Can you reset units? [Question]

I spent like 60 hours in the game grinding and having fun, and out of nowhere on the anomaly I was gifted something worth about 1,000,000 units.

I was obviously surprised and sold it for the Units, but after that I felt the game was too easy and that I made a mistake.

I haven't played for weeks since because I don't want to start a new save, or use my current one because it feels too easy.

So I was wondering if it's possible to reset your units?

Permadeath quick silver mission [Discussion]

So I was just streaming my permadeath playthrough and decided to do this weeks quicksilver mission to obviously get the quick silver and the secondary reward but as soon as I got to the target planet my starship shield was ripped to pieces and it killed me. I had pvp off so was I killed by the planet or a bug?

Flying creatures. [Question]

Does someone know, if you can tame the flying creatures, who are high up in the sky and don't come down? Like I was trying and get them down by building a crater, which sadly didn't work ._. also got a guardian drone which I call Chubby (is kinda trapped in some floating dirt 'cause of me, is my self-declared buddy), so it was kinda a win. But now I have build myself up to get to them and I got about 2-3 metres close to one of them and nothing plopped up, like is that supposed to happen (didn't play for some months so, I forgot some things) or am I just kinda dumb and not getting the hint, that you can't tame them, because it sure feels like it.

Allow us to trade and swap ships and multi-tools we aren't currently using. Extremely frustrating and has cost me so many hours. [Suggestion]

So here's the scenario. I'm using my favorite ship or multi-tool. I come across a facility that requires me to blow down the door to enter it. I go to the control pad and make the correct decision to disable or fix whatever. Then I'm offered an S class multi-tool as a reward but I don't want to swap it out with my current one because I got worse ones in my inventory and I have put in a lot of resources into upgrading this current one. So I click out of the screen without "declining" the offer so I can change weapons and try again. When I go to the control panel again I'm not able to get anything anymore. .

Similar problem with ships. I find a cool S class ship but rather swap it with another one I got. By the time I swap and rush back to that ship the pilot flys away and bye bye S class.

It would be so much easier if the deva allow us to trade and swap any ship or weapon we have in our inventory when we come across these scenarios. Man I've spent so much time re-loading the game in an attempt to get the same weapon or ship but I can't find them anymore..

I now keep a free inventory slot with my ships at all times. It's a pain in the ass and I shouldn't have to do this. I don't even know how to keep a free inventory slot with multi-tools so I'm not at cap. Either way I don't think I should have to constantly worry about having a free slot available. .

Are the mini fiends on derelict freighters rare? [Question]

So I’ve got about 150 hours on nms and I’ve done my fair share of derelict freighters in fact I got my first S class freighter mod the other day but I’ve never seen the mini horrors on freighters other than the ones in jars.

Infinite Units Glitch? [Question]

I'm not complaining or anything, but this strategy is just so simple and cheat-y that I just had to ask this subreddit if anyone else knows this. If you have a ship that is worth, for example, 1,000,000 units, and you exchange your 1M unit ship with say some Gek's 500,000 unit ship, you give your 1M ship to the Gek and get his less expensive ship in return. However, you can just go to your ship you just sold, talk to the Gek who now "owns" your ship, and claim it back for free. Now you have 2 ships, your same one and a new, less expensive one. You can then keep the newly and freely earned ship or scrap it and profit without losing anything.

In short, exchanging your expensive ship with a cheaper one and then claiming your ship back for free allows you to gain a free ship, and if you scrap that ship, free units. And presumably, based on my tests, you can do this infinitely, as long as you have at least 1-2 empty starship slots prior.

You can also get a discount on any ship with this same tactic. If you have 800,000 units and want to buy a 1M unit ship, exchange your 500,000 unit ship, claim it back for free, and you still have your ship and have gained a new one at a 50% discount.

Does anyone know about this??? I'm just real confused since it doesn't seem like this is a renowned thing, and as cheat-y as it is, it's still in the game. Let me know if I'm actually wrong about this or something, too. Thanks

Please help! Nms file lost??? Ps5 [Information]

Hello all. So this is the story... My ps5 game kept crashing while playing nms. I got error # ce-108255-1 So did a rebuild data base. Now my save file is gone, though a dive into my data storage says it's there. I've tried syncing the data a few times as well. I have tried deleting the game, and re installing. But when I go to play the game the only options available to me is to pick one of the game modes. No save file. Anyone have any ideas? I've spent so much time playing this game.

How to you actually decode coordinates? [Question]

I have seen some people here and on other subreddits sharing coordinates for ships and planets and creatures of interest but I don't really get how to read them or how to find out what my coordinatesare in game.

My second planet was a paradise planet as well and I would love to share it with anyone interested as well. I know it has something to do with the glyphs but I only have 2 of them anyway and it has me more then a little confused if I have to beat the game first before understanding them or if there is a better way.

sentinels are bullshit [Question]

I'm trying to collect these pearls from sentient plants, but every time i pick up a pearl, a crowd of sentinels immediately spawns and starts trying to kill me. I even tried luring them away and doubling back to collect pearls, but as soon as i pick one up, they are on me again, and a new crowd spawns. Is there some way to be sneaky and pick them up? Fighting them has never seemed like a valid option, because as soon as i kill all of them, another bunch shows up to kick my ass

Id love buildable space bases. [Suggestion]

I had a dream involving dead space, and I was running around shooting peeps in a space station, then my dream became about No mans sky and everything was weird, but I thought, "damn space bases would be rad".

This probably was suggested before, reddit search sucks so Im not sure.

I see a lot of people building sky bases, so making a space base would be amazing for them.

And then imagine you can make a starship, a custom freighter, with hangars and cool stuff.

My space station would be an absolute cube, because Im bad at building, but damn that dream was crazy cool.

Would you restart your permadeath game over this? Also QSTs, bug? [Question]

I helped some Korvax dude with a crashed ship and when I completed the mission and the Korvax left, the stranded lifeform icon still appeared in my HUD, no matter how far I go. It's just floating above the ground.

It's a bit annoying, do you think I'll encounter such bug again if I start another game? Is this a common issue?

I'm considering abandoning my save even though I spent 15 hours in it, found a likable A class ship all abandoned and which I almost fully repaired, I like my starting planet and those around it...

Also... Don't you guys find strange that you can detect unknown buildings with your visor but once discovered, they are not detected anymore? Unless it's a shelter (it appears in your HUD as a house), but if it's a trade station, or those other stations, you better remember the coordinates because otherwise you won be able to detect it with your visor anymore unless there is direct visual contact. Or is it just me?

Thanks in advance.

A suggestion to add a little more functionality to freighter hangars [Suggestion]

First of all, I don't know if this has been suggested before and how difficult it would be to implement. However I would like to propose an addition to freighters and the docking mechanic:

(I also do not personally know the ins and outs of the game and freighters so if this is possible or something then a polite notice of how to do it would also be appreciated in the comments)

​

My suggestion is that in the 'fleet management' section of the bridge of a freighter, there be a selection of 1 of 4 different 'docking permission modes':

​ Open - As freighters usually are currently with the available docking for all players and NPCs alike. Limited - (This might be slightly more difficult to add) In this mode, the freighter owner is able to select people (perhaps from their friends list on steam/consoles or they might be able to enter the username into a list of whitelisted players). These are the only players allowed to dock a ship in the freighter Owner only- As the name implies, this would mean that only the owner can dock ships in the freighter. This, like option 2 would prevent NPCs docking but it would also prevent ALL other players from docking as well. This could be compressed into option 2 in which there are no players whitelisted Lockdown - in this mode, the freighter acts as if it is under attack: the doors close, the entry beam turns red and it goes into a full lockdown. Nobody would be able to enter or leave including the owner and the freighter is prevented from jumping. This could be used to trap players inside, to prevent theft or to bunker down for one reason or another. If this is possible then manually activating a lockdown could enforce some sort of armour on the cargo pods that the owner is able to upgrade for materials or possibly currency in the freighter upgrade station titled 'Cargo lockdown armour' or similar....

Suggestions to make NMS a better "Game"... [Discussion-adding more "game" elements]

There's really not much challenge in NMS, it's basically just Minecraft in space more or less. There's not a lot of "reason" to do things...that's fine I guess but it doesn't make for a challenging "Game" with obstacles, enemies, hardships, etc. Here's some suggestions, please discuss!

