up with the control alot but somethings I do much more efficiently. How long did it take everyone for it to become like second nature once you put on the headset and VR controllers? Love the game even with non being great with the controls, cant say I've ever experienced anything like it gaming except for GT7 I got to play 30 minutes before work which is also amazing in its own genre, hitman 3 being my next and last VR game.

Tritium Crafting Formula [Discussion]

Guys... I had Tritium as an output on my game in the refinery. I am 99% sure I am not hallucinating.

I was just swapping things in and out exploring and I said, Oh wow I didn't know you could craft that. But I didn't proceed with the craft because I had enough.

I think one of the ingredients was di-hydrogen.

We need to start a mission of testing every combination to find the formula!!

I don't care what google search and GPT AI search says. Is there any confirmation that the entire game was datamined and the formula for sure does not exist?? I am certain I saw it as an output while fooling around

Are we truly all together? [Question]

This may sound silly. Are we really all in the same universe in our little ships flying around? It’s hard to believe. Are there different servers running, or are e all out there somewhere together? I see folks at the Anomaly, and I’ve seen folks when I occasionally visit a community highlighted base, but I’ve never seen anyone in the wild. The planets in my home system were all claimed by me back in 2020, but if someone else stumbled upon that system would they see that I’d claimed those planets? I mostly play alone so I’ve never thought much on the subject but I’ve gotten to wondering. I just went to a base of someone else’s through Anomaly and nothing was claimed on planet, seems unlikely that someone built a cool base and nobody who’s visited the whole time it’s been up for people to see has scanned a single tree. Are those places I could have technically found organically through space travel? I’ve never seen another player organically. I have taken some years off but even back when I played every day I never saw anyone even passing through.

Traveling Galaxies Corvette, Game changer [Information]

Found this out due to another player saying they didn't break their corvette traveling from galaxy to galaxy. So i had to test as well. Turns out if you have other mods in your corvette, those mods break (see pic), the ship parts nope.

Makes sense.

Game changer for traveling galaxies, instead of a junk ship-use a corvette with no extra mods. Goes back to creating yet another corvette

My Corvette, Deep Winter. Finally happy with it after at least six total redesigns. Interior shots included. [Ship Builds]

Four decks tall, three habs wide, and three and a half habs long on the central corridor. Just over the complexity limit with the windows.

Cargo bay is bottom deck, with two aft ramps and an elevator towards the front. The main stairwell runs straight from the bottom to the top of the ship, more or less centrally located.

Crew deck is next one up, with a medical bay in the front, a cabin on each side, and a galley/lounge at the rear with a rear facing window and fireplace, because space is cold. The storage box is where I keep my food.

Flight deck above that with a mission board and a window each side with a desk in front of each as "crew stations" Rear facing window looks over the rear hull which I kept clear to use for fishing and things like stargazing.

I wanted a crossbar type of thing, so I built an observation deck above the flight deck. It runs across the whole width of the ship with bubble windows all around for great views. Has an ambassador ramp for access onto the rear hull.

It's decorated sparsely, because I got frustrated with the placement system on non-flat surfaces, and I still wanted to be able to walk around easily.

Want a glimpse of the future of No Man's Sky? Take a look at Starbound. [Prediction/Theory]

This is rather a theory of mine, but it just happens to be a big foreshadow when you think about it. Due to Light No Fire's development being poured into No Man's Sky, this explicitly means that we'll get fantasy themed features, but readapted to sci-fi. Exactly what Starbound did in inspiration to Terraria.

Thus it'd be safe to bet that in the coming future that we'll get: - Melee combat and weapons - Additional ranged weapon types - A overhaul of the cosmetics, now as items you can equip and dye - Character creation, maybe with or without racial perks (the old way would remain as a cosmetic option) - Functional furniture expansion - Musical instruments - Fights with NPCs - Bounty hunting - Dungeon-like structures - Weapon/cosmetic crafting

All of the LNF features we got that already were available in Starbound, for reference: - Deep oceans/Ocean planets - Caves - Archeology - Ships with customizable interiors (and also exteriors, in the case of NMS) - Settlement creation

While there's a high chance Sean Murray and his team doesn't know about Starbound, I'm 50% certain I've accidentally spoiled his entire road map, and if so, oops. Not like this is going to hinder my hype, and possibly yours as well, honestly the chances that at least half of this list is coming to the game are high. If all of that happens to be, we're in for the greatest sci-fi game of all time, if it ain't already (not sugarcoating it)

My first multi-resource farm [Question]

Hello, 1-week-old player here.

Built a few mineral farms before but they're always single-resource. Never built a gas farm before. Now I wanna try out a multi-resource farm. Found and setup a base computer where Paraffinium, Sodium, Oxygen, Nitrogen, and an S-Rank electromagnetic deposit were all within 1000u from the center of the base. Only Oxygen and the Electromagnetic deposit are S-rank, but it's fine. I can compensate with more extractors to hit ~1000/h, right?

