Learning Glyphs [Question]

How exactly do I go about doing it? I’ve found and used a portal with the glyph panel for the main story quests, but I’ve not actually learned any. Where do I find them? How is this different than putting in resources to activate each glyph at a portal? Also, portal have been pretty few and far between for me, is there a more direct way to find them?

I’ve got a few questions about settlements. [Question]

Not a newbie to the game but I can’t find much information on it, 1. What’s the cap on citizens living in settlements? 2. Is the only way to increase settlement tier through happiness, and if so do I just have to wait for citizen proposals for possible happiness benefits? 3. And also about housing, I must have built at least 6 structures by now, none of which being housing, so is a housing build project random as well? 4. Lastly, is there a maximum number of building projects? Don’t want to keep building landing pads and then find out I don’t have any more space for buildings I actually want (housing mostly)

What are your thoughts on 'miniboss'-type enemies? [Suggestion]

This idea was kind of inspired by my previous post about encountering a room aboard a Derelict Freighter that had serious "boss room" vibes but no actual boss inside. Got me wondering what it would be like if there was a boss of some sort in there.

Nothing too elaborate, given the nature of the game, but imagine some kind of giant swollen Swarm Horror with a series of chitinous plates or glowing orbs or something on its body that had to all be destroyed before the main body could be damaged, in a manner not unlike the Sentinel Walkers, with bonus rewards in store once it has been defeated.

In fact, why not apply the "Sentinel Walker" formula to other things, like Megafauna or Biological/Abyssal Horrors, to create other interesting 'miniboss' type combat encounters? Such things would need to be encountered deliberately via some means like guild or Nexus missions, or perhaps some kind of found structure like a "Quarantine Site" or even some sort of arena, but probably not something that's just going to jump you in the wild while you're just enjoying the scenery and not armed with an offense-based Multi-Tool.

TL;DR: What would you guys think of the addition of more "miniboss"-type optional encounters, e.g. Megafauna or Horrors, where you can defeat strong, armored creatures as part of special missions or within specific structures to put your custom Multi-Tool weaponry to good use and earn some neat goodies?

I really wish HG would start actually tieing up loose ends instead of adding a new one every update. [Discussion]

Pretty much the title. Guess I will have to wait until next year to actually see this game go somewhere.

We got spaceships but no true variation, or even modding/crafting. Not even species/faction related ships.

We got freighters but they are a flying inventory box combined with an annoying-to-access timer management minigame.

We have factions and races, but there is zero interaction between the two.

We have crafting, but literally zero use for hightech components.

We got derelict freigthers, but once you see two you have pretty much seen them all.

We got expeditions, yet I completed the last one in a relaxed weekend session so that's essentially nothing for now.

We got combat, but effectively 4 mobile enemy types and maybe the same number of hazardous fauna which is the same on every planet. Why even have shooting when there's nothing to shoot at?

We got bases, but nothing to do in them aside from stacking biodomes and placing a large refiner. Settlements are even worse in that regard: you expand it so you... can expand it more? Purely cosmetic changes that aside from eating some resources change nothing in how I interact with the game.

And after 5 years there still is no worthwhile lategame activity. There is no hunting for ship parts/gear. There is nothing rewarding you for the grind for the species/factions. There are no possible mammoth projects one could try to tackle, like expanding your settlement to the point where you can (extreme example) have them start building your own custom freigther. There is not even rare "fashion" to chase down to flex on others in the anomaly with your surpreme sense of aesthetics (or shameless lack thereof, Warframe's fashion game sure was one crazy mess sometimes).

Every part of this game is just another weird isolated extra-piece that...

How to use the compass in space? [Question]

Ok, long time player here, but one thing that's always frustrated me is how to use the compass display in space. The compass is 2d, but space is 3d.

So, for example, if I'm near a fleet, all the Recruitable Frigates show up on the Compass, but not in the Scanner.

(Definition time:

Compass : curved line at top of hud, also visible on foot etc showing heading to various points of interest

Scanner : Ship scanner in bottom center, showing freighters, planets, the space station, other ships; basically a copy of the one which Elite (the 1984 original) invented )

I just cannot fathom how to effectively use the compass to try to line up to a recruitable frigate (or any other waypoint on it) without spinning around like a madman for 10 minutes until I happen to line up the compass icon and my heading in 3d space close enough for it to then show up in my view.

Is there a trick to this that I've missed so far?

Ship spawn question [Question]

Spent all day curating a classic rock playlist [Meta]

I stuck in a bunch of thematically appropriate music and then rounded it out with some classic rock I generally like to listen to while playing. Currently includes 149 songs.

Genres include "trucker rock," "sci-fi rock," "yacht rock" etc. Think "Eastbound and Down," "Heart of Gold" and "Come Sail Away" for example.

Fellow seasoned interlopers, how... [Question]

...How do I continue to enjoy this game? I have about 279 hours, I've done everything. I have over 20,000,000,000 units in storage, I have everything researched, I was a PGSC star cabbie and have a base in every galaxy almost, completed the story, explored for probably most of my time playing the game, have more nanites than I know what to do with, have built countless mega bases etc etc. This is by far one of the most fantastic games I have ever played and I'm sad that I've reached the point where I have nothing left to do. I'm not the type to start over though I've been thinking about it. So, my question to all of you with far more hours than i have, what keeps you playing the game? What do you do when everything has already been done? I'd kill to play this game from the beginning with no memory of it, but obviously I cannot do that.

Suggestion - Super Rendering in Photo Mode [Suggestion]

Make an option that allows photo mode to drastically increase render distance of fauna, flora, materials, buildings, and other assets. Super render settings could be modified and would allow for much more cinematic shots over long distances, like valleys or hills.

Rendering all those extra assets would take time depending on platform so network would have to be off so the image freezes, and it wouldn't be enabled by default.

This would have the potential to make photos much more cinematic, as landscape photos would have much more quality.

Hazard Protection Unit vs. Hazard Protection Upgrade [Question]

Can someone explain to me whether I should even bother with Hazard Protection Units when the Hazard Protection Upgrades are essentially rechargeable hazard shields? Am I missing something?

From my understanding, the UNITS are a passive protection, offering better resistances. The UPGRADES are essentially separate shields that you can recharge when they get low. Is there really much benefit to using up your inventory slots with both when the upgrades alone seem to be perfectly substantial?

I just feel like I'm misunderstanding something here.

Find or Upgrade to an S Class ship [Question]

Since you can upgrade the class of a ship, what is the difference of locating an S Class ship or finding a lower class ship you like and upgrading it? Does the class do anything once you buy it? I understand an S class will have more slots and more modules added when you first find it. But once you upgrade the ship with what you want for modules and upgrade class to S, is there a difference?

Artemis path missions not showing on expedition save? [Question]

Hi all, newbie here.

I finished expedition 3, but the expedition save isn't converting to a normal save. Additionally, the Artemis path mission never started, I assume this is because of the alternative start.

2 questions: How do you finish the expedition and have the save converted to a standard save? Does this happen at the end of the expedition time frame? How do I initiate the Artemis path? I have the primary mission "The Space Anomaly" but it is telling me to continue the search for Artemis, which isn't in any of my missions. Will this be fixed when the save is converted to a standard save?

Lost my capital ship save after hours of searching [Bug]

I figured I had to come here to vent my frustration with what just occurred to me.

As the title would imply, I had been searching for a capital ship for quite a few hours. Just was not getting the battle to spawn, and when it finally did it was the EXACT ship I was looking for. I saved on the space station and went to work on the grind for an S class.

