I Wish Your Reputation Meant Something... [Suggestion]
Currently bad reputation stops you from progressing the story path and guild missions. I wish system authorities would attack you when entering a system if your reputation is bad with that specific alien race. You wouldn’t be able to buy or sell in those systems until you’ve repaired your reputation. If you are hated by all, then you’ve got to go to the systems with no prior civilization (no space station).
This would add more depth to already existing aspects of the game.
Another thought I had was adding an actual wave progression that gets more difficult. Sentinels cap at a certain point, but imagine if a boss size sentinel spawns on the finally wave. Same with the horror swarms, if enough are killed then a queen will spawn.
With pirates, it’d be cool if you’d build a reputation with them, the more you kill in bounties the more they’ll want to come after you. Until you defeat the captain or something. Getting attacked on foot would be great as well, multi tool combat with npc pirates would be an awesome experience. Maybe eliminating them from systems, won’t spawn back for a week or something.
I think this would give more purpose to have weapons. And enhance the PVE aspect of the game.
do you need two void eggs for two living ships? [Question]
I still have the cracking void egg that it hatched from.
Pilgrim in Space Anomaly? [Question]
I just saw someone riding their pilgrim exocraft in the anomaly. How is that possible? Is there a way to unlock it or something?
New! Teleport receiver issues [Question]
Okay, so I've posted about this before, how to fix it, but the fix is no longer working. My teleport receiver is not working at all for my ship. It's in my ship, but I cannot send things to my ship inventory or receive them and I'm not even 300u away. Logging out, closing the game, restarting my PS5, none of it's working to get it back. Any suggestions? Does it actually have to be in the technology tab for it to work?

FOUND THIS BIG FELLA [Screenshot]
I feel like I dun effed up... [Question]
First time playing, been slowly going through the main quests while exploring and having fun.
While doing the Expand your base questline...I decided to move my base, deleting everything. Now I need to go see my Overseer at his terminal. He's now nowhere to be seen... and when I go back on a space station to recruit him, the option to recruit him is greyed out.
Is there a way to restart a quest without restarting the game maybe?
Help!!! [Question]
Hello! I need help placing a landing pad at my first base. Im trying to build it on the flat wooden roof of my base but it won’t place there. It only seems to be able to be placed on the ground? Help would be appreciated. Than you!!
Any word on a new expedition? [Question]
Unfortunately I missed the first expedition, but now that I’m back after a year or so break from this game I can’t wait to try one! Is there any news on when the next one will be?
Desert Temple [Screenshot]
Ya know what’d be cool? Space Battles with actual stakes. [Suggestion]
I love this game to death but after a certain point you’re just. There. There’s no hard battles or enemies that actually threaten your life they all just fly around and die. So it’d be cool if we actually had a reason for a fleet like if we could get into battles with other (AI) capital ships where we could destroy them and possibly have them become derelict.
Help with Living Ship / Void Egg quest [Question]
I’ve reached the portal step in the void egg mission. Can I use a already existing portal that I have? I can’t decipher the symbols (hunter, moon over water etc…)
Will I be able to get old expedition rewards at some point? [Question]
So basically I returned to NMS after some months hiatus and now see I cannot get the expedition rewards because I missed them.
Do you think there will be a possibility for me to get the old rewards at some point, either through gameplay or through some new expetitions, what do you think?
Pretty sure I found proto-care bears. Note the not yet harnessed, but still nearby, rainbow drawn to the encampment. [Screenshot]
Has anybody else been solicited on the anomaly? [Discussion]
Today someone came up to me gave me 5 void eggs and 2 golden vectors and asked I I could join his church in Frisson I believe. Has anyone else had people bribe you to join their cause?
dead ended twice [Bug]
PC Normal
I've played this game since it came out. Over 4,000 hours over dozens of games. I've made billions and had fleets of ships. Now I'm ready to quit.
2 games in a row at the same part of the Artemis quest where you go to the crashed freighter and have to get the log encryption keys to proceed the freighter has already been looted and there's no encryption keys available. After the first time I made a point only to investigate freighters that were assigned by quest. This one was early in the game.
I'll file a bug report and get the boilerplate response but I am so disappointed. Anyone else encounter this?
Do different materials affect resequencing? [Question]
All that it says is if the size increases, decreases or stays the same. Can this be of specific amounts based off of the material? e.g. carbon could increase it by .25 meters, but maybe uranium could do 1 meter?

Discovery Services Not Staying Logged In For Anyone Else? [Bug]
Who else is having issues with discovery services on XBox Live? I can force a sign-in, and the services will come back online for ~30 seconds, then it goes back offline. I'm not the only person in my house who is having this issue, so I assume that others are experiencing Discovery service issues. Oddly enough, multiplayer (which I don't even use) is working fine, I tested it on the anomaly.
Cannot find DLSS option. Help :/ [Question]
Pretty much what you just read. I bought this game on steam some years ago and just recently bought a 4k monitor. Wanted to test this game out in 4k with dlss on, but I don't seem to find it. I even looked for some clues on the game files that might help me enable it, but I found nothing.
Also, I have a rtx card, I've downloaded the latest video drivers from Nvidia and made sure that the game is updated to the Prisms Update. Still, nothing appears.
According to other posts I've seen, it should be on the antialiasing option, but it's not. Trust me, I've spent 5 straight minutes clicking the damn thing, switching between FXAA, TAA, FXAA+TAA and Disabled just to see if it would magically appear.
I've seen a few tutorials on where to find it on the graphics menu, but it just doesn't appear in my game.
May any kind soul help me out? :(

I think the space anomaly interior is the perfect city template [Discussion]
looking out onto the rest of the anomaly where ships enter and leave honestly feels just like how id imagine it would in a big city setting if the path they were taking was made to look like a road or type of lane. obv the design overall would probably be different considering its planet-side vs in space, but the general idea seems really solid already if we were to use the space anomaly as a template.
oh but it also works for extreme conditions planets that would otherwise be inhospitable because inhabitants would naturally come and go through essentially a giant version of a holo-door!
I never met a shuttle I liked the look of. [Discussion]
it can't just be me right?
shuttles just don't look as aesthetically pleasing to me as the fighters and the haulers...
even explorers have their own charm...
but shuttles all look bland and often gray...
Change my mind, let's see some bad ass shuttle image links...
Two quick questions from a returning player [Question]
Do multi tool expansions work on fully decked out S class MTs?
How else besides buried caches, factories, and freighters can i get them? Is there a way to farm them without duping?
How do I get my ship back after I change galaxies? [Question]
So after the atlas reset, I was put on a new galaxy and my ships components were destroyed, so I couldn’t summon it. I summoned a different ship and my freighter to see if maybe it was on there, it wasn’t. What do I do? I had a lot of valuable stuff on that ship
Frigate on the Red and can’t return [Bug]
My frigate is stuck on a mission, it won’t give me the option to call it back like normal if it’s damaged during a mission. Is there a way for me to track it down and fix it. On on the latest version of no man‘s sky on Xbox. Its nothing major but more of a annoyance that one out of 7 ships are decommissione.
Dumb [Discussion]
So I just wanted to share this stupid moment when I built a huge extremely aligned matrix of electromagnetic generators just to see at the end that the spot I was at was the mineral spot, not the energy one. Lame.
The Atlas Calls [Screenshot]
More mineral extractors = less minerals extracted per unit? [Question]
So I made this 5x5 mineral farm where the central extractor extracts 197/h and the network does 4085/h. But if I add a 2nd floor, the central one lowers to 122/h while the network only goes up to 5030/h.
I mean, ok, it still extracts more but it seems like the more you add, the less it extracts, almost like a cap. Has any of you noticed it too?
Wishlist: switches triggered by storms and daylight [Suggestion]
Wouldn’t it be cool to turn on hazard lights during a storm, or porch string lights at dusk? 😋
Question about void eggs… [Question]
I know I know I’ve asked a lot of questions about living ships but this should be the last one. Is the void egg supposed to delete itself when you’re done with the missions? Because I still have a cracking void egg after getting my living ship.

