Can't do weekend event [Question]

Every time I land on the marked planet for the weekend event for the 1200 quicksilver, I crash. I've turned multiplayer off, tried going to a different planet in the system, you name it. Every time I land in the system on any planet (OH! and the space station) as soon as I get out, I crash. Any one have any idea how to fix this?

No Mans Sky 2 [Suggestion]

Anyone think that NMS should release the next huge update as an actual sequel to the game? Obviously the update would have to be big enough, add a bunch of new story, maybe a new universe or something… but one thing this would do is give the game a huge boost in visibility, reset the score on steam and probably boost the player numbers a huge amount.

Steam still bas NMS as mixed for overall reviews I think and I have to believe that this still deters a huge amount of people from trying. Just imagine if the game was what it looks like today on launch, how popular this game would be.

This is probably gonna be unpopular, but it had me thinking today and was curious what others thought. I doubt they’ll do it this way though. They’re too nice :-)

Fast Travel Ship Placement [Screenshot ]

Fast Travelling to my base....I think it's time we had a 'park my ship here' device that only shows in build mode. Just a marker we can put on the ground or a rooftop or even a wooden platform so your build doesn't look stupid with your ship hanging in the air by the part of it that's sticking through your walls. Or you know, with it coming right out the portal behind you.

Does my Travelers Insurance cover this?

Ship came through the portal too

got No Mans Sky randomly on the game pass for free a week back: played with friends and fell in love with this game. decided to actually go and buy the game for the full price even though it was free. hopefully it supports the game in some capacity

thank you Hello Games for making this game! love it

Galaxy Map Confusion [Question]

Can someone please explain what the bold white line leading from my home system to the Hornby system means?

Strangely enough, when I do a Nexus mission I'm sent to the Hornby system 90% of the time. It's getting very old.

Thank you.

Supply depot problem [Question]

Over the past few days I’ve been working on a few different facilities dedicated to the production of the materials I need for superconductors. It’s an experimental method of money-making that I’ve been working on and I wanted to see if it would net more money than an Activated Indium farm. Unfortunately, my supply depots on all three facilities seem to cap out at 6k of each material total. I tried adjusting the placement of the supply tubes and that didn’t seem to work, I added more Depots and that didn’t seem to work either. Some depots simply just remain empty while others get maxed out. Any solutions to this? I’m very confused as to what could be going wrong.

Playstation save/game crashing every 20-40 minutes? [Bug]

Hi all,

Anyone else on Playstation having issues with thier game crashing every 20 to 40 minutes today? Been all fine till this morning, now the game dies every so often.... I seen only one more person having similar problem today, are we alone?

Bit annoying as I already lost a random encounter with a black market module trader today :/

Getting quicksilver is tough [Question]

Especially when for some reason my nexus is always empty, and I can’t access the weekend missions. Anyone have any idea how to fix this? I’ve restarted my game, console, internet (even though my internet is amazing) and have swapped on and off the multiplayer function in this game.

This is such a shame Please read [Discussion]

I love this game. This game has meant a lot to me. What ruins it, however, is what just happened to me today. Big guys running big groups like to step on us little guys. Today a certain large fish, who will remain nameless, threatened to hack me. I haven’t done anything or hurt anyone. All i’ve done is speak this message: big leaders should be held accountable for stomping on little guys. But still, a player invades my discord, threatens my squad, and claims that I will be hacked by his guys. What type of community is this? Why does nobody hold these guys accountable? I get role playing, that’s fun and I love that, but there’s a line that you shouldn’t cross. And that line is crossed all of the time. Little players get shit on constantly, and for some reason, this community lets them. Why is that? Cause they moderate a subreddit or are the admin of a discord server? That’s why they are allowed to swing their dicks around and hurt whoever they want? I’m sick of that. We need to hold bad, toxic players accountable, whether they run a group or not. If you truly love this game, then you will keep it clean of toxicity by holding bad people accountable.

Anyone who’s been threatened or actually hacked by the these guys, which happens a lot, knows what I mean. I guess I just don’t understand why we don’t stand together to combat this. This isn’t a COD lobby, this is NMS. We should be supportive and helpful, not hateful and cruel. If anyone’s still reading, sorry for ranting. Hopefully this community will truly hear this message and take it to heart.

Anomaly issues? Not seen anyone in any game mode [Question]

Started happening yesterday. Was thinking it was my network but everything's running just fine. No issues anywhere. But after cycling through game saves on normal, survival and permadeath I am unable to find anyone in the anomaly.

Online Discovery services are available and I can join others in multiplayer. They can join me as well.

Yet the anomaly is empty. Even when I quick save and restart the game no one shows up.

Anyone else having this problem?

Potential fix for stuttering and visual glitches [Discussion]

Stuttering:

windows start button>settings>system>about>advanced system settings(at the right of the screen)>performance settings>advanced>adjust for best performance of: background services>apply and ok

Credits to Roverton (Steam discussions) for this solution.

Visual glitches:

For me it got solved by clearing disk space, I used to have persistent visual glitches before.

If you got a black screen (the one before loading screen with stars) flickering, quit the game by Alt+F4 and try again.

[Planet Request] Black & White Monochrome Swamp Planet [Question]

Hey all, one planet type that I've been hunting for in vain for the last ~100 hours of playtime is one a real monochrome planet with the giant dead trees and general "marshy" terrain seen in certain "humid" or "cloudy" planets.

How many galaxies has everyone been to? [Question]

I just entered my 4th. Went to it the old fashioned way--through the center of the previous galaxy--and totally forgot that damages your tech. What a pain THAT was.

Should I discontinue a quest or not? [Question]

I’m doing the Civilized Space quest and I’m on a newer account so what it needs is harder to get. I haven’t played this game in a couple of years so what happens if I discontinue the quest or not? I want to keep doing it but there is other things I want to do too.

My underground base finally filled in. (Ps4) [Question]

Ive had the same underground base since 2018. Had built it in a crater on the top of a mountain on a beautiful planet that i was very happy with. Had great views, secret tunnels, and space for everything including all 9 storage containers. I knew this was a ticking time bomb, and was honestly suprised the terrain had never regenerated. Well the game updated a few days ago and now every time i leave my planet it regenerates. Im wondering if any of you folks have a trick to fix this or what my best options are for moving my base easily without losing things or doing a bunch of extra work. Any help would be appreciated! Im sad to be departing my beautful home, but Im not interested in mining my way through it every time i have to fly away and come back. Thanks!

A Project Amongst The Stars [Discussion/Idea]

Hello there.

I just posted here a bit ago but I am going to say again, I'm kinda new... again. I've been here, and I've played NMS, but I am getting back into the swing of things after leaving NMS somewhere at the beginning of 2020 (I checked my saves from back then and the latest one was from April 2020, so, I left just as crap was hitting the fan IRL basically.) But I have been playing with Expeditions, and then Prisms just a few days after, and I think I can play this now without waiting necessarily for Multiverse, which has been at the top of my list.

But that's not the point of me being here right now. I'm here now because I want to share a project that I worked on, in a little over 8 hours, most of it extremely caffeine-fueled to be honest (I am autistic and have ADHD, so that stuff is like crack, so a Nitro Cold Brew with three Espresso Shots can really get me going, that's why I drink them) and I want to share why I created it, and some tidbits about it.

As a forewarning, the project is a PDF in a Google Drive. The link is at the bottom of the post. The link is completely safe, it goes directly to the PDF, and it does nothing but let you view it, and as far as I know, copy it. It does not have access to my drive or anything. But the page is so big, even on my nice monitor, it would take many screenshots to put it all up, so I decided to do this instead.

So, what is this project? Well, to start, let's start with the context.

The idea for this project came from a convergence of two events on my Steam game of NMS. The first to actually happen was that I decided that I was bored at one point a few days ago with my Normal save that I had built and decided to start another. This wouldn't be out of the ordinary; you get 5 saves, and if there were more, I'd have tons of saves. But the first event was what happened when this new game started: for...

Let's talk about bases for a second. [Discussion]

I fucking love this game, it's hands down one of the best games I've ever played and adding the Normandy from mass effect Was fucking awesome since that franchise is my favourite of all time.

But something that keeps bugging me about this game, is the redundancy of planet side bases, other than farms or project builds, there really is no reason to have a planetary base and that bugs the living shit out of me.

I know this game is all about being a bit of a nomad and traveling endlessly and exploring but I'd love for there to be some kind of mechanic introduced that adds some kind of necessity to build a base on a planet, something that can't be done else where.

I always find myself in the predicament of, "This planet/moon is awesome, I'm gonna build here....wait a sec what am I supposed to build?" There's no purpose that a base serves other than a farm and it kills me a little inside everytime I see they release a new update and they haven't touched base building or the build mechanics and as much as I hate to say this, the game finally feels like it's a dead end for me.

I've reached max cash, I have my dream capital ship, every ship I could want and I did it all without the help of the NMS Coords exchange since I had no idea it existed until well after I had basically "finished" the game.

I'm just kind of at a loss. Anyone else got any tips, ideas or suggestions?

