Please HG, fix the turning radius of the Minotaur! [Suggestion]

This is my biggest complain about the Minotaur and the game. Slower than not even fully upgraded jetpack and impossible to turn left or right (especially on hills) makes it redundant for me. I want it to be able to use it freely as i am without it. Even having the ability to run and if i dream a little - make it having a melee attack. Please hello games, have a look at this!

I would be greatfull if this post is read by someone in HG's office

Does anybody else feel like the language system in the game needs a major overhaul? [Discussion]

I personally think it is one of few features in the game that feels like an old leftover relic of the original 2016 game. At this point I think that we all can agree that there are better ways for the player to learn languages of each alien race than what is currently in the game

The language system is now an even bigger deal since they added settlements to the game because we have all of these different alien races that we can now talk in each settlement but unless you have learned their language the interaction ends up feeling unsatisfying.

Maybe each settlement should get an npc that is dedicated to teaching the player more about their language and culture. Rather than just learning 1 word the npc can also send players on specific mission on the planet that you are on. Once the mission is complete, the player learns more about the language and lore of the alien race that you are now the Overseer of..

Missing Specialist Terminals? [Discussion]

I've got about 60hrs into a continuation of a previous expedition(2?) and don't seem to be able to build specialist terminals. Is there a mission or other trigger I need to complete to kick that series off? I've completed the main storylines I believe. I've got another save with them all built, so somewhat familiar with them, but can't figure out how to get them on this save. Not sure if just bugged?

Thoughts on a better autosave function? [Discussion]

So I've been trying to play a new save for the first time on survival since Frontiers but I've barely gotten anywhere (just started building a wooden shed) because of crashes rolling me back and waiting for patches. Now I'm not complaining about bugs and crashes, I understand it's a small team and that the internal QA is going to be limited and that these things happen after a big new update and Hello Games are fixing them. But my problem is the save system, in a new game the ONLY way to save is getting out your ship or structure save points, which means if/when the game crashes I can get sent back hours if I forget to save or have wandered off exploring.

I really think there needs to be a background autosave function on a timer or linked to opening/closing menus (like Skyrim) or something, even if you can't reload to those saves in-game and it was only as an emergency backup for crashes. I get what the save system is trying to do but if I'm repeatedly losing progress for no fault of my own it's rather tedious.

Just wanted to vent and see what other people think?

Can we appreciate the settlement prefabs using (mostly) available base building assets? [Discussion]

Something I've always felt about games that involve base building is that they're often improved when the developers have to use many of the same assets as the players do. For one, it makes it much easier for players to build structures that blend into the broader world; for another, I think it encourages developers to provide players with more of what they want.

There's nothing more tortuous than looking at an in-game structure, knowing that the assets are (obviously) in game, and yet knowing you'll never be able to build with those objects. So kudos to Hello Games for this one, and many more pluses to come.

Now when can we decide which wall variant places?

Question for a "basically new" player [Question]

So I played the game at launch. I pumped maybe a dozen hours in and then gave up on the game. I love that the developers have tried to make up for their poor release and have, by all accounts, turned it into a pretty awesome game. I have the game available to me on gamepass now and wanted to hop back in but I know there are a few different modes and stuff now.

My only concern with the game is I'm usually more into quests and stuff rather than building, but I'd love to hop back in. Any tips on where to jump in to?

Constant version mismatch, we need a better way [Discussion]

As the title says really, I had to do most of the frontiers update by myself as my pc friends kept getting updates that weren't pushed out for nearly 2 days.

It keeps happening again, over the past week we've been able to play together twice.

We're both really dismayed by this because we obviously love the game.

Anyone else having this issue?

I would say they should centralise updates, put off PC updates (unless game breaking) until the consoles get approved.

So I was playing yesterday, I land on a planet exit my shop as I am exiting my game on the Xbox crashes. Now when I try to launch it, where you push A from the launch screen it attempts to load then crashes and takes you back to the Xbox home screen.

I don't get to the point to select single player or multi player then where you select on if your saved games. I have multiple been playing for years.

I deleted the game and reinstalled, same results. I deleted the game from my local profile on the Xbox, it trys to launch as it syncs from the cloud but same results it crashes never letting me pick the game or save.

I successfully launched the game from another profile on the Xbox, so I know the game works and is fine, I think my profile is corrupt from the crash right after I got out of my ship and must of sync up with the cloud.

Odd thing encountered in current Expedition… [Bug]

So I’m doing the Cartographer Expedition on the lovely poisonous wonderland of Gisto Major and I’ve encountered an unexpected bug.

I built the Minotaur Geobay as part of the Phase 2 objectives and, because I’m relatively new and wanted to see what it was, built myself a Minotaur (BattleMech go brrrrr!). However, next time I logged in, there’s a Pilgrim parked next to my base. It’s my Pilgrim. I can board it, drive it and upgrade it. But more importantly, I can summon it. And I can summon a Nomad. I haven’t built geobays for either Exocraft (though I did unlock the blueprints for the Nomad Geobay to unlock the Minotaur’s one).

Is this a bug anyone else has experienced or am I just a lucky bastard?

I was never really into mounts in No Mans Sky. [Screenshot]

The Only "animal" I have seen in NMS that you feed batteries, and lets you harvest chewy wires; which promptly tells you it's self repairing for 45 seconds. (blows my mind)

I have logged nearly 1120 hours in No Mans Sky and never seen anything like this. This game still amazes me even after all this time.

Newbie question: how do I sell ships that are not my active ship? [Question]

So I’m basically new to this game β€” I bought it on PS4 at launch and played a bit, but I’ve recently gotten back into it and have done more in the last few days than I ever did prior. I did the Twitch Drops thing to get a new ship and it’s way better than my basic ship. I also found a crashed ship which I grabbed. How do I sell a ship that is not my active ship?

I found the scrapper thingy on a space station, but it doesn’t give me the option to switch to other ships I own in order to sell those. Do I even still own those ships? I selected β€œadd to my collection” when I got the new ship and then summoned it and hopped in to make it my primary ship.

Has a long time builder of the game I have come to thoroughly enjoyed the new build system. [Discussion]

About 2 years ago I built a space station with a giant cannon on top. Wired with about 80 teleporters slammed together. When you would step on the platform it would shoot you off to the neighboring moon.

I doubt will never be able to build something like that again.

When Frontiers dropped I was pretty ticked off. Half the reason I play this game is the building. I have multiple save file backups because when one hits the part limit for the file I will just start a new game. So I felt as if I was robbed. That one of my favorite pastimes had been taken away from me without the option to keep it around.

(On a side note it would be great if there was an option to revert the build system back to legacy. Just as an option)

But since Frontiers my 10-year-old has been building some really amazing structures. He never really knew much about glitch building and everything like that. With the old build system he had a real hard time navigating through everything. Placing parts was annoying and the snap system just caused parts to bounce all over quite often.

He would spend several play sessions just trying to make a decent size building look good.

But since Frontiers he has built himself a sprawling old west/hightech town of stone and wood that looks amazing.

So I've softened up on it quite a bit. For those of us who researched every glitch in every trick to make some of the amazing structures that we will never be able to make again this has been a difficult transition. But for the average user (the majority) who does not research every fine point of building in our old build system it has given them a much more functional and user friendly way to build.

Again it would be nice if you had the option to go back to legacy. Both systems have their merits. But for now I can see that Hello Games spend a lot...

Any abandoned ships in Expedition 3? [Bug]

I need to get off planet, make a few jumps and get a freighter... all without my starter ship!

Why, you might ask? I recently loaded by Expedition 3 save, and found my ship was suddenly 30 minutes away. When I got as close as I could to the ship icon, it was still 500u away... straight down!

