S Class ship hunting [Question]

Hello! I'm fairly new to this game, I have about 50ish hours I think. I found a beautiful fighter that I really want as an S class and have been waiting at a station for it for a long while. It's a T2 economy so it should be 1% right? I feel like I'm just being unlucky but I saw someone say in an old thread that you sometimes need to leave the system and come back, is this actually true? If so how would I even know I'd have to do that and that I'm not just getting unlucky?

Flatlands? [Question]

I have been playing for sometime (on and off for 5 years) and I have yet to find large flatlands on any planet. Has anyone ever found flatlands before? I feel like every planet is massive hills.

I wish this game had a real and true survival mode [Discussion]

I want to have to find and eat food, to have to take refuge in a cave, to have my ship break down on a planet, and have to actually walk back to my ship. This would make such a great survival game if HelloGames would focus on it for a patch.

Anyone encounter this bug? [Suggestion]

I keep trying to play with my buddy (we are both on ps4). We are playing on the 1st expedition save file but instead of it being a normal save it's acting like the new beachhead expedition and won't let us in the same server. Any idea on how to fix this?

What’s the name of the Rendezvous 1 System/planet? [Question]

I’m trying to get to the rendezvous 1 system so I can use the Myth Beacon and find this dang thing! However, I seemed to have not landed on the space station or something so I can’t just warp there from the space station. And I cannot for the life of me remember which of these dingy dang systems is the right one to go to. I’m currently floating aimlessly in the Rendezvous 2 system (somehow had it available to warp to)

Sorry this post is long winded. I know this event ends soon and I’m trying to surprise my boyfriend with the Normandy. So I’m eager to get it.

Any help is much much much appreciated!

Are Sentinels scaled somehow? I just started and getting destroyed by Sentinels doing quests for Apollo [Question]

I just started the game 2 days ago and I am up to doing quests for apollo to find the mystery behind the sentinels. On the first mission where he sent me to infiltrate an abandoned korvax building the sentinels that spawned absolutely destroyed me. I’ve fought sentinels before when just regularly exploring, these ones were MUCH stronger and I had no chance of surviving. Since then all the sentinels that I’ve encountered for subsequent missions have been the same insane strength. Questions:

Is there any way to recharge my own personal shield health? (Not the active shield in the multi tool, the passive exo suit shield) It’s all gone in a few shots from Sentinels and then I have no choice to run and then it’s a lengthy chase across the planet which is rather tiresome.

Secondly are Sentinels scaled based on your credits or something? I was in the Anomaly last night and a random player gave me parts worth 1 billion credits. I sold them to free up slots so now I have 1 billion credits. If Sentinels are scaled based on that then maybe that’s why I am getting smashed?

Any help appreciated. Still very much a noob, don’t have a freighter or anything. Thanks

New Ship Idea: Living Room Spaceship [Suggestion]

Have a spaceship that can house 3 additional guests on your spacecraft. They will sit in the living room that has a couch, chairs, a view of space, etc.. If there is enough room in the living room, the pilot can switch to sitting in living room while the ship goes. A great view of space and planets is just a living room away. :)

PS4 to PS5 save data question [Question]

So I finally worked out what happened to my Pioneers expedition awards.

Turns out I had somehow switched to the PS4 version of the game on my PS5. Why this is possible I don’t even know.

So now I have the Beachhead awards on my PS4 save, and the Pioneers awards on my PS5 save (except for the golden vector which is mysteriously still locked).

So I’ve deleted everything but the Pioneers save from the PS4 version. If transfer my PS4 save data to PS5, will it just overwrite all my PS5 save slots, or will it write the one PS4 save into an empty slot?

Do I Need to CLAIM Normandy Before the Expedition Ends? (Already Unlocked Thru Phase 5) [Question]

Hey everyone, I only played the main game for 3 hrs but decided to spend some time today to get Normandy unlocked. I have basically nothing in the main game, no freight ship or the Space Anomaly, is there a quick path to get them unlocked, or can I take my time and claim Normandy at a later date? The special event feels incredibly short for a time-limited event, and I feel the information on this isn't terribly clear for newcomers. Thanks!

Player plotting to kill other players in the next expedition. [Information]

Attention: a reddit user by the name of u/Archybeatz is suspected to spawn kill and camp in the next expedition to come.

I sent him a DM asking if he “thought he was funny” as had posted repetitive comments saying that “I camp at rendezvous spots and kill anyone that try’s to complete milestones” this guy to me seems petty.

His response to me reaching out to him was, quote “Not trying to be funny. I love to PK and I'll continue to. Next Expedition I'm going to do the same, but I'm going to recruit a few buddies and Lock down multiple planets or whole systems at once. Going to start a Space Pirate Union and form a Youtube channel. Will continue until it's nerfed. I'm going to NMS into EVE.”

To me this guy seems like a waste of time.

To avoid this type of encounter in the expedition there are a couple of ways you can avoid altercation with this type of player, reminder that the option for PVP is still available in this game however spawn killing and camping are a petty way to PVP.

If you don’t wish to take part or be targeted for PVP gameplay (by people like this) remember to switch PVP off in the network settings within NMS

You can deactivate Multiplayer as a whole in NMS if you wish to be left completely alone, the setting is in network settings within NMS and set multiplayer to disabled.

Hopefully this gives everyone a warning of this players action in the next and possibly future expedition events.

If I have forgotten anything or if anyone has any further details please include them below.

rerolling S class ships via upgrading an A class [Question]

The thing that bothers me with No Man's Sky. [Discussion]

The planets of No Man's Sky have been getting increasingly more unique over the years and I love it for that. The one thing that bothers me and should be addressed is the fact that the planets are unique but that same planet seen high up in space isn't unique and has been seen so many times before. I've seen those dang brown airless planets and moons so many times in my time playing NMS. These airless brown rock planets are fine since what I see from actually landing on the planet is relatively accurate from what I see in space. The other types of planets however are often not accurate to what they appear like from the surface. Shouldn't glowing planets glow on the dark side of the planet? I visited a volcanic planet that looked like 10 other planets I have already seen from space. If it wasn't for the mission I had on there, I would've never known it was the coolest planets I had ever seen. I find it to be a real problem and kind of killed my interest to keep exploring after finishing the story. It just isn't very fun to think a planet looks cool then to land on it disappointed or think a planet appears boring but is actually really cool.

Left hand keybindings [Bug]

I like to play left handed, since its how I’ve always played. When I try to rebind all my keys to left hand setup using PL:” instead of WASD, the P key keeps opening the menu.

I rebound all my P keys to something else, but P keeps opening the menu, specifically the log. I did some googling and went into the TKGAMESETTINGSFILE but could not find any buttons bound to the P key. This is super annoying and it was already a hassle to setup all the keybindings.

The Severe Problem with Activated Iridium farming [Bug]

I have spent the last 4 hours trying to locate an S class Activated Iridium hotspot, my problem does not persist within the actual locating aspect of this, i personally love the exploration and thrill of the chase in hunting down hotspots, my issue persists within the games inability to accomodate this desire.

​

If it was simply jump in ship, fly to area, scan for hotspot, jump in ship etc. that would be fine, however the game simply crashes constantly within this process, it has never happened before to me and is only an occasional thing, however when one of these crashes do occur, i reload my save, am dropped into the middle of a radiation storm (as usual on these planets) and am met with swift death for some reason. Having just left my ship and it being the autosave slot i am dropped into a constant and repetitive death loop.

​

What the fuck do i do? do you have any tips, i am on the brink of uninstalling this garbage fire at this point.

To the kind random I didn't get to meet [Discussion]

So I just started playing this game again recently after not touching it since launch, and have been having a fantastic time with it. I decided to take a nice night walk after a stressful day and a relaxing but sweaty grind session and decided to just leave the game open in the Anomaly.

What has confused me is some random person decided in that 30 or so minute time-frame to just hand me ~10million units worth of materials. I'm not complaining by anymeans, it's just wild to me someone would just give away resources to some dude just hanging out wasting space. I cannot say I've had any experience like that in a multi-player game before and it completely threw me off.

So whoever you were, thank you, it truly made my day.

Quickest method for di-hydrogen? [Question]

I know it's abundant on every planet, and you can nearly double it by cycling it through a refiner, but I've found it's quickest to just teleport to several space stations and buy the jelly.

Is there any way I can identify in advance which stations will be selling 50+? Does the stock at trade terminals change every day? Is there a way easier method, if I want stacks of 10k so I don't have to worry about frigate fuel? lol

I have two 12 ton/ly frigates. I don't think this is a problem if I make sure to only send them on short missions, but should I just dismiss them and replace with more fuel efficient ones?

My return to Nms and my rushed first experience of Expedition mode [Question]

For the past year my health has been declining and I spent a good chunk of the last few months preparing myself to move back in with my parents for support. So I absolutely missed all the news and the first expedition mode. I only found out about it when someone put a "golden vector" ship in my inventory, which I assume I cannot use. So last night, one day before the second expedition ends, I read up about it and gave it a try.

