Anybody playing on PS5.... how’s the pop-in? [Question]

I’m on PS4 pro and the pop-in is pretty bad sometimes, I can be walking for a good 20 seconds when suddenly things pop up in front of me. It’s my least favourite thing about the game and can be pretty immersion breaking. So how is it on PS5? Any better?

Do discoveries still need to be "rediscovered" after a certain amount of systems are discovered? [Question]

Bit of a weird title, i know. But when you discover a certain amount of things, NMS used to make you have to rediscover them again (do believe they were still your discoveries, but didnt show up in the tab of the same name in the pause menu). I want to know if this is still the case now, as i only recently made a new save and the last time i played was early 2020. Thanks.

Ship Search Oddity [Discussion]

Came back for the new update... haven't played in a while.

I have been looking for an Explorer, my fave ship type. I have been to 5 Korvax systems, all wealthy, and I have yet to see an Explorer larger than a small one... max like 19 slots. Every single one of them is a small class Explorer. I have seen small, medium, and large Fighters and Haulers. But no medium or large Explorers.

Am I missing something or is this just REALLY bad luck of the draw? I can't imagine I haven't seen ONE ship larger than a small one.

Thanks...

Any way to restore lost items after second death? [Question]

Hello Travellers!

I was playing on my girlfriend's game because she said to find where the quest leads, and I landed on the planet near a toxic plant or something. I had to reposition myself and the plant killed me. The problem is, that after I was resurrected near the ship I died again and this happened 6-7 times in a row, I couldn't even open the menu I died always instantly. After I escaped by using my jetpack I went to the grave but I got no item back. I checked and the items are only available if you don't die the second time. Can I have my items back somehow? Reload the latest save is not an option sadly. Anything else that could help me? Now I have to sleep with the dog :I (just joking)

NEW FEATURE REQUEST: New antimatter creation system. [Feature Suggestion]

So I talked about this on another post and I realized I wanted to make it an official request. The OP was asking why we have an antimatter reactor if it's so easy to make Antimatter from chromatic metal. And it hit me that there is no reason to have it at all. But what if we changed how antimatter is made in the game as a whole and made the antimatter reactor relevant? here's the idea: (let me know what you all think) You can no longer make antimatter simply by crafting chromatic metal. You HAVE to use an antimatter reactor to do it. And in the early game they are only found on a system Freighter. Change the antimatter reactor functionality to become a REFINER (create antimatter from chromatic metals) in addition to a particle collector as it already is. What this does is force you to be a little more planned in your early game approach, and makes the idea of the lost traveler having to discover their way a little more realistic. Create an engine room on every freighter that is there in the layout by default (like the bridge, a fixed room). The antimatter reactor is already installed in this room and can be used to refine your first batch of antimatter. But the reactor will also continue to work as a "Bussard collector" in that every time you warp, it collects antimatter and recharges itself. (Talk about Sci-fi Crossover material!!) So we now de-emphasize warp hypercores in the later game and simply have a meter for antimatter fuel level once things get rolling. The entire experience starts to feel a little more realistic. And offers the possibility for creating a new NPC: the Ship engineer! You can have your own Scotty....

Here's what this impacts: You now HAVE to go purchase a cheapo system freighter in whatever system you start in because you can't leave until you refine some antimatter for your first warp jump. Those ugly freighters nobody would...

Desire to use PSVR (PS4) but with vanilla dual shock controller experience [Question]

Looked through posts about psvr and don't see anything specifically on this. My friend is disabled and really enjoys playing on NMS. We recently were given a psvr and wanted to set her up to sit and play the game using it. The VR is fantastic however the controls are extremely wonky. Even using dual shock, being required to "aim" them at everything, and being unable to "look" up without the control stick seems crazy and super inaccessible for disabled users.

Is there any way to override the in game settings and use dual shock vanilla, but maintain the added benefit of the VR 'in head' looking experience, which is really the main goal?

Discoveries getting reset [Bug]

I've been playing NMS again over the past couple weeks after a long hiatus and it's been great! However, when I logged in last night I saw that all of my discoveries I had uploaded/changed names were reset to their original names (scanned flora/fauna data was still visible at this point). I warped back to one of the systems, and when I arrived all the planets changed to unknown and all of my plant/animal/mineral scans were reset to zero. Landing on the planet restored the planet name to what I set it as, but all of the scan data was erased as if it was my first time there. Is there a way to restore this, or are they really all gone? This is extremely discouraging...

How to get a solid amount of nanites with using a gimmick? [Question]

Just starting the game up again on ps5 after previously playing on Xbox and want to do what I enjoy most (making fun bases). However to research blueprints and whatnot I’m low on nanites. Doing a quick google and everything I see is gimmicky (something about them falling from the sky) which I don’t love, but just scanning plants and animals seems pretty damn slow. So...

TL:DR what is an efficient way to farm nanites as the game intends?

Thanks in advance

Potential Freighter expedition bug [Bug]

I went to the navigator to plot an expedition with frigates but found that they all took more than 10h (some almost 30) instead of the previous ones which took 50min to 4h, the distance they cover is still the same though.

Missing Expeditions Feelsbad !! [Discussion]

As the title say, i wanted to get back into the game (havent played for like 3 or 4 updates, waiting for more content), and now i learned that you unlock stuff in the new gamemode (expeditions) but they are time limited, so i missed 2 of them already and a bunch of goodies and suddenly lost all my interest to even start the game again, this kind of thing should not exist in a mostly single player game that isnt even a competitive game, if i wanna do old expeditions i should be able to do them anytime i want, timed rewards are bad for the game and i think the game is going in the wrong direction, it really killed my mood.

Advice for time-poor player please! [Question]

So I work full time, have three kids, one of which is getting married in six weeks time. I get to snatch an hour here and there to play my PS5, so I’m never ever going to be able to get anywhere close to completing the game, or dedicate any length of time to it.

So far, I’ve played the first bit where I narrowly survived being burnt to death on a hot planet, and then wandered around finding a couple of resources.

How can I make best use of the little time I have, to get the most out of the game? I’m much more interested in exploration than combat.

Any advice appreciated!

My gf is thinking of buying NMS primarily so we can both build bases together. Is this possible? As in, if I build a foundation and floor panels, could she then start snapping walls to those floors?

Do You Play NMS High? If Yes, What do you Do? [Question]

What do you do when you're high and playing NMS?

My arthritis was causing excruciating pain and I had some pot to help mitigate the pain. Somehow, in the three years I've owned the game, today was the first time pot and NMS have overlapped.

I love base building, but each outpost I have set up for automated resource gathering has a different layout... Rather, they did until today.

This morning, I found that my love of base building was elevated. The pot amplified my love for fine details and fluid organization. So I tapped into that feeling and created a simple layout and changed all of my resource gathering outposts. My resource bases are standardized.

To those that play high, have you noticed any specific tasks or processes that you're drawn to when you are high? Do you find something more enjoyable than normal? Maybe less enjoyable?

Interested but skeptical in this game looking for some info. [Question]

Hello! I’m looking into finding more games to play and lately I’ve been really wanting a cool space survival game. Something like subnautica, Minecraft, or terraria in a space setting. I’m very put off by the way the game is now I was there and seen how terrible the launch was for this game as far as I know its basically added everything promised and more but Im still unsure about it. A few general questions. Is there combat? Is the combat decent at all? Im not looking for a terraria combat system just something would be better then nothing subnauticas main problem to me was the lack of defensive items but I understood what the message was and the game kinda benefitted from it. Sorry if this is a mess I just see the game is on sale and I want to know if it’s really for me. One last question is how good is the exploration? In a case like subnautica the exploration, immersion and horror made up for the lack of combat. So if there is combat and it sucks or it just doesn’t exist, does the exploration and all good enough to make up for that kinda aspect?

Stop with the graphic updates [Suggestion]

This game never has run well, it always had performance issues and you keep launching graphical updates, you need to understand that many people bought the game years ago and some of those people haven't upgraded their hardware because of many reasons, some simply won't do it and now some of those people can't play a game they bought years ago because the game now is forcing them to upgrade their hardware, that is just ridiculous. You need to enable some way to make this new graphical options to be optional it is not fair that people that could ran the game now they can't because you decided that they shouldn't be able to play the game they paid for years ago.

Instead of focusing on graphics you should focus on gameplay, the game overall needs more danger, we need better enemies and better gear, we need more combat, this game is in dire need of actual difficulty because the additions you have done are great but the world just never feels dangerous, and everything feels like a joke.

