Frontiers is something I have waited a long time for. Only one suggestion however.. [Discussion]

Just as in the way that another towns' Overseer can arrive, baring gifts to exchange, so too should the player be able to be assigned to traverse the planet to a neighbouring town. in order to perform the same activity in return. Choosing to steal or be forceful may present possible conflicts between towns as well. This may help improve the sense of community and civilization across the world, in addition to promoting terrestrial exploration.

Light Box/Light floor issues [Question]

So no matter what color I select for my light box or light floor, its always this shitty light blue. If i select a color before or after I place it doesn't matter, its always blue. Aren't we supposed to be able to change the color the box emits?? Am I missing something obvious here?

Freighter wreck atmosphere inconsistency? [Discussion]

Does it bug anyone else how when you land on a freighter wreck you can run around as pretty much normal like theres almost an atmosphere.

And then the moment you step into the place.. "OoHh look we can only move slow because the atmospheres gone so its like were in space! ...yet ive just strolled in from space and it wasnt like this lol.

Im surprised this hasnt been addressed before.

How can frontiers create bugs to stuff that isnt frontier related? [Question]

I have seen a vew posts now (and experianced a vew myself) of bugs that have nothing to do with anything frontiers related.

A vew examples:

Our ship ai gets weird when calling it in.

Ships cant find the landingpad when teleporting to our base.

The nexus flooting quicksilver symbols are extreemly shoppy.

In spacestations there is a flying cube of light at the exo suit dealer.

Multitools can bug out.

Bases on islands are suddenly flooting in air and the island dissapeared.

And so on...

I know codes can do weird things as i have done a bit of coding myself as a webseveloper, in flash games and in dreams(ps4 creating game).

But the code are always in sort of sections, like a code section related to multitools normally is only affecting multitools and not suddenly in conflict with a spaceship a.i.

So unless they are adding more code in secret to add another update related to these things i dont understand why there is suddely a cube in spacestations flying in circles in spacestations.

I mean to make a stationairy object nove you need to add a code to that object.

So can someone explain this?

Recent ideas to add onto the base game [Suggestion]

I've been playing No Man's Sky recently, and I had some ideas that I thought of suggesting to the zendesk. I will try to explain what they do and why they should be added for clarity. I wanted to drop it here on Reddit just to see if anyone agrees with them or if they should be revised.

Warning: Huge wall of text starting.

Alpha predator Creatures:

I would like more variety in how predator creatures attack their prey or explorers. Here are a handful that I can think of that would make sense in a science fiction setting:

Acid/Fire/Irradiated Sonic booms/liquid nitrogen spitting projectiles from their alien organs that, depending on the type I listed, would cause negative effects towards the player. Acid would significantly blind the player and would cause damage over time. Fire would be sprayed out in an area, forcing the player to move away or continue burning. Irradiated Sonic booms would deafen and push the player at extreme speed to make them take damage similar to falling damage. And liquid nitrogen would slow players down significantly or freeze their legs in place. Upgraded environment shields will help lessen these effects, but they will still do full damage unless you also have damage shield upgrades. These effects would also be much more dangerous during a storm as they amplify their lethal power. These creatures would only be encountered on extreme planets, so that players that start a new save aren't killed without the necessary tools to survive against said creatures.

As a throwaway idea, they could also offer valuable organs that could be sold or used as crafting materials for an item, multi-tool or what have you. Maybe even potentially another way to add technology to living ships.

I was also thinking about creatures that can telepathically manipulate your movement to stand still so they can rip you into shreds, or drag you into a...

Save Beacon Disappears [Bug]

I’ve been having a problem with the Save Beacon, most of the time (not all though) when I place a Save Beacon, it instantly disappears and I have to make another one. I know they are very simple to make but it is really annoying, constantly having to make a new one. Anyone else having this problem?

If you physically turn around in VR does it turn your character model? [Question]

I've never been able to test this but I've always wondered, since your HUD is always static. I have a habit of turning myself to look at things but I never know if other players can see it.

P.S. I hope there's a big VR update someday that adds QOL options like putting the HUD on your hand, or just anchoring it to your face so you can turn. And HMD movement, please.

A small nitpick with the new update [Discussion]

I have personally been really enjoying the latest update, but there has been one thing irking me for a bit. Why are we no longer able to learn the legacy building sets? I still needed a few parts from them, and now it feels as if I have missed out. Especially since there really was no warning that they were going to be removed, so I could not prepare either. idk, I just don't understand why you cannot learn them anymore, I feel like that was a bit of a miss, and I really do hope that the ability to learn legacy blueprints from the legacy building sets is added in a future patch because right now it is leaving a bit of a bad taste in my mouth. I don't really like complaining or anything, but this has just really been bugging me since the update came out.

"No connection to matchmaking services" [Bug]

I bought 2 copies of NMS for my girlfriend and myself just so we can play together. We live in the same house and we use the same wifi router.

Whenever we try to join each other's game, we get "No connection to matchmaking services".

I've tried googling for solutions, but there's no real solution.

Please help.

frigates in deadlock [Bug]

I started a fifth fleet mission even though I only had four fleet command rooms. Now it is impossible to get the debriefing with these two frigates. I have tried with the construction of ten more fleet command rooms to achieve them. In vain. In my frigate list both of them are waiting for the debriefing and it is also impossible to release them.

The misery happened on Thursday with update 3.6 without any further patch. After the patch it was no longer possible to start missions without fleet command rooms (all this on PS4pro). How do I get my frigates back?

#

Is anyone out there? [Question]

I've been playing for 2 weeks and I haven't come across any players in the game. No players in the anomaly ethier is there anyway to fix this?

#

Frontiers performance issues [Question]

So, I still play on Ps4 Slim (can't find Ps5). Clearly I don't expect to have high performance, however with the latest update it has become really laggy. But looking on Youtube for videos of other people with the Ps4 slim it seems that it runs well. What can it be ?

Could it be that i have my Hard Disk nearly full ?

Is it normal to have no Crossplay option on PC? [Question]

Started a new save on pc, I’m about 2 hours in. Whenever I load in the game gives me a message about only playing with other pc played because crossplay is disabled, but when I check the network settings, I have no option to turn it on? Thanks for any help

#

Lost building progress? [Bug]

I'm fairly newish to NMS and have around 30 hours in so forgive me if this is not a bug.

I spent hours grinding the resources needed to build a spaceport on my settlement as I really loved this new update. Soon after I started building, I saved my game and came back after 5-6 hours to see that the building progress has reset.

I thought I was going crazy and maybe I forgot to save the game so I built it again. Since it takes 4 hours and it was getting late at night, I logged in today to see the progress has reset again and I lost my hard earned resources as well.

I saved the game in a space station this time just to be sure I wasn't going crazy.

I am sad and angry because the Armonia(?) or whatever it's called took me hours to grind and I got lucky at the end with my last warp cell to find a scorched planet.

I have started to build it again but I'm running out of cobalt now.

Waiting for settlements Builduings [Discussion]

Hello Everyone I really liked the new update! It’s as promising as it sounds. I only have one issue and I was wondering if I was the only one ? Why do we have to wait for the settlements buildings to finish??? What about the good old days when you collect the materials needed to build and BHAM your building is done?? Now the settlements feel like a cheap mobile harvesting game where you have to connect every hour to check on the advancement of your building…. Are they going to make us pay to accelerate the building process??? What do you think?

#

What benefits do settlements provide? [Question]

The biggest thing I was hoping for in the new update was building pieces, and FANTASTIC, got a pile of those! I finally found a planet I want to call home, and I've been holding off setting up a base till this update came out in case it gave us new base parts.

Okay so settlements, I'm really glad this is in there so space feels less empty and it feels like there are little mos eisleys spread around but...why do I want one? Not a troll question, I just wanna know, whats the tradeoff with these things? Do I have to babysit it every few days? (Sometimes I go weeks without playing) What benefit do settlements produce?

Thanks.

Switching galaxies fixed the progression bug for me. [Information]

No experimental builds for me, I just switched galaxies and it refreshed everything for my galaxy and my settlement came back to life just like that, headed back and continued on my way after waiting days for it to change lmaoooooo. instant fix, literally. i hope others are as lucky as i am with this fix!!

A little help please? [Bug]

My main story quest 16/16 is bugged and I can’t seem to progress further. I’m at the point where it says ‘ activate a portal …. Follow the portal leylines to the source of the energy surge’

I have no quest marker to know where to go for the quest if it is portal specific… I have activated 4 diffrent portals now and nothing. I have no idea where the planet where I first received this quest is located as I have played ALOT since. Wondering if anyone can help please… TIA

How do i get oxygen? [Question]

I just starter a new Dave file after a yrar of not playing and i got spawned ion a planet with radiation. Now the problem is that I need 20 oxygen but I have gone around roughly 600 of the game measuring unit and have yet to find any oxygen. And I always die when I go that far because of my life support system that also needs oxygen.

#

What stuff can you do aside from exploration and building? [Question]

I feel a bit lost coming back to the game after the update (last time I played was NEXT) and I’m not sure if there is a way to know what else can you do. I’ve done all the story quests ( Artimis and atlas I think) and I feel bored from only exploring and building, any suggestions on what else I can do?

#

Need ideas for unit grinding [Question]

Please help! Frontiers content won’t start for me! [Question]

Hey travelers, any assistance would be greatly appreciated. From what I’ve read / watched, the frontiers content starts with a transmission you receive in space. Well I’ve travelled through multiple star systems and have completed loads of the standard missions etc, but still nothing. I bought several settlement maps from the cartographer and still nothing. The signal pings as it always does but no waypoint comes up. Me and the Mrs seriously want to check out the new settlements but it’s like it’s just not there for us. Has anyone had the same issue? Does anyone know how to fix this?

Frontier Settlement Locations [Information]

Found myself a little disappointed with the update, love the concept and would really like to play with it, but can't find a good settlement.

I've spent the last two days exploring looking for a settlement on a beautiful planet, dozens of systems visited and planets scanned.

Eventually, this afternoon, I found a wonderful lush planet, with abundant trees, green glowing grass and plenty of wildlife. Except, there isn't a single Frontier Settlement on the entire planet. Plenty of other inhabited buildings, but not the new settlement.

In the system there is one other planet, a boiling mess with constant storms, sparse flora and almost not fauna. Yet it is riddled with Frontier Settlements, all my Navigation Data is gone now.

I can understand dead worlds and uninhabited systems not having them, but I expected inhabited lush planets to definitely have them.

Base radius expansion [Question]

Is the old trick to expand a base radius still working? I am trying the old trick of placing a part down at the perimeter, but the menu just closes the build part and reverts to the non base menu.

#

Lost ship [Question]

On one of the planets I found wrecked space ship It looked like long bus or something unfortunately planet has hostile sentinels so I gleed from planet without leaving costume way point aka I can't find spaceship again (spent 2 hours) Is there anyway to receive coordinates of ship so I can rebuild it? Or is is lost and I have to find it by just roaming the planet?

@ 19:00 I finally got off the planet, what an AMAZING experience in VR!!! [Information]

https://www.twitch.tv/badsoggywaffle/v/1135469536?sr=a&t=1176s

So first things first, I didn't know you could put a VR Mode window and that's why it looks weird. I watched Internet Historians video in the last 6 or so years that's all I seen on No Man's Sky (NMS).

I was overwhelmed by the game mechanics at first but once I knew what to do, I fell in love with it because it just made sense and actually is easy to use.

I think there needs to be more storms! I love getting the adrenaline of trying to get home or finding a cave once a weather report comes in.

Uhhhh....well for now that's it because I haven't gotten that far but these are my first impressions and I am fucking in love with this game.

Hello Games you did an amazing job with this and thank you for putting your nose to the grindstone and getting it done 👍🏻

#

Where did the movement remaps for exocraft go? [Question]

Trying to play the new update and I notice they have changed the way some remaps work (my ship's quick menu wasn't working--it would always select the action to the right of what I was trying to select). After resetting everything and remapping everything again (I seem to have to do this after every major update, it's getting annoying), I noticed there are no exocraft movement remaps. Huh? Are you telling me I need to use WASD to move in an exocraft? I'm left-handed, I don't use WASD.

What happened to the exocraft movement remaps?

#

Landing Pad bug? [Question]

Since the update I have noticed that whenever I teleport into a base that has a landing pad my ship will be next to the base computer instead of on the landing pad as is usually the case. Seems like a bug but wanted to see if this is an issue for others before I report it.

#

Settlements questions [Question]

Hi, just started playing again after the new update and I have some questions about it.

Can you have multiple settlements? If so, how many at a time?

Are we allowed to build our base in/near our settlement or will that cause issues for the buildings around it/ the buildings you build via the command area later on?

Do you need to build a portal to your settlement yourself or will it get one later on?

Can I change/add parts to already existing buildings?

#

Where do I find activated Copper? [Question]

I have around 10 hours in the game and i found an abandoned space ship and claimed it but some parts require me to have activated copper and i dont know where to find it. I checked the wiki but that didnt help me either really.

#

Why have they forgotten us? [Answered]

Seeing the new update gives me the impression that Hello Games has released thinking about new players who have no building experience and barely have credits.

But he asked me. Why have they forgotten us? Yes, the most veteran players that we have hundreds of hours of play, that we have created all kinds of bases, that we have activity in all game modes and that we have amassed a significant fortune.

If then this new update limits us in every way. Well, we have to put together the things they tell us and when they tell us.

Where were those times where one could choose what to do when creating their foundation? And why do I have to wait for him to tell me what to do if I want something different in my settlement?

Of course I can't help but mention how boring it is to wait almost 12 hours for a simple platform to build. When at that time I could have built a gigantic mine somewhere in the galaxy.

Those who have enough time playing and enjoying the way in which No man's sky let our imagination fly will understand me at this point.

I really hope Hello Games will come to its senses. Break these shackles with which you have limited us to the most veteran.

In the meantime I can say I've had enough of the settlements for now.

By the way, I'd like to hear the opinion of other veterans.

See you soon travelers.

A fruitless expedition [Question]

#

Cannot use teleporter to warp to Freighter? [Discussion]

I built a teleporter on my freighter thinking I can use it to warp to my resource farm and back again quicker than using the space stations. I can warp out to the farm fine, but upon trying to make the return journey I realised that even though I have a working teleporter on my freighter, it's not listed as a destination anywhere in the teleporter menu. Am I just not able to warp onto it? Or is there something I can do? If not I don't get why I can build it there in the first place.

#

Supply Depot empties whenever I alt-tab/ leave the game/warp [Bug]

This one is weird and kind of mood-breaking. I built an activated indium farm, S class hotspot, 4 extractors on 8 levels by stacking them together. Then I added 20 supply depots to each 4 extractors in order to collect it, powered by ~60 solar panels and the same amount of batteries. Power is not an issue, it never runs out.

However, when I left for the night and got back, surprise: All my depots empty.

A quick google told me that people can take the stuff away, so I built a wooden depot around the whole supply deposits and the extractors, making sure noone can get in, as in no doors, roof above. I double checked every spot, nook and cranny I could find so they couldnt access anything. Then I press ALT+TAB happy of my work, and found out it just got emptied again from 500-750 indium in each extractor.