Good ways to make money? [Question]

Hello, iam fairly new to NMS and started to looking for good way to make money. I've seen many videos about activated indium farm but they're all from ~1year ago and I've seen comments that it has been nerfed. Is it still working good enough to consider building it? If not any other ideas? I would rather create something with passive income but I am open for everything as long as it's actually worth it. Also would appreciate any links to guides since i might still not getting some terminology xD Thanks in advance!

A Rare Collection Of Ships [just something interesting]

https://preview.redd.it/wuw77dd1k3571.jpg?width=1920&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9df53664e1a8b49026c0781660f1f242bc94de85

The Rasamama S36 is the ship from no man's sky release - 1.3 atlas rises

the Alpha vector is the ship that comes with the special edition of the ps4 version of the game. it's not an in-game reward but a small model ship in real life that you can put up.

https://preview.redd.it/cuuzkv37o3571.png?width=292&format=png&auto=webp&s=a4d98203d6570fa58abe307f62de322fae3305ce

the Golden vector is similar to the Alpha vector but it's completely gold. You could only get it through the first expedition.

The Domanish S84 is the ship you get from pre-ordering the game on ps4. it used to be a blue colour instead of green but an update has changed that (not too sure which one it was).

the Horizon omega is the ship you get for pre-ordering the game on pc. instead of red, the colour used to be purple-ish. had the same treatment as the ps4 one.

Building base parts underground to reduce rendering load? [Question]

I know this question was asked a few weeks ago, but I can't find it in searches... I have failed. :)

If I have a mineral+gas farm with a boat-load of storage depots, would building them underground and then filling in the hole, make any difference on loading performance for anyone visiting the base?

I know some builders mention a gentleman's agreement of not building closer than 20 minutes walking distance away from another base so the game won't try to load both bases at the same time and induce lag. I'm wondering if burying stuff that doesn't need to be seen will have any effect.

Alone amongst the stars help possible spoilers [Question]

Returning player here. Haven’t played sense launch. I’m having difficulty with the triangulate position step of “alone amongst the stars”. It keeps telling me my mission objective is outside the system but when I consult the portal or galaxy map, I can’t see it. I tried following the path it gave me but once I reached the end of the green line In the galaxy map, it just kept going. I tried resetting the quest and that gave me the first location in current star system but then goes right back to sending me across the galaxy for the second. Is this a bug or is my mission objective lost in deep space? Playing on PS4 btw.

Save Game Files (PC) - I Am Perplexed and I Don't Understand [Question]

Hi Guys,

I am in a bit of a panic mode. To make a long story short, a Windows 10 update nearly destroyed my computer, crippled it to the point where nothing worked, not even system recover work. I basically had to format the primary drive using command prompt and then reinstalling windows using a USB. Basically, I went thru hell and back for nearly 3 days with barely no sleep.

Anyhow, I am very confused and I don't understand what's going on. First, I have Steam Cloud sync on. Secondly, last year around September of 2020, I changed my Steam location so my game files and games can be saved and installed instead on my C drive but onto my 1TB D drive, which is my 2nd hard drive that came with my PC. When I downloaded No Man's Sky again just last night and logged in, the file that loaded up was the file from September 2020. Why didn't Steam Cloud sync the file from there on? I don't get it.

Here is the very, very strange part that just gets me the most. I have a recovery software and it allowed me to see every single file from my formatted drives (both C drive and D drive). I am looking inside the HelloGames file (username, app data) where save files are usually located and it SHOWS the same September 2020 file from the Steam Cloud. Prior to my pc crashing, it's like as if No Man Sky saved my game files (I play it everyday) yet didn't save the file on my system at the same time. My latest file saved SHOULD'VE BEEN THERE and not the September 2020 file. So, basically all this before my pc crashed on me, my games weren't being saved? But how was I able to play and logout everyday then?

I need some major assistance. I know the file is somewhere. I have my recovery app open. Anything helps.

Underground Animals [Question]

I’ve been trying to find underground animals but I can’t seem to find any are there any tips or tricks to finding them or is it just a bug

#

I got a neighbour!! [Screenshot]

Been out doing traveller stuff, in a great mood as I bagged myself a sweet freighter earlier this evening. And went to teleport home and another base came up as an option! Someone else has moved into my planet! :) I never thought I'd get anyone out here as my little overgrown planet is way out on the edge of Euclid.

I usually play multiplayer off, but I switched on and beamed in. Sadly no one around and judging by how simple the place is, it's either a new starter or a recent arrival as not much kit around.

So, if you're on here, welcome to Niahmn 'MortalCow958372'!! Feel free to visit Barrie Station anytime! :)

I s it just me or is Fauna kind a bad [Question]

Now I am a new player only visited like a docent systems or so in my 30 hours of play this is because I try to get all the fauna on all the planets and normally I can find all the fauna except for underground, even underwater is a cake walk compared to underground if you know how but I can go 2 hours on a planet and not find a common underground fauna. Is there a trick to it? On some planets the hardest part seams to find a cave that is deep enough for anything to spawn. Or maybe I am just stupid and I am doing something obviously wrong but to me at least it seams that hello games has to rework the spawning mechanics. Maybe gives us something that lets them spawn more often or something so we can create artificial caves? For me at least as it currently stands it takes to much time.

Better/Exotic Ships [Question]

So I’m sorta new to this game but I do have some pretty decent experience with everything, except ships. How exactly do you find better ships?

Empty anomaly [Bug]

My multiplayer seems to be working alright, all my settings are in order, my game is up to date, tried even downloading the game on another playstation, but my anomaly remains empty.

So, what glitch killed YOU in Permadeath? [Discussion]

About 30 hours in before I clipped through a planet's surface while walking along and just.... plummeted to my death (fall damage when it snapped me back to the surface).

This mode is more rewarding to me but I'll be avoiding it until there's some workarounds for these instant deaths by glitch.

What's your experience? Hopefully at least some of these prove to be cringe entertainment...

So i tried the econmy crash [Discussion]

I am new to the game, played maybe 22hours as of now.

I saw some videos on how to get money fast. Many suggested the economy crash as a good way to make money fast. They also said it does only effect the econmy for a couple of hours.

My experience is that it does have a longer effect.

For example : as soon as i managed to have like 10million units, i bought all oxygen and cobald i could find.

I produced as much ionised cobald as possible. I ended up with like 20k ionised cobald.

I went to systems where ionised cobald is sold by the spacestations. I sold it. I bought it back. Went to the next system.

Over and over again. Always selling for like 400 per unit and buying back for like 100 per unit

I am currently sitting on around 300.000 ionised cobald in my inventory. Made like 700.000.000 units so far in profit.

But i realized that the effect is quite long lasting, for example the systems i sold/ bought the massive amounts are still effected with low ionised cobald supply and low prices for both buy and sell and i started like 3 days ago with the big numbers.

I know i am not really hurting anybody but i find it strange that it lasts for days even though everybody says its a matter of hours.

I also think there is a connection between my playtime and restocking supply, am i right?

Base builder challenge [Build]

So I’m sending a call out to all base builders. Love the game and have been trolling this sub a lot. Would anyone be interested in building some Star Trek ships.

Requesting clarification on how to get a specific Living Ship [Question]

To preface, I'm still somewhat new to NMS, want to make sure I get this right before going into it.

In a couple days I'll be able to finish my first living ship, I've found one on the coordinate exchange I like the look of but after looking up the ways living ships spawn.. well, to be frank I've only gotten more confused with each answer I find. Several different methods for several different situations and I don't understand any of them particularly well.

From what I understand I get the coordinates to a place, go to place, collect souls, and then after crafting the final piece, getting in my ship spawns the living ship somewhere in the system and that becomes the quest ship.

So what exactly should I be doing? Do I not go into my ship, jump through the portal to the ship I want and then get in? Get in then go through portal? I've read about having to reset the quest as well. Then there's save scumming to get decent stats. On that subject, I'm planning for this to be my primary, if not only ship for the rest of the game. Would this mean going for an S right off the bat is necessary? Or would I be able to upgrade something even as low as a C to S stats and slots eventually? Completely fine with that.

Assistance appreciated; just trying to make sure I get this right.

#

Multi tool upgrade advice? (25 hrs in) [Question]

I still have the class C starter tool with 6 slots. Obviously I am dying for slots.

The best replacement I have seen so far is a rifle-style unit, also class C, with 19 slots. It’s 1.8M units. I can afford it, but I would have to sell half of my Salvaged Data to pay for it. I’m not currently feeling crunched for Salvaged Data though as I have enough basic base plans to get by.

Is that a reasonable expenditure at this point or is there a better way to get a new multi tool? Upgrading it is my top priority currently. Lack of certain upgrades is blocking some endeavors.

#

Hasn't HG or Sean adressed the empty Anomaly? Personally it's really annoying [Question]

I know that it has been posted numerous times so at least it's a sigh of relief that I'm not the only one with this problem. But hasn't Hello Games said anything about the empty Anomaly? I've triple checked... I have multiplayer on... And I'm sure people are reporting this on the Zendesk, but I'm honestly really surprised this hasn't been patched yet or even at least adressed given the amount of people that are having this issue...

P.S. seeing it empty also gives you a bit of sense on how lonely you can be in the game

Yes, the Anomaly/Nexus is empty. No, it's not just you. [Bug]

For those wondering about the Anomaly being empty, yes, there's some issue causing that. It's not just you it's everyone and we'll all just need to wait until it's fixed.

