My Settlement Builds are Not Finishing [Discussion]

Has anyone else had issues when you build modules in the new settlements and it counts down on that step, and you think you are going to the next step, but then you have to repeat it over and over, and it never progresses? I have two game saves, and they are both stuck in a loop, and not finishing the buildings. They were working this morning, but don't seem to now.

I'm playing on Steam/PC in Normal mode on the new Frontiers update.

What happens when your ship gets shot down in space/midflight? [Question]

I've only died once in this game so far, I wasn't in my ship so I was able to find my grave and get my things back.

If im flying in space and my ship gets shot down, will I lose my ship and inventory the same way? Will there be a grave I can go back to in space? Will I have to repair all parts of my ship? Can you lose your ship completely?

Ive been close to being killed in my ship, want to know what to expect when it happens..

Are the devs patching? [Question]

I haven't seen any updates being DLed but it sure seems like the game is changing. Some bugs go away, new ones pop up. Built a mine and it worked fine. Went to add storage and it bugged out. Deleted it all, rebuilt and can't even get a single depot to connect, nor does power connect to the extractors. It's interesting that it worked before. Other things like that. On the first day I used to crash a lot on exiting my starship. Today it never happened - as if they fixed the issue. Are they fixing stuff server side? Or updates get DLed without us knowing?

The content in Frontiers [Discussion]

I love no mans sky but this update seems just empty... Did you guys liked the update? I felt it was so... shallow, the idea is good but the excution is really bad. I mean, I can have a city but every building is like 6-12 hours to complet, and after that more 12 hours to some interaction or request appear in the city.

The thing of resolve disputes, send people on expeditions and have visitors is nice, but they rarely appear...

And the gate time for each building to complete is just ridiculous, we can build castles in 40 minutes in our bases but need to wait 12 hours to a landpad be built in a city, its just a way of making the update seems to have more content, but in a very lazy way.

I mean 5 years anniversary and what we get is just this? A city that does nothing for hours?

I love the other updates but this one wasjust disappointing.

Not being able to customize your own settlements pretty much makes the entire function irrelevant to me. It's just mining again. [Discussion]

In basically EVERY case outside of ships (for some reason), this game allows us to customize our own stuff.

It has set this precedent across the board.

Now the MOST EXCITING THING they could have added for building and having fun with customization, building for NPCs and building a town...and we get NOTHING. Not even placement, not even swapping skins of existing buildings, not even presets to choose from, no decoration slots to place personal items...not even colors. We can pick a building to work on next...that building is already pre-placed for us. We do chores for the settlement, they give us surplus...it's basically mining with extra steps.

Imo, and I imagine a lot of people are going to hit this wall as well, this entire settlement system is made pointless and uninteresting because the main draw that has me playing this game at all (customization and expression and exploring in order to better express myself) is entirely void in a feature that deeply could have benefitted from it.

I came on to check this out, and despite the obvious bugs that I'll wait to get hammered out (my settlement is currently unusable because it's not completely flat for some reason and a building spawned in a hill)...I'm just probably going to not come back for this...there is no point. I don't need more resources, I don't need something to sink resources into that will just give me them back...I wanted something to DO.

At most I'll come back to play with the new building materials. The settlement system will be all but forgotten almost immediately even if I could use it.

The whole idea of settlements prior to this update, joining with friends...was building something for more than yourself. This kind of just ignores that whole concept and leaves us with yet another way to get...

Look can we just admit it already? The update needs some work. [Discussion]

Look, I love this game. I know how hard the team and the devs behind the game work. But what the hell happened? What happened? Bugs (which is normal, every update has bugs on launch day) but there are too many bugs to even call this playable! It's just a big buggy mess even after the patch!

It takes hours to build one singular building when we can build it ourselves in like a few minutes?

And on top of that, there's another bug where you can't even do anything with the settlement. There's no random events, no nothing.

The NPC's definitely need some work.

Look, I'm not one to complain on sight, but this is ridiculous.

Looking for a good light duty power and supply pipe pylon design. [Build]

Think something along the lines of simple power lines you see strung along the side of a highway in the rural parts of the us.

Tall and heavy duty is easy, that's just arches and either half arches or triangle arches on the side. But tall and light duty just looks terrible cause there's no really narrow tall pieces. Like half the width of a thin wall.

Anyone got any nice looking designs with either the old parts or new parts so I can run a couple supply lines over a boreal forest on my frost moon base?

New settlement hunting. [Information]

If you don't like your settlement you find and haven't chosen to be overseer I know how to reload for a supplement on your desired planet. Just go to a different galaxy, reset there, go to your desired planet in different galaxy, relog, then use a settlement chart. It should locate one for you!

I’m starting to get tired of updates resetting planets [Discussion]

Both my normal and survival saves had really awesome water planets that had deep oceans perfect for under water bases. One even had a cool alcove with vertical walls so I could park my sub and have an above ground and underwater section of the base. After updating both planets have the land masses removed and the bases I was in the process of building are floating in mid air. And my friend wonders why I stopped playing this game

[PC] Very Low CPU and GPU utilization causing poor framerate [Discussion]

Specs: 8700k, 1080 ti, 32gb ram, 250GB Samsung 970 EVO(OS drive), 1TB Samsung 860 EVO(game drive), 1440p 165hz Gsync monitor

Frame rate was a little low prior to Frontiers, but now booting it up for the first time I noticed FPS has dropped drastically with CPU utilization at 20% and GPU below 50% resulting in 20-30 FPS on planets and 40 fps in space. Setting everything to low and resolution to 480p does not make a difference. I have recently installed the latest Nvidia driver and used DDU to do a clean install. I have all of the latest Windows updates, I have tried game mode and HAGS both on and off. Gsync on/off. Resetting game settings to default or deleting config files so they regenerate back to default doesn't do anything either. Multiplayer on/off doesn't affect performance either. Also just wiped the game completely from my drive and reinstalled it on Steam.

I do nothing but game and light video editing on this PC. Even did a fresh install of Windows a month ago. I can't find any information at all regarding such poor performance. I did submit a ticket to Hello Games, but they never respond to any issues I've ever had.

So if anyone has any input I would greatly appreciate it!

Town status board? [Suggestion]

I don't know if my settlement is bugged or it is just bad design, but the last two things I've started (building a tavern or sending out an expedition to investigate some smoke on the horizon), once it's begun, I never hear about it again. I assume that all buildings have the 3 step process, but my building seems to have disappeared completely, nothing under construction in my town after the hour it said first phase would take. Same with the expedition, sent it out, quit game (and logged in shortly after it was supposed to be back) and the entry for it is gone from log, no notice of what happened. Maybe it's my MMO-experienced brain expecting things that are supposed to be real-time gated to actually happen, and tell me when they are done, but it would be nice if there was a status board or history log that shows what has happened, and what is still waiting for you (like a second phase of building).

This game is riddled with bugs and crashing! [Discussion]

I played this game back in 2018 and I do not recall it ever having this many bugs. I was having a lot of fun on my return back to the game two days ago but now that I've been playing for a good 15+ hours the bugs are just getting to the point where I might stop playing. I have to carry around this save point with me and use it every 5-10 minutes as I have been screwed over on 30-45 minutes of game play only to have the game completely lock up and I have to task manager kill the game.

Every time I TP back to base or log back into the game my electrical wires are showing even thought I have a cloaking unit. Every single time I TP back to base my ship is stuck inside my base and I have to summon it to the landing pad I built.

How can a game be out this long and still have shitty bugs like this still. What a joke!

I have a very high end PC so I cannot imagine it being anything related to my hardware. I have moved the graphics from maxed out to high and all these bugs still happen. I have ran game repair, etc.

I tried this game in VR for the first day and I actually didn't have this many issues but playing the desktop version it's been a nightmare. I would go back to VR if I could get the menus to actually scale but that never works either! The menus are so big I have to look around in VR to see stuff which isn't ideal. VR was fun but not good for long sessions and controls for the ship using Index controllers are just ok. The build menu in VR is a complete headache to deal with.

My specs are:

Windows 10 Pro: build 20H2, RTX 3090, 10700K, M.2 drive for both the game and OS. VR HMD is a Reverb G2

Settlement Class, Features, Sentinel Alert Level and Planets: Choosing a good Settlement? [Discussion]

So we know that you can find at LEAST B-Class Settlements to claim (Let me know if you found an A or S!), and their class upgrades over time as you improve them, but I can't find much information about settlement Features. Most settlements I have seen have many more negative than positive Features, and are on planets with bad weather and hazardous conditions. So, some tips and questions I have are:

First, if you find a settlement and don't like it - You can just go to a space station and buy settlement location charts from the cartographer. You will only ever find one settlement in a system, so fly to a new system (It must be an inhabited system, and the species living there will depend on the species that owns the system.) and use your chart to find a new settlement. This is how to hunt for a settlement you like.

If you already have a settlement and want to get rid of it - You can only currently swap it for another settlement. Go to another inhabited system and use a Settlement location chart, and upon attempting to claim it you are given the option to abandon your previous settlement. Far as I know, you are stuck with that daily maintenance cost since you can't currently NOT own a settlement after claiming your first one.

I would recommend looking for one on a world without bad weather or hazardous environment - This will make your time there less irritating. This is easier said than done, however. There are a lot more inhospitable worlds than nice ones, so your odds of finding a settlement on a nice planet are not good. This will take you some time, but is worth it.

Look for one with good Features - This matters more than it does with frigates. I would especially steer clear of settlements with a bunch of negative traits. Especially Productivity reductions and Maintenance Cost increases, those are going to...

