Void egg deleted [Bug]

So somehow last night my second void egg was triggered and I began the quest again. I saved. Quit and picked up a little while later onky to find the quest still active, bit no void egg in my inventory and the spot it was in was empty. It's not anywhere in my other inventories and I didn't sell it, because it was in my inventory before I saved and quit.

A leap into the dark quest bug [Discussion]

So i have this bug (apparently) that makes it so that i must go to an location to find energie laylines in the quest a leap into the dark. After several 10.000's of lightyears. I searched reddit wat was going on. Apparently they quest marker can be placed way to far and makes you travle extreemly far. Yet i kinda enjoy it because it gives me a reason to travle alot and thanks to this bug (if it is 1) i found an earth like planet in survival with actual trees that are green, green grass, blue water, earth like hills and mountains and plesant weather.... The thing im wondering abouth is: had any1 ever tried to go where the quest leads you? Its obviously guiding me to an actual point in the galaxy. I would not be supriced if i can find something weird if i keep following it. Wishfull thinking i know but still its posible to find something that was intended. Any toughts or storys of ppl who already tried this?

NPC fixing things around [Bug]

I played NMS a while ago and replay it now, attracted by the promises of the latest update. Many things changed, one of them is really frustrating :

When I go to missions where I need to fix something on a planet. Often I miss components so I fly up to my freighter to get what I need and often while I'm on the way : I receive a message saying the mission is done... If I go back the thing I had to fix is fixed already and I see an NPC get out of the building and leave in his ship, wtf.

No big deal except this happens with other things to fix : I'm on a planet. Distress signal. I go there, find a g-r-e-a-t spaceship. That needs fixing of course. I fly up to the freighter, take the necessary components to fix the spaceship enough to make it start and fly it back up to the Freighter to fully fix all storage slots. Except when I come back : the broken Spaceship is gone. Fixed, I guess ? by an NPC.

That sucks really. Anyone else saw that happen ?

Is No Mans Sky Worth it? [Question]

This game just went on sale for $30 and I’ve been leaning to get it for a while but idk some people say the the game doesn’t last that long and is very repetitive, I do like crafty survival game like subnautica, Minecraft, and survivalists.

So is no mans sky worth $30?

And how many hours do you guys basically spend on the game.

Needing help understanding galaxies [Question]

I'm new to the game (less than 20 hours played and have been doing multiplayer with my wife the whole time) and I'm having trouble understanding what different galaxies are.

How do I find different galaxies without simply being taxi'd there by a veteran player?

What are the benefits and drawbacks of galaxies?

Should I focus on building bases in these different galaxies?

So far I've mostly been hanging around nearby my starting system never jumping more than 3 or 4 jumps away.

I've tried to research on my own but I don't understand the mechanics behind them. Any help given would be much appreciated!

Can't read Frigate stats due to whiteout background [Question]

Anyone else have this problem? I try to manage my frigate fleet, and when I inspect a frigate I can't read half of the abilities because the text is white and it inevitably backdrops the frigate with either the sun or planet rings or something else that overloads the text field. I've been warping around trying to find a "dark" system just so I can read the damn stats. Has anyone figured out a way around this?

Are wild base computers still in game? [Question]

I've been trying for hours and hours to find an old school flat base site on a few different planets but still not found one yet!. I've also used about 200 planetary charts and I've still not come across one. So I was wondering are they still in game??. It states on the wiki they are still in game but it doesn't seem like it to me.

I've recently started playing NMS again after not playing for about 2 years so the game has been updated quite a lot since then, but I remember it as being quite easy and simple to find base computers on planets before.

I specifically want to find one of these because I want the nice flat level ground to build a bio dome farm on, most planets seem to have mountains/hills and it can be very difficult to find a nice flat area to build a ground base on, everytime I use the terrain manipulator to flatten areas it doesn't go well and then I end up with ground regenerating inside my base!.

So yeah, are wild base computers still findable?, are they on all planets?, is their an easy/quick method to finding these perfect areas for base building?.

Thanks, Vorzukian.

Better ship [Question]

Hydroponic Trays & Standing Planters disappearing on Freighter Base construction? [Bug]

Hello! I'm in the process carefully building my freighter base, and I've noticed on two occasions that a few of my hydronic trays and standing planters have disappeared on at least two occasions.

I'm putting a moderate amount of detail into each area, with about 5 different small to medium sized sections across 3 floors. The "greenhouse" area is on the second floor behind my storage area. I have about 15 large hydroponic trays, a few small ones and about 40 standing planters in 5 short back-to-back rows.

Am I doing something wrong in terms of freighter base layout (too dense, upper floor, etc.) or is it possible that I'm using too many trays/planters? Will this only continue happening during construction or is it an ongoing issue? Also, I'm really hoping this is isolated to the farming objects as they're easy to notice and replace.

Hello there spacehomies,

I'm in need of a little guidance. I don't really understand how to get tainted metal. I've looked up tonnes of videos and in most of them there seems to be a step that just doesn't work for (for example, getting that item from Helios to locate it). Is it unlocked after a certain primary mission? Any help would be appreciated!

Goodluck in space and may we all one day find our forever planet.

Stuck on water planet [Question]

Just started this game about 3-4 days ago. Currently stuck on a planet that’s seems like it’s mostly water but has little islands throughout.

Biggest creature I've seen yet [Screenshot]

This is the biggest creature I have encountered after playing nearly 25 hours. I also accidentally attacked it which made it angry and it dealt a lot of damage. And to think that this Isn't even close to the biggest possible creature is just crazy. I just bought the game recently and I've had so much fun that having to go to sleep annoys me very much.

It has gills for some reason even though I don't think there is water on the planet.

Half my systems are now renamed/discovered by other people. [Question]

Just logged into NMS for the first time in a long time, upgraded the game to PS5, transferred my save files to PS5, started the game, and discovered (pun unintended) that most of my previously discovered planets are no longer "owned" by me, but by random strangers, and their names have been reset to the procgen names. Weirdly, my teleporter destinations are still showing "my" names.

Furthermore, on my base planet I no longer have anything discovered.

This is pretty damn annoying and frustrating. I thought the days where updates wipe your discoveries are long gone? There's little incentive to play this game if your discoveries are reset all the time. They really need to fix this!

Apart from that, the game is looking more gorgeous than ever, so yeah, awesome stuff from HG the way they are continuing developing this game. It puts other, much bigger and more famous, studios to shame.

Anyway, just wondering whether this is "expected"? I thought once you upload a discovery it's "yours" forever?

Base item Locked Cargo box/any storage that is shared [Suggestion]

I play co op with my spouse a lot we even share an awesome base. What I find frustrating is unless we are both online there is no way to share items. What I would like is a locked cargo box as a base item. It would be nice to set a passcode on it. They can have 3 tiers 25, 50, 100 slot storage. Most important any other player can access and retrieve the items if they have the code. I'm not sold on the cargo box the important thing.to me is a way to store and share items with players I choose.

Just connected a XBOX 360 controller to my PC and it works great, but now my menus don't work with the keyboard or mouse? [Question]

I've seen a lot of PC players say they use controller for flight and KB/M for everything else. I thought I'd give it a try and I already agree that this is a better way to play.

The problem is, my menus no longer work with KB/M. Everything else transitions between controller and KB/M seamlessly, but for some reason, the menus are forcing the controller.

Has anyone else had this problem and/or know how to fix it? I want this to work, but controller for menus is a deal breaker for me.

I just missed the steam sale. What are the chances of it being back on sale the coming weeks? [Discussion]

Hi all

So yes, I'd just decided I wanted to take the plunge on this game, and buy it to play it in my vacation the upcoming weeks. Today I checked and I saw that the summer sale was already over. I always forget it ends rather quickly.

I was wondering if you guys have any idea if it'll be back on sale again, approximately this month?

I checked the price history on steamdb, and in 2020 it was back on sale a couple of days after the summer sale, which is why I'm getting my hopes up.

So yeah, fingers crossed I guess?

