PS5 Crashing/Freezing [Question]

Sorry if this isn’t the correct spot to post. I rarely had crashing issues on PS4. Just started playing again on PS5 and it crashes after playing for about 20 minutes. I’ve even tried a new save. It’s fully updated and the PS5 version. Just curious if this is a known issue or is there a fix for this?

I love No Mans Sky... I have Slow Mans Brain... [Information]

I've currently sunk 20+ hours in to No Mans Sky, I have only just managed to build a solar panel and battery to have round the clock power in my small wooden hut base. This was a big achievement for me lol. My next task is to unlock exocrafts. For storage more than anything lol However I feel like im just surviving at this point, my inventory is always full, I don't wanna throw nothing away 🤣 my one storage box isn't cutting it. How do I farm? How do I get a freighter? I want one, but I dont even know what you can do with it. My home system has become my sanctuary after venturing out and coming across some weird green scorpion looking mfs that made me have to change the pants of my exosuit. If anyone out there fancies helping me explore this wonderful game, hit me up on steam

Fleet mission question [Question]

Hello, I have several questions about fleet missions. 1)Will I get better results (more units, mats) from 2 star mission if my fleet rating is 2 or 5 stars? Or the fleet rating doesn’t matter? 2) What ships should I assign to a balanced mission? 3) What happens I assign 5 star trade fleet to a two star combat mission? 4) Do I even need to make 200 tones frigate fuel? It doesn’t use less resources than making 2x100 tones fuel

Endless music after first Atlas Path node until restart the game? [Information]

I had my music disabled from the start of the playthrough several days ago.

I visited the first Atlas Path node pretty late into the run. The Artemis part was already on the step of reaching the center.

After I got the first blueprint from the Atlas Path node, I noticed the ambient music of something like sad space sounds even though my music slider was at 0. At first I thought it was cool.

After it remained on the space station, I still thought that may be about the node: that it affects the whole system.

However, after I teleported to my base and the music still stayed although previously there was no music on my base, I started to suspect that things went REALLY wrong somewhere.

I went into main menu and reloaded the save. THE MUSIC STILL STAYED.

I was already thinking that I corrupted my save file and was cursing myself for trusting the game so much and not manually saving more often.

To my relief, the music disappeared after rebooting the game.

I have a freighter question (regular spawn in battles?) [Question]

Currently hunting for S class freighter (turned down the first one at three jumps as didn't really know it was important at the time,) I've got my save right so I'm in range of alot of systems to check and an instant fleet battle ready after I warp.

Problem is I'm always seeing the same two model freighters everywhere I go, the star destroyer or the train. I was after one of the regular ones like a blade or centrifuge. Are these ineligible to spawn in battles?

I did some googling and read some folks saying "you can't get a capital on your third warp" is this the only time a non-capital one can spawn in a battle?

Or am I just getting shafted by RNG? Should I take a free giant ship I hate the look of and an then immediately start landing on freighters I like the look of hoping they are S class and do an exchange?

Thanks guys, also not got the portal thing done yet either. (Just about to contact Artemis with apollo) Wanted to get the freighter sorted before doing more of the MQ

I've been colorblind all my life, obviously, and it's never really hindered me.... [Discussion]

.... Until NMS.

Sure, grade school was awkward in awful artwork and such....and yes, fall season in Wisconsin means fuck all to me (I get it...pretty leaf colors)....

Sometimes, though, I wonder what I am really missing out on when playing NMS. I see all your screenshots and they are amazing to me, even with my stupid eyes, but if I had full spectrum seeing abilities, I assume they would be even more breathtakingly.

Now, I'm not that bad in terms of colorblindness. I see color, dunno what color they are exactly, and I reckon they look way different than what a color-able person would see, but I do not are in B+W. The red/green and subtle hue changes in everything are lost to me though, which makes me worry I'm not experiencing the game as I should.

Maybe I should just say "fuck it" and get an indoor/outdoor set of Enchroma corrective glasses. But $600 for a set seems steep considering I've managed for 42 years without.

Two words. Space trains. [Suggestion]

I remember seeing a post here of a build that looked like a railroad with a train on it, and it made me think how sick it would be if we could have trains in this game. Imagine if you could connect two bases on the same planet via railroads, where trains could carry passengers, animals and other various cargo. Hell, what if we could have interplanetary railroads connected by giant portals?

In my opinion, it would make colonizing a planet more interesting. Yes portals are more efficient in most ways but I just wish there was more of a reason not to use them for everything. If anyone wants to add onto this idea, feel free to, and I'll add the idea in an edit.

A Warning to New Players… [Information]

If you like learning tips and tricks about this game on YouTube, heed this.

There’s a content creator by the name of KhrazeGaming who was honestly one of my favorites to put on in the background while I do whatever. Helpful, informative, etc…

Until he actually spoiled the ending of the game without any warning in a video. Totally 100% no warning spilled the beans so nonchalantly too. And the entire comment section is chock full of people asking him to either take the video down or add a spoiler warning. 3 whole years later, and there is still no spoiler tag in the title or anywhere in the video. He even acknowledges the backlash in some of his newer videos saying stuff like “well some of you got mad that I said what happened in the end” and still no spoiler tag, or even a “hey sorry my mistake, I know people care about that stuff”. Honestly he seems kind of annoyed that people are mad about this at all, which in my opinion makes him look really bad as someone who claims to help new players.

The video is titled: “Top 20 Amazing Things You Can Do in No Man’s Sky 2019”

DO NOT WATCH IT UNLESS YOU WANT (a very important part of) THE ENDING SPOILED

And maybe we could finally get him to add a tag in the title????

Do mods past the limit affect anything? [Question]

I know this kinda sounds self explanatory but what I mean is do mods past the third one linked affect stats? I know you can't link more then three plus the base tech or you get the overload message. But if they aren't linked do they still add some bonus to the associated technology?

For example if I linked three boltcaster augments to the base tech then have say two more augments that are not linked does that all contribute to making the boltcaster stronger?

