Starbirth Assistance Required [Question]

Alright, so I am up to the point on starbirth where I have the heart, neural stem, shell, and singularity core. My cracked void egg is giving me visions of pink and blue, and I have warped a long way along the current mission warp path for this. Am I supposed to be doing this, or did I miss something

Help understanding the million things I dont... [Question]

Hi guys..

I have about 20hours in this game and I'm loving it..

It's no problem but I pass the majority of time without knowing what I'm doing :S

I will make some questions, if someone can help would be much appreciated..

1- How many bases can i make in one planet? And in total?

2- Can I make a giant base or there is any kind of max cap?

3- I'm travelling from one system to the next, is there a upgrade or something that make my ship travel far away in the galaxy? With one jump...

4- Is there a maximum of tradestations to travel to? Like fast travel, is there a max cap?

5- How many ships can a player own?

English is not my first language, sorry for that...

Claiming Ships [Question]

Maybe I'm losing it but I used to make those credits by claiming downed ships from distress signals and adding them to my inventory, then scrapping them later at space stations. Lately, when I find a downed ship, I am unable to "claim" the ship but instead can only "swap" the starship for my current one.

Am I just missing the obvious here or is there a different way to go about claiming starships now? Or not at all? Maybe ELI5? Because I feel like a dork right now LOL

Discovered planets disappear [Question]

I just got back in to no Man's sky a few weeks ago and found a very nice system to set up a base. I'm meticulously went through every planet and found every animal for the nanite bonus. When I logged on today though all of the planets except the one with my base were grayed out meaning I had never been there. Is this a known issue?

#

New Man's Sky? [Question]

I recently replaced my nearly 9 year old PC with a monster of a machine. I was never able to play NMS because of hardware issues, but since I'm seeing colors I've never seen before at 144hz, I figured I'd finally time.

So, since I'm going in mostly blind, should I play Normal or Survival? I typically enjoy Hardcore modes in other games, but I'm unsure how punishing NMS is, having never played it before. Is there fall damage, if, say, one were to yeet themselves off a tall cliff?

Any other tips appreciated.

Need help with setting up farms. [Question]

I'm sort of new to the game. Have about 30 hours in. I'm trying to learn how to set up mineral farms. To make some money but also to eventually create some good looking bases. Are there any guides available on setting up a farm? Like a build with me kind of hing cause all the youtube help is much older. Any help is appreciated :)

How do I get rid of this fear of giant and ringed planets? [Discussion]

When I got the chance to leave my first planet, which was ringed, I dared not to look back at it because those rings were too creepy for me. I landed at a nearby paradise planet and I can see how huge that ringed planet is and I don't have enough courage to leave my planet because of the giant size of the ringed planet.

How do I get rid of this fear? I'll have to face several ringed planets like this in the future and I must not let this fear limit my exploration.

Well played, Devs! [Information]

To get paid in Nanits on the Spacestation-missions is fantastic. It is such a small twist overall, but for me it came out to be a huge improvement. I have 4 not updated ships atm (it would be more, if i could store them up^^ - make it expensive, i will work for it XD -), so i need a lot of it and it is good fun - and feels more immersive to the universe and the factions - to get it while doing missions. Small adjustments with motivational outcomes: Well developed, good Hello-Games-Sirs! Bravo!

Retuning Player after 1 year. [Question]

Hello I’m coming back to play NMS after about one year. I have S class everything, beat the campaign, an activated indium farm/base, and have like 80 hours in the game. Is there anything new to check out or is the game the same as it was about springtime last year. Thanks!

#

Has DLSS been released yet? [Question]

I got the game with Game Pass and managed to get it up and running, but the game is very laggy, and I desperately need DLSS, but I don't see it on the Desktop or PCVR versions. Is it possible this is an older version? Or has the game not updated at all yet for DLSS support?

My specs are Ryzen 7 3700x, RTX 2060, 16gb Ram.

How to make ps4 pro sound level tolerable in most recent update? [Question]

In older versions of the game the lower res option was reasonably quiet, and the high res was the loudest game i've ever experienced on the pro. It was unplayable. Now there is only a lock framerate option, and with this on or off, and motion blur at 0 the sound is still max fan. It's not a dusty console issue. This is the only game to ever have this problem . Does anyone have a fix?

#

Base collision [Question]

Say there's 2 players, player A and player B. They both create bases that overlap, but neither uploads them at first. My understanding is that each of these players would only see their own base. But then, say player A uploads their base. What does player B see? What happens to their base? Thanks!

VR question: Just got NMS on Steam and my Oculus Quest 2 in the mail....too excited to think straight, had some questions [Discussion]

I just got an Oculus Quest 2 in the mail for my birthday (I'm a grown-ass man, and I jumped up and down in glee) and already purchased No Man's Sky on Steam to play in VR via Virtual Desktop.

I'll be honest, I tried it in VR for twenty minutes and found the learning curve to be pretty steep. I was thinking I'd play the flat version for a bit to get familiar.

Do you know if the saved game transfers from pancake version to VR version?

Not a big deal, but I was also wondering - which is your favorite way to play?

Is the VR way comfortable, fun and just as good as the pancake version? Or not quite?

"no hyerdrive installed" on galaxy map, but it is, and its 100% charged, and i installed the upgrades for (red, blue, green galaxies) [Question]

i want to use my freighter to jump to another galaxy.

I have installed:

  • 1 Hyperdrive

  • Jump Upgrade: GREEN

  • Jump Upgrade: BLUE

  • Jump Upgrade: RED

"no hyperdrive installed"

"freight hyperdrive" (marked card)

There is a HYPER DRIVE, its 100% charged.

There upgrades to different colored galaxies you need to jump to them.

But still it wont work, but why?

#

Terrain changes I made disappeared. Did I do something wrong? [Question]

I'm still kind of new to the game, so I probably just messed something up. I cleared a hilltop to build a base. I used the flatten feature on the terrain manipulator to do so. I spent a lot of time building, saved my game frequently, and finished the build after a few hours. When I reloaded the game later that day, my build was still just as I left it, but after I did a few missions from the Nexus and came back, half the hilltop had grown back and was inside my base. Did I not save it correctly or is this just one of those things?

About incubating eggs [Question]

I had a post about the different outcomes of incubating with materials and Reddit deleted the save it was a post here can someone find it

#

It's interesting going back to systems I haven't explored since two or so years ago [Discussion]

To see how different the worlds are, what new and awesome animals live there and ended up loving a beautiful rocky desert world and setting up slowly a new base on a ledge of a valley

It's just amazing and I can't wait to see what else comes in time may it be further overhauls of planet types so we can one day get a proper dune world or the oceans that lie on a planet

All I can say is I'm on the hype train for the foreseeable future

And im happy I stuck with NMS

good ways to make units right now ? [Question]

Returning to the game after a long time and im confused at to whats the best... I read that indium farms were nerfed and I don't have the patience to set up stasis device farms... any tips is appreciated!

Weird film grain like effect on space station floor? [Question]

I would show a picture but I cant get a good enough screenshot that shows it. It basically looks like film grain but on the reflective surface of the space station floor. I'm not sure if its my computer or a bug but I thought I'd ask in case anyone knew what I was talking about or possibly had any idea on how to fix it (beyond just turning off reflections as they look super cool)

#

What are the chances? [Question]

Hi, it’s been a while since I’ve been here.

I just have a simple question. I just died on my first permadeath in the first 10 minutes, so I wanted to ask, what are the chances that a storm hits on a decaying nuclear planet on Permadeath? Because I know the odds are different than on Normal (which is what I play normally if not Creative.)

I just want to know if I was a dumbass or if I was going to die anyway.

Also, why is the main menu playing blowing wind sounds? Is this a glitch or is this the game telling me I’m a sucker for losing?

Ok, that’s it. Hope I’m not bothering you people. See ya later.

#

Atlas Path keeps showing up after completion [Question]

I completed the Atlas Path a while ago but every now and then it would show back up in my log and all I'd have to do is craft HotS again and pick my option(dont wanna risk spoiling). Is this normal? Does it happen to anyone else? Lol. Not sure if its a bug or not.

#

When are they going to fix the biological horror hit bug? [Bug]

This bug have been around since who knows when, a lot of time. They usually hit you, and you receive a lot of damage, and sometimes you even have a knockback, but then there is this bug, that happens quite regularly where the monstruosity hits you one time, but it counts as 5 or more hits, so you end up diyng in just 2-3 hits even with your shields upgraded with S modules.

And no, not playing on multi, nor I was hit by more than one monstruosity.

Came lost for Expedition 1 [Question]

Hello everybody! I wanted to know if there is any way to get the rewards from the last expedition, since I bought the game a week ago. I am on PC (Steam).

Greetings!

#

Returning Player Questions [Question]

A few questions, some have answers on web but from years ago and this game seems almost brand new every time I return so not sure if answers still relevant.

Do storms still happen indoors if you build your bases with nonprefab walls and make them too wide and/or too tall? Did they fix this or add an item or something to help designate large areas as indoors yet?