PS: I've wishlisted it and I'm following it now, so if a new sale occurs I hopefully won't miss out :)

Question about Frigates and Freighters [Question]

Maybe I'm blind, but I couldn't find much info on this at a glance. But, how much does Frigate/ Freighter class matter? For example, I have come across this "S-Class" frigate that seems rather pedestrian when looking at the stats and 33 already completed missions. Do S-Class frigates get greater stat increases from completing missions?

And is there a benefit to A or S-Class freighters as opposed to a C-Class?

Considering the game. Looking for inputs [Question]

Hi! I’m considering this game every time I see it on PS Store, but…

I can’t quite understand:

Is there a real story in the game? Does the story have an definitive end? I like going deep into games for 30 - 100 hours, but I also like it to have an definitive end so I can move on.

How is the balance between exploring (running around, looting etc.) and fighting? I’ve watched some videos and there seems to be mostly exploring? I love both exploring and fighting, so I’m just curious about the balance.

I’d appreciate any help. And I love the screenshots you guys are posting. The game looks so beatiful!

I found a new infinite nanite glitch! (Works offline, fastest method for nanites) [Information]

DISCLAIMERS

Use at your own risk. Duping -anything- can lead to losing interest in a game REALLY fast if you don’t have other things that keep you playing. Everyone is different, so before duping something, try to figure out if earning it legitimately is a grind worth doing or not.

If this is a known glitch/exploit, please let me know! It's new to me ;P

This has been tested on PC and PS4, so I assume it will work on all platforms, but can't guarantee it.

/DISCLAIMERS

This is a twist on the current duping method where you store an item in your refiner and then give something to someone in the anomaly and reload. But here, we get to save after taking the nanites out of the refiner(s).

With this method, you'll get 4096 nanites each time you load your save! I’ll add the details of how I discovered this at the end of the post, if anyone is interested. In the meantime, let’s get down to business...

If you'd rather watch a video about this exploit: https://youtu.be/x6c7zvBEHLw

Process

Before you begin I would recommend turning off multiplayer so the anomaly loads faster and no one tries to join your mission. Prepare your refiner - You’ll want to stuff the output full of nanites using Tainted Metal, Hadal Cores, etc. You can also dupe another item in the left side, so why not just fill it full of Silicate powder? I hate mining that stuff. Optional: Make a manual safety save Fly to the anomaly and exit your ship to create an autosave Start a multiplayer mission Remove the nanites and any items from your refiner Return to your ship and autosave Reload your autosave Repeat at step 4 and profit!

You’ll make 4096 nanites (+ whatever else, if you chose to put something in the input) each time you load. It can be scaled up. Just like the traditional duping method,...

Newbie help - Construction Terminal [Question]

I can't figure out how to construct the Construction Terminal. From googling and searching, it seems to have something to do with either the Cylindrical Room, or the Artemis quest line.

Why did online players join my game? [Question]

I just got this game through xbox game pass so I'm new. I've got 4 hours into "normal" mode and I thought it was offline. After I finally got the hyperdrive thing I went to a new star system and a space station appeared in front of me, I went inside and there was a bunch of online players in there. Then when I tried to leave the space station it started to glitch out and it let me fly my ship inside and it said I was taking planetary damage. And when I tried to switch to my other ship it wouldnt let me inside of it and said it belonged to somebody else. Then after I left the space station a skull appeared on my screen and it said hostile lock on or something like that. Was somebody trying to blow up my ship?

Is there any way I can disable the online part? I was enjoying the game until this fuckery happened.

Emergency Planetary Services. [Discussion]

So I've played this game well over 300 hours and I absolutely love it. I've only recently been exposed to other players in the galaxies. Its seems as though the game is becoming more and more populated which is amazing!

I just recently got my first S-class freighter and due to some financial mishaps I was short a few million units. I decided to scrap the ship I had at the time to cover what I needed for the freighter. After all was said and done I happened to land on a planet in a strange unknown system with a bright blue star. But my ship was gone... and I was stranded with the glorious radiant pillar. And no launch feul...

This got me thinking about space ambulances. Or space AAA, ya know? If a service were available to you for a quick refuel or a handy repair kit, would you hire said service? It wouldn't be a very expensive service if at all, I just think a bit more community connections would be fantastic. Especially in the form of helping others. Let me know your thoughts!

I've been transferring screenshots through twitter so I know that's a method yet when I tried doing the same for videos it doesn't work. Looked it up and it seems it's been a problem for others.

Base limit? [Question]

I'm maxed out. Now what? What to do in end game? [Question]

Looking for some inspiration here or suggestions on what to do in the end game.

So far I have:

Completed Atlas Path, Artemis, Manually Warping to Galactic Core, Purge 2X

Max units, Exotic S-Class Starships Max Tech/Storage, Exotic S-Class Multi-Tools Max Tech/Storage, S-Class Freighter and Frigates, Approximately 10 big bases built in three different galaxies, Max Milestones

At 150 hours, I've kind of run out of things to seek out. The planets have long ago already felt same-same, so discovery has become boring. I've built bases to my heart's content. Bunch of pirate hunting and space battles have never been that interesting since it's too simple. Starting a perma-death campaign doesn't seem that appealing doing everything all over again.

What do you guys do for fun in NMS in the far end game?

This game needs base build blueprint saving and sharing [Suggestion]

I dont even know if it's feasible. But how sweet would it be to build your base for ONCE and then go to the base computer and save that blueprint to later rebuild in one shot on another planet later.

And imagine how sweet this could be that people could maybe share and exchange those saved files to help others maybe combine designs or have a copy of something someine else created that you really love.

The only caviat of course is that these saved blueprints will need you to have all the necessary materials to build it all at once.

Game completely unplayable. Desperate for help. [Question]

I posted this the other day, got no traction. Posted in the bug thread, got no response and will probable be over looked.

Posting again because I'm about to give up. I have submitted several tickets over the past week, I have attempted updating NMS, GOG, drivers (clean install) and Windows 10 to no avail. Verified game files to no avail. Removed save files for cloud resynch to no avail. Attempted to turn off multiplayer to no avail.

Game is stuck in a crash loop. I attempt to move on foot, get a certain distance and get CTD. I get back in my ship and attempt to move, CTD.

Failure bucket ID from .dmp reads: INVALID_POINTER_READ_c0000005_NMS.exe!NVSDK_NGX_VULKAN_Shutdown

I've put 70 hours into the game, I have been enjoying it a lot, but I do not want to have to start over. If it came down to that I'd prefer a refund, honestly.

I'd really like to be able to salvage my game. Any help at all would be great.

Is the weekend QS mission planet fixed/static, or is there a way to visit a different one? [Question]

This one's "Feed the fauna," but the planet it sent me to only has six fauna, two thirds of which are not feedable at all (three diggers, one high flyer). Of the other two, one only spawns by itself (took me 15 minutes to find 6) and I've yet to see the other. Sure could use the QS but at this rate it'll take me over two hours to finish it on this planet.

Is there some way to have the QS mission pick a different planet? Or should I just say fuck it and try again next weekend?

Thanks!

How do I get pugneum? [Question]

I'm new to this game. I got a broken ship and I'm trying to fix the storage slots. Most of the storage slots need pugneum to fix. I read online I'm supposed to kill sentinals to get it?

Anyone else want more customization/personalization to come to the game? [Discussion]

In the sense of like... Aside from the obvious of more outfit and species customization options, I personally really hope they implement a workbench and garage type system where (provided you have the parts from other dismantled ships and multi-tools) you can customize your ship and tool exactly how you want it to look to fit your style. I can see this working two ways.

1: as mentioned, you won't have access to the parts of a ship less you find and dismantle one that has said parts, even then you only get the one. So if I wanted say... A fighter with say... A halo auxiliary part and a rasa cockpit, I'd have to first find ships that have those parts, acquire and dismantle them, then take those parts to mod my current ship. Same with the multitool. (Colors could be available for purchase much like the freighter)

2: you have to buy each part in a chop shop like area of the anomaly. It would be extremely expensive and more of an end game type thing perhaps maybe you could upgrade the stats on the multi-tool as well but I'd be fine with leaving that bit of RNG in since it's not cosmetic related and not to insane to deal with... Kinda.