Careful when placing teleporters in built-up areas [Bug]

At my settlement, I built a base. With a teleporter, naturally, as this predated 3.66.

So, it grew and grew. Nice little office (the Overseer one is too cramped), so desk, chair, little conference area, plants, a sofa arrangement, an aquarium, and several of the candelabra blooms to provide some light. All window walls. A couple rugs, a glitch or two for decor.

Below that, since this was also to act as a base and there are a few minerals but only one hotspot I didn’t find until later, an array of solar cells and batteries. Utilities, as it were. Two stairs down, a couple geodomes with frost crystal - gotta get the glass material somehow.

So I look at things, and realize the teleporter was sticking out of the wall. No go, have to fix that.

Delete the teleporter. And, with it, went the two couches, the rug, the aquarium, the glitch, two of the candelabra plants - and ALL of the frost crystal plants three floors down.

At least I got all my materials back, but the frost crystal plants had just matured, so I lost out on over 800 frost crystals. And a lot of placement work.

Be careful.

I'm confused about the multiplayer and vehicles mechanic [Question]

Hi,

I started playing NMS expeditions. I found a player base right away and it was fully equipped.

I interacted with the minotaur and exocraft terminals and all sudden I got the ability to summon and fully use their (?) minotaur and their (?) exocraft.

I was confused enough, but when I logged in today I found that my exocraft and my minotaur were painted(???). I did like it, but how in the world other people (I think) changed my vehicle decal??

Actually, are those my vehicles?? Because I didn't build nothing at all and already have both minotaur and exocraft capable of being summoned whenever I want

Coloring base parts [Question]

Playing on Xbox One. Is there any way to set a default color scheme while building? So far I can only place a part, then go back and change its color. I have to this piece by piece.

With the old base parts, once I’d picked a color, every new piece I built used that color until I changed it again. That doesn’t seem to be the case with the Frontier base parts, unless I’m missing a setting somewhere.

Also, despite the last update saying it had fixed the issue, I still have numerous base parts that don’t change color.

Removing Settlement Buildings [Question]

So I got an option to build a marketplace at my settlement. Thinking that it might provide something different than my existing marketplace, I approved it. Many hours later, it turns out it's the exact same building. The alternative option had been another storage depot; since those don't do anything, I opted for the marketplace option.

Anyway, I was wondering if there's some way to remove a settlement building. It seems like a waste to have two marketplaces. It would be better to have two starship ports or something. Has anyone here maxed out their settlement buildings? Could anyone confirm whether we'd be able to remove/replace some of the buildings we've built?

Your thoughts on my way of farming money in very early-game? [Discussion]

Ok, noob here. I'm very early game, with only 36 hours of playtime, but I discovered a really easy way to farm Units in the millions. This is done through Nanites. So let's get to a method I found, which requires minimal manual labor. Okie dokie, let me explain.

After making my first jump through a black hole, I ended up in a system where I immediately went to its space station. Inside I found an NPC which trades 65,159 Units for 15 Nanites.

Out of sheer coincidence, I built my first base literally in front of a batch of curious deposits of Runaway Mould. Let's get to the math.

​

  • By farming each batch, I receive 5815 Runaway Mould.

  • Putting them into a Portable Refiner makes exactly 1162 Nanite Clusters. I split the stack in two and put them in two Portable Refiners.

  • Now I have the 1162 Nanites, I warp to the station and trade them for Units from the NPC (65,159 U for 15 Nanites), therefore making exactly 5,047,650 Units per batch of Runaway Mould.

  • I warp back and repeat.

​

The Runaway Mould respawns way faster than I trade it, making this a lucrative venture, as long as one has the patience of skimming through the dialogue every time (exactly 77 times per batch). Yes, it gets tedious, but it seems to be worth it in early game, because no manual labor.

Opinions? Am I onto something here, or is this method too much of a hassle compared to easier methods?

​

Is it possible to use the old kb/mouse movement? [Question]

I decided to try NMS again after a long break, and unfortunately I'm finding that they've changed how basic movement works in a way that makes it pretty unbearable for me. There are two problems, and they each compound with each other to make the other one worse:

The 3rd-person camera is constantly turning itself towards where the character is facing. This makes it very difficult to say, strafe around an enemy or obstacle while looking at it - you have to be constantly fighting the camera to turn it back to where you're trying to look.

The character will not run in a straight line up or down a hill. They will turn themselves to run parallel to the hill. This occurs in 1st person and in 3rd person - W does not move you forward in the direction your camera is facing, it will move you in the direction your character is facing. If you try running in a straight line by just pressing W without messing with the camera at all, you will end up meandering in random directions according to the landscape.

The two of these things combined make it so that moving anywhere at all outdoors is a constant chore. You are constantly fighting the movement controls in order to go towards where you want to go, and you are simultaneously constantly fighting the camera controls to look where you want to look.

Last time I played, the movement and camera controls functioned like any other game. I was able to just run in a straight line when I wanted to, and use the strafe controls to look one direction while moving another. Now the game doesn't want to let me do either - is there a toggle hidden somewhere in the settings that will let me turn off these changes? The "can't run straight" part is just annoying but the "can't look where you want" part is ruining the game for me. The amount of mouse movement required to constantly fight the camera is aggravating my wrist and the game...

Two questions regarding my first ship swap: Should I scrap my starter ship and do I keep blueprints for bought modules? [Question]

So I've been playing for maybe 10h and I feel it's time for a new ship. Got about 2.5 mill units and I feel I could get something better with that. Or should I keep on saving up for something even better maybe?

Oh well, the main questions I have: Should I scrap my starter ship? It's only valued at about 350k units, but I dunno, I've read you get some nanites, but maybe it's better to exchange it upon buying my new ship...

2nd question that bothers me the most: I've bought 3 different S class modules (probably a pretty dumb thing to do) that I fear losing. If I dismantle these before scrapping/exchanging my ship, do I keep blueprints for these, or do I have to buy new upgrade modules for the new ship?

Thanks in advance guys. I've owned the game since launch, was like many others really dissapointed, but now it's just amazing!

Oh, well... those graphical glitches when depth of field is active. Most noticeable when you're talking to a NPC. Is there a way to fix it? [Question]

I've seen in several NMS videos, screenshots etc. Plenty of famous NMS youtubers had it.

Well, I didn't... until this afternoon. Since I started playing the game, some months ago, never had this issue, but it seems I was finally caught.

I think it wasn't introduced somehow by the latest patch, as I played this morning without issues. So, since it's a pretty known issue... is there something I can do? I'm amazed by the fact it started like this, so suddenly. Nothing -- absolutely nothing -- has changed on my PC in the last days, either hardware or software-wise.

Wanting to take my time, trying to avoid rushing through upgrades, so I have a question. [Question]

So I recently started the game and I have a save I have put a bit of time into but as soon as I got access to the nexus I found that I was farming lots of tech modules to unlock stuff en masse. As I progessed a bit through the story I realized a lot of what I was unlokcing could have been unlocked from progressing the story. Furthermore I feel I unlocked so many quality of life improvements so quickly I may have skipped over some of the fun of the game (for me)

So now I am wanting to start over, and I was curious if there is a list of technology/buildings/etc that can or cannot be obtained through missions, merchants at minor settlements, etc. More or less I wanna know what I have to buy from the nexuss and what I can naturally find through quests and exploration.

​

I want to take my time with this game, I am enjoying it greatly and am in absolutely no rush to finish it any time soon. So any help here will be GREATLY appreciated.

Why am I taking a 19% penalty to crop yields? [Question]

Bit of a weird one here and I can't find anything about it through searching Google, youtube, etc.

I played a long time back, around 2.0, and I've recently come back to try Foundations. When I quit I was starting a farm, so I've continued along that path.