You can apply legacy color schemes to the new Timber/Stone/Alloy sets. Here's how. [Bug]

The game's newest settlement-inspired construction pieces are sexy as hell, and part of their appeal is a new set of really tactful and subtle color schemes exclusive to them.

But for folks who are used to the much wider and brighter color selection of the older base parts, or who intend to mix both sets and are concerned about not being able to match them, a pretty simple glitch allows you to paint the new pieces with the gaudy sci-fi tints of yore.

This is tested on PS4, but the nature of the glitch gives me the impression it will work on whichever platform.

Walkthrough: Place a piece of decoration, furniture, or tech on your base. It may work with other pieces, but I haven't had consistent success (in limited testing) with the legacy structures (Wood/Metal/Concrete) - so use a desk, a bed, etc. Using Edit Mode, enter the color menu for this decoration and select the color scheme you're looking for. I do not believe the chosen texture matters. Press the back button (O on PS4) once to confirm the color selection, then press it once again to access the building part selection menu. Select a piece from the Timber/Alloy/Stone sets. Once placed, it should have the same color scheme as the decoration you selected earlier.

Notes: It does seem like you can switch between pieces after activating the glitch, though exiting build mode entirely, switching modes, or entering the color menu again will reset it. Replicating a glitched piece will replicate the color scheme, too. For convenience, it may be smart to place one of each piece you'll anticipate using so you can just replicate if the glitch deactivates. I've only played the update a few hours, and therefore only had the chance to test this with Timber. I can't think of why it would't work with the others, but don't know if it'll look as nice. Some pieces won't look as nice with...

I love No Man’s Sky but please, for the love of god, can we remove the arbitrary wait times already? [Discussion]

The settlement update for me was exciting until I found out it’s an hour and a half wait for each step to build a building. Completely sucks the fun out of it in my opinion. Decided to kill time and do a mission; I handed an Ion Battery to my scientist and he asked me to wait an hour and a half for the next quest. As a game mechanic, how is that fun?

I can craft modules and upgrades instantaneously, build my own base from the ground up in little to no time but there’s still these exorbitant wait times that suck the fun and flow of the game.

Do not get me wrong, I am so grateful for all these updates but I just don’t understand how it’s supposed to be fun. If they’re going for realism, surely wait times would be added to everything you create? Even if their creative decision is a wait time, why such a long time? 10-15 minutes? Sure, still halts the flow but I can do some things and keep my mind on what I’m waiting on. But an hour and a half? I‘ll plop 5 microprocessors into a building and have to call it a night. Not everyone is able to play that long.

The one part of the lore I still don't understand- The First Race [Discussion]

In abandoned buildings there is lore about the creators of the Atlas and the sentinels, who are reffered to as the first race. The text describes how the sentinels wiped out their creators, and that that goo stuff growing about the buildings is a result of the members of the first race's "flesh merging with the metal [of the sentinals]". Ofc this all shows the first race existed inside of the simulation. But then, they must also exist outside of it since they created the Atlas. We're also led to believe in a 4th-wall breaking interpretation of the lore where the simulation is just the game and the creators (the first race) are the devs. But how can the devs have been wiped out inside of the game and also turned into goo? So many questions lol

The new building systems... are terrible. [Discussion :(]

So far Frontiers has taking one of the things I truly loved about this game, and utterly upended it, with a fair layer of excrement to boot.

It may be fixed in patches, I'm not sure, but: The new navigation is terrible (mouse-stick sucks at the best of times) The snap points are... poorly behaved. (interior structures no longer snap at all, in either mode, and seriously? I can't put a block below another blocks? What, I have to build a flight of stairs from low to high ONLY???) Can't build down (so my favorite method of adding struts to a landing pad are tanked) Leave floating viewpoint every time you select a new base part Delete tool is the wonkiest thing ever

I was super excited for new base building options, finally a reason to go get more salvage data! But so far looks like their new UX designer got their credentials out of a Lucky Charms box...

Oh well, maybe I'll explore the settlements in more detail, but jumping jehosephat... what a hot steaming mess.

Freighters are actually organic [Discussion]

Massive space bugs, to be exact. About nothing about Freighters works as it should be. In my first few hours of playing the game I got an event that gave me a Freighter because I shot down a singular "pirate" (no exaggerating) that was apparently attacking it.

So when I tried to enter I initially got stuck in a wall and had to reload, then I got stuck repeatedly trying to get to the captain on the seams between tiles (I had this in the Anomaly spacestation, or whatever it was called, as well). Luckily the latter just required me to use the jetpack to get unstuck.

So then I somewhat foolishly proceeded to mess with the interior of the Freighter. Initially the rendering of the walls broke and I could look straight into outer space (rest of the Freighter wasn't rendering either, but I assume that's just LOD/no backface rendering or something). Then I proceeded to delete some tiles because I didn't need the useless room in the back. Upon deleting a corridor tile I clearly was not standing on (not ironic, I really was not standing on it) the floor beneath me quit its job and I fell straight down into the void, until I hit an asteroid that killed me due to "high impact velocity".

So I went back to the Freighter for round 3, now understanding why I had gotten it for shooting 1 turd out of the sky. Initially I tried to put my portable refinery down, but this was refused due to my base apparently not being in range. So I tried building a portal and this somewhat surprisingly did work. The portal itself worked too when moving out, but the portal in the Freighter itself was never recognized at any location. I got told to reload the game but to no avail. So somewhat defeated I tried just using it as a place to deposit excess resources but it also turns out Freighters can't store more items than I can in my cargo pants.

Don't get me wrong, I'm having a blast so far but Freighters...

Space belongs to the travelers [Discussion]

Dear fellow travelers I wrote this letter hoping it reaches you all well and hope you agree with me when I say we shouldn’t assist the alien races in colonizing the galaxies we explore. Think about it, the gek will ravage the natural beauty of the planets for profit, the Vy’Keen will decimate worlds in their blind rage against the never ending aggression of the Sentinels and the Korvax… idk they might discover stuff and spoil it? Anyway I think we should let these settlements die out and dare I say it, let the sentinels do their job I mean what’s stopping the alien races from turning on us and saying WE are out of our place, we take what we want and do what we want because we are travelers, this is our universe, and I don’t want it to be ruled by anyone.

Can't progress in the Frontiers Quest because Friend Stole my settlement. [Question]

Exactly what it says in the title. Friend got in the server first, was already doing the quest when I joined, and we all lived on that planet anyway so I was like "great all our villages can be on the same planet!"

And then the quest directed me to his town. Not a new one. Reloading didn't work either.

So my question is can there be more than one settlement per planet? I really wanted to have my town there (it's a really nice paradise planet) and if there can't be another one I'm gonna have to go looking again. Does anyone know, or do I just wait a week for Hello to fix their shit lmao.

Starbirth Bug? [Question]

I've been working on the Starbirth quest and I'm just about at the end. I'm at the part where you need to collect traveler souls for the Soul Chamber. However, I think something's bugged out, because for some reason I have TWO Soul Chambers.

I've located and interacted with at least ten traveler graves. One Soul Chamber is named "Soul Chamber (33%)", and the other is named "Soul Chamber (0%)". My log says that the Soul Chamber is 66% full.

Every time I interact with a new traveler grave, the prompt reads "The fallen traveller's grave is marked by a glyph, an epitaph of some ancient technology." The only option available to me is "Extract glyph". When I do this, the prompt reads "I obtain the glyph, and with it the ability to travel to unknown worlds...". I believe I already had all sixteen glyphs unlocked before beginning Starbirth.

Any suggestions? This is a bug, correct? Is there a reliable way to fix this bug?

Why you explore [Discussion]

So I was looking for a better settlement than the one the quest line gave me. I was in a booming, peaceful Vy'keen system with some interesting planets, so I used a chart to find a settlement in the system. (By the way, when you use a chart and the are no settlements in the system, you shouldn't lose the chart. In my opinion.) The chart directed me to a "Vile Anomaly" planet. Eww, I thought. But then I figured it might still be better than a settlement full of Geks at the base of a volcano, so I gave it a shot.

The planet is quite lovely. Purple grass, rolling hills, rich foliage, well-behaved animals, lots of waterfront, great weather (infrequent heat storms, but otherwise no hazard), emeril, ammonia and salt, enough knowledge stones and buried tech modules and buildings to keep you interested as you explore--it has a lot going for it. I claimed the settlement.

But that's why you explore planets instead of assuming you know that they're about. Thank you for attending my TED Talk.

Insert I've done/have everything and don't have the itch currently for infinite exploration. I love what settlements could mean for the early/midgame, but am so settled in my Survival save I'm hesitant to do PermaDeath/Co-op Survival fresh start.

Is there a currency dump activity besides fishing for X mods Derelict Freighters or maybe maxing the alien ship? I think those are the only two things I haven't thoroughly explored.

I've been to the Anomaly, and I can't find the part there for purchase, and it's not including in the alloy parts I currently own—at least, as far as I can tell.

Do you guys like the new build menu that's been added in frontiers? [Question]

IMO I liked the old build menu or UI better it was more simple and straight forward. With this new build menu it feels weird and it takes up the entire screen just so I can choose what color I want to change something to or a specific building part. At least then you could see what it would look like in the color you have previewed before you equip it but here you don't get to see it until after you place the color and if you don't like the look of it you have to do it again.

Hell I tried changing the color of the walls of my freighter and I tried changing the entrance of where you go up the stairs to the hall before you enter the bridge and it kept glitching Everytime I tried to make it red & grey and I struggled to change it back to it's original color.

Swamp tree and other static scenery bugs? [Question]

Hi there! I was really excited to build in the swamp on a planet with these big trees that are all cut off at a certain height.

