Settlement charts not locating settlements on planet? [Question]

Is anyone else experiencing this issue? I find a planet I like, I land on it, I activate the settlement chart, and it locates a settlement that is off planet. Even if I go to the settlement to de-locate it and return to the planet, the same problem occurs. I'm going to report this to Zendesk, but I was wondering if people had workarounds for this in the meantime.

Question about expedition save after expedition is over. [Question]

So I've understood that expedition save becomes just a normal save after expedition. Does this mean that I can keep all blueprints and modules I've got during expedition? I am returning player and I have old save but I think expedition save would be quite good start point for new adventure as I already have decent ship and good amount of blueprints and money.

I was wondering this because starting ship has modules that I haven't seen before. Like launch thrusters and warp drive are not like in normal ship.

Movement bug? [Question]

I’m not sure if this is even a bug or if this is the right place to put this. Anyways so I recently purchased no mans sky on steam. I’ve played it prior to this on the series x and never had this problem. So basically any time I move my character they always veer off either left or right, normally left even though I’m not moving my mouse and I’m only holding W down, it’s not anything game breaking but it is quite frustrating to have to fight the game every time I want to move somewhere. I’ve never had this problem on the series x so I’m kind of lost. Any help would be great

Stacking Mineral Extractors [Question]

So I have a 10x10 mineral extractor on an S class Indium mine. I decided to see if I could stack mineral extractors on top of each other and turns out you can. Here’s what I’m not understanding. The extractor I stacked says it’s getting 425/HR while the extractor I stacked it on is only getting 55/HR. Is there a reason for that?

Scavenged my first derelict freighter today [Question]

It was really cool. Fun experience which definitely is worth 5.000.000 units. 10/10 would do again.

I was shocked by the hypnotic eye alien thingy being on the space station in super big, when I was on my way back and lots of ships attacking me. Is that normal? I killed every single one of them.

Also, what is better, giving the data to the guild or to the scrab dealer?

New Expedition not showing up (GOG) [Question]

I completely reinstalled the game but the expedition says complete.

This is on my daughter's Gog version. I have it on steam (we were hoping to play it together) and I had the same issue but reinstalling fixed it. On Gog it didn't.

Freighter base building for dummies? [Question]

I got my first freighter, and I'm a little overwhelmed just walking around the thing (getting lost walking to and from the bridge...) let alone figuring out where to start building on it.

"Well Decorated Berths", increase of population by 4 from an NPC [Information]

I got an NPC visitor, and they offered

"research housing" or something.

It gave me the Settlement Feature "Well Decorated Berths" replacing another positive one "Tritium Extractor"/whatever (increased productivity.)

It made my 56 citizens go up to 60 citizens right away.

The "research housing" part made me wonder if it also opens up building housing buildings which will increase population more? I've not had housing come up as a building yet. Would be weird if it was a one shot deal that just increased population by 4.

I got to admit No Man's Sky popularity on Twitch kind of caught me by surprise [Discussion]

recently I was on Twitch and I was shocked to see that game game was getting 26K Viewers. I had no idea that no man sky was that popular

In the past the game would always get a spike in views when a new update just came out, but usually that would quickly fade a day or 2 after the release but this is on a whole other level

now I have heard some people say that maybe the twitch drops are the reason for its high numbers, but even that does not explain it since no man sky has done the twitch drops before and I defiantly don't remember it getting those kinds of crazy viewer numbers back then

Looking for Some Help with Freighter Base Building [Discussion]

I just started building on my freighter because I wanted a mobile base, I know most people don't prefer it but I thought it would be very cool to create a personal space ship with a bunch of rooms. I'm just struggling with filling the space.

I just started a new save a week ago, and it's been a long time since I've really played the game, so I never really got into base building before. I don't have a ton of parts unlocked yet, but the ones I do either don't snap together or don't place at all.

For example, I unlocked a couple tapestries to decorate the walls, but the freighter doesn't seem to let me place them anywhere. I also unlocked the golden tables and counters, but they don't snap together so I can't make a flush counter.

Am I doing something wrong, or do I have the wrong building parts? Any advice would be very helpful, I am currently very confused and frustrated with this.

NMS seriously needs a planet and biome overhaul. [Suggestion :okglove:]

Hello everybody. I know how much No man's Sky is loved, I am myself a huge fan of the game, but Hello games seriously needs to overhaul the planet generation, with much more dramatic landscapes, with mountain ranges, rivers and waterfalls, various particle effects such as sand, fog, etc.

Lighing bolts look like 2D low res sprites, volcanoes look more like variegated ice cream cones than perilous mountains ejecting lava, animals and plants are still heavily last gen relics...

Starships, freighters and frigates need a lot more detail too, with the possibility to customize them in a really meaningful way, both visually and by the statistics point of view!

I know, my words can be considered disrespectful, probably offensive, but I sincerely hope that hello Games is going to take this ideas in serious consideration. They have done so much for this game and this community, that I really can't believe they aren't planning on some heavy upgrade of the features I mentioned above.

Bug in Calypso Galaxy? [Bug]

Crashing since update [Bug]

In my over 270 hours playing the game on my PS4 before the update I had only ever had two crashes and that was during the first month of playing, since the Frontiers update in one day it crashed over 20 times... There was then a new update the next day crashed six more times in less then an hour,.. then there was a new update again.. today it has crashed over 10 times..

Is anyone else having a ton of crashes like this on PS4 or PC or is it just me? I am genuinely concerned since it's so completely random.. some times it's landing on a ship or planet one time I was harvesting stuff from my farm.. my favorite was honestly while warping to a distant star.. when I restarted my game I was still in transit but dropped me 170,000 light-years further

Anyone willing to take me into a space station with exotic spawns? [Question]

Hey guys!

New player here, I'm about 30 hours into the game. I've been trying to find a space station where exotic ship(s) spawn. Would like to try my hand at scrapping ships. Anyone out there with a couple go-to stations they would be willing to take me into?

I have an economy scanner installed, and I pretty much exclusively go to those (at least at the moment, for my purposes), but haven't had any luck with "exotic" ships. I've found a few nice A classes, but nothing exotic. Not sure if I'm just approaching it wrong?

Thanks all! The NMS community has been awesome! Really! Coming from another space game recently, where I could always expect to be berated or made to feel stupid for asking questions and help. Bunch of sensitive assholes really. My experience with NMS thus far has been nothing but positive. Everyone who has promised to help me has ACTUALLY come through for me. Thank you all for that!

Scrap dealer price reset? [Question]

I thought that once you used the emergency broadcast receiver that the scrap dealer reset his price to five million units, but he still wants ten for another, after I've cleared the derelict and taken care of the captains log etc. Tried a dealer in another system, also ten mill.

Do the prices reset daily? Is there anywhere else I can get more receivers, other than the weekly freebie from Helios?

I can't find the Anomaly, Help! [Question]

So, first off, i have the PS4 version. I've been off and on playing the game since it first came out. I haven't done a lot because well, its a lot to take in and try to figure out. So somewhere i got the Anomaly quest started "The Space Anomaly" is what its called. I apparently have the first 2 objectives fulfilled, "Board the Space Anomaly" and "Collect alien encounterdata for Polo"

But for the life of me cannot figure out how to get back for, "Return to the Space Anomaly' Speak to Nada and Polo onboard the station."

I don't know when i started the quest, months ago at least and i can't find anything in the game pointing me the way.

Ive used 3 Anomaly Detectors in 2 systems, found 2 Jettisoned cargo pods and a Space Synapse.

Im getting tired of shooting asteriods to maybe find another Anomaly Detector...

Expedition Minotaur bug (Xbox series X no prior fixed working) [Bug]

I know there's been plenty of posts about the 5 per planet limit on the minotaur already but none of the work arounds people have come up with are working for me (I've gone far past 1000u away from my base and it still says limit of 5 to spawn, I can't buy paraffinium from the terminal and build the roamer like some people have, I don't have Xbox live so no other bases show up on my base teleporter, even tried disconnecting my console from the internet but other player bases didn't despawn after restarting the game).

What are the benefits of each inventory tab? [Question]

It took me a while to figure out the pros and cons of some of the inventory tabs(on survival mode):

-General-

Pro: Can be used for anything: tech or items

Con: half the stack size of cargo slots

-Technology-

Pro: ??? (I guess cheaper to buy?)

Con: Can only slot Tech

-Cargo-

Pro: Can stack 2x as much as general slots

Con: no Tech allowed

​

As you can see Unless Tech has a pro I am not aware of I am not seeing the benefit of getting those slots until general and cargo are complete.

