Question for New/Newish Players [Discussion]

I make a Nexus trip everyday. During that time I like to share the wealth with any new players I find and really anyone else that is not running away to fast. I'd like to know,

Which of these would you like to receive, if I happened to bump into you in the Anomaly?

Space Battle not spawning [Question]

Just came back to the game to see what the last couple of updates are about. Been playing 60+ hrs & no space battles. Been thru black hole, warping to high conflict sytems, played well over the 3 hrs in one session. Nothing. Was it changed in the last update?

This might be controversial but the game should have microtransactions [Discussion]

Yea we get it, the game has been released way too early and most of the updates were to deliver what they promised. However, they are giving more and beyond. I bought the game and I'm having a blast, I do feel like supporting the team behind the game more but there is literally no other way to do so.

Microtransactions to buy Quicksilver would be nice, they could keep it earnable by completing Nexus missions but for those like me who wanna support the game more and speed up the process of getting the cosmetics, they could buy Quicksilver. It should be cosmetic only, I find the Quicksilver shop built very suitable for it.

I think this may get lot of downvotes but I'm curious to hear what you guys think.

I have a bug in Ghosts in the machine [Question]

I’ve been to 9 different atlases for the mission and each time it tells me to go somewhere else. Is this a bug, or am I doing something wrong? I read that you are given the cylindrical housing and pavement during this mission, and I already have unlocked both in the anomaly. Does this cause the bug? Is there a way to fix it? I am thankful for any and all help.

Trying to come up with a crackpot way to transfer ships across profiles. Do you think this will work?? [Question]

Okay, so like, title.

I am very aware that there is no way in-game (yet) to transfer a ship between two accounts outright.

However, let's say that you were to log into 2 accounts on 2 separate screens, the Old Account and the New Account.

Now let's say those two accounts join the same session and go to the same trading post. Both Accounts land their ships on the TP landing pads and they can both see the others ship.

Old Account trades their Old Ship for a random one at the TP.

In theory, it would become an NPC ship right?

So then, as long as the area doesn't reload and the NPC doesn't fly off, shouldn't the New Account then be able to purchase the Old Ship from the NPC?

I'm looking for thoughts on this before I go through the effort of hooking up 2 consoles on 2 screens in the same room lol.

Thanks for any insight!!

Nexus player cap [Question]

Is there a technical reason why consoles are capped at 8 players in the Nexus, but PC gets 32. Since it's cross-platform I assume all versions use the same servers. I've noticed the same thing in other games where consoles have a lower server cap compared to PC. So what's the reason, if any.

Accessing my Base Salvage, can't open. [Question]

A new type of non-Aeron Sentinel Drone for guarding certain alien POIs [Suggestion]

It makes no sense as to why sentinels guard resource depots and manufacturing facilities. In fact, sentinels would want to destroy facilities that exploit planets. So instead, I propose a different type of drone used to guard these alien facilities.

The same can go for system authority starships, which are different to sentinel interceptors.

So I’ve been thinking about getting NMsS for my pc. But can my graphics card run it? [Question]

So I’ve put many many hours into it on PS4, but for several reasons (yes possibly modding for fun is one of them), but idk if my card can handle it.

Everything else like Vram or cpu is matching or above minimum, but it says “Radeon 7870” as its minimum graphics card strength can handle.

But I have a Radeon RX580

Idk where to compare these cards, I google card comparison and it only shows modern up to date cards. So can anyone with this graphics card or know about graphics cards able to tell me if it can run on my pc, or if I am stuck playing NMsS on my PS4

Able to recharge tech from resources in secondary ship? [Bug]

I keep finding that I'm able to recharge my equipment on my exosuit with materials not in my inventory. Best I can figure is that at least some of them are coming from a second ship of mine I essentially use for bulk storage (though some of the resources I'm able to use I don't even have there). My ship usually isn't even spawned, let alone near me, yet I can always seem to access it when I'm trying to refill things like life support or hazard protection. It doesn't have a receiver or really any extra tech besides the basic feature. I'm certainly not complaining, it's incredibly helpful, but I am confused as to why this is happening.

Missing Exotic Ship [Question]

So, I was trying to help my partner hunt for a max slot s class explorer while he had a nap and ran into an exotic ship. I sat with the trade screen open for a while trying to work out if I could buy it and scrap for parts as he had an exotic on his freighter already. Bit the bullet, bought the exotic for 12m and scrapped it. All is well. His current explorer is still in the station hanger and now his fighter is too. Odd. Then another exotic appears while I'm distracted. Same same, different style. Buy that too and scrap again. Now he's back, gone to check his freighter and the exotic he had there is gone? I'm a bit confused whether I broke it or somehow bought and scrapped a ship he already owned. The two I scrapped were both the double nose model, his had no nose and a long tail. Anyone else had this issue? Is it a big or did I somehow destroy his of without it even being in the same galaxy yet? 🤦 He's uh, not very happy....

How do you get your ship unstuck from a sentinel freighter warping into you? [Question]

I was constantly having them chase me, no matter how many I wiped out, cleared their freighter and flew off, as soon as I was out of range "hostile scan detected", after the 4th freighter, it warped into me and I was stuck inside the walls of it, bouncing around just taking damage, I could fly around inside of it, but as soon as I got to the outer walls it would just damage my ship and not let me exit, my only choice was to die. This was bullshit and it's amazing something like this hasn't been fixed. What can I do other than dying in the future? I'm pretty new to the game overall. Thanks in advance everyone.

Do Freighter Interiors Reset Upon A New Purchase [Question]

Sort of a strange question but also pretty simple

I was under the impression that any renovations I had made to the interior of my freighter would be lost once I ever bought a new one — so thus I never fully built out the inside of my first low tier A Class, since I was always planning to upgrade.