But I found out three thing.

The tree didn’t have collision sometimes and those that did the collision was misaligned. Meaning you would walk under the tree and run into invisible roots.

To make matters worse when I built a base in the tree I quickly found out that the game rotates the trees a little bit every time they load in.

Has this always been an issue with static scenery? Or is this an issue with just the swamp trees…

Weird Multiplayer Sync Issues Caused by Starting a New Game outside First Galaxy? [Bug]

So I recently was able to get my friend back into No Man's Sky after not touching it a whole lot post release. We both started on PS4, and moved to PS5. I carried my save data over, but he started brand new on the PS5 version. And his first time creating a new save was joining directly on me for a co-op group session.

But the thing with that was - I am not in the beginning galaxy. So he started brand new right into multiplayer in a different (late game?) galaxy. Which brings me to a couple questions.

We noticed a couple syncing differences while we were on the same planets. One of us would have extreme weather while the other chilled at a reasonable 77 F°. I would be able to see a deposit of activated copper, while he only saw the same deposit as regular copper. We came across a crashed ship and were both somehow able to claim it (and promptly scrap it). The last one also led to an interesting situation where we were both scouting for new ships to buy on the station (which also showed a different class for the same ship for us). Apparently the second I traded one of my ships for a new one, his game immediately crashed. Could be a coincidence but considering everything else that happened up to that point I kinda doubt it.

So I guess my biggest concern is, do you think this could potentially be a syncing error due to him starting a new save in multiplayer in a post-Euclid galaxy? Will this somehow mess up his progress going through the main story? Thoughts?

Has anyone worked out what causes settlement construction to reset? [Question]

G'day Folks,

I'm trying to build a landing area. 3x 4-hour construction timers. With a limited play schedule, that's already a multiple day endeavour with the settlement digging itself deeper into debt every minute. What's made it much more maddening is every time I return to the settlement to find out what step 2 is, the freaking construction has reset and I need to collect more resources and restart step 1.

Last night I restarted the construction again just before logging off. This morning I log in and yep I get to make more arconium and start again.

I'm hopeful (but not expecting) someone can explain how to avoid a construction reset.

I have a sneaking suspicion I need to be playing when the timer completes; that if it completes when the game is closed, progress is lost. If that's the case I might as well just stop trying. I don't get many 4+hour sessions and scheduling to come back in time is... problematic at best.

It is a bit weird that this update's essential message is "don't play, do something else" [Discussion]

So you log on, press a button, and then there is still nothing to do until in like 4-5 hours when it is time to press the button again? THAT'S supposed to be the core gameplay experience of this update?

And that is assuming everything actually works and my settlement is not just bugged beyond belief. My settlement just sits there, never clearing its debt despite making enough money and with zero building options aviable either. "Go do something else" - gee, I already have more credits than I could ever spend and basebuilding is just not worth my time. If I was in building mood you wouldn't find me playing this game to begin with, there's a whole genre for titles that does it better.

I'm still hoping that this is just half the update and some cool bits are saved for the expedition, but for now its not looking good. It feels like NMS as a game actively hates itself to the point it now tells you to log off and do not waste any more time with it than necessary aside from the one button press every few hours.

Imagine having 5 years and still not coming up with a worthwhile lategame activity, be it hunting down spaceship/exocraft customization parts, actual impact on factions/the galaxy map, or whatever else one could come up with. Instead, the game's answer to "there's nothing to do" is now "piss off, come back in 4 hours, then repeat that" - except, it also gives me no reason to actually come back and press that button, as that just perpetuates a pointless loop with no gain whatsoever.

Congratulations on creating a game that actively discourages its players from playing it. That sure is a first.

My settlement sucks. [Question]

After my office was complete I was given the opportunity to build a dance bar. Only after complete I noticed that one of my settlement features was 'dancing outlawed'.

Settlement is heavy in debt, loses roughly triple what it takes in.

I've not had another interaction with my settlement for the last ~18h of game time (just says running smoothly)

Literally while typing this I got a new construction opportunity (finally), it was to build a saloon (which kills productivity even more), or nothing. I chose nothing.

  1. Settlement buildings require ridiculous time to complete, and it's not a truly decision-making minigame, it's a piece of crap linear tamagochi.

  2. The first fact said, it could have been better if players could own a network of settlements and switch between the tasks. The universe had a dozen of NPCs per planet once, now it's 2% less boring, congrats!

  3. Instead of mixing the biomes and tackling the fact that there's nothing to do after the first 2 minutes after landing, we get millions of useless shitty base construction parts. Oh Sean, you can add the whole Amazon catalogue to the game assets, but it won't get better.

How can i stop my i5 6600k from jumping to 100% usage [Question]

Hey Folks

Returning Player Here. I have a Problem with NMS. Recently I looked into my CPU usage when playing NMS bc I get horrible frame drops when playing. And everytime a frame drop happens ( usually every few seconds) my CPU usage will spike to 100% . I already tried tinkering with my video settings and also tried the numhigh and numlow trick but it doesnt help :( Really sad bc I would like to play with a stable frame.

Ship Scanner no longer finding waypoints/stations etc.?? [Bug]

Hey there, sorry if this is old news but I've been away from the game for probably 16 months, came back for all the goodness of these new updates (which are awesome by the way, little QOL stuff like being given the location and type of Fauna to make them easier to find, visuals etc.), but one thing that seems to not work as used to is trying to find somewhere to land planet side.

Previously, I'd go into a planets atmosphere, ease off the throttle, scan and be shown various waypoints to head to, like bases and trade stations so I can land and then take off without fuel, but they do not appear for me anymore.

I found a base with a landing pad manually with my eyes last night, so fly past, turned around, pressed scan and it just does not show. The only thing that comes up on my compass at the top now, and only whilst flying low and really slow, like holding RT so going 30 speed, is a house symbol for waypoints but not bases, and those "learn a word" tude things... not even the metal deposits are showing up now.

So just wondering has some default options been changed, or do I need to purchase some scanner upgrade for my ship now, or has my saved game became buggy - or have they made it now impossible to find these things from flight and you have to land and use the nav beacon now??

Multiple amounts of everything [Question]

Hi there!

I've returned to NMS after around a year and for one thing i can't find an explanation - lots of stuff seems to be randomly multiplied. I.e - in conversations i samotimes two items, learn two new words, increase/decrease standing by two. Whenever i purchase planetary chart for 15 nanites i get between 1-5. After using them also sometimes more locations appear.

Could you please explain me why this is happening or preferably give me link to patch notes with this change, so i can learn what else is now behaving this way?

Thanks in advance and have a nice day everyone.

Free ship, upgrades, units, and nanites [Spoiler]

So I found this while trying to rid myself of a secondary living ship. It works with regular ships too.

Take your ship to the space station. Wait for others to arrive. Talk to them, and make an offer on their ship. If your ship is worth more, exchange it. Immediately run as fast as you can, back to your original ship. Talk to them again, and make an offer on their (your) ship. Negotiate price, and the option shows up to claim ship for free. Then go back to the ship you "bought" to make it your primary, and scrap it for units, resources, and upgrade modules, which can then be sold to the upgrade merchants for free nanites.

You can also use this to upgrade your ship to something better. I picked up an S class ship and made that my primary, scrapping my old one, and using the upgrade modules to pimp her out.

A few warnings/notes:

1: you can only have 6 ships, so make certain you have room for the extra one.

2: run fast when you go back to your original ship. If they take off, it's gone.

3: check your inventory often, you fill up quick with scrap to sell.

Oh, playing on PS4.

Enjoy!!

Living ship mission bug? [Bug]

So I finally managed to get a void egg and I was on the part where I had to make a pulsating core, when I did it told me to go to a different system so I went there and then it old me to go somewhere else! So I went there and it then told me to go back to the first system I was told to go to! What?!

So I checked my log and it still said produce pulsating core (which I had done) so I tried dismantling my first Core and making a new one but it just gave it back to me and didn’t let me dismantle so I just made a second one but nothing happened. I don’t know if doing anything wrong here or if this even is a bug but could anyone help me please? I’ve worked really hard for that egg and it would be a shame to not be able to use it.

Makeshift Mod: Reduced Settlement build times [Modding]

I see mandatory wait as a horrible lazy design to artificially cover how shallow actual content is.

Even more so if there are multiple loooooooong time gates like this shiny new No Man's Sims...

Then I decided to quickly slap some things together.

 

gofile - link to PAK

Made for Frontiers 3.61 (77572 at title screen)

May break after 3.62 IF that modifies GCSETTLEMENTGLOBALS.MBIN

 

Mod Effects

Sets all settlement building time per stage to 90s. Longest one was the infamous 4h.

Reduces "building upgrade time" from 2h to 3m. - idk what this is but why not

 

NOT what this does

Affect debt "decay rate" in any way. Would be cool, but I have no idea how debt stuff is done in-game.

 

Distribution

Do whatever you do. IDGAF about internet points or whatever.

 

References

Call me crazy, but a remote base/settlement info tool would be great [Suggestion]

We have this vast universe to explore, usually a few things to do… and we have to drop everything to warp back to a settlement or base pretty frequently. Whether you wanna check your AI storage, refiner progress, or do literally anything for your settlement. It’s just… inconvenient.

So? Easy QoL change! Give us a watch or something. Pull it up in the quickbar, check the status of various base related things things (storage silos, refiners, anything else you can think of); but, more importantly, make settlement decisions on the fly.

Because, look, settlements are neat and all, but I don’t wanna have to keep warping back to them over and over and over again. For construction? I get it. But why can’t I just be give the wannabe citizen a fat “no” from the comfort of my ship five galaxies away?

