farming minor settlements for multi tools. [Multi-Tool Farming Information]

in my quest to find the perfect multi tool, i found out something interesting. if you're using the map from the cartographer, you can guarantee each one will be a minor settlement. when you use them, they can be a handful of different things, but you can only have one on the map at a time.

well it seems like every time you go to activate one, it instantly generates what its gonna find, even before the map actually activates. so if you have one of each location on the map already, you can spam activate the maps until it does not give an error. showing a minor settlement with every successful activation.

not sure if this is well known, but i figure id share just in case it can help someone.

No mans sky vr issue [Bug]

I recently bought no man's sky for the purpose of playing it in VR. I thought I should try and progress through the tutorial on flat screen so I can learn a bit of how the game works before I start VR. I finished most of these tutorial and when I go to launch no Man's sky through my VR headset (Oculus quest 1 with link cable) it just launches the game on my desktop flat screen. I have tried launching it in VR from the steam page in my library, it does not work. I have tried launching it from the steam VR home, and it again just launches the flat screen version. I also tried launching it from virtual desktop, and that has the same results. I saw in another forum post that I should put -HmdEnable 1 in the launch options to fix the issue, but it does not work for me. I dont know if it is my headset issue or a No mans sky issue. Any help would be greatly appreciated as I really want to play this game.

Bug - can’t complete The First Traveller quest line [Bug]

I tried doing a search but I couldn’t find anything. So apologies if this has been posted before. I’m at the very end of the quest line. I had the Mind Arc. Talked to Artemis and Null. Gave it to Nada and spoke to Polo and now need to make my decision at Nada’s terminal. I head that way but I can’t. The Mind Arc is no longer in my inventory and I can’t interact with the terminal at all. There’s just no option. Am I doing something wrong or has this bugged out on me?

Thanks!

The watched title, anyone have tips? [Question]

I've been title hunting for a while now and I'm finding it very difficult to get The Watched title.

Supposedly the way to unlock it is to fly around until you find a korvax standing next to a waypoint and a damaged technology.

I've been trying for hours and I've yet to find a single one. I've seen the debris damaged tech next to a waypoints but no korvax ever!

Is there a better way of doing it? I've tried multiple different planets in different systems and I'm having no luck.

This is one of the last few titles I need.

Quicksilver missions should offer 500 [Discussion]

I keep missing these damn quicksilver weekend events, because I’m used to not doing QS missions. Because they’re usually just not worth it. Everything costs thousands of QS and the regular missions offer 250! And many of the associated missions are a slog, like just taming creatures. Maybe it’s just me but the system isn’t ideal

Living Ship suggestion to give them a reason to exist. [Suggestion]

Ok, we all know that Living Ships may look cool as hell but contain no special abilities. They are almost impossible to upgrade fully. My exotic ship is maxed does everything better, along with most of my ships. It's like flying a truck. Here's my suggestion that I hope everyone will bang on Hello Games door to get. Give living ships a Interdimensional Drive that allows travel between Galaxies! Better yet, since 16-16 is a relic of earlier gave development, have the Atlas give us a Living Ship with a Interdimensional Drive at the end of the 16-16 quest. Each trip to the Atlas can give us a part needed to build the Interdimensional Drive. Wait, it gets better, use of the Living Ship takes us to a random galaxy. Once it the new galaxy it takes 72 hours for the ship to rebuild the star map before you can bring it online. This would give a cool and needed, "where the hell am I" vibe to the game. Allow the player to get lost. I know, you would have to take the teleporters and portals off line for just that player buy why not. It could be worked into the story line with a little techno babble. Hello Games, please finish development of the Living Ships, Living ships in science fiction usually have special warp abilities. A nod to Farscarpe please.

Found an S class freighter, kinda broke-ish. [Question]

So I randomly popped into a space battle and fought back the pirates.

The freighter I was called on to turned out to be an S class. It's the type I want but even trading in my current freighter I still need 99 mil units. Will this freighter disappear if I go do some farming on nearby planets?

I really don't want to lose this.

storm crystal farming [Question]

I need of find a few of these but I can't seem to locate any on the extremely weather planet I've found. Are they not guaranteed, or am I just not looking hard enough? Like will they be pretty uniform, or is there somehow a pocket of them somewhere? I've been trolling around in my ship like 30 ft off the ground at a low speed during storms and can't find them or rock formations like what I'm looking for. I just need to know if I should cut my losses. Thanks

Is X class tech worth it? [Question]

So, I spend last two hours trying to hunt for perfect X class tech(Best stats are here).

Multiplayer Freighter Limit Question [Question]

Can anyone help me get the void egg? also a quick question [Question]

I just finished main quest and popped into a new galaxy, next on my list is to get a living ship :d

Or can I just go to the Nexus and ask random ppl?, I'm kinda low on QS and pretty stingy and I heard many people have a lot of those. I'm on PC, normal mode

Also a question, is it still possible to reload save at the end of the quest to check reroll different types of living ships? And are they always s-class?

What is this thing? [Question]

Hi there fellow travelers!

Has anyone ever encountered the thing pictured in the screenshots?

https://imgur.com/a/ehbRKI1

Been playing for more than 100+ hours and have never seen this. It was burried up to its´s neck and i dug it up. Can´t interact with it or damage it. For anyone who wants to look it up himself, i can post exact coordinates later.

Little off-topic question also, how can i post galleries in this subreddit? Wanted to upload the pictures as a post itself and not as a link. Neither the app nor the browser gave me any option to upload multiple pics.

Can Ancient Bones spawn underwater? [Question]

Title…I found a planet that has small islands here and there but from space indicates it has ancient bones. I’m curious if anyone has ever found ancient bones underwater or if it’s a waste of time to keep searching there. Will they only be on the islands similar to buried technology? Plenty of subterranean artifacts but haven’t seen any ancient bones yet.

Restarting without restarting [Discussion]

I ruined my run getting greedy exploiting glitches and broken game mechanics. I knew it would kill the game for me but like an idiot I did it anyways.

-delete all bases -I'm going to downgrade everthing to c class -new class c multitool -sell all my inventory, everything must go -roll my nanites into modules -units into goods -gift everything at the Nexus

Considering keeping the living ship that is about to hatch as my "starter".

I dunno the thought of really starting over and farming salvage modules does not appeal.

Anyone else start over this way? Any tips? Fwiw, also transitioning to vr only gameplay. Rebuilding without gaming the ships and multi class booths.. fighting walkers fairly, etc.

HelloGames next project - fanfic/prediction [Discussion]

They are making a fantasy Rpg with procedurally generated world and procedurally generated quests/dynamic encounters that goes on forever basically. It's going to be an rpg with a neverending story and biggest fantasy map/world ever created.

Just like NMS being a combination of all the best sci-fi franchises out there, so too this fantasy rpg has a little bit of everything of the fantasy greats: from Lord Dunsany to Tolkien to GRR Martin. You will recognize Middleearth in there as well as Narnia. Though the most obvious influence gameplay wise will be the Witcher. As you will be a professional monster hunter/adventurer type roaming the land.