Well, today I finally bought a new freighter, and to my surprise — the few storage units I had added to my previous freighter’s interior carried over to the new one!

Now sadly, this new freighter is still only a higher tier A Class — so I’ll still be looking for that illusive S Class, which I’ll be upgrading to whenever I can find one.

My question comes at this newfound realization that the interior may not fully reset; and so I’m wondering about exactly that — if I can fully renovate/decorate my freighter in confidence that my rooms/storage/furnishings etc. will all carry over to my newest purchase. Otherwise, I would probably elect to wait until I acquire my Endgame S Class Freighter, to build out the interior all the way... Thanks for the help!! 🙏🏼

Battlefront 2 2005 space battles [Suggestion]

I see potential for NMS to make combat in space like Battlefront 2 2005 did.

Where you can destroy parts of the ships from the outside and inside, and in the end destroy the whole ship.

Being able to infiltrate the enemy ships to destroy it from the inside, and having enemies infiltrate your freighter, and being able to steer gunners on your freighter.

Probably been suggested before, but I believe most people want something like this in the game.

Discoveries not showing up in Menu [Question]

Hey there,

I started a new game on PS4 and somehow my discoveries do not sync. I have only two systems shown up in the discoveries Menu and even if I visit planets in those systems they still show up as "Unknown Planet" (not if a target them from space but only in the menu).

Also, it keeps telling me that I lost connection to the online discovery services and I don't know how to fix it, since my network and network settings are fine.

It really sucks because for those missions I need a special planet for I can't simply look them up in the discoveries tab but have to fly to every planet to check it out.

Any hints on that?

Shoot monstrosities with the Minotaur Cannon! [Suggestion]

Why didn't I think of this sooner? If you're doing the Nexus missions and don't really care about the whispering eggs that much, just hop in your Minotaur, saunter around and blast them with the cannon. They can't touch you and you don't have to worry about extreme weather as the Minotaur protects against elements.

If someone has mentioned this before, sorry about that. I just found this out and had to share! I'm at a point where money is no longer an issue, and I'm just farming quicksilver.

Although, to summon the Minotaur you'd have to have a base in the same solar system. Maybe this tip isn't quite as useful as I first thought..

How am I back in Euclid? (Spoilers-Beware!!) [Question]

So... I made it to the center and choose the green one to reset the universe to and then off I went into Eissentam (sry if I misspelled it but words are hard in NMS lol)

Now I mainly play by myself since most of my friends don't play it anymore or never did but once in a while I'll jump on with one and play with them.

I mention this since none of them made it to the center so they are all in Euclid so I'm thinking it had something to do with that.

How to escape this planet [Question]

I'm a noob and just following what i'm told to do by the log etc. my second planet where i was told to go is a hellscape, its 55 degrees and seems to be gradually killing me even under ground when the temperature is reasonable (possibly radiation or toxicity or something).

I was planning on finding the blue crystals to just get starship fuel to get off planet and try and find a planet where i can stand outside without dying, but i keep dying trying to find them, then all my equipment breaks etc.

I need oxygen or blue crystals and both seem pretty rare on my planet, the only way seems to be to mine underground and hope to hit a cave that has some dangerous plants that i can mine for oxygen, but all the blue crystals are above ground and rarely find them. can't stay outdoors for long without dying. help please :(

Infinite Nanites. [Discussion]

TL; DR USE AT YOUR OWN RISK. You can lock a refiner in a state where it infinitely outputs it's contents. FREIGHTERS ONLY

There was a post about a refiner infinitely spitting out Nanites. Couldn't find the post but the author knows who they are so thanks for the hint. I investigated the exploit with inconclusive results as in I still haven't dialed in on a 100% consistent procedure but I can get it to work. My experiment 1.Start a refining (stationary) process of any item that takes about 3 or more minutes (keep this in mind), 2. run to the garage, 3. fly out just enough to re-summon the freighter, 4. park your thing, go back upstairs, // here is the bit where the refiner "loses" your stuff. also found that you fall out of the freighter if you boost through doorways, 5. without hestitation, do a manual save on the freighter. 6. reload the manual save. 7. if the refiner is still idle and empty repeat steps 2, 3 and 4. 8. if the refiner returned the process You should now be able to collect its contents. closr it, open it again and get everything again. This also includes the input slot so You are getting infinite whatever You refine. safest way to reset this is to rebuild the refiner slightly off its original position. This works with the nutrient processor as well.

Minotaur idea [Suggestion]

I think it would be awesome if you could use the Minotaur as a mobile construction rig. what I mean is you should be able to build your base while in the Minotaur. You could even come with certain perks- like reduced building cost or increased hostile environment. You could even store all of your building materials in there for ready access in a big built.

The super detailed building is wasted in this game, as it is in Valheim [Discussion]

IMO.

I am very much enjoying no mans sky. I had just come from Valheim and noticed the same pattern in both games. The designers craft a huge open world to play in with the focus on resource collection and building/crafting. They include so many little details for the crafting, lamps, couches, tables, red lights, blue lights, etc. My issue is that all this is completely wasted in the game because it has no actual practical use. I do love making the bases, but at the end there is only a hollow feeling left because the base if effectively useless for anything other than crafting. Its not a MMO, Its not even really meant for multiplayer. It slowly kills your soul knowing that your detailed crafting will never be enjoyed by anyone else alongside you. (some people of course do group up, but its not the norm)

So put more energy into other parts of the game and leave out the 10 different styles of lamp.

Help regarding base power supply [Question]

I've only recently come back to the game so powering bases is new to me. My base currently seems to run on 360kp, and during the day generates 500kp.

Ive got 10 solar panels generating that kp. But during the night obviously they don't work, so I've put down I think 7 batteries, but I feel like they're not doing anything, at least not the last few I added. During the night I only have 250kp available.