New base parts colors. [Discussion]

I’ll start by saying that this isn’t a hate post. I love the update overall. Those new harvesting animations are HOT!

After some tinkering, I have really grown to like the new base parts. Seeing how they work together, I kind of understand nixing the old parts although a little heads up would have been nice. With more that 800 hours in on PS4, I switched to pecans hadn’t collected them all yet. I also dig the new menus. After some getting used to (and remapping a few controls) , it seems better than the old system in many ways. Seeing the base parts laid out like that helps me to visualize a build.

… but these colors… it’s like they picked the most boring, corporate neutral colors. This must be what McDonalds workers felt like when everything went grey. Omg, please give us more color options! Might as well build office buildings with these colors.

After finishing the overseers office I NEVER got any new work. I have this city for almost 24h now and nothing happens. Do I have to retrack one with another map because of that or what should 'I do?

Wouldn't it be great if we could turn our own bases into settlements? [Suggestion]

Player run settlements is a feature I personally hoped would be added for a long time. Now that it's here, I'm pleasantly surprised by just how fleshed out it actually is. My only major disappointment with it is the lack of customization for settlements. I had hoped we would be able to build them from scratch, choose where to place buildings and how to decorate them. I'd hoped that it would simply be a matter of adding settlers to the existing bases we can already build wherever we want.

I imagine there are technical reasons for why HG didn't go this route, which is totally understandable. But it would be nice to be able to build our own bases into settlements and use some of the existing features to improve them. We could use the mining units to directly bring resources, oxygen, and hazard protection to the settlement. We could use frigates to create trade routes between settlements that have to be defended from time to time. The farming mechanics could be used to raise livestock and feed the settlers. Cooking mechanics could be used to create food variety that will increase happiness.

I think there's a lot of ways HG could flesh out this feature and incorporate existing features into it. But it does seem like it was created in a specific way because it would have been a technical challenge to do it the way I'm describing. If so, then it's still a great new feature that should be expanded upon in any way possible. There are entire games built on this premise, so if HG should really double down on this feature in every way possible.

Have hope! 3.62 Allowed me to find settlement on home planet! [Information]

I suppose this post is to say thanks to the devs hard work! Keep it up!

For context, I spent many hours (as most of you have) to find a nice home planet. I was bummed when Frontiers first came out that after hours of flying, I couldn't find a settlement. That, and any settlement chart would send me to a high-TOX planet within the same system.

Patch 3.62 seemed to have fixed it for me, as I logged on this morning in desperation, warped to my fancy home planet, and used a chart that sent me directly to a settlement on my favorite planet.

Time to get to work.

Freighter base construction after Frontiers update [Question]

Is it me or has freighter base construction after the Frontiers update gotten worse? In particular, the Freighter Junctions seem to be functioning differently. I used to be able to string some of the cross junctions together to create some nice-looking columns. Also, I seem to be unable to attach a corridor to a junction. PS4. It's really messing with my freighter base.

I have had multiple bases completely ruined by the terrain regeneration, I’ll spend literal HOURS terraforming a hill to make it the perfect plateau for my base to sit on with a landing pad and base for all my companions, but no matter what i do, whenever i spawn back it, it’s completely covered back up with the hill.

Moving to next galaxy [Question]

So I've clocked about 150 hours so far and all of them have been in Euclid. I've decided I want to explore further and move to the next galaxy and just want to make sure I understand how thats done. So far I've finished the Atlas Path and birthed a new star (although I understand this isnt totally necessary?) and I'm now jumping through black holes until i get to the centre, is this right?

PSA: You can build a base right at the edge of your settlement, and then build whatever you want on the settlement area itself [Information]

Just go to the edge of the flat part and put down a base computer (keep going further out until it stops complaining about a preexisting base), and then you can build stuff right in the settlement area. I build a teleporter so that I can leave easily without having to call my freighter or fly to the anomaly.

New player: Freighter (Colors) bugged? [Question]

Hi guys,

I started NMS a week ago and after ~3 days or so I defended a Gek freighter from pirates. They then gifted me the freighter (afaik, pretty sure I didnt click “buy“ and think I didnt even have money at that time).

Its just a C-Class but with 30-something slots and pretty decent stats I think. So my friend with ~300h in NMS said “weird, you shouldnt have a freighter yet, you'll get a B-Class later from a quest“. Also I bugged out of it 2x into space and my friend got stuck in it with his starship 2x.

Also it looks different for him (blue/orange: colors as his ship) than for me (yellowish most of the time) and it changes color for me. Ive read that this is due to old saves before NEXT or so, cause back then freighters had only one seed determining its appearance. But after NEXT they have 2 seeds (model and color) and since they only have 1 seed the 2nd seed (color) adapts to the player or system. Is that possible? I mean I started a week ago and the “before NEXT“ theory feels weird to me cause of it.

Now my questions: 1. Is it true and Im “not supposed“ to have a freighter yet? 2. Is the color theory correct or is there an other explanation?

Sorry English isnt my first language, also thank you all guys, NMS is awesome and people are overall really nice in this community!

Help. Settlement - I started the mission but the settlement isn't mine. [Question]

Sorry for the long post in advance..... so I turned on my game for the first time since the update. I have a base in a system that's populated by other players. I was in the anomaly when my game started and as soon as I flew out I got a prompt for a settlement mission which I accepted. I landed on a planet, met a guy, fought some sentinels and went to the kiosk to become overseer. Once I got there it says this settlement belongs to someone else. The mission in my log keeps sending me back to this settlement. I'm not able to fire off any settlement maps which I purchased because my log shows an ongoing mission. What should I do??

Frontiers just seems a small update like prisms and companions and not a Big anniversary update like past years. [Discussion]

For real, I was really hyped and thought that the 5 years anniversary would bring something BIG like the past years, I thought that they would add something that would really changed the game and that Frontiers would be the Biggest update until now.

But it just feels like a small update. Honestly for me companions was way better than Frontiers, for a FIVE YEARS anniversary it just seems to small and irrelevant.

As a small update like companions, prisms and all others small updates, frontiers seems nice and a good addition to the game, but as a anniversary update is just disappointing.

Is just like frigates missions but on land, and with way less rewards. I mean 5 years should be something special, a new significant gameplay mechanic and not just an useless and boring side activitie with time gates that doesn't change nothing the core gameplay, is something completely optional that can be ignored.

Even if it is the anniversary update, for me it just looks like a small update with no significant change beyond the new base parts, the Settlements are just a side activity with time limiter just like frigates expedition, with no addition of real gameplay.

I know it's a free update and I should complain, but honestly origins and all past anniversary updates were way better.

As a anniversary update, Frontiers is just disappointing, I expected something better.

Let me start off by saying I love this new update! I’m very grateful for all the work the team put in! And I’m well aware Sean and his team are working to fix bugs right now, but when I went to my base, almost everything was messed up. There are just missing parts, missing objects, and a lot of things that should work that are not working. This new update literally destroyed my base I spent hours to work on! So as you would expect, this is pissing me off. Does anyone know if this will be fixed soon? Has this happened to any one of you? If so please comment and we can talk about it!

Warning: Community Pick In the Anomaly Portal is a Trap [Discussion]

Idk if this has been talked about before, but yesterday I used the portal on the anomaly to visit the giant boombox on community pick. (First time btw) I show up on this low atmosphere moon, enjoying the beats that were going on when all of a sudden a living ship shows up and parks next to the boombox. My initial thought? "Oh nice somebody else is gonna enjoy these beats with me." Nope. He transforms into a giant mechanical suit and proceeded to lazer me. I died, respawned, got lazered again. Luckily when I spawned the third time, I hid behind his ship and went under it and immediately loaded a save from a bit earlier.

When I spawned on the Anomaly with all my loot, all I can think is "what the hell just happened". Prior to that I had spent 60+ hours on the most relaxing voyage ever. So it was definitely out of nowhere lol

Ngl this caught me off guard! Straight up horror scene! wondering if anybody has encountered this before??

Frontier power options? [Question]

I've been wondering if there has been any system added to make routing power from hot spots to bases any easier or if we need to just keep doing the foundation power lines? If there hasn't been anything added to make power distribution a little easier it would be nice to see something along the lines of a power transmitter and receiver that you can hook your electromagnetic generators up to and then place receivers at other bases to power the planetary grid or maybe power lines that can connect to the producer and then have a large connection distance and don't really attach to a specific base until connected to the receiving end as well? Either that or some other way to produce power enmasse for a base.

Settlement still bugged [Bug]

Hey everyone. Playing on Series X.

I know a lot of people were having the issue of the settlement mission not progressing and saying "running smoothly." I have been having that issue as well since the release of Frontiers. After yesterday's hotfix, I assumed the problem had been solved, because it finally allowed me to build my first building. Unfortunately, it seems like that's where the mission stalls again. I built my first building last night and then waited, and nothing happened. This morning I check again and it's still running smoothly. Even after this morning's hotfix it's just not progressing.

Question about Frontiers (Already Tried Searching for Past Discussions) [Question]

Hey everyone, I hope you are enjoying the new update. I have not been able to properly try out the new features just yet, and have been wondering about one thing in particular. Were any improvements made to the procedural generation - not just with the terrain, but with anything else in the game (animals, plants, colors, etc.)?

I tried looking for any indication of proc gen improvements here, but haven't found anything conclusive. With the idea of a frontier, I thought it would mean the very edge of explored territory, with settlement only beginning. Meaning, there would be new, unexplored lands just beyond what is known. The settlement system itself does look innovative, though, and has a certain depth to it that the other, smaller updates have lacked at times (still awesome content, though).

