disappearing beetle pet when riding? [Bug]

happens with the beetle i max sized, and the one whose size i increased 5 times only rather than all the way to max. both encounter this problem but on the max size, this bug is basically guaranteed. on the one i size increased only 5 times still encounters the bug but not nearly as often, which is why i think bigger size means bigger chance of this bug. og beetle i adopted has never had this bug, nor has any other flyer i own except these two species of beetle (one species is the max size, the other i size increased 5 times). next going to see if it occurs when size increased 4 times instead of 5, etc. will try to update with results.

Zoology [Suggestion]

Dear Hello Games,

Please allow me to build a zoo comprised of all my favourite companions. Maybe even allow me to trap some sentinels in glass boxes at my base? Would it be too much to ask for biologicals horrors as well? Haha.

Love NMS and all the updates you've been putting out, just something I've been wanting to add to my primary save file!

The Prisims Update Is Great But... [Discussion]

Why does my character STILL not appear in the cockpit of my ship? If I'm in 1st person view in the ship, I should see my character's hands on the controls. Why isn't this a thing?

Custom base power [Question]

I'm trying to build a custom base for the first time. Having built a few prebuilt one before I can't help but wonder how to power a custom base properly. Is there any way to have the power everywhere like in the prefab? Some lighting items don't have the sign to plug in wires but seem to work just fine in prefab but not working at all in custom base. Any tip on the subject would be appreciated. Thanks.

Ionized or regular cobalt? [Question]

I just started and wanted to flip cobalt, so I refined into ionized with the intention of unrefining 4 stacks of ionized into 8 stacks of regular to drive the price down. However I went overboard and I’m close to 8 stacks of ionized cobalt, is it better to flip ionized cobalt at this point, or regular cobalt

NMS VR troubles - Help please [Question]

Hello All

I have started to play NMS VR but I am experiencing some issues that I would like to share just in case people know how to address them. I hope someone can assist because I love playing this game except for a couple of things.

​ I cannot move when I am pointing at the actions on each glove (build menu's on left, gun options on right). For example, when pointing at the Build Menu, I stop walking. While navigating through the build menu I am unable to walk. Once selecting what I want to build I cannot walk around to place it. I am forced to walk to the right spot and then navigate the menu. It annoying when I am not quite in the right spot and have to move around to start the menu process again. Targeting using the visor can be difficult. In some cases it seems like the icon I am trying to target will not lock on until its on the peripheral on my visor. It's also difficult picking out an icon when there could be a few close together. Picking things from a plant or technology can be troublesome. I am looking directly at something very close by but I do not have the option to swing back my wrist to pick it up. Usually i need to look all around the object and search for that pickup option.

Hopefully there are some mods to address these things but I am having trouble finding them. I haven't installed any mods but that will not be a problem to work out if needed. Can someone help me out? Pretty please?

Not sure if this will help but I am using a Vive Pro 2 with the Vive Wands.

Does this tech exist? [Question]

I’m new to the game but I could swear at one point I saw a blueprint for a device that allowed you to transfer resources to and from your ships from any distance — like a resources teleported. Am I crazy??

Game Constantly Crashes at Holographic Comms Tower (PS5) [Bug]

So, when completing the Alone Amidst the Stars Quest, I have to go to a Holographic Comms Tower. However, whenever I would be near it, my game would crash. It does this every single time. Also, whenever I try to launch off the planet, the game crashes. Anybody else have this weird bug? I can’t even play the game now.

Starbirth Mission not Working Properly? [Question]

So I have just got all of the missions for my first living shop complete except for the final one. I have the Hardened Shell, Mature Neural Stem, Mature Heart Node, Singularity Core, and the Cracking Void Egg. There are no timers left or anything.

So, the current mission (titled "starbirth") just says "The Void Egg seeks a specific world. Examine the egg in the inventory to learn more of it's requirements. Unconventional travel may be required".

So I go to the galaxy map, select current mission as destination, and start warping along the path, as you'd expect...

However, I've warped at least 30-35 times, each about 600-800 light years at minimum, and it doesn't appear as if I'm any closer to the target system (the line doesn't even extend far enough so that I can see the exact system I need to go to, in fact that line only goes a few planets along then just fades away). I have exit and relaunched the game many times, I have wen through portals, I have used space station and space anomaly teleport terminus. Still the exact same.

I'm 99% sure that I shouldn't be going this far for this mission. Is there something I am missing? Can someone help me out please? Thanks

Note boxes and animal holding [Suggestion]

Hey Hello Games,

It would be super beneficial if we had little comment boxes in the systems menu. We could have little notes next to the names of the systems and planets like, "Gravit/salt/phosph" or "Cool antelope" to easily mark attributes.

Another exciting idea, that I'm surely not the first to have, is to have animal holding areas and containment cells. It would be amazing if we could put our pets in free-range pens, stables, and zoo-like cages. We could spruce them up with plants from the animal's native environment too.

I'm sure the never-ending list of suggestions is maddening, I hope you guys know that we all love NMS and whether you keep making updates or not, you've made a remarkable experience of a game.

Returning player questions & Horizon Omega [Question]

Hi y'all! I'm a returning player with some questions regarding the game that I haven't quite found anywhere else.

1: Multiplayer & Party systems. NMS is a beautiful game and seeing screenshots of the recent Prism update have made me excited to play, my friend and I are installing the game right as I post this! I'm curious though, is there a party/clan system in place? Any way to track where players you're playing with are located? Losing track of things like that would be pretty easy for someone like me who's Grenade-Blind in most FPS games I play.

2: Support for VR? Have the devs said anything on this? I don't own a headset yet but it would certainly be something to look forward to once I have one.

3: I pre-ordered the game when it was first appearing on sale, and I'm sure most players know the disastrous story of this game's launch. I played about 8 hours before I gave up. Since then I've lost the console account I used, along with the game itself, which I'm going to be repurchasing. However, being the sentimental lad I am, I'm gonna miss the Horizon Omega. It gets replaced immediately, yes, but the sentimental value of it is immense and I'd keep it around to fly for fun. Is there any way for me to obtain the code for it again?

4: How in-depth is the base-building in this game? I've seen screenshots that look completely different from the game's actual aesthetic, and ones that definitely fit it. I'm assuming these are mods, but how creative can you get with the vanilla game?

Thank you for any help. I'm excited to get back into this game, as my friends and I have been craving a space exploration game for ages.

why oh why do base areas have to change with every update?!? [Discussion]

i built my base on a lush planet. luminous yellow grass, beautiful trees surrounding my home. after an update the trees were suddenly gone and got replaced by sporadic giant mushrooms. bit lame but ok. the next update raised the terrain for some reason. so now i have a hill in the building i have to flatten every now and then, ‘cause it keeps growing back. and with the latest update a few minutes ago i suddenly have an ugly, giant, green/brownish mushroom right in front of the entrance and it leans into the building on the top floor. bit annoying. i guess the update had some positive purpose, but wouldn’t it be possible to leave base areas untouched?

Question about losing bases? [Question]

Hi everyone. Had a question about what happens to your bases when you decide to move on to a new galaxy. Do you lose access to them? Can you use portals or teleporters to revisit them and keep tinkering, and then go back to your new galaxy?

Thanks in advance.

