So..Permadeath and a couple of questions. [Question]

After a week of playing the game after a 3 year break and still a noob, I have the bright idea to start a permadeath save game. And I have a couple of questions before I start.

  1. Every playthrough I see, they run to the caves. Every tips video also has it as n1 tip and with a good reason. You fill that hazard bar, you most likely make it to the ship, nevermind the batteries you can farm in the caves.

Question is, what if there's no cave within one minute walk from spawn? Is it busted? Better start a new one instead of frantically hunting down yellow flowers? I never saw anyone doing anything like it. It's like the caves is a make or break kind of thing, at least as far as youtube guides go.

  1. How about money early and mid game? Selling a few slots of salvaged tech for a couple of million is easy enough, but that won't get you far. All the guides are old and playthroughs end before they make big space bucks. The trick of crushing the economy and flipping wiring looms does not work anymore. Not with how many items you need to sell to crush the economy. Chlorine is not really useful with the limited slots in permadeath. Is it just a slow burn? Buy that maxed out S class fighter 80h into the run? And I'm not talking about crafting high end items. Stasis farm is not something to be done early game, hell I don't think I want to bother with it even at late game, unless I'm stupid bored.

  2. Any fun community checklists? Just to get me to do different things instead of simply grinding forever? I know it's a sandbox, but as I said, noob here. There's tons of things I'd never think of trying without someone pointing them out.

  3. Is the challenge really only the early stages? I feel like with a maxed out suit I'd be pretty invincible, unless I decide to test gravity or something. Am I missing something here?

And finally..somewhat irrelevant but would be...

No building permission? [Question]

So I’ve got a settlement on the same planet as a friend, I’ve glitched the computer 600m away and built all the way to my settlement so I can teleport straight there. All was fine but suddenly all I get is ‘no edit permission’ and when I access the computer ‘report offensive base name’. It’s like the base just suddenly isn’t mine? Does anyone have a fix or do I just need to give up and find a settlement on a different planet?

Can't summon ship (greyed out) [Question]

I just found two star ships at the bottom of the sea. One of them disappeared after I died (it wasn't at the bottom of the sea when I returned).

Now I see if I go to the summon-menu I can see them both under "other ships". One of them has color, so I assume I can summon that one.

​

But the other one (the one that disappeared when i died), is "greyed out", and nothing happens when i click on it.

Will I be able to summon it at one point, if yes, how?

And all the things i put into my exocrafts/ships/submarines etc., will it always be there? I'm afraid to store too many valuable things on various exocrafts/ships if I suddenly can't get to them....

Terrain issue with settlement PS5 [Bug]

I can't build my second landing pad because it automatically placing under a very small hill but just big enough to not reach the building panel. I tried to use terrain manipulator, even with my base nearby but it doesn't let me demolish it. Because of this I always chose to build something else so the settlement is pretty advanced to not go out and search for a new one but the issue is still. Anyone have any suggestions or will it be fixed somehow eith the upcoming patches?

The space part of this game is so underdeveloped. [Discussion]

Flying in space is a huge part of the game and yet the core gameplay hasn't changed. No ship interiors, no hovering, no being able to leave your ship and ultimately, no consequences.

There's asteroids practically everywhere so fuel is never an issue, but imagine if you ran out of fuel and had to use your radio to signal for help , either you get saved by nice people (or maybe even a player but that wouldn't happen much obviously) or pirates come over and start making demands. It would just give it more consequence.

And imagine if asteroid mining was a lot more delicate, you could leave you ship and fly over and mine that way to maybe find rare resources or get more fuel? It would just be nice to have more variety/options when it comes to space

No man's sky on Xbox Series X [Question]

Hi guys I apologize for the very basic question, I've had no man's sky for years on steam but due to various computer issues I'm opting to start the game fresh on my Xbox series X, my question is do I need to own the Xbox One version of the game and play it through the backwards compatibility or is there a stand alone Series X version of the game available if I don't own the physical copy?

Take care guys.

Hey Sean I got a pretty neat idea, hear me out. [Discussion]

I won't make it to long and try to summarize as best I can: leave normal mode exactly the same for anyone who likes the game that way but focus in on survival mode for the people who don't.

Make it more pvp focused and difficult in some way. I was thinking like expeditions but it's just one system you chose that changes every so often. Maybe not as long as expeditions but long enough to be able to actually get a base set up but not so long where it's always the same group mowing everyone down. Make bases more meaningful with needing to defend it from players and even npc's. Like a conan exiles kind of system where npc's attack in large groups at a certain time. If it's destroyed like your storage containers for example than it all goes away. Make beds spawn points. Add those turrets found in the files ages ago.

Or no focus on pvp and:

Fix the economy so it actually matters, make it so I can't portal somewhere and pick up millions of credits no problem, hell no portals at all even but if so then make em really expensive to activate, with only rare items maybe. Make the combat more difficult, npc's hit harder of all types and are more abundant? Etc you get my point. Give a player more of a reason to build shelter in some way. Maybe add npc pirates coupled with fauna being a threat to even structures in some way and keep the danger to your storage containers.

Ideally it would include both emphasis on pvp and pve and difficulty but I know the pvp is quite a stretch and I'm not sure how I feel about it either. It's a weird thought fighting another player in this game beyond to just be annoying. Like plenty others, it's a bummer playing this game for no real purpose beyond "being". I can "be" in literally just about any other game I play but in those games I can be but with a real purpose on top of it. I can be in ark all day but at least in that game when...

Can system disappear? [Question]

I'm very confused ... I'm finally decided on the planet I want to settle permanently. I found the perfect planet on a system discovered about a year ago. When I pinpoint it and open the map it just leads me to a random system. Also I cannot warp to it as the station does not show up in the menu.

Is it possible it does not exist anymore (deleted by an update or something idk)?

If I can where can I find the runes to portal there?

Am I blind or does the wiki not mention Augmentation Modules? [Question]

Like for Upgrade modules, you can have 3 of each type, but I do not see anything about how many Augmentation Modules you can have.

My ship currently has 6 Pulse Upgrade modules (3/3) and 2 Pulse Augmentation modules (the A and the S with the cursor on it), and I was curious how many Augmentation modules you can have as I did not even know there was more than 1 of each type until just today when I just realized that I had an S Augmentation installed that I thought was an S Upgrade because I thought Augmentations only went up to A class.

Settlement Issue [Question]

Ok so I haven't gotten a building prompt in 4 days now, since the first larger update, not sure which number it was. I keep getting citizen dispute/requests/settlement decisions every 30-45 minutes. It doesn't really seem like a bug, but I'm not sure. Maybe its because I had already built a lot of buildings and I only have 49 citizens? Anyone else run into this?

Can we please get AUTOSAVE??? [Suggestion]

Yeah, I can't tell you how many times I have been playing for an hour or so, then the game just crashes, and then all that progress down the drain.

You might say well you should just be saving all the time, while this would be a good idea, but I have ADHD and I forget about a simple thing like that.

Especially when most of the games that I play are MMO's and you can just log off whenever and no matter if you crash the game, power goes out, the internet goes down, leave in a hurry, and plain and simple just quit the game because you are done and you just don't have time to run back to your ship, or don't have the materials on you to craft a save point.

This has happened 5+ times since Frontiers came out, and it's really demotivating to keep playing when all that hard work just goes right out the window. I remember this happening in past expansions, but nothing on this level.

While I get the idea of having to get to a point and save the check, like the old school days, but this game is nothing like that. This last time I want just building a new base, and farming, in the middle of farming carbon and I have 5k+ boom, frozen. I went and did something else hoping that it would come back, but when I came back the game was just completely crashed and no longer running at all.

Yes I have a good PC, that isn't the issue.