You will go through this ridiculously huge fantasy world and get quests from town to town a'la notice boards in Witcher. The quests will not be as elaborate as Witcher's because of their procedural nature, but they will basically be in neverending supply. The selling point again here is again the atmosphere and absolute sandbox freedom. It will not release on last gen.

Forcing a specific freighter type to be purchasable? [Question]

Hey all, found a system with a freighter that I like the look of. If I park at the space station and then fly out, a fleet will warp in and one of the freighters will allow me to board/purchase it. Is there any way to make it be the one that I like the look of as opposed to the stupid looking hammerhead one? I'm guessing no and I'll just be stuck reloading forever and hoping for RNG....but maybe?

Are Extreme Weather Events Glitched? [Question]

I'm asking this question because I have a base on a planet near the center of Euclid, but the planet had extreme storms (Superheated Rainstorms) and the Extreme events consisted of Extreme Wind Events, & Electric Events. After the new update, none of these occur anymore. Is this a bug?

Death by anomalous combat? [Question]

I was playing No Man's Sky with a friend earlier today and we started a new game. When I had finished the Habitation Programme missions I was just standing in the small shelter we had built and suddenly I died. When I respawned it said that I had died to an "anomalous combat encounter". Has this happened to anyone else and does anyone know what causes it?

We were playing on survival btw so I lost all my not so valuable items.

#

Do you miss any planets? [Discussion]

A return trip to the location of an old base got me thinking about this. I don't remember which update did it, but this planet wasn't anything special: Airless and barren, like many others. But it had an absolutely massive mountain that made me feel I was on top of Mount Everest. After the update (again, can't remember which one it was), it turned into a nondescript desert planet, and my mountain was gone.

I think the game looks better than ever these days, but I do still wish I had my little getaway at the end of the universe.

Do you have a particular planet you wish you could have back?

What else is there to do? [Question]

I have played the game for 40 hours now. I have acquired a Freighter and an awesome starship, built a base in the ocean on a lush planet, created an albumen pearl farm, tamed wild animals, blown up an entire fleet of freighters, shot countless sentinels and explored pretty much every type of planet there is.

I haven’t finished the main storyline because I find it pretty boring.

Is there anything else to do in the game?

#

Fauna depth update concept (and proposed solution to underground/rare/always active) . What do you think? [Discussion]

So I have been doing a large amount of fauna hunting and I see many problems with the way is is currently done but also much room for improvement that can tie into companions.

Searching for creatures has also not changed much since the games launch land on planet, follow the red dots until you find all the creatures on the surface; then check the discovery page and shift your search to the habitat of the creature you are looking for.

creature spawns are tied to terrain generation (ground creatures spawn on normal ground, aquatic in water and underground on cave terrain). For a creature to spawn the player must be in close proximity to the creatures habitat for the analysis visor to pick up the creatures signature. Depending on the size of the creature (typically the smaller ones will only spawn close to the player and the larger one are visible from quite a distance.) This is where the problems begin, for an above ground creature to spawn you just need to run around on a planets surface until it spawns, but for an underground creature you need to find a cave to search which is not always easy and they are often small and contain no life, so you have to look for another and another until you do, but it gets more complicated; caves often have steep inclines and declines that creatures do not spawn on cutting down the searchable area; planets with water cut down on this viable area further because then caves below a certain depth are flooded with water. However the worst part is that I rarely find underground creatures actually underground in caves, rather I mostly find them on the flat ground of cave entrances I don’t know if that’s a bug but I don’t think that functions as intended. Speaking of bugs since there is only one way creatures spawn anything that messes with it can prevent certain...

NMS VR crashes upon startup on the vive? [Question]

I bought NMS from with the windows store and am trying to get it to work with my Vive and SteamVR. Every time I start the game in VR, it crashes. For about 2 seconds steamVR recognizes the game and then crashes.

I am running the latest windows version, latest Geforce drivers, latest NMS, etc. I have tried both normal and beta Steam VR with the same outcome.

Freighter Question [Question]

If I buy a new freighter, does everything transfer? (Rooms, decorations, quicksilver items, plants, etc)

Anyone have issues with VR not working? Specifically Windows Mixed Reality. [Question]

How to disable camera angle reset when switching back from visor view? [Question]

Let's say you're going down a hill in third person, you switch to visor view to look at a few things, and then you switch back to normal view.

Question about cross platform multiplayer [Question]

So I've played since launch and have never tried the multiplayer function until recently when my friend got the game (I'm on ps4, hes on steam). We exchanged friend codes and could see each other when looking in the multiplayer menu but when we click join it says joining, then connecting, and then nothing happens. I've tried joining him and he has tried joining me and neither seemed to work.

My question is if there is a certain point a new player must progress to before they can party up or if this is just a bug of some sort. Either way, I'd love to know if there is a fix so we can have better luck next time.

Thanks in advance fellow travelers!

How to make this resurrected game the perfect game [Suggestion]

This is going to be a huge list of suggestions I think that can make this game everything it set out to be and possibly a bit of what cyberpunk set out to be (originally)

I believe this game has the framework now it needs to be the end-all-be-all gaming experience that I'm looking for at least. Some small changes as well as a comprehensive wishlist. At no particular Order...

1: Ship fights need to be more engaging they're passable right now but I have little fear nor resistance from enemy Fighters. They seem to be doing scripted barrel rolls and pointless maneuvers.

2: I'd like to fight something other than just Sentinels in person. Adding pirates that look like one of the main races or anything else besides a floating Sentinel would be pretty cool

3: ship/vehicle customization: Color/decals layering style similar to COD or APB (appliable to tool gun and suit too)

Ship upgrades that alter the look like using a specific gun would show that specific gun attached to your ship as well as teleporter and shield Etc.

4: voice actors for introductory dialogue doesn't have to be super extensive (like BOTW)

5:Add mechanics that make it possible to be a pirate without being completely owned. Maybe a gangster underworld with a reputation system built into it as well for specific gangsters.

6: more exosuit customisations but should still be relevant to players upgrade choices similarly to ship suggestion.

7: Greater mission depth: missions that could lead to the gangster underworld missions that I can lead to interesting characters missions that establish many other stories.

8: Probably the most important one for last. Fix menu system allowing people to select audio input AND output. As well as AN Ambient sound slider and ship sound slider and world sound slider. They should all be different.

Bug: Cannot Carry Anymore Eggs? [Bug]

Was trying to get a new egg from one of my companions just now and got this error. After some Googling, it appears this is supposed to happen when you have reached the caring capacity of 5 eggs... But I only have 2. I've searched all my inventories to no avail. All I can think is, a while back I was carrying 3 eggs and got sucked up and killed by a wind storm, losing all eggs. Maybe the game still thinks I have them? Anyone else deal with this issue?