Planets nerfed when starting, difficulty revealed after time? [Question]

I started a new character on my wife's account. I found a fantastic planet. Not the starting system or anything, I jumped to a new system. I found a paradise planets with bubbles. No weather, no sentinels, amazing. I logged in on my normal account to also go and create a base there.

When I get there with my main account, there are Gravitino balls and aggressive sentinels.

What the hell is going on? When you start, are the planets are nerfed or something? Because that sucks. You find a great planet and spend the time to build a great base, only to find later, when you have advanced more into the game, that the planet was not a great planet to build a base on after all?

Seriously, is that supposed to be fun?

Are there universal names for species? [Question]

Im new to this game and community but ive seen people throwing around names for certain general forms of fauna (ie. Bonecats, striders, diplos). Are these names completely unnoficial or in the code or what? Also regardless of how official, is there a place where some of the common names are collected? It might be kind of nice to name new species i find riffing off of those. Thanks for the help!

A galaxy of updates - some ideas [Suggestion]

With all the updates HG keep throwing at us (thanks!), some of us became fond of styles (gameplay and/or art wise) : vanilla, fondation, atlas rises, next, origins, now prisms ....

Now hear me out : imagine HG would dedicate one galaxy (one of 256) to be a galaxy where it stays 2016's vanilla gameplay (sort of 'ancestral' galaxy), another galaxy where there is Atlas rises art style, etc... (Euclide would remain the one up to date)

That way, we could choose which galaxy we want to stay and that would give further incentive to go to different galaxies...

In a way, no more 'universe reset' when game is updated, as you can find back your system as it was, but in another galaxy...

256 galaxies is a lot to mess with...

thoughts?

Is No Man’s Sky VR worth it? [Question]

(I already asked this question in a comment on another post but I wanted to make a stand alone post for it as well)

Hey guys, looking for some opinions. I’m thinking of buying a VR just for playing No Man’s Sky and a few other VR games. Would you recommend it? I feel like flying a ship and all that stuff would be absolutely amazing in VR. What are your opinions? I also don’t know too much about the brands. What type of VR should I get? Which ones are compatible? Also, what type of hardware do I need for it to run? Is it hard on your PC? I have an RX 580 and an AMD Ryzen 7 2700x right now. Runs nms on 60fps with high and medium settings. Sorry for all the questions, I just feel that asking here would be the best place. Thank you!

Anomaly teleporter featured option greyed out [Question]

Hey all, I'm trying to use the featured section in the anomaly teleporter to find a base in the eissentam system so I can get there. But the featured tab is greyed out, furthermore any base options available to travel to, don't say which galaxy they are in, which a lot of people say to check beforehand. What am I missing here?

Thanks!

Confused about the hyper drive mission. [Question]

I am early in the game and have the mission to install a hyper drive. I have not enough money and the tip of the game to make money is farming, trading or using the mission board. I looked everywhere and there is no mission board. It is supposed to be next to the hyper gate but there is just one dude selling planetery charts. Or it will unlock later. Or it is a bug.

Now am I rather supposed to farm and sell the ressorces to buy the components or what is the best way? I would like to know what the benefits of the mission board are before I go back farming on my first planet.

The radius of the Euclid galaxy [Question]

Searching on google for some reason didn't give me an answer. Only posts about how to get to the center (Overrated AF).

So my question is - anyone knows the radius in units to the edge of the Euclid galaxy? (I assume all galaxies have the same size but just in case I am talking about the original starting galaxy).

I started using portals to try my luck and get to the edge. I ended up in a place 1 000 000 away from the center and when I went into the galaxy map it looked like the edge was very close, I jumped to it with 3 tries. However, once I got there, did some missions, jumped back to this "edge system" and went back into the galaxy map, suddenly there was like 200 000 more units to the edge.

I've heard people say this before and I have witnessed it first hand myself now. In galaxy map, the whole galaxy doesn't get loaded. You can fly with your camera to the edge, but if you actually manage to jump there, more systems will show up around you after some time. But obv there has to be an edge. Has anyone reached it?

A couple of newbie questions [Question]

So I've boguht this game 2 days ago and so far it's great. I heard it was a dissapointment after the initial launch but i'm glad i decided to check it out after several years lol. I have a couple of (maybe stupid) questions though and I hope someone can answer me: On the initial screen i have two options single player and multi. I haven't checked the multi yet as i tend to enjoy playing alone, but it single description it says that other players may visit my world. but so far i haven't met anyone yet. I'm just visiting one one space station regularly and there are npcs only. Also on three planets i've visited so far i haven't met any player. Though I heard the world of the game is pretty big and it's kinda given you probably won't meet another person if you're just flying from planet to planet in a single mode. Is that true? Is there any place I can meet onther players even when i'm playing single mode? A hub of some sort? I started the game on some winter planet and on the attached screenshot it says i discovered it together with another planet but the third one was discovered by some other guy (Pepper7201). several years ago. So if the world is randomly generated (if everyone starts on a random planet) does that mean my planets weren't there when he discovered his planet back then? About the plot, is it important? I mean do i have to hurry with it, are there any time constraints? so far i've build a base on another planet as the game told me but i find myself often returning to my starting planet there's that much stuff to do and to find there. I must say i really enjoy the idea of learning alien language word by word...

That it so far, thanks in advance

No quicksilver missions [Question]

After the purge [Spoiler]

I finished the Purge story missions yesterday, picked the green galaxy and landed on a planet. My multi tool was damaged and I couldn't find my ship for my scanner was damaged too. Luckily I had another ship so I summoned her and got to a space anomaly where I bought a new working multi tool. I returned to the planet but since the other ship became the main one of the I have, when I scanned the planet I couldn't find my old ship. What can I do now to find her?

Base organizer/classification is there any? [Question]

Hello from the deep dark emptiness,

New to the game, been watching some "new player tips" videos and reading some stuff but can't find anything about this.

Is there a way to organize the Settlements/Bases somehow?

Like having a classification system could really help, plus adding icons of the resources available in the planet where each base is located to its brochure or maybe a filter list in the portal menu could help even further. I only have a few now and am using the Name system I created to do this but has its limitations.

Any advice on this?

How to unlock the player titles Augur, Oracle, Vision-Master, and Titan [Information]

These player titles are really hard to find info for so I wanted to share how I unlocked them all.

Titan - Traced a fallen Traveller Unlocked by fully completing the Base Computer Archives mission. This includes the last ten locations it sends you to that give you an upgrade module and lore.

Augur - Feel the wrath of the Vy'keen / Learned from the Vy'keen monoliths

Oracle - Feel the judgement of the Echoes / Learned from the Korvax monoliths

Vision-Master - Feel the spirits of the Gek Unlocked by failing five monolith "trials". You can tell you've failed if you lose faction points. Successes could also work but the game seem very picky about which ones count.

Big thanks to /u/BrickBardo for their comment explaining how they unlocked the monolith titles.

Multiplayer Questions [Question]

My friend and I are coming back to this for the first time in probably 4 years. We want to start fresh and play together. I know the menus give you options to join games, but I had some questions.

  1. can we actually build a base together or would it just be separate bases on the same planet? 2) if its the same base, do we both need to be online to work on it or can we do it separately? 3) if its different bases, can we see them when the other person is offline?