I might be completely unable to finish Starbirth. [Discussion]

Please, GOD help me.

I have 10/16 portal glyphs, but now Travelers won't actually give me grave co-ords. Nothing I try fixes it - restarting, singleplayer/multiplayer. Tried a good few different travelers, same result eachtime.

Not only that, but my other option for getting glyphs is a no-go. My Construction Overseer wants Chromatic metal for the science station thing, but when I went to get it, he refuses to accept it. Again, this will not change no matter what I do. I tried re-hiring a few times, and even relocating, but nothing - and now, the game just tells me "I'd better leave the Gek to their work".

I'm looking for a good source of ferrite dust [Question]

For context, have you ever come across those "stone" trees that grow sideways out of the ground and you can mine them for like 400-600 carbon each?

I'm looking for something that produces ferrite dust in those quantities. It's getting really annoying zapping pebbles for 5-10 dust each and a lot of larger minerals give pure ferrite instead. And I'm going through a lot of dust making metal plates.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Does anyone else wish there were different types of exosystems on planets? [Discussion]

Ok hear me out, I’ve playing this game ever since it came out and I’ve always hated how practically all planets are almost identical. Like the precidural generating is freaking astounding programming wise, but I’ve always felt like they could’ve maybe gone a more realistic way with the planet types and ecosystems.

For example, the moons you come across are just little versions of the planets we already encounter and not barren white deserts like we have here. Every planet you can land on always has plants and animals, no gas-giants, no water planets. I feel like this wouldve put less strain on the system if they maybe had some of those types of planets, but then still have those two others in a galaxy where you can actually land on and discover all the flora. I know this sounds very entitled, and I'm not complaining in the least, but they really missed out on a lot of ideas to make the world seem like you're actually visiting a galaxy and simultaneously make it really rewarding when you actually find a planet with life on it. I don't know maybe I'm the only one?? Nonetheless I actually love what this game has become, the developers put a lot a work into it and I can't wait to see what they come up with in the future

The game and its continuous updates and content are fantastic! I think it is time to add more cosmetic items. [Discussion]

I love NMS, it's one of my favorite games that I get wrapped into for weeks at a time if I'm not careful. I just wish we had more cosmetic options. I sadly missed expedition 1 and its really unique looking retro jetpack, and it makes me sad that the other 2 options just aren't that great looking in comparison to the retro jetpack. I really enjoy the GEK helmet, I grinded a LOT to earn that quicksilver for it and will grind even more for that armor. NMS has a huge abundance of content and is being constantly updated, I just wish I could make my character a little more unique. To be fair, even if the new cosmetic were locked behind a paywall, I would 100% not mind buying them since I know for a fact that the money I would spend would contribute to future content. What do you all think? I know paid cosmetic is a bit of an iffy topic, but if it contributed to the community and wasn't a "timed" cosmetic like in fortnite or warzone, giving new players an option to purchase the item or preventing returning players from missing out on some cool gear, I think most people wouldn't mind.

We need more population growth focused events for settlements [Suggestion]

Currently I have almost maxed out my happiness and productivity on my settlement with a measly 27 citizens, of which I've only had 2 events which increase that number by 3 people (started at 24.) For balance purposes I feel there should be more events that influence population growth

How about an event that's something like "labour laws" where you can increase productivity but some citizens leave, and vice versa for choosing the opposite (lax labour mean more people are attracted to the settlement but lowers productivity)

Since it seems too easy to increase productivity, we should be able to sacrifice money or happiness for extra population (which could mean more income in the long as more people are working).

Just a thought.

PS4 Performance Issues [Question]

Hey y'all, I'm just wondering if anybody else is playing on a PS4, not Pro, and actually able to play the game. If I'm using my PS4 to play, half the time literally nothing works - it's like I'm in a lag situation, but it only happens on the PS4. When I try on the PS5, no issues, but since we have more than one person in the house that's not always free to use. I turn off the internet connection entirely and play offline, and it's still just as bad.

Is this game even still playable on PS4? Menus don't load correctly, I often land through the ground and fall into the middle of a planet for a few minutes, then poof back up to the surface like it never happened, etc.

Second: if I set switches in a certain on/off position, when someone visits said base and changes switch positions, do these switches revert to the initial position I left them at when the visitor leaves? --- also, do these switches stay in the position the visitor left after leaving the base, or do the reset to an initial state for a different visitor? 🤔

Could really use some performance and quality suggestions/help! [Question]

It's been a while since I've played and I would really like to get back into the game and enjoy some of the new content HG has added, but I've been having all kinds of performance issues that I can't seem to work out.

A lot of times I get jittery lighting, very fuzzy foreground issues, lots of stuttering and going from ~120 FPS down to ~30 FPS when exploring planets which is a real bummer and makes me lose interest in the game.

I have an RTX 2070s, i5-9600k, 32GB ram, NVMe disk so playing this game on higher settings at 1440 and getting 120+ FPS consistently shouldn't be an issue I wouldn't think.

I would love to play the same game that I see in some of these screenshots being posted, as they are just gorgeous and look like a lot of fun to explore, but I would like to do so without massive FPS drops below ~90 FPS as it starts to really impact playing the game at that point.

If I'm lucky I'll see something larger like a deer or a racoon, but it would notice my presence from a distance, and then flee. Or if I'm really lucky I'll see a predator like a bear, which could also flee, or potentially attack me.

I guess I just want more tension when I come across a species. Let it freeze in its tracks and stare at me. Give me some kind of audio cue if it's a predator coming after me. Give the animals space from each other. They shouldn't all be wandering around together right outside my base. Space them out. It's not like people wont be able to find them, we all have scanners.

Time difference between game and steam? [Question]

Does anyone else notice a massive time difference between the game play time in game and what steam reckons?

I'm fairly new to the game - only actually started a couple weeks ago, have only played on a single save and the game save time is around 36 hours

Meanwhile steam thinks I've played for 70!

I have left it on the home screen for a few hours at one point so I expect a bit of a difference but I've definitely not left it there for 34 hours total.

Don't get me wrong, it's not a big deal or a problem in any way, I'm just curious if this is something other people have run into?

question about expedition ship [Question]

I've started the expedition three different times now and each time have gotten essentially the same ship (slots arrangement might be different but from the outside other than color scheme it looks pretty much the same). Am I just unlucky or is the style of ship you get based on what system you're playing on, PS4 versus Xbox versus PC? Or is that just the style of shit that you get with the expedition? Sorry this is the first expedition I've done so still learning how all this works

A shortcut for switching HUD On/Off [Discussion]

When I land on a planet I like, stormfree and nice flora/fauna, I like to roam/discover it without the HUD, it adds more flavour to discoveries and encounters, for me at least :) It would be nice having the possibility to make a shortcut without having to have to pass by the menu each time, maybe it can be done ?

New player question expeditions... So there is a timer, that passed but expeditions are still there. I know I can't do phase 1 or 2. Can I still do phase 3 and what did I miss out on? [Question]

So I started the second day of expedition phase 3. I didn't know what I was doing how to control the game or anything. Let's just say the last week has been amazing I enjoy this game tremendously and I'm pissed for not playing it a few years ago. By the time I kind of had a grasp on everything it was Sunday night going to bed and I think the next day the timer ran out. Plus that was really enjoying my character so I didn't know what to do or how to do it now that some time has passed I realized I could have just made a new save and knocked out some expeditions in a matter of hours.

I still see people posting that they are doing expeditions and I realize that I can do them as well but what is the difference between doing them and the timed. And doing them now?

Thank you.