Let me start by saying this game has so much potential to be a top-tier game. I purchased this game at launch but it was pretty much unplayable at launch. I have kept the same save file from launch on the PS4 to the PS5 but only have about 50 hours in it. With every update I try to get back into it. However every single update that has been released so far has caused some small bug that blocks mission progression on newly released content. That game is still playable I just cant access the new content. Scanners not properly working, scientists not showing up in the space station, base computer not proving any mission and now construction site terminals not spawning. I want to get into the game but having unfinished content released to the masses is stating to become a burden on the community. I'm tired of being told to "wait a couple of weeks till they fix the glitches". Then a couple a weeks past and I forgot about the game or deleted it off my dashboard.

The Settlement Wishlist (Add your suggestions in the comments!) [Suggestion]

Alright - Frontiers has been out and already are the Devs hard at work fixing all the major gamebreaking bugs causing people to not even play, but I think we can all say that Settlements have been a bit flat in their design. I'm unsure if this is on purpose and they want the start to be slow before they begin to add new ways to improve it - but since this community is usually so awesome I thought we could make a post about what we want from Settlements. I'll start:

  • Less Timegating, or a way to funnel your resources into construction to speed it up by a flat amount or %.

  • Ways to trigger Settlement Decisions via interactions within the colony.

  • Ways to remove bad features via specific addons we can add to the hub. (I.E: Space Spider Repellent for the Space Spiders debuff) This could be done with advanced technology tree making them worth the time and money or exploration based even maybe like Derelict freighters?

  • Ways to add new positive features via specific addons we can add to the hub. (Like the above one, just for the reverse! I.E: Antimatter into the Workshops to create Antimatter Workshops that permanently increase the production for the settlement?)

  • A choice that allows for the colony to procedurally generate the locals and buildings in the decisions OR allow for the Overseer to specifically go out and select a plot and build it up from there on their own.

  • Ways to develop new ways of generating natural resources by having decisions that can create hotspots WITHIN the colony borders that can lead to easy exploitations and free resources the colony generates. (Can even affect happiness if they are for mining and the people don't like the constant mining)

What do you guys think, and more importantly what do you all believe should be added to the Settlements to make them feel more interactive and alive?

3.62 Has Finally Hit PS4 - Still Crashing A Lot [Discussion]

Title says it all. Since Frontiers release the game has been very unstable on PS4, especially on Pro's. The number of bluescreens I have had the last couple of days has been extraordinary, it almost feels like a Bethesda game. I have bluescreened from exiting a ship, entering a ship, interacting with a pet, scanning a plant, scanning an animal, placing a base computer, interacting with said base computer on second attempt, trying to use the build menu, using my jetpack, using my multi-tool, turning my ship in space, walking (yes simply walking, I admired the view for a mo, took two steps and the game crashed)

​

It has become so frustrating. I am trying to stream the new content but being on PS4, if the game crashes, the stream ends. I've had umpteen stream restarts and spent hours waiting for 3.61 and 3.62 to make their way to Playstation (long after PC & XBox) only to have the game crash within minutes of each patch being installed.

​

I just want some stability in the game, the ability to play more than 5 minutes without it crashing and erasing what little I managed to do in those 5 minutes. I've been on this one planet two days now, still at 0 discoveries because I can't play long enough to upload anything. I have never known the game to be this unstable, it is reminiscent of Fallout 76 at it's very worst and I hate making that comparison because my god I love NMS.

​

I know it will be fixed in time, I trust Hello Games to do that, I just wish they would focus on the stability first, I keep seeing a big long list of fixes yet the game is still entirely unplayable on a PS4 Pro, for me and a few of my friends who have pro's, the lucky ones with older PS4's seem to be faring much better.

​

Sorry for the vent, It is just being on PS means waiting until late in the day for the hotfixes just to find that the game still crashes...

I fired up NMS last night to check out the latest update - I found that pretty much all my discoveries were gone and I needed to rescan and rediscover all the planets in the systems I have bases in. Every system I've been to before is like this. Now everything apparently needs to be rescanned and rediscovered and is getting new names, and no longer feels familiar from when I played in these systems before. I'm not liking this. Is this intentional or a bug?

I feel like I found my perfect settlement. :D I got so lucky. [Screenshot]

So first settlement quest, the settlement is on an extreme planet with very frequent storms. Yea, no, don't want that.

I jump 3 more times, and I pretty much found exactly what I was looking for. A paradise planet, no storms so far, purple/pinkish grass, bubbles floating everywhere, and that glowing wavy effect on the grass during the night. I doubt I'll find anything better at this point. :P

Do Vy'keens like other colors than blue ? [Question]

Hi folks ! That's my first post here, I jumped into the game 2 weeks ago, tried it 5 years ago but didnt really enjoyed it. Now, let's be honest, that's a cool game and I'm kinda into it. At some point I started to hunt the perfect ship ofc, with the largest inventory and technology slots possible. The look of it would not be important unless... the blue color. I hate blue, really, that's the worst color I could pick anywhere anytime. Of course the best ship I've found (don't remember where sadly) has the maximum slots and it's kinda perfect (it's a fighter) BUT, it's blue.

​

I tried for hours to find another Vy'keen system to try to spawn another fighter ship with the max slots and I haven't found it yet but all the ships that could be nearly as perfect as the one I have are BLUE. The yellow ones, the red ones (best color) etc have amazing skin but with a small inventory and only one line of technology slots.

​

So here am I folks, does anyone have ever seen a fighter ship with the max inventory and technology slots in a different color than blue ? I'm really trying to find one. Sadly there is no way to change any color of an owned ship and I don't feel it's gonna change anytime soon.

​

Thanks for reading that, and for the help !

Can't become an overseer [Bug]

So I started a new quest line added in frontiers. I received a distress signal and instead of going to a marked beacon, I went to my freighter, and teleported to the Hilbert dimension (I was in the Euclid galaxy). Then, I restarted the mission. And now I have an objective to become an overseer, but I can't! The game keeps saying "Visit the settlement hub interface to take control", but the only option I have is to report the settlement. It seem like im the only one having this problem an it's really is frustrating. I tried everything now, and have no Idea what to do.

[WARNING] Don't play the game right now! [Discussion]

I have played the game for about a month now and am 35 hours in. Never have I experienced a glitch worse than an animal walking through the ground.

But today after downloading the new Frontiers update, I landed on a frigate I had saved and when I was about to enter the captain's room to see if it was better than the frigate I already owned, I fell through the floor. I died and couldn't find the frigate afterwards. I found another frigate however, but that frigate had a huge asteroid stuck inside it which made me float and unable to get back to my ship once I had already gotten out.

Those 20 minutes made me realize that I really didn't have the time to spend on a game that's gonna glitch every time there's an update (which there are quite a lot of).

This game is an awesome concept and I really admire the devs for putting out free updates, but the free updates sadly come with a downside.

It's really a shame as there's nothing that can be done about the glitches as the dev team is so small. And even a big dev team wouldn't be able to find all the glitches every time they update the game.

Base Part Coloring Question [Question]

With the old building method, you could just highlight an already existing base part and change the color or the style. Is that still possible? With the new menu, it feels like changing colors requires deleting the base part and then replacing it with a new part. Also, when I'm sorting through the color menu, I can't actually see how the base part would look until I place it. This seems really inferior to the old way.

I haven't found an enemy yet who can stand more than two seconds of sustained fire with it.

How to shop multiple Settlements on a single planet [Information]

I've done some testing and found you don't have to be content with the first settlement you find after using the Settlement Chart.

Step 1: Purchase a Settlement Chart from the Cartographer on the Space Station.

Step 2: Go to your desired planet and drop a save beacon and save.

Step 3: Use the Settlement Chart

If it doesn't find one on your current planet or if the one it does find isn't to your liking, reload the Manual Save and repeat Step 3.

It seems there are multiple Settlement locations per planet so getting one that is just right for you is likely if you just keep repeating Step 3.

Settlement building timer bug (potential workaround) [Information]

Don't know if this is consistent, but I wasn't getting the building timer bug on my settlement possibly because I usually go to my freighter to save before I log out. I logged back in when I saw all the posts about the settlement timer resetting when people logged back in and mine was just fine. Got an alert to deal with something on my settlement and went down to deal with it. Saved there and logged out again. When I logged back in (just to check again), I got the timer reset bug everyone else seems to be getting. So I went back up to my freighter to save again and logged out and came back a bit later and this time, no timer reset bug.

I don't know if it has to be up on a freighter or off-planet or what, but it does seem like the building timer is less likely to reset if your last save is not in/near your settlement. Haven't done very rigorous testing on that, but maybe it'll work for others. (Either that or the timer reset bug only happens after a couple hours have passed . . . which would really suck.)

Since the new update in no man sky all the old stuff for building has moved to legacy building.

My friend who bought it on steam recently and played it before via the xbox game pass for free. Has bought it after the update, this means he does not have any legacy building recipes.

Is there a way for my friend to learn the legacy recipes for stuff like windows still. Cause both me and my friend like to build bases close to shores but the limited view the new windows have is really bad.

I would have placed the old windows for him if i had the legacy building for them myself, but since his base is made from other materials then mine, and i never bothered to learn the plans for the materials his is build in i also miss that legacy widows that fit for his base.

I get the feeling that HG sorta missed the whole point of time gates in game design [Discussion]

There is a time and place for such things in design that goes beyond just wasting people's time.