Patterns and colors are obviously similar to the freighter and whatnot. Speaking of which it would be nice to be able to customize the crew and such. Allow more color options for the docking bay (for some reason you can change all colors to black but the bay will still have some weird color combo from when you first got it) and maybe even have the ability to slap a decal on the side of your freighter.

Frigates would be nice to customize as well. Creatures, maybe. If you had some sort of laboratory type thing instead of the rng of the egg thing but I'd be fine if you couldn't

Idk, that's just me. I like having full control over my looks and not needing to pray to an algorithm to give me something...

Selling materials to station terminals provides no money [Question]

Hello, I came back to NSM after roughly a 2 year break. I had an industrial refinery capable of producing and storing over 600,000 activated indium units per day.

Usually that netted over 300,000,000 credits per sale when selling these to a random station terminal.

Over the course of last 3 days, I sold over 1,000,000 units to a station but I received literally zero money for some reason. I have 4,5 billion credits, but it haven't a credit further when making the sale.

My one wish for PermaDeath [Suggestion]

So I'm absolutely in love with PermaDeath mode. All my new games, other than the expeditions are PD now. The one big drawback (for me, at least) is that when you die, that's it, there's no way to look and see how far you progressed before 'lights out'.

It would be terrific if after you die, you get a sort of stat screen that shows you how long you lasted, what milestones you had reached, faction, etc.

It's not a big deal, but after the 'Ha Ha, You Died' quote that pops up, it would be nice if there was some sort of 'epitaph' that recaps your life.

How to 3D scan an in-game ship. [Modding]

I want a 3D print of my main ship. I imagine almost every heavy player would. I figured out how to do it.

3D scanners use stereoscopic vision to build a 3d image of an item by exhaustively photographing it from every conceivable angle and extrapolating the 3d image. The VR mode uses a stereoscopic camera and the photo mode can freeze the ship in place and circle it while grabbing screen shots. All this is exported to an outside scan render engine that produces a STL file.

This mod would take a bit of programming and I am still stuck on “HELLO WORLD.” If you were to blatantly steal this idea and successfully implement it the NMS community would revere your screen name forever. There might even be monuments involved.

How long do people usually spend on this game before burnout/boredom? [Discussion]

So guys I have been looking at buying NMS for the past few weeks and purchased it for £20 in the steam sale a couple of days ago. I have currently played around 1.5 hours and am just looking into how people find this game in the long run. Doing this because I am seeing if it is worth keeping or I should refund (because I have seen some other games like satisfactory that have a very long play time for a similar price).

One of the issues I have seen is very repetitive gameplay with no true goals other than to get more resources to sell, with the game lacking in any type of endgame progression cycle. Another thing is that the procedurally generating worlds also seem to get very familiar after you have seen the core concepts of most of them.

From the time that I have played I can tell this game isn't going to have much action (which I prefer (I liked single player games like Red Dead, Spiderman, God of War etc.)) and have seen the story is not very engaging.

However, these are negatives of the game that I have gone specifically looking for. There are some aspects that I already like e.g. base building.

So, my main question is: Does NMS provide a great gameplay experience for a long enough time to justify the price tag?

Proximity Switch and inverter hooked up right, door only opens when I walk away [Question]

My apologies for yet another power door post. I know there’s a million posts about them, and I swear I read through as many as I could stand but no one seems to be having the same issue as me.

I’ve got 2 large powered doors glitched on their side to make a more grand entrance. I placed the power inverter and proximity sensor correctly, I’ve triple checked and redone multiple times. But it’s working backwards i.e. the doors open when I walk away instead of when I walk up to them. But they are absolutely wired correctly.

I’ve seen several posts from 100ish days ago that the power doors weren’t working correctly, I don’t know if I’m experiencing that same bug or if there’s something else I can try?

Survey analysis visor upgrade - how does it work? [Question]

So i just installed this, i followed it to where it said there was a gas hotspot. The onscreen directions say to basically treat it like you do when you are analyzing some new plant or animal etc. But there's nothing for me to click on even when i'm practically standing on top of whatever it is. When i get within 5 units of whatever it is it starts analyzing it on it's own, puts a marker on the compass for it, and thats it. There's still nothing for me to look at or tell me anything about whatever gas it found. There's no actual mark on the ground like when you track down a mineral deposit or salvage data. And when i turn the visor off, the compass marker for it goes away too.

Probably unpopular opinion: I hate the building system in this game [Suggestion]

I love building game. I played Sims, Landmark , Minecraft, Conan Exiles, Fallout 4, Valheim, Ylands, Starship Evo, Stranded Deep and many more. I love building in Games. Out of the llist above Landmark was my favourite building Game but out of the prefab build piece games Id say Fallout 4 (with mods) and Conan Exiles and Valheim.

Every time I decide to give NoMansSky another crack with building I am instantly frustrated at both the clunky system and the way the pieces are not designed to work together. There are too many different standards and sizing and they don't play ball with each other. NoMansSKy should be the pinnacle of build games. A near infinite universe to explore and build in. I appreciate there will be plenty of people who find it perfectly fine and I don't want to take anything away from you but compared to the likes of Fallout 4 and Conan Exiles, NMS doesn't hold a candle to those games for building.

I wish the basic build kit and the small cube set where inter-compatible. That would help enormously. And if the foundations etc fitted in with that sizing snapping I think that would go a long way toward fixing this. I realise the prefabs are not going to fit and that's fine. But there shouldn't be more than 2 standards for snapping and sizing.

Tazbert's Tourist Trail! (Pt1) [Screenshot]

Since I started playing, I've been loving all the different crazy bases out there that people create, but having tried visiting one early on after I got my glyphs, I soon learned that anything large was an annoying lag fest on my old PS4, so I largely avoided and simply looked on adoringly from afar on here with my janky old hardware wheezing away in the background.

This week however, I lucked out and acquired a new PS5. So having got up and running, I decided to take a short break from the NMS graind and spend the weekend visiting a couple of cool bases to test drive the new console. A little vacation of sorts.

First up was u/Kuro_Nons Fallen City of Tyr. A base I've been wanting to visit ever since I'd seen it on here....

On approach...

Nice views from the walls

Top of the pyramid...

Loved this place. Looked awesome from the air on approach and it was a cool 20 minute explore checking out all the different buildings. Great mix of 'ruined' structures and rooms with content. One of those builds that I'd love HG to have more of in the game for us to stumble on. The site for it was perfect and it just sat so well on the planet it was on. Perfect fit.

As I was in the system, I took a quick detour and visited his castle build ('Castle Kuro') on a nearby planet afterwards. What? I'm on holiday!

Strange VR performance, please advise [Bug]

Hi, I have a 10700k and 3080 and play on Quest 2.

Whether using VD or Link the game in VR shows strange issues that sometimes performance is ok, but other times - usually after some kind of transition like a graphics settings change, going to station/nexus, or alt tabbing, it absolutely tanks and needs to be restarted.

I am heavily modded, but it doesn't seem related to that. It appears that the GPU starts using a lot less power for no reason, and causes the framerate to go bad unrecoverably.

Catalogue wiped clean [Question]

Hello everyone,

Has it ever happened to anyone to have their entire catalogue erased all of a sudden? Everything is gone for me. I don't know where that bug is coming from and I don't know if it's serious or if I can just brush it off. It certainly is a little worrying...

Thank you in advance for your replies

No Man's Sky freezing [Question]

So yeah, I've bought the game for my PC, installed it and, after just a few time into gameplay, it consistently proceeds to freeze itself, sometime while opening the inventory, sometime while transitioning between two different areas of the game (for example, while entering the atmosphere of a planet, coming from space).

I've already tried reinstalling the game, uninstalling Nvidia GeForce Experience, verify the integrity of the local files trough the Steam client, upgrading video card driver.

I've already read lots of threads on Reddit regarding the same issue, but it seem I couldn't find the solution, plus every one of those posts are pretty outdated so maybe in the meanwhile a solution has been found.

My system: i5 10400F, GeForce GTX 1650 Super, 24 GB RAM DDR4, 1 TB SSD HD

I would greatly appreciate any kind of help, thanks guys, dunno what to do at this point.