Idea for new update [Discussion]

I’ve come back and forth to this game over the past few years, I’ve always loved the graphics and general gameplay design, but the thing I personally always felt was missing was conflict. I may be wrong, but from what I’ve always picked up was that their is still some tension between factions, I think a war update would be really cool, fleet battles, settlement attacks/deffences ship and ground patrols etc. this may not be what some people want, so please remember this is only an opinion, but I feel it doesn’t hurt other types of players (merchants, adventurers etc) maybe they could even add a faction that’s full war blown and the player can pick sides. The fleets especially are really cool and I think fleet vs fleet combat would be dope, wonder how y’all think about it.

Settlement Quest stuck, can't complete any other missions [Bug]

The game is telling me to bring 3 metal plating to my settlement to construct a Machinery Unit. Problem is, I already constructed the Machinery Unit. I'm building something completely different. I can pin other quests, but the HUD still shows the bugged settlement quest. If I pin other quests, I don't get any mission markers because the game thinks I need 3 metal plating. When I craft 3 metal plating the bugged quest updates and tells me to bring the metal plating to my settlement to construct the Machinery Unit, which I can't.

Warping to new galaxy puts me within 3-4K light years of center of next galaxy. [Information]

Meaning, when the new galaxy loads, I spawn on a “new” planet. I find my starship and fix my pulse and launch thrusters, hop out of the atmosphere, enter galaxy map and find myself immediately within 2 warps (3-3.3k light years)of the next galaxy. This happened 3 galaxies in a row. What gives? I learned after the first one not to repair everything and waste resources since everything is going to break upon warping to the next galaxy.

Final base computer archive mission keeps restarting? [Question]

So, I've tried to complete the final archive mission about ten times or so now, it's the final archive mission with the six hour wait time (yaaay). Most times I'll close the game and go to bed halfway through the countdown, only to find the mission restarts whenever the game reloads (have to go to base computer, follow coordinates to another terminal, then start the wait again). So last night I purposefully left the game open while I went to bed with my controller plugged in with a cable to stop it 'timing out' and pausing the game, and yet when I woke up, I was told to go to the base computer AGAIN and have to do everything all over. As of yet I'm still unable to complete this mission and it's really getting annoying, if anyone has any advice I'm all ears. Also, sorry for the long post.

Help with lost ship [Question]

Hey everyone.

I've been playing the game this last few days and having fun with it.

A few days ago i found a crashed ship and added it to my collection and have been using the recall feature (not sure if thats how it is named because i use the game in a different language) without any problem.

But today after i left a planet and went to my base i tried to recall my second ship and couldnt because it had no fuel.

Tried going back to the planet and search for it, but i cant find it. So i googled about this and saw post about getting a freighter and when i got it i could recall my ship.

So i started jumping from system to system to see if the event to get the free freighter would trigger.

It finally did, and i got the freighter, but i still dont know how i can recall my second ship into the freighter.

Can anyone help? Am i still missing something?

No Man's Sky HDR Black Screen Bug Workaround [Bug]

I changed the setting for HDR and after restarting the game all I could get was a black screen. Did a little digging, couldn't locate the settings file to turn it off. Found that I could take a screenshot of the black screen and actually get a picture so since I have a multiple monitor setup I figured I'd try streaming the screen to OBS. Main monitor was black but OBS preview showed the game. Using the preview screen I changed the settings for HDR and it worked.

Anyway, just wanted to leave this here in case anyone else had the same problem. I'm using the Windows store / Xbox Gamepass version of the game, btw. Anyone have any ideas why this happens? Other Windows store games work with HDR.

Been playing for a while and just recently learned of an easy way to scrap crashed ships without having to waste resources on repairing thrusters and what not. [Information]

Claim the ship, fly to your freighter with your working ship, exit your ship when on the freighter and reload from the autosave. Then get in the crashed ship, get out, warp from your freighter to a station (must have a portal installed on your freighter obviously). Damaged ship will then arrive with you at the station.

Been playing for several years and can’t believe I didn’t know about this.

Community settlement thread about identified bugs, issues and basic wishes after patch 3.67 and not yet fixed ones to be used for zendesk reports [Megathread]

... just an idea!

Fell free to continue and use for your own reports.

Together we are strong!

Platform: PS5

Game mode: All modes

Bugs, issues and wishes: Announced bug fix "The settlement mission now gives more information about when the next decision may occur" is not displayed. Information text in the settlement mission is not displayed in full, but ends in the middle of the sentence. (maybe language-dependent) NPCs appropriate thoughts sometimes make no sense. Translation error. Some settlements have never had a population increase. Also, a decision was never shown up, as to which would result in a growth. The need for building materials for ongoing projects is no longer displayed as an information for the mission or during play. Settlement disputes with the option of reducing settlement debts make no sense if the settlement has no debts at all. The relationship between production profit and maintenance costs needs to be revised. For example, it makes no sense if the production is 1 million units per day (max) and the maintenance costs are 15 thousand, that the profit per day in materials is at most 250 thousand and needs something about 19 hours to be collectable. Information texts on disputes do not give correct information, but are more a lottery game. (maybe translation errors or intended fun factor) Construction sites appear in places that are not accessible due to the planetary structure. Building sites appear in existing buildings. The selection of building objects should remain random, but 4 identical selections between 2 building types in a row should not occur. The total number of 28 buildings (including existing buildings at the beginning) should be increased.

Need help with settlement quest :( [Question]

I haven’t played for a few months but I logged on because I heard about the new settlements and it sounded cool. Of course I went into space and got the distress call and headed over and built the HQ and began the marketplace. It was then that I realized it was a crap spot. It was a scorched planet and I didn’t want to have recharge heat protection every 5 minutes. So I looked up how to change settlements and went into space to buy a chart. Grabbed a few Nav data on the space station but it wasn’t enough so I went to the the teleport thingy and realized I was in the wrong system. Wrong galaxy, in fact. So I just went to my home system and got the nav data I needed and bought a chart and went to my planet and used it. I was an amazing spot so I got the geknip I needed and became the overseer and built the HQ but then it said no pending decisions. I went over to my quests and it told me to go back to my settlement and check progress on the marketplace I had began building but I was no longer the overseer of that settlement so I couldn’t warp there even if I wanted to. I decided that I would go to bed and that maybe there would be a decision to make the next day. Fast forward to today and there are still no pending decisions and the game still wants me to go back to my old settlement. How do I make the game recognize my new settlement?

Cannot save progress in Expedition [Bug]

Just as the title says, when I try to save in my Expedition game, it crashes. Never had a problem with it until last weekend, I think. Now, no matter if it's a save point at a location or the portable one, before it tells me that it created a save point, it freezes and crashes. I have hours of work all gone because of this. Is my file corrupted (I have no trouble loading it)? Do I have to start over and lose the 7.5 hours I've put into it? My regular game has no problem saving when I exit my craft (I'm far from my ship in Expedition right now, so I don't know if getting out can create the save or not, and would rather not spend the time going back just to see and lose it.)

What this game needs - Core Gameplay Overhaul [Discussion]

No Man’s Sky has a very cool concept, but the basic fundamentals such as flying and shooting are very unengaging.

I believe Hello Games has put too much focus on adding new and shiny marketable features in the past, such as pets or multiplayer, and not enough focus on creating depth in things besides the item pool and crafting.

The truth is, no matter how many new crafting items or dialogue options they add, it’s not going to stop people from playing the game for a few hours and putting it down for the next 6 months until the next update comes out.

I’m not going to deny that they’ve worked hard on these updates for these past 5 years. Props to them. But personally I wish they would stop adding fluff features in desperate attempts to restore their reputation and start focusing on making the actual actions you take (things that don’t involve a scrolling through menus or choosing text responses) FUN.

