What you guys know about the scaling on ressources? [Discussion]

Hey guys! So i come across some really (in my opinion) rare situation.

What did you guys know about the possibility of getting MUCH more Ressources out of just 1 piece.

Like you can see i came across a Planet and just wanted to reload my mining Laser. So i just gathered 1 plant and was really shocked how i got like 200~ carbon out of only > 1 ! < plant. So this Screenshots were taken after just "Shooting" for around 5-6 seconds.

My question is, is there any information on that? Did that happen to you on other ressources, too?

Let me know!

Playing for some hours - every moon i encounter is already mapped by different persons - what´s the deal? [Discussion]

I guess this is kinda a rant because though i jump hundreds of ly left and right in search of a new home the amount that is discovered is mindblowing and is kinda depressing on my end. One year ago i very very barely saw another traveler or mapped planets/moons. It was a nice surprise. Now EVERY moon i see is mapped.

The other thing - what do those people want with moons? Guess the view? :D

#

Biological horror companion? [Question]

Saw someone with a pet biological horror earlier today. My first thought was, "woah I want one of those things! I wonder how?!?", so I tried seeing how it was possible.

However, I soon remembered it was probably a PC player that used a save editor to get one. I really wish they would add quicksilver pets, so folks on consoles could somehow get a biological horror, sentinel "dogs" or even one of those annoying derelict freighter creatures as pets.

All that being said, is it at all possible to get one on console? I know it's possible to "reskin" ships, could it work for pets too somehow?

Do Language translators stack? [Question]

I have both the B and A class language translator's installed right now and intend to get the S class. But I'm low on inventory space and I'm not actually sure if I can just get the A class and have the benefits of both or does it need to stack for that? Does anyone know please :)

Remembrance [Question]

Hey guys, so I had a quick question. I’ve been doing a series on my YouTube for No Mans Sky and I just reset the simulation in the latest episode. It gave me an item called “Remembrance” but I don’t know how to get one of the item to craft it. It’s called like Heart of The Sun or something. Does anyone know how I can acquire that?

#

Have I lost everything? [Question]

I've had to buy myself a new ps4. I've lost my saves however I've loaded up my psn and PlayStation account up. I know I won't get the milestone rewards but does anybody know if I will still be able to claim the normandy reward etc? Is this tied to my account or was it tied to a no man's sky save?

Play out of the box 2016 version PC [Question]

Hope this isn't an "ad nauseum" post (read the rules.. Yeah!). Is there a relativity easy way to revert NMS to 2016 version (without all the updates), as a relativity new player from just before expeditions, I'm curious how it originally looked /played. Not looking for a major project in modding but if renaming a few folders or such would do it without messing up my main install, I'd really like to try it out. This is PC version obviously.

Help finding S Class Alien Tool [Question]

Ok, I've found s class multitool rifle however when I reload the Alien tool was a class B and if I reload several times get three other multitools. Does this mean that the Alien tool will never be S class on that planet?

#

Star bug? [Question]

In some planets i notice that the star from the system doesnt do the regular vertical movement (east - west) across the sky but rather a horizontal movement.

Is it supposed to be that way?

#

My game keeps crashing, I'm on ps5, I can barely walk around a few steps much less get in my ship and takeoff without the game crashing, I tried building a teleporter to escape the planet but, CRASH. I just want to know if anyone else is experiencing this. [Discussion]

I am quite literally trapped, interacting with a few of the game menus causes a crash such as trying to swap between 1st and 3rd person. Taking off in my ship initiates a crash. I can't escape the loop lol.

Went afk next to Nexus [Question]

To play the poor man's game, hoping for some friendly players and I came back and I was on top of the wall above the ramp that goes towards the back of the anomaly. How did someone get me up there?

#

My top desires for future updates [Suggestion]

First off I love NMS and most especially the exploration aspects of the game. However, for me personally I find that over time I would really like more dynamic content such as:

Underground dungeons, enemies in caves, random loot, huge caverns etc. The caves in game are just so cool but I wish they had more dynamic content.

Base defense. We already have awesome base building tools, enemies by way of the sentinels, and varying difficulty levels depending on planet type and sentinel presence. I would LOVE to have these aspects put together somehow and make my base feel like it was for more than just screenshots.

Fleet vs fleet fights. We have this big epic fleet and frequently see others, but most of their BD energy is just for looks. Maybe my fleet could hold position over my base and defend it from raiders? Maybe the freighters could even crash down on the planet!

Love the game, just wishing we had more dynamic gameplay to flex our mechs, bases, and fleets.

#

Any tips for a new(ish) player to the game? [Question]

Hey everyone! I’ve recently started playing this game again after a 5 year break! Obviously a lot has changed in that time and I’m a bit lost. I’m about 6 hours into my current game and enjoying it quite a bit, but would appreciate any advice you guys could give me.

Thanks in advance!

Helping a fellow interloper [Question]

I have found some crashed ships and claimed them alongside my other functional ships . Now i want to find a s class ship but i dont have enough space to claim another ship . How do i delete the crashed ships ? (Also i dont know where to find the crashed site anymore)

#

Base Economy [Question]

Pretty much a newbie here, but I figured I'd ask you guys instead of searching through Google for a while.

How important is it for your home system to have a good economy?

I recently found two different planets that I think I'd like to put my main base on, but they are in different systems. One is a medium level economy, the other is booming. I prefer the planet with the lower economy, but if it is more important than I realize I'll settle on the other planet.

#

Exotic or fighter [Question]

Just recently came back to the game and noticed that I can upgrade my ship inventory. So now I have a max inventory exotic and a s class fighter. The question I have is which should I make my primary ship?

#

Freighter reload-farm, hundreds of tries and still no S class, am i doing something wrong? [Question]

I've recently learned about the reload-farm method for farming high class freighters, aka saving before the fifth jump and then go in the system that has the ship you like, fight pirates and check the ship.

I've looked on the coordinate sharing sub for a ship i liked in a 3 star economy korvax system and i found this: https://www.reddit.com/r/NMSCoordinateExchange/comments/bbtr92/08fe0081099e0091_euclidnormkorvaxflourishing/

That said what i did was:

I used the portal to get there then jumped to a near system to set up the jumps, since that jump triggered a fight i copied the portal glyphs for that system through photo mode, reloaded the save, portaled there, did some errand and saved in my small and ugly S class freighter (both manual and auto save).

I have been jumping to my target system for hours, averaging a clear time of 1:40 loading included (start from auto save, jump, fight, enter and scan with visor), i've done HUNDRED of tries, the best i got was an A class 34+9 slots, which while good is still not what i want.

I know the spawn rate for S class ships and freighters in a 3 star system is supposed to be 2% but i feel like i should have already got at least ONE in hours of farming.