First thing I realised is that I only have a few save slots so had to delete an 80 hour long game to play it, which wasn't ideal but I doubt I would've went back to it in all honesty. Are there ways to increase save slots or is every platform limited to only a few? Regardless, I started the new mode twice over. The first time because I really didn't think straight and started scanning and mining rather than running to my ship whilst my oxygen depleted. Smart! Once I left the planet everything started getting a lot more enjoyable. I put my invisible mission helmet on and got to work on the stages I needed to complete, ticking future stages off on the way to save some time later on. After a while of ticking them all off I realised I hadn't been collecting the rewards from the menu (I had thought any rewards would be automatic) so I started clicking and - oh wow! Gold upgrade mods, storage increases, quicksilver rewards! I ended up with so much I put a few of the upgrade mods and those starship storage mods in my ships inventory.

Here's where it gets a bit upsetting. At some point during phase 4 I landed at a marker and my ship and I got stuck inside some glitch. I did a quick reload, I quit, I tried tunneling... Eventually I ended up exploding like a bag of popcorn desperately trying to escape the planet's microwave. Luckily I didn't lose anything in my own inventory but everything inside my ship was gone. When I returned...

Don't be me... [Information]

So after completing the Beachhead Expedition I decided to start a new save. Since I didn't finish the first Expedition I was going to make this one my main save for showing off all my fun stuff here on out.

In my excitement, I accidentally accepted the Normandy from the QS vendor before I had acquired a freighter. I thought, "Crap! Well, it should be flagged 'on' in the code, so when I get one it should show up in the fleet."

I was wrong. It doesn't appear in my fleet.

So, don't be me. Don't waste X hours (10 in my case). Wait until you have a freighter before you claim it on a new save.

Newbie Question: How Do I Find My Broken Ship? [Question]

Hello,

I finally took the plunge and started No Man's Sky after hearing of how much work has been put in over the years since release to make it the game the devs wanted it to be.

Had a great time this morning, but, the major issue is... I'm horrendously lost.

I don't exactly know if telling you where I am will make any difference due to the procedural generation of things, but I've only just begun and now I need to return to my ship to repair my Analysis Visor, but I can't find my ship; I can't call my ship; I can't use any map or location finding system to find my ship (if there are any). I am hopelessly lost.

Is there a way to get over this very tiny hurdle, or is a New Game start in order? (That's my last option, as I want my character to experience this confusing terrain and find the ship again).

Late to the party on expeditions, but what am I doing wrong here? [Question]

I realize the current expedition is shutting off soon, I still wanted to check it out once I finally had time.

Still can't figure out though, how to get past the very first step/milestone required on the current one to build the exocraft item, all 3 planets in the system it dumped me in have 20+ bases built on them and keep getting an error that there is a limit of 5 of these items allowed to be built per planet and can't build one to get past this.

I have multiplayer shut off as well as cross play disabled in options/network as mentioned elsewhere.

The new Expeditions save was started as a single player game as well.

[?] Finding my way back. [Question]

About 5 jumps ago, I came across a planet that was just lousy with Buried Technology. Sometimes they were stacked right on top of each other. Often, they weren't even buried and you could just about always see another one from the one you just dug up. It was such a find that, after I had dug my fill, I made a point to write down the planet's name and system.

Unfortunately, it either didn't have a space station, or I didn't think to visit it, because now I can't find the place. There are some 4-year-old posts that talk about iterating through recent discoveries in the Star Chart by hitting "X" but that seems to no longer be true. I've tried starting at a recently found system and just free-looking around it, but I've had no luck.

Other than being smarter next time and remembering to tag the system or build a base, is there a good way to find it in the current interface?

No Man's Sky - Expedition Complete [Question]

Hi everyone

I'm playing on Series X. I've got the latest version of the game and today I've tried to do the expedition to get the Normandy and it won't let me start it. On the screen to choose your new game type, under Community Expedition it says "Expedition Complete" and I can't hold A to start it. But I haven't started the expedition, nor completed it, and I thought it was active until the end of the day on the 31st May which is tomorrow here in the UK.

I've restarted the game, closed it down just in case Quick Resume is interfering, and even restarted the Series X but it won't change for me. Has it really finished, or is this a bug?

Does anyone have any idea what I might be able to do to sort this out? I've had a search online and can't find anything mentioned about it not starting due to the expedition complete message.

Thanks all!

How do you tear holes in the ground? (Holes through which you can see the underside of plants and things, not terrain manipulator holes) I accidentally did it during building, but didn't see how to replicate it. [Question]

During the Communal Habitation nexus mission, I constructed a biodome, a door, and some other stuff. I put the door where the bottom part was submerged in the earth. After deleting both, I found that there was a tear in the ground. It wasn't big enough to walk through, unfortunately, and any attempts to make it bigger with terrain manipulator made it smaller. It did accompodate my camera drone, however, so I got some nice vistas.

What I would like is a consistent way to make these holes so that I could make glass walkways and such under the earth.

Being a companion breeder and egg seller, Not actually viable? [Discussion]

In the companions update, it was mentioned that you could sell or trade your eggs with other players as an interesting new interaction or an opportunity for roleplaying. Today I gave it a shot, I took to the space anomaly offering to sell an egg of my very rare and cool companion (glowing rock golem thing with a rhino horn and pink shrooms on its back), but to no avail. But I was confused because people constantly came up to inspect the companion but I didn't get a single reply in the chat. Then I thought to check my network settings and as I suspected, my chat settings were set to friends and group only, but I didn't remember setting it to that myself. After setting my chats to public, I tried again (reloading the anomaly several times for a fresh crowd), but the same thing happened. And then I theorised if chats being set to private was a default setting and everyone I encountered hadn't thought to change it. Not sure about this, let me know if you can confirm. Anyway, disheartened, I took to the internet, but the only reference I could find to selling companion eggs was on the patch notes and articles about the update, no actual guides, videos of people doing it, or mention on forums. I suspect this claim was thrown in because it's theoretically possible, but in reality only going to happen between friends. So yeah, it's difficult, and I haven't even mentioned that anyone with portal access can use the coordinate exchange to get a design they like for free, or that when selling there's no actual trading system, just dropping into each others inventories, enabling people to not pay or scam.

TL;DR The claim by HG that companion eggs can be traded with other players is unrealistic and not thought out.

Would love to hear everyone's thoughts, and if I'm being dumb and there's an obvious solution to this, please tell me, I want to sell my exotic...

Co-op help [Question]

So if I already have hours in my own save with multiple bases and stuff, and I am going to introduce my friend to the game, should he start his save in my game? Will that spawn him near me and my base or on his own planet needing to survive and fix his ship like everybody else. Should he start a save solo instead then join me after he gets his ship? Any help with explaining how it works would be great thanks!

Community build update? [Discussion]

I was envisioning an update to the game that allows someone to start a base and invite other people to build on it or make it public and allow the whole community to pitch in and creat massive cities or colossal mega bases. It would be so fun especially at the capital of the Hub we could make a giant city. I hope other people would like this. Along with some changes to make terrain deleting permanent because it glitches back all the time. And letting bases be bigger and have a higher build limit. It would be super fun.

New player starting his journey! How/Where should I begin? [Question]

Hey there! Yesterday I picked up NMS and played a few hours.

I have to admit that I'm not really sure, where and how to start. There are some options when I start a game.

So what's the difference between the normal mode and multiplayer? Is the normal mode single player only or can I randomly meet other people?

I started normal mode and realised that the saves are separated so I propably start over new.

What further mode would be recommended for a new player? I hesitated to start Expedition because I thought I might be lacking fundamental knowledge of the game and should "learn" first in normal mode. Is this the case? Or is the Expeditions mode also new player friendly?

Thanks in advance!

Can’t start the Beachhead Expedition today? [Question]

I know I’m late to the party here, but on the official No Man’s Sky page about the expedition, it says “all players now have until the 31st May to undertake this expedition for themselves…” I went to start a new save, and go to choose Expeditions, but it does not start. It highlights, but will not start a new game like the other options do. It says “Expedtion Complete” at the top of the banner. Did they end this early? Is there some sort of unexplained cut off?

I don’t think it’s too much of a controversial opinion to expect to have the full amount of time promised to attempt completion of an event.

The Ultimate Mining Timing [Information]

Let me preface this by saying I just started playing NMS, so forgive me if this is irrelevant to many long timers, but I thought it might be helpful for some.

I was messing around with my mouse macros and I think I found the perfect timings to keep the mining laser maxed out and mine faster without overheating.

Left click for 50 ms, delay 450 ms, repeat.

So I mine until I'm in the red, then hit the macro button and I am mining at max until my laser is depleted. It's been really handy.

Any other tips for getting the most out of our time in the game?

Peace.

