Big thanks to the Anomaly philanthropists. [Discussion]

I'm always alarmed at how cool this community is. I was just afk at the Anomaly for a while and came back to my inventory filled with 8 stacks of Stasis Devices. 78 million units for each stack. Thank you random Interloper!

Are there any "tricks" to building an AI Mining facility? [Question]

I watched a few videos on YT & decided to give this a try. I found a couple of Activated Iridum sites, but when I look for power hot spots or gas hot spots to work with them they are all WAY outside the 300 unit build limit. Seems like a real pain to have to build 3-4 bases just to be able to run power & building solar farms & batteries are a huge expense & waste of materials.

Are there any tricks to find power hot spots that I'm missing?

Freighter Storage [Question]

Just got a new Freighter and I had saved up about 10 bulkheads to use when I got a new freighter.

I was able to use one of them and now the option to upgrade my storage is greyed out and wont let me do it anymore. Is there a limit per day you can use or is it bugged out?

Personal quarters on ships [Suggestion]

This was a expedition 2 character, and i can't get the alone amidst the stars quest. I have the quest "Space anomaly" which says to continue to search for Artemis and to select the "alone amidst the stars" quest in my log. That quest is not in my log. any idea how to get it to trigger?

Freighter Glitch Building help. [Question]

Will try to keep this short. Last month or so I've started to get to grip with glitch building on land bases. Over the last week I finally got my s class freighter. Yaaay! So naturally want this place to be s for spectacular.

Watched a couple of tips etc on YouTube and a few have been showing guides on glitch building to make some cool stuff (warp cores, decorations). They said they were using console, yet no joy for me. Question is, is it possible to glitch build on a freighter? Am I missing something or have I been duped slightly?

Any help would be appreciated.

help? nms vr unplayable/not working [Question]

Hello!

So i have a 2080 super and an oculus quest 2. When i play no man's sky in virtual desktop i can actually get "playable" performance but the image is not smooth and the latency is very high. I would like to play the game with airlink or link but the framerate drops to around 15 fps and the performance headroom goes all the way to like negative 500 (lol). obviously it is unplayable like this for me. anybody have any advice or a solution for this problem? all other vr games i have tried work fine. Thanks again!

My ideas for upgrading sentinels, what do you guys think? [Suggestion]

The current sentinels are practically the equivalent of flies, especially for late game saves and I've been thinking for awhile about how lack luster sentinels are and have come up with some ideas that I think would be fun to make them more of a threat and more present in game.

​ smarter sentinels and more abillities


the sentinels dont do much as they are right now, heres a few ideas that should help them do more

energy blocking construct: all sentinels would be able to build this on anything that gathers energy such as batteries, solar panels, and etc. The speed it takes for them to build this would vary depending on their type, and regardless if they are in combat or not they will attempt to place one on any energy source. A sentinel walker would be capable of letting off short range EMPs to disable energy within an area.

better ai: sentinels literally break if they enter a bass, its pretty sad. They also dont seem to work together very well either, and since they are probably an omnipresent hive mind they should have better teamwork than the korvax. Sentinel walkers and hounds also seem to phase through buildings somehow and thats weird. When you hide from them, they should put more effort into searching as well.

better sentinel freighters: they should be able to be destroyed and should be able to have more powerful and accurate attacks.

better space sentinels: their attacks would be more accurate and do more damage, theyd also be able to dodge your attacks easier and follow you to planets

​ More sentinel types


so currently, we only have 3 types of sentinels (4 counting corrupted ones) and for something that is supposed to be like an omnipresent protector of the universe that feels like far too...

New Player Question [Question]

Very new player here. Just reached the station where I can see other players. At that point the story breadcrumbs are very few and far in-between. Any tips to nudge me in the right direction? At this point I'm just trying to collect all the underground data things I can find to unlock new things to build and selling everything that looks fairly unimportant to build funds.

Fix for stutters/freezes on a PC with a dedicated- and integrated graphics card [Bug]

I have a PC with an Intel 6700K and a Nvidia RTX 2070 Super, so I was surprised when this game was stuttering for 2 seconds or dropping the framerate from 115fps to 15fps in specific situations. I hope this can help some folks out that are also running into these problems on a PC with dGPU (Dedicated Graphics) & iGPU (Integrated Graphics) combined.

If you encounter the following problems this fix might work for you: Get large stutters of ~2 seconds in the loading screen Get stutters while walking on a planet but not while standing still Get stutters while flying in space but not while your spacecraft is not moving Get a terrible framerate while flying above the clouds of a planet but only stutters while flying above the surface (mine went from 110 to 14fps) Have a great framerate while looking at a specific point but get stutters while rotating with the mouse if the TextureStreamingVk setting is set to: On.

But have a great framerate while rotating with the mouse when the TextureStreamingVk setting is set to: Off When the TextureStreamingVk setting is set to Off: Get a great framerate when the TerrainTessellation setting is set to Standard Get a terrible framerate when the TerrainTessellation setting is set to Enhanced

The solution: Don't forget to turn TextureStreamingVk back to On.

This setting is not the problem, the way the game loads textures into memory when you have an integrated GPU is the problem. Restart your PC Press F2 or Del to go into your BIOS/UEFI Change the iGPU Multi-Monitor setting from Enabled to Disabled

On my Asus motherboard BIOS/UEFI located at:

Advanced

Advanced\System Agent (SA) Configuration

Graphics Configuration Save the BIOS/UEFI settings, boot, login and start the game

If the stutters are gone the root cause of the problem is that the iGPU uses a bit of your DRAM. I don't...

Unable to join friend’s game [Question]

Whenever my friend joins me or I him, the game forces us to start a new play through. We are both on Normal and have both updated to the newest update. This is on Xbox Series X. Any tips on how to fix the issue? We played together for the first 150 hours, suddenly can’t now.

What should I do after finishing the story? [Question]

Hey guys! I’ve been playing NMS for around 50-60 hours I believe, finished the story in about 30. This may seem like a dumb question, but aside from scanning and such, what all is there to do? I see a lot of posts with terms I don’t recognize like AI and neural something.

Expeditions 3 predictions: [Discussion]

Here are some of my predictions for the next expedition. (TOTALLY SPECULATION, NO SOLID EVIDENCE)

Released the week of Monday, June 21. We are finished with the community goals and have all rewards unlocked, so it would make sense to see it sooner than later… also I really don’t want to wait another month lol

I think we may get another crossover (maybe Star Trek, Firefly, Elite Dangerous, Star Wars, etc..). The community reaction to the Mass Effect crossover was overwhelmingly positive.