Basically I read the stuff online but I'm still confused. I plan to play through the tutorials since I may as well have never played. Thanks!

Searching for the best ship [Question]

I’m early midgame, but I lost myself in trading/mining/missions. So right now I sit on 70M . Since I got all the glyphs, now I want to spend my money in buying (or finding) the best ship I can, so I can concentrate in all the other features of the game. Question is: what should I do? What’s the best ship, looking at the general consensus and where I can find it? Any help appreciated!

Flying mounts question [Question]

So I tamed what looks like a flying saucer. Is there a way to control how high in the air I am while riding? The only way I can seem to be flying up high is if I climb up a hill and fly off a steep cliff. Then the mount soars at a slight downward angle until I hit the ground again.

Do the installable protection upgrades stack? [Question]

I have three s-class underwater protection modules, the kind you can buy for nanites on space stations, and I can't tell if they stack protection or if since they provide a timed amount of invulnerability they are redundant. Half my inventory space is taken up with these things and it seems like where I have multiples - like I have multiple thermal protections against both hot and cold - they deplete in parallel, rendering their invulnerability (and the bloat in my inventory) redundant and therefore useless. Am I wrong? Am I better served by stacking these things? Any help on this would be tremendously appreciated

I'm a bit lost. What happened? [Question]

I had not played for a bit over a year and decided to play again. However, most of the planets I discovered are suddenly discovered by someone else. Planets changed and I was getting attacked by animals on my quiet Eissentam planet.

I see that there have been quite some changes, including some new pet mechanics? Anything else of importance? Should I go back to my bases in Euclid to experience these new changes?

I could use some guidance. Last time I logged in, I got overwhelmed and just logged out. Doesn't help that my NMS portal key is lost on my previous PC.

An interesting find... [Information]

Don't know if this is old, or new related to update. Some may say it's a bug but I'd say, it's a pleasant surprise.

I was in a space station, saw a ship I wanted. The ship was 15 mil, I traded my ship for 5mil and payed 10mil. A.i pilot then leaves station. As usual the ship flies back into the station, but I checked it to see if it was upgraded version. Lo and behold it's not, however instead of buy it allows me to free claim ship. Got a free 10 mil ship. Scraped it. Now I got a new ship+the 10 I spent.

Spent another 15, maybe 20 mins in station, the upgraded version to the ship I just bought flies in. Costs 30 mil, so I trade my ship for 15mil, then payed 15 mil. I IMMEDIATELY went back to the A.I pilot, and was allowed to free claim the ship I JUST SOLD for 15 mil.

Currently sitting at station waiting for the next version for free. 😁

Try it out, let me know.

Cannot get missions to unlock [Question]

I’ve reached a point in the story where I have to increase my standing with one of the races (Vykeen) to advance it. However the mission giver in the star base simply will not talk to me. According to the text he’s rather terrified of me lol.

I would love to have NPCs “move” into my base aside from the NPCs that man the terminals [Suggestion]

Pretty much the title.

I’d love my bases to grow from a small base to a major settlement or a trade hub with more NPCs coming or going to give life to my bases that I’ve created.

When my bases get large enough sometimes they feel lonely and desolate, where they could be points of interest instead. A place of refuge from the sentinels!

Returning player has questions on No Man's Sky [Question]

As a player that had left the game nearly 3 years ago, I started playing again during the second expedition to get the Normandy & was amazed at the changes that had taken place.

So, I have been playing regularly now & have a few questions.

  1. So, we are still limited to 6 ships. This was a bit of a disappointment since I already had 6 nice ships that I grinded forever for including 2 exotics (S Class) , 2 max slot haulers (S Class), an awesome short nosed fighter with the side rails (A Class), and my bread & butter explorer with a 2500 light year jump capability ( A Class). All preferred designs with the right colors (blue base). I was in the middle of getting my living ship when I realized I could not add the ship when I got it. Has there been any discussion by HG to allow a player to have more than 6 ships? It seems a shame to throw away hours of grinding just to get living ship to add to the collection. We have 9 Freighter slots so why not allow us to use them?

  2. Upgrading ship types – aside from adding storage slots it is possible now to upgrade the general ship class as well as modify color if I am not mistaken. Am I correct?

  3. Freighter - aside from adding storage slots is it possible now to upgrade the general Freighter class? I have a nice A Class Venator ( the huge one) that is all the right colors. That was another long grind.

  4. You used to be able to crash a space station market back in the day. One of my pastimes before was to fill up my inventories with Stasis Devices, sell them all, buy them back until the market demand dropped to -75% buy them back, move to another system, rinse & repeat. I made billions that way. That technique worked on other space station items as well as long as I was working the right systems (trade routes I had built). Does this still work?

Jet pack issues (Xbox One) [Bug]

Hey Everyone,

I was wondering if anyone else was having an issue where their jetpack won't actually boost you up, or boosts you for a second then you fall and it starts doing little bursts?

Tips for reaching the center in survival mode [Information]

Greetings fellow travelers,

it was the last Steam achievement to unlock, so I thought why not.

I "died" twice before getting it; The first death was incredibly stupid. I had an amazing continuous stroke of luck, I thought maybe survival was just easier. Then I built my base too close to a minor settlement, came back through a portal, had my ship within the minor settlement, had the great idea of using my ship to save my game, and got stuck in the roof of the building, no way out...... Then I had bad luck with new planets, I had to restart 5 to 7 times until I got born next to caves. The new flora that gives Sodium are lifesavers, with a bit of luck you can find in 1 cave enough sodium to make it to your ship The old flora that gives Oxygen is obviously cool as well The second death was also incredibly stupid. I knew I should not use plasma launchers, but I had found an S class upgrade for them. Was trying to get my last recipe (!) for the submarine fuel, was getting fired on, ran to the manufacturing, and the area of effect of my plasma launcher one-shotted me when I shot at the last part of the door.

It seems the shortest way is to play the story, with a focus on resetting the simulation.

You will need to do some base building (you can stop once you made a circuit board), once that is done you can just focus on Artemis/Apollo/Null. Once you meet ATLAS for the 2nd time, just jump 16 times to get the glyphs and you will get a portal to the final interface where you can reset.

I finished the run in 13:38 hours, and have played a total of 737 hours.

If I could wish for minor changes in the game; Please, give players the ability to skip dialog, or at least make it faster to go to the next line of dialog I would love some kind of pesticide, I have an ancient base from before solar panel times, and with the change of planets, I now have weeds in my...

No Mans Sky VR - Nothing else quite like it. In a good, but also a bad way. [Discussion]

I'm at my wits end with this game. For immersion & content, it's one of the best VR games out there. However, the constant vomit-inducing FPS drops, taring & reprojection are driving me insane. I have a decent rig: (Ryzen7 3700x, 16Gb, RTX 3070, Quest 1 on USB3 link) and I can play the majority of other VR games flat out (Alyx, Seeking Dawn, Hellblade, Subnautica). I can play pancake-mode No Mans Sky with everything on Ultra and at 4k with no issues. But I can't even get a solid 72fps on No Mans Sky VR on anything other than Potato-"Standard" settings. I've tried all the recommended fixes (resolution scaling, beta versions, new/beta drivers etc...) settings file tweaks, tried clean installs of NMS, SteamVR, Oculus all to no-avail. Even VR games running natively on the Quest's puny mobile platform perform & look better than NMS VR. How can a game that's so awesome in almost every other way, be so absolutely pants in VR? I can sometimes put the settings up to Enhanced, and the game will play flawlessly for a few minutes but then for no apparent reason the FPS falls down to ~40 or below with diabolical screen tearing every few seconds. I was very lucky to be able to upgrade from a GTX 970 a few months ago, and all it got me was ~20fps. From the looks of other posts, I just seem to be unlucky. Some seem to have no issues running NMS in VR, and for others it's an unplayable mess. How do I....? I don't even.... Help.