Are you limited to multiplayer only to people in your own galaxy? AKA if im in galaxy 133 and I go to the anomaly, will the only people there be the maybe 1 other person on NMS that plays on galaxy 133? (not talking about multiplayer with friends, mainly just random multiplayer/anomaly multiplayer)

I had more but forgot as I wrote other two.. thanks in advance!

Activated Indium farm no longer working [Question]

I built a new activated indium farm, and it worked fine for about a week.

Now whenever I go to it, the storage is always empty. I don't think other players are harvesting it, as it's always totally empty no matter when I check it.

The status of the power grid and storage silos is always good... It's just that they're empty and it's always showing the full 12 hours or whatever until full. If I stand there, the silos will fill.

I have 12 bases, but most of them are no more than a teleporter. My biggest base has 6 or 7 grow domes, three refiners, storage cubes and that's about it.

My husband's farm has still been working flawlessly.

Anyone know what the problem might be?

Questions from a newbie [Question]

Well got this game recently and first of it: i really like it! But still i got some questions: 1. What's the best way to earn lot of units (currently selling bones)? 2. Saw some people building underwater. Tried it myself but yeah... how can i remove that water in my house? 3. A little confused where i can get more plans (for building)? Thanks in advance and keep travelling!

#

Do electrical wires count towards base part limit? [Question]

Nowhere near reaching any base par limits so I can't really test it, just curious.

If I want to connect four batteries would it use 3 base parts for the 3 wires between them? 4 batteries will snap into a cuboid room and power it without wiring, is a cuboid room only 1 base part?

I could really go for more Pet Slots. [Suggestion]

I don’t know about the rest of you, but 6 pet slots isn’t nearly enough for me, especially now that I can tame things that FLY! The addition of pets is what brought me back to the game after a long hiatus, and I love the feature. Super grateful they added it to the game at all. The collector in me wants to put together a menagerie of Critter Companions, but with only 6 slots I’ve found myself unable to really scratch that itch. I understand not giving us infinite pet slots, but even bumping the number to 10 or 20 would give me a little more wiggle room to expand my collection and play around with the gene sequencer more without feeling like I have to leave favorites behind. Personally I think 50 would be a perfect number, but I know that might not be realistic.

I know I can store eggs, which is what I’ve been doing with pets I like but had to let go to make room. But it feels like a convoluted way to solve a problem that could be pretty easily fixed by just allowing us to purchase more slots. Especially since I don’t think that allowing additional pets would be game breaking like being able to keep a ton of ships would be. Honestly, I’d just like to be able to collect more creatures without creating a new save.

Does anyone else feel the same.

ideas for sean murry upvote if u want him to see it [Suggestion]

also, giant cities with a black market and bounty may be where you get a quest from a guy

in the black market has to hunt down an npc and eliminate it

ship customization maybe

crashed space stations

fleet wreckage overrun with biological horrors and those aliens from derelict freighters.

ruins of cities trading outposts and more stuff like that would be cool

hope you see this sean murry

I need mulitplayer help!! [Question]

I have been playing the new prisms update with a few friends and everything was going well except now sometimes when we get disconnected and we try rejoingjng each other, the person joining is forced to restart, it won't let them use there precious save data. We are on the same game mode and everything. This have happened twice now with two different friends. Anybody else have this problem and maybe know how to fix it?

They should greatly improve ps5 version haptic feedback. [Discussion]

The ps5 version has beautiful visuals, but barely takes advantage of the duel sense controller. Games like Astro bot, Returnal etc… have show the amazing power of haptic feedback and what it could be used for, so it’s a shame that nms barely supports this feature if at all. Imagine what I might feel like to get caught in a swirling sandstorm on a desert planet, or even just walking through the grass on that beautiful lush planet would feel like if they implemented full duel sense support.

#

Base extension? [Question]

Base base extension been patched? I can’t increase my base computer radius like I’ve seen in various guides. I tried to just build a bunch of wooden structures from the edge of my base but it’s not increasing the yield limit at all? The farthest outside my base I can build is if I stand in my base radius and use the build camera, but that’s only about 50 units? Is there

P.C. Specs for 4K and 60fps? [Question]

Interlopers, I’m currently on the whirly convection oven that is the PS4, but I’d like to migrate to PC. However, I’m weighing my options between a good rig or just holding out for a PS5 once the supply chain stops being fooked.

Can any PC players attest to the hardware requirements needed to get a good frame rate running at 4K? I don’t need the absolute highest level of detail, but I’d definitely want at least 60fps.

Gracias amigos

Console version incorrect? [Question]

#

How to Change Difficulty? (Online/Multi) [Question]

My friend just started playing and he really doesn't like Survival, but that's what my save is on. I was able to find out how to convert the save to Normal using the Save Editor, but unfortunately it only works on multiplayer after that, meaning that my friend literally cannot see my active game or join it. It fixes itself the second I change the version number back to Survival.

I only assume there's a second code/version number in the JSON that handles the multiplayer designation. Unfortunately, I can't find any such number.

#

Colonist NPC's? [Suggestion]

I have been playing this game from day one. I liked it then and I love it now. However, one thing that I have realized about this game recently is that for all of the changes there is one not yet implemented that would make it pretty much the perfect game for me.

I know it's a lonely universe but I wish there was some way to call colonists to my bases. Just some npc's with some basic ai to liven up the place. Put down a beacon or something and people move in and get to work.

I should point out that I play exclusively single player. It's just the way I like to play. Im not looking for anything crazy here, just some background noise. You want to do multi player good for you, I don't. Im not looking for friends, just ambience.

Again, I love this game and I love the efforts of the team behind it. Im just pointing out what would be something I would be happy to see.

I hope this isn't redundant but I haven't seen a discussion on this yet. I would love to hear the thoughts of others regarding this.

Profit turning methods. [Discussion]

So today I started grabbing different locally produced items from different economy types amd started plotting out the corresponding systems for the economy type associated with the components.Just doing this a few times has been profitable but I'm wondering if anyone has any pointers or tricks.Ive already done a fair share of economy crashing amd stuff like that but specifically the locally produced stuff sold at posts and stations.

Need help with a quest [Question]

Suppose to hire a base scientist for my quest but I cant not find him even though the quest marker says I'm in the right place, I've spoken to every alien in the station and not one is a scientist, even checked like 3 other stations but I cant find one. Any hints or advice? Maybe I'm missing something. Thanks

#

Technology Overcharge (Tech balance changes and specialization) [Suggestion]

With the ability to easily expand starship inventories, certain areas of starship gameplay have become very unbalanced and ships can become too overpowered. However, I still think that starship inventory upgrades are a necessary addition.

So, I propose Technology Overcharging.

If the player places more than 3 total (not per-inventory type) upgrades, the technology that the upgrades enhance will experience the high-power stats that we see in current 3+ upgrade setups. However, the high stats in this technology may have adverse effects on other technologies.

For example, 6 S-Class shield modules will give my ship functionally unbreakable defenses like we see today. But this technology, being overcharged by the 3 extra modules, will have a severe impact on my ship's movement speed. By reducing my shield setup to 3 modules, the movement stats are balanced out at the cost of having slightly lower defenses.

This can allow players to specifically specialize their equipment to overperform (by being overcharged) in certain areas, but fall slightly short in others.

This shouldn't apply to already balanced or passive features, such as hyperdrive upgrades.

#

HOTAS Flight stick in VR? [Question]

I realize this might be a silly question.....but.....is there an easy way for me to swap controls to my flight stick when I get in my spaceship? I feel like it would maximize immersion if I could LIT’rally grab flight controls.

#

Module limits [Question]

I googled it and the wiki says that there can only be 3 hyperdrive modules equipped otherwise they all get disabled. However, I bought 2 X-class hyperdrive modules and installed them, and they both applied. I now have 5 upgrade modules and my hyperdrive range says 775, which is the accumulation of all 5. Have they removed the module limit? Or do X-class modules not apply towards that limit?

#

How would you improve on existing features to make the game more interesting? Including some ideas of mine. [Discussion]

No Man's Sky obviously has almost infinitely many ways it could improve upon itself, and although I get the many posts of people suggesting features, I reckon Hello Games is also aware of everything that could be added and doesn't because of reasons.

So I like to think of ways the game would be more interesting by slightly improving upon, or adding to existing features, thereby perhaps making it slightly more feasible? I don't know, I just wanted to write down my thoughts. Don't get mad if you don't agree! Thats Ok, these are just some thoughts, and I tried to keep it short, so I'm not always going into as much detail as I could.

​ Freighter missions are kind of pointless. It seems the only goal of sending your frigates on missions is to gather stuff and funds. However, building a large enough fleet to make sending them on missions worth it, takes a lot of money. If you're able to buy enough frigates, you probably have a pretty steady income already. So why would you need to send you frigates out on missions?

