Lack of customizable settings [Discussion]

Maybe it’s because I’m on console but I feel like the only thing the game is lacking is customization of settings and controls. I find myself wanting to change bindings and scale certain aspects of the game all the time but there is just too little control in the options. Is it just me?

#

Does nothing snap? [Question]

I haven't played this game for a long long time. I used to have this pretty big base built so I thought I'd build a new one.

I can't even get a stupid ramp to snap to a stupid door on my stupid circular room. What happened? (Yes, I do have snapping on).

Can we still rotate items on the x and y axis? [Question]

It seems with the new build system I can rotate objects clockwise and counter clockwise but I don't see the option to rotate them on the x and y axis to flip or tilt objects in a certain direction. Anyone know if this feature was taken away or is there a way to do it I'm just not seeing?

Thanks!!

Settlement Bug [Bug]

TL;DR started first settlement tutorial but objectives are buried underground

Went to the first settlement and started the tutorial. Overseer's office is buried underground so I can't do off materials. Tried to then find a new settlement but tutorial is forcing me to complete overseer's office in the first settlement. Find a flat settlement for your first one I have no idea how to get past this 🤦‍�️

Downloading Data? [*Xbox] [Bug]

So I booted up today to start the expidition and I cant start it at all and it displays Downloading data at the top with a % bar.

despite restarting both the game and the xbox, it has not changed and I've been trying for about an hour.

Does anyone know anything about it ? Is this happening to anyone else or is it console related itself maybe?

Ships Not Using Landing Pads After Teleport [Bug]

After a long hiatus, I'm coming back for 3.6. I decided to start over fresh and as I'm building bases, I've noticed my ships nearly always seem to spawn somewhere besides their intended landing pad(s) after teleporting back to the base.

I've had this happen sporadically before, but now it seems to be nearly every time. Is it a bug? Perhaps I'm doing something wrong? Can't figure it out.

Here's an example.

And here's another example after I built a landing pad on top of the first example.

#

Is there a way to deal with my settlements issues? [Question]

When I look on its status there are things holding it back like its highly radioactive so it increases maintenence costs or parasitic eggs decreasing the population

Is there anyway to get rid of these or solve them so they are no longer a problem?

No Weekend Mission? [Question]

Just went to the Nexus for the weekend mission and it's not showing. Only see normal missions. Was there not one this weekend?

#

Great update. Shame it has failed to fix 2 old base building bugs. [Bug]

Regenerating terrain. You can't build roads, you can't build into hills or canyons. You can't build tunnels. Because after some time when you return to your base (even after uploading your base) some of the terrain will have taken back over the rooms and will block passage ways.

2 . Indoor weather. If your roof is 3 wall panels high (like in a hangar type structure, or housing for your electromagnet power pylons, the game will fluctuate whether you are indoors or outdoors and will suffer the degradation to life support and be buffeted by rain, wind etc. I have found a temperamental fix for this; you need to put wall panels in the ceiling to trick the game into thinking the roof isn't that high. But it looks crap and it messes up lighting.

Are derrelic freighters not spawning enemies now? [Bug]

I've just done a derrelic freighter while waiting for construction in settlement, and no enemies spawn inside, nor drones, nor jellys, just one turret... only one.... All the loot was there, so it was profitable.

Was an error spawning in that derrelic or it's a general bug on derrelics now?

#

Base next to settlement caused Overseer missions to stop [Bug]

I just wanted to throw this out just in case it helps someone else. I built a base next to my settlement and extended the borders so I could build in the settlement. Unfortunately the settlement missions stopped. It didn't seem like a coincidence, so I deleted the base to see what would happen.

After deleting the base, the settlement missions resumed in about half an hour.

#

How do I find a settlement to become overseer of? [Question]

I got the quest and it sent me to a settlement to help them, I got there and it was a dark, nasty, ice planet. Besides that it said it was already claimed by another player, so how do I find different settlements so I can choose one? Sorry for the noob question but I am indeed a noob.

#

Settlement building functionality. [Suggestion]

I know the update is brand new and the devs are still working to fix it (keep up the hard work guys we appreciate everything you do!!!) But I do have a suggestion. I would like to see some sort of functionality brought to the settlement buildings. I have all these people and all these buildings but the only thing they're really good for is looking at. Refineries, portals, and storage would be really nice. I'd like to basically use my settlement as a base

#

I saw the update bug thread. [Question]

I have the new update downloaded but I don't think I'm going to install it. I'm concerned that my bases that I've built on floating islands will no longer have the same terrain and I'm just not down with ruining my hard work. Is this just a bug that can be fixed or does the update itself change the terrain permanently? I love this game and would never complain about a free update but I'm very apprehensive about installing it. Should I wait a few months until everything is patched or should I just jump in the fire like the rest of you? Are there any other game breaking bugs i need to be aware of?

#

Help? [Question]

I got a snowy sentiment and when I clamed it it started to let me build the first building. However when I try to find the bulind terminal its glitched and dosent spawn. And whenever I try to get a new settlement it keeps saying all the ones I find are other players. Even though I'm the first in the system...help..?

Keep and repair or trade an S class starship I found? [Question]

I am on the purge mission in the storyline and still using the starter starship. I found an S class star shipped from a distress call, but it has a lot of repairs needed to be done. I have about 6 million units so far, and the ship is worth about 10 million units. Should I bother searching for another starship that I would like better aesthetically and trade this in? Or should I repair and keep this ship because of how hard it is to find an S class? I don’t have all the materials needed to repair it right now so it would be something I have to work towards.

#

Multiplayer Base Community [Discussion]

Recently I have been prepping a planet for a future community. I’ve got a paradise planet with a settlement on it. Been building a light house, a beach front of Seaport for starships. Even build a Manor on a hill near by. I started to think, anyone else be interested in being able to plot lands and even build, “ready to move in” starter base and give to people? I think it would be pretty cool to be able to do that especially with a group of friends. I have even more thoughts on this and how it could work. Anyone else have thoughts?

#

Problems with coop [Question]

So my mate just got the game, he's player for a few hours, we tried to play coop together but when I joined his world we would be connected for a few seconds but then it would disconnect us, but I would still be in his world, he joined my world and the same thing happened. I play on xbox one and he's on ps5, is this a cross play issue? Because I played with a guy on ps5 the other day didn't have any problems. Or is it because my friend doesn't have the anomaly unlocked yet?

#

Anyone Feel like all these update's IDEAS are amamzing, but the execution is poor? [Discussion]

Don't get me wrong, I love this game and particularly the Idea of the game, A procedurally generated Universe with dozens of Galaxy's and a myriad of stars, and even more planets all to explore with no limits. 100's of hours of game play to perfect your exosuit, star ship, freighter, or base. Spend 5 hours farming resources and fill up a container full of them? Yeah, just the type of person I'am, that Appeals a LOT to me, but I just feel empty while playing the game. I can't explain it well. I just don't feel like I'm exploring an endless universe. I feel like I've thoroughly explored a slice of the whole cake, which makes me feel like I've explored it all. It just feels almost like a copy and paste from one star system to another. It all just feels the same. even if its the most simple things, like how all space stations are the same. Same with planets. I feel no incentive to explore planets, on one side of the planet it just the same as on the other. even from a planet to planet they all just feel so similar. Let's take for instance the Frontiers update. When I got the tweet notification from Sean Murray during my school day and read through all the features; 250+ new base parts, settlements to explore and manage, overhaul of base building, I was jubilated. That's all I was thinking about all day until I got home to play it. I just felt empty, maybe it's just me but I felt like all settlements were the same glass of water just with a different label, and no matter what you did all settlements would turn out the same, just like a linear story, which is fun to do for the first few times, but quite difficult to enjoy without variability when re-doing them (at least for me). I can't tell you how many times I've been thinking about No Man's Sky and the Awesomeness of it's exploration, but when I hop on I get bored very quickly. I just...

People who bought Hello Games' official NMS merch, was it worth it? Is it good quality? Is it procedurrally generated?

Multiperson cockpit? (suggestion) [Suggestion]

Has anyone ever wanted to be able to have a multi person cockpit to allow when in multiplayer to share your ship with your friends instead of all travelling in separate ships? or is this just me

Construction Site under hill [Question]

I recently started construction on a Ore Extraction Unit for my settlement but once I gathered the resources for the site I found that it was in fact under an indestructible hill with no entrance. Has any body else ran into this?

#

Beginning steps skip [Suggestion]

It would be ideal if when you're playing together and someone joins late if you could just put the atlas station in the start system for them to skip steps, just had the jetpack/life support bug screw one of our guys and he couldn't restore his save without them, meaning he has to completely start again and go through the long task of the first chain, frustrating.

A question [Question]

I play in psvr and whenever I trigger the sentinels in a settlement they k*** themselves and my game goes down to 4 ish fps. Any fixes?

#

Settlement Question [Question]

After building by overseer office it says I have no pending decisions and hasn’t changed. Is this a feature or what? Aren’t you supposed to be able to build your first building immediately?

#

Ramps helps [Build]

I cannot get the ramps to connect to my doors. I have searched and searched and all the post are from like 2018 and the stuff they suggest is of no use to me. I am pc if it helps. I am at my wits end and on day two of just trying to get a dang ramp. Just one little ramp is all I need.

#

Point of settlements? [Question]

I’ve watched many video telling everything about the settlements, but my questions is: is there any tangible value in building up a settlement to be amazing? Or is it just to pour time and resources into in order to make a cool looking town?

How to locate SOS signals ? [Question]

So here's the situation :

  • I got task activated called "Plante in need" .

  • it show me which system I need to go, but not the planet

  • at the bottom right corner I got info "Locating signal blocked. Call back thrue communicator to unlock tracking" (rought translation from my native lunguage)

How to use these comms ?

#

Free S-Class Freighter? [Question]

Am I doing something wrong or has the game been patched to prevent this exploit?

I've read in previous threads that when you're looking for your first freighter, gifted after saving them from pirates, you can land on a space station after the battle, save, go to the freighter, and if it isn't an S-Class, just keep reloading the save until it is. But when I reload, the freighter I saved is missing, and the only ones around are for straight sale.

Am I missing something?

#

I wish there was a 'full stack' mode...something between Creative and Normal [Discussion]

Creative mode is where I spend most of my time...mostly because I just loathe excessive resource gathering. I like exploring and finding the resources but I just really hate having to sit there and excessively gather them, especially the really basic stuff.

Nothing worse for me than building a base and suddenly I'm out of ferrite so I've gotta spend the next 20 minutes mining.

Wish there was some kind of mode or setting that would just give me a full stack of a mineral whenever I found it...so there'd be way less resource gathering but you'd still have to go out and find it occasionally.

NMS won't recognise that I am at the second location for a mission. [Question]

I have 4900 quicksilver from the Anomaly and now I can't increase it any further because NMS won't recognise that I am at the second location during a mission. Is this a bug or is there a limit to how much quicksilver I can hold?

My apologies if this is the wrong place to ask but I am not sure if this is a bug or a "feature" and Google isn't telling.

New easy Nanite glitch [Information]

Me and a friend found a new nanite glitch in the new update (on ps4, not sure about other platforms), I was in multiplayer and was refining the runaway mould to nanites and when I took them, closed the refiner and opened it the nanites where still there, so I could take them indefinitely, I was in multiplayer the whole time and my friend could pick them too! If you have enough mould this glitch is much faster than the walker nanite glitch.

Medium Refiner and Oxygen Harvester Questions [Question]

Hey guys!

New player here. I've built myself two medium refiners, but the second one will only accept one input, while the first one works fine. Am I only limited to one medium refiner? Am I doing something wrong?

For the oxygen harvester, when I leave me base, it clears out. All the carbon I put in and all the oxygen will be gone. I figured since it takes time to harvest, I'll go hit up some astroids, and it'll be done when I get back. It wasn't. Everything was cleared. Am I supposed to stay in the same instance as the harvesters?

Thanks!

Multi Tool Modules [Question]

So I’m playing this game again after taking a long break and apparently you can have 2 multi tools (not sure but only thought you could have 1 when NEXT dropped). my question is how many modules can you have stacked together before they won’t benefit you

new to the game.. questions "Where do I get started?" [Question]

so, I am a massive lover of open-world survival games. I have had this game for a little bit but have had a really hard time getting into it. I feel like if I put the time into learning the game better it's something I would REALLY enjoy.. but I am having trouble getting there. Any suggestions or tips of where to get started? Thanks!

Reported a bug - got into previous save with new action. What?? [Question]

Wtf?? I just reported a bug about infinite building part (i submitted a ticket with detailed info), now i found my game with new decision and switched time save (my game opened at save 18:05, when the last was at 20:50 wtf). I found new visitor and were backed to the last material input for a building (now again to wait 2 hours) which i had already done at my last save.

#

PSA: You can get specific building opportunities again if you decline them the first time [Information]

My 3rd building option was farm vs saloon, I really needed productivity so I went with the farm. But my next building option was again the saloon vs a commerce exchange. Since productivity is looking decent now I went with the saloon. Just though I'd throw it out there since I saw people asking about this.

Only thing I'm not 100% sure about is if the stats are the same. I didn't remember the original saloon stats but they seemed similar to me.

#

Living ship - Portal or hyperdrive? [Question]

I'm pretty new at the game. At one of my first visits to the anomaly I was sitting on a light and some dude gave me a Void Egg, it was so cool! I worked my butt to get the best hyperdrive and started the missions.

Now I got all the parts and was heading to the last (I think) location. I warped like 20 times and wasn't close at all to the destination so I searched online what I have to do. I managed to find a Portal but I only have 1 glyph and it seems like a pain in the ass to go and geather them all... Also I want to continue the main quest...

My question is, is it worth to keep on hyeprdriving till I get to the destination or is it a fools errend and I better work my way to get all the glyphs?

Thanks!

#

Settlement - what just happened after Sentinel attack?!? [Discussion]

Hey everyone, first of all, I will explain the scenario. I’m on the hunt for a S class freighter, my settlement warns me that I am under sentinel attack. So I go to the nearest space station and warp back, only to find the sentinels have fled. My settlements class has went from B to C..my debt from two hundred thousand units (which was manageable with all the production I was building) to over two billion units?!? can I ask if anyone else has had this happen to them? I have everything crossed that it’s a bug.

UPDATE CONCEPT: No Man's Sky - Sentinel Warfare [Suggestion (Update Concept)]

I have a warfare based update concept idea I figured I'd share, so here goes.

FREIGHTER WARFARE OVERHAUL:

  • Freighters will now be moveable across the system via a control seat. They can destroy hostile freighters/frigates with onboard weapon systems.

  • Frigates can be ordered to do certain actions while the game's AI will enact that order (ie. "frigate __ target __," and the ship will automatically enact the order on its own)

  • Your freighter can only be destroyed in survival/hardcore mode, however, cargo slots will be locked from damage no matter the mode

  • You can command your onboard fighter collection as a squadron the same way you would command a frigate.

  • Freighter destruction will result in a wreckage with scavenging opportunities. Orbital combat can result in a crashed freighter on the surface nearby, but not nearby bases

  • Freighter and Frigate armament will become customizable

NEW STARFIGHTER UPDATES:

  • New "Gunship" chassis. Has a tail gun that can be manned by an AI or another player. Tail gun will utilize regular installed weapons. Mediocre storage space and hyperdrive distance

  • "Dropship" chassis. Can transport up to 3 other players and has mediocre storage room and incredibly high shield strength, can open doors in atmosphere to offload passengers. Requires a special hyperdrive to function

  • Starships now have weak points that take extra damage when hit without a shield

  • Starships now have a durability bar instead of durability points

SENTINEL COMBAT REWORK:

  • Sentinels now have humanoid droid forces for large scale battles

  • Sentinel assault will engage if you press on with tier 5 reputation

  • Your freighter will automatically warp in above you (if able) when a sentinel assault starts

  • Players with a dropship can opt out of sentinel battles by summoning their...