I can change it the standard Analysis Search by hitting the 1 and 3 keys, but after I exit the analysis mode, it will always go back to the electrical search as the default no matter what I do. It's an incredible pain to do this every time I want to use analysis, whereas before all I had to do was hit F.

So, I've just had a player visit my base on planet Chip X. A PC player who's name I won't call out but they should know if they see this post.

They tried to ask me a couple of questions via text chat but, being on console, I was unable to respond. (If you happen to see this... nothing special, really. Paradise near Euclid core that somebody posted on Reddit. A handful of us went and built there. You're welcome to join us if you like. Sorry if you thought I was ignoring you.)

This player left through the terminus in quite a rush after having stood there waiting for a response and getting none. I'm unsure if they were aware that we console folks lack any meaningful communication tools apart from oddly subtitled gestures but it's not the first time I've been made to feel rude by means of being resigned to gesturing like a caveman and hoping that some semblance of understanding is achieved.

With the game leaning so heavily into a shared experience between platforms, it feels worse than ever to lack such basic tools, especially considering that both Sony and Microsoft have supported keyboards and mice for quite a while now.

Can't find second free freighter [Question]

Long time NMS player, first time poster in the reddit. Games changed quite a bit!

I read that you get a free freighter by saving one from pirates. I also read that if you decline the first freigher, you'll get a better freighter for free the next time you encounter a space battle.

I've read that space battles require 3 hours in-game time accrued (not in a single session) and at least five warps.

I had my first free freighter come up, so I allowed greed to guide me and declined it. I'm about 12 hours in and over 30 warps since that encounter. I started putting bases on every system I jumped too and gave up after 20.

My process is simple. Jump to randomly select system I can jump to, pulse over to freighters and check for battle. If no battle is happening, I jump to space station, save, then warp out to another system.

I'm getting heaps of freighters come up, but no space battles. Is there anything I can do to improve my chances or am I doing something wrong? I've been at it for eight hours.

What is the purpose of discovering and mapping locations to your database if they are not saved and you cant find it again? [Question]

Now when I have the materials I want to go back. But I cant because there is no list of beacons, map or anything.

What is the purpose of exploring if you cant save your discoveries? Again, I dont have the custom beacon technology yet so I dont know (or care) how that works.

THINGS TO DO before the end of EXPEDITION TWO [Suggestion]

Congratulations everyone on reaching the end of Beachhead, the Second Expedition! This whole expedition thing is rather new, but if there's anything we've learned playing through the first Expedition and starting the second, it's that you want to tie up all your loose ends before the actual Expedition ends.

We don't know how long it will take before Hello Games has another Expedition prepared for us. Best case scenario (or worst, depending on point of view) is that there will be very little time between expeditions before we have a whole new set of goals and achievements to deal with. Because of that, it's a good idea to run through a quick checklist to make sure you are ready.

Here is a list of things you might want to do in the next 11 or so hours....

Decide if you intend to keep your Expedition save game. If this is your first time playing in a long while (or ever), you will be farther along than a newly created toon. Thus, you might want to keep it so you have a head start on enjoying all the game has to offer. If this is a second or later toon that you don't care for, you won't have to worry as much.

Ensure you've claimed ALL the 'top level' Phase patches that you have. The easiest way to do this is to go to the final phase part of the Expeditions tab and click on the Phase One through Phase Five and the capstone patches. Do NOT forget to do this. You may have unlocked the item on your current character but this is neceesary to get the rewards for others on your Profile. I, personally, did not claim the patch that gives my alts the Golden Expedition Flag on my first Expedition character, and now while HE has it, none of my new characters can get it.

If you have a character or characters you consider to be your "Main", go and collect all the Expedition rewards you have unlocked so far from the Quicksilver Item Vendor in the Nexus. It's possible...

I’m curious if the salvage or amount of salvage may improve depending on the wealth vs the lack of for the system. I know that one has the option in the end of the expedition to select a freighter module, usually class C. Is there a chance to get an S class module? Anything I can do to increase the chances for an S class or to increase the amount of rewards I reap from the trek?

The Last Campfire -Also Hello Games [Suggestion]

If you're feeling burned out with NMS you should give The Last Campfire a try. I've owned it on PlayStation and Switch for a while and finally got around to playing it tonight. It's only about 5hrs to platinum and it was a wonderful experience. NMS isn't going to last forever and I think it's important that the community supports HG and its other endeavors so that we continue to get new content from them in the future.

Quick question on terrain regeneration [Question]

so im building a base that requires a bit of terrain manipulation and i'm worried about the terrain regeneration clipping through the interior. from what i understand, the game eventually forgets terrain edits and will regenerate the land to its original form as time goes on, and any buildings that are embedded in the terrain gets "submerged".

i don't mind if the game loads the original terrain, and then my base loads to "hollow" out the space it occupies, leaving the interior intact. i'm just worried the opposite is true and the terrain loads through the base and makes my kitchen suddenly fill with rocks lol. if anyone can let me know i'd greatly appreciate it

A question regarding spaceships (types) [Question]

New player question; I would like a different spaceship, i was happy with my current craft until i did the expedition then i got to try a few others out, and the enjoyment of my normal save craft was ruined.

I currently roll with a Class C Explorer, it has ample amounts of storage and technology slots, however it is ugly AF.

Ideally I would like a fighter but all i have found thus far lack inventor space.

Terrain types and waypoint name generation? [Question]

I have a silly question for a silly task, lol.

I'm trying to put together a list of "garden (numeral}" waypoints. Wiki says these spawn in lush biomes (only?), so I know I only need to check yellow and maybe red stars. Buildings influence waypoint names, so I've had best luck using my ship scanner to find isolated waypoints or trade terminals. Or signal booster, but that finds more buildings.

My question is about low, high, wet, and tree terrain types, since these influence waypoint naming. Is there any way to focus on areas that are likelier to contain gardens? If I get one called "scrubland," does that mean I'm in a "lush-wet" biome and should try a different planet, should I land somewhere else, or are terrain types small enough to run across? The waypoint page is my reference, if that helps: https://nomanssky.fandom.com/wiki/Waypoint

My understanding is that terrain types are small enough to run across and waypoints are farther apart than that, and terrain influences names partially but not totally (you could still get a garden in a scrubland-eligible area, right?), so I don't have much ability to focus my search more specifically. Am I missing something that would make it easier? (The exocraft scanner? lol)

Been awhile since I did Frigate missions on my Freighter and I have a couple of questions.

  1. In the list of Frigates, can someone explain to me how the list is sorted? I couldn't figure it out.

  2. I had two Frigates assigned to a mission and saw the fuel usage was 300 tonnes. So, I thought, "D'oh! Forgot the 'Support' ship" added a Support ship and the fuel usage went up to 350 tonnes. What the heck? Did the way Support ship function change? Or did it just get broken in one of the updates? (These were all S class ships with good stats if that matters)

Time limits on expeditions sucks. [Discussion]

I'm a huge Mass Effect fan who didn't even know expeditions existed until last week. Somehow I'd missed that they were added to No Man's Sky. Imagine my excitement when I found out I could unlock the Normandy with one though!

 

Well, I've been working a lot of long shifts at work the last week or so and haven't had time or energy for gaming. I work in a factory and am so exhausted and sore at the end of the day I usually just eat dinner and pass out. Today I finally had a day off so I logged in thinking I'd have enough time to power through and finish the expedition by the end of the day. It ends at the end of the 31st, right!? Wrong!

 

1 minute 37 seconds to finish expedition, the game tells me. I suppose I was wrong in assuming, when they said the expedition ends on the 31st, that I'd have until the end of the day. Why the heck it apparently ends around 10:00 AM (3:00 PM in England where Hello Games is located) I don't understand but it really, really sucks.

 

From one very, very disappointed gamer, these time limits aren't fun. Especially if you work hard for a living like I do. I can't even express how upset I am. I'd been thinking about, and looking forward to, unlocking the Normandy all week.

 

This really sucks.

 

Anyway, thanks for letting me rant.

AI Ships flying through obstacles? [Question]

I noticed, with great frustration, that pirates are able to fly through obstacles such as derelict freighters as if they weren't there. Is there a mod (or is it possible to create a mod) such that this isn't the case?

I'm playing with only the hard bits of the Fantasy Origins mod, so pirate spawns are much larger and am being shot from way off boresite by them as well. I'm also playing in VR, so aiming is quite hard....I can deal with it all as long as I can isolate the pirates using terrain (so for example if I drag them down to a planet). Was really frustrating having the derelict (and I presume other spaceborne objects) only be a hindrance to me and not the AI though.

PSA: You're probably not playing the PS5 version of NMS on your PS5 [PSA]

I played 70 hours of this game on my PS5 before realizing I've been playing the PS4 version. While the PS5 upgrade does download and install automatically, for whatever reason, the console defaults to launching the PS4 one.