Am I doing something wrong? I think there are a few possibilities, maybe the batteries are fine and I just need to add more, but any advice on this subject would be appreciated as someone who's very new to this.

I finished the main story today. [Spoiler]

So I finished the main story today, the ending was an emotional rollercoaster. I had to get through half of it with tears streaming down my face.

I don't know why, but a quote from Nada and one from Apollo made me burst into tears. "We will see each other many times again. You have been a good entity." and "Although we didn't know each other for long, I'm proud to have worked with you."

Although I knew deep down that everything would go back to normal, that didn't stop from almost crying again when I saw Nada and Polo alive and well after the end. I'm happy knowing Apollo is fine as well, wherever he is.

There is one question I have though, since the simulation is running normally again, doesn't that mean Atlas lives? And if so, what resurrected him? My guess is that it would it have been whoever activated Atlas in the first place. Which would make sense since the simulation has apparently reset countless times before and it will reset countless times more.

My honest thoughts after 3 weeks playing NMS in VR. [Suggestion]

I have been looking for an imersive vr game for a while now and nms seemed to tick all the boxes. My expectations were not only met, they were blown away!

After playing for a few weeks now, and having the initial rush of vr ware off a bit, I am noticing some small areas of improvement that would just put the icing on the cake.

no option for left handed players

This for me was a big one. Having to learn the mechanics right handed was a bit shit. It makes my aim atrocious and God help me of they ever release pvp. Which brings me on to point 2

very little, to no pvp

I've noticed a lack of battle mechanics in general? Maybe I'm missing something?

shaders inside the cockpit

I feel the cockpit needs allot of redoing. The stick is awkward, sensitive and ugly. Also I've noticed, if there is a storm outside it completely alters the shading inside the cockpit. I.e it looks like the storm is inside your ship. There are also weird lines connecting the planets (look like travel lines) which always glitch into a mess.

more base parts that are harder to obtain

It seems unlocking the base parts went far too fast. Maybe there's a bunch I've still to get which aren't on the anomaly. I'd love to see base invasions, defending a base, or something along those lines implemented in the future

It sounds like I'm hating on the game. Far from it!! This is the greatest gaming experience I have ever had. With a few more screws here and there this could be a game for the ages!

Technical Help Needed: How can I stop the cloud from overwriting my backup save? [Answered]

Per the title. I have a backup save I'd like to use. I know where the save files are located, but when I launch the game the steamcloud overwrites them with the currently active saves.

Also, if the solution to this involves disabling the cloud save feature, how can I get the cloud to update itself to the preferred file once I've swapped over?

I tried googling it, but mostly just got people asking for help with recovering things from the cloud rather than trying to replace things within the cloud.

All help is appreciated, thank you so much!

Edit: I figured it out! You have to open the game, then replace the save, and close the game. Steam will upload the current saves in the folder to the cloud. Going to leave this up in case someone else is googling to try and find an answer later down the line.

So i just recently found an item called ,,frozen hearts", and the description said something along the lines of ,,If the owner doesn`t sell this item immediatly, the creature this once belonged too will hunt it through the galaxy and beyond".

So i happened to meet a merchant on my way to a spacestation, gave the heart to him, and moved on.

At first i was a bit scared, but now i kind of regret it, like, i woul absolutely love to have a fight against somes ort cosmic abomination with my freighter and fleet.

Lets say i would find another one of these, would it be wise if i just keep it and wait for it to come, or would it just end in some sort of deathtrigger?

Does the beginning of the game suck ass or did something break when I tried to play with my friends [Question]

We spawned in and did the little checklist of things to get our ships repaired, as soon as we left the planet's atmosphere a bunch of enemy ships come in and start attacking including a really big one. We thought this was supposed to be a tutorial for ship combat but we realized that the enemies just kept spawning and that we each had our own set of enemies that the others couldn't see/interact with so we decided to run away and go to the next objective on the other side of the planet. The second we land our ships and get out a fuck ton of enemies spawn (a big walker and a bunch of little things) and the shitty little lasers we had did fuck all to them, so we run around trying to make fuel to take off while getting gunned down but we manage to get fuel and take off to shoot the enemies from our ships. We kill them after a while so we land but all the enemies we had just killed respawn the second we get out. At this point I start trying to figure out the objective while the enemies are on my friends hoping it was something we could do quickly and leave. The game wanted me to use a visor that I didn't have yet so we just stopped playing.

Can someone just tell me what the fuck happened, did we miss objectives or something? I'm wondering because that was an absolutely miserable experience but I keep hearing how good the game is now so I'm considering giving it another shot.

How to became a nms pro gamers [Question]

Hi everybody, I’m enjoying this fantastic game with about 40 hours of playing. I’ve 2 ships 1 frigate but still doing the main quests. I see in this forum gorgeous things, and I can’t figure out how most of that can be achieved. There are no official guides, so I’m asking to this community. What is the mandatory paths that you suggest to follow? For example I read that the atlas pass is very useful, but I have only got some minor bonuses. Also, when I arrive to a planet I search randomically for buildings, any other best options? Thanks everybody

Egg Sequencer bugged or me being stupid? [Question]

Hey everyone, I got gifted a companion egg ~2 weeks ago by user MisterPandaaa at the anomaly. I hatched it two days ago without saving to see whether I liked it, and it was a large yellow butterfly. I reloaded and tried to re-sequence the egg to make the creature smaller. But when I put the egg into the sequencer, no matter what material/resource I put into the "Growth Hormone" slot, it always indicates that the size of the creature will increase. This doesn't happen with other eggs I have. I can change the personality meter normally, but not the size meter. Is it impossible to modify creature eggs that were gifted to you in certain ways, or is this a bug/glitch?

Thanks in advance for any replies!