A Methodological Approach to Solving the "Frontiers" Riddle [Discussion]

I like riddles. Let me take a crack at solving this new one Sean Murray has given us.

Evidence: "In some ways, [Frontiers] is just another update,” Murray said, “but in other ways, it’s a missing piece of the sci-fi fantasy that we’ve always wanted to add, and very fitting for our fifth anniversary. "

He used an eyes icon to represent it.

Let's break down the evidence. The Avatar for the update is eyes. It is "just another update" The update is a "missing piece" of "the sci-fi fantasy" They've always wanted to add it The "Frontiers" branding shows a lot of crescent moons. The name of the update is Frontiers

What does it mean? Eyes Avatar: It's visually astounding, involves sensors, or involves searching for something. Perception, let's say. Just Another Update: It's not an overhaul. If it's a huge update Sean usually says so, but here he starts by minimizing it a bit. Missing Piece: It's a sci-fi trope that many people are familiar with, to the point that it feels "missing" from NMS. Always Wanted to Add: Like #2, it's likely something we've all seen in sci-fi fantasy. Crescent Moons: It may involve new planets, or new divisions of planets. Frontiers: A good way to filter our ideas.

So where do we start in figuring this out?

Starting from "Missing Piece"

A good, broad-brush place to start is #3. It's a sci-fi trope that people are familiar with, so we could look at some major sci-fi novels and see what are tropes. Maybe if we looked at a few books from classic sci-fi, we could figure out helpful tropes that they've missed: Ender's Game Hyperion Dune 2001 Star Wars

The problem, I think, is that there are so many Sci fi tropes they've already done. Ender's Game has an alien race, done. Hyperion has gates (read:portals), done. Dune has Sandworms, done. 2001 has aggressive AI, done and dusted. Star Wars has the Force....

PS4 VR vs Flat [Discussion]

Hey Travelers and Interlopers!

I've been playing NMS, logging roughly 245 hours so far, and have enjoyed every minute. Been playing on normal mode mostly and only got to play along with my partner in multiplayer a few times. I'm curious how other players have found playing in VR versus Flat on their consoles, if you've ever made the switch? We recently purchased a new projector so I had to try flat mode with the standard PS4 controller to see how crisp the resolution was. Twas a bit ... much for me. 1st or 3rd person view took a bit of effort but the resolution was worth it at least.

New Player - Constant Stutters, very annoying! [Question]

I'm not too new to NMS, but it's been a year or two since I last played, my performance before was never an issue, however when I play now I get really smooth gameplay but every 5 seconds there's this random stutter? And it's gotten so annoying the game is just unplayable, at like critical times the game just hangs for 0.5-0.8 seconds and then it's back to 80 FPS for another 5-6 seconds and then the stutter happens again.

Is there any known fix that's recent? I've looked online but they're all old and don't seem to work anymore. Here's what I've tried:

  • Doing the fix on the TKGRAPHICSSETTINGS.MXML file

  • Updating graphic drivers to the latest

  • Set all Nvidia settings for the game to run at 'Performance'

​

I'm sure it's not my specs, but here it is anyways :

32 GB Ram

Nvidia RTX 2070 8GB

My First Derelict Freighter [Spoiler]

I looted my first derelict freighter yesterday and was pretty disappointed. It was incredibly eerie, and the whole time I was walking with my multitool out and ready, expecting unseen whispering eggs to hatch and jumpscare me at every corner, or some other terrifying alien to come running at me. Instead I just dealt with some dumb jellyfish and reskinned sentinels. The atmosphere was absolutely perfect for real danger. My imagination scared me more than the actual situation. The loot wasn't even that great and I didn't really understand what happened to the crew. One log said something about vykeen pirates and the next would show scan logs that made it seem like there was an impostor on board. The next described some kind of virus and near the end there was mention of rogue AI. So... all of the above happened? What an unlucky crew?

The Gunboat - a new Sentinel spaceship [Suggestion]

Just as the ground army has Drones, then Quads, then Walkers, so should the space force have Fighters, Gunboats, then the Carrier.

The Gunboat is the middle ground between the Fighter and the Carrier. It's got more health then a fighter as well as a regenerating shield, but is slower. When the shield is broken, it needs a short period to begin regenerating again, during which the Gunboat itself can be damaged and destroyed for some loot.

The Gunboat has two different weapons systems. First, pulse laser turrets. They shoot like Photon Cannons - just your regular turrets. The rear of the ship is a dead zone, no turrets cover it.

The second weapons system is a missile system. Every so often, the Gunboat will shoot a missile that first propels itself away from the launcher, then homing towards the target - like the Vertical Launcher System on AEGIS destroyers in real life. If the missile hits, it's fairly damaging, but the missile itself can be dodged and is only of moderate speed. The player can dodge it, outrun it, or even shoot it down.

This is meant to provide an addition challenge to the player, since Fighters alone are pretty much easy meat. They appear at Space Wanted Level 3, and every wave of Fighters that a Carrier launches also always includes one Gunboat.

Beginner’s Guide [Information]

Hey y’all, a friendly Traveler here

As we all know, No Man’s Sky is irredeemably unforgiving to new players. It’s very hard to get your, well, space legs as literally nothing explains itself in the game. Hence why I’m writing this.

Here are a few little tips I’ve conjured on my journey across the worlds.

  1. When you start out, follow the main quest line until you unlock the four base terminals. I know it’s hard to get sidetracked, as I spent my first 30 hours ignoring the main quest line, but if you follow it out you can save a lot of necessary salvaged data by getting the blueprints from the base overseers rather than purchasing them in the Anomaly like I had. This goes for farming materials, exocraft, storage containers, etc.

  2. When you get the chance to adopt a free freighter (around the 5th or so warp), don’t be picky. I recommend taking the first one you get, unless you’re a seasoned professional who’s set up a main base elsewhere. In my experience, the best thing to do is just snatch the first freighter you come across and start developing your freighter base. There is essentially limitless room for expansion, and having this as a resource is absolutely huge when you’re first getting started because you can create a completely portable refiner base, grow room, storage facility, etc.