However, instead of the 50/100/200 produce I should harvest from plants, I'm getting 41/81/162.

I can't for the life of me figure out why, or what I need to do to remove the 19% penalty. This happens across all planets and on my freighter, and it doesn't seem to be affected by my exosuit technology.

I portalled to the system, then warped out of it. I saved it then turned it off for 3 hours.

I then warped to a system, saved, warped, saved etc until my 5th jump would be the freighter spawn, then jumped back to my preferred system. No defense event spawned.

I reloaded the last save, then have spent the last few hours jumping, saving etc, but no freighter defence has started.

Clip Grid shifted downwards when I teleported away? [Question]

Hello all,

Bought the game a few days ago on a whim and I've really been enjoying it so far! My biggest issue by far has been trying to use the building menu. I've had a ton of issues getting things to work, but my biggest issue yet is that I've found a place I'd like to build a base, so I started building away for a few hours. I ran out of materials, so I teleported to another planet to get more Carbon, and when I came back, it seems like none of my building blocks want to snap to the right location, they are all snapping slightly lower than before, as seen below:

https://preview.redd.it/b0lxbdf17jn71.png?width=2560&format=png&auto=webp&s=0822b6ae4f9d3c532d542e0e20707b734a48dcfe

Is there any way to fix this, short of shifting my entire base down that tiny little bit? And if not, how do I make absolutely certain that it never happens again? It is worth noting that I am building the base a wall's height above the ground, to avoid terrain regeneration.

Thanks!

p.s. if you have any good resources on building, this base came after the failure of 3-4 other bases trying to use prefab and cuboid sets, I've had an extremely hard time finding guides or videos that are current, so feel free to share.

HG should add more varation, it would give us a reason to explore again. They to add the varation he showed off in that game informer interview. This would really add to the uniqueness of the game, He can do the same thing with ships like he showed off and plants as well. I hope someday they add in his proc gen. It really would make each planet look different. Maybe even go as far as once you use one asset of an animal or ship, don't use it again. We also need crazier looking animals that look more alien which was their original vision for the game. It would give us a reason to explore again and go toward the center. If we ever get another variation update this is what I would love to see. It would also give us a reason to exlore again especially if HG went with their original idea of the closer we get to the center the crazier the proc. generation would get.

Question for anyone with a base overlooking a settlement... [Question]

So I know that when Frontiers first launched, you couldn't build a base close to a settlement. If you did, your settlement would be bugged and you wouldn't get more missions, events, etc there. Now I know they made it so you have to build the base computer farther away than before, but you can still build base buildings overlooking a settlement. So my question is for people who have done so: have you encountered anything stopping your progress at the settlement you built close to? Or is it just if you build your house actually in the settlement? I found an amazing settlement with a cliff on the outskirts, but I don't want to start a huge build until I know I won't be screwed doing so. XD

My girlfriend and I are going to start on our series X consoles soon. Do we both have to finish the tutorial first before we can play together. Last time we tried playing I would get attacked by things I couldn't see but she could. Super annoying and the weather never matched up either. Sometimes she'd have a storm but I would t and vice versa. I just wanna be able to play it with her and experience the same things.

Version Mismatch? [Question]

My family and I have all been playing No Mans Sky, and we've wanted to play together. My niece (Xbox One) and my brother (PC Game Pass) have both been able to group together, but I (PC Game Pass) keep getting Version Mismatch when I try to join either of them, or they try to join me. I would think that I'd be able to play with my brother at least, since we're both on the PC and we're both using Game Pass, so it makes no sense. Both of us have deleted and reinstalled the game, and have gotten the recent updates, so I'm not sure what else to do or what's going on.

So, I've been using the portable construction research unit so far to buy blueprints for things...and up until a few moments ago it looked like the atlas' construction interface, with all the different refiners and portable mineral extract unit, etc...and now the portable construction research unit is back to the original interface where it's only offering me to buy only the most basic technology and structure parts.

Any tips for taming the build camera mess? [Discussion: Build issues]

I've been trying to do a bit of building, and i'm really getting fed up with the build camera.

  1. In 3rd person, the camera seems closer to the player than it used to be. The player covers about 1/4 of the screen, and part of that almost certainly overlaps where you're trying to place a decoration. Solution is to go 1st person, but that's kind of a cop out for bad camera placement. I think our 3rd person player is too close most of the rest of the game too, and i use a Gek. Is there an option to move the camera that i just haven't seen?

  2. That moving build options menu has GOT to go. It's in the way like 99% of the time. It's literally on top of your wires when you're placing them, and often on decorations too. If it must be there, lock it to a top corner? I mean, really. Is there an off button i'm too dumb to notice?

  3. 3.66 made the zooming in/out camera in 3rd person much, much worse. It looks like a tiktok music video when i'm just standing there trying to look at something, or place an item in build mode. Am i just stuck with going to First Person every time i build?

I have other issues (like how testing placement on items is important, i'm looking at you Elaborate Tapestry, and anything with an off-center base), but i'm not sure how to voice them to Hello Games, so i'm sticking to ones that may have a more local fix. But i'll take advice on that, too. I'm not trying to yell at them, i just feel like there's some tweaks that could be made and i'm only seeing things get a little worse over time.

No Man's Sky Freezing and Closing/Crashing after [Bug]

I'm playing on xbox game pass, I usally play for an hour at least, then I will be just randomly walking and the game freezes, the background ambient noise is still playing but I can't move or do anything else, probably just the background music is stuck in a loop. After that the game automatically closes. It's extremely frustrating because I lose hours of progress, last time I was literally meters from my ship going to save and the game crashed, I almost threw something out the window.

I already updated my graphics card driver to the latest driver and I haven't had anything else running in the backgroud.

What should I do? I really like the game, but I'm considering never playing again because of this.

Any advice in making settlements pop on your preferred planet? [Question]

I've been trying for hours, to the point that I'm taking a break from the game for sheet frustration, to get a settlement to pop on my home planet. I finally got it to do so by going to a different planet and using the map and low and behold it spawned on my paradise world. Only to get back via my ship and have the game crash as I exited my shit to visit my newfound settlement, not saving and sending me back to the other planet, where all future attempts resulted in the settlement spawning on that planet. I came back from a long break just for this update, and the last thing I want to do is hang out on a sentinel infested fire planet suffering that torture again.

Does anyone know of a surefire trick that works better than just reloading? I don't think I can handle it anymore.

A few more things I'd like to see for No Man's Sky [Suggestion]

  1. Stop it with the popups Sean. I know I have an egg that is ready to hatch. I have 4 of them. Tell me once and never again. Same thing goes for all the 'hint' popups. On a save with 4k+ hours, I know how to take off and exit my ship.

1.5) Disable hints button.

  1. Scrappable Photon Cannon. I like the Rockets and Infra knife. Give me that slot back so I can jam less useless crap in there. I don't even want it as a backup. There's no resource for ship weapons anymore, it's not needed. And the switch weapons forces you to cycle to your crappy cannon when you really wanted to daka daka their ass.

  2. No more cycling 'objectives'. I know I can talk to Nada and Polo after entering a new galaxy for the first time. I know, and they say Nada so stop telling me 'Talk to Nada' followed by 'Settlement running smoothly' and finally 'Build the Nautilon' before repeating yourself.

  3. Fix the jumbling inventory when buying and selling. I've been trying to sell fossils and artifacts before and suddenly sell my stack of various fuels or storm crystals. Or worse, sulphides or pearls. Either the jumbling needs to get fixed or the UI needs to change. New Vegas has a pretty good one if Hello Games ever sees this.

  4. More crops. Delving into the most dangerous ecosystems known to the universe to find wheat or fruit is ridiculous. I can grow literal balls of GRAVITATIONAL ANOMALY but not peppers? And it seems I can only find Heptaploid Wheat, you might wanna change that name, on either radiation or extreme heat planets.