Regarding freighter color customization with prism update [Answered]

Hi there. Just recently got the prisms update on my series s and I seem to recall in the past that it used to take 5000 nanites to change freighter color.

However since acquiring an S class freighter it would appear nanites are no longer used, but when I go to change colors they are all locked.

My question is how do you unlock the colors since for this freighter anyways I can't use nanites anymore.

New to the game, a few basic questions [Question]

First thanks for the encouragement to try the game when I asked about gameplay details. It is indeed pretty chill, as I had hoped for.

To orient you, I am 15 hours in and still following the story, and still on the second planet. I have been to the space station once (quest step) and my next quest objective is another offworld marker. (The first planet was a high temp tutorial world which I assume was the same for us all.)

There are a few things I am keen to do but the path is not clear. Perhaps I just need to wait for the game to give them to me in the story? Can I teleport back to my base after walking a long way away? Can I save my game when I am away from my base and ship? I have a base save terminal but nothing else like it in the tech tree. Advanced mining laser... do want. Is it available yet? How can I build storage at my base? I assume this is possible but it isn’t in my blueprint tech tree.

Idea for the next big update [Discussion]

Even though the new update Prisms came out I still have thoughts about what I would like to see from a future update. The big one that I personally would love to see is an overhaul on space combat. Make dynamic factions both for offline and if you are playing with different people, have missions where you take down rouge enemy’s and pirates and whatever, have quests with different groups and make judgements on who you want to align yourself with. Maybe you just want to be a mercenary thats in it for the cash, or someone who wants to stop the ever growing threat of pirates and mercs and whatever, or even work with like some evil empire that wants to conquer the galaxy with an iron fist. And if your online have different clans on the map where people can join and forge these awesome bonds and friendships. Obviously this is just a rough idea of what I would like to see in the next big update in the game. I know that the game has some space combat but it’s not really that engaging to me personally and I love me a game with some killer space combat and I hope Hello Games can fix this in the future!

URGENT help with No man sky VR (wont launch in headset, tried everything) [Bug]

Im going crazy because I waited so long to upgrade my gpu and now it wont work with no man sky. I have a rx 6900xt and a ryzen 5 5600x. Im trying to play no man sky in reverb g2 headset. I've seen people with wmr headset have this problem and fix it, I tried theirs solutions and no for me. I've seen amd gpu users have this kind of problem and also fix it, tried all their solutions and no fix :c. Idk what to do, can someone help me? The first 2 times I launched the game it worked but some of the screen did not load and had a black area on the lower area of the screen permanently. After that every time I launch it it says "wrong video card" while my headset gets stuck in "next up no man sky". The game loads perfectly in my monitor and even tracks the movement of my headset. It just doesnt load in there idk why its making me crazy.

​

I must add that the first 2 times I opened no man sky it launched in vr, it had an awful section of the screen that stayed black in the lower part though. After that it just never opened in vr.

Game changed from 70~fps to 20~fps after latest update [Question]

First, my specs are a RX 5700XT, Ryzen 5 5600X, 16GB RAM 3200MHz, and the game runs on a NVMe SSD (Can't recall the speed), I use it to run the game at 3440x1440

With the same graphic setting the game dropped 50fps, I've even tried lowering the settings but only gain 5~fps max. I know it's not a heat throttle since I've been monitoring this while trying to see what the problem was and my GPU was at around 55 C and my CPU around 56 C, all my GPU is being used.

I'm thinking of maybe reinstalling the game, but I'd like to hear other ideas before deleting and reinstalling the game

Capital ship base building [Question]

I never was into base building in this game and always had a simple base in a planet just for the main quest. I wanna know if I could make my base inside the capital ship and have all the essentials. Is there something important I'd miss without a planet base like vehicles? Because I was planning to have a planet base just for vehicles and then my main base with all the essentials would be inside the capital ship.

How do I build a base on a planet with hostile sentinels? [Question]

So, it’s basically what the title says. I haven’t played the game in a while, but last time I played I put a base computer on a really cool looking planet so that I could live there.

I got back on the game after hearing about the prism update, and found this base computer. I started building, and I got a pretty good amount done, but then a sentinel came up to me.

That’s when I realized that the sentinels were hostile here. Is it possible to build my base here? Is there anything I should know about base building (I haven’t done it before)? Thanks in advance!

Depending on low-odds RNG hits as a substitute for intelligent design is fucking lazy, insulting, and disrespectful of your players' time.

Big framerate drops when looking at or walking near player built structures. Any fixes? [Discussion]

So with the DLSS update dropping recently I was excited to jump back into the game for that sweet FPS boost and increase in overall image quality. The game looks great now on DLSS Quality mode, but the FPS increase hasn't really helped with the strange drops that occur when player built structures are on screen. This for me has always been an issue on different PC hardware setups so I just always assumed that this would never change or couldn't be fixed but I hadn't actually looked into it before.

​

My hardware is quite good, RTX 3080, R9 3900X, 16GB of RAM and I play the game at 1440p. Everything has been set to Ultra with DLSS on Quality. Whenever a player structure is on screen, the game drops by 30 FPS or more depending on what the average framerate is per planet when not looking at a player built structure. The only thing that I've come across so far is assigning NMS to run on a specific amount of CPU cores, but that still doesn't eliminate the large framerate drops. On my main planet with my home base for example, the game runs great at around 120 FPS but when I turn around and look my base, I get a massive drop and the framerate gets cut in half or worse.

​

So is there a fix? Are there other general improvements I could make to lessen the drops? Is the game stuck like this until HG come up with a fix? OR is it just something wrong with my PC? Any help would be appreciated!

Game is now unplayable in VR [Discussion]

So I know it’s never ran particularly well in VR but it was definitely playable for me around a year or so ago using the Quest 1 and Virtual Desktop/Link Cable.

I reinstalled a few weeks ago and it’s now completely unplayable (both before and after the graphics update). Even with DLSS enabled it’s still really bad. I’m using a Quest 2 at 90Hz but it seems to be in reprojection constantly (45FPS), which would be fine if it was smooth and playable but it’s awful. Even with all the graphics settings turned down it’s bad.

The other thing is GPU usage is only around 70% and CPU even lower.

I don’t understand why the performance has degraded so badly.

We'll get the space station module with the next expeditions mode. How do I know this? Because it currently isn't ingame and I'm going off the last expeditions mode too.

What will the space station module do? Simple. You won't be able to own it as that's kinda stupid. No no. You'll be able to change the flight path so certain ship types land for ship hunting. I.e. fighters, haulers, shuttles and explorer's

Bounty Hunting system [Suggestion]

Imagine this:

One of the stands at space stations is a bounty board run by a fierce vy'keen who issues notices for fugitives on the run on dangerous planets out of reach by system authorities due to sentinel presence and harsh environments.

You, the anomalous traveller, are recruited to hunt them down through dangerous terrain and creatures into deep caves and high mountains and deliver them to the space stations for rare rewards.

This would both increase your standing among the dominant race in the system or if you wish you can collaborate with the bounty target if they offer a generous reward and help them flee.

No man's sky should have never made the story so forced. Change my mind. [Discussion]

I love no mans sky. It's not a game i've spent a whole of a lot of time on in the last year but i think its pretty great. What stops me from going back is when i take a break from a game i like to start a new run. In no mans sky. Starting again means sinking a bunch of hours into re-doing the "story". The story is. Well the story is ok i guess. However at least early on it's as engaging as a 90s RPG where you tend to skip all the dialogue because it's a bit boring.

I know there is creative mode and maybe the mode i'm about to mention does exist these days. However I just want a mode where you start in. Have all your basic building blueprints. I don't mind if your ship is broken still because it don't take all that long to repair. Have access to the atlas and online play from the start. Basically you start the game 5 hours in a standard playthrough and you're free to do what you please!

I don't think i've had a single friend play this game and not think its the most BORING game in the first couple hours. When they get past that they do find the game more interesting but a game shouldn't be its most boring when you start the damn thing. That's when you want it to be the most entertaining to get new players to keep playing.

Game crashes when landing at planet or base [Bug]

I'm having an issue with one of my bases/planets. Playing on PS5, started after the 3.5 update.

Basically I noticed when I tried to teleport to my base, the game would crash before loading into the base. Tried a few times before realising there was an issue. So I thought I could fly there and get to the base the long way around. So I went to the system and flew to the planet, but now the game crashes the instant I try and land on the planet. Anywhere on the planet. Other planets in the same system give me no issue.