[Question] What should I do in the game now? [Question]

Hello explorers,

I am writing this because I don't know really what more to do in the game. I know I have A LOT undone and it's overwhelmed me and that's why I'm here.

I finished the main quest in search of a certain type of planet I was looking for, and got it. So now I have a ship with a decent amount of slots, a rifle multi-tool, a VERY basic base, and an exocraft. I don't really know how to advance and get all the crazy blueprints for a better base or develop my own economy, or even how to really run a freighter for economy.

Can someone give some advice on how to actually begin making some of those advancements? Do I just need to spam explore other planets now?

Egg sequencer issues [Question]

new player looking for to just explore [Question]

so i started the game a few days ago, couple of hours in. im trying to not search for things to avoid spoilers, but i want to find out if there will come a point in the game that i can just go to any planet i want so i can explore/build bases.

right now, i did the starter planet that was full of fire (died every 10 min), fixed my ship, went to another planet full of fire again, built my base there and now i am about to go to a space station. it seems like i have to follow the story in order to go to a new place. just wanted to know if that is how it always is. i am playing on normal difficulty if that makes any difference.

Empty Anomaly on PS4 [Question]

Anyone else having issues? Barring one visit when I first got access to the Anomaly (when there were other people there) I've played mostly with Multiplayer turned off. Mainly as I wanted to work my way through off my own back without some lovely traveller dumping 100m worth of AI in my exosuit. I'm not against it by any means, I just wanted to play through before getting into the other distractions.

Now though, I'm done story wise, so I wanna start seeing other people again in the anomaly and despite having multiplayer on and cross platform on, I'm still seeing it empty. Have I missed something? I'm on PS4. I know there was a problem a few days back where everyone got this, but pretty sure people said it was fixed and all was back to normal.

I'm probably being thick here, but no harm in asking! :)

Do Multi-tools still have varied stats? [Question]

Looking at resources available online, I've noticed that the amount of information revealed when looking at multitools (and starships for that matter) has drastically decreased over the years. You find out nearly nothing when examining stuff.

Do the different "classes" of multitool, like rifles and pistols, still have their percentage modifiers to certain stats, and the stats were just hidden for some god forsaken reason, or are they all homogeneous nowadays?

Vehicle Building Concept [Suggestion]

Ability to create our own vehicles using the build option (this would use the items from the base building stuff). Using this youd be able to create huge cruise ships or fancy yachts on the ocean, that can actually move around and be controlled by a player. Youd also be able to make your own land vehicles such as a 1:1 replica of a Lamborghini that also can be driven by a player, or perhaps building your own flying Boeing 747 (obviously for planetary use only, not space travel), ofcourse, you can also fly it as well. Additional objects would be added as well for vehicle building such as plane engines, helicopter propellors, boat engines, wheels, car engines etc etc.. What do you think about this idea? Please leave your thoughts in the comments below, I'm open to any criticism or anyone adding onto my idea! c:

Doing something different [Discussion]

I've just spent the last few hours with my 7 year old daughter just flying to different planets and discovering as many different creatures as we could find.

I am always to engrossed in the base building and money making to really appreciate the little things in this game.

Question About Artemis Questline and Getting Glyphs (SPOILERS) [Spoiler]

Hi,

So I'm fairly new to the game. About a week or so in. I've read that I should start collecting the glyphs if I just follow the Artemis questline. I got to the bit where you find out he's actually dead or a ghost or something. I decided to upload him to the simulation and not tell him he's dead. So far I haven't got any glyphs it seems, even after I reached his grave. It says in my catalogue that I have zero glyphs discovered.

Is this a bug or something? Currently I'm supposed to approach different species cartographers to learn more information but I have no other quest logs popping up about getting the glyphs. What the hell is going on?

Best graphics card for this game? [Question]

In it's current state, how would you change No Man's Sky? [Suggestion]

I have no idea if they plan on creating any of these but it's what I'd personally like to see in future updates. A search bar - For a few things - namely the catalogue bit because holy shit how can I find anything when it's not even in alphabetical order? Also for my ship/exo-suit inventory, if I think I have something or even where it is if it's in some random storage container in a different base. Nothing regenerating inside my base area - I want my underground batman base damn-it! Also for my base because one of those explode-y plant things keeps hitting me from under the floor of my base. Better triangles for building bases - I'd like to see a large 90o triangle and a 45o triangle half it's size - both with equal angles - so I can do fancy stuff with that, mainly flooring. When I build my bases I try and imagine what each technician would need in their room b So more small decorations specific to each technician would be cool, for instance a microscope to put on the scientist's desk, car tyres and/or different car parts that I could pile up in the garage, different guns on the wall mount display compared to what the weaponsmith has - maybe we could swap them around so that they at least look different? Putting some vertical etc. The plant options are cool though, I like how many of those there are. Underwater - I've heard a posibility they're changing this in a future update - Why am I able to swim only in a certain part of the underwater bit in my base, when I've used those glass cube things to create a massive room? Also, the under-water stairs? Why do I have to jump a bit to get onto the floor above that those stairs connect to? And I'd love a little half wall thing that I can use to separate different floors a bit more instead of using one of the other three options, then have two of those - one the same width as one floor square, and one the same...

A friend and I Constantly Getting Kicked from Sessions Together on Xbox One and Series X [Question]

The problem is the title, but to elaborate more, basically what happens is one of us joins the other's multiplayer game. I have an Xbox One, and my friend has a Series X... not sure if that means anything but figured more information is better than less. After joining, sometimes 15 seconds sometimes a few minutes later, we are disconnected from each other and put into separate instances. It occurs randomly no matter what we are doing, even when we just tried standing still. After some extensive google searching (most results being over 2 years old now), I found that or NAT types had to be open. Turns out mine wasn't and, after a quick restart of my Xbox, it had reverted to open. However, it didn't solve the issue. We gave up after a while, but he tried to play with some friends on discord a few days ago, and they were all having the same problem. It's worth noting we used to play this together just fine for hours without any issues. Has anyone else encountered this and, if so, did you fix it and how?

TL;DR - Friend and I can't stay in the same session for longer than 3 minutes no matter what before the game puts us in separate instances, does anyone know how to fix it?

Multitools in space station cabinets now static? [Question]

Used to be you found an S-class MT in the space station cabinet you could land on a planet, save and reload, and then return to the SS cabinet to find a different S-class MT. And repeat as many times as there were planets in the system. Not anymore? Or am I doing something wrong? I've posted a few very cool multitools to r/nmscoordinateexchange doing this and getting an S-class alien or experimental MT in the rotation. Now there doesn't seem to be a rotation at all anymore, the MT you see when you first check the SS cabinet is all you're going to get. Anyone else notice this, or am I just not that bright?