Meaningful variety and purpose of ship types Fighters only have a MAX of a couple cargo slots, just enough to hold warp and launch fuel, that's it. Explorers are the only ships that can scan planets, and have additional scan capabilities like the exocraft scanner modules (i.e. scan for buildings, etc), minimal weapons, can land anywhere Haulers can ONLY land on stations and landing pads, plenty of cargo slots but minimal weapons, no weapon upgrades Shuttles/miners have no weapons, but are quick and agile, can hover in atmosphere to mine, maybe can carry passengers like workers (see below) certain upgrades/modules are tied to specific ship and class...can't install S class modules on C class ships. Higher ship classes are required to get closer to the center of the galaxy...or something. Only S class can get to the center, C and B classes only good for the "outskirts". The higher the class, the harder they are to build, require more rare materials which may force you into "enemy" space. (Or maybe limited to star type, instead of the indium/cadmium drive upgrade, only A class or above can get to green stars, whatever)

​

You can't buy ships, only blueprints. You can only manufacture said blueprints on a base, giving bases a reason to exist You have to hire workers to complete your ship, and your base is where they stay Races are tied to specific ship types, so if you only have Gek workers available (see below) but want to build a Vy'keen fighter, it takes more of them to complete the job, more materials, time, etc. Gek are shuttles/haulers, Korvax are...

I just had the luckiest start ever [Discussion]

I began on a frozen planet, almost dying, before leaving to planet 2. Planet 2 was a scorched planet with agressive animals who almost killed me cuz I had to use my binoculars to find a signal. Usually you would build your base on planet 2, cuz that's part of the main quest, but I didn't want to be constantly being on the run from hostile carnivorous triceratops, burning to death while looting, so I moved on. My system had 8 planets. The third planet I found had no atmosphere and no carbon sources, so I moved on.

Now planet 4 was what I was looking for. A tropical planet, that's mostly land. Kinda rare, but not honey planet rare. It also has high amounts of buried tech, buried caches, buried minerals and organics, which gave me a great amount of early game cash, enough salvage data to get solar power in a hour from start, and enough Indium and cadmium to upgrade my hyperdrive when I eventually get to that point. Also around 1000 units out from my base, I found a waypoint that led me to a minor settlement which was selling a 30 slot S class blaster for 3.5 million, which took me 45 minutes to make that much because of all the valuable resources on the planet, with a little help from 3 secret area maps.

Once I got the blaster, I went to the space station, with enough nanites to buy a S rank and a B rank scanner, together granting me 150K per plant and animal scanned.

All that in my first 3 hours and 30 minutes.

Walker Brain Glitch Experiment #7: Can you drape a hillside in brains? [Screenshot]

In short: pretty close.

https://preview.redd.it/u1ch5y7ir7g71.jpg?width=1920&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=436ec088e886a7a0068f2fae30136d1e05df38f5

The challenge is to find a hillside that is sloped enough for the brains to spread out, but rugged enough to keep them from just pooling up at the bottom.

This actually came out of a failed experiment. Walker Brain Glitch Experiment #6 was, "Can you cover a monolith in brains?". I tried digging down near the monolith, just using the natural caves, and even other monoliths that are in a tighter "bowl", but the best I could get was for them to pool around the base when I wanted them on the monolith itself. Short of building a catchment and directing the brains manually--which I think would be cheating but a bit of a lark just on its own--I didn't see a path to success. But maybe you do!

Still, even though the whole hillside isn't covered, I like how this came out. It looks like a cascading waterfall of brains. Oh, and I got a bunch in the caves, too. This pic doesn't do it justice. I didn't even realize how many were back in there until I went to clean them up.

I am on my way to the centre, about 400k to go, and I am wondering what is the fastest way to travel.

My ship has about 770 jump range and Black holes appear to be doing jumps 6200 closer to centre - and now I have found S-class freighter with 180 jump range in basic (small freighter, but that should only change size of inventory, right?). Should I spend time and credits for searching for upgrades for it?

Terrain manipulator glitch [Question]

Hey everyone! I've recently started playing NMS and while I'm loving it so far, I do have one question.

While browsing this subreddit I noticed several people talking about mined terrain eventually respawning after using the terrain manipulator. So I decided not to rely on the mine function of the manipulator. However for my base I really need to flatten the terrain quite a bit.

So my question is; can I safely use the flatten function of the manipulator without having to fear that the entire thing will be reset after leaving the system?

Thanks in advance!

Long-time player with questions [Question]

Hello friends, I've been playing for around 1,000 hours and have a few questions for you! Today I noticed that I can add more than 3 positron ejector upgrades from space stations if I spread them between the technology and inventory sections (i.e. 3 upgrades in each part). Is this a bug/exploit, or has this always been the case? I currently have 6 supreme upgrades for the weapon now, without any issue. Normally, adding a 4th upgrade would cause all of them to flash red and stop working. Does the upgrade synergy thing affect the raw numbers displayed by each upgrade? For example, if a scanner upgrade has a fauna reward of +9,000%, is that number increased at all by placing it next to a similar upgrade? There is tech that doesn't really show you whether or not its 'strength' is affected/changed when you move it around. For example, the mining beam. Is there a way to know when you have these upgrades arranged for optimal synergy? I tend to warp to systems which have 3-star economies on the assumption that these will have better vehicles, multi-tools and upgrades, but I don't know if this is true. Am I wasting my time in that regard? Over on r/NMSCoordinateExchange, there are often instructions telling the player to reload the game on certain planets and to disable multiplayer. Why do those things affect which items will spawn? And how in god's name do you discover which steps are necessary to get specific items to appear in the first place? 🤣 Does the rating of your capitol ship matter if you don't use the freighter to warp? Does it affect the kinds of expedition missions you can get or the outcome of those missions? I've never seen a freighter expedition have a difficulty rating above 3 stars. Does this number ever increase? If so, how/when? I've noticed that you can 'stack' space station missions, hopping from system to system and taking...

Lost my base. Again. [Discussion]

So I went back to one of my old bases, a big, climate controlled, underground activated indium mine I built on a perfectly horrible frozen planet. It wasn't the biggest activated indium mine anyone has ever built. It wasn't the prettiest. But it was mine, and I was proud of it. I could check on the storage and power systems, hearing the storm battering the walls and ceiling from outside - confident and comfortable in the knowledge that I'd conquered this little corner of frozen hell.

How wrong I was. I teleported back after running a Nexus bone mission (that involved a lot of digging) to find my base completely encased in ice and rock. Apparently, there's a global limit to how much terrain modification you can do. While I was well below the base terrain limit, I've been playing this save for a few years now, and the global limit silently and mercilessly ate my pride and joy. I ground for days to place that thing, chugging sodium and ion batteries, peering through an inch of frost clinging to my visor to find a perfect spot. Now it's a few building corners sticking out of the side of a hill.

And this isn't the first time, either. Woebelongst time ago, in the early days of NMS, I found a beautiful planet. It was a world of rolling hills covered with the most gorgeous purple flowers as far as the eye can see. Then an update came out. The procedurally generated planets were rerolled. My purple paradise became a frozen wasteland. The base I'd built was hovering, inaccessibly, 50 meters in the air.

I'd been getting back into this game. I was excited to try my hand at an underwater base. But now... I'm kinda like... what's the point? Why invest myself if it's just going to get randomly shit on some day by some game mechanic I find out about after I spend another pile of hours building something?

I love this game [Discussion]

I preordered it and rode through the disappointing release. I played on ps4 sooo much. I had a really cool base that I was super proud of but then my ps4 bricked. I got a pc six months ago and have recently been sucked into the pc version. There is just something about this game that I absolutely love. It’s a grind but it’s so rewarding to finally see your plans come to fruition. I also get sucked into the atmosphere and role play in my head. This game subtly grabs hold of me and really makes me feel like it’s “my house” or “my ship” I know this isn’t the same for everyone. For some reason it’s almost funny to me just how much I like it. I’ve tried to get my friend to play and they are just kind of meh about it but damn it is just amazing. I just spent 9 hours getting my ship ready. Fixing artemis’s ship. System hopping looking for a home world. After finally finding one I have tried to triangulate several Electromagnetic spots and that would support a mountain top base. I finally fucking found one and know I need to scalvage for base materials. It’s soooo tedious. Sometimes frustrating. But holy shit im in love with the spot I found and my mind is racing with base ideas. This game is great and im really excited for hello games. Just had to share with some likeminded people.