Help for a very confused new player! [Question]

Help please - I'm new to this sub and new to the game. I'm a bit overwhelmed by the scale and seem to be stuck in a catch 22 loop that I don't know how to get out of in order to progress.

I have an objective to set up a Terrain Manipulator. I think this should be done in my Multi Tool. However I don't have any spare slots in my Multi Tool because I have two broken components. The broken components are short circuits and need chromatic metal to fix them. I don't have any chromatic metal. I've googled it and it looks like I need copper in order to make it. However the only copper I can find is in big deposits which... require a Terrain Manipulator to mine. I don't have a Terrain Manipulator because I have no spare slots in my Multi Tool to be able to make them, and so on etc. Again.

Please help - what am I missing? How do I break this loop?!

Power Drain? [Question]

So I have an S class salt deposit and an S class radon deposit on the same base. With no choice but to do 2-1 solar-battery I've made the main "Station" of the base right in the middle. The radon power distribution is fine, it's not connected to the salt mine. However, the salt mine maxes out at 21-25 output and won't even charge the batteries lol Anyone know what's happening? Do I have too large of a base?

Mission Accepted and Mission Complete songs [Discussion]

Whenever a player accepts a mission or turns one in (either a story mission or mission assigned by the local faction) a song will play.

We're able to tell that this is a full song that exists for the following reason: Whenever the game starts, an abridged song will play. This can be a song from the official OST or even the mission complete/accepted themes. I've tried finding the songs in the past, but haven't been able to. If the songs are by 65daysofstatic, there's a chance they exist somewhere. If they're by Paul Weir, Hello Games' audio designer, odds are they might not.

Best way to setup extractors? [Question]

After searching for like an hour and a half i managed to find an A class activated indium spot, and i was wondering what would be the best way to build my extractors and supply depots. I've read around a bit and from what i could gather dividing the extractors in sections with their own depots seems to help, building them vertically too. Anyone got any more tips?

Tazbert's Tourist Trail! (Pt2) [Screenshot]

Having mostly done old castle style stuff on the first leg of this little jaunt, I went for something a bit more contemporary on the second. I've really got an itch in my pants for bases that make the most of the in game contructions HG give us. Planetary archives, ruins, crashed freighers, trade posts etc. So when I saw this one, I had to add it to my 'to do' list.

It's 'Seldom's Last Gamble' a crashed freighter from u/bangodurango.

Joyces IX, you are cleared to land...

Where's the bar?

Main street? I guess? Sort of?

Not many in tonight. Nice pint of GRAH! though...

An architectural delight....

Another fun explore. Lots of nooks and crannies to wander about in. Lots of little loops in and around buildings that would bring you back to where you started before you'd just head off in another direction and find more fun stuff. The build was properly all over the place and have a great 'crashed crew knocked it together to await rescue' feel to it. The main building in the last pic was my favourite though. Brilliantly 'thrown together' look to it. :)

Gave me some real food for thought this one as I've looking to do a similar thing on a planetary archive as soon as I find the right spot. Lots of ideas!

Right, I'd best be back...

Weird Bug with Crashed Ship [Bug]

Ok, this one is pretty specific.

Several weeks ago, I posted a location of a wrecked squid over on NMS Coord. Exchange.

I had a base nearby that was for harvesting 'Curious Deposits' and also to swing by the wreck from time to time and see if any new comm beacons showed up.

Well I found a much better Curious deposit planet and wanted to close down my other nanite base, but I also wanted to keep tabs on the squid wreck, so I set up a base very close to the wreck.

I never claimed the wreck (I found another squid in the same system at a Trade Outpost), so whenever I showed up it was just sitting there.

Now that the base is built, when I load in, rather than a wrecked squid with tentacles fully extended, they are stubby and there is a guy at my base willing to sell me the broken ship. If I wait more than the usual time that a ship sits at an Outpost, the guy gets into the ship and flies away!

Negotiate price for broken ship?

"Hey, wanna buy my broken ship?

Broken ship...that flies away after a minute.

So, now it seems I owned 7 ships [Discussion]

I was in the station that spawns 3 exotics, scrapping away happily when another player showed up to do the same. I got a ship, scrapped it, got my old ship back but the scrapped ship is still there. I went back to my freighter to swap ships, came back and it's still there.

Took the "bonus" ship back to my freighter, swapped, flew back and my other ship is still sitting in the station. It's like I have 7 ships, but can only get 6 onto the freighter.

Teleported from the freighter back to station but it was gone. Kinda freaky, must have been that me and the other guy bought the same ship at the same time

Why NMS needs better, more dangerous combat [Discussion]

Just got NMS on the Steam sale last week. [Discussion]

When the game was originally released I remember it going viral for negative reasons. I always thought it looked cool and my favorite game ffxiv flopped on release too so I took all the negative feedback with a grain of salt. It keeps being advertised on PlayStation and still runs $60 so when I found out it was cross platform and half priced on PC I decided to give it try.

I am wowed by this game so far. The server is clean so far as in just the automated audio chat function across platforms and ease of access of playing together. I have the graphics on max and the game is beautiful. This is the first game in a while that I’m excited to play when I get off work, I even got up early today to put an extra hour in.

I know I’m just scratching the surface with my 5 hours of gameplay, so I’m excited to see what 5 years of development has provided. I play with my long time gaming buddy in another state and he’s been teaching me the ins and outs of what he knows. Realized last night when I got access to the anomaly ship that there are others in the system I play on, totally thought at first it was just my friend and I haha.

I love world builders and survival, a fan of sci-fi and one of my top favorite movies is 2001 Space Odyssey. I feel like I’m at home with this game. Can’t wait to see what all there is to offer in this game.

Coming back to the game questions [Question]

Hi guys,

I bought the game in day one in August 2016.

I wasn't massively disappointed or anything, it obviously wasn't the game I thought it was, but after about 40 odd hours of gaming I had all of the blueprints and felt like I was in a repetitive loop of play... So I traded before Christmas. Here's some questions to help me get back into it:

Will any old second hand copy of the game will give me all of the updates?

Will it feel very similar for the first dozen hours or is it different right from the start?

Can I get more than 40 hours out of it?

Artemis Path mission bugged? (small spoilers) [Spoiler]

I'm on the part of 'Alone Amidst the Stars' where you calibrate the translator. After getting the calibration to 100%, the mission points to me to "Possible Assistance". I've looked on the wiki, so I know it's supposed to point me toward a trading post where I will end up talking to someone, but the mission marker is on a 'Fiery Dreadworld' and the planet seems to be uninhabited. The marker is at an abandoned trade post. I've reloaded, jumped several systems, entered and exited the anomaly (talked to Nada and Polo), and nothing seems to work. Any suggestions?

I know that Elite Dangerous and NMS are different types of games, but playing Elite makes me really respect Hello... [Discussion]

and realize how fluid and well made this game is. Yes, Elite takes a more realistic approach to this massive world, but it's so clumsy and same things that we do in NMS needs twice as much buttons in it. Bad button layout doesn't make a realistic game.

I am really excited about the Elite, but it might be that if things don't change(like if me being stupid and forgetting everything I have learned last time), Elite only gets me to return to NMS.

Thank you Elite Dangerous for making me appreciate what a great and polished(it really is) game NMS is.

How come did all my copper become activated copper? 🤔 [Question]

I've been playing this game for about two weeks now. I just started to find some abandoned wrecked ships at random spots and try to repair them. Some damaged components require 75 units of activated copper in order to get fixed. I have found plenty of copper in several planets, but I hadn't found any activated copper at that time yet.

I moved on and did lots of random stuff other than repairing wrecked ships. At a certain point, while I was carrying all the copper I had in my exosuit general storage, I started doing a secondary mission called Dreams of the Deep. I had to go to a certain location where I found a communications tower. Inside it, I received coordinates of a sunken ship and got an underwater protection module. I installed the module and travelled to those coordinates. The ship was kinda deep in the water. I collected some dropped cargo, claimed the abandoned ship and then returned to my base, which was in the same planet, but a bit too far from that place. I wanted to summon the sunken ship from the base, but I couldn't, because the ship was damaged. So I kinda cheated: I saved the game and reloaded. After that, I summoned the sunken ship successfully. I went in and out of the ship, but I didn't repair anything this time. Then I used a teleporter to get to a space station. There, I melted the sunken ship in order to get some money. The ship disappeared, and another ship of mine appeared in the parking lot to replace it. I sold the scraps and entered my ship.

