Not able to salvage ship? [Question]

I am trying to get storage augmentation slots by salvaging my old ships but when I try to salvage it it tells me that my inventory is full (even though I emptied it). I’ve tried resetting my game but that doesn’t work. Any ideas?

Dumb question-- [Question]

Me and my friends trying to come back and try out the expeditions in NMS, but it says it's already complete and you can't que for it at all. Is there any notice or indication when another will be available? I thought they rolled from one to the next

Do all of the freighters come apart like this? [Discussion]

I've been trying for an S class at least 75 times. 30 times here. I will leave it again to do another day of that awful Living Ship quest. I noticed this thing comes apart during battle but not every battle. Just once in a while.

This game or Subnautica: Below Zero? [Question]

Wanted to hear the opinions of people who have played both this game and Subnautica: Below Zero. I really only have the time and money to pick up one of these games right now. I very much enjoyed playing the first Subnautica.

Thanks!

Improvement [Discussion]

So can people on ps4 and Xbox one tell the difference?. I'm on ps4 and I'm totally blown away it's like night and day. For a minute I thought people on next gen could really see a difference but I was wrong on that

OPEN Q: Gone for so long... what's first? [Question]

Interlopers, I haven't played NMS since shortly before living ships were announced, and I know that there's been a LOT of changes since then. I have an A-class freighter that I've partially upgraded; all six ship slots filled with fully upgraded S-class ships (well, they were fully upgraded when I stopped playing, maybe there are more upgrades available now); 2-3 small bases; and many billions of credits.

I think I'm ready to jump back in, but... where the hell do I start? What's the first thing you'd do?

Question for modders [Question]

If you're using a world generation mod and a new patch comes that makes the mod incompatible, thus changing all the worlds and creatures into an unmodded state, will they all go back to what they were before if the mod is updated?

Will the worlds and creatures go back to the way they were, or will it change completely when the mod is updated?

#

Is this the dawn of NMS Kaiju battles? [Discussion]

Do the flying pets produce eggs that can be manipulated in the gene sequencer?

Does Sean know what he has unleashed?!

The arrogance of man is thinking nature is in our control, and not the other way around. Let them fight.

#

Any guesses for what the Override thing will be for? [Discussion]

In classic r/NoMansSkyTheGame speculation before the year's big update:

My take is that it will be used to introduce new story content to tie into the lore player-owned Space Stations, and a proper Player Faction system. Like Eve Online's mechanics.

I would also expect a space combat revamp to make it more engaging instead of making a full stop, turning around and shooting the back of the enemy, but honestly I can't speak much on it because I don't know how I would improve the combat.

What do you think?

How to enable DLSS with today's patch? [Question]

I have an RTX 2080 TI, and am not seeing anything in the Video/Graphics options to enable DLSS like in other games. Can someone point me in the right direction to where this setting is located? Thanks!

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

Hey everyone! I recently decided to revisit No Man's Sky to play with my friends and upon launching I found that I have a bug that instantly closes my game again.

Here is a video of what I'm experiencing: https://youtu.be/wwluE-kUit4.

I've tried a few solutions like verifying my install, reinstalling to a different drive, updating drivers, and I reinstalled the game through gamepass instead of steam. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

Now can you please fix your cloud textures/shading? [Suggestion]

Time and time again we think there’s not much left they can do to visually upgrade and fix this game, they blow our minds and raise the bar.

That being said can you please revisit your cloud tech and give them the proper cloud texture? Especially on high end systems, there’s no reason they look gooey and pixelated and have a complete lack of the wispy texture they use to have.

I’m talking about flying through the clouds and having them break over your canopy... not flying around them... between them, or above them... but through them. They also only really look that good mid day cycle on most planets when they are more or less one solid colour with little shading effect.

It would also be nice if they didn’t look so sloppy when seen through space, especially when approaching moons. Given how much improvements you’ve added to the game in other no doubt more complicated places and ways, i feel you should be able to fix these clouds up to look and feel a hell of a lot nicer than they do. Cmon Sean, guys, you can do it!

No Dlss on windows store version??? [Discussion]

As far as I can tell there is no dlss options on the game pass version. I have updated all my drivers and windows but when I cycle through the aa options in game dlss does not show up. Has anyone else found a fix for this? I'm running a 2080s so I should be able to use it.

#

Power Switches [Question]

Can you guy tell me how the auto switch work? The info on wiki is still confusing to me. I try connect power switch to the door of my Square Room but everytime I connect power to the room, the door open but refuse to close despite connecting to the switch, is there a solution for that? (Sorry for my bad English)

#

Maybe a bug or a new nerf? [Discussion]

I was going to gift a new player in the Space Anomaly some Chlorine because he was just getting started and I noticed that the price of chlorine is now 128 Units per 1 Chlorine, but the price of the entire stack keeps going up while it’s in my inventory. Not sure if they lowered the price and along with that came a bug or if the entire thing is a bug.

Eissentam Galaxy center leads to Hilbert... [Question]

I followed The Purge questline while in Elucid and chose to reset to Eissentam. Then, I went back to Elucid and started Galaxy hopping up to Eltiensleen, to unlock the ones in between.

I just teleported back to Eissentam, and went through the center only to end up in Hilbert. How can I get to Elkupalos without calling a "Taxi"?

#

They fixed the sound! [Information]

HG fixed the sounds that were way too loud. Warping, storms, and ship engines are much less explosive, and NPC ships no longer sound like a WWII dive bomber when flying by. My ears and neighbors thank you, HG! 8^)

[XBOX] Playing without internet connection [Question]

Hi, Am I the only one who can't play without internet? I did it many times to claim wild bases while on the road for the galaxy 10, no problem. Now, about 2 minutes after I switch off the internet connection in the settings, a pop-up come to tell I need to connect to Xbox if i I want to keep playing...

#

Extreme Capacity Storage Containers... [Discussion]

So I just came up with an idea to greatly increase storage container space, but I'm at work so I can't try at the moment. Curious if it's been tried before. If you make multiple saves and build storage containers near your main save's base, can you then use all of those storage containers? Of course, you would have to travel between them all, but you would never have to waste things that you want to keep for later just because you can't use it at the moment.

#

Best way to get back in/make the most of the changes in the past 3 years? [Discussion]

I played NMS about three-ish years ago and kinda moved on after a while. There's obviosuly been a load of updates since then and I'm wondering the best way to get back into it.

Should I load from my old saves or create a new survival/creative save to make the most of it? I also remember a fairly long and tedious tutorial, is that still the same or has that been updated since?

Thanks in advance

#

Bytebeat tunes to get from player's bases? [Fan Work]

Where be some cool bytebeat tunes? Warp links?

You have to actually GO to a player's base, to their bytebeat machine, to DL their bytebeat song (or they can "Send" it to you somehow????)

The three that Hello Games added, are kind of lame. I'd like some cool ones to play (especially if real songs/tunes from our world.)

Anyone know where the "Sonic Theme" that Sean Murray posted in his twitter, that some player made, is? ;)

Xbox Series S version problems [Question]

Hello. Just got an Xbox Series S with an VRR free sync premium monitor.

In this game i get no smooth fps, it's very jittery and now and then the the video/game goes blank so the whole screen gets black.

I have tried bot performance and quality and disabled/enabled vsync.

If i enable vsync the framerate in performance mode is low. Fallout 4 is buttery smooth in 60fps comparison

What's the deal?

#

Abandoned stations now gone?? [Question]

I the economy filter in the map you can warp to either a white or red system both of which show up as no data available and neither have space stations in them, so maybe in next update we can build our own??

Might tie into the new station panel override??

No option for DLSS on RTX2060 on fresh install of NMS [Bug]

Hi all,

I was just wondering if anyone else was having issues with no DLSS options in the game? I know its in the antialiasing section but nothing is coming up. I'm running an RTX2060 (laptop) and the card is showing up as the graphics card in the graphics menu, but no DLSS to be found, any ideas?

#

Hello Games, please overhaul the combat/difficulty of the game. It’s far too easy, even on Permadeath. [Suggestion]

I just wanted to point out another area of the game that can be improved on in light of the new updates. Hello Games has immensely improved the game since launch and I can say I really enjoy it. However, as others have pointed out before, the game is far too chill of an experience. And some people may like how chill it is, and that’s fine, but it defeats the purpose of permadeath or survival.

I rarely ever find predators on any planets. Even on planets with no predators, I’ll find animals with descriptions saying that they are constantly in danger of being hunted by predators, although there aren’t any predators on the planet and all of the animal’s diets consist of rocks or plants. This just doesn’t make sense to me. Most of every planet in the game has life on it, why not make it a requirement to have at least one deadly predator species on planets or make it rare for there to be no deadly predators on a planet?

There aren’t any bandits or raiders in the game besides in space. Even space battles are too easy and can be won in a minute. The only danger from space battles are if there is more than 3 enemies you have to fight and they’re all shooting at you at once. Fighting sentinels are the only ground battles in the game and this is just kind of a let down personally. It would be amazing if you could have the opportunity to be engaged in a firefight with Vy’keen raiders over your outpost resources. Or have the option to switch to a secondary weapon like a sword as an alternative to mining with the multi tool or in a final effort to defeat enemies when you run out of ammo. Give us the option to build turrets and defensive positions for our colonies and outpost.

You could also add dungeons and NPC colonies to planets. Give us an option to become evil villains who will butcher entire...

Aite aite PRISM is awesome [Information]

For actually lots of reasons Idk how is that - it’s like devs just monitoring list of my mods and adding them to the core, it’s regarding QoL: Alt now works perfectly good not sure if in exocrafts as well but believeing so, sounds fixed, space is more dark and immersive itself, lot more stars seen from planets surface.

That is all apart from amazingly good lighting done

Thanks folks, is warm heartedly appreciated what are you doing with your sandbox

Atlas Pass is bugged [Question]

I finished the game a few days ago and always wondered when and how i will get the atlas pass. So i googled. And i found that i should've gotten it already. I am at lvl 10 in the needed category but polo never ever said anything. He just offers these stupid coordinates and nothing else. What am i supposed to do?

#

Base teleporter exit path was flipped, will it stay like this? [Question]

I carefully arranged all my base teleporters so stepping through them doesn't make your face hit a wall on the other side or put you one step from a deep fall. Hello Games, having a good sense of humor, flipped the teleporter exit path in a recent update, so the exact thing I avoided now happens on all my bases, all the time.

I'm revisiting the game after quite a while so I don't know how new this is and whether it is considered a bug or meant to stay this way? It will take me several hours to flip all my teleporters ...

Downer of 3.5: The SYNTHESIS LABORATORY. Correct me if I'm wrong. [Discussion]

Hey folks,

I love Prisms. I truly do. What the Shawn did for the graphics of the game with this update leaves me... Yeah. Speechless.

Which makes the synthesis lab not that big a thing, but still.

After downloading the update I got into the game and explored my home planet anew, and it was breathtaking. After embracing all that I went to the Anomaly to check out the lab - because man, new stuff is always welcome. But then all that is available in the lab wasn't available to me. Couldn't buy it. Why? I already owned all of it.

Basically, all the synth lab does is taking away the need ro find installments on planets to get those blueprints. For me, the old explorer I am, this is a bit of a bummer. Sure, new players will have easier access to that stuff. But at the price of another exploration incentive lost.

All I can hope now is that there will be stuff added to the lab we will have to earn, but something tells me this won't happen (so soon).

Aggressive Sentinel... systems?! [Discussion]

When I heard about the update this morning, I hopped into the game quickly just to look around a bit before work. At one point, I jumped into a system without a space station and immediately got hit by waves of System Defence Ships. There were no pirates or freighters around until I summoned my own. I fought off maybe three waves before I decided to just leave.

I don't remember encountering anything like this in previous updates, is this new? Has anyone else seen it?

I'm planning to go back later and see if I can trigger this again.

next gen draw distance [Question]

Is next gen draw distance improved at all? I'm super disappointed with how it was in the 1st next gen patch. I'm on PS5 but I'm curious to hear from any XBS players too.