After about 8-9 reloads, I finished the battle and went into the freighter again. Only this time, my ship somehow got clipped into a corner of the freighters geometry. I died so quickly I didn't even have a chance to reload my save, and when I respawned the save was gone, along with the freighter. Have to start all over again.

I'm pretty patient when it come to grinding stuff out in games. But this one was rough. Has anyone else had this happen?

Proposed update idea: land based bounty missions [Suggestion]

Now with the settlement update, it would be cool if there was bounty missions on land, rather than just the ship to ship combat.

You could get wanted notifications for characters in settlements you have to track down. If you are the overseer of a settlement with a wanted criminal, you could have a choice whether to hand them over to over players or not. Maybe you pay off their bounty for them, or risk losing a useful member of your settlement.

Also you could have dogfights that results in enemies crash landing on a nearby planet, which you have to track on foot. Companions could be used to track them like a bloodhound.

What do you think?

Nexus missions really need an overhaul [Discussion]

It's kind of unbelievable that it's been the same eight or so missions over and over for I can't remember how long. Destroy pirates. Raid a depot. Tame animals. And some are just awful (I'm looking at you "scanning flora".)

There is so little creativity or interest to them. If I do the depot raiding mission in the same system, it repeatedly sends me to the same planet and the same depot I already raided. I don't even have to destroy anything again. I just get the reward. For the quad servo mission, I can just use 15 quad servo that I keep in storage.

It doesn't seem like it would take much effort to add greater variety and creativity to these missions. And it could potentially add some interesting features to the daily/weekly game play for those of us who are at the "endgame" stage of the game already. Make me run around and explore new planets and systems, or go on deep dives underwater or explore deep into caves. Send me somewhere dangerous. Give me something new to do.

Just started Expedition 3: Cartographers - some basic questions [Question]

I've been playing on the same NMS save since 2018 (Xbox One), and this is the first expedition I've gotten around to playing. Since it's been years and multiple changes via updates since I actually started a new game, I have no idea how to learn recipes for crafting now. My ship needs stuff I can't craft (like Herox), the nearest alien building is an hour away, the nearest trading station is about 8 hours away.

So - how do I learn how to craft stuff? Like I said, I did all this years ago, and with 900 hours into that save, I haven't had to do this in a long, long time. I can't imagine that I have to walk an hour or eight to find a place to buy the things I can't craft, then walk all the way back to my ship? But then with the randomness of NMS, maybe I do? Help!

Why I think Expedition 3 has been the best Expedition [Information]

I've beaten All expeditions and I rank them

3 Best by far

1

2 Worst, but not bad

1 was really something else, it had a lot of variety in the missions and took me 20 hours. A little grindy but I finished it none the less. At the end I was reluctant to leave the game, because it felt like I was just abondoning a story behind. These expeditions feel like a new story, not a linear or coded one, but I created that story on my own. I grew attached to my dream ship, a white/gold royal 7 with folding wings, my Diplo pet named zero-zero whom I took everywhere, and I was especially attached to this one planet with the greatest mountains I've ever seen. I ended my run with all my things on that planet, and a few seconds after I claimed the Vector a sandworm breached the ground and flew over. A satisfying conclusion, I was a little saddened I was leaving my journey and story behind, but I moved on.

Great execution

Expedition 2 was pretty short, but felt more linear than 1. I don't remember much but it was fairly easy and a break from 1 so I took it for granted, but I don't really remember anything significant besides the Normandy summoning

Pretty good execution

And now, expedition 3. I had been waiting for months, and I thought they probably had just canceled the development of the expedition to work on other things, but boy was I wrong

I was skeptical of exp 3 at first The planet looked boring Looked grindy One repetitive planet And would either be short or unnecessarily grindy

I played a bit but I had some crashes to so I decided to give it a bit

Nearly 4 weeks later. I have 3 days to complete a barely started expedition, when the 3 days are up I will not have the time to finish it

How to get power to a stone base? Stone walls with windows not counting as inside? [Question]

I haven't played the game in a while and the timber, stone, alloy building pieces are new to me. I'm trying to build a new base out of the stone pieces but I don't know how to power it. Up until this point I've used the large prefabs which have a outlet built into them so powering stuff is simple. I have roof lights in a stone building but it doesn't have power. The base has electromagnetic generator power so supply isn't an issue. I just don't know how to connect the lights to power without an electric cable connection.

Also, my base has large window stone walls, and when I go near them it isn't counted as inside the base anymore (oxygen is used, helmet light turns on a night, etc), why is that? Base windows that don't shield me from the elements is useless, do the other materials work and just stone is messed up?

Ship disappeared/ Ship lost it‘s own interior [Bug]

05.10.2021 On the PS4

I'm in a space station to upgrade my spaceship. Suddenly all of my spaceships spawn in the station and in some cases I got two explorer ships as gifts, which I have never seen myself before.

After I flew from the station and just did a hub mission for a while, all my ships have disappeared except the one that I was actively using and this no longer has its own interior (like technology), but from an older butcher ship it took over the stats and it also took over the values ​�for damage and shield.

I know there's plenty, but what should I do? I'm looking for something that makes a lot of money or a decent amount of money, is close to passive, is simple and can utilize every tech as I've unlocked all the recipes and everything already. Let me know!

Can't find the best mold farm again [Question]

So I had found the perfect runaway mold farm someone had built. There was a road between two sites that if you traveled it, was far enough for the sites to respawn so you could just hop in the exocraft and go back and forth. But now...I can't remember which base it was and there are a ton of bases on the planet. It might even be on another planet I have with a ton of mold farm bases. Any tips on how to figure out which one it could have been? I've gone to so many bases on both planets and haven't found that perfect farm again yet.

Has anyone ever found a spooky planet? [Question]

In the spirit of Halloween, and my love of general spoopy and dark vibes, I was wondering if anyone has ever seen such a planet?

Now, obviously I don't mean with pumpkins, decorations, and trick or treating occurring; but anything that has actually felt creepy, dark, or mysterious. I saw a screenshot in minecraft of a pretty convincing 'Autumn forest' (convincing for blocks anyway), but I've never played and would rather not, if I can possibly find what I am looking for in the beloved NMS.

Severe lag above standard quality. [Discussion]

I've recently purchased No Mans Sky and honestly, it's been fun so far, but I've noticed that the game lags horrifically at anything above standard quality and even then it would lag slightly. Let it be known that I have an RTX 2080, 16 GB of ram, and an i7 intel CPU not the best setup in the world but I would imagine that it should be running smoother than it is. It isn't a huge deal but it would be nice to play with nicer graphics. Is the same happening with you guys or is it just on my side of things?

Suggested Settlement Gameplay Improvements. [Suggestion]

I know these types are posts are usually boring to read. I am sure this one will be no different.

-Settlements improvements. - What if our settlers could be assigned to travel to our other bases and collect resources? We have mines setup, could we not assign one or more to go on an expedition, and collect these resources. We could have a crafting building that stockpiles these and can build an improved item. I.E. Thermic Condensate, or Enriched Carbon, Then further items as you have these. They could build slowly as not to break the economy in the game. A cap perhaps based on how many free settlers you have.

-Farms on Settlements could actually collect milk- You tame a creature and bring it back to the settlement. The Number of assigned Settlers controls how many animals you can keep at once.

-Perhaps a Settlement research lab - You "Donate" resources / Units and free settlers to research upgrades at random. I.E. For Ship, Freighter, Exosuit, etc... All of which are random, with high value ones being less frequent. You could also "pay" (In Game Resources) for higher chances on higher value items.