The number of drops / buried caches seems higher than other planets too, with double tech points at times in the same hole (unless that's related to drop pod blitzing to get more slots) :-)

Organizing the Base [Suggestion]

Why can't we get the base/teleporter list organized alphabetically or even better, universe number? It would be a nice feature, especially if you have a lot of bases. It's already sorted by last discovered which is fine, but if I have 256 bases at the core of galaxies, a thousand farms and other random bases, trying to find which one you want to go to can be tedious.

Living Ship Glitch? [Question]

I completed the Living Ship quest and got my first living ship. However, the ship I had previously is now gone. I tried warping to different galaxies (Eissen + Euclid) and summoning my freighter to see if it would appear but it's missing. Initially, when I claimed the living ship I tried to enter my previous ship but there was no icon to reenter my ship, so I thought it would automatically reappear in my freighter. Is this supposed to happen?

Getting annoyed with underwater species. [Discussion]

Anytime a planet has more than one underwater species, I can never find it. I have abandoned my search on so many planets and it’s starting to ruin my experience playing this game.

Absolutely bonkers idea [Discussion]

Home planets.

With each run, you can get a special mission through a freighter quest or something like it to get the "paradise code" that lets you claim not just a base, but a whole planet.

And it gives you options. How "wet", color spectrum of terrain, atmosphere, smooth or mountainous, rings or none, color of flora and fauna, ect.

You punch all this into your new code and you just blast that planet with a beam that terraforms the planet randomly based on your choices.

Things I wish the game would've told me when I first started (or I didn't notice) [Information]

The terrain manipulator has different modes. Not just mining.

This one is a doozy that I didn't realize until 50+ hours in, you have to connect upgrades to your tech modules and they get a color boundary signifying that they are active.

To make tons of money, after you have 2-3 million units. The economy types you want to buy and sell go in this order (also you want to pick systems with three stars, this is because they have the more profitable items)

3.1: mining 3.2:manufacturing 3.3:technology 3.4:power production

You buy items from power production and sell to mining.

You can Google more guides for this because there are multiple different names for each economy type, however the items you are going to bring from market to market are exactly the same.

When you are ready to setup your trade routes, buy the economy scanner from the anomaly starship upgrades. This will allow you to view economy data from the galaxy map.

The economy scanner also allows you to scan for trading spots on planets. These offer higher buy prices and sell at lower prices than the space station terminal. I set up bases with storage and a teleport at these.

On every space station you go to, you can buy one inventory upgrade slot for 10,000 units. It only goes up by 10,000 each time. So after going through your new trade route a couple of times, you'll be able to purchase pretty much every single inventory slot upgrade by jumping systems.

There's so much more to this game, but those are some big ones that will help you a ton with getting started.

Help needed: Leyline quest artifacts keep spawning inside other buildings [Bug]

Hi all, first off, as a new player I'm absolutely loving this game!

Unfortunately I've been blocked on the main quest for a while now... I was playing the quest "A leap in the dark" where you have to follow the Sentinel energy trace to find and interact with 3 artifacts. The second artifact turned out to be underwater and it looked like it was in the middle of a building. I tried everything, even digging under the building to try to get to the artifact but it was all to no avail!

I did find a post on this forum from someone else having a similar problem and the suggested solution was to go through a black hole and reset the mission. I did exactly that... but the second artifact has spawned inside an underwater building again! Does anyone know how to get past this as I would very much like to continue the story-line...

Screenshot of the building:

So I got my Settlement on the planet I wanted. And the first thing I needed to do was to speak to someone about the distress signal.

At which point you are supposed to take out said Sentinels & continue the Questline. However for me the Sentinels don't actually spawn or appear anywhere.

Discovery services in multiplayer is infuriating. Solo, I take about a half hour to find the rich-economy blue star, which is surprisingly close: few jumps and I'm there. Ecstatic to find one, I take a stop at the station, grab the suit upgrade, and head to the nearest planet to get distracted by finding the location to a small outpost.

And then... my friend randomly joins the group, ends up where I am, and it takes them only a few minutes to ruin everything: Because I had not yet thought of a name for my system (and I guess was also because I was planet-side) they got "discovery rights" to name it and took full advantage.

Some ideas for future updates... [Suggestion]

Hey there guys! So I’ve been playing the game a couple weeks now, and while I’m no expert in the game in ANY shape or form, I’ve been making a small list of things I’d love to see make it into this game. And while obviously I have no personal say over what makes it in, this game has been getting some seriously cool updates over time and anything is really possible at this point, so what could it hurt to throw my ideas out to be heard.

These are just some ideas I had, they are in no way official, or even really important. Do with this information what you will, but let me know what you think of the ideas.

If this kind of thread isn’t allowed, let me know and I’ll refrain of doing it a second time. Thank you in advance for your time.

—�—�—� Quality of Life Improvements

Frigate Coloring - We have the option to change the color of our Freighter. Let’s us select an option to let us match our frigate fleet to the same color we pick for our freighter.

Trade Window - Let us have an option to trade with other players via a trade window so we can easily see what we are offering, what we are getting, and maybe market value of each side or something to help new players know if they are getting a good deal or being ripped off.

Text Chat for Consoles - I play on Xbox, and I can’t think of a single time I have had the opportunity to chat with another player, even though I’ve been playing with them this whole time. I can’t really start a party chat with people on other platforms, and if I can’t text chat while PC players can, it kind of defeats the purpose of being able to do crossplay. We have voice to text options, but if someone already doesn’t have a mic to communicate, then that option doesn’t work. We don’t always want to have to break out a mic if all we want to do is ask what system a ship comes from, or if I can buy the 200 copper...

Just loaded a save from 11 months ago [Discussion]

Finished expedition 3, and my main save from expedition 2 is borked for the moment, so thought I'd see what I was doing a year ago.

Walk straight into a battle with sentinels, find I've got so little cargo space as I didn't know how to increase it, my ships are two A class shuttles, one of which is an unrepaired salvage, and a C class fighter, and my entire frigate fleet is a B class trader.

On the other hand, I have 36 million cash, 11k nanites and even some quicksilver despite not knowing what it did back then.

Start working on the cargo problem, and find I've got 8 droppod data and 2 ship cargo enhancers. Got a base in the system I'm in that's only a base computer, but find a few hotspots and put down some buildings. Also adopt a T-Rex companion.

Warp out and find my main base is on a beautiful planet, next to a portal, with enough sentinels to always have fun.

Recruited 11 frigates, ran out of money, no just exploring for fun. Also in a part of the first galaxy that's completely undiscovered.

It's amazing how much more I know now, but also I did get a few things right back then.

Unpopular opinion but I like shuttles [Discussion]

They're not the most practical type of ship and it would be cool to see hello games add more features to unique ships to make each type more unique. Regardless of this I decided to do a challenge play through in permadeath mode and one of my first ships was a shuttle. I strapped rockets to it and boosted its shields and it became a mini space tank. The interior of some shuttle ships are nice to be in whilst exploring a plannet. It's like an underdog that isn't amazing at any particular thing/task. But when It punches above its weight by either travelling long distances or defending a fleet from pirates. It makes me appreciate the ship more.

Multiplayer base gone [Discussion]

Friend had a solid base going I wanted to build something close so when we were online together I went far enough to install a base computer and was able to claim the land (note land claimed next to hologram tower). There was a magnetic Hotspot conveniently in between our bases so we installed and ran a series of batteries and cabled power to both our bases. Long story short, I built a bunch of stuff on my new base including building, storage, save beacon, etc, made sure to save it before logging off last night. Today when I reloaded (without my friend online), it loaded at the same location of my save beacon but everything is gone including my save conputer, but except for my base computer. All the raw material that I used to build the base is gone too. And I can see my inventory resembles how it looked when I saved. Also missing is my friends base I.e. Everything #Frustrated

NMS and imagination [Meta]

​

https://preview.redd.it/xw4llbuhrgo71.jpg?width=1280&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=53651e8f48576d88ade745a3e5b5b4bce1c166ca

So, I know there are a lot of complaints that some of the game play is worthy of a load screen, or that the procedurally generated planets are too predictable, or that space battles are too easy or rote or uninteresting. But one of the most underrated aspects of NMS to me is how much imagination that player is able to bring to the table.