Galaxy Waypoint Problem [Question]
I remeber I started playing around the first expedition and rendevous/mission waypoint would lead to the end. Now they just go about 800LY and stop and I can go ~2000LY which really increases my travel time if ihave to follow a waypoint
Did I mess something up or this a bug
HELP. [Question]
Hi, I was trying some things and I built this communication station, those that leave messages that are seen every time you get close and now it tells me that it cannot be destroyed, being on my own base, I don't see that it makes sense, is there any way to fix this?
Just in case I warn you that I don't know how to write well in English, so I helped myself with the google translator, let me know if something is not understood.

NMS problems and my solutions. [Discussion]
I am a content creator of NMS, from Italy, and I want to talk about some ideas to increase the playability of nms.
PROBLEMS
The problem with NMS is that many people play when there are updates but after a short time they stop playing because the update introduces things that once seen are repetitive, you have to find ways to always allow players to continue playing.
One of the fundamental problems: it is very easy to get unlimited units, this way you can afford to do anything with minimal effort, this means that after a while people get tired of playing, and this is the biggest problem of nms, when introduce a new feature people play nms but after a short time they abandon it.
IDEAS
Mining deposits
Mineral deposits should have a limited amount of resources, they should run out over time, even 2-3 weeks but not unlimited. This encourages the creation of different farms and would limit infinite resources, this translates into more actions for the player to do.
Scientists
Scientists should have a more active role within nms and it should make sense to change them. Scientists may have bonuses or malus and can affect, for example, the sale or purchase of resources or the upgrading or not of weapons. Changing scientist obviously changes these bonuses and penalties. This also stimulates recruitment.
Scientists should also earn a wage in game units, even high, this means that players always have to farm to get units.
Electricity
Components that need electricity should randomly break, the player either manually fixes or recruit an electrical scientist to efficiently fix these components.
Factions
Ability to create factions, the community has always joined in factions or groups, expanding this aspect would be a huge step forward. The discoveries of a player belonging to a faction should be recognized by the entire faction.
Space Station...
Want to get the game again, but I got some questions first. [Question]
I already played no mans sky on xbox over a year ago, but I switched to PC, so I have to buy it again.
However, I have some questions:
Is it really hard to make progress or did I play it wrong or just unlucky? I played a lot but I still had almost no base building parts. This was very depressing. Also the ways to get freighters are kinda unbalanced imo. My friend got one for free because of a random mission, while I had to pay a lot of money for it.
Is multiplayer with randoms fun/is there a way to connect with the community if I have no friends? I've heard, they added a multiplayer mode with some missions/achievements. But can I really play with other players as the random. For me, it seems like everyone will play it with friends/ a group.
That's it. Wrote it negative but I really like this game. I would just like to get an answer and an opinion if its still worth it in 2021 for more than 50€.
Hello! Could someone with an RTX 3060 let me know how the game performs in VR? [Question]
I currently have an i5-7500, 16 Gigs of DDR4 RAM @2100Mhz, and a GTX 1070.
I'm looking to get into VR, especially for No Man's Sky (which I've never played and wish to play completely in VR), and will have just enough money to upgrade to a 3060 and get myself a Quest 2.
I've heard this game isn't the best when it comes to being optimized for VR, and I've also found out that there is a shockingly low amount of people on the internet who have a 3060 and play this game in VR.
So, if you have a 3060, and play this game in VR, could you please let me know how it runs? At what settings? Does the recent DLSS patch help things? What if I were to save up a bit more and get a 3060 Ti?
Thank you!

Crashed ship issue (had multiplayer off before portal) [Question]
Anyone ever portal warped to a crashed ship, had multiplayer off before you warped, found the ship and also still tons of comm balls and a base, couldn’t interact with the ship, reported a bunch of stuff and the base to make it easier to not be interacting with the junk all around and even dug up a hole under the ship and still couldn’t interact? That happened to me, what gives?
Thanks, you made my week! [Community]
Just wanted to say thank you to whoever gave me a void egg and all the launch thruster fuel while I was AFK in the anomaly. I just started the game and was thinking how badly I wanted a living ship and I come back to check my inventory to find exactly what I needed. Just got the fragile neural stem and can't wait to acquire all the other pieces.
Thanks again <3
As you head further into the galaxy(s), you unlock technologies that eventually lead to and add up to the power to create worlds 🌎.
An insane amount of different resources is required to do so (ownership of an incredibly large freighter to contain them all would be one specification). I would argue that considering the incredibly large size of the galaxy, world spam wouldn't even be an issue, if it became a thing. If anything it would just add to galaxy diversity and player engagement 💍.
Includes new technology of an incredibly large terrain manipulator (freighter gun) to create grand canyons and mountains ⛰. (Only possible on your own created worlds during their creation).
What other techs could be cool for this idea?

I can't delete a base. [Bug]
So day before yesterday I went to my first base I made and it was completely gone and the base computer shows up as being 20 yards below the very bottom of the world. I can't drill below that point. I've tried everything. I deleted my mods and it's still not showing the base. When u originally made the base u out the computer on top of the surface and then dug out a space of about 10 foot by foot for the opening entrance. The rest of the base was all built outside of the side of the mountain. Everytime I teleport there it first spawns me below the ground and I fall thru the world for about 5 seconds and then it resets my position to being underground. I used my terrain manipulator to literally tear down the whole mountain side and still can't find it anywhere. It also puts my ship under the world as well. I need help because I can't complete this quest for it. I just want to delete the base and be done with it. Do devs read this subreddit? I hope they do and can help me with this issue.

Main quest won’t progress. Help? [Question]
I’m still stuck on the “First Traveler” quest line. I found a portal, charged all the glyphs, can see the glyph code for the planet/portal, but the mission won’t recognize that I did it.
Any thoughts?!
Do I need to be able to enter in the glyph code? Because I’ve only discovered one glyph myself. Is that an issue?
Are my discoveries uploading at all? [Information]
By default my game says I'm disconnected from the online discovery services (I'm still doing the tutorial, dunno if that's relevant).
I can go back online if I log out and log in again from my Xbox profile. But the connection lasts for a few minutes only.
My question is: if I click on the button "upload all pending discoveries" while I'm disconnected from the online discovery services, will the data upload once I'm back online?
Or it's better to click on "upload all pending discoveries" only while I'm back connected to the online discovery services?
Thanks in advance. I'm not sure what I've uploaded or not yet :(
Tip: are you on last gen console or low tier PC? Keep falling through your wood floors? Replace them with concrete. [Information]
Wooden base parts take longer to load then concrete or metal. The more wood base parts the harder it is for your system to keep up. If your entire base including your floors are made of wood there is a good chance you are just going to slip right through them as you are walking around.
This also applies for parts of your base that are hidden that no one will ever see. Such as supports or closed areas for electrical needs. There's no reason to make these areas wood. Use concrete.
Doing this will not only help your base load faster personally but help people with weaker systems when they visit your base.
Help! My Pulse Engine Will Not Engage [Question]
Hello all,
I recently went back to NMS - game is up to date - my living ship is fully functional, all modules are in working order and everything that requires fuel is full. When I attempt to engage the Pulse Drive (L1 / L2) the countdown begins (like usual, 3, 2, 1) but when it gets to one , the engine sounds like its engaging, then immediately stops and I go nowhere. At first I thought it was the living ship, so I switched to my old standby....but the same thing happens...no pulse engine. Has anyone else run into this issue and if so, how did you fix it? I sent Hello Games a "bug report" via their website but they do no usually send back responses. I'd really like to play this game again, but w/out the Pulse Drive navigating within a system would take too damn long to get anywhere.
Thanks for reading.