Some newbie questions about companions [Question]

Hi guys,

I swear I've spent days searching around for answers to these questions and just not finding anything useful.

What happens if your pet dies? I'd be devastated if Mibie-mibie died. I love my pineapple blob. 💞🍍

Do pets take damage from the environment? Like if my pet is from somewhere nice, but we go exploring on some awful radioactive hell hole can they die from that? I think so, but I'm not sure. I put a vitals pack on her, and I noticed it glowing red so I dismissed her. Sometimes I see it goes blue I think.

Speaking of packs, all I can find is info from when companions first came out and it's not clear which ones are just purely cosmetic and which ones do something. I know lasers work though, and the vitals pack did... something...

I found a lot of technical information about egg sequencing and behaviour, but not much for actually hanging around with them.

Thanks!

Large refiner capacity still only 250? [Question]

Ive seen several videos where someone sticks something in a large refiner and the capacity for various different things is sometimes in the thousands. but everything i put in my large refiners on my frieighter only ever goes up to 250 for both input or output. This freighter base is several updates old but was just recently transfered to a new ship via the Prisms freighter base transfer feature. i havent tried to refine much since ive noticed this. its just been some living smile, runaway mould, and multiplying some gamma weed and frost crystal.

this 250 cap is also the same for the medium refiners in the same base, making the only difference for them being the lack of a slot, which also seems wrong. should those be slower? because my mediums and larges refine at the exact same speed

Is there something bugged or are youtubers just using mods or something?

Imagine an alternate universe with 16 updates [Discussion]

Imagine an alternate universe in which all NMS players realized the potential of this game right from the start. And instead of asking for pointless stuff like owning pets and building bases, they always only insisted on variety updates. And in that case imagine if we had gotten 16 updates only improving on proc gen, expanding variety through added assets, improving crearure ai. Etc.

I bet at this point after 16 updates like that you could spend dozens of hours on a singular planet and still feel like you did not see its features repeat itself and still feel like you have so much to discover on it...

But nooooo, "I want to own a space giraffe instead"

Go to any space station, swap ships with anyone you can, go back to your ship, ask to trade ships with the alien whose ship you just received, and you will have the option to add your ship back to your collection.

Alloy refining for early money? [Question]

How is no man's sky profitable? [Question]

Guys I was there at 2016 and I have been coming back every year as the team's efforts and dedication continue to astound me. My question is not at all a sarcastic one. In a market where studios have convinced us that they need to include microtransactions in games, Hello Games has continued to shame the biggest names in the industry. And I love them for it . Yet at this stage I don't really understand how they can continue the support for a single purchase game that has expansion worths of free DLC injected into it on a nigh monthly basis. Yes, good will is great. I've bought the game 3 times now (steam, PS4 on release and PS4 digital) but even then l, the amount of new players each upgrade brings in cannot be so high as to cover the enormous amounts of work they are putting in. I wouldn't mind a paid expansion at this point. It would have been an insult prior to next or atlas but at this point I would gladly reward their efforts of preserving something pure kn the game industry with my wallet. In a world of UBISOFTS and EAs we need to support Devs like this.

Anyway, curious how people feel

Yo, hear me out.... Joinable Frigate Expeditions. [Suggestion]

So those little missions you can send your freighters on. Those descriptions are insane at times. I want to be out in the field with my boiz blowing up asteroids, doopin' pirates and merchants alike. Utterly destroying entire pirate fleets. Even going toe to toe with another fleet. PVP PLAYERS HERES YOUR CHANCE! perhaps partake in specific types of mission where you and another player could duke it out WITH YOUR FLEET. Imagine the pure chaos of a battlestar galactica or star wars esque battle, either PVE or PVP. Entirely up to the player by a special PVP mission type.

Heres the trick. One i can live without, but would be incredible if they can pull it off. I want drop in drop out. My jump range is huge, and i can catch up to Mah Boiz. Let them be unchanged as is, they can still be that somewhat passive overnight mission where you fire and forget, but i want to just go meet up with them after i get done with work. Then where i have to go to bed, i can let them journey on. Ill see them later when i jump back on and continue our adventures. Or i can go back to base building and let them be entirely autonomous.

A feature like this could be there chance to explore and rebalance space combat. I know its a lot. But this could give this game the combat fix ive been needing.

Come to think of it the different types of missions leads to even more opportunities of adding more to mining in space as well as creating mission for building straight up mining bases. Researching critters and plants or again creating research bases with specific criteria to accomplish a goal, which you could continue to benefit from after the mission. A system like this could open a whole can of worms to rebalance the whole gane and its loops, so yeah huge ask but would be super worth it in the long run.

It could help newer players reach that veteran level faster, i know people can get...

I'm returning to No Man's Sky after 4 years. I have a couple of questions. [Question]

When I played at launch, I remember doing quite a bit to get a great ship and upgrade my gear. Now that I'm returning, should I just re-start from scratch or was the time I put in back at launch worth keeping? I remember logging in once and seeing that a bunch of items in my inventory are no longer used in the game. Is there any rare items that I might have in my inventory that I shouldn't immediately vendor?

I remember logging off on a space station. When I return, where should I go and what should I do? Is there a major over arching main story I should be working on? Will a mission or quest pop up when I launch? Should I be seeking out planets/bases of players from the reddit community? I remember spending my time jumping to get to the centre of the galaxy, and then when I reached it, I just started again from the outside.

Thanks for your time helping out this old noob.

Ship...disowned? [Question]

Hi!

I found a small ship with the help of a destress Beacon, and I repaired a few systems.

After a while I came back and I had to claim the ship again. And all repaired systems were Broken again.

I repaired it once more... at least the central systems but I really hope that that doesnt happen again. Does anyone know anything?

VR performance guide for 2021? [Question]

I've run PC versions of everything from Google Earth, to Blade and Sorcery, Beat Saber and Project Cars, but NMS is the only VR game I can't get optimized through Virtual Desktop. I'm running an RX 590 and a Ryzen 3600x, so I know I should have enough horsepower to run it, but I'm not sure where I should begin. Steam settings? Oculus? In-game? VD? Any help at all would be greatly appreciated.

Giant Ships Bug [Bug]

A few months back, a friend of mine and I were playing and ALL the ships in the game became comically huge. Here are some phots that I captured while it was happening. Only lasted a few minutes before it corrected itself. Look closely and you can see my Gek character even more dwarfed than normal.

Glitched empty space station? [Question]

I jumped to a ayate that has a dark (red lights) space station with the portal and the terminal but nothing else. What I wasn’t expecting is to immediately hace lave a wave of ships land - including a nice exotic (first time seeing one on initial wave) but I couldn’t get it (ship limit). So I wanted to change ships to trade it and went ahead and reloaded the save but no ships showed up. Left space station to call freighter and came back, still no ships, which is what I would normally expect anyway. So was it a glitch to have a first initial wave land with me?

Alone Amidst the Stars bug [Bug]

Okay, so I've extensively googled a solution to my issue and I haven't found anything relevant or helpful. Basically, last year I stopped playing in the middle of this (Alone Amidst the stars) quest, and coming back to it recently I'm tasked with returning to the lifeform to determine my position on the star chart. I follow the Icon that says 'Potential Assistance' and it just directs me to an empty planet-side trade hub with the Icon down on the ground. I am assuming that an update or two broke my quest. I've attached a screenshot of this.