So the questions: Did I do it correctly? Since I heard we could extend base range up to 1000u in any direction. How do we do that exactly? For powering up the extractor-groups, I can pull wires from the electromagnetic source and place down a battery for when the wires are "too long" like repeaters to refresh the wire length till I reach an extractor-group's battery cluster, right? How do I go about doing the same with the supply pipes coming from extractors? I assume supply pipes aren't exactly infinite length either.

I probably have more questions but off the top of my head this is what I got.

I just started No Man's Sky a few days ago and have spent a dumb amount of time trying to knock out the exploration guide secondary mission. I've gotten close with three or four planets but the last couple minerals and flora are impossible to find. Whether the planet has 30 to scan or 4 I cannot finish this mission (literally on a metallic plant now with 4 flora and have spent an hour trying to find the last one). I've scanned the marrow bulbs in the caves so it's probably not there. Please tell me there's a scanner available at some point that lets you flag unknown flora/fauna/minerals even if it's just the analysis mode pointing you in the right direction.

No Man’s Sky on Game Pass won’t save (even with beacons, save points, or ship entries) [Bug]

How you doing, folks? I’ve been running into a weird issue with No Man’s Sky on Game Pass: the game just doesn’t seem to save. I’ve tried using beacons, save points, and even entering/exiting my ship, but nothing triggers a save.

It seems unlikely that I need to manually create my own save, since I’ve already found other saves and the game clearly did save at some point. Has anyone else had this problem? Is this a recurring issue specifically with the Game Pass version, or am I missing something obvious?

I’m a bit disappointed, because it’s an incredible game, but since I couldn’t register my progress I ended up giving up for a while.

Expedition Halted until Rain Storm Clears [Screenshot]

With new upgrades towards the DSC-1b Draconian Wall, Crew aboard the science vessel landed upon a planet with a contant rain. As samples from the atmosphere was collected, signs of an intense storm was begining to sprout through the sensors.

Luckily the team of scientists were able to make it back to the ship just in time before the Storm hit. The down pours are recorded to be a sweltering temperatures. The fauna on this planet seemed perfectly adapted to survive such boiling rains, the Draconian Wall will be on standby until further notice. Records of the duration of the rain will be track to see if these storms persist for days or if the constant rainy atmosphere simply forces the storms to be ultraviolent.

Best supercharged slot layout for multi-tool and ship? [Question]

Hey guys,

What's the current concerns on the best layout for supercharged slots for both the multi-tool , more specifically for the sentinel rifle and for a sentinel ship?

I know there's been a lot of mentioned of the square 2x2, and L shape being good good but what other good options are there?

I assume 2x2 is super specific in case you want to dump all the upgrades into damage type and L is being able to spread out the upgrades?

For a ship I imagine L shape might be better so you can pump three supercharged slots on the weapon and one for the boost.

What are your thoughts are there any better options that I don't even know about?

Game crashing on load (PS5) [Bug]

I booted up after finishing Shadow of the Colossus (not sponsored), and I tried to load my save and it crashed. I tried again, nothing. I've tried about 8 times, and nothing but crashes. Is there a fix for this? I'm on PS5 and checked for an update, I was on the latest version, and I even tried downloading from the cloud, still nothing. Help please!

Critically damaged corvette [Question]

So I took my corvette through the galactic core and almost every technology got destroyed on it. I didn’t have the resources to fix it on me so I called in another ship to take me to my freighter to fix it. Well when I got there I couldn’t access my corvette through my freighter and I couldn’t summon it. I don’t know how to get to it to fix it. Any tips?

🚀 [Preview] My exclusive TIE Fighter project – final build & video coming tomorrow! [Ship Builds]

Hey Travelers,

I’ve been working on a custom TIE Fighter build in No Man’s Sky and I’m almost ready to wrap it up. 👨‍🚀✨

The final showcase video will be released tomorrow, but here’s a little sneak peek of my exclusive TIE Fighter project.

Since there aren’t really any comparable builds like this in NMS (at least none I could find), I’m also open to any feedback or tips to refine the details even further.

Excited to share the finished version with you all soon – may the Atlas be with you 😉

Am I alone in finding No Man’s Sky terrifying? [Question]

This game is by far the scariest game I’ve ever played. Everything from the planets to the wildlife to the lack of knowledge. AND THOSE SENTINELS don’t get me started on the darn sentinels. Even when I met Artemis for the first time I was scared out of my mind when he appeared on the hologram. Almost like a jumpscare.

Am I the only one feeling this way? I want this game to be a cosmic journey of discovery and wonder, but I am always on edge and don’t know how to get past this. Does this game scare anyone else? Has anyone else had to overcome this feeling before? I really want to enjoy the game, but it’s just terrifying instead.

