Quick galactic center hopping/finding an unvisited system usually within 500 LY of the center [Information]

I know there's a universal portal code people have seen/use (12 sunsets), but through gameplay and a habit of taking photos I've come to learn that using any 4 glyphs followed by (Atlas) (Dragonfly) (Atlas) (Atlas) (Tree) (Atlas) (Atlas) (Atlas) will usually take you to a "first contact" (not always, however) system within 500 LY of the final jump to the core. I offer this up for those looking to find some random, unvisited system near the center or those galaxy collecting like myself who might not have the upgrades or freighter to make 5000 LY jumps in one go to reach the final jump.

Hope this info is helpful to someone.

Need help with Starbirth quest on the Soul Chamber step. [Question]

I can't seem to get my soul chamber to charge, every time I go to a travellers grave it just gives me their old technology (nanites) and sends me to find the next one with the same result? Can anyone tell me how to fix it or what I have to do to charge the soul chamber?

Question: How to deal with False Reports? [Question]

Hi I just wanted to know if there’s a way to get your galaxy back after someone creates a false report, claiming that the name of the galaxy is offensive? For context, I personally don’t play the game my dad does, so I don’t exactly know how the game itself works, I am just trying to help him. My dad told me he named his galaxy ā€œGenesis 1ā€ and it got reported as offensive, which led to it being removed. Is there a way to restore the galaxy, or at least report the false claim? Thanks in advance for any help and advice.

Update: I got more information, he can still access his galaxy if he puts the galaxy on private. I’m still curious about how the reporting works on this game.

Portal taxi? [Question]

I’m pretty new to the game and I found the glyphs for a ship I really like but I don’t have them unlocked yet. Would someone with the glyphs unlocked be willing to take me to this galaxy?

Living ship! [Question]

Hello, quick question as it looks as if this Misson is not. How long in days does it take to hatch the living ship? I am on day 3 as of today as far as I can tell I have made or developing a shell now.

Stuck at the start? [Question]

Just bought the game and started playing. I got the data from the distress beacon that tells me where to go to get the hermetic seal, but on my world there’s a gargantuan impassable wall of rock blocking the way and my ship is in a big crater on a really hot planet with no oxygen. Can’t get to it. Any tips on how I would? Should I just restart on another world?

NMS VR ... it got worse on the Link cable vs. Airplay?! [Question]

I just got my headset a week or so ago. NMS VR was one of the games i was excited to try the most. Had to rely on Airplay while I waited for a link cable, and it did a decent job. If it got really busy (like raining or whatever that purple smoke thing that follows you everywhere on this dang Expedition planet), I could see it pixelate but it was playable.

Today, I get my cable. Plug it in, test it on smaller things both Oculus Rift titles and SteamVR, everything's looking great. Things that were having minor hiccups before, all gone now. Fire up NMS and total bummer. it's now jumpy, lags out, stutters both audio and video all the time. OK sometimes on foot but if i'm in my Minotaur, it's just awful.

I reset all my settings back to Low/Standard just in case (I have a 1660Super but only a 7th gen CPU - does fine on flat monitor), but no help. Anybody have any ideas why it would be worse when it has 2.3Gbps of bandwidth to use (according to the oculus speed test) on the cable vs. 100Mbps Airplay? Or should I just give up on this one and play it normal flat-2D?

What is this song? (From Expedition 3) [Question]

I recently just got back into the game, and tried out Expedition mode.

As I got close to finishing it, I warped into the next system, finishing the 'Interstellar' part of the gamemode and this song began to play.

https://youtu.be/L0UhCQkbTds?t=60 (this is not my video)

I've tried searching through the official soundtrack on youtube, and on several other users' channels, but can't seem to find it.

Thanks to anybody willing to help!

Is there any way to get in flight instruments like on an actual aircraft? [Question]

I'm talking about things like an altimeter or the instrument that shows your craft's orientation (right side up/upside down, can't remember the name), do these exist in game at all? I always struggle to tell how close to the ground I am in first person during a storm, and I don't want to feel like I have to go into third person just for that. If this is something worthless lemme know and I'll delete this, thank you for your time

Fresh to the galactic center; normal to have galaxies marked as already visited? [Question]

When I landed in Ickjamatew, I decided to explore the edge of the galaxy vs. immediately heading into the galactic center. After reaching the galactic edge (which was a little of a letdown), I subsequently used a portal to jump straight from my starting system (~715,000 LY from center) to 3 LY.