I redid the whole thing twice due to other bugs. I replaced the extractors 3 times before this bug began. I restored any terrain manipulation i made. I stopped pressing ALT-TAB and just warped a bit, came back to an empty spot again.

I hope people got some ideas or answers, because frankly if it doesnt work i`ll just uninstall the game even though it is so much fun.

#

The Exo Mech feels like a "cheat/god powers" vehicle that ruins multiple tiers of character progression in the game. Do you guys use it? [Discussion]

Why hunt and scout around for oxygen or other resources to mine? the Exo Mech press left button at everything you see on the screen and get hundreds of 500 stacks in 1 hour.

Why bother installing armor? Exo Mech is un targetable by 95% of the enemies

Why bother installing weapon upgrades? Exo Mech does thousands of damage to most enemies in 1 hit

Why bother crafting underwater modules and submarine? Exo Mech doesnt need oxygen and can go infinitely deep underwater

Why bother being careful on dangerous and poisonous planets? Exo Mech is immune to all forms of environmental damage

Help! Since Frontiers building parts are no longer “snapping” together. [Bug]

Hello and thanks for taking the time to read this. I’m trying to base build for the first time after Frontiers has dropped. I’m on console (Xbox series x). When I go to try and place building parts, for example, a door on a cylindrical room. It will place on the room, but it doesn’t actually open the side of the building. It’s essentially sticking it on the side.

Anyone know what I’m doing wrong or what’s going on?

#

What's up with my settlement? [Question]

I built a landing pad, 4 hours for this, 4 hours for that, yay 12 hours later I have a 1 ship landing pad. Start on the water tower as my next build. 12 hours later I have a water tower. Now I cant build anything, I haven't had a request at my desk or anything since before the water tower was built, and can't build anything new. Is my settlement broken? I really don't want to start a new game after all the time I have put into this.

#

Settlement Debt, is it bugged or am I doing something wrong? [Question]

Title basically; but some details, my settlement just went from B->C (I can only assume due to the debt). Its been 2 days now since I got the production above the maintenance costs and was told debt would reduce over time.

Production is: 280K/day, maintenance costs are 125K/day. 135K debt

That was 2 days ago.. today.. same numbers. It tells me 4hrs to removal of the debt but it always says that. I assume this is just badly bugged still, but maybe its just my settlement? (I'd hate to lose this one but if its just the settlement that's broken and it will never progress.. I better start looking!)

#

Settlements [Question]

Can you only manage one settlement or multiple ones? Do they always spawn on extreme planets?

#

Coming back, what should I do? [Question]

Hello (gamers)!

I've been absent from NMS for a while. Last expansion I really took a deep dive in was the one with the underwater bases. I've been following the development and I log in every now and then to mow the lawn at my base and reconnect the power grid. I really love the game, but every since I grinded for schematics and set up my "printing units" factory, I feel demotivated to do stuff.

Should I pursue quicksilver to get the living ship? Find some derelict freighters? Find a settlement to oversee? I don't really know where to start now. Is there some kind of expensive end game goal that I can aspire to? I have and can create loads of units and/or grind for resources just fine. I just need a goal of some sort.

What do you do when you need some goals in the game?

(I have a good ship, a nice freighter (although not furnished) a nice home base)

#

Is there anyway to... erhhh.... abandon your settlement? [Question]

Base building isn't for me and I wanted to check out the new mission and what not but now I have a full time job and debt and responcilities on an ice planet with a town full of Gek scum....... is there anyway I can stop overseeing them and leave, like my Dad?

Settlements issue - "Other Player's Settlement" [Bug]

Hi.

So I'm doing the settlements starting quest, but every single settlement I visit seems to already have been claimed or something. Every one I visit says "Other Player's Settlement".

I have tried warping a bunch of times. Swapped galaxies. Restarted the game. Turned multiplayer off. Even verified files. I believe I read this was a bug that was supposed to be fixed with yesterday's patch, but it seems not. Or am I doing something completely wrong here?

The first time I visited a settlement, I got the sentinel interaction part where I had to defend the settlement. But when I killed off the sentinels and was supposed to claim the Overseer position, it still said that it was some other player's settlement.

Any advice? Cheers.

Settlements question [Question]

Hey guys and gals. I have a question about settlemens lol After several hours played, I've only received one prompt to build something. My first settlement I received a build prompt, settle dispute and deal with a stranger, and then it stopped for many hours.. so I decided to try another one, thinking it was bugged. On the second settlement, I've only received one build prompt, and it's been several hours on this one now lol not sure if this is normal, or what's happening

Does anyone have a Expedition 2 save with all the rewards to share? [Question]

I have done them both on PS4, but I am trying to move to PC, except that I cannot find a save for the second expedition. I have found one for the first one and successfully got the items for that one, though.

I found one that only was the "save2.hg", no other files, which makes the save incompatible.

I would really appreciate if someone could share a save they have for it!

My settlement is missing!! Please help!! [Question]

I logged on this morning after days of working on my settlement and I can not find it on my planet. The marker is gone and I can not find it!! I have put a lot of work into it and there is a notice saying that there is a sentinel attack. Any ideas? Ive tried a signal booster near where I think it should be.

#

I love this game BUT... [Discussion]

I really love this game, and I couldn't wait for this update, but I wish that the team would rather take a week out two longer and sort out the bugs before releasing it. The constant crashes after an update drives me nuts. My gameplay gripe is the waiting time after building each little part. Build something, wait an hour, build something, wait an hour, repeat repeat repeat... Is it just me?

#

One settlement per planet? [Question]

Is there only settlement per planet??

I'm excited to start my settlement on my home planet. However, the first location was less than desirable. After collecting many navigation data, I was pointed to the same location...

Am I wasting my time looking for another one?

Any help is appreciated!

#

Settlement question. Trouble getting a new settlement [Question]

So I already have a settlement however ive moved my main base to another system and I'd like to get a new settlement closer to my new area.

I bought 5 settlement maps off the cartographer 3 of them just burned and didnt do anything... However the last 2 did work and sent to me settlements In my system.

The issue is that the two it did take me to show as being "other player's settlement" so I can't claim either of them. So now I'm stuck with a settlement marker on my base planet that I can't use?

Does anyone have any ideas? Or am I doing something wrong?

Electrical wiring will not connect after 'Frontiers' update [Bug]

I got so far yesterday in a HUGE PROJECT on a new planet to power a mountain top site using the Electromagnetic Generator. I spent AGES tracking the power source, building my 'power station' then running power lines out, daisy chaining them up the mountain to my new base. HOWEVER I came out of the build menu for lunch or something - went back in

NOW nothing 'snaps in' and even free placement will not work. AS we know you can TELL if a wire goes live it turns BLUE (if coming FROM a live power source). Even then as Im running across land with a BLUE live cable, when I TRY to connect to the next battery it goes RED. It got so bad I really lost my temper and the PS nearly went out the window. Luckily (maybe) i had to leave it and start a night shift!! (could have been costly).

I have now reported this to Hello Games ...................when or if they will address this who knows. Just be aware that trying to cable your new base from an EG TOWER now seems impossible if its MILES away. Its not handy if you lose track of the direction you are pulling the cable out, as this can sometimes 'break' the build link (say if you have to jetpack up a steep cliff) and then connecting any cables FORGET IT.

Anyone else experiencing this please report this strange glitch to HG which (on the OLD update) the wires 'SNAP' with a reassuring 'CLICK!!!'

Thanks Interlopers.....

Free Ship [Question]

Whenever I trade in my ship for a new one, I can go back to my old ship and claim it for free, is this supposed to happen? Since it seems weird to be able to use your ship to get a reduced price, then simply get it back for free.

Eco craft key mapping [Question]

I play on PC. I’ve been weird about my controls since the Doom2 days. A crooked finger from a childhood accident keeps me from using WADS. I have all of my controls remapped accordingly, but I can’t seem to get my exocraft throttle to map like the rest of my controls. Is there a key binding that I’m missing?

#

So...what is the purpose of settlements? [Discussion]

Today I finally had the time to try out Frontiers after being all hyped since Wednesday. And I spent my whole gaming day so far waiting for the first building to finish. Now this building is done and...there is nothing else to do? No new buildings to build (yet?), no tasks or quests, no events for the last four hours, no NPCs that do ANYTHING but say their generic line and not give me any opportunity to interact with them? And this is the big update I was exited about for weeks?! Yeah, the new base building stuff is cool. But it also has no real purpose except making your base look prettier than before. Because you can't even build anything in your settlement to make it grow/increase happiness/etc.

Is there something that I'm missing or is this update just not for me? Because so far Frontiers is more boring than a random browser game :(

#

Two things that really bother me about no man sky. [Question]

Why the hell is the creature cap for planets like 4 or 5 or something? I feel like it should be a LOT higher. Its a huge ass planet that feels endless. You shouldn't be able to discover everything next to your ship on a planet that feels endless (that feels the same size as earth)

Why cant you get into combat with other humanoid intelligent aliens? Its kind of weird and I mean, this is not important but I find this weird.

Building parts not showing up ? [Question]

How exactly does Hello Games make money? [Discussion]

Many people already own the game and there is zero paid DLC or microtransactions. How do they continue to push out free massive update after free massive update? Is it really just new sales? I'd absolutely hate for them to go under.

Thank you HG for continuing to stay amazingly loyal to your fans.

Overseer Help [Question]

Is there a way I can change what settlement I own? How do I look for them? The starting settlement for the mission took me to a 24/7 constantly hazardous planet with extreme sentinel activity and it’s just not the move. I already did all the missions and I have to wait 2 hours for my building to finish. Any way I can just resign here and lead elsewhere on a more suitable planet?

In-game photos, on Steam. It's been years and mine STILL look like jaggy dogshite [Question]

I'm sure this topic has come up before, I've found forum posts all over the net, but here we are on Frontiers and my photos still look like they were taken with a potato on a last-last-gen system.

Has anyone figured out wtf is up with this? I run the game with all the settings maxed; 3840x1080 res; RTX 2070 super, AMD 3970x cpu.

Currently the only way I can take a screenshot is to literally use the keyboard screenshot key, then tab out to MS paint, paste the image. Often this doesn't work, or gets things from the wrong angle because Ins key (that has dual functionality for screenshot on my kb) makes the camera swing.

Any ideas from this amazing community? I'm going to try some experiments later with different resolutions, wondering if the pic is being taken at 1080x1920 then upscaled? Or if it's something to do with DLSS?

Button Press Delay [Question]

Is there a way to make a button stay pressed for longer, or to make this happen using power inverters / auto switches. I'm not trying to toggle it, just delay it from turning off.

Help. [Question]

Hello guys, I’ve been a part of this sub for a long time now and I don’t even have the game.

I’m happy to announce that today i bought it and I’m eager to play it! I have to take the wife to dinner and shopping since I was away for the whole week (business trip).

But I can’t stop looking for tips! So in 1 sentence could you guys tell me your best tip?

Thanks in advance, and see you soon!

Discovering a planet but not the system? [Question]

I keep going to systems and finding that one planet has been discovered by someone else, but I am credited with discovering the system.

Not sure, but I think the planets that show that someone else discovered them all have a settlement that shows as belonging to another player.

Is this a bug? Or can someone discover one planet without discovering the system?

#

Is the settlement building/development all linear? [Discussion]

Finally finished building that tower, and when i went back to the settlement, there was nothing for me to do. I thought it would give me some options on things to build. But when I went back there, nothing was happening. I checked my office and that central building.

Is settlement development all linear? Do we not really have any choice in what/when we build something? Seems kinda dumb especially since my settlement is still racking up debt.

How do you build a base with friends that won‘t (partially) disappear when playing alone? [Question]

Me and a friend of mine tried building a conjoined base (two base computers), but everytime one of us visits the place without the other one being also there, the friends base has completely vanished. Doesn‘t matter if we play solo or multiplayer, my friends base will only appear if he visits the planet - and vice versa. Is there any way to get this to work so that we don‘t have to be online and on the same planet at the same time to see and expand our shared base? Saving a lot and regularly uploading bases didn‘t help at all. Such a bummer. Can anybody shed some intergalactic light on how to get this to work? Thanks, Travellers!

Playing on ps5 btw.

Completely new player - overwhelmed where to start? [Question]

So I bought this game when it first came out, like many people instantly rejected it. Now I see it has several updates and is getting great reviews.

I only played about an hour of the game but I would like to get back into it.

anyone have some general tips/advice etc

this can include websites or videos you recommend or just general advice having played it yourself.

Thanks much

nothing happening in new settlement [Discussion]

Got my first settlement, and up until I built the market place I had decisions every now and then, but after I built the market, nothing happens and I just incur debt. no decisions, nothing happens. I figured there would be more to it after that, maybe some rewards sentinel battles or something. is everyone elses base just sitting there incurring debt with no decisions after market place? is that the end of the whole mission series?

Tales Of A Miner On Rawa (Chapter 2) (The Vykeen Watch Wrestling & Whatney Is A God) [Fan Work]

This is a followup to my original story about tunneling and mining on planet Rawa. (https://www.reddit.com/r/NoMansSkyTheGame/comments/p5w8xv/a_good_exemple_of_how_this_game_encourages_you_to/) I got a lot of positive comments for it so I figured I should do a follow-up! You can refer to the original story to understand the references to place names and such.

Where was I? Oh yeah, Rawa Mining & Infrastructure. Cobalt, great stuff. After filling my last log (and hearing a worrying tale from a fellow traveler that stopped by my Vykeen neighbors' outpost to fuel, more on that later), I went back to my tunneling. Ends up, the cave mid-way between Ranesota and Haller wasn't as plentiful in Cobalt as I thought it would be, a lot of it was empty or had the ground covered with worthless and non-exploitable stalagmites and weeds. I also discovered it wasn't a closed pocket like I first believed, there was indeed another entrance to it than my tunnel, small and well-hidden up a ledge. The scene outside had nothing to do with my lush, heavenly home: badlands, pockmarked by holes and bumps. In the distance, I still could see the vegetation I knew and loved, reminding me I was indeed home.

I gotta admit, this was a punch in the gut... even though my goal was NOT to find a new mine but rather to create a tunnel between my two bases, I was very enthusiastic about the opportunity to make more money, you know, the Ranesota mine was empty and I would have to look for another mine anyway. But now that's gone and as far as the tunnelling went, you know, I needed a break. So, adventure called.

I guess this is the point where I should tell you more about my home system of Xicorr. Xicorr is a monosolar system located in Euclid that...

Cant build base computer in settlement [Question]

I got a settlement on my paradise planet, but the base computer I built there tells me the site is already claimed. Is this normal? Or am I really so unlucky that someone else built a base in my settlement on my planet at the edge of hilbert?

Frontiers needs more Animal Crossing [Discussion]

(Reposting this from a reply I made in another thread because I think it's a good topic of discussion. )

Having experienced Frontiers so far and reading others impressions, here I think is the main issue with the disappointment in the Frontiers update. Hello Games is touching on quite a few Animal Crossing features (expanding town, furniture/decorations, visiting aliens), but they're doing it without committing to the features that makes Animal Crossing good.