How to tell you're playing the PS4 version:

  1. The adaptive triggers aren't doing much 2) The save game screen offers to "transfer game to PS5" 3) It crashes a lot

To switch to the PS5 version, you need to select NMS in the launcher, tap the menu button and then select "Game Version".

Do people have to start a new character when joining you, or can they take their stuff from Singleplayer with them?

Even though my friend joined me, we both have save files now. How would that work if we decide to continue playing alone, or will one of us have to start from scrap again?

Collecting Stuff and limitations + Ideas! [Suggestion]

Well, I returned to the game when Expedition 1 launched, and got hooked (again). There were so many things I had never done! I really love this game and everything it has to offer.

I think that a game of this scale CANT please everyone with its updates. Some of us enjoy base building, others enjoy farming, others exploring and so one.

But I think we ALL love collecting stuff to a certain degree. And while NMS has its fair share of Collectables, the game forces you to make ¨hard choices¨. For instance:

--SHIPS, FREIGHTERS AND FRIGATES--

Limited to 6 Starships, you cant have one of each type anymore.

  1. Expedition Reward Golden Vector

  2. Hauler

  3. Explorer

  4. Shuttle

  5. Living Ship

  6. Exotic (and calamari ships are really different to the others, so they might count as 2 types)

  7. If you want a fighter that is NOT the golden vector, you already are out of room for one

Could we get a companions-like menu to store additional ships? There are so many to collect, and it pains me to find a badass S tier ship to realize that I need to sacrifice one of the others.

Then, we are limited to 1 freighter. I understand this might be hard coded into the game. But then we are also limited to 30 frigates and 5 Expeditions per day. And some expeditions take more than a whole day to complete! I think unlocking extra expeditions and frigates could be done by using salvaged frigate modules (Since after you are done upgrading the tech they have little use) or a new freighter base piece. This would give some sense to the ENORMOUS space we have to build inside our freighters.

--COMPANIONS AND MULTITOOLS--

Again, this seems weird. Why launch a new feature and ALSO have a limit of 6 companions? You cant alter genes, have lots of Eggs, etc, but you are still limited to 6. This one seems pretty simple to fix since it is a menu. Put absurd...

SPOILER question abouth the story SPOILER [Spoiler]

So yes spoiler

So i finished both main quests and i loved the lore. But some things keep in my mind busy. Mayby i missed it but as the story goes ATLAS was "just" a program and activates Protocal 16 wich resets it. The 16 glyphs are (i gues) conected as when the countdown starts the glyphs are being taken away 1 by 1 as a timer.

So how do the glyphs connect to protocals wich connect to portals...its.kinda fuzzy

Also WHO actually made ATLAS, as in 1 recording he talks to a person who he realy fears and states that its time to reset him again as the player(who also has the power to reset him) withness.

And i also found it weird that of all the ATLASes ive encountered a vew were acctually way different in looks but its supposedly all the same 1, as the lore says ATLAS is in every galaxy core at once. Yet 1 was so weird it was a white light with the 3 races flouting in it like that scene from Death stranding....

Expedition 3 suggestion [Suggestion]

We got a flyable ship in the first expedition, then we got a support frigate for our freighters in the second. what about a multitool in the third one? there are plenty of iconic weapons in Sci-fi that would fit well in NMS so there is plenty of opportunity for crossovers. TLDR; Maybe the third expedition should reward you with a multitool. If there are any specific crossovers that could work as a multitool leave them in the thread.

No Man's sky expeditions is a distraction from the problems No Man's Sky E.g. Lack of meaningful exploration, planet diversity/repetition, and lack of challenge in the game. I really hope Hello Games stops trying to force No Man's Sky to be this big MMO when it just doesn't work, I mean people don't even interact on these expeditions you rarely see videos of people playing together maybe the rare PVP arena video. Lastly, expeditions takes the game from being a laid-back experience into a time-limited grind which forces you to play with the risk of missing out.

Will owners of physical copies on Xbox One get a Xbox Series X copy for free? [Question]

I read the patch notes for the Next Generation Update. But I don't see any specific details on whether owners of a physical copy of the game will get the next gen version free upgrade that was mentioned in the update.

I know it's possible, but not all games that support "Smart Delivery" support physical copies being upgraded.

It would be helpful to know as I figure out how much value and next generation console will have for me.

Just to be clear, I have a physical copy of the Xbox One version of the game.

If physical copies are supported, I would assume that I would just put in the physical copy in the Xbox Series X and the Series X will download the next gen version. Is that the correct process?

Additionally, would I have to keep the Xbox One disc or would I get ownership of the digital version of the next gen game?

I was really hoping to see them in the quicksilver store or having something to do with updating the exporers guild, but it's all locked behind Expeditions. The Normandy was the strangest one to me, releases a cool frigate from a single player rpg in a seasonal multi-player game mode.

I have nothing against Expeditions, I'm really happy that so many people love them! I'm just wondering if any of the rewards are going to become available to the players that can't or won't participate in them, and if not why?

Let me know what y'all think, this isn't a post to flame the devs or the game mode, just to talk about really feeling left out or demotivated by some cool content locked behind a new game mode.

How to approach game? (New player) [Question]

Hey guys, I just started playing and I'm having a lot of fun. I've been doing the quests I've been assigned and I'm currently at the Anomaly. I have 7 hours of gametime so far.

I'm really enjoying the game, but I'm just trying to understand something: I know that this game is really a big sandbox, and you can approach it however you want. I'm just trying to understand, how long should I continue the story until I find other things to do in game?

It sounds like a stupid question, but I'm just trying to understand the end goal of the game, as well as the general path people follow. Any advice to a new player like me would be very helpful!

How are you meant to know that expeditions are timed unless you look for it? [Suggestion]

I'm a new player on steam with 20 hours game time and I'm basing this off only playing the game itself, having not browsed social media. Not gonna lie, I'm a bit salty about missing out on the Normandy but I think this is a larger issue for expeditions as a whole for newer players.

The main menu doesn't show you any notification about the current expedition. If you click on a new game it will say "time-limited", but why would I click "New Game" if I'm just been playing on my first save as a new player?

The patch notes don't mention any dates. As far as I was aware, because I have barebones knowledge about the game, this was one of those missions you do at the Nexus, since the weekend missions are timed and I was just not far enough in the game/main story to unlock the "expedition missions".

I've kept myself from looking up everything to make playing the game more rewarding by discovering/learning as I go, so I've barely looked at youtube, the subreddit or the wiki.

To any Hello Games staff that are maybe reading, please make it clearer for people playing the game that it's a timed event for the cool rewards that they want. I love your game and I'm gonna play at least another 200 hours, just slap another square icon on the front screen about the expeditions. I want to experience your new features but it feels like I was left in the dark.

n.b. For an example of what I'm talking about, look at Overwatch. They have their anniversary event running right now. On the front screen they list the time until the event ends and also when you click play you can see another timer.

I am disappointed. A rant. [Question]

This game has been very important to me. I have been playing since the Next update. Prior to that, I was unable to purchase video games. But I did think about it, dreamt about it, and yearned for it. Followed it from the day it was announced. Wanted to try it, though I could not afford it, though it had bad reviews. I had faith it would be a Good Thing.

Then, my girlfriend got it for me the day after the Next update came out, and it went on sale. I found that, whatever had passed in the game before, it WAS good. I loved it. It was perfect. Even what some people thought of as bugs were perfect. It was imperfectly perfect. Then the updates came. All the way through to the latest. 15 or so major updates free of charge. Amazing... Astounding... Perfect.

I began focusing on Permadeath. My time is normal mode had ruined me. Dying only meant you respawned at your lady save and all your stuff was at your floating diamond "grave". Now dying meant you lost it all. Including your time. Gone. I died many times. I started over many times. Finally, a week or so ago, I decided I wasn't going to die anymore. I began a new permadeath. I was careful. I progressed smoothly. I even took the expensive gifts I received at the anamoly and gave them to others. I wanted to earn everything. I had goals. I meant to meet them. I was playing straight and it was good.

I had found a very nice planet. It had storms but they did no damage. It had activated indium. It had warm sunny days and nights full of fireflies and glowing plants. I landed and found a b class power supply 45 unit from where I lit. I found an a class activated indium deposit 255 units from that. I built my base, with all my storage rooms, was building up the mine and power supply slowly. I even got lucky and got a full sized venator a class freighter first try on my 10th warp.

Cure for frame-rate hitches on PC? [Question]

Hi Reddit- I'm experiencing framerate hitches on the PC version of NMS.

Particularly when flying up from a planet back into space, just at that point of transition, the game somewhat freezes for about 0.2 seconds. Not very long, but still, enough to be annoying.

As well, when in space, the stars that streak past often glitch out and spasm all around like they're on crack.

Lastly, during the initial loading sequence when booting into the game, there are a lot of hitches here as well.

As well, with HDR on, there are a lot of crushed grays where there should be colors.