-This has been mentioned, but what about Missions where another settlement contacts your settlement for help, and if assist them there is some reward. I.E. Trade Deal, or Units. Help can include defense from sentinels, donations in the form of rare resources, blueprints. Perhaps they need you to build a power supply.

Expedition save copied normal save data [Bug]

I just noticed this strange bug, no idea when it hit. I have two completed Cartographer Expedition saves from around 9/14-15. My main save is an old one I've had going for awhile with 280 hours. I decided to check out my second expedition save and on the select save game screen it now has 259 hours of play time. When I loaded that save it had all of my progress from my main save just from 259 hours ago. Not a big deal really since I completed the expedition on both saves just disappointed I couldn't pick up where I left off.

Help, I built too much! [Question]

I may have ruined my save and I need advice.

So now I'm at a point where when I start the game up I get about 3-4 seconds before it crashes. The last auto save and manual save are in the base, what can I do as I'd rather not start over.

No Man's Sky concept update : Landmarks [Suggestion]

The landmarks update would build off of what expedition 3 did

Feature 1: natural landmarks

These landmarks would be chunks of terrain different from the rest of the planet Examples: Mountain Cliffside Spire Mega cave Rivers Mega lakes Strange terrain Crashed space stations (super rare)

These would make exploring more interesting, and would be uncommon, but not rare, maybe 1 or 2 in 50000u

They could be small or huge, size of a hill, or reaching to the heavens

Finding a base location would also be improved, as building a home next to these landmarks gives you A general idea of where you are in the area, and overall look pretty cool

Feature 2 : Resources and Crafting

Many new special elements are added, and each planet has 2-3 special elements

Special elements include: Argon Lithium Calcium Neon Fluorine Magnesium Sulfer Boron And many more

What makes these different from other materials (phosphorus, parafinium, ammonia, etc...) Is that they aren't dependant on the planet biome. Any planet can have argon, or neon. But each planet only gets 2-3 elements. These special elements have to be harvested in special deposits only able to mine with special mining technology

These deposits are fairly common, but are usually not in walking distance from a base, but an exocraft can get there quickly. You are allowed to place the special mining equipment needed inside a base, but if outside the base you try to place a base computer or any other beacon in an area with equipment near it will not allow you. No beacons to point out the mining site

This creates a need for exocrafts and learning your surrounding, and the new landmarks. You will have to map where that mining deposit was and you can use a ship, but remember, no beacon to point it out, so using exocrafts is much easier

To gather the materials it works the same as normal automated mines,...

After dying in my last permadeath save I restarted immediately trying to make up progress but my game glitched, my beacon was inside of a volcano. This being the beacon that leads you to the hermetic seal I had no waypoint to find it, but i didn't give up. I loaded up on ion batteries and life support gel and we to search. And with all that I've learned so far I actually found it. I knew from my last run that it was roughly 900u away from my ship and that damaged machinery is almost always near those structures.

Side missions?? [Question]

So "Dreams of the Deep" was a pretty cool little side mission that took you to multiple places and rewarded you with something. (Trying to not do spoilers)

There's also an item called the Void Egg that also had a set of missions and locations that ultimately reward you with something unique.

There doesn't seem to be any other missions like them?? I'm fairly new to they game and was wondering if there are any more missions like the two that I mentioned???

Most of the game's missions just seem to be teaching you a basic mechanic and rewarding you with something you'll ultimately need like a crafting recipe or something that you could technically just buy at the anomaly.

At least Dreams of the Deep comes naturally through just exploring but the Void Egg cost a lot of Quicksilver so unless your saving up or even know about it you may never experience that littler side quest.

Are there any more missions like those two??

Euclid data mining: planetary and solar data for 523 planets across 112 yellow star systems [Information]

I embarked on a small project a couple of weeks back to collect data on stars and planets in Euclid. Mostly, I was curious about how stellar designations like F3p and F6f and so on affect proceedural generation of planets (TL;DR answer: somewhat, though not as much as you'd think). So I came up with a methodology to sample star systems that eliminated sampling bias--or at least reigned it in--and then literally took to the stars. In the game. If I had taken to the stars in real life, this would be a very different message.

This is still a work in progress, but I am ready to share what I have. Per the subject line, this is my collection of data for 523 planets across 112 yellow star systems.

The Data

First of all, this is for yellow stars in Euclid only, since that's probably where most people spend the bulk of their time. So F and G class stars. I didn't capture everything, since I didn't want this to consume my life (e.g., I didn't go looking for flora and fauna, exotic starships, and the like): just data about the planets and stars themselves.

For stars, I limited it to what would reasonably be expected to influence planet generation. This includes: Stellar class (F, G) Relative temperature (0-9) Presence of water in the system Coordinates/glyphs Singular, binary, or trinary star system Number of space encounters that occurred while pulsing between planets

For planets: Planet type and biome Rings and moons Planet index (for use with portal glyphs) Sentinel activity level Presence of infestation Any subbiomes (for exotics, planets with mega-flora, and lush planets with exotic features like bubbles) Presence of a glitch ("glitch" meaning, something that affects the planet's visuals, e.g. dichromacy,...

Tips for farming nanites [Information]

Hey fellow travellers,

I have finally managed to set up a nice nanite farm and thought I'd share a few tips for those who would like to do the same.

What I did was explore a few radioactive planets, searching for a good spot of "curious deposits". It should show on your scanner, but at short range, so it may take a while. It is the most difficult / longest step of all and you are gonna need some extra hazard protection. So far, almost every radioactive planet I have visited had curious deposits.

Once you have found one, you can build a base around it. Build some walls to catch the deposits, as they will start rolling downhill as soon as you'll start mining them.

If possible, wait for a radioactive storm (ionic storms I think they're called). They increase mining output. I usually get ~450-500 runaway mould per deposit, ~1250-1400 during a storm.

You can redo that last step over and over again, as curious deposits respawn every time you leave the base / enter the starship / come back (not sure what exactly triggers the respawn). Refining 9999 of them takes about 25 minutes and creates 1999 nanites. (ratio 5:1)

Hope this helps!

My friend came to test it out and we have realised that he cannot interact with the ball if I have spawned it in, the ball just won't move when he hits it. It also doesn't work for me if he spawns the ball in. Is there any way around this problem? We tried partying up and that didn't seem to work either.

Freighter batttle patched? [Information]

I can confirm(at least on my game) that after the first time, you are not guaranteed the set number again(3 hours and 5 jumps). It took well over 5 hours and 14 jumps the first time(after the original one was declined), 7 jumps the second time, 2 jumps the third time, 24 jumps the fourth time, and 1 jump the fifth time. So the old save and jump back no longer works. At least not for me. Can anyone else confirm this?

Should I settle for a A class Free freighter [Question]

I'm still new to this game, playing less than a week. I finally found an A class Dreadnaught with 31 slots is this good or should I keep trying for an S class?

POTENTIALLY UNPOPULAR OPINION: Too many stars in space [Question]

Personally I believe the Prisms update went to far with the amount of stars we can see while on planets and in space. Yes I understand its a space game and that means STARS! But frankly the amount they increased them too is way too much for me and reduces the immersion and that 'lost in space' feel. Does anyone know of any mods to reduce them? Or even what script file controls the amount of stars? Any help is much appreciated.

Is it less likely to find earth like planets now? [Question]

When I say earth like I honestly just mean green grass and blue water. From what I’ve looked up it doesn’t seem like it should be as hard as it is for me. I’ve encountered a lot of yellow grass with blue water, some yellow grass with red water, and a few green grass with red water. I’m referencing lush planets if this weren’t obvious. Am I just experiencing misfortune or is the combo I want actually rarer?