Am i doing somethign wrrong without realizing or i'm just terribly unlucky and the Atlas wants to see me suffer for the eternity?

Galactic core(spoilers) [Spoiler]

Is there a way to know how close you are? I've googled but everything is 3yrs old. Still relevant? Are black holes still the best way even with the repairs? Just finished the Atlas path and created a new galaxy/universe so next on my list is getting to the core. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

#

Base trouble [Question]

So I'm building my orbital base, I'm past the clouds. Anyway I've only got one base below me and it shows that I'm now out of range of it but when I try to claim a new base at the top like 5 stairs above the limit on a platform it gives me a warning saying that I need a new site. Any idea what I should do?

Friendly Dueling Arenas? [Discussion]

Obviously I got my PVP off, because lol griefers. But I'm kinda getting bored becoming yet another bajillionaire and doing the same 3 or 4 missions in the Nexus over and over again. BUT, I don't wanna go full YO HO HO AND A BOTTLE OF SPACE RUM either. Thinking about making a sort of Thunderdome setup on a base, and just host one-on-one friendly PVP fights with cover spots and terrain and such.

  1. Has this been done already? (I'd like to think it has.)

  2. Do y'all think it would go well? (I have the feeling it won't/didn't.)

  3. Should I just continue INTERGALACTIC CAPITALISM?

#

What to expect? [Question]

So I just downloaded the game and played for about 20 minutes and was instantly overwhelmed by everything. Got to the point of repairing 2 things on the ship.

What should I expect out of this game and any tips would be appreciated. Thanks

#

A way not to put all your carbon into the biofuel reactor? [Question]

Mission for anomaly, 5 biofuel reactors to power up a base. Even if I create stacks, It will burn all my stacks. Even if I put the carbon in my ship, will burn both exo suit and ship ressources. Is there a way to actually finish the mission without farming carbon for hours in between each reactor?

#

Need help with egg sequencing for fun and profit [Question]

Hey there, somewhat new to the game and wanted to try my hand at the sequencer with the specific objective of shrinking offspring. Not worried about genetics, coloring or helpfulness for now. I have a 0.3m winged boar looking companion and when I found him as a baby he was so frigging tiny and cute, I just wanted to try and get the smallest possible offspring -- keep him scaled to baby size forever. So now I have tried nearly half the decrease attribute materials for the growth hormone slot, such as acid, argonium, albumen pearl, larval core, etc but none seem to decrease off spring size, even if I try to stack them through multiple rounds. In fact all the offspring have come out at 0.4m! Is there a lower limit to certain genuses? Am I not using the right materials or quantities? I can't seem to get the growth size indicator to change from "inherited" once the sequencing process completes. What am I missing? I did throw some argonium into the gene splitter and got a more feline vibe, so didn't know if that species/genus has some influence on materials or outcomes. Any ideas?

Want to get back into the game, is it worth it, need help! [Discussion]

Hey all! I’d love to start playing NMS I haven’t for a few years. I stopped after the first or second update as there was just so much and I couldn’t get fully invested. Anyone have any tips, or help, or can point me in the right direction :) thanks everyone! I appreciate it!

Freighter problems [Question]

I am at 0EDE:0085:07B4:018B and I can’t find any freighters nearby me on the freighter locations. I’m just trying to get a nice one and can’t find any near me. I have a jump distance of 249 and want to find a close one that’s hopefully an imperial and A class. Any help is welcome. I died to a stupid glitch after the first freighter and I’m just trying to find a good second one.

#

Frontiers update theory [Discussion]

Not sure if anyone has said it yet but space base the final frontier idk maybe

Example they add randomly generated asteroids. You can build on them they of course would be larger and possible have ores on them. So you could build mining facilities on them. Outside of planets and space stations space is relatively empty this would help fill the void don't mind the pun.

#

Where do I go? What do I do? [Question]

I've played NMS for a bit but I feel thst I've dabbled here and there in the game but really unsure of what I'm missing. Is there like a web map or something that shows all the directions you can go. Obviously I know you can go to a galactic core, but what can I do now that I have a fighter? Just send off fleets or is there other things? I need help.

Extremely frustrating vr problems [Bug]

Vr player here, I am aware that this game has poor optimization ,especially when it comes to vr. I've already followed the main guide on steam and that did help wonders, however, there is one problem I simply do not understand. This games fps is a complete dice roll whenever I launch it, sometimes I launch it and it runs smooth as butter, complete 90 fps bliss the whole way through, and then sometimes it launches and runs horribly. Terrible stuttering and low fps, and I notice that if I look at the passthrough on my mixed reality app it runs fine on there. This is incredibly frustrating and makes me play the game way less then I'd like to, and yes I know that some people will say just play on pc which would be a fair point but if you haven't experienced no man's sky in vr theres no way I can explain to you how disappointing it feels to play it 2d. If anyone has any clue to what is causing this any helps is welcome, I really hope this gets fixed in the future and optimization as a whole on vr is overhauled because there really is nothing like playing this game on a headset.

Bases with complex logic/switches? [Discussion]

I've fallen down the rabbit hole of the logic system in this game (thank you /u/nolindor for helping me get started!) - 300hrs in and I had no idea so much was possible. I'm finishing up a lockdown override (punch in a code to swap power source while keeping everything functioning the same way, flip a switch to shut down the main systems and hit a button to make the emergency lights come on/blink and lock down all the doors - just need to work out an alarm sound) for my base, and I would love to see what you've done for some inspiration. Especially if you have the wires visible so I can see how everything works. It's much easier for me to learn when I have a visual/context, even more so if I can flip a switch and follow exactly what it does.

Thanks!

I need help [Bug]

Hey I'm doing the Ghosts in the machine quest and I already used the computer and did the prompts but because I used my starship to destroy the doors it is still telling me to break the doors with the boltcaster. This is on a permadeath run with 6+ hours on it so far and I don't feel like starting again so I need to find a solution for this.

Living Ship - pros and cons? [Question]

Hello fellow Travellers, I have been playing NMS since 2018 and have S class for most of the things including freighter, suit, multiple small ships and of course the mighty Minotaur (btw that really needs a melee and a scanner ;-) ).

I've never bothered to look into Living Ship.

What are the pros and cons of owning one of these floating monstrosities for an experienced explorer?

#

つ ◕_◕ ༽� Capital ship battles and escort [Suggestion]

I always hear people asking for different features like travel-between-stars, new races, own a space station and even more exploration type stuff.

Am I the only person who thinks the main thing missing is proper capital ship battles? Even if they can't move, these things would make it way more fun to own one: frigates / ships that actually play an active combat role (ie can hit things, more easily summoned for support [the "{frigate} warping in" doesnt seem to help I find] ) take on pirate / corrupted sentinel fleets, ideally in missions orbital bombardment combat upgrades eg armor, shielding, etc [probably a whole separate update] boarding action / raids

Where to get exosuit defense ? [Question]

Hello, erm... I somehow dont know where my "exosuit shield" or so is. Like i know there is something in the multitool and my ship has one, but i found an upgrade specifically for my suit. Do I get this from a Quest ?