My hardware: NVIDIA 3080 RTX, Intel 10900K CPU (not overclocked), 64GB RAM, 1TB NVME SSD. Game is running at 4K with VRR enabled.

Now yesterday my GF bought an Xbox Series X, and I was curious how NMS would run on it, so I tried it. It plays absolutely flawlessly on the Series X with no hitching or weird HDR issues.

Of course my PC should have far better performance than the series X, so I figure I must have something configured wrong. Does anyone know of any resources on how to properly setup a Windows PC to play NMS without dropping frames?

Thanks.

At 727 hours, on my one normal save, I finally hit the overall construction limit [Build]

At first I thought it was a bug, or the limit for one base (though not very complex), but I hit the overall construction limit of 20,000 pieces per game save (on Xbox One, on my normal save, with the complexity limit OFF.)

This was on the Budullanger (SP?) galaxy and doing them in order, without really a "lot" of bases (most in Euclid); I also use the prefab round building a lot, so it isn't like I'm building something intricate with lots of pieces.

The limit is 20,000 pieces per save game, which I never really thought I'd hit. So I've been going back and really "cleaning up" old bases that I'd like to keep. It seems to even count "wires", since I'd delete a couple and then could make a couple other things before I hit the limit. I wish there was a way to tell how near you were to the limit, rather than just suddenly not being able to add another piece.

It kind of puts the kibosh on the feeling of an "infinite exploration" game. As others have said, this limit really makes no sense since my bases are not "complex" ones that will give people (especially on consoles) low FPS; rather the problem is that I hit the limit across ALL my bases and all visited galaxies, which are not complex at all since I'm on the Regular Xbox One and they'd give ME low FPS if they did.

Almost all of my bases follow the formula of a round prefab, with a couple refiners and the round thingie you buy stuff from, and then only the needed extractors for electricity/mining/gas extraction with the needed storage depot things. Now I'm having to go back and clean up and even delete many bases, which I kind of like being out there in case some random player bumps into them for the resources.

When a player visits one of my bases, even on console, they are not incurring an FPS limitation due to ALL of my bases across ALL galaxies. The overall limit makes...

How exactly do the game saves work? [Question]

I got about 9 hours into the game when I decided to start Expedition #2 and get me the SSV Normandy. I had only just started hunting down Artemis, and had/have no clue what "Atlas" is. Definitely still a beginner.

I played through Expedition #2 and got the Normandy, yay! Apparently now two things have happened: My Expedition save converted to a "normal" save. The Normandy is available from... any of my saves? Just one? Two?

I don't actually see the Normandy anywhere on my (older) Main save, but I presume that's because I don't yet have a freighter/fleet.

I'm not clear what the relationship is between my previous "Main" save, and this new (formerly Expedition) Normal save. Should I resume playing this low level character with no technology and crappy upgrades just to experience the main story? Should I just keep going with my Expedition save (which has a freighter, tons of upgrades, and loads of resources) and try to figure out all the back story as I go?

Help with Atlas quest requested [Question]

Hi fellow travelers!

I've been playing No Man's Sky with my boyfriend and having a blast in a year that we can't really visit new places irl. However, our multiplayer experienced has been plagued with bugs, and the one thing that I'm more upset about is: completing the Atlas Path. So I'm asking you for any tips you might have!

We are just stuck in that part of the game now, unable to proceed with quests. Following some guides online, we started by getting all the way in the main story to having the Anomaly, then we jumped into the Atlas Path. I'll spare you the long story but suffice to say after we tried everything we could think of we're still stuck in the following situation: the Atlas indicator disappeared off our logs and every time there's a terminal and we submit yet another "Heart of the Sun" it just tells us some stuff before showing the only option as "Leave" (we never saw any option about birthing the star). Talking to Nada gives us nothing new (only "Leave" option again) and Polo keeps giving us the coordinates to Atlas and Black Holes - the Atlas ones do not show after trying this more than once, and following the Black Hole did nothing to alter this either. We also tried doing it in multiplayer and singleplayer separately, with the same outcome.

Now I'd love to continue with the game's main quest, but I if I understood correctly that's going to make it impossible to fulfil Atlas? And even if its reward aren't anything special, it feels like a lot of time wasted after dozens of jumps to get all the terminals plus materials for the orbs only to not be able to see its end now.

Any help, advice and tips are appreciated, thanks in advance!

YOU CAN STILL GET THE NORMANDY ON PS4!!! (Obviously PC can still get it via mods, don’t know about Xbox, this method might work for it but can only personally confirm for PS4) [Information]

It’s a headache to do after the end date on PS4 but after several hours I was able to make it work!!!

TL;DR Wanted the Normandy in a bad way but found out about it too late. Watched a YT video and was able to combine the knowledge from the video with a lot of willpower and luck to get it to work

So the first thing you want to do is change your date/time. I put mine to 5/26 (a few days before the event went away at the time of posting). Then, ensure that you disable the feature that automatically updates the time when connected to the internet. Then, disconnect from the internet. From there, assuming your game is currently updated, you should be able to start the expedition.

Once you start, I used this guide (https://youtu.be/OzpP3n5cjZE)to get it ASAP. This guide is extremely useful.

MAKE SURE YOU READ THE TEXT ON THE VIDEO TO SPEED UP THE PROCESS! The on screen text tells you to, A. Build a home base on the first world you spawn on to teleport back to once you acquire the “Myth Beacon” (the item that summons the Normandy). This is because the Normandy spawn location is only 1-2 jumps away from your initial Expedition spawn

B. Use all of your Alien Cartographic Data (ACD) to select the Dosimeter reading options on whatever the ACD finds to avoid having to do a mission to acquire extra quicksilver on the Nexus

Then, the next part is the tricky bit. Once you have enough quicksilver (80 quicksilver) and you have visited enough alien sites, you can then visit the Nexus to buy the “Myth Beacon”. However, you cannot purchase it from the quicksilver vendor without being connected to the internet, and once you connect to the internet, regardless of what date you have your PS4...

Does every planet have the potential to have an S tier electromagnetic hotspot? [Question]

I am relatively new (got this game like two days ago) and I just got a survey device because apparently you need that for Palpatine’s unlimited powaaahh with the electromagnetic power device jawn. I want to set up all of the mining devices because my planet is primarily copper, uranium, and cobalt. Just wanted to know if I would be wasting my time looking for an S tier hotspot

We need Manufacturing! or QoL update! [Suggestion]

I really wish we had some sort of “building” or “construction” or “manufacturing” type units to use. I find myself making Metal plates in mass quantities, and my fingers are getting tired of spamming the button. OR, if Hello Games, or the community does not want manufacturing buildings (or units like Refineries) then at least let us input the qty we want to make instead of spamming the same button a thousand times!! :D And maybe allow us to turn in x qty of units for reward instead of having 1,000 food items turn them in 1 at a time. Sorry, just my 2 cents on where this game really needs improving. QoL for sure right now!

I need base building tips... [Discussion]

Ok, so I've been playing NMS for about three or four years now (usually in creative, never really was fond of survival.) I like to think that I'm pretty good at building for the most part, but when I started seeing some of the bases around here I was just immediately blown away. How do y'alls bases look so good?

Unable to build several structures I've unlocked (PC - Steam) [Question]

Just came back to the game a few days ago after ~3 years. I'm trying to build a new base (on my old save, which has completed the Atlas/Artemis quest lines, if that matters) but I don't seem to have access to all of the construction pieces I've unlocked. For example, none of the cuboid structures are showing up in my build menu, but I know I've unlocked them. I even went back to the Anomaly to double-check that I had, and they show as having been purchased. Am I missing something, or is my save bugged? Other blueprints that I've unlocked since returning to the game work fine, which makes me think I'm just doing some mechanic wrong. Ty!

An idea for an update for your Discoveries [Suggestion]

I'm pretty much a discoverer player now, and have been jumping from star system to star system. I was naming my planets and stuff but since the overhaul last year (or the year before) where some systems gained new planets, I have had to go back and try to discover those new planets. Here's where my issue and a suggestion to fix the issue comes in.

Some of the systems have lost their space stations and can't be accessed anymore because you can't put a waypoint on the system in the galaxy map anymore. Or some players (myself included) may have forgotten to go to the space station and accessed the portal so it registers in your locations.

So my suggestion to fix this is this, maybe, on the discovery panel itself, when you are hovering over the star system's name, it shows you the name of the galaxy it is in, as well as its portal code (for the planets inside the system) so you can jump to it from a portal.

And also, maybe add the ability to unregister systems and planets from your discoveries, because since the merging of the discoveries across all platforms, some of the places I've discovered have been previously claimed, and I don't wanna hold planets in other players systems (ocd).