-It will be a long grind to complete, but will lead us into a large August Update.

Again, TOTALLY SPECULATIVE, but I’d love to hear what some of you guys think about the next Expedition?

Permadeath mode should skip the "tutorial" [Discussion]

My first few attempts at Permadeath had a decent roguelike vibe, but after the first three wipes I found that the handfull of mandatory missions that unlock essential crafting recipes and modules gets tedious fast. I lost my first significant, 20+ hour, run today due to what I assume is a glitch and also just straight up bad luck (got yeeted by a bio horror ala Skyrim giant while on empty jets.) I just couldn't bring myself to go through the whole boring repetitive tutorial section again and again, so now I'm playing in Survival mode. I love the idea of Permadeath and it def adds a nice edge to what are otherwise fairly banal encounters in the game. But I think if there was at least an option to skip the tutorial missions it'd be a much better, more roguelike, experience.

What, if anything, would you change about Permadeath or the other modes?

Quicksilver/Nexus Missions Still Suck [Discussion]

I'm 300+ hrs in to my main save. Completed all the Achievements and both Expeditions. Love this game, but man oh man, the Nexus Missions blow chunks.

I actually used to enjoy the old weekend ones (minus the comm-ball spam) as they had a bit of lore/narrative to them.

The pirate hunting one isn't bad, either.

Tame wild animals is ok

Build a base sucks - does anyone actually keep/use these bases? I definitely never have.

Survey A Planet always takes me to freakin death wish planets with 10+ flora, 10+ fauna, and 10+ minerals. It's BRUTAL and boring.

Collect Ancient Bones, Storm Crystals, etc. Again, they always take me to shitty planets. Ultra-hazardous, constant storms, extreme sentinels, etc. It's just not fun to do.

So the missions are either meh or super sucky. But the quicksilver grind sucks, too. 3k quicksilver max per week, and there's at least 10 things in the store that cost over 3,500. Then you add in the endless array of base building parts, cosmetics, etc for 500-1500, and it's just a boring time-gate. It would take at least a year of playing every single day to be able to unlock everything.

A year of playing shitty boring missions on the daily.

I wish they would offer quicksilver as an MTX so I could support the devs and escape this awful part of the game.

Why won’t my extreme survival go up? [Question]

The Select/Tab button defaults to anything BUT my Exosuit Inventory [Question]

Has anyone found a workaround for this yet? Whenever I press the select button to open my inventory it'll either open my Ship inventory, Multi-tool, or Exocraft inventory, never my Exosuit, which is what I'm trying to access 95% of the time I press open my inventory.

I see older posts (from 2019) about this and none of the suggestions work for me. Pinning a recipe doesn't work. Recharging my life support or shield doesn't work. I was okay dealing with this for awhile but it's starting to get reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeally old. Pls help.

Anyone on PlayStation able to help me transfer some items? [Question]

I have a permadeath character that is about 8 hours along, and I'd like to transfer a few things over from my main character. I'm happy to give anyone that helps something nice. Void egg, rare materials, or something that sells for a few million.

Ghost in the Machine mission bug (help) [Bug]

So, since I haven't bought a new multi-tool I haven't installed the bolt caster module. So I decided to blow open the door to the secret korvax facility with my spaceship and try to complete it that way. I got in, did the dialogue, and euthanized the creature but the mission won't progress. I can re- blow open the door with the bolt caster because it is already gone. What should I do here?

I JUST LOST A MONTHS WORTH OF PROGRESS HELP? [Question]

I have been playing this game for about 2 months. Within the last month, I've made so much progress and bought several ships. I logged into the game today and it says my last save is May 17th.

Greetings! Just dropping in to send a message to any and all travelers who may be frustrated, lost, or maybe just need a little boost. In game I'm Bad_Skorpion-YT (friend code IS HXMP-TPJ8-N8EPG) If anyone has questions or needs any in game item or maybe Units or Nanites or whatever, feel free to add me and we will meet in game. (I play on normal mode and I haven't found a way to transfer my inventory to other game modes so survival and permadeth players wouldn't be able to receive anything). If I can assist anyone out there, don't hesitate to message me.

Question regarding discovering and uploading [Question]

So I've recently picked up the game yet again, and I've run into this issue where I am exploring a system, I visit every planet, and then when I move on in my journey and return to the system later, some of those planets are 'undiscovered' and grayed out. Even if I've scanned the fauna/flora or what have you. It just all disappears. I don't upload my discoveries immediately, but it isn't occurring in every system, I don't think. Do you have to upload before you leave? I don't want to leave half explored systems everywhere lol.

Crashed ships no longer respawn [Bug]

Like many others here, when I get a new ship that I want to fill the slots in I scrap s class crashed ships. For months I've been going back to the same sites to pick them up, because they respawn.

I've been playing the past two days desperately trying to find a crashed ship. Every single site I visit the ship isn't there, even with multiplayer disabled. All the old sites I left bases at aren't respawning even though they reliably did for months beforehand.

Is anyone else experiencing this?

Supporting No Man's Sky as made indie studio Hello Games worth well above 100 million USD [Discussion]

No Man's Sky has been a one time purchase since it was launched 5 years ago. How can Hello Games continue to update the game without charging a single dollar? Is it sustainable? I have been wondering about this a lot. I did some digging and these are some of the things I was able to find.

Launch: According to Superdata article, No Man's Sky made 78 Million USD from digital sales during the first month of the launch. (No man's sky also had a physical retail launch). (My guess is during launch year, it generated around 100-130 Million USD revenue (not profit))

Now hard facts, looking at the Hello Games' (No man's sky developer) financials, just before January 2018 (1 and half year after launch) they had roughly 82 million USD cash left. out of which half 41 million was taken out of the company for something (to buy office space? long term investment? cash payout to founders? I don't know). So January 2018 in hello games company had 41 million USD cash. In late Summer 2018, came the first Big "Next" update, which generated roughly 35 million USD by October 2018. In summer 2019, came the "Beyond" update which generated 25 million USD.

As of October 31 2019 (3 years after launch. and last publicly available financial), they have around 100 million USD cash left. They have a burn rate of 6.2 million USD a year (salary + admin). This means without additional money, they can keep updating no man's sky for 16-17 years. (Not to say that they should update no man's sky that long. They have already gone above and beyond of what's expected)

2020 and future: No man's sky surely made significant money in 2020 with "Origin" update. (How much would be know around October this year when the next filing will be...