Visitor to settlement with a warning [Spoiler]

Had a visitor today with a prophecy of sorts. Said he got the message from the dying words of an abyssal horror or something along those lines.

"Wealth brings devastation" not exact quote but close to it.

Anyways pay that man his $7800 and you get happy people with "blessing of the atlas" I believe.

Don't pay the man and people get less happy with "impending doom."

Can't triangulate my position [Question]

Woof, I keep having problems here today.

Doing the Alone Amidst the Stars mission on a new game and I can't triangulate my position.

After I activate the first beacon and travel to the secondary location, the beacon no longer gives me an option to "Triangulate Position."

I've tried placing the beacon in several places near the mission marker with no luck, it just doesn't give me the option to Triangulate the second beacon.

I've tried rebooting the game and I've tried even traveling through a Black Hole to a new place and restarting the mission...any thoughts?

Expeditions rewards [Question]

I don't will have time to play the game in the next 1 month. Will I be able to buy the rewards for quicksilver (building parts) in the space anomaly?

Lighting inside buildings [Question]

With the new update, I decided to use some of the new building materials to make a new base, but I've been running into a problem with lighting. Every type of light I try to use, it just ends up really dark. I saw some posts like this from a few years back, but was hoping anyone has tips to fix this. Otherwise, I'll just go back to using the cuboid rooms

Jetpack, hazard protec and life support duplicated [Question]

My friends are getting quests to do stuff at my settlement [Bug]

Hello I was playing with a group of 3 of my friends when to of them were told to do a mission like build a building or take over my village, when I clearly own the village. One of them owns there own village and was told to build a building at mine and he can’t interact with anything at his village. Anyone else have this problem.

Hardest Battle ever! [Discussion]

The most messed up thing just happened...

Was doing the living ship mission. Went to a planet to get a piece... angry sentinels. I think I upset them. They came after me, went to space. Haven't done a sentinel space battle in a while.

Killed 2 waves, and the big ship warped in.

RIGHT ON TOP OF ME. LITERALLY.

It warped AROUND me. I was INSIDE it, unable to get out. I couldn't thrust out, couldn't pulse or warp because of the enemies.

Positron Ejector couldn't get outside the frame I was encased in, but for some reason the Phase beam could. I had to take out TWENTY sentinel space ships, from INSIDE the cruiser... with the walls constantly pushing me in different directions, and recharging my shields every few seconds. They were taking damage from constantly hitting the walls of the ship.

Used up half my stock of sodium repairing the shields.

When all the enemies were gone, I was finally able to warp to another system!

I just flew around for 10 minutes... freedom!

#

Settlement debt wonkiness [Question]

Has anyone figured out how settlement debt works? My settlement has a productivity around 450k/day. The maintenance on it is around 160k/day. I checked my settlement status after doing some exploring around, and I was almost debt free, it said it had 20 minutes remaining to clear debt (watching the countdown go). I sat in my overseers office for a bit, and got a new settler visit. Settler gave +1 Gek reputation but would incur about 4500 settlement debt. I figured that was fine, my timer might go up by a minute or two until I was finally out of debt. Nope, after taking on that settler, my settlement debt was up to about 320k, and 20 hours+ to pay it off.

It seems the game almost pulls these numbers out of its virtual arse and have no bearing to any actual accounting methods. I would love to see the actual calculations on this, with timing of deposits/withdrawls and whatnot. As overseer I should be able to audit the books!

#

New player lost ship, what a surprise [Question]

Okay so I'm very new to the game, only been playing for a few days. I was on a planet and I was about to leave when I tried to enter the wrong ship, so to keep my pride intact I bought the ship (to add to my collection, not exchange).

Only problem with that is I lost my starter ship. And it had a load of resources like carbon and tritium. I tried switching ships but it has no launch fuel.

Is there any way I can get it back that doesn't involve scouring the biggest planet I've seen so far (big ass ice world with wings, was so shook when I arrived I had to record gameplay) for a small speck of ship?

Ingredient Storage 10 slots instead of 25. [Bug]

Do a lot of people have this bug? For some reason my ingredient storage only has 10 slots, but I’m hearing it’s supposed to be 25. Playing on Xbox XS on the newest version of the game. Have messaged HelloGames a couple times but radio silence from them

#

Loading troubles after patch. [Bug]

Today I started the game to test the new features. And after waiting lot of time the main menu showed up.

But when I try to load a save it stays some minutes on black screen to then do the "Intro animation" going through all those stars and systems, and it keeps like this forever.

So I can't even go in the game.

I tried verifying files and dlls, updating drivers and restarting the system.

Sometimes, after all that loading at the start, the menu shows like this.

Working stack mods? [Question]

Does anyone know of a working Stack mod yet? or point me in the direction, of how to make my own, all the ones on nexus are still broken.

Entirely too late to earn previous expedition rewards? [Question]

I'm a completionist, and due to life and all its fun stuff I missed Expeditions 1+2. I notice in game it still shows all those amazing rewards in the expedition merchant that it doesnt seem possible for me to earn.

Are there any tricks yall know of that may help? My "OCD" is screwing me over right now :( Especially that Golden Vector.

Multitool not in case [Question]

I went to get a multi tool, except it wasn’t in the case. No problem, I’ll just reload. Still not there even after restarting game. Anyone know a workaround?

#

A question about Settlement Events [Question]

I switched my settlement to a Korvax one after I didn't like my original Gek settlement I got from the quest. I've not had any of those issues with getting building requests, that's worked smoothly for me, but I have yet to get a single dispute with any of my citizens, any visitors, or any expeditions of any sort. Is there any way I can fix this instead of only receiving construction request after construction request?

#

To anyone having the timer reset bug, don't trust the timer. [Information]

My farming building kept saying 1 hour 33 minutes to finish the current stage but every time I would come back around that time it would reset and say I needed to do the current stage again. Yesterday I started it before work and came back to find it actually completed. Today I left the 2nd stage (again, said 1 hour 33 minutes) go for about 5 hours and it successfully completed.

TL;DR If your timer resets, just let it go for a bit. The stage will eventually finish.

#

Specialist station quests glitched... Any workarounds? Specifically the weapons terminal and agricultural [Bug]

On the weapons terminal, the Vykeen has told me to destroy a depot. I destroyed the one the mission sent me to, but did it with my starship instead of my multi-tool. Now the base is destroyed but the mission hasn't given me credit. Not sure what to do there, as I seem to be stuck.

For the Agricultural terminal, I thiiiink I'm at the end of the chain? I went to the farmer, and he said his contract was over and he'd be leaving, and also not to trust my Overseer. But when I finish the dialog with him, he stays there and my quest still says to return to him. I don't seem to be able to complete the quest, despite talking to him several times and getting the same interaction each time.

I've tried deleting and resetting both of the terminals. Quests are selected in my log when I try to work on them. Any ideas on how to move forward?

#

Looking for a specific planet, anyone seen one like this? [Question]

So I'm looking for a nice planet to work on a settlement on - I would like one with blue skies and a blue glow on the grass at night - that's about it really, low sentinel activity and green/blue grass would be a plus but the main criteria is blue glow and blue sky.

Has anyone found anything like this recently? euclid galaxy please.

#

Why can't I claim a settlement? [Question]

At two separate settlements so far I've had the same problem. The mission info is telling me to go to the settlement hub and sign up to be overseer, but the hub claims the settlement belongs to another player. If this is the case why am I being directed to take over when the game won't allow me to?

Is there some trick to finding unclaimed settlements, or do I just keep searching until I get lucky?

#

Is there any point in getting the center of the galaxy? [Question]

Currently in the process of getting to the center of the galaxy, and while I enjoy the exploration aspect of it a tonne (even if lots of the planets do end up looking very similar), is there any point to it? I've been told once you reach the center the game just sort of resets? Get sent to new galaxy, fix your gear, and start over. If so, what's the point of it all?

Second Triangulate Misson not working [Bug]

For the “Alone Amidst the Stars” quest, for the section where you triangulated Artemis- I had no issues with the first Triangulation, yet the second, I am at the observatory and do not have an option to triangulate. I’ve looked it up and it seems to be a common issue but haven’t found a way to fix it- i’ve tried resetting save the first time it happened and didn’t work, and have reset the app etc. I’m on xbox if that matters

Does steam version have issue with controllers? [Question]

It's been awhile since last playing and jumped on the new update hype train. Though so far no controller is working xbox360, PS4, PS3, Wii pro, and even steam controller. I've tried ds4windoes (old black and new purple versions) and All variations of steam big mode and input on off.

My Ethernet port crapped out so only able to mobile search and having zero luck.

Any help would be immensely appreciated

Edit: really don't want to use keyboard, on couch so lap keyboards not comfortable. I should also mention steam DOES recognize inputs the game doesn't, as example hitting button opens steam overlay

Settlement building?? [Question]

I have read several posts and people are asking if they should keep building. I was given a choice and built a tower . I can't figure out how to build more. Does the building have to be built using settlement terminal or is there something I'm missing? I have had to make a couple of choices for missions or to accept a new settler.

How do I plant things [Question]

How do I plant things in my tray I'm on PS4 if it matters I know its a stupid question but how do I do it I just can't figure it out

#

Is there a way for developers to see a player base/seed? [Bug]

Of all the additions and bug fixes NMS has gone through, my base has never once benefited from anything and the entirety of the base is basically built on every bug the game could muster. From storms raging underground, to dirt suddenly reappearing, to getting poisoned well inside my base.

It now, after years of trying to, finally filled itself back in with dirt and now is buried forever.

I really want the NMS devs to use my base as a bug hunting experiment - because it's been an absolute war to maintain for the past 3 years.

And it could not be any simpler. It's like 5 holes in the ground with a floor and stuff on the floors. One of the simplest bases I've seen in NMS.

Considering buying NMS, but have a few questions. [Question]

Is everything included or am I getting 12 dlc with it?

How does it run on an OG PS4/ will I kill my PS4?

How is planet variety? Is space always purple?

How are the dog fights?

As a former Elite Dangerous player, disappointed and moving on.. will I enjoy myself?

Thanks in advance, and anything else you feel I should know.. let me know!

It's been a few days since the update was released [Discussion]

How is the game for everyone right now? I'm on PS4 and it still crashes about once every hour at completely random times. My base is still a mess and if I try to tidy up it's the same mess again the next time I visit. Wires are visible, exocrafts fall through their platforms and when I try to build something the parts don't always click into each other like they normally do. Is it just me or it's taking longer than usual for the devs to fix the issues that turn up after an update?

Settlement question. [Question]

Is anyone else able to claim a new settlement? I’ve found two others that I would want to claim, one especially as its on a paradise planet that has one of my previous bases on, yet when I arrive at them they say that they are “other players settlement”but they are not claimed. Anyone else getting this?

Cannot finish tutorial building because I lost the blueprints. [Question]

I stalled finishing the tutorial to do other things. So when I went back to finish it to start the first portion of the building tutorial, I placed the computer and for some reason I don't have access to the structure part of the building menu. I assume I accidentally sold the blueprint without realizing what it was and now I'm stuck in a tutorial part without knowing what to do, also the tutorial information in the bottom right won't disappear.

Starbirth Quest glitched/ Fragile Heart Not matured [Bug]

I don't know the details too well anymore since I stopped playing the game in april, but what I do remember now that I have redownloaded the game, is that my starbirth quest is glitched. I'm at the part where you put all the matured pieces into the living ship, but the fragile heart piece never matured, and I don't understand how it's supposed to anymore. Now I'm just stuck here with a living ship that I cant use or get because I'm missing the mature heart.

Anyone got a fix or an extra mature heart they can give me?

I marked as spoiler because idk if void egg stuff counts as that (it probably doesnt since you can see people with living ships in the anomaly)

#

Bug approaching objectives? [Question]

Everytime my mission from the anomaly tells me to approach a building or reach a depot, I arrive and the mission doesn't change. Like its not registering me there.

#

Stuck on Patterns in Time Mission [Question]

I'm stuck on the part of the mission where you are supposed to search a vykeen reliquary for some sort of object to prove your worthiness. The objective marker is in the middle of the structure, so I'm assuming I need to search around. However, when I used the trident key that the blob gave me on a sunken chest, it gave me something that I couldn't use on the mission. Am I missing something obvious here?

Xbox and Steam Linking [Question]

I play No Man's Sky on my PC, with the Xbox Game Pass but I want to buy the game on Steam and transfer my save. Is it possible or do I have to start from the beginning?

#

You can travel back to the anomaly directly from a planet surface now [Information]

Not sure if this is known but if you’re on a planetary surface (like your base) and want to travel back to the anomaly, you can use the new “return to anomaly” menu to teleport directly there without going to space or getting into a ship. The menu is the same one that used to summon the anomaly in space. Very useful quality of life improvement!

Starbirth Quest Bugged/ missing mature heart, at a dead end [Question]

I don't know the details too well anymore since I stopped playing the game in april, but what I do remember now that I have redownloaded the game, is that my starbirth quest is glitched. I'm at the part where you put all the matured pieces into the living ship, but the fragile heart piece never matured, and I don't understand how it's supposed to anymore.

Settlement bugged, can someone assist? [Question]

Hello everyone! Sorry to be one of these guys, but I'm really keen to start my settlement - I have built the first building (finished it yesterday) but now I'm not getting any new decisions on the terminal or building to construct. Is there something I'm doing to prevent it, or is this a known bug?

Thanks in advance!

#

What happened to Construction terminals? [Question]

I’m currently trying to expand my base storage but only have access to storage locker 0 as of the frontiers update. I’ve read that getting blueprints for lockers 1-9 is a reward of the base overseer’s quest but for whatever reason the construction terminal is not available to build in the new build menu. Can anyone tell me how you’re supposed to access the overseer quests / construction terminal now? Or even just how to get access to build the other storage lockers? I really want to continue enjoying the game but I’m at a point where lack of storage is becoming a real nuisance.

Any help would be great! Thanks for reading

#

The frequency of Pirates and NPC Flyovers are ridiculous... [Discussion]

Hello everyone,

I just got this game and really enjoy it. There is one thing I simply don't understand, however. I am wondering if this is something a more recent patch changed or if it has always been this way.

I thought this game was mostly about relaxed exploration? Why then, do I get intercepted by Pirates literally everytime I move anywhere in a star system? I can't even tell a difference between dangerous and peaceful systems in terms of pirate frequency, because they just ALWAYS attack me and stress me out because I play permadeath.

I feel like there could be 1/10th as many pirates and it would still be too much. They are at the very least annoying and while I usually have not trouble dealing with them, I never know if its worth the risk losing my entire save... Or am I missing something here?

Less important but still weird: Why does every planet have constant NPC ships traveling above me? Immediately takes away the sense that I am discovering or exploring something if apparently every planet has almost as much traffic as a major city... Whats is even the point of them? I guess it could be cool and realistic to see one flyover maybe once every 10 hours or so... Now it feels more like every 5 minutes.

This might be nitpicky, but I feel like those two things go completely against what the game is all about and both NPC ships on planets and pirates could be reduced so much in frequency.

Thanks for reading my rant, but someone had to say it :)

#

Any other new players see all the updates and possibilities and go from excited to feeling overwhelmed? [Question]

I originally bought the game a few years ago and was having fun just wandering around and flying to various plants then health issues had the game fall by the wayside. I picked it up again recently and had a much better understanding this time around and while I'm excited at the countless number of things I can do, I'm also feeling overwhelmed. The farthest I've gotten so far is building a few walls to protect from the storms.