I would really rather not have to start a new game, as I have 50 hours in my current save and would be devastated to have to give up my companion dog-thing. Is there a very obvious way to restart the entire quest? Do I have to go do the Atlas Seed quest first? My Space Anomaly quest just says something along the lines of "go find Artemis" so I don't think that's the issue.

If anyone has answers, I would be incredibly grateful. I've already spent a few hours trying to get around this.

Question about storage [Question]

Hello! For now I've been managing my storage through ships. I have 3 ships and I distribute all my resources and stuff between them. Then I realised I can buy "storage boxes" with a lot of space, but... I have to place them in a planet. For now, I can call all my ships for free from any planet, mobile storage. For this storage... Does that mean I cannot access it unless I physically run into that box? (Or I get there through a teleport)

And second question, how about safety? Can someone enter and steal my stuff?

Origins VR fix? [Bug]

I have a WMR headset without controllers and it worked great with NMS using mouse+keyboard. Since Origins (from what I read that's what broke it) mouse or keyboard no longer work in VR. Is there any workaround for it, or any way to revert to a pre-origins version? (I'm using Steam)

Unfortunately where I live buying controllers separately would cost as much as a brand new VR set which I cannot afford so I'm stuck with whatever workaround there might be.

Invert X-axis in third person [Suggestion]

Just got this game after hearing about the hype from the new updates, looks great and pretty excited to start playing. I like that it has 3rd person view, as I prefer 3rd person view because I like seeing my character and more of what's around me in the game. For third person view, I much prefer playing with both the x and y axes inverted, while the settings in-game only give you the option to invert the y-axis. To me the xy-inversion layout makes more sense in third person, as if you're controlling the position of the camera from behind, as if your right analog stick is controlling Lakitu's position in space, (mario 64) holding the camera. Playing non-inverted almost feels like playing left handed (as a right handed person) if that makes sense. Seems like every other modern game I've played so far has the option to invert both axes, but was disappointed to see that this is not an option for No Man's Sky. Seems like this would be an important thing to include from an accessibility perspective, even if it only affects a small number of players, and I can't imagine it would be difficult to implement developement-wise. A brief google search revealed this has been suggested by xy-inversion preferring players for years, so I'm not too optimistic this suggestion will be considered or included, but I thought I'd go ahead and add my thoughts to the pile.

It's really easy to kill a sentinel walker by using the terrain maniupulator's create mode to block the laser. [Information]

My go-to strategy for killing walkers is to build a shape like so:

Walker before:

|-o|


\ \ \ \

/ / / /

\ \ \ \

Walker after:

ROCKROCKROCKROCK

ROCKROCKROCKROCK

\ \ \ \

/ / / /

\ \ \ \

You start by building a column up to eye height and little walls out to the sides, then mining out the bottom to expose its legs. They lack pathfinding so you don't need to worry about them walking around the structure. If you want to pre-fab an arena, you can build a structure like this in a circle or square (as seen from above, and make it decently large) on a flat plain so it doesn't matter what side they spawn on. If they spawn inside the arena, you go outside. Otherwise, stay inside of it (make sure it's big enough to give you room to fight). You can go as many rounds as you have ammo with this sort of arena, as long as you can fight off everything else (Shouldn't be hard).

Broken/Missing textures every other time i launch the game [Bug]

Examples here: https://imgur.com/a/3vemenO

This is driving me nuts, gf and i have been playing for a couple weeks (game pass version), and on her PC, every time she launches the game it's 50/50 chances it'll have this issue where ships, characters, and all planetary assets are missing textures and have this horrible placeholder texture, we've been trying to track it down and can't find the cause at all, it's inconsistent on when it happens, seems random, and we've checked that it's neither GPU driver updates nor game settings. Does anyone have suggestions on what could be causing this?

The Purge Mission: No Location for Final Portal [Bug]

I was attempting my first play-through of the Artemis and Atlas Path mission series today and I ran into an issue with the final mission The Purge. When I arrived at the system that my galaxy map directed me to (through the current mission line), the Mission Tooltip says "Mission Target is in a different system". When I go back to the galaxy map, the current mission line leads to the system I am in.

I managed to find the portal in the system I am in, but it is simply a normal portal, I powered it up and it asks me to input coordinates as a usual portal would.

Has anyone else had this problem? Were you able to fix it?

What's the best way to go about base building and expanding its size? [Question]

Hey Friends,

So I'm nearing about the 160ish hour mark and have decided to settle into a planet in the Euclid Galaxy. Which means I'm starting to farm resources. I have three points (base computers) on my planet. Two of them being mineral extracting areas. So I came back to my HQ and a small chunk of it was missing (a landing pad and some cuboid frames) How do I prevent this from happening? and what is the best way for base expansion via U radius/diameters?

Thanks again,

This music is captivating, and the game is gorgeous. [Discussion]

I‘be recently started playing no mans sky after 10s of restarted saves through the last couple of years, but this time really sticking to it, but most importantly figuring things out myself.

But today I played for 4 hours, which is unheard of for me, and I think that was partially due to the music alone.

I landed on this huge mountainous planet, it was hard to traverse and was a bit dull in colour. The journey there was filled with a glitchy, random piece of music as I pulse drived through space, but when I made touch down, there was silence...

In that period where the music cut out, I could hear the grass swaying in the wind, distant (bizarre) birds and other land animals were moving about and making sounds, and ships were flying overhead. It really let me take in my surroundings, realise I’m on a living planet, and thus I began to walk near a building marker I received after using a signal booster.

As I walked, more music began to play, this time incredibly atmospheric and calm compared to that which I heard during space flight. I don’t know much about music but that really hit the spot. Trekking through the grassy hills with strange mushroom like plants around me, it was gorgeous.

Then it turned night... and frankly I was bewildered.

Turns out the grass I was trodding on was hiding it’s bioluminescence. During the day everything was orange, with a green atmopshere and foggy feeling, but at night, my word, it was like walking through a city. The same mushrooms lit up like lampposts and the grass itself became the rush of cars on a busy, nighttime road. Everything was bright and the music picked up too.

The combination of that music and the wonderful scenery made me realise I might be addicted to this game, and I owe lots of it to that music. Naturally I’ve heard it throughout my entire time playing, and the way it so...

Is runaway mould the absolutely easiest way to make nanites(and how is it done)? [Question]

I didn’t know about this substance until yesterday. I landed on a low gravity moon that was being intersected by planetary rings. This game rules! Anyway… I landed right beside some runaway mould. About 10 balls. After I harvested them, I looked them up with my handy pocket app and you know what I did next? I took off and didn’t place a marker and can’t find any on this dang moon.

Are they easy to find and I’m just doing it wrong?

I don’t mind running around this low gravity moon because one “jump” using my jetpack, and feathering the throttle, can get me 750u down range, but it would be more fun if I was finding this mould resource. Thanks!

[PC] Really rough frametimes on a 3070? [Bug]

So I've played 300+ hours of NMS over the years, and I recently came back to it after a long time away. I'm on a new PC with an RTX 3070, 32GB RAM, Core i7-11700K.