PS5 Dualsense [Bug]

Just picked the game on ps5 and working through my first expedition. Overall enjoying it but it seems that the dualsense is either very mild or bugged maybe? I figured I'd ask to see what it's "supposed" to feel like. So far taking off in the ship has some resistance or vibration. The mining laser does feel different per mode (blaster feels different than mining) but I don't notice any resistances with it at all, I used to feel when the little pebbles of resources got sucked in. Overall it seems that the controller doesn't really vibrate with doing anything else. I have the game on PC as well and used the Xbox controller and Overall though it doesn't have the same tech I feel like it vibrated a whole lot more often.

Is this how it's supposed to be? Or am I bugged in some way? I've had a few crashes throughout my play and audio seems to be one of the first thing that starts to bug out(becomes very quiet and you can't really hear much until a restart of the game)

As I mentioned not sure whether these are bugs or just how it works on PS5 so any help would be great.

Weekend QS mission. I might do the lottery this week.... [Discussion]

So, whilst waiting for my mineral extraction to finish so I could wrap up the last bits of Exp.3 I jumped on my main save and went to do the weekend QS mission.

Got there and my heart sank. It's that poxy stupid 'help an alien that requires you do dig up 123987624 shitty salvaged data before you find the one that works' one. Man, I hate this. But I want some QS bits and I got time to kill. So I pinch my nose and in I go.

Find the alien. Start my salvage data search. And like all crashed ships, there's one right there about 50u away from the ship. So I go grab that to start with, scan it and POW! I hit it first fucking try!!! I have NEVER had that happen. I think the least I've ever EVER done it like 8.

Of course, NMS still made me work for the next bit with 3 levels of sentinels, but I got it done and collected my QS. In a bit of shock TBH. Expected to be at it ages like usual.

Like I said, with luck like that, I might get an extra lottery ticket this week.... :)

Settlements in theory>Settlements in practice [Discussion]

Settlements should be MY thing. Like, my whole NMS experience once I was done with (most of) the missions was to find great locations, and build. I've built mining sites, hotels , markets, vehicle bays, hospitals, farms, oh the many, many, farms...

But settlements, well they stink.

Besides the obvious, the 3.6 update is STILL bugged, settlements don't provide issues/building options ever, and the crashing, and the building bugs... er, besides all of that, I'm confused as to how it's supposed to work.

Is there a point in the settlement feature in which I can freely build/add base pieces within the settlement location? We can do this now, by building a base computer near enough and so on, but, this "seems"(no word yet on this) to break the settlement from progressing. So, do we ever get to do this without risking the settlement breaking?

Are the settlement buildings supposed to all be crooked? I think the city planner came to work hammered the day they layed out my settlement. Are any of the buildings, at any point, customizable? For instance, if I'd rather have a door there, instead of a wall, could I swap out a portion of my wall for another type that I own? I'd like to do that in my settlement.

​

At my first settlement, on an unpleasant planet, I built an overseers office only, found a better one and abandoned the first one, but, this bugged my game, so, I started building at settlement 2, like I talked about above, by placing a base computer nearby and building "around" the existing settlement. I had a bit built actually, and decided to run a test. At this settlement, I had not completed any missions, other than building the overseers office because after 4 days of being there, nothing else was ever offered. So I didn't mind to much trying to find ANOTHER settlement, which I did.

I claimed it and now I have a settlement that I am trying...

Maximum Starship Inventory? [Question]

So I’ve just purchased an S class starship, and the inventory is only 19. Before I spend my storage augmentations on it, I want clarification on something-

The max slots is 48, and they are all within a grayed out box. Inside this maximum sized box, is a smaller white box containing my 19 inventory slots.

Can I expand beyond the smaller white inventory box, or am I limited to this size?

I ask because I’ve also got another ship I’ve tried to upgrade, but the last row of inventory is outside the white box and it won’t let me add more. This ship is A class.

However my current main, also an A class, was able to upgrade to full 48 slots.

So I figured if I deleted my old base, I'd be able to build a new one on the same planet. This was not the case as now I still cannot build one. Any idea if this is intended or a bug?

How to switch the weapon to the plasma in VR? [Question]

I see the Plasma ball icon on the far right behind the Multi-tool, but when I click on it the menu goes away, instead of switching to it or at least show me a message telling me what's going on.

Other weapons show me the option to reload in the same place, when I click on it, it does react in the expected way. Is this one of those things that don't work in VR?

New Player - How do I keep radiation out of my base? [Question]

I just started playing for the first time and I started on the newest community expedition. Is there something I don't know about to stop the radiation from getting into my base? I've tried building 1x1, 2x2, and 3x3 simple cube bases. I've tried using floor tiles and roof tiles as my roof. I've tried making my base two stories. I still get hit with radiation in my base. I've rebuilt my base 5 times now. What is the trick to keeping radiation out?

Extreme storms bug? [Discussion]

I have about 10 hours and am getting extreme storms every 5-10 minutes on every planet I have visited. Around 5 or 6 planets so far. I dig a hole or sit in my ship for 5 minutes not able to do anything. It completely ruins the fun I am having is adding nothing interesting. It's just incredibly annoying at this point. The game save I loaded says it is on "Normal". It just feels like the game is just saying "Ok, you need to take a 5 minute break, now". I'm currently in a 6 ft hole right now as I'm typing this not able to do anything. Am I missing something?

Even the planet my wife took me to where she built her base and has never experienced a storm for over 40 hours, I am having the storms every 5 to 10 minutes and on her screen she has no storm. I lam using a save I had from one year ago. I'm wondering if I needed to create a new save?

Expedition 3's Rendezvous Points Highlight the "Crooked View on Moons" Bug [Bug]

Kind of happy about this. I've been submitting zendesk reports about this ever since Beyond broke it. Now everyone gets to see and experience it, and with its worst effects. Maybe now it will finally be patched.

What the Crooked View on Moons bug is that every structure on a moon appears crooked. Depending where you are on the moon it's either subtly crooked or blatantly crooked. It's actually the player's camera view that's crooked though. Look at the floor and then look at the horizon. They should be parallel. They're not.

The first Rendezvous point is at a Planetary Archive. You can see the bug pretty good here. But the second Rendezvous is at a section of the moon where the bug is at it's worst. You're going to feel like you're falling off the moon, the view is that crooked.

I'm praying to Atlas this is finally noticed and patched.

Has the unlimited LS system changed? [Question]

When I got my first LS (pre frontiers) the system shown in Khraze's videos (bird, bird, whale, whale, sunset, sunset, balloon, rocket, rocket, diplo, ship, balloon) had a space station and you'd zip out into the system, get an egg, pulse back and usually get an egg on the way, then repeat.

Now it goes to a system with no space station and I've only managed to get one upgrade, which is about the same as any normal system.

Settlement decision menu bugged? [Bug]

I was playing the game earlier today and my settlement was behaving normally. I got a building decision and was able to choose which building, put in the materials up through the final step, saved and logged off.

I also got a resident dispute earlier that I was able to resolve.

Logged in just now, after a few hours offline. It gave me notice that the previous building is complete and a new building decision is available.

But when I interact with the overseer computer and choose the building decision, it opens the decision menu and immediately closes it (very similar to what freighter menus were doing just after the update last week).

Is anyone else seeing this tonight? Like I said, it was behaving fine a few hours ago. I'm on PS4 Pro and there's been no update or anything in the few hours I was offline.

I've tried: Reloading a manual save Quitting and restarting the game Going to the Anomaly and teleporting to my settlement Went to my freighter (confirmed it is NOT having the same issue) then teleported to my base near my Settlement

Hello Games has removed the flat islands and weird cut terrain near water, making terrain less diverse. (This is why some islands are missing) [Information]

I've noticed some people reported that their islands they've build their base on has vanished, and this made me worried about something and needed to check the game... I now know why the flat islands are gone. It's because they got rid of that weird (the good kind of weird) terrain that generates flat islands, and sometimes cut through the ground near water. This is a special kind of terrain that spawns in and around water on settlement star systems.

This terrain usually can be really cool as it can create really cool islands, sometimes half or moon shaped, and near water there can be some really cool walls and more caves. I really liked this terrain because it was really wacky at times, but now it's all gone thus those islands are gone and that some ground is has buried some areas.

​

Examples:

https://i.imgur.com/LhVFPmi.jpg

https://i.imgur.com/hvmyam4.jpg

https://i.imgur.com/tITBy7F.jpg

In those examples, those interesting terrains are the same kind of thing they removed, thus all the islands that were generally flat (except for any actual natural ones) are gone I think. I am hoping they bring this back because I always wished they could bring back the crazy terrain they used to have, and this terrain was really cool even though it's "weird" looking at times.

Settlement help please! [Question]

So my settlement still seems bugged, but now I don't know if it's just me..I've tried to look up guides but can't find exactly what I'm after to figure out whether it's a bug or me being an idiot.

So first settlement I did, I got to the point where I build the overseers office and make the first decision and decided to build something (I think), but didn't build it. This is the current state the mission seems to be stuck in in the Log.