No Man's Sky is not using my NVIDIA GPU [Bug]

I have a laptop that has an Intel GPU and an NVIDIA GPU. At first, when I run No Man's Sky the game crashes at launch and sends an error message that has error code: 73558_0xC7F4E_ST76561198100515433

After some searching, I find out it might be a GPU related error. I did all kinds of things but the problem remained. The closest solution I have is to disable the Intel GPU or the NVIDIA GPU, both let me get into the game. By checking the GPU activity icon opened by the NVIDIA control panel, it shows NMS is running under the NVIDIA GPU.

The problem with that is when I disable the Intel GPU, the game setting says it's running on NVIDIA GPU but the performance is so bad I cannot play. The task manager shows the NVIDIA GPU is at 0% usage. Which it seems to me, the game is not actually using the GPU. Can anyone help me with this?

I tried to see the usage on other games, it shows normally. So I don't think it's a display error on the task manager. I tried updating drivers, re-install the game, all sorts of modification to the TKGRAPHICSSETTINGS.MXML file (It always changes back to default, set it to read-only does not solve the problem. The value that should be the NVIDIA GPU is always either the Intel GPU or "Windows basic display driver" if I disable Intel)

So after all these, I think the issue is the game is not actually using the NVIDIA GPU? My GPU is GTX 1060 on laptop by the way

I got this game at the midnight release the day that it launched in the summer of 2016, and like just about everybody that played it at launch was massively disappointed and returned the game about a month later.

Recently I was scrolling through the Game Pass with my girlfriend and saw No Mans Sky and told her the story of the launch (we had just both played Cyberpunk, so it was poignant at the time lol) but I had heard that the game had been improved massively and there were people citing Hello Games as the kind of outline for what to do when massive hype turns into a massive letdown - looking at you CDPR. We both installed it and since we’re both space nerds the first couple hours of playing was cool, but I was still uncertain.

I can now say with no hesitation that No Mans Sky is my favorite game of the past ten years. I’ve dropped so many hours into it and I still feel like I’m discovering something new every time I log on. I’ve convinced like five of my friends to download it and now every time I log on my entire friends list is almost exclusively playing NMS. Also this sub is one of the better video game communities I’ve ever come across.

I don’t really know what the point of this post was, other than to say thank you Hello Games and I’ll see the rest of you amidst the stars.

Brand new player [Discussion]

Been following the game for a few years, hoping it would become what they promised at launch. And lo and behold it is! And holy confusing Batman! So much going on!

What things are absolutely necessary? There’s so many resources and nowhere to put them! Granted, I’m maybe 4 hours into the early game. So I’m sure there’s going to be a lot more coming at me. I’m just so lost in what to do after the tutorial. Any help is greatly appreciated!

End game inspiration [Discussion]

So I have close to 300h in NMS. Day one player. Love so much what they have done with the game and what it became.

I have of course lots of restarts (after the big ones usually, Atlas Rises, Next, Beyond). In my current save I pretty much have done most there is except a few new content things like derelict freighters, no underwater quest line. Now I returned for Prism. I have 700million credits, three exotic starships, a good freighter, all the recipes and blueprints.

My main goal now is finding amazing planets and building another base. Sometimes small and cozy, some rather big, I have in indium farm.

What do you guys do when you reach pretty much end game? Any goals you set for yourself? I'd love to here your end game motivations and hope to get some inspiration and new ideas.

Giant Sentinel In The Sky? [Question]

Alright yall, I've looked around the internet a while and have yet to find anything about this.

I popped onto a random world, in a random system the other night, did a few things and as I was leaving, I turn my ship around and hit the pulse drive, not really paying attention,, and just before it engages, I notice what looks like a gigantic sentinel in the sky, looking down at the planet I'm on. And when I say gigantic, I mean like, small moon size with a red beam coming from its eye, shooting straight down.

Anybody else ever stumble across this?

Sentinels everywhere [Question]

Hello, i'm new to this game, so far tried one normal gameplay of 6~ hours, and then got interested in survival mode, started it , currently i'm now at 7 hours of gameplay too , but i spent a lof ot time trying to find a planet with low sentinel activity, i've noticed in normal , the first couple of systems i visited, had almost no sentinel presence, in the other hand, in survival i had jumped through 20 systems , visited more than 50+ planets, and yet every single one of them had "High sentinel activity" , is that pretty common for survival mode?

Is there any reason why they would need to make NMS 2? [Discussion]

I've been thinking about NMS years and years down the line...

I'm not asking if they will or if they should I am asking from a technical standpoint could they just keep adding on to NMS for years and years? Is there a point where they might hit a well technology wise and would have to rebuild the whole game to keep it current or to achieve new goals?

I'm just wondering what the future of this game will be like say 5-10 years down the line because obviously the ideas could be endless.

I love no man's sky, but I absolutely hate the exclusivity of expeditions rewards. [Discussion]

Don't get me wrong, I love the expeditions, and it's a great way to start a new save without starting from complete scratch, but I play no man's sky very sporadically, and I don't want to miss out on things because I'm not playing it during an expeditions. No man's sky has always been about freedom to do whatever you want before this, but now it's "play right now or you will miss rewards permanently". And yes, I know it's all cosmetic, but that shouldn't matter.

There has to be a cheat for this right? Something I can save edit to just make it so I can get the expeditions rewards on my other saves?

Making NMS graphics less eccentric [Question]

Hello everybody,

I am an early adopter of NMS as I bought it day one. I play for months in 2016 then came back in 2018 with Next.

The past weeks I've played Star Citizen a little bit and even the graphics are beautiful the game is boring and buggy as hell. So back to NMS.

But now my problem is I find the artistic direction of the game too extreme. I've installed a mod to make space darker (no more fluo orange skies) and I've played also with Reshader to get something a little bit less flashy.

Having colored ships or buildings is not an issue, but once you have reduced the saturation a little bit it becomes better (from my pov)

Am I alone in this case? Does anybody tried to modify the game the same way I did? What are your preferred mods/shades?

Finally, has someone find a way to reduce the bloom? I have found a mod to remove it but it quite nice, only excessive!

Do you think we'll get another update as big as Beyond in the future? [Discussion]

I've been wondering about if Hello Games would try to make another huge game-changing update. The updates they have been releasing have been pretty big and the game is already at a really good point so I'm not trying to complain at all or even ask for something like this. This is just a speculative post.

I don't think any of the updates have made as big of an impact as the game as Beyond with adding the nexus, actual ambient multiplayer, vr, NPCs on planets, new story content, etc. It was probably the update that singlehandedly made me return to NMS and pour hundreds of hours into it, and a large chunk of content in every gameplay session that I play comes directly from Beyond.

So my question is, does the game still have room for an update as game-changing as this? With the game's 5th anniversary coming up in 2 months, do you think Hello Games will surprise us with one more huge update? And even if they did, what sort of changes could they realistically make that would be as big as Beyond? There are a lot of popular community suggestions like ship customisation, space station building (possibly teased at in the Prisms update with the station override), more planet variety, but those are mainly just new features. Even if they were to happen, they probably would not change the core gameplay of the game as much as Beyond did. So is there something else that could change the core gameplay in a significant way whilst also realistically fitting in an update? I'm curious what other people think about this.

Update ideas feel free to put yours [Suggestion]

Below

A update specifically adding diversity to places that are not on land would be epic. Below would improve caves and the underwater of planets. Abyss was a great update but didn't focus on much diversity in the underwater plants anaimals and minerals. Imagine crazy cool whales or sharks that could get to the size of ground creatures deeper seas more ocean colors Improved ocean looks like non pixelated shores reflective ocean surface Glowing fauna more anaimations for fauna tameable underwater fauna jelly fish improved looking fish water on moons icebergs lava lakes massive lakes and rivers swamps more ocean creatures specific planet types for marine life underwater caves and more base building possibilities for the underwater parts. Deeper caves caverns and better cave generation crystals tiny rodents and insects underwater places in caves.

Explanations for some of the stuff I included

The only thing that makes moons worse then planets is there lack of water. Moons in nms used to have water but they removed it for some reason?

Caves are almost perfect they just need more fauna in it and better generation. There isn't much fauna on one planet I think 19 is the max could be wrong but imagine if there could be like 26. much more possibilities for underwater and cave regions would be possible . Caves generation is pretty boring in nms I mean like how cool would it be to see giant caverns and huge crystals would be amazing.

The deep ocean is not deep it anything but deep its not dark or creepy and you can still easily see the sun.

More diversity in the ocean would be great imagine huge turtles giant jelly fish angler fish glowing creatures see through creatures whales apex Predators huge sharks and nicer looking fish and just more plant types would make every ocean unique. It almost feels I'm going to the same planet every time I go underwater.