#

Question: Where to find AI Valves?!? [Question]

I know I can get them from salvaging ships, but after a fair number of ships, I haven't gotten a single one :(. Is there some kind of trick to it that I'm missing? Or, does anyone happen to have a spare one? I'm on PS5 on Permadeath, name's Qlipphotic. Friend Code is 96VE-ZBH7-MC06W

I'm happy to trade for it! I don't have a lot as I'm fairly new in this save, but I'll give what I can :)

Monstrosities buff [Discussion]

So apparently they buffed the monstrosities. I’m doing a nexus mission rn and normally I like to take the larva core. No big deal they normally can’t hit me or don’t even deal that much damage. Some of them don’t even know they’re supposed to be hunting me or just miss 90% of the time. I destroy one egg get the core step back and fire on the monstrosities and they all jump at me, destroying my shield in like 5 hits and taking away 5 cores of health leaving me with 3. Sometimes if they hit me enough times I somehow get knocked back really far so free distance I guess until they catch up which doesn’t take long. Although now it feels like they’re actual monsters this was definitely unexpected.

How do I know what version of NMS I'm using on Xbox Series X? [Question]

Hello everyone!

With the new update and all the visual related improvements, I'd like to ensure that I'm running the version optimized for next-gen on my Series X. When I view the game on dashboard, there are no labels. However, when I open my games folder it lists X|S next to the Game Pass logo.

This makes me think that I am most likely running the correct version. However, there are no video related settings for quality/performance modes, or at least I can't seem to locate them once in game.

Any help or advice is greatly appreciated! Thanks :)

Edit: Also, are next gen version of the game meant to have graphical settings?

Coming back to this game from SE and years away [Question]

I want to come back, I still been a year or so, I have a good amount of ships and frigate, no base really.

Coming from SE I got to build some crazy things, while I know I can’t do that with ships in NMS, I can do that with bases!

My question is, can I switch from survival to creative mode and keep all the ships I have or do I start over from scratch? Also do I not get to play with others when in creative?

#

Wtf did HG do with this update [Bug]

Yeah it's cool and all with flying pets.....but why are all of the systems and plants and literally everything I have named has been reverted back to its original and can no longer be edited kinda really sucks....nd I no longer have an option in my menus to go on or offline play in game like there use to be.....wtf where they thinking

#

Base trouble question [Question]

I hope this is the right place for it, but I have a phantom base that will not disappear. It was glitchy, and several cargo containers were no longer available to be built (Every time I removed them to replace, I would permanently lose access to one of them) So, I deleted the base.

I made a new base in the same area, and rewired it for power from a nearby-ish hot spot, and when I returned, the old base was back, and everything was there, from a build several iterations old. I cannot interact with anything within the old base, and the old base computer has no available commands and says I am logged in as a guest.

I kinda want to keep a base on this world, I'm fond of it. But the old phantom base is problematic. Does anyone have any advice on how to remedy this?

Anyone Else Not Like the Retro Flashlight Effect [Discussion]

Anyone else not like the Retro Flashlight With the shadow in the middle of where you are looking?

We have teleporters and yet we use incandescent bulbs with filament shadow?

The middle is WHERE I want LIT Up not the sides!

It should be an appearance modifier thing if you want to choose a downgrade of the light.

Stuttering when leaving a planet. (PC) [Question]

As the title says, I get a 1 second stutter whenever I’m leaving a planet’s atmosphere and the Space Station’s icon appears on my HUD, so I’m assuming it’s stuttering because it’s loading the space station or other space events.

This only happens when leaving planets and going to space. My game’s performance is perfect with any graphics or video settings, but the stutter is always there despite my settings. I tried playing with everything on low and it’s still the same so I’m currently playing with everything on ultra.

Any advice?

My PC specs are:

GeForce RTX 3070 AMD Ryzen 5 3600 6 core 32gb RAM Running on a 1tb SSD M.2 On a AORUS CV27Q 165Hz and 1440p monitor

[PC] Interested in a "Permadeath" attempt at reaching the Galaxy center with me? [LFG/LFP]

Hello, fellow travelers.

The title says it all. I would like to reach the center of the Euclid Galaxy on the "Permadeath" mode to unlock the game's Steam achievements (the "Survival" achievement also unlocks upon unlocking the "Permadeath" one), but would like to do so with another person or 2-3-however many people are interested, if there are any, of course.

I'd really appreciate only serious comments from users who've played this game at least a little bit. Also, if a chill attitude, a microphone and a more or less optional "over 20 years old" criteria would be met, that would be extremely wonderful.

So, is anyone interested?

Salvage Data in Buy menu? [Question]

Yesterday I could have sworn my salvage data showed up in the research menu, top left.

Now it only shows units, nanites, and quicksilver?

Kind of useless to me, since I want to know how much SD i have when i'm making research purchases?

Tried to google this issue but all im getting is "how to GET salvaged data" which isn't a problem im facing.

Any help would be appreciated.

Yes I know i can find the stuff in my inventory, this is just bugging me really bad. Plz halp

#

Systems disappearing from discoveries [Question]

Every time I log on, 5 systems disappear from discovered systems list. Some of them have bases in them. I go to every space station first thing when I discover a new system but it pisses me off so much as I like to look at the planets in discoveries. How do I stop this glitch from occurring again?

#

Any way to track recipes in game? [Question]

This goes for both food and crafted stuff. I'm trying to avoid any wikis and just explore the game as I go. I looked up the catalog but it only shows an item description. I was hoping for something along the lines of the game keeping tab of the requirements to craft geodesite or herb encrusted flesh as examples.

If not I'm going pen and paper. Time to experiment!

#

Free Ship bug (I think, I'm not really sure) [Bug]

So I listed this as a question as I'm not sure if it's a bug or not, and it might be old news for some. So a while back, I found a broken Pride of Air ship on a planet I was exploring to which I claimed and left on the spot, fast forward to a day later, I decided to use it to get a better fighter Starship considering that it has great value for something that I won't repair. I traded it for a B class Starship worth less than it's value, so I'm exchanging it without spending any units. The pride of air was worth 14mil and the B class fighter was 8mil, after I traded, I spoke to the same lifeform with whom I traded with and saw that the pride of air of pride was worth 40mil and I could claim it for free which I did and now I have two ships in the space station. Sorry if this is a old thing, just thought I'd share this bug(or nah?)

Edit: decided to change to flair bug.

Does lush thick grass exist in VR? [Question]

Maybe I have just never landed on the right planet, but at most grass looks very sporadic to me. Is there ever truly grass covered land in VR, or is the grass minimal to save FPS?

If it is a performance thing, I'd love to be able to increase grass density now we have DLSS.

#

Is the game still heavy with inventory space? [Question]

I played the game at launch, though only a few hours, and my biggest complaint was the inventory space was an issue - I felt like I didn’t have enough space for all the elements and shit you get. Is that still an issue?

Also additionally does the PS5 trophies auto-pop?

What a time to buy the game again [Discussion]

Bought day one for PS4, and I put it down for a few months after dumping hours into it…today on a whim I bough it on Steam. Have a decent MSI laptop I use for Revit and such for work, and thought it’d be worth delving into while off for a day or two with the laptop…while it was downloading I saw a new NMS trailer on FB…Hello Games is freaking awesome. I haven’t done much since the companion update, really looking forward to seeing what all Is new. Now to look into mods for PC!

NMS finally playable on Series X [Discussion]

Until today the frame rate stuttering and drops made the game practically unplayable despite it being optimized for next gen consoles, but playing it right now it runs extremely smooth. It does look better but the main issue I had was how junky it felt. So glad this was finally fixed.

My GPU usage sits at around 2% for some reason [Question]

I haven’t played in some time but I don’t recall having this issue in the past. I have a 2070s and a 3700x. Under the options, it says its using my 2070s, yet task manager claims otherwise (it reports my gpu is sitting around 2% usage). My performance isnt awful, but I feel as if something isnt right. Furthermore, my card sits at around 59 degrees celsius when I play. My card idles at 41 and goes up to 71 under heavy load. This tells me the game is hardly utilizing my gpu. Ive tried a fresh install and updating my drivers. This is an issue ive had for the past 4 days, so prior to today’s update btw.

#

A new way to farm nanites [Suggestion]

So the concept is, you can buy ships and scarp them for upgrade modules you can sell for nanites. I went to a space station with 30 million units, and bought A and S class ships. I then scrapped them as I went, making most of my units back. With all of the upgrade modules, I sold them and made 5000 nanites from the upgrade modules, I got 12 additional starship inventory slots, and left with 25 million units. For only 5 million units and 20 minutes, I think this was a really good way to farm. Make sure to use a Tier 3 economy system

Sell Ships from storage? [Question]

Xbox one texture rendering [Question]

I hope maybe one day we could a sort of mini update that's rancher themed [Suggestion]

It could allow us to sort of ranch animals especially since they expanded the range of tameable animals id love it if sea life got the ability to be tamed and you could build ranches/pens to hold wildlife allowing you can keep them at hand for thier resources and maybe also give us a way to expand our pet slots or give us a way to sort to switch them out with us only able to hold 6 total

PS5 Version Number [Question]

Graphic question day one player/quiter [Information]

Short Story: Hello my fellow travelers. Its been ages since i touched this game i played it a few hrs on steam when it first got released there and then put it the wine cellar to age a bit. Man it has aged alot. I almost forgot about it tell YouTube said. HEY REMEMBER THIS GAME YOU DONT PLAY!. LOL

So my question is, are their any tweeks or known setting i should run for this game? The graphic settings have sure been upgraded and im not too picky but want it to look good.

My system is a 3700x 2080ti 32gb of ram. I played a few hours on ultra AF at 16 GTAO at ultra and AA off (27 l"1440p 165hz) i been out of touch on whats matter in games now but i want this game to look amazing so running it all maxxed out nets me 120-90 fps.

Will we ever see multi crew ships? [Discussion]

Or ship interiors you can walk around? Would be amaxing to be able lower parts of the ship like a ramp and place objects in.

I'm dreaming I know...

#

Returning start over or continue? [Question]

I've played this on and off since release. I played most of my time after the first major overhaul. I've got a few million credits or whatever their called.

I had just placed solar panels at my base and I do have all the vehicles and a freighter.

But I'm thinking I might enjoy the game again starting over from scratch. Is there enough to do to keep someone engaged who is returning with lots of things?

I feel it's been so long that starting over might feel like a new adventure.

Any thoughts?

#

All great updates! Next can we get an update for these decorative blocks and then they will go where the hell I need it to? [Suggestion]

Seriously been sitting here rotating a wedge for ten minutes seeing it snap to every rotation except for the one I need it to go. It's mildly infuriating and has always been a problem. There's 8 possible rotations, why not the one that makes sense? And don't snap to anything else, I don't want it across the base. I'm working on something huge and it's making it needlessly difficult.

If nms building worked like halo reach's forge, there's be so much more artistic bases.

No hiding from pirates [Discussion]

I found out very quickly when I played Prisms for the first time today that pirates will follow you into a planet's atmosphere with the update. You have to dogfight them there. I've got a maxed-out living ship, I'm not afraid of a fight, I was just trying to accomplish something and didn't want to spend time on it. Learned the hard way! I hadn't seen anyone post about this, so thought I'd share.

All shipwreck beacons identical: quest, or a bug? [Question]

In my oldest save from 3.10, after reading a large number of Boundary Failures, I noticed shipwreck distress beacons began to change. Around the release of 3.20 (Companions), every single shipwreck's distress beacon became identical, as depicted in the screen captures. They have stayed this way through all updates since.

Is this a normal part of the story told by the Boundary Failures, a related quest line? I ask as all the new shipwreck sequences involve the digital entity inhabiting your suit, which is revealed by the Boundary Failures story.

If this is normal, what do I have to do to progress past this and get random results again?

If this is not normal, any idea what in this one save could cause it? All my other saves from 3.20 or later are unaffected.

Is the new space skybox actually based on our current position in the Galaxy? [Question]

You can see red, blue, yellow, etc... stars in the space skybox, so I'm curious if it is actually the galactic map, or just a random skybox. If the skybox is made with the galactic map, it would be cool if we could point at a star, and activate directly the hyper jump. It would add a lot to the immersion, it would make the whole galaxy feel connected.