I can think of many ways this could be improved upon, but I don't want to make this too long. One very simple way of at least making missions a bit more worth it, would be to add nanites and maybe even Quicksilver and Tainted Metal to the list of valuables that can be gotten through missions. Exocrafts need specialization. Exocrafts are cool yes, but they're also kinda all the same. What about making all or some a necessity (or at least highly useful) for exploring certain planets?, extracting resources, fighting sentinels etc? Right now the Nomad, Roamer and Pilgrim, are more or less the same. The Colossus seems to be intended to gather large amount of resources, but I never find myself needing it. The Minotaur is cool, but handles like a rock, and you don't really need it for anything....

#

Nanite! So this happened today [Discussion]

I was converting tainted metal to nanites today. I started the routine and began adding to my base. I went to collect the nanites and one machine only had 400 nanites and the metal, just disappeared. Oh well I thought and started the one that seemed have worked fine again. I jumped in my ship and out again to reset, hoping my tainted metal would return. It did not. Instead, my refiner seemed to be caught in a loop. A very cool loop at that. I would extract the nanites and Boom! It would be full again. This happened over and over. Then I went to take the metal out and nanites as well. Both were replenished. Needless to say I have about 700k nanites and delved out a ton of tainted metal at the nexus....I will post a short video when I get home and link to it. .

Egg Sequencer [Question]

Does the sequencer stop when I've reached the max or min size of an egg? I've been making a tiny Trex type guy but I've put materials in the growth spot for about 5 mins now. Am I wasting my mats or does it take them until it can't?

#

Back from 6 months away, my planet isn’t the same. [Discussion]

As the title reads, so I play on permadeath and my main base is broken and my planet is completely different.

The planet was an earth like and was beautiful, now it’s a dessert hell scape and almost all of my base is imbedded into the ground and is inaccessible.

I’ve tried digging it out but after leaving the system it goes back to being under dirt.

What happened? I thought updates didn’t effect planets? I’m assuming I’m SOL and I gotta move on right?

#

How far am I to the end of the story? [Question]

I just got done doing work for all the races and getting intel from all of them. I just spoke to Null and he left a distress signal. Currently on the mission “16/16” am I close to finishing the Artemis story or even getting all the glyphs? Thanks

#

Has anyone found any practical use for the Minotaur? [Discussion]

During one of the expeditions - one of the milestones was to gather 50 storm crystals. I haven’t encountered any storm crystals in my normal save so I googled different approaches to gathering storm crystals.

One user suggested using a Minotaur since it can withstand any extreme storm. Right away I grabbed the exocraft from the Anomaly, deployed it on the extreme planet with storm crystals and was largely underwhelmed.

It’s really clunky, moves like an elephant, and weirdly jet packs like a frog (fun part of the suit at least).

It was infinitely faster for me to jet-pack boost around while taking advantage of the jet-pack heat-storm boosts while periodically recharging my hazards.

What else is the suit good for?

How do i get rid of the communications station? [Bug]

Hello games, we need to talk.. [Meta]

Like many, I bought NMS at launch on the ps4. The first night of playing was mesmerizing, I was sucked in. The biggest thing I wanted in my life, for as long as I can remember, was to be an explorer. Discover something new in a mysterious new world. But by the end of the first week I put it down, it just wasn’t ready. The skeleton was there but unfortunately that’s all that was there,a skeleton.

Over the years I saw patches were coming out and more life was coming to the game. I redownloaded a few more times, enjoyed my first night or two, but then I’d see the title fall further back in my list of games. Until I’d eventually uninstall to make room for something else..

This past weekend I decided to give it another go on PC with the new update....

Cost me $30 on steam.

What the actual fuck. How can I give you more money? This cost me $10 more than Valheim, Which I loved every second of, And there is an uncomfortable amount of content. And you’ve been giving it out to your community for free?!

I’m absolutely sure it’s been said, and your award at this past years games award was respectfully earned, But you are a true gold standard for a studio. I am absolutely blown away with this game and feel like I have robbed you for only paying $30, of which you probably only got a small amount of.

I know I’m not the only one but I’d absolutely donate to you guys to keep allowing this wonderful game to keep evolving. Like the universe itself.

This team is something special and I truly hope you never get lost in the mess that the gaming industry is. Looking at you CDPR..

From the bottom of my heart, Thank you for giving me the most zen gaming experience in my short 32 years on this planet.

Is this common? [Question]

I recently started playing the game today and completed the first planet got my hyper drive but before I left I went to check out another planet in the system and there was a distress call, after going to the distress call there was a crashed “S class ship”which I claimed and have to fix up

I’m guessing this is either super lucky or meant to be found never the less I’m happy!!

Pirates Arrrr dumb [Discussion]

So, I’m not a rocket surgeon, but if I were a space pirate … you know; looting and scootin’ with interstellar shipping for fun and profit - If my 6-ship posse came across a target that pretty much instantly destroyed 2 different 2-ship formations of my drinking buddies, a couple of asteroids, some system authority ships, and anything else that got in the way …. I’m thinking “slowly strafe this thing that looks like instant death” wouldn’t be my go-to strategy….

My Steam Review for NMS [Discussion]

The game has a lot of eye candy and toys but the devs don't seem to have a full grasp on what is essential to someone who is prepared to grind hard. Reliability and sustainability for the work put in. Perhaps they fully grasp that concept but are just incapable of fixing many of the bugs that cause these reliability issues. In saying that the issue that's just affected me could easily have been fixed and has been mentioned by many other folks for years. As is the case with a lot of the non-bug issues with the game. Very obvious problems that quite rightly put a lot of people off playing. It's a shame as it's very close to being excellent with some really major issues that are a pretty ridiculous given the games age.

NMS is a bit style over content in many ways. They've clearly spent a lot of time getting the eye candy and toys in the game but they've not addressed a lot of the inconsistencies in the gameplay and missions. I've ignored masses of issues in the game so far after 150 hours and made the effort to work around the ones you can't ignore but it's got to the point where it's not feeling like fun if I can't trust the game not to keep throwing up problems that really shouldn't exist and could easily be resolved.

Hello Games have put a lot of effort into explaining very basic concepts in the game to the point where it becomes repetitive but they've failed to introduce the massively important concept of mandatory uploading of discoveries to secure the discovery. The fact that they don't tell you this may well be due to them trying to cover up the fact that the online service for doing so has historically been down more than up it seems. Not only have they failed to make that abundantly clear it's worse because they actually tell you that you HAVE in fact discovered any planet that you have been the first visitor to. So it comes as a bit of a shock to discover that you are supposed...

Question about BeatByte start times [Question]

Does anyone know what determines the point at which a unit actually starts playing? So far, with my few experiments, this seems like a more complicated question than it might seem to be. I've determined that it is not actually when the unit receives power.

In other words, I want to be able to turn on the unit(s) and have it begin at bar 1.

Does it just start playing when you originally create the unit and then continues to play even if it's unpowered? Because so far, that's the way it seems. The stop button on the pattern screen actually functions like a mute button, not a stop button. I'd love to get some more insight into this device.

Derelict freighters nerfed? [Question]

So I just came back to nms after a year or two hiatus. Saw that they added in derelict freighters, boarded 4, cleaned them out completely (slime and all). I've seen posts online talking about 10mil+ freighters but have only gotten roughly 500K max. Am I missing something or did they get nerfed into oblivion?

Why with the no naming things in vr shtick? [Question]

Just curious if there's ever been a reason given for why you can't name things (planets, flora, fauna) before uploading your finds to the server. You can rename bases, ships, pets, and basically everything else, so it's not like keyboard / text entry hasn't been implemented.

Returning Player - Help? [Question]

So I have a save with 19 hours but I literally forgot everything about the game as it's been a few years.

I was going to start a new survival save, but I see there's still the issue of spawning in a world that is impossible to progress as you die right off the bat.

I've re-rolled around 12ish times and have gotten high lvls of radiation every time.

Is the only solution really to just keep rolling until I get a safe planet?

There's never any sodium to replenish hazards, or caves.

I'm trying to get a buddy into the game with me, but he's not going to want to do this tedious save re-roll dozens of times.

Starship generation should be updated [Suggestion]

Been playing basically since day 1 (okay tbh im not as regularly playing as most of you are probably) and I love to explore new star systems with their planets flora and fauna which almost regularly get updates..

Suprisingly for me actually I started to collect interesting looking star ships with a passion I had for nothing else in this game.. but sadly most of them look exactly alike with their only variation in colour.. why exactly are there only 2 types for cockpits when you look ar the explorer class?

In my opinion adding more visual styles for ships would be more than cosmetic, it would add even more fun at collecting a truly special looking vehicle.. I mean.. the hype for living ships felt great too and they are even simpler in form of variation.. imagine this but with starships you'll see on a daily base with NPCs!