Simple Question: Where to find the first Container? [Question]

Hello, Its ridicolous but i cant find the answer. My Problem detailed: I play in coop, made the base tutorial. Now i am in the primary mission "awakening" , on the point i have to install the warp drive. I build a teleport, a base, the Thing where i can Research blueprints (dont know the english Name, i play in german and if i translate it, it will be constructionresearchstation). In this Thing i have 4 Tabs, 3 for building blocks like walls, roofs etc. One for stone, one for Metal, one for wood. The 4th Tab is technology, where i can find the generator, teleportet etc. But there isnt such a thing like a container. So i am looking in the build menu. Still nothing. Just 6 tabs: mobile tech, wooden structures, Metal structures, advanced tech, Energy, decoration.

The only Info i can find , the blueprint for the first container should be in the archive of base Computer. So i think i should have it on this point. I know that the other Containers are related to quest later, so thats not the matter. My gf and coop Partner is at the same point with the same problem.

Can anyone Tell me where it supposed to be? In which category of which device and on which point of the Tutorial? Thanks a lot, its very frustrating to hang on this simple Thing.

Placement guides. [Question]

Hey everyone,

I recently started playing NMS, and so far I'm liking it. But I'm running into a bit of an annoyance, and I was hoping someone could help me.

When I place down machines and structures, I want to be able to precisely place them. For example if I place 3 Medium Refineries next to eachother, I want to be able to precisely line them up. So far I haven't found out how to do this, so I was wondering if there's maybe a tool or a shortcut for doing this that I don't know about yet.

Or is there perhaps a mod for the game that would allow this kind of placement control? Where for example you place down a floor panel, and you try to place a machine on the floor panel, a few placement spots appear on the floor panel on where you can place the machine, or maybe something like that.

How far into game are the new mechanics? [Question]

Hi yall! I've been away from NMS for about a year. I want to get back into it but my bad memory means I need to relearn everything about getting around and fighting again. My current game is about 150hrs in. I have a living ship, a maxxed freighter, a whole giant fleet.

I really want to play with the new improved building, the settlements, planet life, but am afraid to start a new game just to relearn when it seems like I can do all the new stuff on my current file. If I were to do so, how far into the game are settlements revealed? Would it be worth a whole new file just to learn again, and start fresh? Or should I just stumble through it til I remember how to play and figure out how to find the settlements?

[Xbox Series X] Save game isn't saving? [Question]

Wife played yesterday extensively on her profile, but everything she did is gone. For some reason, it shows her last save as 10/5 instead of 10/6. Any ideas what could cause this? She had been traversing multiple galaxies, so it should've saved repeatedly when she got in and out of her ship. The only thing I can think of is that she's playing on her profile (which is secondary on the console - and it's not my home console) with my account logged in so she can have access to the game. But even then, I'd think it would've still saved a local copy and not overwrote her new save with an old one.

Any tips on how to avoid this from happening again? She's pretty not happy - and losing hours of work is likely to make her not want to play again if it keeps happening.

Tamed animals slower than wild counterparts? [Question]

As with my last post, I'm still enjoying the game a lot but have found yet another quirk with the game.

It seems some wild animals are much, MUCH faster than when they're tamed; I just came across a cool-ish long-legged strider of 7.3 meters. It was really fast in the wild, However when I tamed it, it suddenly became so much slower. When sprinting it's close to the wild counter-part but still not at the same speed.

Has anyone else come across this, and if so was it with the same long-legged strider animals or others?

My original (the graphic represents it) organization was The Cygnus Alpha Syndicate, I reorganized and created a story about a spawn of Gek lost... scattered... not the conquering kind like the First Spawn, but... wanting for reunification. I called them the Seventh Spawn. Needless to say, to keep up with such an idea... seems overwhelming, and I miss my little questionable morals organization of The Cygnus Alpha Syndicate.

Am I hosed? Initial distress signal and ship appear to be located underground. [Question]

Hi folks,

Am I hosed? I started a new No Man's Sky game on my brand new Xbox Series S, and it appears that the initial quest's distress signal objective and my wrecked ship are buried underground in the slope of a large volcano -- see the screencap below.

D'oh!

I didn't want to give up on finding a way to reach my objectives, and so I've spent around 3 hours trying to find a cave system or whatever that will lead me to the distress signal and my ship. After 3 hours of exploration, resource gathering, flora and fauna identification, etc. I'm about ready to give up ... which would be a shame since I've ID'd all of the fauna, I've collected huge piles of ferrite, carbon, cobalt, uranium, gold, etc., and I've generally gotten attached to this starter planet. I've even explored a Korvax planetary outpost, found a bunch of navigational data, found drop pod data, etc.

If I could craft a terrain manipulator, I know that I'd be able to excavate the distress signal and ship in a few seconds.

Should I give up and start a new game?

Cheers from Talis III!

(On an unrelated note, I've played the 3 hours of this game on my new Xbox Series S. I'm really glad that I upgraded from the crappy PC I was using before, and I'm also glad that I didn't have to buy an Xbox Series X or a PS5 to enjoy how wonderful this game looks!)

Would you support an update that improves combat in NMS? [Discussion]

In my opinion, it would be nice if we had an update that focused on improving combat in the game, and perhaps introduced a way for players who would like it, to be challenged. The derelict freighters so far have been the closest update I can think of that deals with combat, and they are a lot of fun; however there's still room for improvement with spaceship combat, and even exocraft combat. For example in my testing with other players, two players can't hurt eachother while in minotaurs, and so you can't have mechbattles between players; however, a minotaur can shoot a spacecraft down, and a spacecraft can blow up a minotaur, so there's that. Anyway would you support improvements to combat, and if so, how would those improvements look to you?

List of Already-Existing Features That Require Depth [Discussion]

So, about 2/3 of the comments I see on this sub are people begging for no more new mechanics and instead just fixing bugs and deepening features of the game that already exist. I don’t know if this has been done before, but I think if we are able to get a list going of suggestions for adding depth/fixes of features, then form it into a petition and get a sizable portion of the community to endorse it, and then present it or send it to HG or something then that would be a good way of actually getting heard. If they choose to do nothing after that then we at least know we tried and they don’t give a shit.

The possibility for greatness for this game is riiiight there. We all can feel it, that’s why we play it. Let’s not let that just be a hope, and let’s let them know what we, the consumers, think would be the best way to unlock that greatness.

I’ll start: deepening all combat encounters (sentinels on ground, sentinels in space, pirate attacks, derelict freighters, etc.) so that they continue to feel threatening as you upgrade your weapon. As it stands, the above are only really threats until about 40 hours of gameplay have elapsed. Lower degrees of encounter can remain easy, but there should be higher levels that continue to be challenging, perhaps scaling up as the multi-tool or ship’s Damage Potential does.

What do you all think? What needs to be changed/added/improved about existing features?

Agree? or nah [Suggestion]

Now, I'm a very big fan of survival games. The Forest and Subnautica would be my favorites. However, No Mans Sky could easily hop up there too if they added a few extra mechanics to SURVIVAL MODE specifically.

Hunger and Thirst - we can kill animals and coax milk and stuff from them already, why not grill that meat and use all those food items to provide buffs and keep us alive. Like real living things! We could use a refiner to create water or get it from a planet and clean/boil it and store it in bottles in our inventory.

FIRE - Building a fire for warmth and using carbon or cobalt or something to generate heat/power on a little stove or something to cook meat/food and boil alien water to store and drink.