Datamining: 3.5 release, references to Damaged Station Core [Information]

There's the text you can see just by walking up to the (new in 3.5) Station Core of any normal starbase:

UI_SPACE_STATION_CORE_NAME:

Station Core

UI_SPACE_STATION_CORE_SUB:

Flightpath and Landing Overseer

UI_SPACE_STATION_CORE_LANG:

Life support systems: Stable... Commercial monitoring: Online... Flight path management: 95% efficiency...

but then there's also text for the currently-greyed item based interaction you can have with it:

UI_SPACE_STATION_CORE_OPT:

Input Override Code

UI_SPACE_STATION_CORE_RES:

Counterfeit code detected... UI_GameMode_Erase_Error ACCESS DENIED

as well as a Damaged Station Core:

UI_SPACE_STATION_CORE_DAM_NAME:

Damaged Station Core

UI_SPACE_STATION_CORE_DAM_SUB:

Corrupt Station Controller

UI_SPACE_STATION_CORE_DAM_LANG:

UI_SPACE_STATION_CORE_DAM_OPT:

Repair Core

UI_SPACE_STATION_CORE_DAM_RES:

UI_STATION_KEY_NAME:

STATION OVERRIDE

UI_STATION_KEY_NAME_L:

Station Override

UI_STATION_KEY_DESC:

A portable data drive containing the AI override codes for a Space Station Core.

The importance of the station AI core ensures that such keys are both highly regulated and extremely profitable on the black market.

UI_STATION_KEY_SUB:

AI Master Key

(For those who aren't used to looking at this kind of data, the stuff in brackets is markup that tells the game when to use a special text color or symbol.)

If I had to guess, I'd say that the bases in abandoned star systems will, in an upcoming update/expedition, get their own messed up version of the normal Station Core, and we'll have some sort of special interaction with it. Maybe an expedition goal will involve finding these special items and taking...

If your PC is a bit of a donkey... [Discussion]

I can thoroughly recommend trying NMS out on GEForce Now.

My PC is getting a wee bit 'Jurassic Park' now and probably could do with replacing, but not something everyone is in a position to do, so if you're the same boat, definitely consider trying GEForce Now out. There's a free option and a paid option.

I'm blown away by the visual difference on both options compared to my ancient PC, it's a completely new experience. I've ended up hooking my smart tv up to the PC to play it on there - it's amazing stuff.

The paid option isn't too expensive, and gets you unlimited play sessions with RTX gfx on, and the game looks out of this world (please forgive the punnage), and the performance is outstanding too.

Well worth looking into for anyone else like me who has a donkey of a PC.

Forcing the update on Steam? [Question]

The update seems to be out universally, however, I still cannot access it on Steam.

When booting into the game, I do not have any of the features (Crucially, DLSS) despite having an RTX Card. The In Game Patch notes refer to the version as Expeditions.

I've re-installed the game, restarted steam, gone back and forth with the Experimental Build, nothing. Any ideas?

So....This game has evolved so far, and yet the most BASIC of tech is still missing! [Discussion]

Can you guess what it is? This is something - imho - that should have been incorporated into our ships since day one; or at least asap:

SEARCH LIGHTS!!! Yep: I don't know how many times I've flown over a planet at night looking for something specific, and wished that my ship had had an ungodly bright search light mounted underneath! Articulation would be a plus; but anyway it could have saved a huge amount of time under certain scenarios.

Plus in the worst of storms: having "switchable" bright marking lights on the ship would definitely make it easier to keep track of it - maybe a choice of different colors jic you're in a player-dense area and other players have their markers switched on as well (icons can get a little obscured when everyone and their Korvax mother is in the same system)

PSVR multiplayer cross-gen with PS5 version? [Question]

I have searched for an answer here but can't seem to find it. All the cross-play posts seem to be regarding PS-Xbox-PC cross-play and not cross-gen multiplayer.

I am wondering if there is cross-play between the PS4 and PS5 versions of No Man's Sky?

Big problems joining my friend on multiplayer, both on Xbox. Any insight?? [Question]

Hello friends. I’m curious if anyone else is having the same issue we are regarding multiplayer.

My friend and I love playing NMS together, and while the experience has never been perfect, we’re running into something we’ve never seen before that’s literally preventing us from playing together. Here’s what’s happening:

One of us hosts a lobby and invites the other to join, but when we get to the save select screen, all of our saves are blacked out. They aren’t selectable. It’s like the game is forcing us to start a new game just to play together. What??

When we reverse the process (e.g. the other one hosts and sends an invite) the problem persists.

Anyone have any help or insight? What’s happening here? Why can’t we load our saves into multiplayer so we can play together?

Does anyone else find the LOD portrayed in the trailers a bit misleading? [Discussion]

I noticed that all the trailers show LOD distances of like hundreds of feet but the actual distance in-game is like 20 feet, even with newer updates.

Like, it's fine if they keep render distance low to avoid performance issues but it seems somewhat disingenuous to show beautiful full landscapes full of flora when in reality you can only see like a tiny little bubble of detail around you.

Can't use my save with my friend? [Bug]

Title, both on the exact same difficulty. We started playing together at the same time and had no issues. After closing the game I am forced to make a new save every time to play with him and vice versa. If I can't play it online I don't really want to be playing it, can anyone help?

Cannot see friend's multiplayer game and he can't invite me [Question]

My friend and I are trying to play multiplayer together. We're both on Steam, and we both also added each other's friend code.

We each have a save file in normal mode. He started hosting a multiplayer session, but when I try to join I don't ever see his session show up. When he tries to invite me, the Steam window asking him to select a friend pops up, but no friends are listed.

Can anyone help us resolve this?

Did the ship spawn system change? [Question]

I wanted nanites so I went to the system Xaine recommended in his video, the “Two T3 fighters on station” system.

Hello Games, please release some sort of paid DLC. [Suggestion]

Let me preface this by saying that I bought the game on launch for PC, spent an hour trying to get past the title screen, wrote the game off as trash and refunded it.

Fast forward to the NEXT release on Xbox, and I decided to take a look. When I saw what it had become (and what NEXT was planning on adding) I made sure to get it for my xbox at launch.

And now? The game has become an absolutely fantastic space exploration adventure. I love it, and with Hello Games’ extremely consumer-friendly attitude towards content expansions, I would shout their praises from the rooftops if I could.

That all being said, I wish they would release some form of paid content so that I could continue to support them. With them releasing all content expansions for free (which is an incredibly welcome change from the practices of companies like EA, and something I hope becomes a trend among games in the future) I really do think they deserve some sort of way that we could financially support these content expansions going forward.

My love for this game knows no bounds [Discussion]

So I was playing the new (amazingly beautiful) update, and I partied up with a few random players to do a quicksilver mission. Well one guy ended up staying in a party with me and we started non-verbally communicating at the nexus. I ended up taking him to my home base to show him around and gave him some Quantum processes. I tried to follow him to his but got lost on the way. Luckily he played on PlayStation so I sent a friend request and we started talking and exploring together. He’s from Spain and a really cool guy AND a brand spanking new player who came back to the game after launch and fell in love.

All in all, I’m just so appreciative and loving of Hello Games and this beautiful game they have created that has fostered such a wonderful community.

Sean if you’re reading this, I hope you realize that this game you’ve created is the blueprint for what games will be in the future. The rest of the gaming industry is going to have to catch up because you guys are so far ahead. Please keep loving this game and creating from your hearts because we love you for it. (And will GLADLY throw our money at you whenever you decide to start asking for it.)

Love you Hello Games Team!!!!!

Cannot land anywhere that isn't a blue highlighted circle [Question]

I've been playing since yesterday and have had no problems with landing basically anywhere I wanted. But just now and for the past like 15 minutes I am unable to land anywhere, not even on a trading posts landing pads.

Switching from digital to disc and PS4 to PS5 [Question]

When I got my PS5 in January I gave my PS4 along with my NMS disc to my friend. I have a 400+ hour save backed up to my PS+ but I hadn’t played much since before the living ships update - I did sign on briefly at some point to see a derelict freighter but quit when the game kept crashing. (File date was 11/2020.) Well, my friend is really into it and I decided I wanted to play again, so I bought the game digitally. I’ve downloaded my save file from PSN but it’s not showing up in my game. I can only start a new game. What can I do to get my save to work?

Wondering if any of you prefer either of the options above for your Xbox Series X or OLEDS?

Now that DLSS is in im clinching my fingers and hopping that the yearly expansion patch will include an implementation of ray traced shadows and potentially other RT features [Discussion]

Nms has always had an amazing artstyle but its only since next that hello games started applying modern techniques to bring it to life. What started with still the best volumetric clouds ive ever seen now also includes ssr, DLSS, dense world geometry, high quality volumetric lighting, physically lit particles, some of the heaviest use of tesselation ive ever seen, parallax occlusion maps, some wonderful bloom and in general quite good render distance for grass with a few of these being added by yesterdays patch.

However one area that i feel massively hurts the presentation is NMSs lackluster way of handling shadows that i feel a ray traced alternative could fix

RT shadows cast from a primary light source that being the star in each system would do wonders to fix NMSs rather artificial and lacking shadows. As it stands the light cast upon the planet doesnt seem to affect shadows at all. Instead it seems that every object and piece of geometry accounts for the position of the star(based on time of day) and projects its shadow in the opposite direction to emulate being struck by it. This is very easy to see in photomode by dragging the sun around and what it leads to is

  1. alot of smaller shadows not being present especially since the game doesnt use a screenspace alternaive

  2. lighting leaking through objects with nonsensical shadow positions upon closer inspection.

I feel this would perhaps be the biggest upgrade NMSs graphics could ever receive especially with how the ground is super dense with micro detail that would look even better if it had appropriate shadowing.

I also think the game would benefit massively from ray traced global illumination and ray traced emissive lighting but this post is already long enough so...

Quest : Back to Likholu [Information]

So after a good 7 or so months I'm finally back into no mans sky and I figured I'd go over and check my base list, only to find that my favourite glitchy star system isn't listed under the "your bases" tab like it normally is.

I discovered Likholu through some random blackhole and made a base on one of the planets with a working teleporter, so I'm not sure why I'm unable to warp back there. I initially thought "oh, maybe since it was glitched the system was removed or something", but it's still listed in the discovery tab and still shows my base there.

I've gone through every space station I have available trying to find my original entrance to no avail, any chance there's anyone out there who can help me to get back in? I'm on xbox if that helps.

What exactly has the Prisms update done? [Question]

I haven't played NMS in some time in so I'm not sure what the Prisms update brings to the game. What I have heard is that the devs overhauled the graphics and it looks even more aesthetically pleasing.

I might or might not play NMS today so for clarification's sake, can someone give me a quick rundown of what the Prisms update adds to the game?

Thanks.

Is there any way to transfer my progress from pc to console version? [Question]

Good day,

My PC is getting outdated so I'd rather play NMS on console ( ps5 ).

I however wouldn't want to lose my expedition rewards that I worked so hard towards.

Is there any way I could at least get my expedition rewards transfered/brought with me?

Or a way to still obtain previous expedition rewards if I can't bring my data.

Thanks for the help!

Expedition planet portal glyphs broken? [Discussion]

Hi! Thanks for stopping by!

As I was exploring during expedition 2, I found a couple of things including a crashed S Exotic that I wanted to return for on my main. Thusly, I snapped a pic of the portal glyphs for a planet in the system.

Return to my main. I warp to a nearby portal. Excitedly I type in the glyphs, jump through the portal and disappointingly land on an entirely different planet.

I apologize if this has been discussed, but I was surprised. I tried both on the expedition mode and afterward on the normal file. Any info on this?

Thanks!

Submerged Outpost [Screenshot]

I started this mission that took me to a submerged outpost and most of the mission took place on an ocean world. It did make me realize they should probably come back to the aquatic gameplay of this game though. Feels like it's missing a lot and could use a better update with more content.

It's overlooked!

Combat/Settlement Update Suggestion [Suggestion]

I've been playing NMS for years now since launch and each new update never fails to impress me or get me to redownload the game after a break. But one thing that always seems bare minimum to me is combat and lack of enemy varieties. I understand No Man's Sky is first and foremost, a galactic exploration-based game.

However, I feel as if the combat could bring a new sense of danger to this game's exploration. The are 3 humanoid Races that we know of, Gek/Korvax/Vy'Keen. It'd be very interesting to see a power struggle between the three in different solar systems and having the players aid them how they see fit by doing missions or taking over settlements/outposts. This would also add to the reputation system I feel.

Another thing that I'd like to see which is a dream but very unlikely is cities or even smaller "towns" settlements usually consist of one or two buildings but I think it'd be a lot more interesting to have a few more buildings with various shops, NPCS, Guards, Etc to add some liveliness to planets. I know for the sake of lore that most sentient life forms were forced off planets but it'd be nice to see new settlements emerge in an update with more interesting NPC/AI characters.