  5. Companions should still be able to provide their foodstuffs. If it can be harmlessly extracted, let us extract. Not sure about 'leopard fruit', but everything else seems like we should be able to harvest from our companions. I have several that provided me with very useful agricultural goods. Milk, for one. Eggs. Grease. What, did they just...

Hard crash and xbox shutdown on series s [Bug]

Well now it would appear that with this latest 3.66 patch that for the first time ever NMS literally caused a hard crash that froze my xbox series s machine and caused the machine to shut itself off.

My machine is only four months old and I keep it very clean and dust free as much as possible.

And all I was doing was exploring a planet by piloting my ship to land and as I was doing that the game froze, the game lost control of the graphics and made it look like it was fuzzy white dots from top to bottom, that was scary enough.

At that point I got to the home screen of my Xbox only to find I lost control there as well, then the machine shut itself off and I feared the worst that my machine might not turn back on at all because of NMS hard crashing my series s machine.

Now I know how the owners of series x machines feel when I've read that NMS is also doing the same to them.

Because of this I have decided to uninstall and stop playing NMS. I literally can not afford NMS potentially or even possibly causing my machine to break, I can not afford to buy another machine if NMS caused the machine to brick itself.

I understand it's a small team at hello games, but perhaps hello games needs to hire quite a few more people to properly alpha and beta test this game and put it through it's paces.

Soft crashes back to home page on consoles or desktop on PC is one thing, but when a game is hard freezing your game console to the point the machine shuts down, or hard locks your PC to the point it might shut itself off as well, that's pretty bad. I used to play NMS on the original VCR sized xbox one and it never even hard crashed that machine, just a lot of soft crashes.

I will be putting in a bug report to hello games about this as it is a rather serious issue.

Has anyone figured out companions? [Question]

So, I have been a big fan of the addition of companions - I didn't think it would be y thing, but the variety of animal life eats up hours of my time and the only complaint thus far has been the limited companion tame slots.

However, I have not been able to properly understand, or find resources, that explain the mechanics behind a lot of the companion stuff. I took a peek at a save editor to see what I could find and noticed that companions have flags called 'types' - the biological horror we just got is a 'PlayerPredetor'. However, the Dino from the Twitch Drops is marked as 'Passive' - and I can't seem to find anything that influences or controls their abilities or behaviours.

If I want an aggressive companion to fight (attack what I attack), should it have high helpfulness, high aggression, and high devotion?

Eager to know what others have worked out as I really want to enjoy it more, but the lack of information or any logic/explanation on what things do really annoys me sometimes.

Players Running NMS from Steam: Possible Fix for Crashing Issues. [Information]

If you're playing from Steam, I might have a fix if you're having crashing problems. The TLDR version is, the problem (or at least one of the problems) is Steam itself. And the solution is to create a shortcut to the NMS executable and place it somewhere handy, exit out of Steam entirely, and launch the game directly without Steam running. Also, make sure you don't have any programs running in the background that use GPU acceleration, like most modern browsers.

Here's where to find the executable......\Steam\steamapps\common\No Man's Sky\Binaries\NMS.exe

Here's how I figured this out:First I noticed that if I had any web browser open when I launched NMS that it would crash immediately after load-in. This got me thinking that maybe NMS didn't like anything competing with its gfx card memory. Sometimes I like to watch movies and stuff on my second monitor while I'm playing. Most browsers use your gfx card to accelerate rendering the UI and content. There's usually an option to turn this off somewhere in the advanced settings of the browser. When I turned it off in my browser, it stopped crashing on load-in.

But then I noticed it did the same thing if I launched the game from the Steam UI instead of right-clicking on the Steam icon in the system tray and choosing NMS from the recently played list. Steam also uses GPU acceleration and there's an option to turn it off in the Steam settings. Again, that stopped the crash on load-in...

Is there a way I can get this freighter and not lose it on my save? [Question]

Shortened version -> xbox series x. I need 40M units to buy a 34/9 freighter I'm standing on. Is it possible to get in any way? I have another save with plenty enough or can I farm in system and not lose it?

Ok so I came back to this game after a good while and decided to just restart. So I looked up how to gain some units fast to catch up to my old 60 hour save at least a little and did some chlorine farming to get started. Decided to get decent A class everything with semi decent slots and get rolling. A class multi tool, check. Really crappy A class shuttle, I'll upgrade when I see something so check. Oh ok its time for my free freighter since I've already skipped the first couple. Let me try for an A class with decent slots.

After 3 attempts I'm finishing up the last ship and accidentally damage the freighter... apparently this destroys your chance of getting it free? Well I land and it's an S class 34+9 but I have to buy it. It's 178,000,000 and I only have 139,000,000. I would really hate to miss a starting freighter this good. Can I possibly transfer from my other save (same xbox account. I could use different xbox consoles themselves though) to make up the difference? Could someone else lend me the units temporarily?

I even restarted the game and input the portal code again to make sure the loot pool could refresh and I was in the correct system. Exact same results. Are these glyphs wrong? Has the ship loot pool changed since this was posted on NMSCE in July? Am I missing something? Thanks for the help.

Nooooo! Living ship restarted [Bug]

I was down to the last stage.

Logged back into my main.

Spent some time scrapping ships and upgrading an exotic I'd bought right before expeditions.

While flying in that exotic, I encountered a living ship, and thought it was the final stage--but it was restarting the mission.

It may have been because the already activated egg was in my other ship? But I didn't even think I had an egg in this new ship. Maybe someone gave me one when I was in the Anomaly?

But now all the work that went into grinding for the living ship is re-set and I'm back at stage 1.

Here's my situation, I'm a returning player after playing off and on since launch. (not because I didn't love it, I was one of the few people that has been infatuated with this game since the first trailer came out. just loss of consoles, internet etc.) I have my original save file that has over a billion units and a freighter with probably about 500 million units worth of resources, just crazy stuff I've gathered over the first couple of years. Built a base that has since disappeared along with all the stuff I had in storage there. At this point, I feel like a beginner. I have 2 other saves, one I started with my brother that hasn't gotten past building the first part of the base, and the other being the Expedition that I'm probably a day away from finishing. Is there any reason I should keep going on the Expedition save after I finish it?

I absolutely hate the expeditions. [Discussion]

Let me preface this by saying that I really love this game. But I absolutely loathe the expeditions, I didn't care for the first one and game up on it pretty quick, and have just started the newest one, I've just spent 3 hours trying to fix this stupid ship, wandering across this desolate planet, hoping I'll be able to leave soon. But nope. I can't wrap my head around how anyone finds this fun. It's like they've taken the most tedious aspects of the game and forced you to do an even longer more annoying version of it. Offering almost nothing new to the experience at all.

I might as well just have started a new game because I would have had more fun. I'm genuinely annoyed and angry at myself for spending hours of my time doing essentially nothing. Rehashing something I've already experienced under the guise of something new. Could someone enlighten me as to what the hell you're getting out of this?

Xbox PC Manual Save? [Question]

TL;DR It seems the PC version on xbox game pass doesn't have a manual save option. Is there a way for me to revert to the manual save on the PC xbox version?

I'm trying to upgrade the initial ship to S class for fun, so I was farming nanite scrapping ships. Long story short, the game glitched and effectively scrapped the base ship. However, the ship was still there, just with different contents. In an attempt to reset the ship, I had hopped in and out, which autosaved. I had manually saved just 2 hours earlier with a save point. I want to revert to that, but it seems the PC version on xbox game pass doesn't have a manual save option. Is there a way for me to revert to the manual save? (I see the file in my file explorer, but if I try to manipulate that folder, the game just resyncs data with Xbox Live before I can load that save). Any ideas? Thanks.