That NMS message: You have lost connection to online discovery services. [Question]

This has been happening for me over the last few days. I know the workaround of disabling your NIC and then re-enabling it. That only last a few minutes, but when is a real “Resolution” going to be implemented? Is this a cause of Server Overload with more new players getting onboard?

What bothers me most about this connection issues are old planets that I discovered a year ago are saying "First Contact", which is normal when you have this Online Discovery Services issues. However, now, when it starts working again, NMS no longer goes back and re-organizes those discoveries and puts them back in their proper order on your list of discoveries.

A wee bit messy to see your base established 8 months ago but my discovery page says the planet it is on was just discovered yesterday.

Unpopular Opinion: No Man's Sky was better before. [Article]

I come to you to express my frustrations I've been sitting on for a while. First, I want to dismantle the "Sean lied" narrative. It's true that much of what he said early on could be misinterpreted, and there are many soundbytes cut out of context that give the impression of certain promises. But I think the message was still clear enough. He repeatedly made it clear in the earliest interviews that the game would not feature multiplayer, or combat, or much of anything beyond exploration. No doubt he is a developer and not a public speaker, and probably shouldn't have been made the face of the game, but he was. But that does not excuse the hetz against him and the game, which was entirely undeserved and based largely on imagined promises of a kind of Star Citizen Lite, rather than the artsy walking simulator he actually was talking about.

And my key point is, that artsy walking simulator was a fine game. Hailing from a long and proud tradition of space exploration games going back to Starflight, Noctis and such. But 'The Backlash' forced them to change the direction of the game very radically. And they certainly earned the community's trust. I can't in any way fault them for the dedication to redevelop so much of the game in an effort to please.

There certainly have been many, many substantial improvements. Much improved graphics and performance, at the same time, quite impressive! More varied biomes and creatures. More little stories and missions and locations to find, more dangerous aliens, more kinds of planetary hazards. So much added content that expand the richness of the universe.

But where it went wrong was already with the first major update, v1.1 AKA Foundation. In a game about wandering, I cannot for the life of me think of a worse direction to take than homesteading and base building. The polar opposite of what the game was before. Each...

Hardcore mode is a whole different experience! [Discussion]

So basically I played the game back in December for around 40 hours, I found myself there burnt out by making chlorine farm. I basically ruined the game for myself by taking an ugly shortcut. I know there was so much more for me to do in the game but I was burnt-out.

A few days ago I wanted to start over and this time not use the chlorine method, so when I was about to start a new game i was curious to see what hardcore had to offer and oh my god it feels like an entirely different experience and the fact that I know if I die its over makes me think ahead, put priorities and actually work towards making money, it makes things feel more satisfying and rewarding.

I am basically a new player cause I never had the chance to actually explore the whole game and see what it really offers but man hardcore is the real deal!

Currently I am 10 hours into it and i have to say that I had so many crazy moments like the one that I was running for my life from 4 predators and 4 sentinels and got saved by my girlfriend that came with the airship and started making havoc while i was running like crazy dodging all her shots.

How Updates Work In No Man's Sky - A Guide for Noobs [Information]

It's update time, so I thought I'd post my "guide for noobs" on how this all works here on the subreddit.

There's nowhere really to watch, necessarily, other than this subreddit and Sean's Twitter (Twitter.com/NoMansSky).

It's actually a bit obnoxious, to be honest. Here's how it usually plays out:

Sean Murray will tweet a really vague, innocuous emoji or something. The tweet will be screenshotted and posted here a dozen or so times, usually with little to not accompanying context.

For the next ~3-4 days (depending on Sean's mercy), this subreddit will be literally nothing but an endless stream of screenshots of his post, other posts guessing (usually all guessing the same 3-4 things), memeing his post, with the occasional actually interesting conversational thread thrown in here and there for flavor.

Then the update will actually drop - Sean will tweet it, there will be coverage of it on all the big gaming/tech sites, on all the No Man's Sky social channels, etc. You won't be able to miss it.

Then the next ~1-2 days will be people coming onto the subreddit to ask if the update dropped, when it's going to drop, why hasn't it dropped yet, is this game worth jumping into, etc.

It's usually ~a week or two after a major update before this subreddit is tolerable again.

The mods do an admirable job trying to corral the crazy, but it's just an impossible task.

TL;DR - keep an eye on Sean Murray's Twitter account [it's (at)NoMansSky]. If/when he tweets something cryptic, unsub from this subreddit but keep an eye on his account or your favorite tech/gaming site. ~2 weeks after the update hits, it's safe to rejoin the subreddit.

My Traveler is the very same one I started with in NMS 1.0. He, like the game itself...has come a long way. With every big update, while lots of people were inclined to "start fresh", I kept on trucking. 5 years later I've built a trade empire, endeared myself to all 3 species, unravelled the secrets of the Atlas, became one of most feared bounty hunters in any galaxy...and everything else there has been to do.

Here's to You, No Man's Sky, to 5 Years and Beyond [Discussion]

Today marks the 5th anniversary of No Man's Sky. I remember very much how excited I was to play it all those years ago. I was there through its disastrous launch, the long silences and then the miraculous updates. Even if the game isn't exactly what I want it to be, the fact that Hello Games and Sean Murray kept at it with their passion project through all the hate and confusion makes them a bastion of hope for the gaming industry. In a world where so many companies are content with leaving broken products to rot and infecting them with bullshit microcurrencies, No Man's Sky has remained free aside from its initial purchase.

Hello Games started as a team of six people, about as indie a studio as you could imagine. I remember seeing the concept art and how exciting it was to get a glimpse of this game they were making. Now 5 years later and their team has grown to the point where they can put out multiple updates every year and are able to interact intimately with their fans.

Its been a long long journey, but the journey always continues. Thank you, No Man's Sky. Here's to 5 more years.

Having trouble getting back into the game [Discussion]

So I got this game on launch and played it for like 100h up until NEXT.

NEXT drops and I put maybe 200h into a new save and had a ton of fun.

Since then I’ve only really jumped in when a new update dropped to try and get back into it, but I’ve really struggled for some reason. Even why I try making a new save I just can’t find anything to work towards or do in the game, so I end up dropping it.

I’d love to get back into NMS and have fun again, but I feel like I need a specific bigger goal to work towards that isn’t just “reach the center”.

I have a friend that I played NEXT with that I’d love to play with again, but he’s kind of in the same spot as me rn. Any advice on how to do this?

Is there a better process for this? [Question]

So I am playing survival mode so inventory space is a valuable thing. I have a meh hauler that I used to get my activated indium from the planet to space station. I sell it to ships that come in so I don't crash the market. But it takes forever to get done.

So what I've been doing is I put a bunch of storage boxes next to my base. I put all of the activated indium in those boxes directly from the supply depot's. Then I fly out to my freighter and put all of my Exo suit items into my storage. Then I keep maxing out my inventory with my activated indium. Then I just go to my freighter landing Bay and wait for someone to come in that I can sell it to.

Is there any way to sell directly from my storage boxes? It would be so much easier. I am just trying to find a method that doesn't take so long. This is the best I can come up with until I get a lot more inventory space.

Hey guys! So I recently found a nice planet where I could start my first base, but I'm REALLY bad at building and I got so confused with half of the tutorials (and the lack of some), so I really don't know where to begin and what's a proper way to build a nice base.

Is there any guide or tutorial out there that could help me?

Duplicate exotics [Screenshot]

G'day Folks,

My first exotic was my second crashed ship found; I has no idea they were rare at the time and didn't make a marker.

I just completed it and went hunting for a second. My first system I tried, I found an exact duplicate down to the name. I guess I know where the crashed ship was now.

Now I really wish you could rename vessels; telling them apart is going to be rough.

Apparently Sean Murray alone created No Man's Sky with absolutely no help from anyone. [Discussion]

Did anyone else think it was a bit narcissistic and cringe-worthy that in the new 5 year anniversary and Frontiers teaser video, in the montage section, it was literally mostly pictures of Sean Murray working on the game with really only one picture quickly on screen for the whole development team? A bit disrespectful to the entire team that worked very hard to build this awesome game, no?

So there I was thinking about Frontiers, and the eyes 👀. And then it hit me - we've been reading it wrong all along. It's not Frontiers at all, it's Front-Ears. Must be an avatar update. With an option for ears. On the front. That's why the eyes have been used.