Environmental Hazards- Completely remove our suits ability to protect us from radiation/ toxicity/fire/cold etc. If we land on a scorched planet and a fire storm hits and we arent in a shelter or our ship. We burn and if we survive we have to heal ourselves.

I feel like these are core mechanics to survival games and NMS is not a survival game because its way to easy to survive. I would effing love building a fire and grilling up some alien steaks from the successful hunt me and the homies just did while we swap stories about our brushes with death, surviving in space and boiling some water for frank because he ran out while we were hunting but forgot to tell us and now hes about to die.

So I finally got the game and started playing in Survival. Is the early game supposed to be this deadly? [Question]

Hi there,

I finally got No Man's Sky after years of hearing the game getting better and better and watching Internet Historian's video. When I saw the different modes I immediately picked Survival since it mentioned extra hazards and I usually like extra challenges, however after the intro cutscene I immediately started taking damage, apparently I spawned on a highly radioactive planet and by the time the intro camera finished panning out my radioactive shield was completely depleted. Then after dying once and respawning with a full radioactive shield, I found that the plant that let you replenish it are far between, barely give you more radioactive shield than what is needed to reach the next plant, and most of all the scanner that lets you find them takes so much time to recharge that I'm sure to run out of shielding before then.

I tried starting another Survival game but had the exact same experience. Then I started a Permadeath game and found the game a lot more manageable.

Is it a random thing? Is the starting world only this radioactive on Survival? It's kind of a shame that the game gives you so many tooltips to read early on but you're a minute or two away from death and can't pause to read them.

Even when I leave the planet and try to leg it they follow with wave after wave of aircraft.. is there a way to outrun them or are there some tactics I'm missing to kill them easier?

Permadeath Glitch? [Bug]

So I just bought the game yesterday, and since I love playing hardcore mode in games like this I chose the Permadeath option for my game mode. It was a rough start for sure, but after 7 or 8 deaths and reloads, I was finally able to master the mechanics enough to get to my ship, repair it, and follow the tutorial to where it took me next. I built a small little shack, and started basic smelting/uprgrading/etc.. I even built a portal, but since I don't have any bases it didn't end up mattering.

Anyway, I get to the point where I have to call it a night, and figure like most games, I just hit "exit to Main Menu" or whatever, and it will save and quit. I clicked the same option for this game, but it prompted me with something like, "the game has not saved in 50 minutes, are you suuuuuuure?". So of course I wasn't down with that, and waited for the next autosave, even though I wasn't sure when that even happens. So I get an option to research a Save Machine or something, and I build it and use it to save. My night ends without incident.

Tonight I get on, and load into the game and finally get prompted to go to the Space Station out in motha fuckin space. I'm pumped, I can't wait to get to my ship. I start walking toward it and get attacked by some local fauna, and before I can stop panicking to react I die - DEAD - the weird quasi death quote being the only thing I can see. Right as this quote fades though, the game stops responding and a windows prompt comes up giving me the option to close, so I do.

It was a rough blow, but that's the road I chose so time to get over it. I boot the game back up and I go to start a new game and a new adventure, only, I can still access my Permadeath file. It even says, "Permadeath" next to the file, so there's no mistake. I click the file, and bam, there I am again in my little shack from back when I saved at the Save Machine contraption thing last night....

The Gravitino Panic [Discussion]

I'm sure at least one time I remember reading don't mess with the gravitino balls, but there I was digging for keys in ancient ruins and one popped out of the dirt so I grabbed it. Suddenly I'm surrounded by angry shooting sentinels and a walker is coming right at me. Instinctively I start digging, except there's ruins under me so I have to burrow sideways for a looooong time while the ground above me is flashing red with constant gunfire. I don't wanna die, I don't wanna die, I keep chanting as I finally get down to deep silicate and burrow several hundred units away from the ruin until the sentinels give up and stop following me. Most terrifying 10 minutes of the game so far for me.

Expedition confusion [Question]

I just returned to NMS for the first time in a long time. I did Expedition 3, which was my first expedition. I've reached the end and now I'm completely confused.

  1. I completed all the stages and got the rewards for each one, but the "Complete Expedition" mission is still in my log and the final checkbox marking completion is still unchecked.

  2. My log says the friendly chaps from the Anomaly will give me more information and missions, and it says to go to a specific mission in my log (I can't recall the name of it.) to continue, but that mission is not in my log.

  3. I plan to continue my game from my expedition save rather than my old standard one. A game tip tells me my expedition save will be converted to a standard save if I wish. I do wish, so how do I do it? Will I get the choice when the expedition time period ends?

Thanks!

I got a walker brain! [Information]

Weeks ago I learned the blueprint for a conflict scanner, but I couldn't finish installing it because I needed a walker brain. I left it unfinished in my ship, flashing at me as a reminder.

Yesterday I was on a planet with aggressive sentinels, and decided to pick a fight to see if I could get a walker brain. One important thing to note is up to this point I thought a 'walker' was the quad-leg dog sentinel. I've killed one or two of them before and only received a quad servo, but I thought maybe you got different things, and I was just unlucky not to get a brain. (Trying not to laugh at myself as I type this.)

So I start a fight with the sentinels, and after killing two of the dogs and getting quad servos I start to get annoyed at what I think is my bad luck, when I hear the announcement that a sentinel walker was on the way. I finally clued in to the fact that what I thought was a walker was not in fact a walker, and I needed to quickly come up with a plan.

I'm sure there are better ways to kill walkers, but I jumped into my ship and took off, and spent the next few minutes flying low and slow passes above the walker while strafing it with my photon cannon. Eventually I killed the walker, got its brain, and now I have a working conflict scanner.

This game is so fun!

My Stranger’s Coordinates… are inside a volcano. I can’t drill through/under it. I can’t even come close to accessing it since I burn up upon even getting close to the crater.

Idea I had about the future of NMS… [Discussion]

Love the game! But I feel it’s missing some important things. Uncharted systems are… blah. Multiplayer is great base building and all… but there really isn’t a reason other than getting together to play multiplayer. Nexus missions. What can I say… easy to solo this multiplayer still not important.

Idea! Ok, so definitely up for discussion, please no negativity.

Introduce a new vendor. A weaponry vendor. Multi-tools are cool and all but we are in space with different races and sentinels! Obviously new and old resources need to be farmed to build a base gun. (could have more than 1 type. Some examples shotgun, plasma rifle, sub… you get the idea.) After building a base gun, more new and old materials to be farmed to build a wide range of different upgrade components (attachments) for your gun.

This gives a use for metal planets and such as these new resources could only be harvested from these planets making them more popular than they currently are.

Now, you’ve finally got your gun and a few upgrades for it. But now you need materials that you can’t find. Now cue new missions from a new mission vendor specifically for these missions.

Varied kinds could include:

Pirates- a mission involving a space battle with your starship. After killing off flying ships, you land on a freighter and infiltrate. Making your way through a maze of hallways, rooms, teleporters and dead ends filled with enemy life forms. Finally reaching the main control room where you meet the captain. 2 choices are presented to either kill and take all the loot or let live for a price. Each choice rewarding players with a different set of loot. Making replayability a must.

Abandoned Ancient Ruins - sent to an uncharted system you land on the marked planet. Aggressive sentinels and aggressive life forms along with fauna. You land and need to infiltrate a guarded building...

53 slots later, all on the same planet, and in one single string, it’s done. 45 cargo, 3 tech, and 5 regular ones have been unlocked.

I don’t know if this is normal. Past experience has been maybe half a dozen or so, then it would send me back to one I had already opened. Then fly somewhere else and start again.