And i really mean shield not the heat protection etc

Bugs galore? [Bug]

Hi, I recently downloaded the game via Game Pass. Started a save on my PC but Microsoft Store optimization ruined that, so I moved over to my Xbox. So the issues I had on a four hour save game were as follows: After refining mould into nanite clusters, and putting the clusters in my inventory, there just disappeared. Did this again with carbon to condensed carbon and nowhere to be found Base computer and portal render within a 6-10 foot span every time I come back to my base. I set up on a landing pad at a trading outpost so maybe the structure is causing problems. Ok, move my computer, rebuild my base. When I placed my storage container, it populates five feet in front and tilted from where I actually set it.

So my question is, is this because of the cross-platform save or does this game just act like this? I really want to like it but out of the 8 or so hours I’ve put in, I’ve found myself constantly catching bugs and QOL issues. Any advice? Does it run significantly better on Steam? Game Pass is pretty bad with optimization but those aren’t optimization issues.

Thanks in advance

Frequent crashes [Discussion]

I've seen this topic pop up a few times in this reddit, but at this point I can't even load into my save now. I've been sitting here for 20 minutes now as it's loading from my save and this has been happening for the past two days. I have 73 hours on the game and now it's not letting me in. Is it because of the system I last logged off in?

Black holes vs freighter jumps [Question]

Is there really a good reason to use black holes once you have added hyperdrive upgrades to your freighter? I have not quite maxed out mine yet, but my range is already pushing 4000ly. In spite of its fussy controls, I feel like I can just aim for the center of the galaxy on the map and make straight line jumps that will take me farther much faster than hunting black holes and flying through them. And nothing breaks in a freighter jump. :P

So is there a reason to use a black hole at this point?

Combat and its place in No Man's Sky [Discussion]

So, after having hung around the No Man's Sky Discord for a while, I noticed that a solid chunk of the community is somewhat opposed to the idea of combat in No Man's Sky. It's a valid viewpoint - not one that I agree with though, but valid nonetheless.

I want to ask you guys about the place of fighting and combat in No Man's Sky. Does it belong in this game, or not? If so, then what is your ideal form of combat in No Man's Sky?

Personally, I believe that combat should be included in the game, and that the existing systems should be improved and expanded upon. However, it should also be optional - if there's a war going on, you have the choice of flying under the radar, or wading in. Either way is acceptable. And of course, the Sentinels - evade, or fight?

The choice should be yours, but No Man's Sky had a duty to force you onto a path that is fun - whether it is pacifistic, of self-defence, or of active fighting for who you believe to be the most right... or the most profitable. Whichever path you pick should be fun.

This goes for both ground combat and space combat alike. Both need improving, and both should be fun.

I don't believe that there should be microtransactions and such in the game - you already paid a lump sum for the game, why should you charge more? Nor should combat be "mindless shooting" - unless it's deliberate, that's a mark of a bad game. In fact, what it is now is what I believe to be "mindless shooting" - Personal Forcefield to block attacks, and Boltcaster until dead.

So, what do you think? What is the place of combat in No Man's Sly, in your view?

#

Abandoned ship quality [Question]

I usually spend my nav data on distress signal charts from space stations with the aim to find abandoned ships which I can claim and then scrap at the space station for units and for storage augmentations and ship upgrades for my main ship.

Does anyone know if going to a three star economy system will lead to finding higher class and more valuable abandoned ships, or is their quality always random?

#

Procedurally Generated Buildings [Discussion]

I played NMS for about 100 hours a year ago and recently started replaying it. One thing that astounds me is that I can find no discussion online about procedurally generated buildings/facilities, etc. I assume that I am searching it wrong, because I just can't believe that nobody would care that every single crashed freighter is exactly the same; every single observatory, supply depot, etc. Setting aside that still there's only 3 races they have so many galaxies and so many planets and everything looks the same, I just don't get it...

#

Space thievery [Discussion]

Didn't know it was a thing until someone decided they needed my mold more than I did and I'm just barely starting out. Oh well, $150k down the drain. No big deal but still surprised thievery is allowed in this game.

Makes playing multiplayer seem not worth it. Poor players

#

Am I playing this game wrong? (by making money very easily) [Discussion]

Hi everyone! I've been playing No Man's sky for about 60 hours. And ever since I got my first medium refiner, I was able to make enormous amounts of units. With 3 medium and 2 large refiners, I made 100 million units in about half an hour just by refining chlorine. This feels like cheating to me yet it's a known, common feature. Here's the thing: Now I don't have motivation to do anything. I don't know why should I get into farming for example. I already have a very easy method for making money.

I guess I'm missing something. Do you see a reason to set up farms, send your crew to expeditions using your freighter, raid sentinel depots etc. if you can easily make money like I do? Is there something else to these things, maybe some things that money can't buy? I can't buy silicate powder for example, I have to dig it up. I guess being able to make huge amounts of money this easily made me lost my interest in doing anything really. I hope I'm wrong. Because I can't see how people can spend hundreds of hours in this game otherwise.

Oh, and one other thing: Was being able to make money this easily an intended feature?

Sean Murray on his game design journey - PlayStation access 2019 [Information]

"Next was really big.... And at the time we kinda thought this is probably our last big big idea for the game and we'll probably do smaller updates which was no bad thing, we thought that would actually keep the community happier in some ways. We were working on 3 separate updates that we were gonna release separately. Each of the 3 of them started getting bigger and bigger.

The people working on them got excited and dragged in more ideas and stuff. Those teams started interleaving those features, making those things work together and were showing me "Look how cool this is, if you put this and this together!". I could just see it I was like "here we go again, we're making a big update" You could just see the impact that it could have and how interesting it could be." ~ Sean Murray.

Am I wrong about this? [Discussion]

I'm playing nms for awhile now and I just feel that is something wrong with it, some things just don't make any sence There is no real feeling of achievement ment in the game. For example, there is no real reason to build a base you don't unlock thing you can only unlock by building a base. I came across containers where you need an atlas pass I order to open them. I thought wel it must contain something special if you need a special pass to open them and there are 3 lv's of those passes. I could wait to find out so I started the atlas story, cause I thought that would be the reward from that story. But wait there's a new station In the space anomaly and you can buy them, so no need to do the story. I finaly could find out what's in those containers. What a disappointment, just the same like in any other container. Then you have the Main selling point of the game, Exploration. Or rather the lack of it. What the point of exploring a planet if they show you where everything is. You set foot on a planet you've never been before and open the scanner where you can see everything. You see the main components of everything without even the need of scanning them. It would be beter that you need to find shit and once you found and scanned it, you scanner recognizes the frequency and then you know where it is on that planet. You don't even need to search for POI, just buy the locations in a space station. There's no need for exploring if they show you where everything is. Even finding all the way points on a planet gives you nothing. Learning a language of a race gives you nothing, the races themself all sell the same thing. They have there traits like Korvax are the explorers, but they sell every upgrade like the rest of them do. Why not let them just sell thing that have to do with explore like hazard protection and engine upgrades. Yes nms has become better in the years with a lot of new eye candy...