Can a mod please pin this? There have been so many posts over the past couple of days about this it's getting to be a bit much with a new post every few hours. Seems it's easier for people to just make a new post than run a search that shows this is a common current issue. Thanks!

As of 4:44pm Pacific time, June 13 we have: Anomaly Empty after using a mod (note: it's just empty, not because of the mod) Anomalie No players on the Anomaly or anywhere? So uhhh. nobody was at the anomaly, nothing but empty parking spots. Anyone else stuck in an entirely empty Space Anomaly? No one is showing up in the nexus. No one in the Anomaly No players in the nexus or anywhere else Empty Anomaly? Empty anomaly...

Cannot repair/upgrade Multi-Tool [Bug]

Title.

Anytime I try to repair or upgrade my multi-tool, it completes but upon attempting another repair or upgrade, the previous tech is damaged or not installed, deleting said components. I was able to fix it slightly by using the tech I had repaired but when it comes to upgrades to tech, it does not work.

Please tell me there's a fix cause I have some very nice S-class upgrades for this.

Star ship changed after game re log [Bug]

I got a new starship and I was using it for hours and made serval saves with it so there would be no reason for this to happen. Me and friend always play together and nobody has been showing up in the Nexus so I got saved and exited and we switched hosts to see if there would be ppl if he hosted. When I joined my starship changed to his starship he lost when swapped ships for a broken one on land. I have everything from my other starship just the body changed. I’m not to upset, I just wanted to know if this has happened to anyone else.

Hunting for a void egg. [Question]

I know that you can buy a void egg with quicksilver but I also saw that you can get them randomly on an infected planet. I like to adventure on planets and visit buildings and drive my car all over the planet so I figured I would search an infected planet for a void egg, I did see they are really rare as well. However I dont exactly know how to collect the void eggs or how to hunt for them, do I break subterranean organic structures or do I loot buildings across the planet until I find it? Any info on how to stumble across a void egg would be helpfull.

Mountain I Cleared rebuilding Itself [Bug]

I cleared a whole mountain so I could have a flat area to build my base and after investing some time in my base, the mountain is starting to rebuild itself. Sometimes its a piece, sometimes its half the mountain. Sometimes I can clear it, sometimes it rebuilds as i'm clearing it. It's really aggravating because I don't to have to rebuild my base somewhere else. Is there no way to fix this?

NMS Incompatible Save Error on PC [Bug]

I have a PC with a 10900k and a 3090 with 32 gb of ram.

In an impulse buy I bought an Xbox Series X.

Updated my NMS to the Series X version.

Now when I load up my PC Gamepass version I get an incompatible version and the game won't start

will start fine on Xbox but I usually game more on PC and I miss being able to do 4k 120 with DLSS.

There has never been an issue in the past does anyone know where I can go to restore versions or am I just stuck now playing console version?

Thank you.

Massive lag spikes [Bug]

I got back into playing this game and it runs at about 50-56 fps at most times. Randomly my frames will drop to 6-15fps and lag out the game completely. Marking this as a bug because it doesn't seem like a low specs PC issue.

PS4 Trophy Completion [Question]

Hi all,

Just bought the game on a physical disc. Is it advisable to patch the game immediately for Trophy hunting or better to wait after a certain point? I've heard it's more difficult to 100% on a patched version.

Is it only me or there are some problems with Space Anomaly? [Question]

Couple days ago I spawned the Anomaly and was quite confused not seeing anyone else there. I am alone and there are no players in "nearby" list.

This unfortunate behaviour persisted since then. I filed a bug report since there's no any ruckus about the issue here, so I presume the problem is not massive.

Were any of you in such situation?

If you were, what helped you - if at all - to resolve it?

Alright so hear me out... [Suggestion]

Somehow Sean gives the Atlas enough AI to control the sentinels to progressively find ways to try and stop the traveller as we progress through the galaxy to the point where the Atlas starts to send fleets of sentinels to our hub systems where alot of players gather and bombard our planets and bases leaving us to have to defeat the sentinels and push them out of our systems, systems that aren't highly populated a solo player may just have to leave because the attacks are just too much... Or maybe our traveller decides to a last stand and fight sentinel mother ship freighter to freighter ship to ship, frigate to frigate (player controlled frigates 🧐) player controlled frigates that have payed mercenaries to orbit said frigate in starships to defend their employers.. a hero arises the traveller now builds Dyson lens in their systems generating power to all bases increasing their Nip Nip yield.

Man, what a game. [Discussion]

I mean, it’s just good. It’s good. It’s good to literally take off from a planet and just be in space with no loading and no stutter.

It’s good to do literally whatever you want.

It’d be extra good if I could actually see people in the anomaly, but that’s fine.

What a game.

PS5 sound issues, some sound effects are way louder than others [Question]

Is anybody else having this issue? I got my PS5 yesterday and I’m not sure it’s even limited to this game to be honest.

Some sound effects, such as backpack launchers, and ambient sounds, are really quiet, so I have to turn the tv up to 80 to hear them properly, but then some other sounds are deafeningly loud, shooting an asteroid with the positron ejector almost blew the speakers.

It all seems a bit out of whack, and I can’t find any settings that will fix this.

Sentinel attacks seem a bit underwhelming.. [Discussion]

I'm a new player, with only about 10 hours so far, so still learning how to world of NMS works.

I reached wanted level 5 in space and had a freighter warp in, and thought ooh I could get some cool rewards from this, but when I disabled the defenses and shot down the fighters with my stock Radiant Pillar, all that I had gained was 4 cargo pods and the pugneum, which can both be sourced a lot easier.

Regardless of the reward, I at least expected that their defeat might make them back down but having travelled away slightly another freighter warped in, this time with at least 15 escorts. 25 minutes of bobbing and weaving later, I'd killed them all... to much of the same disappointment.

When it then showed me the words "REINFORCEMENTS INCOMING" I gave up and entered the nearest space station feeling pretty annoyed.

Am I missing something? Or is it really just not worth it to allow sentinels to reach level 5 unless I assume when you're late game and can 1 shot them to farm pugneum?

My Space Anomaly has been empty for the past 2ish days :( [Question]

Hey Travelers.

I have an issue with the Anomaly... For the past 2 days there has been no other players on the Anomaly. I have multiplayer enabled in the options and I have ran into other players in various other systems when hunting for starships and checking out cool locations from NMS Coordinate exchange... so I know multiplayer is working.

It's so bizarre, I made no changes to any settings or anything. It just happened suddenly. One minute it's fine and the next, Anomaly is no longer populated for a couple days now which is a bummer. Any ideas?

I made a base on a beautiful paradise planet with purple grass. but the draw distance ruins the view because the ground under the grass is green so between the max draw distance of grass it goes from purple grass to a weird grey scale to green ground.

Would you like to see more crossovers come to the game? [Discussion]

Im curious on what other people think about this

Suggestions variable size flora and fauna generation [Suggestion]

It would be amazing if there were different flora and fauna sizes generated. For example going to a planet and it has giant flora and fauna; grass so massive it feels like the game "grounded"

Or a planet with tiny fauna and flora.... Finding a species that is normally massive but the size of a small dog..

It would be cool overall to see some variation in sizes between Flora and fauna on other planets.

Gene Splicing created bobble-headed creatures. Are splicing ingredients specific to body parts? [Question]

So, I'm unsure if I've got this down. I saw that antimatter was good for increasing size, and that was my primary goal with two of my companions. So, on one, that's all I used. On the other, I used that and some stuff to alter his color. When I get their eggs and hatch them, they're both the exact same size except for MASSIVE heads! They look absolutely ridiculous, which is both hilarious and sad. Is it possible that different size-increasing ingredients are for different specific parts of the body?

Can't view others players' Bases? Try this FIX. [Xbox] [Information, PSA]

Stumbled across this today.

Somewhere along the lines I had lost the ability to view all bases created by other players. Could not visit AI Farms, could not see any Featured Bases at Anomaly, etc, etc.

Discovered this security setting buried under Xbox Home settings.

settings--> account--> privacy--> game content--> view others creations

I dont remember ever turning this off, so it might've been set as a default during one of the Xbox OS updates earlier this year.

Anyway... turn this setting ON, and voila!

All player bases are visible, Save beacons, too. Also Nexus Featured bases are listed at teleporter, as well as "Nearby" bases at the Space Station; Most importantly: I can now properly Raid everyone's AI Farms!

:p

(worth a try for you Xbox players who have this same issue lately)

PS: This works even with no Xbox Multiplayer account.

It gets a bit cold at night but never of 70 degrees during the day. I stays on the, now name "Planet Bubblezzz", for hours and never had any kind of inclement weather role in.

I know the experimental is loosely assigned A class, and it can't be loosely B class since I've been searching for a lot of minor setlements and not once I've seen a C class experimental and also the probable of me finding an A class is far more than B, so that's good.

So I played for an hour last night .. [Question]

So I got the game on gamepass and played it for an hour last night. I'm at work now and thinking about it ... I dont think that first hour was very fun and im debating if I should play it any more.

I played the "normal" mode (is that what everyone else does?) and I played long enough to repair the ship and go to another planet. I found it rather tedious. Find this, build this, find this, build this. I assume the rest of the game is just this as well? Or does it get better/more interesting within a few hours?