Again this is is more like a high hopes dream that may not even be possible in the game but it's something I think about every update and hope to see added more and more. As much as I love and adore this game I just want more from the NPCs and Combat.

Thoughts on this?

Am I the only one frustrated with the interface ? [Discussion]

Hi,

I am a ps4 player. Not very regular, I would call myself rather casual. The biggest reason for this is the fact that on console we need to use our analogue stick to move them cursor like a mouse to navigate and select on inventory or other menus. It boggles my mind that it doesn't have directional input using the d-pad. Or did I miss a setting to change this?

Is NMS worth it for a newcomer now? [Question]

Help, or help anyone through this! [Question]

Sorry for the long winded question; I updated NMS last night, Xbox One, and I ended my expedition like I did the last one, it said it ended, I accepted, as I did before. Only this time, it said downloading content, and then said expedition ended. I went to start the new one, and it just won't do it. I hold A and it won't do anything, just highlights the game mode and nothing further. Anyone else had this happen to them today??? I'm pretty gutted tbh, haha. So if someone could help me with advice or something, I'd be so grateful!

Please help me create a list of reasons to keep playing No Man's Sky [Discussion]

So I bought this game on the day of release and update after every major update I have come back to it playing it for a few hours to see what they did. After the Prisms update I feel like picking it up for a bit more that the usual few hours, but I struggle to find a reason to play.

I get to a new planet, its cool looking, but after 5 min there I wonder 'Why would I keep walking here and what am I looking for here... " Then a major storm starts and I hop in my ship again and I just fly to another one. I repeat this 15 times to then stop playing again. I have 4 million units, which is nothing, a dogshit ship, the free freighter and 3 boring bases.

I guess i'm not that good at creating my own fun like it wants you to do. So I thought with a lot of experienced players in this thread we might be able to create a list of reasons to keep returning, to keep getting new units and upgrading our bases.

What are the coolest objectives to follow, vehicles to create, bases to create, planets to discover, pets to adopt, etc.

A top 5 list to keep returning, can you provide yours?

Hopes For The Anniversary Update [Discussion]

Companions. Expeditions. And now, Prisms. All of these in the course of just the beginning of the year. We are also on the game's 16th update, and it's 5th anniversary. With what we've all gotten already, I feel something real special is coming along, and I would like to share my own hopes.

Before I move on to the big ticket items, I want to talk about the little things about the game that still frustrate me, even after years of improvements, and just small things I want to see in general:

-Why is it that we can't modify our suit notification system? I understand HG wants players to have as much info as possible, but I don't need a flashing warning that my environmental protection is at 50% when I can clearly see that, along with a message. You could say I should just turn off the UI, but I don't want to get rid of it all, just what I don't need. So please Sean, the implementation hasn't changed since launch, just let me control my suit warnings.

-Why is the life support so flimsily? Just walking reduces it's effectiveness for no reason, even just lore related, as far as I'm aware. Even though it's just as much as a grind and no more enjoyable, as least with the environmental protection, it can be justified as the effects of the environment wearing down effectiveness. Whats the reason for the life support? I feel a better way would be for the life support to work more like in Halo, where the life support would act like a shield, and when it goes down to zero, your actual health bar goes down. You would either be able to buy materials to repair it or be able to do it yourself, like any other piece of equipment.

-Can we get elements from things other then particularly shaped rocks or plants? Take oxygen for example. Despite having some fictional elements, NMS seems to almost mostly use elements that would create carbon based lifeforms. So that should mean that Oxygen...

So the Prisms update glitched my mutlitool hilariously [Bug]

When i started the game after updating, i checked my inventory and saw my multitool had 2 boltcaster modules installed (which is impossible), and my damage potential was around 30 000, so the first thing i did was get on a planet to see what happens, and well, the video speaks for itself xD

Yes that is actual recoil, i wasn't throwing my mouse across my table

I was able to fix it by dismantling the second boltcaster

What were they thinking? [Discussion]

I’ve been following, but not playing this game for years. Always curious. Always hopeful. I got a Series X and Game Pass. No Mans Sky included. So excited.

Start One - use my steel plate on my round machine to convert materials. No idea how to make another steel plate and no indication in the game. Stopped, said - this is a lifestyle not a game. F*** it, I’m not going to google this, I’m not going to elite dangerous this.

Curiosity got the better of me with the Prism update today. Tried a new start....

Get dropped on an ice planet. Died in 5 minutes because I need to get some dust and the game isn’t telling me where to get that plus my hud is freezing up so I can’t even read the screen.

Get revived. The direction I was facing was into a valley, so I think, there is dust (small rocks) and sodium, ok I am good. Ohhhh just kidding it’s a f***ing crater and I am trapped.

Is this honestly the experience the developer wants people to have with this game? If so, why? If not, figure out how to introduce players in a way that isn’t f***ing zero sum...I want to like this game so bad. It’s so goddamn frustrating as a new player.

Multiple hyperdrive in freighter - bug [Bug]

Hi everybody, I couldn't find anything in the posts but I am having issues where my main (created from the expedition 1 and becomes a normal save) is having 3 hyperdrives in the freighter.

It happened before, I load the character and I got the message full inventory, then I tried a lot of ways to remove that message until I found it is gone once you switch to a different multitool then you got duplicated items in your exosuit, ship and freighter... Then I can delete all of duplicated except the hyperdrives.

I don't like the idea of get a new freighter and I don't even know if this issue will happen again. I already sent a few request to Hello Games but they didn't back to me.

Does this happen to anyone else ? Any ideas or possible solutions?

Thanks!

Hey guys! So I'm doing a permadeath save and I'm at the point of the end game to create Stasis Devices and all which require me to know advanced crafting

I've had this issue for years though, even in the vanilla back in 2016.

I would hoard secure planetary charts and then just pop them off to raid many Manufacting Facilities. In the beginning [edit: , after I solved the riddle] I would have 3 options: Learn New Recipe, Extract Nanites, or Multitool Expansion. After a while though, even if I guess the Facilities riddle right, nothing would happen.

Why is that?

Is the game worth playing in 2021 ? [Discussion]

Hey everyone I hope you are having a nice day so far.

The reason I wanted to create this post is to gather different opinions about the current state of the game. I haven't touched it for 2-3 years now and seeing some of the latest updates and footage from the game I have to admit that it looks better than ever.

However, I always said that I'll check it out but then I remembered it felt kind of repeatable and thus I never touched it again. I know some people love this idea and to be honest its kind of fun to explore the whole world but to me it always felt like gather-build-explore repeat, I know it's fun but after some time it felt boring and overwhelming, but based on the latest info that we have and the latest updates is the game worth it now or does the repeatability continuous to exist?

Again am making this post to gather some info and opinions about the game I know in the end I ll be the judge of that but I just want to see what is going on before deciding to even reinstalling it or not.

Thank you for your time!

Geology cannon explosion bug? [Bug]

I have a maxed out shield system for my exosuit pretty much, and I have been experimenting with the geology cannon and how much damage it can deal. Whenever I shoot it into the ground below me, I will get one shot killed. However, against other players they take little to no damage? Is damage to user amplified for explosive weapons? If not this seems really bugged because it is described as damaging organic matter, so it would make sense if it did it to all players, not just the shooter.

Apologies if this was already asked on the subreddit-

How do I get back to my freighter?? [Question]

It used to be that your freighter could warp to whatever system you were in, but I’ve tried to do that recently and found that it won’t do that anymore. I’m ages away from my freighter, how do I get it to where I am?

An immersion gripe with this game that puts me off each time [Discussion]

Disclaimer, I know No man's Sky opinions can be a little contentious so I'll try my best to be constructive. I bought the game a couple of years ago and I love it's ambition, visually it's great and this latest patch adds a tonne.

I've un/reinstalled this game about 10 times tho as I think it misses just a few marks

Overall my biggest issue with the game is the fact that all points of interest are evenly spaced out or are abundant. No matter what planet you land on you will find a base around the corner, or ships flying above your head. It's a reminder that the game is artificial and is curated towards you. Kind of spoils that sense of being alone on a planet

Anyone else know what I mean?

Expeditions Season 2 bugged and cannot start? (XB1) [Bug]

Hi - I have completed season one and reverted the save to a normal save. Initially, I was able to start a new game and the community expeditions setting for new game said "Downloading Data" for nearly 4 hours. I force-quit the game thinking it would reset the freeze, and now it says "Expedition Complete" and will not allow me to start a new expedition on a new save. I have reinstalled the game twice and reset the system several times in between. Does anyone know if this is a known issue - I see only a few people talking about this randomly on youtube videos?

#

Community Expedition Rewards Question [Question]

Are the community expedition rewards unlocked for each player individually and only if they participated in them or are they unlocked for the entire community so people who haven't played for a time, like myself, will see new content in existing saves?

Thanks for the info.

Angled walls/windows? [Question]

Is there an easier way to place angled walls?

I've been trying to free hand it for about an hour and it's a real pain in the ass to get it just right. If I was able to disable the snapping function I feel like it'd be a lot easier.

Im on the verge of destroying all the land with my terrain manipulator, please help

What am I doing wrong? [Question]

So I recently purchased this game after avoiding launch. I fucking love this game.... when I am able to play.

I have a PS4 Pro and I have played TLOU2 and Ghost of Tsushima with no issues but for some reason NMS causes my PS4 Pro to over heat. I cleaned the shit out of it and it still does it unless I play at night (my house is hot).

So I have been a weirdo playing at 3am before work trying to get some game time in but ever after the last patch I am crashing every 30 min or so. I cant even get through selling all of my shit to vendors and upgrading before a crash.

I have never love/hated a game so much. Do any PS4 users have any experience with this? Ive cleaned the PS4 Pro and I have rebuilt my database and do not know what else to do at this point but walk away from the game.

No Prims update on PC? [Question]

Looking for the update but Im not receiving any prompt to update the game when I boot it up on PC.

My brother plays on Xbox and had an ~11GB update show up yesterday, is there a problem with the release on PC?

#

Permadeath achievement is not challenging - it’s boring [Discussion]

Bit of a hot take, but this is probably pointed more towards the game design. Most of the challenge comes from the RNG of your starting planet. Unlike other similar open-ended games (Minecraft, Terraria, etc) there aren’t any active threat or situation that can endanger you as immediate as these games. Sentinels are a joke and you’d ignore extreme weather planets on permadeath anyway.

There are no incentives to delve into dangerous planets than storm crystals (not even the best money-maker). There are no incentives to confront sentinels. There are no incentives to not hang near your spaceship while gathering resources. There are no incentives to tread low-depth water

I was hoping with the release of infested freighters we’d actually get a good reason to arm ourselves other than convenience, but nope, just nanite farming and some marginal upgrades. No connection to the story or any existing system.

I know there’s going to be a “it’s not that kind of game” reply, I just want to express how too “safe” the game feels even on the hardest difficulty. Back to grinding another expedition I guess.

Has anyone managed to tame the flying animals that don't land? [Question]

With the new update we're able to tame a lot of flying creatures notably the insects and exotic animals that hover and fly at low altitudes. This is awesome and I've definitely scooped up a couple of goodies but I've been trying my damndest to get a bird or some other high flying creature. Has anyone had any luck or is there tips or tricks I should know?

Lost freighter !! [Question]

Hello!

I checked everywhere online and I couldn't find an answer so I'm coming here hoping I can get a resolution! I bought a freighter and then warped a bunch of times to other galaxies. Now when I try to call it back to me it says insufficient warp drive. I don't mind going back but I have no idea where it is! No location on the galaxy map, nothing.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

First carrier is a A-class carrier! [Information]

Got back into the game a few days ago and got told yesterday, that the first carrier is a C-class. Today I accomplished my 5th jump and got my carrier, which happens to be an A-class one! Pretty happy and wanted to share :)

Is Prisms not a PS4/PS5 update? [Question]

When I got home from work yesterday and attempted to update my game there wasn't anything to download. I figured that the update just wasn't out at all, but then I came to this sub today and see all kinds of posts regarding it.

Living ship help [Question]

I've got a cracking void egg with what I imagine is a set of 12 gplyhs for a specific world,, but is there a way to choose which living ship you get

#

New game idea [Suggestion]

I think HG should allow a user to have a starting profession. Like the "start another life" for Skyrim

You choose your profession (pirate, merchant, archelogist, etc) and you start with random gear based on your choice, no tutorial/storyline is added.