NPCs need life to make the town feel alive. These settlement NPCs are probably the most lifeless in the game because you can't do anything with them. The base terminal NPCs are unfortunately currently more lifelike than the settlement NPCs, and that's a problem. You don't even need to go full Animal Crossing to fix this lack of immersion either. Just a few features would totally change how these settlements feel.

The settlement needs a personality. Just a handful of persistent NPCs with the right dialogue and interaction is all you need to do this too. Give them their own houses, have some kind of "weird" decoration show up in their house that helps us identify them. Give them their own unique personality dialogue responses: grumpy, happy, robotic, etc. Then give us something to do with each of them. Have one able to accompany us like a companion and let them mine and dig with us. Have another be a collector who will take an item of yours and exchange it for an item of equal value. The game already does this all over the place in various forms, and for example an NPC who could trade Iridesite for Geodesite would be a useful thing. Have another NPC own a companion pet that's unlike any other fauna on the planet, and if you build enough trust he'll give you an egg of it. Make all kind of NPC archetypes like this and then have the "visiting Alien" be a chance to swap them out.

Right now, I have more fun...

Why do we need life support on lush planets [Discussion]

As this title say. On every other planet it make sense however the main role of the life support system is to supply breathable air. On lush planets that are like earth surely the planet is able to give us breathable air

Help fix review injustice! [Discussion]

Hello fellow interlopers!

Recently I saw Metacritic's Metascore on our beloved No Man's Sky and was shocked by the score. Believe it or not it is STILL being generated using old 2016 critic reviews! This makes the score very misleading and serves to mislead new players looking to buy the game, unacceptable! I have written up a little email for us to politely ask them for something to be done:

Please excuse/correct anything that may sound wierd, I'm not a native speaker.

Anyway. If anybody wants to join me in this venture to correct this problem I have provided a little template, should you wish to send a message yourself but dont want to write one up yourself:

Subject: Severe relevance issue with a certain product's score

Good day,

[As a concerned user of your website] I am writing this message with the hope that it can help in resolving an issue with a product's score.

It has come to my attention that the game by studio Hello Games "No Man's Sky" has a dedicated score/review page on your website. It is my opinion that the score is in dire need of an update, considering how it seems to be determined/generated. Please correct me if I am wrong but it seems to me like the official critic score ("Metascore") is developed upon several "Critic Reviews". Such reviews appear to have been published nearly 5 whole years ago. Unfortunately, just about all of them are contextually completely irrelevant to the product in question, as the reviewed game has changed completely in the past 5 years thanks to regular support and free content additions by the developing studio. The generated Metascore is wildly misleading to the user, as it is severely outdated.

I understand that it is ludicrous to demand a change in score, as I myself am not even a...

My Settlement is missing [Bug]

I would like to go help out my Settlement. I did some exploring. Stayed in the same Galaxy. Didn't even go to my Freighter or the Anomaly. When I got back, I got notice that a Sentinel attack on my Settlement is imminent. However, no matter how many times I reload, the game won't show me the marker for the Settlement. So it is somewhere on this planet. Somewhere.

Living Ship Upgrades [Question]

I finally got my first living ship after about a week of doing the Starbirth quest last night!

Wanted to make sure I had the most up to date information on this: To find upgrades for this ship, I want to go to empty/abandoned systems and just pulse around for a minute or two, right? And if I don’t get any sort of encounter within a minute or two of that, I should just move on to the next system?

Also, it’s still impossible for living ships to have economy scanners, correct?

#

How to get back to settlement? [Question]

When I loaded up my game this morning the marker for my settlement was gone. I bought a map and activated it on the same planet my previous settlement was on but it just led me to another settlement. Does anyone know how to find my previous settlement again?

Landing pad build terminal stuck underground. [Question]

I had just started the construction of a landing pad in a new settlement, but the terminal to build it was inside of a strange ridge. I tried to dig it out but I couldn't, the ridge was completely unteraformable like when you try to dig too deep. It's unreachable. Can I fix this somehow or do I have to find a new settlement?

I'm Starting To Get Annoyed By The Lack Info On Expedition 3 Release Time Frame. [Discussion]

Hello Games made a statement months ago that Expedition 3 would be coming soon and never did. I heard it was from technical issues, cool spend the time to fix the issues. But don't leave the community constant guessing and making post asking when the Expedition will come out.

When I seen the new trailer for the Frontiers update I saw "Expedition 3" text in the trailer. Assuming they released it along with the update for the long weekend. Started a new save so I can do the expedition only to find out it wasn't released yet. And there still isn't any announcement for when it will come out. No one Season based online game does that. Apex, Fortnite, CoD they all tell their community a specific date when the new season will begin while the NMS community is left guessing.

#

"Trade" for golden vector for void eggs [Question]

Would anyone be willing to trade the golden vector for void eggs or one of my ships? You wouldn't lose your own ship doing it, there is info out just in case you need proof. However, I'd like to at least give something in return. Will trade multiple void eggs if needed.

#

Can we have a breadcrumb system or similar [Suggestion]

Scenario is I'm playing with friend(s).

I go through a bunch of systems in a path, write down interesting systems I want my friend to visit. I'm exploring, which is what this game is about, right? I can't share my set of let's say 50 interesting (for different reasons) systems with my friend so they can visit as well, there's no easy way to do that.

I either have to re-visit each of those 50 systems, so they can go through the Anomaly and come out at my side, or I have to put down 50 bases that aren't actually bases, and be online while they try to teleport to them.

These 50 systems are my voyage through the galaxy, that I want my friend to visit. Some have travelers, some have exotic ships, some have cool looking planets.

Glyph system is an absolute positioning system that can take you anywhere in the galaxy, and it's overkill for this purpose. We don't have it unlocked either, and this isnt what the glyphs are for, they would be cumbersome to use for this purpose anyway. Bases have their issues as well.

The need is simple, and very useful in co-op: a waypoint system I can share with my friend, or a search feature to search planets by name.

It's a very good feature for mapping out systems around our main base, and share observations about those systems with our friends. It's so cumbersome that the Discoveries lists your visited systems but offers you no real way to get back to those systems, even at least a history of how you got to that system in the first place... some breadcrumbs you can leave behind for you or your friends to follow...

Switched settlements but won't prompt me to build anything? [Question]

Anyone have a similar experience? I just switched settlements from the original one they send you to in the beginning to a new one on a more temperate planet. I built the overseers office, and with the first settlement it immediately prompted me to build a market, etc.. this time I built the overseers office and then nothing...

Any ideas?

#

Problems with Teleporting? [Bug]

So this is a fun one. I needed to get heat capacitors to finish construction on an addition to my settlement. So I had to teleport to a waaaaaaay distant galaxy I hadn’t been to in ages to complete The Scientist storyline to learn the blueprint. Finished that, now I’m trying to teleport back to my settlement, and every time I try my game crashes. I’ve tried teleporting from a base, the anomaly, and the space station. Makes no difference, it starts the jump, and as soon as it seems it’s almost done, I get a crash. Anyone else experiencing this? PS4 user.

Having a higher spaceship and multi-tool limit [Discussion]

Literally what the title says, can we somehow make some sort of "petition" to hello games for them to add a new spaceship and multi-tool limit?

Because like, I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one who ever had the idea of collecting ships in this game and then realizing that you can only have 6. I'm also pretty sure I wasn't the only one who wanted to have a multi-tool collection with lots of exotic ones and equipped with a different setup. I've talked with a friend once that it's kinda ironic the fact that this game is nearly "infinite", with tons of variants of a specific spaceship or multi-tools, and you can only have 6 spaceships and 3 multi-tools.

I've also seen TONS of ideas here on Reddit to make it "possible" to have more ships, like a cargo freighter, which would be a huge freighter almost the size of the main one where you could store ships in it. You would only be able to call 6 ships in the quick menu, but you could switch in that freighter which ones.

Same with the multi-tools but that could be some sort of station you could build in your base/freighter.

Resuming, it would be awesome to have this ability to store more than 6 spaceships and 3 multi-tools. And I was wondering what's your opinion in this topic and if there is any way for this to become a thing.

ps: sry for the terrible English and for the possible jebait, this wasn't a guide on how to get more ships and multi-tools

#

So you can currently buy back ship you exchange for free. Figured I would spread the word before it gets fixed! [Information]

If you go and buy a ship from someone at a station and choose the option to exchange, that original owner teleports from his ship to your old one. If you go up to him again and offer to buy back your old ship, the price to buy it will just say "claim (free)" and then you will end up with both ships.

You still have to pay the exchange price on the first ship, but you will end up keeping both ships for the much lower price than buying it outright.

S Class Freighter Farming Question [Question]

Hey all. Currently got an autosave in a space station with a freighter rescue battle going on outside. It is the freighter I want but so far I have only gotten up to A class after 15 tries. This was only after 1 warp into a 3 star system and just firing the game up.

My question is, does the 2% chance of getting an S rank kick in after you’ve been currently playing for 3 hours, or just total time played has to exceed 3 hours?

Thanks to any who may know. May just take the A rank at this point.

Am I missing something here [Discussion]

I started my settlement but then I wanted to change so I found a nice desert planet, to build a settlement on. The only issue being that I can't actually change settlements. I have bought maps from the cartographer and I have been through about 20 maps in this system and a couple in some other systems and I have only found other peoples settlements even though I am the first contact in this system. The worst bit is, even the settlements that appear to be unnamed and don't even have the overseers building seem to be taken. Is there a step I am missing? Is my game glitched?

No Mans Sky Gamepass for PC Issue [Question]

Exocraft achievement not unlocking? [Question]

No settlement decisions [Question]

How long is it supposed to be between build projects? I built my overseer’s office yesterday and still haven’t gotten my first building choice.

#

Settlement progress halted [Question]

I've been keeping up with everyone's issues with settlements but only got a chance to make my own last night. I wasn't too fussed on the first one I got, so I used a few maps and found a much better one.

I was able to build the overseer's office, but since then I haven't had the option to build something new, or interact with the settlement to make some progress.

I saw this was an issue that was resolved by a patch, but I'm on 3.62 and it's still the same.

Has anyone found a workaround to forcing the next stage?

How to fix FPS issues? [Question]

My specs are pretty good so I should be having better performance, but it often drops to 10-5 fps, especially in areas with lots of objects it seems (like a base)

Found a crashed ship, now what? [Question]

Hi, new player here (so not a lot of nanites or units)

I’m being a bit dumb, but I’m having a hard time figuring out what to do with this crashed ship I found with one of those maps you buy from the map guy

So I claimed it, it’s nothing special but I’d like to understand how this whole system works, in case I find something nice later on.

As far as I understand, I need to repair some parts to make it fly (the launcher and pulse). Then I fly it to space station to scrap it, get modules to sell and augmentation something to increase cargo of my current ship, right?

After I scrap this new found ship, how do I get my current ship back? *Will all my cargo still be there? * - really need to know this.

Semi-related question - if I wanna buy a ship that I like from an NPC on a space station, I see that I can transfer my cargo. But can I move my technology that’s in the tech slots, or it stays there forever and if I have some nice upgrades I’ll have to do those again?

Thank you in advance!

PS VR Experience [Question]

Does anyone recommend getting VR for PS5 to play No Mans Sky? I just had to restart my game with 500 hours after my PS4 won’t transfer my save files to my PS5. I wanted to play differently this time, would VR worth it? Or should I wait until PS5 VR comes out next year?

I plan on playing regardless, I just wanted to get some opinions before I spent 400 dollars on something I wouldn’t like.

Settlement building choices [Question]

So because of starting out in debt, The first building choice I picked was a tower (increases productivity) over a saloon. The current building I am making was a generator (no second option, just asked if I wanted to build it) Is the saloon a thing of the past or will I be able to build it later? Is it a “this or that” and that’s all scenario or a “you are just deciding the order”?

Question about new settlement [Question]

I sent some of my people on a quest, the timer had 20mins left until i got off.

When i come back (and i played for more than 20mins as well just incase) and i didnt see any update on it. What happens when they finish?

Ive also been in the game for awhile (left my character in overnight because debt doesnt seem to go down when offline) but havent had any settlement decisions to make yet.

I see some people say they can make a launchpad now as well but i dont have that option yet. Does this happen once your debt is gone?

Thanks for any clarrifications

Is this a game worth getting into if I want to be a filthy space pirate? [Question]

As the title reads...

I just wanna be a filthy space pirate and ruin people's day. I picked up eve online but quit bc Jesus that game is like a second time job, then went to star citizen which is actually quite fun but the bugs really ruin the game and it gets frustrating, so here I am now.

Should I bother with the game or am I way off here? I haven't seen much combat on foot or in ship of this game and I've read that this game is mainly just PvE.

Curious Deposits turned into something else? [Question]

I built a base next to curious deposits. But after the Frontiers update, when visiting that base today, the curious deposits had disappeared and in its place were metallic fingers. It is a bug or they removed then from the game?

#

Weather mechanics [Question]

Hi there I don't know if it's me, but I was curious if more weather mechanics is even possible, tornadoes perhaps, lightning strikes hitting you in some manner, fire tornadoes, eruptions from volcanoes shooting out and burn down little settlements or even just a river of lava oozing. Whirlpools in oceans or something of that nature, I may be asking for alot I dont know I'd just like to see more weather mechanics on planets. Have to fix my shil cause it got hit by a strike, take off quickly from a task cause eruption is about to happen, have to jump off planet cause multiple tornadoes are going to start and can throw your ship and you have no control either your ship saves you or you crash hard.

Summoned ship a wreck again - possible bug. I’m livid. [Bug]

So I’m pretty livid. I’m about 30 hours into the game, so still relatively new. At the 10 hour mark I found a pretty nice A class wreck; spent a lot of time and units fixing everything, but it was worth it.

So I decided to try to salvage another wreck I found. Claimed the wreck, got it to a station, salvaged it, and my very first ship appeared in the station. So I got planetside and summoned my main (second) ship. It was wrecked again; everything I had fixed was broken again and all my stuff was gone.

Luckily I hadn’t saved, so I just reverted and figured it was a one time or a salvage bug and I’d start salvaging when it was fixed.

So I’m on a planet and use a regular “summon” for the very first time. I get in, see pulse drive is busted but I was working on something and didn’t think much. Got out of the ship to do what I doing, got back in…and it’s a wreck again.

So I’ve lost everything, and have to fix everything again before I can continue.

Anyone else see this? I assume there’s nothing I can do but fix it again?

Dammit.

Ideas for player starship customization: hear me out. [Discussion]

Customizable. Cockpit. Decorations.

Adorable bobble head hula Gek? Fuzzy dice? Skull stick shift adornment?

Exterior. Decals.

Does your hauler really need a mural of an eagle flying across the night sky painted on the side, or a pin up Vy’ Keen? Your shuttle needs some racing stripes or neon under lighting? I know you could put some flames on your fighter.

ByteBeat. Satellite. Radio.

A community generated and curated series of radio stations based on people’s homespun bytebeats that plays while you fly. Stations based on tags.