I decided I didn't want that settlement and chose another one. I get to the same point of building the overseers office but when that is done I can't make my first settlement decision, and the mission is still the same in that I need to find the place to build the first building.

I've changed settlements three times since, last time today after downloading the latest update and it's always the same. I can't seem to progress at all and I can't seem to reset the mission in the Log (thought that might fix it).

My question is, is anyone else experiencing this still? Or maybe I just need to find where to build this first building everytime and I'm just being blind? But I figure it should be an icon on the mini map and every new settlement I've made I've searched high and low for a "construction point" but to no avail...

Any help or anyone else experiencing the same thing so I know I'm not being an idiot and just have to wait for a fix would be appreciated!

Is a Living Ship viable to use over a regular ship? [Discussion]

I got my own Living Ship after days of gathering the required parts, beating the main stories and getting the portal glyphs to go finish it off. I tried it put and it certainly seems nice as an S-class ship can be. But then I realized it had so few technologies for it, and the regular technologies and upgrades don't go with it. Apparently, you get upgrades at random by pulsing around and hope for the best. So as nice as it is, I can't help but feel it's going to not be as good as my A-class that has all the different options and upgrades I already gave it. But I worked hard on getting this Living Ship that it would feel like a waste to leave it to rot on my freighter, but frustrating that I can't easily upgrade it.

Building complexity for dummies: post frontiers [Question]

(URGENT PLEA Do not link me to outdated wiki’s on this subject - please & thank you) I’m on PS4 and limited to the new building update patches.

Loving all of these new building pieces but I always seem to hit a glitchy performance ceiling just when I start to decorate my spaces.

Does anyone know how to calculate your overall build budget? Would love a visual indicator (like fallout 4, FO76, etc.) showing me a bar of used / free space.

Does anyone know specific “budget weights” for new wall pieces? I imagine the doors cost more budget as they now have built in animated doors.

In FO76 farmable plants take an INCREDIBLE amount of build budget because of growth animations and inventory products. I imagine all of the farmable plants and any of the animated decorative plants/deco tech items have a similar cost on budget.

[Suggestion] Anything discovered by another player should be automatically known to all other players when they enter an explored system. [Discussion]

[Suggestion] Anything discovered by another player should be automatically known to all other players when they enter an explored system.

artofdadel put in some work and uploaded discoveries. I suggest we be able to see all the uploads.

This would include every planet, fauna, flora, mineral, and waypoint discovered and uploaded by another player, while obviously anything that other players haven't yet touched can still be discovered and named by you.

Maybe it's just me, but I find myself disappointed when I've entered a system teeming with communication modules and bases, only to still have to tediously scan through the fauna, flora and minerals just so my computer can then tell me "Oh yeah, I already knew that, it's called McFartface by xXx_SLaYeR_xXx." I wanna know if it's McFartface right off the bat, because that's hilarious and I feel like I'm missing out on some great community because I just don't want to spend all that time scanning everything.

If another player has already discovered this specimen and named it, then uploaded it, what's the point of uploading if my player can't download that once they arrive? I think I would actually use my scanner with a bit of joy on these already-explored worlds so I can see all the names of everything without having to wait each time.

It's small, it's minor, honestly it's so miniscule it's probably not even worth the discussion. It's a statement to the quality of the game that this is my biggest gripe currently. What do you think?

Swapping Between Owned Multi Tools Removing Mods/Upgrades [Bug]

When swapping between my 3 multi tools, I'll lose the most newly installed modifications/upgrades unless I save and reload before doing it. It just literally eats my materials and gives me nothing back.

I also had it happen with multi-tool slot expansions. Erased 500k Units of upgrades after swapping between Multi Tools prior to saving and reloading. It seems fine after a save/load but even if I accidentally hit the swap button, bringing up the same weapon, it'll erase any mod I've installed before doing that save/load work around.

I haven't seen any post, or any google search about it, so now I'm wondering if I'm doing something wrong. Is there a better work around than a save/load? It's not that inconvenient as I don't upgrade my tools that often, but when I forget I feel really stupid about losing the materials.

(2) Teleporter option to Space Station is greyed out - I figure my ship must still be at the station, but I can't teleport there. I see my base, my friend's base, that's it.

(3) My camera view is stuck in first-person mode - This is just the final annoyance. I select third-person mode and it zooms out but then snaps right back into first-person.

I've restarted, re-loaded, tried solo mode, and multiplayer. In all cases, the same.

Anyone have similar problems or suggestions what I could try?

How to delete base with an inaccessible base computer? [Question]

So I built a base computer at one of those "colossal archive buildings" that were added in the Origins update, but inside of the structure, in a spot that was easy to clip into at the time. Well now I can't clip into that exact spot anymore, there's literally no way to access that computer. Is there an alternative way to delete that base computer? Or am I just stuck with it now?

Base hazard protection disappearing?, it may be due to this bug. [Information]

There is glitch in the building system which is caused by seeing what a wall piece looks like above or below an already built wall in the new building items that change appearance when built above or below. What happens is you see a preview of what the wall turns into, however if you don’t build it or decide you don’t like it etc it will remove the currently built wall, however it’s still visible but you can completely walk through it. This causes your base to lose its hazard protection. This has happened to me in perma death and normal mode.

Newish to the game. Any idea if there might be such additions in the future? Seems like for such a large game the things you interact with the most regularly should be more customizable to make their interactions more enjoyable.

​

Character customization (Helmet/armor/backpack stickers and decals)

Multiple cockpit variations for each ship type

Ship customization (physical parts and paint/decals)

Vehicle customization

We're Interlopers, Actually [Meta]

I saw a fun point of discussion this week: are we human beings or human doings?

Sean felt it appropriate to retweet that post. I understand the appeal in letting your fanbase coddle you.

I still don't believe the most appropriate time to be dismissive of what players want out of the experience is while it remains as comprehensively broken for as many of us as it is.

I don't know that reposting picturesque screenshots is a replacement for being transparent about the utter state this thing's in right now. It's certainly no replacement for talking about where we're being taken next.

I'll engage with the concept now.

It's hard to argue we're human beings given every mechanical empowerment that would allow us to become or be what we want falls so short.

What does it mean to be an overseer? What does it mean to be an explorer? What does it mean to be a mercenary?

Without performing a degree of roleplay or squinting, every variation of those questions lacks a compelling answer. Or at the very least the game does not give you the tools to answer those questions in interesting ways.

It mostly seems to me that we engage with the DATED text adventure gameplay loop from a slightly different menu.

The system in it's current state doesn't allow for the compelling expression of agency that makes a being be.

It's just as hard to argue we're human doings given that half the things we're supposed to be able to do in this game are either broken or insultingly primitive.

It's hardest to argue that this shit ain't broken. I'm sure there will be attempts given the tendency to apologia in this sub, so in dedication to Crowbcat, I'm preparing a supercut of every feature in this game that still doesn't work as it should.

Not things I think should be in the game such as wielding multitools while mounted on companions, I mean features that do not work as even Hello Games...

Any way to snap Depot and Extractors? [Question]

I'm really annoyed about having to manually line up my depots and extractors. I saw somewhere you can stack them up on the same spot but I don't like it at all neither. I would rather like to see all of them nicely laid out. Is there any base building glitch or even a mod that can help me snap those buildings in a regular pattern?

On top of my mind I was thinking that since these building snap to the electric grid, if I could have an object that snaps to tiles and has a electric input, you could snap a grid to the tiles using those objects and and then remove them and build the extractors snapping to the grid. Problem is all components with an electric input that I know of don't snap to tiles.

Right now my only plan is to build a big structure around them to hide the uglyness :)

Sometimes I do wonder if gamers would have ever truly embraced Sean Murray original vision for No Man's Sky [Discussion]

Imagine an alternate reailty where the original launch went well and all the promised features were in the game on day 1

I can't shake the feeling that No Man's Sky would still be a very polarizing game. No Man's Sky was supposed to be a very lonely experience and everything seemed designed to make it clear to player that they were alone in this massive universe.

People at the time said they wanted the multiplayer that was promised, but when you actually look at what Sean had in mind, I'm really not sure that many would have enjoyed it even if was in the game on day 1

In a 2014 gameinformer interview Sean described multi-player that was influenced by the 2012 game Journey. In the same interview he specifically ruled out having players run around on planets together like Destiny and he wanted players to communicate with each other by leaving little messages on planets.

It's clear that Sean originally wanted a very limited multiplayer that still kept the player feeling isolated and, I dont think a lot of people who preordered the game would have ever been happy with something like that. Base building was also not part of the original plan nor do think Sean would have felt as much pressure add it had original launch went well. In fact, I don't even think foundation update would have ever happened had the launch for no man sky been good at the start

The backlash from the original launch of No Man Sky had a profound impact on both Sean Murray and hello games. We cannot overstate the effect that those events had when it came to turning No Man Sky into the game that now is today

Base terrain regenerated mid-session [Bug]

So I decided to take a couple hours from my base in no mans sky to bash out dreams of the deep. After that and a quick stint quickly brushing out the weekend mission I forgot about, I took a trip to my settlement and then to my base to check on the terminal missions.