An Idea for an update [Fan Work]

Have any of you ever been on your perfect lush world, your masterfully hand crafted bases, your golden vector, golden first spawn mask, Normandy, and Bio-Horror pet and wondered what now? well my idea for an update adds more life to worlds (not like the origins update) where there are planets with dense jungles and forests, and villages of procedurally generated native tribes found rarely on lush sentinel free worlds, they will be either friend or foe depending on how you treat them and anything near them, if you are friends with them then they would trade rare and valuable items they find and also trade simple resources that are a pain in the butt to acquire yourself such as Di-Hydrogen or Ferrite dust, if they are enemies they will throw spears and other primitive things at you, and occasionally attack your base or settlement (if its on the same planet as them) and possibly damage or destroy some things that require repairs. they will also spawn random moving patrols (similar to pillager patrols in Minecraft) the second and larger part of this update is something that adds a way to make galaxy hopping more difficult. Instead of buying 15 alien charts and waiting for one to locate a monolith you have to go to a populated spot of a planet or space stations and ask a shady guy, answer his riddle or pay him a large fee and he will give you an ancient map to a hidden temple on a planet, the temple will contain loot and bio horrors, as well as traps, puzzles and riddles galore! once you get to the end it will have a boss like bio horror like a giant spider or blob of tentacles hanging from the ceiling, and defeating it rewards you with valuable relics and a small monolith asking your wish, 3 things can be asked, 1, the location of a portal, 2 the learning of a LARGE amount of words in the local alien language, or 3, 500 nanites.

Suggestion: Improve/Add Audio Options [Suggestion]

For $60 I expect a lot these days. No Man's Sky certainly delivers on a number of those fronts, but it takes only a single button press to find a huge gap in content and player customization; it takes only getting into the Options page to find a game devoid of nearly any audio control. Say what you want about the game, but the distinct lack of ability to tweak the in-game audio is reprehensible.

To the game's credit, sound options aren't missing, but when all you've got is "Music Volume" and "SFX Volume" it feels like Hello Games fired their sound guys as soon as the game's OST was unveiled.

We need more! We need better sound! We need more control over the things we hear when we're playing the game! The menu we have right now feels amateurish and not-at-all indicative of what the game has to offer!

I'd like to offer an audio menu with no more complexity than the graphical menu, incorporating the following options and subsections: Music Volume Planetary Music (Traversing a Planet/Moon) Spacefaring Music (Flying across Space) Settlement Music (Space Stations, The Anomaly, Bases, Settlement, and other "safe" structures) Menu Music (Inventory, Options, Conversation, etc.) Effects Volume Exosuit Voice (Status/Inventory/Crafting Updates, etc.) Exosuit Effects (Jetpack, Shields, Inventory, etc.) Starship Effects (Thrusters, Weapons, Warps, Comm Signals, etc.) Tool Effects (Mining Beam, Scanner, Terrain Manipulator, Weapons, etc.) Alien Voices (NPC Conversation, Starship Comms, etc.) Alien Effects (Sentinels, NPC misc. sounds, etc.) Alien Starships (NPC's Thrusters, Weapons, etc.) Alien Tools (Sentinels, Combat Sounds, etc.) Exosuit Voice (A few options to choose from, changing the default voice of your Exosuit to something more pleasant, perhaps with options to have the voice in Gek/Vy'keen/Korvax languages at high-enough ranking with the respective species)

Quick and Dirty way to Get Ship Augmentation, Nanites and eve Units [Discussion]

Hi, so I have been doing a quick hustle to get augmentation spaces for my ship, nanites and maybe even a change in unites:

​

Go to a space station, wait for ships to arrive, scan them to find cheap ship, usually 550,000 units. Purchase the ship from pilot, and go straight to the starship outfitting terminal, scrap the ship. You will usually get ship upgrades that you can in turn sell for nanites on the ship researcher that sells upgrades on that base, and you will get a handfull of tradeable items form the scraps that you can sell at the terminal, or to another pilot that arrives on the space station. Sometimes among the item you get augmentation slots. Also you may get indium, activated indium, emeril, activated emeril, cadmium, activated cadmium, etc.

Usually the items you get, when sold, combined with the scrap value, give you more units than you used to purchase, so you get more unites, nanites for free, and sometimes augmentation spaces you can use on your own ship. Rinse and repeat for a litlle while and you will be able to complete all your ship storage slots, get nanite in the process, and even make some bucks.

​

P.S.: if you purchase more valuable ships, you get more valuable upgrades (A or even S tier) but you most likely will not recoup your units in the process, being that selling the ship for scrap only gets you3/4 of the value. For 550,00 ships it is easy to offset the difference, but for 1,500,000 or plus ships, the difference is bigger.

If you could expand on any established feature in the game, what would it be and why? [Suggestion]

Personally I think freighters are a bit lacking. Not to the point where they’re unusable, but building in them especially is a bit lacking. Doors in particular should already be included, and there isn’t really much variety in terms of rooms. For that matter, only being able to own six ships isn’t really fair. I’m the kind of guy who likes to collect these kinds of thing for sport, and the ship variety in the game is honestly too good to have a limit that small, especially since expeditions give away new ones.

Besides that, I’m hoping for more enemy variety. People seem to really want a combat update, but there isn’t really enough to fight to warrant one right now… unless they just add both at once. I imagine they’d mostly focus on sentinels, but ideally there should be a ton more threats and factions. I feel like the game is at its best when it’s doing something unique and/or weird, like the lore surrounding the Atlas, Waking Titan or even just living ships. There are plenty of threats you could add to planets. Imagine having to fight a golem made entirely of a procedurally generated material, or some kind of humanoid monstrosity created by the Abyss. Hell, why not have pirates raid space stations, forcing you to step in and fight them without a ship? There’s so much you could do with this.

What No Man’s Sky Lacks (imo), And How It Can Learn from Others: [Discussion, Spoiler]

I love this game. I have three hundred hours in this game, happily spent. This game has a glaring problem; there is not enough depth to its gameplay or its questlines. Before I start, I’d like to point out that although NMS is centered around exploration, it really does try to be an open-world RPG, as evidenced by the choices you make in the quests and the little fetchquests you do for standing, as well as the overall feel of the game. In no particular order, here are some things that I think are wrong with the game, along with possible solutions:

• Once you have a capital ship and a decent (~10 frigates) size fleet, money is no longer an object, and it loses all meaning. Nanites are a good currency, in that their rarity and usefulness are well-balanced throughout the game, but I think they should be left alone because they’d be better used in player progression (discussed below). The most direct solution, and the one that I think would be fantastic, is a player-driven market, a la EVE Online/RuneScape. Introducing some rare, boss-based or accomplishment-based items that can be traded to other players for millions of credits (e.g., Settlement upgrades, Fleet upgrades or cosmetics for either) would finally give the mid- to end-game players something to do with their vast wealth. This is not so easily implemented, but it is widely appreciated in every community that it exists in. Small note: Making it more obvious which items are going to be more- or less-profitable before warping/teleporting to a given system would be nice.

• We go through the whole Atlas quest for a Rememberance technology that basically does nothing except interactions with some objects sometimes and gives +1 heart. Same with Star Seed. Making the rewards for quests more enticing could spice up the game a lot. For example, making the Soul Ark the equivalent...

I had a farm. Then I tried building a base around since there's a bunch of sentinels and the weather is trash. I guess when you alter the terrain under where they spawn it doesn't work anymore?

I'm working on another, just building around the terrain, no terrain modification. Anything else I should be wary of so I don't end up destroying this farm too?