Expedition Question [Question]

I completed the first expedition back in May 2021 but did not participate to the second.

I deleted my save game for the expedition (I play PD and find normal game boring).

Now that I have mostly complete all I wanted to complete in PD I would like to do the second expedition but it seems I cannot start any new expedition.

Anyone knows why? I suspect it’s because expedition are time limited but would like a confirmation since I failed to find any relevant information about this.

Thanks

I can't find the free PS5 Patch for my PS4 Beyond Disc [Question]

I recently got my hands on a PS5 and want to upgrade my PS4 Beyond disc version of the game to the PS5 version to enjoy the new features and faster loading times. When I check the playstation store however, it shows the option to buy NMS again instead of a free upgrade. When I check for updates on the game in the PS5 home screen it says my game is up to date.

My No Man's Sky wish list [Discussion]

So its been over 1000 hours now, and with the new update comes a new chance for wishes to be fulfilled

Here are mine, would love to see others in the comments. They are not based on what i think will come, but what I personally wish I would see:

change ship colors, especially to black - my number 1 wish

more building items. not decorative, but actual building pieces like parts of the colossal archives

ability to have a 2nd person in your spaceship

biome variety on planets

ability to reduce sentinels on a planet or protect a location you are building at

ability to add npcs to a settlement

ability to leave a message on a message board you can build, for other players when they visit your base

any dream items you hope to see?

Will we ever be able to continue our ps5 saves in VR? [Bug]

Been playing no mans sky quite a bit the past couple days. I built my favorite base i’ve ever built yesterday and felt like checking it out in VR, only to find out that my progress has not saved in the ps4 version (which you have to use to play VR) since i started playing on ps5. I’m missing about 55 hours of progress on my ps4 version dating back to November 2020, the last time I played NMS on ps4.

I tried looking it up and I found a few really old threads that basically said that they hope there’s a fix for this soon. Has there been a fix? Anyone able to get around this problem?

Is there a difference between different tier 3 systems? [Question]

After traveling to alot of tier 3 systems, i noticed that some are Booming, others are High Supply and others are Advanced, Wealthy, Prosperous and so on... To my experience, a booming system has wave after wave of ships coming in and out on the space station and in a higher frequency than other systems. Although this is my experience, i could be wrong ofcourse ;)

But the real question is: is there an actual difference between these classifications?

I absolutely love everything about this game. And i play single player due to no internet. But the only thing that really turns me off is the absolute grind. Dont get me wrong, i like having to grind for stuff. But i always found it almost impossible to get alot of money or nanites so i could progress really far. Like im not sure what i could do to make things easier in terms of that.

I warped into my own freighter and couldn't get out [Bug]

The view from inside my freighter

I warped to another system, then warped back to the previous system where my freighter was...and I ended up warping inside of it. Right when a freighter battle sequence began. I was literally trapped inside my freighter as the battle raged around me. Picture shown above.

Since it was a battle I couldn't warp out. Alas, I never got around to installing the emergency warp unit because...well...it takes up a slot and I have literally never needed it until this moment. So I had to reload my last autosave and try again. This time, the game was kind enough to put me in unoccupied space.

How About We Support Sean and the Team and Not Harass Them [Discussion]

I would love it if we could all think back a few years, when Hello Games employees were getting death threats for not releasing a game quickly enough. And then everyone was so disappointed because this massive, wonderful, colourful, and just plain NEAT concept and game when released, wasn’t enough for us. Millions of stars, planets and creatures were not enough. So more people harassed, and bitched, and threatened, and a company got sued, and at least one person, someone we all claim to support and appreciate, disappeared for a long time, probably had a bit of a mental breakdown, and is miraculously back and working hard to give us something we all want and claim to love and here we are again, bitching, moaning and complaining about something we are getting FOR FREE.

Can we all for a moment say thank you Hello Games, and Sean Murray, for continuing to strive and work to give us something that, looking around at the amount of complaining that we’re doing, we don’t really seem to deserve right now.

Thank you Sean Murray and team! For all the hard work, and for creating, making, and realizing a game that is truly a beautiful piece of art with a ton of wonderful world building and lore. Thank you so much! <3

Hey y'all Dumb Question [Question]

(I'm fairly new) So basically i landed on a planet and started exploring and i found a broken ship, i was far away from my old one. I got in and claimed it but it can't take off or anything. I tried to summon my other ship but it's out of launch fuel so i can't, and it's not marked on my map anymore so i can't find it, so i'm stuck. Does anyone know how i can change my primary ship?

NMS and Gamescom [Discussion]

Xbox's social media seems to be focusing way too much on NMS the last few days. I can be tripping but I think that Microsoft has something special to tell us.

Sony butchered NMS's production and dropped the ship when it was sinking. The devs resurfaced with this awesome game we have now, then Microsoft's Gamepass was a game changer for it and I genuinely think that the company could invest in it a little more.

Can you imagine Hello Games being part of the Microsoft Studios and Frontiers being part of this merge? Oh, boy :3

NMS crashes on a certain fungal moon. I've had no crashes on other planets, any recommendations? [Bug]

I was wondering if anyone encountered this problem? I've been dealt with a missing person mission on a fungal moon, with plants representing large flowers, that have those little blooming effect above them, as if they're releasing a trail of spores...

Now, I wonder if that has anything to do with it, but I keep crashing on this planet, and I've never crashed anywhere else in the NMS universe, so far.

I've lowered the blooming effect graphics part, I think? Yet the crashes keep happening.

Does anyone else know what I'm talking about and is there a fix? It's a very pretty looking planet, I'd like to explore it a bit without crashing...

Things I dont get about NMS [Discussion]

So I've played on and off since the games release, and I do enjoy the game. But there are things I just dont understand.

The game has such a vast number of planets, all made through procedural generation. So why is the same thing not used for buildings, ships aliens etc? Why are there no towns and only isolated outposts? Why are the fights against sentinels and the egg monsters essentially unending until you flee?

Why cant we fly the freighters 😬. Wouldnt it be awesome for pirates to try and raid of freighters from time to time and we would have to fight them off? Perhaps be able to control some turrets on the ship. Maybe have a couple friends. Make a nexus quest where u have to transport some goods and hold of pirates from your freighter.