High-carbon cave plants (coordinates) [Information]

Hello folks! I heard that people were looking for planets with good carbon resources. I estimate that you get over 175 carbon from each cave plant here. (280 with my +50% resources upgrade.) There's also a fair number of storm crystals around. As an extra bonus, it's VERY close to the center of the Euclid galaxy.

My base is called Precipice and you're welcome to visit my cozy wood cabin. Just watch out for the extreme storms.

Want to play NMS on PC but don't want to abandon my ~150 hour PS4 save. Convince me to start over, please. [Discussion]

So within the last few months, I've pretty much completely moved from PS4 to PC. I'd love to play NMS on PC and take advantage of all the new Prisms stuff and just better performance in general and all that (not to mention the fact that my TV is only 720p while my PC monitor is 1080p, so going back to anything on PS4 is difficult now), but I'm having a lot of trouble with the idea of abandoning my PS4 save, which I've been playing on since launch and have achieved so much on. I know there's no cross-save between PS4 and PC, and I've looked into the possibility of using a save editor to convert my PS4 save to PC, but that doesn't seem like a thing that's possible?

I don't know...I hate the idea of starting over after all this time, but I do really want to play NMS on PC. Someone convince me one way or the other, please.

I don't fully understand how multiplayer works [Information]

I admit I won't get to play the game until next week, so maybe it's unfair that I'm uttering questions already, but I'd love to understand something just to keep my expectations not too high.

So I've read multiplayer is limited by 32 players by instance.

-It's always the same 32 players?

-If you all knew where my planet was, could theoretically any single one of you visit it? Even if not everyone at the same time, could that be possible?

I mean, could be possible for me to stumble into every single one of you or am I just locked into the same 32 players?

Honestly I've never been to social stuff, and I know the universe here is big. But are we all here truly connected in the same universe in the game? I think if that's the case I'd find it very awesome, and again, I've never liked multiplayer.

Thanks in advance.

Save File Crashing Outside of Multiplayer [Question]

Hi! So, I’m having a tough time with this one. I landed on a planet, jumped out of my ship, and my game crashed. I rebooted the game, loaded, and crashed. Restarted console (PS5) then loaded and crashed. All of this is before I can even see my character. So, I tried jumping on my two other files. No problems. Then I joined on friend with my bugged save file, and it was fine. But multiplayer doesn’t let you save your position. So, when I join on someone, I’m good. But when I go to load in single player, it crashes. The planet I landed on must be bugged or something. But how do I create a save that doesn’t load me there? I tried joining my friend, leaving group, and disabling multiplayer. Unfortunately, it still doesn’t save your position. Any ideas? Thanks for reading and helping.

PS5 performance [Question]

Hey, i made a post asking about PS5 performance a few weeks back and people did tell me there were some stuttering/hitching issues with the game, so i knew what i was getting into.

I first played the game about 8 months back on an overpowered rig. The constant microstutters and hitching kinda killed the experience for me. Even though on the FPS counter it never dropped below 120 fps, smooth it was not.

I knew i was gonna try the game again once the next gen consoles dropped. Because develepors typically spend more time optimising console versions than they do PC (in my experience) So i was hoping the game would be a 'relatively' stable experience. I asked reddit and reddit told me the performance still isnt perfect, but that stutters dont happen 'too often' Im okay with the occasional dip in performance aslong as its not too frequent. Although i am glad to say the PS5 version is atleast more stable than the PC version ( it was 8 months ago so idk if PC got any patches improving performance), its not by much. I am VERY sensitive to microstutters so this was kinda a bummer. Is there anything i can do to improve it? Maybe i could turn off the online function so people cant join my game? I dont know if that would fix anything though. There is 1 way to disable the hitching on PS5, but its not an acceptable solution. Its turning on the framerate lock but that locks it to 30. Yea, thats not happening.

The PS5 is barely 2 months old and this is the ONLY game out of the 15 or so games i played on the system that exhibits this issue.

I REALLY wanna play this game. I was thinking of just going back to PC in hopes that i will be able to troubleshoot and fix the issue. But considering consoles have the same issue, im not sure i will be able to

The specs on my PC are:

32 GB DDR4

I7-8700K

RTX 2080

temps are fine

If anyone knows an 'easy' way to fix this on PC, please...

Always having the quest objective/Reminders/instructions on the bottom right of the screen.

For me, it ruins my immersion in the game when all I want to do is explore, but there is something on the screen to reminded of a quest or what I need to look for when I run out of supplies. IMO, they should update this, by either allowing the player to disable it, or by taking it away for hard difficulties. Anyone else feel this way?

Damaged save slot? PS5 [Bug]

I started having some little issues with my game - it would crash when I was teleporting, and often land me outside the building that contained the teleporter. Then a few days ago it crashed again. This time however I was not able to reload that save slot. So, my 200hr+ saved game appears to be corrupted, but my other two are fine (perma and exp). The game has synced with the cloud, so I can't see downloading the saved data working.

Does anyone have any suggestions? I had a pretty sweet existance going there. An S class AI farm, directly next to a Runaway mold spot, 4 exotics, heaps of cool stuff and now I'm left with nothing...

Sliding around when panning on Xbox [Bug]

So I'm currently starship spotting. I have found that large trading posts are usually the best for that as there's a lot of traffic. There are sweet spots that give you a good view of the 7 landing pads, but you need to pan around more or less constantly. When I do that my character slides away from the sweet spot and eventually ends up outside the platform´s protection. That is annoying. I try to prevent that by standing against some object, but that doesn't work too well.

Question about base building [Question]

Hi,

I've been playing with the game a bit more recently, after leaving it aside for a few years, and I enjoy base building, but there's one thing I find quite frustrating.

We have three kind of 'structures' we can use to build our bases - large rooms, small rooms, frames & foundations, but they don't seem to connect very well, unless I missed something?

Most screenshots seem to show people using frames and foundations and it seems to be more flexible, but... there are some modules you need to connect to small or large rooms (in particular the Trading Hub).