A case in point: I've been in Eissentam for a while. It's nice, but I started feeling that itch to move on, to explore some of the other NMS galaxies. So, fully intent on packing up for good, I warp over to a portal I'd set a base down at a long while back, ready to go directly to the core. Except when I land, I notice a beacon for a settlement on the same planet.

This is a paradise planet, one that I hadn't really fully contemplated before. And this was a Gek settlement (I have a soft spot for those amphibian bastards). So here I am, ready to leave Eissentam for good, but the people of the settlement are in deep shit. In debt. Unhappy. Unproductive. So I figure I'll stay a bit, help out where I can, and then leave.

Now, it's starting to come together as a little community. The dance hall is a success. The market is thriving. It's multicultural too--lots of Vy'Keen and Korvax showing up. And I feel attached, still unable to make the big jump. I know this when I authorize an expedition for two settlers to find a lost comrade, only to discover that they both died. I feel responsible. My ties to this community grow even stronger.

NMS doesn't shovel this narrative, I'm left to create it myself. And so the challenge of the game is less important than the richness of the little story I've created. An explorer...

What defines a settlement's class? [Question]

The class of a settlement makes absolutely no sense whatsoever!

​

Yesterday: Population - 68, Happiness - 49%, Productivity - 657,369 U, Maintenance - 68,811

​

The settlement was S class with those stats.

​

Today: Population - 68, Happiness 54%, Productivity - 719,448 U, Maintenance - 68.811

​

The settlement is now a B class.

​

Productivity UP, Happiness UP, Class rating DOWN. What the actual fuck? I have no debts, and a 0% sentinel alert level.

​

Also, how do you get more people living there? Am I stuck at an ever growing settlement that never gains new people?

Can I move my twitch rewards to a different steam account? [Question]

I have a somewhat unusual problem. I went to the Quicksilver merchant to get my twitch rewards, and noticed they weren't there. It finally dawned on me why. I had watched the twitch streams with my normal steam account. When I purchased no man's sky, I put it on a different steam account that I reserved for VR games only (so family could play on the Oculus downstairs without interfering with me playing on my PC upstairs). Ultimately, I messed up by not using family sharing which would allow me to play the VR accounts games as myself...

In the future I'll have to link the VR account to Twitch, obviously. But in the meantime, all of those twitch goods are sitting in a different account than the one I actually play in.

Is there any known way to salvage this? Could I simply move the save games to the save dir of the other account, or is it stored in Hello Games databases somewhere, tied to the account?

Thanks

Pet didn't grow larger in the sequencer [Question]

I got the egg, put in the sequencer, and filled the size box with silver and it said 100%. I hatched the egg and it's the same exact size as my current pet. The only difference is the stats like the weight went up. Should I try again? Is this type of pet just bugged?

Question about underwater exploration and exocraft [Question]

Hello! Today, I was recently gifted a void egg by a kind stranger at the space anomaly. I followed his instructions, and after doing so I started a new questline ("Starbirth") I've never heard of before. However, the first quest marker lands smack dab in the middle of an ocean, and I have no idea how to get down there without drowning.

I did recently get another quest that prompted me to get a submarine built, however, so I guess I have one main question here: If I build the submarine back on my home planet, can I teleport it anywhere in the galaxy? Or would I even need the submarine for a brief stint into the ocean? I nearly drowned last time I tried to explore an underwater base, so I have no idea.

Trying to figure out how to get a third license for NMS [Question]

Hi everyone,

I am trying to setup a multiplayer NMS game to play with my kids and explore the universe together. So I have a license for my Steam account and one on Gog. The problem is, how do I setup a third license?

​

Do I have to create another Steam account or can I do something else?

​

​

I appreciate any help. As of right now, two of my kids are playing off one gaming PC, one on Pop OS and the other in a Windows 10 VM on the same box using GPU Passthrough. Both doing 1080P @ 60 fps. I honestly cannot believe how well the setup is working.

Specs for anyone interested:

Ryzen 5 5600g (3 cores, 2 threads for Pop OS - host OS) and (3 core, 2 threads - Windows 10 VM)

32 GB DDR 3200 RAM (16GB/4GB for Vega 7 [iGPU] and 16GB dedicated to Windows 10 VM)

2TB Intel 660 NVMe m.2 SSD

RX 580 8GB GPU that is passthrough to Windows 10 VM

​

The third license will be for an old rig that I cobbled together so we can do three players at once.

Settlement changing classes? [Bug]

So, let me start this off with I don't use any mods.

Five days ago I posted a pic of my settlement on twitter showing it was a class S w/a massive debt. Today, after I built some stuff & sent a sentinel patrol packing, I noticed it was a class B? What in the heck is going on?

I found it as a class B, & during one of the patches to fix the settlements when they first launched, it became a class S & went 10mil into debt (first pic is from when I posted that info on twitter). I kept it anyway & continued to work on it. Today I had a look after doing some building & it has higher productivity, slightly higher happiness, less time until the debt is cleared.. but it's back to a class B?

I have an odd issue. I am playing with multiplayer disabled and group set to invite only. I found a planet while exploring and suddenly I m seeing these purple dots in an area and when I get close it says they are bases owned by other players, but I see no base parts or anything.

From what I have read after some searching online about the planet name is that there are a few spots that crashed ships spawn and these players build bases to block access to said ships. Since the base is invisible I assume the ship is too, if it is there. I have no option when looking at the marker to do anything.

Just got into the game again last week since a break since 2016 where I had left with (at the time...) Max exosuit and ship inventory upgrades.

Also, I read the wing type determine inventory not class? So if I buy any hauler for example, can I upgrade to max inventory through classes or no? I don't want to waste time hunting for a look if my primary concern is maxing the inventory.

How many Exploration and Combat frigates do you need? [Question]

I'm mostly still new to the game, but I have a full 30 frigates and have been maxing our my missions.

One thing I noticed is that missions so far have been Industrial, Trade, and Balanced. I don't see Exploration or Combat missions. Are there any in advanced missions later? Or are they just rare?

If it's just those three mission types, I feel that maybe I have too many Exploration and Combat frigates. I would only need those for Balanced. Would it make more sense to balance my roster with:

7-8 Trade

7-8 Industrial

3-4 Combat

3-4 Exploration

7-8 Support

Someone lose a base computer? [Question]

So I was exploring a world I had recently discovered and I came across this real large, flat plateau (like unnaturally flat) which would be great for a base, and right in the middle was a base computer.

So right off the bat I’m thinking shit somebody beat me to it, but when I checked discoveries it said planet was discovered by me. So I clicked the base computer and it gives me the option to claim the base! unfortuneatly there is no power source (or anything else) nearby so I declined it which sucks as it is a really nice spot for a farm since it’s soooo flat.

So I figure one of two things has happened, either someone else has been on this planet but never uploaded and never claimed and the game allows you to use another players computer, or I was playing NMS drunk again and forgot I did this.

Anyway has anyone else know how this could happen?

When opening up your inventory closing it and reopening it again, it would be amazing for the inventory page you left off on be the page it opens again. We have 5 pages of inventory exosuit, starship, multitool, exocrafts, and freighter. The default page isn’t even the most used our exosuit inventory. Idk if this is selectable somehow but I have had it be set to my multitool before and it could be less annoying.

But I'm trying to build a a base station and I can't seem to.