Not coming here to hate the game at all, just seeing if you guys think i should give it another go or if it's just not for me. Is there anything really cool or interesting I have yet to come across or is that basically the whole game?

Cant join friends on Xbone [Information]

So I have the game on both PC and Xbone but PC runs and looks so much better.

Facing a strange issue [Bug]

Hi,

I have been playing No Man's Sky on my xbox for a couple of months now. This issue started 2 days ago. At first I didn't notice it. When I summon the anomaly and dock with it, I see no one but only me. There's no other player in there...it's just me and my ship no matter what time I dock in. I have checked... Multiplayer option is enabled for me. I have tried disabling and enabling it. That didn't solve it. Strange thing though if another player enters a station I'm docked in, I can see him and even trade with him. I can see and interact with other players if they land on the same planet as me. But whenever I enter the anomaly, there's no one else but only me and my ship. I can still continue playing solo but this has kind of ruined the fun for me. It used to be fun trading materials and grouping with people. Anyone else who has faced a similar issue on xbox?

Is it worth getting back in the game after an almost 10 month long hiatus? [Question]

I have been periodically playing this game since day one on ps4. I played troutgh every update until the companions update. I stopped playing because of performamce issues, mostly related to pop-in and bad FPS drops. To me, those issues were kind of immersion breaking and then I decided to completely stop playing the game until I get my hands on a ps5.

So I waited and waited. But, PS5s were sold out extremely quickly so I couldn't get one and I still can't get one.

Also, the game improved dramatically with these several last updates.

So - should I play it now? Is it worth getting back in the game on PS4?

Don't get me wrong, I ADORE this game completely.

How do I access base storage remotely? [Question]

New-ish player here, sorry if I missed a "questions" thread... ?

I've built a nice base with multiple storage units, hoarding raw material for future upgrades...

I do have a freighter...

Also, upgraded drives on my starship so I'm exploring pretty far away from my home planet / base.

Every time I need something, like to repair a frigate or to build an upgrade I discovered, I annoyingly need to go to a space station to teleport to my base just for the sole purpose of grabbing one material, where I then teleport back to previous space station, etc.

I'm getting kind of sick of traveling to my base just to grab a few materials.

Is there any way to access my storage from far?

I apologize, I've googled it and I see some posts about this topic but it appears as though NMS has gone through multiple updates over the years so it is confusing...

TIA!

Question about portals in multiplayer [Question]

Heya fellow travellers,

I've recently gotten a new friend into NMS, and we've tried setting up a portal we found on a planet, but it only seems to activate for one of us. So if I turn it on, it does the whole 'stargate' thing for me, but the blue ocean portal doesn't appear for my friend, but the rings spin as if the portal is on.

Is there something we're missing? I know my friend doesn't have all the glyphs yet, but I've managed to do it with another friend who didn't have all of them before, so perhaps it's something to do with the update?

Theory: The absence of players in the Anomaly is part of the next Expedition [Discussion]

Often when there are major updates it causes issues with the servers that results in problems like multiplayer not working correctly. But not only has there not been a major update that has correlated with the disappearance of being able to see other players onboard the Anomaly, but also most everyone who's experiencing this issue also has a stable and working connection to the servers.

Thus, my theory is that Hello Games has intentionally disabled multiplayer as a plot point of the next Expedition. Especially considering that one would assume the next Expedition is right around the corner considering how quickly they launched the second one after the first... Thoughts?

How to turn off lighting bloom on VR? [Question]

Getting Back In [Question]

Hey All!

I picked up this game when it came out way back when, and subsequently sold it a few weeks later. The primary reason was what I found to be a relatively repetitive process, that was more or less boring.

My question is, I am a new father, with ANOTHER kid on the way.

Can I play my Xbox save on my PC? (and back again)? [Question]

Apologies, I'm new to this game and forum, and I've searched for an answer but still am not 100% sure.

Can I play my Xbox save on my PC? (and back again)?

I believe this is supposed to be possible, based on previous answers, but every time I load up the game on my PC (which is the xbox game pass version), my save from my XSX (game pass) does not show up at all. (only the separate saves I've done on the pc alone)

Funny enough, when I'm attempting to go from the PC to the Xbox, I do see an option when loading up to select which game save from the cloud I would like to sync.

I'm sure there's something I'm doing wrong or am simply not understanding; any assistance here would be greatly appreciated!

Thank You!

How to be a galactic scammer [Information]

I got the game a week ago and its amazing. It has little boundaries, it lets you chose your own path. for example, it lets you get the resources in different ways, some people like getting them from space battles, others from mining.

So... I think I've chosen the scammer way. I just realized that you can get a broken ship, trade it for cheap with a fully repaired ship, find the dude you traded with and get your junk ship for free. Repeat, then scrap.

https://preview.redd.it/fbrc9n84wa571.png?width=1516&format=png&auto=webp&s=aa3dbffb01b538de95b587639dee9b0cf5b35261

In short:

  1. Swap broken ship with good one for cheap, not a huge unit blow.

  2. Find your trash ship and get it for free, no you have 2 ships. Repeat until satisfied and scrap.

  3. ????

  4. Profit

And so He (almost) made a Glass Pyramid ! [Screenshot]

In his dreams he dreamed of glass pyramids. Tall and wide. Pyramids of Glass! The Dreams kept eating at him! So that one day he could stop them No More. And so it' has began!

A spot was chosen!

A foundation was established

And finally the build has started.

But the project proven to be much! Much Silver and Much Silicate (seriously..) was required and so the Pyramid must wait until the next time, waiting unfinished! But it is not the end!

Finding a hotspot [Question]

Is there a trick to finding a particular hotspot?

I wanted to setup a handful of small mineral extraction bases, especially for materials that seem harder to just stumble across. Like if (for example) I need some activated copper for something like fixing a downed ship that I like the look of, I can just teleport to the base real quick and grab what I need and maybe sell the rest for some extra pocket change.

But I've been walking around this planet that supposedly has activated copper for ages, and all I've found is pyrite and sodium hotspots. Is there a trick to this? Perhaps something to increase the likelihood of finding the specific material I want?

I have a weapons research mission to destroy a depot. In the description of the mission it says destroy with multi-tool weapon.

Cant do base computer archives mission [Question]

Poll - Vignette default setting in Photo Mode [Poll]

Since the last patch, the vignette setting in photo mode seems to have become more aggressive at resetting itself after I turn it off. It is my view that the default setting for vignette should be "Off" so that I never need to think about it again.

I would be interested to see any arguments in favour of the current setting; I can't think of any.

What is up with this new blueprint system [Question]

I'm a returning player and it seems like the anomaly was updated quite a bit. You can buy tons of blueprints and stuff like that. Do I just not have to find blueprints at stores anymore or do any of those quests with the nps at the stations in your base anymore. Am I just able to skip all that now and buy the stuff from the anomaly. If so in your opinion do you believe that it feels cheap or overpowered?

Are you guys having these bugs / glitches? [Bug]

Before you ask me if I have submitted bug tickets, yes I have. I just want to know if anyone else is experiencing these bugs on PC after the latest Prisms update.

1 - the audio for the jet lack SFX stops working on planetary surfaces.. it's a silent flight. Every thing else is fine

2 - the recoil on the boltcaster is so ridiculously high it kicks over 90 degrees upwards and your entire file of vision kicks upwards in a drunken blur for like 1-2 second before settling.. basically unusable.

3 - game crashing when pressing E to exit ship inside freighter hangar.

I love the update, love the game and want to have Sean's babies but ... It's very buggy on my end since the release.

#

Idea Thread? [Suggestion]

Is there like an idea thread somewhere in here? Like the bug report thread, maybe we can pin it and have people post their ideas in there. I have some of mine and maybe I’ll start -

  1. Can we not have to go and land on a ship to repair frigates? The first few times it’s actually fun navigating, but after that it gets tedious. Can we like maybe just pay the crew to have them clean up their own mess?

  2. On Frigates - maybe we can have a small space where we can build a few base parts, like Refiners on Industrial frigates, Hydrophonics trays on Science vessels, Crates on Combat ships or Unit exchange / Nanite terminals. More passive income, and maybe have it all controlled on your freighter.

  3. I’d love for us to be able to fly around in space on Freighters, with your fleet flying alongside.

  4. How about storage space for more ships, at least more than 6? I find myself liking a lot of the ship designs, but since I can only have 6, I can’t collect anymore. Maybe not on freighters but maybe a buildable hangar on a base.

  5. Buy Exclusive rights to a planet. Like no one else can build a base there, except you and people you allow to, but other players can mine, harvest resources, etc, just not build a base. Maybe buying a planet costs 1 Billion units or even more (potential money sink).

  6. A smaller exocraft like maybe a hoverbike (where you can see your character riding) or glider would be nice.

  7. A Planet or System wide Threat where multiple players can engage and fight, like a World Boss in MMO’s. Could be a mission in the anomaly, like maybe a Cthulhu like creature rising from the depths or maybe a Sentinel planet, a la Unicron from the transformers.

  8. More moves and weapons on the Minotaur Exocraft. Its big clunky and doesn’t play much differently from the other exocrafts. Giving it melee weapons besides cannons would be interesting. And maybe missiles too,...