What do you do in general? Do you stick to frames and foundations? Do you try to mix and match, and if yes how? If not, how do you deal with the Trading Hub?

Thanks in advance!

Stuck in a infinite death loop after teleporting to someone's base [Help]

I was at the anomaly so i wanted to check player's bases, one base titled "SUPER RARE S CLASS FIGHTER" got me curious so i wrapped there, and first thing i heard "extreme heat damage detected", "shield down", and then i died.

i was confused because i had no idea what happened. i died couple more times because now it's infinite, i get 5 seconds of living untill i magically take enough heat damage and die. i spammed X to bring out the menu so i could go back to the anomaly. i did that but then realized my inventory and my precious stuff are back in that base at my death stone. long story short i did my best but i couldn't recover my stuff then my game crashed! so i can't go back to the anomaly, my autosave is inside that base.

the "base" is a metal box, my spaceship is inside the base, and if i get inside my ship i still die. what do i do???

Are freighter spawns type-locked? [Question]

I've spent the past hour warping to different systems trying to get a sentinel type freighter to spawn but all I'm getting is Venator class. Different races and different economies. Only getting venator class types.

Are freighter types locked once you get one to spawn? I am trying to get an S class Sentinel to spawn but I can only get venators to spawn.

Steam Global Achievements for NMS says that only 68% of game owners have made a base, 22% have made an exocraft, 11% have visited another player's base, and 1% have gone through the center in survival mode. Can you imagine a fresh set of game achievements given the all of the new content? [Discussion ]

What are additional achievements that might be noteworthy given recent updates and new content?

Pure Ferrite Glitch [Bug]

Maybe this is common knowledge as I'm new to the game, but I found a glitch which awards you free pure ferrite very easily. All you need to do is build a base computer, research the cylindrical room blueprint and collect 250 pure ferrite to build this room. Once you've done all that just delete the room, and instead of receiving a refund of 250 pure ferrite, you receive a refund of 290 pure ferrite (I'll let you do the math).

Found this completely by accident because I keep annoyingly deleting my stuff by hitting the wrong buttons.

Help! I lost the portal for the main quest line! [Bug]

I have the 16/16 mission to follow the leylines to a portal and activate it.

When I first got to the location there was no portal so I just left and carried on with other missions. Now this is all I have left to do but I can't find the portal. I have found other portals with this mission active and nothing happens.

This mission does not give me a marker and I've traveled very far to see if I can reset it. Nothing works. I've traveled to too many planets to be able to figure out which planet it was supposed to be on.

Starahip speed (Pulse Engine Modules) [Question]

Did anyone make the expeirence whether having 6 pulse mods actually makes you go faster?

My fighter ship has all Boost upgrades which includes 6 landing gears and 6 pulse engines. My top speed is at 22.000 u. However, I felt like flying towards space stations or just flying around did not feel that fast so I did a little test. Move 1Pulse engine to the Tech slots There are now 4 engines in the Tech slots and they get disabled. Boosting shows a top speed of 9.000 units. This is less than half my usual speed. Fly towards a planet, it takes 18 Minutes of boosting. Move the engine back to the Cargo hold. My speed is back to 22.000 u It still takes 18 Minutes while boosting.

Maybe the numbers are bugged and I was still going 22.000 u and it just showed 9.000 u? Any way to test it?

No more than one freighter in a system when in a group? [Question]

I recently began NMS with a friend (Xbox Series vs PC)

I tried to summon my Freighter in a system but I got the message "There's already a player's freighter in the system", my friend's freighter!

As the freighter brings almost every ressources I owns, the first thing I do when I land on a planet is to summon my Freighter. Without it I could not even build a simple base.

How would a group of three or four players be able to build on a planet if only one freighter can be summoned?

What kind of NMS logic is that?

No man's sky exploit [Bug]

Hi, so I have been playing no man's sky for the first time ever I'm about 20 hours in and I have found 2 exploits. please bear in mind that this is xbox 1 edition and I have only been playing for a while so if these are intentional I apologise Infinite free ships (must have 2-5 ships I would recommend using one of the broken ones that you find through distress beacons )

So basically you go to one of those planet ship outposts with the ship landing pads on left right and bottom then when a pilot lands with his ship you talk and offer to buy ship if yours is worth more than his and exchange for free and then if your ship is on a landing pad quickly go over and for some reason you can buy your ship back for free and then you have a an extra free ship I used this and now I have 6 b class ships How to get big swarms to not attack you (super easy)

So if you get a distress signal and it is one of those abandoned houses and there is creature eggs if you break one and take one of the cores then you will get attacked but just fly ontop of the building and go and break and get the eggs from the other side and nothing more will spawn and you can get the cores most of the time then if you go back over for some reason most of them won't attack you and you can just chill and take all the eggs (which are worth 69k 😏) but if you get lots they are extremely valuable just from one building I got 1.1 million units

Thanks for reading I hope this helps and enjoy playing this great game 😁

Q: Upload necessary to complete Photo missions? [Question]

Had the same issue on PS4 Pro, now PS5. My share settings are all system-default, but I do have a Twitter account linked in order to share screenshots etc.

My issue is that Photo Missions never complete unless I also upload the photo to Twitter, which is a bit annoying. Accept Photo mission Locate target (planet/structure/whatever) Enter NMS Photo Mode Short-Press "Share" button, select "Screenshot", press "X"

OR

Long-Press "Share" button (takes screenshot) ???

In order for the mission to complete, I have to enter the "Share" menu (short-press "Share" button), select the Photo, and upload it to Twitter. Only after doing that does the mission trigger as completed and prompts me to return to the Mission Agent.

Does anybody else see this? None of the online guides/questions that I've found regarding Photo missions mention needing to upload the Photo as well. There were several mentions of it being a bit buggy to detect the photo having been taken (Long-press vs Short-press), but that's all I could find.