How big have you grown your flyers? [Discussion]

the largest ive gotten height and weight wise is 3 meters tall and approx. 120-130 in weight. can we increase the size of an egg laid by my currently size-maxed creature. i just kept putting the egg in the sequencer dosing 100% size increase with platinum until the 'increasing'/'decreasing' text area just said inherited which iirc means ive reached the species max size even though i can still add materials just cuz lol

also what is the fastest flyer so far? it seems like its either the beetle or the butter/dragonfly but i dont have a beetle yet so i cant test it.

im also still comparing speeds from og creatures vs size-maxed eggs but it does in fact seem like there is a height/speed boost with bigger size which is amazing hehe, i just havent been able to make any creatures as big as the beetle from that post where the op said it flew faster than npc ships lol

Hi my name is coyote and I'm addicted to farming ships. [Meme]

I have owned the game for less than a week and I think it's safe to say that I have become addicted to it. However it is not the base building, the exploration, or even the pet taming that has me hooked. It is the ship system and the RNG that surrounds it.

Once I figured out how to farm units with chlorine I have spent probably about a third of my playing time just sitting at trading posts and space stations waiting for the right looking ship or an exotic ship to show up. And it has gotten to the point to where now I feel like I am actively doing the game a disservice by doing so.

What has this game done to me?

#

Unstuck [Suggestion]

This game really needs an Unstuck command (e.g. on Warframe you can type "Unstuck" in the chat). I love it to bits, but it's been REALLY frustrating losing minutes to hours of progress because of the collision or physics breaking down.

My friends ship freaked out yesterday when he was landing, and got stuck in one of the cosmetic parts of a building. Killing him didn't work, he had to go back around 1 to 2 hours (since the game didn't auto-save him getting out of the ship).

Today, I landed inside of a freighter. Shpuld have just left when I saw part of an asteroid in it, but everything worked fine until I got to the stairs. Then I clipped under the walkway, and had no way out. Thankfully my last save was only 35 or so minutes before (since it didn't do the leave ship autosave again), but the matter remains.

Yet another "why no dlss" post [Bug]

I originally had this game on GamePass and saw that there was any apparent bug in their updated version that did not have dlss. A few days later there was a patch that was supposed to fix this but I still did not have the option. I purchased the Steam version of the game and still nothing (and no I didn't get the Steam version just because of this). Made sure Windows and all drivers were up to date. Tried manually changing the settings as per a different post on the subject but no luck. Started thinking that maybe it was a setting on my computer itself because I just re-installed Windows a couple of months ago. Loaded up some other games that support dlss and they all displayed the option and worked fine. Now I'm here hoping someone has some suggestions or ideas.

New player help! [Question]

Well I just started playing thanks to a gamepass trial and I made it as far as making a base on the second planet you land on.

Thanks guys!

What to do with Salvaged Frigate Modules [Question]

So I've used all the modules I think I need to unlock upgrades on my freighter, and I don't know if I should sell the extras or if I need to keep them when I upgrade to a better freighter to unlock the upgrades again. I will likely give the extras I can to friends/new players, but otherwise they are just taking up storage space. Any advice on whether I should sell them or keep them for other things I don't know about?

#

Marking a portal [Question]

I can't find any information about this online so I'm asking here. I am trying to put a save beacon next to a portal so I can find it easier, but someone has made their base so close to it that the surrounding land is "not place able". I tried removing the persons base by reporting it but it didn't work and now I feel bad. Is there any way I can place something to keep track of the portal or am I going to have to find another system to live in?

Huge bases [Question]

Hey guys, one question here for two reasons.

How do people make those huge bases over long expanses of land? Just base computers over and over again all adjacent?

It’d be sick to put hours into a huge build with bridges and all that, but also sometimes with indium mines and what not, range can be an issue.

Interested in buying NMS after all the updates and attention the game is getting now. I'm kind of interested in a physical copy for PS4 though (with upgrade to PS5 version). Can't seem to find any in Canada near me. Any suggestions? [Question]

I live just a little northwest of Toronto and I've been going on FB marketplace, Kijiji, etc. But couldn't find a reasonable distance to drive for a disc copy. I may just bite the bullet and get the digital version since it's on sale for $40 CAD right now but if anyone is willing to find me a disc copy of the game I'd be happy. I'm thinking of going back to collecting physical games again. There's something satisfying about having cases in my possession, even if digital is more convenient.

Does the Combat scope work on PC VR? [Question]

Its been a while but i remember the combat scope used to offer a zoom function. When ive got it installed and equipped while playing in VR it does nothing used with either the scatter gun or blaze javelin. I know the alt fire works. i cant fire grenades or put a shield up if those are selected. the scope doesnt do anything. is this broken in VR or am i missing something?

#

Lock HUD to HMD in VR option ever? [Question]

I know there's a mod for it, but that keeps needing updates from each game update.

Has there ever been talk from the devs saying it could happen, will never happen, anything?

It just seems crazy that there's not simply an option (which seems simple enough if a mod can do it) to allow room scale play, i.e. turning around IRL etc.

Thanks.

Huge Pre Fabs with NPC's [Discussion]

Maybe in the future since we already micro manage an entire fleet of frigates and can build endless mineral depot's and flora farms.. maybe it's time to let us colonize planets as well. Let us build Huge Prefabs complete with living quarters, shops, parks, ship parking, teleporters and market places that all come to life when we power the grid adding NPC's and ship traffic to huge sections of the planets continents. Everything can be modular so we can customize our cities. Add new Nuclear Power Plants or Extra Strength Electromagnetic Generators because a city will need alot of power!!

Am I just now realizing this, or is this a new thing [Discussion]

Yesterday while just flying around in space, I summoned my capital ship and rest of the fleet..

As I flew over to it, I noticed that some (then found out its all) of the minor fleet ships have landing pads on them, and that you can interact directly with the ships. Has this always been a thing?

#

QoL suggestion [Suggestion]

So one thing I think that would be a great Quality of Life change would be to make it so when I am installing new technology, if I have the materials to craft the part needed (IE: Carbon Nanotubes, Steel Palting, etc.), I should be able to craft it from that menu instead of having to bake out to my inventory and craft them. I think it would make crafting a whole lot better.

Unless there is some better way to craft that I haven't figured out or something, crafting kind of feels clunky in NMS (on Console anyway) IMO.

Expedition save, port it to a normal save or dont? [Question]

Hi, just want to ask if its better to port the expedition save to a normal one. I played expedtion for the first time and i dont know if its better to leave it, because of the phase what i already made, or port it to a normal game. Because it could be that in a next expedition the phases are going to be reseted. Like i said, i dont know.

And i didnt hear that the last expedition came out. I didnt become a email from hello games, or about the prism update. do hello games even send emails about that?

Did I screw up getting the free freighter? [Question]

I did the first freighter battle and passed on it to get a better one. However I did accept the reward (gave me a little bit of chromatic metal) instead of just leaving. When I did a a another 5 jumps another battle happened. However this time the captain didn't offer me the freighter, just an option to buy it.

So will it eventually spawn again or should I iust not bother with trying to get the free one?

When did they charge Curious Deposits to give Runaway Mould instead of Minerals? [Question]

That should read "change" not "charge".

I was expecting to get those pink minerals you could analyze for Geodesite, Living Bronze, etc. Instead I got 250 Runaway Mould for each one. Sure, I can refine it for 50 nanites per CD, and I can save and reload to do it over and over for unlimited nanites, but not really a good use of my time. I'd rather have the higher-dollar minerals.

I haven't checked Floating Crystals to see if they give Minerals or Mould yet.

Endless Death Loop [Bug]

Well there goes my 300+ hour game save.

#

Mod crossplay compatibility [Question]

I have recently found out there is a good amount of mods for this game and while I do not intend to mod the game anytime soon as off rn I still think it would be wise to ask beforehand.

Are PC mods crossplay multiplayer compatible? I often play together with a friend on Xbox, while I doubt Graphic mods will pose an issue other types of mods may do. While I have found this post it doesn't give me a clear answer to this.

If I have a mod installed that increases Pirate spawn and difficulty how will that affect the other Player in my session, will he only see the normal amount of pirates with normal strength or won't he see them at all?

Help would be appreciated as I do not wish to break my friends game just because of a small mod.

Clarification needed [Question]

So I’m relatively new to nms, got like 20 hours. Is it possible for me to travel to another galaxy (another players base?) via the teleporter on the anomaly? I’m no where near the point of galaxy travel in the story as far as I can tell, and the information on teleporting between galaxies is hazy from what I’ve found. My goal is to get to the Eissentam galaxy to feed my addiction in the search for the perfect planet. Failing that, is it possible for someone to invite me to the game who’s already in the Eissentam galaxy? I don’t even really mind starting again at this point if that’s any consolation. Hope someone can clear up the info for me :)

I have a few questions [Question]

Long post sorry

I was one of the people who were really excited for the game before launch, but after seeing the opinions online I was uncertain and never bought it. I knew they have kept updating the game, but never took the time to see what they changed. I love space games, and I have been playing games like Elite Dangerous for a long time now. After Odyssey launch, I felt disappointed and wanted to search for another option. OA last video made me think about No Man's Sky again, so I wanted to ask a few things:

How does multiplayer works? I know in some update they made it so other people have bodies, but the main game is still the type of "you are alone and you come across other people's stuff" right? Can you meet other people by accident?