At this point, I checked my inventory and realized that all the copper I was carrying (about 1000 units) had become activated copper. What the heck!? How did that happen? Is it a bug or something?

I had read something about activated copper being formed in planets with extreme weather. So my initial hypothesis was that the copper became activated under high pressure underwater near...

(Could Hold Spoilers) Has my game bugged out? [Bug]

I've been going to the atlas stations to get all the seeds, I got them all and I made the heart of the sun straight away and then I made the remembrances. I went afk for a while and had some food and left myself at my ship in the atlas station. After I came back I left the atlas and went to warp and seen it dectacted another atlas. So I tried to warp there and the game froze ( happens quite abit on ps5) I reloaded the game and I was at a space station the the same galaxy I got the heart of the sun recipe, but there was no atlas and I had no recipe to make the heart of the sun. I then went to the next atlas it marked for me and when I went into the atlas the dialog says "there is nothing else but the orb. We are alone in the universe" and I don't get the recipe.

So does the game think I'm done that quest? It's still in my quest log but polo doesn't give me the coordinates for atlas when I ask him anyway. Noything shows up in the galaxy map.

you realise you're in a simulation, an infinite amount of simulations exist, Atlas is dying and can't stop it.

Crashing all the time [Bug]

So I started a brand new save, cuz although I had a pretty advanced one going on a year or so ago I know a lot has changed and been added, but it seems to crash all the time! Like maybe every 20 minutes of play or so.

Either windows will shut down entirely, or the game will exit with a popup. It's very frustrating, because I don't always remember to save frequently. I suppose I should get rid used to that, but the most recent one was during a mission from the hub, and you can't save during those.

Is this a known thing, or is it just one of those oh dear you'd better make sure all your drivers are up to date things?

Power generator rage [Question]

Hi everyone.

I'm a day one player. I got to the end of the story mode before Beyond came out.

I have a lot of hours in but I have never gone back to base building because I cannot figure out how to make the electricity work. I live in the real world, I understand plugging things into a power generator but somehow I cannot get it right in video game form.

I have a base. My old base. It has electrical sockets. I built the generator. I powered it up. I take the electrical cables and connect from the generator to the building and no power goes on.

What am I doing wrong? The power generator is running. I'm using the cable to hook it up. And by the way, having to run cables in between every single item is ugly. Why did they make it so that you had to create a power generator and then plug everything in? Why is it so complicated?

It would be one thing if I just had to create a power generator and then plug my bases in. Or my separate entities in my base area in. Why won't the power go on in my base? I must be doing something simple wrong but I do not know what it is.

This is probably because I went through the tutorial and story mode back when it first came out. I know it's changed a lot since then. I'm going to play through the entire game again, but I'm waiting for hopefully the new Kombat Pack 2 come out in July before I dive in so I can have the ultimate new gameplay no man's Sky fun.

Anyway. TL DR

How come when I plug my generator into my buildings no power gets to it.

New update in July? [Discussion]

I read there was going to be a new update to No Man's sky in July that is maybe going to be the combat update that everybody has wanted.

I have been wanting to do a new play through for a while so that I can experience all the new content as the game progresses. But if this is going to come out in July, or soon, I would rather wait because my number one request for No Man's sky was a combat and enemy update.

If I could do a new playthrough with no man's sky that also has a lot of great updated combat as well as all the new fixings, including the robot suit, living ship and whatever that would be fantastic.

Q: Any chance of HG implementing planetary rotations in an update? [Question]

So I'm totally out of the loop with NMS and what the roadmap is, assuming HG even talks about anything, which I'd be incredibly surprised about if they did.

But just wondeirng whether there's any chance at all as to whether NMS might implement realistic planetary rotations in an update? It's one of the things Sean said was in-game (originally) before claiming that it confused players so they turned it off again.

While I can appreciate they'll probably never make proper star systems where the planets orbit their star(s), I'm still hoping we'll at least get an option to be able to have rotating planets instead of the day/night skybox trick.

How do the servers in this game work? [Question]

From what I understand, its a shared world with smaller instances, right? Does this mean that if the developers had to shut down the servers we'd be unable to play multiplayer, or is there a means of hosting private servers?

Question for PS5 users [Question]

I first tried the game on PC about 8 months ago but the game stuttered quite frequently even though my rig was more than capable. Is the game a steady 60fps on PS5? When the game was updated for PS5 i did hear some complains by people. Has it since been fixed?

I tried looking online for a framerate analysis but couldnt find any.

Im fairly sensitive to microstutters so i couldnt get into the game back then.

I wanna buy it on PS5 if its stable, thanks in advance.

How do I work out which space station is in which system? [Question]

Currently trying to get to the right system by teleports is rather a random jump about. Is there a better way to do this without wasting jump drive fuel? Thanks. Also how do I figure out which station relates to which planets? If I want to find a particular planet I can't. Is there a trick to this?

Optimization [Discussion]

I bought this game yesterday and i have to say that i am in love with this game but in order to play it i have to play in 720p resolution and all the settings set in "standard" (low).

I checked the requirements and i thought that i was able to play this game.

I got a Nvidia gtx 950M(4GBvram),intel core i7 and 8gb of ram but apparently this is not enough to play.

Do you suggest any tweaks or optimizations?

PLEASE ADD FOR IMMERSION/REALISM IN SPACE: a new separate galaxy cluster, with realistically composed solar systems with suns in the middle and planets orbiting at vast distances [Suggestion]

ive wanted it since release, and its the one thing aside from the poor behavior/spawning of fauna((life everywhere with no barren spots or regions with no animals or plants on life planets/no roaming/grazing herd behavior, animals have unrealistic/very very dumb reactions to danger/you/and the environment itself, and they dont interact in any way with their environment))that really takes me out of the game.

all that needs to be added to start to fix this is something that existed prelaunch but was taken out because people are simple and get lost easily , and its just as simple to re add probably.

suns with planets actually orbiting them. that and planets more realistically spaced away from each other ((bonus points for distinct biomes and related life for planets)) because right now every planet in every solar system in the game should be torn apart with gravity.

the only two things gameplay wise that might need to change is creating a menu showing the solar system and its planets in a way similar to how elite dangerous set up its system maps.

the second would be to increase the speed traveled in starships relative to the average distance increase between planets so that travel doesn't take literally an hour to cross the system with the current speeds we have in game now

i DONT want the current galactic cluster deleted or changed in any way cosmically that the rest of the player base doesn't also want, but could us that really are completely taken out of the game by these issues PRETTY PLEASE have a realistically spaced/oriented star system galaxy to play all our own,we could still play together in game,just automatically adjust the ship speed of players entering a new realistic galaxy from their own acid trip space...

I just learned a great tip for crafting advanced technology [Information]

This may be obvious to crafting veterans, but it's new to me so I thought I would pass it along.

I enjoy crafting advanced tech as an alternative to the "build an activated indium farm and wait" method of making money. It makes me feel like I'm earning my keep, I guess. :) So I spend a lot of time on building up the components needed to craft fusion igniters and stasis devices. Crafting nitrogen salt and thermic condensate, growing plants, refining carbon into condensed carbon and copper into chromatic metal, etc. All the various components take up a lot of storage space, so I generally have 4 or 5 storage units devoted to plants, crafting elements, intermediate components and the like. This has always involved a lot of manual transfer from exosuit to storage and vice versa.

Yesterday I realized that all of this back and forth is not necessary if your freighter is completely decked out with storage units. You can stand anywhere in a freighter and craft using components that are in any of your storage units! No need to transfer from storage to your exosuit first. The storage units are also available directly from the freighter's inventory tab, which makes transferring completed items back to storage a breeze as well.

From now on, I'm doing all my advanced crafting on my freighter. 1000+ hours in and I'm still learning new tricks. What an amazing game!

The Perfect Glass: What is it? [Discussion and lore speculation]

Several logs and tidbits of lore tell us about a 'World of Glass.'