Teleporting in Multiplayer question [Question]

Playing multiplayer with 2 other friends today and had an issue where one guy teleported back to his home world then was unable to get back to the system we were in. No teleportation option from his base or from the other system space station to get back. We are all new to the game and couldn't figure it out. Is this normal? Was he supposed to have an option to teleport back to us? He never did get back before we stopped for the night

Someone took their portal away and stranded me on the planet [Question]

I've only been playing for a week or so in total. I just made it to some space station where there were lots of different people and a portal you could use to go to other planets. Well, I went to one and was mostly alone except one guy who I guess owned the planet because he deconstructed the base and portal and left me all alone with no ship and no way of getting off. I had to reload my last manual save which took me back soooo far. Is there a way to avoid this in the future?

There should be nonhazardous weather on planets [Suggestion]

I think it would be great if planets would have more weather variety, especially from the less dangerous kind.

Rain effects are already implemented in the game, and reflections are prettier than ever since Prisms, so why don't we have mild rains sometimes for a change? These rains could have the same cloud effects as storms but without the heavy wind and fog, and of course without the added pressure on life support.

The same could go for arctic planets: It would be nice to have a base on a planet where occasional snowfall occurs which looks peaceful. Imagine sitting at the fireplace with snow falling outside! :)

I recently landed on a paradise planet, everything is perfect, and storms are scarce. But it just breaks the immersion when on an otherwise peaceful and temperate planet suddenly a red warning sign says "SUPERHEATED RAINSTORM APPROACHING" and all hell breaks loose. Visibility drops to zero, temperature goes above 100°C (wtf?), and I have to run for my life. It just doesn't make sense.

Categories for resources [Question]

In games like these I tend to be a bit of a neat freak when it comes to how my resources are stored, I like everything to have its own specific place so I can find it easy. With that being said, I'm wondering if anyone in the community knows of a way I can divide all my resources (including components and exo/multi-colour mods) into 10 categories so I can have one storage room for each. I've been thinking about it for a while and beyond colour I cant think of another way (and even colour is tricky cause you can have something like cobalt which is blue but then also dehydrogenase jelly which is Also blue but had a redish background). Just trying to sooth my inner OCD.

Taming flying pets [Question]

Hello, just wondering how you can tame flying pets ingame. All of the flying pets ive encountered so far since Prisms launched are flying super high up and I cant reach them.

I saw un the creature description that there is a favourite food mentioed, but Iam failing to lure it with it as I can drop it in the floor, only discard.

All those youtubers covering the game simply do not answer these questions (ive seen dozen videos already) they just cut out the vid before the taming itself (dont really understand why...), so the only sucessful tame I saw was the Beetles which are on the ground - but Iam failing to find those + Iam aiming for some bigger bird / dragon like creature.

Please share your taming experiences for flying mounts! Thanks!

Refining in survival mode = stupid game design [Bug]

I've been enjoying survival mode a lot, and I don't mind the small stack sizes at all; I actually find it better in terms of game balance and challenge than normal mode. But what annoys the shit out of me is trying to refine stuff. There the small input/output stack sizes are just stupid and irritating design, and don't really make any in-game sense or increase difficulty. All they do is increase annoyance. Especially because I can deep-deposit mine stuff at just the same rate as normal mode. So I end up with loads of minerals that just take huge amounts of tedious, pointless, boring labour to transform into other materials.

I can't imagine there is currently any solution to this except to run around between lots of refiners juggling stacks and turning refiners on over and over again, but it is just so enraging that I had to vent about it.

A couple of more newbie questions [Question]

Thanks much for answering in my earlier thread. Now since i played some more i have another questions if you don't mind me asking: By chance (i noticed a werd icon on my radar) I saw someone's grave on a random (?) planet and it gave me a glyph. Are those graves set on random planets, or do i have to specifically go somewhere to get them? I hear that thanks to collecting them i will be able to visit different places in the galaxy. But how does travelling using glyphs work? Is it similar to warps? I'm 1/3 in the atlas path and dunno where in the artemis questline (a relic gate transported me to a system with atlas station so i went with that). I presume it won't lock me off of anything if I do the atlas path first? I often see posts mentioning some exotic (not only that) ship and coordinates where to see it, but how/where do i enter the coordinates? sorry if it may sound stupid, i still have one ship and know only how jump from system to system. currently busy farming for that s-class freighter Related to the previous one, when i see a post with a ship in some system does that mean each system/station has already set number and/or types of ships in it? So if someones mention a nice ship they found somewhere, it'll be there (e.g on space station)? Is there one anomaly for all players? I'm seeing 15-20 people on average in there? Isn't that a bit small number? I don't know. When I go to teleport in anomaly, I can see some featured places. Are they just currently popular someone's bases or what? Can I go there to hang out or can I do more in there?

That's all for now, thanks in advance, and sorry if these were asked before.

Livestock Harvester Broken... WHY? [Question]

Why am I expected to sit near my livestock harvester? If I leave the planet just to go to another in the same system, or go to my freighter, the nexus and especially warp somewhere it empties my livestock harvester and my feeder - every time.

Same thing with nutrient processors and refiners and my mineral extractors. I've tested this several times and it's Beyond frustrating.

PSA: The First Traveller Quest Bug [Bug]

Null gives a quest to look for a crashed freighter, and then you need to go through the cargo to get encrypted data for the Beacon. After that, you move on with your life.

But if you don't go to the crash site, or you go there and leave, there will no longer be a quest marker and it becomes a frustrating series of headaches. You cannot restart the quest from your log. I read people going to different crash sites but I had no luck with that. I did fix it though.

Delete any log decryption items you looted from the cargo holds and go to the nexus. Teleport to a different player's base and odds are good that it will be far enough away that you can restart the quest from your log. Make sure you have enough material on you to repair five cargo holds.

Alternatively, if you dont have MP enabled, you can keep warping until you are far enough away to restart the quest but this is a considerable distance.

The quest will pick back up with you speaking to null and he gives you the freighter objective.

Hire an armourer. Nms [Information]

I'm new to nms. I'm about 70 hours in. I've come to the side mission for, expanding the base. I am at the point where I have built the weapons terminal and am now searching for the armourer. I have the mission ticked. I have completed all available missions for the Overseer and the scientist up to this point. So, in the galaxy map, I can see the gun symbol. Warp to that system. Follow that symbol into the station. Then it's gone. Looking around for the symbol, I can see that it now is telling me to leave the station. I do, immediately after flying out I can see that the symbol now says to go back inside. Anyway, I have walked the station and spoken to each and every Vy'keen. I am unable to complete this mission. I have tried every solution that can be searched in other nms posts online. Watched all relevant videos. So far, no "SOLUTION" has done any good. Can someone tell me if there is a work around?