Biome Question [Question]

Is there actually a difference between the prefixes used in planet names? For examples, the lush biome can have different prefixes like paradise, rainy, bountiful, verdant, etc. Would these be the same generally speaking or would rainy have more rain, verdant more trees, bountiful more fauna/flora, etc?

Unable to use save file for Multiplayer [Question]

I’ve been playing for about 200 hours and have a fairly decent save file. I convinced my friend to download the game and I helped him start up. I used my main save file to give him the natural resources he needs to have an easier start at the game. We played a few days ago and when I tried to play again with him and tried to load my main save file into the multiplayer, The game displayed “Upgrade Required” over my save file and I cannot play with him unless I start a new profile. Anyone know how to deal with this?

TIL an easier way to respawn your Curious Deposits on Nanite farms [Information]

Use the teleporter... Not to another location and back, just find the nanite farm you’re located at on the list and teleport to it. Several seconds later and you’re back, but you technically never left. The only thing faster than this would probably be short-range teleporters, but they only teleport up to about 200U and I think you need to go at least 500U away to get the farm to respawn.

Give it a try and let me know!!

#

Logic parts [Suggestion]

I've recently tried to do some simple logic gates from the available parts and although a lot can be done, most of them are very big and complicated. It would be so much fun to do some simple "computers" on your base. For example my plan was to make a binary counter that would display the ammount of times I've visited a section of my base. (Yes theoretically possible with current parts, but when a xor gate needs 6 parts it gets way too big way too fast)

#

Suggestion considering the races and politics of the galaxy [Suggestion]

Now this idea is something I’ve had in my head for awhile now, what if all the races of the galaxy in a future update are changed in a way that makes it so the races arnt just randomly sprinkled about galaxy, instead based on what region your in, will depend on what races you’ll find in certain star systems, maybe even make alien empires with randomly generated names, they grow and decay overtime, players are able to directly affect what a systems economy and conflict status is, we’ll be able to learn a bit about the region were in and the empire that controls it. If 2 regions, aka Empires go to war with each-other then a player can involve himself, and might even be able to use his or hers own fleet for the side of one of the empires, and depending on how much you help or who you help, you’ll get reputation from the respective race you helped. Now, this is a massive leap. I know, and I don’t expect something like this to happen, but who knows, this game has come a long way, and I can see this being a good possibility in the game, seeing as they’ve implemented updates that are able to change the entire galaxy, maybe changing the races different locations and such, while would be a bit tricky, is possible for a very far away update, what’d you guys think?

So as long as you have the time and resources, can you upgrade any ship of a type to the same limit as other ships of that type? [Question]

Title. I know the separate ship types now (haulers, explorers, etc), but i’m a little confused about stats. Do some just inherently have better stats then others of their type? Or is it more dependent on their class and such? If I have the time and resources, could I make pretty much any explorer the same effective use as another?

I’m just curious if I should be keeping an eye out for better ships or if I can stick with mine cause I like the way it looks

Stutter when using DLSS at 4K Ultra [Question]

Hey,

Ryzen 5 5600x, 3080FE, 32GB 3200mhz, Samsung 980 pro. Monitor: Asus 4k 60hz

Quite often I'm experiencing hitches with the frame rate, It doesn't drop below causing screen tearing, I'm guessing it's something to do with v sync? It's the only game I have this issue with however. I guess my question is, does anyone know any tips and tricks to get it running smoothly at 4k 60? I've tested to see if it can sustain 60 in the first place and it can go well beyond that, so that's not a worry.

Thanks :o

Having a lot of bugs [Bug]

Heya guys, I was wondering if anyone could maybe shed some insight into some of the issues I've been having trying to play No Mans Sky via the Xbox app on PC. I've done a lot of Google-Fu and the only things I've found are either very old or not quite the bugs I am having. I really want to play and love the game but it's at the point where I think the longer I play the more unstable my game gets and I'm 60 hours in :(

I am just about to get my first organic ship but unfortunately due to how broken the game is I feel like I might not be able to really continue playing. The idea of starting all over again is kinda brutal.

Bug 1: When I got the glyphs, I found some cool places to go and visit. I can't teleport to any of the bases that are in my bookmarks unless I am in the same region of space (system) as those bases. I get like a flashing error when I try (the screen flickers and it won't let me select the bases)

Bug 2: When I exit my starship on a particular space station (one which is good for farming nanites due to the ships there), the game crashes.

Bug 3: I can go to any planet once via a portal, but if I try to teleport back there via any normal method (space station) I get crashes / slowdowns / FPS drops / glitches (e.g. I fall through the world).

Bug 4: I can only visit player bases once, as the second time all of the doors are not useable to me (e.g. the doors don't spawn).

If I could fix any one of these issues, or try suggestions I'd be super happy. I've reinstalled the game, I play with multiplayer off, I have a very powerful PC but for some reason the game seems to sometimes slowdown to the point where I have to quit and reload. My partner is not having any of these problems on his similar machine, so this is just super odd to me.

Because I am on the Xbox pass version of the game I can't use a save editor to try and reset things / clear my visited worlds or reset...

Question about living ships/void eggs [Question]

I was recently given a void egg by another player at the anomaly, and after doing some searching around the clearest answer I have gotten is to just warp around a bunch to trigger the quest for the ship. Well I'm about 50 warps deep now with no luck at all. Wondering if there is something I'm missing or is it the fact it was given by another player messing things up? Any help greatly appreciated as I have essentially wasted my night warping around aimlessly lol.

I bought NMS at launch and wasted my money [Discussion]

I came back a few times to see what changed - I was still disappointed.

With the newest update, changes to crafting, QOL changes, better npc's, better storyline this game went to the top of SCI-FI games on the market for me.

This game is a great achievement with those updates - I write it as I started a new game, and I am simply overwhelmed with what this game has to offer now.

for some reason, I’m unable to hatch a 2nd void egg [Question]

I’ve been saving for a 2nd void egg because I love Living Ships and it’d be cool if I had another one. so I bought the Void Egg, and warped many times. absolutely nothing happened. I tried switching ships, which didn’t help. I tried flying around the atmosphere of a planet in hopes I’d get coordinates - nothing happened.

basically, what I’m saying is that the 2nd void egg I got does absolutely nothing but sit in my inventory.

any idea how can I fix this?

Do I have to have ALL the glyphs to get a living ship? [Question]

I've avoided the main quest this time and done the base building one and the Atlas. Now I'm most of the way down getting a living ship and have only 6 glyphs.

Directions to the nearest portal and no it isnt second star to the right and striaght on till morning! [Question]

Could one of you kind souls offer me a quick tip on how to locate a portal, i used the first one that you get directed to but i got all the stuff done for my living ship now and im pretty sure that i need to enter glyphs into a portal as per the info shown on the egg.

Problems is i cannot for the life of me find another portal and the one i already used does not appear to still be there.

So i ask is this just a matter of RNG and i have to keep searching or is there a method to locate the closest portal to me.

Looking for info about "The Fade" [Question]

I am looking for information, portal addresses, etc., about planets at "The Fade" of various galaxies. The Fade occurs at the outer edge of a galaxy, and I have read that planets there are sometimes not stable. That is, the various characteristics of a particular planet change from one save to the next so that one time it may be a harsh planet and the next time a lush planet. They tend to be around 1,120,000 - 1,150,000 LY from a galaxies core. I have also seen one reference on the Fandom wiki that suggests that the spiral arms of a galaxy have names. I don't know if these are technical/"official" names, or just fan life stuff but info about that would also be interesting.

PS4 or 5 VR NMS [Question]

Hey folks.

Recently got a PS5 and got NMS PS5 edition installed on it. Started a new survival mode to enjoy the glorious new glory of the revamped edition.

Days later, I get a PSVR and after seeing "PS VR" listed all the time playing NMS on my PS4 Pro, was eager to test it out. Could I work out how to enable VR mode on the PS5 NMS? No, I could not.

Investigations later, it seems the PS5 version of NMS does NOT support VR...? Yet the PS4 version of it does. However, I'm then reading how the VR version of NMS has been massively improved on the PS5. Ok. Now I'm puzzled. So... while I want to enjoy my new shiny PS5 version of NMS on my PS5, if I want to enjoy my new VR headset, I have to... do what? install a PS4 version of NMS onto the PS5?!

Is this the general idea? I mean, I started out with a UK PS4 disk of NMS, which I used on my UK PS4. Then I moved to Canada and used that same UK PS4 NMS disk on the PS4 Pro I bought. Fine. Then I saw a deal on NMS on the store and bought that - only to find I could not migrate my game save from the UK PS4 disk version. So I already had TWO versions of NMS installed on my PS4 Pro, which could not share game saves. Now I've got a PS5 with the PS5 version of NMS and I still can't share saves.... But yet I have to install yet another version onto the new PS5 of the PS4 version, in order to use the PS VR headset?!

I'm feeling somewhat confused. Is there a PS5 version which supports the PS VR on the horizon, or are HG waiting on the newly-announced PS VR headset for the PS5 in a few years?!

I can't get higher than 30 FPS, at Standard quality, with VSync off, 1600x900.. GPU shows 99% usage. Help? [Question]

So to elaborate on the title a bit..