I’d love to hear any of your ideas for similar non-part-swapping ways to help personalize the starships.

Anybody else having this settlement issue? [Question]

I finally decided to try the settlement system. Went to the quest, defended the base from some attacking sentinels.

but then I couldn't claim it. or ANY settlement.

multiple settlement maps later, nothing. Multiple systems/planets, nothing. EVERY settlement is listed as belonging to another player. I even made FIRST CONTACT with a planet, yet the settlement is still listed as belonging to another player (see screenshot).

My quest log isn't giving me the option to restart the quest line, and I've already reported the bug to zendesk. Anyone have any ideas on what to do?

Settlements are messing with me [Question]

I have two inhabited paradise worlds in my system and everytime I use a settlement chart it finds a settlement on the scorched world or the ice one.

Every single settlement that I go to seems to be owned, no matter where it is. Doesn't matter whether it's on an undiscovered planet on the outer edge of the universe, EVERY settlement is unclaimable due to being owned by... well, no one, really. Some of them seem to have obviously player-made names, despite being in a system that no one had ever set foot before me.

Sean plz fix.

Sentinel Depot Armourer Mission [Question]

I got this mission yesterday and I didn't read the description correctly and destroyed the depot with my ship, now the mission just points to the already destroyed depot.

I've searched online and tried pretty much all suggestions such as destroy other depots on/off planet and in other systems. I went to my previous base and tried it there, still pointed to the original depot. I can't see to reset the mission either.

Does anyone else have any ideas? How long does it take for the original depot to regenerate?

Thanks

Stuck and cannot find my settlement again? [Question]

I loaded up my game today and decided to try to use a settlement map to find one on my home planet. It didn’t do anything and only pointed to a settlement I had already seen before and not accepted. Because of the settlers quest, I have an original settlement I oversee on a planet in my home system. However, because of that other settlement that I’m not overseer of, I can’t find my settlement any longer. I get a message saying “go to the space station and use the teleporter for easy travel”, but when I do that, my settlement doesn’t show up. When I leave the station, I still can’t find my original settlement and only see the one I don’t manage or care about. What do I do?

Haven't been able to do a weekend mission for over a month now [Bug]

This is getting really annoying. I'm on PS5. Last I could do it, my girlfriend who's on PS4 couldn't do it so we haven't ever been able to play them together. The mission just doesn't show up among the missions. I've turned multiplayer on and off, switched systems, restarted Playstations, you name it.

Frontier seems like fun, but some fixes to already existing problems would be better imo...

#

Can't take off in ship bug. [Bug]

Can anyone help with this, it was working perfectly until I went to the nexus, then it wouldn't take off. Just made a noise like there was no fuel remaining. Topped up fuel and no dice.

Saved it and relogged, still no dice.

Teleported to space station and still same shit.

Any suggestions welcome.

#

What if Predators attack you at night in all planets? [Suggestion]

It would be nice if they implement evil creatures that come out in night time to attack you, like in Minecraft.

It's a simple thing but I think that making this and given us more types o guns like the incinerator would make the combat in the game much better.

What do you guys think?

Extreme Survival Milestone [Question]

I have been standing inside an abandoned building on an extreme sentinel planet for over 8hrs yet have not completed the ‘Extreme Survival’ milestone. I remember back in the day it would flash EXTREME as you exited your ship and audibly say EXTREME WEATHER/SENTINEL PLANET if you were currently on an extreme planet. I did hear the voice say extreme sentinel planet and it’s written in red so I figured this would count. Left my PS5 on all night and now I’m disappointed.

Made it to 30.5 out of 32.0 Sols a few years ago before I knew how the milestone worked now I’m stuck. Please help me anything is appreciated.

Thank you

Not getting the option to build in settlement. [Question]

So I got a settlement, and it's kinda got a crippling debt. Unfortunately non of the administration events so far have let me build anything. I've heard that you're supposed to be presented the option to pick between to buildings when you first use the terminal. Have I encountered a bug or am I just unlucky?

#

What are your ideas for Frontiers? [Suggestion]

What are you ideas to make Frontiers more enjoyable? Here are some of mine.

Procedurally generated alien races at different points in their evolutionary timeline. Tribal,technological, etheric. Tons of procedurally generated awesome action focused missions. Maybe some cave dungeons with free roaming biological horrors, dogfights, exocraft specific missions, cantinas/smoke lounges/dance clubs.

Settlement help: no prompt to construct [Question]

Just getting into this update as I was out of town but I’ll try to keep this as succinct as possible. Thanks in advance to the best gaming community out there!! 🚀

Came to the rescue of a settlement. Built overseer building. Took over as overseer. Got a prompt on the settlement administration terminal (s.a.t.): construct a pub, or a market? Choose and begin construction on the market. During wait-time discovered another settlement; preferred location. Took over new settlement as overseer. No need to build the overseer building as it’s already there. Ok great.

Now here’s the issue, I’m not getting any new prompts at the s.a.t. to construct the pub/market. I got one prompt but it was just a civilian issue.

Tried going back to original settlement. Took it over but the market which I had started previously isn’t there and was not getting any prompt to start one.

Advanced the time a few hours. No change.

Went off and did a quicksilver mission. Still no prompt upon return.

Went back to preferred location and took it over again. Been waiting and reloading game but still no prompt to build the market.

Any suggestions?

Issues with expedition [Bug]

I keep seeing a flare at the top of the expedition mode when making a new game. The flair either says downloading data, or expedition complete. I've hard reset my system and Uninstalled the game already. Any advice would be much appreciated

Nexus mission spawn killing [Question]

I don't know if this was possible before, but upon today's nexus mission I was nearing planet and about to land when I got 1shot by anothwr player (im noob), who then proceeded to kill me 8 more times from his ship while I respawned on the ground. By that point ai was really frustrated and reloaded manual save from 8 hours ago.

How to deal with assholes lile this? Was it possible before frontiers?

#

Please, reduce the construction time in settlements. [Suggestion]

It's ridiculous having to wait 4 hours to build something. My only option is to quit the game and come back in 4 hours, because I have nothing else to do. Please reduce the time to minutes, not hours. I just want to play the game, not have to exit the game and wait.

Xbox base despawning [Bug]

My friend witnesses on a regular basis my base despawning on front of him. I am on PC he is on Xbox One.

Is there any way to fix this, it is EXTREMELY annoying for me and him when I am building a base and want to show him something and there is nothing there for him. I can literally see him walking through my walls.

#

Settlement Construction Reseting [Bug]

Anyone else having a problem with settlement building? One of my first tasks as a settlement overseer was to choose between an economy or population building. Seeing as my settlement is deep in debt, I choose economy. After building level 1 and 2 of the building, I am now on the third step to complete the building. I was waiting around the settlement for about a minute so the construction would finish but now it is asking me to do the same step I just waited one and a half hours to finish. Any fix or am I stuck with this?

Bought at lauch and just returned. Help with possible ship buying bug/exploit. [Bug]

So I have my noner starter ship. Progress enought to find a salvage ship. I repair it enought to fly to a space station, but all the slots and tech are still damaged.

I check ships in port to buy. I find a ship 100% better. I trade my broken salvage ship, amd most of my credits to the captain for his ship.

Checking other ship that just arrived I talk to the guy that I just sold my shitbox too. To my suprise I can but it back from him for free (all still damaged of course)

So in the span of 1hr (from finding salvage shitbox to selling it) I go from a single ship to 3 ships.

Naturally I try this again and I find that yes, when I buy ships, I can talk to the old pilots and buy back my trade-ins for free. I am now buying back ships to melt down for stuffs.

So far I have only tried this with ships that are more expensive than my current. I have yet to try this with a less expensive ship

Is this a bug or exploit, or is this legit in-game.

Crashes every few minutes (PS4) [Bug]

I've been playing around on my creative save on my ps4 and have been trying out the new building pieces. Every few minutes or so, I could open a menu or be flattening some terrain and it just up and craps out on me. I've been home and playing since 230pm it's now 320pm and its crashed 5 times already. I've uninstalled and reinstalled and completely gutted and cleaned my system with nothing changing. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

A Question About COOP [Question]

So me and my boyfriend were playing no man's sky together. First issue we had is when we landed on one planet. He put down a base computer and shortly after that he said he is about to have a storm of some sort. I didn't get that, so I was like okay well its gonna happen anyway right? No. I did not have the storm and he did.

After that we angered sentinels on the same planet, they ended up chasing us for a while and more and more kept coming so we decided to just go off planet and escape them.

Little did we know that they would keep chasing us.

So we tried fleeing for about half an hour or so, using the super fast boost (yes I'm new) and the normal one that's on shift (pc). To no avail. Eventually they sent a big massive ship for me , it just warped next to me and sent out fighters. I fought them but the thing is, my boyfriend couldn't see them at all.

Is this a limitation of coop or is this simply desync that can happen?

I'm hoping it's the second one...

Thank you to anyone who shines some light on this issue.

Repeat of pre 3.62 patch problems [Bug]

Settlement destroyed? [Question]

Logged off last night after finishing the weekly nexus mission. Logged on this morning and clicked my settlement in the log section there's a message about high sentinel threat and to go defend my settlement. I fly out of the station in my settlement system and there's no settlement marker anymore. My freighter is still there where it was parked above my settlement but no sign of the settlement and no marker anymore.

Is this a bug? Or was my settlement completely destroyed while I was logged off?

#

Hello Games have PTSD [Discussion]

5 years of massive free updates, each bettering the previous, and zero paid DLC or microtransaction. I don't understand how Hello games are profitable with this model and I can only surmise that this model has been conceived in order to prove themselves from the brutal launch of NMS (in which I believe they've already achieved).

Often times I find myself feeling bad for Hello games. I buy merch from their online store just as a way to support them. Sometimes I want to reach out to them and say "Guys, you've given us so much now. I want you guys to take care of yourselves too. For god sake, charge me for something!!"

#

Frontiers update messed up my base [Information]

Don't know if this happened to any of you, but this update really messed my base! I built it on the Galactichub capital planet, found a nice gigantic crater that hosted a big lake with a single flat island in the shape of a semicircle, and a small peak coming out of the water next to the curved side of the island, so back then I decide to build on the flat semicircle island, with lots of domes and nice areas, even and underwater area....

When the update was released I received the bugged settlement mission (the settlement belonged to another player) and had to find a way to get a new one...

When I warped to my base... The island was gone and the small peak is now bigger and over some parts of my base! Seeing that horrible mess I sadly decide to delete the base!

Has this happened to any of you too?

#

What is a light fissure? [Question]

I picked it up off of a planet surrounded by a bunch of ones the exact same, I thought it was worth money but it says something about 1,000 salvaged data modules so does that mean I can research it for 1,000 data or it's worth that much?

#

Are there building foundations or do you just use the floor panels? [Question]

So I've noticed that even if I flatten down the ground before placing anything when I do place a floor panel it lowers the ground beneath it automatically so there is always this gap and it looks like its floating. This probably bothers me more than it should but I just want to get it flush with the ground lol. I tried covering the gaps by placing walls snapping them on the bottom of the floor panel but then it changes the style of wall of my first floor and i dont really want that either haha. Am I missing something? Are there actual foundation pieces that you can unlock and place first that go into the ground? Ive been using the timber building pieces.

#

Settlement Problem [Answered]

So I checked on my settlement quest and I noticed that Sentinels were attacking it. However, when I went to defend it, the marker indicating my settlement is gone. Is this a glitch, or does this mean I was too late to save my settlement and it's gone forever?

Edit: It just showed up the moment I went to check again, crisis averted!

#

Ideas for challenge runs to do with friends? [Question]

I have kinda wanted to come back and play but long story short I need to start over.

I was hoping to convince a couple friends to come back as well, but they are probably bored of their previous setups.

Do you guys have any ideas for some sort of group challenge run that would enforce a more team based playstyle? Obviously permadeath is on the table. Maybe an ironman style challenge? (no galactic market allowed, no space station stores only planet based vendors?)

#

Settlements need to take some pointers from The Sims [Suggestion]

I say this as a day one fan and true believer in No Man’s Sky: settlements lack depth and the feature hindered by it’s meaningless time gating and lack of emergent design.

I think HG should take a few pointers from The Sims for how their settlements work. The activities NPCs engage in need to match the implied purposes of the buildings. NPCs shouldn’t be milling about aimlessly. They need purpose, not random thought bubbles. Happiness needs to be refilled by NPCs visiting the bar or being granted a vacation to their home planet. They need to rest by sleeping in a house or barracks. They need to be allocated to building or production in a producing building, as a means to cure the time gating problem. Events like a Sentinel attack should disrupt the productivity of the settlement by interrupting NPCs’ ability to interact with these buildings. A lack of happiness should result in more sick days and a naturally occurring drop in productivity. In extreme cases, a overseer who fails to talk to and help a distressed worker may see them quit and leave, start a strike, or start to sabotage equipment. These measurements should come from a report over time, not from quick calculations on a status screen. When the settlement isn’t in memory and actively simulated (yes, I know that’s necessary for NMS), that’s when statistics about past performance of individual buildings and residents is used to arrive at the new state.

The game needs less statistics and calculation and more simulation. From simulation comes natural variation, and from variation comes emergence.

A lot of these features like settlements sound cool on a patch notes page, but when it comes down to HG’s execution of these ideas, they lack depth. And that CAN be fixed.

#

Inaccessible areas in settlement buildings [Question]

My fancy new settlement home appears to have a nice looking space on the third floor, and no way to get to it except to look longingly through the skylights. Other buildings in town have the same thing going on. Seems like I can’t edit them in any way. Is this just the way it’s going to be with procedurally generated buildings?

Where did the nighttime go? [Question]

Can freighters be updated [Suggestion]

Hi guys is it just me but I think freighter need a big update like can hello game add more options for example more upgrade more class of freighters like a combat class or a industrial (btw Im new to the game) oh and I think we should also be able to drive the freighter because that will be cool does anyone else agree or disagree

#

Settlement debt and progress [Question]

So somehow without any changes my productivity income finally surpasses my maintenance cost maybe the result of my colony being upgraded to B from C (no alert on that matter) but now I have only 1h30min left to repay my debt and still have 192k to pay. I'm guessing I cant use my pocket money to pay it so what to do ?

Also nothing has happened since I finished the extra building (the marketplace not the office), I cant build anything more, can't interact with the market or anything else, settlers don't say anything more and no new disputes or events...

How can I fix my capital ship? [Question]

Can’t build overseer office [Bug]

Every time I put the silicon powder into the construction terminal it will give me a progress percentage, but once it reaches 100% it resets back to zero and wants me to put in another 210 silicon powder.

#

Who would be interested in an "in world" news website to peruse while you wait out various parts of the game? [Discussion]

While sitting in my ship waiting for a storm to pass I realized how much fun and immersive it would be to just scroll through a "news site" on my phone that only has headlines and articles that are fiction and set in a space faring universe.

NMS is one of my favorite immersive games I've ever played and I like to stay in the flow when I'm playing.

It's a silly thought but I wanted to see if something like that would interest anyone else? If made it would be free (with fake in-world advertisements maybe?), and probably filled with articles written by volunteers who would want to contribute to such a crazy thing.