  3. GET EVERY LAST BIT OF OXYGEN YOU CAN. I can’t even begin to stress this enough. Oxygen is integral to making money, as you can duplicate Ionized Cobalt and Chlorine in Medium or Large refiners. The hardest part about acquiring these resources necessary to crash the economy (I.e, sell 8+ stacks of chlorine or cobalt, which will cause the demand to plummet and you can purchase it all back for cheap and carry on your streak of economic terrorism) is getting the necessary oxygen to do it, so be prepared and begin stocking up from the second you awaken next to your...

Found a crashed ship at my starting location. [Question]

I'm fairly new to No Man's Sky, and have started the game a couple of times now in different game modes (just a few hours each). This time around I started a new game and was kicking off the tutorial as usual when I noticed there was a repairable crashed ship immediately next to my starting location (before I'd found my way to the usual starting ship). The crashed ship is a lot better than the standard starting ship, but obviously will be time-consuming to repair, whereas the default starting ship is in better condition off the bat. Is it worth the time and effort to repair this ship instead, and not bother with the Radiant Pillar? This one is certainly worth a lot more.

Expeditions to Normal Mode Save wiped after getting New PS4 Pro? [Bug]

So I had to get a new PS4 Pro as the one I got refurbished from that one store that sells premium refurbished consoles, wasn’t working properly. Was able to somehow get a refund (thank you store dude) and order another from PlayStation Direct.

My recertified PS4 Pro was still the same 7215B model but much quieter as is working much better.

Anyway. One the refurbished console I played No Man’s Sky on it. I loved expeditions and played it almost daily. Then expeditions 2 ended and I took a break.

As Frontiers is coming soon, I decided I should get back into the game. I was planning on starting a new save.

Well as I did all the system updates and installed my games, I also copied my saved data from the ps plus cloud to my console and launched the game.

No save files! I thought, well, I just do the tutorial and go the Nexus to get my rewards. Sure the expeditions rewards would still be there for those that participate and earned them.

So after a few hours I get to Space Anomaly and do the quest of taking to Nada, Polo and more. One e Im done with that I wander over to the Quicksilver Synthesis and click on collect expedition rewards.

Nothing is there from beachhead. It says I don’t own any rewards. Im like that doesn’t seem right. I mean while Didn’t complete expedition 1, I did get far enough to earn the Pioneers trophy flag. However I completed ALL of expeditions 2 beachhead, yet it says I do own any of the rewards.

I know that I saved expeditions to a normal and I know because on the old PS4 pro. Looking back though it was when the game for whatever reason keep asking if you wanted to convert the save to normal even after you already did so. It started affecting my other normal saves. However, even if I did delete the save, people have said they’ve claimed expedition rewards on new game save. Yet I am not able to do...

Possible gameplay implications of the Void. [Discussion]

With rumors of something called the Void which is mentioned in the lore through several sources, I started to think about what the Void could allow for in the realm of gameplay mechanics. It seams like many limitations of the game are in large part due to the each system being it's own world or level in the engine allowing for no loading screens when going from space to planet, to station. It is amazing but it probably makes something like frigate battles especially and multiplayer very difficult to achieve. It's also probably why we don't have proper racing or any other PvP. What the Void could allow is a environment that is less demanding on the engine and less difficult to design these mechanics for. So the Void could essentially be procedurally generated levels to facilitate those mechanics.

Yeah yeah some people hate the idea of PvP. Well you wouldn't have to do it.

Feature Request: Ingame portal sharing / base / profile extension ideas [Suggestion]

A request for a number of things related to sharing and displaying of portal addresses in game.

Little Black Book of Portal Addresses (LBBoPA): Give us a info page dedicated to portal addresses where we can manage and add portal addresses. A row based list of Portal Address, Portal Name/Desc, System, Player NoteFilter options of System Visited, Self Discovered, Fellow Traveler DiscoveredSimilar in nature to the visited system indexLink visited system index its LBBoPA entry.

Portal message buoys - like the message buoys, a player can leave a message containing a portal address, when viewed, an option to add to your LBBoPA.

When you visit a portal, add an option to record that portals address to your LBBoPA

I would like a wall sign I can place in my base, that shows a full portal address. I would like it to show the current systems portal address or be overridable. When overriding, I'd like it to be able to import from the LBBoPA or allow user manual input of an address.

In general, I'd like portal decals of the portal glyphs to decorate around my base.

Ambient Mode Soundtracks [Question]

For those that aren't aware NMS has (had?) a secret gamemode called Ambient Mode. This mode deployed a camera drone which went through various worlds and through space, providing a cinematic experience. This mode also played remixed versions of 65daysofstatic's album written for No Man's Sky.

I was wondering if anyone had found the remixed tracks and was willing to share them.

Update soeculation [Discussion]

Since the update is called Frontiers and the team said it adds a part of the sci fi they always wanted I wonder if it has to do with the races and true factions. Right now we are able to be friends with all the races and maybe we’ll need to manage our alliances more carefully. Maybe frontiers is a final frontier Star Trek reference to the political groups and factions of species as well as investigating other worlds life forms. It would be interesting if being friends with the vykeen have you better weapon tech but you can’t get certain science stuff. It would add more role playing to the game as well. Maybe you get attacked a lot going into other faction Star systems as well as bad trade deals. Just a thought.

A Quick Start Guide for No Man's Sky - my take [Information]

The first few minutes of your game may color the next couple hundred hours of your game play, so here's my take on a quick start guide to get you going.

Things you should do immediately after starting your game -

Repair your scanner - Attempt to scan and the game will prompt you to repair your scanner. Shoot some small rocks that say "Ferrite Dust" and apply it to your mutli tool ASAP.

Recharge your Hazard Protection - Scan and find some sodium "NA" plants/ "NA+" crystals. Get some extra if it's handy and pick it up as you go.

Turn off PVP - Now that you have a second to breathe, under your network options you will find PVP. Set that to "No One" or your own preference. It doesn't come up but under the most rare of circumstances but it can be game changing.