You could have for any new save, insteald of normal, survival, permadeath, etc: campaign, profession, expedition, creative. The first two can be done in survival/permadeath too.

I'm really tired of need to do all the initial steps and have then artemis path and atlas path and so on when I just want to role-play or explore the galaxy o my own terms.

#

Nice update but... [Discussion]

It feels kinda superficial to the game expiation was a lot of fun but I would more depth and world building like mini games for every alien race building some spaceship what would you like to see that will give more depth to the game

I went on to my first expedition save and it says that someone else discovered about half the stuff in my system. [Bug]

When the expedition started I went out and searched for a new solar system that hadn’t been discovered yet. I found a few and eventually chose a tropics planet with pleasant weather. I scanned most of the fauna on all of the planets but I’ve gotten back on today and it says that it was discovered by someone else. The system says it was discovered by one person while half of the planets says they were discovered by another, including all of the plants, animals, and minerals on those planets.

I realize it’s just a visual glitch or something but it is annoying to see the place I had kind of made my home is just suddenly someone else’s discovery. Is this what the Native Americans felt like when Columbus arrived?

Vr dlss missing? [Information]

I've just reinstalled the game from game pass after not touching it for some time, after seeing that dlss is now available. However, I can't find any option for it? Is the game pass version not updated yet? I have an rtx2060.

Incompatible save file please help! [Question]

5 days ago I went to load up the game after playing the day before and my save file says it's incompatible with this version of the game? For context i am using the xbox gamepass version (it's probably not as cool I know but I'm poor so get over it). I have not been able to find anything online that will help and really don't want to start over as I have quite a bit of time put into the save. I've already tried the save file editor but it doesn't find the game files.

#

More player creations [Suggestion]

I'd love to see an update that implements player creations apart from just base building.

An in game system that allows the player to create and design and even sell various things such as ships, armors, guns. All that can be made with rare resources found in the game.

What do you guys think?

#

Space station core theory (there’s no flair for this) [Suggestion]

Remember a while back when everybody was thinking they should allow you to own entire solar systems? Well this could be it. With the Station Override, you could take over the core and make the station, and therefore the system, yours.

This is all a theory, and it isn’t definite. This is just what I think.

#

On PC, should I just get the game from Xbox Game Pass? [Question]

Would there be any difference to the game by getting it from game pass rather than steam? Just not really wanting to purchase the game again after becoming a pc gamer. But I had an upset with City Skylines not being the “pc version” getting it in this manner.

Prisms on Xbox SX: stutters [Discussion]

Is it just me or does anyone else experience a loud „bump“ noise from their fairly quiet console from time to time, and a momentary freeze that accompanies this bump? It‘s the exact same bump noise that occurs when the console is turned on.

This happens haphazardly, especially during in-atmosphere flight. Happened 3-4 times now.

#

Stuttering after Prisms update (PC Win10) [Question]

Is anyone else stuttering like crazy after todays update? I'm on Win10 platform with the game pass. DLSS also is missing from the settings but wouldn't be using that anyway. I'm running ryzen 2600x with a 3070 and 32 gigs of ram. Updated my graphics drivers too. Anyone know a fix and is someone else having similar issues? Stuttering/Freezing 10 to 60 seconds randomly and quite regularly.

How is the co-op experience? [Question]

I've played over a hundred hours solo, thinking of coming back to the game after a long absence, I see there are tons of new content. I've been playing Valheim with a friend lately and the coop gameplay has been great. I know NMS isn't necessarily designed for co-op, but wondering if anyone who has played with a buddy can chime in. From the looks of it, does co-op add anything to gameplay? It seems both players have to do everything individually still. Is it worth starting a NMS co-op journey from scratch?

Thanks

Can't play with friend [Bug]

Hello. This has happened after the new update. A few days ago I created a world to play with my brother and so far so good. After the new update, my brother can join my lobby but he can't load the game. Anyone know a solution to this problem? Thanks.

#

All of my farms reset every time I start the game [Bug]

So recently I'm encountering a bug that is causing all of my farms to reset when I boot up my save. So for example, my activated indium mine is always storing 0, and all of my plants are always at the start of their timer. Has anyone encountered this or better yet, fixed it? I have over 200 hours in this save and I really don't want to have to abandon it over a stupid bug

#

What do you guys do to have fun when you spend time in this game? [Question]

I have close to 100 hours on the game but at one point just left it last year, I've been following the updates and it has been tempting to come back but the freedom of the sandbox aspect makes me feel like I can't be bothered to open it and do whatever.

What I'm asking you is simply to give me tasks to do to have fun when I come back to my game, I already finished both story paths if I remember correctly.

Thank you for taking the time <3

Playing No Man's Sky on 2 PS5s? [Question]

I'm lucky enough to have 2 PS5s. As I understand it, as long as I have ps+ my daughter should be able to play No Man's Sky with me on the second console without her needing a PS+ account? PlayStation themselves say family members can play online games if I have a ps+ account

I've not been able to get a multiplayer game going with her. My friend code isn't found and it doesn't give her an option to generate a friend code.

Feels like this should be easy, 2 PS5s on the same network with the game loaded on both

Any ideas?

Lasers from another dimension [Discussion]

Has anyone else experienced a mysterious laser from another dimension that starts shooting at you when you are on your freighter bridge, in the space station or while building your base on a planet? It's happening a lot lately. I'm just minding my own business building something then all of a sudden sparks start showering off the walls or ceiling as if a green phase beam is shooting at me. But there's NO ONE THERE. No ship, no player, just random laser beams from the aether. I usually step outside and look around because I figure if someone is trying to kill me they'd keep shooting. But it's just a creepy phantom laser and it's freaking me out.. Anybody else have this one?

#

We need to be animal traders [Suggestion]

Now that we can capture a massive variety of pets, we need to be able to trade them. Just imagine your job is to go to exotic planets and capture the coolest creatures out there to trade. That would be such a fun business!

With the gene sequencer, you could be a customer order pet provider.

What if Capital Freighters could have the ability to admit smaller regular-class freighters into their fleet just like you can with frigates? [Suggestion]

I noticed that when you purchase a freighter, you only get the freighter you purchased, and one Frigate (If it's your first freighter), but what about the other freighters/cargo pods behind that main freighter? I think it would be cool seeing a large army of small freighters & frigates scattered through out the fleet rather than just your frigates around the Hangar of the freighter. Here are some stats I have made as to how the freighters and cargo pods work: You can own up to 8 Cargo Pods & 5 Freighters if you own a Capital Freighter, and up to 4 Cargo Pods & 3 Freighters if you own a regular freighter. Regular Freighters can vary in class from C to S-Class, and Cargo Pods can range from B to S-Class Freighters need to be docked on and purchased by clicking "Add to Fleet" when buying it from the Freighter's Commander. Upon purchase, the player must leave the freighter before the hangar locks down (making NPC and Player Starship docking unavailable), and the freighter warps to the player's Main Freighter. Cargo Pods are purchased just like Frigates, only they are labeled with a Yellow indicator rather than a Green one. Cargo Pods increase the amount of the same item you can hold in a storage container depending on it's class: B-Class: 4% increase per cargo pod A-Class: 8% increase per cargo pod S-Class: 12.5% increase per cargo pod Regular Freighters can Give you an extra Storage Container Inventory Slot (1 slot per freighter, so up to 5) The Freighter's Class Rating does not affect this. The Freighters can Boost your main freighter's Fleet Coordination stats depending on the Freighter's Class: C-Class: +10 Fleet Coordination per freighter B-Class: +15 Fleet Coordination per freighter A-Class: +20 Fleet Coordination per freighter S-Class: +25 Fleet Coordination per freighter...

New - Should I Get The Game? [Question]

I like games I can get lost in & No Man’s Sky, prior to its release, seemed like the game.

It didn’t have the best release, wasn’t well received & that put me off buying it (like Cyberpunk now).

But I keep reading of updates & how the game is nothing like the game it was when it was first released.

But IGN & other mainstream reviewing companies rate FIFA 21 above average when its one of the worst games & they succeed because they’ve monopolised the licenses of most football teams.

What’s the good things you can do in No Man’s Sky, I guess? I want to hear from a few so I can get an idea of what to expect ...

Stars at incorrect depth in VR [Bug]

Reinstalled for the Prism update and noticed something new with the stereo depth of stars. They seem to be at a fixed depth in space or on planet surfaces, and sometimes even appear closer than geometry close to the player (trees, terrain, asteroids, etc).

Performance is MUCH improved with DLSS, but I still wound up feeling a little ill after an hour of so of playing since my eyes were constantly confused. Anyone know of a fix?

Unable to mine silicate powder? [Question]

Has this update changed the way in which we gather silicate powered, terrain manipulator does not collect silicate powder for me, I just. Depleted my terrain manipulator three times before realizng I'm not collecting anything. Has this been.changed with the update, or do I just need to restart the app?

#

Flight Controls Glitched? [Question]

I've been wrestling with my ship when it comes to any sharp maneuvers. I play with the "locked" control scheme. Despite this, if I turn hard enough in one direction, the ship behaves as if I've got some sort of invisible tethered controls in the background. It will just keep on turning until I move my mouse the other way enough.

This makes space combat extremely frustrating, as I have to figure out how much I need to move my mouse back after tight turns before it will actually respond to new directions. I was under the impression that I should be able to take my hand off the mouse with locked controls and I'll stop turning, so now I'm wondering if this is a glitch (potentially one people know how to fix), or just something I have to live with.

Thanks in advance.

Lightning... [Question]

I’m on an extreme planet and every time there is a storm I die to the lightning, even inside my base. Is there some way to prevent this?

Does anyone remember how amazing the base game melee jetpack movement was? [Discussion]

I've been coming back to the game lately and I fucking love what they've done with it, but there is one thing I will always miss and that is the original jetpack + melee combo.

So for those who didn't play on release the melee worked a little differently in that it would have you dash in any direction you wanted. So if you held back and melee'd that's where you went. This meant that you could jetpack + melee in any direction and it felt amazing. Not the biggest change in the world but just gave you a bit more freedom of movement, would be amazing if they could bring it back!

Anyone else remember this or is it just my unhealthy obsession with movement in games.

Such Shine [Discussion]

Freighters and fleets, crossplay, pets, flying pets, expeditions that spur a Mass Effect, existential dread and derelict monstrosities...

Truly, update after update is just stellar in content, big or small, and it has guaranteed this game to be something I and my partner always return to. Particularly, getting to see the messages left behind by so many of you in the Expeditions and to observe the creations you wove in such a short period of time have been extra fun in recent days. Hello Games deserves so much accolade for their attentiveness and community spirit.

I'm curious, though, what to date has been everyone's favorite shiny additions to this game over the years?

And what's more, what do you hope for in Expedition 3 and beyond?

(For reference, we play on the PS version.)

Can't find the exosuit backpack in the store [Question]

Im stuck with the main mission [Question]

Im a relative new player, so I usually google stuff but I still haven't found the answer to this question. On the main quest alone amidst the stars, i have a mission in a Gek space station to talk to the mission guy. But when I do, he says something that only half of it is translated because I haven't unlocked the words yet, and then I can't interact with him anymore, only leave. This is very strange because it is required for the main story, but in other space stations, i can accept missions And get rewards for them, except the one I'm supposed to do. Anyone know the solution?

Cant start Beachhead Expedition, help? [Question]

Greetings Travelers, I recently started playing NMS again after seeing the Normandy itself was here, so I updated it to V3.50 (damn prisms is amazing) but when I start a new save, the Expeditions tab simply says "Expedition Completed", referring to the previous one, and it wont let me start another. I have no other saves besides one normal mode, and my multiplayer is turned on, plus I tries restarting the game several times. So I'm not sure what gives, any help would be seriously appreciated

Hello games should be incredibly proud of themselves!!!! [Discussiont]

Let me start off by saying that when this game launched, I was on here pretty much wanting Shawns head on a plate lol, I felt very decived. The game was not at all what was promised.

I recently came back, and all I can say is WOW! This game is an absolute masterpiece. All the updates to correct a messy launch from an independent developer should make half of the triple A studios ashamed of themselves.

I'm not going to go on and on, but hats off to Mr. Murray for the dedication he put into this game, turning it around like no other game in history has.

This game is totally amazing!!!

#

Race tracks for ships? [Suggestion]

It occurred to me in the course of a discussion elsewhere in this sub. We can make racetracks for exocraft. What about a similar concept for spaceships? User-made race courses, set out simply by dropping start/finish and checkpoint buoys.