Does anybody else feel this way or did you feel this way when you started?

#

Multiplayer Question [Question]

Is NMS MP a host type thing? Me and some buddies were thinking about doing multiplayer just for whenever we feel like hopping on, but wasn't sure if it was a situation where the "host" has to be on, or if we can just all get one whenever we want regardless of who is on or off and play together and solo both.

#

How long do you think Hello Games will support No Man's Sky before they move on to make a sequel? [Discussion]

Because, while all the updates we've had are great so far, I think No Man's Sky "core" gameplay can truly change and improve if they start from scratch by making an entirely new game

(I was inspired to ask this question by a news headline I saw that was about Stardew Valley's creator not knowing if there'll be a new update to his game since he's focused on a new game, not that that's exactly related to this or anything)

#

Remember the "leaker". Well they guessed right about things yet again [Discussion]

Remember that person who was correct about crossplay, volcanoes and variation with last years Origins. Tho some of those things like crossplay were not part of the summer update.

Well this time they were yet again correct about things like settlements and base building overhaul and more parts.

Given the current coincidences I would bet them to be correct about some of those other things as well. Something related to space stations is already being teased and some of the decisions at settlements have NPCs warning about some unknown threat.

This years "summer update leak"

coop improved in 2021? [Question]

Do both people still require an own base? Which makes playing coop literately pointless.

Or can you finally progress together on the Story, in One base? Both people see the NPCs etc have same weather/daytime.

#

How would you feel about being able to record a discovered drop pod's coordinates and sell it as such? [Suggestion]

After upgrading my inventory fully, I sometimes stumble across a drop pod in the wild that I have no use for. I reckon we should be able to use them to create 'drop pod coordinates' to be sold/traded. It could go something like this: When next to an unused drop pod, get out your signal booster Choose the option to 'record coordinates of nearby drop pod' Insert a navigation data module which will be overwritten with the new data 'Print' out the enclosure with the nav data inside it, using 10 ferrite dust, and hey presto you've got a valuable dropped coordinates module to sell

I was thinking the drop pod should be repaired first, but maybe if you don't feel like doing that the resulting module could just be valued slightly lower? If it should require repair, it could look like this instead: Get out your signal booster Choose the option to 'record coordinates of nearby drop pod' "Error: damaged/unpowered components detected" Repair/power the components and try again Insert a navigation data module 'Print' out the enclosure

Thoughts? 🤔

Cross-Play issues [Question]

Has anyone encountered the fact that Cross-play is disabled by default, and there is no separate tab in the settings to enable it?

As a naturalist, how can I gather enough resources to live, thrive and survive? [Question]

I downloaded the game recently based on the Frontiers trailer, and have put maybe 4 hours into it. I’m working my way through the tutorials, about to go to the space ship.

I decided that my play style would be as a naturalist like John Muir. I am a flaneur who will wander the distant lands and wonder at their beauty. I’m not going to destroy any tree or any mineral.

But this makes it hard to get enough resources! I’m ok with mining the crystals of sodium, di hydrogen or oxygen. But I dont’ have a good source of carbon or ferrite. And I’m not going to strip mine the planet!

Anybody play in this fashion? How do you get by?

#

Hotspots are resetting [Question]

I've experienced a frustrating thing today.

I've put down three save beacons for the three different hotspots I'm looking for and saved with one of tge beacons.

First I was bringing electrical wiring to the base and used B to go into camera mode and it forced the camera pointing up and I fell through the ground. It sent me to the surface without dying once and it killed me the second time.

I reloaded the save and now the three hotspots weren't discovered. I rediscovered them and put my base computer down again.

I left the planet for a while to come back and build and the hotspots are reset yet again.

Is this related to the base distance change or is something else going on?

Thanks!

#

NEW SETTLEMENT GLITCH? [Bug]

Hey! So I started playing the settlement mission and got as far as building a Landing pad (9 hours.. seriously) anyway I decided I wanted a settlement on my base planet, so got a chart etc and took over a new settlement and thus losing my first one. Since taking my new one, I haven’t been given the option to choose between market or landing pad and I’ve had no decisions to make etc etc! Is there a reason for this? Have I ruined it by starting a new settlement whilst in tue middle of the mission one? Thanks x

#

Lost Settlement Waypoint [Bug]

Help with nexus quest [Bug]

I'm doing a 'skeletal legacy' quest and I've gotten all the bones but when I scanned for polo's contact it spawned a marker underneath a volcano. I can't reach the osteologist and therefore can't finish the quest... does anyone have any ideas as to how to fix this?

#

Anyone having this issue? [Bug]

Is anyone else having issues with the Fleet Command Rooms in the freighters? I sent out 2 expeditions yesterday and went to debrief them both tonight. Only issue is that my Fleet Command Rooms aren't in my freighter anymore. I have 5 frigates out of commission and I can't debrief them. I did send a ticket into hello games. And yes I even loaded previous save and reset the game.

Expeditions won't work [Question]

I have yet to be able to play any of the expeditions that have come and gone, no matter what I do or when I try, even hours after it's supposedly "begun" it says "expedition complete" and that's that, ive be trying for the past few days to do it, anyone else had this issue? It's frustrating.

#

2 simultaneous settlement constructions [Information]

Hey folks just wanted to let you know about an interesting bug/feature I ran across, didn't see any other mentions, sorry if I'm repeating someone. I started a pumping station construction in my settlement in Hesperius and then made the jump through the galaxy center to Hyades. I then built a little base before I noticed that my settlement mission had been reset to the "build overseer building" point. I took a portal back to a nearby base and flew back to my settlement, where I was greeted with the opportunity to build (another) landing pad or (also another) marketplace. I chose the pad and was able to put in the ingredients for the 1st step and was able to put in the 2nd step ingredients for the tower so both are now counting down individually. This might be a bug that'll be patched in 3.63 but wanted to share. I will let you know what happens when the counters run down! Curious if this works for anyone else too.

Settlement help [Question]

I’m trying to find a new settlement cuz I don’t like mine but every single time I use a settlement chart it just bring me to one that belongs to another player, I’ve been at this for over an hour now and have had no luck finding one that hasn’t been owned. Does anyone have tips or ideas, I even have my multiplayer off

#

Free camera reset during building fix [Information]

So I was annoyed as Fock by the free camera turning off while I wanted to select another part. Apparently I was doing it wrong. I used up on d-pad as you should access building menu. Nope. You have to press circle for PS4 or B for xbone. You will stay in free camera mode. Was that just me who didn’t notice that earlier?

In search of White Grass or Earth-Like Planets [Discussion]

I have been playing since I preordered in 2016, and still haven't seen any if these.

The ones that come close have inverted colors/Aggressive Sentinels/constant storms/etc.

I looked on NMSCoodinateExchange and realised that if I go to someone's system (even if they are on a different system) it still is discovered by them.

If you put in an Euclid code, and you are in Eissentam, it will take you to a copy and paste planet, but instead of Euclid it would be in Eissentam. I tried that method, and they were still all discovered, even though they were in Eissentam, and I was on the same planet in the Euclid Galaxy.

IF ANYONE CAN HELP ME WITH THIS, OR HAS A PLANET THAT THEY FIND (that I can discover, name the system, and discover/name everything else in the system as well as the planet, and won't have any other player visitors) PLEASE LET ME KNOW AS IT WOULD BE MUCH APPRECIATED!!!!!😀👍

Help with VR [Question]

I get a constant 60 FPS on medium setting on No Man's Sky but when I try and play the game in VR it's completely unplayable and I'm probably get 15 FPS.

My Troubles With Settlements [Question]

Hello everyone, first time posting here.

Since Frontiers release, i have been on my creative save searching for a S class settlement to call home in Euclid. Figuring that 3 star settlements would be a good place to find high tier settlements on stable worlds, i began my search, but have failed to find any Paradise or decently safe worlds with high tier settlements.

Any tips/help for finding settlements would be appreciated.

Please note i have found settlements, they have been C classes on a dangerous world every time.

Can someone explain ship hunting to me? [Question]

I have a million questions. Does the race/economy of the system affect the ships? If so, in what ways? Does the star type of the system affect ships? What type of system is best for each ship type, such as fighters, explorers, haulers, etc? How can I find ships that are less “basic” and more cool looking? What are some overall tips for ship hunting? For some context, I’m a new player on the mission where I’m about to enter the big space station Anomaly thing. I’ve gathered about 5 million units from scavenging for ancient bones.

Building My Base In My Settlement [Question]

Do max level settlements always look the same in terms of building formation? Like, regardless of where the settlement spawns, are the buildings always going to be laid out the same way for each players settlement? Building my base in my settlement - don't want to build it where a settlement building will be in the future. Can anyone help?

Underwater Base Issues [Discussion]

I'm getting back into the game after stopping a few years ago. Yesterday, I started trying to build an underwater base. It's only a couple of deepwater chambers with watertight doors and a few glass tunnels so far.

Yesterday, it was working fine for me, but my friend was swimming through it. Today, I'm swimming through it as well. I tried deconstructing and reconstructing part of it, but now I float in some parts of it and stand in other parts. I'm hoping some of the more experienced players in here can help me out with how to fix this, because I haven't been able to find anyone else with this issue when searching forums in the last couple of years (might not be searching with the right words).

#

Settlement building timer doesn't work properly when the game is closed [Bug]

I've already reported this, but wanted to post here just in case anyone was wondering if they were alone.

I had a project at my settlement, set to take 1h 33m. I set a timer on my phone for 1h 33m and closed the game. When I launched again after roughly an hour, my phone timer was down to 24m, but the building timer was only at 56m.

I'm not sure if this is intended, but it surely shouldn't be. Right?

#

Settlement Building Seems To Be Bugged [Question]

I know there are still some tweaks that need to be made to this update. But I'm currently on my second settlement (abandoned my first and started one on my home planet). I've been waiting for 3 hours now and I still don't have the option to build anything. I've left the solar system many times and still nothing. Does anyone know how to trigger the build option?

#

Is oxygen really this rare? [Question]

I'm starting a new playthrough since it came out (yes, I've been sleeping on it for that long) and spent this entire day stuck. I'm trying to progress as the instructions say but I can't find oxygen at all. At most I find a dangerous plant to replenish life support but that's a waste since the time I spend to find oxygen for the refinery is used up in oxygen for life support, just a vicious cycle.

Already went to three different planets but I'm stuck now since the planet I landed on for copper has even less plants and worse, no fuel to get out of here.

Did I just waste my entire day and need to start over the game?

#

Can't select Community Expedition [Bug]

I wanted to try starting a new game to get the exclusive items but it doesn't let me. I can start any of the other game modes but not it. The activity wheel on the cursor doesn't load when I press it, but the others work.

Anyone know a fix?

I even tried on someone else's PC with a different account and the same thing happened.

#

Request to know building materials at the start of the waiting period [Suggestion]

I just submitted a suggestion to be told what the builders want next while the countdown is going on, rather than after. On one of my newer games, where I don't have a lot of BP, I had a 4-hour wait, so I did a QS mission at the Nexus, and then explored a hot planet I hadn't previously landed on, then logged out. When I came back the building wanted two heat capacitors (Solanium+Frost Crystal). I had to return to the Nexus to get the blueprint, return to the hot planet to harvest Solanuim and then go find a cold planet in another system to finish the items before returning to the colony. I don't see any reason the building menu can't say something like '2 heat capacitors needed in 3:50:34' or similar, and it would let us have the materials on hand when the time was up.

Thoughts?

PC - Using controller in build mode not working properly [Bug]

I'm working through the initial building quest, and am running into issues using an Xbox One controller (see my view below). I can move around, but cannot rotate the camera, place an object, or do basically anything else.

I can switch to the keyboard controls for building, but it's annoying.

Is there something I need to do? Some controller settings I need to reset to defaults? Steam doesn't have a developer recommended controller config.

outdoor plants stopped growing [Question]

Been away from the game for a long while. Came back for the new update and all my plants have stopped growing. When I scan them, I get an infinite loop symbol under growth time- it's not that they are slower now. I tried replanting them and get the same problem. They are in the correct biome, no trays or domes involved. I'm playing survival if it matters. I searched and found a few people with the same issue, but no one ever seems to have found a solution. Do I need to start a new save? Is it a bug or new feature? Thanks.

I became an overseer on an settlement and decided to try get a new one, help [Discussion]

So I found a settlement on my home world (after becoming an overseer at a bad planet cause I thought I had to with the quest). I want to become the overseer there but I need 3 items that did not have , so I put a custom waypoint down and tagged the settlement. When I went to the space station, I had to get off and I saved at the space station (both waypoint and tag still visible from station). I load back in and both are gone…. How do I find it?

Tips for finding S-Class Deep Level Mineral Deposits [Information]

I've been trying to ramp up my production by finding an S-class mineral deposit for every mineable resource in the game. It hasn't been easy. So I'm going to share some tips that helped me out, and see if anyone else has any pearls of wisdom to contribute. OK, here goes:

The Nomad is your best friend - Deposits are spread out very widely, at least over 400 units apart, usually a lot more. Walking is unadvised. It will take you an absurd amount of time just to FIND a new deposit, much less of the class you want. Don't use your ship, either. You will burn up so much launch fuel taking off and landing that it will drive you nuts constantly re-filling it. No, you want the Nomad. It is the fastest ground vehicle, it uses little fuel (Especially with the Icarus Fuel System installed, which auto-recharges your engine during daylight hours, giving you practically unlimited fuel!), It easily hovers over water, smashes through annoying obstacles like trees and big rocks, and it's quick to hop in and out of to check your scanner for deposits. You are also safe from environmental hazards and storms while inside, provided you install the proper environmental protection equipment for the type of planet you are on. Using the Nomad will cut your search time by an enormous amount over any other method I know of.

Pick a cardinal direction - Don't be a derpstick and wander around at random. It is EXTREMELY easy to end up wandering around back into an area you have already searched. Humans just tend to do this, and it's a real-life problem for people who get lost in the wilderness and think they are walking a straight line, but in reality are just making a gigantic loop back to where they started. Thankfully, in NMS we have a HUD compass! Pick a cardinal direction (N,S,E,W), and follow it at all times while you search. This guarantees you are always covering new, unsearched...

Can't Start Settlements. - -Help. [Question]

Looking for some help here.

Every settlement the Icon sends me to is "owned by another player" and the settlement is already named. My only option is to report offensive names.

I've been to over a dozen Settlements but they are all owned.

I try to talk to some of the settler NPC's to start the Sentinel Attack, but it never comes.

All NPCs have the same dialog about being interrupted but the attack never happens.

Is this bugged?

What can I do?

The No-Save in Nexus Missions Policy [Suggestion]

I have had plenty of problems with crashing today, none so infuriating as just now, when I completed a Nexus mission. I was entering the anomaly to collect the reward when the game crashed. I loaded right buck up and spawned in the Nexus with a little blurb popping up about how Nexus missions must be completed all at once so I lose. If the game is going to crash on my way into the anomaly how is that my fault? At least let the mission count as complete after the objectives are met.

Most Effecient Way Of Getting Navigational Data? [Question]

So I am in desperate need of navigational data so I can acquire some more settlement maps (the game ate my last one and it did nothing).

I have not dealt with navigational data in a while. How does one find them easily? I believe they used to be those red glowing cubes. Unsure if that is still the case and how I may find those easily.

Thanks for any help.