The terminals that were now fully buried under terrain, along with half my base.

This was an area I'd flattened about a week ago before building my base, to prepare for having my base there... and now it's a total mess. I had it how I liked it and now I have to excavate it.

Should I just quit this game? [Question]

I’ve put about 18 hours so far into my run. It’s been fun and interesting, but something happened that made me instantly quit. I’ve wasted a couple hours gathering materials for zero reason and I’m too frustrated to continue. Let me tell you what happened and then tell me if it’s worth another 18 hours. My gaming time is limited, so I’m not happy I feel it’s wasted over two hours of my time.

I found a new ship that is a wreck from a distress beacon that I really want. I’m still in the starter ship. The new ship is on an extreme environment planet. It’s has a ton of damage I have to repair… which I don’t mind mining and trading for mats to fix.

Because it was an extreme environment, I built a shelter close to the ship so I could refine mat in safety. I bully myself a warp gate too, so I could jump around to different locations to gather mats. I guess my base was too close to the ship because when I warped back after spending ALL my cash on wiring looms to repair the ship, it had disappeared completely. Is there a way to get it back, or did I waste hours of my time making parts list and gathering material to fix this ship that doesn’t exist anymore?

Has NMS officially become a next-gen game? [Discussion]

I started playing some time last year, very late to the game all things considered. It was a bit buggy the whole time, crashing once or twice a session. But now, after Prisms and even more so after Frontiers, it's become entirely unplayable on my base PS4.

I am simply not in a financial position to upgrade to even a Pro, never mind pay a scummy scalper $1000+ (CAD) for a PS5 or build a PC for even more, so it saddens me that I can't play at all any more. It's not even about losing progress. I'm an obsessive saver, I never lose more than half an hour of progress (which is good, considering I can barely play more than that without it crashing). It's about sheer unplayability. It's the constant frame drops, textures taking forever to load, and again, the crashes at least once an hour.

Any other "last gen" players feel this way? Is it similar on Xbox? Or is it just as bad for next-gen and is just a mess everywhere?

Just to clarify, I'm not saying the game is bad for this. It's a great game and I love it. If anything, that's why I'm so passionately upset about how the last gen is getting left behind before it's really possible for most people to join the new generation.

Things I wish I knew earlier before using up 6ish hours [Information]

When upgrading capital ships every room/built component will stay.

(Not sure about technologies so that’s the next one to check) You couldn’t tame flying animals when taming first came in.

(Somewhere there’s a planet with a whole bunch of wood panels about 100-200u in the air) If you’re doing messages from the deep mission and you can’t find a landing spot you’re better off finding a black hole and starting again.

(12hrs driving around a sub at 16.4u/s for a helmet and title) With the new basic structures there are actual walls with automatic doors.

(Couldn’t figure out why my doorway turned into a wall) Rusted metal becomes useable for ferrite after turning pure into rust with bigger refiners.

(No more rock bashing eating all my carbon) 80 dihydrogen is all you need to make an infinite amount to fleet fuel.

(First thing I found out actually) You can’t restart the settlement mission even if you decline after you meet them.

(They’re on the toxic planet I started on and I had found a perfect place for another on a lush world without aggressive sentinels) If doing the reload trick to get a better capital ship, remember which system you’re supposed to go to because my last one was impossible if I wanted to get closer.

(Although at the system literally the closest to where I was going there was a nice vy’keen acclimator so I count that as a win)

In saying that I think the last one I might be missing something

All the jetpack upgrades I got from doing the missions, plus all the jetpack upgrades I found in the 3 space stations (I've only gone to 3 systems so far) that offered more fuel or more fuel efficiency add up to 9 seconds of power out of the jetpack.

I built a tower to jump off of. Launching from the top of the tower and running the jetpack gives me 20 seconds of flight time.

I have taken up the task of starting again in No mans and i seem extremely lost! I played when it first came out and loved the game. I slowly lost love for the content back then but after seeing so much has been added wanted to return.

​

I am extremely lost within the game and was looking for somewhere i could maybe get some information. The new base building i think i have got to grips with but not got anything much done. Do i need to follow the missions that they keep laying out to unlock things? I think i am on one that i have to go to the black hole on.

​

Thank you in advance

Changes I want in Settlements [Suggestion]

Settlements are a nice addition to the game, bringing life to planets. However, as a management sim game system, it is lacking in some areas. It feels empty compared to games like the Sims and Cities Skylines which cover the premise of building your community and managing it. Here are some suggestions to improve settlements. More lively villagers --> It would be nice for them to interact with the environment and not just run and sit on chairs. NPCs in space stations literally converse with one another which is rarely seen in settlements. Imagine walking into a bar and villagers are chugging juice and smoking GekNip, now that's immersion. Villagers could also have designated jobs that affect their behaviours. Identify buildings --> When you first find your settlement, the buildings are there with no purpose. I have a 'bar' that stocks up on ship parts and a factory that makes tyres with a sawblade. There is no specific purpose and assets are just generated randomly. It would also be nice to label buildings with signs like 'bar', 'house', etc. More work --> Time to build new structures is painfully long and there is just nothing to do. Referring to Part 1, one way to mitigate this is villagers running to ask for help. Then, we can do small tasks like gathering or hunting. More management --> In settlements, the only thing to worry about is happiness and debt. How about food supply or power? Imagine deciding to build a farm for food or a generator for power. And what if these impacted future building projects? More building freedom --> Give us the option to decide where to build new places and what they would be. I would like a catalog of different buildings(generators, factories), decide where to build them and let prog gen work out their design. This gives me freedom to build and better organise the village.

In summary, settlements is promising but lacks depth for many people to...

If your inventory is full you lose your reward [Information]

I finished the expedition, did all the phases, and tried to collect my reward Egg. But my inventory was full, and it vanished instead.

It's like NMS just decided to give me the finger right at the end.

I tried the Quicksilver dude, he says I already redeemed it. Yeah, but I never actually received it.

Sometimes this game is just shitty.

Don't do what I did. Clear an inventory spot first or you'll get shafted.

I am returning player from long time ago, and I have some questions! [Question]

The first thing I noticed when returning is this constant shaking/jittering of my screen and character when walking and running, why is that? It didn’t happen the last time I played, and the only noticeable thing I changed from then to now is having a 144hz monitor.

Secondly, where would a good place to build a permanent base be? I love building, and I want to get out there and build a home base, but I want it to be in a good place. I’m in no rush, so I’m curious what kind of planets, maybe a checklist, of things I should be looking for.

Thirdly, besides upgrading scanners and selling salvage data, what’s a good way to get money? Money is always important obviously.

Lastly, I figure the answer is no but I saw an event to get the mass effect Normandy in this game, is it too late to get it, or was it a permanent addition similar to the Star Wars inspired ships?

Thank you for help, it feels good to be back!

Warp/teleport gates and ships [Question]

Hello, travelers! I finally picked this game up last week and have been having a blast. So far, I've had two questions that I haven't found an answer to as of yet.

First, whenever I use a warp gate/teleporter to get back to a base, my ship always pops up somewhere very inconvenient (usually clipping in and through stuff), even if I have a landing pad at that base. Is there anyway I can stop this from happening?

Second, I have a second ship that I found and am repairing. It's there a way to have my additional ships in display? So far, they always seem to disappear when I leave planet and go somewhere else.

Also, I wouldn't be opposed to any general advice or guidance early on.

How can I get to a new galaxy [Question]

It appears my game is somewhat corrupted; going to my home base via warp will blue screen me every time. If I go to the local space station and fly there, I am able to do some things but trying g to delete the base causes it to crash also. Staying in the area also crashes it. I deleted everything I could, no go. I also have a problem where settlements do not spawn any events; no buildings, conflicts to resolve or anything. I’ve gone to multiple different settlements, same thing. So I’m thinking I’d like to go to a new galaxy, preferably lush, and that might kind of reset everything. Can I just go to a portal address?

Damn I feel lucky. [Discussion]

I started a perma death save a few days ago.

I spawned in a system with a rainbow lush world.

I decided to go back to my spawn star to find the settlement there and claim it. It had no debts and was already class B and making Activated Indium and some like, cheap trade stuffs.

I looted a class S shield module before ever leaving my first star, from debris.

When I warped enough times to get my first freighter, it was a class A freighter.

And the region of space in Euclid that this all happened in happens to be called "Istlam"..

And it has a star with a similar name to a star in my spawn region on my main survival save. On my survival in Rocedonn Shallows save there is a star called Etouch, and in Istlam there is a star called Etouch Yusa VI.