If I want to play with someone else, do we appear "close"? Or do we have to search each other?

How it is the customisation of ships/suits? Do you change parts or the whole thing at once?

How much grinding should I expect? I come from ED, which is horrible in that part, so I was looking for something lighter.

I remember seeing (in the beginning) that there were some structures you had to reach. Is there any kind of "side narrative"?

Is there anything a new player should know in advance?

I didn't see any questions thread on the top of the subreddit, but if I have to move this post tell me. Thanks everyone

Base building co-op questions [Question]

A long time ago a friend and I tried NMS as a co-op game but quickly ran out of things to do, as the emphasis was on solo exploration. Obviously a lot has changed since and I'm wondering if it is worth going back to for co-op. I have few questions which googling hasn't helped me with I create a base and then change the settings to let other people edit it? Can friends edit the base when the owner is offline? (based off old reddit post I found) Do non-owners have access to their own unlocks, and/or the unlocks of the owner of the base? Say a friend starts working on my base, can they add the base as a teleport location? If not, what is the best solution for them to return to it? Aside of base building, what's the most fun you've had with friends?

Accidentally chose Calypso...help? [Spoiler]

Thanks for stopping by, I'm really wondering what is going on at this point in my NMS normal mode save.

I made it to the end of what I think the main story is. I was at an Atlas station and there were 4 glowing orbs in front of me and I just went to the red one, the closest one to me, and chose "reset simulation" option.

At the time I didn't know what was happening, that each orb would take you to a different galaxy with different kinds of planets...so I picked the red one just by blind accident.

I also didn't realize it would destroy all my stuff!!! My epic multi tool has all the tech damaged as well as my s class ship I fly around in and my tech in my exo suit.

I've barely got money, around 2 million, because I've been playing just as an explorer. I just love finding new planets and checking things out. I haven't built anything amazing or made a farm or anything. I've been slowly and casually playing through the main story as I feel like it. I've got 90 hours in the game or so. But now! Now all my stuff is broken and I have no way to repair it because it's going to be like a gazillion wiring looms. And on top of that I don't know if I want to be in Calypso since I play to relax and just casually explore, I don't want to face death everywhere I go.

So I thought, hey maybe I can just jump back. So I've been able to revisit my base in Euclid and then from the Nexus I visited some other players base in Eissantam I think. I thought maybe I can get some quick cash by visiting one of those free indium farms people have set up.

I went to one of the big Stargate portal things and entered all the coordinates on a picture I found on reddit but upon arriving I'm just at the portal on the other side...once you go through the portal how do you guys actually find anything? How do I navigate to a base after going through a portal? Would anyone happen to have any good...

Why did I randomly get 9999x Tainted Metal? [Bug]

I a bit early in the game, I've just left the first system. I checked my inventory and suddenly I've got 9999x Tainted Metal, which I've never seen before. I've deduced that I can refine these into nanites, but I'm sure if I should because this is probably a bug.

Does anyone have pictures doing a before and after comparison with Prisms? [Question]

Google isn't bringing anything obvious up for me to look at. I played the game on release and am jumping back in now. I think I noticed that the cave I started this new save file in appeared to be way more foliage-dense, but I'm also not positive.

I would love to see some side-by-side comparisons of before and after Prisms if anyone has them or can provide a link to one. They don't necessarily have to be the exact same ship/spot/planet/etc either, I just wanna see some clear comparison if anyone has done one yet.

Much appreciated!

Almost lost my permadeath save to bugged, teleporting biological horrors. [Bug]

For clarifying stuff it wasn'y my first fight with these things, I already had everything figured out and fighting entire swarms wasn't a problem.

Except this time I opened up an egg and then ran away because I was busy and didn't have time to fight them. Then suddenly as I'm running to my ship, the same horrors that were about 50-60 units away from me started doing the rush attack thing, problem is...it looked like they were locked in that attack animation and were going towards me at lightspeed (again from their spawnpoint that was already like 70-80 units away as I was jetpacking away from them).

Also...the whole action I described here took like 5 seconds of real time...

I realised what was going to happen and quickly alt+f4 because there were still some more horrors on that spawn about 100 units from me that I could already see teleporting my way :/

Definitely not opening any whispering eggs ever again, thanks game.

I was going through old screenshots on PS4 when I found that I had taken one of a GMB. I go back to the system that me and my friends started on and lucky enough it was still there. I had no idea at the time how rare these creatures are. Going back to that planet i'm now horrified that it lives on the planet "Gamer World". almost everything in the system is named something dumb. I don't have the glyphs to the planet but here's glyphs to a nearby one that you'd just need to fly from. I'm kinda upset with myself with the dumb names we gave things but I felt I needed to share regardless

Can they allow us to have more than 6 ships? [Discussion]

Since the game came out, you have only been able to own 6 ships at the same time. On its own, that's quite restrictive, but since then they've added living ships and the golden vector. The number of cools ships is now so far beyond the amount you can own, I feel like I am missing out on new experiences because I already have 6 ships that I like.

It would be amazing if Hello Games could add something like cold storage for ships. Maybe you could only keep 6 active ships at a time, preserving the current functionality of summoning them and having them spawn in your freighter, but if you want a new ship and you're already full, you could have the option to put it in cold storage. The cold storage could be a base building part that allows you to search through ships you own and swap them in and out of your active 6 slots.

Putting a ship in cold storage would despawn it, preventing players from being able to hail 100's of their own ships in one location. Ships in cold storage would never need to be rendered unless they are switched to active storage. This way the data that represents each ship in cold storage can stay small and compact, and you wouldn't run into issues rendering a large number of ships. Ships in cold storage would not be accesable for inventory or upgrading unless they are swapped into your active 6 ship slots.

This seems like a good way to allow players to own any ship they see, preserve the current functionality, and keep the new feature computationally small.

Also please change the variable type that represents units from an unsigned long or unisgned int to a long long. 4.2 billion is not high enough for a max units, I need 9 quintrillion units.

Also also please let us sell ships to other players on an open market

so I restarted play a short while ago and I still have the Horizon Omega is it worth it to upgrade it? like would it compare to other fighters when it comes to base stats? I think it's cool to have because I haven't seen anyone else with it, so I feel like it's kinda rare.

Beautiful Game, seeking info [Information]

Hey everyone! New Traveller here. Like 30-40hrs in to the game. I thank you for taking the time to read.

My question is, how do you make units(money)?

What have I been doing are: Killing Sentinels, sell parts Sell Salvage Data

Is there any other way to make a more abundant way of money making? Killing Sentinels takes too long for me to kill

Thank you very much! Have a lovely week

Xbox/GamePass Issue [Question]

Mac? [Question]

I love the sounds in this game [Discussion]

I feel as though the sound design of NMS is underappreciated because it's truly incredible. I have about 300 hours in and every time i come back to the game to check out the latest updates i'm totally immersed by the music and sound effects. Its always evolving with the different ecosystems flows so well with the visual beauty of the game. I just stop and listen all the time. That's all !

What did damaged machinery do before it was damaged? (Wrong answers only) [Discussion]

Ever ponder the fact that no one across 256 vast galaxies has ever stumbled across an undamaged instance of these bad boys, still just humming along happily on a hillside somewhere doing its thing? Which leads one to wonder: What was its thing? Why did some earlier group of settlers or explorers feel the need to distribute these apparently 100% failure-prone devices across the entire universe, and what did they hope to gain by doing do?

Clearly, this is the most urgent remaining gap in No Man's Sky lore. Please fill it by posting your best/worst guesses below. Thank you.

Do i have to do the artemis quest thing? [Question]

The one glaring omission this game sorely needs and would be super easy for HG to add... [Suggestion]

... A 'favourites' tag for planets you want to 'bookmark' for return trips.

So far the only way I can feasibly mark a planet as a 'favourite' (or simply as a point of particular interest) is to either use a naming convention like 'FAV_lava-planet' when claiming it, or to place a base computer somewhere on that planet. Both methods technically work, but then I end up with a bunch of unused bases clogging up the teleporter UI.

Instead, why not add a 'pin to favourites' tag in the planet discoveries page?

Visit a planet you like, but don't want to use clunky naming conventions or base computers? Just select the planet you want in the discoveries tab, and press the 'add to favourites' button. Then you can scroll over to the 'favourites' tab abd view all your most-loved planets in one convenient list, along with their teleport coordinates, or even the teleport shortcut for the nearest space station.

Prism has me taking lots of photos again! [Information]

Back in the early days of this game 1.0-1.3, I'd frequently find beautiful scenery that I just had to stop and take photos of. I'd end up with folders with lot of pictures from these releases.

However, since the Next (1.5) release and it's graphical overhaul, I noticed I wasn't taking all that many photos.. planets were becoming too samey, and I just wasn't finding that many spectacular photo opportunities.

Since Prism dropped, I've taken more photos in few weeks than I have in months! Love the visual upgrades. Thanks HG!