Maybe they could add an area to the anomoly for arena style pvp. Level the playing field for people who enter. Give them the same movement and multi-tool capabilities and let them fight in a procedurally generated arena

Again i do appreciate the game and the work thats been put in to it, but I feel like some relatively basuc additions like these would make it so much better. Perhaps I just dont grasp how difficult they would be to implement. Idk

How does power work [Question]

Can someone thoroughly explain how power works?

Am I just stupid or what please help..

Guys, Frontiers just may not be perfect yet. [Discussion]

If this update is symbolic of the 5 year anniversary and the progress the game has made since then, I think we all know more-or-less that Sean would put out an incomplete release over his cold, dead body.

Not again. Never again.

Especially given the symbolic nature of this update, turning the ship around big time, just keeping quiet and working until the update is ready for release would, I think, be the main takeaway from 2016.

It's the most simple answer. Just has no intention of rushing out something that is not done.

I opened the galaxy map, I cannot set a waypoint for some reason, it just does not work.

I've been flying towards the closest sun, and still I find nothing, I lost my base, I lost my planet.

NMS and cheap Chinese crap: I think I just connected the dots, guys. [Meta]

You can share a specific system/planet with portal glyphs, correct? Is there any way to share a specific location on a planet? [Question]

I found a spot on a lush planet in Euclid without aggressive sentinels, on the ocean's edge with a pretty cool sea cavern system below a very flat island, with 11 runaway mould deposits nearby, a B-rated electromagnetic point, a B rated paraffinium deposit (at least) and two B class nitrogen clouds within range. It seemed like the sort of spot people might like to play around and build a base at, but i have no idea how i'd go about sharing a location like that so that other people can find it easily.

"foe of" is censored, can't figure out why. [Bug]

So I had this frigate named:

MV foe of the Jinown (or something like that)

I like to rename them for the stats, as they are all support frigates and how much fuel/duration and their own weight is important (to have faster missions, as well as ones that use no fuel.)

So I go to name it:

MV foe of Jinown-2d-24f-2t (minus 2 duration, -24 fuel used, weighs 2 tons itself)

which produces


So I try again, the same. I finally figure out it is CENSORING it! So, by process of elimination, what it is objecting to was "foe of."

In several Internet searches, I can't find any slang or anything dirty about "foe of" or even "foeof."

Crashing in VR [Bug]

Hey.

I get an error when if I try opening steam VR dashboard or try renaming planet or basically do anything that requires any input from steamVR dashboard or its keyboard the game just freezes. Headset screen turns blue and is frozen. But I can still hear sounds from game.

When I take off headset the game runs on my flatscreen normally but steamVR is saying that error (-203) happened and needs to be restarted. Any idea how to fix this ? I tried everything I could find on the internet (updates, betas, 3experimental, moving it to system drive etc. etc.). But nothing helped. Yesterday when I was trying different solutions it suddenly did not crash once and I was happy that it was solved, but today it crashed again when I tried to rename my base immediately after starting the game.

Any help would be nice.

Haven't played in forever, what's the current state of multiplayer base building? [Question]

My buddy and I used to play online together in VR and had a good amount of fun but one thing that always bugged us is that when we played you couldn't both own a base together so if the 'owner' of a base was not online, the second player couldn't jump on and work on the base by himself.

We're thinking about playing this again but are curious: is this still the case, or can you properly co-own a base together to the point where you can build individually? We're 6 time zones apart so there were plenty of situations where only one of us would be able to play and we'd want to do this but couldn't really.

Got force teleported into a death trap [Question]

Hi guys first time posting and fairly new player to the game, only 50 hours or so. Just got an exterminate monstrosities mission from the nexus that I joined a few other guys to do, all was going well until we were all suddenly teleported into this room with extreme heat which killed me in a matter of seconds. All that came up was “move the ball into the hole to open the door” which I could never do due to dying so quickly. Either way I lost all my stuff which isn’t that big a deal since it was just some base building supplies and some cool glitches I found. I’m more interested in finding out if this has happened to anyone else, or if there is a way to stop this happening/get my items back.

Performance issues on PC [Bug]

So I recently got the game and am having a bit of issues. My pc specs are i7 9700k, gtx 970, 16gb 3200mhz ram and the game is downloaded on a nvme ssd. The first issue is that I alt tab into chrome for example and alt tab back into the game and my frames are cut in half even though my gpu is still 100% utilized and clocks haven't dropped. I have to restart the game for it to be fixed. I play at 1440p and I just feel the game looks off. idk it seems like it should look better. Also the diamond icon when I gather recourses looks very pixelated and low res around the clear text. Little things like that make it seem off.

My graphics settings are: textures: enhanced animation quality: ultra Shadow quality: high reflections: high volumetric effects: high terrain tessellation: high planet quality: ultra base complexity ultra. AA is off and anistrophic filtering is 16.

Is the game supposed to look like this? The render distance seems so bad.

PS4 Controller Twitching? [Question]

I just got the game for the PS4 and for some reason when at rest or after having just stopped moving, my character or the cursor will just kind of twitch forward/upward.

It's as if I'm lightly pressing on the left analog stick once or twice. It isn't my controller, because this does not happen in other games/in the PS4 menu. I tried finding a controller calibration thing in the NMS menu but there isn't one I can find.

Is this a common bug? Have other people and this problem, and if so, how do I fix it? It's pretty frustrating when I go to place something in my ship and the cursor twitches up to exosuit at the last second, or my traveller quickly steps abut 3 feet away from the plant im trying to harvest.

Why do species go extinct? [Discussion]

It's literally my only gripe with the game. I found a beautiful planet six months ago. I just recently came back to the game and the mobs are all different.

I honestly don't think I'm going to play now. Maybe frontiers will bring me back, if it's good. I can't possibly be the only person this bothers...

There's 18 quintillion planets. It's not like they can argue there isn't enough variety.

Is there anywhere black holes are most likely to be? [Question]

I play in creative because I like exploring and building without limits, and recently I've really been wanting to get to the Galactic Core to see what it's like. I already know what happens when you get there, I just wanna experience it myself

And as everyone probably knows already, black holes are a lot harder to find in creative since they aren't marked on the Galaxy Map. Which I'm ok with, if they were, it'd make it way too easy to get to the core in creative

But I guess my question is: are there any circumstances that make it more likely for a black hole to be in a certain system or is it entirely random?

What I mean is, I've found two black holes in my time playing this game (both in creative). The first one I stumbled upon by accident, and the second one I found with an Anomaly Detector. I'm pretty sure both of the systems I found them in had that purple hue to them and had very few planets. Coincidence? Possibly. But the purple lighting does seem pretty black hole-y

Are things like these signs of a black hole? Are black holes more likely to be in systems like this? Or again, is it completely random where they spawn?