Can't interact with crashed ship [Bug]

Found my first crashed ship on my second planet. I flew in slowly so that everything would render in properly as I read somewhere that flying in too fast could cause problems. Landed next to the ship, interacted with the distress beacon and damaged machinery just fine but when I walk up to the ship I cannot interact with it, I can walk through it as if its not there. If I look at it through my scanner it doesn't register it as being there at all either. Anyone else had this problem before? Is there a way to fix it maybe?

Hey all long time lurker first time poster <3 (hope i do this right with the tags and flairs xD)

I pre ordered NMS back in the day and i have finally come back and love the changes. My first time back yesterday i found this luscious planet and a Pillared Moon, with glitch things. When i went to the moon it turned my screen black and white! It was so creepy, I haven't made it to the part where i can have people visit my base to see so here's a screenshot of the glitch things it let me pick up in the back. Ill get another of the moon soon if people want to see it.

Old game feels [Discussion]

I came back to NMS today. The timestamp of my last session's save was November last year. I can't believe that so much time has passed since I last played the game. When I stood in some station, looking at my living ship, I felt mixed emotions. I felt like I had come back home, but I also felt lost.

I thought back on the journey to that point. Completing the main story arc; getting the living ship; messing around with the freighter; memories of that base that I was going to build one day; so many wonderful and weird worlds discovered; moments that I stopped to gaze in awe of something; etc. So much seen and done, but also knowing that I've barely scratched the surface.

Back when I was playing that saved game actively, I was certain that I was going to keep playing it, and never start a new one. But after a break, I'm ready to move on to a new playthrough. In any other game I'd say that such intentions aren't even worth a mention. But in NMS, leaving an old saved game brings me a bittersweet melancholy. I guess it's fitting for our role in the game.

Does anyone else feel like this when starting a new playthrough?

VR doesn’t have photomode with coordinates? How am I going to meet up with my buddy? [Question]

So long story short, I have about 190hrs in and have finally convinced some friends to get on board. One is in VR, and he couldn’t find photomode to get his home planet coordinates. After searching around it sounds like a feature that is missing in VR, at least through last year sometime. So I’m trying to figure out how else I can get to him (beyond him playing enough to find a portal, unlock it, etc).

If I head to Euclid, can I find him at the Anomaly, or is that instanced within the galaxy? Any other method?

Fixing Salvaged Ships [Question]

So I've had this happen twice now and didn't see something specific in the reading I've done. Basically found a broken ship to salvage. Added it to my inventory. Went to a base and switched to that ship. Fixed a few things, switched back to my main ship. Switched back later and it seemed like a few fixed things had reset, but didn't think much of it. After grinding for mats for awhile, I switched to that salvaged ship again. Fixed almost everything. It started with like 15 things broken. I had 1 broken item left. Switched back to my main ship to try to find what was required to fix it. And when I switched back later.... everything broken that had been fixed was reset and broken again.

Is that normal? Is switching ships mid-repair a no-no?

Keybindings/Controlls in general. [Question]

Hi there fellow interlopers :P

Been playing around 1-2 weeks now myself and i just cant get used to the controlls overall or better said, they feel ...mhh strange, somewhat unprecise (sorry cant find the right word, english is not my native language^^)

Like for example when trying to scan new planetswhile targeting them, more times than not it just wont work until i warp around a bit. Feels like something is blocking the line of sight or so even if its clear.

Or when trying to warp the crosshair just snappes onto the nearest waypoint even when im trying to go the other direction.

Am i just "stupid" and missing something? Or are some controll mechanics just somewhat clunky?(ha! thats the word i was looking for! xD)

Been even tried getting used to playing with a controller(full on PC player for all my life so far) and it fits better in some scenarios, but in general im mixing around between keyboard and controller for now to try and get the "best" of both worlds.

Maybe some of you who played the game for a while now got some tipps and tricks for some "quality of life" settings/changes.

Dear Hello Games, we REALLY need more technology slots for the exosuit [Suggestion]

The technology slot of the Exosuit is way too small for the bazillion amount of upgrades you can get. This forces us to put the technologies in our normal inventory, which just makes it more cluttering then it already is, and honestly, if the technology works on normal inventory, then why can't we have more dedicated Technology slots?

You already start the game with 4 technologies (3 of them can't be removed at all), leaving us with only 8 upgrades to work with, minus the 4 hazard shield types, which are a NECESSITY, which leaves us only with 4 SLOTS.

So please let us have more technology slots! PLEASE

What's new over the past 2-3 months? [Discussion]

I last played when the pet update came out, although it wasn't really enough to draw me back in because I've already maxed my character for the most part and all of my ships are S class fully maxed. I'm just looking for a new reason to come back to the game because, while I love what is has become, I also feel like my only place to go from where I'm at is construction, and I'm not one of those people that enjoys putting hours into big constructs. I also play on adventure mode so there's that too.

So my real question is is there anything worth jumping back into right now, or should I wait another year or so once some new content has been added (I really want some new ships). Also, are there any mods worth messing around with? I don't have the game on PC but would be willing to try it out if there are some mods that would add content. I loved the main story of NMS, but after it was over it was just a grind for aesthetics for the most part.

Also, I saw the most recent graphic updates which seems awesome, but I want actual content.

where is the place to post game improvements/suggestions?!? [Suggestion]

I am dreaming to fill my walls with framed hi-res posters of the places I visited !

I would like to suggest an option to take a hi-resolution screenshot of the present position. For "hi-res" I mean BIGGER than the current PC or console setting. Hi-res will be not real-time, but who care? The game is so awesome, people could take fantastic images, professional looking and printable in big size.

I suppose, it is something very easy to implement. It could be a simple extension of current "photo mode": press a bottom, everything freezes, the resolution goes way up and the "shot" is saved somewhere for us to process it or just print it.

(would be also cool to make this way, incredible 3D shot to look at in VR).

Gene splitter not working anymore [Question]

Hi community,

the gene splitter of the egg sequencer doesn't do anything anymore in my game. I've tried about 5 different creature eggs and nothing.

Has anybody else has similar issues out of the blue?

I did install a base building mod a couple of weeks ago. But even after deleting it, no change. So I'm not sure if that's the cause of the bug.

I know not all creatures mutate. But none anymore??

Can I run NMS? [Discussion]

Hi all, thinking of getting the game in the current sale.

My specs are,

HP Pavilion 15-cs1xxx, 1TB storage, 8GB RAM, DirectX 12, NVIDIA GeForce MX150

I've been able to run Witcher 3, GTA V, Apex, Fallout 4, Destiny 2, Sea of Thieves, Control, Master Chief Collection and many others without any problems that couldn't be solved. So can I run No Mans Sky? even if it means compromising on graphics for the sake of performance.

Thanks in advance!

Building question [Build]

I saw some of the crazy bases you guys share here and I wonder if you could help me out, I never built anything yet besides a basic shelter. I wanna start with my first real base soon and was hoping for some advice from more experienced builders.