Articles talking about the economics of certain systems. Or ones about how the gek have developed a new scent distribution method.

Players could even submit small stories of their adventures that would get passed off as "tales from the fronteir" or something along those lines.

Fake wars could be followed through their timeliness. Etc.

Thoughts?

Why does my game not look as good as so many of the screenshots I see here? [Question]

I have a good enough rig to have all the settings turned up to the max. And give decent fps.

Dell G15

RTX 3060 6GB Intel i7-10870H running at 4+GHz 16Gigs of RAM and an SSD

I have everything at max/untra, DLSS is on Quality too, but still I feel like my game doesn't look as good. Is there something I am missing?

Should I create a ticket? I can't post screenshots right now as I'm not by my laptop, but will add them soon.

I cant have a working settlement anymore :( [Bug]

I took a desert settlement and it was fine and gave me things to do and buildings to wait for...

but then I found a beautiful planet and moved my ownership to there...

and now I dont get any objectives. I cant build anything and I dont even see my settlement on the teleport menu anymore.

it really sucks and I can do nothing about it. moving to another city doesnt fix it. I guess they just have a glitch with owning a new city and its ruining my experience. :(

Tales Of A Miner From Rawa (Chapter 2) (The Vykeen Watches Wrestling & Whatney Rules) [Story]

This is a followup to my original story about tunneling and mining on planet Rawa. (https://www.reddit.com/r/NoMansSkyTheGame/comments/p5w8xv/a_good_exemple_of_how_this_game_encourages_you_to/) I got a lot of positive comments for it so I figured I should do a follow-up! You can refer to the original story to understand the references to place names and such.

Where was I? Oh yeah, Rawa Mining & Infrastructure. Cobalt, great stuff. After filling my last log (and hearing a worrying tale from a fellow traveler that stopped by my Vykeen neighbors' outpost to fuel, more on that later), I went back to my tunneling. Ends up, the cave mid-way between Ranesota and Haller wasn't as plentiful in Cobalt as I thought it would be, a lot of it was empty or had the ground covered with worthless and non-exploitable stalagmites and weeds. I also discovered it wasn't a closed pocket like I first believed, there was indeed another entrance to it than my tunnel, small and well-hidden up a ledge. The scene outside had nothing to do with my lush, heavenly home: badlands, pockmarked by holes and bumps. In the distance, I still could see the vegetation I knew and loved, reminding me I was indeed home.

I gotta admit, this was a punch in the gut... even though my goal was NOT to find a new mine but rather to create a tunnel between my two bases, I was very enthusiastic about the opportunity to make more money, you know, the Ranesota mine was empty and I would have to look for another mine anyway. But now that's gone and as far as the tunnelling went, you know, I needed a break. So, adventure called.

I guess this is the point where I should tell you more about my home system of Xicorr. Xicorr is a monosolar system...

3.63 patch [Question]

Does anyone know when 3.63 will most likely be released? My settlement doesn’t do anything and hoping that’s a bug that’ll be fixed.

#

Is there a workaround for all (2nd) settlements being claimed? [Question]

I didn't know about the maps when I claimed my first settlement but now when I use one, regardless of where I am in the galaxy, they all say claimed by Crown Royal Hotel.

I'm assuming a patch will fix this, just wondering if there's a workaround in the meantime.

Thanks!

Edit: Auto Mod said this won't be posted for a few days so my apologies if this has already been fixed. If so feel free to disregard.

#

What are ways we can we Gib back to HG? [Discussion]

I feel if they added the option to buy quicksilver and kept adding stuff to the quicksilver store, I wouldn't have a problem with it. After all of these free updates they surpassed their promises. They can keep the free updates and changes coming but a way to support them while also getting small things in return would be great and I'd be happy to invest back into the company in this form. I know it would probably be taken the wrong way by some and get bad press, but what other ways can we gib back and make sure this game never stops growing?

#

Am I the only one who can't land or summon my ship? [Question]

I'm on PS4 3.62 Any time I try to summon my ship near absolutely anything, even small rocks and grass, it can't land there, I have to run while trying to summon the ship until it decides to register one single area in like a thousand unit radius near where I originally was trying to summon the ship. Landing isn't any better, I'm now circling landing pads, pre flattened areas, and any type of structure I want to land near whatsoever being told the landing area isn't clear, I've tried to land within around 100-150 units of literally any structure or drop pod, or the goddamn settlements and am just completely forbidden from getting my ship any closer and still have to circle around for a few minutes before I'm even given the opportunity to land.

Terraforming [Discussion]

Just bought the game with my friends [Suggestion]

I like it and I'm quite addicted to it so far, but I just wish there were more party focused objectives or more player interaction.

Do Access ramps not work anymore? [Question]

Title:

Access ramps won't snap to anything and I don't seem to be able to toggle their various slope-types. by rotating it.

It's just a flat walkway that isn't useful for anything.

How do I build stairs/ramps up to doorways for the prefab rooms or corridors?

For that matter, cuboid floors and interior stairs also don't seem to snap to anything either.

Do you guys play on normal or survival mode? What do you prefer? [Question]

I like playing on survival, but honestly it’s starting to feel like a nuisance. I don’t like playing games that are too easy, and playing on normal feels like a sand box almost. So I picked survival.

I have not found a perfect planet yet, any of the lush planets have horrible sentinels or horrible storms. Also, only being able to carry 250 resources in a stack is just simply annoying, but then again it’s supposed to be a survival difficulty.

What do y’all think?

How high can you build an indium mine? And am i doing it right? [Question]

I’m building one of those “indium mines” and doing the method of stacking groups of 4 extractors on top of each other, and giving each group it’s own storage. (Atm each group has 4 silos)

I’m stacking by spacing each extractor 3 alloy walls between each other vertically, and was wondering how high i can build this thing before something stops me, if 3 alloy walls is incorrect spacing, or any other advice. Thanks!

Infinite growing time for most outdoors plants [Bug]

I'm playing on Steam. I searched and found other people who have had trouble with plant growth time showing as infinite, but the solution always seemed to end up being 1) It was a side effect of them messing with the system clock to try to speed up some other quest. 2) It was a power issue. 3) It could be fixed by replacing them with new ones. 4) People not realizing plant growth times had changed drastically. None of these seem to be the case for me. What IS the case is that until recently my last save was in 2018, so a lot has changed under the hood. Though this isn't something I've seen reports of in recent days, so if it is something specifically connected to Frontiers it doesn't seem to be affecting many people.

In my case these are plants grown outside, in environments to which they are native, so power shouldn't come into play. I haven't messed with my clock. If I plant a new one, it says infinite growing time right from the start. Of my four bases on four different planets with different environments, this infinite growing time trouble is happening on three of them. The echinocacti are doing alright; but frostwort, solar vines, and star brambles are boned.

After writing the above I decided to try starting a new base on a new planet as a possible replacement. Went to another world where star brambles are native, set up a base, planted a new star bramble... infinite growing time!

#

Ship strafing. [Question]

Hello, I'm new to the game only about 15-20 hours in. As far as I know you can not strafe. I was wondering if they gave a reason for why not? Most any other space flight games have strafe. Makes space fights more fluid and enjoyable.

Help! The terrain my base was on is gone! [Bug]

I came back to the game for the frontier update after leaving the game since February and when I went to my base and all of the terrain is gone! the builds themselves are still there but the land that it sits on is gone and now (most of) my base is floating a bit above the ocean any way to fix it?!

#

Is anyone else running into construction limit reached? [Bug]

I was trying to explore the new base parts but it stops me from building anything bigger than a barebones 4x4 shack with no furnishings. My base complxity limit option is set to disabled and ive built WAY bigger bases before this update. Was hoping this was a common enough bug that maybe itll be fixed in a patch or that there is a fix. Im dreading the possibility of having to start a new save. I have over 550 hours in the save slot and have an entire life carved out for my "Traveller-me"

#

Settlement "running smoothly" ? Try returning to the one from the first mission. Worked for me! [Suggestion]

I didn't like the freezing cold planet that the game sent me to for my first settlement, so I took off after a couple decisions to find one on a paradise planet that I already had a base on. After finding a nice one, I was hit with the same bug as so many other people; the settlement "running smoothly" was preventing me from making any progress. I tried several other settlements as well as switching back and forth between settlements. This went on 5 or 6 times until it finally dawned on me to go back to the original one on the ice planet. It was actually surprisingly difficult to find again, but once I did, my game seems to be back on track.

#

Frontiers - my tips to avoid game breakers [Information]

After reading the many theads, and restarting several times, I figured I'd pass along what has been working for me. (PS4)

Start with a save before the update & update to 3.62

launch game, goto space station, buy a settlement map, then go to the planet where you want your settlement

land and create save on the planet.

wait 5 min or so for planet to fully load (not sure if beeded, but it helped me, all 5 planets of mine i checked had a settlement)

use map, if settlement shows up, go and claim, if not reload and repeat.

once at settlement, claim, and start missions

then wait. and waaaaait. it helps to do so in a different galaxy.

get message, build

so far

I've built: office 2(?) x 20 min farm 3 x 1.5 hours landing pad 3 x 4 hours power generator ? x 18 min

it took over 18 real time hours from landing pad to the power generator request

update 3.63 should adjust the wait times, but if you play in a set order, it does progress, just VERY slowly

i currently sit at: Prod: 255k Maint: 283k Debt: 207k

power should add 18k for prod.

Can you build a base in a settlement? [Question]

Sorry if this is a dumb question I was trying to do this today (I wanted to build storage for easy access) but it said there was already something there. Having never seen that before I wasn't 100% sure if it was the settlement.

#

Building menu in the office [Discussion]

I really have no idea why they didn't just give us a full build menu in the administration terminal so we can choose what builds we wanna start building, since it takes hours to finish and on top of that it's messy having to wait for an opportunity before you can progress further, a bit annoying

Is there a way to fix my ship from afar? [Question]

I found a ship, claimed it, and fixed it enough to fly it back to my home planet. When I got there, I tried to summon my first ship to travel again and the thrusters are empty, the first ship is also not marked on my HUD anymore. Is it lost for good?

Freighter hunting and storage space [Question]

It's been so long since I've had to go freighter hunting that I've forgotten the answer to this:

Let's say you finish a freighter battle, hop in to check the freighter specs and you've got yourself an S class. You go talk to the captain and check out the freighter's storage and you see there's a white box encompassing 42 of the maximum 48 storage slots. Is that white box a hard limit on that freighter's storage size, or can that box be expanded to encompass the remaining 6 slots as well?

Can’t claim settlements? [Discussion]

Every settlement I go to says it’s “another players settlement” even if it’s an undiscovered system/planet and I know it’s brand new. I get the dialogue from npc that the sentinels are about to attack, but now event triggers.

Anyone else getting this bug?

No hazardous flora in bases.. [Suggestion]

It would be nice if hazardous flora wouldn't spawn within our base bubbles... Especially the gas puffs when I make cave bases. Unnecessary! I had 14 pop up in one spot yesterday right in one of my pathways. Fourteen!!

Stuck on Patterns In Time [Question]

Patterns in Time sent me to an underwater Vy'Keen reliquary to get an artifact, and there is nothing here aside from some sealed sea chests and some weird altar that gave me a trident key. I used the key to open a chest, and received Lustrious Bullion, but that didn't complete the quest, and I can't interact with the altar again to get another key or anything. The quest marker is just in the middle of one of the pillars of the reliquary. Any advice? Am I missing something? Alot of the reliquary was buried, I dug up a lot of it trying to find stuff

Sentinels and authorities after me??? [Question]

Okay so I found a plant on a really good looking paradise planet and it opened a little green pearl or something came out and I picked it up and then sentinels started swarming me so I went to a different part of the planet but they were still there. So I left the planet and then the authorities started chasing me??? Like, what did I do??? how I’d I make them stop. I’m worried about shooting authorities as it will lower my standing right? I really want to build on the planet but everything is trying to kill me!

Frontiers settlement bug? [Bug]

All Settlements that I come across besides the one I received from the distress signal looks like this and say they are owned by another player when I am the first one to discover the system/planet I am in/on.

Must say the game can be crazy disheartening for a new player [Discussion]

I played only 6 hours so far. On one occassion I found two relics, one of which incredibly rare (worth 2 million). Upon trying to return to my ship the game crashed, as it had already done 4 times before. After I reloaded the game not only did it remove both my salvaged items out of my inventory, it also destroyed my base for no reason.

I'm not really sure what to say besides that that was obviously enough for me to alt-f4 and stop playing for the day. If the game is so atrociously prone to bugging out, you'd expect it to save more often than just leaving your ship, but it does not.

Can’t Triangulate! Please help. [Question]

During the mission “Alone Amidst the Stars” I have to triangulate my position on three different planets, only except I can’t triangulate on the second planet. The icon is sitting on a table in a small building with a computer in it. I interacted with the computer and it scanned something, I believe it was ancient ruins on another planet. I put down a signal booster on the planet, several times in different places and I couldn’t triangulate the position, I also tried it on the planet with the ancient ruins and still nothing. Is it glitched? What am I supposed to do about this?

#

New to game, found a crashed ship but it disappeared... [Question]

I'm brand new to the game as of yesterday and have a question. I ran across a crashed ship that has nothing to do with the main quest line on the 2nd planet I visited. I found it via distress signal. I claimed the ship but didn't have the parts to fix it as it required things I haven't researched yet or unlocked. I set a beacon by it so I can find it again later.

I hopped back into my starter ship and went back to my first planet to get something from my base and came back, but the ship was gone. Only thing left was the flag, empty crates, and my beacon. I heard that this may be part of my collection now and will resurface when I get a freighter, but I wanted to make sure.

Any info is appreciated, thanks!

The new menu, while great to select specific parts quickly, is very frustrating [Discussion]

I wish they kept the "hold x to delete" instead of switching between modes and having to reselect the same part over and over again, and also kept the press R to rotate 90° instead of the slow ass scroll speed it has now with the mouse wheel. Jumping between menus got so much worse with the updated design, even if its easier to find certain parts.

Also snapping is as bad as it has always been when placing parts indoors.

Can't find my settlement - icon is not showing for it? [Question]

So I've been hanging out in my solar system with the settlement. Today, I log on and my settlement needs me for Sentinel activity. One problem - the icon that shows you where you settlement is is missing. I have it selected as the primary quest, but it's still not showing the icon on the planet or on my compass HUD. I can't find my settlement! Help?

I tried relogging and stuff, but still no icon. How do I find my settlement?

#

Is there a way to force the game to select the living ship you want? [Question]

So I have an issue. I looked up different living shops, found one I liked, used the portal cords to teleport to it's system (yes, I made sure it's the right galaxy), and am now here trying to get it to pick that living ship. The issue is, it's picking other living shipd in that galaxy. Mainly, the same two or three. Is there a way to get it to pick the one I want? I've already learned that it seems to not pick a living ship that's on the same planet as you when you accept the call, so I know to not be on the planet it's on, but is there any other ways that it selects a living ship? Does it just select whichever one is closest to you that's not on the same planet as you? Or is it just random and I have to keep rerolling. I've rerolled about 8 times so far

#

No more ancient bones on my planet? [Question]

Hello, I’m new to the game. I have about 44 hours in, and a few days ago I found a aggressive sentinel planet with ancient bones. However, after the recent update, a lot of my planets (including this one) don’t have ancient bones anymore. Is this a bug? Is this a feature that I don’t know about?