Despite never having been there before, there's at least a half dozen systems already marked as visited--they have little circles around the star, and when I hover over the star it shows the name followed by "(Visited)".

Bug on the part of NMS? Or am I having some sort of amnesia?

Did I win the perma death lottery for my starting system? [Discussion]

Heya! So I was reading some posts about perma death and decided to bite. I was really excited to hear the stories about how challenging the opening was.

So, I spawn in and there is a toxic storm incoming. There's also a giant cave system 10 feet away.

While exploring said cave during the storm, I am overwhelmed with an abundance of hazardous flora that fills me up with sodium and oxygen (I legit did not need to scan for a sodium or oxygen deposit the entire time I was on this planet).

Repair my ship and take off, realize I'm in a 3 star economy vykeen system (I love vykeen).

In space, the space station isn't marked (I'm assuming that comes later in the quest) but it certainly is HOT PINK so it stands out against the backdrop of the system. I go there, and wadda ya know, an S Class multi tool is sitting there... and then a squid exotic flies in (I don't have the units to really get it... yet, but I now know it's here)

Oh and then the next planet it wants me to go to is an abandoned planet with 0 storms, 0 sentinels to build my base on.

Just curious with this because it feels too good to be true. Is perma death randomized and I got super lucky, or is this a fairly normal happening for pd?

Fragile heart duplication bug [Bug]

Spoiler warning

I accidentally discovered a method for duplicating the fragile heart from the living ship questline.

While refining some stuff, I was testing which things potentially could also be refined. And as I am in the middle of the living ship quest, out of curiosity I tried the different items from that quest. As expected, they don't refine into anything, but by taking it back out of the refinery slot into my inventory, I suddenly received an additional fragile heart. Trying it again rewarded me a third.

It didn't work with the other items as far as I could test them.

Also no idea if this could be useful somehow except for potentially selling them.

I love that exploring is now a valid way to get nanites [Discussion]

The increased pay for discovering all fauna on a planet is something that pulled me back into the game recently. I'm the kind of guy who explores and scans as much as he can on every planet of every system I come across (except for the systems I join from the Nexus) because I like it, and with 3 S class scanner upgrades, it's always been my main way of making money in this game. And now, it's also a legit way to get a ton of Nanites when getting all the fauna.

Thank you Hello Games.

I have two side notes regarding fauna though. First, I'm not exactly sure when they added that, but I never really noticed that some creatures were only found in north or south of a planet. It's a nice touch I think. Second there are still creatures that are definitely not spawning as the discovery page says. I have a planet on my home system that just won't spawn the last fauna... which would give me 2 250 nanites.

Does the story line introduce every feature of the game to you? [Question]

I started playing 2 weeks ago and had already reached space anomaly.

But I did not know until today that planetary shops and trade posts exist on planet surfaces. EVERY planet in the first 3 star systems had 10 minutes long storms taking place every 3 minutes, except the last one in the third system that I visited yesterday.

Today, I learnt a blueprint for small storage containers from my base computer. I crafted one as the game directed me to. But then I couldn’t access it. The game didn’t tell me how to get it working.

A lot of posts on this sub say that I can ignore the story line and explore freely once I reach the space anomaly. But how can I figure out every feature of the game and how it works?

Do I need to search online while playing or does playing through the story line teach me everything?

Hello Games: Please let me deactivate the feature that changes the base parts by itself. It's not fun when the game decides for me wich part I get to build. It's also ruining the aesthetic of all my bases. Pleeeeeaaasssseee [Suggestion]

What the title says. I'm sure some people may like this new feature but I don't. I wish I had the option to at least DEACTIVATE it.

We have got so many awesome new building parts in the last update and I'm very grateful for all of this. But this new feature is ruining all my builds and it's making it impossible for me to continue being creative. All the things I want to build get ruined becasue the game decides by itself wich window, etc. I get to use. My main reason for playing this game has always been building things I like and having the possibility of visiting them later, run around, and create more things... I had so many cool ideas to build and all of them get ruined by this feature. Honestly i hate it.