Both regions have a peaceful planet in a Vykeen yellow star with purple grass and blue skies.

Base Building Possible Bug [Bug]

I'm new to the game and built my first base just fine but my second one I built kinda big and I made sure the entire base was sealed. For some reason I still get the little fairy dust stuff that you get on your screen when you're outside walking around as if it doesn't register that my base is sealed off or complete. Also sometimes when I'm standing or walking around in the base, the notification that tells you you're now in your base spams my screen and goes back and forth over and over. Also sentinels spawn inside, am I missing something? Are there maybe some building parts that don't seal your base off? Any help is appreciated.

Base Building Quest - Weapons Terminal Section Stuck in a Loop [Bug]

Like the title says. I've searched all over the Internet, and I can't for the life of me find any threads on this particular bug.

The bug:

After speaking to the Overseer and getting the "find the weapons guy" quest, I couldn't find the weapons fellow. I assumed this was a bug, so I abandoned the quest to retake it.

Here's where the magic happens. The Overseer is stuck in an infinite loop of offering me the quest to find the weapons guy/build a terminal (both of which I've already managed to do). The kicker is, when I hit "accept", nothing happens. No quest update, nothing added to my log, nothing. When I speak with him again, he gives me the same dialogue of asking me why I don't have a weapons guy, then offering the quest without actually giving me the quest.

Continuing with this, I found the weapons guy through using multiplayer, and now he's in my base. However, he won't give me any quests - it just says he's busy. The Overseer is still stuck in his dialogue loop.

I've searched all over for others with this issue at this stage in the quest, and found nothing. Is there a way around this bug, or am I just screwed for base building missions from now on?

Star Bulb won't grow when planted on a planet [Bug]

My new base near my settlement is on a planet that is suitable for planting star bulb outside but they don't grow. When I look at them through the visor it has an infinity symbol next to time to grow.

I went to another planet that has star bulb and the same thing happens, they plant fine but don't grow. So I went back to an old base where I had some already planted and they were grown, I harvested them and left the planet. I returned days later and they have grown again. Is there a reason they won't grow on the more recent planets but still grow on the old one?

They grow fine in domes and planters but it's more efficient to have a bunch outside the base requiring no power.

I hope there is an answer to this as it's the only part lacking on my new fusion accelerator farm! Would be nice to be able to get everything in one place rather than jumping bases.

Expedition 3: Had a good bug for a change? "return to anomaly" [Bug]

So I started Expedition 3 on Sunday, finished Monday morning (total of 7:27 played.)

Sunday Evening, went back to my Normal 821 only other save with the settlement; did the Weekend Event with the Anomaly.

Very early Monday morning (I work nights, Monday -Friday) I start playing the Expedition 3 save again. While recharging, I notice something I've never seen before:

"Return to anomaly" with the Anomaly icon I did not previous see in the expedition save, with an arrow thing kind of wrapping around it; by the way, the ship wasn't fixed yet nor had I yet been in space or off of Gisto what-ever-the-heck.

So I figure, "What the heck?" I manual save then hit it.

I spawn in the Anomaly. I can't warp to other player bases (first thing I checked ;) ) but I CAN visit 3 "Featured Bases" from the teleporter.

I can also learn blueprints and such, so reading about the difficulties with this expedition I plan to learn "Herox"; I need 900 nanites.

I go to one of the features planets, it is a moon with a base way in the air. "Hmm, I know one of the things is falling..." Just being there, I get the one for being on top of a mountain. I jump off, it is a moon, so I easily get the "fall for 30 seconds" as well.

Another "featured" base has a cool set up like a diner thing, with the food processor. So I take the fungal mold and such from Gisto and put it in that. Then I refine that to the next product, "Steamed Vegetables", or something. Again, "Return to the Anomaly" with that icon that normally summons the anomaly but with an arrow going around it (again, don't even have to be in space, I do it from the surface.)

I easily make more than 900 nanites turning that food into "Toad Head Guy" in the Anomaly.

I buy the Herox recipe.

I get my ship working in pretty short order, then do a bunch of "Step 5." Then I back track and do some other...

I used to play on high settings with no problem.

recently i got back to it. the problem : constant stuttering, heavy fps drops and ultimately said fps stagnating around 15 with frequent .5s long freezes.

I used a few optimisation guides and manage to make the game run at 80fps, no stuttering, no freeze, smooth as butter... for 2 minutes. after that there is a steady drop of fps until it falls back to 15 fps.

​

i once deleted the "settings" in the game files a month ago and somehow it fixed all my problems making the game run at 60fps. but for some reason now the game is back to running horribly and deleting the settings doesn't work anymore.

list of 5 fun things that should be in no mans sky [Suggestion]

better settlements, im not sayin that they are bad or anything but they feel very lackluster and more like an afterthought to the actual gameplay, and even if you get a good settelment going theyl just produce something stupid like rusted metal and dirt. I think it should be changed to be more interactive, like mabye you could convince the workers to make something more useful or mabye you could even make a friend to help you on your journeys or something automation tools; and i dont mean things like bots. I mean mechanics similar to what we have in other games such as satisfactory. Imagine how much fun it would be to construct massive factorys to mass produce items, mabye you could even give those items to your settelment for some sort of buff. Regardless, I think making something like this would add more depth and fun to mass crafting certain items. But if thats not possible, at the very least we should be able to route the output from mineral/gass extractors to refiners to make certain items en mass like herox or something. player economy is something missing from the game, i beleive adding this would be very fun but what would it do? it would add the abillity for players to own their own shops and have them be open 24/7 like a sort of custom trade terminal, and mabye even a way to sell multitools and ships. Imagine how fun it could be to be a multitool seller and construct amazing multitools to sell so that you can have enough units for a super cool ship that somebody else is also selling. Youd even be able to sell pre-upgraded multitools and ships for more cash. more/better pve, the game has basically no combat and its almost always avoidable, when there is combat its so easy you can usually get out with no damage taken, there are only really 4 enemy types (not counting corrupted sentinels and predators) and 3 of them are sentinels, mabye we should have more...

Just finished Expedition 3. Am I losing out on anything by continuing my Expedition save now (before it converts to Normal)? [Question]

My Normal mode is only a few hours ahead (though way farther in Artemis storyline) and with all the rewards the expedition gave me, I think I'd rather just keep playing this save with superior upgrades and an S Class ship.

But I notice I don't have a milestones tab (only an expedition tab) and it made me wonder - am I getting anything for milestones? Will they all pile up for me in 5 weeks? What about faction standing (that I can't check)? Is there anything important I won't be able to do for the next 5 weeks if I keep playing - to the point where I might as well just go back to my Normal save and catch that one up instead?

TL;DR: Should I continue my old Normal save or just keep playing my (superior) Expedition save as normal now?

"Best" Console for No Man's Sky? [Question]

Hi folks,

Please forgive the newbie question; I'm a middle aged guy who hasn't owned a current video game console since I bought a Super Nintendo in 1993. My kids have a Nintendo Switch but it's their system and I haven't messed with it.

I've been playing No Man's Sky with all of the graphics settings turned way down on my Macbook Pro booted into Windows. I've gotten hooked on the game, but it doesn't run super well.

After seeing folks' amazing screencaps and video clips of the game running on more powerful systems, I've decided that it's time to buy a console or a gaming PC for No Man's Sky. I'm leaning towards a console since I'm a Mac guy, want to play on my TV, and don't want to deal with PC updates, antivirus, etc. etc. etc. Also, buying a console should be cheaper than buying a gaming PC (although it looks like the current supply/demand situation has messed up that calculus).

I know just about nothing about the current crop of consoles and it's unlikely that I'll be interested in playing other games on any console I might end up buying. The one exception is that I might like to play Star Wars Squadrons too. I have two pre-teen daughters who enjoy their Nintendo Switch a lot, but they have no interest in playing any of the current Playstation or Xbox games.

All things being equal, what console should I buy to play No Man's Sky with all of the graphical bells and whistles enabled? I do plan on playing on a 4k TV, but think that'd I'd probably be happy playing in 1080p on that TV provided that the game runs "beautifully" (high performance with all the graphics bells and whistles).

Knowing very little about console gaming, here's what I think my options are: Playstation 5; Playstation 4 Pro; Playstation 4; Xbox Series X; Xbox Series S; or, Xbox Series One.

What do y'all think?

Can't begin Artemis missions after Expedition 3: Cartographers [Bug]

After completing the Expedition, I want to continue on with this as a new normal save. The Space Anomaly questline tells me to begin "Alone Amidst the Stars" to find Artemis, but that quest doesn't appear in my Log.

Expedition blues [Discussion]

This is my first expedition and so far I have had the worst luck.

It started good: my ship is a BEAUTIFUL black and white exotic that I look forward to using.