They could be in space (weaving around asteroids?) but also in the atmosphere of a planet (taking you through canyons, around mountains, etc). Wouldn’t that be a fun addition to the game that (I imagine) wouldn’t be tremendously difficult for the devs to add...?

#

The STARS! [Discussion]

Let me just make a small appreciation post for the night sky that’s in the game now. I didn’t know how much it would really affect my game until I got in and just glanced up. It caught me off guard and all I could do was stare. It reminds me of the times when I would just stare up at the night sky in Skyrim and I can’t say enough how thankful I am for this small but major detail. Thank you, hello games.

The water needs a visual upgrade in this game [Suggestion]

It doesn't look good at all, I'm on pc with every setting at max and it's the only thing that sticks out. The reflections are very low res and there is this white lines around the water that shimmer and just look awful.

I hope they can improve the look of the water at some point

Very Buggy Latest Update? [Bug]

So, loaded up my long-term save (last played Oct 2020, 280ish hours) today. I have crashed 4 times, with a total of about 10 minutes played.

1st loading - crashed as it was loading the planet I was standing on.

2nd loading - crashed as I entered the Anomaly

3rd loading - crashed as I left Anomaly with a mission

4th loading - crashed as I landed on a planet where my garden base is. Also the Anomaly mission bugged itself (killed all pirates, still asking for more pirates), so I had reloaded the save in Anomaly and just left.

Is there some setting I should check to help this not happen? Are old bases just going to be buggy? Planets I've already been on?

Since last playing this save (Oct 2020), I did start up each expedition, but realized I had no desire to start fresh and didn't pursue either (I have started 2 saves, my normal and a perma for the achieves). I thought I'd enjoy the additions since I last played, but seem to be just enjoying the loading screens so far.

Fiend Pets With Save Editor [Question]

So I came across a very interesting happening, suxh being someone with a fiend (biological horror) pet, and have been trying to replicate that. The method I've been attempting to use being to edit the JSON in save editor but I cannot find any of the raw data for the fiends to replace my current pet's data with. Is there a repository for the non-procedural creature data or is there another way someone knows about that can be used to achieve the same effect?

The new no man's sky prism update system requirements(as of New update) [Question]

So till the prism update launched, my system settings were compatible with the game, according to theory testing at least. So with the graphical overhaul with the prisms update like they mentioned in their website, how much should I need in terms of graphical/processing / overall requirements... As in do the overall requirements change to run the game ?

( System specs in brief

Processor : amd a10-7700k 4c+6g Ram : 2x8gb Gpu : Gigabyte gtx 1650(gddr6)

)

P. S. the cpu might seem very old but without a gpu, it could launch no man's sky back when I had a no man's sky account, also let's say last half of 2020 when i last played the game... Since then I do not have access to my previous account to check my new gpu with the update and the game so I have to rebuy the game on steam. Which is why I ask, that if my system without the gpu could run the game as of October 2020 let's say, can it run the game with the above mentioned gpu with the prism update ?

What would you want from the next big update/upgrade? [Discussion]

I know ship customization is a big one for a lot of people (myself included) but what else could they give us?

I was trying to think about it and one thing I'd like would be the ability to place animals in enclosures at a base. Like a zoo/farm kind of scenario where I could not only leave the creatures I've tamed from various places, but also have an auto feeder/harvester get milk and whatnot from them. Just seeing all my critters hanging about would be pretty cool!

Also I'd love a better and more robust UI for teleporters where I can see a full list of all the galaxies I've discovered + all the galaxies I have quests in as options to teleport to, and clear indications of what quests I have there (if any.)

And lastly an indicator for whether or not a system has been previously discovered or not on the galaxy map would be huge! Trying to discover 10 previously undiscovered systems in the last season challenge thing was a giant PITA because of there being no indicator.

What do y'all want in the next update?

#

Starship customization [Suggestion]

I think it would be cool if we had more customization options for starships. As of right now, the only customization (regarding appearance) we can do is change the ship's trail color between red, green, gold, rainbow, and purple. I hope sometime in the near future we will be able to change the color of the ship itself, and/or be able to add decals like with exocraft.

Multiplayer Questions regaurding ships and progression. [Question]

I have been playing multiplayer with a friend so we can adventure around together. One thing I noticed is when I went to the systems death star lookin place ships were not coming and going like I have seen in gameplays I have watched. That is how I figured I would aquire a new ship, but alas I haven't seen a single one. Do they spawn in multiplayer? Another question I had was with progression. The way it looks our missions complete based off of individual progression versus us as a team. I have recently built a base we both used, as he was a little slower at completing his tasks. If he plays by himself, or vice versa, will what we built be there for the other player? Or when if we change hosts or play single player will it reset our progress? Thanks in advance for any info

Do i need to progress to a certain point to join others games? [Question]

I am on a PS5 and my previous game was on an xbox one. So starting fresh and playing with my buddy on a PS4. We had no issues playing together before but since I started a new character I cant see him in the multiplayer menu (we added as friends) however he can see me! Was wondering if this is a bug or an issue with progress?

Thanks in advance

Expeditions [Question]

Hi! I just came back to the game and saw some amazing rewards for expeditions. However, I cannot seem to find where to start them, and it's not letting me start a save file as an expedition. If there is more in the future, will I be able to get the same rewards?

Understanding NMS Multiplayer [Question]

I've been playing NMS off and on for a while and have always struggled with making the multiplayer work. I want to understand if I'm doing something wrong, or if this is just how the game is.

I came back to the game after completing the new Expedition. Today, I built a new base on a new planet and put down enough buildings to upload the base. I renamed the system and the planet and uploaded those, as well.

I wanted to show my pal the planet and base, so I started up a multiplayer session with the right save, and invited him to join my group. After about half an hour, we gave up. He couldn't see the base in the teleporter network even though I could, and I had jumped so far away from him that there was no way for him to find me.

This isn't the first time I've had issues like this. I've checked the network settings in the NMS menu and everything seems fine. Please, fellow pilots, help me understand how the multiplayer works. Am I missing something?

Is there an easier way to upgrade suit? [Question]

I was happy when NMS added the ability to quickly upgrade ship & multi-tool slots (you can do it in one space station as long as you've got the cheddar). However, I find upgrading the suit slots is a major chore. You can only add one slot per station/anomaly....that's 2 upgrades per system (plus whatever pods you can locate on a planet's surface).

Am I missing something? Is there an easier way I'm not aware of?

#

Question from a launch player. [Question]

Haven't played NMS since launch, with occasional hops back in during one of the early updates.

With all the new content, should I start a new character, or can I hop on my old vanilla character (who is kitted out with a bunch of S rank ships etc) and not be completely lost?

Version Mismatch when trying to join friend on PC [Bug]

We both have the game on PC through Xbox Gamepass beta, we both recently downloaded the game and we both believe that we have it up to date with updates and patches. We're not sure what is stopping us, but all it says is "Version Mismatch".

Any help would be great!

VR Xbox controller. Right stick not responding when in ship. [Question]

I'm trying to set up my XB controller in VR (I only want it for flying)

When I map the right thumbstick in flight controls to use as joystick and "steer" it doesn't respond to inputs.

The left stick is set as "dpad" and it works as do all the other buttons. Additionally the right stick works on the ground to move around with and is set as a joystick.

Any ideas how to get it to recognize "joystick" inputs for "steer"ing from the right stick in flight?

Is there a way to claim a ship without abandoning your main ship? [Discussion]

I found a pretty decent crashed ship on a planet I wanted to scrap. I thought you could just hop out of your ship, hop in the other to claim it, then get back your main ship. Apparently I’m mistaken. Once I sat in the crashed ship my ship was unaccessible and I couldn’t summon it or anything. I’ve tried all the tricks online and it seems quite a few people have ran into this problem. I had a lot invested in my main ship.

I really think there needs to be a way to claim a ship, frigate, or multi tool without it automatically swapping. In fact, this seems like a super obvious thing that should be in the game. There needs to be an easier way to manage this stuff.

(Not serious) rant about transparency [Discussion]

I love the Prism update. But I have a small complaint.

I use a lot of glass in my base construction, particularly glass-roofed corridors (I like to let in lots of natural light). So I’ve turned a lot of frost crystals into glass, for construction purposes.

Now, I don’t know if anyone has examined glass-roofed corridors since the update, but they’re NOT GLASS anymore. They’re Plexiglas. They’re wavy, uneven, and have lots of small scratches on them.

And don’t tell me it’s the curvature. The big bay windows on my large round rooms are curved, and THEY’RE made of glass!

I didn’t harvest all those cold, cold crystals with my hazmat gloves to end up with friggin’ plastic! WATF, Hello Games?

(Seriously, though, very impressive textures. Good work on the graphics! HG!)

What would you like to see the game tackle next with its update? Details in comment. [Discussion]

I love No Man's Sky, I got it on the midnight release and repurchased online to support the company. They do so much for the community and should be lauded. However, there are things that maybe the community would like to see and things that need refinement. 1. Improved gun combat: Whether exploring, farming, or dogfights in space there is plenty of variety, but the one that still feels the most clunky, to me, is gunplay. It feels for lack of a better word floaty (and I do not mean the jetpacks). Also weapons feel like they do not have a huge impact and seems less lucrative then some other ways you play the game. There are of course many ways they could fix it, but me personally would like gunplay and enemies to react a bit more like doom. By which I mean enemy projectiles are visible and give you time to dodge, and player weapons feel unique. I also think there should be more enemy variety in both sentinels and the abomination. Maybe add new tools that make each player unique and give more depth and variation to combat. If you think weapons should be improved first, tell me how you would go about doing it? 2. Aerial Combat/exploration: I think many would like to see medium sized frigates they have to pilot with friends and work together, kind of like sea of thieves does. Maybe also adding in new emeies to fight such as pirate or sentinel stations, or living organism that hunt the vaccume of space. Exploring could be made interesting by adding in more debris to find naturally and maybe even navigating Gas Giant planets. 3. New ways of discovering lore: When I think of the little shrines and ruins, they can be interesting, but I thought maybe you could locate massive temples that require you answering riddles or finding keys, and once you get inside you have to navigate traps and maybe old security measures to keep out enemies. When...

Should I buy? [Question]

• AMD Ryzen 5 3600 @ 4.0 GHz

• 32GB (4x8GB) @ 3200MHz

• ASRock X570 EXTREME4

• Nvidia RTX 3090 24GB - Founders Edition

I remember the game being advertised and being excited for it.

I remember being disappointed with the delivery and broken promises.

Since then I've very loosely followed NoMansSky and noticed they've had plenty of updates. Always looked into it but never took the plunge. Honestly after an update or so? I stopped caring and moved on. Then I got the Valve Index. I've spent tons of time in VRChat, played through Half Life: Alyx, committed genocide in Blade & Sorcery and Gorn. Then I remembered NoMansSky has a VR mode. I've been interested and waiting for a sale to maybe pick it up but it seems it very very rarely drops below a 50% discount. So I'm contemplating pulling the trigger but before I do...I have some questions.

​ How is the VR port?

Does it run smooth? Is it immersive? I love VR but don't wanna play something that feels more like a gimmick than a good "Made for VR experience". How's the game itself?

I remember hearing the main story is a bit of a drag and not all that engaging. Of course this being anecdotal evidence it's open to ones opinion. But is the game repetitive? Will it hold my attention? How easy is it to just jump in and play occasionally? Or is it a "Sit down and play for hours" sort of game?

What about base building and different ships and such? Is it planet based and I have to return when I wanna access my collection of stuff? Can I just get a big ship to transport my smaller ship in that I use to go down to planets? Is there much of a grind? Do I have to constantly swap out my ship for better ones? I do want actual gameplay and not feel like a courier the entire time. How's Multiplayer work?

Is it squad based? Open world? Connect with those near you? Put out beacons or signals? Similar to how Dark...

I’d love to see planets influenced and developed based on the economy and maybe race of the system [Suggestion]

So planets that could have settlements and/or even fully developed cities on them and depending on the economy and type (manufacturing etc) they could be bigger or smaller and have multiple markets and buildings offering specific materials maybe. This is just all to add some more life and density to planets as I feel like the planets are abit too open and dead so maybe adding this type of stuff would be awesome I think. Just a suggestion I’d throw in that could spice up some of systems in the game!