Base building snapping not working? [Question]

New to the game and I'm really enjoying it apart from the base building.

I've laid down a base computer, claimed the base and started building. The first floor and a few walls snapped together fine but doors, roofs and other floor panels won't snap. I have all the required materials to build and nothing is causing collision preventing the building.

Is this a bug or am I missing something?

Dumb question: How to change default tool on the multi-tool? [Question]

I have several hundred hours in and have been dealing with a silly issue and can't seem to find a solution (if one exists).

It use to be when I load up the game the mining beam was selected as the default for the multi-tool but now the terrain manipulator is the default. I don't know why or how it changed but I hate it.

Ho do I change it back to the mining beam or better yet the boltcaster?

Upgrade from PS4 to PS5 version [Question]

Hey all,

I’m considering buying No Man’s Sky, but I do have a question - I hope one of you can help me!

I have a PS5. On the PS Store, No Man’s Sky currently is priced at €49,99.

However, when I look online at my local retailers, I can get it for €22,-, which is a big difference. This is the PS4 version, though.

I found some articles on Google, stating that owners of the PS4 version can upgrade for free to the PS5 version.

So my question is: If I buy the PS4 version, can I still upgrade for free to the PS5 version? I can’t find a clear answer for this online, so I hope one of you can help me šŸ™‚. Thanks!

Instead of a big content update, HG really should do a giant bug fix and quality of life update. [Suggestion]

I appreciate how much HG has put into NMS, not that unpopular of an opinion. Though, one thing that still REALLY irks me with NMS is the bugs, and I wish they gotten fixed sooner. Not really much else to say here, but I'll suggest some big bug fixes and QOL features to be implemented.

Planetary Zoology: This feature could be fun, if finding an underground creature is metaphorically impossible, and if finding a third underwater creature is LITERALLY impossible. No kidding, there's a bug that prevents the third, fourth and so on underwater fauna from being spawned. Wouldn't hurt to tweak underground spawning to be less of waiting around twiddling your thumbs too.

Exosuit mute: I beg of you, very specific situation, but when building an underwater base on an extreme cold planet, the exosuit NEVER shut up. It made me incredibly annoyed and stressed due to the sheer amount of times it said the same message over and over "Extreme temperature detected" "Extreme water temperature detected" "Thermal protection falling" "Extreme temperature detected" "Extreme cold damage detected" It fucks with me a lot.

A big one, saving edited terrain: I don't know why HG can't do this, if its a limitation in code I completely understand, but I'm sure every interloper would love this change.

Egg sequencer: Would it kill for the display to say what color it will be instead of "unstable"? very minor change but I love the egg sequencer.

Rocket boots: THE MOST ANNOYING THING FOR ME BY FAR. When im trying to climb up something but the rocket boots just keep jumping up instead of satisfyingly rising up. Why can't they make it so rocket boots and only be initiated by ONLY double tapping? whenever you land and you're holding space, it makes you jump anyway!

Those are just some features I'd like to tweak, there are many minor...

Acts Of Kindness [Discussion]

Anyone else that has loads of money and material like to go up the Space Anomaly and pass on valuable items to randoms?

This happened to me when I first started the game, a guy gave me 3 items worth 50 million a piece. Now whenever I get something worth 1 million or more I head to Space Anomaly, and wave until someone approaches me. Then I give them the item and head off on my way.

Just wondering if anyone else tries to pass on the fortune to other players as well, or if I'm just a weirdo lol

My base is broken? [Bug]

So I have 14 of the plant buildings, all of which stopped growing, until I pull the plants up, then replant them. My copper mine, rated at 2k/hr stopped producing, now only produces 1500 copper then stops filling up the storage, even though I rebuilt the mineral extractors, maybe I need to redo the storage as well? I have no idea what is causing this, but it makes me sad as it was running perfectly and I spent a lot of time building it out to be nice.

Has anyone run into this and know of a fix? The only 3 things I can think of is I have been unlocking other galaxies (up to 28 now), I added a NTP client to my computer to keep the time synched, as it was off a bit and caused some issues elsewhere, or the game just plain freaked out... no clue. I am leaning towards the time thing, but no idea why that would cause such an issue.