Things you just now learned about [Discussion]
Been playing this game for a long time, and I just noticed this week that you can use your scanner to identified a starship. You get its class, slots, vitals, and purchase price in units:
Thought it would be interesting to start a thread for all those things that you learned about in the game long after it had become a feature.
I made a travel blog to document ship spawns [Information]
If anyone's interested, the former Pokemon shiny hunter in me activated and I am now tracking ship spawns on a star system basis. There's a handful of entries now, with more in the pipe once the alt text is done.
As of a few days ago, I'm including living ships. However, this doesn't catch all living ships in a system—I have no idea how many living ships spawn per system—just the first 21.
If anyone has feedback, positive or negative, please let me know. I am mostly doing this because I am a compulsive collector and six ship slots will never be enough, but I want to help the community too.
I'm planning to extend to freighters and frigates eventually.

Storm Switch Idea (and question): [Suggestion]
Solar panels work with half performance during storms in daylight.
Suppose you have lights that require 50Watts. Single solar panel will make it work during full daylight by generating 50watts. But it will not be enough during a storm in daylight, because you will only have 25watts from the panel. So this will help making a daytime-storm sensor.
I don't have an answer for nighttime storms. Do you have?

Quality of Life Upgrade (Wishlist) [Suggestions :okglove:]
There are a few things that would make this game better, imo, that wouldn't be game breaking or even hard but would improve the quality of the experience. Let me know what you all think of the list. (If the devs see this for whatever reason, please consider):
Sort & organize bases: As someone that lays bases on every planet that I find and catalogue, having them at random in my portal is at best annoying and at worst down right frustrating. Having the ability to group them would be nice. Wanna make a group for the trade route you've been doing? Clump together the systems you haven't fully explored for the Exploration Guide? Done with a system and just want it out of the way? Having the power to put those systems into what would essentially be a tag folder would make things great, especially if you can order them through drag and drop.
Fleet/Clan/Guild creation: I get that the story is about the personal experience of the traveler you're playing and all that. But as a game that has grouping, being able to have friends not only group but be able to use bases and have shared resource storage, even when you are not on, would be great. I've introduced my friends to the trade route idea. But when I'm not on, they can't use the portal to jump around for system to system. Not to mention, being able to share all the exportation data with them would have time and all groups to comb a planet and get it done.
Frigate/Capital ship teleportation: It seems silly to me that you can't use the portal to go to your big ship. I can use a portal on it to go to other places but can't get back to it the same way? Just a nit-pick.
Multiple frigate/capital ships in system: Another weird one but, unless I'm mistaken, you can't have everyone in your group have their big ships be in the same system at the same time. Why? Especially if there was a fleet creation system,...

Is NMS a good 2-player co-op game? [Question]
Hello everyone!
I've never played NMS before, but I'm curious to try it out with my long-distance partner, who has also never touched the game.
The question is this: If we were to approach this game as a purely two-player co-op experience for two total newbies, do you think that it would be worthwhile? On the surface, it seems like the ideal candidate - pretty slow and chill, leaving enough room to just talk about other things on the side, while also providing a fantastically gorgeous world to explore together. It's also crossplay, which is necessary as we're on different platforms.
But I'm also kinda worried it may be too big of a grind for only playing once or twice a week, or that I may be misunderstanding the kind of game it is. What do you guys think about this?
Thanks for taking the time to read this! :)

Once I load into a multiplayer lobby, it will either freeze when I'm going through the stars or as soon as I press "e" to initialize. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Moving Freighter Long Distances [Question]
I'm trying to join up with a buddy. I've portaled to his base, but I can't summon the freighter because i think warpfuel is insufficient. Is there a way to get the freighter to the base without having to travel by hyper jumps from one quadrant of the galaxy to another?
I’m new and… [Question]
I encountered a new (to me) ship on a nearby planet (same system as my starting planet). I added the new ship and went on my merry way. I didn’t know how hard it would be to find the original ship and unfortunately it needs launch fuel so I can’t call it to me from my base. The game still remembers my 1st ship (because it offers to call it but remember I left it without launch fuel). But…there’s no visible marker when I go back to that planet. How can I find it? It seems like you should be able to deploy a marker to go to it but I can’t see a way to do that. Thanks in advance!

Network problem. help appreciated! [Question]
I am on PS4pro and subscribed to PS+. i checked the network connection and it’s fine. the console downloads software and game updates and notifications drop in while playing. In NMS options/network everything is enabled (multiplayer, cross-platform etc.). however, the game keeps telling me that i lost network connection and i can’t see other players at the anomaly… what in atlas’ name is this?

Freighter color woes [Bug]
I posted a few days ago thinking I had accidentally changed my yellow freighter color when I had to exit the color menu suddenly. Turns out, I probably didn't.
Since I was set on having all yellow everything and really didn't like the 2 options that you can unlock, i Waited the appropriate amount of time/warps and triggered the battle in the same system I had got my yellow freighter in the first time. I showed up and the capitol ship in the battle was white(which is what my current one had been changed to). If I hadn't taken screenshots I would have assumed that the lighting made it look yellow the first time, but this was definitely completely different. Got the cords for nearly the same one, triggered the battle and farmed for S class. Finally get one at 3am so I put my ps5 into rest mode and go to bed. When I come back the next day everything but the bridge/docking bay is white again. At no point did I even touch the color menu because I didn't want the same thing to happen again. I've tried restarting, warping, portals... Still white with yellow bridge. I've also noticed that it'll sometimes do that holo/out of range thing when it's in the same system (I can literally be sitting in the docking bay).
All the threads I've found with color changing freighters are super old - has this happened to anyone recently? It was never a problem when I was playing on PS4, perhaps the ps5 version is the issue? I'm going to try and get a venator to see if it makes a difference.

Can I play multi player save on single player game? [Question]
Yesterday, I was playing with my friend on his lobby for a couple of hours. I lost connection somehow and I logged into singleplayer with that character, but when I came back to my friend lobby, I couldn't pick that save and had to start over?

Have you ever randomly come across a system already discovered by someone else? [Question]
Hey guys, I am a relatively new player (~40-50 hours) and knowing just how big is the game, I am wondering have you ever randomly found a system/planet already discovered and claimed by someone else?
Not talking about missions, coordinates, or the other ways the game intentionally connects you to other players.

Someone built through my base because it didn't render in their game [Bug]
so someone built straight through my base and it looks gross. i think it's part of their base, (which isn't far away) not my base, because i can't remove or add onto anything he added. and then i guess they were pc, because they sent me a message "sorry your base didn't render in my game". then instead of cleaning up some of the random stuff he had just placed he just leaves and i can't remove it lmao. any ideas?

What would you suggest to a total NMS novice? [Discussion]
Hey, long time lurker, first time poster. I’ve logged about 75 hours on NMS on the Xbox. I got the game when it was released, realised it wasn’t done yet, waited for a few years, and then finally this year I picked it back up again. Since then I’ve played 75 hours, got a freighter, a bunch of frigates, and I’m working on my base.
I honestly thought I was doing well at the game until I started looking on here more and saw that there’s SO MUCH MORE to the game than I ever imagined!! I’ve clearly just spent 75 hours just mucking about and I’d love it you guys could give me some advice on what I should be aiming at? I don’t intend on putting this game down again for a long time. I’m really enjoying it! So I wanna know what else I could actually be doing?
Thanks in advance for all your help 😊
Maybe some more satisfactional/action changes [Suggestion]
-When I play no man's sky and warp my fraighter to me, my eye just don't sees enough BIG, maybe a change that you can have more big fraighters, like maybe 3 big main fraighters so you get a feeling that you have a whole badass fleet with you.
-When I just fly trough space I just see stars, planets and sometimes fraighters or an Anomanaly, sometimes even a black hole, in my opinion there is not that much action in space, the black hole is really a cool thing but maybe more things like that could be great
°Supernovas °More live in space means more NPC's flying trough space °In each galaxy maybe a Galactical Trade route, like a stream full of Spaceships flying in one direction or the opposite like a Highway in space with stations where they randomly generated stop or fly trough the station to another station, this could be a new way to find and buy/sell spaceships or recourses

Mouse Smoothing? [Question]
Having trouble with me mouse. On land it's ok.. a bit sluggish but workable. But in space, it's like moving though mud. I realize that a new ship has terrible handling.. but it can't be this bad. It's like the mouse is slow - I move it to the right and the ship takes seconds to catch up.
So what is Mouse Smoothing? Is it Mouse Speed? I've been playing around with it. but doesn't seem to make much difference unless I move it all the way to the right or left.
Thanks for any help.