So the idea is that I build it on an extreme weather planet inside a medium sized, empty cave. I know about the returning terrain so I want to put a teleporter up to reach the surface.

My first idea was to build a small 1x1 box to put the surface teleporter in but that's kinda boring.

Now I wonder if it's possible to build something resembling the Tardis from Doctor Who? The plan being that you walk in the Tardis and are teleported directly into my base.

Or maybe you guys have some other cool ideas for a teleporter standing alone on the surface and not look boring.

Swapping multi-tool modes [Question]

I've been playing on and off since launch, and currently 100 hours into my new save, and I feel like I shouldn't even be asking this question, but is there an easier way to swap between multi-tool modes for multi-tools that have several weapon types built into them?

My current multi-tool only has a mining laser, terrain manipulator, and boltcaster built into it. I would like to add more weapon types, but I already find it annoying having to cycle through them one at a time until I find the correct one. This is especially annoying in tense combat situations, when I have to watch the indicator as I swap to make sure that I don't overshoot the boltcaster and wind up firing my terrain manipulator at them.

Is there a way to bind each one to a specific key, like 1-6? Is it easier to carry different multi-tools that serve their own functions?

Question about beginning quest. [Question]

I just returned to No Man's Sky after a long break. I'm starting from scratch so I'm doing all but the starting missions over again.

Which mission is this? And how do i reset it to generate a new ship if I don't like the one I get?

Very Strange Geography [Video]

I recently was on a planet and saw this pop up in the far distance (I did a beacon scan, and when the camera went up into the sky and looked down, I saw it in the distance), and since then more have appeared on the planet. I have a video attached to show what it was in more detail, as I can't really describe what I'm seeing.

Youtube Link

I'm not quite sure what this is, or where they are coming from, as more have appeared since I found the first one, but it's honestly a little eerie.

The planet is "Commy Tau" in the "Sheyua-Stu" system in the "Hilbert" Galaxy

If anyone knows what this is, please do let me know!

Warping question: Explorers vs Exotics [Question]

Is one better for warping than the other? According the the NMS Wiki they both give a 55-60% boost (S-Class) to Warp Distance, so in theory they should be equal, right?

I was just wondering if anybody has anectodal evidence of this being true? I have 3 exotic ships and it'd be great to just use one of those for warping rather than trying to hunt down an S-Class explorer.

Thanks!

Base templates? New game? [Question]

Hello everybody!

I'm new to this sub and have been searching a bit, also on google, but I can't really find (recent) answers to my questions. Most I see is from way back, mostly before all these juicy updates.

So, I've come back to play NMS once again, many many updates later. Such a lovely, addicting game, I'm getting all the feels back. But I have two important questions! Is it possible to make a base template? For easy copying a previously made base? I made this beautiful mansion way back, and I'd really like to have it in one of these new beautiful worlds/systems! But it's pretty big and would be nice if I could easily copy it, so I can spend more time on all the new (for me) additions that all those updates have brought. I have a very old save with around 100 hours put into it, it was right around the time that freighters were introduced. All technology bought and many other juicy things in my possesion. 100 hours for me is a pretty insane amount of playtime, specially nowadays. So, I'm wondering, is it recommended to continue with this save file, even though there have been many updates? Wouldn't it glitch/bug, would I miss out on content or anything else that I'm not thinking of at the moment? Or am I simply crazy that I'm even considering to start over?

Any input is very much appreciated by you folks! Have a great day and thank you for the time.

no man's sky crashing seemingly at random [Bug]

heyhey! so I bought NMS a while ago and have been absolutely loving it ever since. however, recently it has been crashing at seemingly completely random moments ranging from just walking around to flying in my spaceship. it would be one thing if the cause of the crash was consistent, however sometimes I'll be able to play for hours without having any problems, while other times it'll just crash after 5 minutes.

the token the game provided me is: 73811_0x531A67_ST76561199183925783

i'd REALLY appreciate some help with this, I've already tried all of the standard things like reinstalling the game, deleting the shader folder and whatnot.

However, I would really like a volcano that doesn't erupt, just a nice crater and maybe a bit of lava. Does that exist, or do all NMS volcano's behave the same? Bonus points if I can find one that does not have insane firestorms every 6.25 seconds.

#

Melee Multitool upgrades? [Suggestion]

Having more ways to accidently blow ourselves up on derelict freighters is fun and all (looking at you grenades), I would liket to see a new class of upgrades in future updates that would effect the Melee properties of multitools. They would be more useful than landing faster (launch thruster upgrades).

Traits of the upgrades could be things like just straight up increased melee damage, increased rate of attack/shorter cooldown between attacks, and increased range/reach for attacking further away.

It could even be possible to add these traits to multitools by way of bayonettes not just horns and teeth.

Question about companion butterlies [Question]

Am I right? Anyone got a fast, bigger butterfly?

Also, do we agree the faster mounts are the giant beetles, or there is a faster companion?

What are the chances of finding someone else's planet as of 2021? [Question]

Recently i found someone else's planet, and that got me thinking if this was an extremely rare thing or if by now with the amount of players playing No Man's Sky if it was just an everyday thing. I first tried looking for a recent post, but only found a 4 year old post that was before the PC release even, so failing that, i decided to make a post of my own. So, is it rare to find someone else's planet, or is the amount of people playing this game so big that it just becomes an everyday thing?

#

Procedural ship generation [Question]

I'm a compulsive collector and No Man's Sky's procedural generation does wonderful and dangerous things to my brain.

I am interested in documenting ship designs across 2- and 3-rank star systems (where S-ranks are available), with possibly camping 1-rank star systems for their Exotics if I undervalue my time enough. However, before I do more than I've already done, I wanted to learn more about how the ships were generated.

Specifically, with how the ship designs were generated, what are the chances duplicates exist?

Like, with the number of variables available for animals, I think finding the same animal twice is unlikely. But if there are only a handful of variables for a ship (particularly an Exotic), it seems probable you'd see the same ship in multiple systems.

Basically, is there a point to camping an Exotic in a system, if there could be an identical one next door?

I appreciate we may not know the answer to this, but any thoughts (and any interest in seeing a few systems' full ship inventories) would be appreciated.

I recently found all the titles. Here's some tips I've found to completing them all. [Information]

I recently went on a journey to get as many titles as possible. Some of them are easy and some are pretty time consuming. So I wanted to share some of what helped me get some of the harder titles.

Titan - You get this one from completing all the Base Archive missions. It's time gated with a 6 hour wait time but eventually you will get this title.

Vision-Master (Gek)/Oracle (Korvax)/Augur (Vy'keen) - Get a lot of navigation datas. Go to the space station and get tons of alien artifact planetary charts. Use the charts repeatedly and only go to Monolith sites. Don't go to the other sites because once there's a marker on one they won't come up again until you visit the site. This way you can continuously get monoliths over and over and these titles are completed very quickly.

Also, one thing to keep in mind is that the title isn't given for answering the monolith correctly, you want to fail each monolith. Failing each monolith 4-5 times for each race will give you their respective titles.