It may not get as much attention as the others, but in my opinion Synthesis was hands down one of the best updates that No Man Sky has ever had [Discussion]

https://www.nomanssky.com/synthesis-update/

It released to very little fanfare and Hello Games did not even put out a trailer for it

Yet despite all of that I would argue that it was probably 1 of the games most important updates because rather being so focused on adding new features to the game like many of the updates that had come before, instead it actually focused more on improving the features that were already in the game. Everything from improving VR to now being able to have more than one Multi-Tool was added during this update

It's the type of update that I actually hope that hello games will do more of in the future

Things I'd Really Like to See Added to the Game/Random Ideas [Suggestion]

I know there's a billion suggestions already out there, but I figured i'd add in my two cents to the mix....they probably aren't even new ideas.

UI Ideas: The ability to name saves. The option to turn off camera shake. A buildable compass upgrade that would also show east and west on your hud. The ability to place more than one custom marker. Maybe make it 6 at the most since that seems to be the theme (6 companions, 6 ships).

Base Building: Bring back two story rooms on freighters, or just more freighter base building parts in general. MORE base decorations. Some random things I'd love to see: A Stove or Cooktop, a Chimney now that we have a fireplace, random exosuit pieces (kinda like a closet maybe, we already have a gun wall so I just thought it would be neat addition), pillows for couches/beds, different bed designs, placeable windows for the new base pieces, placeable water (this may be more of a terrain manipulator thing), etc. Settlements are cool and all but I'd still love placeable NPC's/creatures for bases. A way to leave things for other players that they can take or buy, like a kinda store/trade outpost for your base. A base guest book. This would be a neat way for others to say hi and let you know they visited your base. Maybe have it gift navigation data for signing it.

Planets: Aurora Borealis effects at poles and/or ice cap areas would be neat. It'd also be a nice way to find the poles easier. Actual ice....you need to break through the ice if you want to go for a swim. This would allow for entire ice ball planets that you could land on mine through the ice and explore the depths of ocean underneath.

Ships: Ship customization. It'd be a great unit/nanite sink or they could make it so you have to hunt for ships with those parts, buy them, and then scrap them to earn those parts. Maybe even have to build a ship customization...

Money making tips for noobs like myself. Here is what I did. [Information]

I've started playing this game a week and a half ago and I am hooked. I can't believe not took me this long to start playing it. But I found myself cash strapped and low on nanites all of the time so being new (if you can call 88 hours played new) I did some YouTube research and came across a video about stasis devices which sell for 1 billion. The video was an hour long and I watched most of it but came to the conclusion that right now it isn't worth it while I'm still trying to get established. I was scrolling through the comments and saw a comment from a guy that said stasis farming is too time consuming and not worth the time investment for himself and he just creates cryopumps and gave instructions on what to do and I gave it a shot and now I am swimming in units.

So for those noobs like myself here is what I did I found 3 planets with these three gaseous elements on them nitrogen, radon, sulphurine and I used the gas scanner to find deposits on each of these planets. For my nitrogen I set up two "farms" one on a A-class deposit and one on an C-Class deposit. For my Radon I set up a "farm" on an S and B class deposit and for my sulphurine I set up a "farm" on an S and C class deposit. The higher the quality of the deposit the better so if you don't like one keep searching. Also you are going to need a metric ton of concentrated carbon so I set up two oxygen farms(A and B class) on the same planet as my Radon farm.

For each farm find the highest point of concentrations by using your gas analyzer and place a gas extractor on that location and then I stack three more on top of it and connect them all with electricity and supply pipes and I make 6-8 batteries and and two biofuel reactors(not needed but can jump start the process if you are building at night) and connect those batteries to 10 solar panels and connect it to the extractors.

Best Time to Explore? [Question]

Hey all!

I was thinking of getting back into No Man's Sky having last played it in July of 2018 and I know they have made a crazy number of updates since then, such that I thought it'd be best to consult the community before getting back into it.

Namely, I'm hoping to find out what the best time to do major exploration would be; that is to say, the point in the game when you have pretty much all the technologies you need to do the following: Construct bases with all the components Be set to do the necessary groundwork to buy Freighters and the best Ships Harvest all the resources possible Craft all the necessary supplies to do the above

So, if anyone could provide me the points in the various main questlines I can "leave off" and start doing what I've listed above, I would be extremely appreciative.

Thanks!

Do they plan on making settlement surpluses swappable? [Discussion]

since we're often gifted/self-taught new technologies like a di-hydrogen factory and a radon farm, i should be able to select them as the 2 resources i collect surplus of, rather than the geknip and welding soap im currently able to take,

Also as a fanboy since starting in feb id like to emphasize that the timegates on the surplus strike me as designed for players who dont have alot of time to farm when they get on, but i can't do anything except sell the welding soap, and geknip is becoming less needed as i improve my relations with the gek. right now the benefit of the surplus is very minimal and seems i would have appreciated its presence much earlier in my journey. before i was chlorinated and financially stable, i would have wanted to sell each day's surplus for the money to buy / refine the advanced resources needed for most of the buildings after the foundation part is built. For now, i only sell them so i dont feel like im wasting money by letting cycles go by without emptying each to make room for more.

"Incompatible saves" and something surprising [Bug]

A couple major updates ago I was going to return to NMS but when I loaded it up I found that both of my profiles that I had about 20 hours each in wouldn't load. Annoyed, but still wanting to try the new content I went ahead and created a new profile and started over (again). I sent a support request to HG but I never heard back.

Fast forward like 6 months later and I booted the game up to find that all three profiles were available to load on my laptop. I checked on my desktop and confirmed they were working there too. On a whim I checked the patch notes for 3.67 and found one line that seemed relevant: Fixed a rare issue that could prevent some players from loading their saves.

It's really good to see the attention they have put into fixing this game over the years. I didn't expect to be able to recover these profiles but I never deleted them just in case.

Best way to preserve the old wanderlust vibe? [Question]

I bought the game on release and like many was deeply disappointed with the unmet promises and after about 100 hours, set it aside. I've recently tried getting back into the game, and so far I'm enjoying its updates (though its still not quite what was promised in the E3 trailer... Where are my scripted creature interactions?), but there is one thing that's been bothering me and that's the insistence on putting down roots asap. I'm only 3 jumps into the Artemis story, but so far it seems that almost every quest NPC is expecting me to already have a base and some desire to continue expanding it. The problem is the one thing I really loved about the launch version of the game was the drive of open-ended exploration that really only wanted you to go forth and find interesting stuff.

So that brings me here... Is there a way / what is the best way to preserve the old wanderlust that the game does so well while still advancing the story? I'd thought about jumping a couple more times to get the free freighter that I'd read about, but even that seems like its giving up on the joy of just wandering around because instead of being a solitary explorer, you suddenly have a whole crew following you around the galaxy. On the other hand, from what I've read, you need a base for most of the best ways of earning income, so maybe the old way just doesn't really work anymore?

Anyway, I'm hoping some here can give me guidance on what my options are and/or what the best course of action might be.

Thanks

Possible Updates to Cooking and/or Farming? [Discussion]

I was doing the Weekend Quicksilver Quest thing earlier today and had a thought: with base-building getting a giant overhaul and settlements being a thing, do you think a future major update will expand on cooking and farming in the same vein?

As I was running around simultaneously fleeing from and feeding the local wildlife, I idly wished that we were able to grow proper food items: sweet root, hexaberries, hept-something wheat, and so on. Why can't we do that yet?

If nothing else, a goddamn cookbook would be nice! Even if we have to catalogue what's in it ourselves - i.e. new recipes "unlock" as you stumble across them via trial and error - it would still be a significant improvement over the current system!