#

Deleted Bases? [Question]

Hey everyone!

Just have a question about deleted bases in NMS I have over 80 hours playing and have never found this issue but a deleted base of mine keeps reappearing on my planet.

It claims now that I am a “guest” and unable to interact with the base which doesn’t make sense and makes it so I can’t try to like re-delete it.

I reloaded my save and saw the base disappear again but now I place a computer down and it claims that the site is already occupied by a base, even though I’m the only one there.

Is there a time on how long the game takes to actually process bases being deleted?

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Can’t claim Golden Vector even though I finished Expedition 1 [Bug]

I am on Xbox One. I completed Expedition 1 during its original run, and I even have an existing save from Expedition 2 where I have claimed the Golden Vector and it’s my primary ship. On my main save, I purposely left it unclaimed so as not to take a ship slot, since I could always claim it later. With the latest patch, I decided to load up my main save and try it out. When I was on the Anomaly and went to the Quicksilver vendor, the Golden Vector is darkened out and unavailable, stating that I need to complete Expedition 1 to claim it. I already did! All my other claimed rewards such as the title and banner from Expedition 1 do show as “already claimed” since I have claimed them. What do?

Exploration [Modding]

I love the new NMS. I've loved NMS since day one, and the direction the game has now gone in. I love the free updates. I appreciate the work Hello Games have put in. But it speaks volumes that if I want to explore an interesting, vast, strange and memorable universe, I have to visit a modded version of the game from three years ago. This game can be so much more. This footage, IMO, is an example of that.

How does inter-galaxy travel work with these newer updates? [Question]

Alright yall, I hate to ask such basic questions that have been asked before but so much has changed with these last updates, I see so much conflicting info and half of it is from 5 years ago! I have no idea how the mechanics work currently, at this point. Hopefully someone can enlighten me : )

​ If you travel to another galaxy, what do you loose, what do you keep? If you travel, can you go back to your bases in other galaxy's, through teleporters, or another way that is easier?

Thanks!!

#

Did I mess up my Frontier Settlement? [Question]

I was a few steps into the original Settlers quest, building a multibarn. There was new request for materials or citizen thing every 1 1/2 hour. I ended up buying a settlement map and opened it on the planet my base is on. I took charge of it but only had one civilian decision and no build request and I've been at it for a few hours after taking charge of the new settlement. Is this randomness expected or did I mess it up by getting a new settlement before original quest was done?

#

Do updates apply to old saves? [Question]

I have an old save from back in like 2019 when they added multiplayer and I’m trying to pick it up instead of a new game. In the new game I tried out, I had two paradise planets and one paradise moon in my first jump and my old save, I haven’t found anything even close to a comfortable planet in several jumps.

Does my old save not update with the update that made it so nice planets were more common or am I just getting really unlucky? Do I need to start a new game to get the effect of all the updates?

#

Ship displays wrong inventory after purchase.. any fix? [Bug]

Wasn't able to google this bug..

I bought a new ship with 17 slots. My old ship had 15 slots.

But after buying it, when I open the ship inventory it only has 13 slots, and they are laid out differently.

I still have the same upgrades that I saw when buying the ship, just a different inventory layout.

However, the game still knows that the ship has 17 slots. If I fill the 13 slots I can see with items, I can keep on shooting asteroids to collect new stacks of items in the remaining 4 slots, but I cannot see them.. (I can tell because I DON'T get the "Ship inventory full"-message when I get stuff that I don't have a stack for in my inventory.)

When I go up to an NPC with a ship, and click "Compare Price", THEN I can see the actual inventory of my ship on the left side. All 17 slots in the correct layout, with the hidden items.

Here is they way my ship ACTUALLY is, on the left side. That's what I saw when I bought it.

But here is what I see in my actual ship inventory..

I have tried restarting the game, entering and exiting stations/freighter, etc.. Nothing seems to resolve it.

Anyone have any idea how to fix this?

The only thing I can think of that I haven't tried is buying another ship, and switching between them to see if that fixes it.. Will try that tomorrow

Anyone having a positive experience with your settlement? [Discussion]

So i was able to get mine on a paradise planet which is nice. I've been able to build a bar and a landing pad and that's it. Nothing else to build. I've sent 2 expeditions out 1 did nothing and the other lost me 2 geks. How's others doin? Also we can't talk to out settlers yet until a patch?

Co-Op Multiplayer State of Game [Question]

I've wanted to buy this game and play with friends for a while now - but the last time I looked the co-op multiplayer looked a bit janky and inconsistent.

We're looking for something similar to Raft, Valheim etc but it looks like NMS has some sync issues that makes it not great for consistent online co-op play? Is this still the case now?

Are towns a late game thing? [Question]

I just started playing this game though I did play it on PS4 at launch and I the towns part funny enough is what brought me back into it because it sounds just like star wars really. Three systems in and I already found a perfect planet to make a base on and if possible even a town. Do i need to find an already established town or do I make one from scratch? I cant seem to find any info on them.

Probably will go through the story but honestly I just want to explore and adventure. The last update I played was the introduction of base building so I have zero knowledge on whats been added since but I can definitely say it feels like a whole new game.

Easy carbon [Information]

I don't know if this is common knowledge or anything, but I noticed that shooting plants/patches of plants with your ship seems to return ridiculous amounts of carbon, around 500-1,500 normally. Getting carbon was an inconvenience for me until I found out about using oxygen but even this is free and much faster. Hope this helps someone

Lost my settlement, any ideas on how to find it again? [Question]

The tool tips says you can portal to your settlement... That is a lie. I've tried from the space station, my freighter, and a few of my bases and nothing. If I select the mission in the log I can see the way point in the galaxy map but only in the galaxy map, nothing once I wrap there. I think I found the planet it's on but again no way point. Any ideas?

Discovered Five Years Ago [Discussion]

I just landed in a system that had been discovered five years ago (by MindAche). It's really cool to think someone discovered this place back in 2016 and I'm just now landing there as well.

Upgrading my freighter to a bigger one. [Question]

I'm getting ready to upgrade my free freighter to a bigger one and maybe a class up but in my current freighter there is a metric ton of resources and supplies in storage rooms I've built.

Do these supplies and rooms just transfer freighters? Do I lose these resources and supplies if i upgrade ships? Do I need to either store or sell all these resources before upgrading my freighter?

#

Should I get a settlement? [Question]

I’ve seen a bunch of posts by people that are bored with wait times in their settlement or have huge debts or something along those lines. So my question is: is it worth it? Settlements don’t seem like a great investment, at least right now.

#

The buildings serve no purpose in my favor [Discussion]

The settlement update is cool and all my only complaint is the buildings don't really serve much purpose they're just there just got done building the market place on my settlement to boost my productivity but it doesn't serve a purpose in my favor would be nice to walk in and trade with the settlement either for upgrades or resources just makes the settlement worthless at this point

Background music [Discussion]

I've played NMS since 2016, and while I love the original music I've been trying new music to do the soundtrack, so far I always use Tangerine Dream, Ozric Tentacles, Wendy Carlos, Jean Michelle Jarre, mike Oldfield, apex twins and alike, and it goes amazing with the game, but I was wondering if you had some other suggestions.

#

Do you have to complete the Settlement "tutorial" before using the Settlement maps? [Question]

I really don't like the planet my settlement is on. So I just destroyed the sentinels then when I got promoted to be the mayor, or whatever, I declined because I didn't like it. I figured that was enough, grabbed me a settlement map, went to a planet I did like, used it, and nothing happened. It just used the map. I saw others having this issue, some saying a save and reload fixed it for them, but without really knowing how far in the settlement mission they got, I can't be sure if their situation is the same as mine. I did try a reload and it didn't work. I've also tried different solar systems. Do I need to go back and work on that crappy settlement until the mission is completely gone before I can find a new one? What's the earliest someone has been able to use a map?

#

Settlement problem! [Bug]

PROBLEM:

Anyone else having this problem?There's no icon and no teleporter entry back to my settlement. I have no way of knowing where on the planet the settlement is. It's not showing up anywhere. I am getting an alert that it's being attacked but can't freaking get there to do anything about it.

#

Constant Sentinel Attacks On Settlement [Question]

I just started playing this game after the recent Sentinels update and found my first settlement. I had a couple of questions about them if anyone knows the answer.

There are constantly 3 waves of sentinels that keep attacking my settlement and I kill them all and then 2 or 3 minutes later it starts all over again. Very annoying when I'm trying to just chill and develop my settlement. It says the sentinel alert level is 22% which doesn't seem that high to me.

Will anything bad happen from me just ignoring these attacks like my settlers being killed or buildings destroyed?

Or are there some defensive options I will unlock later to deal with them?

Any tips would be appreciated.

New base building problems [Rant/Discussion] [Suggestion]

Ok, so i'm trying to build on a mountain with uneven terrain and im trying to use the new Stone Arches as a '"support" or "stilts" for my base (Because a good part of the base would be floating). That creates a little problem. The pieces above (windows, walls, etc.), detecting the arches, auto-adapt to a "2nd floor" or "3rd floor" phase automatically, and it makes using said arches the way i want a nightmare. Ok, so i removed them, walls back at "floor 1". Now there is another problem. I'm making a main floor with 2 sub floors that hang under the main floor. I wanted said sub floors to be my room, 2-wall tall with all the walls being the new 3-window wooden piece. Gourgeous view, i might add. The problem? Whenever i try and stack them, the one below becomes the Horizontal Wooden Windows, which is already another component i can add freely, but do not want to use! I just want to make a luxurious mountain lodge with a big window to see the great view, but i can't thanks to the new auto-adapting base parts. My sugestion? Let us toggle between "Auto-Adapt" and "Manual Selection". Auto-Adapt would work just like it does now, but Manual Selection would allow the player to have full control over the parts, including being able to select what "stage" it's in. Seriously, i was soooo hyped to build my new base (something i had been planing weeks before the update came out) but was extremely let down and infuriated because i was fighting the placement A.I. to place a freaking window. If this is suposed to be a building update, please, PLEASE let me have more control over what i can build.

TL;DR: Please let me choose what variant i want for each building part.

Unable to take over as Overseer [Bug]

Heads Up -- Don't Upgrade Your Freighter/Capital Ship If You Have Stuff in Your Refiners [Bug]

I had 10,000 Runaway Mould that was finished processing and sitting in my refiners on my ship (would have been 2,000 Nanites if my conversion is correct). I bought/upgraded my capital ship and checked on my refiners afterwards and they were empty. Everything on my freighter base was in order--nothing missing as far as ship components/rooms. Just the stuff in my refiners.

Just an FYI for when you upgrade your freighter. Clean out your refiners! This wasn't a huge loss for me, but hopefully this will save someone from some grief.

I'll make a comment on the bug thread as well, but I figured this should get it's own post since it might help someone from losing stuff. If mods need to delete, no hard feelings either way.

#

How often should I be getting settlement activity? [Question]

I've seen some posts about settlements that indicated settlement requests and building opportunities should present themselves pretty often. But I get one, maybe two requests in a whole day of gameplay. Which is a little underwhelming considering any building request can take up to two hours.

Is that normal or is there something wrong with my game?

#

Mission progress stuck glitch [Bug]

So I wanted to start a new save and play through the game from scratch, but I ended up getting stuck on the “Alone amidst the stars” mission. I’ve gone to all the places to triangulate position, but on the third one (66%), I get to the location, use the little console inside the building as it says, but after that, it says to place the beacon just like before but it won’t let me triangulate position. Also the mission marker is still on the console inside the building, but I’ve already interacted with it, and won’t let me use it again. I should say that I am 100% sure it’s not a custom marker that I placed, as it is the same red marker with a symbol in it to identify it as the mission marker. Any ideas on how to fix this or am I missing something if it’s not a glitch?

#

does any body else have the "other player's settlement" issue? [Bug]

I started from scratch on a new save I made a few days before the DLC came out, and I was excited so I bought a map from the cartographer to find one, and I got there, killed all the sentinels, and was unable to claim it, and I still cannot claim a settlement, they also thank me for killing the sentinels at every settlement I go to, I'm so confused.

#

Growing settlements questions [Question]

When k first got my settlement I had a choice to build either a medium accomodation or a marketplace. I chose the home because more people were in favour of it even though we really needed a marketplace for productivity. I decided to make the people happy first and then build the marketplace after.

Now the home is finished and I didn't get another offer to build for 24 hours. The only offer I got was for a communication tower that everybody wanted but doesn't do a huge amount for productivity.

My question is, will I get the option to build the market place again or is that option gone?

Bonus question: Vy'keen A claims he is the owner of an ancient tomb. Vy'keen B claims it is his. Forensic analysis shows someone tried scratching away the name on the tomb. Who is the true owner of the tomb? (This decision caused my settlement to get an atmosphere of suspicion).

PS4 | Still looking for a perfect planet to start my Settlement, am I the only one? [Question]

Like the title says, I'm still looking for the perfect planet to build a Settlement on. Since the day Frontiers came out, am I the only one?

I've discovered so many planets the last few days, but never encountered one that gave me that, "YES, this is the place" feeling..

Second question that came through my mind right now is, are there already "Community planets" where people are building their Settlements?

So my friend and I are considering buying NMS... [Question]

I just wanted to know what the game is like for 2 guys who are wanting a cooperative experience. Is the multilayer aspect purely just being in proximity with other players, or can we have a combined base and resources? Can we work together to achieve the same goal and explore the galaxy together?

Also just generally, would you recommend this game for the $40AUD price tag?

I think what NMS needs is a very clear, organized progression structure with multiple factions [Suggestion]

Imagine the following sequence of events, you start the game, repair you ship, discover the space anomaly, everything like always. But then, instead of just leaving you to guess how all the systems in the game work, Polo and Nada introduce you to three prominent factions, all with their own characters, backstory, ranks and rewards.

The warriors guild| These guys wish to get rid of all the threats to the galaxy. They will present you with increasingly more difficult combat challenges in both ground and space. Including pirate bases where you actually have to have shootouts with guys on the ground. Sentinel fortresses you have to tackle with multiple players and end in a boss fight against a giant mech. Space battles against pirate frigates and biological horror infested nests and space stations.

As you advance in rank with these guys the will give you combat improvements to weapon and ship, they will eventually give you a NPC wingmen in the skies for space combat and a the mech for ground combat. Also there will be exclusive cosmetics for multiplayer combat missions.

Explorers guild| They want to explore! They will ask you to go to downed freighters, ruins, abandoned space stations, hazardous planets and environmental disasters, they will also give you other fun timed challenges with randomized buffs and debuffs to make it interesting. As you advance they will give you better environmental resistance and other cool abilities like taming and riding animals. Advance in rank and they will start granting you vehicles like the buggy and the submarine. Once again exclusive cosmetics from multiplayer expeditions.