Suggestion [Suggestion]

Been thinking about a new feature for the game- on non creative modes- to allow the unlocking of base parts, modules to carry over from one save to another. For example, if I get all the base parts in one save and want to start a new save or my save get corrupted- we should have the option to keep our unlocks so we don’t necessarily need to re-unlock them. This could be optional. Nothing else would transfer over- no ships, no funds, nothing. Just give us the ability to unlock things once across multiple saves on a copy of the game— could track that by log in. Thoughts?

Biological Armor [Suggestion]

So, something NMS is severely lacking is more suit variety. We've got living ships, organic multitools, weird crabbugmeat pets and biological horror heads. But we don't have any crunchy meaty carapace armor suits. I want some organic armors that match my living ship, horrific head and toothy gun.

Thats it. Simple. Just some more (organic) variety for suits.

CPU running way hotter than usual only when playing this game [Question]

My cpu normally runs at like 73C max when playing games, but any time I play NMS, in the first 5 minutes of playing the cpu goes to 80C and playing longer makes it go like 84+C. My CPU is an I7-7700k that's clocked at 4.5ghz. I've played loads of games that are much more cpu demanding than nms, but this is the only game where this happens. Is there anything I could do to make it better?

Give Animals a break!! [Suggestion]

They are constantly moving and unnaturally so. They are currently the most immersion breaking part of No Man's Sky. Let them lie down and chill by the side of the water for a few minutes, they've earned it.

Any modders / modding communities you know of? Would like to get involved! [Modding]

Hey guys,

I'm approaching the last year of my computer science bachelor's degree and would like to put my skills to something good. I got some spare time as well because i have 2.5 months of summer break soon.

I know there are no publicly available official toolchains and editors for NMS, but i want to try make some more ambitious mods (something like a new ship class, in-game ship editor, flyable/landable freighters, adding back the big pre-release buildings). First of all i need to know whats even possible and what's not. I'd love to get to know some ppl (ideally from this community) to help me ease in to the whole topic. Ideally after NMS 4.0 drops, i can pick up work on the things HG didnt already implement themselves.

Greetings from Switzerland!

Suggestion: Adding base computer feature to improve liveliness in your base. [Suggestion]

I don't know if this has been proposed before so I'm sorry if it has been.

You know how the npc's on the space station are just there, not really doing anything complex on an interactive level? How cool would it be if there was a feature on your base computer which would allow you to turn on (and off) friendly npc's for your base? I'm sure the code for the space station npc's can be applied to the base somehow? It would be cool to simply have other people in your base checking out the trade terminal, sitting on couches, checking their tablets etc. It would add so much to the game but I have no idea how complex it is to add such a feature and if Hello Games is willing to do so.

I personally like building bases and I've seen a lot of bars, towns, and skyscrapers which would look way more lively with some people in them.

Now I am curious about your ideas and what to add to improve immersion. Let's hope someone at Hello Games sees this and picks it up.

Any way to use PS4 controller with NMS VR via Steam? [Question]

Hello all. Long time NMS player (since launch day, in fact), but it's usually been on PS4. I recently acquired a second-hand Oculus Rift setup, and after several days of cursing and swearing, it finally produces a nice VR environment on my home computer. I installed SteamVR and can run the game properly (still need to tweak the settings), but there's one thing I haven't figured out yet: is it possible to use a PS4 controller instead of the Oculus Touch controllers?

In the virtual Steam environment, I can use the DualShock4 controller to move around, point at things, select options, etc. But when I try to run NMS, an error message pops up, stating that I don't have a valid controller.

Is there any hope for me? Would replacing the DS4 with an XBox controller help? Or am I going to have to learn a whole new set of actions for the Touch controllers?

Thanks in advance for all the help.

Starbirth Glitch [Question]

Hey everyone! Sorry to be a bother but I’ve had my living egg since the quest series released. I’ve gotten all the components, and I’m on the quest “Flesh On Metal Bones”. It’s calling me to a planet in the Euclid area, which I never left, but it won’t give me coordinates or anything when I zoom around different galaxies with my thrusters.

It won’t let me reset the quest and I can’t destroy the egg, because it just respawns in my inventory. I’m working on getting the quicksilver I need to buy a new egg altogether, but just in case, has anyone else had this issue and gotten it fixed?

A question about multiplayer/servers/the universe and it all works [Question]

Hi, (sorry for the long long post) I’m not exactly completely new to NMS, I played a few times around 2/3 maybe even 4 years ago I can’t entirely remember, however I recently picked up the game again for the first time in ages and had been playing for around 35 hours on Xbox One.

I haven’t played again for nearly 3 weeks now though due to being busy, but I remember around this time I ran into a player built base in a nearby system. I have not warped far from my starting system at all so this surprised me slightly. I explored a little then left. Not long after this I went to another system not far from my starting system and encountered a player who had a very small base. I approached the player and they seemed as surprised as me as they just ran off and didn’t stop despite my friendly waves and walking in circles.

This made me ask the question, and after seeing certain comments on builds of players saying they will pay a visit to other players builds, does everybody on each platform share the same galaxy/universe? If so is it rare that I found two player builds and a player in nearby systems so early? The scale of NMS is still hard for me to comprehend lol and having not played in a long time, I feel so far behind like Brooksy from The Shawshank Redemption when he finally gets released to society

How do I get rid of animal companions? I took 3 for a ride but can't do any more until I dump one but can't find where to remove them. I hope I don't have to go back to the original planet because I have no idea where that is now.

Cube rooms and terrain regeneration. [Question]

I've not seen an answer to this question so thought I would ask it again..

The community seems to feel that using the terrain manipulator to build a base into the terrain is a bad idea as the terrain will regenerate over time and fill your base.

It used to be the case that using cube rooms set into the terrain will be safe from this as they are designed for base building. Is this still the case?

Has anyone built into the ground or a mountainside by using cube rooms directly (without removing terrain first) or is it the case that the terrain will still fill your cube rooms?

Thanks for any replies.