Earth Like Planet Help. [Question]

Ive spent about 4-6 hours of just jumping from system to system looking for an Earth like planet. I’ve been looking in yellow systems with water already marked. But I just can’t find one that meets my criteria (Blue sky/ocean with green grass, trees, and minimal sentinel activity).

Settlement Mini Map and Actual Functionality [Discussion]

Hi everyone,

I delved into settlement management and expansion plans take most of my time recently, for just like everyone else.

And i found out there is so much potential here, with all those various types of buildings, we could have a lot more interaction, both with the buildings and the residents.

"Nightclub" is what i like to call is semi interactive but cool. Fully working landing pad is nice to have too.

What else would you like to have in your settlement and/or what type of building in your settlement need more interactive options?

​

My second point; after a time, when your settlement expands, it gets difficult to keep track of the layout as it is predetermined and rather cramped. I think, especially if we get more options to meddle with, a settlement minimap would be a great addition to find what you are actually looking for. Right now, i dont know what building is there for, when i stare at it from outside, heck i dont even get it when i'm inside...

Your thoughts?

Main quest made me cry [Spoiler]

Don't wanna attach this to my main account for reasons

The part where you can choose whether to keep Artemis living in a sim, or put him down, actually made me cry. I've never cried in a game before. I really want to commend the writing in this game.. it wasn't just the choice, which they made easier by saying "he might suffer if he finds out he's in a simulation" - it was the fact that I've had to make a similar choice before, and I chose how I'd want someone to choose for me, the same way I chose before - to end it. That's all pretty mundane. But the kind words and comments the quest NPCs make after you make the choice is what actually did it for me. It was so subtle, understanding, but brief - it hurts, we understand the choice, and let's not dwell on it. It was perfect. Just wanted others to appreciate how nicely done that was, since I can't even describe how much I appreciate it, but I do.

More ways to blow units! [Discussion]

I've spent a bunch of hours expanding my activated indium farm, for no reason besides it's been a fun project. After a certain point, we don't really think about units after we hit that 100mil or so.

I'd love to see HG introduce a mechanic that would give the future day Scrooge McDucks an opportunity to go full MC Hammer on some type of investment or project (like buying abandoned space stations for like 2 bil and turning them around, something like that).

I could be missing something but outside of ship hunting, exosuit cargo expansion and just buying resources, there really isn't too much units do in more advanced saves. I absolutely love this game but just my 2 cents.

I don't quite understand why in this procedurally generated universe where every planet is supposed to be different, hazardous flora and crystals look the same on every planet? [Discussion]

It simply ruins the immersion. Why can rocks, trees, flowers, animals all be different but for some reason this poisonous balloon plant thing appears on every planet. Same with di-hydrogen, carbon and nitrogen crystals. Couldn't those material just appear in randomized rocks all over the planet? I can understand why objects of interests, like curious deposits, metal fingers or knowledge stones look the same but there is no reason for stuff like hazardous flora to appear on every planet and look exactly the same. This seems like such a quick fix that would instantly improve exploration.

Expedition 3 - 2nd Playthrough Question [Question]

Sorry if this has been answered before, haven’t seen anything posted about it though, but after watching various streamers do the Expedition and doing it myself it seems everyone is assigned a random character, multi-tool, and exotic ship when starting the Expedition.

I liked my initial load out when I started the Expedition, but now that I’m about finished with it I started a second Expedition save to do it all again for fun and also to see what other random load out I’m assigned. For example I was originally given a guppy exotic and was going to try starting new saves until I got a squid like some other players have gotten, then I’d delete any of the extra saves if I didn’t get the squid on the first try.

Lo and behold I load into my second save and I’m given the exact same character, multi-tool, and ship as my first save. I created a third Expedition save just to make sure and sure enough got the exact same load out as the other two.

Anyone else had success getting a different load out on a subsequent play through? Or did HG generate it based on my player account so no matter how many times I start the Expedition I’ll get the exact same load out?

It’s not that big a deal since once I get the glyphs I could just go get a squid and different multi-tool using NMSCE, but it kinda detracts from the fun of subsequent play through of the Expedition…

As the title suggest, I am having a weird issue where nothing happens when I press RT on my controller inside my ship, and when I am outside my ship the RT button registers normally and my laser fires just fine, so it seems to specifically be an issue with Thrust not working when inside the ship.

I've looked at the gamepad settings through the steam configuration, and I don't see any reason for why it's not working.

I've also changed settings, and of course tried restarting my game multiple times after trying different settings, but nothing seems to work.

Settlement Production Theory [Discussion]

Ok guys, so I have a theory and need help testing it. I have seen people posting how their settlements produces almost useless things while others produce fairly valuable goods and I want to get to the bottom of what affects that.

My running theory is that it is based on the margin between productivity and maintenance. For example, if you have a 200,000 unit difference you'll end up with items that value roughly 200,000 units.

I only have my own settlement to gather info, so if you guys could help me by letting me know how close this lines up with your own settlements I'd really appreciate it.

Expedition merchandise idea [Suggestion]

I think HG should sell limit run expedition merchandise during the time when expeditions are active. This would insure each period offers different items keeping things fresh. These could include Tshirts, hoodies, mugs, posters, pins, etc with the reward badges/decals on them. Or items that include the starting planets and such or anything uniqueto that expedition season. Physical badges would be cool too.

I'm sure some community members and fans would love to buy such items to hang on their walls and such to show off an event they took part in.

I know the previous expeditions have required a few jumps before you can get to the rendezvous points. Could this be due to the servers being down (I noticed that there was no one in the anomoly today again)

Also, yesterday while walking around a space station I received an " expedition complete" message even though I still had four items left to complete. Had to restart it in order to continue the expedition.

Can No Longer Exchange Crashed Ships Unlimited Times [Question]

I'll admit I took a break for awhile and missed several updates. I'm back to play Expedition 3. I didn't want to track down all the patches and read through the notes so thought I would ask here.

On my expedition I found a crashed ship. Normally I would bring it to a space station, trade it for another ship, scrap the trade, and reclaim the crashed ship. To my surprise the crashed ship was gone after I traded. Did they patch this exploit? or was it an expedition thing? I normally do this to get a bunch of storage slots for my ship at low cost.

Would you be for or against doubling the amount of galaxies in the game from 255 to 510? [Discussion]

I ask because on one hand, it would bring a truly unfathomable amount of new content and planets and moons to explore in the game. But on the other hand, getting BACK to Euclid by cycling through all the galaxies would take twice as long for any player who wants to cycle back to Euclid, and getting back to Euclid takes quite a bit of effort as it is.

Your thoughts?

No penalty for killing NPCs? [Question]

New to the game. I have about 20 hours in so far. So, I can literally destroy freighters and steal their cargo. Sell cargo for units and upgrade my ship. Yeah I guess I get a bad standing but it seems that is easy to improve as well too. Killing the reinforcements is too easy. I can farm all this loot for almost no effort. Does this kind of gameplay go unpunished? A wanted level system or bounty system would be nice. I expected more of a challenge.

Possible bug or intended? My Settlement is only letting me build Power Generator buildings, currently building my 6th of this type of building. [Discussion]

My last four buildings have only been Power Generator rooms. I haven't been given a choice of two to choose from. Before patch 3.66 I had built two others, so I now have a total of six of the exact same type of building. What's more is that the buildings are bugged by being empty inside, they're just small empty sheds with no generators inside, or anything else.

I was hoping for a bit more variety in buildings than this. Has anyone else having a similar scenario and are your Power Generator rooms also completely empty inside?