Settlers guild| They want you to create civilization. They will start by slowly handing you the tools necessary to create better, more complex bases for yourself, then they will give you access to...

re-roll a settlement? [Discussion]

so, I ignored the message til i found a beautiful paradise planet with rainbow bubbles.

but after scum saving it only ever pointed me to another galaxy or some shitty moon.

so I go for the moon, do some stuff, build a marketplace then decide hunt down a settlement on paradise via maps.

found a B settlement with horrible horrible stats. but all maps on this planet pointed to it, no matter what i did, and i think i might have saved after finding it.. as far as i can tell, its the only settlement on the planet and i'm stuck with it. so i adopted it, but i dont have any 'build requests' or .. anything. ive built the default control centre and thats it.

so i seem to be stuck with a fked shit settlement on the best planet ive ever seen

is there some deep file structure thing i can erase?

How do we get back to our settlements quickly? [Question]

Hey all, not a new player. Just a returning player. Missed the last couple of content patches and wanted to check them out.

Anyway, just set up a settlement and then started visiting some of my old bases since it's been a while and I wanted to see them again.

Now - how do I quickly return to my settlement? Are we supposed to build a base by our settlement or is there a way back that I'm overlooking?

An in-game message told me I could return to my settlement via a teleporter, but I'm not seeing that option (neither on the anomaly or on a space station terminus).

Thanks in advance!

Can you sell the ship you find during the Awaking quest? I've been contacted a few times by the life forms I'm helping, but does it require me to use this ship? I have another ship I like better and there are a LOT of things to fix on this one I don't want to deal with.

PermaDeath Pros and Cons? [Question]

I loved the idea of this game but failed to get hooked on normal difficulty several times. When I tried Survival, it clicked. I've since basically 'beat' the game at 120 hours: stasis farm base, S class freighter, all mods, ect.

I really want to play more, but don't want to fish for random ships/multitools and the infinite exploration doesn't hook me if there isn't some sense of progression to it.

Does PermaDeath have a solid community and different considerations? Or is it just survival with more fear? I think I died twice in my survival run and one of those times was a bug.

TL;DR wanna start a fresh playthrough with more difficulty/challenge/community. Is PermaDeath this or no?

Best ways to backup saves on Xbox? [Question]

Hi all. I play NMS on an XSX and at one point unfortunately had a glitch upon moving the console to another room that it removed all of the progress on one of my saves beyond 1 hour. I tried everything in my power to get it back but the save was lost (it still shows 1 hour to this day).

It discouraged me from playing for a bit but after frontiers I decided to give it another shot and started a new save. The problem is, I’m terrified of it happening again. I love NMS and don’t want to possibly pour hours into something I love for it to vanish.

Anyways, I just wanted to ask if you guys have any tips to backup your save data? Since I know from experience that these systems aren’t perfect and bugs happen, I really want to make sure I do everything in my power not to lose another save.

Settlement Building [Question]

So, I built the landing point on the Settlement and...........I have no options to build anything else, do I just wait? Am I missing something? What do I do?

#

Is anyone else loosing progress on settlement construction projects? [Bug]

I'm not sure if maybe I am just loosing track of the steps, or if it's resetting the progress. I was just building something now that was a quick build, 20 minutes, so i was running around collecting salvage data. When i came back I couldnt even find the structure, even though it was telling me where it was. Reloaded from a save from 1 minute ago and now i could see the construction site. But when I went there it wanted material for the basic structure. Isn't that the first step?

#

New to No Mans Sky…I love the ambition but I feel like you never get the whole experience…just in this constant wait for a “definitive” edition one day down the road… [Discussion]

Hi guys! I’m new to NMS! Initially wrote it off years ago due to the reviews and impressions but the frontiers expansion made me curious and got hooked and have been playing hours on end this past week. Definitely happy that I gave NMS a chance!

Especially if you love space exploration and sci-fi like I do…that said, I can’t help but shake the feeling that the game itself is always in this constant state of “patch the weasel”�

Great concepts, but I never feel like I’m playing a definitive finished product.

Hopefully they will add settlement cities one day, but again, even certain mechanics for the current settlements seem like it’s in this eventual phase of “patch the weasel”.

Definitely feel conflicted about that and wish hello games would just slow the reigns down a bit and create a polished and complete product without the need to constantly patch new fixes in.

Bug - Weapons Research: Destroy Planetary Depots [Bug]

Yet another post about this infamous bug.

I got the quest, had a target selected on a neighboring planet in the same system, and proceeded to destroy it.. from my ship.. because the description in the bottom-right doesn't say to use your omni-tool weapons.

A day later it's still destroyed.

What I've done: Rebuilt the weapons station multiple times Rebuilt the station on different planets, different systems, and even in my freighter I've destroyed multiple other depots on the same and different planets Restarted the game multiple times, with and without the weapons station existing

Nothing is kicking it into working. It just keeps pointing to the same destroyed depot and nothing I do to any other depots seem to trigger any change.

Any tricks I've missed?

Nexus missions bug [Bug]

#

I can't find my own settlement [Bug]

My very first settlement was on an extreme toxic planet, so I was wondering if I could get one on a paradise planet. After some digging I found out that I could actually change my currently settlement for another one.

I bought some settlement maps and every single settlement I've found has been already taken by another player. I felt very unlucky and decided to stick with the settlement that I already have, at least for now, but then... I could not find my own settlement afterwards. All I can see now is the settlements which belongs to other players, but my own settlement I cannot find.

Does anyone have experienced something similar?

What can I do in order to fix it?

How to mass change colour while building? [Question]

Trying to recolor now with the new building tools but can't seem to paint sections without having to re-elect each individual piece then open menu, change colour then select the colour I want.

Is there a paint tool I am missing where I can just select the colour I want then just go around spamming all the pieces I want to change colour on?

#

About ships [Question]

So I’m somewhat new and I’m looking to buy another type of ship, problem is I know nothing. Why do I see a class fighters worth 1.5m and b class worth 5-10m same with any the price doesn’t match the class. And what are the numbers after the class? Like B:23+6? What am I gonna want stat wise for each ship? Like yeah I can guess damage potential is best for a fighter but what are each type good at? So many questions to this beautiful game but I love it

#

Did they get of some of the colour customization on base prefabs? [Question]

I'm coming back after a couple month hiatus to some major updates, and it seems like while I'm trying to expand my base, there isn't as many material options available. I'm kind of sad because I had my whole base themed and when I went to change something, it reset it to the default.

The left block is the old one, the right is the updated one when I went to hit "paint"

Thanks in advance :)

Permadeath run ruined. [Bug]

So I just lost a permadeath run that I was 17 hours into because of a build mode bug which I initially reported to ZenDesk when Frontiers released, but has actually gotten worse since the two patches have released.

What happened was I went into build mode, toggled free camera on, and simply took the camera to the edge of its range, where there used to be a wireframe sphere barrier that would stop you from taking the camera further away. When Frontiers first released and I was experimenting with the new building, I did this and had my camera launched a few hundred units directly up, but cancelling out of build mode brought it back to where I was. Some parts of my base had despawned due to the camera distance, but exiting and re-entering my building fixed that immediately. No harm, no foul.

This time was different. When I hit the edge of the free camera's range, the camera shot up, and the ground under me despawned, sending me into the abyss. I almost immediately tried using my jetpack to get back to the surface, but I couldn't make it all the way up. After a second more of falling, I was spat out on the surface, with all the momentum I'd gained from falling, and bam, instant death.

This is the second permadeath run I've lost to gravity, but it's the first that I've lost due to what was only 2 days ago a harmless and kinda funny bug. Anyone else had this glitch happen to them? It seems like it would have been found and mentioned pretty quickly considering how easy it is to replicate.

#

Lost my save files. [Question]

Like the title says, I haven't played in a while and when I logged on to try the new update my save files were gone. I'm not too upset about loosing my game as I hardly remember what I was up to last time I played but I have one issue. I want to jump back into the game but the story and base building missions seem like such a slog to get through. I feel like I remember it taking upwards of 20 hours to get through this stuff. I just want to hop back into a game with stuff unlocked and get into it. Is there any way to easily FF through the quests or maybe some sort of save edit, I've searched google but all I found were some pretty out of date files that I am weary to use.

tl;dr: Is there a way to FF through the story/base building missions or skip them outright? I just want to play the game.

Void Egg Bug on Expedition save [Bug]

So I just got around to doing my Void Egg missions on my expedition save and I've run into a bug that won't let me complete the mission that requires you to visit graves I think the problem lies in the fact that the game doesn't recognize that I have all the glyphs as the main story hasn't progressed past this Ive visited more than 20 graves and all they want to do is give me glyphs not what the mission wants me to do...

Any fixes for this would be greatly appreciated if it's just a bug that I'm going to have to wait for a patch for then so be it but I would want a better way to report this bug to HG thanks

I'm done for a while [Discussion]

Until they fix all the base building aspects they broke in this last update, I'm putting no mans sky away. I am livid that half of my bases either don't work or are just acting janky. And trying to make new bases is a nightmare I'm so tired of it. So until they fix it, I'm done.

Bruh I’m in ✨Pain✨ [Meme]

So I recently installed the game again and decided to go visit my underwater base that I spent ages working on that also had an island next to it where myself and my mates could land their ships. Anyway I teleported in and bam my ✨entire✨ island is gone and my underwater base is filled with water & to top it all of there’s a random player living in my base trying to kill me every-time I get close :\

#

If your power connections at a base are broken…do this [Information]

If you visit your base and see the power connection broken (from a EM hotspot/solar panels to a room), place a battery inside the room, delete the existing wiring and create a new wire connection from the source directly to the battery. It’ll power your base and any resource/gas extractors connected through your room again.

I encountered this on multiple bases (including three Activated Indium farms). Everything was powered down despite the power source being fully functional. Using a battery inside the room as the point of connection brought everything back online.

Do your Emergency Broadcast Reciever work? [Bug]

I got myself an EBR from Helios, and decided to hunt for a derelict freighter. I activated the EBR, went back and forth, Pulse-Driving the whole time and found nothing. I thought maybe the system had no derelict freighter i could find, so i tried another system. And then another. And another.

Half an hour, and about 2000 Tritium later, i still found nothing, making sure that the EBR is activated the whole time, to no avail...

Driveable Frigate and ai crew [Suggestion]

Dear devs i have thought about this a lot is it possible to get one of the smaller support frigates and a ai crew iv always wanted to be the commander of a frigate being hunted down across the universe by a new threat something like Battle star this would be a awesome feature.

We have travelled millions of planets and still found no real threat bar the sentinels. You have these giant frigates and amazing space combat and now settlements Could we please get a enemy to fear and way to run and fight back.

Any Weapon Overhaul in the plan? [Suggestion]

This game is actually amazing, the only thing I really wanted to shine more is the combat system, would be cool to customize the weapon more by adding class types (smg, sniper, etc) and having the ability to aim down sights, will make the whole thing more interesting.

Did frontiers or any previous update mess with alitutes of trading posts/buildings/landscapes? [Bug]

Hi guys,

so i came back for Frontiers after a 3-month brake from NMS just to find my ship in my base constantly spawning IN the textures of adjacent buildings or landscapes, rocks, etc.....since this area is blocked by the game aka mesh i can reach my ship when i spawn in my base. for some reason, mostly because it has already spawned near me, i cant spawn it again. its no biggie since its not game braking, but its very annoying.

same with some older bases that are 30m up in the air^^ anyone got some idea how i get my ship from spawning somewhere different? (moving the base is no option, took me way too long to build it)

Thx in advance

PS: if someone is willing to take me to Rewmanawa Galaxy039, pls hit me up :)

Unable to add more buildings to settlement [Question]

New base part woes... [Discussion]

Finally started building a new layout with the new parts and have run into a number of issues...

Stairs are pretty messed up right now - along with quite a few other pieces. Stairs seem to either way to snap just far enough off a floor panel to render them useless - or not snap at all without leaving a floor gap underneath them - and that's not always feasible. If you snap a wall on the backside of stairs - sometimes it snaps in a way that part of the wall pokes up through the top of the stairs, creating an obstacle that cannot be passed without sprinting.

Alloy arches - when they are the 2nd+ wall up, they gain paneling that is just low enough to block characters from passing through them. Alloy slopes also gain this paneling and it blocks off stairs when used as stairway siding.

Extruded paneling also doesn't count as a surface, so nothing small-ish can be placed on them without the object clipping behind the panel to the point where its unseen.

I do love the new parts - they are incredibly good - but they really need to refine the placement system a bit more. I also wouldn't complain if we could have manual control over which/whether wall segments auto-changed - as that seems to be the crux of many of the issues I've seen.

How do you get a new spaceship? :) [Discussion]

How far do I need to go [Question]

Played on and off but never too long (made it to galaxy 2 before) and always have gaps in my play time so I start a new game to relearn. Now it seems like every other system in Euclid is discovered. I want to build my first big base in an area that hasn't been visited. Should I try to galaxy 3 or something before I settle in? Would galaxy 2 be 90% unexplored? I like feeling like I'm somewhere no one has been before. I don't want to start building a proper base and find every system around me has been visited.

Stuck on “A Leap in the Dark” mission. [Bug]

I’m at the part where you have to follow the Portal leylines. I have 1/3 completed currently. But the next one is stuck in an indestructible building underwater. There was a trident key there but that has nothing to do with the mission. I’ve tried reloading and restarting my game but nothing has worked.

I’ve seen others suggest that you have to go very far away to reset the quest, but I’m fairly new and don’t have nearly enough resources for that. I’m new but I’ve still come quite far in a small amount of time in my opinion, and it would really suck to start over with absolutely nothing because of a progression-stopping bug.

Question [Question]

Hey!

I have a problem with the settlement terminal. I got the first C-class base in the quest but found another one being B-class and made the switch.

Now though, for over two days, the option to construct new baseparts has not appeard. Meaning i can’t construct anything on the new settlement…

It just says ”no pendling decisions” and ”operation running smoothly” but my debt is increasing and i cant construct anything..

Any suggestions?

Trying to do the "low/high numthread" thing to increase FPS, but the game always resets the file after i save [Question]

So I've been struggling with FPS lately, really kills the experience. My specs arent the problem, I've tried adjusting graphics and other settings but to no avail. A post on Reddit told me that in some file called TKGRAPHICSSETTINGS I can adjust two files, namely "NumHighThreads" and "NumLowThreads" in order to give the game more CPU usage and boost FPS (tbh i don't get the science behind it)

I did it, but whenever I boot up the game afterwards, I see FPS is still as bad, then I go back to the file and the numbers have reset

What do I do?

Need helpfor NMS on PS5: In Triangulate Second Position, inside building. How do I get it to work? [Question]

On PS5:

I triangulated the first position by the Comm Tower. After I saw the quest update to 33%, I tore down the beacon and went to do other missions for a while.

I came back to do the second Triangulation, which appears to be a different planet from where I placed the first (same solar system), and the point is Inside a building with an NPC and a puzzle that just gave me the location of a Historic Site. But the red claw shape telling me where to go is still in the middle of the room where the holographic orb is spinning.