Please add A. I. to fauna! [Suggestion]

With all the improvements to the game, especially in graphical department, the animals in the game are now the most immersion breaking thing in No Man's Sky. Animations are awful and/or amateurish at best snd them having no a. I. (havin walking patterns is hardly a. i.) is increasingly jarring, shocking actually, given that they are such a massive factor of the game experience. After all that should be one of the core exploration elements - to find unique species of animals on strange and distant worlds.

I know that this will be met with starch opposition here, because any kind of perceived negativity is cultishly frowned upon, but I would even argue that HelloGames should be downright embarassed that the ingame fauna still only knows how to walk and that's it. And that is after 16 updates of mostly useless fluff added.

Companions and accessories? What triggers them and what are their uses? [Question]

I will start by saying I absolutely love companions and will continue to use them even if they have no practical use. I apologize for how long this turned out everything I try to write lately seems to turn into an essay, but anyway:

Do the accessories actually do anything? The description of the qs ones imply they do but I couldn’t find any information on what the energy coil actually does and after buying the I think rounded laser I’m not seeing my pet assist with mining at all?

I also have a T. rex like pet with 100% aggression, I noticed him killing some wild animals after they attacked me and occasionally running off to destroy hazardous flora. But when sentinels attacked me he just stood there. After a while he did then attack and kill 1 or 2 of them but that’s it.

What does it take for him to help in combat? Is he not actually supposed to, in which case aggression is pointless? Can he be hurt, do I have to worry about them fighting back and killing him? Do different animals have different stats? I attached the I believe square laser and was surprised to see him actually fire it but he has since stopped doing his little melee attack animation and still seems to only use them when close enough that he could have hit them anyway. Does the laser change/improve his functionality? Does it change his damage, range, or likelihood of attacking or does it just change the animation when he does attack?

Need help starting a new game. [Question]

Hi everyone. No man's sky is probably the coolest game I've ever played that I can't seem to be able to play for long.

One save I played almost 10 hours and the other save around 6. Now I just started a new save since I can't remember the controls and there is so many new things.

The problem is each time I go to the point where I build a little base and build a stargate. But after that I go all over the place and lose interest almost instantly.

I know I would love the game if I put more effort in it but movements are so slow, I keep having to refuel my ship, when Its not sentinels making it a pain exploring.

Is there a guide somewhere which explains what to do in the game and where to go to upgrade my components to make everything to faster than a snail. I see people with huge bases and cool vehicules, but even in 10 hours I never even seen a mention of those things.

I'm really looking with a guide to get me started.

Thanks a lot guys. It's the game I feel I've been waiting since forever, but I can't seem to enjoy it for more than a couple hours.

Starting to loathe this game [Discussion]

Honestly I love NMS, right up until the point where I can now head to another galaxy and decided I'd wait and fill up my freighter inventory with the Activated Indium I've been collecting. So I'd check the game every 3 hours as that's that's my collector's were full and harvest the sweet nectar from within. Now this is where my growing hatred started. I had collected maybe 200k (21 hours of waiting, saving after every harvest) and suddenly the game crashes, I reload it to find it hadn't bothered realising I had saved the game and all the indium I had collected was gone. Its continued to do this to me about 4 times now. I'm starting to think the Euclid Galaxy doesn't want me to leave. But I'm also starting to get pissed off.

Riding creature despawns if I let it fly/run/walk on its own for too long. [Bug]

Seems to be consistent and seems to not happen nearly as much when I'm steering back and forth instead of letting them just go straight like id prefer. Not sure what is causing this glitch but the creature just simply despawns and im simply left falling through the space that used to be the pet i was just riding on lol. I can immediately re-summon the creature when this happens and continue on my journey. The other important thing is that it seems to happen increasingly often with increasingly size-modified creatures. my size-maxed beetle suffers from this glitch all the time but my original default size beetle only gets it after a minute or so of letting it fly itself forward instead of holding the w key/controlling it

I landed in a space station (that didnt look like any space station ive been to in my 100+ hrs) and when i exited my spaceship i got stuck in the wall, and i reloaded about 15 times and it happened every time, and couldnt move at all (and i havent done a manual save in about 15hrs of gameplay which was stupid), so after panicking a bit i tried everything i could, and figured out that switching the camera moves the character a bit and repeating this got me out, i dont know if this is a known thing, but i hope thisll help someone else too.

A couple of questions about freighter/frigates [Question]

I hope you don't mind me asking maybe obvious questions but I've just got my first freighter (after 30 hours in) and there are some things I don't understand: How does exactly freighter works? I mean I know it can serve as your mobile base, you can build in it and stuff, but how mobile is it? Can you "lose" it, i mean does it warp together with your starship or when you're using teleport does it move with you just like your starship? Or can you leave it several systems back just to never find it again? (because of no fuel etc.) As soon as I got my freighter some ships jumped in the system. Several frigates and two small freighters. I can see the stats of for example frigate but what does for exmple 7% on the attached screenshot mean? Is that the experience till next level? Apart from that, are there any negative traits in this offer? For me it doesn't look like it. Can you have more than one freighter in your fleet? I saw two that appeared were available to buy.

That's all for now, and sorry for spamming this board with questions ;_;

Ship stats [Question]

I was wondering how ship stats are working, so i tried to gather stats of the exact same ship for more than 2 hours (my sleeping schedule is broken now).

Having a weird bug? Maybe? With the Artemis path. Can't seem to reset the quest. [Bug]

So I've had this bug since... Next? Probably? Maybe the patch after, but A Long While.

The short version is I'm stuck on The First Traveler quest, where you find the location of a portal and have the charge it to learn the glyph sequence. My quest marker is stuck on a Monolith where I can ask the location of the portal, but when I do, it gives me the location of the portal on the planet, but doesn't actually update my quest marker to be there. If I go and charge the glyphs, nothing happens. If I take a blackhole, I don't get the option to reset the quest. I even took several black holes is succession, and still didn't get the option.

Has anyone experienced this before? Or have any idea how to force a quest to reset? I'm kinda at a loss, since I don't know of any way to handle a quest bug other than to reset it.

Below is a picture of the exact objective sequence I have in my quest log.

“Inizialize” bug? [Bug]

A NMS friend of mine (on xbox) has joined me (i’m in ps4) for some Coop play. All plain and simple. Then he left the game for an hour and then he rejoins multiplayer and only get the “inizialize” screen, without the choice of the save slot. Once he press the button, he’s without any technology or items with the ship wrecked. If he goes on solo play, he have all his stuff back. Any chance to know what’s happening? Apologize for any error, I’m Italian!