This setup is significantly better than my previous PC, and while I'm getting a solid 60fps, there's a really bad frametime "twitch" happening regularly during camera motion. These don't appear to be frame rate drops, but frame pacing issues.

Even when I reduce the resolution to 1080p and turn all the graphics settings to the lowest, I still get a solid 60 with regular camera twitches. I have even locked the frame rate to 60 in the Nvidia Control Panel, which has fixed minor frame time issues in other games. All the screens I'm playing on are at 60Hz.

I've played this game a LOT, and it's always been buttery smooth in most environments. This doesn't feel like a performance issue, but some sort of setting on the new PC (or in-game) or perhaps a bug with Prisms, etc.?

Interested to hear if anyone else has encountered this kind of thing before. Thanks!

Huge noob wondering what am i supposed to do? [Question]

Hey all!

I finally got to re-install the game after purchasing it on day one and not liking it.

I've done the initial tutorial which teaches me how to do my base and how to set off to new planets and finally got to land in a planet I like...

.....aaaaand now what? I find myself stuck with a lack of objectives or things to do. Sure, I can hunt some salvaged data to further increase my range of build types such as metal and concrete walls, make a nice looking base, feed some animals but I feel I am missing the real purpose of the game, that element that "hooks" the player and makes them play for weeks. The game seems to be all about exploration, but I can't find the reward in exploring the vast worlds, there is (so far for me) no rare loot, no cosmetics, no power up.

Don't get me wrong, I am by no means bashing the game. I simply think I am missing the real point of the game. Also, I haven't finished what it seems to be the campaign. Does it unlock all these items I am missing?

Thank you! :)

No Man's Comeback [Discussion]

So I know there's been a jack ton of bugs and glitches that's been popping up lately but man, I still can't find it in me to hate Hello Games. Yes they slipped up in the beginning. They didn't keep much of their promises when the game came out. We can all admit that. But they've done something that triple A games hardly ever do. And that's reviving a game they had a vision on. This game could've ended up another cardboard cut space game but it's set a standard. Not only in the vision from the beginning but how well it's turned out half a decade later. Of course there's a lot that still needs to be fixed and we hope they go back eventually to fix the foundation but I'm still enjoying the route HG is taking. This all to say that I don't think people should give up on this game. Glitches are a huge turn off in any game. Yet I rather have a few glitches in a game with a map as big as this one than a whole triple A game get put off a console store cause of how bad it was. Cough cybersomething cough

Falling through bases question: more, smaller, buildings per base, or more bases? [Question]

Does this only happen on single buildings, or is it everything on the base? If I build several smallish cabins around my lake, will I start falling through the floor again, or do I need to make different bases elsewhere to avoid this when I start needing more space?

Trophy glitch making me miss out on PS5 plat [Bug]

When I transferred my save data from PS4 to PS5, I was about 35 warps into the space exploration milestones, yet when I hit 40 warps on PS5, the milestone popped in game, yet the trophy didn't.

This game helped me deal with my debilitating existentialism [Discussion]

TL;DR I have a crippling fear of death and the unknown, but after being contempt with what I did in my playthrough, I let my life support run out and walked around my base until I died my one and only death.

For preface, I've always had an extreme fear of death. I fear that because there's so much in the world to do and see that I'll miss so much by the time I die, and have been fixated on preserving my life as much as possible while spiraling into existential crises.

I have a tendency to put myself in the shoes of my RPG-style characters, so naturally I acted as if I were my traveler. I made the decisions I would make, both in the story and in my day-to-day exploration. I got really into it because I didn't die my entire playthrough- so even on normal difficulty, I treated it as if this was permadeath.

Going through the story, you get so much discourse about someone's purpose and motivations for even existing, The conversations with Atlas specifically. I got so much into the roleplaying, that I couldn't bring myself to reset the galaxy when prompted-so the only way to progress was to get to the center. I just kept farming and going about my explorations and slowly crept towards the center of the galaxy, doing things in the game I'd always wanted to do like fight off level 5 sentinels in a dogfight.

After I made it, I immediately went back to my base and decided my will had been fulfilled. I had a great playthrough and a great life as a traveler, and I was okay ending things here, so I literally did.

I swam around and burned through my life support on purpose, then sat on the edge watching the horizon with my [REDACTED] planet pet, waiting for my time to come. (pics below) It felt really alleviating, like weight was being taken off my shoulders. However, being in the emote pose wasn't getting me killed in normal mode, so I...

Cant figure out what planet my pet is from.. [Information]

Morning everyone,

So I found a triceratops on a quicksilver mission, didnt build a base to go back to that area because I wasnt too concerned. I want to have it lay eggs so I can make him bigger, but his natural habit is "unknown". I have been to planets like gamma intensified, radioactive and a few others. Anyone know how I could figure it out? I spent like a good hour + going from one stormy type planet to another and couldn't find it yet. Any help would he appreciated

My 30hr save keeps crashing every time I load it. PS5 [Bug]

I have no idea what to do at this point, as every time I load my save. It gets into the galaxy map part just after the title and freezes. I can however play if I join one of my friends playing.

The initial freeze happened when I landed next to an abandoned building for the atlas quest. It seems like I’m unable to load into that area, it’s got to be the thing that keeps me crashing if I’m ok to load into my friends games.

Ive deleted and re-downloaded and it’s still exactly the same. I’ve opened a ticket with the Zendesk system that hello games has for bugs and crashing but I didn’t know if anyone else had any ideas? Or someone directly from HG might be able to help me? Thankyou!

[PS4] Question about appearance or lack of appearance of bases in the game? [Question]

So I'm currently playing a game in permadeath and I thought it'd be fun to visit a base I built in normal mode. The location is Hub-130 Dornish in Euclid btw. So I portal over, visit the location and to my surprise even though all the terrain is the same, my base is nowhere to be found! The weirdest part is there are several bases adjacent to mine that DO appear in permadeath, exactly the same as they appear in normal mode. I tried re-uploading my base but no dice. So can anyone explain why this is happening and how (if) it can be fixed? Thanks!

An issue that I and a lot of other experience [Bug]

hey so I've bought the game yesterday and since I launched it, I had some terrible terrible stuttering/lags at certain points every other moment or so.

I looked for a solution and a lot of people suggested changing the value of a certain setting in the game files themselves.

that helped with most of the problems. id say about....60%. but I still get this horrible stuttering/lag occasionally. so I looked all over the internet and I see that I'm not the only one experiencing this issue!

I see a lot of other players with decent computers that report the same issue!

so I wanted to ask, out of all of you that read this post, can you tell me in the comments if you too experience this issue? and if you know something about HelloGames doing something to address this problem, please do tell.

Exotic Ship Question [Question]

Real dumb question here. I've only been playing for about 900 hours or so, so I'm still a bit of a noob. facedesk

So, I fly into this system and go into the space station and after a moment, a squid ship shows up, (not player owned), so I'm like hooray but I'm in my primary ship so I try to switch ships to trade in one of my other ones, doesn't work, so I mark the system, restart the game, switch ships, go back to the station. 8 hours of waiting later, squid still hasn't shown back up.