Question - Couldn't Find a Megathread for it :) [Question]

So I am a returning player after about 2 years or more. I played quite a bit but a lot has changed, materials have changed, and more.

Because I went through tutorials back then, things seem a bit chaotic in terms of guidance for new features. I don't want to start a new game because of ships I have collected, my S freighter, and a hefty amount of currency that I do not want to re-farm (did weeks/months of living glass farming back in the day).

I am just looking for a good guide for returning players for things that are locked behind quests. Random encounters I am fine with, adds to the fun.

Looking for a place to call home! Help me out! [Question]

Ok, I know this sounds (and is) picky… but I am looking for a certain planet. Here are the specs:

Preferred: Essentiam Galaxy - will go to others though Bioluminescent Green grass Lots of trees Turquoise/crystal blue water Blue skies Lots of fauna Moderate to no sentinel activity

Bonus: Lots of trees and plant life Bioluminescent trees and plant life Very little to no sentinel activity

Not preferred: Moderate to High aggressive sentinel activity Orange/yellow/red skies or water Any other color of grass

Although very pretty, I just can’t stand spending time at my base looking at red, yellow, purple, blue grass. Don’t get me wrong it’s beautiful. I just prefer bioluminescent green.

To note: I have been searching for hours upon days. Exhausting resources, portal hopping. You name it. Game hates me. If anybody has anything close to my preferred, drop the port glyphs! Currently portal hopping so I’m already at a portal and have portals in both essentiam and Euclid.

Tia! Your all the best!

Two quick questions: [Question]

Hi, I'm a bit annoyed at having my economy already crashed every time I go to collect units at my mining operations.

As far as I know there is no way to undo a Base Upload, so, I read a few months back that removing the teleporter from the base would work, it does not.

So other than losing all the hours put into the bases by Deleting them and moving to a different planet:

Is there a way to remove my bases from the list that makes them public after clicking Upload Base?

Does uploading discoveries have to do with any of this?

If I scan things and upload them am I also uploading to server the location data of the planet?

Thanks so much for any help.

A Rant About Nexus Missions [Discussion]

This is ridiculous. I wish I could enjoy the Nexus missions, I really do. However, that's impossible when the weekend mission is to feed 40 creatures on a planet where most creatures are burrowing types I can't catch up to. Who thought of this? Seriously? I've been on this planet for 30 minutes and have fed one. ONE. This is such a grind with little reward and it sucks any bit of joy out of the labor. You know what'd be a great mission? Feed 10, on a planet with a bunch of little cows. Or feed 5 DIFFERENT types of fauna, THAT would be fun, like a scavenger hunt.

And it's not limited to just this weekend mission, this applies to all Nexus missions.

Rescue a stranded life form? Sure, that would be fun, except it turns into spending two hours digging up dud after dud after dud after dud after dud. Cap that at 10. If you have to dig up more than 10 data it should automatically give you an uncorrupted one.

Build a base? Okay. Build the base with these obscure parts that don't really fit all that great together? Why? Just make the mission include 40 parts of whatever choice and let it be done.

Dig up bones? Ooh, exciting! Oh you want 30 bones.

And why do the weekend missions always have to be on a highly resource intensive planet for all players to congregate on? Like I get it Sean, the game's come leaps and bounds since 2016, but my console hasn't. Stop sending me to extreme planets with super dense foliage where hundreds of players have dropped a base. Cool, we have multiplayer now, but there's too many people, bases, and messages on this planet and I'd rather do this mission in my own system because my console is screaming at me and I KNOW for a fact a crash is imminent.

Why do the Weekend Mission in the first place if it's such a frustrating grind with no reward that will inevitably crash my game and force me to restart? This isn't fun at all. This feels completely...

A New Reason to Go to the Center of the Galaxy [Discussion]

This is not a new idea. I first saw it in the game, Star Control. The galaxy was under threat. In that game, there was a wave of supernovas sweeping across the galaxy. Star systems were decimated by their stars exploding, which would eventually wipe out the entire galaxy.