Q about The Purge (spoilers) [Spoiler]

Finished The Purge and was sent to Eissentam. My first time outside Euclid, hooray! Made repairs, flew to the space station, teleported back to my home base (in Euclid). Summoned the Anomaly, spoke to Nana and Polo, they didn't want to hear anything about 'the truth.' Now I don't see a way to teleport back to that space station in Eissentam. The game says to explore the new galaxy, but I'm in Euclid and everything is completely normal and as it was. Did I go astray somewhere? I really wanted to be in Eissentam. Am I SOL?

Exhausted with Valheim. Wondering if No-Man's Sky has similar themes. [Question]

Title says most of it.

Does No-Man's Sky have a lot of the same sorts of exploration/Crafting/gathering themes and game mechanics in it? I dabbled with the game a Loooooooooong time ago and got only an hour or so in, so I have kind of an idea of what the game has....but no real long-term details.

Some additional info: Myself and two friends have been playing valheim, but have basically beaten everything the game has to offer. Looking for a new game to jump into. Is No-Man's Sky multiplayer at all?

So I ran to the store while I was standing in the anomaly. When I got back my inventories where completely full. Starships inventory as well. So I sold it all. I went from about 200 million units to about 4.5 billion units.

What do I do with that many units? I have 2 AI farms so money wasnt an issue. I have noticed that you don't really need that many units. What the hell do I do with it all?

Crime [Discussion]

So there was a couple threads on here about adding more criminal aspects to the game ie. bounty hunting, settlement raids, pirate factions, and whatnot and an idea came to me

What if growing geknip became a legitimate criminal activity, like geknip farms are prone to sentinel raids where they can siphon out your supply and flying around with geknip on board draws sentinel starship attention if you fly too close to a fleet, only make the sale of geknip profitable in gek systems and only to traders in space and on trading posts where there isn’t assumed authority, like make the gek “narcotics” trade an actual dangerous undertaking instead of just another low profit plant, give the players some incentive to get good at it and establish creative means of production and having to hide your nip nip farms and whatnot, I think that could be a blast

Like an Exotic Hauler? Or an exotic explorer/fighter/ shuttle? Of course exotics can be morphed how you wish, but seeing a big ol chunky Osprey Hauler with some gold trim, and a fancy light blue vent some of the Gucci haulers have, would be pretty sweet. Obviously ship building is what most of us want, but new exotics would be a neat Lil add in. 100% not critical or demanded, just a cool thought. What do y'all think?

He found an enterprise style freighter he likes and I’ve shown him how to do the auto respawn to grind for a higher rank of that exact freighter. However, I’m unsure if it’s possible to get an S class in the first battle or whether he has to settle for an A class.

This weekend's quicksilver event is near impossible [Discussion]

You have to tame animals on a planet named Cayme Tau. 37 of them. The problem? There's only 1 fucking creature on this planet that gives a "feed" prompt, and I've only seen it ONCE after two attempts at this mission, playing for about 45 minutes each time. You can't feed any of the flying fuckers. You can't feed the eyestalk assholes that pop out of the ground. You can't feed the little groundhog fuckers that pop out of the ground either. It was just this one little bouncing jellybean thing that I could feed, and I can't find any more of these bitches, just that one on the entire planet.

Honestly, these quicksilver missions fucking blow. I've had multiple experiences like this where it was actually impossible due to some glitch, or just really, really tedious to the point of being absurd. I swear this game goes out of its way to be annoying.

Noob questions about ship buying. [Question]

So I’m not very long into the game yet and still learning how stuff works. Saw an Explorer ship I liked owned by an alien on the space station. It was worse than my current Shuttle, but looked nice and it was a cheap ~500k to buy outright so I went ahead and grabbed it. I have since put in some google research into what the ship types and class tiers and what not mean, as well as finding out a system has a set rotation of ship appearances that will rotate thru, but they can/will have different stats each time they show up. Given that ship was so cheap, I’m guessing it’s pretty low tier. So questions;

A.) If I wanted to get a better version of it will that model still be in rotation or have I removed it from appearing by purchasing it?

2.) Assuming it’s removed, can i Scrap it or Trade it to an alien to put it back into rotation?

The ship in question.

Quicksilver Farm with Stellar Ice [HUGE Breakthrough] [Information]

Hi guys!

You all probably know about the system which spawns Stellar Ice on 6 seconds and the guide here on reddit.

Couldn't find a way to comment it so making a new thread.

The Stellar Ice drops are not random! They are fixed! You can get Quicksilver on every spawn! The drop is fixed to a position in space in which the Ice spawns. So warp till you get the drop and remember, very important!!! The exact location in space to which you warped to get the drop. If you manage to nail it you'll get Quicksilver on every spawn! Tested it, got 10/10 consequent drops.

Please can someone verify its not only me?

Stuck on planet [Question]

I’ll start by saying That in general I often find the quest marker system and progression instructions a little confusing and sometimes stumble into stuff.

So I’m playing through The First Traveller quest and it leads me to my first portal. I pull up the portal and charge all the glyphs with elements but really have no idea what I’m doing. I don’t actually enter any glyphs but it looks like the game wants me to go through so I do. Then the game wants me to locate one of those Holo things and speak to -null- which I do. Then it instructs me to find an observatory which I do andI forget the exact messaging but it’s maybe giving me the impression this is how Polo and Nada met??

Any way now it wants me to locate a crashed freighter but it’s on a different planet and I’m stuck. I can’t summon my ship, I can’t open the construction menu. I need to get off this planet to continue but I’m completely stranded.

no man's sky, damageless permadeath run [Discussion]

On the 19th of September of this year, I got a brain random moment which reminded me of a past post where the user called permadeath "instadeath" and I jokingly commented about the idea of a true damageless gamemode. (comment/post here)

And so, I now present to you, inspired by a post by u/JuniorDank and a run done half to spite u/clonelius , my no man's sky journey of damageless.

(This post will only be covering the general strategies and stuff used, for a look at all 23 runs in vauge detail there's a comment to a spreadsheet below)

No man's sky damageless obviously isn't an easy task and I don't recommend it, doing it in a less painful way requires good spawns and there will be many times a spawn is just not plausible or worth the time.

Small note: HAZARDOUS FLORA CAN AND WILL KILL YOU ANYWHERE I HAD TO BE SO SAFE 100% OF THE TIME OH GOD

To start, the best strategy is always to go into camera mode asap to look around for caves and sodium plants, and use those to survive the immediate early game. You can then get colbolt from caves, ferrite dust to create ion batteries and then just run to your ship (you should have enough life support). If you don't feel as confident here, make the scanner and find oxygen. Make a refiner and you can get 40 Di hydrogen, make dihydro gel and refine it for +10 dihydro. Repeat for ∞ life support gel.

Once in your ship, make sure to be safe on your hermatic seal journey (watch out for the storm) and then you're past early game.

From here, my journey consisted of getting a base, grinding a bunch of salvaged data and doing boring stuff to get money. I got a good luck day it seems (a foolish...

Can someone point me to the guide on best layout. Looking for the 6 x-class hazard setup. Also what percentage does it cap at? How do I see that on Xbox? [Question]

Basically farmed derelict freighters for 2 days. I have a ton of c upgrades and ready to farm my 6 illegal hazard protections, 6 movements and shields i have a bunch of s class too.