How long do expeditions last? [Question]

I haven't had a chance to try them. Was just reading about them today and went to try them and discovered it's finished. I didn't realize it was something that only ran for a set time. I thought it was going to be more like the multiplayer missions you get from the nexux and they just reset every X days.

How long did the previous 2 expeditions run for?

As hyped as we are about Frontiers, I can't help but miss how small the launch edition made me feel. [Discussion]

Don't get me wrong, I love NMS as it is today and I am excited for Frontiers, but something about the launch edition, how terrain was generated, it just made me feel small. I remember walking up a hill and there was just this giant flat expanse at the top and off in the distance was a building and the neighboring planet was so close it took up my entire viewing area (I'll have to look for the screenshot, no idea if I still have it) and I just felt so small, so alone, there was nothing in view but a far off building and this other planet, I was alone in on this massive planet and I felt like it.

I really miss that feeling, landing on a planet and just walking and everything around me just made me feel small and insignificant, powerless and alone in this giant expanse of space.

I returned to my launch day system... again! [Article]

https://imgur.com/a/nndqxTC (All shots are from the standard PS4)

Some of you (probably none of you) may remember when I traveled back to my launch day starting system during Atlas Rises, right before the NEXT update arrived. I hadn't been back since, so in honor of the 5th Anniversary of No Man's Sky I decided to travel home once again.

There was a bit of a wrinkle though. I couldn't find the portal address I used to get back there and the teleporter list didn't have access to any of those old systems. I am also on PS4, so the save data is encrypted. No coordinates, no portal, not good. All I had to go on was to make the system a waypoint on the galaxy map, and this screenshot of my starting system. So I used a portal address from the Galactic Atlas to jump to the middle-right area of Euclid, and my first attempt was to use the Custom Waypoint path option in the galaxy map to travel there. I wasted many hours warping a few hundred light years at a time, only to be informed by someone on the NMS Discord that custom paths didn't work too well for long distances and often sent you wildly off course.

Okay, well option 2 was to use the screenshot I had. After conversing with a few helpful Discord members and my own experiments about how the minimap presented a location, and hoping that this hadn't changed much since the galaxy map UI was overhauled, I made a plan. I decided to travel to 709.2k from the galactic core as shown on the screenshot, moved vertically to match the minimap's positional data as much as possible, and then would just warp downwards 2500 light years at a time, taking care to always stay roughly 709.2k from the core. It was a long shot;...

New Player Experience Revamp? [Discussion]

I have tried the game off and on many times over the last several years, and have never been able to sink myself into it. There's a variety of reasons for it, but at some point i usually hit a wall before I'm 2 hours into the game. Anyways, a few weeks ago I realized I had the Game Pass version installed and decided to make a real effort at getting into it.

I feel like as they've added onto the game successfully, getting started at this point is convoluted, confusing, and arduous. I have persisted somewhat (until I died and got stuck in an infinite death loop and had to alt-F4 out of the game) but if it hasn't been talked about before, I think the first few hours of the game could use a massive revamp if they're going to continue to grow the game.

I begin with the quests, for which there is Artemis, the Anomaly, and the Atlas. Most of which is an overwrought base building tutorial, with some interesting worldbuilding. Then suddenly Apollo shows up, and instead of building a base from walls, I need to build one from prefabs. I've got NPCs sending me on fetch quests to give me blueprints I've already bought hours ago with nanites, all while asking me to do more for the base over and over in order to progress further.

The anomaly quest is only advanced by the Artemis/Apollo quest, and the Atlas suddenly shows up and inserts itself in both. By now, I have a freighter, which is its own basebuilding area, with duplicate recipes for things I can't build on the ground. Every now and again, the base computer pipes up and asks me to build something else to progress a random base computer quest.

Now I'm several hours further in than ever before, I still have my starter ship, my starter freighter, 2 random bases I built to progress quests that don't really offer me anything in terms of tangible gameplay, some random missions and other stuff, and it doesn't feel like any of the...

Thank you Hello games, for changing my life [A really big "Thank you!"]

This game is special to me, i always loved sci-fi, and a thing that intriged me when i was a kid was the amount of possibilities that could happen in the universe, i really was into speculating how life in other planets could be, and i am still to this day, i remember looking at the clouds in the sky and imagining how it would be to fly right pass them. I recall hearing about no mans sky for the first time in my school, i was watching videos in my cellphone at my desk, it was lunch time, and it was the same month were the game launched i think, i saw that video of the comparison of the trailer dinossaurs and the released game ones, i just thought to myself, "what a strange game", and went on with my life, 2 years after, i was on a store, and there it was, it was in sale, in a really cheap price, so i said "why not?", and got it for christmas, and the instant where i started in my first planet, i saw a mountain, really far away, my curiosity was screaming for me to go there and see, i thought that it was impossible, that the game wouldnt allow me, but the moment i stood up at the edge of said mountain, my head exploded, and when i flyed to space, passing by the clouds of the planet, i couldnt be happier, "how this game exists?!" i was asking myself, the moment those things happened, i couldnt believe in what was passing by my eyes, im not joking, you can go anywhere you want, to the tinyest cave, to the tallest mountain, and to the desolated void that is the vacuum of space, this game really changed my life, i saw the world in a different way, i looked at the clouds in the sky, and was happy that i finally could achieve an impossible dream, this game is an experience, it changes you, it makes you see things in other ways, it makes you wonder, it makes you feel curiosity, i dont know about you guys, but my life wouldnt be the same if this game werent in sale...

No ship customization, no thank you. [Suggestion]

I am excited to see a new update come out, but I've been waiting for ship customization for the longest time and I feel like that's the one thing they're purposely keeping out of the game but slowly building up to. I've been waiting for ship customization to fully enjoy this game because I've been jumping from system to system trying to find that perfect starship, but I can never find it and I always get the same things over and over which is usually the short stubby haulers that look ugly I don't think it would be that hard to implement the system where I can swap out wings and engines to create that perfect starship to explore the Galaxy in. I really want to ship that I can be proud of that says "me" and then I'm going to find that perfect planet and build a perfect base around it. That's my idea of no Man's sky I'm just really sad that there hasn't been a system like this yet.

I'd love to be able to play alongside a friend as neighbors and explore together, but syncing progress when only one of us is online is cumbersome to say the least. Additionally, day/night cycles and weather rarely sync up. Has there been any word on whether or not something like small-lobby servers or personal servers have been considered?

On the Frontiers title screen at the end of the 5th Anniv. Trailer, the logos for supported platforms now includes Oculus. But FB is no longer selling the Rift and NMS hasn't been on the Oculus Store anyway. They also have the Steam VR logo on the support platforms footer so it doesn't seem like there's any specific reason to call out Oculus support...unless they're going to have a Quest version of the game?!?!??

I realize that's a longshot, but why else put the logo on the trailer, when they've never noted Oculus support like this separately, not even on the game's own website?

"Missing piece of the sci-fi fantasy" had me immediately thinking space ship overhaul. Ship interiors for all ships, small crew, flight model overhaul etc... [Discussion]

To me ship interiors and a small crew is the ultimate space sci-fi dream. We all want to be Han Solo and the Millennium Falcon, Mando and the Razorback.

But we don't want to just fly the ships. We want to live in them. We want to eat in the galley. Deck out our quarters. See our crew. Look out at planets as our ship rests in the upper atmosphere.

This is something I thought Elite Dangerous Odyssey was bringing but that didn't quite turn out. So maybe No Man's Sky will beat them to it and join Star Citizen. This is my hope and guess for Frontiers.

First living ship sending me across the galaxy... [Discussion]

Short story time! (Woo)

Notes: Time gates = the parts that I had to wait 24 hours for before progressing.

I got my first Void Egg from the Anomaly a while ago and have gotten through some of the time gates, but I've hit a point after my 5th time gate where it's sending me far. And I mean FAR. The previous steps always sent me to the next galaxy over or a bit of a ways away but always within view so I knew what system to warp to.

In THIS step, I have: 1] Traveled for roughly 4 days (I only get on for a few hours a day when I play) 2] Drained my freighters hyperdrive 3 times 3] Discovered my first robotic species 4] Graduated from a B class freighter to an S class 5] Have a full storage unit of chlorine and don't plan on stopping 6] Have yet to discover my dream planet 7] Finished the Atlas path as far as I know (I can see blackholes on the warp map :3 )

And I'm still going. I have no idea where my egg wants me to go. Once I figure out how to get my screenshots from my ps4 external drive and onto my phone/computer, I will be posting photos of my discoverys to my first living ship.