How would you feel about a partial universe reset? [Discussion]

A universe reset to bring the game back closer to its nomadic origins but not impact bases and terrain.

Basically what this would entail is having a certain percentage of planets void of flora, fauna, atmosphere or any combination of such.

Right now any standard biome (snow, toxic, lush etc.) always has life, plants, clouds and an atmosphere. By resetting the algorithm and removing some of these aspects from random planets it would increase the proc gen significantly and not impact bases.

A lot of users talk about the calmness of the old builds - playing 1.0 it struck me that no matter what the planet type a lot could be devoid of life, which creates a sense of peace and also a sense of accomplishment when you do actually discover a planet with life in abundance. Although Hello Games probably won’t go back to that this would be a nice middle point.

Should i do a fresh start? [Question]

Hey all!

I bought NMS as soon as it came out. Even bought it before i had a PS4! Loved it, even if it was nothing like the early footage. I spent a lot of time playing it, cuz it was my only game back then and it was a game like i had never played before. A bit repetitive at times, but great to just play and relax.

Then i started playing some other games and my hype kinda faded. Not that i started to dislike the game, i just started playing other games.

Now i feel the urge to get back to this game, but i don't have all the time i had 5 years ago hahaha

So should i start a new savefile or get back to my previous file and just get used to all the new stuff?

Thanks!

A rant about interior stairs or a question if I'm wrong [Question]

watch first

So for context to the video I need to build 2 interior stairs to make my base look pretty, and I went through an unpleasant experience.

The first 13 seconds of the video I thought well I could just put 2 interior stairs on top of one another that should work, it didn't, it says invalid position no matter what I do

After a little research I was able to do something, 0:13 - 0:41 I need to remove the cuboid block to temporary support the second top interior stairs, then place the cuboid block, but as you can see it leaves an ugly ass square with a circle on it, and I can't even walk through the stairs properly without hitting the square thing!

The rest of the video shows me doing the same to the right stairs, and I thought well atleast I can be able to hopefully cover the hole thing with a floor to cover the hole, no it doesnt.

I've tried using the wooden / concrete stairs, but it wouldn't snap with the cuboid room ofcourse, so it's not an option.

Am I doing it wrong? if not hello games please make the interior stairs to snap better, remove the square circle foundation as it makes it worse in everyway.

Electrical wiring [Question]

Hello everyone! I am trying to wrap my head around wiring in regards to setting up a power grid and I have two questions:

Is there a way to connect a line of batteries together (or solar panels) nicely with one wire? I vaguely recall watching a video where someone mentioned doing this but I could be mistaken. Right now I have wires going from each battery to the next, connected individually (same for the solar panels).

I have a base with 2 separate sources of solar power. One is on the ground and the other is on the roof. I have connected the panels together and linked one panel on the roof to one on the ground (all of which are connected together). This jumped my available power to 400. However, whenever I leave my base and return, the power goes down to 200 until I reconnect the panels with a new wire. Is this normal? I also do not have any of the roof equipment connected to the base itself. Should I do this?

Thank you for any feedback and I apologize if anything I have said is unclear.

I'm a pretty average builder, but up for contributing some ETH if anyone wants to join forces and make a little stadium, prize winner podium, contestant area etc. Would also need 3 non-competitors to judge.

Solar panel and battery power math [Information]

It's a simple guide to solar panel and battery power math in NMS I compiled while building my first base relying on solar panels and batteries.

First of all: if there's an electromagnetic power hotspot nearby, use it and forget about solar panels and batteries.

TL;DR: For every 50 kP of your grid power usage you need 1 battery and 2 solar panels.

NMS uses its own unit of power, P, usually with - I assume - kilo prefix, hence kP. Power output and consumption are measured in kP per second and denoted kPs.

Day / night cycle in NMS is always the same: 15 minutes of daytime and 15 minutes of "dark hours."

Solar panel starts outputting 50% power (25 kPs) 50 seconds before daytime, continues at 50% 30 seconds into a daytime and then switches to 100% (50 kPs). Similarly, 30 seconds before daytime's end it switches back to 50% and continues to output 50% power 50 seconds into the night. This gives 14 minutes (840 seconds) of 100% output and 2:40 minutes (160 seconds) of 50% output. This should give 46 kP but in reality one solar panel outputs 45.898 kP per day.

Single battery can store 45 kP. If you do the math, or if you experiment with it, you will come to the conclusion that one battery and two solar panels are just enough to support 51 kPs grid. And indeed they are, to the second.

You may check your grid's power consumption by interacting with any battery or solar panel on the working or overloaded grid. If your batteries are depleted and it's night, you may use biofuel reactor, even an empty one.

Your mileage may vary. Feel free to correct me, if it does.

Question about item gifted at the Anomaly [Question]

I was afk at the Anomaly and to my surprise when i came back i noticed someone gifted me the SSV Normandy SR1. I know this is a reward for the most recent expedition (which i did not participate unfortunately, very new) but whats strange is it shows as an item in my inventory. Normally you would speak to the quicksilver merchant to add to fleet but in this case it takes a slot in my exosuit. Is there a way to use/claim this item or is this a hacked item with no use? Thank you in advance.

When I enter specific places (including where some of my quests are) my game crashes. Xbox Series X [Bug]

So when I enter some specific places my game just crashes and I can’t do anything about it. Sometimes my game even makes the game crash the moment I open it again and get into my save and the only solution I’ve found is reinstalling the game. Any easier solution to this? I have had internet and it can take a full day to reinstall it so it’s pretty annoying.