No Man's Sky has painted itself into a niche. [Information]

So I have been a fan of the game since jump street and greatly appreciate the monumental efforts the devs have made to make this game awesome but...HG has pigeonholed themselves. Yup, I said it. The game is visually and technically impressive but what happens when there's nothing left? For now, aside from expeditions and settlements, this game is essentially Minecraft in space. Stop marking out, it's Minecraft in space. There is literally nothing for folks who have interests that diverge from base building. Make no mistake, HG has programmed a winner....for builders. For the rest of us, there's nothing left. If we do not like the 40 or so new building parts...well, that's life. No story, no challenge...just "heres a slew of base parts." That's fine if that's what the devs are going for. However, for the rest of us who enjoy adventuring in a Sci-Fi world...what is left? Yup, Minecraft in space. I admire all the awesome creations the community have made, and I'll admit I wish I had those sorts of skills. Kudos guys (and girls!!). Though the game holds quite little for those who lack those skills and I am betting that is the majority of players. Personally, I'm done. I've reached the center on normal, survival, and permadeath modes. I've built settlements and conquered three expeditions. I have a full set of achievements on two consoles. The game now is simply geared towards those who will take a deep dive on...er...Minecraft in space. Thanks for the good times HG, but on your 5th anniversary you have pandered to base builders and not a wider proportion of the gaming audience. I'll continue to appreciate the amazing creations of the NMS community...but you are quite literally Minecraft in space.

Expeditions question, using the save after the event ends? [Question]

I'm doing my best to catch up on all the changes I've missed the last couple years. Reading up I saw that expedition saves can be converted to normal saves at the end of the event. Is this correct? Assuming yes, do they jump back to letting you run all the normal quests?

Asking mostly because I had started a new game, put a few hours in, then run the expedition. So I have a choice of return to that fresh game, or continue the expedition save as my new start game. I have a much bigger head start in the expedition save than the other, so I think it makes sense to run with that one? Just don't want to waste a bunch of time it my assumptions are wrong and in a few weeks I'm left with a useless save that won't let me run the normal storylines.

The game is much better now since release and the devs already delivered but I want much more from such a huge universe. Variety in planets, better procedural generation, much cooler storms, like tornados and tsunamis the size of mountains like interstellar. gas Giants you can enter with extremally high tech(but still have it be insanely dangerous), actual orbits and stars you can get close to, blackholes that feel like black holes. cities, much better AI, far more interesting battles on the ground, better space battles, better multiplayer.

NMS save date lost (again). Is it worth starting over? [Question]

Short version: I lost about 150 hours of gameplay/progress, is it worth (practically) starting over? specifically since the last update Frontiers?

I'm starting over from about 20 hours in 🥲

Long version: I pre-ordered this game and picked it up the day it came out from Gamestop (if I only knew then what I know now....). I played for about 50 hours, loving every minute of it despite the huge letdown yada yada yada we all know about that, I loved the grind. Anyways, I stopped playing for a while and when I went to play again, all my data had been wiped. I was like whatever, I'll start over. So I went about starting my journey again. Put in another 30/40 hours but got much further than my previous game cause duh, I knew a ton more. I stop playing again because I got really into GTA Online so I didn't play for a long time, maybe about a year and some change. I pick it up again and once again all my save data is gone.

I'd acquired a PSVR so I got the chance to try that out which was pretty cool for a while but eventually went back to just playing on my PS4 Pro. Put in a TON of time with my assistant manager from work building an epic sky castle carbon/oxygen farm, collecting glyphs to get the squid ship (that never spawned for me 😐), cataloging and building homes on paradise planets, etc. Got up to about 152 hours last I remember. Then I stopped playing for a while because I was kinda burnt out lol. Then my hard drive crashes a few weeks later.

Problems constructing the large domicile in Settlement? [Bug]

Hello, I've seen there have been some bugs in the settlement update but mostly I haven't experienced many. I'm far enough along though that I could begin construction on a larger domicile in my settlement but after starting it the construction area does not have a terminal or any way to interact to supply any materials for completion.

Physical copy shortage or are they becoming rare now? [Discussion]

I've been wanting to play NMS since last year and it's really difficult to find a second-hand physical copy since the game started receiving good reviews. A couple of years ago, people have been selling their copies left and right but now everyone's holding on to their own copies.

I mean, that's good since Hello Games deserve all the praise and all their hard work is now paying off. However, for a full-time student like me, I can only rely on finding a good preloved copy on the market. Hoping to experience this masterpiece soon!

I had to go offline to do most of the starbirth quest and now I'm doing the main quest so I can get glyphs and there's more time gates. I shouldn't have to play offline to play at a my own pace. I vaguely remember paying for this game and downloading it on my Xbox, not downloading it for free from the fucking Google play store on my cell phone. This isn't 2010's Facebook it's a $60 game. Having a lot of content that takes a long time to do is great, having content you can't do for 20 hours at a time is garbage.

New player questions regarding multiplayer [Question]

I bought this game now that I've heard they've worked so hard on this game and that it's something completely different from the launch. I started playing with my girlfriend but after some ~3 hours of gameplay we faced a LOT of issues regarding multiplayer.

It feels like the multiplayer capabilities in this game are very limited. First of all there's a base building quest line in the beginning of the game, and only I got the follow ups of the quest, as I started the base. She was able to do some of the parts but at the point you need to create a teleport, she just stopped receiving any follow ups in the quest.

Afterwards we found a lot of different stuff in the world, like small side quests, that only I got because I interacted with some terminal, or that I interacted first with some alien, or that I found some distress beacon that my girlfriend cannot see or activate herself. My girlfriend is super frustrated about the game right now, as it feels like she's just tagging along into a solo campaign.

Is this game still very clunky regarding multiplayer, or are we just playing it wrong? It feels like the game thinks that any player is the same player, and that if someone triggers something, the other player can't do the same thing.

We thought that after all these years and the recent hype, the game would be super enjoyable now but it still feels like it's in beta or something.

Old timer getting back into the game [Information]

Originally, I bought the game in early access. We all remember how that went, it wasn't a bad game really, it's just that the lack of variety and the huge grind required became a bit too much at some point. Jumped back into the game when bases were added, but it still didn't engage me enough to keep me playing for very long.

Now the game has been overhauled significantly and seems to be bursting with content, and despite having played most of the main mission (I'm supposed to start travelling towards the centre now), there is still a lot to do and discover. It almost became a different game, no where near the same amount of grind needed, and so much more stuff to do.

The only thing really is discovering certain things, no clue how to get a living ship for example, it seems from what I read that it will happen by itself eventually?

In any case, love how they've developed the game, and looking forward to see what else they have in store for us. Any tips or hints are welcomed. :)

The last thing I need to do for Phase 1 is Any Port in a Storm (enter a building during a storm), but when I used my signal booster, it located something 22 hours away from me. I figured at the time I'd just work on repairing the ship and just fly over here, but after spending a couple hours slowly unlocking the necessary blueprints and grinding the materials, I can't progress any further.

I'm stuck on the Herox. I don't get the blueprint until I visit a planetary depot. Can't find a planetary depot unless I can fly because when I scan my area, there are no buildings around at all, and the signal booster won't let me search for anything else until I go to the settlement 22 hours away.

Cant believe I wasn't more careful and made more backups. This was my main save with over 700hrs of play time with 98% achievements completed (only permadeath and one other missing). over 1.5 billion credits, all my S ships, S class freighter (all storage unlocked), 20-25 S Class frigates, storage containers full of loot and items, worst of all is dozen or so bases.

I was trying to fix error I was having with my settlement. Sometimes saving or warping to the settlement would cause a game crash.