The Forgiven (Gek)/The Prime (Korvax)/ Priest of Hirk (Vy'Keen) - These are from going to alien plaques or ancient ruins and reading those. You can find these by doing the same as with the monoliths, except instead only going to Alien Plaque or Alien ruins sites. One thing that's helpful is reading the lore and checking on this site. https://nomanssky.fandom.com/wiki/Plaque

That site has a list of the lore on the plaques for each race. You need to go through around 30 plaques to get through all the lore. Once completed you get the titles.

Priest of Nal - I'm not sure how I got this one, I think it had something to do with the monoliths or plaques as well but I don't remember.

of Glass - This one is simple. Find a glitched planet and go to Boundary failures 31 times. The title...

Well the perfect additions to the big summer update have to be these 2 things. The end game and full ship customisation. [Suggestion]

I feel the game has plenty of activities and ways to make money mid game. But no end game content once you accumulate billions for you to spend your wealth on and expand your empire.

This is why end game content is a must for this next big update. So that veteran players can continue to play the game in the same way they did mid game. Only that end game content is going to have to be expensive, have a purpose and soak up a lot of your wealth.

The ability to own space stations and control and manage trade routes with your frigates would be one way to add end game content. You could also build factories and mining facilities on planet's to keep your space stations well stocked with resources and trade commodities to attract other trade ships and travellers to your star systems.

The other feature has to be fully fleshed out ship customisation. Where you need to get blueprints of the individual ship parts you want. Then gather the resources to craft them. Ship colours and decals would also make your ships feel unique to you.

Other than that anything else like multi crew ships for groups of friends. Procedural dungeons at ancient ruins. For a bit of high end loot and tense combat would be a nice addition. Along with new tougher enemies roaming planet's and HG finally getting the super formula working for full on planetary procedural generation would be icing on the cake.

This game has a great community - thank you [Discussion]

Hello everyone,

Steam has the game on sale and so I´ve decided to give it a try.

I had many great hours since then by trying out various things.

But when I went to the anomalie first I got a pleasant suprise:

While checking the various NPC someone send me materials for around 8 million units.

Wow, that´s much for a newbie who just made it to the anomalie.

Thank you very much.

Too bad I don´t know how to tell him/ her that by myself because I´ve "missed" the transaction.

But that wasn´t the only case.

A few days later I was 2-3 minutes afk while on the anomalie.

When I came back I got materials for around 600 million units.

Woa

That´s awesome.

More than enough to get a nice ship (after finishing the storyline).

Again: Thank you very much. And sorry that I wasn´t able to thank you ingame. I hope you´re reading this.

I promise I´ll help newbies like me the same way, when I´m more experienced with this game.

Normal vs creative [Question]

So I bought the game at launch, got bored and never touched it again - except when my friend dragged me on to gaze at his creative mode fleet.

Last night I played for a few hours on normal, and built the tutorial base etc. But discussing it with my friend I realised creative just sounds better.

Half of the time I spent last night was just gathering fuel for my ship so it can actually take off again, and I don’t want that to be half the gameplay.

So is there any real benefits to normal vs creative, other than not getting trophies and that sense of accomplishment?

Glitching because of another player? [Question]

So this happened last night. I'm on a paradise planet I'd like to keep. Been there for 3 days and started setting up a base. Last night I look over, and someone else is building a massive base right next to me! I could deal with having a neighbor, but my base is glitching. My NPCs like the scientist disappear when I walk around them. The floor flashes and changes textures. And my roamer exocraft location had the other player's exocraft sitting there. I summoned mine and was able to get in it, but it was tough to get it out from under the other player's exocraft. Has anyone encountered a situation like this? I sent in a ticket but don't expect an answer. Should I just move? Will it glitch every time a player builds near me? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Need some help to get a capital Freighter [Question]

Hello! I just started playing No Man's Sky (5 hours in total) and now I'm searching for a capital freighter.

Other than the rare traversal purposes, I'm struggling to find any reason to use my exocraft. They're slow, clunky, and you can't increase their storage. I don't know why I would ever mine something in an exocraft when I can do it on foot and get around much easier and without destroying the environment. And I'm good on storage, at least for the time being, between my exosuit, ships, freighter, and storage containers.

What do you guys use exocraft for, if at all?

Are there plans to fix PS5 crash issues? [Discussion]

Hi,

I have been holding out for this game to get patched on PS5. I bought my PS5 because I thought there would be fewer crashes on NMS and to take advantage of the graphics improvements.

Instead on PS5, there is a crash every time you create a base computer. You cannot delete a base either because the game crashes every time. I have been holding out for this to get patched.

Does anyone know if this been mentioned on a list of future bug fixes?

Couldn’t travel back through portal [Question]

Was just messing around with portals in Hilbert with a friend and we went to random glyph coordinates. Was closer to center so threw down a base computer and went to head back and only my friend could travel back through the portal. I had to recharge the portal and when I did I kept getting dialog like I didn’t know what a portal was or was hypnotized or an anomaly was detected. I’ve been reading up and I haven’t seen anyone else post about it and I know portal interference has been removed. Is this a known issue or has anyone else experienced this? Should I have built my base computer further away or not at all?

#

Egg sequencer duplicating eggs? [Bug]

I just started breeding companions, and the first time I sequenced an egg, it went fine, but now every time I go back to sequence a new egg the sequencer is already full (with the materials I used the first time) and I can't just delete what's in the slots. If I try to remove the items, it turns any egg/s in my inventory into duds and if I try to "hatch" them it just summons the parent companion.

I saw somewhere that the only way to "fix" the issue is to reload a previous cloud save, but I don't know that I have one, and regardless this has been going on for a while and I'd lose too much progress for comfort. Is this a known bug? Does anyone know if it's potentially being looked into? It's not a huge deal for me because I was sort of doing it as a side hobby, I don't care that much about companions, but I wanted to commit crimes against god.

Discover galaxy subtypes? [Question]

I'm curious about the mechanism to discover galaxy subtypes. The wiki pages for the various types (Empty, Harsh, Lush, and Norm) only list a few known subtypes of specific galaxies, with the vast majority unknown.

I'm a returning player who just started again after many years of not playing, so forgive me if this is a stupid question. But is it possible to disover the subtypes of later galaxies from a fresh playthrough?

I haven't yet gotten to the New Beginnings quest, which is apparently the only way to find out these subtypes. Am I allowed to traverse galaxies before doing this quest so that I can find out the subtypes of some later galaxies, or does the game prevent travelling to other galaxies until you finish that quest?

Regarding living ship [Screenshot]

So first question: I'm hopefully at the last part of the starbirth quest with the shell. Should be done maturing actually. Will I have to do this process every time I want a living ship?! Second question: How exactly do you use a void egg to find living ships? I've seen a few posted on the coordinates exchange reddit. Now that I'm doing this quest I'm wondering if it's the same process as a regular exotic ship where you just find it and buy it.