Noob here, so I saw a post of a cool freighter I want... so in order to "warp" to the glyphs, do I just go there first using a portal then leave and time up my 5th jump back to it?

And then, will the same freighter show up every time? Or will they change? Or will it be the same one but different classes?

Thanks! xD

I’m Honestly Not Sure If We’ll Be Getting Any Frontiers Update News At Gamescom’s Indie Event Tomorrow, So I’d Suggest Keeping Your Expectations In Check 😐 [Discussion]

Today was the first day of Gamescom and there wasn’t any news about No Man’s Sky whatsoever, Sean hasn’t said anything on his Twitter other than posting another picture, and I don’t think tomorrow we’re going to be getting any news regarding the update either. Maybe there’s an issue and they’re still working on bugs with the update or something, but Sean and the team have been pretty moot about it. I’d highly suggest keeping your expectations in place tomorrow because there’s a good chance we won’t be getting any news.

Possibly 2 to 3 more years of nms updates for the game. [Discussion]

So people probably wonder how many updates will nms get before they call it a day.

I'm thinking maybe 2 to 3 years based on what HG are currently working on.

They have a team of around 23 people split into 2 teams. One half is making nms updates. The the other half is making their new unannounced game that they say is very ambitious.

They have been working on this new game for a couple of years now. And with such a small team of around 12 or so people your thinking it's going to take them about 4 to 5 years to develop it. So that the game is released in a better state than nms was in 2016.

When this new game releases you would expect them to start working on another new game while supporting the new game for a couple of years afterwards .

I feel HG could add enough content to nms in that time to say it feels complete.

But what are your thoughts on the subject?

Do you feel nms only has a couple more years worth of updates. Or do you think that HG will try and keep supporting nms as long as it still has a loyal following for the game.

Can't complete the main story mission... [Bug]

So I'm nearing the end of the mainline mission where I have to find the center of the galaxy and go find a gate (or layline its not too clear) and the mission objective is inside a mountain you cant burrow in so I can't actually get to it, and as its the main mission i can't 'restart' the mission to get it to spawn some where else, so now what?

Greifer using a volcano base [Information]

Hello everyone, have you been affected by someone who is killing players by teleporting them into a extreme heat environment? Or are you curious about who and what they are doing? hopefully this message can help everyone stay away from a specific person who is teleporting players to a base located in a volcano which then of course kills them. Bellow is information that I have gathered from players who go have experienced this and from what I have experienced when meeting this player.

The Players PSN name is Mjglloollqool if this person adds you in the anomaly or during a nexus mission, mainly kill (number) of monstrosity’s, DO NOT join them.

(By me putting their PSN on the post I do not encourage you to seek out the player and cause any harm)

How do they do this? The player is able to teleport you to their base after you join their group, follow them to their system, once you enter a building prompted by the monstrosity’s mission you will be teleported to a base located in a volcano base which you will then die from heat damage.

How can you prevent yourself from encountering this? Of course please be careful when joining people you don’t know as they could always have malicious intent, while this community is amazing there are a few bad eggs. To prevent any long term effect from this troll make sure you make a manual save before ever joining someone on multiplayer this is so you have a backup in case you die.

Hopefully this will help those who see it be more careful when someone adds them in the anomaly, as for the player in question do not join them simply ignore and leave.

If you do have any info more on this troll it would be greatly appreciated, safe travels everyone.

First freighter question [Question]

Hi all, I just started a new playthrough after a long break.

As far as I remember you can get your first freighter for free by helping a freighter in need when attacked by pirates.

Now to my question:

If I decline the offer of the captain (if it's a low class freighter or just doesn't look that pretty) - will there be another offer? Or is this event a one time thing, so I better take it? How often can this occur, until you have to take it, if you want to get the free freighter?

Thank you!

So, I don't have a lot of experience in building things, or powering things. [Discussion]

So......I'm building a fortress out of concrete. How do I power it without having wires everywhere? I know how to power things, obviously, but how do I power the stuff inside a concrete buildings?

Building advice needed - Supply depots [Discussion]

Hey there,

so my AI mine is taking shape and i got a few rows of supply depots connected to my extractors. Each depot in each row is connected to its neighbor in the row, but the rows are not connected to prevent diminishing returns.

Now, it can get quite "laborious" (its a luxury problem, i know) going from row to row collecting all the AI.

So my idea was that i would create something to connect all the depots together for a short amount of time to collect everything at once.

My first try was to set up an extra extractor besides the rows and connect all the supply depots together over that extractor. My thought was that if its not powered, the connected supply pipes dont work and when everything was full, i switch on the extractor, collect everything at once and switch the extractor back off, so each row gets full yield again.

But that idea is flawed in the way that supply pipes dont care if the extractor is powered or now, they still connect everything together, making the yield of the farm going from 32k AI per hour down to 3k or something.

So, is there a way i can make this work? I just want to switch something on that connects all the depots together and when im done collecting, i switch it off and they go back to being independent networks again.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance and safe travels!

Do random black holes change positions? [Question]

So, yesterday, I warped to my first red system, basically for the Artemis mission.

I've noticed that you usually warp pretty close to a space station whenever you warp to a new system. I could have just popped by for a quick visit but I decided to just bum rush it to the planet that had cadmium and low sentinel activity. While having Pulse Drive engaged, I got a signal alert saying an anomaly was detected. I disengaged pulse drive to see that there was a black hole (I think I saw the word relic, not sure) but there was definitely a black hole.

Now, I wasn't sure if I could warp back to this system through a teleporter if I have not stopped at any of the planets or space station and saved my game. So, I figured okay, I'll just pop by the space station real quick and then try to follow the same path I took from the space station to this planet, so that I can find the black hole again.

But, it's been nearly an hour of orbiting around the planet and I can't find it again. I even added Black Hole to the system's name (poor nomenclature, I know). But I can't find the black hole anymore. Do they change positions or have I grossly misjudged the trajectory I took to find it in the first place and so I may simply be looking in the wrong place?

Is there a way to detect a black hole in the local system?

Poor performance with no real CPU/GPU load? [Question]

I'm running NMS on a MX150 and i7-8550u. To be fair: it's not very powerful.

But the game is not loading up CPU or GPU. When i track the usage it's very low (<10%) on the GPU and low on CPU (~30%). I'm getting 15-25 FPS with that. (Res: 1504x1000, Scaling 100%, rest on lowest possible).

Why are my FPS so low when the usage of CPU/GPU is not limiting? What can i do to improve my fps?