Can i build a base on the same planet as a settlement? [Question]

I want to have a massive house looking down on my town, much like how my mayor looks down on us from his hilltop mansion. I placed down a base computer but it told me there is already one on the planet, which there isn't... Is it because it's on a hill? Or can i not build near a settlement?

#

"Other Player's Settlement" [Question]

Hi,

When the update dropped, the settlement that I was lead to was on another planet within my home system - I started the story from that settlement but decided to find one on my home paradise planet. So, I went and purchased multiple settlement charts from the station, and it has led me to 3 separate settlements - ALL of which say "another player's settlement" when I try and become the overseer. I live alone in this system. Is this a glitch? Am I doing something wrong?

Contemplated buying NMS for months now. Finally bought it after it went on sale on PSN, and how I feel about the game was unexpected. [Discussion]

I have lost my weekend to this game. It was been many years since I’ve played a game that I haven’t been able to put down. Took me back nostalgically to when I would game for hours on end as a kid. All I will say is that a game that I remember flopping straight from launch, has been transformed into a game I have fallen in love with. Glad to be part of this community now.

Enjoy the game in 30 minutes [Question]

Historically I've been playing in bursts over the years for a couple hours every 4 or 5 months (so far over 200+ hours). Lately I've had to budget my personal time very tightly so I get 30 minutes of gaming every week day, and I'm wondering if that's enough time to do anything worth while in this game. With the previous gaming bursts I found that I would spend a great deal of that time relearning mechanics or learning new game mechanics and less actually playing the game. I've also been struggling this whole time to get one specific base built the way I want it (lots of time spent mining ferrite). I'm thinking if I play more consistently I might enjoy it more, but it's hard enough for me to progress in a fast paced ARPG, and NMS seems to be very slow paced.

So can this game be enjoyed in 30 minutes of gameplay a day, or would it be too frustrating? Assume I start the counter after I load up a save.

Destroy Planetary Depot Bug [Bug]

So I'm doing the quest line for my armourer and he wasn't me to locate a sentinel Depot. I destroyed the depot from afar using my multi-tool because I didn't want to fight the sentinels but I guess that was a no no. Now I can't progress the mission at all. I've tried a lot of different things to right my wrong. I've destroyed at least 10 resource depots on foot and up close. I've destroyed multiple depots on other planets. I even had my gf start a new save so I could join her in another instance as to reset the depot location in her save. I destroyed the new depot in her new game but still no progress. I returned to my original save solo and was given the option to reset the mission because going to her new save had the quest too far away. I reset the mission and of course he sends me to the original sentinel Depot which is already destroyed. I've done everything I've read and then some but not dice. Can anyone help?

Changing animals [Question]

I noticed the animals on my home planet are changing, some of them have horn they didn't before and such parts. Is this bug after update or there is some evolution system in game?

This is not what No Man’s Sky was. [Discussion]

This one’s gonna be long and controversial, but here it is.

No Man’s Sky started out promising to be an exploration game, set in space with sci-fi elements. It got that, and kept mostly up to that at first. We got foundations; freighters, bases, the foundation of the game. Pathfinder, cool now we have cars. Atlas Rises brings sci-fi lore, and Next is the first overhaul update.

Abyss, Visions, Beyond. No real problems yet, but the first trickle shows up. Sean, where is our ability to land on asteroids? Where is our close proximity sun? Where are gas planets? Where’s our sci-fi? Do note, this is not the old ‘Sean is a liar’ bit. What happened was we got an ocean update, a lore/planet-gen update, and an overhaul update. But we got grounded. Space is more empty than ever.

Here comes Synthesis, the first little update. Followed by Living Ship, Exo Mech, and Desolation. We get the ability to upgrade ships, we get a new ship, a mech that doesn’t do anything, and, finally, something to do with space. But it’s a dungeon. Ok don’t get your hopes down too much yet.

Origins. Planet exploration overhaul. Next Generation happened I guess, ooooh look Companions. What? This space game got shoved into the earth and now we get… pets? Then what’s next hurts. Expeditions was the exact opposite of what the game needs. We were just given seasonal quests, with one time rewards and a time limit. No, not in my infinite space exploration game with no limits in time but your own perseverance and loading screens. I get that HG wanted the community to come together, but this is really what they put their resources into? Prisms gave me hope with the space station core though. Finally something big to do in space. But then the probable theories start rolling in, with the idea of ownership of a space station taking many billions of units, which then lead to ‘well why not...

How do you delete one of your own bases if you can't reach the base computer? [Question]

A few updates ago, I think it was either Next Generation or Origins, turned my completely barren planet into one with giant fungi everywhere that I can't remove and have huge invisible walls around them. This also covered over half my main base at the time.

After this update with all the new pieces I'm going around deleting bases I never use and discovered one of the huge fungi, and the invisible wall around it, is preventing me from reaching my base computer. I tried placing another one down and that didn't work.

Is there some way for me to remove this base without the use of the base computer in a way that removes all the pieces from my maximum pieces placed? Whether or not I get all the materials back is irrelevant.

Want to start playing again, haven’t played since desolation [Discussion]

I’m thinking about redownloading the game after i’m done with psychonauts 2, but i haven’t played it in a good while. I would love to hear anyone’s perspective on what they personally love since desolation (last update i played) and what right now has them coming back to the game and enjoying it.

Sorry if tons of people ask questions like this all the time, i just really wanna hear what players like about the new updates and not just read some game journalists take

Upgrading Warpdrives in Frontiers [Question]

I haven't played for a couple of years, I remember being able to purchase the blueprints for the different warpdrives. However, I haven't been able to find these blueprints at anyone of the vendors upon coming back to the game. What am I missing? Do I need to follow the atlas or Artemis quest lines? Or do I just need to keep jumping from all the low tier stars until I find a vendor?

No Man's Sky Save Data Deleted [Bug]

I did all the steps on the guide: Loaded up the PS4 version and brought PS4 data to cloud. Started up PS5 version Loaded PS4 data to PS5 version with cloud button in game

I put over 80 hours into this game and it only shows a save from some random playthrough that only has about 50 mins on it.

Please bring back the pitch and roll rotation options for build mode. [Suggestion]

What the title says. There was nothing wrong with this feature in base-building and actually helps in a lot of unique designs. I understand that the build UI needed an overhaul, but that doesn’t necessarily mean a complete removal or limitation of a feature in the game. Perhaps, in place of directly rotating an object either only left or right, the binding for rotating an object could have its action replaced by the old rotating interface and could be accessed by pressing both buttons that currently alter rotation (ps5 would be L1 + R1, I don’t know bindings for mnk or xbox). It is just a suggestion, but I would very much like to have full control of the rotation of base decorations like we had before the overhaul.

NMS HELP! - Cannot Build | Base Out of Range [Bug]

Hello so I recently got back into NMS after buying it a while ago and I have run into this issue where I am unable to build on the freighter I bought. I ofc googled around and have found many threads from many years ago about this issue but nothing recently so I am just wondering has anyone found a fix for this issue.

PS4 save data lost [Question]

I recently downloaded version 3.62 of No Man's Sky on my PS4 and when I booted the game I found that I'd lost all my save files but the file in the first save slot. I was wondering if there was any way to recover them as I lost a save with over 60 hours in it. I tried downloading my old save data from 2 months ago but I'm still missing all but the same first slot.

Tiny Base serves one purpose. [Build]

This is a little base I build on my current home of Drumheller Alpha. Indigenous Dragodiplo for cuteness. Recently, I lost my Settlement. Thanks to another Redditor, I was able to find it again. This tiny base serves one purpose. If I lose the marker for my Settlement again, the base is only 723 meters away. The teleporter is not laying on it's side due to glitch building. At least not MY glitch building. The game itself suggested various spots on the floor, and I thought it looked cool.

Am I stuck? [Question]

Just picked up the game. I am currently on the mission to use the three signal boosters. The third and final one is at an outpost type building. When I put down the booster it doesn't give the option to triangulation. I tried putting it on the roof, flying a little bit away and putting it down. Nothing seems to work. Am I hard locked for that quest? 😔

Settlement “pending decisions” for a day now [Question]

So I claimed a new settlement on my home planet and left the old one, it let me build a office but now it’s been a day/two and I’m still pending decisions to build something while my debt just racks up. Ive gone out of the galaxy and came back and still nothing, even sent frigate ships but its not doing anything is this a glitch for the new update?

Likholu Phantom Star [Question]

Just over a year ago i had built a massive base Likolu system, logged into the game today after many months away and noticed the likholu wasn't availble on my bases list, was the system removed form the game? any idea why the base i built there may not be showing? I know this was a system you cant jump too, just wanted to know if any long term players aware if Likholu is still in the game?

Settlement problem. Solved... [Information]

I had been having a problem getting back to my settlement. It won't show up in the teleporters, station ones, base ones, or Anomaly one. Nor was the icon for the base showing above the planet so I couldn't find where it was. I went through and deleted some bases that I had put base computers down for place holders for possible builds... and now it's back.

At least the portal option is. Haven't left the planet since porting back and fixing the problems the settlement had, yet.

So in case anyone else is having this problem. Here's a bit of a fix / workaround.

#

Black hole exits [Information]

I am unsure if this has been covered before I haven't read too deep into the sub for it but I thought this was very interesting.

I set up a settlement on a planet that you could see a black hole from jumped in it then a couple black holes then teleported back decide to try that black hole again and just realized it spit me out the exact same place as last time I was on the impression you were always being random place I didn't realize it was an actual point to point travelpath

New races could add a new style of architecture to the game. [Suggestion]

Each race apparently is related to the different sets of architecture in the game. Gek are wooden, Vykeen like stone, and Korvax like Alloy. Imagine if we had a couple new styles to play with, and races to accompany them..

My suggestions for these architecture styles would be:

Eastern. I know it sounds a bit racist to some, but a lot of Asian people don't mind seeing their culture acting as Inspiration, which unfortunately a lot of Americans don't realize. I personally would love to build beautiful Asian cities and structures. The settlement and ship design I imagine would be beautiful. I wonder what kind of race would come with it. Perhaps it could be inspired by a Yokai or a Kami. It doesn't even have to be Japanese inspired. Korea, or China would be just as beautiful. Or even something else like Taiwan. Or all of them! Imagine the bamboo furnishings and trees as well. Bamboo forested like planets could even be a new planet style.

European castle style. I know that we have stone, but it looks more middle eastern, or roman than Europe. A castle midieval inspired race would be fun. Don't know why I really like the idea of this race being dragon like. Perhaps it could be based on the legends of lizard people around the world that are said to be very violent. Perhaps it could add a new enemy faction that is more aggressive and conquest oriented. It would be cool to play as an evil race.

Underwater race. A race that builds it's settlements and outposts under the oceans. They can also fly their ships through it, and be key to unlocking under water flight. Could take inspiration from rumored underwater UAPs in the real world.

For such a big galaxy I feel there arent enough races. They should have more of them. I understand if they can't be like Star Wars. That would be a nightmare to program. More would however add variety to our Galaxy. :)

Settlement charts and..help? [Question]

So I've found a desert planet that I really want to start a settlement on and after walking around it for awhile, I went to a chart in my inventory and selected Plot Route for a Settlement and it gave me one on a Paradise planet sadly. Other than just flying around and searching, are there other ways to find settlements on a specific planet? Using charts again, even after I've gone to the one it shows me, just brings up the one on the Paradise planet.

Help, damaged ship question reset after repair [Bug]

I started nms a few days ago and on one of the main missions I found the ship isdhikuc gn3.

It was heavily damaged and I spent a lot of time fixing it up. Later when I was mining ore I came back to the ship and everything was broken again and all the inventory I had stored in it was gone.

Is this a known glitch? Was it just that particular ship or will that keep happening? I was really bummed/ am bummed I spent a few hours on that ship and I lost a lot of resources because of it.

Some aspects of the new build system are really annoying me [Question]

For some reason I cannot get the access ramps to snap to the holo doors when base building. I’ve already tried toggling snap on and off and nothing. Now I have a bunch of doors I can’t walk through without jet packing over a hump. Anyone know how to fix? I love the update but I’ve been having issues like this with the new build system. Anyone else?

#

Haven't played for two years, should I start over? [Suggestion]

As the title says I haven't played the game in about two years and with all of the new features I'm wondering if I'm better off starting from scratch. It wouldn't be a big deal but I remember that I have a ton of resources, multiple large bases and a space fleet. I tried playing a few months ago and got overwhelmed with all I had going on and couldn't remember how everything worked, but now I'm determined to play again and make a settlement, get a living ship and breed some alien animals. So what are your opinions/suggestions? Can I revive a two year dormant character in the modern game? I'm about to start playing again and need to decide where to go. Thanks in advance!

Wish they did more with ship combat [Discussion]

Space shooters are quite rare and almost entirely unique in the way they play. From both implementations of combat, being in space or on land, I found the former to be far better implemented in NMS even if still kind-of superficial. There's a foundation here that isn't really exploited yet.

I played Elite: Dangerous for quite a while too, and there was very little I enjoyed more than ship PvP - especially in the small crafts like the Eagle. It's the primary reason I kept coming back to that game. Now NMS has only a modicum of the depth of Elite when it comes to ship combat, but what is there feels quite smooth and responsive. If this at some point becomes more of a focal point I'd feel way more inclined to keep coming back to upgrade my ship.

I genuinely don't even know whether ship PvP is a thing in NMS, but even if it were I'd expect it to be rather superficial. All thrusters seem to stabilize themselves even when there is no friction present and there are very few weapon options. This significantly decreases the skill expression possible. But the PvE is also quite bland; it is way, way too easy even when selecting the most difficult missions.

For me this is the foremost thing I wish Hello Games would expand upon. This kind of end-game PvP/PvE would justify playing the game more, especially for PvP inclined people like myself.

Settlements. [Bug]

Every settlement I go to is already owned(I'm using the charts) even in systems that no one's ever been to. Planets will even say first contact but the base will be owned by someone else. Is this a bug? Or do the charts only show owner settlements?

Planetary Survey Strategies? [Discussion]

What’s you’re sure-fire strategy to completing a planetary survey? I’ve found all the fauna, and more than all the minerals (?), but can’t find 2 of 25 flora. I’ve searched all of the different terrain types I can see, searched several caves, searched underwater, even searched underwater caves (which weren’t any different than regular underwater to me). It’s an ash-shrouded world, so while I’m looking for plants m stocking up on storm crystals, but I’m getting kinda tired of this planet and now want to finish the damned survey and turn in the mission…

Returning VR player, any tips to get back into the game? [Question]

Hi, I played a little bit (about 3 hours) of NMS when VR came out but I had found the controls, especially flying, to be quite janky and my graphics card not quite up to the task.

I've recently upgraded my graphics card and would like to get back in with a new game. I've been following all the amazing updates for this game and I'm a bit worried it might all be overwhelming (derelict stations, hatching eggs, now horizons etc etc).

Do you guys have any tips for starting a new game after all these updates? Would all this stuff feel overwhelming to a new player who's still figuring out how to fly without crashing into everything?

Rediscovered after the evac! Finally this game is what it was supposed to be! [Discussion]

So, I pre-ordered this game initially. The game was delayed and I pre-ordered it again. The excitement was building, watching dev videos, looking for more new info on development, biding my time, waiting for the glorious game we were led to believe was coming. It came out, I played it for about a month, fully upgraded my self and ship. Learned enough of the languages to get by. Then fell off, there was little to do. I bought elite dangerous (great game, better combat, more adult feel) now I've been deep into that game. It's what I had hoped no man's sky would be at launch. Now after being evacuated for a fire, I've refound my love for this game! Thankfully it's not online only like elite. Hello games has done so much, and really done wonders for this game. It's grown so much since launch. I'm now happy I bought it rather than upset like I was. The game is full, the landscapes are beautiful, more places to go and stuff to find. I've just discovered owning a freighter and settlement. Thanks hello games! I'm glad to see what house done.