Game crash [Question]
So recently I've been really trying to get back into no mans sky and I've had the game on disc for ps4 and have loved to play it since i first bought it around 4 yrs ago but last year I wasnt on as much until around september when I hopped back into the game but it would consistently have the error CE-34878-0 and I would have to get back on this problem is heavily consistent as the game will only give me about 10-20 mins of play time before crashing like this and at the worst 5 mins and this problem was so severe it was like the game was barely playable I just eventually gave up and left it alone but recently i had the itch to play the game so i put the game in and tried to play ofc same problem so i looked up solution and came across one that said to rebuild my database, and it worked really well for the first 2 days i played the game non stop without crashes/errors but the 3rd day it started to crash again, and even so my playtime was around a good 30mins sometimes if im lucky an hour, but now it's gone back to being just terrible and I don't know what to do to fix it. Can anyone help?

Life Support Gel x 25 (Fills your Life Support system to 100%) Ion Battery x 25 (Fills your Hazard Protection system to 100%) Starship Launch Fuel x 15 (Fills your Launch Thruster System to 100%) Warp Cell x 10 (Each cell fills your Warp Drive by 20%, 10 gives you a full Drive twice!) Potentially Other Goodies?
I can see it now, you're asking "Phox, buddy, what's it gonna cost me?" Nothing! We're fostering a community, this is me doing my part. There are a few hoops to jump through first, unfortunately. See below! You must be on a Normal save type. (I am working on a Survival Save, stay tuned.) You'll need access to Discord, as I coordinate drop-offs through that platform. You'll need network access on whatever system you play on so I can hop into your session.
That's it! If you meet those requirements, I'm down to serve you! Lets break down the steps of the drop-off in our simple 3-Step Process. Shoot me a Reddit message with your Discord Handle (PhlippantPhox#0941 is mine, they're case sensitive, and don't forget the # code!), as well as your No Man's Sky friend code (Options>Network>NMS Friends List>Show NMS Friend Code) As I get time, I'll shoot you a Discord friend request and a message with my No Man's Sky friend code.

I'll see you in space, Interloper!

Anyone know of a fix? Reloading didn't help, 'Landing Sequence Unavaible' anywhere near my base still.

A small gesture for the 5 year anniversary [Discussion]
NMS is inching towards 70% (Positive) rating on steam. If you like the game and haven't left a positive review yet, it'd be great to get to that 70% before the five year anniversary. With all the work HG has put it over the last few years, and the type of redemption story this has been, I think it would be really nice symbolically. :)

Just wondering, exotic ships [Question]
Is it true the best way to find an exotic ship (the squid looking ship or the ball ship/ S-class ships) is to find a ground trading station, land at it, and if you don’t see a exotic ship spawn in the first wave of ships landing, you reload, and keep reloading?
Or is their another possibly better way of finding one. And yes I know either way i’d find one by pure luck due to them only having a 1% chance to spawn.
Freighter spawn method is changed? [Question]
Hi travelers, I'm here to ask you something I can't figure out. I've been away from the game for some time, I think the last update for me was the mecha exoskeleton ones. Few days ago I'm jumped on my ship again because a friend of mine bought the game and want chat out during the exploration. So, in the meantime, I've decided it's time for me to change my freighter and find something big.
I remember that before leaving, for searching a freighter you could warp 4 times, save, then on the 5th warp you should find the pirate attack and the possibility to buy the freighter after the fight. I've done it, and nothing happened, not even after 7-8 warps. I've saw somewhere that there are a minimum time of 3h between those events, but I'm pretty sure I've played more than 3h in the past week and still nothing.
To be precise, I'm not finding any pirate attack, but every warp there are 1 or 2 freighter that I can buy, but they are all small and not the shape of the usual capitals big ones I always see, but more the little cargo.
Am I doing something wrong? Is changed something I'm not aware of? How can "farm" the spawn of a freighter on this days?
Thanks for everything, Keep exploring!
3 things I want in NMS [Suggestion]
Zoo-type buildings
How this would work is that you could find the eggs of creatures lying around on a planett, or befriend a creature, then put the eggs or creature in a large enclosure. The creature can't die when in an enclosure and can be fed certain foods made for creatures. The eggs put in an enclosure would after a while, too. Flora in a Bio-Dome
Seeds can be collected from some flora by interacting with the flora (Or mining it), which then can be planted and raised in a Bio-dome, and harvested for resources. Custom musical inserts
This has to do with the files, to where you can access the music files, which has the songs that are mixed procedurally in-game. You can add custom music to the folder, which will cause the song you put in be mixed into the soundtrack.

They should explicitly tell you, you can only have one freighter. [Suggestion]
I recently lost my first freighter which had all of my inventory in it and now I feel like an absolute idiot. I had to take a break from the game because of it.
I accept I’m the dumb one for blindly taking the ship but I still feel like I wasn’t informed enough about how the freighters worked. I feel like they should’ve explicitly told me that we could only have on freighter so that we could make a more educated decision. They really left it vague for newcomers.

The ROE strives to build a prosperous community among the many paradise planets of Eissentam.

Everywhere starts off small so we’d appreciate it if you’d join.

Freighters and Frigates Colour Question [Question]
When purchasing a frigate, will the frigate retain its colour, or will it change based on the freighter's colours?
If so, are the colours of the frigate based on the current or base colours of the freighter (if painted)?
If the frigate retains its own colours however, would the best Idea in purchasing the frigates be to mark the system where I found the freighter in order to make sure the freighter and frigates all have the same colour scheme?
I have seen posts that claim that frigates now colour-match with your freighter, and others that claim the opposite. As such, I am quite confused and would like some clarity on this.
Why on my ship panel is there the name of one of my old PS4 friends I used to play with? [Question]

The items I am referring to a a inventory item labeled as a collectible their appearance appears to be the Normandy or golden vector, these items can insinuate that your able to get the actual item in game however this is not true.
These items are most likely being given by PC players using a Save Editor, the players that give you this item either have no idea they do nothing or are trolling players.
If you have received this item your best bet is to delete it or sell it, unless you want it for prosperity, either way for your peace of mind these items do nothing for you.

How to Transfer your Gamepass save to Steam. [Modding]
Since I'll be away from my PC I was trying to figure out how to transfer my Steam save to the Gamepass version so I can play on my Xbox. No luck, but it can be done the other way around.
Be aware I haven't played extensively, just loaded it up. Don't know if any problems come out of it.
How to:
•Download goatfungus NMS Editor from Github
•Download nom nom NMS Editor from Github
•Open nom nom NMS Editor and next to "path" click the Steam button that says "Reset to Steam Save Path"
•(Create a copy to be save over by the gamepass version) Do this by selecting a save slot in the "source" menu, then select another save slot in the "destination" menu and copy it over with the copy button.
•Click the button at the top that says "reset to Microsoft save path", click on your saved game, click file, and save as JSON. It will save to whatever the nom nom NMS Editor has as the output folder.
•Open the goatfungus save editor and select the slot with the copy of that Steam save.
•Click edit, import JSON and import that Microsoft JSON file. (If you don't see anything, open your nom nom NMS Editor output folder and it'll be there. Drag it to your documents and open it in goatfungus Editor from there).
•Click save changes and you good.
If anyone knows how to do the reverse I'd appreciate it 😭

Game crashes [Question]
Hello guys I'm very new to the game I nust picked it up today downloaded it and started playing. Now my problem is that I can't get out of the tutorial planet. I play the game for about a good 5 minutes and it freezes. I get my scanner start scanning things and as I'm heading back to my ship the screen freezes although I can still hear everything. After I press anything "No Man's Sky.exe has stopped working" pops up. It's really frustrating and I hope someone can help me fix it. I have the latest nvidia drivers and the spec requirements are met.
My specs are: 16gb ram Gtx 1050 I3 9100 (I'm not so sure about what gen I think its 9100) And the game is downloaded on HDD
Why can't I talk to Helios? [Question]
So I got the PC version and started a new game. After getting to the Anomaly (two weeks ago) the instructions were to go talk to everyone. I think I talked to Helios then and got a sort of greeting. Since then every time I try to talk to him, he gives me an ellipsis and says he's tired, come back later.
I reasoned that I needed to advance in the game. I explored a derelict and now every time I land in the Anomaly it tells me to talk to Helios for a detector. . . .I'm tired come back later.
I wondered if I was required to talk to every NPC at the Anomaly and ran around making certain I haven't missed any. (Ares also won't talk to me, but everyone else does.) . . . I'm tired, come back later. I have now finished the Artemis quest and am explicitly told when I enter the Anomaly, Talk to Helios and Ares to get nanites. . . .I'm tired, come back later. (And Ares still won't talk to me either.) What am I missing here? On my PS4, I just walk up and talk to both of them once a day, in several saves.
Tldr: Helios always acts like I've already talked to him, and I can't either report findings or get the derelict detector.