Constructive uses for it are either:

a) Short term - make people stick around for a bit, a mandatory mini-break as whatever countdown is ticking down is doing its thing. The first settlement building does that with its <3 minute timer steps. You look around the settlement, take in the scenery, and all that jazz. Given how short it is it usually does not register als negative.

b) Long Term - build anticipation. THIS is where one hour and up timers clock in, but there's just one massive flaw with the current settlement timers: nothing we have seen so for justfies any sort of anticipation. A market building that has zero mechanical functionality? A house for npcs? As a player I couldn't give two shits about that. That's just filler on the side to strech the way to the actually good stuff - which usually is "stuff that allows you to do things that you usually could not do in the game previously".

There sure is quite some potential to what those "new possibility" buildings can be, from building your own portal to production facilities to (and this now is super wishful thinking for future upgrades) a space hangar for spacecraft building. THAT's the sort of stuff I'd consider a few hours worth in building the anticipation, even if it is usually unnecessary to have the timer over a hour.

The ONLY other way where high countdowns would be ok would be "overnight projects". You kick it off before going to bed, and next day you log on happy about your new thing. However, this needs to be stuff one actually looks forward to, instead of "generic random building #324 that increases some internal settlement stat randomy and does nothing for the player".

Also, having zero interaction with said timer is absolutely stupid if you...

Bhop Dash, Guide to the lost tips of travelling faster than normal melee dash boost and potentially faster than your starship [Information]

First shift to run then do the normal melee dash(if you're new and do not know then practice that first), but the difference is you do not hold space but holding it for a second and not pressing q at the start, you HOLD q. This way when you are touching the ground again you immediately melee and you only need to press space again, still holding q and repeat. At which every repeat the speed is maintained and increased

Strafing : hold W in the air if you want to keep your speed, hold S if you want to brake mid air, press W + A/D if you want to strafe mid air.

Below is a video of me demonstrating in low atmosphere planet to show how much I can travel with this technique.

from my starship to 10 minutes away, and you'll see my jetpack isn't even half empty. Full jetpack upgrades.

Now from 10 minutes to my ship.

Very needed advice to maintain and optimize your speed: Practice to do the single melee dash boost first, then when you are good enough with the timing and muscle memory, you can learn the timing about the delay between the repeating melee dash(Q+W, not Q only) so that you can continue melee dashing Do not let go of W when midair, as it will slow you down Do not strafe too hard, or you'll lose big amount of speed while midair You don't need to spam Q when you're at the ground, simply hold Q and when you touch the ground it will melee as soon as your feet touches the ground and you only do the jump part wearing full shield is not optional, but a requirement, it might be a small drop but because of the insane speed you'll lose so much health. Full jetpack tanks are also a fun thing, recommended but not a requirement Don't be too greedy and underestimate the speed, if your...

I've played quite a few factory-builder type games and the early game tends to be almost identical for all of them. Something like collect x metal and build a machine, collect x burnable material to power the machine and then collect x more metal to make something else until eventually you can automate the process.

How many hours does it take for No Mans Sky to really open up? Sorry if the question is a bit vague, I hope it makes sense.

Settlements: The Good, The Bad, and the Poorly Thought-Out [Discussion]

New Building Creation Times: The time that it takes to build up settlements is frankly ludicrous. Having to wait a little over 4 actual hours for 1 building to be made seems crazy and artificially high, especially given that the overseer building took about 5 minutes. That kind of wait time makes sense as long as you have the resources; that's where the time increase should take place, having to explore and find unique and rare minerals to build the base so that way you're doing something and not just literally sitting around.

Citizen Interactability: Another area that kind of misses the mark imo. At first you're able to solve a dispute or two, but even though there are many npc characters walking aroubd, they're practically all useless in terms of unique content. I've tried to talk to almost everyone in my town, and they all respond with a standard 1-2 sentence dialog and my only option is to leave. Why not have a random instance where they mention something they found on the planet and it sends me to a location? Or have them offer me a trade for a rare item? The "status" of each individual is also meaningless since it seems to just randomly change every 5-10 seconds.. Shouldn't their status be an indicator of the kind of dialog you are about to enter into with them? There's none of this context currently. There is so much more depth to be offered here and it feels rather shallow currently.

Settlement Design: This is what HG got the most right with settlements as it stands. Each building despite being procedural feels intentional, and the placement of decor as well as the movement of NPCs within the space feels quite organic and beleivable.

Misc. Suggestions for Improvement: Spitballing some ideas while I explored my settlement, is that it would be so cool to have the ability to rearrange the layout of buildings and create infrastructure such...

I was thinking about the freighter expeditions, there are timers for just about everything else in game, maybe put in a timer for when the next fleet expeditions will be available. Next, would be to please add higher level fleet expeditions. Also, it could be added to be able to interact with the fleet expedition or something, maybe be able to watch the expedition.

Settlement running smoothy [Question]

Are people still stuck in the "running smoothly" loop? I just started my settlement today, built an office and an ore processing plant, settled a couple disputes, made a couple decisions, but nothing since finishing the plant. How long is it supposed to take before we are allowed to construct a new building? Currently I am in debt and my production rate is somewhat below the cost of running the settlement.

Tip for forcing settlements to appear on planets of your choice [Information]

Buy a few settlement charts from the cartographer in any space station. Stand on the planet you wish for the planetary settlement to be. Make sure to save before the next step. Use the charts until a settlement appears on the planet you are on. If you didn't get any settlements on the planet you wish from the previous step, reload the save and repeat until you get a settlement on the planet you wish.

This works. I just tried it out and got a settlement to appear on the paradise planet that my base was on.

Had my Paradise Planet… and lost it. Don’t make my mistake [Discussion]

Like so many of my fellow travelers , I’m spending countless hours of searching for the one true home of homes. One that I discovered and can take care.

Well at some point yesterday I had my planet. Blue & beautiful with some water and no sentinel activity. I flew over it for just a few seconds, decided I’m to land to claim it then CRASH. The game crashed on my playstation and it was over. I didn’t think about until after my rage/ big baby act that I could have looked at the video that system sends for report or hit the share button to record the last 5 minutes of play. I say that to say , don’t panic or rage if this happens to you. Calmly assess the situation and use the records to your advantage. Wish me luck.

Try not to be too salty guys, to me Sean did a miracle and here is why [Discussion]

The anticipation grew day by day, the fan were waiting, thousands of thousand of space travelers were ready to live the new magic stuff in their favorite space game.

Sure, the immediate release was rough to say the least, but in the end it was kinda sorted out, and now it's impossible to deny that it's a true, deep and meaningful experience. The sense of accomplishment and the chill of traversing the deep space is always there, no matter what.

Thank you, Sean. With this shallow update which - another time - added just a bunch of visual objects with no gameplay purpose you made me want to go back to Elite Dangerous.

And I have to play with a dual shock because the hotas is broken.

And is still Horizons since I'm a console pleb.

Good lord, Frontier (no pun intended) is slow as a turtle but they know how to push features that add depth to the gameplay (mining asteroids you said?).

Can you override the intelligent building parts? [Question]

First of all, the concept of the parts is great and produces some nice designs. But it's a step back in one respect.

I want to build a multi-floored house with some glass external walls to take advantage of the view. On the ground floor I get normal large window panels. But on the next floor up, I get partially obstructed panels so can't see much of the view. It thinks because it has a panel stacked on another that it needs to use a different panel.

Is there anyway to change the panel, or force a panel type? The only workaround I can find it not snapping the panels on top of each other - but then it's a pain to build anything.

How do I calculate how many more plants I need to plant relative to a plant that grows faster in order to have the same yield from all of them within the time of the plant that takes longer to grow? [Question]

That's a mouthful of a question but basically I am starting a farm between four different plants, cactus flesh, solanium, frost crystal, and star bulb but they all grow at different time intervals and have different yields. If I were to actively watch the farm and collect the plants as soon as they are ready I want to know how many I have to plant of each plant to get the same amount of yield within a certain amount of time, say 16 hours since that's the longest grow time of all the plants.

I probably won't actively be gathering for 16 hours straight but it want to know how many of each plant I'd need to plant in order to have the same yield so that if I want to actively farm a lot one day then I can get the maximum yield for all of them instead of ending up with a lot more of the plants that grow faster.

With Roads of Solid....Activated Indium? [Suggestion]

Imagine this...You look into the distance, a massive pyre shimmers a vibrant dark blue in the distance, you move closer to the mirage with your exocraft. Then the terrain gets flat, and you realize you're driving across a solid, red activated cadmium surface, its ridges reflected red light across the landscape, shimmering as you move towards the pyre.

​

Soon you reach it, and at its base is a small cabin and landing pad surrounded in shiny gold surface. You summon your ship and take off from the planet, spinning around towards the planet to reveal...

​

a giant golden smile made completely out of a Gold Resource Deposit.

​

"How was this done though" you ask yourself?

​

Well, it was done with a setting on the Terrain manipulator called the "Insert" mode. Basically, you're able to use a large amount of a resource to 'relocate' resource deposits you find on the surface of planets, into patterns you can use in your bases.

​

But Why though?

For one thing, it'd make stuff a lot more shiny.

Second, It seems like it would be fairly simple to balance, as it's a one-one conversion from what you mine to what you'd place

It might be able to be used quite well when inserted into builds, adding a large amount of creativity into the mix.

Reloading a save while a settlement building is under construction reduces construction time [Bug]

I've been trying to get an S class fighter to kill time while waiting for the settlement to finish construction.

During two separate 4 hour build stages, I reloaded an autosave on a space station in a separate system. Both times, this reduced the timer by exactly two hours. This did not occur more than once per build stage, and it only occurred on the first reload in a separate system. I reloaded a couple times in the system that the settlement is in before leaving, and it did not affect the timer.