Couldn't progress the mission [Discussion]

So I'm in a mission where I need to triangulate a posssition using beacon but while the first beacon worked fine when I place the second beacon on the place the game tells me, it didn't work, so do anyone know how to fix this?

#

For the Next update... [Suggestion]

Context: I've played the game for about 320 hours now, multiple playthroughs, checked every new update. Personally i'm still unsatisfied with the game and it's progress, unlike many other players of course. I believe some of their updates were mainly pointless as they added new things that weren't useful in any way. And hereby i mean the things they added, any bug fixes or polishing of course has improved the game a little. Please don't read this post as a Rant or Complaint.

A mechsuit, has no purpose, i can do everything with my normal spacesuit just the same.

Deep sea diver, not really useful unless you choose to live on a water planet.

Abandoned freighters, RNG based drops need updating or why have them at all?

I really really want to like the game more, but there are so many things that Would make the game so much more interesting/entertaining or surprising to play instead of the endless base building stuff that we get. Hell, building a beautiful base is pretty much pointless as nobody will really see it unless they are with you in a party and/or you invite them there. An abandoned base from a player that doesn't play the game anymore, is invisible.

Instead of more base building and what not, can they actually make the game more interesting Space-wise?

Fixes need fixing:

Allow multiple freighters in co-op, currently only one person per solar system can call their freighter which is immensely annoying when playing with a friend.

Clunky character movement, constantly get held up by tiny rocks or invisible edges, it feels slow and unresponsive in general.

A settlement should generate WAY more money. With an activated indium farm half it's size i earn triple the amount of credits in less time.

Flying needs another overhaul. Make it more fun, challenging, experiencing. Currently you fly away and there's nothing to it, becomes stale very quickly. I...

About the new colonys [Question]

So how do we improve happiness in a colony?

Do we need to get out of debt before it grows? Does it grow naturally?

[Possible bug?] "Settlers" (Become Overseer) bug? [Question]

So, I've been having problems with Frontier's "The Settlers" secondary mission ever since I got it. It wants me to visit a settlement and become the Overseer. I've visited like 6 or 7 settlements now and every time it tells me that it belongs to another player. It also shows that the settlement has 0 citizens, happiness, productivity, maintenance and sentinel activity, even though there are many citizens in the settlement. Interacting with them doesn't help, I get the same responses, something like "The Sentinels have arrived" over and over again.

I'd like to know if it's a bug or if I'm just doing something wrong, so any help is welcome.

Update Idea: Swapping the ship parts [Suggestion]

We can upgrade the ship class we can upgrade ship inventory size we can upgrade the ship upgrades

The only missing thing is swapping ship parts. Like putting on a different wing or completely another cockpit. This could also be the endgame for the units.

Or what if we could take off the wings of a ship we scrapped and put it on ours.

I love my ship, it's fully upgraded, but I would like to change the look a bit.

Underwater fauna still not spawning? [Question]

Even tried throwing out a tonne of bait in the deeper water areas and nothing seems to be helping.

Even closing the game and reloading doesn’t seem to be changing the spawns as has been mentioned when I’ve searched for this problem

Why the way Frontiers introduced settlements is brilliant (opinion) [Discussion]

When I realized that frontiers settlements are meant to be run by player I was quite confused at first. But after thinking for a while I came to conclusion that as gameplay mainly revolves around farming resources and surviving I simply don't know what kind of other purpose would they have. Cities simply don't go together with this genre. However by making settlements run by player they've managed to blend them perfectly.

Another reason why it blends so well is because similar gameplay elements have been around for quite a while now. It always feel kind of strange that in space our traveller was some kind of an influential leader like figure having a huge freighter with crew and fleet of 30 frigates while on planets he was a lonely wolf. Even speaking of bases the traveller was their only inhabitant (specialists don't count).

So apparently we start small and lonely and grow big and influential now.

The base terminal quests are really outdated, or am i going mad? [Question]

So I'm out here chilling, did some of the artemis path, and now I'm moving on to work with base terminals... And I got the scientist. The scientist's first quest is to get Marrow Bulbs, which will eventually lead to him teaching me how to make more advanced refiners

I take a quick trip downstairs as a sanity check. Yep, my LARGE REFINER IS STILL THERE, REAL AS DAY.

This isn't the first time I've noticed something around bases being intensely outdated. The base archives quests desynced at one point, giving me a different recipe from the one It promised: one I already had, mind.

Am I the victim of a bug here, or are these quests genuinely outdated?

Get quicksilver items for free [Bug]

Saw this on YouTube, professor cynical and lucifer227.

https://youtu.be/pfM8MTpUl9I

It's a bug that will no doubt be fixed soon but you can get QS items for free this way. But you must have at least some QS to do it.

Go to anomaly. Go to QS merchant Spend some QS on some items you want. Then reload your quick save from options menu Go back to QS merchant.

Settlement - Sentinel Alert Level stuck & SOLUTION! [Information on Settlements]

So Sentinel Alert Level has been 100% all day (was 97% last night) but nothing is happening. If I go away from the settlement, I get the 'under attack' notice to go back but nothing happens.

I also don't have the settlement as a teleport option so I wonder if that's part of it. I have to tp into my nearby base and use my short range teleporters to go into town.

UPDATE: As I was writing this post... Ok so this was my second settlement after a hell planet and I found a paradise instead. It was a different galaxy and always had the red spiral next to the log entry. So I restarted it (hold middle mouse button), ready to go back to starting again. But it didn't! I immediately had a new building to build, a new person to accept, and the sentinels came for a party.

So in case you are having similar problems, I thought I would post anyway.

Cinematic Mods and Tools [Question]

Hello Guys, i like to work on a short cinematic video about no Mans sky but i can’t find any mods or tools that let me move around my camera while the game is still going on. Do you know any mods that would help in creating such cinematics? Thanks in advance and a good week fellow Travelers :)

Anyone want some company to do the thing or look at the stuff? [Discussion]

30 yo dude, faily soft-spoken... but can somewhat hold a conversation, depends on the intake of geknip 😅.

Game is suddenly crashing. Help? [Question]

I have been playing the past couple if days in 3 or 4 hour sessions without a problem. Suddenly, it's been crashing a lot today. I can't go 10 min without a crash. Is there a procedure to fix this? It was working fine yesterday...

The Debt Situation [Question]

Hi Guys! I'm on my third day playing Frontiers but I don't understand the debt system. My settlement produces more than the maintenance fees, yet when I return to my settlement the next day we are in debt again. What happens to the excess cash and why am I in debt the next day? Am I missing something? Thanks in advance

When is/was the third expedition? [Question]

This got me curious. Looked in the quicksilver shop under "collect expedition rewards" option. It has rewards for expedition 3 in there. I wasn't aware there was a third one. Last one I remember was the one with the Normandy as the reward which I'm sure was expedition 2 unless I'm remembering it wrong.

Please fix the base building problems!! [Discussion]

I can't build anything very feasibly right now! It's getting really annoying.

When I use the free camera the whole world despawns and I fall through the terrain! Also when free camera does work, if I want to get the menu up and select a different part the camera resets and goes back to my character! How are we supposed to build like this?!

#

Possible extend of modding? [Question]

I'm a long time developer and enjoy modding my favorite games. I have lots of ideas for this game, but have no reason to think I'll ever see them without doing it myself. What is the extent that this game can be modded? Where's the best place to find NMS mods and advice? Are there any shared code repositories?

#

Crossing The Frontiers [Discussion]

A rather sizable portion of players (myself included) haven't been able to properly enjoy this latest update due to the standard teething issues NMS updates entail.

We know HG are working on these as I type and as you read. Blessedly, the issues haven't slowed the roll of masochistic travellers as far as trying to interact with the update, and through that there's been some learning as far as how extensive this iteration of the mechanic is.

I think it'd be fun to have a think about what a Frontiers 2.0 could bring to the table because as a foundation for future content, I regard this as really special albeit shallow.

An idea that's been rolling around in my head since this launched was the possibility of recruiting settlers to work on your frigates - ideally as part of an overhaul of the entire freighter/frigate system. The choice of who to bring onboard could be based on unique attributes that you cultivate by performing procedural settlement quests on the ground which you would initiate by interacting with any of your settlers, similarly to what you might expect from a Bethesda title but with 16 times the detail because you're entangling various gameplay systems to create an experience that's greater than the sum of its parts.

That's me trying to get the ball rolling, I'd love to hear the ways you would like to see Hello Games develop on this new part of the experience moving forward!

Getting stuck in briefing room (Frigate Expeditions) [Question]

Whenever I debrief an expedition on my freighter and I get one of those items which have a random name and age I get stuck in the briefing room and have to reload a save because I would be stuck forever otherwise. This doesn't happen if I don't receive such an item.

It's keeping me from being able to send anymore expeditions away.

Anyone else having this issue? Maybe a quick fix?

Getting borderless window mode to work [Bug]

I searched wide and far, found multiple threads on this issue from years ago, but none of what was described there had any effect for me.

Thing is, I use a setup with three monitors. While playing, the central one displays the game while the others display stuff like my browser. I often switch screens for nothing more than a single click, like opening a new music video in the browser or something like that.

This has so far never been a problem with any game that offers a borderless window mode, which means it works for pretty much every game today. Well, with the exception of No Man's Sky. Though the game is offering a borderless window mode, it is not really behaving that way. Switching screens causes all monitors to go black for a couple of seconds, just like using a real fullscreen mode. Which is extremely annoying if you just want to click a single time outside the games window.

Other threads suggested disabling the steam overlay, editing the graphics settings file or starting in fullscreen and then switching modes. None of that had any effect. Are there any other solutions today to the problem that borderless window mode does in fact behave like true fullscreen? I'd love to play the game again after the latest update, but this bug has driven me away from the game years ago and its close to doing it again.

Thanks for anything in advance!

Anyone know why I have two different style walls? [Question]

Personally I’m not a fan of the new alloy walls or at least what I originally thought was them mainly due to the Colour patterns available. My base is made of the old metal with black and yellow patters cause I enjoyed the way it looked. Trying to see what the new one looked like I placed it down plain more round looking which might not be that bad if the colour options were better. But while trying to fix an issue created by another bug I came across the new alloy stairs and floor panels that had a nice dark brick style pattern to it and discovered certain spots where if I placed a wall it has the same kind of style to it but I can’t get that style everywhere. I don’t know if it’s the same for everyone but in my game it looks like the back of the extruded alloy wall or the extruded wall if it didn’t have the white cover at the top. The description might suck but hopefully it’s enough I tried to post the picture but I guess I couldn’t without a URL, I haven’t posted here before but I’m gonna try again.

Settlement maps keep pointing me to the same settlement. [Question]

So i've found a pretty decent planet that I want to start a settlement on and the first settlement I found on it wasn't great. Has some pretty bad happiness issues including a parameter that will have people leave ocassionally because of "bad water". Also there's a giant freaking hill in the middle of the settlement with a couple of the buildings buried in it. Everytime i've used a Settlement map to find a different settlement, it always points to that same settlement. Is there anyway to stop it from doing that and have it point out a different settlement?

#

Credit where it's due [Answered]

I feel like I've done little else than complain about crashes and bugs lately, but I'd like to take a moment and thank the whole team for fixing the issue with structures not holding back the weather. They even made the floor tiles do the job, so as long as you are mostly enclosed you are safe inside from storms 🎉🎊🤸 Not sure about giant worms yet though, I only just encountered one and he pops up at least once per day but hasn't hit my base yet. Scares the bejesus outta me every time too 😂 so well done on that as well, he is the only thing in this game that scares me.

#

Saving issues [Bug]

The game is not saving properly for me.

I can make aronium to build a landing pad for my settlement.If I put it in a container and logout/login it’s gone.

When I start the pad building and logout/login it’s like I never started it?

It’s a serious deal breaker for me I can’t progress any at all.

This is on ps5 btw.

Progress / refiner loops / story [Question]

Hello! :)

Haven't played for a while and 'back then' the refining loops were still a thing.

After checking the net yesterday (and the fresh large refiner) I realized that this is no longer an option (or with hard caps, especially for the start).

Actual question now:

  • how do I properly progress in the game?

  • are bases on planets (teleporter network) still a thing?

  • is the freighter you get after a few story missions (I just reached Anomaly and a random dude gave me items worth 50 million units, so thanks for the head-start) the get-go for any real progression in the game?

If there are any articles available for these specific questions, please feel free to just point me there.

Thanks in advance for the help and really curious on my next hours ingame :)

Happy exploring / harvesting everyone!

Cuboid Foundation Struts not snapping to correct side. [Question]

When building with cuboid rooms, the foundation struts (both single and quad) won't snap to the bottom. The only snap point it shows is on the top at a 90° angle. The larger foundations for circular rooms work without issue.

Is anyone else seeing the same thing, specifically on Playstation? Is there something else that needs to be done to make them attach to the bottom?

Temporary Bug Fix (PS4 - frame stuttering and frequent crashing) [Bug]

So, ever since Beyond my PS4 has suffered from a rather annoying "stutter" when playing NMS. Don't get me wrong, I know PS4 (standard) is not the "smoothest" gaming experience for NMS, however this stutter was very noticeable and occurred every 10 seconds or so. Fast forward to Frontiers and the stutter is still there, but now the game also crashes like clockwork after about 10-20 minutes of playing. I submitted reports to zen desk etc but continued to explore potential solutions on my own.

Anyway, I tried all the stuff that you can find littered about various forums and posts. I uninstalled and reinstalled the game. I rebuilt the database on my PS4, I turned off multiplayer, I tried different resolution settings, I moved the game to the internal hard drive rather than running it off my external SSD, still the issue persisted and I was devastated (70+ hours on permadeath plus numerous hours across other modes too). Then I noticed my son playing on his profile on the PS4, there was no frame stutter and he was playing for over an hour with no crash.

In investigating the differences between my game and what my son way playing, I could see no differences at all, other than he played his via his profile on the same PS4. I then realized that I limited my son's profile's internet access so he can't access a browser and won't get messages from random strangers while playing. I started thinking "well, despite having multiplayer turned off, maybe my profile is still communicating with the internet in some way and this is whats causing the stutter and crash?" So, last night I just took out the ethernet cable from my ps4.

The stutter was gone and I was able to play for 3 beautiful uninterrupted hours without crashes. The problem was fixed!!! (albeit without access to any online content).

I thought I would post this in case anyone else is experiencing the...

New No Man's Sky player, Long time Fallout 4 Player [Question]

Hello,

I've always been intrested in No Man's Sky but simply building a base for myself isn't very appealing to me but I Looooooooooove the Settlement building in Fallout 4.

It seems the civilian interactions are much more detailed than in Fallout 4 but I haven't been able to find much info about defense.

Are there turrets and other defences I can eventually set up to protect my settlements from hostiles or do I just kinda do quests where I personally defend my settlement with my own guns?

Discovered a planet but settlement already occupied? [Question]

Hey! So I just discovered this planet (which was undiscovered before) and I right away used my settlement chart to see where was a settlement that I could oversee. So I get there and it says "other player's settlement" and it doesn't let me apply.