Read the wiki, still confused about how ship stats work [Question]

Sorry if this is a noob question, but how do I tell how good a ship is? The wiki is very confusing.

For example, it says the min and max bonus percentages for a B-rank Hauler's shields are +25% to +35%. It also says that the base shield value is 165, so I guess the min and max shield values for a B-rank Hauler are 202.25 to 222.75? But then it also says, "bonuses are calculated as 165*(1+0.007xB%)," so does that mean it's 193.875 to 205.425? That's not what percentage means, so why not just say the min and max bonus percentages are 17.5% to 24.5%? If I see a B rank hauler with 205 shields, is that good or bad?

Then it says the min and max bonus percentages for an A-rank Hauler's shields are +40% to +50%. If I upgrade a B-rank hauler to A, does it keep the same random roll for its place in the new range's percentages? For example, if I upgrade a B-rank hauler with the max +35% shield bonus (whatever that means) into an A-rank, does it now have a max +50% bonus to shields, or a random number from 40% to 50%? In other words, if I find a good low-ranking ship, then I upgrade it to highest rank, is it now a good high-ranking ship?

Then there's the inventory slots. The wiki says all ships can have 48+21 inventory slots when fully upgraded at S rank, but also on the exact same page says that different sizes of different ship classes at different ranks have different mins and maxes for each. But then it says that the max inventory slots for a small fighter is 19. I'm pretty sure the starting ship is a small fighter, and it only has 15 slots available at the start, but with storage modules you can bring that up to 25 (it's a 5x5 grid). There's not even a rectangle you can draw in the inventory box that has 19 squares in it, so what does that 19 mean actually?

Does the class even matter for inventory? Say I have an arbitrarily large number of storage...

QoL Improvement to Teleporters. Add ability to create custom base Teleporter groups. [Suggestion]

Background: I have tons of bases and scrolling through them all to find a certain one is painful. Adding the ability to sort base teleporters locations into groups will allow you to group teleports for Stasis device farming, mines, homes, etc, into their own teleport groups and make them easier to find. I submitted a Zen desk suggestion: here.

Extreme fps drops on pc [Question]

Okay, so i bought the game few days ago on steam and it's barely playable. I've played the Gamepass version of the game and it's runs perfectly, however the steam version of the game constantly stutters when distant textures starts to show up. I also noticed that when the game stutters, the cpu usage goes up and the gpu usage goes down. I tried a lot of stuff that i found online but non of them are seems to be fixing my problem. My hardware shouldn't be the issue since the xbox app version of the game runs fine. Any suggestions?

Paradise planets in survival mode [Question]

Hey everyone. I've not seen this topic specifically discussed before, but I have seen posts in the past where people cant find paradise planets with water on them. I dont think this has been confirmed in any way, but im starting to realize it may not be possible to find a paradise planet in survival mode that has water.

I have a survival mode playthrough that I consider to be my "main" save file, and I spent a few weeks zooming around in different systems in eissentam looking for a paradise planet that had an ocean. Found probably 100 planets, all had no water and were completely covered in brightly colored grass. I have a normal save file where I already found a "paradise" planet with an ocean that I liked. I decided I would just warp to that system in my survival playthrough and make my base there. I get there, and the weather on the planet in survival mode is completely different, and the planets was not considered a "paradise planet."

So my theory is, since the perception of the weather and the planets changes so much between normal vs survival, maybe the procedural generation is affected by that change in such a way that its not possible for a paradise planet with water to generate in a survival playthrough? Unless someone can prove they have a survival playthrough where they found a paradise planet with water on it? That would encourage me to look again. What do you guys think?

Ok but after a while, whats the point? [Question]

I bought the game a little less than a month ago. It's beautiful, and for a while the grindiness didn't bother me too much. I was going along doing all the different things the game offered up as content. I souped up my freighter, found some S class ships and upgraded them, got a living ship and maxed out it's upgrades, found some cute pets, explored some neat worlds. Built a base, built a second activated indium farming base, built a freighter base/hydroponics lab. Finished the story. explored derelict freighters and anomalies. Went hunting for fancy multitools.

Im now at a point where I feel like i've experienced or explored most of the available unique content in the game. I feel really torn, because on one hand I enjoy the visual aesthetic of the game quite a bit, and it's fun seeing people post up their wacky pets or cool planets they've found. On the other hand, sadly, it all feels rather repetitious with no real point beyond more repetition. I have lost interest in going to unexplored worlds, because it's always the same thing even with different environments and weather effects or critters. I land, I run around and scan stuff, I refill my hazard protection, I leave. Rinse, repeat. I see other people here asking what the overall point of the game is and the answer always seems to be "it's about the journey", but what do you guys with hundreds of hours do to fill the time after "the journey" becomes a tedious slog? After all the "goals" in the game are achieved (ship maxed, living ship maxed, bases built, ect ect ect) what do you veterans do besides simply flying toward the center of the galaxy? I tried that but im 670,000 Ly away from galactic center and honestly don't have the desire to watch a bunch of warp screens over and over for my limited gaming time (and that's with my living ship having a 2000+ Ly range).

Space Station Trade Terminal Inventory and Upgrades [Question]

Is anyone working on either an online or offline database for Space Stations and upgrade inventories?

I looked online and there are a few databases out there with planetary, ships and multi-tools, but nothing for the space station inventories.

I started throwing together a spreadsheet of the space stations I have visited; what inventory is the trade terminals and what they the Upgrade merchants are selling, that away if I need something, I can just like through the spreadsheet and see who was selling say Chromatic Metal or who was selling Hyperdrive S Upgrades.

Anyone see or working on something like this?

What am I missing about derelict freighters? [Question]

So I've paid my 5 mil units for a couple of derelict freighter spawns and both times have come out at a loss.

Am I supposed to shoot every pus node and kill every "hive" and depressurize every "sample" container?

Farming silicate powder - please let us craft [Suggestion]

Not sure what the logic is but silicate powder is just about the only basic substance in the game that you can’t get from farming/refining (and I don’t think vendors sell it anymore either) and has to be manually hand mined with the multi-tool.

The base parts that use silicate powder are a lot less intense memory wise than wood/metal so I prefer building with those but farming the dust is so tedious and I wish there was a way to refine it from something else (or farm it like the stellar metals). Like, let us reverse refine glass back into powder or something … or put it back on vendors … or make more drop when you mine.

I love this game but standing in a hole spinning my laser around for 10 minutes to get enough powder for 1/4 of a base is boring.

I ruined the game for myself - suggestions to help me get back into it? [Discussion]

So...I was playing because I enjoyed hunting and collecting materials, the hidden collectibles and such, and that let me get the cosmetics. I was having a blast.

Then I ruined the game for myself because I learned there were save game editors. Every time I start to play, when I'm hunting a collectible or farming a material it's just like...I know I don't have to do this. That save editor option is just sitting on my shoulder tempting me. My self control is garbage (Cut me a break, it's already a focus of my therapy) and I just keep thinking "Why am I doing this? A few keystrokes would save me a lot of time and trouble."