Gather Oxygen - As you're wandering to you ship and about, pick the red fruit/flowers. It's hard to have too much of this too.

Things to do in the first few days -

Most of this is covered other posts. But a quick list:

Just take the Frieghter - When you get your first (and free) Frieghter, there isn't a massive difference between a C class system frieghter and an S class Capital Ship. Either can quickly have 10 Storage built into them with 25 slots of storage each, so 250 storage slots; where as thier general inventory may be anywhere from 15 to 34 slots for a total of 265 to 284, meaning that in the long run, they're functionally the same.

Don't stress over money. Any of it - Credits may seem hard to come by when you're building your warp drive, but after a couple days you will be more concerned about space than cash. Relax. You can find hyperdrive parts just wandering around opening random boxes on the ground, or shoot the weird asteroids for platnium, complete a mission, or any number of other ways to get money. It's just the first small hurdle and once you're past it you won't...

Hard pills to swallow: Your over-generous charity is often not helping new players [Discussion]

In light of the most recent top post I feel like I should make a reminder about this. You are very likely not helping by giving new players tonnes of valuable items to sell, money IS a big part of personal progression in this game.

Think of how much you can and often do buy with money? Every gun, every ship every freighter, every fleet, every stack of fuel cells, every upgrade and the list goes much, much further. This is not a unique situation to No Mans Sky in the slightest, plenty of games have their own version of this.

I just came back from playing a game called Fatal Bullet where a good third of the remaining playerbase was near useless because they got carried to max level (often from 65 to 300) and even though they had max level gear they didn't know how to play the game. Because they became dependent on their carry, they became dependent on their money and did not learn anything about the game or its mechanics. So they got stomped on in all the content they should have been prepared for yet they were not, and consequently ruined everyone elses online experience including their own and then left the game soon after.

People in No Mans Sky will just get bored and never log on again. You made them rich, not everyone is driven by creativity or exploration alone, why would they need to learn anything when they can just buy their problems away?

I get a lot of you are just trying to help a bro or sis out, and I'm not saying to never donate. Just do so in moderation, give people little boosts to help them on their way like a couple warp cells, food pellets or even a small stack of resources if they ask for it even information is often extremely useful to new players without artificially shortening their experience. But whether you want to come to terms with it or not - making new players rich is going to taint their...

Is it just me, or does underwater exploration kinda suck? [Discussion]

I am hoping it's just me, but I am skeptical.

I've tried underwater exploration in various forms and I just keep walking away from it unhappy. There are just so many things that seem to be broken, and I can't help but feel like it's not a cohesive part of the game. In fact, it seems to have gotten worse with updates instead of better.

In the early days of the game, there was not much to do but swim around and mine things, only you had the added problem of draining your hazard protection faster. So now we've added exocraft and base building, but those are starting to feel like empty promises.

For one, on planets with hostile marine life, they have an annoying habit of being able to attack you through walls. This is clearly a bug, and it's top of the un-fun list. This happens on land, too (animals on the surface attacking you while you're below them in a cave, for instance) but it just seems worse when it's in your own base. I had a planet where I was trying to build a base and there were schools of fish that swam through building walls. They were harmless, but every time they "hit" me it knocked me out of my build camera, which made it impossible to do underwater building while underwater...

Mining now has the risk of spawning abyssal horrors, which probably was a great idea on paper, but kinda sucks in practice because of the next problem, which is...

...building a base takes a bunch of resources that you can only get underwater, many of which require mining. So see above. Crystal sulphide, at least, doesn't have that problem, but you need a lot of it to build anything, and it only comes in groups of three with long slogs between each set. Which makes base building in anything but creative mode an unpleasant slog.

The nautilon is supposed to help with all that, but the only exocraft that handles worse is the minotaur, but that is a...

Just started a new save (10 hours in) and was gifted a decent B class multi-tool from a very nice vy'keen who insisted i was well defended (GRAH!). Only problem is it has 14/23 slots with damaged components. I repaired a few and installed some modules used it for a min, swapped back to my starter tool, came back and the modules were gone and the damaged components were back. Curious if one of these damaged modules may have caused this, maybe i just forgot to save, or the game bugged out.

The damaged components are:

Damaged wiring x2

Corrupt module x4 (sus)

Loom damage x3

Rusted power core x3

Blown transistor x2

It seems like it's been this way a long time (at least since 2018) and it's only worth bothering crafting 50x fuels because otherwise the missions will waste fuel.

Can't build a Base apart from wood and very limited on other types. [Question]

Hopefully I can get a solution while I'm at work and fix it when I get home.

Right so, basically I can build wooden walls/floors and that's about it and my metal walls are limited to 5. I can build all portable tech apart from a save beacon that says 'Available to place: 0'.

In the other build menu's I can't build anything at all, I can do wiring but It won't let me put down a power source as it says the 'Available to build: 0'. However I can place down a safe I just can't power it.

Things that might help come to a solution.

Save was started 3 years ago, but I recently continued it about 3 days ago.

First time I played it after 3 years I saved at a save beacon (because my save was outdated and couldn't join them) then immediately joined friends online.

I'm trying to build in a very open place with the only structure being a fair distance away.

Base complexity is on Ultra.

Have all items needed to build it in Exo Suit.

It's not that I want anything amazing of a base. I just want to be able to power it, have storage and possibly a heal station.

I have just jumped back in after having not played in a couple of updates. I have a Salvaged Frigate Module and all the info tells me to use it at the research station on my Freighter. However, where I'm being told it is, it's now listed as the Upgrade Control. From what I can see, I can't use it in there. Has it moved? Any other help for this piece?

How to identify biomes? [Question]

Hello! Does anyone here know how to identify biomes by the description of the planet? I'm very new to this game (i've been playing for more or less a week) and this is something that I struggle with... I see that planets have small descriptions, such as "Paradise Planet" "Empty Planet" "Hot planet" etc... Some of these names are very self explanatory and more or less I understand what is this planet's biome, but there are others who I have no idea (to put an exemple: "Overgrown Planet". What does overgrown mean??) Is there a guide out there or something, to be able to identify them, or it's just a matter of experience? In any case, thank you so much for your time!