#

Cooking ingredients inquiry [Question]

Now that fiendish roe can be found in the game, has anyone had any luck locating diplo chunks or giant eggs? I just went hopping to some planets with actual diplos and they're still dropping creature eggs and meaty chunks. I'm kind of hoping those two ingredients are coming from anomalous creatures like the fiendish roe is.

If anyone's found any, would you please share coordinates? I only need those two ingredients to complete my cooking catalogue. Thanks!

Claimed wrecked ship, now can't find my first ship... [Question]

So I just picked this up recently, have been absolutely loving it so far but have a big issue now.

I claimed a wrecked ship (the one as part of the first few hours of the main quest when you go to Strangers Coordinates). It didn't say anything about losing my first ship, but now this wrecked one is my main one and I cannot find my first ship.

I still own it, I can see it in the summon menu but it is out of launch fuel (ugh) and I cannot find it anywhere on my HUD or visor.

Is there a way to locate it or do I need to move on? 😔

Ideas for Improving Exocraft Gameplay? [Suggestion/Discussion]

At the moment, what use is an Exocraft besides dropping in, using the scanner and then getting in your ship to fly to the destination?

Sure, they're fun to drive, but they're never really required. Some of the crafts have their uniqueness, the Nomad can float over water, the Nautilus is a mini sub, the Minotaur can interact with stuff without you leaving the suit/mech. The Roamer and the Pilgrim don't really do anything unique, I don't think(?). And then the Colossus is... well, massive and slow.

What could be introduced to improve or encourage more Exocraft gameplay?

What if there were rare materials that could only be mined with a vehicular mounted laser?

What if there were areas of some planets that you just couldn't land at - maybe some interference that your ship couldn't get through or localized storms that would knock your ship out of the sky, so you have to land at the outskirts of the zone and travel in via exocraft? Could be an interesting mission idea - stranded travellers in the middle of a no fly zone require a pick up, or parts delivered to their broken down exocraft themselves.

I've often thought that the Colossus could be pretty great for "multi crew" gameplay. Got a big turret on the top that a second player could control, maybe it could deploy some drones that could be controlled by a 3rd and/or 4th player? Add a couple of front mounted lasers for the driver. Turn it into a real mobile powerhouse. Your driver can get you where you need to be, the turret and drones for scouting and mining out ore deposits and points of interest.

Similarly, maybe the Roamer could have a second player in it, controlling the turret on top?

I guess that would leave the Pilgrim without a gimmick, but... it's a space motorbike, which is pretty cool!

How does PvP work? [Question]

I’m downloading the game for the first time right now, I’m wondering how exactly PvP works. Could I genuinely be a badass space pirate and travel the galaxy killing people and taking their stuff if I were so inclined? Raiding bases and ships and what not? Or is it more limited?

#

Random freezing problem [Bug]

Just wondering if anyone else has this problem. While playing my game will freeze randomly and i have to wait a few seconds for the game to continue, this continues until my game freezes for the last time and my game crashes and stops responding. This seems to happen when I save or die and reload a save, nit sure if this is something wrong with my saves or GPU.

First Time NoManSky Gamer, mission to get free freighter bugged. [Bug]

Hey gamers, I did the mission to help a freighter in need for the first time that is supposed to give you a free freighter but when I land and go to talk to the ship's Captain or I guess Commander it won't give me the option to interact with them.

Is this just a sucks to suck scenario for me or is there something I can do to fix this? I've already tried leaving the ship and coming back to no benefit :/

Almost perfection.. [Suggestion]

BOY HOWDY! This update is absolutely gorgeous! I can really only think of a few things that would make this game perfection:

-Ability to change key bindings.

Is there a way to deactivate anomaly detectors? [Question]

This thing is giving me cancer. I pulsed around for 10 minutes each in 7 different systems of all kinds, and it hasn’t detected an anomaly yet. I’m convinced it’s broken in prisms because I’ve never had a problem before. It still shows the message to get in my ship and start pulsing, and I want to get rid of that message. How would I do that?

PC Game Pass Performance [Bug]

I am getting very strange performance on my PC with this game. Very low and hitching FPS 10-30 when doing initial loading and then while actually playing it'll run okay but sometimes hitch hard down to 30-45 fps. Makes absolutely no sense. Never have these issues on Series X.

PC Specs

CPU 3900x

GPU RTX 3080

32GB 3600Mhz Ram

SSD Game is on is a Gen 4 NVME

When running the game it has a fairly high GPU usage but my CPU usage is like 10% or lower at times.

Complete Overhaul of Ship classes. Wanting there to be a reason to actually rank up ships [Suggestion]

Traits that each class of ship has that are unlocked as you rank a ship up or are pre unlocked.

This provides purpose to actually upgrading a ship instead of going for an exotic s-class aside from sentimental value. Because right now, there isnt any reason to try any ship other than the first s class you find. Haulers and shuttles are functionally worthless. Ships overall i think need some more defining factors than whether you want a x wing, a fish zord, or a lunch box.

Generally ship traits follow these ideas:

C class ships have no traits

B class have a stat related trait

A class have a function related trait

S class have a powerful new ability related trait

Ships keep all previous traits intact regardless if they started above or were upgraded above the rank

Ship rank traits are shown under their stats in a small drop down menu, not yet revealed ship traits are obscured similarly to how the Beachhead Expedition's phase 5 missions were obscured.

Explorer ships

Have decent speed great manuverability but mediocre damage output and shields. Faster than average pulse boost speed and excellent warp range

The B class trait improves warp drive range and fuel efficency passively

The A class trait make it highly resistant to object collision on shields and make it impossible to lose ship health to object collision like meteors or trees

The S class trait makes the ship able to emergency warp, and travel through black holes without risking damage.

Fighter ships

High damage, high manuveribility, above average regular speed and shift boost speed. Low pulse drive boost speed and very low warp drive range. Reduced warp drive fuel capacity and efficency

The B class trait...

Anyone down to help a Traveller max upgrade his living ship? [Question]

I've got all the storage modules I need, I've just got no one to do it with.

I can help you max yours out as well (alongside providing all the modules needed) and can give you all the spare living ship upgrades I have(3 s class grafted eyes,4 a-class grafted eyes, 1 b class singularity, 1 b class scream suppressor, and 10 d class upgrades).

I'm on PS5 in survival difficulty.

Cant progress past first warp [Bug]

I’ve never played before, I’m about 8 hours into my first game. Was slowly exploring the few planets in my system for a while as I did the main quests. Finally got to the point of getting my hyperdrive, and I have no other to follow and every system I try to select says “ANOMALOUS SIGNAL BLOCKING WARP”. I’ve talked to everyone in the space station, I have no other quests. I don’t know what’s going on. I’ve been playing with a friend but we’re in my game so I don’t know if that would interfere. I’m in the Euclid Galaxy which is where I’m pretty sure I should be. I have no more ideas and I really don’t feel like spending another 6-8 hours doing things to get back to where I am.

You can land on frigates!? [Information]

I’ve got 130 hours of gameplay - did the Artemis storyline and am just about done with the atlas one. I mostly planet hop, earning money, doing side missions and just enjoying the expanse of NMS. I JUST found out I could land on my frigates - I have 5of these guys! I was about disappointed that there wasn’t much on the inside - not even NPCs to chat with. Nothing interactive at all, although many screens that seem like they should be.

Specific Weather Events Not Occurring [Bug]

#

Looking at playing with a group of friends, but unsure how multiplayer saves work [Question]

We play games in a group of 4/5 most of the time. We've just stopped playing Valheim and the way we kept our save file going is by passing the world data around to whoever's online and able to host.

Seeing as NMS is pushed as the "persistent universe" how would it work in a scenario where the initial host is offline, but friends want to play at their group base together?

Does the host need to be there for things to show up on the planet? If we all spawn a million miles away, how do we get back to our group's system?

#

So I just started exploring again for the first time since release, and I have a few questions? [Question]

I started again a couple days ago (PS4) and though I'm doing alright, there are a few things I wanted to clarify.

Is progressing the story immediately recommended?

Is there no way to move parts of your base without removing and rebuilding?

I upgrade my exosuit storage at every new space station but with all the exosuit shield upgrades, I'm still running out of space. Is it possible to add slots to the Technology and Cargo tabs?

Is increasing starship storage supposed to be crazy expensive or am I missing an easier way outside of the vendor at spacestations?

This is all I can think of for now, but I would appreciate if someone could link a solid base building guide video!

Thank you!

#

So, any clues on when the next Expedition will start? [Discussion]

I sort off expected a steady switch between "regular" and "shorts" after playing through the two. The "regular" one lasted 2 months, the short one two weeks - although with that one most of it was filler , it was all about the gimmic reveal anyways. I don't mind them like that, as a variation to the regular ones that's ok.

For the Anniversary I sort of expect a "short one", mostly as some sort of community event that shows off wonky cosmetics, potentially social mechanics, and crossover ships. After that there will be another "regular" expedition that focusses on whatever new gameplay elements come with the new update.

So, if a regular one goes into a variable two month timeframe, and the 5 year anniversary is in exactly two months from now (August 9th), and we assume they keep switching between "short" and "regular", shouldn't a regular-sized expedition start literally any day now?