My second question is how do I get expedition rewards from the quicksilver synthesis companion? I figured maybe if I did 3 or 4 nexus missions than maybe I could complete expedition 1 phase 1 and get a reward. I still have not unlocked any rewards for any of the phases. Am I supposed to just keep doing more missions for the nexus or am I supposed to do something else?

Can't find last water creature on several planets, despite being an experienced, day one player who could find them all before Origins. What am I doing wrong? Or is there a bug? [Question]

I didn't get to play much after Origins dropped due to IRL responsibilities, but I'm loving all the new creature stuff that was added. One problem I've found is that I just can't seem to find the last aquatic creature on a lot of planets, and I'm not sure why. It's always one that is listed as a common body type, always active, found globally. I don't know when this started, but I'm guessing with Origins. I noticed it when I was able to start playing again, right before Frontiers dropped.

I've spent over 3 hours in real life hours searching one planet for the missing beast, searching in shallow and deep waters. I know a bunch of cave creatures tend to spawn in the terrain, so I've been looking under the seabed too. I spent so much time there I found the cable pods that are a rare underwater spawn...three times in three separate places. I've killed I don't know how many horrors and gathered so many hypnotic eyes that I ran out of ways to cook them all, but still no last creature. Almost all of the last few planets with aquatic life have had the same problem, even though I've found the jellyfish, the schools of fish that count as one creature, the crabs that walk on the seafloor, the rare spawn and body type predatory loner shark, the social eels, the angelfish, the anglerfish, the swordfish. The new, higher nanite reward for finding all the creatures is amazing, and not being able to find this one type of creature on so many planets is frustrating! What am I missing or doing wrong?

I got places to go and things to do! [Discussion]

I have over 11,000 hours in No Man's Sky via Steam. I started playing about nine months after the initial release. I didn't really follow any gaming news up until then so I did not learn of NMS until I stumbled upon it in Reddit. I read about the horrible initial release and the anger of the community due, I think, largely because of unmet expectations. However, I was really intrigued by the grandeur of the vision of the game. I was willing to pay the $40-$60 just to see what it looked like so my expectations were pretty limited. The game play was okay but the beauty of the game was just amazing. Furthermore, because of the grand vision of the game, a whole universe, I was enthralled at the sheer potential the game had.

I have for years joked with my friends that "boring, mindless tedium is my middle name". NMS was right up my alley. My game play is really unimaginative at best. I play mostly for the stunning space and planetary views. I love going on walkabouts. The only bases I build are the initially required one and a few others just for locating resources. Early on I did build big, square, open, functional buildings for my farm. My building style for my farm was based upon the warehouse in which Jesse was enslaved at the end of Breaking Bad. Once we were able to build farms on freighters I ditched making farms on land. From then on I built big, square, open, functional farms in my freighter. I would usually have about 350-400 plants of all types.

At some point I realized I could make the walls and ceiling in my freighter farm out of glass. In terms of size, my freighter farm was about 12x12 freighter rooms. Walls were three panels high. The walls and ceiling were made of glass, not viewing ports, but glass. My god it was absolutely gorgeous. I could stand in my farm and look up at the planets and stars. The lighting that filtered through the dark glass from the...

Brainstorming Active Play Approaches to Passive Features [Discussion]

Two of the more recent content updates to No Man's Sky, Companions, & this week, Frontiers, have added some interesting new features to the game, ways to collect a few fauna and overseeing a settlement respectively. However, both of these features have a passive side to them with no other ways to interact or advance them. Settlements, it seems, much more than companions.

As more of a sandboxy game, this feels counter to the spirit of the game, of finding your own approach to things & taking things at your own pace, and more than that, skips out on interesting gameplay opportunities. Yet this isn't limited to just these two more recent features, it's been gradually creeping into the rest of the game since growing crops, autonomous mining units, & atmosphere harvesters were added. It's worked its way into base specialist missions, turning in milestone data to Polo, entire new mission chains built around do a bit then come back later/tomorrow (Base Computer Archives & Starbirth), as well as other now slightly older "new" features like frigate expeditions.

What's more, as egg sequencing from Companions & settlements from Frontiers have shown us, the introduction of passive features is showing no sign of abating. If one enjoys these as they are, this isn't a thread about removing them or compelling you to have to play more frequently, but brainstorming other ways to actively play with these features, and to play at your pace.

Let's take settlements as the most current example. Right now, bugs notwithstanding, there's next to no interaction with settlers. You do some of the initial tasks, then you just do whatever else until it pings you again about some new request or dispute.

Here's a possible active play approach:

You add dialog options to the settlers, this lets you get to know them more and gives them more personality so later decisions can...

Hello Games, Sean, please, stop with the timers [Suggestion]

You’re ruining what used to be a good game. Just stop. Let people experience the game at their own pace. The only other games that do this time-gating BS are mobile games and MMO’s, and they only do it to sell microtransactions. You’re not trying to sell microtransactions, so you have no reason to time-gate.

Games are for playing, not for clicking a button and waiting 4 hours while the game plays itself. Sincerely, one of the five people who actually liked No Man’s Sky when it first came out.

A long-ago decision [Question]

So, after getting back into NMS recently, I want to revisit an old issue with my account. When they first added the Atlas questline, the final option was the choice of whether to birth a new star. If you chose that, you got the Star Seed blueprint, but if you chose against making a new star you got nothing. I've heard conflicting information on whether you're supposed to be able to re-do this quest, so I'm asking to hopefully cement it: Is it possible for me to obtain the Star Seed blueprint after having declined it originally, or am I stuck without it?

Frontiers missed the mark [Suggestion]

While they did a lot of cool things, I think the settlement system was the one thing with real potential to contribute to end-game play.

However, they failed to think about players already in the end-game which is 95% of the population of NMS. Waiting 1.5 hours for 1/3 of a building to complete, and only getting to start maybe one building per day insists upon more of my time than I care to give this game, even as much as I enjoy it. If I wanted to play a city builder sim with building times and cooldowns I would download the latest freemium junk builder on my iphone.

There is absolutely zero sense in the fact that a building takes 3 x 1.5 hours to build, when I could manually replicate an entire settlement in 30 minutes.

Why did the developers do this? In my opinion there seems to be two options:

  1. The timing is simply just a mechanism to make it feel like more content and there is more to do, in which it is an extremely bad idea

  2. The timing is meant to make it so that settlements aren't overwhelming -- if you are in end game, and weren't interested in settlements, you wouldn't want a settlement pinging you every 5 minutes with a new task. This is a fair point, but completely destroys a game mechanic you just invested a ton of time to build.

In my opinion, two things would make this release significantly better:

  1. Unlimited settlements - if you could manage multiple settlements, then having a timer is not so big a deal. If you feel like managing 5, 10, 15, or even more settlements, you can build them to your hearts content. This way players can enjoy the content without being able to progress too quickly. The alternative to this would be streams of settlement decisions - 10 or 15 minutes, not 1.5 hours and no other events.

  2. Automated or paused settlements - if you would rather just enjoy one or two settlements and not try to engross yourself in the...

How soon can I switch to a different settlement? [Question]

I logged on today for the first time in a while to check out the update. Got a message when I flew into space to go help some folks on another planet. Flew there and ended up kicking off the whole Overseer/Settlement thing, however...

It's on a planet with hateful sentinels, so I am constantly fighting the sentinels on the planet to do damn near anything. Land at settlement -> fight sentinels -> eventually hide until they go away -> run the the settlement spot to deposit materials -> fight sentinels -> etc., etc. -- After reading a bit I know that there are sentinels as part of the whole settlement thing, and I fought a wave of them during the initial stages of talking to the settlement dwellers, but I think what I am dealing with at this point is regular ol' planet sentinels most of the time; they aggro on me, I kill them, they call more, my wanted rating goes up and harder waves show up... you know, that whole song and dance. Anyhow, constantly fighting/hiding/getting attacked while trying to talk to NPOC/etc. is way more of a PITA than it is fun/interesting, so I am wondering when I can bail on this settlement and look for one on a planet that has less angry & persistent sentinels.

Series X

I cant even start my first settlement. I go to the mission area it’s telling me to, but it’s literally dead in the water from there. It tells me to go to the “Settlement Hub Interface” to apply to be overseer… but I can’t. I only have to option to report the settlement for an offensive name and it says it’s another player’s settlement (which is false, it’s a planet I just discovered and was the first contact to the system). Talking to the settlers does the usual dialogue of being interrupted by the sentinels… but nothing happens. no sentinels spawn and it’s just an endless loop of frustration/confusion.

S-class power hotspot in the middle of town! [Discussion]

So I went looking for a paradise planet in Eissentam. Focusing on yellow star systems, found one after a few jumps. Landed and burned a cartography map. Ha! Found a settlement.

Took ownership, transferring from my first settlement, and built my office. Then, you know, nothing (please fix this, HG.)

While I waited, thought I’d look around and see what was in the area. Oooh, an S-class EM spot. Where is it? Holy crap, it’s under the building next to the Overseer’s Office!

So I set down a base computer put in the surrounding hills, and extended its radius back towards town. Then I tested building an EM generator on the roof of the building over the hotspot. It worked!

Since the building looks like a construction site, I took it down so it doesn’t mess anything up should the settlement progression get fixed. Hopefully soon I’ll be able to build a a giant glowing tower over the town to power my expensive Overseer’s mansion.