Doors are designed poorly/is this a bug? [Bug]

Does anyone know why this hasn't been fixed? It just seems absolutely ridiculous to me that something as simple as a door can't be properly implemented to operate from both sides assuming you come in from a different direction. It just completely removes the purpose of having a switch on the outside of the building. If I land on the platform from another planet it's impossible for me to get inside because the switch will never open the door. I have to go inside (somehow, the exit I show doesn't have a switch on the outside), open it from the inside, walk out, and then close it again. Why is it designed this way? I initially thought it was a bug but apparently it's not. Thoughts?

I don’t think I understand exotic ships. [Question]

I’m not sure I fully understand exotic ships. To my knowledge, every system has one exotic? And they’re found on either the space station or trading post. I understand that the percentage of them actually showing up in the first wave are slim to none. Do three star systems have a better chance to spawn them? Because in my personal experience I’ve usually found them in a two star systems. Am I missing something or are the odds just not in my favor?

Question about DLCs [Question]

I'm not sure if this is the right space to ask this question. However I can't find the answer anywhere so I thought I'd ask you guys.

I recently started playing the game on XBox Game Pass (Wow have I been missing out on how good this game is!) but I've been reading about the free DLC content that's available for this game. My question is, are all the dlc's in built into the main game since they're free or are they not available for XBox Game Pass?

I'm not sure where to find them and it might just turn out to be a silly "click this button you silly human"

[Help/Support] Poor performance in VR(Oculus Quest 2) but GPU and CPU not going above 70% usage [Question]

Hey guys!

I just got my first VR headset and tried it with NMS.

The game runs like shit =/

I got more than 40% reprojection rate, with average FPS of 57

I'm using a Oculus Quest 2 through Airlink.

Supersampling is at 100% (default)

The game is running at the lowest preset, but still runs very poorly...

My Specs: RTX 2060 I7-9750 16 GB Ram Game running from SSD

I'm really don't know much about VR in general, but should it be running THIS bad?

PS5 being pushed too far? [Discussion]

I knew i wasnt going crazy. None of the many games i play on PS5 exhibit this issue. The console is barely 2 months old. This game is NOT hitting a consistent 60 fps on PS5

And its not suprising tbh. Native 4k targeting 60fps? Yea ok

Here is a framerate analasys. (I hope Digital Foundry gets on this because there are not enough framerate tests for the PS5 version)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IAdSgtSg3nU&t=39s

If you dont want to watch let me sum it up for you. Almost a dozen drops into the low 50's (extremely noticable for me)

At some point it even drops into the low 40's !!

This framerate analasys is AFTER the Next gen version of No Mans Sky released.

This framerate analasys is BEFORE the Prisms update which graphically boosted the game even further. All those graphical enhancements come at a cost.

People are still complaining about the unstable performance, including me.

The game runs perfectly in a space station but yea, thats it. Once u get outside its a different story.

Why cant the devs lower the graphics? Or atleast give us an another graphical option that is actually capable of hitting the 60 fps target?

Native 4k? Why? Why not upscaled?

You added additional graphical features with the Prism update while the version before that was barely capable of hitting 60? Why?

Im very sensitive to low framerates and the fact the PS5 doesnt support VRR is even worse.

Hello games, your games dont need to be photo realistic. Have it run properly please.

Like i said earlier, NONE of the other games i play have this issue.

Ratchet and Clank Rift Apart. Perfect

Miles morales: Perfect

Plus a dozen other titles that run perfectly, why cant this game?

I get that procedurally generated planets cause the already asthmatic engine to chug, but come on. This is hardly...

Hi it’s me agine. Question about my new active indium farm. [Question]

So how come my miners arnt...mining? I mean it says they are.

Is the “time left in cycle” mean when they drop X amount of indium at once? Cause I thought it would be a steady flow of indium into my supply depots.

Bonus question: Does the ore vein ever run out? Or is it infinite?

Bonus bonus question: As I’m writhing this, my miners stopped, and it just turned night, is that supposed to happen? They have power.

Weapons Research Destroy Depot mission bug [Question]

I've seen other posts with similar issue, but none of the suggested fixes has worked for me...

I had previously destroyed the depot that is tagged for the mission, and I can't progress.

Found and destroyed some other depots on some different planets/systems, but the mission still didn't progress, the marker kept pointing me back to the original destroyed depot. The counter is at 0/1 destroyed.

I also tried to delete the Weapon Terminal and rebuild it (in the same location and on a different planet), but the mission never went away and the pointer remained at the original depot.

Any suggestions?

Oh my diverse travellers, can we all agree in 2021 the capital ships and frigates need an update now? [Discussion]

Though the community is so wide and ranging in play styles thanks to this brilliant games' design, I shout from my tiny hilltop in the corner; The frigates with their empty interiors and invisible walls in front of sealed doors, the capital ships visual presentation starting to look outdated compared to the rest of the game, also lacking a sense of crew, and retaining technical bugs and issues, all reaching back to when it was introduced around 2017, going on 4 years ago.

In my humble opinion, it's time, Hello games.

Resetting "Starbirth" on Xbox not an option? [Question]

Already completed "Starbirth" the first time, and now I'm trying to pick up LS's from coordinates shared on the NMSCE sub. The guides on how to do it all say to hatch the egg in a system away from the one you want to be in, then go to the coordinates on the planet on the ship that you want and restart the mission to get it to switch to that specific ship. I'm on Xbox, and I've tried doing this twice now, but there's no option to restart the mission once I hatch the egg. Am I just SoL since I'm on console?

A survival very hard mode ? [Suggestion]

Hi travellers !

I play the game sometime in survival with hard rules :

  • HUD Disabled. (no icons to spot all the thing everywhere, it's very fun to try finding all species without red points ...)

  • Terrain manipulator forbiden. (need to find a way for going out caves, it's really scary to explore deep caves with this rule)

  • Calling ship forbiden from menu. (I can loose the way to come back to the ship when exploring and need to find a settlement to calling back my ship (no, I don't use the coordinate too ! I want playing with the risk to loose my way ;-))

  • No tech modules extension except those we can craft.