Expeditions 3 Odd Ship Recall Behavior [Information]

During Expedition 3, 2nd phase, I visited a building with a telescope and a numbers pattern test. You know the type, observatory. Near the save point flag outside there is also a vertical post for recalling your ship. Just screwing around I clicked it and recalled my ship and it worked. It shouldn't have, my ship wasn't repaired well enough to fly at that point and can't launch or recall by any other means that I found. Just seemed really odd to me and probably shouldn't have happened, but in the right circumstances could be very useful.

Switching Settlements [Question]

In my big save (500+ hours), I originally started out at one settlement, but found another one on a planet I liked better. So, 5 days ago I paid my 3 Gek Nip (as it was in a Gek system, obviously) and became overseer of the new settlement, renouncing my old one. In those 5 days, I have not received a single request to do anything... no construction requests, no disputes to resolve, no policy decisions to make, no new arrivals to greet... nothing.

I've tried searching for an answer and even the Wiki doesn't have anything, just that you have to pay to switch settlements and that sometimes, if you have a settlement on another save, it can be glitchy. So, I thought I'd pose the question here to see if anyone has come across this yet and has any advice.

I do not have a save from before I made the switch.

I have 5 solar arrays and 5 batteries.

A.N. I have minor dyslexia and use word. Really wish I didn’t have to type this but there are some people who pull up my grammar as a means to win arguments…

Ok so for months I’ve been waiting for expedition 3 like many people and now that’s it’s hear after playing the second one it kind of, doesn’t really live up to the expectations from the first two.

Ok, rewards from expedition 1 an S class fighter ship, expedition 2, the SR2 normandy, expedition 3, decorations…

That feels like a downgrade from the other two, ok what did I get to do in expidition2, and I assume expidition1?

Explore the starts, have fun with frigates, solve a space mystery. Team up and venture forth…

Now expedition 3

Welcome to planet HELL

You are land locked on an extremly toxic planet and the devs want you to find all 12 types of rocks, hide from the constant storms in a cave, fix your ship which requires exotic components that you can’t make because there locked behind progress walls such as the aforementioned rocks.

Find a settlement using your helmet but know the further you walk away from your ship the further you have to go back, that is until you fix the landing gear, all it costs is some copper (2000 units away) to refine and for you to build a base and provide 150 units of power to it, however the new update might have made things squiffy on the xbox one x as walls you place down might not actually be there and you can walk through them.

And because the walls aren’t actually their but seem like there their that good old toxicity counter will constantly tick down because you can’t properly shelter from the storms.

It’s not like you might want to bring a friend or worse your significant other in to an expedition to show the fabulous prises you might get.

Feature Request: companion slot at each base so we can load one of our pets into the base and it is active every time we are there. [Suggestion]

This option could be added at the base computer. Basically a companion slot that we can drag one of them into. Or one of the troughs that have been recently added into the game. You build and select the trough. Then select which animal you want to be in your base

What would be even better is if when we load the pet into our base it removes it from our companion index. That way each one of our bases can have a pet and we can still travel around with the full six.

Messed up getting perfect settlement. [Information]

I just came across my perfect planet. Excitedly, I flew to the space station and bought a settlement map. I used it and the result was a settlement on another planet. Bummed, but optimistic, I got in my ship and flew a distance away. I landed and used another settlement map hoping this time a settlement will appear on my planet. Nope. The map could not be used because a similar structure was already found. Worriedly, I tried using the map in another location, both on my planet and off world, which produced the same results. Apparently, settlements are not on every planet. Had I know, I would have reloaded immediately after the first attempt did not produce the settlement on my planet. Now my only option is to comb the stars looking for the perfect planet again and try again. If you are going to hunt for a new settlement, don’t do what I did.

More "Transparency" with base building stats. [Suggestion]

Bases are great, planets to build them on are different for each player yet almost endless for each player too. And so its a thing people do a lot unless they really just dont like base building.

However there are some limits to the base building, for example. How far out you can extend the base, how many parts can be uploaded to servers, and how much terrain edit data is saved. I believe, to the best of my knowledge, that these values are never presented to the player, when they REALLY should be.

​

For example:

At your base computer, it could tell you how many placed parts you have (and the upload limit)

You could see somewhere how much terrain edit you have left.

And in build mode, a wall of light could surround the 1000u radius around the base and appear as you get close to it.

These UI changes would make a big difference in the information the player recieves around base building. One can know the 3000 upload limit, but who is keeping count? And really, should the player be the one keeping count in a physical note, like a tally for each base part they place? NO that's ridiculous. And so the info would be good to know.

New to PCVR - optimal settings for NMS on Oculus Quest 2 with a 3080? [Question]

Hi all, I am very new to PCVR gaming and am struggling to get good fps on NMS on my Quest 2. I have a RTX 3080 and a 5600x CPU. I have a dedicated 5GHz band with WiFi 6 for the Oculus, and my PC is hard-wired in. I have my Oculus set to 120hz refresh rate at the max resolution - I'm assuming that is driving most of the issues. It's definitely unplayable at that level. But I'm also a bit overwhelmed with the options in the graphics settings of the game itself. So two questions; Oculus Quest 2 players, what refresh rate and resolution do you use for similar GPU/CPU? Is this entirely set on the Oculus, or do you set it in SteamVR or in-game at all? Can anyone share optimal in-game graphics settings for similar hardware?

Question on multiplayer and base building [Question]

Hey all, I’m new to the game and had a question on base building and multiplayer.

I’m still in the tutorial just built the warp drive and went to a new system too, so maybe this will be all explained (also tried googling the answer for a bit and did not see much).

My question is basically how does base building work with multiplayer? Specifically building on the same planet. More specifically if I see a really cool planet in the coordinates subreddit and want to build there, will I not be able to because everyone already got there first?

I’ve also only played single player, so am not familiar with how multiplayer works. Does my single player stuff carry over if I load the save in multiplayer?

Found a planet I named Cash [Discussion]

I've been playing this game for a week and I love it. Was doing a Nexus mission and whenever it sends me to a new system I always explore each planet and I happened to land on this moon and it was a firey hell planet so I figured I'd get some scans like I normally do and then dip out because you know screw firey hell planets but something told me to pull out my scanner again so I did and I found storm crystals so now I'm running my unit grubbing hands together bout to farm some crystals, but then I kept scanning and I found what I had been looking for ever since I saw that video on nanites farming. I had found runaway mold before and discovered that you can refine it down to nanities but I didn't know at the time I should have build a base around them and forgot what planet I found them on and have been searching ever since. I tagged it and get packed over and found a nice size group. I built a base around them with six refiners all the while dodging sentinels and now I'm in business. I stepped out my door did another quick scan and found another deposit thirty seconds away. Needless to say two hours later I've made 40 million dollars and over 20,000 nanites and I'm going at a snails pace. Soon I'll have my new freighter.

It's there an official reason why there isn't a planetary mapping system? [Question]

I'm sorry if this is an old topic but I'm relatively new to the game and I couldn't find any answers about this when I searched.

This game has become something fairly incredible but I'm completely stumped by the fact that you are a person who's only job seems to be exploring and despite have galactic making capabilities, a limited suit-born artificial intelligence assistant, a suite of scanning abilities and an integrated UI to display their results, that you can't pull out Google maps to tell you if that thing you found was over to the left or to the right. This isn't even taking into account the fact that you're apparently in regular contact with an advanced alien cartographer's guild!

So my question is this: what gives?! Have they said what their reasoning is for not implementing a simple mapping system?