Just started playing this today. I absolutely love it but I have two quick questions [Question]

I hope this is allowed here. Hi!

I’ll make it quick so we can all get back to exploring the universe.

My first question is in relation to the free freighter mission at the start of the game. I’ve read that you can get S-class or at least a really good one, but I only saw this after I excitedly accepted my C-class freighter. Should this annoy me? I don’t mind starting again but if y’all think the C-class is fine to start with that’s cool too.

Secondly - if I disconnect my Xbox from my WiFi before starting a save, do I get an entire universe to myself? Or will other people’s discoveries still pop up from time to time? I realise this is a silly question due to the sheer scale of the game, but I’m just not interested in any form of multiplayer, even if my settings make it so I can’t see anyone.

Thanks in advance and safe travels, travellers!

Haven't sat down with this game in six updates... [Question]

Always meant to get serious with it, but I never got around to it. RL got in the way.

Can I ask; how'd the grind turn out? A little searching tells me there's upgrades to launch thrusters and such that make sure you don't have to grind for take-offs, but what about the rest?

I'm not adverse to grind, but it does detract from fun, for me.

Subnautica, for instance, is a game that has you grind to get things like air and water, until you upgrade enough that these things take care of themselves. I've played Subnautica twice, and to me, the game begins when you get these unlocks out of the way.

Is NMS the same way, or are you always looking for ways to recharge your life support?

Stuck in game, can anyone help ? [Question]

Lots of preamble in case it helps work out where I am / how to get out...

After about 20 hours of play, I haven't long found a damaged ship and repaired it, took off, and saw an incoming message about another "station" - a large open that appears to be a community hub of some sort.

I did a tour exploring it, until effectively there was only a gate / portal left, and it has some sort of community map for a base on a moon. This was my mistake... As I wandered around a map with horrendous pop-in, I managed to move from a high location to the moon surface.

A short distance away was some sort of glyph gate / portal that I wasn't able to power up because I lacked metallic materials.

As I'm walking around, there was some sort of whispering egg (?) and tried to acquire it ...and... now I'm dead...

My multi tool is severely damaged, I have no ship, and no way of activating the portal.

Hi all, I'm pretty new to NMS, I've only clocked around 30 hours and feel like I've only scratched the surface.

My question is, what are the best missions / paths to focus on at the start? I've mainly been focusing on "path of the traveler" but I side stepped to some other missions for recruiting a Korvax, Gek etc for base building and now feel I should have done these first as I already unlocked the blueprints I'm receiving from the missions. I just don't want to skip or bypass any missions that will help with the story.

When you approach it in the regular space station you see stuff like 'breathable, traffic.." etc. Well, of COURSE you have to be able to breath in those (as do the NPCS) So they'd not let you turn that OFF.

I think those are just a "tease" for the ones we can interact with, in the "dead" FRONTIER systems that have no use really now since no station or Dominant NPC except maybe a dead station.

When the Frontier video is running, it starts with the "O" (space station) and part of the other letters looking like borders around the "O" (the walls in the space staiton.)

| O |

Those systems are already there, being kind of useless, I bet this changes that.

Derelict Freighter Rewards? [Bug]

What exactly are the rewards for completing a Derelict Freighter? I haven't been able to collect rewards since the introduction of tainted metal. I've even sent in multiple complaints in the past... And I've seen no fixes. When it tells me: return to the space station to collect reward -I head towards the station and the objective disappears from my log right as I'm heading towards the station. It's fucking annoying. 😓 I've even tried going to a different star system. Absolutely no workaround works for completing this stupid mission. All it's good for is collecting scrap, units, and nanites. Rewards be damned.

We were on a break. [Question]

I've been on a break for a few years, hadn't realised quite how much content is available now (I stopped playing before the underwater update was released). I'm trying to decide whether or not to continue on PS4 or move to PS5. Firstly if I stay on PS4 and use the VR headset can I play in 3rd person while exploring or is it only while in vehicles? Secondly has the game been updated to run on PS5, quicker load times etc...?

No Man Sky still feels like it’s missing something [Discussion]

When NMS was first announced I was just as hyped as everyone else and when it was released I was equally disappointed. It’s been amazing to see the game grow and have such amazing updates and the absolute scale is amazing to me like the freighters. Almost a year ago when the September update came out I decided to pick the game up again since I had friends who decided to buy it however after about a month we stopped playing, the reason for me being that it felt there wasn’t much to accomplish and I still feel No Man Sky is one big update away from being my favourite game. When I was little I would play the original battlefront 2 with my older brother and the coolest part of that game to me was the capital ship battles so maybe massive battles is what I feel the game is missing. So I guess my question is what addition to the game would complete it for you?

Weird Requests [Discussion]

NMS is a great game and it's ever evolving, so I think the possibilities of what can be implemented and improved are endless. I find it odd, though, that most of the requests I've seen have been for combat and pve for the sake of conquering and enslaving the native species. I feel like a "kill everything in sight and what survives goes to the farm" approach would kill the exploration aspect of this game.

The math of the Crescent in the Frontiers teaser lines up between Wednesday and Friday this week [Discussion]

TL;DR at the bottom.

I grabbed a screenshot of the now famous Crescent moonish O in Frontiers trailer and measured it to be approximately 100px in Diameter (if not, I scaled it). Therefore the radius is 50px.

I then measured the distance from the furthest edge of the black crescents right side to the outer edge rim of the larger circle and deduced that the inner circle would be 75px in diameter.

My first thought was to figure out how much of the area the crescent takes up of the smaller circle, which is ~ 1590px of the larger ~ 4415px whole smaller circle. Math goes something like this:

(Big Circle Radius2 - Non Crescent Radius2) * 3.14 = ~1590px for the crescent.

I then nearly disregarded the math... because well... 36% is quite a bit of crescent for this little circle, while mathematically correct... but then it dawned on me that the crescent could actually be of the bigger outer circle.

This outer circle comes in at a total px count of 7850px and the crescent portion is ~1590px giving us 20.25% Crescent

The Moon Phase calendar here: Moon Phase for August 13, 2021 - Moonrise, Moonset, Moon Age, Moon Distance (mooninfo.org) shows that on Thursday we will have 19% illumination and Friday we will have 29% illumination. I'm not sure where in the sky the moon is at during these calculations of illumination of the crescent...

Further digging the rabbit hole we could go into assuming that since these Moon Phase calculations are done in UTC, and Guildford is UTC +1. The 20.25% Crescent calculated above would put us at 21:00 UTC or 22:00 BST for a 8pm BST Time.

If we tack on a bit of history:

Can't see other people's discoveries or bases. Is this related to xbox/gamepass? Does this work better if you own the game? [Question]

So I'm on xbox gamepass and any where I go, even if someone else already has been somewhere and built there, it registers as a new discovery for me. Even if I log out and in again to make the online discovery services work, I have never met a planet or system dicovered by someone else.

That's not so bad, but worse is the only bases by other people I've seen are trough the nexus in the category 'anomaly in space'. And those are just abandonded small bases that register as a new discovery when i visit. Featured bases is always greyed out and I'm not able to visit any, even if I manage to turn on discovery services. I can do multiplayer missions just fine and interact with other peole so it's not a network problem.

Also when I use a portal to visit some cool base, there's never anything there. This is a major letdown for me as I saw this game as being with other people discovering the same universe and being able to visit eachother's bases. I read up as much as I could about this problem and found out at least until last year everybody with gamepass had this problem. Is this still true?

Are there xbox (series x) players out there that are able to actually visit other people's bases and do they own the game instead of using gamepass? Does that make any difference? Does anyone know a fix?

game progression, NPC interactions and class of upgrades they give you [Question]

I've done several playthroughs in various game modes - normal, survival and permadeath (I don't do creative).

I've noticed that early in a game's progression, when I interact with an NPC and the NPC gives me an upgrade, it's almost always a C class. For example, interacting with a Vy'keen 'bartender' on a space station often gets you an upgrade, and in the early game the upgrade is almost always a C class upgrade.

Later in the game, it's almost always an S class upgrade. I think I've also seen that with the random upgrades I pick up in derelict freighters (not the freighter upgrade from the engineering console, but the ones in crates).

Has anyone figured out what affects the class of upgrades you get from NPCs? Is it reputation with the alien race, or is it where you are in the storyline? Or am I just being fooled by the RNG?