Then, I went away for a while to find a cave to shelter in. When I got back, someone had built a base next to the ship which meant not only could I not build there, but I had to go over 1K units away across rough toxic terrain just to make a base and then spend several minutes commuting back and forth between the two of them to get stuff done. Even with companion help (no flying ones, just earthbound ones), it takes so looooong.

Thing is, I don't think this person built that base to be a jerk - their ship probably shared a spawn point and my timing sucks.

Speaking of bases, mine is apparently bugged. I go inside to escape the toxic rain, and it's still raining inside despite the roof so no respite for me. It often acts like the structure isn't there - I have walked through the walls at least twice. The camera also has a problem with these new walls as it gets very janky when I'm inside - sometimes it passes through walls, sometimes, it just starts twitching back and forth for no good reason.

Next problem is scans: I need two more minerals to progress which means they're either tiny little things that I keep missing, or they're deep water rocks. See, I also need two lifeforms, both of which are underwater creatures. So far, all the water around has been so shallow, I can barely keep my head below the surface to scan things. I'm hoping there is some deep water somewhere nearby but the way my luck is going, it's probably on the other side of the planet.

I'm hoping to build a geobay ASAP and get A vehicle, but ATM I'm still short Paraffinium despite mining every rock I can find. OTOH, I do have a lot of Amonia now so I can keep refueling my exosuit.

So... my first day on Expedition 3 ended with me completing phase 1...

Expanding upon settlements could be a great new gameplay loop. [Suggestion]

Expanding upon settlements could be a great new gameplay loop. (Long Read).

Settlements are one of my favorites additions to NMS. There is tons of potential to what HG can do with them and expand upon the idea to other aspects of the game as well.

Some things I would love to see in settlements would be having more NPC interactions like we get in the space stations. This would give us more things to do in the settlements while waiting for our building timers to end. I’d love to see NPCs ask for items to make the happiness of our settlements go up. NPCs could send us on missions to other planets to look for other NPCs to recruit to expand the NPCs for our settlements.

When it comes to disputes they should expand it to having us do investigations to resolve the dispute. I would also like to see us be able to tackle disputes just from the NPCs walking around the settlements and not just from the settlement console.

Games like Red Dead 2 and Skyrim have ambient quests from random NPCs, adding something like that to settlements would go a long way to interactive NPCs that would make the settlements feel more alive.

Another thing that would really add to settlements would be letting us place the buildings where we want instead of the game placing them. This would allow us to add our own touches to the layout of the settlements. This could also be a strategic aspect to settlements if they expand upon defending settlements from attacks. And speaking of defending attacks, I hope at some point we get attacked by more than just the armored sentinels. They should make the defending settlements like a tower defense game. That could make it much more fun than it is now. The buildings should also be destructible, so if they get attacked too much we have to fix them back up. Would add another layer and also give us more things to do.

More stuff with friggin' frigates and freighters, please! [Suggestion]

I love selecting which ship to send out from the fleet and seeing what they come back with. Honestly it's probably my favorite part of the game. I would love to see more things to do with the frigates and freighters.

Rescue missions, attacks on supply ships, bombarding an enemy target from above, blockading trade routes, etc. But not just selecting, fueling, and then sitting and waiting.

I'm talking about being in the commander's chair and responding to my frigate captains as things go down - watching from above like an intergalactic game of RISK. Making decisions that have real consequences (like losing a frigate... or starting a war) in real time with the battles/missions the same way we do with our towns/cities in Frontiers. Do we proceed with the mission? Do we pull back? Do we sacrifice one frigate and its crew in order to all the remaining fleet to escape as a hole?

High stakes, high rewards. But also high consequences. Your returning frigates could be traced and your freighter could be attacked. Spies can be on board one of your frigates that tips them off.

I could spend almost my entire time in this game on the bridge of my freighter if this were implemented in the game.

My two cents.

I'm still mostly new to the game, 60 hours total but only recently got back into the Game, but I can't seem to understand the map, I can't tell what system is better for trade, rarer items, better chances for ships and freighters, how close it is to the center and all. I doubt renaming all the ones not already discovered to know which is the way to go.

@ what point did you start getting new citizens more frequently? [Question]

I've been messing with my first settlement for probably around a week. Got 3 landing pads, couple dwellings, and some processing centers up. But I've only gotten like 3 new citizens since the frontiers update came out

Then I see youtubers (granted this is all they do) have like 80-100. At this rate when the citizen cap is 200, it's gonna take me at least a year to maybe get halfway

Is it just me? Am I doing something wrong? At what point did citizens just start flooding in?

Is resetting a main story quest to get a different marker possible? [Question]

I'm on the story quest Patterns of Time, where I have to prove to the Korvax Cartographer my anomalous status.

The problem is he is sending me to a water planet where the nearest landing point is over 3 hours swimming from the PoI. I really don't want to do that, and I've spent the last hour trying to google my way out of the problem.

Middle mouse button isn't resetting it like some years old posts have said, and I'm nearly 2000 light years away from the quest and not getting it reset that way either.

Any ideas?

Question to the Community [Question]

I don’t mean to bring a downer but I just thought I would share my opinion on the new expedition and would like others opinion about what I have to say too. So here goes:

Since expirations have been out it has given me a reason to enjoy this game more however this is my opinion…

I really think they could have been more interesting with the current one live. I actually don’t enjoy this one and think they should expand more into things that could make vets like me be tested more.

Plus also this settlement update is cool and different but it’s kinda lame too. I wish they would expand on the original current content than bring more in to the game. Like this game could be so much more than it actually is doing.

That’s all I have to say. And I don’t mean to offend anyone if this post does but it’s really how I feel about NMS at the moment.

When to start exploring? [Question]

When should a new player feel comfortable to stop following the "tutorial" and start exploring freely? My first time playing I tried exploring before reaching the Space Anomaly, and I was crippled from missing out on the construction terminal (medium/large refiners omg). Then I did some exploring without exocraft, and when I found out about them I realized how much time I had wasted. Now a friend of mine tells me I should get the freighter ASAP. Is there anything else after that which is also considered "essential"?

Why does Hello Games seem to avoid depth in their gameplay? [Discussion]

For some folks, this post probably won't make sense, but I'll try to dig into what I mean. What I mean by depth is not making the moment to moment gameplay more time-consuming or overly complicated, but adding stronger connections between some of them, adding possible, intentional, system interactions between others, and adding more interactive options besides destroying things, reacting to events, or having dead-end dialogs.

I know the most obvious reasons are probably: that's more work, that needs a bigger team, and so on. However: Hello Games has literally reworked damn near every other element of the game from the ground textures to the oceans to the clouds to the skies in space to the nebulae, the very progression structures of the game, the basebuilding system thrice over now (Foundation, Next, Frontiers). Yet throughout all these changes one thing has remained consistent across the versions: there is a resounding lack of depth.

Survival remains by & large colored bars draining that are easily managed with sufficient sodium or batteries. Combat merely demands enough ammunition, decent aim, and the odd shield upgrade, & the associated shield recharge product/resource for when in a starship doesn't hurt. Trade's been improved with system economies, but undermined by automated high value resource extraction, potentially across multiple bases, not to mention ease of market crashing. Exploration's seen new biomes & assets, some assets of which have a touch different behaviors, but ultimately biomes & assets largely operate identically with very little to give any particular biomes anything more than a slight visual identity, with no substance beneath.

By no means do I intend to diminish the work Hello Games has done, but I think it's worth highlighting an area they've been seeming to avoid amidst all that work. Revision after revision, feature...

Lost my favorite ship [Question]

Well, as I was asking some hours ago if it would be risky to claim a ship from my Twitch drops, as it is my first time. Then I exchanged my lovely and expensive ship and I can't find it anymore. I went to a space station to recycle my old ones (I'm absolutely sure I didn't recycle my buddy), but when it went to the last one, I figured out that it really was my last one.

​

I came back to the Nexus, nothing. I summoned my freighter, empty. I tried to summon another ship, only this ugly, bad, terrible one.

Found a fix for not getting settlement buildings/visitors anymore! [Information]

So, I've seen a few posts over this, and only one fix, so, I'm reposting it. I saw someone mention this in a comment yesterday but, I'm dumb, and can't remember the name.

If your settlement isn't giving you new buildings to build, or visitors, or anything, go to the center of the galaxy and warp to a new galaxy. It will "reset" your quests back to their same stages, but will let you build new structures and all at your settlements.

Edit: I should add, no, you do not lose and progress or anything, you can use Space Station teleporters to freely go back to your old galaxies bases and all, just be sure to have the materials to repair your multi-tool, ship's General tab, and exosuit General tab, because all tech in those will be damaged. Or bring a lot of repair kits.