Crashed Spaceship Help [Question]

Alright, so I found a crashed exotic S-Class, really, really want to add it to my collection, so I went to the beacon right next to it and went with the prompt to go into the cockpit. The following message told me that I was too put off by the stench of the dead body that I immediately left. So I reloaded and tried the other prompt which just gave me a multi tool. All the while this ship is just sitting there, and I can't seem to get in. I figure they changed something since I last played, but for the life of me I can't figure out what

Settlement Glitch..? [Bug]

So on my first settlement, I figured I would have to fly to it, so I built a base on the edge of town. When I left and came back, the base computer had merged into the center of town, and every building doubled everything on top of each other. Now I can’t remove the base? I’ve tried everything, do I just have to wait on the next patch?

Building not completing [Question]

I just updated to 3.62 on PS4 and started building a Hazard Control Unit. It took 80 Pure Ferrite and 20 minutes. However, this is now the third time I've put in the resources, waited for 20 minutes and it resulting in absolutely nothing. It keeps saying I need to put in 80 Pure Ferrite again for the same building structure. I really like my settlement and don't want to lose it due to this, is there a fix for it at the moment or best to wait for the 3.63 patch to release on PS4?

Can you glitch settlement decisions? [Question]

Is there a way to glitch settlement decisions to actually work? I found the perfect settlement on a paradise planet, on an island and it even has a electromagnetic field near by I’ve used to power my massive base that sits on the hill overlooking the settlement.

However, after building the overseer building yesterday I’ve not gotten another chance to build anything or solve a dispute. Is there a way to get it to pop up? I’m a 30yr old single parent and honestly the time sink of having to tear down everything I built and find another settlement is a temporary deal breaker till a patch fixes this. So just looking for a temporary solution, thanks! Happy exploring.

Stuck waiting on a settlement? Jump the galaxy center! [Information]

Jumping through the galaxy center resets the settlement wait time.

I have confirmed that four times with two different saves (Normal and Permadeath).

You can portal your way to the galaxy center and jump (it doesn't matter if you have previously been in the next galaxy or not)

Once you spawn in the new planet, the mission log for your settlement will reset just as if it was a new mission. Don't worry. That is part of the bug. Just go to the nearest space station and teleport back to your settlement. You will instantly get a new building opportunity message, then a decision event within a few minutes (In my four tests, I got two citizen disputes and two new visitors/upgrades).

Cheers!

Notes:

I can confirm this works even if you have existing construction projects. My settlement at some point had three concurrent projects, each with its own progress timer.

If you are new to jumping the galaxy core, PLEASE thread carefully as doing it will break almost everything on your exosuit, your ship, and your multitool. This post has some good tips for making the jump, as well as portal coordinates for the last jump from the center (works in any galaxy).

Freighter Conversation Bug [Bug]

Hey guys,

I just started play NMS again and have encountered a freighter issue. Whenever I try to interact with the navigator, captain, or my control rooms, the conversation immediately shuts down and seems to force the camera into space before flying back to my character. This means I cant send out any expeditions or recruit new frigates to my fleet. I've tried relaunching but still no luck. Any clues what to do?

NMS Thoughts and Questions [Discussion]

I only recently started playing NMS, after seeing it available on Xbox Gamepass. I had been avoiding it for the longest time due to my memory of the rough release and following silence between updates, but I decided to take a chance and see if it had gotten any better, and I was honestly more than pleasantly surprised. I was, frankly, blown away by how amazing this game is.

Of course, there are still lots of bugs and silly things that could harm the playability of other games, but despite the little flaws I find here and there, this game has become one of my all time favorite games in only 2 weeks of playing.

Right now, my only goal has been to raise my credits to the point I can buy a decent hauler ship, so I've been farming Radon, Nitrogen, and Sulphurine to make the ingredients for Cryo Pumps, which sell pretty well for the amount of work put into them. Other than that, I've got a freighter now, and am able to travel up to green stellar bodies. I just have a few questions if anyone could be so kind as to give me a hand.

Do you have any tips on how to make money faster? I take on missions and trade and harvest resources and do everything I can to increase the size of my wallet, but it always feels like I never have enough. I've got 10 harvesters each on 3 separate planets harvesting all those gasses to make cryo pumps, but that makes about 10 pumps an hour, so I'm only making, at most, 15mil per hour. Any advice?

What's the best way to gather upgrade modules, both for the freighter and the normal ones? I was lucky to spawn on a planet very well endowed with upgrade modules, but can't help but feel like I don't have a good way to harvest them quickly. Are there any planets in particular that spawn them faster? Or are there ways to get them without needing to dig for them?

Any idea just how massive the alien vocabulary is? I've been working pretty hard to get better at...

Who else loves creative mode? [Discussion]

I just got my pre-Covid full time job back, and creative mode is a blessing. You can enjoy 90% of the game without worrying about resource management or grinding. Settlement building stages complete in 10 seconds. No grinding S class ships, just upgrade a C class for free… no mods needed.

I’m going to keep one normal save file, but future saves will be all creative 👍

Multi tool from distress beacon bug? [Question]

I'm new to the game (10 hours). I found a distress beacon and when interacted with, it says there's a damaged multi-tool, I press the button to try it and it says that it burned my hands but that the multi tool is fully operational (or something like that). Then it opens the screen (I think one for swapping my existing multi tool with the new one) for a quarter of a second and then it closes because I take damage. Is this a bug? Can I somehow still get the multi tool? I still have the starting one..

Planet visual glitch [Bug]

I'm a new player so I don't know if it's an old glitch or from the new update.

how does settlement debt work? [Question]

Like I asked, how does it work? My settlement has a profit on 150k a day and yet my debt of 40k says it will take over half a day to clear. shouldn't it only be like 8ish hours?

#

The Ability to Turn Off Contextual Base Parts [Suggestion]

Let me start off by saying I love the base building overhaul, and I think the intelligent contextual building adds a beautiful level of detail to walls, and is absolutely necessary for the proc-gen settlements. If you're unfamiliar with what the contextual building is, it's where the game automatically determines if the wall you're placing is at the bottom, middle, or top of your structure, and designs it accordingly. My problem is that it can't be turned off, and the game and I rarely have the same idea of where the bottom of my structure vs. the foundation begins. The large timber triple window only works at the bottom of a structure. If you place it in the middle you don't get a window, you get what looks like a windowed garage door. If you place it at the top it's 3 small peep holes and frankly it looks awful. I love that this feature is in the game, but I think it has a time and place. I think right there in the build edit menu, right next to the color select button, would be a nice place to adjust bottom/mid/top placement if you so choose.

#

Frontieirs: Serious settlement flaws... [Bug]

I have figured out some serious flaws in the settlement systems in regards to productivity, maintenance, debt and re-payment.

I hope noone minds if I get a bit... mathy...

My current S-Class settlement has the following numbers at this point in time:

524,371 Productivity

146,870 Maintenance

Which leads to a...

377,501 Surplus

Those numbers are DAILY. I currently have a ...

193,450 Debt

If you take those numbers at face value, that means I should be able to repay the 193K debt in 12.3 hours. This is NOT the case though. (Where the extra $ is going... is anyone's guess)

If you look at the rate the Debt number is decreasing... I timed it over 5 minutes and it ended up averaging 15 per minute. At that rate (193540/15)=12902 minutes or just under 9 days.

Of course that's assuming I don't change any of the existing numbers.

I'm not even convinced that increasing the 377K surplus number even effects the debt repayment rate. I currently have a second marketplace being built which should increase my surplus number. Once that happens, I'll re-time the payment rate and see if it changes from the current 15.

I suspect the repayment rate is FIXED and is not effected at all by the amount of daily surplus funds you have.

I'll edit this with the results in a few hours once the final stage of my second marketplace is finished.

#

Best Way To Get Aronium? Along With Recipes? [Question]

Soooo my landing pad for the settlement needs 3 Aronium and I have 1 with no recipe for it.

Is it possible getting this from trade terminals? I just haven't seen any yet (haven't looked at many but don't want to continue to look if it won't be there).

That leads to best way to get missing recipes so I can avoid this in the future. Is it still best to use one of the maps to find the building (can't remember which one) and get them one at a time?

Thanks for any guidance.

How to Fix NMS Performance (Fix Stuttering Once And For All) [Information]

So I've been trying to fix no man's sky stuttering for a long long time now. Probably about 4-5 months of constant poking around and tinkering. I have a Ryzen 5 2600, gtx 1660, 16 gb (3200mhz) ram (the game is installed on an NVME SSD). I don't have amazing specs, but certainly should be capable holding itself in NMS (with some settings turned down). Well, I have stuttering (especially on planets walking around as stuff is loading in). I have finally found the fix for you folks. Here we go.

First, go into your NMS directory > Binaries > Settings > TKGRAPHICSSETTINGS

Second, open task manager and see how many logical processors you have in your CPU (I have a ryzen 5 2600, so I have 12).

Third, in your TKGRAPHICSSETTINGS, change NumHighThreads to ONE LESS THAN YOUR LOGICAL PROCESSORS IN YOUR CPU.

Fourth, in the same file, change NumLowThreads to 1.

Note: you can try subtracting 1 from NumHighThreads (performance may vary).

Then set that file to read only by right clicking.

We are not done there! That fix alone did not completely fix my issues. The next step would be to (and you guys wont like to hear it) is to overclock your GPU, CPU, and RAM (CPU and RAM is the most important here). (WARNING, DO THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK)

I have a Ryzen 5 2600. To eliminate stuttering and lagging, I overclock to 4.1ghz 1.425 volts. DO NOT JUST COPY PASTE THESE SETTINGS. Please do some time and researching your CPU to see if it's overclock-able and to what degree.

I have 16 GB of 3200mhz ram, and I am overclocking it to 3400mhz. I can't go any higher without crashing.

I have a gtx 1660. I overclock +160 on the core clock and +960 on the memory clock.

I am sharing these overclock settings so you have an idea of what I was able to achieve, not for you to copy paste.

I am sharing this so that you guys can play NMS and...

What do you name your Frigates? [Discussion]

Best FIX in Frontiers Update [Build]

I don´t know how many people this affected, but complex bases (nearing 3k base parts) used to have the following issues:

-Items popping in and out of existence

-Flickering lights

-Falling through floors when running inside your base, or crashing into invisible walls when using the jetpack

All this has been fixed in the latest update, enabling big bases which were, otherwise, impossible to use. This meant the world to me. I enjoy building a lot, and my bases tend to be quite big. The only limitation now is the 3k parts limit in order to upload bases to the server. I don´t know if the hard 20k limit on total base parts for each save is still within the game files.

This has enabled me to finish my latest base, and I LOVE IT!. I am now building a new base with the new parts on a frozen planet that is simply breathtaking.

I couldn´t care less for the settlements, but I am hyped for expedition 3 and the new...

Sean, give us 16, the card game [Suggestion]

This is actually an idea that's a part of this post here where I pitched multiple ideas, but this one is my personal favorite, so I decided to give it a shorter, solo post.

16 is a No Man's Sky themed version of 21. The highest value card is 7. Face cards count as 7 and K, Q, & J, are replaced with G, V, & K (Gel, Korvax & Vy'Keen). The Ace Card is replaced with the Atlas Card and can be played as a 1 or 9.

The game would play just like 21. Draw cards to get as close to 16 as possible without going over. Winner is the player who got the closest to 16 without going over.

There would be tables placed at the Space Anomaly and Space Stations to play this on with strangers and friends. You can even place the tables in your own base.

I also had the idea of being able to bet Units or Nanites on games, but I think that'd impact the game's user rating, so that probably wouldn't happen.

Settlement Bug [Bug]

Is anyone else having this bug where it says a settlement belongs to another player? I found one that said so, so I went out of my way to discover my own system, and ensure it was first contact with my planet of choice, found the settlement but it says it belongs to another player. How?

#

Jobs/Player Economy [Suggestion]

So it would be awesome if they'd let us create a Player Economy. Like have a used ship lot. Be able to hire other players to build you a base. Other players in the supply chain for both. Etc. Then I'd definitely ignore the real world when I'm not a work, making real money.

How to find a settlement not taken by other players? [Question]

Not sure if this is a glitch or bad luck on my side. I've flown to about a dozen different settlements by now. The first one that the quest sent me to and where I fought the sentinels did have X population, good and bad factors etc, but it was taken by another player. So I flew up to the space station, bought a couple of maps, went to a new one. Every single one after the first says 0 populations, 0 this and that, belongs to other player, and the only option I have is to report an inappropriate name. All the systems I went to were "first contact", which I always assumed meant no other player had set foot there.

So, glitch or bad luck? Thanks in advance!

How can "old west" concepts be used to develop future gameplay in NMS Frontiers? [Discussion Frontiers]

NMS Frontiers seems inspired by old American Western frontier towns. Or, possibly Sean's experiences growing up in the Outback of Australia.

How can "old west" concepts be used to develop future gameplay in NMS Frontiers?

  • Wild West towns are organzied about the railroad and stagecoaches.

  • In settlement towns mining often plays a role. Ranching as well. Maybe a bit of farming.

  • Saloon is dominant location. Bank, Doctor, Barber, Blacksmith, Land Claims Office, Jailhouse, Hotel. Postal and Newspaper Office. Chapels.

  • Rule of law is lax, vice is rampant. Gambling, card games, bounty hunters. Rough Justice.

  • Mud and horses. Ghost towns, abandoned mines.

  • Wilderness trappers and big game hunters. Campfires.

  • Outlaw gangs and Bank vault robbers.

  • Six shooters. Rifles. Dynamite.

Settlement Timers: Great for Starting a New Game! [Discussion]

So when Frontiers dropped I began to see a lot of people complaining about the timers for building out your Settlements. However. If you’re starting a new save (which I did) and playing from the beginning it’s actually pretty nice. Just start whatever build then go do other mission quest in the mean time. Doesn’t really seem like that big of a deal to be honest. I suppose unless you live in China and are limited to that one hour of game play lol.

Base computer sells for 5 salvaged data? [Question]

I placed a base computer and picked it up, and on the area where it would normally say the units it sells for, it says 5 salvaged data modules. But when i sell it it says 5 units. Can someone explain is this a glitch or is it true?(also i tried selling it to most people)

#

Increasing the building component limits [Discussion]

Will they ever increase or get rid of building component limits of 20k per save? I thought 20k was a lot, but in a span of a month I reached 20k so fast. I don’t want to keep making new accounts just to be able to continue building. (One thing I know for sure is you can’t see your other saves builds if you switch to another save even if it’s same mode and uploaded).

Settlement tips? [Question]

Hi guys! So I'm back in no mans sky after a long break, maybe a year, has anyone got any good tips for what kind of planet would be best to find a settlement? Can you find settlements on any planet? And how do you find them? Thank you guys! See you out there! Its lonely out there in space...

Settlement development [Question]

After making 2 full buildings my settlement has just stopped asking me to build anything and isn’t giving me any options to build anything. There aren’t any settler disputes or anything like that either and my settlement is still in debt, do I just need to wait it out or is something wrong?

#

Unable to proceed in mission, and unable to restart said mission, just in general, issues with missions [Bug]

So.... some short backstory.. When I began this save game about 40 hours ago, i created a base, the first one in fact, and left it as soon as it was possible. I then warped, went though some black holes till I were in the other end of the Elucid galaxy, build another base there, and got to the "base computer archives" missions where i noticed the waypoint were faaaaaaar away, in fact, all the way back at my first base. I teleported back to the old base, continued the mission there, removed the base, the mission doesn't realize that i have another base, and i cant reset/restart it as it seems.

Then when i got around to build the construction overseer station, and staff to it, i then had to get the same for the science station. I didn't, and thought it could wait, so i, once again, got faaar away and left the mission alone till i felt like it.

Further down the line i found a better planet for my base, and moved it there which in hindsight was a bad idea, as it totally broke that mission.