VR - full VRAM usage (9.5/10gb), 30% cpu, 55% gpu... am I bottlenecked by my VRAM? Shouldn't I be able to do more with a 3080? [Question]

11700k RTX3080 32gb 3200 mhz ram SSD

My settings are pretty low considering my card. Texture quality on ultra, planet quality on high (ultra destroys the framerates, constant 36fps projection), rest on standard/enhanced. DLSS performance is on.

Yet I can barely run 72fps smoothly. My cpu isn't being used to its max. Temp is steadily 70 degrees. GPU isn't being used to the max. About 35% goes to oculus encoding, and about 20% to 3d. It should be noted that it never, ever goes above this, in any game. Is it throttling at 70? Its an 11700k.

I've heard of 3080s running ultra on all settings with quality DLSS and getting way better performance than I am... even at my settings, quality DLSS kills my performance.

Is weather still unsynced between players in multiplayer? [Question]

Some discord buddies and I tried playing NMS multiplayer together several years ago. There were a lot of bugs but we sort of made our way through them. Eventually we realized that weather was unsynced between players even when standing right next to each other. That was sort of the straw that broke the back for us and we gave up on it once we realized it was a known bug that wasn't being worked on. We've checked a few times since and there wasn't any change. So now I'm wondering if the most recent update or a previous one has addressed this, or if weather is still not synced between players in multiplayer?

Is this a known exploit/glitch? [Discussion]

SPOILER ALERT, this may ruin your playthrough. One of the best/most rewarding parts of this game is finding your perfect ship. I haven't seen anyone talk about this here or in YouTube tutorials so just running it by you guys. I'm fairly new to the game, about 200 hours in. Here's how it goes..

Multi-player: dude 1 runs a distress signal a crashed ship dude 2, 3, 4, etc can all take said ship, it stays put it stays put, crashed ship is still visible and claimable by dude 1 (if dude 1 who ran distress signal takes it first then it's gone for your party, so let them all take it first) all dudes go to space station and sell same crashed ship at least 1 of your party stays in space station, crashed ship is still sitting in station your OTHER ship appears in station crashed ship is still sitting in station enter crashed ship again, in station crashed ship now (glitch) takes inventory/stats from your OTHER ship you lose OTHER ship but stats are transferred into the crashed ship OTHER ship = hauler, crashed ship = exotic, === profit$$$, you now have an exotic with 48 inventory slots hehe

Hopefully that was easy to follow, I can post a screenshot or vid if that helps. Anyone encounter this or am I the first?

#

Modular ship designs [Suggestion]

Wouldn't it be awesome if we could put together our own ships out of parts, including weapons? Kind of like Mechwarrior or MOO2. Right now there's only a tradeoff between inventory vs ship upgrades. If you had a limited amount of slots, each part/weapon/upgrade would have to be thought out and you'd be able to trade more shields for fewer weapon options, or more tech slots for slower speed. Positioning could also matter, like taking out a wing puts that weapon/upgrade out of commision until it's repaired.

I know it's mostly an exploration game, but the combat could be so much more!

Maybe they are launching an expedition on the 8th of september that is the same day as star trek’s 55th birthday and it would be fitting with a star trek theme.

I get everyone who loves exploration. I think, on the other hand, this game needs a good war (end game, no spoilers) [Spoiler]

This has probably been discussed to tears already, I'm sorry if I'm being redundant (I'm just not part of the community as much as you guys are).

I played through NMS about six months ago and haven't touched it since. Once you "beat" it, you effectively have no goals left. The robots do the same thing over and over again and turn totally predictable. Your environment you make is absolutely safe without chance of anything ever screwing you up. Sure you can die when you go outside but dying doesn't really matter that much (and why bother turning on hardcore mode when you're still invulnerable in most aspects as long as you're careful).

I would have wanted something waiting to make it all worth it. Give me a conflict (that you may not even be part of at first) where there are waves of enemies flying at you with behaviors that change. Give me a reason to want to defend my forts. Give me turrets. Let me be part of an assault on an enemy faction. Let me hire underlings with their own ships that help the defense. Ramp up the difficulty over time. Put in a little story where I have to make ethical choices. Hell, make a lot of this economical too so that you could even choose to supply a particular side with factory outputs (but just be ready for the consequences).

I feel like NMS endgame dies in a fire and I guess the closest comparison I would make to how I want it is... unfortunately, something like Eve Online. If you took Eve and got rid of the MMO aspect of it but paired it with the revolutionary flight and combat perspective of NMS, I would play NMS until the end of time. Right now, it just turns SO BORING the moment you get to the end of the story.

I'm stuck on Alone Amidst the Stars quest (improve reputation rank) [Bug]

Hello interlopers

I am currently stuck at the objective "Visit the lifeform and locate yourself on the starchart - Lifeforms in this system should be able to analyze Arthemi's chart and pinpoint your location.

At one point, the game told me to go to a tradepost and increase my Gek standing (0/2). I gave away the artifacts while seeing my progress going from 0/2 to 2/2, and then that window disappeared.

The NPC Prospector Apyrust at the end of the conversation keeps saying "Through the garble of Artemis' translator, it is clear that I am yet to make an impact among the Gek. I need to improve my reputation rank.

When I walk towards my ship on the bottom right corner, the game says, "Mission target is in another system in space, consult the galaxy map with X" When I fly the ship to space and open the ,galaxy map with X, I can only select Destination: Galactic Core or Black Hole and no path for the Artemis or an alien I suppose to talk to. I think I'm in the correct area where the trade post is located because on my compass thing on the top middle screen area I can see a blue icon that looks like a letter A with an additional horizontal line in it.

I looked online, and people seem to have a problem with this quest dating back to 2017 (4 years ago???). One person said to go to the space station in that particular system and do missions and make sure the NPC is Gek since I need to increase standing with them. I did one of each mission (3 in total),,would and my quest has not progressed. My save game has 50 hours and I originally started this save when NMS Expeditions came out. I thought I will continue on this save until the next upcoming thing comes out.

Any thoughts? I'm on PC, so I can try the save editor. I tried adding rank in there and reverting it since it did not help. I'm really...

What I would like to see / what I think would be neat. [Discussion]

I'm just over a hundred hours in the game and wholly recognise that I'm barely scratching the surface but there are a few things that I would love to see in the game to flesh it out a bit more: I would like that we could impact the economy tier. We can crash economies but I don't believe that impacts it's tier rating. I would love if we could build up system economies by performing various missions (clearing out sentinels/biological horrors, building outposts, establishing tradeposts etc) It'd be cool if you could also affect the conflict rating but tracking down pirates (culminating in a freighter battle) alternatively you could be a pirate and make a safe system unsafe by docking your freighter in the system with a fleet of combat frigates. Both of these should change your standing with the race of the system. Crashing an economy or making it unsafe drops your reputation. So you could easily play as an ally of one race and disrupt the systems of other races. Trade routes would be cool, in the game you can make money rather passively by mining, farming, or freighter missions. But to trade is really manual. It'd be cool to set up trade routes somewhat similar to fallout 4. You could set up what to by in each system and where to take it to sell.