Photo mode not showing coordinates. [Question]

Hey guys,

I've been playing this game for a bit now. I have about 160h. I have taken many screenshots, and I've uploaded locations to forums, etc so I know what I'm doing. But for some reason, recently I've noticed that when I am in photo mode, everything is fine but as soon as I hide the menu, it hides the glyphs as well. When I unhide the menu, it shows the menu but no glyphs. Before I was able to hide the menu and the coordinates would remain for a screenshot. Now they just dissapear and dont come back until I close the game and restart. After I restart the game, the glyphs are there but same thing happens everytime I hide the menu. I'm running Series X. Was hoping for a fix with prisims update, but nothing. Has anyone else had this issue and is there a fix? Thanks

Atlas exploring itself? [Discussion]

What if they made an AI inside the game and let it explore itself? Realistically speaking, there is probably no way we explore the entire game. I think it would be interesting/cool to let one (or multiple) AI play the game alongside us.

The possibility with direction is immense. You could even create one for each race in the game, programming it to “follow the nature” of that race.

Might be interesting to stumble upon fully developed planets with their own infrastructure.

Could also do co-op missions alongside the AI.

Well that got a bit wayward. But I think the idea of “Atlas exploring itself” could be pretty cool.

I've never deleted a single screenshot, but all I can see are my most recent screenshots from this installation of the game. Does anyone have any idea how to access the older screenshots? I'd think they'd be in the same area as the current screenshots, but they are not. I'm imagining every re-installation of the game has it's own screenshots. I've been wandering around folders named things like "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata\98866737\760\remote\275850\screenshots" and I've found various other old games, but no other NMS folders.

ALL Upgrade Modules have FIXED STATS! (They are NOT based on random save seed or procedurally generated) [Information]

Hello Everyone,

I was min/maxing my ship and my MultiTool recently and discovered that ALL the Upgrade Modules in the game have fixed stats (previously thought of as random stats or based on your save seed - but that is not the case). What I found is that your save seed does not determine ANY stats of your Upgrade Module.

​

What this now means is that we can all find and share all the best upgrade modules with each other. All X-Class, S-Class, etc with the best stats can now be shared with everyone. This also opens up the possibility to Mod these Upgrade Modules.

​

IMPORTANT NOTE: This will only work on PC as we will require the use of the Save Editor to obtain specific information about the Module - it's something unique to each Upgrade Module in the game.

​

I created a YouTube video explaining the process - don't worry, it's actually very easy once you understand how this all works.

This image is my biggest reason why I think it's necessary.

I was digging a tunnel into the ground to try to find a cave, and couldn't even go down the tunnel as if an invisible wall was blocking me. It also didn't mine out part of the wall, as you can see in the image. It doesn't properly get rid of the textures and Hello Games has ignored this for the past few updates.

​

Here's my suggestions for improvement. Create Tool: Make it so you can choose what shape to use. Having to use a sphere for everything makes it really hard to make the perfect terrain shape. A flat circle that only adds an inch of height would even make it a lot easier to use. The sphere makes everything look unnatural. Mine Tool: The idea of it is fine, it just needs to work properly. Flatten Tool: This tool needs to actually flatten the ground. As of now, all it does is flatten higher ground down, but does not flatten lower ground up. It also leaves the ground very bumpy and not flat, and also causes the same glitches as the mine tool. ADD Smooth Tool: When terraforming, this tool would be a godsend as you could smooth the ground you add with the create tool to make it blend in with the terrain better.

Is farming Salvaged Frigate Modules through destroying other freighters worth it? [Question]

I am a new player with approximately 86 hours on the game (I started last week) and have my freighter and have been trying to get Salvaged Frigate Modules through other means, such as derelicts, crashed ships, Nexus missions, even frigate missions, all of which seem to not produce enough to make it worth my while. Through my research I've found that most people seem to be farming them by destroying the pods that accompany the freighter along with the other frigates around the freighter. The reason why I haven't tried this yet is because I don't want to lose rep with any of them. Is there a point to having good rep with them?

[Modding] Has HG any plans of leaving their package files decrypted for better/convenient modding? If not, please do it HG! [Suggestion]

We all know the almighty monkeyman192 (at least the ones who are modding the game).

I used to have quite a lot of mods running on the nexus, but those constant game updates (which are not bad, don't get me wrong! They are doing insane works with this game! Unlike CDPR ehem) made me pause and leave this game for a while.

Convenient mods like: Faster Actions GraphicalLOD IntroSkip MissionTimer PurpleShip HUD QoL Tweaking Salvage and Word adjustments Scanner, Torch, Resource and Overload Tech adjustments Ship Tweaking Special items inside the Space Anomaly Stock Market and Flora Damage Boost adjustments

you name it, there are lots of stuff which people can improve in their own game instance without (the best of it) affecting other player's games online.

Just that constantly extracting via PSArc and decrypting with MBIN ... editing the stuff ... and tediously redoing the steps backward is somewhat annoying to get along with after these many updates.

Not to mention that monkey needs to redo his tool all over again with almost every update, sadly.

That guy needs a break, too!

​

Are there any plans, or will there be any, that Hello Games will not pack those files (this unnecessarily) while encrypting them for everyone? There is no real sense in doing so, or am I missing the point?

Like Dying Light handles their files, a simple WinRAR/ZIP archive handler is enough to get files and update/replace files inside those packed files. That would make things a lot easier.

Packing files is a good way to shorten loading times, that is no rocket science, but encrypted/decrypted files per se do literally nothing for the game, more like protecting the code itself from manipulation. Has no benefits doing it for this game, I guess, as the modding's been running for...

How to MOD NMS on the Xbox Game Pass/Microsoft Edition [Modding]

This is my first reddit post ever however I decided to help all my gamepass bretheren out there so that you may mod on the Xbox Game Pass/Microsoft Edition of No Man's Sky. Now as I'm sure you know by now the Xbox Game Pass/Microsoft Edition of No Man's Sky has the gamefiles encrypted in locked away in the darkest corners of your harddrive, however I've figured out how to get around this issue. Simply follow this lovely mans instructions step by step.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=en8Ou4ssw-Q&t=240s

​

After your done with all steps simply follow the normal process of altering or deleting the DISABLEMODS.txt folder, add a new folder in PCBANKS named MODS and put your mods in there and it should all work perfectly fine.

​

As of the 3.5 Prisms Update this works so I hope this helps and enjoy modding.

​

(P.S I don't know if AMUMSS works I haven't tested it but simple mods with just a PAK file work fine.)

I would love to hear some feedback from someone who thinks the planets in this game are "too samey" (Honest question, not trolling) [Discussion]

I really do want to know what people who think like this would want to make there be more variety. Because for me, when I'm exploring the universe, even if I'm exploring another blue-atmosphere, green-grass planet under a yellow sun, there's a cliff over here now, rather than over there, or a cave that goes someplace different, or a new forest, or different animals...

I mean for other, similar games, like Elite, SpaceEngine, and Space Engineers, which are beautiful games in their own right, it's the same thing...you can fly around from planet to planet, but you're still seeing, ultimately, rocks, ground, trees, sky, water...just in different places. So what am I missing?

My Base for Aiur.....Er.... I mean...My Base For You! [Build]

I just wanted to show y'all my base and if you decide to harvest it's plants, well the signal booster's coordinates are there for you! I initially started this project as a wee little noob planting Sac Venom for 4m Credits profit. Slowly my knowledge grew and so did my base. Eventually it grew to hold every plant No Man's Sky has to offer. After that I started focusing on a Circuit Board Farm. I'm saving the circuit boards to eventually build a bunch of Fusion Ignitors but that is a ways down the road and irrelevant to this post, you obviously are welcome to do what you like. Here are the stats so far:

​

Name: "Large Farm, Constantly Improving, Use me"

Full Power 24/7

125 Large Hydroponics Tables

60 Full Planted Tables

65 Need Plants Currently (I'm still updating/building, had to add some solar power)

​

Current Harvest Yields:

8 Gravitino Host

8 Albumen Pearl

13 Gek Nip

64 Sac Venom

78 Mordite

234 Faecium

312 Gamma Weed

390 Fungal Mould

2964 Cactus Flesh

3744 Frost Crystal

4680 Solanium

7064 Star Bulb

​

Other features:

4 Landing Pads

Stairwell that leads up to nowhere

Harmful Plants

1 Large Refiner

1 Anti Matter Reactor

1 Livestock Unit

1 Automated Feeder

2 Sofa's or a Weapon rack to relax with during leisure time

Some extra plants and trees I placed to spruce up the place

Storage Units to access your personal stuff

A random cave with a pointless statue contained within surrounded by a couple Marrow Bulbs

"Pulse Engine unavailable - ATLAS Interference detected" [Discussion/bug]

When pulsing towards a bounty target, I was pulled out of Pulse Drive in the middle of an asteroid field. At first I assumed it was because I was near a fleet, but the nearest one was maybe 10km away on my starboard side. (Also, If it was bc of the fleet I'd get the unsafe trajectory or large ship proximity messages)

I've never gotten the message ATLAS Interference detected, so I assume it's a bug caused by the new update for an event that isn't supposed to trigger yet. Has anyone else experienced a similar issue?