I still have the "Ghost in the machine", "scientific research" and "expanding the base" missions where i need to hire a Korvax scientist to proceed (that waypoint btw is still in the other end of the galaxy) :/

so i go there and find a floating waypoint in the middle of nowhere in space, there's nothing there, and no way to interact with the waypoint.

Dont mind the bad quality ;p obs being annoying

So i can't complete that mission, which means i can't proceed in the main missions, and im unable to restart the mission as it to me seems that feature was removed sometime in the past 7 months as it worked back then...

another seemingly borked mission is the "space anomaly, beyond the System?" mission. I'm at "search for Artemis & the mysterious Apollo"...

Stuck: Place 3rd beacon to triangulate Artemis [Bug]

I am stuck on a mission where I need to place beacons to triangulate the position of Artemis. I have placed the first two beacons successfully. But the third one I can't figure out.

The quest marker lead me to a building that is indicated as a suitable location. I went inside and the the quest marker led me to interact with a terminal inside. I interacted with the terminal and it asked me to finish a code. I had three option to choose from. I chose the wrong option I think.

But after that I haven't able to move forward with the quest. I've tried placing my beacon inside the building/outside the building. I tried leaving the system and coming back. I tired the beacon on another planet in the same system and that didn't work either.

When I place the beacon I am no longer getting the triangulate position option. Does anyone know how I can get past this?

Cannot Enter Ancient Monument [Bug]

Hello,

So I have a mission that takes me to an ancient monument but the red indicator is inside the monument at the bottom and has no entrance on the top, bottom, and sides to the place with the indicator. How do I get to it, if possible, or if it can get fixed? And it’s underwater.

Question about the state of space-gameplay in NMS [Question]

I have owned NMS for quite a while but haven't had time or the right PC to commit to playing it seriously. I would like to know though, as I am a fan of space games, how much gameplay is actually space based?

I swear 99% of footage I see from NMS is planetary stuff, which is great, but what about space, space sim gameplay?

Like, trading, cargo shipping, asteroid mining, space combat, space station building maybe? Do I find this in NMS?

Legacy structures question [Question]

Hi everyone,

Is there a way to get the legacy structures on new accounts? I made a new account and noticed they aren’t there anymore. Black concrete parts are my favorite, it goes with the theme of all of my structures, now I have these too clear stone structures that don’t go well with my theme.

Do settlement negative modifiers ever go away? [Question]

I got a nice planet, but the only settlement my map will pick up (no matter where I am on the planet) is one with 3% happiness and 5 negative happiness modifiers. (Thought police, dancing is banned, haunted, etc.) as my settlement grows, do these negative modifiers go away?

#

Need general advice on dealing with Sentinels & weapon upgrades [Question]

I am 80 hours in, but playing kind of lazy. I am exploring and I have barely made progress in the campaign. The game is pretty chill but I could use some advice on how to avoid or kill Sentinels.

So far, fighting Sentinels seems to be like getting wanted stars in GTA. They just keep coming in stronger varieties and you are going to lose the fight eventually if you can't run away. Is that the game's intent or is that just how it feels because my weapons and shields aren't good enough? For example, I see videos of people fighting walkers, but I can't beat a couple of the dogs... I've never lived long enough to make a walker spawn.

Often the game will give me coordinates to ruins, and exploring the ruins will give me the opportunity to take 1 gravitino ball. If I do that, of course Sentinels appear. If I haul ass into space, they follow me and I have to do a time consuming dog fight and run and hide in the space station, because they will apparently spawn infinitely if I stay in space. That is not worth 40k units for one gravitino ball. Are those ruins just not worth my time or is there something I am missing with how to deal with the Sentinels that appear when I grab the ball?

And lastly, what kind of weapons should I use? I saw a lot of posts saying "stick with the boltcaster" but after a couple of upgrades it still sucks. It is OK for the level 1 Sentinel drones, but anything tougher is very hard to kill.

Thx if you have any tips for me!

Safe travels o7

Is there only one supply grid in a base? (or, why aren't my gas extractors extracting?) [Question]

I founded a base near my first settlement that has a power hotspot, a mineral hotspot, and two gas hotspots (though I had to expand my base to 800u away to get the second one). The mineral is working fine, but the gas extractors aren't doing anything

The power grid is working fine (see below screenshots for the furthest battery and extractor, at the 800u away location).

The mineral hotspot is powered and feeding into the daisy-chained depots to be able to harvest at my settlement. However, the two gas extractors aren't doing anything. This is my first time using them, but I set them up exactly like the mineral one, so what did I do wrong?

They're on the power grid (the battery in that screenshot is hooked off the extractor, so it must be on the grid).

They're daisy-chained with their own supply depot lines. Do I need to have all the supply depots on the same network? This is my first base with more than one extractor, and the mineral one was set up first (it's closest to the power farm). Otherwise, I don't know why my gas extractors refuse to do anything

One of the extractors, with power and supply lines

Detail view of extractor, Processing but at 0 per hour and 0/0 storage is full

Question on settlements [Question]

Hello travelers. I am about to finish the main story line and I’m starting to look for places to settle down. I found a settlement on a paradise planet where I plan on building my main base. Is the only way to increase productivity and/or make changes to your settlement through building new buildings from the overseer building?

For example: if a settlement does not allow pets, would building the proper buildings change this? Or is there another way to change this?

#

A pre-origins update story [Information]

So before the origins update I lived on the planet Tamin Sigma in the Gauxes system of the Euclid galaxy, I had been using the nearby cold, radioactive, and hot planets for various resources but there was a toxic planet I had yet to explore! so I landed and it was not that bad honestly but the first creatures that spawned were these LITTLE mole like men running around! they were ADORABLE! and I wanted to tame one but this was before the companions update, anyway these little guys were about the size of a sentinel drone but when the origins update hit they went extinct man what a waste! but they were like modern day protogek in their behavior so that leads me to believe that they added protogek like creatures BEFORE the update! You can choose to believe me or not but I know what I saw and I think I have a screenshot on my xbox somewhere so I might leave a link to that!

#

Question about ship values. [Question]

So I find a salvage ship. Lets say when I compare the new ship to mine, it tells me that the salvage ship is worth 10m. I claim ship and fix it enough to fly. When I use my new salvage ship (still with damaged slots) I get a trade in value of say 2m.

Do I have to repair the ship completely to get the full ship value available for trade-in?

#

Rare underground fauna [Question]

Sorry if this is a popular question but I can't find my last fauna, it's a rare /underground/ always active fauna and I've spent atleast 2 hours in caves whether it's near a settlement or not and I just can't find it! Is this bugged by any chance? Done everything I can think of and they just don't seem to appear

#

Is there a list of buildings you've constructed in your settlement? [Question]

I only have a handful now, but eventually we'll lose track of all of the different buildings we've constructed. It seems like once you build them, they impact the productivity/happiness but otherwise aren't listed anywhere, details/stats are not available anywhere, they are basically like any other structure in your settlement. A list would be really good to have as we expand.

Am I missing something or is this just not implemented yet?

#

Settlement Production vs. Satisfaction [Discussion]

I was lucky and found a settlement where productivity was higher than maintenance costs from the start. Win 110 AI every 20 hours :-) lol, and 9 dirt every 7 hours. Satisfaction is 23%. Now I should make a decision to impose a tax on Frost Crystal or not. If not, productivity would drop below maintenance costs and the settlement would no longer make a profit and I would build up debt. With the introduction of the tax, satisfaction drops by 2%. Would you go into debt to maintain satisfaction in the hope that a next task will restore the positive balance between income and costs, or should I disappoint my citizens?

#

“Other Player’s Settlement” on a planet I just discovered? [Question]

To start with, I am coming back to NMS after a long absence for the Frontiers update, but I did have a fairamount of previous experience. My first settlement is on a fiery planet with very boring animals, and after seeing others’ settlements on paradise planets, I have to admit I got jealous. So, for hours, I have been flying around, being kind of picky, looking for paradise, or verdant, or temperate planets. Three times in a row now, I have had first contact in a system, discovered an unmapped planet, used a settlement search map from the cartographer, only to find settlements that are already owned and named. How are these settlements already claimed if I am first contact in the systems?

#

Will there ever be a new race to be added? [Discussion]

I feel the game lacks diversity in aliens. At most the Gek brings the most diversity since they are truly random in terms of looks but the other two are mainly recolors. Maybe in a future update add a few more races and even a mixed dominant life form system? If the systems arent pre determined, this would be excellent since the news one can be implemented.

#

Help! [Question]

I love this game. I watch videos and streams of people playing, I read all the patch notes and I’m excited when every new update comes out.

But…I just can’t get into it when I play for some reason. I get kind of bored and disengaged after an hour or so. Maybe it’s because I feel aimless and don’t know what to do next. And the inventory management gives me a headache (I tend to collect everything because I think I’ll need it at some point).

Any tips on how to get past this and start enjoying it?

"Soon" [Question]

I've come to despise that word, anyone got a dream to sell me about when I can expect 3.63 on consoles, or why it still isn't available several hours after announcement?

Supply Depot filling without supply pipe connected? [Question]

I'm doing my 3rd AI farm storage expansion (why am i like this?) and noticed that silos I'm placing are connecting to the network before I've even hooked up any supply pipes. Is there a proximity connection mechanic? Couldn't find any info online and wanted to learn more about this. Could save a ton of materials for these large farms, but I'm not sure if I can trust it yet (especially for this underground depot that will be a huge pain to get to later).

Extending base radius... Still possible? [Question]

I tried creating a new base, with hotspots that were outside the starting base radius. We weren't able to build our way out to the hotspots like we've done before. We seem to have hit a hard 300u radius rather than shoving the border out.

Did the patch break this, or...?

#

Other users' discoveries [Discussion]

I came across a system, previously discovered by another player. I can't rename the system or planets... assuming because I didn't "discover" them.

If I'm able to discover save points, creatures, plants, minerals etc...does that mean the other player just didn't get around to it, or does every player have the opportunity to make those discoveries?

Has anyone else ran into another players' system, planet, settlement etc without coordination? Or another player themselves?

Thank you

Expedition 3 date possibly leaked. [Information]

I highly doubt it, but came across something that gets my hopes up.

Scrolling through the Assistant for No man's sky app and look through the expeditions tab. Click on the first 2 expeditions and it shows all the rewards and badges ect. Click on season 3 and something popsup saying it is available in 12 days.

I doubt the bugs will even be fixed by then so I doubt it's anything at all.

Millions updates but still mission/game breaking bugs in not even 5 hours playtime and you cant even effing restart/cancel them without wasting tons of time too warping too like 3 next systems so you can cancel it.( great gaming expierence) (jesus christ add a cancel/restart option) [Suggestion]

3 warps later and i still dont get the message that i can cancel this mission. The reason i want too cancel this mission is because a bug wich stops me from contiuene doing the mission. I must say no man sky is a great gaming expierence! i just wasted half and hour too gather ressources and stuff too warp too the next systems because adding a function too simply restart/cancel missions is too much asked for right? And yes its a very salty post but its the damn truth and i just wasted so much time and even 3 system warps i still dont get the damn message too cancel the mission.great now i need too gather and waste tons of materials so i can play the main story again .

Supply Pipe Draw Distance [Bug]

I play on max settings with ultra base distance... but after frontiers I noticed my suspension base no longer loads the "cables" unless I'm right next to them. I used supply pipes (to great effect) to make it look suspended in a canyon.

Anyone else notice this? Is there a way to bump the draw distance back up, besides the settings in the graphics menu?

Bug,or i am lost [Question]

Placing a base computer down near my settlement [Question]

I was searching around for a settlement on a paradise planet after becoming dissatisfied with the first one I got on a toxic planet that has regular storms. I found a planet that I wanted (PC, Permadeath) that is really beautiful with no aggressive sentinels and infrequent storms. Went and got a chart from the space station and flew back to the planet I wanted and used it. It gave me a settlement on another planet, a parched planet.

Come to find out, this planet isn't so bad and the settlement looks great sitting out in the open desert. The temperature isn't that bad considering it's a desert planet and there are infrequent storms and no aggressive sentinels. I decided to stick with this one.

Now to the issue:

I saw people have been placing bases near their settlements since we can't build within them. I found a nice spot on a small Cliffside overlooking my settlement and placed a base computer down only for it to tell me:

Warning: Universal Archive Search reveals previous base registration. Construct terminal on a new site.

This planet was discovered by me and there are no other discoveries by other travelers or bases here. I haven't tried other spots around the outside of my settlement yet and was really hoping for an answer from the amazing community of travelers in case someone else has found a work around.

Why Doesn't My Settlement Show Up In Any Teleporters? [Question]

So I guess my settlement is kinda advanced as i am out of debt, but it doesnt show up in any teleporters(even when the game mission thing says i can teleport to it directly for fast return), and I have looked everywhere for a purple thing to teleport to but it is never there, so anyone know why?

Can't start Expedition 3 [Bug]

Hey all,

I play on an Xbox one, and have only been playing for the last two or three months. So anyways, I found out with the recent Frontiers update that there's a new expedition, and how to start it, but when I go to the new save screen, the expedition tab just says 'downloading data' and nothing happens. Even after waiting for some time, closing and restarting the game, or hard resetting my Xbox it still sits halfway through the progress bar for downloading data without it doing anything. Any help would be mucho appreciated, cheers in advance

Can't call in starships on any kind of building perimeter? [Discussion]

Anyone else struggle with calling in starships on all manner of building plots? I was even at one of those ancient key sites, it's a huge open and flat area, but I have to call my ship on the hills surrounding it or further away if it's not flat enough. For me it's not actually a huge deal. I can survive everything with my modules. I can walk and jetpack a little further, nbd. It's the newbies I'm worried about though. Remember running for your life to reach the safety of your starship before your life support ran out? That struggle is still real.

NMS PS5 Question: Archaeology Towers, what do I bring to them? [Question]

So when I started a fresh playthrough about 25 hours ago, I was seeing these giant towers, sometimes with a large ball on top.

They were these archaeology buildings where you can drop off artifacts and stuff. I never had anything like that, so I mostly ignored those towers.

I'm not really seeing them anymore in the locations that I've been since, but I don't know what needs to be given to them.

I have these items that seem like they'd go there:

Gek Etchings (Historical Document) Crumbling Partial Skeleton (Ancient Skeleton) Bundle of Crystalline Hatchlings (Biological Sample)

What do you actually do in this game? [Question]

This game has been on the back of my mind since the day it launched and was always a fan of anything space related. But I never got around to check the game out and I'm not so sure anymore if I would actually like the game now. So what do you actually do in this game? Is it just gathering ressources and exploring and base building? Does the game get repetitive over time?

I can't find a settlement [Bug]

I've used about 5 maps or so to find settlements and if it doesn't find one at all, it finds one that somehow a play has already claimed? I'm in my system that I've discovered everything on. I've never seen a single player, not even my buddy I play with has seen it. So how is it showing another players settlement if no has been here? Has anyone seen this as well? Is it a bug? Its annoying because now it keeps showing all these settlements on my planet that don't belong to me. I just want a settlement of my own :(

Freighter Base problems in Frontiers [Bug]

Maybe I'm just dumb but I cannot delete pre-existing base structures so I can place and build storage areas. I still haven't figured out how to place my Fleet command rooms.

Can't do anything now as i need to finish this one to do anything else, but it's just stuck.

Need some faction standing advice [Question]

New player PSA: Don't rob cargo ships until after you get to the part of the campaign where you need to be certain standing with a faction.