Here's a quote from an abandoned building: "There is a world in the great void where all things are made of razors and glass. Pity anything of simple, soft flesh that goes there. The glass is thirsty. It is brittle and crystalline, and so very beautiful to behold - but it must drink. You will go there and you will forget my warning. Then it will cut you with an edge so fine that you will feel no pain, and only as your life gushes out to dampen the cracked and broken landscape will this come back to you. Too late. Too late."

This log comes from an experiment conducted by a Traveller or by the member of the Lost Race. What is this other world that they speak of? Is it the way in which sentinels move and replicate? Or is it the ATLAS System's way of providing an analogy for what lies beyond the computer's glass chassis?

A Sixth Sentient Species: Is there a Lost Race? [Discussion]

Many freighter logs, abandoned building terminals, and other text pieces speak of the 3 alien races and the two Traveller races from the perspective of a species that seems to be separate from the others.

Here's an entry that stands out:

This will be my last year running this trade route. I - kzzzkt -

I have a child at home to look after now, or so I am told. My travels must come to an end.

I look around my crew and ponder their families. The Gek are spawned in vast numbers, knowing their parents' identity, but by necessity they are unable to form any meaningful bond. Theirs is a life of competition from the beginning. Perhaps this is what gives them their nature as traders.

The Korvax have no children at all, apart perhaps from the artificial intelligences they create for various experiments. Only the family units of the Vy'keen resemble our own, small units of parents and a number of sibling children, raised as warriors.

Our entire history is one of war and hatred. We are so similar to the Vy'keen, and as I look at my child, I wonder...

Never mind. I will know soon enough, and there is business to take care of before I am home.

This captain couldn't have been Vy'keen, Gek, Korvax, or a Traveller. Who were they? Were their people a species erased by the Sentinels?

Follow up to my World of Glass post [Discussion]

Similarities between Matrix and No Man's Sky are awesome (SPOILERS). [Spoiler]

After finish both Atlas and Artemis patch, as a fan of Matrix, I'm inevitably remembered Matrix Reloaded and the dialogue of Neo with Architect. The inspiration seems clear to me: Our character and any other travelers are Neo and his multiple versions, Atlas is the Architect and perhaps Nada is the Oracle?

To clarify, I think that as a good thing, more a homage/inspiration than a ripoff. As a big difference there is the fact that NMS "chosen one" is capable of interact with all the previous (our perhaps future too?) versions. For me, it's like an expansion of the matrix idea.

Ship Disappeared [Question]

Any way to get a ship back?

Been tracking down abandoned ships. Sold a couple, repaired one (A class), and had 3 others waiting to do something with. I found another one on my home planet. would have been my 6th. I don't think I read closely when it gave me the option of keeping it and suddenly, I couldn't get back into my main ship that was parked right beside. I ended up leaving, thinking it was a glitch and I would be able to switch to it later. Nope. I ended up finding the spot where I had found the crashed ship - took forever but both ships were gone. I read afterward about the 6 ship maximum but the one I grabbed should have been the 6th. Any way to get the A class back or did I just throw away a pretty decent ship?

A theory [Discussion]

I think simulations might be like the ark survival story line if you don’t know what it is, it is where “survivors” wake up and have to fight,craft and travel to different kind of places these places were built by those survivors I think and

Those were built because all those people almost went extinct by there own consumption on “element” it ruined the earth and later on there was a lady at the end explained everything but than that survivor woke up he was in simulation and saw others still asleep Than lastly when he woke up robot explained they were in a simulation for that reason but didn’t get to the point where this massive thing was attacking that place I can’t really explain what happens next but in conclusion they preparing for a bigger fight at the end possibly what’s happening with the so called “atlas”

Strange weather readings for a lush planet... [Discussion]

I have a small base built on a planet in a yellow system that's classed as a 'Flourishing' lush planet.

It has purple glowing grass, a handful of non-glowing trees and the odd plant (none of which glow), a handful of unremarkable creatures, some bubbles, fairly nice but small caves and not much else.

But the weather, both on the discoveries tab and on the HUD, reads as 'Harsh Toxic Wind".

I've never seen that description on any other planet, neither can I find that wording anywhere on the wiki's biome pages. That's not a type of weather that a lush biome can have but it doesn't match toxic or any of the others, either.

I understand that there was a period of time when lush biomes had toxic rainstorms, so it's possible that the weather description for that specific planet went erroneously unchanged all this time?

I also note that the presence of the bubbles and the boundry failure could potentially explain it, but as far as I can recall, every lush boundry-failure planet I've been to has had standard lush-type weather with one of the listed descriptions.

I should note, never in all the time I've spent there has a single bit of inclement weather ever occurred, nor has my hazard protection triggered in any way.

Have any of you folks found odd-ball planets like this one?

Minimum Workload for a Better Impact: A Request for Hello Games [Fan Work]

Everyone that plays No Man's Sky has a wishlist of things that they want to see HelloGames add to the game, and alot of the time these ideas tend to be grand in scale. Requiring loads of new assets and mechanics that take a whole lot of time to create and program.

But what I would like to see more than anything else is for HelloGames to simply adjust and rearrange what's already in the game in order to improve the actual gameplay loop of No Man's Sky.

As it currently stands, the gameplay loop of No Mans Sky is suffering, because even a universe with 18 quintillion planets can get stale quickly if achieving your goals feels like a trivial matter rather than a real investment of your time and effort.

I believe this is partly because when Hello Games adds new content, they want to ensure that players can quickly and easily experience this new content. It's their gift to us and they like to see how excited we are to be playing around with our new toys.

But alot of this content has been around for a while now and the ease of access for these features has seen most of them eventually fall flat and lose the interest of players.

For instance, lets say that I find a cool or unique creature that someone posted on the NMS Coordinate Exchange subreddit and I decide that I want to go tame that creature for myself. It takes maybe 15 minutes to go to the base that I built next to a portal, punch in the coordinates, then go pop a creature pellet in that unique creature's mouth.

That should feel like its own special journey that you were embarking on. But instead it feels like a quick little jaunt across the galaxy to pick up groceries. And it certainly isnt very interesting to watch someone else do on twitch or youtube.

I think it's time for Hello Games to rethink the way we play no man's sky, so that players can become more invested in...

Most efficient way to farm? [Question]

I just got back into the game after a good long while and was looking for the best way to farm. I'm looking for the cheapest in regards to parts, least space and ease of harvesting.

please,ITS TIME,add quasi real star systems with planets orbiting the sun at closer to real space distances(long read/explanation because people misunderstood last time.is a repost/response) [Suggestion]

ive wanted it since release, and its the one thing aside from the poor behavior/spawning of fauna/flora. ((all lifeforms are everywhere and grouped together in ways prey and predators would not be grouped, with no barren spots or regions with no animals or plants to help create diversity the appearance of a balanced ecosystem on life planets/no roaming/grazing herd behavior, animals have very very dumb reactions to danger/you/and dont react to the environment in any way/dont seem to have basic biological needs like food,water,sleep,or shelter during harsh weather, sunbathe or lay eggs for reptillians amongst various other things animals of the various classifications in the game would normally do)) that really takes me out of the game.

all that needs to be added to completely fix my problem aside from the flora fauna wich isint what this post is really about more then to mention it, is something that existed prelaunch but was taken out because people are simple and get lost easily , and its just as simple to re-add probably.

suns with planets actually orbiting them. that and planets more realistically spaced away from each other ((bonus points for distinct biomes and related life for planets but that ties into my flora fauna gripes)) because right now every planet in every solar system in the game should be torn apart with gravity,destroyed by collision,if they werent all going in a zigzag around eachother in no real logical pattern

the only two things gameplay wise that might need to change is creating a menu showing the solar system and its planets in a way similar to how elite dangerous set up its system maps.

the second would be to increase the speed traveled in starships relative to the average distance...

Possible issues with StarSeed/Remembrance [Question]

Wasn't sure if I should use the "Bug" flair or not.

I have been playing since launch, and have completed all major questlines. I have both the Star seed and the Remembrance installed along with 6 s class shield modules. However, I am stuck at 9 max core health.