There's no reset? [Question]
Been trying to get quicksilver but for the last few days I've had 0 quicksilver missions available? Isn't it supposed to give 1 at 11am every day?
So I bought a disc version of this game a month ago on second hand, just thinking to have something to survive the lockdown.
I ended up loving this game way more than I thought and bought the digital version on PSN.
It turned out I can’t download the save data of the disc version to my PSN digital version. I did some research and found out it might be because the discs region is R0 and my PSN accounts region is R2(japan). I tried to transfer the save data using USB and it also didn’t work btw.
So I have two questions.
if I made an R0 region PSN account and transfer my data, what will happen,, frankly? Since the save data’s name is also linked to my current PSN account..
Perhaps if I transfer the save data from ps4 to ps5 using nms’s transfer function, it will fix the problem and can just play the same data on a digital version? Since I was thinking to get a ps5 soon anyway.
I’m not sure how many people have had similar problems but since I’ve been moving around countries a lot, these stuff happen,, If anyone can help I’d appreciate and hand some activated indium or void egg or,, well really whatever I can afford. Thanks in advance.

How to deal with other players message modules? [Question]
I had just portaled to a paradise planet and was building a base near the portal I exited out of because portals are so annoying to find for me. I set up a decent base, but the next day, someone had put a message module right outside my base with a message claiming that I was trying to claim the portal for myself. I wasn't, but before I managed to contact them they had left the system entirely and just left their message module there next to my base. It is incredibly annoying to see the message pop up every time I go near my base, and I can't delete it, move it, or even turn off messages in settings, as that's not an option. I really don't want to turn off networking because I enjoy the multiplayer experience, and it's cool having neighbors, but I really can't figure out how to get rid of it. What should I do?

Recruiting ships from inventory? [Question]
I hope this is ok to post, but I was essentially gifted a frigate and a ship from a random player and both appeared in my inventory. Though I’ve been unable to figure out how to translate them into actual ships. Attempts to Google have failed. Any advice?
Last weekend's QS missions were undoable because the discovery servers were down 90% of the time, and this entire week I've been connected to them for a grand total of ten minutes over maybe 30 hours of gameplay. For the past two straight days they have been 100% inaccessible.
(They really need to rewrite the error message as well; I didn't "lose connection" to them, HG. My connection's likely better than yours. "Unable to establish connection with online discovery services" or "Online discovery services unavailable" would be a more accurate message and less placing-the-blame-on-the-player.)
I really don't want to miss out on another 1200 QS this weekend because the servers just don't seem to work, but maybe I'm missing some way to trigger a ping to them or something.
Has anyone found any methods that might work? Thanks much.

And every module needs to be fixed.
Honestly it doesn't seem like something so serious but it's really put a dent in my excitement to play and I just don't feel like playing the game anymore after this.

Offline play. Main Ship randomly got rid of all cargo/tech slots and changed color. [Bug]
So long story short in playing offline for the first time because my internet went out, I'm playing the game happy as can be for like an hour or two and realized my ship is not my old trusty ship anymore... kinda it kept the same name, model, and class but it has the lowest slots it can have. Also the only other ship I have a exotic one I got a few days ago is gone. I dont understand what happened. I have a save from a few days ago but it is like like 1500 quicksilver, 100 mil units, and 30k nanites less!! ( I did a lot of farming the last few days) I was looking for a nice S class fighter to buy and I scraped a few ships as I waited but other then that I was mostly just flying around. I'm 100000% sure I didn't scap the exotic or my main ship. Has anyone had this happen to them? Honestly I would not be so broken up about it but I had that trusty rust bucket hauler from all the way back at launch, maxed slots and all :( flew like a one wheeled bus but its my one wheeled bus haha. I really don't wanna reload my save because it was ALOT of farming I did and im really trying to save up that fancy quicksilver stuff for the egg. Any help or tips on getting my ship back would be appreciated.

Helios mission [Question]
Hello,
I am a beginner and am currently working on the mission in the bottom right that says to visit Helios, and that he will request new data types each day. I have not seen anything new when talking to him multiple times while having the mission for a while. After talking to him, I only have the options to give data, which I don’t have any new discoveries so I can’t, or decline. I am not sure how to progress and what to do. I went to another planet which I have not yet been to to get a discovery, but the option to give data is still grayed out. How do I progress and interact with him?

Does anyone else find that Nexus missions for discovering ancient bones is a good way to earn units quickly? [Suggestion]
If you summon the Space Anomaly and go to the nexus for a mission (solo) and find a mission to discover ancient bones, you can then find the bones, and then return to the space station and sell them. The common bones are worth around 60-80k units, but there are easily discoverable rare bones that sell for anywhere from 250-600k units. I just discovered a high value gold bone that sold for 1.8 million units. You can keep grinding this to gain units quickly. Wondered if anyone else uses this tactic, as I just discovered how easy it was to get units early(ish) in the game. Maybe this would be helpful for a beginner.

Is there any way of viewing your discovery progress on a Planet? [Question]
As I am a very exploring person (especially in space-games) and like to have things 100% (or at least close to it) I was wondering if there was any way of viewing your discovery progress of a planet. When I got to my discoveries tab and then look a planet, I can only see what I've disocvered so far and not what I am missing... is there any way to view that? If not directly in-game I would be happy with a website, that for example just has everything you can discover listed and you just have to enter a planet name, for example. Looking forward to an answer, thanks! :D

more colours for protocaeli

Finding ships and reloading a save for better stats and class [Question]
I’ve tried to find info on how the ship class and stats work when reloading for those better stats, but I’m still uncertain how it works.
Say, if I land on a trading post or a space station and jump out of my ship, creating a save. Then I see the coolest ship I’ve ever seen, but it’s inventory slots are crap (I don’t care that much about class). So my questions are:
Do I realod my save and wait for the same ship to reappear and would it have different stats with every reload or is there some trick I need to do before reloading?
Is there a difference if the cool ship was already in the station/trading post when I got there instead of it flying in after me?

Finally found my perfect planet. [Discussion]
So I finally found the planet I've been searching for for 150 hours, it's a paradise planet with medium length white grass and purple skies. It has no storms, some really cool fauna and golden trees. I usually build my base within 300u of a planet's glyph portal. I did the same with this one; went to building my base and noticed that it was dawn/dusk for an unusually long amount of time. After an hour or two, I was confused so I climbed the nearest mountain and used photo mode to change the time of day. The sun never sets but just skirts along the horizon leaving me in perma-dawn/dusk. I'm assuming that the glyph portal and subsequently my base are both on the northern pole of the planet and the sun is perpendicular to the axis of my planet. It's really cool and I'm just mind blown that after 300 hours total playing the game I've never experienced this. Have any of you?