Get all quicksilver objects in one day (below 1.200 mercury credits) creativemode/saveslots/weekend missions method (go quick!) [Information]

Ok, as you can see in no man's sky web, 'all non consumable quicksilver purchases are treated as account wide data than tied to a specific save slot'. That does mean than you can get all >1.200 value objects in few hours. How? All we know we can save up to 15 games slot in no man's sky.

Follow these steps:

create up to 14 game slots in creative mode (leave 1 for you main save game)

in every game slot go to the nexus and do the weekend mission. You will get 1.200 credits in each save slot. (In every creative saved game, this does mean you dont need to farm anything, get the ship, get out of the planet, summon nexus and begin weekend mission, do the mission, come back and delivery your bones)

go and buy anything up to 1.200 value and save the game.

that thing that you buy, it will appear unlocked in every game slot you have (14 slots + your main game)

so you will be able to unlock most of the catalogue below 1.200 credits and use it in your main saved game (lets say normal, survival or permadeath)

repeat the process in every 14 creative mode save slot and buy different things.

go to your main save slot.. everything you bought is unlocked 🤣

ps: you can do it in daily missions in order to save more credits for buying articles above 1.200 credits. But that is very risky, the more days you spend doing it, the quicker hellogames is gonna fix it. My advice is do it for articles 1.200 value or below.

Be quick, hellogames is gonna fix this soon

A proof that it is working (in Spanish)

Loaded into the game with a song that I thought was amazing, it wasn't one of the songs on the 65DaysofStatic album or a song on Paul Weir's SoundCloud, I'm wondering if anyone had a list of all the startup songs so that I could find it. Thanks!

Been gone for a while and I see they added expeditions. I thought a new one dropped recently but on the main menu is says expedition complete. Am I missing something?

Previous Expedition Rewards [Question]

I know that before Frontiers came out, it was possible to edit your save file to give yourself the rewards from previous expeditions, but it seems like with the new update that way has broken/changed. Does anyone know how I could get the rewards back now?

How long would it take me to farm 80k nanites? [Question]

I found the perfect looking ship very early on in my playtime but it's class B. I read that it takes 25k to go from B to A and another 50k to go from A to S. If I wanted to take this ship from B to S how long do you guys think it would take me?

I'm asking because you can only have 6 ships at a time and if it's going to take a ridiculously long time to upgrade this one then I'll just scrap it and keep my eye out for something similar and higher class later on.

Unfinished? [Question]

Anyone else feel like the new update is incredibly unfinished and super buggy? Also what exactly do you do with the towns? I’ve built a couple things and now there’s nothing to do…. Oh and I got the famous blue screen 6 times within 4 hours…

How to take care of neural stem? [Question]

How do I take care of the neural stem I just got? It says it's fragile and requires careful attendance and I really don't want it to die but I don't know what it needs. All I'm shown is some long timer.

i think the game really need some form of automaation [Suggestion]

so, i need tons resources for various builds, so i have several mining stations set up but a few of the resources mined from them (activated emeril, rusted metal, etc) need to be refined before i can use them and its super ultra boring waiting for these refiners to finish so i can put in the next load of materials.

why cant we just have something like the hoppers from minecraft so the resource goes from the mining machine to the refiner, and is then put into the storage silo when its finished

and building on top of that, how awesome and satisfying would it be to have a massive factory set up to automatically build something? imagine how useful that would be if we could have automated crafting, more resource gathering (not limited to mining and gass), and refining.

​

also please do not tell me to go play satisfactory, if i wanted to play that i wouldnt be playing no mans sky

When should I upgrade to a better ship? [Question]

I just started the game. I just did the mission where you install a hyperdrive on your ship. Currently I am wondering when I should upgrade to a better ship, as the starter one is weak and kinda ugly. Should I wait awhile? Also what is the best method of finding a good ship? Should I buy one at a space station/outpost or should I find a crashed one?

What's the benefit of higher grade settlements? [Question]

I started working on the first settlement the game gave me and it's a C class. I figured I'd learn the ropes of settlement development on this before venturing out for "better" grade settlements.

But what does the grade of the settlement do? It's not like it gets more inventory slots or upgrade slots like all the other graded items in the game. Can I upgrade my C class to an S on my own?

Does anyone know how many facilities there are no build in settlements? [Question]

I'm sure someone has found a way to get around the timer wait and have maxed out their settlement. Due to bugs, I've only been able to build a launch pad and overseer building over the last couple days. I'm wondering how much stuff their is to build in a settlement. I'm currently building a super base right next to it and would like to plan accordingly to match some of the content that the settlements have. Does someone have a list of what all gets added to a settlement when it's finished?

Can't talk to Travelers. [Question]

I've built a base, I've outfitted my ship. My next goal is to find and power up a Portal.

First step, glyphs.

I've searched all morning, and only found one person that looks like a Traveler (at least on the NMS wiki) but when I go up to him, there's no prompt to talk to him. I can interact/talk to everything else on the Station.

I've searched, and found that others have this problem, but I've seen no solution. Can anyone help?

How "lonely" can the game still be? [Question]

Hey guys! I played around up until the Next update and then fell off to play some other games and now I'm excited to jump back in.

I love the multiplayer stuff on occasion but for the most part I actually really liked exploring systems on my own and discovering systems and planets for the first time.

I loved the isolation and the "single-player, solo" aspect a lot.

Is that still a thing? If I start from zero will it dump me far away from everyone else and I can kind of keep it like that for a while?

I never really progressed inward a ton or in the story much cause I liked hanging back and doing my own thing and only going to a new system once I really felt like I had done everything in the previous one. Does the game get more crowded the more you explore?

Or are you more in control of that than I'm assuming?

Appreciate any thoughts

Ship inventory bug [Bug]

So i scrapped ships on a trade station as you do, and when i tried to get back to my own ship(Exotic S class with full inventory upgrade) the game loaded an old hauler i got and simply saved over my S class ship inventory with the haulers. I tried to ALT+F4 before it saved over but it was too late. Now the old hauler is gone, the ship i scrapped before is still there and my S class ship is now an unusable old B class with the skin of the S class Exotic. Nice bug there.

Settlement Debt [Bug]

So the productivity in my settlement is 202,081 units, my maintenance is 94,390, a +107,691 net gain. I have been watching my current debt decrease 1 unit roughly every 7 seconds, which translates to roughly 12,343 units in a 24 hour span. That math doesn’t add up, already dealing with embezzlement issues from the slimy geks?

Hard time figuring out new building controls. Help? [Question]

Ok, so maybe I'm just a little slow, but I can't get the hang of the new controls for base building... Especially colors... I play on PC, but with an Xbox controller, and so everytime I select a color I'm pushing the button but then the only button I can push after choosing is B. But that just cancels it... I don't know what to do.

Help with fleet command station [Question]

Coming back after a while away...max freighter hyperdrive range [Question]

I've been away for a bit and come back to check out the cities update. After some digging I found out a maxed out S class freighter should have a range of ~6000 but mine has only 4500. Is it because I got it a LONG time ago?

Also, if I get a new one, will I have to find all the upgrades from derelict freighters again or can I move them over?

Advice needed (or bug) - can no longer buy frigates. [Question]

For some reason I can't buy any more frigates. No HUD indicators show up.

https://imgur.com/kVDi2dL

I used to be able to buy them up until a multi freighter raid I did to harvest freighter upgrade modules. I read that doing so reduces your standing with the particular race. What is confusing is that my standing looks fine with all three races - I am a humble Trade Lord with the Gek.

https://imgur.com/5qqyERm

So is this a bug? I've since offered about 15 gifts and done a bunch of missions with no change. I note that my standing increases after I do so.

Help!

My opinion on the recent frontiers update. Cheers. [Discussion]

So, it's fantastic. For me, even taking out the settlements all together. And you still have a solid update. However, there are problems on my end. Keeping in mind, it's all good news except for the bad news.

I have more then one Perma death character. I was playing my second made, with about 180 hours. And experienced a terrible glitch that killed me.

After said and done, i switched to another character and all of my multi tool components are deleted and I have to scramble.

This said, I'm bummed out. But enjoying the update. Cheers, thanks for reading.

Current state of multiplayer? [Question]

Me and my friend tried around No Mans Sky 6 months ago but gave up due to going crazy over how multiplayer works. I can't remember exactly but I know that all we wanted to do was to share a base and build some cool things together. I think we couldn't do that while the other one was offline or something strange.

And we also tried some MP missions together but it just bugged the hell out with spawns being under the bases in the ground and things like that.

So I wonder, how is the state of multiplayer today? And is it possible to achieve what we are seeking in NMS?

A suggestion to keep the game lively? [Suggestion]

Hi,

As a valheim player here, I feel we need something consistent to keep us on our toes on certain planets. Much like "events" in valheium, sometimes shit breaks loose to stop stagnentation of the gameplay loop. So a suggestion could be : The planet also has "super aggressive sentinels" or "pirate activity" detected planetside, rather than just in space. This would mean on that planet, you can be actively attacked by those ship that land. NPC's with blasters etc could wipe you if you do not defend. This is the same for sentinels. Not just roaming ones looking for people terraforming, but actively come to hunt you. Raids. Raiding other settlements (not PVP) and take them over. Can also be multiplayer shared. Horde horrors - Like starship troopers, once your base is upgraded with enough stuff in it, horrors could spawn and you need to kill them.

For all of this, new building parts such as lazer turrents and defensive stuff could be deployed that run on ion batteries or carbon or something.

They could be timed events with despawn or just numbers of enemies till dead. They could even destroy components on your base the high level the planet aggression.

Of course these planets would also come with massive perks such as frost crystals, iridium or alot of modules of what not. And players would be WELL aware what they are getting into.

Just a thought...