So I'm new to the game, and found out recently that I can be a space pirate and rob cargo ships for millions of credits. I did that a lot, and then got to the part of the storyline where I need to be in good standing with the Vy'keen. Turns out, they're the ones I've been robbing this whole time... and now I'm at -157 standing with them. I tried doing the trick where you grab more than one of the same standing mission that are the same goal, but only one tracks at a time so I guess this was patched? At this rate, it's looking like I'll be spending 25-35 hours solely on unfucking this up, so I was wondering if anyone had any faster methods. Starting over would be faster at this point, but my ship and planet bases are pretty cool, and I don't want to lose them.

Artemis Triangulation Glitch [Question]

Hi everyone! I’ve just recently returned to NMS after having not played for a long time. I’ve done several things, including getting the living ship, and decided to do the Artemis story line again on this save to have it out of the way, but it seems I cannot progress any further. I went to the third triangulation position, but it is marked INSIDE an abandoned/infested building. No matter where I place the signal booster, it does not prompt me to triangulate. The mission marker literally leads me to the console in the center of the building. I’m not sure if it’s the game or if I’m doing something wrong.

I can’t seem to find anyone else that has had this problem. Is there any way of restarting/fixing this mission, or am I screwed? I’ve done too much to abandon this play through and don’t want to loose my tech/ships.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Safe travels!

Disappearing starter settlement? [Bug]

Hey guys, I was just working my way through the starter settlement mission in NMS, water tower had over 3hrs left to complete after I deposited some magnetised ferrite. Since I had 3 hours to kill I hopped in my ship and flew to a nearby planet in the same system to collect some salvaged tech modules. While on that planet I got a notification that sentinels were attacking my settlement, and to return and defend it. Herein lies the problem, I flew back to the planet but there is no marker for the settlement on the HUD where there previously was one. If I warp to a different system and open the galaxy map the marker for the settlement is visible on the galaxy map but then when I warp back in the marker disappears. Has anyone got a fix for this or experienced similar?

P.S - I've tried reloads

Super old topic at this point: Finding living ships [Question]

I'll just say thank you so much for answering to begin with if you decide to. Thanks for reading it at least, even if you don't answer.

I already got my first one when the original update released, so no tutorials needed there.

I was just wondering if there were any kind of factors about systems or galaxies that play into the color and style of the ships that spawn. I'm aware of how certain crashed ships are more common in different systems based on the main inhabitants. Do those kinds of things affect color/style of the living ships that spawn in place of the normal crashed ships?

If not, can someone give me a decently reliable way of finding crashed ships that aren't in need of repair by the pilot? I know you can reset the starbirth mission by crashed ships and they'll turn into a specific living ship that was assigned to the same spot.

Community [Discussion]

Hey guys. I don’t have an overly large experience with this game.

But the community is insane. I’ve never experienced something quite like it. Everyone is so nice. As a new interloper, you guys have helped out as much as you can. Whether it be with units, items, salvaged data etc. As a new player, who doesn’t have a clue what’s happening. I appreciate it. It’s making me fall in love with this game even more

༼ つ ◕◕ ༽� You Can Do This Hello Games ༼ つ ◕◕ ༽� [Discussion]

I'm really really trying to be positive. It's a complicated game with complicated interconnected issues. For some reason HG is still a small team, trying to work out insane maths and bugs over a vast amount of code(I assume).

This 3.63 update is still not working for some of us(PC Steam), and hearing about how others are having a grand old time really does suck.

But, HG has never really disappointed all that much in the past with hotfixes and updates, so, I hope you can take some energy from us, hopefully the good energy, and keep cracking at it.

I trust you Hello Games, I really do.

Question about resources on underwater planets [Question]

Hello everyone,

Recently got the game (well played first time since sinking about 10 hours in at launch lol) and I'm trying to figure out some of the mechanics

Recently found a mostly water based planed that u really like, and want to set up a base, but i noticed that the standard resources aren't really available underwater. So, my question is what kinds resources are found underwater and what can you use them for? In general, how do I know if I've found a good water planet for settling?

Hats off to whomever coded the adaptive display resolution settings [Information]

A few days ago my computer monitor died (apparently from a lightning strike). I temporarily moved my system into the living room and connected it to my old TV there. Windows 10 did not have a display setting that worked with that TV, and no other game or app functioned well either - except No Man's sky. NMS ran flawlessly on that big old TV. New monitor came today, and once again NMS detected the new display, did not complain or hiccup at all, and ran flawlessly. I think that's brilliant. Cheers.

Future Update Idea: Current Black Holes should be renamed to Wormholes, and Black Holes should be added as gates to a Nether-type galaxy [Suggestion]

Nether referring to a Minecraft realm (in this case not intended to be a literal hellscape, but simply a dimension which exists in parallel to the “over world” galaxy). This could allow them to address several complaints about the game without altering any of the current galaxy generation or mechanics, in effect offering an extended and more fleshed out end game.

The black hole realm should offer:

More danger: stronger enemies, weaker ship and suit shields, unique environmental hazards (dark matter, entropy, etc.), environments with multiple hazards, and less suit protection

Greater rewards for fine tuned customization: bespoke resources and currencies which could only be earned in this realm, which would be used by players to customize ship parts, freighter parts, weapon customizations (spray, rate, range, etc), exosuit customizations (hazard x = more run speed, jet pack power, etc; all the time rather only during harsh conditions)

More unique planet generation: hello games can continue to experiment with generation parameters without affecting the current galaxies

New ship and multi tool models and parts, mixed in with all current ship part styles, and only available in this realm

A deeper exploration of the lore: the realm from which the sentinels come, and which also holds several lost civilizational ruins as dungeons or refurbished encampment settlements/cities.

Ultimately, the game needs an end-game economy: truly scarce resources that pose a challenging adventure to obtain, and which offer benefits which would be necessary to survive in this realm, along with with more specialized visual and mechanical tool/ship customizations.

I need some help [Question]

Im trying to do the Alone Amidst the Stars quest, but the location I'm supposed to triangulate won't progress the quest. I think it's because there's a random structure there in the way of where I'm supposed to out my beacon. But I have no idea what to do

#

Settlement Chart [Question]

So I found a settlement on a pretty bad planet, but it was my first one and thus, the one the tutorial started on.

I tried getting a chart and going to the planet i wanted, but it ate the map and didnt do anything. After browsing around a bit, i think it was because the tutorial is active for the first settlement, so i started building it up, got the overseers building made.

is there any way to cancel the quest now? i really dont want to be wasting all these materials on a settlement i'm going to abandon anyways. thanks for any infoe

#

Help Exploring? [Question]

I am new to the game first off and loving it. I am in my first star system, and I am not really liking what I am seeing so far from the planets I have to pick from. Is there some way that I can move on to another star system this early on? Or will I have to setup a base first?

I am asking because whenever I go to the galaxy map and mark the next star system in my steps towards the center, nothing shows up on my radar? I have no indication of which way to travel to even get to the next star system at all... Do I have to take a shot in the dark and start traveling in one direction to see if I am heading towards it? Or is there a way for me to easily follow a route to the next star system?

Also it seems like it is extremely far away because I did hyperdrive for about 5 minutes straight and barely moved on the galaxy map.

Thanks in advance!

Interior cuboid flooring? [Question]

I noticed that there is cuboid flooring but I cant use it to make floors inside the rooms, is there any other building piece I can use to create multiple floors?

#

Update Idea Based Off Frontiers So Far [Suggestion]

So as I play Frontiers and messing with the settlement concept I would love to see a Ship Update. Update would include • The ability to build and modify our ships even up to freighters and corvettes • Interiors for bigger starfighters. Some starfighters are massive and I think it’d be cool to have a ship interior like the Razorcrest or Millenium Falcon does. • More interiors for freighters. They seem so massive but you can only explore a small amount. I think ALL of it should be explorable. I think this update would be cool and I’d love to have more of a ship to play with. You could even live in some starfighters with the update. Thoughts?

#

is there something I'm missing? [Question]

been playing Frontier since it came out and I've had the option to build a new building each day but other than that absolutely nothing. No disputes, visitors, sentinel attacks, anything. Also even though my debt's decreasing now, my settlement went from b-tier to c-tier. Did I miss a step?

Do game save files get wiped if I go from Gamepass to steam? [Question]

Thinking about cancelling my Microsoft Gamepass subscription and buying the game on steam, I've got a couple hundred hours into the game now, but I was wandering if the saves transfer over to steam? I can just outright buy it on Microsoft if necessary, but I like keeping all my games in a central location.

Hi all you friendly people. Have what might be a silly question but I've gone round and round trying to find solution. First Xbox one S normal save Euclid Galaxy 3.62 patch.

Nexus mission Stranded lifeform bug? [Question]

Is this mission bugged or am I really going to have to find 20+ communicators before I find one that actually works?

I mean, I got time to kill waiting on my settlement, but this seems excessive.

EDIT: Ofcourse, right after I find a working one, my game decides to crash.

#

PS4/Console Settlement Construction Bug [Bug]

I've noticed that on my construction projects, it always seems to fail the second construction phase. If I'm not mistaken, it takes 3 phases, yet every time I do the second phase, I come back 90 minutes later and it tells me to deposit the same materials for the same thing and THEN it will finish the phase after another 90 minutes. Is anyone else experiencing this issue? If not I guess I'll just reinstall.

#

Insalubrious Dens... [Information]

Y'all.

I built an insalubrious den so my Vy'keen settlement could get their drunk on (and to "improve citizen happiness"). It came with a ByteBeat. You can't interact with it or load up songs or anything but it does crank out the tunes.

I just walked in to find 3 of my warriors dancing. As soon as I got closer they snapped out of it and walked away with the usual grim looks on their faces.

Freaking hysterical. Anybody else caught this NPC behavior yet? I think it's my new favorite action, taking the top spot from the guy who stands on the Space Station galley giving departing ships the go sign...

Paradise planets [Question]

Any tips on where to look for Earth-like planets? I’ve heard they were more common around yellow stars, I’ve found one so far but it’s system is populated by Geks. I’d like a system with a different species for my settlement.

Is it true you can't "power" a habitat made of some or wood? [Question]

So I found my planet, spent ages building my little big mansion, only to find i can't actually power the damn thing as only the cylindrical base parts have a power port.

Whats the point in letting us build however we want and not letting us power the new habitat bases?

I guess I can run wires everywhere but that looks ugly.

How are you guys getting around it? Are you just not using wooden or stone habitats as your main?

Alone Amidst the Stars Main Quest bug. [Bug]

Pretty sure the game as bugged out while trying to triangulate the second point during the quest. It's inside a building but no matter where I place the signal booster it never gives me the option to set that position. Is there something I'm missing?

Playing on PS5.

Thanks.

cant find settlement [Question]

trying to do the settlement quest iv went through 45 black holes and no matter what every single settlement I come across is owned by a player I am using the settlement maps any idea what is going on?????

#

Still can't have more then one settlement? [Question]

I was trying to find a settlement on the same planet as my base using the cartographer charts. It was always finding a settlement on another planet. Today I had some 'luck'. I used a chart on 2 of my planets with bases and found settlements on both planets. But both of them claimed to be another players settlement. One of them had a landing pad for whatever that's worth.

The one with the landing pad was called 'dead town'. The other one didn't have a landing pad and had an actual name 'mare de robeoka'. Both of them had zero pop.

Stuck on Awakenings: Find Us, Hear Us: Can't access mission location (inside a mountain) and can't reset the quest? Now stuck in-home system with no way to get back [Bug]

So I got my hyperdrive and went to my first system. Then the mission location was stuck as you can see: https://www.loom.com/share/d8bb3c30aeb14e1cbff2a11af4873505

I went back to my original system to see if I can reset the mission, but I can't. I tried holding the middle mouse button on the mission and nothing happened.

Since I have no hyperdrive fuel I have no way of going back to the mission system. The teleporter doesn't give me access to the space station in either system. Is there anything I can do or do I have to start from the beginning again?

Issues with crashing on PS4 [Question]

I just downloaded No Mans Sky today and was rather excited to play it. However, I can’t even make it through the tutorial. I’ve tried three times but every time I interact with the spaceship or the portable refinery, the entire game bricks then crashes.

I lose my save every time and have to start over just to crash again. Is this some issue on my end or is this happening for other PlayStation users?

I just discovered that the PS5 No Mans Sky is an extra upgrade download. I've been playing version PS4 all this time... [Information]

So when I got my PS5 I did the data transfer from the PS4 and just assumed that No Mans Sky would update if needed, and it did seem like it was playing fine.

Yesterday I was checking to see if any of the bug fixes were live yet and noticed that there was a PS5 NMS download and now I have the version with the extra controller bits. I did have to do a PS4 to PS5 save file update.

Anyone else having this problem? [Question]

Soo, it would seem that when I place down a base part, say maybe a room, it won't connect to anything else. There's no place for a door to go, even if I place it on the wall there's no way inside.

Pls help

Dedicated Server NMS [Suggestion]

So I believe I may have found a workaround to having a dedicated server of sorts. Although as per research a server can only have 32 players. Therefore, I want to start one of my own. Essentially we set up a dropbox where the person hosting has the save file. The person uploads the save file. The original host can then shut down his/her pc. The next host downloads the save file and it puts it in the roaming folder. And starts the game with that save file. The server is then up and running. Those interested in this venture comment below and we can get something going.

How do I make my base picture appear when teleporting? [Question]

My experience with No Man's Sky [Discussion]

I've been playing the game for about a month now, and I have to say, that it's been a really amazing experience. I was able to finish the main storyline and go off on tangents to go exploring and find some new and interesting planets, systems and galaxies. It's been so amazing. But what blows mind about this game more than all the possible wonder and new adventure, has to be the community. This is one of my most favourite communities to date. Since I've gotten everything I could possibly want for my own character, my focus has shifted towards giving to people within the community, and I have to say, I absolutely love it to bits. I've built tons of bases with some people from all over the world in far and wide countries, and everyone I meet is incredibly special and kind. Haven't met one bad apple in the bunch! Everyone I bump into, is always so kind and friendly and I can immediately feel the hospitality. This game is alive with people. It might be one of the largest games out there, with countless systems to travel to. But getting to interact with all of you fellow Travellers, is absolutely spectacular. You guys make this game come to life and bring a strong sense of closeness when it comes to anything from the wacky dance-offs in the Anomaly, to the kind-hearted comments in the No Man's Sky subreddits. I want to say, from the bottom of my heart... Thank All Of You! You guys make this game way more amazing!

tl/dr You guys make this community rock!

Weapons Research quest bug [Bug]

I'm on the part of Weapons Research (the armorer main questline) where you Destroy Planetary Depots. The original one it pointed me to, I destroyed with my multi-tool and nothing happened. I've been to several different depots and destroyed them since then. I've never used my ship to destroy them at all. On the log, it says my objective is to Destroy Planetary Depots, when it shows in the bottom right it says to Locate a Sentinel Depot. I've been to other planets and destroyed more in the same system. I've also tried joining a friend's multiplayer session and destroying more in his solar system. Nothing is working and the quest won't progress, and as far as I know I can't reset the quest either because deleting the armorer station doesn't work either. At a loss here, anyone else able to resolve this issue?

Main story quest is completely broken. [Bug]

I've been playing NMS on PC for a bit and have really enjoyed it so far. Unfortunately, the Triangulate Your Position mission has been giving me some trouble. The first location works flawlessly but at either the second or third location the signal booster doesn't show the "triangulate position" option.

I've tried putting the booster in the building, outside the building, on top of the building, and nothing works. I've also restarted the mission twice (so 3 attempts overall) and have run into the same issue each time. Any suggestions on how to fix it?