The first long expedition sort off focussed on gameplay basics, so I would assume that the next big one would go focus on more advanced gameplay elements, such as crafting (Milestone: Craft a Stasis Device), Resource Mining, and the like or features they have added for some time (like: Scrap Ships at the Station for X total value). I'm sure there is enough potential to keep people busy until the big summer event.

So... where is it then? In theory it should start any day now, but I see not much tbh...

Where is expeditions tab? [Question]

I just started playing a few days ago so please forgive me if this is a dumb question. I saw online that there was a golden vector ship part of an expedition you could earn. But in all the YouTube videos they have an expedition tab in their pause menu but I don’t. Where do I get it?

Made significant progress in early game with friends but now cannot load save game in Multiplayer [Question]

I joined one of my friends previously created games, I made a decent amount of progress, enough to where I would not be a big fan of restarting from square one. When I left the game to get off for the night, I made sure to enter my ship and leave it to make sure the game saved. The next day, when I attempted to join the game, it would load into a completely fresh save file, and none of my progress would be there. I saw that the game had saved into single player, so I joined that single player save and noticed that I could not join my friends game at all from that save. Also, when I try to join my friends game, the option to select a save file shows up, and the file is Grayed out and I am unable to select it. I am playing on Xbox one, the same problem is happening with another friend who is also playing on my friends world. The game is great single player don’t get me wrong, but I want to be able to play with my friends on my file without having to restart every single time. If anyone can help at all, I would greatly appreciate it.

If hello games wont help maybe one of you can [Question]

hi I have been playing no mans sky for a while (I have 140 hours) and I decided to go back in. I started a new game and played fine with a friend for a while when suddenly it crashed I thought nothing of it and went to bed the next day I played fine no crashes but then today I wanted to go play but when ever I loaded in it would crash almost every time I got into or out of my star ship. thanks in advance.

A ship I discovered and claimed after locating a distress signal disappeared. What happened? [Question]

I can still see the dead grass in the shape of the ship where it was laying on the floor. It left it's mark. This ship was a frigate I think and it had a lot of problems. It was crashed. I fixed the engine and thrusters before going of to get more material to repair the rest. I only just started playing and I didn't even build a base yet. I left a save beacon so I can return and when I did it was gone.

Any ideas? It looks like it got stolen-not sure If that is even a thing in this game.

Thanks

Curious.. [Question]

How discovered are the other galaxies? If I warp around for several hundred hours in a galaxy other than Euclid how many player discovered systems will I run into I wonder.. Pretty crazy how near the end of Beachhead when I branched out of expedition path how many star systems I warped to had already been named. If they ever made a second No Man's Sky and I hope they do Sean Murray will birth many new galaxies I hope!!

So I’m confused. Am I missing something? [Question]

Currently trying to do the quest “alone amidst the stars”. I’m stuck on “investigate the space anomaly” objective. I’ve spoken to nada and polo and I’ve done the objective in “the space anomaly” quest and the current objective is “continue the search for Artemis” which requires me to follow the “alone amidst the stars” quest.

I’ve only just gotten to the point where I summon the space anomaly but I was thinking about reading the lore. I’m still relatively clueless as to who I am and what’s going on.

Where can I find the soundtrack outside of the game? [Question]

I’ve just decided to hunker down and play the game for a longer time, as I used to keep restarting after updates as a habit and never really having an extended playthrough. But one thing I’ve noticed is the music.

I’ve noticed a few piano pieces, rock and sort of ‘glitchy’ tracks. I love listening to game soundtracks and this is one I’d like to listen to outside of the game. But the only soundtrack I Can find is the original one from 2016, and there’s bound to be more songs added since then, right?

If so, where else can I find the soundtrack?

I am a little bit disappointed [Discussion]

I was really thrilled when the expeditions mode was introduced. This is exactly the kind of stuff I like: Having special tasks to fullfill in a limited amount of time that, when you succeed, give you unique rewards you can use in game. And I really enjoyed the first two expeditions.

But I am a bit disappointed that there has been no new expedition so far yet and that expedition mode is halted. And I think it really is just lazy to stop a whole gamemode you just recently introduced. Instead of putting the whole community on a wait for multiple weeks, just give us a short expedition for this time. It does not need to be a vital part of the games lore or give us some crazy superloot. Just let us collect some stormcrystals, learn some Gek-Words and fully scan the Fauna of some planets and give us a golden coffee-mug decoration for it and everything is fine. But dont be lazy and stop your whole new gamemode many people enjoy.

How fast can you make your ship go? [Discussion]

I've been playing around with Pulse Engine mods, mainly trying to boost the speed of my ship rather than the maneuverability, and was wondering how far you could take it? My test-ship currently has a max planetary surface speed of ~2,111 u/s and an interplanetary speed of ~26,160 u/s - which is plenty fast, haha. But has anyone taken it further? :D

Also, did they change the general speed of ships in the recent update? I don't remember seeing anything in the patch notes, but my numbers are much higher all of a sudden, and the ship feels faster.

Zoom!

Power? power grid not overloaded. [Question]

I’ve checked the grid three times, I’m using 1/3 of my total power. My base is pretty high up and any power line connected to things inside are red.

Help! Can't Find Ship! [Question]

Help! I was trying to find salvaged data, and my strategy for this is to fly and then land far away from my base, and spawn my exocraft to drive around looking for buried technology modules. Then when I'm finished, I summon my ship and fly back to my base. The only problem with this is that I'm on a cold planet, and exocrafts don't give me hazard protection, so once it starts getting low, I summon my ship and recharge my hazard protection. Just recently, I was about to do this, but my ship was out of launch fuel, and in desperation I summoned one of my other ships instead of driving back to my normal ship. Later once I was finished, I tried to re-summon my ship, but I can't because there is no launch fuel. The ship isn't in my freighter, and I would never be able to find it because it isn't marked with the beacon. Is there anything I can do?

Permanent Map Markers for a Planet? [Question]

Hi guys, just joined the community, wow what a game, really enjoying it thus far after taking the plunge of buying it after hearing it’s much better after launch and the developers are still putting a massive amount of effort in, 40+ hours in and I haven’t looked back!

Anyway my query…. Is there a way to mark things on a map so you can find them again, for example a ruined spacecraft you want to repair when you have the resources, a local trader, an interesting spot, things like that??

I know you can put a beacon down but as far as I can tell you can only have one at a time and when you load back into a game it will be gone.

So just wondering if there is anyway to add permanent markers somehow or any workarounds for it?

I found a crashed spacecraft which I did manage to repair so I could at least fly it but it took quite a while, it would have been nice to have done it a bit more gradually, because as far as I can tell you can’t summon a spacecraft that isn’t working or doesn’t have fuel.

Following the same sort of logic I’ve just unlocked the mineral extractor and will be looking for a location to set up a farm, but how do you go about finding them again, do you all simply just put up a base marker? (That’s the simplest way I can think of)

Anyway thanks, look forward to hearing suggestions.

could anyone take me to Eissentam? [Question]

hey! months ago I rejected the offer given to me in the New Beginnings quest, so if I wanted to get to Eissentam I'd have to travel through 10 galaxies (at least I think? unless there is an easier way to do this that I am unaware of). I'd be glad if someone who's got access to Eissentam adds me on Steam and let me join. If this isn't the right community to look for that, please redirect me.

thanks in advance :)

Trader Search. Looking for somebody who would sell an Exosuit Expansion Modul. [Question]

Hi Travelers! I messed up something with my expedition saves and lost my exosuit expansion moduls. I want to fill up my catalog. It would be fantastic if somebody would trade me one module. Will pay 312 Mio Units in Stasis Devices or Fusion Ignitures. I would prefer a meeting in the nexus. Playing on ps4 but could switch to crossplatform for the trade. I don't want to wait till the next expedition will start.....:-) Thanks in advance!

How to fit a lot of upgrades [Question]

I saw people online with almost 10 of one upgrade in one part (as in tech and ship/exosuit). They did it with s classes and x classes, and so I thought I could do the same, and x classes didn't cause any overlapping no matter how many you put. I was wrong. Thousands of tainted metal got wasted it seems. Does anyone know any way to stack a lot of upgrades into one storage part? It doesn't matter if it a glitch I just need a way.

home strategy [Question]

I've got a home I've been building up and doing the side missions on getting the armourer and farmer etc. and I've sort of got myself in a bit of a rut. I have storage containers in my home and they are all full!

Do people put storage containers on their freighters? I want to start branching out into the galaxy but I keep on needing to warp back to the same planet.

Do others simply create a new base and warp point on a new planet to anchor then keep everything on the freighter??

Just not sure what my strategy should be here? Feel I'm missing out on a lot of the universe....

Battery not working, wire issue? [Question]

Howdy

For some reason my wires and or battery’s are not working. Whenever I try and connect then they get no charge and it’s always a red wire, never a blue wire. I’ve tried everything I can to fix it but I don’t know what is wrong exactly.