Please give us a heads up about stuff like the Normandy much earlier the final week of an Expedition. [Suggestion]

I am probably going to get a few dislikes for this, but these are purely just my opinions. I find turning the Normandy into an easter egg; while surprising, was a poor choice. I didn't even see the news about it till today. I love you guys, but this was a curveball I wasn't expecting. Especially around the Elite Dangerous Odyssey launch. Been preoccupied with that. I would've much preferred the Normandy being listed as a possible reward at the beginning of the Expedition so I could've planned to work towards it.

​

Now don't get me wrong, not trying to be entitled here. Entirely my fault I missed out on it and I accept that fact. I do hope the Normandy is obtainable sometime later down the road. Just having only a week from its discovery to the end of the expedition just feels like I am being rushed had I known about the Normandy.

​

Anyways, that's just my two cents on it. :P I am going to pop back into Odyssey and wait for the next expedition announcement.

Suggestions from an old fan [Suggestion]

Hi everyone! I've played NMS since the release date. (Even preordered lol). This has been one of the best games I've ever played and I love how the Devs always listen to the community.

This is why I want to respectfully suggest some features that i would like to see in the game, and I think a lot of people want them too.

-Cities. I mean, they never promised that, but it would be awesome to see cities in some planets (or even entire city-planets like Couruscant or something). This even could be a feature to add housing to the game. Some things like sleeping, eating, partys, renting rooms, idk, that kind of things.

-In addition, I would like to see a formal system of guilds/federations/organizations. This could create the oportunity to create a lot of cool things, like pvp, wars between organizations, control of this orgs. over certain systems, and that kind of things.

-Edition of Ships: This is a long asked feature. Would be awesome to change colors, or even some of the parts of the ship.

-Vivid space stations: This could mean bars, restaurants, music, and the option of making the stations an intresting place to hang out.

-Driving the Capital Ship of your fleet: I know this is a hard one, but it would be awesome.

-Something that isn't in the game that was showed to us in one trailer is the existence of planets with clouds instead of terrain, and islands floating in the air with forests. This is the kind of planet that I always wanted to explore. Hope we can see them soon.

-Gas giants. This could be added like I said in the previous point. They could even add some kind of structures or city/town/station inside the planet floating over the clouds or something.

-Hope we can see really dense forests. Or jungle-like planets, this would be great to explore and create a new sense of exploration.

Newbie freighter questions [Question]

I have a few beginner's freighter questions.

  1. Is it worth it to use upgrades on my starter freighter, or should I be expecting to replace it with a higher class soon?

  2. Do they make planetary bases mostly obsolete? Is there anything besides auto-mining minerals that I can't set up on a freighter?

  3. Is there a power limit on the freighter? I notice I can build things (like a galactic trade terminal) that say they require power and then just automagically work.

For context, Im still pretty newish. I started playing with Expedition 2 and then started a new survival save. Progress-wise I'm around 18m credits and flying around in an A-class ship and my freebie C-class freighter. I started a few "four walls and a ceiling" planetary bases, but nothing serious. Just unlocked a ton of base upgrades at the Anomoly.

(FLUFF) Personal Log: Kabalis Valdyrsson, Commodore, Nomadic People's Alliance: 1/6/21 [Fan Work]

The refit of the Endeavour continues to gain momentum. Almost all critical systems essential for deep space travel have been installed. Only the engine core is left to be installed before we're able to cast off. I know I make it sound so simple a task for such a monumental ship system, but we have already begun installation. I'm relieved that we're getting so close!

I've hired an ambitious agricultural expert by the name of Assistant Upidalvi. He's given us the instructions on how to establish a self sustaining food supply via hydroponics. He's also confident that we would be able to establish a circuit board production line using the same facilities. 12 plants in total if I understand his instructions clearly.

I've decided to bump myself down to the rank of Commodore. I'm hoping to gather more and more ambitious explorers into the NPA and reserving the rank of "Admiral" for the one elected to lead the alliance. It would be arrogant of me to presume myself leader of the Alliance, simply because I founded it.

My plan is an ambitious one to say the least: To venture to all galaxies in the known universe and establish a terminus network at the center of each. Once this network is established, I will begin guiding other travelers to these locations with the hopes they'll do the same. The more people who have access to this network, the more accessible it will become. I will make the universe accessible to anyone and everyone with desires to explore the virgin universe. I know others have ventured but have left no trail in their wake.

I plan to make the official call for anyone to join my cause soon...

I'm 25 hours in on a permadeath run, followed NMS since 2016 but didn't play. These are my thought so far. [Discussion]

I did read a few reviews in 2016, thought much drama was happening, thought both sides had decent points but also was aware that Hello Games was a tiny team dedicated to this game for a long time so didn't really buy into the whole dead on arrival trope that all the hysterical "angry gaming youtubers" love to peddle so much. I'm skeptical about everything, even my own tastes in gaming so whatevs. I followed NMS on the side, but never dove deep. I knew I was going to play NMS at some point so I figured I'd find out for myself. That point was last Saturday.

So anyway as I usually do, I dived straight into permadeath and after dying about 15 times in the first 5 minutes (god damn sodium), I managed to understand things, then reach my ship and kept that run going while the different elements of the game fell into place as I played.

These are random thoughts, it's not a review structured in good or bad points. I'm just a fresh soul in here, rambling away.

​ Game is fucking awesome. I'm gonna be playing this past the 100 hour mark 100% confirmed.

​ Survival isn't difficult enough for my tastes, when compared to Subnautica or The Forest. The threatening aspect subsides quite quickly. Sure, I've put myself in some shit every now and then but nothing cold-sweat inducing or too terrifying except a bunch of game crashes that looked suspiciously like permadeath-by-glitch but didn't destroy my save, thankfully. Light survival elements is fine though, so I'll take it. I just enjoy really grueling survival games in general where you never feel safe at all. Obviously The Forest and Subnautica are absolute gems of this idea so it might be unfair to compare NMS to them, because it's so much more. I would like a survival game that doesn't revolve around nursing an assortment of decreasing progress bars, but...

controller disconnecting Xbox One [Bug]

So I'm playing on Xbox One using a new Microsoft Xbox brand controller, and I'm having a problem with my controller disconnecting while trying to play this game. It only happens with this game I've tried every other game on my console and it works fine so I figured it had to be a problem with the game itself. Everything works fine until I actually load up my save file and get into the world and then as soon as I start trying to do something the controller disconnects and the light on it starts flashing. This happens whether I'm using Batteries or if I have the controller plugged in with the wire. It also has nothing to do with a loose connection or a certain way I'm moving or holding the controller. I have already tried laying the controller down and pressing the B button to back out of the controller disconnection notification and then as soon as I get back out of the menu it disconnects again without me even touching the controller or hitting any other buttons. It also does not have anything to do with the controller being out of range as I am only a couple feet from my Xbox. I know it has to be something with the game itself I'm hoping somebody else has had the problem and figure it out how to fix it. Any help or advice would be very much appreciated.

Immediately noticed how much louder everything in the environment is compared to before. My base is on a relatively serene paradise planet, with a trading outpost nearby, but suddenly the sounds of other ships flying over is deafening. It's a constant deluge of ships literally screaming overhead. Did something change? Did background noise get dialed up to 11 at some point?

Custom Exocraft [Suggestion]

Due to the nature of Shiphunting being a large part of the community, Starship customization is a hotly debated topic. So why not have custom exocraft? From a assortment of prefabricated parts, players could be able design custom vehicles and specialize them as they wish. Each part has its own benefits and drawbacks.

Reasons for my proposal: Exocraft have become slightly redundant and obsolete over the years A balanced system of benefits and drawbacks will prevent one build from being completely overpowered or result in player burnout Depending on the implementation of the system, players may be encouraged to spend more time exploring on planets This can be implemented along with a host of balance changes to other exocraft

Multiplayer base building [Question]

Hey guys

Im returning to the game after 3 or so years, along with a few friends. Our plan was to get together and build a base. To do that we were going to go to one of our friends current bases and start from there. However, we can only teleport to the host's base. The other players bases cannot be teleported to by other players, unless they own them. Ones of us transported to their base and the rest of us got inside his freighter and he summoned it. No deal. We just reappeared outside on our ship.

This indicates to us that in order to have a shared base, the original host has to be playing, which is not always possible.

So my question is: do you guys work on a shared base? If the original host is offline, can you still work on that shared base? Are there alternative strategies to make this work?

Help with Bio-Domes [Question]

So I've been away for a long while and came back to try my hand at Expedition 2. Had a little fun, thought I'd check in on my old stuff, and remembered partly why I hadn't. I had built a little circuit board farm that I'd meant to expand and got distracted by another game, then came back to find out power requirements were a thing and couldn't be arsed at the time to figure that shit out. Now I've got a horrible solution of about 50 solar panels and 28 batteries figured out (that I've had to scrap and will redo later due to forgetting the cardinal rule...always save after a big project before you screw around).