Multicrew freighters? [Question]

My friend and I are just starting out in the game and having a blast. We can't afford it yet, but are trying to figure out how to multicrew. Can we do it with a freighter or do we need to have one of us build a corvette?

Newbie in need of some of assistance [Question]

ok folks so im a newbie, just bought the game like 3 days ago, and have been absolutely hooked. Yesterday I tried starting the newest expedition, as im pretty new to such a huge game, I followed a guide on YouTube. Got pretty far, like pretty much completed all the milestones but one!!!! I ran into an issue while attempting “spacewreck”. Me being pretty new to the game, had no idea how to board such a huge ship. I tried a couple of times and finally got around to getting into the actual ship, so far so good. Got through the first door, all is just about fine, but for whatever reason (really can't remember why) i decided to teleport from the derelict freighter back to my ship. and for whatever reason i spawn outside of my ship, all of a sudden I'm flying away from my corvette and the derelict freighter is not there anymore. i sort of panic and close the APP on PS5. come to login again and im missing the “emergency signal scanner”, and im just sort of lost RN. i first tried the help of AI, ChatGPT, in all its infinite wisdom told me to check places like “Scrap Dealer, pace Anomaly (Polo / Helios vendor) and “exus missions”, DeepSeek, Grok and Perplexity came up with fairly similar answers, still no emergency signal scanner in sight ... Can you guys help me out with this? Like, where can i find one of these things? i feel like im so close but at the same time so far far away.

Am I Wrong? [Discussion]

I think we can have both.

Corvettes are amazing and I DO want more corvette parts.

But I have to argue the priority should be to make them more amazing by first improving the parts of the game that aren't:

Multiplayer co-operative gameplay, managing corvette ship systems, manned guns...

Medi-pod and crew birth depth...

Mission depth...

Creatures and pets aboard corvettes (creature smuggling)

NPCs aboard corvettes (transport, bounty hunting, smuggling)

Combat overhaul...

Creature overhaul...

Land POI depth...

Space POI depth...

Animation overhaul...

So many parts of this game still have so much potential.

In love with corvettes and excited for what's next!

Help Obtaining a Giant Worm Egg [Information]

Hi guys- was hoping someone would be willing to produce an egg for the flying worm for me? I'm trying to collect some of the older expedition rewards that I'd missed out on.

#

no way [Screenshot]

No way. I just entered the space station for the first time after starting an expedition, and the very first thing I see is a unique S-class ship. If it weren’t for being in an expedition, I could’ve bought it.
It’s literally the first time I’ve ever come across one like this, and of course it happens when I can’t buy it, even though I’ve got the money 🥲

Fast nanites in pirate systems. [Discussion]

Go to black market shipping and receiving guy. Buy all the suspicious packets tech and arms.

Open them all to get the modules. Sell them next door at the aftermarket upgrades guy.

Costs me about 1.7 mil each time, and I get about 4k nanites. Sometimes you get rare trade good and make up the money you spent that run.

Then you can take portal to another pirate system and do it there. After about 20-30 min they will restock.

My Xeelee nightfighter corvette [Ship Builds]

I'm obsessed with Stephen Baxter's "Xeelee Sequence" series. And from what I've read so far, this is my best attempt so far to recreate the iconic ships of the titular aliens from the series. It's still a work in progress, but it's already starting to actually feel like the image I had constructed in my head while I'm reading these books. Love this update!

Corvette parts over flowing [Question]

My highest priority update feature for NMS (the one addition that will instantly make it my number 1 space game of all time) [Suggestion]

I think Voyagers and ship building really satisfied the craving I(we?) had felt in NMS for not only expression through our spacecraft both of form and function, but also providing a huge variety of scale in spaceships between the human-scaled 'jets' and the much, much larger corvettes for hire and freighters.

Obviously I can think of many nice to have's, but they really wouldn't change the game much, they would rather provide more variety and/or QoL which we have a ton of anyway. But there's something that has been bugging me since day one (yes I did pre-order and I quite enjoyed it on release as well, still have that original save too!) and will be a MAJOR improvement on how myself and others like me feel about and interact with almost (if not) all other aspects of the game. I suspect I'm far from alone in feeling this way and that many people that want this addition would probably instantly put NMS at the top of their space-game list should it happen:

I'm of course talking about the option of a more complex/ hands-on flight model. It doesn't need to be MS Flight Sim or Elite Dangerous, and in - fact even the current flight model is okay if it weren't for the automatic landings and slow-downs and weird behavior at slower speeds and landings.
A much more preferable model would be something that carries a little more inertia and feels more responsive, 6 DoF would be great, though I suspect if the model is more engaging and responsive and therefore has a much higher skill ceiling, even the current fighter jet control model would be enough for most people. The model should allow us to manually land on planets and in planet stations/tradeposts, to simplify implementations, not to mention that it makes in-universe sense - space stations and large freighters beaming and parking you in...