If this has been asked before I am also sorry, as I said, I I kinda new here...

Is there a way to get sentinels to leave you alone? [Question]

I know you can run from them, but every planet I land on, I end up next to sentinels, run out of gas, then get stuck in a loop where they attack me over and over. I can’t get too far from the ship because the planet I’m on is extremely hot then cold. Any suggestions?

Have a look at my 'Cathedral of Light' base [Screenshot]

Located in the Isdoraijung galaxy (#19, coordinates on the screenshots) lies the "Cathedral of Light', a base with 1.342 placed lightbulbs, 27 glitches, lots of glass and a couple hours of playtime on PS4. The sound within the cathedral changes, making it sound (kinda lol) like an organ.

Please let me know what you think, coordinates are +12.98, -73.49 :)

Is the game too easy? [Question]

So I have an activated indium farm set up on an A mining node. I generate around 15 million units per hour. Should I stop upgrading my farm to increase its limits or is the farm too overpowered? Is the farm ruining my experience due to me getting easy units? I haven’t really used much of my units currently and I am just wondering if it will ruin my experience by getting units so easily, and if I should maybe look for a more ‘legit’ way of earning units like mining the indium myself for example?

Discoveries reverted to default names (help explain) [Question]

I’ve been playing this game off and on for years and just recently decided to start again. I started a new game, was offline while playing until I discovered I needed to be online to receive quicksilver missions. So I connect my ps4 to the internet just long enough to get on,get my 1200 quicksilver mission completed,then I disconnected.

I went to my discovery list and noticed all the systems I had been to while offline were reverted back to their default names. Does this have to do with the discovery server not uploading my discoveries? I noticed the reverted systems still said that I was the one that found them while online so I don’t understand why the name was changed.

I’ve recently started playing the game again and decided to see if I can make a creature from that planet my companion, but when I enter the coordinates from my pic, it takes me to a completely new uncharted system. Am I doing something wrong or did an update mess with my discovered system at some point? Or are coordinates galaxy specific and I’m entering them in the wrong galaxy?

Discoveries are getting overwhelming [Discussion]

So, I just want to firstly say that, coming from a 2016 launch player, the game is astounding!

Here is one of my issues with the game though...

After updates drop, and picking up where I left off last, I'm starting to compile a huge list of discoveries (mainly planets and systems).

Since switching from PS4 to Xbox (when NMS launched on Xbox), because Xbox is my main Console I play on, I have continued to use the same save.

At first I used to log discoveries in a notebook, but after a while, it was just getting out of hand, especially trying to find certain planets (planets with good economies, planets with certain resources, and MAINLY planets that were EARTH-LIKE).

If you hunt for EARTH-LIKE Planets, you know what I'm talking about lol (especially ones with low-to-no sentinel activity)

Now, with all of these discoveries, especially the unnamed ones that I just passed through to get to other systems, I find it hard to go back through and locate systems I'm actually trying to find ?especially when it is an older discovery).

I hope Hello Games adds a feature that allows you to, either favorite certain systems, or delete ones you don't care about from your log.

I know this is a very minor issue, so if it's not a priority for them, I can understand that. It would mainly just be a quality of life thing.

I cant stress enough how much I love this game, and how far its come since 2016.

Thanks for reading 😀👍

What’s up guys, so basically me and a couple friends were looking for a game we could all start from the beginning, progress together, and kinda just have some fun exploring and building and making progress. I remembered that I played No Man’s Sky around 2018 and I really enjoyed it, but only played solo and didn’t play for a really long time before moving on to something else. From what I can tell though, there’s been a ton of updates since then and the game has improved a since then (and even then it had improved since launch). So my questions are:

Is No Man’s Sky a fun game for a group of friends to play and progress in from the start?

How much different is the game now than it was in 2018ish era?

I wish there were fewer asteroid clusters in space [Suggestion]

I don't know if this bothers anyone else, but the number of astroid fields and their density has a tendency to make space feel like a cluttered junk yard. I doubt this will be changed any time soon (or perhaps at all given that I haven't seen anyone else bring it up) but I would love to see two things happen.

  1. it would be nice if the total number of astroid fields were reduced by like 2/3.

  2. I would like to see more variety in the density of various astroid fields. Most of them feel like they're all roughly the same degree of cluttered together.

How about you interlopers? Any other travellers out there that would like to see this mixed up a bit?

Dynamic Hazard Protection Effects and Scaling [Suggestion]

Currently, the Hazard Protection module will always provide a fixed amount of environmental shielding regardless of outside temperature, toxicity, radiation, etc.

In order to make planet stats and information more meaningful, the Hazard Protection drain should scale in response to the effects faced. For example, a planet with a temperature of 50º Celsius will drain the HP slower than a planet with 100º weather.

This could also allow multiple effects to stack. A planet may have freezing temperatures and toxic rain, both effects will be displayed on the HUD and this will increase drain on the hazard protection.

I personally have found paradise worlds that drop to -13º at night, but still have no impact on hazard protection. This change to the Hazard Protection system can make NMS return more to its roots as a survival/exploration game, whilst making the long-untouched survival aspect more engaging and varied.

​

Tl;DR:

Hazard Protection should dynamically scale to current planetary hazards and statistics in order to make survival feel more varied and realistic.

Are they going to continue releasing updates/dlc? [Question]

New to the game as of last week. Got it on game pass and I just gotta say, what a unique concept for a game and very well executed. The core gameplay model is awesome, document ai generated planets/life forms, basically space minecraft, I was even surprised about how well they were able to make the sense of scale and distance work.

My only gripe is that I wish there was more stuff to do! For example the only planets I’ve come across are very sparse in sentient life if not having any at all, it’d be cool if there were new village/settlements added into the random generation. We have pulse energy type weapons in the game and I’ve only really had to fight the sentinel orbs, the dogs, and I got my ass kicked to the mech one time, it’d be nice to have more enemies to deal with but that might be controversial.