Removed feature? (Creature Behaviour) [Question]

On my first ever base planet, there were small insectoid creatures that would swarm me and try to overpower me in numbers. (These even resulted in my death once). On another planet, there was a species of incredibly small tyrannosaurs that would swarm me and stalk me. This can even be seen in u/Daymeeuhn's pre-release youtube footage with his swarming blobs.

Need a Freighter Expert! [Question]

Hello travelers,

Returning player here and I have 2 questions about freighters for you freighter experts.

I have a freighter that I spent about 100+ hours trying to find about 2 years ago, and then getting in an S rank (it was a T2 system, so it wasn't easy). Thankfully, I'd saved the location because I had planned to post it on NMS Coordinate exchange, but never got around to it. It is a really cool white sentinel capital ship with gold accents. Totally fits my character and ship themes (have about 500 hours total into NMS).

I've recently found out that in one of the updates that happened between then and now, the freighters went through a overhaul that means my S rank now isn't even as good as an A rank for hyperdrive, and I wanted to build this freighter to be my primary warper to start exploring new galaxies.

So for the questions: 1.) Can I get the same freighter again, even though I completed the pirate attack in that particular system and 2.) If I can, will it be the updated version or am I out of luck and now need to go find a completely new freighter if I'm looking for the better tech slot/hyperdrive counts?

NMS x Ark [Suggestion]

I’ve always thought hello could make one of the best games of all time if they make a mix of nms and a game like ark or rust.

Imagine setting up a base and having to defend it, building up your planet, setting up farms because you actually need resources, taming companions because they actually have a practical use, going exploring the galaxy looking for other peoples bases to raid, clans and groups teaming up and fighting against each other

I know nms isn’t a combat focused game in the slightest but both ark and rust have pve servers and it could be as simple as adding pve servers to nms, that way the explorers can keep exploring if they wanted to

I know it’s never going to happen always thought it would be pretty cool like a futuristic ark :)

Do your first hyperspace jump from the starting system A to another system B. Go to the B's (space) station.

Discover that now you can TP to the A's station but you can't TP to the B's station. Facepalm as you wasted a hyperjump and potentially have no way to TP between space stations.

Way for Hello Games to get more money, and keep the game free. [Discussion]

Now, I understand they make money upon purchase, but I've realized, this is going on 5 years now, a point at which most money making games, before micros got big, would've stopped production. I also understand we have had fundraisers to help them.

My suggestion though, to hopefully make it so they never have to add payed content, given the generous-ness of the community, I think it would be a good idea to allow hello games to open a donation kiosk similar to the quicksilver vendor in game. It wouldn't give ANY content, but would help fuel the game, as well as a give a description on why it exist. Maybe it could even have a voting feature so it serves dual purposes, on surveying how the community feels, at any given time.

I really wanna have a conversation about this, so if u answer feel free to elaborate in the comments, I'd be happy to hear some other perspectives.

Crew or Gas Giants or something else entirely? Happy speculations [Discussion]

Okay, two googly Eyes, in Seans emoji, that translates to "Eye Eye", as in "Aye Aye Captain". Or Orange = Origins, when it was originaly, i guess, meant to point out so many update notes in orange (new)).

Being at the Frontier for a 5 year mission, with your crew and your ship. That would hit 5th aniversary.

Or:

There are a lot of Planets in NMS now, but, no Gas Giants. Now the 5th Planet of our solarsystem (counting from the Star) is "Jupiter", the first Gas giant, followed by Saturn (a "ringed Planet", hint hint), both forming something like the googly eyes in the emojie of said Game Developer, that would fit "5th" also :) That would account also for the crecent moon in the "O".

Than again, "Frontier", you (Amiga, mostly) guys know what the Title of "Elite 2" means, look at the cover of that game, look how the charatcters in the "NMS Frontiers" trailer are forming the "I I" first.

Right now it is so much fun to speculate, obviously i couldn't resist.

Would you like Frontiers to be released by way of Expedition 3? [Discussion]

We've been long waiting (at least two days!) for Expedition 3 to release, and some streamers had hinted that it was ready but had been delayed. Do you think that using the Expedition as a sort of tutorial to the possible Frontiers wars between factions would be the way Hello Games breaks us into the new mechanics of loyalty, betrayal, and anything else inbetween? And would you want to use the Expedition to learn the new game mode when it meant you wouldn't be using everything you've already acquired and built up?

My Theory about the next update [Suggestion]

To me Frontiers sounds like an exploration focused update-how can they add more exploration without the need to reset bases-new dimensions more hostile than our current one much like the Nether and the End in Minecraft.Perhaps the new space station cores will act as gateways to new dimensions like nether/end portals.A bit far fetched maybe but I am happy to speculate. Additionally I think the release will be the 17th as this is a Tuesday where we usually get updates and also because Sean is repeating the fact the update is the game’s 117th update perhaps hinting at at August 17th release.Perhaps more loose evidence is that he tweeted a pic of the Age 7 PEGI rating .Is this a nod to the game’s openness to children or is this hinting at a possible release date as well- perhaps September 7th .?

Has anyone attempted to build a road around a whole planet? [Discussion]

I tried searching on youtube but wasn't able to find anything. Has anyone ever attempted or come across an attempt to build a road or elevated highway around an entire planet?

Just a little basic assumptions about Frontiers [Discussion]

I think it'll elaborate on corrupted sentinels, may add a new place or dimension to go to similar to the nether where the new species of enemy comes from. Since it has focus on combat, I assume npcs will be more mobile, have more things to do, and might be able to get into fights with them.

More building and outpost types that step us closer to cities would be awesome and to be honest, that has been in demand for a long time so I think now is a good time deeper civilization generation to be released. I remember someone saying that player bases already crash consoles so cities would be hard to implement.

My thoughts on what Frontiers might mean. [Discussion]

Space Cowboys

Whenever i think of frontiers, i think of the old American wild wild west. Settling a new country, striking it rich with a gold rush, defending small settlements from bandits and raiders. Raiding treasure from unknown places, riding my space horse through a space desert, hunting bounties. The Good, The Bad and The Vykeen.

Maybe perhaps, there will be a new system in place where you can build your own settlement of some kind, defend that from no good bandits that only want your precious Stasis Devices and Geknip, add onto the current system of hiring npcs to your planetary bases to provide some sort of bonus, who knows!

Maybe its going add more to things found in space, or as its sometimes known as "The Final Frontier". Though, we already go where no Traveler has gone before. I guess We'll just continue to explore, seek out new life and civilizations, strange new worlds and to boldly go and find a world to finally call home.

Of course its all speculation, until they release the update, whatever it may be, whenever it may be.

See you Space Cowboy

A (possible) solution for better planetary exploration. [Discussion]

Was thinking about planetary exploration and ways to make it more fun and interesting. Simply put, we need a reason to explore planets beyond what we currently have.

One limiter to exploration in my opinion is the ability to simply land your ship anywhere on the planet that you want. In this sense, there’s no such thing as a frontier on planets. If wherever you land first looks like literally anywhere else you can land on the entire face of the world, there’s no point to straying too far from the ship.

To change this, I propose new isolated biomes on planets in which you cannot land the ship. Maybe it’s too hazardous or there’s too much vegetation or too rocky, whatever. Make it so that these areas are only accessible on foot. And then put some items/resources there that are worth pushing into those frontiers for.

What do y’all think?

Returning Player from 2017 - Super Confused [Question]

I put in about 100 hours from launch to mid 2017. I just saw some previews for new update and decided to turn it on again. Uploaded my save to the PS5 and I’m immediately overwhelmed. All my tech says obsolete. I have all my materials but all my upgrades are gone. I have no idea where I’m starting. Is there a good video guide or something that can help me get my bearings. It seems this game has grown 100x! Now there is base building and freighters and rovers and biomes. It’s very exciting to come back but quite daunting. Since I put a fair amount of time in the game 4 years ago I want to make sure I’m moving forward in the right direction.

Dear Hello Games: Possible to fix VR body? [Suggestion]

Not sure who is else feels this but posting here to see. Just a simple, hopefully small, request that at some point before the final update of NMS - whenever that is - if one of the updates could be fixing the VR body that would be super awesome. HG put in such great modeling work to make a VR IK body which in and of itself is pretty unique for VR games (not even Alyx has it) but unfortunately anyone who turns in real life or moves in roomscale can’t get the benefit of all of HG’s work. The body doesn’t move unless you use the stick and doesn’t turn unless you use stick turning. As a result I turn it off so I don’t wind up looking at the back of my head, which is a little disorienting. Would really like to get the full true VR experience NMS worked for before NMS is someday put out to pasture.