In No Man's Sky, if a similar threat were introduced to the game, it would give us a reason to leave the galaxy by going to the center. It could be any galaxy-wide threat, not just a supernova wave. But it could take weeks or months to reach every star. So players would have time to collect their things and head to the center of the galaxy. Some might wait for the threat to arrive, and face annihilation, if only to see what it was like.

One other great thing this could allow is a reset of the universe (after all of the galaxies have eventually fallen to this new threat), that would allow Hello Games to update it's proc gen system for new star systems completely. To soften the blow, it might be that player bases can be saved and dismantled automatically and rebuilt intact anywhere in the universe.

It would also allow for entirely new star systems, like post-supernova stars with dense nebulae and charred worlds, ruined outposts and settlements, and more derelict freighters that might hold lost treasures.

Base building - how to stay in remote camera view? (console) [Question]

When base-building I like to use the building camera, as that gives a much better overview and also I can stay undercover while building in a storm.

But, on console at least, it seems every time I switch back to the part-selection menu to select a different part it also exits out of the building camera.

Is there any way to stay in the building camera mode when selecting new parts to build?

I went through a black hole and something messy happened [Question]

Been playing a few weeks, and I could probably look this up but I'm lazy. This happened earlier today, so the details might not be right.

I guess I was following the main story, and I went through a black hole and somehow ended up "resetting the simulation". I didn't mean to, but I pushed a red button among 4 posts with different colored buttons on them in this room I ended up in. I was then warped to a hot planet and all of my exosuit equipment was broken and my ship was nowhere to be found. After running around for a few minutes trying to find my ship or cover I died. Ended up losing about 2 hours of playtime.

So WTF was that all about?

Weekend mission disappointment [Bug]

Hello Games please for all that is Grah fix the crashing issue.

Now as I gaze on the Nexis it's not in fun of what to do next but disappointment in that taking a mission from it is a waste of time.

There is no flair for disappointment and sadness so I guess bug will have to do. Please please please fix it

I've recently finished a successful permadeath run (what a journey!) as it was the last "thing" in the game I could find to do.

So now that after years of relaxed playing I finally feel like i've "done it all". I'm wondering how much more milage there possibly is.

Do we know if expeditions will continue to roll on? or possibly repeat? etc

Build Objects Don't Snap Together Anymore [Question]

Hello everyone,

After completing the building tutorial with no problems I have spent quite a few hours enjoying the game and have decided to try and build another base. Unfortunately, I am unable to snap any of the building objects together anymore, as I was in the first building tutorial mission where you create your first base.

I realized this on the first planet I tried to make another base at and figured maybe there was something wrong with the building area, and went to another planet with the same results. I then went back to the first planet where my old base was, edited a wall, tried placing it back where it was without success. I even deleted the wall and tried to snap another one in place like all the rest of the pieces there. Nothing I've done puts the wall back into place and the best I can do is crudely position it on top of the floor piece leaving open spaces or protruding edges.

Anyone have any idea what's going on here? I am kind of bummed because of how much time I put into what appears to be a broken game.

Thanks!

New to this game and have some questions. [Question]

I have some beginner Questions, my English isn't the best so I hope I can explain what I mean. So when building stuff like Carbon Nanotubes there stands that it costs 50 carbon however after building the first one I have to press e (i guess) to build another without the cost standing anywhere is there a way to see the cost after the very first one or does the game want me to know. (I have a hard time explaining this one if it's unclear I apologize) Is the base building just clunky? I am still in the tutorial and I had to build a small base, building the walls and roof felt really weird is this always so do I get used to it, or did I do it wrong? building a teleporter was just as hard for me, it kinda seemed bugged that I had to be far away to place it is this always the case? When placing stuff in the Exosuit there is the remaining capacity how does this work? (I feel really stupid about this one) And for my last Question without taking away later ways of doing this pls, about fueling I had to build the teleporter and fuel it with the Biofuel Reactor I placed like 100x carbon which was all I had and it only fueled for like 10 sec and turned off, is this normal?