That's about it for now but I'd love to hear your thoughts or ideas!

First traveller mission bugged (SOLVED) [Bug]

I had as many others the problem, where I had to loot an crashed freighter, but the freighter was already looted. The mission was theoretically bugged so I did some research. People wrote posts about how you need to travell far far away from the original system where the mission was located in. Did that, done that but all that happened, was that the mission marker dissappeared, so I had an even bigger problem and couldn't even find the crashed freighter anymore.

SOLVE: Flew about 5ish systems away, until the waypoint disappeared and traded at the space station with the cartographer guy (the guy neext to the teleporter). You need some "navigation data's" and specifically trade for the "emergency data" maps. Once flown back to a planet I used them, and after like 3 maps I was lucky enough to get an crashed freighter. So I selected the "first traveller mission" where it still said: "find the crashed freighter...", but I started looting the first hidden crate and the mission worked as intended.

Hope I can help some people out there, any questions related can be asked.

For the VR people - try turning off DLSS, its making your image way worse than you may think! [Suggestion]

I know, DLSS is amazing. But for some reason in VR it is just awful, at least in my case. It has all of the drawbacks of really bad anti-aliasing, which im sure we all know can really hurt the image in a VR game.

With all of my settings and resolution turned down a bit to make up for the performance lost by turning off DLSS, my image looks 10x better. Yes, your textures won't be "ultra" quality but they also won't be blurry, and you'll be able to see clearly 10 feet in front of you. It makes a huge difference in my opinion.

When I was growing up, we always had terrible internet. I could never really play an online game because of this, so I've been a single player gamer my whole life. Never played an MMO, never made a friend online, so the concept of multiplayer is foreign to me. I'm also still a bit new to NMS itself. Seeing other players in my game makes me anxious. Gaming has always been a personal experience and it feels weird to me seeing other people in my game. However, the way that NMS handles the multiplayer is appealing to me since the universe is so large that I can forget there are other people there.

Last night I was in the Space Anomaly station and I got added to a group twice. I declined the first one and accepted the second, however then the person didn't say anything and did their main quest thing with Nada. I want to try getting into the multiplayer thing, but I feel out of my depth. Why am I being added to groups? Should I say something when I am? What exactly is the etiquette? I'm also really nervous about Nexus missions because I'm afraid I might be terrible and just be a liability to the other players. Should I finish the main story and only then start worrying about the Nexus?

We need better minotaurs [Discussion]

Every time I try to use them I have found them quite underwhelming, between rather generic benefits, a limited panoply of weapons and some rather noticeable movement handicaps I feel it simply doesn't justify the investment, I know people will tell is a matter of flavor, but personally I think many were just hoping for something like a real battlemech/Imperial Knight or at least a BF2142/Titanfall walker in terms of fighting capabilities, here is what I would do to make it actually worth of all the effort of getting one, particularly during late game:

-Improve turn rate by 25%

-Improve jetpack duration and speed by 33%

-Add a permanent regeneration bonus active even during combat where the Minotaur recovers 1% of a healthbar every second

-Add the possibility to install additional weapon systems similar to those found in the Starship (eg: Infra-Knife Accelerator, Rocket Launcher, etc)

-Finally some alternative customisable models would be welcomed

Automatic Mining Units - working properly? [Question]

Hi all,

I just set up some AMUs on a fairly large Cu deposit and noticed something funny: I fuel them and let them do their thing. I double check after a few seconds, and the Copper is filling slowly in each of them. Then I leave and do something else. When I return after a while however, the fuel is spent (as I expected), yet the Copper storage is empty - they didn't mine anything.

Am I missing something here or could they be slightly bugged?

Holo-Terminus? [Question]

Hi guys! I’m sorry if this is a silly question but I just wanted to know what I should do!

I’ve been playing no mans sky for several weeks now, gone to multiple systems and such…. but I can’t seem to progress the Artemis Storyline. Right now, I’m at “Alone Amidst the Stars” where I need to find a Holo-Terminus. The only terminus that came up in my system was requiring an Indium drive.

I’m just wondering if anyone else had to find so many things to get further in the game or if I should just reset the quest and try again? I’ve gotten the Cadmium drive so far but it just seems like it’s taking forever to not even be able to build bases or anything….

Thank you

How do you play this game? [Question]

Hey guys I ask this because I really want to get deep into the game but am struggling to play more than an hour at a time without being overwhelmed by choice, blanking out and switching off.

I like structure and goals in games but there seems to be that many things to do I’m not sure which to invest my time in.

I’d like to know how you guys go about it so I can take inspiration and get on a track that keeps me interested for longer.

Cheers in advance.

Bugged frigate [Question]

Hey there - so one of my frigate quests is bugged. For two weeks it’s been telling me that they have 5 hours left. I can’t seem to be able to abandon the mission nor can I dismiss the frigate. Has anyone experienced this and found a solution? I feel like my only other option would be to delete that command room and replace it.

Crashed freighter blocking mission [Bug]

So I’m new to nms and I’m currently on a mission called a leap in the dark. You have to activate these leylines to open a portal. Well I’m on the last one and there is this massive crashed freighter blocking the thing I need to activate. It’s actually spawned on top of my objective and I can’t get to it because it’s glitches into the walls of the ship. I tried digging under it but there a invisible barrier blocking me. I also tried flying away and coming back to see if it despawns but that didn’t work. Any ideas? I really don’t want to start over again.

This game worth it on PC? [Question]

Is this game still worth it on PC? I remember being super excited about it when it first came out but bad reviews left me not getting it. I've heard its alot like minecraft but in space is that true?

Is it worth finding a hub to build in? [Question]

Hey guys, I'm fairly new here and trying to find somewhere to settle down with a base. I've never randomly encountered other players before so I was thinking of moving to a hub or somewhere I'm more likely to encounter others as it can get lonely being by myself. I've visited community builds before through the space anomaly and from what I remember it's always been pretty laggy so I was wondering if there's a hub with players I could build but somewhere that's not too laggy or filled with those annoying communication stations. Thanks guys :)

Wanting to get back into the game, but im feeling rather intimidated by it all :-).

Couple friends have been telling me to get into this game but just wanted to check If I get a PS4 disc copy I can then upgrade to the ps5 version for free.That's my understanding right.

Should I play this game? [Question]

I got this game on steam the day that it was released, and played it for a week with a mate of mine before I eventually stopped playing. No real progress through the game, so I never got a good grasp on the potential of the game..

I’m asking anyone who is reading this to give me some (non-spoiler) insight into the game, whether you’re a veteran or a novice.

Would you recommend this game?