I decided to try this game again for the first time in a year or so, but I'm seeing horrible frame rate (20-35fps), even when I use the lowest settings and dropping to 1600x900 (1080p monitor).

When I use the Geforce overlay it shows 99% GPU usaged as soon as I'm in game (like walking around, not main menu). I have installed the latest drivers, and tried the beta drivers too, with no change.

Yet I can still play GTAV at 1080p, with most settings between high and ultra, and see a consistent 60fps. GPU usage showing between 60-85%.

Here's some basic specs: GTX 1060 3GB 24GB Ram Old but trusty i7 Windows 10 Pro

I know it's not the best, but again, I can still play GTAV and everything else I want just fine. Definitely seems like it's something to do with the 99% GPU usage, or whatever is causing that.

Any thoughts, or any ideas what else to try?

Little detail that always bugs me [Suggestion]

The logic of going through portals and your ship always follows. I know this is probably because most of us would end up losing our ship. But if we had some sort of marker on the map as to where we left it, I would be ok with it not following me. Kind of adds a bit of strategic challenge to everything.

They could at least explain how the ship stays with us. Can we store our ship magically in our exosuit?

I know this seems trivial, but for me it takes away from the magic that this game creates.

And following up on this, this could create new opportunities for the game.. "Borrow" ships from NPCs that results in decreased standing. Steal tech on ship too? Scrapping disabled of course. (maybe too much GTA in space) Fix downed ships but not actually claim them. Hitch a ride on a NPC freighter Intergalactic Taxi service run by the Anomaly

About glyphs and portals [Question]

It’s gonna be a long RNG grind… Another question is : every traveler tombstone will grant me a NEW glyph or there’s the chance to get one that I already own?

Lore… the Collective… and Inspiration.. [Question]

OK so last time I tried to make this post, my post was “why should I keep playing this game” and people hated it, so I’m going to ask the question(s) more artfully:

As an avid traveler and explore I’m looking for things to do. I’m trying to wrap my head around how big this universe is. I don’t want to spend a lot of time crafting or building. Of course I need to upgrade my ship to travel but I’m not gonna spend a lot of time on land roving vehicles or submarines. Apparently there’s a lot more to do in this game but it always feels a little bit out of reach. Why have I never seen a citadel? Also, you can ride on a flying animal according to the Internet, but when I try to do it in the game I cannot figure it out. They don’t like creature pellets.

I am finding now that using other peoples universe is too warm to far away places is a great way to get resources that I can use to power my drives. I would honestly have gone straight for that in the first place. For those of you who have traveled very far what is the best thing that you’ve learned?

No way to increase build limit? [Modding]

Recently hit the construction limit with my main character, meaning that my plans of developing one individual system is out.

I've tried a tweak of changing RemoveBaseBuildingRestrictions to True in a graphics setting file, and nothing has changed. I also downloaded a mod called Exosolar's Beyond Base Building, the game gives me a warning that a mod is installed but I still can't build anything else.

Building for me is one of the most relaxing things in the game, but I'd hate to have to use up another save slot and go through the whole process of getting a new character kitted out with enough gear, finding a nice star system, finding hundreds of salvaged data, doing quicksilver missions to unlock the special stuff... it's an awful lot of tedious work to do the second time.

Base Extension Not Working [Question]

Base Extension isn't working all of a sudden, and I'm not sure why. I've already built pieces 400u or so away from my base computer, but now it's acting like that location is out of range of the base.

Read on for nitty gritty details...

So I've built several bases so far in the game, including one that spans at least 900u. I know all about extending the geographic limit by putting additional base pieces down every 40 or 50 paces.

I was working on a new base to mine some minerals. Found a power hotspot, put down a save bacon to mark it. Found a nearby mineral hotspot, and put down my base computer. The two hotspots are only about 450u apart, with the base computer in between, although the computer is much, much closer to the mineral.

I started by using the short wall from basic structure menu to place a line of them leading from my base computer to the power hotspot. Then I added a bunch of electro magnetic power generators, as well as a small building to house them (mostly because it's a crazy harsh planet with fire storms every day and freezing temperatures every night). So far, so good, no issues with placing these base parts. 400+ units away from the base computer.

Next I connected a power line from the generators all the way back to a teleporter that sits right next to the base computer. No issues yet.

Then I went to the mineral hotspot and built a bunch of mineral extractors, maybe 50-75u from the base computer in the opposite direction from the generators. I connect the power line from my teleporter (which is still powered) to my mineral extractor--it overloads, and needs more generators. It's fine, I expected as much.

HOWEVER, now when I go out to my generator site, I lose my base building menu and only get portable items to craft. It's acting like I can't build that far out. But I've already got the power generators there, the building surrounding them,...

Ship specialization [Question]

It’s known you can have multiple personal ships. My question is do you have one you use all the time that is balanced or do you use different ships for different purposes and different upgrades/modules? For example, explorer for warping between systems, fighter for well fighting and hauler for storage/trading runs.

Planet Type Changing?? [Question]

Hi fellow travellers, vykeen, gek, korvax and others,

I've spent upwards of 250 hours building and rebuilding bases on one of the first beautiful paradise planets i found. Since buying the PS5, i now play NMS with my 4yo son who loves the game, on the two consoles.

I was disappointed to find that visiting my base from his other account has the planet as a Tropical planet rather than the Paradise Planet it actually is, which means there are really annoying storms (especially annoying inside large indoor rooms) that never happen on the main account.

Having invested so much time making a detailed mansion on the planet, i wondered why this has happened, and if it means everyone else visiting will also see a tropical planet and therefore also the storms?

I will post co-ord pic below if anyone feels like visiting to check 🙂

Many thanks! Jay

Traveler found as a pilot at a Trading Post [Discussion]

I wish I had an image to accompany this, but what happened caused the game to glitch and I wasn’t able to get a shot. So I was at a trading post, about to fly off when an exotic showed up. Figured I’d buy it and scrap it for nanites. Jumped out of my ship and approached the exotic. To my surprise, the pilot wasn’t a Gek, but a traveler (the one with the lightbulb head). When I tried to speak with him, it started the interaction but with no options to speak, buy, sell or leave. No options. No captions. But he just kept talking. Forever. I had to force quit the game to get out of it. Has anyone ever encountered a traveler as a pilot? In my 600+ hours of gameplay, I have not. The fact that it glitched out makes me think it wasn’t supposed to happen or might be a rogue piece of a future update? Thoughts?

Oculus Quest 2 VR wont work (keeps crashing on the loading screen) [Bug]

I spent 3 hours plus trying to get it to work... I didn't even get past the loading screen without it crashing. I reinstalled steam vr I lowered every single game setting to its lowest and it didn't work. Clearing old shader cache and verifying game files did nothing either. I tried using air link and also different USB ports and it still didn't work. My guess is its a problem with oculus link and how it interfaces with steam vr. If any of you have had this same issue and know a fix please dm me.

Any and all hepl is appreciated!

Looking for a friend with a freighter to help with Living ship cargo upgrade glitch. [Question]

So for those who don't already know, there's a nifty bug that you can use to upgrade the storage on living ships using the starship terminal on space stations.

Tutorial: Essentially you buy any cheap space ship, leave it in the space station, fly to your freighter and a "copy" will spawn in your freighter. Person 2 that wants to upgrade their living ship will hop out of their ship, hop into the now abandoned cheap ship in the space station and hop back out. At this point, the game should get confused and recognize your living ship as a normal ship, and you can use the terminal to buy storage slots on your living ship.

Looking for an interested partner to try it out and would gladly return the favor if they have a living ship they want upgraded too.

Throwing Ideas Out [Suggestion]

What if there were a series of minigame-esque missions associated to your frigates that could be started by landing on the frigate and talking to the frigate captain.

For example

Combat Frigate: you join the frigate on a combat escort where you get joined to a group of players where one pilots the frigate and others act as gunners or mechanics and you protect a supply ship from point a to point b.

Exploration Frigate: you join the frigate on a trip to a planet with a group of players and the goal is to discover all flora fauna and minerals on a previously unexplored planet.

Industrial Frigate: you join the frigate on a trip to a planet with a group of players and you have to find an S-Class resource mine and create a harvesting facility to certain specifications (like a certain number of rooms, adequate power to always run, an exocraft bay, stuff like that)

I don't know what the trade mission would be. Finding a rare resource sounds kind of bleh and is already a mission that exists.

And by 'join the frigate' I mean you ride along without your ship. And once the mission is complete the frigate returns to base. And at any time you could call your ship and abandon the mission or whatever.

I think something like that would be super cool and fun

Some random questions from a filthy newb^^ [Question]

Hi there, been playing for a few days nowand collecting quicksilver over all the time, are there any "should get item xy as early as possible?" or is all apart the void egg "just" cosmetics and at the end of the day nothing matters as long as my traveler looks fancy enough?°

2.d question, the at first pretty helpfull "advance your base" quest just jumped from a 6h timer for a new console to activate up to 24hrs, overall i dont care that much for it since i got alle the BP's from it, but i like clean questlogs xD

is it normal that the plasma canon thingy buggs around sometimes? Or is it just nut usable in some areas? Feels like it works only 1/4th of the time.

Just spend a around 80-100 nav datas on maps from the station just so i got some of every type with me all times, any other notable uses for them?