The Airing of the Good-Natured Grievances 2021.09.15 [Meta]

I love NMS, and there are probably as many of my own failings here as the game's, but... Apparently wanting an alloy staircase from your alloy first floor to your alloy second floor is an unreasonable request. My frigate captains can navigate the stars, negotiate trade deals and win battles, but nobody knows how to go to the friggin' gas station. I have yet to successfully wire up a circular ceiling lamp or a power door switch. Telling me to land on an ocean planet and then not putting at least a postage stamp sized island on it seems like kind of a dick move. It's like you put a blind person in a round room and told them to go sit in the corner. Suddenly you can put commerce terminals anywhere but teleporters almost nowhere. Building a wood structure on a planet with no trees: error or a low-key flex? Quit telling me The Overseer is at my old base. I dematerialized him, his roid-raged but useless armourer buddy and that emo toaster of a scientist over 50 hours ago.

I thank you for your time.

Questions about freighters [Question]

Hello, I am returning from a fairly long break and forgot some specifics about freighters.

  1. Is the combat encounter when warping based on time, number of warps, or a percent chance for every warp.

  2. Is there a difference (ex:class/slots) between the peaceful freighters and the ones you need to defend?

  3. Does the economy or race of a system have any affect on stats.

Thank you in advance.

[Update Concept] Companions, Part 2 [Fan Work]

[Note: had some ideas of things that could add a lot of depth to the companion system, so I threw together a quick update concept (unfortunately not one of those pretty ones with images)]

Several new features have been added which allows companions to take a larger role in your galactic explorations, developing friendships with them like never before!

Nature and Nurture

In addition to tailoring companion traits at the egg sequencer, companions have newly added Unique Traits which develop in your interactions with them and the diet you feed them as they grow up. These new traits have a chance to be passed on to offspring, and some genetically passed traits might emerge as particularly rare variations, affording better job results and higher pageant scores.

[Note: I imagine these traits working a little bit like Settlement traits do, but with practical side effects. For instance, a companion with a β€œHyperactive” trait may move quicker. A companion with a β€œPerforms Complex Calculations” trait may perform jobs more efficiently, etc.]

Treats Galore

You can now feed any food item to your companions. They may refuse certain dishes depending on their tastes, and unique traits may develop depending on the diet you offer them as they grown into adults.

Toys and Games

Toys have been added as a new way of interacting with your creature. Play games of fetch, catch, tug-of-war, or even hide objects for creatures to sniff out. The way you play with your creature as it grows up will allow it to develop unique traits.

[Note: Toys and Games function in the same way as the diet does; special traits may develop dependent on the types of interactions you prioritize.]

Companion Pageants

A new Iteration has arrived at the anomaly! They proclaim themself a fauna specialist and invites travelers from across the galaxies to partake in Companion Pageants!...

Favorite personal milestones/goals? [Discussion]

What are some of your favorite personal milestones or goals in No Mans Sky? I’ve recently gotten a little bored with the game as I tend to prefer games that give you a bit more direction and I’ve completed a lot of my goals I had at the beginning of the game already. I’ve set a few goals and competed them since, just curious what your favorites are so I may get some inspiration!

I have maxed inventory in my suit, S-Class Alien MTs with maxed inventory, a squid ship, guppy exotic, two living ships and a nice fighter all with max inventory, Activated Indium, Cadmium, Emeril farms, Stasis Device farms, more than enough units and nanites for anything I need, and an A Class freighter. I have everything in the QS shop except the new flags. I also have bases in three galaxies so far. Ive been working on getting an S Class freighter but I get bored very fast with save scumming. (By no means bragging, just letting you know what I have/haven’t done).

Any suggestions welcome! Maybe others will get inspired as well. Thanks!

At my wits end...stuck on 14 out of 18 minerals in Expedition 3. [Question]

I've almost died several times, walking and swimming everywhere with my scanner active. This morning I literally spent almost two full hours with the left trigger depressed (Xbox) looking for those last four. I checked caves, mountains, shorelines, underwater depths, plains, vallies, every boulder and every pebble in sight... Every place I can think of. This is absolutely the most frustrating milestone...not just because I can't get them all, but because without it I cannot do other stuff because the reward is essential to repairing my ship!

Anyone else just lose their save data? [Question]

I tried to play No Man’s Sky when the Xbox login system was down. The system said no, since I have a digital copy. Seemed reasonable. Well, it’s up again and my saved games are all gone. (Yes, I’m logged in on the correct account.)

Checked my Cyberpunk 2077 game and my save file is still intact there. (I also tried to play Cyberpunk off a disc, also said no because of cloud saves or something.)

So did this just happen to anyone else? I was warned this could happen when I bought the game, so worst case I’ll start a new save on Expeditions. Just curious if I’m alone or not or if it’ll magically come back.

The Restaurant at the end of the galaxy (just a bit of fun) [Screenshot]

Welcome Interloper, to the restaurant at the end of the galaxy, the Eisentam galaxy to be precise.

Yes, we know it's not quite the end of the universe. But, we're situated just 4309 lightyears from the centre of the Eisentam galaxy, and this is really the next best thing. Stop in for a bite to eat before saying "so long and thanks for the fish" as you head in to the centre of the Eistentam galaxy, and jet off to your next galactic destination.

We're located on the Havilniu planet in the Cirfua system, just a short hop from the Eisentam galactic core. Don't let the extreme radiation storms put you off. The restaurant is safely nestled into a cave and is the perfect spot to watch the violent nuclear storms pass by outside over a delicious meal, as you contemplate "life, the universe and everything" while sitting next to a cosy fire, or dance the night away on our dancefloor.

We have parking for your ship, or you can reach us by portal or just teleport straight in. Whatever your transportation mode, be sure to stop by for some R&R before heading on to your next adventure.

VR crashing within seconds of getting in game [Question]

I'm trying to play with an Index, literally within seconds of getting in game it crashes my GPU drivers. Screen black, fans still running, nothing happening. I've tried a couple different versions of the nvidia drivers. I've tried making sure nothing is running except Steam VR. I've tried reinstalling the GPU drivers entirely. Nothing seems to work. This is the only game this seems to happen with :/

Playing on desktop mode is fine, but it wasn't always fine. I did have the drivers crash from time to time about a month ago, but it hasn't been doing it recently.

The only helpful thing I could get from my system logs was dwm.exe crashing, but it seems like a lot of other people who have that issue have a faulty GPU. I don't think that's the case here since I can only get the drivers to crash with a very specific thing.

Another thing to note is that for some reason it logs me out of steam and I need to reinstall steamvr when I boot my PC back up, which I think is strange.

Since the last one or two weeks I've been having brief stutters every 5 or 6 seconds - frames go from stable 60 to 40~45 for a fraction of a second. I've tried every suggestion that I read online and turns out the stuttering is related to my internet connection. If I start Steam offline, or disconnect the ethernet cable when the game is running, the issue is solved. Could be Steam's latest update the problem?

ps: I'm using Win7 and I've never been able to connect to the online discover services, even after installing this update but this has never caused any problems

ps2: I tried contacting Zendesk 8 days ago but didn't get a response, maybe cause this issue isn't game breaking

Trouble with expedition milestones. [Question]

I am loving the new update for no mans but have run into a problem with one of the milestones. For some reason in this new expedition I cannot complete the milestone that requires me to put down a signal booster and find an outpost. I can put down the booster but when doing the planetary scan nothing shows up. I’ve traversed the planet for awhile and still had no luck. Has any one else run into this problem. P.s. I don’t want to leave the planet because they gave me a very nice ship to start with P.s.s I can’t repair the ship without ridiculous ingredients such as Herox.

Expedition Starship [Question]

Hello everyone!

This is my first expedition and I couldn't find the information easily. I know the expedition save becomes a normal one after its end, I assume that means we get to keep the exotic we started with yes?

Second question is that the ship has a whoppin 900~ some ly Hyperdrive, I read that normal is around 150-170, does any other ship compare, or get close without numerous upgrades?

Thanks in advance!