S class freighter [Question]

I want to upgrade living ship space , I've heard that you need to use cargo bulkheads on a freighter with the ls as your current ship, I want to trade my a class freighter for a new terrible one, would I have to remove all my items from the freighter and would I have to delete my base?

#

Does multiplayer mess up anyone else's wiring? [Bug]

I made friends with a new player in the anomaly, gave him some stuff, and then I took him to my main base to, well, show off. The problem is, when he visited, a lot of the electronics got broken! My automatic doors (with a proximity switch and a power inverter) were stuck shut, and I had to delete the switches and the wiring and replace them to make them work again, only for them to stop working again when I walked away. My short-range teleporters started going to random other teleporters instead of the ones they were wired to.

Once he left, replacing the wires/switches fixed the problems, and the fixes stuck that time! But is there any way to prevent this? This seems to happen every time a friend visits my base, and since parts of the base are on floating islands high enough that I can barely reach them with six S class movement modules, fixing the teleporters especially is a pain.

Mouse Locks up for no reason [Bug]

This issue only occurs in no mans sky, ill be playing, and every 10 seconds or so(inconsistently), my mouse input will just lock up. everything else still works, but I cant look around or do anything. it happens while walking around or while in a space ship.

Honestly, i really wanted to play with DLSS, but this is making it unplayable.

VR Hud only at specific angle, not a new issue [Bug]

I'll move this if its the wrong spot, but this isn't an issue w/ the latest release - I'm only reporting/starting to care because I think I can finally play in VR thanks to the DLSS update.

Is anyone familiar with an issue where the HUD only appears at a specific angle of the head? This isn't just the helmet HUD but the in-game menu's as well.

If I look at a specific angle, I see the hud, if I move my head in any other direction the hud disappears. Cannot cleanly navigate menus, manage in-game popups, or CTA's on in-game objects.

Ryzen 5 5800, 3080, 16 gig ram, Quest 2.

I'm not running mods and have validated NMS game files through steam. This happens through Airlink and virtual desktop both.

Why can't my friends see my base? [Question]

I'm fairly new to the game and I'm having trouble figuring out why my base isn't "viewable" for my friends when I'm not online...? I've uploaded and saved my base multiple times, I've been told that's how you do it, but it still won't work. What am I missing or doing wrong? Thanks in advance. I'm on xbox, if that makes a difference by the way.

If you think No Man's Sky is boring... [Information]

That is perfectly fine. It is not for everyone. But I see a lot of people say the similar things about the game. And I just want to point out some answers to their problems with the game. I am not saying you are wrong. I just want to offer advice so you can enjoy the game more.

"The game is too grindy."

It is a survival game, it has been officially recognized as a sandbox survival game since before launch. If you don't like Subnautica, Terraria, Minecraft, etc. You are probably not gonna enjoy NMS on normal mode. But guess what? There is more than normal mode.

If you don't enjoy the early game grind (which ends about 5-12 hours in the game, by then you will have access to plenty of upgrades such as extra inventory space, self recharging launch thrusters, etc.) you can just play on creative mode, infinite resources at your disposal. You can't do a story missions or get any achievements but at least there is no early 5-12 hour grind for you.

"The game is too easy."

Then choose the survival or permadeath difficulties. If you still find it easy then good for you. try handicapping yourself in game (no upgrades, no teleporters, etc.).

"The game gets boring after a few hours, all you can do is fly around and mine rocks."

Maybe about five years ago you would be right. But oh boy you are so objectively wrong now.

The point of the game is there is this big universe, it is up to you to decide what you want to do in it. If you don't know where to start well....

First you need to do the main story missions at least until you reach the Anomaly. After that? Just keep exploring. That is the core of this game, exploration. You should try the derelict freighters or go do Nexus Missions. Or you can do regular missions. If you had enough of those things, then try looking for some cool creatures to finish building your team of pets. Use the machine in the...

Am I the only one that tries to make the game harder for myself? [Discussion]

I play No Man's Sky in Normal mode. Not really fond of the survival mechanics and stuff, but when it comes to money (units) I always try to be unfair against myself, doing stuff like decling free freighters, free ships, gravitino balls, exploits envolving cobalt, etc.

I try to do that because i think this game's economy is very unbalanced, and when i don't really have a goal i always focus on earning units through unusual methods, that envolve some kind of gameplay. Does anyone else have the same feeling?

The beginning is ridiculous... [Discussion]

I've been playing the game since it released. I love this game, I love Hello Games for keeping up with it, but good god I cannot stand the beginning of the game. I wish more than anything that there was an option to skip past the Artemis questline. My partner just started up a new game, and I forgot just how incredibly tedious it is to find a portal and get them over to my system (we're playing on the same console mind you). We had the same problem last year when they first started playing, and it's just gotten worse by now. I hate how random everything is about this game. I know it's part of the charm, but it's so frustrating having to wait possible hours to play with someone. I almost flat out refuse to begin a new playthrough because of how long it'll take. I have no problem with a time investment, but I find it hard to justify that such a big part of the game is inaccessible early on. If you told me that No Man's Sky was an exciting, multiplayer game about space exploration and adventure, I'd buy it in a heartbeat. And then I would be absolutely buried by how long it took to connect with my friends. I know it's supposed to be part of the journey but for those of us who have completed the journey, the beginning is not the exciting part; it's the trip itself. I'm just ranting at this point but I sincerely hope Hello Games changes the beginning eventually, or at least adds the option to skip it.

Why is my main save greyed out (e.g. not selectable) when I try to join my friend’s multiplayer game? [Question]

Hello friends. Any insight into what I’m doing wrong here? I just want to join my friend’s game (she is hosting) with my main save, but it’s not selectable. I’m only able to join her with one of my expedition saves. When we reverse roles (e.g. I host and she tries to join), it’s the same problem.

When to reload? [Question]

So I found this amazing-looking fighter at a trading outpost when I went there to sell some things, and it just so happened to be in a 3-star economy. I want to try to do the reload trick that one of my friends told me about, but I'm kinda confused. Sometimes when the first wave of ships comes in, the ship I'm looking for doesn't show. But other times, it does show up in the first wave. So for each reload, should I sit and wait until the ship I'm looking for shows up, or should I just reload after the first wave?

Xbox One - Save slot issue - Need help [Question]

VR: the HUD needs to be locked to view, not an arbitrary fixed point. VR QoL features update sorely needed. [Suggestion]

i already logged this via official channels but i figured id drop it here as well. Given the long standing state of the VR controls and UI i dont have high hopes but.. i guess you never know

Ever since VR mode has been introduced players have been complaining about how the position of the HUD has always been locked, never following a player's head. So when a player turns their head anywhere away from a full forward position they cannot view HUD info and will miss any popup messages that occur.

It would also be nice to have the very common VR game option of being able to choose one's dominant hand, as well as controls for fine tuning orientation instead of a single hard home to center everything.

These may seem like small things but the HUD issue in particular is enough to deter VR players entirely from getting into the game at all. Some people are cool with just sitting in their chair for VR but most people want to get up and really get into the experience. The current state of NMS VR does not encourage that.

I've tried looking on google but the only things that come up are from 2019, so any help at all would be greatly appreciated.

PSA: Xbox savegame problems- NMS is overwriting data for Expedition saves. Be Careful how you load. [Information, PSA]

Hey for all you Xboxers out there-- BE CAREFUL when loading your EXPEDITION SAVES from the Title Screen.

If you have savegame files from multiple expeditions (Expedition 1 and Expedition 2, for example), they can overwrite each other if you are not careful.

ALWAYS quit out to Xbox Home and "QUIT" the game using the quik-button menu (=) from the home screen, in between loading a new save.

If you dont, your savegame data from each savegame can/will overwrite the data on the savegame you are loading next.

IN DETAIL: Say you boot the game and load up your expedition#2 savegame and you play a bit, then you save and quit to the Title Screen.

If you then, from the Title Screen, load-up your other savegame from Expedition#1, the data from your previous game you were just playing (Expedition#2) will be overwritten onto your current (Expedition#1) game. Technologies can be duplicated (I have multiple Warp drives in my freighter now that cannot be dismantled, multiple jetpacks in Exosuit, and so on), and also the Milestones are also overwritten, such that your Expedition #1 milestone will erroneously say Beachhead instead of Pathfinder, and will display incompleted phases and such.

Just thought id mention this so maybe some of you wont have your saves all goofed up.

[XboxOneS, v3.5 Prisms]

PS: the changes to the savegame files appear to be permanent and now persist even after rebooting the console. So theyre borked for good, it seems.

Well I’ll be! [Discussion]

I bought this game back in 2016, had some decent fun, and even toyed around occasionally for a bit, but I haven’t touched the game in 3 years. When I saw the news about the last update (didn’t read into the details at all, just reminded me the game existed) I put it back on my list of games to play a bit of casually just for old times sake, and little did I know…

THERES SO MUCH MORE SH*T TO FIGURE OUT NOW!! Lol

So far I’m really enjoying myself just flying around and trying to explore the couple of systems around me, but I just randomly got the recipe for creature pellets and just found out that I can tame and ride things now???

Don’t get me wrong I played enough early nms to have a good idea of what WAS up, but this feeling of being lost in a whole universe all over again is really boggling muh mind rn, I really appreciate it :)

Is there a way to reroll your second living ship? [Question]

I know that with the very first get one you get, there is a method to do it right after you go through the portal and get the coordinates and keep reloading your save before you the receive the coordinates and have to go get your ship. But with all living ships after that, it just spawns as you hatch the egg and saving before you reach the ship and reloading save doesn’t seem to reroll the ship... idk if there is a quicker way besides having to fly through space over and over keep rehatching the egg

I'm glad people are excited about these shiny new updates. But something needs to be said [Discussion]

I love the extra work Sean and Hello Games have put into this game but can we please acknowledge the giant elephant in the room.

This game is a poorly optimised bugfest. Always has been. The performance on high grade machines is woeful. Pop-in around every corner. Low texture LOD at max settings. Heck, it isn't even possible on the gamepass version to change graphics settings without it crashing.

I see hundreds of people mentioning no DLSS on the gamepass version of the game. Where is the communication from Devs?

I love this game. Bought it at launch on PS4 . They have made a great comeback through hard work but there are still standards.

Please Hello Games, stop adding little additions and spend some solid time fixing these bugs especially the gamepass version of the game.

Companion List [Question]

I am curious what you have for companions and why.

I have a cute critter from my homeworld as I thought it was adorable. I just picked up a beetle today with the prism update.

(I had a dog looking one in my first expedition and when I equipped it with lasers it would shoot all the other fauna) I have one empty space and one still locked.

NMS VR DLSS [Discussion]

Hey,

Hum, let's say that i m not a fan of the DLSS implementation in the VR version... it's way way too blurry even in quality mode...

Does anyone know how is the base resolution calculated (the one who will be upscaled)?

Are the presets (quality, performance...) set in stone? or do they scale with chosen resolution or something else ?

I play on a 3080, but still would love some better AA, because in VR aliasing is still very noticeable and bothersome even with high SS. (and i would love to be able to play @ 120hz)

But at this point DLSS makes everything way too blurry even in quality mode with 140%SS

The one update that No Mans Sky is missing that'd take it from a good game to an amazing one [Suggestion]

I've played No Mans Sky for 2 years now and I've seen many people post about what they'd like to see in a new update. Some common ideas are things like:

Space ship customization

Dungeons

Own a space station

But I'm here to tell you that these aren't what No Man's Sky needs. They'd make for great additions, but they're not needed as desperately as this update. And that update is... Clans

This is my pitch for what a future NMS update should be.

Clans are the most needed feature in the game as of this moment for multiple reasons. No Man's Sky is a great exploration game but it lacks any meaningful multiplayer interaction. You can meet people in the Nexus sure, but will you get to know them? Do anything with them? Probably not.

Clans fill that void. Create a clan. Meet new people and invite them to your clan. Get your irl friends into the game and form a clan. Clans provide the social interaction the game needs to thrive in the future.

Clans aren't just a social feature, they're a gameplay feature too

In an ideal clan update, you'd be able to build a base for your clan. Somewhere that you can all meet up, tell stories, share unique worlds, etc. An upgradeable community base that you can all live in, like a space station. Dock your capital ships and spend your collected resources on both functional and cosmetic upgrades.

Do you want a clan base with gold trim? Maybe a pool table to play with? How about a dance floor for all your bytebeat music tracks? All would be possible with a clan base.