When I started I saw a discussion about a min/max. the set up is 3xclass in general, 3 in tech,1 s-class of each in a square. same for movement. I can't find that... I also see the c-class you can craft gives 21%. I have searched here but can't find the link to the post I saw discussing this. I read the wiki it caps at 32% so is that for the 3 in general and 3 in tech or is it seperate. Obviously 10% in all 4 on each x-class would be best. But I just opened 15 suspicious hazards and none were 10% in all 4.

I know how the game works with opening c-class to get the x-class to have the numbers you want. I just don't know what I'm looking for percentage wise. And the actual layout. Pictures help. Reading like you're doing now just doesn't always click.

I am about to buy the game and im looking for a group of 2-3 people 14+ to play with and explore!

we would have a detailed system of when everyone or most should be on on what time of week and when we can actually warp from star system to star system, we would also follow a set of rules we set!

so please if you want this experience or feel interested upvote or comment

How do Bases work? [Question]

I wanna make a colony on a planet and was wondering how that would work. I wanna have my friends be able to edit and we can make something huge. Do player bases persist on logging out?

How do I get off this godforsaken planet? [Question]

I screwed up. I thought it'd be SO AWESOME to go the second galaxy and build myself a nice home there.

Except now I'm stranded on a toxic af planet without any of my tools. Oh and I don't have any ferrite dust and no way of getting any, meaning I can't repair my scanner, meaning I won't find my ship.

What am I gonna do now?

But can it just not crash? [Discussion]

This game is incredible. It’s so vast, and there’s so much to do. I’m 82 hours in and still in love.

But you know what I don’t get? Why the game crashes on my Xbox Series S… 5 times in the 6 hours I played it today. Obviously all at different points and areas of the game.

It seems the crashes usually happen when interacting with/going through a portal, or getting in/out of a game.

I actually don’t think I’ve ever experienced any game crashing before. But No Man’s Sky consistently crashes. What gives?

It’s definitely been worse since the Settlement update though.

How does farming work? [Question]

I keep seeing some awesome farms boasting millions of credits a day, but I don't know how to efficiently make one. I tried, and it ended up only making around 400,000 a day. Not bad, but not what I've been seeing on here.

My take on trade routes… [Discussion]

For those who don’t know, two basic trade routes exist in the game.

Mercantile>Advanced Materials>Scientific

Power Gen>Mining>Manufacturing>High Tech

Many people advise the typical strategy.

Find 3 star economy systems for each of them.

Build a base computer and a teleporter at a trade outpost in each of these systems.

Travel the route, buying and selling at each outpost.

I personally have found my own method just as profitable as this, and maybe quicker because it requires less flight time.

Just build the mf trade terminal in your Capital ship

Add a storage unit to your freighter and name it “Trade Goods”. This will take 60 stacks of each product the economy produces allowing for the largest profit.

Go to the helm of your freighter, find a sufficient 3 star economy that demands the goods you have, warp there.

Run back to the trade terminal you built within the ship, flip the goods, repeat.

This is convenient, because your ship terminal will always change to match the economy of the system it currently resides in.

Anybody else do it this way? Thoughts?

How the heck do you make money in this game? [Discussion]

Has anyone deleted a base and it starts materializing back? [Question]

I wanted to reset my main base and build again so I deleted it and claimed a new base in the same spot. About 15 minutes into building the new base, all of the old parts and structures started coming back, overlapping my new structures. The catch is though, there isn’t a base computer and I can’t edit any of the old parts. Has this happened to anyone else or should I just find another spot for the new base?

Base vanished [Bug]

Hey, so I built a full base, and warped a few systems away to do that whole, chase down the black hole quest. But when I returned to the system it seems my base has committed die. I can't telaport to it and it's not marked so there's no way to fly to it.

can I abandon my current freighter [Question]

I was unaware that the first free ship is the only free ship you can get, is there any way to get rid of my current one. I got it not knowing I can’t upgrade later. or is there some way to get the free freighters for freighter battles again? I’m too poor to buy the freighters I want, I also don’t want to start a new save

Csn you get the achievement To Live Forever without besting the Maine story? ( asking because I softlocked ) [Question]

During the quest ghost in the machine, I used my ships guns to break the facility door down instead of s bolt caster. Becsuse of this the game soft locked on needing to open the door. I left the system thinking it'd reset or I could reset it myself... it did not work. Now my perma death save I've spent over s day on is soft locked as I csn no longer progress, and I doubt I csn get help fixing this even from hello games due to some of the... I'll just say I have no confidence in bug fixing fixing and whatnot after the ammount of old bugs I've seen unrepaired.

If anyone csn bring me to the center of euclid or knows if its possible to get the achievement without doing the main story quest, please tell me!

Suggestion: Always show avatar in photo mode [Suggestion]

Currently your avatar only shows up in photo mode if you use third-person view (which I personally don't like). So every time I take a photo with "me" in it, I have to first switch to third-person view.

It would be nice if it was either an option, or just enabled, that photo mode always shows your avatar.

Thank You Kind Traveller [Discussion]

I just started the game in VR and don’t really know what I’m doing. I made it to the hub and went afk next to my jalopy-ship. When I came back I had a message on my screen that said something like “You received AI Valves from Mangle 87.” I looked in my inventory and saw that it vendors for 50 mil, which is about 100x more than I had at the time.

I managed to track this person down in the hub but could not figure out any of the social features at all. I wanted so badly to say thanks but as it happens I’m a potato.

Anyway, I’m hoping the kind of person just giving away that much totally randomly is active on this sub and sees my heartfelt gratitude. I bought a new ship and named it Mangle 87.

If you know this player please let them know a stranger on the internet loves them.

Freighter battle not starting? [Question]

I have been slacking and building and not warping anywhere. I’ve been doing the missions in the anomaly for a few days but never left my system any other way.

I wanted to try and get a freighter but I wrap and it shows multiple groups of freighters I can land on and buy every system I go to but never the battle to get it for free?

I’ve tried the loading manual save thing and I warp 10 times and some times it’s one freighter and sometimes it’s mutiple groups of different groups?

Did I do something wrong? Or do I just have to buy one? I do have enough money for a small one but I would want one for free.

Weekend Event Issues? [Question]

So the system that I was sent to for the weekend event seems to not have any normal creatures wandering around the surface of the planets to tame. Everything flies, swims, or crawls around underground. Seems pretty lame...

Anyone have this issue and/or a solution?

2 Derelict Freighters, random Tech Upgrades? [Question]

So I ran 2 Derelict Freighters, and one system gave a C-Class Fleet Mining and the other an A-Class of the same thing. I'm trying to get Hyperdrive Upgrades for my freighter, am I doing it wrong, or is it just randomized?

Having issues running No Man’s Sky [Bug]

I have an RTX 2070. I play on and off, so it’s been awhile since I’ve spun up the game.

Anyway, upon trying to load my file today, the performance became really poor. Unplayable. I started pouring through the menu, as I’m not having issues with any other games, trying to figure out what was going. I noticed that it’s running using my onboard, and not my 2070. When I try to hit the arrows to select my 2070, it isn’t there. Has anyone ever ran into this?

Portal [Question]

Does the address for a planet change after using it once? I used a portal to warp to another players base for resources, but upon typing the address in again a couple weeks later it sent me to a completely different system with no bases in sight, is this a bug or can you not use a portal to go to the same place twice?

I need help [Discussion]

I’ve put 20 hours into this game and idk what I’m doing.

What’s the point of the game? (not trolling). Do I focus on the main mission? Do I just grind it to the centre of the universe?

What do I do with my inventory? Do I make chest like in minecraft and hoard it all? I have about 50 mill dollars. I don’t care for money.

How do I know if I’m in a “good” solar system.