  • Only one ship allowed, no freighter and skip all the base building gameplay, just trying reach the center of the galaxie and survive. Collecting valuable ressource on planet to make money.

Usualy I start a permadeath save, playing the game with regular rules until I unlock the warp drive, and after, I start playing with these hard rules.

This is really challenging, immersive and a very funny way to play. Is there anybody playing with this kind of rules here ?

Playing with disabled HUD is not very well supported by the game, there is some anoying bugs due, I think, to message queued...

Do you think HG can update the game with a way to fine configure the game rules for that purpose ? I think that can be a really good idea.

Trophies Bugged (PS5) [Bug]

I've searched around and can see a fair few people have experienced the same, certain gold trophies won't pop (Meet 80 aliens etc, silver one for units accrued)

Is there a known fix to get them to pop? The most recent solutions I've saw are just to start a new save file and will be super annoying.

Not gonna lie I was filled with so much praise for how they have improved the game when I jumped back in but this just gives me a bit of a sour taste and puts me off continuing, I know that sounds stupid but hey.. I like collecting trophies 🏆

If someone even knew if they are aware and working on it I'd be happy enough, I just don't want to start again and then the same thing happens.

Derelict Freighter Coordinates [Question]

Glitchy Space Moments [Bug]

So I might be the only one who does this, but I like to Hyperdrive as far away from the star systems planets as possible. Why? Well the game gets super broken.

If you travel say, 14,000Ks or more from the active star system you are in, flashing back into normal space creates a variety of anomalies. Trade ships will glitch around, jumping and dancing all over the screen.

If you go far enough out the camera will bug out, sometimes having to catch up to you in mid flight.

My favorite (sarcasm) part of this is finding an abandoned freighter out in the “deep space” (50,000Ks or more) and not being able to get inside because invisible walls spawn everywhere.

Lastly my freighter becomes a mess to get into, sometimes getting my small ship stuck or making me fall through the floor.

Finally yeah I only play creative lol. Anyone else encounter this?

Instant Dying bug? [Bug]

I have been trying to get some storm crystals, using the Minotaur, and I am getting one shot by lightning even in the Exo.

Same thing, as soon as they glowed, I died even in my shelter. I have over 600 hours played (this is a new save I am working on) and never been so much as scratched in a minotaur before.

Are there any spots on the anomaly that players frequent for inner-traveler trade? We dont have trade initiatives between travelers yet, but we can gift things. I dont want to air drop something to someone without their consent, but if they were consenting how would I know? Stand in a certain area and use gestures?

Hazard Protection Upgrades? [Question]

Could someone please explain to me what the point of the Hazard Protection Upgrades (Coolant Network, Toxin Suppressor, etc.) are?

I remember reading that there was no point in running with more than one Hazard Protection Upgrade, as only one would be drained before the main Hazard Protection would be drained.

If that is indeed the case, why would I ever use these upgrades when I can simply apply a C to X-class upgrade and not have to craft anything. Or can the crafted Hazard Protection upgrades be combined with the ProcGen ones?

An add on to abandoned space stations, ideas for when you have nothing left to earn in-game. [Discussion]

I was inspired by another text post regarding the idea of abandoned space stations, and i got a similar idea, just a bit tweaked. (link to the og text post is at the bottom of this)

When you're among the richest beings in all of space, what else is there to do besides what lies in your imagination?

I really like the idea of having a space fleet that doesnt just consist of npcs. This could be a mod kinda idea or even rp ig, but i love the thought of using a highly rare item that only the most experienced players could get, something like an ancient scroll or something, and being able to hire actual players to do certain quests. The missions would be limited by options, because obviously there will be those players that ask for the impossible. And it could even start with regular freighters, itd be cool if you could act as commander of a freighter whilst you allow lower players to bunk in your freighter, and you could send them on missions and stuff. (obviously they wouldnt be able to mess with the construction or storage, but you could offer them their own room and personal storage container, where the bed acts as a save) Could you imagine being able to actually go on one of the combat missions for a frigate?!

This could also open options up for actual mercenaries or pirates. Even if it were an npc, itd be awesome to be able to hunt down wanted thieves or criminals for a ransom, and being able to actually hunt them and drag them back for your reward. You could even maybe hire them to hunt down other freighters. Imagine: freighter wars, a small army of players fighting each other in massive freighters and their own ships.

An abandoned space station could have multiple uses, not just for trading. Think of in-game guilds, where the space stations acts as a hub and housing for the players in the guild. A troop of...

I found the exotic I want, there's just this one problem... [Discussion]

I found an exotic spaceship that I've been idly looking for, only it didn't land at the trading post. Instead, it went flying nap-of-the-earth.

What should I do the next time this happens? I believe my options are: Just let it go. It'll come around again someday. Wait patiently at the trading post for it to spawn again. Wait impatiently at the trading post by reloading the autosave until it spawns properly. Follow it and hope it lands somewhere. Shoot it down, land at the crash site and climb over the pilot's lifeless body to claim the wreckage because you should have landed you jerk.

Opinion on exocrafts. I think they should offer some degree of armored protection. [Suggestion]

Begin rant. Sooo exocrafts. Why is it that they don’t provide any armor? Like they seem to take just as much damage as your normal exosuit from the same things (sentinels, hazardous flora, etc.) I really think the exocrafts should offer some degree of armor depending on which exocraft it is. Especially the minotaur. The minotaur is pretty much just a battle mech anyway so I think it should be able to function like one. For one I think the minotaur cannon should be more powerful. For two I think the minotaur should have powerful enough armor to where it can go head to head with a walker and it be a fair fight. For three I think they should add melee attacks for the minotaur. I think it would be cool to be able to deliver extremely destructive melee attacks using the minotaur. Anyway that’s about it. End rant.