PS5 crashing fairly often anyone? [Bug]

I have submitted a bug report on the official link within the sticky. But wondering if it's just me as there are not a lot of posts since the latest update came out.

PS5 crashing pretty frequently, game just freezes and I have to quit the game and restart it. It happens most to least frequently in the following order. When warping, When using teleporters, Using a buy terminal, When coming into land at my base.

I'm about 50 hours in if it matters, but this has been happening throughout, I am having to constantly save every couple of minutes or when I do something substantial, rather immersion breaking sadly.

Any other PS5 users having these issues?

Poor stability after last week's patch [Bug]

I play on PS4 Slim, and I've always had great stability, only having crashed twice before. However, after last week's patch (3.53 I believe), I have been getting frequent crashes. This could be when activating portals, loading derelict freighters, basebuilding, or even just cruising around at the Galactic Hub.

Anybody else been getting similar issues? I don't want to accidentally lose my save or something because of a crash.

Tried many times, finally stuck [Discussion]

I was so excited about the premise of the game, got it years ago on PC. Tried getting into it several times but could never get into it, just wasn't fun for me.

Tried again years later when it came to Xbox Game Pass.

Given the recent updates, I've stuck with it. Have barely finished the starting missions, just got my third base setup, one on a different planet. My latest location has more iron than I can mine, appropriately named it Iron Farm.

I'm thankful for all of the changes, upgrades, etc. Glad I stuck with it.

I'm still learning a lot, watching videos on how to get started like how to get exocrafts.

I have a question about a potential glitch and how to fix it. [Bug]

I recently just purchased my second void egg and was super excited to acquire my second living ship. I knew what colors I wanted so when I got to it and it wasn't that color I declined that ship and restarted my hunt. My void egg the second time took me to the same spot as the first, but now it's not there and I can't reset the mission (or I don't know how). Is there a fix for this? Has it happened to one of you? Please feel free to share below.

Is there a fix for the insane crashing since the recent update? [Question]

Hoping there is some sort of fix out there and I’m not just screwed. I have been having an absurd amount of crashes since the most recent update and they seem to be increasing with each passing day (version 3.53). Today, every time within an hour of playing I am back to Home Screen (PS4 if that matters). This is happening on single player, multi player, at my larger bases, on barren planets I’ve yet to build on. In space, on frieghter, on space station. You name it, I will crash during it.

It has gotten to the point that it is unplayable. Attempting to build a base today, I have lost my progress at least 10 times and the frustration is at a boiling point for sure. I’m to the point where I’m ready to just be done with this game until it updates, but I’m hoping there is something that can be done to help. I cannot find anything so my hopes are not high but I figured it was best to take to Reddit and ask before I write off NMS for the time being.

I've Just Got To Say [Suggestion]

Keeping it short I'm pretty blown away with where NMS is right now. I've played since launch and I know it's been said before but I need to reiterate how much this game has improved. Friggin' wow!

With that in mind. I see so much more in the potential. I think the game is in a state or close to it, where some of this may actually be possible! Some of you will hate it but man it'd be fun: PVP zones/systems/etc. Factions fighting over the rarest of materials in these zones. Frieghter battles. Base attacks/defense. I know some of you will say this goes against the essence of NMS. Surely it'd be optional, but man it'd be epic!

Great job Hello Games. You can't deny how cool it would be! I'll happily give you another $60 for such features. :-)

Trophies haven't popped - any way to rectify? [Question]

Hi all,

I'm playing on PS5. I seem to be having a lot of issues with glitched trophies in NMS sadly. I've spoken to 95 aliens and reached milestone 10 but NONE of the achievements for this have popped. Likewise I've learned 82 words but the silver achievement for this hasn't popped (although the bronze one did). Does anyone have any idea why or what I can do to make them pop retrospectively?

Uploaded base complexity [Question]

Hoping to learn from someone who's been there, done that…

I have a base I'd like to upload, and a couple more that are getting close, but they're rather large, complex creations and I'm not really sure how the base-part limit works. Am I correct in understanding that there's a limit of 300 parts? If my base is over that, will it refuse to upload, or upload but not display correctly? If it does upload and others are seeing it in a mangled state, will it still display correctly for me? And (sorry if I've missed something incredibly obvious here) is there a display somewhere that will tell me exactly how many parts I've used?

Let us post photomode pics at communication stations! [Suggestion]

Just had this idea, I think it would be cool to have the ability to post screenshots from photo mode at communication stations instead of just messages.

I know most people probably wouldn’t but I play single player mostly and would like the idea of leaving little photos I took at places so people can find nice vistas and memories as (if) they travel in my footsteps.

Could something like this be added in future ?

#

Galaxy Jumping Technology [Suggestion]

Woud be great if we had a way to jump to any galaxy at will. Portals get us around anywhere within the same galaxy, but what if you want to get to another galaxy far from the one you are in.

Say you see a post on here of the perfect multi tool or ship you are after and you are in say Eissentam galaxy, but its in galaxy 221 for example, or you see a base you want to visit, a great planet, see some fauna someone posted, whatever it may be, but its several galaxies away.

How are you going to get there easily? are you really going to jump thru the centre of 200 or so galaxies ? Thats very time consuming, and breaking tech constantly, it would be a drag. no one really wants to have to go thru all that.

You might be lucky and be able to join a game if someone is in that galaxy u know, or maybe fluke seeing a base on the anomaly.

If we gained this ability, it should be after completing some of the start of the game, say only once you have jumped thru your first galactic centre and also birthed a star on the atlas for example.

Maybe we could interact with the atlas or it house some sort of new tech that is a galaxy dialer, or have a new device to dial a galaxy on the anomaly, or space stations, not fussed where.

It was great they removed portal interferance and opened up visiting anywhere, now just need to open the rest of the games destinations for easy travel.

Updating an uploaded base [Question]

Greetings Travellers!

My friend and I are playing in parallel on the same planet.

I thought it would be cool to upload an indium refinery for him to use when we aren't playing at the same time ( different schedules ).

If I upload the refinery mark 1, then he visits the world, then I upload the refinery mark 2, does his world automatically see the changes?

I added a super cool space house for us but he doesn't see it. Is a planet "version" locked once you visit? Or will the bases update themselves from the servers?

He isn't seeing the changes I've made (and uploaded).

Significant FPS Drops [Question]

I have been trying to get a steady decent frame rate on the steam version of NMS, but nothing I try has worked. My hardware isn't too terrible: 1070ti, FX 6300 @ 4GHz, 16GB DDR3-1600, but I hover around 60fps then drop randomly every few seconds to ~10fps, especially when running around the first planet. I'm playing at 1080p, standard graphics settings.