Fortunately, I have game on PC, and I had another character that has visited some of the same bases/systems. I was able to get my main system with snowbase and few others with portals. I will eventually try to find some of my lost paradise planets.

A suggestion for ship customization using existing space station mechanics [Suggestion]

The amount of RNG for finding a ship to be fully happy with is driving me insane .. there's always that one attachment .. or the colors .. or the cab that makes me want to break stuff

I'm not sure what the stance is on having customizable ships .. but could we at least have a reduction in the amount of RNG involved

My suggestion is simple .. inside the ship outfitter interface in each space station add an option under upgrade ship to re-roll your current ships attachments to the current space stations RNG and the same for colors both at a cost of 5K nanites

This still keeps players feeling as though they need to keep going to new areas to new space stations but instead for a whole new RNG roll .. they could just grab the attachments or colors for the cab they have on their ship

​

tldr:

Option under Upgrade Ship in the ship outfitter interface in space stations to allow a re-roll of your current ships attachments and another one for colors @ 5K nanites each re-roll to reduce some of the RNG

But the Frontiers expansion? Holy. Shit. I got struck by lightning last night! And I got caught in a meteor shower! The new weather is awesome, and combined with the flora and fauna updates from both it and Prisms, it's like a whole new game.

I may be new, but I think I just figured something out? [Question]

Alright so I'm kinda new to NMS, remember the whole launch debocial, smiled when I saw HelloGames not retreat n do the standard thing of studios now a days, but I only got the game maybe 5 months ago n plugged like 30 hours into it in total. I know this is a long winded question just stick with me.

The short answer is how the heck am I gonna find preem level crashed ships? N is there a better method than I'm doing it?

Long version, I started playing n wasn't aware of the class stuff of ships n such, so I got the smallest n bottom barrel freighter, wasn't aware that better ones may show up n u can claim the big bois for free as well if you didn't claim the first. Also, when I found my first crashed ship I was stoked, I literally ran for it for 40 min cause I didn't have any exos like I do now, so I lost my old ships marker. Panicked I couldn't get it off the ground. Spent probably 2 hours looking for it, went back n got that crashed one off the ground. I went back to the freighter, and saw my old ship on the deck. So recently, I've just been putting storage on the freighter to organize different things into different holds, using it like a floating base n sending the frigates off to do things. Found out the crashed ships once claimed, if you keep ur ship close, will just be claimed n you can fly away in your main ship and use the freighter like a recovery team to haul the wreck back to the deck. You can also reach the storage on the freighter from the main deck, so you can repair ships on the freighter.

So the last week I've just bee grinding on hunting broken ships, claiming, finding broken ships, claiming, then freighter, repair them enough just to fly, and scrap them at the stations in orbit. Theres alot of YouTube videos I've tried to watch that are just "ya gotta be lucky" or "quick save on stations" but I'm not TRYING to get a really nice ship...

Do I lose my inventory (exosuit and tech)?

How much standing do you lose by abandoning missions? [Question]

So I thought I found a sweet way to maximize my missions. Take the ones I don't want to do (repair item, find person, etc.) and then abandon them. Keep doing this until I get all 4 or 5 missions to be tasks that I do want to do (feed animals, destroy Sentinels, etc.).

And I was fine with that for a while, but one day I noticed I lost a Gek standing. It doesn't happen every time I abandon a mission though. And when I tried looking at my standing before and after, I didn't notice a change (but I may have screwed that up).

Does anyone know if you lose standing for each mission you abandon? Or maybe the first time you abandon a mission of that type? That bit may explain why it doesn't happen all the time.

I'd much rather cycle through missions for the ones I want rather than pick 1 or 2 and move on to the next station.

I can't figure out this early quest and it is driving me to the point of not wanting to play again. Details in comments. [Question]

Sorry this is long, I'm trying to be as detailed as possible with what is going on and everything I have tried.

I was having fun until I got to this quest (The Space Anomaly) which seems that I can't complete it. I also don't seem to have any type of weather on any planet- while in a group with my friends they will have the same weather where I will have nothing and we will be standing right next to each other. No creatures are hostile to me except for sentinel drones.

Anyways, the quest: It says "The Space Anomaly is home to an array of other Travellers. Some will aid you in your journey, forging upgrades from Nanites. Others may ask for your assistance on their own journey. The Space Anomaly can be summoned from the Quick Menu x whenever you are in space."

On my HUD it says: "The Space Anomaly: Explore the SPace Anomaly. Visit Helios, the grand analyst. Helios will request anew data types each day.

I've spoken to Helios, gave him some data, he gave me some credits or whatever currency it is he gave me (this was hours ago, I apologize that I've forgotten the currency). I've used the currency to purchase a blueprint at the Construction Research Station, the Exosuit Research chick and the Synthesis Laboratory.

Priest Entity Nada and Specialist Polo I've already spoken to to start this part of the quest, they told me to go talk to everyone iirc, and I did, multiple times.

Currently there's just a marker at Helios and I have the options Give Data, which is greyed out, and Decline.

I've also tried going to another star system to summon the death star there as well, but I have the same issue. I've completely shut the game down completely and restarted it. Still nothing.

I really want to like this game, but this is getting ridiculous for me. I appreciate any help you guys...

Unable to get 60 fps anymore [Question]

Historically I was able to get 60 fps on the enhanced settings across the hoard. The longer i play though, the further my FPS drops. Now I'm unable to have stable 30 fps on the lowest settings. Uninstalling the game and reinstalling it gets me 60 fps for a couple of minutes but then it just drops no matter what. No other programs are running, pc is cleaned, etc. Any ideas? Game is unplayable at this point for me.

Can't summon Freighter anywhere in VR [Bug]

Hi all,

I'm a returning player here whose having a few issues playing on the original Rift/Touch Controllers. As the title says, I can't summon my Frieghter anywhere, either between systems or to locations within the current system (planetside or in space). The model is green which suggests a valid position, but clicking the trigger on my controller has no effect. I'm pretty certain that the controller is fine (other functions work, no problems in VR apps generally). I can summon it when in desktop mode on my Xbox style controller without any problems. This started a few updates ago, and was one of the reasons why I put the game aside for a while.

Has anyone else seen this and know a possible fix? Thanks all.

Weird Post-Processing Effect in VR [Bug]

I'm playing NMS in VR with Oculus Quest 2. Got everything on High settings, it all looks great. However, the trade routes in space (the faint colored lines going from space stations to planets etc) are all dark black and vibrating/fuzzy in my peripheral vision. That is, until I turn Post Processing effects to "Standard." Then, they go back to looking normal.

Is there another fix for this visual quirk in VR without having to basically turn Post Processing to low? I haven't really been able to find any posts about this specific issue.

Is the game worth buying in 2021? What's it like? [Question]

After almost five years of updates, I've heard that No Man's Sky has actually become a very successful game, but I want some confirmation from the community itself. Is it a good game, with lots of combat and freedom? Is there a large variety of activities you could do?

Can you transfer saves from PS5 to PS4? [Answered]

It's an unusual situation I feel, I can't find any resources online about it. I have a PS5, but I also have a PSVR and want to play this game in it. Problem is the native PS5 version doesn't support VR, I have to download the PS4 version. As a result I leave behind my save. Any way to fix this?

Kinda hope a future update makes planets in the sky more visible than just halos [Suggestion]

Maybe I'm misremembering, but I think in the earlier versions of the game, you could see the planet's more clearly in the sky when you were on a planet. At the very least it was more visible in the night sky. I wish hello games could make them more visible, cause other than on certain biomes like swamp/quagmire planets, all you can see is a ring created by the atmosphere. And at night the planets are so dark with a bright ring too. It kind of takes me out of some of the immersion. Maybe its a small nitpick, but I love any visual updates they do like the new nebulae and such.