Expedition questions [Question]

This has probably been asked before but here goes:

What are the restraints on moving items acquired in expeditions over to my main save?

Is it limited to the expedition rewards or is anything like rare items, multi-tools and starships fair game?

Do acquired units and nanites carry over from the expedition into my main save?

Broke my Sentinel Ship [Question]

I finished the purge with my sentinel ship active and now it needs a new harmonic brain. I have some Hyaline brains from fighting sentinel ships in space but cant get them to trigger the monolith tag.

Any help is appreciated as I am really struggling with this.

Optimization Stuff [Information]

Just tried out the game with the Voyagers update and I always love to dig deeper into performance settings. Played around with the settings and benchmarks, and the following worked for me: Shadow Quality: High or Enhanced for 2-5% FPS boost over Ultra, balancing sharp shadows with performance. Standard flattens visuals Post-Processing: Ultra for vibrant sun shafts and depth of field, negligible FPS hit vs. High. Drop to Standard for 10-15% FPS gain if sacrificing atmospherics. Reflections: Enhanced for 5% FPS boost over High, using cube maps without SSR. Standard offers another 5% but loses cube-maps. Water Quality: Set to High for 5% FPS gain over Ultra at 4K/1440p, retaining dynamic waves and reflections. Enhanced/Standard loses immersion for minimal gains. Terrain Tessellation: High or Enhanced for 3-6% FPS boost, keeping detailed terrain. Standard (10-15% gain) creates blocky landscapes. Planet Quality: Enhanced saves 10-12% FPS vs. Ultra with minimal flora/mineral density loss. GTAO: Enhanced delivers 5-10% FPS boost over High, balancing occlusion depth. Avoid Off to prevent floaty visuals. Frame Generation (RTX Only): Seems bugged currently, recommended to keep off.

Preset Comparision

I'm not sure what's going on with the frame generation at the moment, is it bugged for anyone else? Also not sure about the stutters in the anomaly yet, if anybody knows anything about it, do let me know. Currently looking into it.

Remove the tiny rocks graphic while using pulse engine travel [Suggestion]

Im sure this has been said before, but the little rocks that dot the screen while youre doing pulse engine travel are annoying and immersion breaking. The view would be much better without them and it doesnt make any sense. The tiny light streaks are plenty to establish a sense of momentum.

Help - NMS Crashes on Launch [Bug]

I keep getting this error message and I'm out of ideas. I have uninstalled the game, reinstalled the game. I checked for Steam client updates, verified the integrity of the game files, updated my drivers, and have restarted four times. I have no idea what this error is or how to fix it. I've been playing just fine the past week until today

Plants that give resources and ingredients? [Question]

So I’ve been playing since launch and I’ve never seen or heard of plants that can also drop ingredients. I found a planet today where certain plants will drop sticky ‘honey’ along with carbon when mined.

Anyone know of other possible food ingredient/ plant or mineral combos? I’m doing more cooking and not having to tend animals or refine a bunch of plants would be sweet.

Pic of plant and coordinates included.

Just a "heads-up" so that you don't drive yourself nuts like I did: You cannot fully upgrade your settlements to "S-Class" without first unlocking "endgame" quests and purple star systems. [Discussion]

Your full settlement upgrade requires 250 Crystallised Helium, which is locked in purple star systems, which is locked behind the Autophage questline. This will leave your first settlement incomplete unless you want to speedrun Atlas and Artemis. So don't even bother trying to upgrade settlements and just do other fun things instead.

I, unfortunately, did not know this and spent a ridiculous amount of time waiting for construction timers and chasing something that is completely unobtainable at my current stage of the game.

Controller Bug? [Bug]

I saw another thread about this, and I can't for the life of me find a bug report(i could be tired it's been a long week) On PC, NMS isn't recognizing my controller. I've tried different games, ports, and controllers. It's only happening in NMS. I tried a couple suggested fixes; rebooting game, PC, and reapplying the steam controller layouts and nothing has worked. It makes the game unplayable for me, as I can't fly with keyboard and mouse. No matter what i set my mouse sensitivity to, it just over corrects, eventually ending in a dizzying spin.

It's also only been since the latest update. Any suggestions? Possibly some help remembering how to bug report too? Lol

Cannot break into parts [Question]

So two times now I've found a a crashed ship, repaired it to a flyable state and taken it back to the space station and when I try to salvage it, the option is greyed out. I can only receive a unit token. They've both been just regular hauler type ships. Searching around it seems there was a bug at one point but I'm assuming that's been since fixed.

AFAIK this is the only way to get components to try and build your own single person ship right? Am I missing something?!?