I introduced a new player to the game and put a lot of focus on exocrafts [Discussion]
The results were fantastic! When used for their intended purpose, each exocraft is a lot of fun and really adds to the game.
I met a new player on the NMS discord who was still fixing his ship and thought to myself, what would happen if I gave him a roamer exobay and told him about what each exocraft is used for, making them sound important from the start? Another layer of fun is added to the game!
Just in repairing his ship he must have used that roamer more than I ever had, and it worked! He managed to fix his ship a good bit faster than other people I'd hung out with at the start.
He upgraded his roamer whenever he could, which ended up being a lot more productive than upgrading his ship and multitool since he got new ones somewhat frequently. This paid off, his travel speed on land and upgraded mining beam along with the ability to scout structures even helped him enjoy some of the previous boring story missions a bit more.
Then he unlocked the minotaur and the nautilon.
Before I get into this part I have two things that I'd like to point out: the roamer and the pilgrim are both great and have niche uses, we didn't find them worth upgrading early on, and you're welcome to disagree with that, and the exocrafts have faults, I'm not here telling you that they are perfect. A tlc update that allows for a technology tab or upgrade station would be awesome, being able to give your exocrafts the love you give your ships and freighters would go a long way.
The minotaur was as big of a deal as his first freighter. The mining beam is strong, it's durable, fast, can use the bore, and is all around a ton of fun. He HUNTED upgrades for the minotaur after getting it and used it everywhere, believe me when I say you haven't experienced the sentinel fights until you hop in a pair of minotaurs and go toe to toe with the walkers.

Last effort for main story glitch [Question]
This is my last attempt to see if anyone has ideas for how to progress in the First Traveller mission I’m stuck on. It says to charge the glyph and learn the coordinates for my planet. Glyphs are charged. Portal is active. Coordinates acquired. But it won’t acknowledge that I’ve done those things. Mission won’t move in to the next step.
Things I’ve tried: -Resetting the quest somewhere else (it won’t let me reset it). -Joining someone in multiplayer -Going through a black hole. -Finding another portal in a far away system and charging that one.
At this point I don’t know what to do except start a new game and ditch my 100 hours. Any thoughts or suggestions are appreciated.

New(er) Player - Question About Systems [Question]
Newer player here with a question about star systems. I recently acquired the Indium drive and have been searching for Blue systems on the galaxy map. So far I have traveled to 2 Class B systems (both with Indium), the first system with two star and the second with three. That being said, there are a bunch of blue colored systems around myself on the galaxy map, but multiple with the class designation of G or F, which I thought was usually reserved for yellow systems. I am just confused about why they would be colored blue on the galaxy map, but with a class of a yellow star, and if this has implications to being multiple star systems with yellow stars as the primary, or something else. Also both Blue systems I visited are uninhabited, one with an abandoned space station and one with no space station at all, I am just assuming this is due to chance and not anything specific about Blue systems, but I figured I would mention it. My main question would still be to ask why most of these "Blue" systems are not class B or O, and what that could imply with regards to multi-star systems or anything else.
Any information helps, thank you!

Is there any way to show the appropriate characters in the Anomaly? I know I still wouldn't be able to read it, but the little "x-boxes" just make the experience feel a little buggy.
I'm not complaining, it's just a minor that that I'd like to fix if I can!
Rock appeared [Question]
Hello,
So when I logged on the game the next day I saw this rock right at my base. I needed to make new doors to be able to enter, and my solar panels and batteries are now gone but my base is still being powered. To mine it (pure ferrite) I need an advanced mining laser, but I am not sure if I am far enough in the storyline to be able to get one. How did this get here and what should I do?
My multiplayer seems to be not working in any way [Question]
So I've got No Man's Sky a few days ago and did a few main story missions now and discovered multiplayer exists. Problem being, it seems to be not working at all for me... When I start up the game it only shows me my save files to load and I also have no "Network" option in the in-game menu. I've got the GoG Version and I also installed GoG Galaxy and launched it via GoG Galaxy but it still seems to be not working. This has been so since I got the game (A few days ago). Does anybody have any help or ideas on fixing this?

Can an expert in the power/switch logic please help me? [Question]
Hopefully this is a good place to be posting such a question. I have poured over tons of videos and guides and things on power/switch layouts and it's doing my head in at this point trying to get what I want to do done.
I don't know how y'all have the patience and ability to make some of these extremely extravagant complex layouts of things like clocks and more. Not sure if you have some kind of programming/engineering background or what, but I lose track of the flow and control of power way before I can make anything that complex...
Anyway... What I am essentially trying to make is an airlock scenario for entrances into my low orbit base. So you have a small room, interior doorway to enter, exterior door to leave, and well obviously it works the opposite if you are coming in. What I want is a wall switch inside this small room that triggers everything to occur whether it is leaving the base or entering, except when you are entering the base from the outside a proximity switch is opening that exterior door, and when you are exiting that proximity switch closes that exterior door. In addition when you trigger that wall switch a beatbox tune plays that I created which is essentially just like an alarm noise, and also connects to a beatbox switch that makes a red light flash in unison with the alarm.
When exiting, and you flip the switch to on, it should shut the interior door, immediately play the tune immediately, and then after 3-4 seconds, open the exterior door. You exit the base and after exiting range of the proximity sensor that exterior door shuts, and the alarm shuts off as well.
When entering the base, the exterior door opens automatically with the proximity sensor, the alarm and such plays. You flip the wall switch back off and the exterior door shuts (preferably instantly), then after a 3-4 second delay, the interior door opens and the...
I feel so dumb [Discussion]
I was going to trade my sentinel class for a resugent venator, i got S class in a tier 3 Korvax economy with nice colours, and then I didn’t have enough money. So i stupidly left to go collect my AI farm and when i came back i realised I couldn’t find it again :( i have already overidden both my saves so i guess i lost the perfect freighter forever.
Obligatory “To Live Forever” Post [Information]
I did it. Want to share my thoughts for others who may try it.
Summary: *I have a 100 hour main save.
*This run took 17 hours. Easily could have been under 10
*As others have said, the first hour is comically challenging (and the first 10 minutes even more so)... but once you clear that, if you’re careful, it’s just going through the process
*Against all odds I did it on my first try, though the first 10 minutes were pretty sketchy
Path: *Usual starting shenanigans
*I went through the atlas path (visit the 10 stations)... didn’t realize, but that DOES NOT result in the achievement. This did result in me spending time to farm milestones... which gave me plenty of nanites
*Did chlorine expansion for units... the 250 stack size limit makes this a real chore
*Bought the geo dome and power components thinking I would need to do some cooking to farm nanites, but I never needed them
*Bought a B class explorer with a nice range bonus (this took an hour to find)
*Bought 6 S class hyperdrive modules to start the trek to the center
*Since I had all black holes notated (due to completing the atlas station path), I did about 100k toward the center in a concerted effort. This was eye-bleedingly boring and I could swear it’s WAY slower than on normal mode. It felt like the black holes were giving me 2-5k ly per pop, and it literally bankrupted me to buy all the wiring looms to fix things after every jump.
*Choice was to either do more chlorine and warping... or just do the Artemis storyline. I chose the latter for my sanity. It’s a lot of going back and forth, but less boring imo
Very doable if you know the game mechanics. I bought an emergency warp unit and had a stack of ion batteries and life support gel.
No rocket boots or grenades.
I turned off multiplayer immediately. This made the game (XBox) infinitely more stable...
Are there any plans or interest to have No Man's Sky server on Guilded too? [Question]
Guilded is very similar to Discord but it's more gaming focused and got good features for large communities such as forums, media channels, groups (mini servers to organize the server) and a lot of stuff and also there is no paywall + you can import the server so you don't start from the scratch.
I know some may confuse this with an ad or whatever but I thought of suggesting this and it's definitely worth giving it a try.