Following another guide, I updated the drivers for my 990FX motherboard's PCI Bus, SMBus and IDE/ATA controller. I then tried changing the NumHighThreads and NumLowThreads in TKGRAPHICSSETTINGS.MXML, but when I save that file then launch the game and close it again, those values revert back to their default every time (NumHighThreads=4, NumLowThreads=4). Has anyone else experienced this problem before?

Companions as combat pets? How? [Question]

I don't need random tiny piles of resources or a slower travel alternative to exocraft. I need a badass beast partner.

When your freighter is in your current system your exploration frigates should help you locate and discover flora/fauna [Suggestion]

Similar to how your combat frigates help you in a fight when you're freighter is in the same system as you, other frigates should be hands-on and helpful as well. I believe the exploration frigates could use a buff in that aspect by either discovering planetary data such as minerals, rare animals, and plantlife. Possibly even entering low orbit around the planet you're on and sending research crews to the surface.

Consoles seriously need text chat! [Discussion]

I just got kicked out of a daily QS mission group by PC players due to not answering them in the hecking chat! All I could do was "Yes!" or "Not right now" and all the other default emotes.

Possible bug with the First Traveler quest [Bug]

So I'm to the point where you have to look around the crashed freighter for the cargo boxes to read the data log, I've found 2/3 and opened every box but can't find one with another log. If I leave and come back I can open all the containers again but they just take my materials and then have nothing inside. I've looked around some on other forums and posts where people had similar issues and said to do things like finding a freighter on another planet and finding all it's cargo to fix the original one the mission makes you do but that hasn't worked. I've also torn apart almost the entire area around the freighter thinking maybe it's just glitched somewhere underneath but still no luck. Just wondering if anyone else has had an issue like this and if so how you fixed it?

The First Traveller: Null, the Stranger: Objective 3, locate the Crashed Freighter. Game halting bug [Bug]

Hello all, I'm currently going through the "main mission" of the game and are stuck due to a bug on the listed missiom above.

The issue is that the "approximate location" mission marker is under the mesh/bedrock and I cannot continue, I can see the freighter, I did one cargo pod to see if it would update the mission (nope). Other things I did include.

•Going to a system to change the mission location does nothing, as it tells me to consult the galaxy map

•Going to a system and back to see if this refreshes the mission did nothing.

•Reloading an Autosave moved the marker above ground, but I cannot get a location signal.

•Reloading a Manual save from an hour ago from before the observatory, put's me back in the original state.

•Reloading an Autosave after above Manual save does the same as the autosave prior.

I'm open to any suggestions. Or better, a solution.

Why is this planet in black and white now? [Question]

So I just recently came back to the game after a very long period. Before I left I was making this giant pyramid base that was going to be gold on the outside. It's huge! I did this on the single player campaign mode. When I teleported to the base everything was black and white. At first I was thinking it might have been a bug so I left the planet into space and everything had color once I got put of the atmosphere. I went back to the planet and once again it was black and white. This is pretty disappointing because this planet was paradise. The gold aesthetic was awesome! Lots of resources and great weather. With the new updates did it change how some planets atmospheres works with its star or stars in the solar system you're in? Thanks for any answers or explanations.

Possible to stop other players "visited systems" from showing up in your own list? [Question]

I can't be the only one who's driven up the wall by this. As soon as I visit the anomaly my visited systems list goes from systems I've actually visited to a massive polluted list of systems where I've never been but some rando that was in the anomaly with me has been. It makes browsing your list incredibly cumbersome especially if you're trying to go back to find the location of something.

Is it possible to disable this beyond turning of multiplayer? You'd think "systems visited" would only show systems you've actually visited. That's how it should work anyways.

Combat Update [Suggestion]

I think the game needs a better pvp system, as pve gets stale after a few hundred (or thousand) hours. I was thinking of something like this:

  • Players need to be able to form a faction: shared buildings, seperate account for the faction to buy

things from, event log (similar to ARKs tribelog), shared discoveries and maybe a seperate chat.

  • A massive buff to (player owned )freighters: more damage, more health, different customizable

turrets (laser beam, laser projectile, rocket), utility attachements (hyperdrive blocker or similar),

because they are currently way to easy to take down.

A change to freighter limits in a System 2 big and 5 small per faction for example, giving smaller

freighter types a use in pvp scenarios.

More uses for Frigates, like protecting/blocking a planet, mining asteroids, repair/refuel other

frigates, discover planets and their flora/fauna, following set trade routes, all organized from the fleet

command room.

The ability to group freighters in mega fleets for coordinated warps and moving of freighters to a

planets orbit without leaving it.

Frigates actually helping you against pirates, not just watching you doing the work.

  • New/changed base modules: Turrets, different hitpoints for different structures (can be damaged

with plasma launcher, geocannon, rockets), forcefields.

  • A new way to start pvp to prevent chaos and griefing: A faction can purchase systems in the space

station (removing sentinels and increasing the amount of pirates) and set a tax giving them a share

of all buys/sells. Depending on the height of the tax pvp is possible (or not). I was thinking of

0-2% no pvp, 2-10% pvp can be decleared by another faction and the owning faction has 24h to

accept it or turn it down after, 24h it gets turned down, 11-20% same, but after 24h it gets accepted,

20%+ pvp is always on and piracy...

Health HUD in VR? [Question]

Is there a way to look up health in NMS while in Steam VR? It only shows briefly while I'm taking damage. Also, can it be brought up permanently?

An Intergalactic Real Estate Market [Suggestion]

I think it would be great if the Nexus included a hub where people could buy and sell bases. The room for creativity in NMS has increased dramatically, and I think it would be really satisfying to be able command high real estate prices for putting a lot of effort into finding the perfect planet, and putting out unique buildings.

I made this suggestion years ago, when base building elements were first being added to NMS, and the general consensus was that the idea flew in the face of the spirit of the game (which at the time focused almost entirely on being a solitary explorer of the universe). The game has changed tremendously since then, and given the increased emphasis on community interaction, I wanted to hear everyone's opinions again.

What do you find first? Power source or base? [Question]

Found myself a lush planet and decided to make it my home, trouble is the 2 “S” class hotspots I’ve found are in terrible places, nothing scenic around them for miles. On the other side of the planet it’s got lush green grass and woods. So do I just build my base in the scenic area and worry about finding a hotspot afterwards?