My only thought is that they are crossing over two basses as the battery’s are at one base but the power source is at another (the bases overlap.) But I don’t think this can be an issue as I’ve done this exact same thing before with no issue.

Can anyone help me out?

Some ideas for enriching the space aspect of this game [Suggestion]

Perhaps I'm in the minority given that NMS has drawn and retained its base-building, planet tourism fans, but I would really like HG to beef up the actual space part of its game. Not do a massive physics rewrite to introduce realism, not just add more pulse encounters, but take steps to make space feel less fake. The space tourism theme can be expanded without massive reworking.

Examples:

  1. Remove the infinite, endless asteroids. Make asteroid belts rarer and more appealing. Yes, the resource systems involving them would need to change. There are many good, practical solutions that fans have proposed for years.

  2. Don't even bother with orbital mechanics (obviously), just introduce zero g when beyond atmospheres unless "gravity boots" are activated, or whatever. Let us spacewalk between frigates if we want to. Let us RP float.

  3. Make stars visitable, but you have to warp to them or whatever. Implement an invisible wall where your ship automatically turns away when too close if you have to. There could be beautiful visual effects and interesting things close to stars.

  4. Gas giants. Make them unvisitable if you have to, I don't care. Just have them for pretty sky for moon bases. Swirly gases, system-dominating behemoths. Unexplored systems only at this point.

  5. Consolidate NPC freighter/frigate activity to certain designated locations in systems. Space feels ridiculously overcrowded with constant giant ship traffic. Similar to the infinite asteroid problem.

  6. More celestial objects to warp to. Not every system has to be a basic star with planets. Have rare / special objects or phenomena like neutron stars, supermassive black holes, red giants, etc. Not everything has to have planets, just a means to warp away. Perhaps special resources or whatever can be found at these locations. Unexplored systems only at this point.

Maybe...

Cyclones are unbearable [Discussion]

So I have an indium farm on a toxic planet. I like it's not a standard planet, but lately, the cyclones annoy the hell out of me. To paint a picture, I can walk around for about 3 minutes before an 'Extreme wind event' takes place. These cyclones throw me all over the place for a few minutes before I can start building again. I can literally not do a thing for at least 2 minutes. I just grab my phone (like now) to kill the time. I don't see the point tbh.

I wondered if there is any gear that can help.me against cyclones? If not, I hope this will be added in a future update.

As I do appreciate all the Sean and his team have done to improve the NMS experience I am hoping that we have a planetside exploration update coming soon.

Major Freighter Bug [Bug]

So, here's my problem:

The last Freighter I took control of after saving it from pirates turned out to have a major glitch: I built rooms for a portal, storage and some Fleet Commander rooms. The next time I returned to it, I couldn't access any of these rooms anymore because somehow the freighter's interior has - for a lack of better words - shifted, but the rooms I built stayed in the same place. I can't delete them or build corridors to them and I can't acsess them, because they are blocked by frighter walls that can't be deleted now in exactly those areas I'd need them to be gone. So the rooms I'd built are useless to me now and I also can't take freighter missions since I can't access the Fleet Commander rooms.

Today, I came across another freighter of similar class, so I exchanged it for my old one but to my suprise, the new freighter adopted my old freighter's interior, so now I have a new freighter with the exact same problem(s) as the old one.

Was this included in a newer patch? That, when you obtain a new freighter the game copies the old freighters interior into it so you don't have to build everything again?

Has anyone else had a similar problem, and if so, did you find a solution?

Giant worm behaiver. [Discussion]

So i started a survival save after finishing the game on normal, its been a blast sofar. Strangly it looks like it affects more than just dmg stats. I started on a exteeemly hot world and everything including animals tried to kill me. (Haven't experianced that on normal) to top it off the giant worm was there aswell. I warped to the next system and found that almost all planets have friendly fauna. I was 2 (irl)days into building my base and scanned all fauna there was, when suddely the ground started shaking and the worm appeared. Shocked and happy to see it. Now the funny thing is. When i explore this world i see a giant groove/dent/semi-tunnel go all around the world. I decided to follow it cause it seemed off compaired to the rest of the planet, the worm will constantly popup where this groove is. So if you see a groove on your planet theire might be acctually the tracks of the giant worm. Even if you scanned all fauna it still might be there as that is the case for me. Altough it might be that it will appear more in survival. My base is near the groove so i can see it often follow its own tracks.

Might be fun to know for others so i posted this. Peace.

Automatic Feeder no longer working? [Question]

I recently moved base locations to another planet. On the first base, I had a feeder and milker set up perfectly, worked as intended. On the new base, I've set it up the same, but nothing is coming to my feeder. The fauna aren't getting the little question mark above their heads or anything. There are always animals around in my immediate area too, and I'm wondering what the issue could be, if anyone has an idea or advice. Do some fauna not respond to it? It's mostly beetles near me, but I can feed them manually without issue and harvest from them. Do I need to reload maybe?

Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions!

Any way to measure fauna run speed? [Discussion]

Different kinds of fauna have different run speeds. Some run faster than others, and sometimes size matters too. Once they hit a certain size, they actually seem to slow down. I have a Taun-Taun-ish fauna I've been breeding. He was nimble as a juvenile, but once he hit adulthood he slowed down and made the footstep crunch sound fx when he trotted.

Minecraft has some red stone builds where they're able to measure horse speed. Has anyone experimented with anything similar in No Man's? Would be neat to see a repeatable measurable standard.

Help Needed with Living Ship [Question]

Hey! Anyone willing to help a fellow traveler out? I need someone to help me with glitching my living ship so that I can increase the storage. The player needs to:

Join my party and arrive at the same space station. Summon their freighter and buy a ship at the space station. Exit the space station with their old ship and land on their freighter. That's about it.

I'm on PS5. As a reward, I can point you to two special space stations. One has a first wave spawn needle nose white and gold exotic, the other has a green squid. The squid is not a first wave spawn, but it's typically spawned fast.

My PSN is Angellicus. Thanks!

Immediate Treasures mission question [Question]

So I need to deliver an item. I've got the item in my exosuit inventory, and the mission is selected in my Log. On-screen guidance says the client has provided coordinates to a secure depot. When I fly to the "package" icon on the map for the mission location, it's a large trading outpost, but the actual location of the icon is on the ground BELOW the outpost, and there's nothing there. And when I go to the trade terminal or talk to anybody at the outpost, I just get the regular prompts (buy/sell screen for the trade terminal, help with language from npc's).

So what am I supposed to do? Do I just sell the item at the terminal? That can't be it, right? I gotta be missing something.

Ship Trading Bug? June 2021 [Question]

Jumped into my new hardcore game I started the other night and decided to trade out my ship for a new one. I saw a pilot walking around my old ship that I had just traded in so I talked to them and checked how much my old ship would have cost to buy back. There was an option to claim it for free.

This a known bug? Can anyone else confirm?

Update Creative Mode to be Custom Mode [Suggestion]

Similar to generating custom worlds in Don't Starve or Minecraft, Custom Mode would expose various universe generation parameters to adjust to generate one's own personal universe in No Man's Sky. The parameters might be divided up between a few presets, basic options for a quick custom universe generation, and advanced options, that enable you to drill way down into various details of the universe generation.

The default preset might simply be Creative, with other options for Normal/Survival/Permadeath, allowing you to quickly adopt their settings and then adjust as desired, to avoid having to recreate them from memory and customize.

A few basic options might be, for instance, enabling godmode and infinite units/nanites/resources (as drawn from Creative Mode's current setup), but these could be disabled so that one could take on risks and/or have to earn their way in their universe.

A few advanced options, for instance, would perhaps be star frequency, e.g. yellow/red/green/blue, biome frequency as relates to these stars, system type frequency (e.g. inhabited/abandoned/uncharted), and so on.

Due to their custom nature, these universes either would not be multiplayer whatsoever, or would only be multiplayer if one shared the universe seed which one may have either created themselves or had generated from their parameter adjustments, or however that might need to work to enable Custom Mode multiplayer. In any event, such a Custom Mode would finally deliver on the back of the box claim that your universe awaits.

I just got this game a few days ago and it was only 11gb, and now its downloading a 3.6gb update? According to the website its only a small patch so why is it so big? Just steam being messy?

Sentinel freighter marked as the freighter to enter after a battle. [Bug]

So I’d been farming salvage modules off of other freighters as the system I’m in is heavily populated by them right now, and they’re all pretty close together. I got bored and decided to kill the waves of sentinels that spawn in till I got to level 5. I saw the freighter warp in, said oh that’s cool, and flew into the space station to drop the heat again. I came back out and started to look at it as it didn’t despawn when I went into the station. After about 2 minutes a freighter battle starts on the sentinel controlled freighter. It totally destroyed the 8 ships coming after it, no thanks to me, it took about 15 seconds. After I get a hailing signal from the sentinel controlled ship to collect a reward. There is no way inside the ship though. I set the mission as the waypoint and it tells me that’s the ship; even stranger it was a vykeen captain.