My main question is this: are they going to continue releasing more content? I’ve read that there is a big update dropping any time now but I haven’t read anything about the plan for after that drops. They’re going on 5 years now, are they going to continue for another 5? I hope so, the game is worth it IMO but I doubt the funds are real lucrative.

Refinery's Ate My Time, or; How This Stupid Bug Just Made The Last Few Hours of Gameplay Mostly Meaningless. [Bug]

I left my base for a few minutes. Not even that far away, and when I came back to my large refinery the 9000+ cobalt, and the 9000+ Oxygen I had refining Ionized Cobalt, (which is plentiful on one base and highly valuable on the space station near it) was gone. This isn't first time this is happened, and I'm not like rage quitting or anything but for real y'all. Fix this shit, please, thank you!

How to start upgrading? [Question]

This game is obviously overwhelming and I’ve done the basic stuff to get started, followed to intro YouTube tutorials and have been upgrading storage inventory when I can, but I’ve built up a good amount of credits (10m ish) and don’t know where to go from there. I’ve heard to buy a ship but frankly don’t know where to go from there. I’ve been back and forth from anomaly and have gotten solar power and battery to make my simple base run but seems I’m at a standstill with overwhelming options.

Ideas For Frontier Update [Discussion]

I'm gleaming with anticipation and until we get something official let's just dish out all our ideas. Interestingly enough I found a post !! about ideas for a NMS update 3 years ago and it happens to say "Final Frontier" and addresses a lot of common issues and things we still want/are thinking of today.

I definitely need more lore and things to do in space, the ability to have soldiers, claiming star systems, creating economies, raising self sustaining lifeforms on planets, building cities, new alien races, flying next to stars, Space Bars (like Boobies in Space Dandy lol anything)

lots of things that seem like they're missing given how vast and amazing the world is.

This game is too fucking good [Discussion]

When I was a kid and got my first tablet I thought; “Gawd a game where I could explore galaxies and travel between bunch of cool planets, build structures and have spaceships, also talk with the locals, that would be so cool!” I got nms in 2016 when it first launched. Huge dissapointment. I thought I finally found it but no it turned out for the worse. Relaunched the game a couple months ago, brilliant fucking game.

Plant farming is obsolete [Meta]

tl;dr- refining minerals into plants lets you scale out 10x

After spending a week or 2 setting up farming and extractor bases to make stasis devices on the largest scale possible, I have come to the conclusion that farming plants is obsolete.

I started with a few dozen planters in my freighter, which was nice, but slow to harvest. Then I learned about bio domes. Then double layered glitched bio domes. Then I made an infinite glitched biodome with everything I needed for stasis devices until hey stopped rendering (about 30 of each). The best thing ever! Or so I thought...

As I harvested about 400k of each mineral and gas each morning, I quickly realized that I was always way behind on plants, and could only make a couple dozen at a time. Unacceptable!! My inner Yerle the Turtle raged.

I looked up the possible refiner recipes, and discovered that 1 mineral = 1 plant. For example, 1 uranium + 1 gamma weed = 2 gamma weed. I made sure I had uranium, paraffinium, phosphorus, dioxide, and pyrite farms that I could gather 400k+ from. Then I set up a base with 5 refiners (2x large and 3x medium) in 6 different spots. 5 for plans, and 1 area for carbon/cobalt/gas conversion with oxygen.

Every morning, I can go harvest 400k+ of each gas and mineral across 5 bases hat I use the teleporer for, then throw all he minerals in the refiners, and build 150-200 stasis devices at a time. If I wanted to, I could hit the unit cap from 0u every day.

Glitched bio dome = about 4-10k of each plant, and I have to come back every few hours for more.

Mineral extractors + refining = 400k+ of each plant, but I have to spend an hour off and on harvesting and refilling the refiners every 12min.

Bonus tip: Position each of he ingredients in somewhat of a hierarchy in your cargo and build 9 at a time so they stay in the same spots. Make a buildx9 macro and re bind your build key so it wont switch...

Steam VR - Game has recently become unplayable [Question]

I've played about 20 hours of VR with hardly any issues but out of nowhere the game has become completely unplayable due to stuttering.

I've put all graphics options to the lowest setting and on an I7-8700k and an RTX 3080 I can't play the game at all (I probably get about 4-5 FPS).

The only thing thats changed recently is a Steam VR update but I'm pretty sure I still managed to play for a couple of hours without issues after the update.

One of the reasons I think it might be Steam related though is that when it's stuttering the No Man's Sky loading popup starts showing in the game (the pop up that says 'Waiting' when you first load the game).

Is anyone else having the same problem or does anyone have any advice? My Steam settings are fine too (I haven't increased the default resolution etc.).

Finding Cave Fauna [Discussion]

This is mainly to complain about the current state of Fauna finding. I was able to reliably develop good methods of finding most Fauna in 20 minutes of coming to a planet except for underground. Underground Fauna has no reason to be as difficult to find as it is.

First you have to find a good and proper cave this means a big cave that has no above ground biome in it this is difficult as caves can not be found from orbit like lakes or oceans can. Than you have to have the luck to find an animal and those are way way to rare compared to any other animals as the area inside caves are to limited meaning you can not run around for 20 minutes and often have to find a different cave. I often had to leave unfinished planets after two hours or more of trying to find cave fauna and not finding any which is infuriating.

There are good tips for aquatic, flying and ground fauna out there but not underground it is absurd and Hello Games should either increase spawn rate for just cave fauna, let us create bigger caves by digging out area or give us a way to increase the spawn rate, all of those are good but it can not stand that you can find 10 out of 11 fauna in 20 minutes but run around 2 hours for one cave fauna. I never had anything close to it with any other fauna.

Thoughts after 50+ hours [Discussion]

I love this game. Period. It’s the fourth time I try it after I bought it five years ago. The three times before I gave up after an hour or so. This time I forced myself into playing on and I passed the point of no return!