Everything I've read says that each the StarSeed and Remem should provide 3 more core health when synergized. I have moved/Uninstalled StarSeed with zero impact on my core health.

Did an update change the core health bonus? Am I experiencing a bug? Or did I possibly make a mistake along the way?

How should I go about finding my own system? [Question]

I’ve recently decided that I want to find a better lush planet than the one I’m currently living on, so I found a featured base from the anomaly teleporter in Eissentam. I have been seeing a lot more lush planets because Eissentam is a lush galaxy, but they are already discovered and most have bases on them already. I was really hoping to find my own system and lush planet because of the extra feeling of me being the first one to do it in this system and that sense of independence. How should I be finding my own system? I have been looking for one with a 3-star economy and preferably low conflict. Any help is appreciated.

2 Exotics and an S class explorer in about 20 minutes. Am I just insanely lucky? [Discussion]

I’m only about 5 hours past unlocking the anomaly. First thing that happened is I stumbled on a planet that said it had salvageable resources. That planet had these salvage containers with gold artifacts in them worth 2m+ a pop. They were everywhere too, about every 400 meters.

Farmed those until my suit and ship were full and flew to a trading post. After I sold everything (except a few that weren’t in demand) I look at the docks and there’s an exotic ship! So I snagged that from the man and flew to another system’s trading post to sell the rest. Look at the docks, and there’s an S class explorer sitting there with a 180 base warp range!

All of that would have been amazing luck. I’m starting to kit out my new exotic so I warp back to my home system and go to the space station. Boom, another exotic sitting right there.

I wouldn’t have even been able to afford these ships if I hadn’t originally stumbled across that salvage planet. I spent about 28M all told. Make sure you don’t miss those if you see them! It’s also a great way to farm nanites because 1-3 sentinels will spawn to protect the salvage every time. Nabbed about 2000 nanites in the process as well!

Has anything been done yet about the bug that randomly resets discovery names? [Bug]

I effing loved this game when I played it but I don't want to play it if it's going to keep undoing the reason I enjoyed it, and I really really miss this game man.

I don't know whether or not it's a well-known bug or how many people get it but I know it seems like it used to be talked about a lot, seemingly at random or at least for no reason I've been able to work out all discovery names and ships in my save will randomly reset to their defaults as they were before I named them, and I have to re-visit every single planet in my game to get the server to correct them to the names I gave them, and there's not much point in doing that since they just reset again later anyway. It sucks the fun out of discovering things for me and I can't find my way around anymore when it happens because I don't know the default star/planet names. I reported the bug to them twice over the last year and followed up one with an email, after the second report they asked for my save data so they could check it which I sent them but nothing since.

I don't even know what I'm asking for at this point, since last I checked my discovery names were all still defaulted, but does anyone know anything at all about this bug, whether it's known and definitely being worked on, or if there's something I can do to fix it in my game on my own when it comes up without revisiting everything? I really really want to play this game again and I'm getting kind of desperate at this point. Whenever I see anything space-related I'm like "Ah, space. That was in No Man's Sky, I miss No Man's Sky."

FTR this is on the PS4 version, in case that affects anything.

How does health and armor in this game actually work? [Question]

I'm kind of confused about this. There is what looks like a health bar in the very top left, which decreased when you take damage and then you die if it reaches 0, which makes sense. But then there's some crosses underneath that bar. What are those for? When I started the game there was maybe 4 or 5 of them, but now after playing for a bit, there's 9. Also, there's these white boxes you can open to "regenerate your health"? Everytime I open one it tells me that my health is full, except for a couple of times where one or two of those crosses were "empty" for some reason and then after opening a white box, they filled back up. I don't know what caused them to become empty and I haven't seen them go down, the same way I see the health bar go down if I take damage. Could someone clear this up? Thanks.

planet orbiting the sun,is like,the LAST unfulfilled promise from launch and i need it to play! [Discussion]

its like the most immersion/suspension of disbelief creating non features for me and many others and it was something that murray seemed very excited qbout pre launch,but then again he seemed excited about it all didnt he?

seriously,it kills every ounce of my immersion to the point i cant play more than as long as it takes until i have to spend more than 10 mins in space,planets are pretty,but each planet type needs its own kinds of unique biomes to make each planet in a planet type more diverse and not feeling the same. the past 2 or 3 years ive seen the game as less of a living world and more of a diorama box.

ive just started seeing it as a regular old game with nothing special,even if its plenty special, i just don't feel it anymore. NOT EVEN an alien civilizations corrupted simulation would have suns orbiting planets,or if it did start doing that as a glitch all complex life in the universe would be extinct in a weeks time.

when i try to play,as soon as i spend more then a couple mins in space and all i see 4 big planets and 6 moons all within at most 100k kms of each other just sitting there not moving and the sun revolving around them, and i literally just sigh, save and close the game untill a crave some planetary exploration three months later,or i check out a new update for an hour,think of the space problem in space,and im done agan.

i really just want this one feature, shit id even buy the game again just out of happiness. so it really should just be added already planets orbiting the sun, with planets rotating and some moons rotating at various speeds, planets spaced around one to 5 million miles from eachother, size depending, smaller planets closer together, and bigger ones further from small ones so as to not get planets overlapping and to keep them all visible at some size in the sky or...

So I've been trying to keep an eye out for better starships and came across my first S class ship available to trade and just bought it without really considering it. I now have two haulers.

One is an S class with 31+4 inventory and the other is C class with 40+6. The S class has higher dmg and shields, slightly better hyperdrive (105 vs 133) and better maneuverability (164 vs 214).

I would think the hauler with that much more inventory space is the better choice. It's even with worth more units. The C class is listed as 32.5mil vs 20mil for the S class.

Thinking i should sell the S class - any opinions?

Also have a similar situation with two explorer ships - B and A class. In that case the differences between them are smaller then the hauler. The B class has more inventory but the other stats are slightly lower. But I'll probably sell the B class since it's almost completely broken and I dont feel like fixing it just for some extra cargo slots.

Please Help - I never find any of the ships/freighters in videos or co-ord exchange [Question]

Whether I'm looking for a specific ship or a method for attaining an S class freighter, I follow videos or look on the co-ord exchange but nothing ever plays out like it should. The ships don't show up at the stations, the freighter battles aren't happening, the crashed ships are never at the locations. Am I doing something wrong or has a recent update changed the RNG seed and all of these locations are now useless?

I know I'm going to the right places because they are full of people's message beacons, etc. I have tried with multiplayer on and off... I can't figure it out.

I am on PS5.

Come check this out [Screenshot]

Hey everyone. I build this, come check it out. Planet: Hecom A49. (-31.31, +106.55)

It's in a system that spawns condensed stellar ice, so you can also farm quicksilver here.

Stalking Monstrosity…? [Question]

Just got out of my ship at my base and as I’m walking across the landing pad I almost get one hit by something I cannot see. In the bottom left the little chat said I started taking damage from a “stalking monstrosity”. What the hell is a stalking monstrosity? Any info is appreciated thanks.

Ships [Discussion]

When you compare a crashed ship to yours and it says it’s worth 40 million

Then you scrap it and it’s only worth 14 million

I got murdered while standing in the Space Anomaly station [Question]

I started replaying NMS the other day, after a long gap. Fresh game start and I had just entered the Space Anomaly. Suddenly I hear spacecraft weapons fire and the notification of a player dying. I look out and and there's a ship flying around the Anomaly shooting at players on the ground. Eventually I'm targeted too and I'm killed, and find myself respawning on another space station and have to retrace my steps back. What's going on here? How is it that a player can run amuck and troll other players inside the Anomaly?

Weird donut cult in game? [Discussion]

I met a player in my travels in Euclid, he seemed experienced and sounded around 13 years old and pretty chill, on our 2nd day of play he showed me a base of his called "the temple of donut" a big build with a portal structure and a flying base above it, he showed me his ls called "donut" and this ship wad something else, it did 100k plus damage and he definitely glitched to get it but I asked him and he blabbered on about how his ls is a "donut god" I didn't believe him and he didn't really care, apparently his base was a community base for PlayStation communities before they were removed. Anyone have any leads on who tf this kid is and his whole god complex? He's on ps4 in euclid.