Is There a Way to Move Progress to Another Playthrough? [Question]

I recently got back into NMS after a few years break. I started up a world where I found a Paradise Planet in the same galaxy. I installed several mods that I remember having a few others that came highly reviewed. Through the tutorial mission I got up to the point of "Construct a Shelter for protection against hazards" and none of the proper things came up. I restarted the game, turned off all the mods, etc. however nothing worked. So I started a new campaign and got through the build a shelter part with no issues.

​

Is there a way I can transfer that progress to the other campaign? In the other one I also found it extremely difficult to get copper, both with and without mods, restarting the game, reinstalling, etc. I read that people who started a multiplayer game and had someone join can sometimes cause that to bug out. I did try to make a multiplayer game but none of my invites (both steam and NMS friend code) worked.

A bit of a TedX talk style inquiry, so I apologize. I just wanted to see if you guys had any tips to help push the original campaign past the bug I'm at. Thanks guys :).

No new buildings in Settlement since 3.66 patch drop. [Bug]

Unlike other people, I was having no trouble with buildings always coming up for the settlement quest all through patch 3.65.

Since patch 3.66 dropped, I've not had a SINGLE BUILDING. I've had visitors/policy/disputes come up but not a single building.

I don't think I have anywhere near all the buildings you can have with 3 towers, 2 marketplaces, 4 landing pads, a hazard control building, the Saloon and possibly a couple of others I forgot.

I've left the game on for LONG periods of time, going back to xbox home then back in the game while also watching youtube or Plex.

Its the first time I've needed to unlock recipes for things to craft stuff.

I feel like in the main game you've kind of got everything you need and there's not much point to crafting. I guess I need some direction or advice, like, what should I be crafting in the main game or what should I be building with my base, or are bases purely decorational?

TLDR [Discussion]

It’s ironic that we have a game where you literally can explore galaxies, new planets and see weird and wonderful things. It’s a child like dream we all have when looking at the stars at night. Most of us of have day jobs, and some or most don’t really enjoy because of the rules and routines. We do this to make money in order to survive, provide for a family and enjoy things, like playing games.

Yet now with settlements and even freighters most of us work on building our settlements and making sure our frigates go out on missions. We grind for units, nanites and quicksilver to buy or upgrade things. See where I’m going?

Its profound that we choose to do the real life work like routines in a game that literally wants you to explore. Just my 2c, not a rant but just a thought.

Sentinel alert level keeps increasing throughout the day and every couple of days, my settlement is under attack.

Till today, i have faced them only once and cleared them easily but the other 3 rounds, i was not even in the game. (i know i was attacked because settlement level decreased, to B, and sentinel alert level reset)

Why are we under attack when we can't even defend the site?

[EXPEDITION #3] Potential solution for people facing the "Downloading Data" issue. [PSA]

Hello everyone.

In case you're stuck with the "Downloading Data" problem, I think I may have found a solution.

Load an existing save slot, save in that slot again (using either AutoSave or Manual Save), repeat the process for ALL your existing saves, then exit the game, launch it again and BOOM!

So pretty much load ALL your existing saves, save your game again in those slots and then restart the game.

For me, doing that made it go from "Downloading Data" to "5 Weeks Remaining" and now I can officially start this new "Expedition".

Hope this helps, fellow Travelers/Interlopers.

Now after the patch frames drip to 20 on any planet I visit and go back up when I go to space and on space stations. This is so painful its not even funny. Even though the patch was supposed to fixe glitches and stuff now the game is worse!? I got trapped INSIDE a space station and almost blew up till I squeezed my self into the entry way. I’m gonna reinstall it and if that doesn’t work I’m just gonna wait. I had just gotten to farming and enjoying myself but this is absolutely ruining it.

Thanks, likes, dislikes and questions [Discussion]

I've been playing NMS a LOT in 2019 and beginning 2020 (around 2000 hours), then I had a long break. I was missing variety and glitch building wasn't my pair of shoes. When they introduced the derelic (?) freighters I quit, as this was too creepy for me and I was a bit frustrated that this was the way to get more storage space in your own freighter. And now I returned.

Kudos to the developers for fixing the horizon line. This really made my day! I also love the additions to flora and fauna, and especially that there are planets with really high mountains. I love the night skies and I really enjoy exploring again. The new base parts, especially the timber ones, are totally my taste, and I am very happy about the glass roofs which make the bases brighter during daytime. And yes, I also like the new building menu very much. Once you get used to it, it is so much easier because you see all your items.

What I truly miss is a working base lighting option. If you take the kelp lamps from the quicksilver merchant (KronleuchterblΓΌten), they are the only bright lights in the game, but they are too bright. All other lamps, also the newly added ones, just make your bases from completely dark to a state where you can see enough that you don't walk into your furniture. The settlement buildings are also extremely dark inside. A lot of my time goes into brightening up space with lights and lamps, so I can see at least a bit.

Why is it so difficult to make lights with an intensity between the kelp thingies and the current lamps? Some decent lamps which brighten up a room?

I would also like an option to choose the appearance of our walls and windows, so we don't need to experiment with short walls and foundations so that our windows remain open and don't get blinders. I understand that creating all these pieces might have caused whatever issues, but couldn't we just select a...

Freighter base building limitations [Discussion]

As someone who prefers to build a detailed/functional base in their freighter rather than on a planet, I get increasingly frustrated by the limitations the game puts up for what seems no reason.

It makes sense that some items are not available on a freighter, for example the wall and roof parts, as they simply do not fit. But there are plenty items which should be totally fine, but can not be build in a freighter. To name a few:

  • Antimatter reactor

  • Exocraft terminal

  • Habitation heater (fireplace) and the most recent anomaly themed quicksilver decorations

  • Plant decorations from Cartographers expedition

One could argue that placing plants/trees inside a freighter doesn't make sense, but you can actually build the ones you unlock through quicksilver just fine. Its just the most recent ones from the expedition which do not work. Beside that, I don't see any harm in making a forest on your freighter if you wish to do so.

Has this ever been addressed? Is this just some weird design choice, a technical limitation or just a plain oversight?

I need opinions. I lost my main base to the terraforming I used resetting. I'll list more details in post but what would you do if you were me? [Question]

So I came back for frontiers after about 2 years away from the game. I got really into it and finally got to a point were I could claim a planet/ system I would settle down on. Might not be perfect according to the grand meta but no harsh weather and virtually no sentinels. found a mountain within range of a power hotspot, cut the top of of it and set up the main building up there. I later made a cavern garage for my exocrafts with local teleports back to the top. I've had about 20hrs with this base with no problems with the game remembering where my terrain was cut. multiple saves and reloads. It even survived the hotfixes fine. just randomly in a play session the land just reset while I was off planet. I sent in a crash report with the following screenshot, and now I'm not sure what to do. Obviously I'm salty but it wasn't a perfect base and I'm willing to start over if I have to but I see a couple of options. Start fresh, delete everything to reclaim the materials, find a new system, and build a base with no terraforming Carefully cut out this base again and hope the land doesn't reset again some other third thing.

I'll probably take a break or at least switch my focus to everything other than the main base, so while I do that I'd like to hear what you guys would do.

the current UI overhaul should be optional for players [Suggestion]

I see the overhaul's benefits and how it could help players, but only really PC players. I use a controller. It is stuck at a specific and quite slow speed, so I'd much rather use my d-pad to navigate my menu, which I can't do anymore.

Which is why you should let players choose between the original UI and the new one. I honestly don't understand why it was overhauled in the first place, the original was incredibly accessible in my experience. There are likely people who prefer this new one, but it's making my experience more tedious than before.

Also what kind of specs would be needed to smoothly run it in VR (if its runs smoothly in general!) I have an i7 10750H, an rtx 2060 and 32gb of 3200mhz RAM. Would this suffice?

Thanks in advance guys!x