As I said, I love it. But this should be fixed: The loot camera movement on broken machinery and broken crates should be gone and just be similar to how looting the small red boxes work. Not to mention that you need to loot said stuff twice (and thus endure that camera swing yet again) to actually get all the loot! Is there a bigger and better solar panel? It should be. Paving should snap to prefabs.

I think that’s it.

It’s probably more, but I haven’t been this excited for a game since the hype before NMS!

Saves and me. And maybe you too. [Suggestion]

So here's the thing: Saves should be having names to them. Perhaps a short description.

I find myself forgetting what I was doing with this or that save. Was I doing a minimum run? Or was a doing a GET ALL THE THINGS POSSIBLE run? Was I trying to build the bestest base? Or is one permadeath a live lavishly, the other speed running over and over to the station?

Also, 10 saves please. Need moar. Too many playing ideas for me...

But for sure the naming thing. That would be EVER so helpful. Thanks, Hello Games, if you read this and happen to make it a thing.

NMS Glitch? [Bug]

https://imgur.com/gallery/pDlCeg6

Hello all! First time posting and a newer player, but had an interesting experience. Marked as spoiler because it was one of the main quests. I was doing the quest A Leap In The dark. Once I went through the portal that takes you to the planet in the photo the screen started shaking/turning white and I was like noooope and hopped in my ship, well it bugged the quest I believe. I was upside down in my ship at the Atlas, then got out of my ship and was back on the planet. I was able to freely explore, I gathered about 8 of the Light fissure, some copper, etc. I was able to build a base computer and a portal. The Atlas was still in space and I had the quest marker to go to it, I went into the local space station, then came out, next thing you know I'm on a desert looking planet separated from my ship. I did some googling and it seems like the game just skipped the Atlas portion. I fixed my ship, then teleported back to my portal and it was an ice planet now instead of fissures. Was wondering if anybody has experienced anything like this before? Also if the fissure planets are rare at all?

Crashing your ship via low flight almost impossible, unfortunately [Discussion]

In my opinion the damage each crash makes to the shield is way too low. Each full speed crash only takes about 5 % of your shield down, so it takes at least 20 full hits until only the shield is broken but no ship damage applied yet. But the shield regenerates pretty fast as well. So it's actually really hard to crash your ship fast enough to really break the shield and crash your ship.

In my opinion it's currently almost impossible to crash land your ship by accident, maybe in a heavy storm, which is a shame as it would add a little bit more danger and excitement when flying low.

Btw this is survival mode, using the starter ship with no additional shield upgrades installed.

What do you guys think? In my opinion damage should depend on your speed and at full speed no more than 2 full hit's should be necessary to break your shield.

My thoughts on Frontiers [Discussion]

Like many of you, I’ve been thinking about Frontiers ever since we got word of it. What could it be? When are we getting it? And, while I can’t answer the when, I have some pretty interesting ideas on the what. TLDR will be at the bottom.

So, Frontiers is going to be something that’s been missing from No Man’s Sky. But who’s to say it’s just gonna be one, big feature? This is the 5th anniversary, a milestone for the game that’s gone through a miraculous shift. I think this is going to be big, and here are my ideas: Occupations

No Man’s Sky is the game for a curious explorer. Countless planets in a procedurally generated galaxy. But… that’s kind of it. Exploration is the only thing that has any depth to it. And I feel like now is a good a time as any to open up some new frontiers to us. An actual purpose, for each and every one of us.

You can sortve farm animals now with the livestock unit, but imagine if you could make an entire, functional ranch.

You can mine, and while that’s profitable, that’s all there is to it. Imagine if you could build a massive mining operation with conveyor belts and everything.

Become a pirate, or a professional surveyor, a physicist, collector, a corporate trade lord; all with bases and tools to make it feel like you have a purpose in this game. Your purpose. Improved Generation

I feel like this is a candidate for every big update. More flora, fauna, and mineral parts. Looser rules for planetary generation. Better, more realistic and dynamic terrain. Rivers, gas giants, rare landforms. That MMO feel

We have three main sapient races, clearly trillions in numbers, and the most we ever see is some random house with a bed and a window. So, like many others, I feel like we could end up with cities. But not only that, cities where we can walk around and pick up quests isolated to that planet.

Secrets more along the lines of being able to refine mold or scrap metal into nanites. Or the fact that starship AI valves are only available for ships that are worth 50,000,000 or more.

Base terminals? [Question]

Do the armorer/plant/overseer etc npcs serve any actual purpose besides the quests and the blueprints you get whilst doing them? I haven’t finished them all but, I wanna know if it unlocks anything for doing them or if these are purely for show after the quests are finished.

I have a couple noob questions [Question]

I just saw this game on gamepass and figured I’d give it a try. I honestly know nothing about it. I’m about 2 hours in and just built my first wooden hut. I’m curious as to what kind of game this is, is there a main story mission with characters and npc’s?

Also I don’t really like the starting planet, it’s really ugly and it kind of looks like Mars, when will I find a nice looking planet? Should I find a space station or will a quest take me there? Is there very much combat in this game?

Sorry for all the noob questions and I appreciate your time.

Links on Companion Register [Suggestion]

It would be really cool and helpful to be able to look at your Companion Register, click on a specific pet, and then click on: Their species name to jump to the creature's entry in the discovery log. Their home planet name (which would need to be added to the register) to jump to the planet in your galaxy map so you can go there. Or set it as a destination/current quest.

These things would be cool so you could learn more about your pet if you got a random egg from somebody, and want to learn more about it. It would also be good to see what planet they're from so you can return to it if you've been there before. Maybe your companion can't lay any more eggs and you want another one to continue genetic experiments, and it's from a planet you've already visited.

Thoughts? I didn't see any other way to make suggestions to Hello Games.

Increasing Warp Range and Efficiency on Freighter [Question]

I have an A-class freighter and I need 5 warp cells to fully charge the hyperdrive and the range is only 183 ly. I have seen people online be able to fuel their hyperdrive with one fuel cell and have a range of 4000+ ly with S-Class freighters. Can you only get this range and efficiency with and S-Class freighter? And where can I find upgrades to increase the range and efficiency of the hyperdrive other than on the ship because I can’t seem to get enough salvaged frigate modules to get any hyperdrive upgrades.