Overall i got to say, if i had known before how much fun i will have overall i would have gotten into NMS earlier^^ looks like waiting hours and collecting new ships just for the sake of it will be my new addiction after i found a system i like and set up a first base that is not just for some tutorial quests :D

Relics etc. [Suggestion]

Firstly, I have submitted this suggestion to HG via the zendesk - putting it here to see if anyone else thinks it would be an interesting idea.

With no real use for these kinds of in game items; could we get a base item to display them rather?

• A Showcase for relics. - single and multiple items to show off collections or just your most prized find. • A Display Stand for bones (if we could assemble skeletons for show that would be a cherry on the cake). • Hangable frames for ancient texts (hang it and choose what you want to display in it).

There are low value "broken" stuff that i discard but there are also very unique and high value stuff that i think is cool but is just sitting around in my vault taking up space.

I think being able to display these items would be cool and might even give players a renewed interest in digging them up. Finding physical versions of the teleporter keys would also be great.

Imagine being able to build museums.

What is your oldest/most valuable archeological find?

When you know JUST enough to be dangerous... to yourself (newbie funny/embarrassing story that's cobalt-related) [Information]

I'm a returning player to NMS (last save was in Jan 2017!) and of course the most recent expedition for the Normandy hooked me back in. Started a new save afterwards and dove right in, eager to absorb everything. I've spent some time looking at the wiki, and watching YT videos featuring the likes of SurvivalBob, etc., and as a newbie I was trying to make enough units early on to fuel my desire to buy the hottest ships I could find.

After a brief dalliance with the chlorine refining method, I found out about cobalt flipping, and swiftly set to work. A little here, a little there, and wouldn't you know it? I was pumped to hit the 1billion units mark.

Being bored a little earlier today, I decided to do some cobalt flipping while watching tv, passively. After several hours of this (doing a little side-exploring when the mood struck, of course) I started to notice that my profits weren't adding up as I thought they should. Only about an hour prior, I had upped my sales from 30 stacks to 40 stacks, and I wasn't noticing the big profits I'd expect from that. After seeing that my total units were hovering around the same value after 2 systems, I decided to keep a log of my finds. Maybe there was a bug? Maybe the flip was unintended profit and the devs had nerfed it? I needed to get to the bottom of this.

(some of you will be able to get the joke right off the bat, stay with me!)

Here is the detail of my laborious logs of 3 systems:

1st station logged:

4,274,268,643 starting units

--Vykeen 3 tier at -3.4%--

sell all for 76,510,304 (40 stacks + 36 (4 plugs of 99,999, or 3,999,996 total cobalt)

4,294,967,295 (only recv'd 20,698,652)

BUYBACK at -80.7%

99,999 at 4,781,894 x4 = 19,127,576

I do not mind a break between expeditions, however what I DO mind is a lack of communication about it [Discussion]

I am not entirely sure if my situation is relatable, but: I'm an old fart. Probably not in the objective sense, but compared to my teenage self who could literally sit on a PC and game all day away I sure feel like it. I have so many things I want to keep track off - social obligations/group gaming, singleplayer games I'd like to marathon for the immersion of really getting into it, series I try to keep up with, books, weekly/monthly mange releases... it is just so so much and it is just not as much time as it was back in the past.

Well, it still is ENOUGH time, but now I have to be smart about it. I need to "schedule" my media, if you get my drift. One weekend cleared for game A, those evenings set aside for the boys, these other days I will be invis everywhere while I read/watch my stuff, and so on.

I am not even asking for an exact day or something like that. Just a clue about if there will be an expedition before the anniversary, or if it's in June or July, that'd be enough. It makes stuff just a little bit easier instead of it then coming out of nowhere and you need to change it all up again.

I do get that Hello Games is maybe a bit burnt when it comes to "giving infos to the outside" from launch but seriously that's from half a decade ago stop making such a big secret out of everything!

What's up with nexus missions state? [Discussion]

I was having the fckng best time of my life with this amazing game, I reached the nexus missions and... Well, I'm still motivated and all, but this was a total "off" experience.

I took the first mission. I had to inspect some flora. I landed the planet, I made my base... Then I don't remember what I did, if I turned off the game to continue next day or what, but the mission disappeared. I just remember I could not continue it.

Okay, go to the base, pick another mission (I just want some mercury). Kill those abominations that come from those eggs. Nice, the same as the antimatter mission, I'll farm those eggs meanwhile! Well, I kill a lot of monsters, they spawn infinitely. I see no progress. I read the mission log. "Destroy the eggs". Me: "Ooooh I don't have to kill them all, just kill all eggs". I kill all eggs. I see log mission. "20/21 monsters killed". THAT WAS NOT THERE BEFORE. No more eggs, can't spawn more enemies. WAIT! I remember it saying that I can find more eggs elsewhere... The radar tells me nothing, no mission icon nowhere...

okay, I give up. Go to the base, pick another mission. Rescue an alien. I get to the planet, I find the alien near the broken ship. I search for some hidden parts, I get 2 parts. The alien doesn't speak anymore, I can't use them in the ship. I analyze the item itself. Nothing. I give up.

And I did not mention that i was 1 hour in the Nexus inviting everyone and trying to make a team or at least a duo coop (at least they fixed it and I could see people, the last day the nexus was a wasteland). EVERYONE REFUSING my invitation, 1 hour, like 40 people. I had to give up in multiplayer.

I'm afraid this can kill my mood but today I'll try again another mission, and solo. What new bug Will I encounter?

Base Building sigh [Discussion]

Sorry in advanced if this comes out as a rant. At the moment I'm just frustrated with the games mechanics.

How do you get over creators block? I mean for a game that's part-SpaceX (Space Exploration) part-base-building, why does HG make building incredible bases so hard? I got this idea of a grand mansion (for my retirement home) and yet I can't build my design the way I want to without glitching the game, which I'm not to entirely familiar with doing, let alone mastering. I try to start building a base, and then get discouraged because of how complex and ridiculous glitch building is so then I just turn the game off because what else is there to do?

Like all this amazing looking bases are all built by glitching. GLITCHING. Why can't they just overhaul the base building system so we don't have to go to extreme lengths to do one simple thing? All these incredible bases are built by exploiting the games mechanics. Like why does it gotta be like that?

Oh and another thing, I get No Mans Sky is a fairly Niche game, but why are all these awesome creators keeping their bases "hush hush?" Like I searched up "No Mans Sky Base Building" on YouTube and sure there's a lot of incredible looking bases on display, but no one is willing to teach or go in depth to be as good as them.

How do you overcome discouraged creators block?

yea, totally came off as a rant, I apologize

Anyone just trying to reach the center of all 255 dimensions? [Question]

Ive read online its either 50 or 255 dimensions but not sure. Everyone starts in Euclid Galaxy. The first thing I did was travel to the center. It was before they updated the black holes where black holes were rare. Now there's a black hole every 20 systems. It seemed like it didn't take that long. So I went to Hilbert Dimension and there's nothing crazy to see so I just recently reached the center and am now in Calypso Dimension. It doesn't look too different either. So I'm wanting to go deeper. Next is Hesperius then Hyades.

Is there anyone in the Calypso Dimension? Is there anyone just trying to traverse the dimensions? If so, what is the furthest Dimension you have been? Do they change at all in any drastic way?

My experience with Euclid, Hilbert, Calypso is there is no difference. All the same planet ratings, same economies, same races, same planet classifications, same ship designs, same creatures. There's not more Diplos or Dinosaurs or anything. I read once that the more you travel into the dimensions the weirder they get, but idk where I read that.

Solar Panel/Battery Configuration [Question]

Hi all, I had a question about how I should be hooking up my power grid.

Currently, all of the power to my base is supplied from 4 solar panels/batteries. The solar panels are connected directly to their batteries, and the batteries are wired into the base.

I have reached the point where I do not store enough energy to power through the night, which tells me my batteries are not charging up.

Can someone please confirm that my understanding of how this works is correct: The solar panel power will pass through the battery to power everything. If the grid has enough power already, the extra power from the solar panel will be stored in the battery. Since the 4 solar panels/4 batteries I have are enough to power the base during the day, all I would need to do to have power through the night is connect a second solar panel to each of my batteries - then the "net" power supplied throughout the day would be 2x what the base needs, meaning half of it would be stored for when night falls and the solar panel stops working.

If there is a better way to do this than connecting Solar Panel -> Battery -> Grid, please let me know if I'm doing this improperly. I'm about to build a giant power plant beside my base to generate surplus power for future base addons, so want to be sure I'm being efficient. Thanks for your time!

*Bonus Question: If I dig out underground tunnels, run electrical wires through them, then restore the terrain, will the wires still work or will they be deleted? I've done aesthetically pleasing wiring so far, but that's going to get very hard soon - hoping to find a way to hide them.

Why would all the terrain in all my bases respawn at the same time? [Question]

Some time in the past couple days, every single one of my bases regenerated all their terrain. I've tried reloading my save a few times and it didn't help.

I know the usual answer is when you make new terrain edits, it forgets the oldest. Ok fine, but it forgot all of them?

I do try to put a foundation under my buildings to minimize this, but since the terrain in NMS is almost never flat, it's hard to avoid cutting into the ground sometimes.