I play alone so doing it with friends isn't a motivator - what's something I can do that's server-side only or out of the scope of my save game? I know this is a ridiculous sounding request but I really would like to keep playing and enjoy it. I just...don't have a goal. There's no hardship or searching - no struggle. I need something to strive for but that doesn't exist when you can have it all.

Bugged Freighter ? [Question]

Yesterday, I upgraded my freighter from an S Class "short" Dreadnought to an S Class large "Star Destroyer" type.

It is visible as the latter in space and from the planet it is moored above.

However! If I try and summon it to another system (I am in EISSENTAM) it magically turns into a long S Class Dreadnought - something I have never owned! If manually warped between systems it does not change.

Also, the colour customisation seems to be bugged in Star Destroyer mode. The ship stays largely black most of the time but occasionally allows full colour change.

I am going back to Creative now. LOL)

Pilgrim Exocraft SPEED ( bug i think ) [Bug]

so ummm I recently found out that with the pilgrim exocraft if you reduce the grip so its has drifting tyres you go faster than normally moving. So if you get high end boost modules then you can place a ramp and drift into the ramp and jump as you hit the base of it and it will launch it across the planet and even into space... I dont think this was intended. no boost pads, just a ramp and a pilgrim with some drift tyres

Pokemon Crossover [Discussion]

I was learning about how now in no man's sky you can tame all the crazy alien creatures.

What if they gave each creature a set of abilities, like from pokemon. Make it procedural and tie it in with traits, for example a creature with horns would have a high chance of having the charge attack ability.

You can tame all the critters ya want.

Just allow the player to purchase pokeballs.

Pokeballs would function as a portal, and you have to set that other end up ahead of time so a bit of thinking is required. You would set up it's home on the other end of that portal, so a PokeBall is just a portal to your little animal slaves home.

Maybe tie all of your pokeballs to a single portal that leads to your zoo or whatever so all your animals live together. Or they can each go to a separate place so maybe build some igloos on an ice planet and your PokeBall is more like to catch an ice type Pokemon successfully. That way players are encouraged to build specialized homes for types they want to catch!

Then you can do battle with other players. Maybe host tournaments at the anomoly place or space stations for duels

What do y'all think.

Spaceship concept [Suggestion]

I was watching Star Wars today when I thought on why no mans sky ships don’t allow you to exit your seat in flight and walk around like wouldn’t it be really cool if you could put on a type of auto pilot and walk around your ship and invite friends into it like a freighter does. And then when you land a door opens up instead of jumping out through the window.

I Don't Understand Frigate Repairs [Question]

I just found out today that I can actually land on my frigates. While doing so, I noticed a few broken panels and repaired a few on that ship and two others. I never got any messages that I needed to repair anything. I don’t even know which ships they are because ships are not identified when I land on them. Went back and looked at fleet list and I still have a few ships of that type with red dots but I don’t know how to make sure I land on the right one and whether it will even be fixable. It's like they don't want me to repair them? I might just give up on this and dismiss ships liberally instead when they get damaged. Anyone have explanations or tips?

Random thought: jumping from freighters [Question]

Has anyone ever tried to see how far they have to be from a planet when jumping from the freighter, before you are just floating in space and die?

Missing 100ton and 200ton Frigate fuel blueprints. No mission available to get them... [Question]

Just as the title says. I can't seem to acquire the larger Frigate fuel blueprints. I have the 50 ton one but can't get the bigger ones.

I have talked to both the guy in charge of the expedition routes as well as all four of the commands for each available fleet command room. I've deleted all but one and accessed the room both before and after selecting a route.

about the early vy'keen war before the first spawn attacked the korvax, and informal request for a Lore flair we can use when spoilers arent involved. [Spoiler]

I have been reading up on the lore and it seems like vy'keen were enjoying a time of peace and celebration as they began to feel the sentinel hordes starting to weaken and die down. then eventually things were finally getting quiet when the first spawn attacked the korvax and the violence brought the sentinels back after all the hard work the vy'keen did.

my question is: is it true that the sentinels were actually on their way toward leaving everyone alone, and it really was the re-emergence of first spawn violence that basically ruined everything and the chance the simulation had at peace?

Idea for dealing with the terrain-regeneration problem in base building: an alternative and perhaps more costly form of base computer that would automatically flatten the terrain around it [Suggestion]

The game-generated buildings all occupy a neatly flattened circle of ground that extends some distance all around them and never gets regenerated, so the game engine already has the ability to do this. My suggestion is just to make that functionality available to players who'd like to use it for their own bases as well. I'm suggesting doing this via a new, variant type of base computer so that 1) no existing bases that are built to conform to their terrain would get messed up by it, and 2) maybe it would require more work and resources to obtain this industrial-grade, persistent ground-flattening capability than it does to just plunk down a regular base computer in any random spot and start building.

Anyway, when you placed one of these new base computers, it would cause a large circle of ground to be flattened downward using the same algorithm the game applies when it's placing preexisting buildings. (Either the player would choose from a preset range of circle sizes and depths, or you'd just get some standard radius flattened to a standard depth and adjust the placement of the base computer until you were happy with the results. Whichever way worked best or caused the fewest complications.) The flattened circle would persist unless/until the player dismantled the base computer, at which point the game would forget it had ever been there and the terrain would be restored to its original state.

People have built great bases that adapt to the existing terrain and/or are raised entirely above it, but some building designs just work better on a flat piece of ground. This suggestion still wouldn't enable us to make basements or bunkers or underground lairs, but we could at least build a house with a yard or a farm with a...

Combat Frigate [Question]

So I’ve noticed this ever since I got my first combat frigate that if I get attacked by pirates and my fleet is in the system, my highest ranking combat frigate (CF) warps in close to me to “assist”. Maybe it’s just because I dispatch the pirates too quickly or I’m just blind, but I’ve never seen it do anything. It just shows up. I’ve noticed they have a turret akin to the one the freighters have, and when you land on them, the captain says something along the lines of “fighters ready to scramble”.

TL;DR—when a CF deploys to assist you, does it actually shoot or deploy fighters to assist you? Or is it just for show

Is there an experienced modder who could create a mod to allow HOTAS support in VR? Or point me in the right direction to get started along this path? [Modding]

I'm a day one NMS player on both PC and PS4 and really love the game. It was the ONLY game to drag me away from VR in 2016, so when Hello Games added VR support it was pretty much a dream come true.

My one issue is with the flight controls when using motion controllers in VR. On-foot, it's an incredibly immersive experience. But in the cockpit, I personally find motion controls to have a lack of precision, and if I don't have any tactile feedback in the controls then it also ruins immersion.

Some people prefer motion controlled flight controls and that's fine. I'm not one of those people so I'd love to transition between motions controls when on-foot, and HOTAS when in my ship.

There used to be a way to hack this into the game apparently (via simulating the mouse on the HOTAS I believe), but this exploit has been removed and it is now impossible to use a HOTAS in this way.