It'd be nice if transferring saves from PS4 to PS5 worked both ways, for the sake of PSVR players [Venting]

I know it's not a huge deal as PSVR players are a minority among players, I primarily play it on PS5 and it was easy transferring my save from PS4, but I also have PSVR and because only the PS4 version is compatible with VR I can't continue my save from PS5. I know it's not an issue that many, if any, are speaking out about but it does stop me from playing in the most immersive way I'd like to. PSVR 2 is speculated to come out next year so of course this won't be a problem eventually, just kind of a bummer as it stands.

This community is so wholesome [Megathread]

I just re started playing this game (I have had it since launch on pc, just bought it on PS5) and I haven't played since a couple months after its release. The first time I went to the anomaly, a player was giving out to everyone a stack of itens that were worth over 9 million units. Like, I can't even remember his name, but he was out there helping new players.

So confused… [Question]

On PS4. I haven’t played since 2019. Most of the planets I named are gone. My base seems to be gone. No longer a waypoint to find it. My exosuit inventory is bursting with stuff like metal platings, a shit ton of ammo, and lots of Obsolete Technology.

I was just wanting to come back on and see my base again and all the work I put into it. But it’s all gone. I don’t get it.

Tried going onto the bridge of a frigate, but all of a sudden I’m spasming and die with a message that cosmic rays killed me or something like that. What?

Is there anyway to get my old base back or am I SOL?

I only started playing a couple weeks ago. Do people go this batshit every time there’s an update announced? Are the updates always major additions to the game or something?

Keep the HUD, disable pop-up tips [Suggestion]

This is the worst part of the HUD. I wish they would add a feature on console that allows us to pick and choose which HUD elements we want. I'm sick of the exocraft popups; I don't even have one, or want one, but it keeps telling me about some blueprint. I just want to play without all the hand holding and constant nagging about what I should be doing or where I should be going. Would also really help if I didn't have to have a mission selected at all times.

PSA Use your living ship for black holes and for the center [Tip]

When ever you are black hole bouncing or you go to change galaxies ALWAYS use your living ship. YOU WILL NOT HAVE ANY REPAIRS!! Black holes and such only break mechanical parts not organic. If you have a Nada figurine in your living ship it will break every time but no the organic ship parts. Hopefully this saves some people a lot of units and time.

No Man's Sky led me to play Star Citizen [Discussion]

I played No Man's Sky for quite a while, and had several hundred hours logged. I think it's an all around great game with an amazing community and some great developers behind it too. About a year ago, someone in this sub reddit suggested I try Star Citizen and I haven't been disappointed. If you're looking for more realism, ship interiors, and more of a combat focus, then Star Citizen might be the game for you. I'm not trying to say it's better, because be forewarned, it is in alpha development and is without a doubt it is not as polished as NMS. It's just different. I thought it was a good kind of different. There's a free fly event going on this week with Star Citizen, so now's the time to give it a try. If you do try, please use my referral code for some on game benefits: STAR-K264-7NLS Or if you think I'm just recruiting with my referral code, which I am, feel free to pop on over to the Star citizen subreddit and use the referral code randomizer and maybe see some screenshots and ask some questions over there. Again, I'm not trying to take anything at all from NMS, it's an amazing game, nor am I blindly advertising Star citizen. I just wanted to share another space simulator that I find fun too. Have fun out there!

Question on Quicksilver [Question]

Hey y’all. Just came back a few weeks ago for the first time since launch and LOVING it. Have a quick question on quicksilver.

Namely, is there any good or reliable way to farm it? I’m trying to get a living ship egg thing. I got lost in exploring a couple weeks, then building, and only just recently have gotten to the story missions and now I’m in the Anamoly thing and seeing the vendor and quests for the first time, haha. I had a few quests to get quicksilver at first, but they’ve stopped spawning now so I assume they’re time gated.

Anyway, if there is any farm, refinement conversion, or best-practice, I’d really appreciate any info! Thank you!

NMS Terrain (blue sky wish list ) [Discussion]

Right now terrain feels like snow painted rocks or, sand painted rocks, mud painted Rocks.

For a long time now I've been ogling the terrain simulations from other games and wishing they could somehow be implemented into NMS with envious eyes. I imagine processing cost is the major hurdle but I bet there could be some clever hacks for that.

Sand from JOURNEY

Snow from BLACK MYTH

Mud from MUDRUNNER

​

better terrain simulation would really give a lot more gameplay options as well.

eg. Imagine traversing blue sand whilst burrowing robots attack from underneath you. Or getting your mech stuck in acidic muck. Skiing down snow, or sinking into a snow drift.

VR controller mapping is broken and I am unable to fix it [Bug]

Since I bought the game I am unable to play it properly in VR. While I can move around and do the basic interactions it seems like many specific UI bindings are missing and I am unable to continue.

For example the UI shows me "Press (!Alert icon) to initiate landing" or "Highlight the chart and press (!Alert icon) to Plot a route". As far as I know this yellow alert icon indicates that the controller binding for this action is missing.

Unfortunately, there is no VR controller bindings in the game that can be adjusted so I don't know how I can fix this problem. I reinstalled the game already.

I am playing on Steam VR with the HP Reverb G2 + controllers.

Any help would be much appreciated so I can finally play this game.

Saving in multiplayer when building together (PS4) [Question]

My bf and I started building a small town together in the same session. Everything was going along great until my game froze. Unfortunately neither of us had saved in a while. I left the game and loaded back in to find that a significant amount of the progress that I'd made on a building was gone, unsurprisingly. However, my bf never left the area, and turned around to find that everything on his end suddenly regressed to my previous save state as well.

Now I'm scared to build if both of us aren't present– is the only way to avoid something like this having us both work on it and save at the same time? Are there other ways to make sure the base stays up to date for both of us?