[Spoiler] Question about Space Money Making [Spoiler]

Is farming Gravitino Balls the best way to make space money? I just bought the game last week and have discovered a moon that has no active weather effects (I just have to recharge my life support) but aggressive sentinels. This world has gravitino balls all over the place and I just melee/jetpack jump and sprint around collecting them without the sentinels ever catching me.

​

The first day doing this I made like 30 mil, and now managed to buy a hauler class ship with 30 slots. Also upgraded some of the storage in my exosuit so I can collect more per trip. I'm now making like 10 mil+ per trip to the planet (like 20-30 mins of running around and collecting). I build a base on another moon that is nearby so I can have the base in a safer area.

​

Is this the best way for me to spend my time making space money to buy bigger/better ships and freighters? Should I build a base on the Gravitino moon?

​

Or is there something else I can do as I progress through the story/game that makes more space money?

​

Thanks!

So, about that living ship... [Question]

(For reference, not a newbie at about 150hrs in, and have finished story mode a while back.) A few months back, I was given a void egg while in the Anomaly. I kept it in my inventory for roughly a month. In that time, I warped, pulsed, and played as normal. Not once did I get any kind of prompt to begin a mission to start the process on hatching and building a living ship. I used pulse many, many times over the course of a month. Warped many, many times as well. Finally got frustrated, and gave it away. What gives? Is the chance just completely lost to me at this point?

Still kind of new to the game, but I thought it was the person who discovered the system/planet first was the one got credit for discovering it. I've been playing in a star system for almost 2 weeks now, I've built 4 bases in the system and my gek settlement. I used to be the discoverer of the system and all 6 planets, but I loaded the game to find out my star system and 1 of the planets are now discovered by someone else... yesterday. I don't get what happened? It's a console player, I'm steam. Does console out rank steam or something?! Not a huge deal, but does kinda ruin the immersion of being the master of my star system.

Manufacturing Idea [Suggestion]

How much more could be done, if we had automatic refiners for our gas extractors or mineral extractors between them and the supply depots?

For example, I have an S class Rusted Metal deposit, and while that's... wonderful when it comes to never needing to gather ferrite dust for things like Alloy buildings, I need an oxygen deposit (Fortunately on the same planet) to keep it worth it, otherwise, I will run out of fuel in my personal refiner (You cannot tell me to find something else to do for about 20 minutes while my large refiner does its thing, that's too much managing). What if we were given the option to automatically refine these resources?

Perhaps it will require loads of power to offset the benefit of this, but you could set up all of your extractors to one or multiple refiners, then have it auto deposit into your supply depots (set up this refiner to rusted metal and you have a hands free ferrite dust, pure or magnetized mine for all future endeavors). Perhaps you can set up multiple refiners one after the other, for a system from an oxygen extractors, you could set up two refiners to turn it into a condensed carbon mine (For those who prefer simplicity of batteries rather than electromagnetic fields and expanding the radius of your base if its a little far from your S class deposit).

It doesn't need to be a complicated refiner, it doesn't need to be able to synthesize materials together such as gold, silver, and platinum for a nanite farm (That would be cool as hell though), nor use the normal refiner method, perhaps it simply requires power and works all on its own just like the extractors do.

Do Settlements... get better? [Discussion]

Just to preface this, I'm not negative about Frontiers. It has done a lot of good for building in NMS, but ironically the settlements seem like the weakest part of it to me.

After playing on and off since Frontier released, I really haven't noticed anything significant happen with my settlement. The occasional new building and a landing pad, and that's about it. It produces... 100 Gamma Root and 10 Giant Cogs per day. Not exactly lucrative...

The whole thing just seems very surface level. Has anyone gotten significantly further along with their settlement and noticed anything big or game changing? Does the production change to more valuable items? Are there any additions besides the landing pad that have anything that the player can interact with?

New Bugs as a result of the Frontier Expansion [Bug]

I already commented on the bug forum and sent Hello Games a message (been a few days) but I just wanted to have some kind of feedback. I play on PC/Steam and have played around 60 hours before these issues came up and I do not use any mods. I started a new game and ran into these issues within two hours of the new campaign. Started a new one thinking it was a one-off but they persisted. My old game save does not have these issues but I do worry if I continue to play that save file then it might have similar issues down the line. If there is another place to post this, other than the two places I have already, then please tell me in the comments. Space Station icons no longer work. I now have to use the radar and hyperdrive in that general direction. Then I have to find the outline of the station and use the hyperdrive in that general direction and hope I get close enough and not overshoot. Taking a physical hit from an enemy flings me several hundred meters either away or strait into the air. When constructing a base, I am no longer able to walk past areas that previously had walls but no longer do. Even though I deleted a wall, the game still acts like it is still there. This issue persists even when placing a door.

If you're a new player, and you don't mind getting a head start on your save, let me know. Every couple of days, I'll have enough Activated Indium to make some lucky player 100 million or more in the right system. One head start per player. No strings attached, we just have to sign on at the same time and find each other.

If you aren't a new player, or want to do everything yourself, maybe spread the word to someone who could use the help.

(2) Friend: Join your game.

(3) Friend: Create a manual save (at a Save Point)

(4) Friend: Go to the space station and teleport to a space station in a Gek star system with a class 3 economy.

(5) You: Summon the Anomaly, enter and exit, selecting your friends star system.

(6) You: Go to the space station where your friend is.

(7) Friend: Patiently watch and wait for a class S Hauler space ship to arrive, then buy it.

(8) Friend: Enter and exit the Hauler.

(9) Friend: Get back in your original space ship and exit the space station.

(10) Friend: Summon their freighter.

(11) Friend: Land on their freighter.

(12) Friend: Verify the new Hauler space ship is there in the Freighter landing bay.

(13) You: Confirm there is still the Hauler that your friend bought in the space station.

(14) You: Enter and exit the hauler.

(15) You: Go to the starship upgrade terminal. Confirm you see the Hauler image but your Living Ship name.

(16) You: Start to upgrade the ship with Storage Augmentations. You should see your living ship inventory while you're applying the storage augmentations. Keep going until you max out your storage.

(17) You: Get into your Living Ship. Confirm the augmentations applied. Get out to save your progress.

Mineral Extractor Issue [Question]

I've looked up a LOT of guides and information on how to get a mineral farm to work. However, I'm having weird issues / bugs & a few questions. I will list them off here:

​ Is Mineral Extraction Diminishing Returns still a thing?

-> The reason I ask is because I've yet to visually see this in my game. I've specifically tried testing myself and not had a diminishment of returns. I connected 6 extractors together and each time I calculated their addition to the network PRIOR to connection, and each time the supply depot is inline with what I calculate.

If diminishing returns is still a thing, how many before it applies? (Ive seen 4, 5, and even 8 be tossed around)

Somehow my mineral extractors are adding to my supply depot network even when not "physically" connected via a supply tube. Anyone else see this before?

-> I've had three extractors physically 'touching' and then powered them all. I connected ONE of the three to a supply depot and the SD shows that all 3 are connected. I know this because it displays something like 8XX/hr insted of 2XX/hr since the one connected to it produces 2XX/hr.

Expedition 3: Incomplete [Question]

So I just got NMS on PC with the latest updates. I've logged about 200+ hours in NMS on PS4 last year so I'm pretty familiar with the game but new to the expedition piece. I had started Expedition 3, and was making good progress, completed 2 phases completely and had 1 or 2 task left on 2 more of the phases. I just got a message that the expedition is over and had to accept it. I'm assuming that's it, right? I didn't get on it in time to complete it so now I've missed expedition 1, 2 and most of 3 rewards?

Brand new to Reddit so please don't annihilate me. But I've spent just about 5 hours trying to finish building the roof on one of the buildings im trying to build. I can start it and it take the resources, but when the timer runs out, it resets and asks for the same resources again. Is it a fix to this?

Not all systems have Settlements big sad, let me see yours [Discussion]

Found a perfect planet that was just the right balance between trippy and beautiful, with cool predators and environment in a good system...and not a single planet in the whole system has a settlement :'( Tried a few reloads/map combos but no dice.

What cool planets/biomes have you managed to find a settlement in?

(Shoutout to Hello games for listening to players, teleporter in overseers office and trade network in the settlement are massive improvements for me!!)

No Man's Sky: A Procedural Confession [Article]

Dear No Man's Sky

Dear NMS Community

Dear Hello Games,

It's been five years. Looking back from today's perspective, No Man's Sky for me, is an analogue of both a diary and a painting. A painting in a large simulated canvas, with no visible dimensions that we call the NMS Universe. The community being the painters and Hello Games holding and using the paint brush. Someone reading this would say, "but Hello Games had ideas too". And i will agree and repeat. The community being the painters. Hello Games is so close to the community, listening to what this community wants that is actually part of that community. Or at least this is how i feel it, and i bet many of you would agree.