I also don't use the terrain manipulator much to alter my terrain, the terrain edits are caused by placing base parts

Does anyone know which galaxies are labeled as frozen? [Question]

Hi! I’m looking to relocate for exploration. I know some galaxies are referred to as empty, and within the empty category some are labeled frozen. I’ve googled around, but I haven’t been able to find which ones are frozen, only which ones are empty. Does anyone know of a useful link or guide for this?

Problem: my new building is not airtight [Question]

Greetings, fellow explorers!

Today I finally wanted to start working on a large building for my first proper base. The previous building is very dmall, only 4x4 basic squares of area and 2 wallpanels high. Now, once I had completed the basic structure of the new large building's ground floor (7x14 basic squares, once again 2 wall panels high) and closed it off with a ceiling, I noticed that my health was still declining and the temperature wasn't 19 degrees Celsius like usual. Now I did a google search first, and there is one old post about a similar problem, but I wanted to ask whether this building may have a different reason for not being airtight than size.

It is located in a place where a hill stood previously which I flattened with my terrain manipulator (side note: when I get back from the local space station, some parts of the hill are visible again, but disappear when I get close to them. I hope the hill won't just magically re-grow eventually and cause my base to disappear or be inaccessible?).

Back on topic: Would the building become airtight if I segmented the floors into several rooms? I need to farm resources anyway before I can continue to build. Any tips are appreciated :)

PreFab Buildings - Doors - Power [Question]

Been trying to find a video or other guide online about prefab buildings. The door i put on mine is always open, and seemingly the building is powered even with no power attached to it? Is this right? Do prefabs just self power themselves? Trying to figure out how to get the doors to close and open when I come and go.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Learning a portals in sequence? [Question]

I remember seeing a guide where someone found how to learn the glyphs in sequence.

By using the glyphs you learn in sequence to teleport to systems that have travelers.

I can't for the life of me find it again. Any help would be much appreciated.

Freighter tip [Suggestion]

If you're in the process of getting your free freighter I recommend being patient till you get a capital freighter. After you get it just warp to t3 systems till you find a freighter that you like. Do the reload autosave on the space station in that system trick till the freighter you want comes out as an s class. Then you can exchange it for 0 units with the capital freighter. If it's an S class capital freighter this trick probably won't work but it's worth a shot.

What would you guys think about an update that added short cutscenes to key story moments? [Suggestion]

I was playing through the Artemis Path again on a permadeath save I recently started, and felt like minor cutscenes could really enhance certain parts.

At one point, Artemis shares a vision with the player, and I felt like this could be excellently conveyed through a cutscene of sorts. This was just one among many moments that could be made even better by some more visual storytelling.

Icarus rover recharging [Question]

Hi, my first post here,

Is Icarus module bugged? It is supposed to give power during the day. However I now cannot drive at night at all. It runs out of power really quickly and even though my normal fuel tank is full, I am told there is not enough power to move.

I live on an extreme planet and I've been enjoying driving around harvesting storm crystals, fitting this module has totally broken the rover. I keep having to wait solar recharging.

Does Anyone Else Want Retractable Floors or Ceilings? [Discussion]

I would love to have a buildable part that could be set to retract when a ship comes nearby or starts a landing sequence. It would also be great to have it close once you get out. Of course, it would be amazing if it could be set to open when you get into your ship. Of course, if you could change these setting a bit, that'd be amazing, but I'm not asking for a whole lot of crazy stuff. What do you guys think?

(If you're wonder what I want to build, I want to build the Plant Express building.)

Did I miss some update where farming rules changed? My dilemma in comments as well as a pic [Question]

So, I'm made a tiny idium farm, nothing big. Consists of bout 20 or so extractors. Anyways, I wanted to add another 5 or so and the power lines were red at first....but then realized I needed more juice. I added 12-15 more power extractors and hooked them up to the existing one. All the lines were blue not red. Also, they indicated how much power they are putting out. So, I thought im good to go. Went to the extractors and now the lines are blue but it doesn't work. Says it's offline. The original ones work, just not the new batch ... any ideas?

Anybody else not able to redeem the expedition 2 rewards? [Discussion]

Context, I had finished the expedition 2 and enjoyed it very much. I had to reset my PC because it was having troubles loading up. After reinstalling the game I can no longer redeem the rewards from the second expedition except the clock thing. Is it not supposed to be redeemable again or am I just a dumbass?

Freighter swap-out upgrade [Question]

Has anyone done this since "keep your stuff' without moving everything was added recently? It says that you get to keep your "stuff" but my question is does it recreate the builds and layouts, move maybe, in the new freighter or just leave you with the building materials and a barren ship?

Breeding the next generation. [Discussion]

When we mess about with a creature's DNA in gene sequencer, we essentially create a new species.

However, when the egg hatches it always shares its parents planet time as its habitat.

Pulling a capital freighter [Question]

Is there another method to pulling a capital freighter other than the 5 warps method? I found this cool capital freighter on the coordinate exchange reddit and I took a portal to a planet in that system. Went into space and there were only regular freighters that popped up.

Can someone help me understand the generating of the living ship at the end of the questline [Question]

So I found a model of the living ship I really liked on the internet that had the teleport glyph coordinates with it. I made a manual save on the other side before getting in my ship and just spent about 45 mins going to the ship and then reloading the manual save. It was generating different models and colors but none were the one that had been claimed to be there. I'm not sure if I am doing something wrong, or if it is always just a random generation and I can do it anywhere.

Preorder items on PS5 version? Are they still obtainable? [Question]

I decided to start a new save, and I can't seem to locate where to unlock the pre-order bonus items (specifically, the ship). I'm on PS5, and there is no menu item to activate them.

Do I need to load the PS4 version, create the save there, unlock the items, and then upload the PS4 save to HG in order to continue it on the PS5 version with the preorder ship?

game stopped responding to keyboard inputs [Bug]

game randomly stopped responding to all keyboard inputs except for esc, space and tab, which i need to press multiple times to get a response. file integrity is at 100, should i try redownloading? will my save files still be there?

I really love the way this game let's you build anywhere, but I wish I could build joint bases/communities with friends. [Suggestion]

I just want to be able to share a base with my friends so we all have a place to meet back up without having to cross the planet or fly to a space station. If we could just allow access to base computers and terminals to select people that would add a whole new level of cooperation and community development.

Don't get me wrong it's cool seeing how everyone builds differently and has amazing original ideas but imagine being able to build a joint base or colony with multiple base computers near each other or even just sharing buildings with your friends as a group hub.

Just hit 600 hours and i'd like to say something [Discussion]

I got NMS for Xbox in the Christmas of '18, and when it finished installing and i got to finally play, i nearly wept at the beauty of it and since then, i've come so far. i've traveled tens of thousands of light years, discovered over a thousand planets and systems and seen sights unlike anything in any game i've played.

Now, three years later, i've hit 600 hours and looking back on all the places i've been and the things i've seen, this game has become part of my being. it's helped me get through good and bad times, it's even the game i played at the start of the new year.

Thank you, HG and Sean Murray, for making this game and sticking with it for so long. and thank you to the community for being one of the kindest i've known.

I look forward to exploring this universe for years to come

I love you all

Found a frozen hellscape of a planet. [Discussion]

I dubbed it “This Planet Sucks” and put a save beacon to visit it later. It has mountains with super steep cliffs, frequent blizzards, cloudy skies at all times (that I’ve seen so far), aggressive sentinels everywhere, and for the part I hate the most. The mountains I mentioned go both above and in the clouds, and are the same color as them. You can and will crash upon entry to this planet.

QOL and UI improvements/fixes/wishlist (quite long) [Suggestion]

Every time someone posts a "what do you want to see in the next update" thread I always answer "QOL and UI updates and fixes" but I don't go into detail because I don't want to clog up their thread. So in case anyone were curious (which is doubtful but you never know) here's that list.

Apologies for the length, but with luck maybe somebody will agree that some of these changes might be nice, and maybe it'll be worth your time to read some of it.

Dialog/messages/notifications Speed up the general dialog box text reveal or just make it instant. Other than specific use cases in missions to create dramatic effect, there is no reason it needs to crawl at a 60wpm typing speed. Add a way to cancel conversations/dialog boxes at any time instead of making me have to click 6 times and wade through 30 seconds of crawling text just to tell the Vy'keen weapon master "Sorry, I already have someone." For that matter, if I've hired a worker for my base, or I do not have the appropriate specialist terminal built anywhere, give "hireable" NPCs different dialog since I can't hire them anyway. When learning a new word from Request Dialect, why does it automatically exit the dialog half the time and make us click again half the time? Just exit the dialog and play the NPC animation when we learn a new word from them. After a player has purchased all the blueprints in the Anomaly machine, stop "reminding" them they have salvaged data in their inventory. Only show the "Hold (button) to exit" interstitial for a system or planet the first time a player visits it. There is zero reason to have that interstitial reappear after that. Exosuit guidance message, starship guidance message, any other guidance messages: once the player has reached the Anomaly, please please please disable these.

Unlinking twitch account [Question]

Does anyone know if I lose the twitch drops in the QS store if I unlink the account I used to claim them on? As they always appear on new saves but I'm concerned if I unlink it they will stop appearing. Theoretically they shouldn't as they have been claimed but on the off chance someone has done this hopefully they can provide an answer.