I've dropped the beacon both outside and inside the building, and even placed it directly on top of the holographic emitter in the room. Every Time I activate the beacon, it just says it will look for a building on the planet or to insert a Drop Pod coordinate.

I'm not sure how to progress.

Any ideas?

Every settlement are already claimed ? [Question]

Long story short, My settlement is on a toxic planet with highly aggressive sentinels and i wanted to change settlement before going to far in the buildings process.

The issue is that i can't find any settlement that aren't claimed, wich i find really strange, i tried with the paradisiac planet where are my bases and no way to find one, i tried more than 10 times.

So... is that a bug ? Or am I just extremely unlucky ?

Settlement debt - is this a bug or am I just missing something? [Question]

So for the past couple of days my settlement has had higher productivity than maintenance costs. The debt has been slowly falling and everything looks to be on the right track.

I've checked in before going to bed on the past two nights to see the time until paid at 5 hours (Friday) and 1 hour (Saturday).

Thing is, when I check the next morning, loads of hours have been added to the time to pay from the time I last checked. Not sure if the debt has gone up (I assume it has), but there's no notification, no pending action, no explanation for it at all.

What gives?

Problem with 'Alone Amidst the Stars' main quest, is it a bug or am I not understanding what I'm supposed to do? [Bug]

Hi, new player here ; I want to say in advance that I don't really follow the story of this game so I might have missed some important info or context. I've been doing the main quest because from what i can tell it helps unlocking some important upgrades and I really want to get to a point where the game lets me build an exocraft. But I got to a point where i'm supposed to use signal boosters to triangulate my location or something to that effect. I'm supposed to triangulate the 2nd location. The quest marker took me to a planet I had already been on and I'm stuck at this part.

I I used the terminal, but it unlocked some random ancient ruin on another planet that isn't part of this quest and I can't use it anymore. I tried setting up the signal booster both in and outside of this base and it only lets me search for nearby structures. I also found one of those holographic towers nearby like the one from the first triangulation (sorry for no pic; I'll go back there if needed), but interacting with the terminal there lets me see some logs and nothing else happens, and the signal booster still wouldn't have the triangulation function.

So is there anything i'm just missing in your opinion or is it a bug?

#

Whom is the Game for? [Discussion]

Hello, I'm pretty interested in this game, and it's on discount on Steam. The thing is, I want to know your opinion about what this game is, whom it is for. Does it excel/lean toward some of the aspects below? Adventure & Discovery: yes, space journey is interesting, especially in a game like this. Building: basically trying to build bases as you like to imagine. Combat: my main focus of games. I've seen spaceship combat in this game, but what about the on-ground combat? Any good? Any other kind of genre that I haven't mentioned?

Feel free to pour your opinion here, and I'll try to take it as a reference. I know that this kind of question has probably been posted in this subreddit for a lot of times, but there's a new update released, so I want to take more feedback from others still playing.

My first settlement had a terrible location, wrong race and boring system, so I went looking for another and found a good one. Problem is, after I built the office, nothing has happened since. No new buildings, no visitors no nothing. Had anyone had this happen to them and found a solution?

Alone Amidst The Stars Bugged? [Bug]

So I have don't this mission before a long time ago. Since all the new updates I wanted to start over so I created a new save game. I started the Alone Amidst the stars mission. I did the tower section now I'm on the Triangulate location mission. I placed the first beacon and I went to the suitable location for the second beacon but it marked a little outpost. O won inside and it marked the computer inside. I did the thing on there and there was no option to triangulate. I can't access the computer anymore but yet it's still marked. If I go into the the log it says visit several planets and build signal boosters. I have been to 4 planets left boosters on everyone but none of them are giving me triangulate options like the first one did.

Is this bugged since the last update. I don't remember having to do all this last time. I'm pretty sure it was as simple as drop my 3 booster triangulation each one and it would go from 33 66 to 100% an the mission would continue. I'm completely stuck at 33%

New freighter bug PS4 [Bug]

After collecting 1 of my expeditions, I collected a rare item and after I was frozen in place and couldn’t move at all, I could open my inventory and options menu. To clarify, this was immediately after collecting my frigate expedition rewards.

A Thought I Had About Future Updates [Discussion]

Hi everyone, there is something I thought of, regarding how updates may be rolled out. With the release of Frontiers, the game was brought up to 3.6, from 3.5 with Prisms. At least a good number of us here thought that Frontiers was the big annual update, but that now does not appear to be the case. Normally, the big updates will bring the game into the next full version (i. e. Beyond brought the game to 2.0, from 1.75 with Visions).

Currently, NMS isn't quite at 4.0. I now believe that Hello Games is going to release at least two more updates this year, smaller ones with a scope similar to Frontiers. A new mechanic or feature will likely be added to the core gameplay loop, making the universe even more immersive than it already is.

However, there is always the possibility that the next update will indeed be 4.0, the big one we have all been waiting for. For now, let's enjoy this next part of the journey, and explore the great alien frontiers of the universe.

Settlement Issues [Bug]

Been having a couple issues with my settlement, like it rendering in the sky most times when I show up, haven’t gotten any new disputes to settle or decisions to make. And I haven’t been prompted to make any new structures after the first one was completed. Anyone else have this issue and know a fix?

#

Online vs Solo [Question]

Just returned to NMS (on PS4) after its initial launch years ago as it seems to be a much better version of itself now.

Spent a few hours last night playing it and made it a few hyperdrives into the story. Basically to the point where I found another starship that is badly damaged

My question: is online play worth paying the PS4 subscription or do most people play solo?

Modules on starships [Question]

Is it worth running 6 upgrade mods instead of 3 for any of the starship weapons? I've got 2 fighters im getting ready to deck out, just dont know if any of them should get 6 mods or 3. Max tech and general slots too, so storage is of no issue. Same goes with the stats. Putting minmaxed stats aside, simply is having the 6 worth?

What about the Pulse Engine? Mainly looking to have some insane maneuverability and speed, Is 6 worth it for this?

A Leap in the Dark - Story (Portal expedition) [Question]

Dear Community!

Can you please help me with the "A Leap in the Dark" mission?

I can't do the next step of the mission and I'm stuck at 1/3. It can help if I warp into another system, and restart my mission, or did you know any other workaround ways in this situation?

Thank you!

Weekend mission, polo's contact is in a volcano? [Bug]

I have the 12 ancient bones, for weekend mission.

Now I'm directed to Polo's contact, which is inside of the base of a volcano? The closest I can get is 22 u away, burrowing through the dirt, but then I hit the "bedrock" like structure of the volcano and can't get closer?

What is up?

New update [Bug]

Why can’t I use the submarine? [Question]

I bought the sub, along with every other exo craft, but whenever I try to summon it it says “you do not own this eco craft.” Every time I’ve tried summoning it I’ve had right buildings set up, I even have the tech on my freighter to have any exo craft summoned when it’s in the system. So am I missing something or am I cursed to explore the oceans of NMS the hard way?

The New Morphing Stacking Walls (Concerns from a base builder) [Discussion]

Ok, so the new walls will morph into a different design if you stack them. Ok, cool enough it seems at first, but I just discovered an irksome problem with this because it always morphs if you stack two full size walls.

I'm careful with my builds to always build above the terrain, not into it or directly on it. Two reasons for this: the terrain always comes back if you dig into it, and the ground vegetation always has a habit of poking its way through your floor. What might be ok now might not after a patch, and it might be a LOOOONG time until it's fixed, if it's fixed. So what I normally do to avoid all that is build a bit above the terrain, elevating my floors enough so I never have to worry about terrain reappearing or the vegetation rearing its ugly head through my floors. Then I surround the floor with walls thereby making a foundation that blends with the ground below.

Here's the problem, if I do this now. The foundation wall now counts as the base stack. Meaning the game will think any wall placed on it is now supposed to morph to shape 2 because it thinks it's the second floor. So I lose that first floor wall design for many of the walls. The alternative is to use short walls for the foundation, which have problems too: the short walls don't look near as nice, and depending on the contour of the terrain, you might need an extreme number of them.

I'm noticing the settlement building floors are directly on the terrain. Unless you're super lucky, that's generally not the norm when you're building your own base in the wild. Even then, I don't trust the ground vegetation to not start peaking through the floor at some point.

Has anyone found a work around for this?

Settlement: Sentinel Alert Level [Question]

Does anyone know what level needs to be reached for the sentinels to pay a visit to my settlement? I'm at 81% currently. Also, is there anything I can do to make them attack me sooner, just so that something happens at my settlement? I wish there were some gravitino balls nearby.

Problem with last step for loving spaceship [Question]

I am currently having issues with the last step for getting the living ship, or to be more specific with activating the portal. i looked it up but i have no idea how i can find, or activate a portal. Can somebody please explain this to me?

#

Friends bases disappeared [Bug]

After the last update, I can't see my friends bases, or any other players bases. I find the address in the teleport, but then I arrive to a empty space, can only see what was dug out for the base, but not the actual constructions.

Any one have any idea how to fix it?

#

Building wires/supply pipes and building inside freighter buggy sometimes? [Bug]

Not sure if to flair as bug or question, but heres the thing:

Is it just me or does the game disable snapping for wires/supply pipes and even the freighter sometimes by accident?

I noticed it yesterday, when I was building. That sometimes I just couldnt wire things up anymore. The power icon was simply not there. I just could place the wire ON the structure what of course doenst work.

Then I got a new freighter and boom, the base gets copied into the new freighter (thats very nice) BUT: when I tried to build a new room it looked like Im stuck in the "place free-option" which is absolutely impossible to use when building freighter rooms.

What Ive noticed is that ONLY a game restart helps that issue. Not reloading, not going back to the menu. Sometimes if you go off planet/freighter, fly some distance, then go back - works, too.

Anyone else? Or is my game just broken?

#

Lost my ship to a teleporter? [Question]

Found a distress signal which led me to a downed ship! It was a better class than my starter but needed a lot of repairs. I created a small base and teleported to a station to get supplies. When I got back my starter ship was gone.

Am I more or less stranded on this planet until I can get the new ship fixed, or is there place the ship went? Maybe back to my first base?

I'm playing permadeath so no way to reload a previous save :/

#

No more culling creatures? [Question]

Was making my rounds through a ton of space stations collecting missions and realized I haven’t come across a single “cull creatures” mission since the new update. It’s all “feed creatures” now, which I know was a mission before but now seems to be the only creature related mission. Has anyone else noticed this or is it a big coincidence that I just haven’t come across that mission after hitting roughly 20 different space stations?

#

Settlement Progression Issue? [Question]

I have a settlement where all i have done was build the administration building. It has been two days and has not asked me to build anything else, including the landing pad.

The only difference is i did have another settlement that I abandoned for this one With that one I got as far as the landing pad completion.

As i sit and wait, my settlement debt goes up and i have no way to lower it since it is not asking me to building anything else.

Hoping I just have to wait and that it is not bugged.

Joining other friends games [Information]

Why is it so hard to join someone’s game and visa versa. I see no option to join game in either multiplayer or play game modes. For reference, I have adjusted all settings in Xbox privacy to allow for everyone to see captures, etc. I have tried every troubleshooting option with no avail. Please help.

Settlement data chart won’t give me a location: [Question]

I have a homeworld that I want my settlement to be on, but every time I use the data to plot a course, it consumes the data and does nothing. For reference, I am standing on the planet and it has copious life. Does anyone know why it isn’t giving me a settlement location?

#

Is My save corrupted? Or is this normal? [Question]

So I have been experiencing something weird, i did not post this in the megathread because it has been there from the NEXT update for me, In My old save.

In my base, the Overseer's missions is stuck in "Return to the Overseer" and then he talks about Atlas and stuff and then i just leave him, and the Weapons Researcher do the same thing, i destroyed the sentinels for him, then he talks about observing me and returning to the Atlas, so i have no option but to leave him. And The mission icons stays there.

The scientist was doing the same thing but his mission disappeared, I assume I somehow completed it. I do have the Exocraft and Agriculture Missions to complete, and I have completed the main story quests and stayed in Euclid Galaxy, but i don't know if all this is related.

I don't know but I think this save is somehow corrupted, because there have been talks about save files getting corrupted over updates, and this save is before the Beyond Update.

So what should I do? Do I start a new save, or is this normal and I'm missing something.

#

Sentinel alert level: Good news, and Bad news [Information]

My settlement sentinel alert level was 97%. Decided to see just how alert they were and ambushed them. They weren't ready at all and I dispatched them.

Went to my office and waited out the reinforcements. Then I checked my settlment status.

Good news: my sentinel alert level dropped to zero

Bad news: my settlement class went from B class to C class.

My base isnt the same version my friends see [Bug]

Hey guys ;)

Getting back to the game from a 6 months break and first thing we noticed is we all see "different version" of my base. (some square missing, parts missing....)

we're playing 4 player LAN so what am i missing ?

#

I lost my freighter. [Question]

So i got my freighter some time ago and enjoyed it a lot, doing missions i was thrown away to some icy planet in a random point of the universe. It was many time ago and was not able to play for a while, so not sure if something else happened after that.

The problem is, my freighter isnt here.

I cant call it to system cause "not enough fuel" or smth, and i absolutely cant see it in the stat map to just jump my way to pick it.

What can i do? I just lost it forever?

#

A lot of flying animals since the update? [Question]

I picked the game back up since the Frontiers update and the last three systems I've gone to have had their creature population be mostly flyers. I've been on maybe three planets that had more standard walking creatures than flying ones.

Is this a coincidence?

#

Paradise Planets [Information]

New to this game... reading up on different info. Apparently "paradise planets" are rare?

I must have beginners luck...the second system I visited has 3 planets and 1 moon. All 3 are labeled paradise planets...no issues with storms or weather...it actually describes it as "soothing breeze". The moon is an ice-ball though.

Euclid galaxy, Isarazuk system, yellow star (Gek)

Advanced Mining, Jobs, Science and so much more potential. [Suggestion]

What if instead of mining a rock, and obtaining just ferrite and some other stuff, you could obtain various minerals in small quantities, depending on the type of planet you are on, that would allow the creation of industrial mining centers, where the rock would have to be decomposed To obtain the material that would later be used for manufacturing, jobs would be opened in the settlements, for NPCs and players, and a new mechanic can be introduced to the game that would favor trade, wages, so is not only destroying a rock to fill my multitool, but the rock now makes sense, now it is a valuable natural resource, the planet would make more sense, even the most desolate planets, each plant would provide materials that could be synthesized into their basic components, dna extracted, and so on, the vehicles could have greater utility and specialization, new scientific buildings, with it is not about accumulation, would be about combinations, alloys, more precise tech customization, and so... Well that's my contribution.

Exchanging Multi-tools [Question]

So I just picked up the game again after not playing for a long time, started a whole new save and I've just recently realized every multi-tool I've gotten was exchanged for free? is it supposed to be that way?

Question about landing pads and ship at your base [Question]

Hi all,

Every time I port to my base, my ship appears under it, clipping through the floor, and it looks like crap. I have two landing pads at my base, and ideally it’d be great if they appeared there when I ported in. Is there a fix to this at all?

TIA.