This canvas has a lot of different touches. You've got these wonderful vistas to explore, with an ever-growing variety. It started as small as a pond, and it's grown to the point it's a big lake now! And it's only growing. It's only getting less emptier by each update. Let's face it. It's not the game that is shallow. (You can disagree on this, and i respect that but share my perspective for a moment) It is the frame that it's too big. There is this simulated sci-fi universe, which by the way is only a fraction of that of the real-life universe in size, and then it's what's in it. This "in it" is you, is me and is what we can do "in it". And no matter how many play it and no matter how much you add, it will never seize to feel shallow sometimes to some. And if you look a bit closer, maybe "shallow" isn't the most appropriate word for all occasions. I'd use "lonely".

It can be lonely sometimes and that is okay. So does life. Yes, you can oversee a settlement. You can build a base. You can hunt ships. You can watch the night sky. And it might feel shallow, it might feel repetitive, it might feel lonely. Again. So does life. From my perspective, NMS is not just a simulated universe, it's...

Expedition 3 was fantastic. Thanks Hello Games! [Discussion]

Title.

Really got chills when I finally fixed that exotic and took off. The deep exploration of the planet was so much fun too. I didn't think it would be challenging, what with handouts at every milestone, but the procedural building locations made finding Herox quite difficult! Thanks for a new, fun way to play the game. I can't wait until the next one!

How does story progression work across characters and when does expedition character become a "normal" one? [Question]

Hello,

I just finished my first ever expedition yesterday. I played the game a lot when it first launched, then on and off a bit so whenever I returned, I had no idea where I left off so I decided to make my expedition character main one.

I decided to start the story once I did all milestones as I don't really remember where I left off and I think bits got remade but I was surprised Nada greeted me like we know each other and my objective is to "continue the search for Artemis". I'm pretty sure that is where my first character's story is, so is it shared?

And secondly, the game tells me my expedition character will be converted into a regular one. Will that happen after the expedition? And until then am I able to play with non-expedition characters of friends or are these "stored" separately?

Thank you in advance!

Are settlements pointless? [Question]

​

https://preview.redd.it/88fww63h1en71.jpg?width=1200&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=52a2453d42160c0d71fa6457dcf976c177ad54ad

I am having tough time understanding settlements because they seem to me too shallow to add anything to the gameplay. But maybe I am overlooking something. Take a look at the screenshot attached. My settlement is now class "S" and has happy and productive settlers. I am asked to make a policy decision from the following 2 choices:

Research new industrial unit. This will remove item that provides happiness, but will presumably increase productivity by installing plasma welder.

Research leisure technology. This removes happiness, but adds High Speed Food Service (presumably adds happiness?). If true, this basically won't make any difference, will it?

Why do I even need to make a choice? What is the end-game for a settlement, what is the goal?

I could understand the gameplay if, for example, we could decide what is the settlement going to produce. Maybe even have settlement doing large-scale automated crafting. Make it a game to obtain a building that can craft Semiconductors. Another building that can craft Nitrogen Salt and Thermic Condensate because they are needed by the Semiconductors building. Etc Etc. At least the buildings would have a purpose, there would be a better reason for playing to obtain the buildings we need to produce what we want.

What am I missing? Why are settlements good?

I found an extreme weather planet and forgot to write down where I found it. I know its on my system list because I landed on the planet already but I don't know how to find out what kind of weather a system has an whether its extreme or not.

P.S. The system list sucks. When you expand the drop down to show the planets it hides other system which means you have to scroll up or down and then back to go back to normal which is really confusing and makes things even harder to keep track of.

Can't jump to the galactic core? [Bug]

Greetings,

I've jumped to a few galaxies with no issues what so ever.

But today when I was ready to go to the galactic core, I selected it, was in the closest system, fuel 100% and even had the button ready to warp. But when I pressed it, nothing happened. I tried restarting the game, still nothing. I tried other systems but it just reverted back to the system that says it can jump to the center. Nothing is wrong with the ship, I have a ship dedicated to galaxy jumping and has had no issues jumping before. I can't tell what the issue is. Any help would be much appreciated, thank you!

Rescue game beacon... [Bug]

So, I had this mission with Artemis to use the translator where I had to meet someone on a moon of my main base planet. Each time I would go near the spot the game would crash. Fortunately for me, I found a knowledge stone that unlocked the quest for me and ended the crashes.

I kept on going and it went to the point where the armorer would send me talk to a pirate on the same moon. And crash again! This time no knowledge stone would save me... I was about to delete the save and restart a new game when I decided to build a save beacon. Crashes would happen when moving closer than 650u to the objective... So I advanced a few steps, drop beacon save, pick beacon, advance a few more steps, rince and repeat. At some point the game crashed right after I saved. Either it would be irrecoverable or something else would happen.

When I came back it worked like a breeze and crashes where gone but I didn't find the pirate (a Gek) for some time because only his head was out of the ground, I probably stepped on him a few times while looking for him...

So i guess there is a glitch somewhere that makes NPCs spawn into the ground and when you come close to them the game crash but this was not an issue with the mighty save beacon.

Crazy bug. 3.66 PC [Bug]

I finished expedition 3 yesterday. Tonight I updated to 3.66 patch. Loaded my main normal save which upon loading had 84 hours or so. Played for like 2 hours and at one point I did a manual save reload. When it loaded up, the save has somehow transitioned to an expeditions save.

So freakin weird. Even weirder, the play time for this save went from about 84 hours to 75 hours. Some progress was erased but other Progress wasn’t and there doesn’t seem to be any rhyme or reason.

The expeditions tab has like half of the milestones complete in each phase. Wouldn’t even be possible to complete the phases the way they’re completed. So funky.

Anyone have any ideas? Super sucks. This was my main save that’s all wonky now.

10 hours away from closest building [Question]

Yeah, don’t think I’ll walk 10 hours to finish the that step of the expedition. Anyone has a way around this? Signal booster keeps pointing to the same building all the time. This is for the “enter an alien building” step, or whatever it’s called.

Visiting other player bases, suggestions ? [Question]

Hi travelers !

I’m looking forward to visit lots of bases tonight. I want to feel like a space tourist.

But I still don’t really get how to find good ones.

In the Nexus, there’s the portal and, sometimes the option « suggestions » is greyed out, sometimes not. And when it’s not, I only have 3 bases to visit. I also looked on the coordinate exchange website to find some interesting ones, but I feel like I’m missing something. Is there « city like » bases to visit ? I saw lots of post here showing incredible stuff on this sub these last years but I can’t find coordinates for these. So, what’s the easiest way to find lots of cool bases and visit them ?

What makes your home planet special to you? [Discussion]

I've been playing NMS for a while now, and I've yet to settle on my perfect planet. Sure, I've found many interesting ones. Things I like, such as paradise planets with endless bubbles and beautiful coloured flora and water. But nothing that makes it just right for me. Maybe I'm fussy? I know the aspects of what I want to exist, but I'm just hoping that eventually, I find the one that combines them to make for the one true place I can call home.

​

So, Reddit, what makes your home planet special to you?

Is the Combat Scope bugged? [Question]

I just installed a combat scope in my new multi tool, and made sure it was selected as the secondary tool, but when I hold down RMB nothing happens. Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong? TIA

No planetary settlement on planet of choice? [Question]

Hello. Is it possible that my planet that i have chosen (paradise planet with islands) has no planetary settlement on it? I used planetary chart many times, both from it's surface and on space station and it guides me to every other planet apart from this one. Is it possible or just bad luck? Does archipelago of islands block settlement generation? It has minor outposts/lone buildings on it, I checked it out.

Some newbie questions [Question]

Heyo, I'm new to NMS, been loving the game so far. I got two big questions to ask, though.

I found an S-class ship for only 1 mil credits more than my A-rank ship, but it has the same number of slots. Is this worth it, or nah?

I just found out about the freighter system, I think I missed out on my free freighter because I kept jumping around like a jackass afterwards and never really went to investigate the space battle. Is it possible to go back to the original system and try to look around to see if the freighter is still there, or is it long gone by now?

Update wishlist: What mechanic do you want to see improved or added? [Discussion]

Frontiers is awesome! In the next update I'd love to see combat get some attention, particulary ship-to-ship combat. Right now simply swiveling around in a fixed position and blasting enemy fighters seems to be the dominant strategy. Honest to goodness dogfighting isn't really a thing. Besides tweaking fighter to fighter combat, I'd also love to see frigate combat, and eventually capital ship combat.

Even indirect support from larger ships could add a lot of depth to space combat, I feel. Say you start harassing a frieghter to get those sweet sweet salvage mods, like you do, and in reposne a couple combat frigates warp in to support it. You could disengage while avoiding turret fire then drop your own frieghter nearby, and if your own combat frigates weren't sent on an exposition they would engage the enemy frigates and even the frieghters.

Love this game and I'm excited to see what Hello Games comes up with next!