I’ve tried to get back into it a few times, but I haven’t managed to find the spark yet. What would you guys recommend for someone trying to get back into the game?

Steam VR crashing when I open steam VR menu [Bug]

I searched and found dozens of threads about VR crashes, but nothing like my issue. Every time I click the steam menu button (the little round recessed button on the knuckles controllers) it drops to about 2 FPS and everything gets warped for a few seconds, then steam VR crashes and the image freezes. Then I have to restart steam VR and NMS. I haven't played for about a year, so I don't know if this is a new bug, but I didn't have this issue on the much older release I used to play on. I have a 2080 Ti, no overclocking, and my temps are under control. It makes the game pretty much unplayable since I can't adjust the volume, switch to a browser, etc. Has anyone else had this specific issue?

questions about upgrading freighters [Question]

I have a big capital freighter but with all the new upgrading and customization available for freighters i want to trade it for a more interesting looking smaller freighter if i can use these features to get storage and tech slot space up to the same amounts

  • can you expand the number of technology slots on a standard sized freighter using bulkheads or by any other means?

  • can you use bulkheads on a smaller freighter to expand inventory slots to match what you can get from a capital freighter?

  • Can you upgrade freighter class similar to how you can upgrade ship class?

  • Does the base transfer feature from Prisms actually work or is it buggy enough to risk losing the layout when you try to move it to a new freighter?

  • does freighter color changing stick when you do it or am i going to have to keep reapplying the change?

Brand spanking new [Question]

Hey all!

Before I get into it, if there’s a mega thread/faq/etc. about these, mods are welcome to delete.

I’m literally 5 hours into the game, loving it so far. Had a few questions. I hope that’s alright! I’m pretty shy in new communities here, but I heard y’all are awesome so I thought I’d post.

I’m doing the story missions to get familiar with the mechanics. I don’t want to power through the story too fast and put the game down if that makes sense. Is there a certain cut off you’d recommend to stop following things religiously and focus more on exploring? No spoilers if possible.

I’m doing pretty well on collecting resources. Are there any recommended ones outside of the basics? Ones good for money?

Are there any must do upgrades? I’ve started exploring space stations, but a lot of them are super expensive, even just for an extra inventory slot.

Is language important? The lore is super cool, but I feel like I spent a lot of time asking about dialect with little return.

Am I doing this right? I try to follow the missions but I feel like I end up wandering aimlessly like a fool. I may have accidentally zapped one of those horror eggs already.

My first base is a shithole. What should I look for when scanning planets to find a good home? Is the idea of “home” super important? Or are they more like good stopping points on your journey?

I find the galaxy menu to be super confusing. What am I supposed to look for here? The warp drives are hard to come by so I’m reluctant to travel too far from my OG base.

Any help or tips are much appreciated!

Is there any way to disable the bloom effect? [Question]

Bloom make the game look the same as if I've smeared Vaseline all over my glasses and gives me a headache within a few minutes unless I'm very careful to avoid looking at anything that causes bloom. In space stations for example, there is bloom all over the place. Visiting them is a very unpleasant experience for me because visiting one is a guaranteed headache for me every time, since there is no way to avoid looking at things with bloom.

I tried this no bloom mod but it causes the entire screen to go white. Are there any hidden graphics settings or other mods that work on the current version of No Man's Sky? Or is there something else I need to do to make that mod work?

I honestly don't get how this is enjoyable to anyone. [Discussion]

I'm probably not going to get the refund I asked for because I have 5 hours in the game. But it's just awful from my perspective.

I have been annoyed with pretty much every system from the very beginning, hoping it would get better, but one very specific thing is what caused me to give up entirely.

Where the unholy flaming fuck is my inventory space? I can't even build a fucking box to put in my shitty wooden shack to keep my shit in? I literally could not even progress further into the game without deleting valuable resources. Can't just put them on the ground, can't build a fucking box, nothing.

I would have had to delete multiple stacks of things I needed to have the room required to go through the multistage tedious process of building a thing to build a thing to build the thing I need to move the quest forward. Can't do it. No room. Suit full, cargo full, ship full, all tech slots had whatever tech I had in them. Totally full inventory from a couple of hours on the starter planet and zero permanent, buildable storage options. Fucking amateur hour.

So I go to the space station to see if there's any upgrades I can buy for my pitiful inventory. One. Fucking. Slot.

I closed the game and requested a refund instantly. For fucks sake, a single goddamn wooden box and I would have kept pushing to see if it got better. But I looked it up. It looked like my first storage container BP was going to come much later down the road. I can't keep slogging through these weird ass flight controls and my suit constantly screaming about environmental systems when I can't even build anything because my inventory is full.

Huge intermittent FPS drops in No Man's Sky VR (HP G2)? Try removing overlay addons [Suggestion]

TL;DR

I was finding huge FPS drops at seemingly random launches of the game or after I'd been playing a while. My usual FPS being 60 to 80 (I set DLSS at Quality or Balanced on my RTX 3070), it would drop to 15 or so - unplayable.

Try uninstalling or maybe just disabling any overlay software you have in Steam VR. If you have a WMR headset like my G2, also close steam completely and set NMS to launch VR by default, and let steam VR auto load when you run the game.

​

Longer version: Some loads of the game would run terribly right away, some would be fine. Super frustrating. Many times when it was running well I tilted the left controller forward to see the fpsVR stats in game, it would tank the framerate at that exact time as well. Sometimes waiting 10 seconds it would recover, often not. Now that I uninstalled fpsVR, I am not having as many - I sometimes get lower performance loading new areas but it clears up fairly fast (3 to 10 seconds). Seems better overall.

See images (screenshots from Windows desktop) - freshly loaded world, not much in front, terrible FPS. Standing and not moving for a couple of minutes and it sped up - nothing I did. Then it tanked when I turned around and looked at my base...and again it sped up after a couple of minutes. Viewing the fpsVR tool inside the VR game often caused it to slow down again.

Also of interest is the discrepancy between GPU usage in Task Manager, and what is reported by fpsVR. Even when it's running great, Windows thinks the GPU is only 30% or so used...what the?

​

PC specs:

i5 11600KF (stock)

32GB RAM

Gigabyte Aorus RTX 3070 (OC: core hits 2+ GHz and mem is 8GHz - tried going back to stock)

WD Black SN850 1TB

CPU and GPU never go over about 65° so it's not a heat throttling issue.

5 Years Ago ❤️ [Fan Work]

Five years ago I wrote this:

“I cannot wait to boot up the game and just walk in any direction, exploring. To see what's behind that cliff, or what's inside that deep mysterious cave. Imagine climbing a mountain during sunset and just take a break up there. Hearing the wind and see how day slowly turns into night. Seeing blinking stars appear in the nightsky. Knowing that if you want to, you can get your own spaceship and visit those stars. I'm definitely ready to lose myself in this game. Experience the feeling of being completely lost somewhere and not knowing what to come next”.

This dilemma still holds up to this day.

It’s one of those games you can play however you want. As an adult with a full-time job and family, I value the chill exploration. No need to “keep up” with anything.

The link below is an email I wrote to Hello Games in September 2016:

(https://www.reddit.com/r/nomanshigh/comments/57z3rr/just_got_a_response_from_hello_games_today/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=mweb)

Thank you.

I miss the old No Man's Sky artstyle. [Discussion]

Before I begin my rant, I do have to say that No Man's Sky isn't bad; it's just no longer my type of game. In fact, it's incredibly impressive how amazing No Man's Sky has become, and the fact Hello Games has been able to revive it from its release is astounding.

But for me, I actually miss old No Man's Sky - we're talking around 1.0

To be honest, it's the version I had the most hours in, too. I was one of those people that actually liked NMS 1.0 and I was oblivious to Hello Game's promises beforehand, but I still absolutely loved the game.