Clans could offer immersion in the world of NMS

What if your clan has a reputation with other factions, other clans? How do the Vykeen think of your group? Or the Korvax? Improve your standing with them to get rewards like base customization, new trade deals, and unique tools. Loot other faction...

Are there any planets with non-hostile storms? [Question]

I've been traveling a long time now, but I don't think I've ever seen a planet where the storms just involved rain and lightning, like on Earth. Like without being superheated or any such thing. Just curious if such a thing exists in NMS.

Can I still get a free first freighter on an expedition 2 save? [Question]

Heya all,

I know that in Expedition 2 you already start with a freighter.

I was however wondering if the free freighter you can usually get ( 3 hours of playtime, 5 jumps ) is still available? To hunt for an S-rank freighter.

If anyone knows it would help a great deal to get the information since I can't play right now to test it myself.

Much love

"Hello Games - let me throw a little money at you please.. It's been several years!!" [Discussion]

So.. Hello Games have been outstanding supporting NMS and listening to their fans. We've had update after update and zero paid content...

Is it just me, or is anyone else by now feel like they WANT to pay for a big new expansion/content of some sort?

Id LIKE to support them!! And love to see them release something chunky and with a real lump of new content whether it be a campaign or a load of new ships, places of interests etc..

By now I'm sure allot of people would like to show continued support. Jesus it got off to a rocky start, but in my eyes Hello Games are one of the very best (and now) most trusting games developers I can think of.

recap of the last 6 months [Question]

Same Save Since Release - Am I Getting Updates? [Question]

Hey guys, I've had the same save ever since day one and I feel like I'm missing out on something (bug fixes, quest fixes, etc) by not rerolling a new save. I have a pretty good processor/gpu which handles other high end graphics games amazing, but nms still lags with loading textures and sometimes creatures look like they're made out of play-doe. My terraformed base keeps regrowing the rocks into the middle of my base. Resources dissappear from my refiners unless I babysit them. I can't place a save beacon in my freighter which I guess other people can now?? The list goes on.

I love NMS but there are these little things that make it annoying to play, and when I see things like the prism update, I just wonder which parts of the update I'll actually be able to experience.

Has anyone experienced something similar? Any suggestions would be appreciated

Teammates [Question]

Hello, I'm looking for people to play together, I have a lot of experience in this game, but I don't care how much experience you have, I'm about the fun I'm 21 years old, I come from Germany and play on the PlayStation 5.

Game Doesn’t want to use my dedicated GPU [Bug]

Alienware m15 R2. People have talked about this issue on many a forum but haven’t seemed to get a definite answer. Ive done all of the regular stuff like going into Nvidia Control Panel and forcing the game to use it. But it still wants to use the Integrated graphics card. I cant switch it in game and disabling the integrated graphics causes the game to just not run.

#

Wishful thinking... [Discussion]

I just hope that NMS will eventually release on the new nintendo switch pro that is coming this year. Can you imagine to play this game in handheld mode? Would you buy the NMS again? Won’t be visually as nice as the next gen, but for me this is totally ok.

No Prisms on PS5? [Question]

Tried reinstalling twice yesterday, both PS4 and PS5 versions but it always says last update was Expeditions and is now up to date?

I'm puzzled. Was Prisms definitely released in UK yesterday?

#

Last armourer mission passed without destroing a walker ? [Question]

Just found out that it seems to be possible to complete the last armourer mission that ask to destroy 8 sentinels without having to fight the Walker (done it yesterday).

It seems that when HG increased the number of sentiles that spawn on every wanted level, they forgot to update the mission.

So now the mission spawn 4 Drones as first wave and 3 drones and 2 quads as second wave. But the total number of sentinels to destroy is still 8.

And if you destroy some drones that was there before the first wave spwan, but with the mission sterted, it still count toward the total.

Since it was a lot of time since the last time I'd done the base quest, out of curiosity: I got lucky of someone else got the same thing ?

#

Deeper Oceans? [Question]

How deep do the oceans in No Man's Sky get?

I've done a little exploration with the Nautilus, and I'm not expecting Subnautica style kilometres deep... but it all seems a little shallow. Maybe I just haven't explored enough water worlds.

#

Anyone else surprised they didn’t address water in this update? [Discussion]

I love NMS and HG, have 700+ hours in the game… been playing it since launch. But, one of my biggest gripes has always been water. I love what they did with prisms, but it seems like if a water fix isn’t in this update it probably won’t ever.

I’m sure it’s a graphical/resource constraint, but they’ve gotten around this by only allowing higher end graphical elements and techniques in ultra settings mode. So do that!

The game just gets better and better looking which I absolutely love, but the flip side to this coin is water gets worse and worse looking as everything else gets better.

Please, Sean!

I’m confused [Question]

SPOILER ALERT!

So, I just reset the galaxy, and I don’t know what to do from here. Is this the end of the game? What’s the difference in the galaxy choices? What’s going on?

Any help would be appreciated because I haven’t played in a while and just got back on today, and then I realized that I was almost done with this mission, but I don’t remember much about it.

#

What's left to improve? [Discussion]

OMG. NMS in VR is as amazing as it is frustrating! [Information]

Just finished playing my first working VR session in NMS, and I love it. The controls... yeah, let's just say I got most things to work. Flying through space though, that is everything I wanted in a VR space sim. I'm going to have to try and get some video next time I try it

PRISMS on PS4 [Discussion]

So I’ve tried out the new update today and on base PS4 and for me performance has taken a serious hit. Frame rate has definitely dropped and there is a weird delay when getting into and out of my ship. Also while the new warp animations are beautiful they seem to be taking longer and most of the time it all gets a bit clunky.

However, I really don’t mind all that much. I’ve sank hundreds, HUNDREDS of hours into this game and I love that HG are still trying to update and refine it. The game needs to move forward and shouldn’t be held back by older hardware. I mean I’ll get around to getting a better gaming machine at some point and will just return to it then. I’ve taken breaks from the game before so it’s fine. Keep up the good work HG.

Freighter hunting [Question]

Visual But with Freighter Storage Units [Bug]

I built a few Freighter Storage Units and they work fine. I can access the resources both from the room and from the "TAB" menu.

When I access the storage unit by interacting with the terminal, I can see the full 20 slots (organized in 5 columns by 4 rows). However, when I access the storage unit using the tab menu, the items are organized in 5 rows by 4 columns, and I can't see the last row. Please check the screenshots below to see what I mean.

I tried to delete and rebuilt the Freighter Storage Units but with no success. This occurs with all my storage units.

I am sure it was working fine before the Prisms update. Do any of you have this issue? Is it just a bug or do you have suggestion on how to fix it?

Storage Unite accessed by interacting with the terminal

Same Storage Unit accessed via the freighter's inventory menu.

The items can be accessed and moved to other inventories, but they are not visible

Prisms isn’t working on my series S. I think? [Question]

I have the 3.5 update downloaded on my series S and the website says series X/S are getting the update. But when I boot up the game it looks exactly the same. Is the update working for anyone else on series S or is it just me? Or is the update not apply to series S in general?

And just to add I tried shutting the game off and restart, deleting the game then re-download, and even restarting my Xbox.

I'm incredibly rich but i don't know how to spend [Suggestion]

A while ago (probably 6 or 8mo ago) when I was playing with 2 of my friends some randon dude came out and gave us something worth 15m(×5) and we somehow managed to duplicate it until each of us had like 7bil. They instantly bored and deleted the game, I've played it about 50h and made a fleet and got bored eventually :/ With the new update I wanted to give it a try but im not sure what to do with all that money

Getting out of your ship above water [Suggestion]

Add a feature that allows players to leave their ships above water

How will this work:

What will happen is when you're directly above water you'll jump off your ship and your ship will continue to float above water until you return to it or claim a crashed ship underwater

Attention Aspiring Flying Pet Tamers [Information]

The following flying creatures ARE NOT TAMEABLE: Birds Bats Dragons Eagles Sky Worms

If it's flying high up, you can't tame it. The only flying creatures you can tame either land (like beetles and the various butterflies), or fly low to the ground where you can reach them (like the gas cloud/"farting" fish, the flying elephant/dragon heads, and others). Also, I don't think "swarms" are tameable either, but I haven't tried.

VR completly unplayable? [Question]

So I just bought this game a second time ( I refunded first because VR was unplayable on a 1080ti) just to find now that it is even worse now. ( Nvidia 3070 ..)

What the heck is going on

Help please. Can't get any more Glyphs? [Question]

Hey I think I finished the Artemis story (nothing related to it anymore in my primary missions). Only primary missions I have listed are "Patterns in Time", "The Atlas Path" and "The Space Anomaly". I've been to over 100 space stations and only found 4 travelers (and got the 4 glyphs). Am I doing something wrong? Should I just keep warping to new systems and hope I eventually bump into more travelers on the space stations?

#

What the hell is going on? [Question]

So I haven't played in a LONG time, like years. I just loaded my save and needless to say a little overwhelmed. SO much has been added it's like starting a whole new game. After playing for a few hours I bought 2 friends the game so we can all play together. A few questions: My base is asking for power, I can't build a generator of any kind, where do I go about getting those schematics? it seems like I can't transfer goods from my freighter to my inventory any more? Maybe I'm missing something there. the planet my base is on is fucking HOPPING with sentinels, it didn't used to be that way. Is there any way to rid the planet of them? what's considered a lot of credits now? When I was playing if you had a million you were set for a good while can I play my PC save on my Nintendo switch?

Thanks everyone I look very forward to pouring many more hours into this?!

Walkthroughs/Streamers [Question]

I love this game and I am one of those guys that love to watch people play it too. Having the capability to have so many different experiences is awesome.

So, could you all recommend a good YouTube channel or Twitch streamer that does a good job showing off all this game has to offer?

Thanks!

Chat on PS4 [Question]

Anyone find a Trico yet? [Question]

I'm head over heels with these new updates. I only wish we had more slots!!

Antimatter Reactor [Discussion]

I have been playing NMS on and off for five years now. I'll play for a few months, then go off and do something else for a while. I have about 700 hours in my main save. I came back for the Expeditions update.

I recently noticed the Antimatter Reactor in my build menu. When I first noticed it I thought it might be some sort of power generation (even though it wasn't in the power section of the build menu). Obviously it isn't. Do we know if perhaps it was intended to be but then it wasn't implemented? As it is I don't see why anyone would need one. Crafting antimatter doesn't exactly require difficult components. It just seems "odd".

Oh, and why can't I build one on my Freighter? :D

Sure Flying pets are great but the DLSS support on PCVR is the real MVP [Discussion]

I got into NMS during the Pathfinder days and was hooked ever since. Played on PS4, then PSVR when they launched, then got an index and bought it for PC. I take breaks for a few weeks but always seem to come back to it. There's always hate about playing the VR version because it "looks like shit" and "the pop-in/draw distance is unplayable"... well let me tell you adding DLSS support seems to have fixed it. I went from having to run everything on Standard or Enhanced settings with the expectation that overlays would get jaggy and framerates would stutter when moving around on-world and that I'd never know what flora was a few feet away from me until walking next to it so it could spawn. Clicked that DLSS switch on with my RTX 2080 Ti and I can now crank everything to ultra settings and it plays SMOOTH!! I was able to stand on the edge of a cliff high up and see all the large flora and fauna in the ravine below as well as up the other side of the mountain in front of me. The framerates and quality soars even higher from the cockpit of the ship and I found myself mesmerized by the details in passing asteroids while flying around. Last night I got totally lost and immersed in a game I've owned for about 4 years and played for hundreds of hours and it felt as though I was playing it for the first time because the difference is AMAZING!

Thanks so much to Sean and Hello Games for fully supporting the hardware's capabilities! If you're a PC player with an RTX card and have been avoiding the game because of graphics woes I urge you to jump back in and give it a try!

Does anyone here play over Steam Link? [Question]

I love to play this game on the living room TV so my kids can better share it with me, but this game is the only one that doesn't work over Steam Link (I use the actual Link hardware).

It just goes to a black screen, but I can hear the audio in the background. No other game exhibits this problem, though I don't have others that are Vulkan based so I can't be sure if that's the problem.

My main system is running at 2560x1440 @ 165Hz with Gsync and my TV is 4k@60Hz but I think Steam Link only supports 1080p60 which is fine.

I've tried Borderless, Fullscreen, main monitor @ 60hz, gsync off, nothing seems to make a difference.

Anyone solve this problem?