Any help or advice would be appreciated.

Steam backup/restore process being annoying [Discussion]

Has anyone tamed a flyer yet that isn’t a god damn insect/invertebrate? [Discussion]

Making me question if the fauna is actually randomly generated at all. After a surf on YouTube it seems everybody runs into the same fauna all the time, ugly dogs and cats, and mantises and crabs.

Don’t get me wrong, I love the game.. but the variance and rarity has disappeared.. everything about fauna is similar and everyone has seen it already, so what’s the point?

Don’t mean to be negative, just sick of seeing the same mantis species and crab species that I and many others have seen a million times.

the bytebeat machine is painfully badly made [Discussion]

i don't get it. at all. So many deliberate choices were clearly made that make no sense to me. Why are we so limited rythm-wise ? why is the melody sequencer a full scale without the upper octave of the root ? why isn't there simply a piano roll with like 2-3 octaves and on which you can create like 1 to 4 measures ? why is it so deliberately limiting ? what unholy demon of the underworld thought adding an arpeggiator and use it as the base of the entire design was a good idea ?

Because what are the consequences of this ? the small scale and 1 measure size of the thing make so that you have to create an entire new sequence (and you only get 8 of them !) everytime the melody goes over more than one measure (and every melody ever does) or you go beyond the octave of the scale (a lot of melodies do as well, or at least a lot go up to the upper octave of the root note)

You can only choose one arpeggiator pattern per sequence, you cant have two notes at the same beat on a sequence (so you have to add a new sequence for 2 note chords, add a sequence for each note)

I don't get it. Why was it so hard to put a piano roll like every DAW out there has ? i managed to cram l'amour toujours out of the thing and that's it, i'm honestly never touching it again. In-game music making was a cool idea but this is a complete mess

I learned a trick for building out of base range you may all already know, but just in case: [Information]

I built my first wooden base on a lake because it was pretty, and had no idea that power hotspots, etc, were even a thing. Eventually I got more blueprints, but I decided to move some things away to keep it looking more rustic. So I stretched my base out to a nearby plateau, and that's where I put my landing pad and exocraft. (It's linked to the base with a series of two teleporter relays, the middle teleporters hidden from view in an underground corridor at the halfway point.)

Then I found a Class B power hotspot... 200 units outside my buildable range. The closest I could get was only pulling in 5% field strength. I stretched my base in the wrong direction.

Today, while contemplating how many I'd have to set in a row to get more power, I realized that as long as I stood in the base radius, I could move the cursor to build outside it. So after a few false attempts at connecting a power line from 100u away, I now have two generators outside my base pulling in 30ish% each.

Between things placing in the wrong place or orientation, not being able to look up if I’m in water, accidentally deleting the wrong thing when trying to do precise deletions, it really gets me riled up lol. Part of it is cause I’m on console I’m sure, and another part is cause my controller has bad stick drift, but man, some of the mechanics in this base builder are just so wonky that they drive me mad.

The next time/day I get into the game, all refiners are completed, ready for harvest. Since Platinum refining is two steps to Nanites, I chuck all that Platinum into my hauler until I'm ready to process it.

So I ran into a strange cargo upgrade bug that severely devalued my ship at max cargo slots [Bug]

I was upgrading my last three slots to max (48) and as I was heading back to my ship , decided to scan it to see if value had gone up. Was valued at 69.5 Million

Scan said value now with 4 upgrades (3 to make Cargo 48, 1 to make Tech 8) was 16 Million?!

Wtf? 80% devaluation for upgrading??

Thankfully, as I said I hadn't hopped back in my ship, so no save since upgrade.

Restarted, value back where it belonged. Did 2 slots to 1 shy of max and value stayed put. Add the 48th and same valuation drop.

Repeated this process several times in different ways, all with same outcome. As soon as I hit max cargo slots, my value plummets.

Thoughts?

Ship is a B class Hauler fan blade. Visionary Mother ME8. For reference.

Online player kills me in my 600-hour Permadeath playthrough [Discussion]

I had a permadeath playthrough which was nearly 600 hours. I had a nice fleet, a few bases which spent a lot of time on & had a lot of stuff. I was playing last night and some guy warped to my system, seemed pretty chill - asked if I wanted to trade.

I thought why not? he came over to my base and as I was looking through my storage for some bits to trade, he started shooting me with his scatter blaster & plasma launcher. Killed me for no reason. 600 hours literally just gone for no reason.

I am so pissed off - why would he do that? NMS usually has a nice & helping community which is why I didn't suspect them to do that. I don't get people like that at all. Really has put me down & I don't think I'll start another permadeath playthrough now.

Hello, I’m thinking about buying this game but I do not have PS+, what will I miss out on and is it worthy playing completely offline or is it like death stranding where the experience is completely incomplete and worse? Thank you!

Multiplayer Issue - Can no longer join friend's game [Question]

My friend got me back into NMS after a few years off and he had already been playing awhile on Normal mode. I had to make a new save to join him and all was well, I was helping him build his base, explore, do missions, etc. However, at some point he crashed to dashboard and we decided to just call it quits for the night. I jumped in my ship and jumped out to save the game and then quit to desktop (he's on xbox, I'm on PC). However, since this happened I can no longer join in with my Normal mode save, the save i had literally just spent hours playing on with my friend. The save file is grayed out when I click to join and it forces me to just start a new one. Any ideas on why this is happening and how to fix?

Previously I was able to join with the same file before but now its just gray.

Just got the game and have been enjoying the beginning learning curve. Just found a distressed ship I can take over but now I can't find my way back to the trading hub on planet? [Question]

I guess I expected I could just pull up a planet map of where I've been to, I can see in my log the camps I've visited on the planet but I can't select/mark them from the menu....sooo just keep flying until I find another one? With the distressed ships can I sell them at the local space station or just on planets after repairing the two main components?

/noob advice welcome

New Player, Any Tips? [Question]

I just got into this game maybe a week ago. Does following the main storyline open up more base upgrades and higher ship classes? Seems like a ton of the same thing so far, but maybe just because I haven't gotten to explore very far yet?

Guess to summarize, is it better to follow main storyline for upgrading or explore more widely?

Multiplayer vs solo [Question]

Hi, I wanna buy this game to play with my friend, is it worth it? Can you do everything together or is single player more complete? We use to play subnautica, factorio etc.. now we want to play something like this, is it good for 2players? Thanks

Do you think they'll ever fix the landing bug? [Discussion]

I still have constant problems trying to land correctly. It will say landing site is unclear for literally 3-5 minutes while I fly around a small area. It's like 50/50 for me if I'm able to land at a trading post the first time. I love all the new features they're constantly coming up with, but it would be great if they'd address this 🙄

Playing with Friends [Question]

Ok I have a question, if me and my friends all want to play together and build bases around each other, is it better to play multiplayer or to just meet up via portals? Will the bases we build in multiplayer be there if we just play join game and not multiplayer?