How to dump inventory to freighter? [Question]

Hello!

When I come back from my adventures my inventory is full in both the General and the Cargo tabs of my suit. How can I dump all that in my freighter's containers where such items already are? If I simply quick transfer to the freighter, it just puts them in the General tab of the freighter. If I quick transfer them to storage containers it just put them in the first available container instead of the one when the item already is. On top of that, if I go to each container manually, I can't even see my suit's Cargo tab so I first have to dump all the stuff from my General tab, then transfer the Cargo tab to General, then transfer that to the container. Am I missing something?

Thanks!

I've lost a ship... [Question]

Hello, I'm pretty new to No man's sky. I found a pretty solid stranded ship (the one you find while doing the mission with artemis so pretty much at the start) and I was going to repair it. I've done some things but headed back to my base to get more stuff and then decided to quit for the evening. Today I logged back in and boom. The waypoint I set with the scanner was deleted and I have no idea where that ship is now. Is there any way to located it? It even shows in my shiplist, but I can't call it, because it's damaged... Pls help

Companion tools or storage [Question]

My kid recently got me to play the game again. She showed me the pets/companions. Asked if there was a way to use the storage you equip on them. Both our searching came back empty.

Are the equipable items just decoration or can they be used?

How quickly does your pet respond to a threat? [Discussion]

My oldest pet is 4.0m tall and is slow as heck but all the way loyal and ferocious etc as she is a third gen companion. If she is right beside me, another fauna can take three or four swipes at me before I am rescued(I don’t need help of course, this is just a test). My brand new beast that doesn’t think about me much and is 1.2m tall will deal with it after the second swipe.

Conclusion, my big pet is good for recon. A smaller pet is a better right-hand-man.

Discuss.

Hard limit of 50 warp destinations? [Question]

Just stumbled across an old Reddit post about there being a limit of 50 saved warping destinations, space station wise. However it was posted a year ago, so does anyone know of this is still a thing?

I'm getting dangerously close to the 50 mark and don't want to risk losing accessibility to certain stations. As far as I know, the hard limit for bases is in the hundreds and so is the ability to warp to them. But hey, correct me if I'm wrong.

Aaanyway, have a good day :))

Sentinel Nanite mechanic - earn 25k-60k nanites in 10 min [Information]

Image with portal cords will be added in comments!!! So here’s the basic explanation of the particular mechanism you will be taking advantage of. Basically, right before the walker sentinel drops from the sky, a bunch of combat supplies will also drop. What you will be doing is, halting your progression thru the sentinel waves at that point. The supplies will continue to drop as long as you don’t progress in the suppression waves. How you do this, is by staying in an “active sentinel area” like a manufacturing facility without being discovered by the Walker sentinel. So…..

Step 1 - Here’s hoping you have some nanites. About 3000 would be best but depends on your skill. So step one is buy 6 s-class shield modules from a exo-suit upgrader in a space station and install (hint: once you find a space station with that module in stock, the seller will restock if you save by entering and exiting your ship and reload auto save). You may not need that many if you already have some installed. I’ve found that at that qty, the little flying sentinels can’t actually hurt you which is important. Step 2 - Portal to the planet listed in the image. Step 3 - Fly to the base called Walker Nanites Step 4 - Locate the cave, message module is beside it. Step 5- While standing outside, find a sentinel around the facility and attack (scatter blaster and plasma launcher are very effective). Be sure to stay close to the cave Step 6 - Once Suppression Wave 3 finishes, move to the mouth of the cave and wait for the flying sentinels to arrive. (Suggest switching to mining laser at this point) Step 6 - When the flying sentinels arrive, take a careful aimed shot with your mining laser at one. Continue until its icon changes from blue to red and then retreat into the cave. If done correctly, you are now at the point where we want to pause the suppression wave. The...

A quick question about starships slots [Question]

I waited for a while in a space station in T3 system to see if anything interesting pops up. And pic related showed up. But what worries me is the low number of slots, only 19. But from what i read i understand that you can upgrade it to full 38 slots, as it's an s-class. Is that true? Or do i understand wrong? Is there a chance of this one popping up with higher number of slots?

I still have just one ship and thought about expanding my fleet

The possible long journey. [Question]

So there's 256 galaxies. Whats the least explored? I know the primary one everyone starts in and even on NMSCE there's not 256 galaxies to listed. So is anyone in one of these weird widely unexplored galaxies? What's it like? I'm thinking of taking a very long journey to maybe the 30th or even the 100th galaxy.

(16/16) [Discussion]

A few days ago I came across that (16/16) atlas message you sometimes find on space stations where the atlas counts down until the end. At ten minutes it says that the travellers are no longer apart, standing side by side at the end of days, which sounds like the current central story line.

So, what if we're now at 5 minutes left, where it says a black hole is ripping apart its world, its core systems almost destroyed? Maybe the next update will advance the quest line to that where the atlas is getting more and more afraid of shutting down, which could have all kinds of effects on the worlds it has created. Maybe a more dynamic universe with more combat/war, more weird, random things happening.

What do you think?

Empty Anomaly [Question]

Grah! Pathetic interlopers. I am experiencing emtpy anomaly for more than a month now. I am a tech geek and I know all my settings are correct. The multiplayer has been set to enable and I have rebooted the game multiple times.

I know there was an issue but it was reported as solved. I am still not seeing anybody in the anomaly. I am on Ps4 if that matters. Anybody knows what is the reason behind this?

Amazing difference after 5 years [Discussion]

I put a solid 100 hours or so into the game at launch. I explored and lived a fairly quiet and isolated life as a traveler. I found my way to the center and "beat" the game as much as it was at the time. I had zero expectations as to what the game should have been and simply enjoyed it for what it was. Fast forward to this week and I saw it in my steam library and saw there has been consistent updates for the game. So I reinstalled it and wow, so much has changed. Graphically the game is looking amazing and running great on more modern hardware. Planets and stations seem more full of life and all the base building stuff is a bit overwhelming. It's impressive to still see so many unmapped galaxies and planets in the game too. I've only put a few hours of gameplay in so far but I can tell I'll be spending a couple hundred more at least. If this is the game that was "promised" at launch then I can understand why people were upset. I hope they have all had a chance or desire to come back and see what it has become because it's really impressive. Thanks Hello Games for continuing to crank out so many amazing updates to this game and not asking for any more money for DLCs. I'm happy to have found the game again and have it be even more amazing than before.