The part that I no longer love in No Man's Sky is the artstyle - NMS was unique in the sci-fi genre. It was simplistic, yet mysterious in some way (The Atlas logo especially) which I haven't seen from any other space game. Now, No Man's Sky still has a reminiscence of this style, but there's a lot more cartoon-like stylisms that I really just don't enjoy.

A good example of the type of stuff I miss are represented the animated Atlas logo (see picture below) that Hello Games shows at the end of their trailers for updates and things like that.

The current artstyle now is just pretty annoying to me. I like the studio, I like the game, but it just feels more fantasy with the style of the current game - whereas games like Star Citizen and Elite Dangerous incorporate significantly more "scientific" design choices. I guess I just have different tastes.

Old NMS artstyle example.

I don't know, this has kind of been a mindless rant. Am I the only one who thinks this way?

Celestial Seekers [Discussion]

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

Gameplay/Grind Overhaul Suggestions + QOL Changes [Suggestion]

Mini-ships that transport mined resources to other planets/bases

Blueprints that increase stack sizes in Survival/Permadeath modes (these would obviously be very hard/costly to make)

Better food system that give useful temporary buffs to exosuit besides just replenishing life support (like deuterium plants as a food you can make and consume at any point), maybe even food that boosts pets too?

Minotaur buffs (his hands could use a sword 👀)

Ability to upgrade modules instead of replacing them with other ones

Ability to exempt things from being collected, like Silicate Powder when just trying to mine Copper, or gold/plat/silver when you just want to get tritium

Far more profitable and dangerous derelict freighters

Shorter frigate missions! and maybe even some that take a week or longer but offer incredible rewards? Or at least make frigate missions as they are have much better rewards

Weather domes that keep a large area at ~20 C°, basically like a huge interior like this huge bio-dome example

Ability to control frigate missions at your ground base

Ability to teleport into an Anomaly instance

Ability to "reroll" a ship or multitool (replace a ship/multitool with another random one of the same letter-grade and type) This is the best compromise imo for the people who want to customize ships and multitools and for the people who believe that finding your own ship or multitool in the wild is part of the NMS magic

Imo the economy as a whole needs a big rework. endevours like farming, combat, exploration, etc just dont even come close to simply crashing the economy or mining activated indium, which can get you the maximum limit of units in just 1 or 2 weeks without having to do virtually anything.

NMS Endgame; am I missing anything? [Question]

Just shy of 100 hours on Survival, I have cap inventory slots and S Class tech and rating on Exosuit and Freighter (almost capped S on all frigate variants). Very capable Multitool and Starship; zero effort for all content. A base that is self sufficient for Quantum Processors, and use item's from Freighter missions for Stasis Devices (fluctuate between 250M and 750M Units if I'm chasing Nanites through ship scrapping).

​

Outside of ship/multitool hunting and Living Ship (this is my last real goal that I'm excited to chase), is there anything I'm missing? My base and freighter make Units a non-issue, everything else I have is either full S (haven't bother with gambling for X tech from derelicts) or totally serviceable.

I really want an excuse to keep playing, but being a galaxy tourist doesn't keep me on longer than checking a few systems and doing my 5 minute Freighter mission/farm route. The game looks so good from the last few patches I really want to want to keep it going, but I think I may need to dig into Permadeath to really get the progression feeling back.

Please hit me up with thoughts or anything I'm missing. NMS Pokemon kinda got me for a few hours, but again the combat and my shields are so good that it's more of a visual pet than a functional advantage.

Can't install S rank launch thruster upgrade [Bug]

I just got a few different upgrades from the ship mod merchant and installed them just fine, but this one won't install. It says "cannot install to this inventory type".

It's the only upgrade in my inventory so I'm not mixing it up with another one. I don't have any other upgrades for launch thrusters either.

I realized this one doesn't change to the launch thruster upgrade icon when I click install like the others do, it just stays a mod as if I'm moving it. And one time I clicked install it changed icon to 75 Cadmium.

Has anyone else experienced this?

Best / most efficient (or fun?) way to make space money? [Question]

Friends in distant places!

​

Bit of guidance/assistance please! I'm looking for different ways of making money, I am still following the story as there are many things that can distract you from it, BUT, that shouldn't stop anyone from getting some currency while doing it, right? So, from what I gathered (YT mainly, but not sure how accurate videos are with most recent updates):

  • I can hunt for alien and ancient relics/artifacts or bones and sell them for anything between few dozen k up to couple millions?

  • Spending time on harsh environment planets and hunt for storm crystals, they sell quite nicely apparently.

  • How profitable is looting Derelict Freighters, knowing that location for one costs 5mil? Is it worth it at all? Only went to one derelict so far, but on an expedition save so nothing carried over. None of the videos I watched have mentioned it.

  • Building profitable and automated farm of Indium etc, for which I am yet too dumb and too early in the game to comprehend.

  • Having ability to use the portals (I am still hunting few more glyphs), some kind people are posting coordinates to their automated mines to visit and collect some resources to make money?

  • How much difference and profitability can there be, between "normal" solar systems and RedGreenBlue ones? Is there much more valuable stuff on the planets within those systems?

​

What have I missed? What else is there? So far, all (or at least MOST) of my "wealth" was actually getting things thrown at me while at the Anomaly (for which I am a bit ashamed, but it helped me greatly on my journey so far!), which can also be a way although bit of a hit and miss also tad frowned upon. Alternatively and most bluntly, are the any generous filthy rich players that don't mind parting their ways with few hundred millions? Thought might as well ask, I'm not...

Has anybody ever actually found a planet with "deeper oceans" that were supposedly added with Origins? [Question]

Back when Origins came out, it was said that when they added new planets, some of them would have very deep oceans, deeper than anything before. I've never found one, and as far as I know, nobody else has either. Oceans generally are at about 125u at their deepest point.

Around when Origins launced, in the modding discord, there were some references in the files to these oceanic planet types. I think maybe Sean jumped the gun when he announced it was being added. Maybe in the big summer update.

Screwed over by weird glitch? [Bug]

I had a buddy join my game who got disconnected after a bit. When he returned, his ship had somehow duplicated, with the dupe counting as mine and having the same inventory and upgrades and everything as my primary ship.

I later went to scrap it at a space station and the ship was replaced with a broken down piece of crap I found earlier. When I returned to my base, I found out my primary ship is now somehow also a broken piece of crap with half of the upgrades and all of its inventory missing and a brand new title for some reason.

Gas extractors > activated indium [Discussion]

750 of gasses (250 of each type) gives 1.5 million in a gas product, while indium only gives a little over half that.

No doubt that activated indium is easier, but the advice to newer players should be refined gasses, no? Especially with prisms allowing these upgrade paths to be bought with nanites.

Revert back to Ferrit Dust for concrete, please [Suggestion]

I came back from a long break and as much as I am absolutely in love with everything how this game turned around, one thing only: PLEASE revert back to Ferrit Dust for building concrete structures.

It might be not a big problem in your eyes, but all concrete users know what I am talking about. The fact you cant buy Silicia Powder as well as Carbon or Condensed Carbon from any NPC makes it hard as fuck to build your base and expand with concrete structures. You will now have to manually farm it and dig big crazy holes on another planet anywhere.

To people who say: Just use wood or metal for your structures. No! Simply because I already build my base with concrete and I want to not switch up in the middle with metal or wood.

Game isn't working quite right, help is very appreciated [Question]

I've been trying to get into no mans sky for the past couple years, but I never could due to the various bugs it has. There are a few small ones such as the taskbar icon for it being the default picture for a program. Then there's bigger ones such as icons being straight up pngs as pictured below. One of the major glitches is that there's nobody in the anomaly whenever I try to visit it, I've also checked that the setting for multiplayer is on. Thought one of the worst glitches is when I use a teleporter and the game's textures get crappy, and the framerate tanks to 30fps (though I just had to get into my ship and it fixed itself). I've verified game files multiple times, yet these are still happening. Should I try to uninstall and reinstall, or am I just unlucky? My friend also has no mans sky, but its locked at 30fps and looks awful. Which is weird because he has a better pc than me. If any of you know the solution to any of these, it would be greatly appreciated.

Help with my first farm (Actv'd Ind). RE: Extractor Density [Question]

Hello all. I’m new to the game and only have about 35-ish hours in. I’m loving it but trying to understand certain aspects are tedious to say the least.

I watched this YouTube video and am following it as closely as I can, but my yields and his are far different, considering he and I are both using an A-class deposit (@ 5:35 in the video).