Oddities in space [Bug]
Today I went on an adventure towards the edge of the galaxy, in hopes of finding a planet from where I could take a cool screenshot of a night sky with one half completely empty of all stars. (Since you're reading this instead of watching said screenshot, I think you can already guess it didn't quite go according to the plan.) I was surprised how quickly it went – I was prepared to perhaps spend days or weeks just travelling from system to system in that general direction, but aside from landing on and exploring a few interesting planets along the way, it could probably have been done in less than an hour or so.
Once I (almost) got there however, things didn't quite work as one could have hoped. From what I understand now, the galaxy appears to be surrounded by a (relatively thin) layer of inaccessible stars that seem to function as scenery and can't actually be visited by the player. Yes, of course I have a hyperdrive upgrade for each star colour, that's not the issue here – none of the stars could even be marked, tagged, or have any information about them.
As I was sitting there at the "top" of the galaxy, I decided to do another fun little experiment and test how much time it would take to just use the galaxy map itself and zoom all the way down to the "bottom". I think that took a little less than three minutes or so, but what's much more interesting is the fact that after zooming straight down and away from myself, I found my position again – or at least what the game considered to be me, on the current star, but suddenly located below the galaxy and without any stars appearing at all. Since my actual position still was near the top, this was of...
Suggestions on Quality of Life Improvements [Suggestion]
So after years of improvements, I finally bought No Man's Sky and have been enjoying my endless journey through space. However, I do have a few suggestions that would make things better.
The first is a single problem with having a portal on a Freighter. You can leave, but you can't go back. I assume this is because the Freighter isn't classified as a "base", and I don't know the backend to solve it, but it would be nice to have Your Freighter as a portal option.
The second is a big one. The Orbital Exocraft Materialiser is incredible... except for one issue. You still need to build geobays on at least one planet per system. My freighter is definitely big enough that I could add a very large room, the Exocraft Garage, that would house all of the exocraft in their own glass walled chambers with terminals to customize them.
Bonus points if summoning from the freighter causes the Exocraft to fall out of orbit in a pod.
There's also an issue with leaving the freighter while a refiner is working only to come back to an empty refiner with no finished materials, but that's not a suggestion.
The third suggestion is changing the build camera to allow for static views around a structural area and a grid based overlay to help with putting together base structures from cuboid parts or basic parts. Allowing them to be saved locally as Prefabs that can be placed down for the material cost of all parts would be a wonderful option as well.
The final suggestion is just a sad wish... evolving living ships (increasing storage, stats, etc)... and maybe living Freighters. Now I'm not saying I want to fly the Lexx everywhere, but maybe the ships from Genesis Rising that feed on blood.
Seriously, imagine having a freighter that's a giant living thing with rooms that are grown inside as organs with bio-luminescent lighting, chitinous walls, and fleshy doorways....

Screen Flickering or Black screen Issue [Bug]
Hi everyone. Let me clarify the problem I am facing. I start the game fine and load it fine as well. However, after playing an hour or two, I am facing either one of the following issues, Screen flickering or Black screen. When the screen flickers or a black screen occurs, the hud remains perfectly visible. I can see the overhead direction and every part of the hud except the screen which is black. I have updated the game, updated the latest Nvidia drivers as well, checked my screen resolution settings, and everything.
My rig:
Asus Scar III G731GW
RTX 2070
RAM: 16 gb
Intel Core i7 - 9th Gen
P.S. Windows is also updated to the latest version will all optional and mandatory updates. I usually play once in a while so the last time the game worked fine was before all these updates. I have not tried reinstalling the Nvidia drivers. Anyone else facing this issue?
Sharing my emotions [Discussion]
I've just opened this sub and the amount of amazing things I'm seeing is enormous! I'm overwhelmed with an endless train of more interesting stuff this community reveals.
being an informed gamer, I thought I can't be impressed by what the game holds, I've watched videos of the game and witnessed the rise and fall and the Take off of NMS, but have never been told of it's hidden treasures, these heaven-like planets, the exotic living ships and the animals that I can't find a fair definition other than exotic for them but I already used that so..
But the key to all these wonders was in no place but here, among you who made the best of what hello games have made, bless ya lovely nuggets! You're amazing!
I've been playing for 25hrs doing normal stuff, some rich pig on the anomaly gave me a 50mil worth scrap and made my life easier, my small fleet reflects the light of the warm stars from the Euclid galaxy.
I know I haven't seen anything yet, there's much more yet to see, I hope to offer you something of my own one day too.
I think I'm not leaving the game soon, and it's all your doing.

Hey all, I'm a returning player and I'm wondering if exotic ships are viable. By that I mean suitable for being my primary ship.

Is it possible to abandon/unclaim a starship? [Question]
First serious playthrough, I traded the first crashed starship i found for another starship, but when i went back to the trader i exchanged it with, i could claim it back for free. not swap back, claim it for free. I am assuming this is a bug, and the idea of having used a bug to get few thousand units stuck with me.
can you abandon a starship? should i even try to avoid getting currency in unfair ways? considering how easy it is to make currency? should i even bother?
Lag when exiting planets atmosphere [Question]
Whenever i exit a planets atmosphere with my ship, i always get a 1 to 2 second freeze and then the game continues. Its been like this for ages for me, but i kinda remember that it wasnt always this way (not sure though)? Is this the same for everyone or is there something i can do to "fix" that? Im on PC, 9900K and RTX 2080 Ti, so i dont hink its a hardware problem (everything maxed out, avg. 120-144 FPS). Maybe a specific setting i could tinker with?

I tried to reload the saving twice and restarted the game, now I'm in orbit and the quest symbol doesn't even show up anymore (because tecnically I completed the quest I think). Do I really have to delete and restart the saving?

How to stay interested? [Question]
So I really like the game. I'm fascinated by everything and even more so since I aspire to be an astrophysicist in the future, so space is a very interesting thing for me anyway.
However, everytime I begin to play it, I begin a cycle of making a new save file, making around 5-20hrs progress, lose interest and then stop playing. Maybe a couple months later, I start a new save file and the cycle begins again.
I really enjoy the game when I play it but I hit a point where I somehow just get completely disinterested.
Has anyone else gone through this?
How can I tackle this?
EDIT: It may or may not be important to also say that I've only ever used the regular mode/difficulty.

Is multiplayer broken? My ship declassed and I'm missing 2 ships [Bug]
Started playing MP with some family. Prior to joining my cousins lobby last I brought an s class exotic. Everything seemed to go fine until my dad got on. It took him forever to join us, and when we tried to join him it'd say start initialization. We finally got it to work if I was hosting the lobby and the game seemed fine since.
But when I got on today my exotic ranked down to a B class and I lost most upgrades on it, and 2 of my ships I brought are no longer in my vehicle list. I made sure I saved before logging off. I tried switching ships and recalling my exotic but it's still downgraded to a B class

I broke my freighter… [Bug]
So I spent a few hours today in my freighter expanding the inside and building things and growing plants in it, later on I put three medium refiners down and started refining some radon, and I had went in and out of it several times while the radon was going, but then after it should have been done I went back into my freighter and all of the expansions I had made were gone, even a few that I made a few days ago, the whole interior was back to the way it was when I got it. I also tried to use the freighter warp drive and when I open it it says that I’m in the centre of the galaxy, the whole map is just black and I get stuck in the screen and forced to reset my game. Does anyone know how I can restore my freighter?

The free stuff in the anomaly [Discussion]
I think the the things people give away in the anomaly actually make the game a little worse even though it has good intentions.
My first normal mode time I ever played someone gave me 9999 activated indium. I was so happy at the time and it helped me make so much currency. Then I'll be able to make even more units that the first 9999 activated indium sales got me
But now nothing feels special because unit's was so easy to make from day 1
I just started a survival mode and my second station had a S class multi tool. It was like 3,500,000 units, I had like 20,000. My home planet had ancient bones so I grinded those for a hour and I got enough. It felt so much rewarding
My next mission I am going to the anomaly, any free stuff I get will be deleted. I feels so much rewarding this way. It's fun managing units

Antimatter in awakening quest is unreachable [Bug]
Hey guys, I booted up this game for the first time since 2018, and I put about 5 hours into a new save. I'm at the part where I need to get the antimatter for my first warp jump, but I cannot get to where the building is. When I first enter the atmosphere of the planet, I can see where I need to go, but once the planet fully loads, a volcano is right on top. I have tried mining, and shooting it with my ship. I have tried to find antimatter on the other planets in the system and have even tried going to the space station. No luck. Also have tried relaunching the game multiple times. I really don't want to start a new save again. I have even looked up this issue and it seems that I'm not the only one but no one really seems to have a solution, but most posts are from 3 years ago.
Hello Games are machines [Discussion]
So, after watching the Engoodening of NMS again, and pondering on what I want to do during the free time I have in my train wreck of a life...I caught the trailer for Prism.
And just...what?
Did Sean and the team sell their souls for this work ethic? It's been 5 years of straight W's with these updates. How?
How do they keep smashing it and making this game so incredible. More incredible. Incredible...er...
I dunno, felt like gushing. Those rain effects are sexy.
In a industry with...points to ActiBlizz ...it still astounds me to see a small, humble team making absolute magic with a game that 5 years ago, the Internet hated.
Maybe it's just me, but HG and the story of NMS is truly inspiring, and even my broken, malice filled heart of hate grows just a little when I think about it.