So the question is this:

If I see an exotic at a space station, does that mean that the ship is for sure in the pool of ships that can and will show up at landing sights around that system, or are one time only types of encounters a thing?

so ive been having some mission troubles [Question]

i took about a year long break from nms and came back like 3?ish months ago, and ive noticed something, on my main save file i have some mission markers that are on the galaxy map (when i say some, i mean like 10-15) i go to the star systems that have the markers to finish the missions, but i realize that i have no missions whatsoever. so i go to the mission board and start a new type of mission that is the same (hunt depots/deliver item/etc etc) and the marker remains. truthfully it doesnt really impact my gameplay but it bugs the crap out of me seeing them there everytime i go to jump to different systems. im thinking its from last time i played i had to abandon a bunch of missions because they bugged out, uncovering an artifact, delivering an item, etc, they would lead me to a different system but never to a specific point to end the mission, but my question is, has anyone else had this problem? if so was it resolved?

edit, i forgot to mention that i have over 200 hours in this save so id really rather not just delete it and start over and that i am on ps4

Those god damn rocket boots! [Bug]

Okay bug/rant.

I just recently bought the rocket boots, but i cannot believe how irritating they are outside of the anomaly/etc.

It says youll jump forward if you repeatedly press space. BUT this is only true for the first jump....when you repeatedly press space, jump, then keep holding space (cause you know, you are using the jetpack) and your legs touch the ground or any surface, then you will jump/boost again...which will cost you more rocket fuel and probably will mess up your melee boosting (or whatever its called). But i mainly found it irritating when i had to climb mountains. Without the rocket boots you just hold space and slowly will ascend next to the hill you try to climb meanwhile burning almost no fuel. Well with the rocket boots this is no more, your traveller will instead start leapfrogging like a god damn idiot.

Rant over.

Scrapyard on Isso Major in Neilsaran-28 System in Euclid [Build]

I made this some time ago, but come visit my Scrapyard on Isso Major. There's a bunch of stuff just laying around, waiting to be taken, including over 100 crates and barrels. While you are here, check out the little circuit board farm, or maybe go for a ride in one of the exocraft, Don't mind the weather. Your scanner will say it's a nice lush world, but don't be fooled, life here is a little more on the toxic side.

When you are done visiting Isso Major, be sure to take a side trip to the main planet, Nielsaran-28a. There you will find perfect weather, as well as an assortment of flying creatures to behold. Tame one of the butterfly things, or go for a ride on the back of an Interloper'swagen Beetle.

All this and more in the Nielsaran-28 system! But don't forget to check out the Scrapyard first!

Happy travels!

Can mods prevent multiplayer from working properly? [Modding]

But the day i installed it, and the two following days, no players were spawning into the nexus. I removed the mod, and today plenty of people are showing up. So i'm just wondering is the mod responsible for this, or is it just something else?

No danger has gotten boring [Discussion]

I love this game and have 100+ hours in it but at the point I'm at, everything is maxed out and fully upgraded. I even have multiple really nice bases I worked on and I enjoyed making them.

But its all gotten boring now, dangerous environments arent dangerous anymore and sentinels/predators are more like flies than any actual danger now. Nearly everything has lost its mystery and feeling of excitement and danger.

Since there are no more goals and no more dangers to prepare for, and all the ruins and archives are the same, things have gotten very boring just aimlessly wandering the galaxy.

tl;dr: theres nowhere to improve and no new dangers to face and i have gotten very bored but i still want to play the game

(i'm not looking for any specific responses or help with this, i just wanted to vent how i feel about the game as somebody with 100+ hours on a single save.)

Alone Amidst the Stars Investigate the Space Anomaly: Seek help in the search for Artemis. The lifeforms aboard the Space Anomaly may be able to assist. Summon the Anomaly in space by using the quick menu.

I have tried talking to Nada and Polo but they just keep repeating the same sentences and my only option is "leave". I have talked to others on the ship but that doesn't seem to work either. I have exited the game, reloaded saves, left and then re-entered the anomaly, turned of multiplayer, but nothing changes.

About storage silos [Question]

First time I build it, I managed (using batteries) to extend the maxium radius of the base. Then I left the planet and came back to build silos. And…. Nothing. I can’t build nothing after 300u because “base too far”. Why? Is a bug?

My idea to make haulers relevant again. Make them amphibious. [Suggestion]

I've thought that ever since we gained the ability to upgrade the number of storage slots on our star ships, the hauler class has become more or less obsolete. On a recent post someone mentioned that they would love to see a boat exocraft and that got me thinking that since the haulers don't really have anything unique going for them at the moment other than a different aesthetic style, why not make them able to also land on open water and then once landed be able to travel around hovercraft style like the Nomad exocraft? If Hello Games was feeling really crazy maybe even let them submerge in deep water as well? This would allow us to keep the haulers and HG could maybe even include some subtle sea-plane aesthetics into the design of the hauler ships.

Controlling weapons and devices on companions at will

More interactions with companions such as pointing to a specific resource that they will mine

Sprinting for Mech Suits

Brawling with mechs (using fists)

Hovering with jetpacks

Ship interiors for Haulers, Shuttles and Explorers

Visible shields on ships and players

More types of enemies such as a Minotaur type of sentinel, more monstrosities and horrors, maybe some Alien NPC enemies as well

Able to board and clear out enemies on Freighters, Derelict Freighters and freighter wreckages in space and on ground

Procedurally generated derelict freighters

Derelict Freighters on the GROUND

NPC Space Pirates

Missile launcher for Multitool

Ship power managing (able to overload shields, engines and lasers)

Larger outposts and/OR small cities

Boardable Sentinel Freighters

ACTUAL lava planets, I see alot of red water catastrophic planets with volcanoes

Able to use small containers and chests as mobile storage

More sea creatures

Rideable Worms and Birds, making ALL creatures tameable

Portable batteries, introducing battery and electricity farming.

Windmills to power bases during a storm

Fences for bases

Weapon scoping for VR

Little mining tip for VR [Information]

In VR you can melee by holding the grip button and moving your hand - but the movement required is so minimal that you can just vibrate your hand to deliver rapid, surprisingly devastating punches as you move around.

This is extremely useful for mining early on, as you can quickly harvest dihydrogen fields by running through them, or tougher minerals by using the mining laser while punching with your offhand.

This also works as an offhand attack when firing a weapon with your main hand!

Try it out, it is so silly and effective it feels like it might get patched out, but it's one of the few processes that is actually easier in VR.

Combat Improvement Suggestions? [Discussion/Suggestions]

I'm sure we all agree the combat could use a bit of an overhaul. I love every aspect of the game so far, but the boots-on-the-ground combat and even at times space combat can be a bit tedious. I think it's been a good while since the last suggestions thread so I'd love to hear your input.

My ideas are as follows Both you and enemies take increased damage so that combat doesn't drag on, TTK feels too high Reasons to fight, generally combat is mostly a mild annoyance, you hardly ever benefit from it and therefore tend to avoid it where possible. Would be nice if enemies dropped rewards, even if we move toward a bit of a loot system where they'll drop small piles of units or combat upgrades or useful things or just something. Combat lacks feedback in general, perhaps more sparks/other particle effects, maybe more chunks to blow off the enemy, or a great reaction. I honestly don't know how to improve space combat without just replacing it, but perhaps scale could help? We have the tech for fleets and the such but fleet battles are so uncommon, would be really cool to have 2 massive transport ships with fleets of fighters battling eachother and you can take part (or maybe one of them is your fleet!)