Now, I’m not sure if this is attributed to the game versions being different considering I’m on latest, and the video content is from August of 2019, but via the YouTube video his yield is indicated as “2999 kg/m3” (@ 10:42) whereas mine is indicated by a 61%... I don't know what this means or how to improve it.

My yields.

For him, this is per a 10pc extractor with a 20pc storage depot setup (@ 10:35).

For me, I’m running 25pc extractor with a 20pc storage depot setup:

My setup.

Lastly, the only other difference I can note is that he used a method of laying wood flooring to ‘flatten’ the terrain. As soon as he lays the floor, the terrain flattens. He then removed the floors, and the terrain remains flat, and from there he placed the extractors on the dirt.

They must have patched this because when I do it now, the terrain re-appears as it was. So, laying a flat setup was impossible without leaving the floors.

Because of this, I tried both setups to see if there was a difference. I laid 1 extractor over a floor piece and 1 over the unchanged ground, and both worked with the same efficiency, proving that the floors do not make a difference… anymore. From what I can take away, this...

Am I doing something wrong? Or is this game just not for me? [Question]

Hey all, so I bought this game 2 years ago for $5 on clearance from Walmart. It didn't run very well on my base PS4, but I recently got a PS5 and I know it gets a free upgrade to the PS5 version running 4K 60fps. Plus, with all the updates and my being a sci-fi fan I really want to play this game. But every time I've tried it I lose interest because it kinda just feels like a pretty space themed Minecraft which is not a game I enjoy.

It seems like gameplay is primarily:

1: Find resources.

2: Explore the area and scan animals.

3: Dig a mine.

4: Build a base.

5: Go to a new planet.

Repeat 1-5.

Is there more to it than this that I'm not seeing?

The games I like to play the most are action story driven narratives. Games like Tomb raider, The last of us, Days Gone, Wolfenstein, Bioshock, etc.

I'm just not into games like Minecraft, but if there's more to it than that I would be interested, I just have a hard time seeing the amazing videos of the worlds and space travel and yet the game doesn't seem to keep my interest

Expeditions and FOMO [Discussion]

Hello Games has been the one company that I've been continually impressed with when it comes to No Man's Sky and how they've handled everything, including their updates. However, something has been worrying me.

Ever since the weekend missions started, I've had a bit of anxiousness when it comes to the game. I felt like I had to come on and complete that mission every weekend or I'd be missing out on all that quicksilver goodness. For the most part, it wasn't bad. It did tend to become a bit repetitive, but overall, seeing new planets that were picked by HG and doing a mission that honestly didn't take very long was okay with me.

But then Expeditions arrived. Now, there's much to like about it. I like starting new, and the two expeditions so far have been very different. My problem is about the rewards. Because of a few bugs, and life in general, I didn't get to finish the first expedition, and I missed out on that awesome jetpack and the golden ship. When the second expedition came, I saw the two week timer and felt completely anxious about getting everything. I finished that expedition in a day, and got everything. But it was not fun, not at all. I'm aware that FOMO (fear of missing out) is not something that everyone is affected by, but it is true that lots of people have it and have been exploited by other video game companies to this day. I'm not saying HG has this intention. I am convinced they are doing what they think is right, and adding new things to the game. However, I just think that at the very least, we need some option to be able to get these items if we don't finish or even get to the expeditions when they happen.

What do you all think?

What's the deal with sentinel facilities? [Question]

I've wondered for a long time now but I'm hoping someone has an answer on this subreddit. Are the sentinel facilities you raid in anomaly missions and find on planets meant to be run by sentinels? I thought that was the case but then I used my atlas pass on a door and found the plant and storage rooms you find in settlements which I don't think sentinels can use considering the lack of arms. Are the sentinels working with people who run the factories, cus if so that shatters my assumption that sentinels were only liked by the korvax and hated by gek and vykeen. Is this an odd design flaw or am I just stupid?

We need to talk about the tutorial. [Discussion]

Okay so I've been thinking a lot about how the tutorial is seemingly impenetrable to many new players and a boring slog for experienced players. I've been trying to think about how I'd rework it. I think the expeditions are hopefully valuable data for HG to work this out themselves and I'm hopeful they're working on it. However I'm really interested to see what people in the community think and I'm hoping this post can start some of that discussion.

So fellow Interlopers, what would you do to make the tutorial better?

Activated Indium still worth a ton? (Haven't been on the game in a while) [Question]

I haven't been on the game in a while and thinking about gaming a bit of it today. I remember I have a huge farm with like 200 extractors and storage things for activated indium on an S class deposit and an S class electromagnetic hotspot.

Buildable Roads/Trains [Suggestion]

Pros: Would entice players to work together to "colonize" planets A new resource gathering system could use roads/trains as the main method of transport Would be a great solution when players get bored of star hopping/flying Buildable racetracks Great introduction for more vehicle types Underwater tunnels for those who enjoy the water This would expand on the sandbox nature of the game The amount of resources to create them will offset players who have tons of resources but nothing to spend them on Could function like roads do in Death Stranding

If these were added I could easily spend another 100+ hours in the game.

I'm planning to set off on a pangalactic Grand Tour of Euclid tomorrow... Where should I visit? [Discussion]

It'll probably take me many months to get round, but I'm intending to set off across Euclid on a Grand Tour. I plan to visit as many capitals of the civs listed on the wiki as I can to pay my respects, but I'd also like to take in any other interesting or unusual places worth visiting across the galaxy. Perhaps there's a base or player created challenge I should stop off at? I love seeing interesting landforms that the procedural generation throws up - is there an unusual planet with a unique topography I should see? Or maybe there's a rare species worth taking in? All ideas welcome, I'd love to know what you all think!

Is 900ly base hyperdrive range normal? [Question]

Hi! I only sort of recently picked up this game and haven't really dug deep into how ship stats work and roll yet. However, after maxing out a new ship, I realized I was losing a lot of hyperdrive range. I then noticed my original squid ship had a base stat of around 900ly. Now, I've had multiple squids and also I've just seen many ships in general, and I think the base hyperdrive has always been under 200. I just wanted to know if this is a glitch or something I should be looking for in other squids.

"I must increase my standing with the alien life form in order for him to help, press ESC and read your log book to see how to increase standing."

OH Lordy, this game [Question]

Earlier this week I was hanging with my boyf at his place and he introduced me to this game. I thought it was really beautiful but I was a bit frustrated at first because I couldn't get to grips with controller settings and was putting too much pressure on myself to perform impeccably despite just being introduced to the game

Anyway...

I had my covid vaccine yesterday, and resting up bought the game, just played 4 hours. I'm a bit worried because It's amazing. I knew it was amazing before but now I've immersed myself in it a bit, I feel like my new life will be this game. like I can't wait to finish work tomorrow and play. I even played a couple of hours and stopped but I kept thinking about the game so I went back in.

I know this sounds silly but part of me doesn't want to play it incase I get completely sucked into it - but I really enjoyed it.. maybe I'm overthinking it?

It's SO beautiful, everything about it. I can't wait to play more. Would love to hear peoples thoughts and / or any tips / anything you'd like to share.

How often does the S-Class Multi-Tool's refresh on the space stations? . I played NMS when it came out but not for ages. Saw there was and update and started fresh. Spotted S-Class Multi-Tool - 24 slots for 3.7mil on the home system space station- I saved up the credits and went back - gone. [Question]

So when do shops refresh? Because in the old versions they stayed the same so you could always go back and buy the one you wanted. To locate a good multi-tool you had to find a wealthy Vy'keen, system at war. Then you had a good chance to locate a S-Class Multi-Tool. Is it now 100% RNG?

Will it ever come back? Do I have to do something like visit each planet land, trigger a save and fly back, or do I have to do a reload? I am on XBox if that makes any difference.

I now however am happily flying around in my newly repaired bronze orange S class exotic ship (12m). I flew over it on my way to get get warp fuel. So home system too.

Thanks for any tips and advice on the new updates. They are cool so far, biggest it mining speed and many more mining nodes.

I love how many planets have deadly environments these days that's not just from storms. [Discussion]

One of the things I really like about present day No Man's Sky is that there's planets which are actually dangerous environmentally. Originally, most planets were only really harmful during weather events or had a high level of radiation etc.

These days - I love how there's planets which are fine during the day but are extreme cold at night, or a snow planet which has extreme cold all day and night but still prone to blizzards on top of that.

If they added planets with actually dangerous fauna too, that'd be beyond awesome! Creatures that are not only deadly but harder to kill too.