Question about overlapping bases [Question]
Hi there,
Okay so after my previous question I decided to add a 2nd base computer near my 1st base computer (within the boundaries of the 1st base) so I could finish my base. I then uploaded the 1st base.
Will players only see the 1st base and not the additional construction from the 2nd base? Or will both be visible since they are overlapping?
Help [Question]
Does anyone know if the time skip still works to skip the timer for the living ship quest, kinda getting annoyed with the waiting
Thank you stranger! [Discussion]
I was just minding my own business on the Anomaly when I saw that someone added something to my inventory. I can't even remember what they were called now, but it was some kind of salvaged scrap or something. 10 of them worth 50,000,000 units each. I was flabbergasted. Obviously this was chump change to this person, as they were just handing stuff out left and right. Clearly, there are levels to this shit. But it was a game changer for me. Helped me out in a massive way. So, thank you for your generosity, even if you never see this.
What is the best way to get a void egg? [Question]
From what I've seen online, the best way is to get one from the Quicksilver Shop, but it is very expensive. Is there any other way, or will I have to grind?

!Spoilers! What now? [Spoiler]
So I got bored of going to the galactic core and instead went to the final atlas station and reset. Chose a green sphere and ended up in Eissentam
I ended up on a paradise planet with all my stuff broken - does everyone go to the same planet when doing this or did I luck out and get what looks like a good one?
! Do I start the story all over again? !<
Game wont load past 98% [Question]
My 350 hour game wont load on ps4 whatsoever :( was absolutely fine yesterday. Any ideas? I searched and saw a few posts from the same issue but no actual solutions. Is my save file corrupt? If i have to start again i think I'll just quit which i really dont want to do. Unistalles and reinstalled the game, did nothing. Sent a request to hello games, still no response after 6 hours. How long do they normally take? Is this even fixable? I just wanted to play on my day off! :( anyone help?
Companions and Distress Signals [Question]
So I've read somewhere your pet can locate distress signals. Is it true and if so how do you teach it to do it?
Has the Sentinel behavior AI been upgraded? [Question]
The story of what prompted this question...
I landed on an aggressive sentinel planet this morning (I would swear it said something less when I scanned the planet from space). I was doing very well stealthing and ghosting the normal scouts for about 30 minutes. Then I spied a building icon, so I went to investigate. About 200 u away I recognized that it was a manufacturing facility. As I crossed the low ridge before it a scout caught me good from behind, so I made a dash for the door. Simultaneously 3 scouts, 3 combat drones, 2 quadrupeds, and a walker appeared in what seemed to be a double line formation directly across my sprint path. I cracked the door with my boltcaster from a distance and rocket jumped into the facilty as three red beams narrowly missed me. The quads moved to my right to target me with their beams at an angle through the door while the walker tried the same on the left. Suddenly the scouts tumbled through the door as if kicked by the walker. I trashed them quickly. Next the 3 combat drones tumbled in the same way, they died almost as quickly as the scouts (fully upgraded scatter blaster at point blank to the faceplate). Dodging back and forth around the inside of the door I eventually managed to dispatch the quads, who thankfully never did that horrendous heat butt charge they love so much. The walker then lost its leg plating to my scatter blaster as it kept trying to maneuver to a firing position. It then moved directly to the door and tried to stomp me. After it gave up on that it seemed to overload or be confused, and I finished it off with a few boltcaster streams to the head and torso.
Afterwards I saved, cracked the terminal, and made a beeline at full speed for my starship.
This all seemed like a much more coordinated and tactical encounter than I have previously experienced engaging waves of sentinels and watching them run around...
Has anyone heard anything about any future updates, it's gone a tad silent? [Question]
People are saying there is going to be a anniversary update that's stated on the no man's sky website, does anyone know anything about this update or other updates?
Starbirth mission appears to be stuck [Starbirth Spoilers]
So I was growing the heart and I left it in my freighter. When I came back the next day the heart has duplicated itself!
But I continued on. The egg and the mission led me to a plaque that unlocked the solar ray?? Again?
And now the egg is telling me to go to a planet, but the mission says that I should wait for contact... I have been pulsing around for 40 minutes, and I haven't gotten the call.
What am I supposed to do? I have wasted to much time on this to restart the mission, if anybody has a solution, please tell me.

Is it specific timed event? If yes, when expeditions event starts??
Getting an S Class Freighter to spawn [Question]
Hey, I know there a plenty of guides how to get yourself a S Class Freighter for free. But there is one point where it starts to get confusing...Its the "gate" of warping 10 times befor S Class Freighters can spawn. In my save I meet all conditions for a captial freighter to spawn and the next warp is for a fact a capital freighter. So far so good. But this particular warp is my 10-warp-milestone. Since I was unlucky for 2 days now I have two questions: 1) What is your experience about S Class freighter spawns? Did anyone of you meet an S Class freighter either exactly at their 10th warp or before? 2) If they are really gated behind the 10 warps, is the 10th warp milestone included or is it "anytime AFTER you gained that milestone"?
Freighter colors [Discussion]
I think I just wasted 15k nanites to change the color of my freighter. Only trim trim changed. Everything else stayed the same metallic splattered green
Semi-invisble sub-orbital base? [Question]
Hi all,
I tried to build my first sub-orbital base. Everything went well for about 24h, leaving and re-joining the game multiple times without causing any issues. However, after warping out of the system and returning I could no longer build on the edges of the base, so I tried saving and reloading. While this fixed the issue, it also turned half the base invisible...
I know that the objects are all still there because one of them was my Base Teleport Module - it doesn't allow me to build a second one, so the first must still be in the game, even if invisible. I don't mind re-building the base at a lower height, but I don't want to delete the base computer as it is also associated with my land base, which I spent ages building.
So how could I either (i) fix the invisibility altogether or (ii) delete the invisible objects only, without deleting everything?

And others give 4 sets of 4 :049D:007C:0E09:0004: (some place i kinda want to go to) What gives? What portals can handle the 4 sets?

Star Systems [Question]
Hey guys! I'm quite new to No Man's Sky and for every star system I've travelled to I've explored every planet in them. I was just wondering if you guys do the same or if you skip most of the planets and just like to visit one planet type? :)

How long to complete the story/primary missions? [Question]
I don't have that much free time (due to work), so i play games to chill and to 'complete' them. How long would it take me to play most missions? Will it involve grinding or can i cruise through the game? I want to have a good feel of what the game has to offer
What do you end-game players do in-game to keep yourself busy? [Discussion]
Ive finished all the quests, ive made a bunch of bases, im expanding to different galaxies (which arent different enough to keep it THAT interesting) storage is maxed, and i have a metric ass-ton of units.
Other than Nexus and Space Station missions, what else IS there to do?
You know what'd be cool? Jungle planets. [Suggestion]
Yes, I know there are foresty and overgrown planets, but they don't quite give me enough satisfaction. I want amazing, South America style areas that I can be hunted in. I want canopies of vines making it impossible to see the sky. I want guerrilla camps full of vy'keen warriors armed to the teeth. I know it would be extremely laggy but if anyone can make it work, it'd be Hello Games.
Thank you for reading