I forgot that you have to leave your bio-domes floating because Atlas forbid they look supported. So I had gone around doing "final touches" dropping supports under everything, saw that it left an ugly hole in the room I could fall through, and then realized that deletes the plants too. Shit. Ok, just delete the supports and replant...except now I can't plant thing next to the door like I had originally. So I tried deleting the hallway, still wouldn't let me plant in those spots. I filled all the other holes...still couldn't plant in those ones. Did I just manage to bug my bio-domes when I first set them up like 3 or more years ago? Pictures for illustrative purposes. A room that's got my frostwort next to the doors, a room that won't let me plant there, and proof that I can still plant in that room. Just not there. Because as I recall this particular set up let me do one circuit board per room. And where I built it isn't really conducive to just leaving floating bio-domes, I won't be able to access them easily.

I mean, the historical data reading thing, had A LOT of lore. There's no way it was just a crossover. It even mentioned "16" which, as we know, the next update is the 16th update.

So... could all of the lore that was mentioned, be features of the next update?

I know the "prism" thing got tweeted, and it could just be supporting pride month, or somehow hinting the next update.

But the ship seems very important, possibly a tease.

Why were we given a weapon? Unless.... we need it to fight against some unknown force.

Freighter Purchase Screwed up my Base [Bug]

I found this dream freighter that was near perfection. An A class with 34 slots of space and a nice blue and black color design. I decided to sell my old freighter for this new one as I luckily had enough units to purchase it at the time. Now what I didn't know is that anything you have in your old freighter just disappears; it doesn't transfer to the new freighter. This is horrible news to me, as I had used my old freighter as my mobile base because I thought the advantages of being mobile didn't necessitate the need for a base on a planet. I placed everything valuable in my old freighter: My ships, rare materials, and even my scientist and armorer - but they're all gone! I still had a quest to finish with the scientist but he doesn't even exist anymore! Will I never be able to finish this quest? Will I ever be able to retrieve my old items? My ships? Someone please help me understand how this works.

Thank you.

Still junk [Bug]

Everyone saying this game is better than release must be on something. Finally bought the game few days ago, play ten hours just to load a save jump in my ship and have it no clip through the ceiling and blow up destroying all my materials. No matter reloading and messing with different takeoff strategies the ship always goes right through the ceiling. Imagine having hardcore in a game that just kills you with a bug. Game and development literal joke.

Repairing relations with aliens I’ve wronged. [Question]

Once upon a time, automated farmers did not exist in this game. Neither did power requirements. Before these updates came along, my go to method for some materials was piracy. Not random targeted though, as I knew it would affect my faction standing. I chose to wage war with the Vy’keen. They watched me scuttle frigate after frigate, only to land in the space station to avoid the wrath of the sentinels. Now, years later, I’m in a predicament. I’ve hopped back into the game, powered up my base that had gone dark (due to previously having no power requirements) and set up farms. I now am focusing on milestones, and took a peek over at the Vy’keen. I am 361 levels away from reaching the first rank of standing with them. What can I do to make the peace talks go smoothly?

TLDR: I waged war on the Vy’keen and now want them to like me with -361 levels of respect from them. How do I fix this?

Is there a point to building massive bases besides showing off? [Question]

Don't get me wrong, I love the game to death. However, with games like minecraft building big bases has advantages because you literally need the space for storing items, crafting stations, farms, furnaces, etc. With NMS, almost all of the stuff you would normally put in a base can just put on a freighter. There's no real point to making animal farms for food, plant farms have some use however you can just buy those materials. And considering most useful technology can be placed in one room, what's the point of building these massive bases that I see on the update photos and trailers? Even with the attached photo, all of the useful technology can fit into one of those rooms, to me it seems like all of the added buildings are unnecessary. Again, not hating, I love the game, just a thought that I keep having and would like a second opinion.

I just begun my journey... [Question]

Hello!

I just found out this game... (yeah i know it's out since 2016, but i'm not usually fan of survival/sandbox games) and it's really great! But after about 10h+ now i have so many questions..... I will just ask few here if you don't mind (i love to discover new things at every game session).

I just found the exonef build plan, but it seems to be lock where you build it. Is there any build version that you can load on your ship?

I'm struggling with my 1st exploring Vy'ken quest who ask to "completly" (i guess) discover Flore/living creature/Mineral of a planet.... For the living creature the guide help a little so it's kinda easy but for the other 2, i'm always struggling with the last 2-3. Does some upgrade/build help with this?

Last night i just find a huge portal in the middle of nowhere (not the one pin with a violet whirlwind) And with just some archive log... Can it be repair or activate? It seems to have link with the sentinel...

Last one... Can we pin or see coordinate of specific point on a planet? I know the 'F' then 'E' pin but it's just a temporary thing, i'm asking about some "waypoint" kind of pin. I just found a ship in bad shape but better then the one i have right now, so i wanted to take care of it later but i lost it :D

​

Thanks in advance for your answers, i will now return to lost myself on a random planet (and enjoy it)

Frozen Planets would realistically be uninhabitable [Discussion]

So, I was looking through my inventory this one time, when I noticed that Dioxite, the "metal" from Frozen Worlds, had the Chemical Formula of CO2.

Dioxite is Dry Ice.

Dry Ice is the solid form of Carbon Dioxide, and starts forming at -78.5°C(109.2°F, 194.7°K). As Carbon Dioxide is exhaled by all animals, this means that the internals of the Fauna would be instantly killing them. Flora would also be unable to survive, requiring CO2 in order to conduct Photosynthesis.

So, all in all, you don't want to visit that Winter Wonderland Planet IRL

One touch Photo Mode on console - possible? [Suggestion]

Hi all, on PC you can use hotkeys to map photomode (plus other useful stuff) to a single button press

This makes it much easier to take certain photos that involve timing (jumping, environmental context, other ships, etc)

I bought the antimatter jetpack and I've been trying to get a picture of me using it but on Xbox by the time you open the quick menu and go to photo mode your jetpack isn't firing anymore

A single action (a long press or button combo if nothing else is available) would be a fantastic quality of life addition for console. Thanks for listening to my GEKx talk.

Egg Sequencer unclear, need help [Question]

First and foremost: I'm gonna tell you that I'm experimenting with Companions for the first time, and I chose to do it in Creative mode. If that actually affects anything, please let me know. I've also read both the wiki and the comprehensive guide, but I still remain unclear.

First question: I tried modifying an egg, and all the traits still say "inherited", is this a bug? Someone else brought this up, can we confirm if this is true? Does it always say "inherited" even if it was changed? Are the changes always guaranteed? There isn't some probability of failure? I could wait for my egg to hatch, but I think you all can answer me faster.

Second question: I seem to be able to put an egg back into the sequencer, even after I've already modified it. Do the changes actually stack? Can I double, triple, quadruple dip my changes before the egg hatches?

If we cant get PvP, let's overhaul PvE! [Discussion]

I think PvE is a great compromise to those (including myself) on who want a more dynamic and engaging combat system. But to not tread on those who enjoy the non combat focused experience I say we focus on PvE. That way people who wanna kill things and blow stuff up get it, and those who dont cant continue on playing their way! Either Way Combat needs an Overhaul!

My Solution?

Revamping Pirates and Sentinels.

Pirates should be very common in high Conflict level systems. To the point where you can come across random "Events" similar to Deep Space Anomalies.

You can maybe buy an item reffered to as "System Authority Emergency Transponder" which would basically alert you to these Events!

Pirate Events:

Smuggling Run- A bunch of Pirates ships are escorting a Squad of very bulky Haulers loaded with goods. Take down the Haulers before they reach their set destination and you'll get a nice some of resources and units. If they reach their destination you fail.

Illegal Asteroid Fracking- The Pirates are using an Industrial Frigate to mine asteroids. Your objective is to scare it off by destroying its Mining Beam, Engines, Storage Containers, Turrets, Navigation Array and Its Life Support Systems. These items would be highlighted areas and can be blown up like Storage Containers. Once all of these are destroyed the Frigate will panic and Warp out of the System leaving plenty of its harvested resources, materials, and maybe even some Frigate Modules like Fuel Oxiders or something. It would be timed and if you couldnt complete it in the time The Frigate would run off and leave nothing!

(Stay tuned for more ideas, Upvote this if you want me to dive deeper)

Celestial Seekers are now open to the public for new players to join our mission to advance and take what is rightfully ours in the Zavainlani Galaxy. We are based on Normal game mode and currently occupy 10 systems listed ‘Celestial Seekers I-X’ and have a Capital system and planet located in ‘Celestial Seekers IV’. We started out as our goal to explore and scout for a system and planet to call home but in the end we took our own regional space instead. The plan of action now is to set up outposts around these systems as a defensive grind and set up our headquarters on our Capital planet!

Background Story

“Celestial Seekers is a small group on Ex-Military Soldiers who abandoned there post to go and seek new planets and systems on there own. Whilst there commanding officers only want peace. This group of rebels only seek to destroy and take what they believe is rightfully there’s!”

Combat and Npc update [Suggestion]

Was gonna post this today then saw the update lol.