BTW I already have hilightnotes’ VR roomscale mod, https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/1563, which is really great. But this still FEELS at least like something the programming team with access to the source code could fully fix without a disproportionate effort?

I'm hoping to finally do some proper space walking/floating in Frontiers...or at least in some future update [Suggestion]

The game has a surprising amount of focus on space and not have to ability to get out of your ship and float around. Personally it's my number 1 most wanted feature, I do know that we can go out into space on our fleets but it just ain't the real deal. If they do add it for Frontiers or the future, I hope they model space walking mechanics after Prey's space walking; you have full movement of rotation that up and down quickly lose its meaning and you really feel lost, floating in the great abyss of the void.

And who knows? Perhaps be able to build mini space stations in orbit of a planet; floating around putting it all together, space engineers style:D

I do know that people seem to want more planet stuff, so it's probably just a pipe dream, but sure be cool if they did add some stuff like that

-Rivers and waterfalls

-Proc-gen cities/villages/settlements

-Multi-sword / Light-Saber

-Capes/cloaks/hoods

-Distress flares (you shoot the flare and a random NPC drops a cargo with basic resources)

-True procedural colors (Origins brought a bit of diversity but imho it is not enough)

-True procedural planets with new assets (placement and size of assets, even now planets really feel the same to me)

-Variable seasons on planets (and assets / colors variation)

-Variable fog during calm weather, e.g morning fog

-Planet rings are actually debris/asteroid ribbon and not a sheet of paper

-Roaming NPCs on foot and in exocrafts, that mine, scan, fight creatures and players

-NPCs hiring to carry items, send them to sell stuff at trade terminals, help you translate others NPCs...

-Space anomalies can be found on planets

-Ship and multitool colors and parts customization

-New ship and multitool parts

-Combat overhaul, especially in space

-Crouch and prone, that affect sentinel and predator line of sight

-Sandworms leave an actual tunnel behind them (terrain is reset after xx minutes to prevent planets from being completely unplayable)

-Sandworms can be killed and looted for precious rewards

-Land on asteroids and mine / build on them

-Atmosphere converter : Convert a small radius of a planet in the sub-biome of your choice (with specific elements to produce to create said biome) e.g a scorched sub-biome on a toxic planet to farm a small amount of solanium...

"Frontiers" is no hint about the content we'll get [Discussion]

This is probably unpopular but in the past all the major updates were kind of interchangeable when it comes to the name itself. "Next", "origins", "beyond". They say nothing about the content we got. Hello games could have named next "beyond" and it would have make sense as it's going beyond what we already had or expected when it came to multiplayer, 3rd person view and base building. Of course some minor updates in between added exactly what the name said, like exo mech, pets, living ship etc. But the major updates were phrases for milestones, not about the content itself. So probably frontiers is about something new but not literally about frontiers.

Various problems with the VR version (PSVR) and no reaction from Hello Games... [Bug]

I don't know how many of you are playing NMS in VR (I can recommend it to everybody). But I noticed that the Tornadoes are no longer displayed correctly since the last update. I only see the dust cloud on the ground and in the sky but not the vortex.

I also tried to build a very high ladder on a mountain, which worked great but when I try to climb this ladder, I always stuck between the mountain and the ladder and can't get out.

The next Problem in VR is, when I activated the Blaze Javelin multi-tool weapon and put the multi-tool on my back, the weapon is fired all the time until it is empty. I opened a ticket for all these points months ago but no answer no fix and one patch after the other was released, but I have the feeling that the VR version is only disadvantaged . I hope that changes in the next big update because NMS is one of the most beautiful VR games I've ever played.

Terminate on sight? [Question]

If your standing with a species gets low enough, are you fair game in their systems?

I was a bit impatient with getting money to buy ships, early on, so I played pirate in a rich Korvax system. My standing with them is in the toilet, and even when I have no wanted level, I've passed a few random small craft in Korvax systems who suddenly decided to attack. These aren't pirates or bounties, just regular ships with blue indicators.

Is this because of how much I've pissed the TV-heads off? If I tank my rating further (currently listed as Annoyance) will there be more of this? Will I reach a point where I'm actively hunted? Seems like good reason to keep picking on them; easy pickings 😄

Is there any real advantage to putting in the effort to fix my ranking? It would take quite a while, and piracy is still an easy way to make quick cash.

What's your "unusual" opinion/complaint about the game? Something you'd like updated that you don't see people mention? [Discussion]

For me, it's less fauna. I hate that on normal mode it's on practically every planet. They all look identical, and act in a way that is not at all believable- predators being more aggressive than herbivores, predators killing everything in sight eating three bites and leaving it, spawning centimeters from each other, getting stuck on obstacles- and it breaks the immersion for me. I wish they spawned less often, more sparsely, and the AI to be overhauled. Honestly, I'd prefer it if it was simpler than more complex. It'd be easier to believe it if they were just hanging around instead of being awkward.

The eyes mean "Wow look at that!!!" [Discussion]

Everyone is coming to this conclusion that the update is about star trek the final frontier and it does make sense. But, the eyes to me say "wow, look at that*. Now if you think about it that way why would we say wow look at that just for a ship update, man crews or not, when we still would be seeing the same things, biomes, planets, etc.... It would make more sense that the update is about what star trek was about, exploring. We need more things to explore, more things to see that will make us say "wow look at that!!." A manned crew probably is part of the update but the main component is more diversity and or unknown cities and towns with unknown inhabitants. Give me more reason to go see what's over that hill.

Venator freighters [Question]

Is there a huge difference in what type of Venator freighter I get?

For my first free capital freighter I got the Venator (the small one). It’s A-class and has a 33+9 inventory. I tend to live with what I get and not reload for the S-class.

I like the design and size. Color is not my first choice but something I can live with and recolour if I swim in nanites in the future.

The only thing I wonder is, if I’m missing out for not having the Imperial or Resurgent model? I know the bigger ones have more turrets, but is there more to it, for example more storage units or something else I’m not aware of?

I have a pre-warp manual save, so I can try for another kind of freighter if need be. I want to be sure before I start building my freighter base and fleet.

People who give new players millions of units, you are kind of ruining the game for them. [Information]

We all have seen newcomers enter the anomaly with their Radiant Pillar and their default orange anomaly exosuit. And so veteran players who have a lot of resources and money would commonly just give these players valuable items worth millions of units. Now at first this may seem good, your giving players money, giving players money is a good thing right?

No, no its not. Players should be able to get units the long way. Making discoveries and doing missions while trading resources. It can be slow, but that's the point. The first few hours of the game are all about getting your footing the universe. The feeling of reaching 1 million units is so big at first. Then 2 mil, then 5 mil, 10 mil, and eventually you may reach 100 million units. By then you may have built and automated indium mine to make you most of this money. But before that you had to get an upgraded hyperdrive, get blueprints to build automated miners, and gathered the materials necessary to build, power, and maintain those machines.

And that is just one way of reaching millions of units. There are so many ways to progress in NMS: Agriculture, Discovery, selling artifacts, pirating freighters, doing missions, learning alien languages and convincing aliens to give you resources, frigate missions, derelict freighters, hunting anomalies, hunting sentinels, gathering storm crystals, pearls and many other valuable resources. Making money in the game is one of the biggest parts of it. Because it gives you a reason to explore besides pure exploration. Which is very important for players who care about progression.

Or you can just go to the anomaly and wait for some random player to give you a bunch of money at once.

See how bad it is now? I think its okay to give players resources, (oxygen and sodium to help them get through the worst of planets) a void...

On the official No Man's Sky page you can head to the "about page". The page will tell you what the game is about (duh). It was created for the initial NMS release to tell people what the game was about. The catch here is that every single line on this page was a lie. If it wasn't a lie, it was VERY far from the truth. Now, what are hello games doing with this game? They are finishing it. Delivering all of those false promises. I believe the updates after 1(2.0,3.0,4.0, and so on) have been focused on making certain paragraphs come true in the order they are presented to you on this page. To do that, they are dedicating one year to each of the sections on this page.

So let's correlate updates with the different sections in order.

The first one: ABOUT. This was true at base launch.

The second one: NO MANS SKY IS A TRULY OPEN UNIVERSE.