I just got my first free freighter and I'm afraid that I made a mistake. Looking for help with freighters or guides. [Question]

Does anyone have a specific channel or video that they would point to for help with freighters in general? I've only been playing for a few days and I just got to the part where the game gives you your first freighter and I accepted it without really thinking about it because it was free and I ended up with one that has like 31 slots and I have no idea if the stats are any good. It wasn't until just a little bit ago that I realized that most people seem to reload their saves until they get a good one, but the problem is that I don't know what a good one looks like. And I know that it's going to be a while until I'm going to be able to afford another one and I think I might have made a huge mistake. Trying to figure out just how big of a mistake I made because I am early enough in my playthrough where starting over really wouldn't be that big of a deal. I would miss out on like 6 hours worth of gameplay and considering how much time I was going to be putting into this first trip through that's not a big deal to me.

​

​

So basically I am just looking for advice in regards to stats in general or just a link to a good video that explains it. My problem is that there's like a hundred different videos explaining it that range from a couple of weeks old to as old as a year plus and I don't know how much the freighter system has changed over time.

Thank you in advance.

Everything [?] you want to know about getting the freighter you want, including a free one [Information]

Everything [?] you want to know about getting the freighter you want, including a free one

WHY ANOTHER GUIDE? I've read a bunch of freighter guides; no single guide contains all the info I think it should contain. Certain relevant info isn't in any guide I've read. Many contain either incorrect or out-of-date info. Also, my final section of the guide suggests an approach to interim-save "decent" freighters on your way to grinding a better class...just in case you get tired of the grind. You can "fall back" to your interim-save.

THE GUIDE

Your first freighter will be free, after you rescue it from pirates. You can only get a freighter for free if you don't already own a freighter. It will appear as if you're buying it, but you'll ultimately be charged nothing for it.

The freighter you're offered after your first freighter rescue battle, is always a regular freighter. If you kill the pirates, land on the freighter, talk to the captain, and decline the first freighter, you will keep getting more "rescue freighter" battles (every 5 warps & 3 hrs), but the freighters will always be a Capital freighter that you are offered.

If you're playing on a recently-started save, you'll need to progress far enough in the story to finish "Ghosts in the Machine" before you'll be offered any battles.

Each time you complete a rescue mission, you'll keep getting more rescue missions in the future, forever (every 3hrs/5 warps).

FREIGHTER TYPES

Regular freighters have a much larger variety in visual appearance compared to Capital...

Are there "poles" on planets where the sun never sets? [Question]

I started a Permadeath save today (wish me luck!) and started on a toxic planet. Night fell, a storm hit, and I almost died, but I managed to make it out into space and followed the next mission signal to... the same planet. Different area, though, so I landed there, collecting copper and all that, when I noticed that it had been sunrise for a while. My analysis visor said it was noon, but the sun was behind a mountain! I went into photo mode and changed the Time of Day and sure enough, the sun was going almost in a full circle around, with the darkest time of day being a brief dusk.

Is this a glitch, or do planets in No Man's Sky have different-length days at different parts of the planet? If so, is there a reliable way to find what I assume are the two "sunset zones" of a planet where the sun never fully sets and night never falls?

Show me your most scenic bases! [Meta]

I don't mean the base where you built a giant statue or an a game/race track or a freighter/atmosphere. I see a lot of superbuilds, and they're cool, but not exactly inspiring for someone like me who wants to build something nice that doesn't take hundreds of hours. More casual builds, of houses or factories or research labs that look awesome with their environment.

I ask this inspired by "jungle" bases where props mix with the plants to give an overgrown look. Or some people have amazing water bases thanks to the Prism updates. I especially want to see beautiful bases on some of the newer biomes like volcanos and infected, but I've seen some lush and irradiated planets that have wonderful bases. A base that looks good in its environment, and vice vera. Sometimes, people that take care to add a lot of decorations will have cool bases like this regardless of the environment.

If you're not sure if it fits in what I'm looking for, or you really just want to show something off, post it anyways. It's still inspiring! I keep looking for the perfect planet to build the perfect base in, but I'm not good at architecture, and I want to have a collection of things that I'd want to add to a base that I could reference when building a base that'll make me smile every time I walk through it.

Haven’t played this game since August of 2016...... [Suggestion]

Originally bought it when I got my PS4, think the farthest I got was getting the bigger mining laser and a new ship. Been playing for the last couple of days and it’s SO much better than what it used to be. Any suggestions on what to do for a brand new play through? Already have a base with a Stargate and just got the antimatter drive

How to get guild missions? [Question]

The Wiki says that as soon as I am at Apprentice level with the guilds, the guild envoys in space stations should give me special missions. I am Journeyman now with all three guilds, but no matter how many guild envoys I visit, they only ever give me presents, but no missions. Am I doing something wrong? Or are guild missions a myth?

:Spoilers: Finding Artemis again [Spoiler]

Has anyone ever tried to find their grave post quest? Looking back I thought it would be nice to have a base/grave/monument, but I didn't think to save the spot and I don't remember where it was.

If the PC player larenth sees this, I cannot thank you enough. I was struggling and you set me up for a long time. [Discussion]

You were sitting by yourself on the nexus and threw tainted metal and AI valves into my inventory, knowing I might not even notice. I don’t have to worry about money or nanites now thanks to you. I hope you see this, because me emoting “Thank you” just didn’t seem adequate.

O7 thank you interloper, god speed.

Spawning S-Class Capital Ships Question [Question]

They don't seem to spawn when jumping to wealthy systems anymore, is there a new way now to farm them? As a matter of fact, wealthy systems hardly even spawn regular a-class freighters for me. Most are c- and b-class ones. Spent all day yesterday trying to get a venator to spawn, but the best i could get was a single regular a-class. Thanks in advance. PS: I'm 28+h into a new save. Day one player here who's not played for about a year.

[?] Messed Up Quests [Question]

I returned to NMS after a break of a couple of years and I found that a few of my quests, like the Main Quest, and Expanding the Base, have partially reset so that I have the rewards from completing the quest, but I still have quest markers and NPC dialog suggesting that I haven't even started them.

Likewise, The Purge is also active (don't think I completed that one) but it keeps just sending me further towards the center. Like, I jump to the quest marker and the new quest marker requires another jump. Every time.

Is my save hopelessly hosed (man, that would be depressing) or is there something I can do to fix these issues?

Things to do in multiplayer [Discussion]

My friends and I have the game installed and we awlays think about starting a multiplayer game, but when we try to do it, we usualy get bored after a few hours.

I think that this comes from the fact that we play the game differently (3 friends group)

One of my friends if very industry focused

The other one likes to blow up freighters

And I like to admire the sunset and take pics

Any suggestions of things we can do on this game that will have us all entretained at the same time? How do you guys play muliplayer??

Non-Nexus Mission tracking via space stations [Question]

Just starting playing this game again... last time I played was when they first introduced vehicles. SO MUCH HAS CHANGED WOW.

Is there any tips out there for making more sense of the teleporter and mission tracking? I've taken on all missions at multiple stations and I assumed when I went to the teleporter screen there would be a mission icon next to the stations I can return to, to turn them in, but nope.

Seems like unless I start taking notes in RL on station and system names it'd be pretty easy to get lost and not able to turn in missions. I'm sure I'm missing something obvious? I have very bad memory as it is so I am hoping the details on where to turn in a mission is shown somewhere.

What's your workflow here?

New player need help finding home.. [Question]

Hello guys.. I have 20hours in the game, and now I'm trying to find some lush planet so I can start building my base..

I already make 25 jumps and still didn't find any good planet (no bad weather, low sentinel activity, beautiful planet) thats not a big deal because I'm improving exosuit each time I travel to New system..

But my question is how you guys find good planets for base building? Any advice would be appreciated..

Solar panels and batteries [Question]

So is a good rule of thumb is when using solar panels and batteries to power your base, is to have double the power you consume? That way the batteries will will carry the base through the night?

No Man's Sky always gives me that deep nostalgic feeling which I love and despise at the same time [Discussion]

You see usually when I start feeling nostalgic I always know the reason for it, like "ah yes that reminds me of x thing". With No Man's Sky however I cannot in any capacity think of why I feel so nostalgic. Sure the game is almost 5 years old but that shouldn't be enough to give me such strong feels about it even if I'm a Day 1 player.

I guess also the thing is that I'm mostly playing on my no-portal Permadeath save and knowing that death can strike me at virtually any moment adds some anxiety to my feel-palette™.

Just tell me I'm not the only person who feels this way about the game pls pls pls.