Love the steady stream of updates but I hope we get another big one this year, doubtful now because of how soon prisms released to august but we'll see.

I hope the next big one will focus on ground combat and for npc behaviours to be overhauled.

I'd love to find random vy'keens and gek etc... engaged in ground combat in 'war' systems and to be able to take sides in missions in killing either to tilt the balance toward one or the other for different rewards.

Or find sentinel facilities/factories guarded by dogs and walkers etc... and use weapons/hacking to shut down the factory so the sentinel production for that planet fails which means I can explore and mine without worrying about them interrupting me.

I'd love for npcs to be able to travel from space stations to planets, do some scanning/mining/fighting creatures and return to space stations for trading/rewards, and of course be able to go pirate on them and kill/rob them for their valuables :P

Lastly, creature combat. Like the eyes that lure you underwater in which you have to mash square/x to escape from, it would be cool to see some land/flying creatures have that ability too, like the vine whips, they could latch onto you and you have to mash a button to escape, or the little aliens that burst from eggs could swarm and climb on you and you have to mash a button to get them off, fliers could pick you up, and bigger land animals, when they attack you could send you flying back a few feet onto your back.

Little things like that to engage the player more in the universe, we have all the pretty things, customisation and variation, now we just need an engaging combat loop.

I just heard the news that Prisms came out, but going into my game (game pass on pc version) shows no option to turn on DLSS or any sign of an update. When is the update being brought to PC, and if it already has, why can't I get it?

Previous Expedition Save [Question]

Question for my fellow Interlopers: If I didn't finish Expedition 1, is there a point to keeping the save? My save slots are full and I'd like to start Expedition 2.

Atlas Path stuck : I have 57 milestones (Galileo) but cannot progress past the Noospheric orbs [Question]

It fills my mind.

I am consumed by the inability to progress this damn quest.

As I understand it, I should be given the Dark Matter blueprint at the interface given the number of milestones I have, but for some reason I'm kinda stuck there.

Matter (hehe) of fact, pretty sure I could just coast through them all since the highest milestone requirement for the whole quest line is 50?

There HAS to be something I don't understand? It's also quite annoying that you have to google the milestones for each step because they aren't in the mission text in the log.

I hope that wasn’t the big update of the year [Discussion]

Prism is cool, and i like that you can taim flying creatures but most of the cool stuff from the update is for next gen... This cool graphics only for pc and next Gen! People like me who hasn’t a Ps5 or a Xbox yet can’t enjoy that...

I also hope the next big update improves more of the in-game Features and make them more deeper

Repeatedly Triggering Living Ships [Question]

Anyone else having the Starbirth missions triggering repeatedly since the update? I already had one living ship. On my first pulse, another showed up, and I did confirm synthesis and claim the ship. My very next pulse headed back to the space station immediately triggered another. Aren't you supposed to have a void egg for each ship? I've only purchased one in my entire time playing NMS, and I used it on my first LS...

New-ish player here. Love the game but I'm a bit lost [Question]

Remove if not allowed

I'm on mobile and English isn't my first language so please forgive any formating and/or spelling mistakes.

Bought the game a while ago (before the abandoned freighter update came out) played it for a decent amount but made no real progress story or technologically wise.

I learned the basics and even got myself some exo crafts but I just didn't seem to make enough progress to push for rare materials or components (I know you need to explore several systems to get the most materials but my fuel supply is always low and for some reason can't seem to produce enough to jump multiple times)

I would really appreciate some tips for a decent start or how to get resources in an efficient manner or just anything rather useful.

also unrelated but my Xbox One S struggles a bit running the game, is this normal?

Do you guys still find storm crystals ? [Question]

So I have updated my game, and after being in awe at the visuals improvements of the prism update, I went to a storm planet to gather some crystals but could'nt find any, then I tried to find another planet with extreme storms but had no success finding storm crystal on that one either.

Am i just extremely unlucky or have storm crystals been updated too ?

I just woke up to pee and now I'm reading patch notes [Discussion]

I dont feel good Sean leave me alone /s

For real tho, this update made my day! Just when I was thinking caves were too boring (still think cave terrain could use some love but this is great too!) and that next gen could look better. Boom! Also no shit, just yesterday my girlfriend saw me playing and taming creatures and asked "are there any fur baby creatures?" Of course I unfortunately had to respond with a disappointed "No". Not anymore. So exciting. No Man's Biomutant!

Also while we're on it, I've been loving Biomutant. Don't understand the complaints.

Holy sh*t I love this game [Discussion]

I got this game a week ago, it was everything I ever searched for in a game, endless exploration, multiplayer, no microtransactions, f**king FLYING SANDWORMS! Ridable animals, spaceships, freighters, everything. I came from playing elite dangerous for a month and that game had so many issues that nobody cared to fix and everyone just accepted. This game has almost none, and the few I did have literally got patched today, I’m so excited to go and ride a flying thing

Considering NMS for next coop adventure [Question]

Hi, I've got a small group of friends interested in playing coop games. We really enjoy Deep Rock Galactic and are now thinking of expanding to one or two of the following: GTFO Dying Light Vallheim No Man's Sky Satisfactory

What is the coop experience like in No Man's Sky? Does the whole group need to be at roughly the same progresses in the game or does it handle drop-in players well? What's the gameplay loop like?

Does anything stand out as being particularly good or bad about the coop experience? Also, does it run well enough on older hardware?

Expedition discussion [Discussion]

Been playing this game from launch. Invested hudreds of hours in multiple saves (normal/survival), upgrading almost everything at max, searching for new types of ships, freighters, building bases as so on. But for some reason i wasn’t attracted at all for doing the expeditions. It kinda felt like this new game mod is only for new players who just bought the game and give them some early rewards rather than work hard for them. Am I the only one who felt this?

The game looks prettier than ever, but there's still one aspect of it that is hard for me to overlook that's been there since the beginning... [Discussion]

The number of asteroids in space is too damn high. It just kills my enjoyment of the aesthetics of the game. Almost as soon as you leave a planet, there's asteroids. If you fly to another planet or a station or something, and you get tons of rocks flying past you that it just so distracting. It really really kills how good the game can look to me.

I understand there needs to be a way to farm fuel in space, but the current set up is not the way to go imo. Maybe they can make a scanner that you activate that finds (and by "finds" I mean it creates one near you) an asteroid field for you to farm, but unless you look for it, they remain hidden.

Update suggestion? [Suggestion]

I think i speak for everyone when i say, We need a biome update! Every planet is just the exact same biome across its entire surface and oceans! We need new biomes in these planets! mixed planets with multiple biomes such as a desert biome jungle biome and grassy biome all on the same planet!

And another thing that needs to be added to no mans sky are rivers across planets surfaces!

What’s the difference? [Question]

Hello, new NMS player here. I’m sorry if this may be considered a duplicate question but can someone explain to me if there’s a difference between: 1) My friend opened the game in singleplayer mode (chose the Play game option upon startup). Then he invites me and I join his game vs 2) He hosts using the Multiplayer option… or both options are just the same in terms of saves, base-building, mission progress, etc.

Thank you.

Is the Prisms Update officially live? [Question]

Possibly dumb question - I have the PS5 version (just purchased this morning actually), and when I check the patch notes in-game, it still notes the Expeditions update. When I manually check for an update, it says I have the latest version installed.

Before I start treating my eyes to all the new features, just want to be sure I have the most updated version. Can anyone confirm the Prisms update still shows the Expeditions patch notes?

Thanks in advance and apologies for the possibly silly question!

How does Prisms graphic updates work without RTC GPUS, and how they impact VR? [Discussion]

On one hand I applaud these new graphical improvements. This game is looking even better with time, it's amazing what this team is doing. Probably the most generous and active developing team out there.

Now, on one hand I wonder if we will be able to enjoy these improvements without an RTX card. You know, those incredibly hard to get and very expensive cards nowadays.

And also, how does this impact VR performance, or whether it remains visually the same and all these are details you could activate at the cost of performance.

I take it you can make the game look pretty good in VR, which is my preferred (main) way to play it, if you have an RTX gpu. Even more with DLSS.

More Interesting Space Mining [Suggestion]

I get the arcade feel of space mining but can we honestly have something more interesting to do for mining that is more rewarding and less annoying that shooting hundreds of rocks for an hour to get enough resources or find those space anomaly beacons?

No Man's Sky closing on Hello Games screen(steam) [Bug]

Hey everyone! I recently decided to revisit No Man's Sky after a few months off because I had gotten bored of my other games and some friends got NMS as well. Upon opening the game, it launched to the Hello Games logo screen and then instantly closed. I have tried a few solutions like reinstalling to a different drive, verifying install files, and removing my saves but nothing has worked so I'm looking to this sub for help.

Here is a video of the bug: https://youtu.be/wwluE-kUit4

If anyone has experienced this issue and has any solutions that would be greatly appreciated, thanks.