"Whether a distant mountain or a planet hanging low on the horizon, you can go there. You can fly seamlessly from the surface of a planet to another, and every star in the sky is a sun that you can visit. Where you’ll go and how fast you’ll make your way through this universe is up to you. It’s yours for the taking."

This was not true/partially true till BEYOND came out. With the many additions beyond, it made NMS truly open. By ironing out all of the bugs, and adding the anomaly for truly open Multiplayer, this update truly made the universe feel open for anyone to go anywhere. With the...

Can’t join friends game??? [Question]

Title is self explanatory, I can’t join their game and they can’t join mine. All 3 of us just started so we don’t really know what’s going on. I go to multiplayer, I see their names, click join. It says connecting, and then nothing happens. 🤷🏻‍�️

We’re actually really excited to play this but we can’t 😔

Any help would be much appreciated.

Player owned space stations [Suggestion]

I know everyone is talking about this but hear me out. (english ain't my first language so please ignore all the spelling mistakes ect.)

Buying a station should be an endgame goal so it has to cost more than ten billion units (anything less and a stasis device farm is enough to get it in a few days of casual playing). You can of course only own one station and you can't buy a different one once you bought the first one. Buying a station starts a questline and you'll unlock the following features as you complete it:

​

A hangar for around 10 more ships

The ships stored in this hagar are "inactive" which means you can't summon them like the six ships stored in your freighter. You can only activate them when you're inside the hangar and you do that via a little screen infront of the ships "Parking lot". When you "activate" a ship you choose which one from your freighter should be stored in its place. The hagar is of course a physical room you can walk into to show of your ships to your friends.

​

Habitats for more companions

It's based on the same game mechanics as the hangar but this time for up to ten more companions. There are habitats for different creatures ( hot weather, cold weather ect.) and you can only look at them until they're "activated".

​

Multitool storage

A room in which the player can store seven more multitools and activate/deactivate them like ships. These are also stored in a room that you can walk into with other players.

​

And now your probably thinking "but thats just storage for more stuff" and you're right, because in a universe with literally TRILLIONS if ships, multitools and potential companions, the player should be able to store at least ten of each.

​

The Questline I mentioned earlier would probably be similar to the other missions/storyline, so you'd have to find and talk to NPCs, gather/craft...

I have an idea what Station Overrides might do... [Discussion]

If Frontiers turns out to be the big update it seems to be, I bet those space station terminals are going to be for updating your systems to a new "format" (for lack of a better term)

I'm sure there are plenty of people who do not want to lose the countless hours they've spent exploring and building upon a system just to have it get all borked due to a terrain generation overhaul.

This would let players decide which system get changed and which ones don't.

I'm probably wrong, but I hope I'm right! It means we could finally see multiple biomes, rivers and whatnot on the planets.

More frontiers speculations [Discussion]

You know that room on the opposite side of the station from where you recruit workers, and the atlas pass rooms? Where it's usually got a table and some chairs or something? My guess is that from there you will get an option to build a base with new interior parts, similar to a freighter base. I'm thinking once you claim the station others will still be able to warp and travel to it as normal but that it shows as your base in the map.

Also wondering if you'll be able to create space stations from scratch. Perhaps as someone else mentioned you'll be able to build these in undiscovered systems and claim the whole system, though I'm wondering how you'd recruit the various vendors and specialists aboard, and if you can pick the space station model. Maybe you'll be able to buy the space station and move it to the system.

Maybe, just maybe we'll see whole space colonies, which will be owned by the dominant race of the area, but that would be a huge change so Its more just a hope and a dream.

Other thing I'm thinking about is the ability to pilot freighters, and freighter on freighter space combat where the frigates can join in as support.

What if your freighter could be attacked by an enemy freighter, and not only could you zip out in your best fighter but you could higher extra crew to use your remaining 5 ships, both freighters would fire weapons and the support ships as well? This would be quite epic!

Back after about a year hiatus - very lost [Question]

I have a pretty good base on a Paradise planet and a few million credits. Got about 7,000 cobalt. I have a freighter somewhere, but I have no idea how to find it.

From what I understand, cobalt crashing is no longer worth it. How can I make money and progress in the game???

I am at the main point in the story where I'm supposed to "construct the mind arc."

My main goal is to get super rich and get an S-class suit and full exosuit upgrades, but I have no idea where to begin. Feeling overwhelmed. Lots of Google info seems outdated.

New player, need help! [Question]

Hey guys, I apologize if this isn't the right place to post this but I really need help with an issue in game. Me and my sister bought NMS yesterday and have been trying to join each other but it keeps saying "Connecting" and then nothing else happens. Also when I select multiplayer her session keeps appearing and disappearing and I can never select it. We bought play on PC through Steam and have each other added as friends. It's worth noting that both of us have Multiplayer enabled so it should work. I've also tried joining her through Steam friends list but nothing seems to work. The game is really enjoyable but it is a bummer we can't play together. Does anyone have a fix for this issue? Thanks!

My wishlist from before NEXT [Suggestion]

What I want in No Man's Sky future updates but will probably not get (either because of Sony, game design, or technical difficulties) and that's fine: Once again, don't expect this to be in the game at any point, I wrote this 'cause I was bored.

I wrote this a day before we got some new NEXT info, so some of it may be irrelevant.

Cross-platform universe, discoveries, and multiplayer (Sony, please)

A new game mode or replacement for an existing normal mode where no hacking (modding) is allowed, where hackers can be reported for breaking the simulation rules heh, heh :P (we don't want another GTA Online modder situation), I wish everyone would start from scratch in normal mode because there are modders with 2 billion credits (but since people don't want to start all over again f*** me I guess, lmao)

Reason to grind ships/multitools/suit and upgrades forever or some super-duper rare uncraftable upgrades you can find (there should always be something better to find, currently when you upgrade everything and get millions of units, that's it)

Terrain manipulations that save on the server for everyone that visits the planet and not just your party members (you should be able to destroy the forest, dig a hole and build a base there, and everyone should be able to see it, even when you go offline) and when someone harvests your farm while you are offline you should see that and be impacted by it

Planets that look the same from space, and when you land on them (if that means smaller planets, that's fine with me, moons currently look alright if I recall correctly)

Ships with special built-in uncraftable modules (invisibility cloak, tech that allows you to do a short, fast hop in space, a force field around the ship for a short amount of time, etc.)

More ancient buildings, flags, cool-looking space stations, towers from the old trailers

Regions of solar systems...

Galaxy hopping/reset question [Question]

Hey Travelers,

I am near the end of the storyline and planning on choosing the reset. I got a little side tracked and decided to galaxy hop on my own (non story/reset) a few times and have gotten to Hyades, and am wanting to continue on to Eissentam.

My question is pertaining to the reset option in the storyline. If I choose the reset option while in Eissentam and choose green for a lush galaxy, will I proceed to Isdoralung?

From searching the sub, it seems like as long as I have a base in Eissentam, I should be able to return to it after resetting. But I saw some comments about bases/planets getting glitched out after resetting a galaxy. I am thinking of just galaxy hopping to the next (Elkupalos) and then doing the reset from there (as a sacrificial galaxy).

Are my assumptions correct? Will I proceed to Isdoralung? Will my my bases in previous galaxies (including the reset one) still be accessable and unchanged? Are there any issues with my plan?

That's No Moon - "Frontiers" speculation [Discussion]

I've seen some posts about speculating "space is the final frontier" and trying to extrapolate from there. What if it is more of a reference to the first frontier? The American West. I'm picturing small settlements. Trade routes supplying the settlements, maybe some "cowboys vs indians" you can choose your allegiance. I saw a quote from Sean about it being something that all sci-fi fantasies needing. Star Wars has been described as a space western, with a strong good vs evil plot. Purpose has all been about the players desire to do something without much reasoning given by the game. It's definitely a stretch and maybe its just something I want to see. But picture mapping supply routes to expanding settlements on the galaxy map, with choose your team quests as you explore where settlements are rolled into these allegiances. Either way I'm excited!

Is there more than one Atlas path quest? I did the 1st one, got all the atlas seeds & was given the remembrance blueprint but I've read there is another blueprint awarded that lets you detect black holes without asking for them from the anomaly. The Alas path is still in my log & I am asked to visit the next Atlas station but when I do, I can't interact with it & there are no "words" on the floor like there is when you do the 1st one.

Any ideas?