I feel like such a jerk😂 [Meme]

I would go specifically to Vy’keen solar systems and destroy fleets for resources because I hated how loud and obnoxious they were…

But then I read about them in the milestones tab in NMS and I hate sentinels just as much as they do! They are pretty cool and the whole time I’ve been destroying all of their ships😑

Unpopular opinion living ships [Discussion]

I don’t know why but I don’t find living living ships attractive for me they look like a giant insect, they literally creep the living shit out of me, although there are cool colourways and I’ve had one I’ve never liked looking at it just looks like a giant bug and doesn’t give me that same buzz near my crotch area as a fighter does

Your worst planets [Meta]

We've all seen planets with crazy storms, or planets that are devoid of life, or ones with aggressive sentinels that shoot on sight. These are not that unusual. But every now and then, a planet pops up that is just so noxious that it gets permanently burned into your mind. These are the zero-star-rating planets that suck the joy out of the rest of the solar system.

Mine came many, many years ago when the game was first released. It was a beautiful garden planet teeming with life according to the scanners, almost no sentinels, and the first I found with floating islands. So I landed, got out of my ship...and died so fast I didn't even have time to react.

I didn't know it at first, but I was hit from behind and the sides by multiple predatory crabs and crab-mantises. And then I respawned, and died again, almost as fast.

I don't even remember how I lived through the second respawning; I must have jumped in my ship fast enough to avoid the instadeath. And that's when I saw them: dozens, literally dozens, of crabs and crab-mantises, all with super speed (I don't think super speed crabs and crab-mantis predators are a thing anymore, or at least, I've not seen any in the last couple of updates).

I flew around for a bit, trying to find a safe landing spot, but everywhere I touched down there were predators around my ship and in the distance. Until I found a building by sheer luck, and was able to jump out and run for it. I turned around just inside the entrance, where you are far enough in to be safe from attack, but not far enough to disable your scanner. That's when I got this screenshot:

Every one of those green dots is a predator

The entire planet was nothing but supercharged predators.

Help! "This save is incompatible with this version of No Man's Sky, and cannot be loaded." [Bug]

So I was playing this evening and had to reboot my computer while the game was open. After the reboot, I tried to load my game. My save is greyed out and when I try to click on it, it says "This save is incompatible with this version of No Man's Sky, and cannot be loaded."

I did a quick search and saw two main fixes for occasions of this, the first is a save editor that I don't know how to use and couldn't get to run, and the other is reinstalling the game, which didn't work.

Can anybody out there help me fix this? If I can't get this save back, I might be done with this game. I'm not interested in starting over from scratch.

Cartographer Help [Question]

New to the game.. I'm trying to get Cartographer (Commercial) but when I finish up one of them.. it doesn't clear, and now I can't use more.. how do I abandon old cord maps?

Secondary mission objective help [Question]

I’m really new to this game, almost 10 hours in. I’ve got a couple secondary missions i want to complete but they’re confusing and frankly really frustrating. the first one is asking me to take photos of a specific (frozen) world, and the objective says ‘Reach the target planet’. What target planet? there’s no map or marker showing me what this ‘target’ planet is and when i land on a general frozen plant, nothing seems to trigger.

second mission, the objective is to ‘destroy sentinels’, 3 to be exact. the subtext says locate sentinels on the planetary surface. again, i could find any markings on a specific planet so i found some sentinels randomly and killed like 10. nothing registered. does it want me to kill sentinels in a very specific area.

this is really fucking annoying and turning me off from an otherwise awesome game. please tell me im missing skmething obvious because i want to enjoy these side quests and at least finish one without having to abandon. thank you.

How certain is it that there is one exotic ship design in every system? [Discussion]

So I'm finally at the point of seeking out an exotic ship to add to my collection, and just because it felt appropriate, I thought I'd start with the exotic ship of my home planet. It's a 3 star economy so it should have a good chance for both exotics and S class non-exotics. So I went searching, and found no exotic ships, started watching youtube videos and browsing reddit posts discussing the mechanics of ship spawning and probabilities etc.

Fast forward to about 8 hours later and I still haven't found the exotic ship of my home system. I would have given up ages ago and moved on to search other systems a while ago but now it's become almost a point of honour. I've sat at trading posts on every planet in the system, in case it was geared to only spawn on one planet, with no luck. I've sat at the space station for a long time as well. I've repeatedly reloaded saves to force the first wave or two of ships in, and I've gone lengths of time with no reloading to just let the steady stream of ships come in and out. Nothing. I've watched 1000+ ships in and out at this point.

I'm slowly starting to come to the conclusion that some systems simply don't have an exotic ship design in their pool. However, this flies in the face of pretty well every other reddit post and youtube video and even the wiki which says that there has to be an exotic ship design in each system. Have I just had a terrible run of luck? Even at a 1% spawn chance, statistically I should have seen about 10 of them come through by now. My question is, how sure are we that there is definitely one exotic design per system?

Golden vektor trade [Question]

I really don‘t want to be that kind of guy but I missed my chance of a golden vektor because of my exams and now that I‘m finally done it‘s of course too late. I‘ve been playing the game since the beginning and I just learned that you can actually duplicate the golden vektor by trading the ship and then reloading the auto safe. So if anyone would be willing to help a fellow interloper out that would be great! I‘m in Eissentam but I can also go back to euclid.

How to make money with loads of Carbon? [Question]

Hi folks,

Came across a planet where these little plants inside caves give oodles of carbon and frost crystals. Talking like 300 carbon per plant and maybe 50 odd frost crystals. End up with a full container of carbon.

By themselves they aren't worth much. Suppose I can whip up some condensed carbon and play the economy crashing game with it, although I've got 7 stacks of cobalt and a few gold as well building up as I roam around ADHD style lol.

Haven't played the game for a couple years, was gonna do carbon crystal but they are gone :(

Any better suggestions?

SPOILERS. need help [Spoiler]

So I rejected the atlas and chose to not reset the simulation. That was a few weeks ago now and I've since changed my mind, Problem is I can't seem to find an atlas station anywhere I've spoken to polo several times and requested atlas locations and nothing. Am I doing something wrong or do I just keep warping around untill I find one? I am currently in Eissentam galaxy if that matters.

I have 24hrs on Steam. Over 15 of those belong to the period between launch and loading screen. Please help me get this game to actually run [Discussion]

My game freezes and then my whole system becomes unresponsive, requiring a force boot. In the past, this would just happen randomly. Sometimes after 5min of gameplay, If I'm lucky after 30mins. I'd love to actually play this game but I'm at my wits end, to be honest.

I haven't gotten beyond the initial loading screen for a week now. I have not been able to determine specific gameplay situations, it just happens randomly after a short time of gameplay. It happens in singleplayer, it happens in multiplayer. It happens with new save games, it happens with old save games. Here's a list of what I tried so far: Hardware swap (RAM, GPU) DDU and clean re-install of graphics drivers Integrity check Re-install game files Re-install Windows Modify RAM setup (XMP disabled) Modified graphic settings

None of these attempts yielded any results, whatsoever. At best, I can get the game to load and put me into my save position but then it just crashes and freezes after a couple of minutes.

I found this thread which comes close to my described issues but none of solutions worked for me. It seems like that a lot of NMS players struggle with crashing and freezing - do you have any tips for me? I already contacted Hello Games but they haven't reached out to me yet.

What to do after finishing the game? [Question]

So I finished the game about a week ago and I did all there was to do in terms of missions.

So I started looking for things to do after that, so I did a couple missions on the nexus for quicksilver, got myself a void egg, and got a living ship. Now I really did all I could.

I don't want to start a new game just yet, because I feel that all my work would have been for nothing if I did all this and then just started a new game.

I finished the Artemis and Atlas quest lines and did all there was to do.

Something that is bothering me however, is the fact that I see people that have a red UI in their inventory after what I guess would have to be finishing the atlas path. But I didn't get the red inventory... Why not? I birthed a new star. (tho for some reason it let's me do it again)

So, what are some things I can do to keep playing this save file? And how do I get the red UI?