I know that some of them are stupid and I probably just need some more time in the game to figure those out but I would appreciate it so much if anyone could help me out.

and pls don't give away too much about stuff or ways to do things later on in the game since I want to go in as blind as possible

Bugged discoveries list [Bug]

Hey all. I've been playing NMS for the past year and I love this game. I found a bug and tried to find some information about the discoveries tab. But everything is either outdated and not relevant. I'm on Ps4 Pro I recently did this weekend's quicksilver event on my main save. I noticed a huge problem on my permadeath save. The red planet in that system has Paraffinium and aggressive sentinels. Not a problem except that in the discoveries tab it's says it's an acrid planet with Ammonia. I'm like wth? Also it shows me that a different player discovered it. What I'm wondering is if anyone else has noticed this, is this common or is it rare am I crazy? Also has anyone else in that same system experienced missing Fauna on the other planets? Thank you for reading.

TLDR Bugged discoveries tab showing wrong or outdated information.

Edit: I just reloaded my normal save and it displayed accurate information about the planet except the part about aggressive sentinels. When I loaded my permadeath save the information in the discoveries tab was not accurate. So is Hello Games not keeping up with Permadeath mode then with their updates?

Cannot warp to galactic core [Question]

Thought i would get the 'survival mode - galactic core' steam achievement.

Been sneaky and warped to someone's base close to the core via the anomaly portal. Problem is i am at the 'warp to galactic core' as in held down so the circle fills and the option is there to warp. But it does not do anything!

I'm wondering if the ship needs all the warp drive modules (i'm literally using the starter ship)? But it does not say 'you need an emril drive' etc... it simply just does not do anything.

Has anyone else hit the center really early in the game like this? perhaps its not the drive and i need to do loads of the story? i'v literally got to the point of visiting the anomaly and nothing else.

Stuck on 'Base Computer Archives --> Visit Remote Archive Terminal' [Question]

Hi All,

I wonder if someone can help. I have the 'Base Computer Archives --> Visit Remote Archive Terminal' mission and I have flown to the system that the Galactic Map highlighted but then what am I meant to do? There aren't any markers in that system to tell me where to go next.

I selected the mission in the log and then set the destination in the Galaxy Map to be Current Mission and the map showed the following:

I have tried visiting both planets in the system. I have tried ativating signal boosters on both planets. I have even tried building a base on one of the planets to see if placing a base computer would help.

Any thoughts? Am I in the right system? What do I need to do next? All help gratefully received as I really want to progress my base.

The Game has become unplayable for me on PS4, any help? [Question]

I just recently came back to this Game, last played in 2019. I've been playing the last days for several hours a session and never had any issues. Today I wanted to play with a friend, so I bought PS+, which I didn't have before and that's when the problems started. The Game Crashes more and more frequently, now it's only a couple of minutes till the next Crash (error code: CE-34878-0). At this Point I stopped playing it, because being set back everytime became too annoying and I can't make progress in my game.

I read that that's a common issue on PS4 and that it helps to deactivate the multiplayer, which I did, but that didn't change anything. Also there was a video about how you should use the option "rebuild database" on your PS4 , but again didn't do anything for me...

Primary Mission Issue - It won't go away - Help Please! [Question]

To start, I have completed all the primary missions, reset and travelled to a new Galaxy, etc... I get that the quests themselves never go away, but The Atlas Path keeps resetting to the final steps. Here is where it gets annoying...

Whenever I travel to a new galaxy, and occasionally in old ones, my Galaxy Map is constantly setting itself to The Atlas Path and I have to wait through the cut scene every time I open my map. It doesn't matter what quest I have selected or if I set the map to Galactic Core, the next time I open it it has to go find a Atlas station, do the zoom around thing, then highlight the path... without me being able to interrupt it and get to what I wanted to do. I have already finished the quest twice now, by supplying the "seeds", but yet it persists and it is getting very frustrating to have to constantly wait.

Has anyone else come across this and know of a fix please?

Creative mode bad. Permadeath good. [Discussion]

I have been playing NMS pretty heavily for a few weeks now, and I decided to try and start a new game in creative mode to see what it was like. I did what can be expected of anyone put in a situation with unlimited resources, I immediately bought and crafted everything. For a moment, it was exciting. But the rush I felt from buying a 35,000,000 cr ship and fully upgrading it quickly wore off. At the end of a day, you only need what you need. The ship was big and looked cool, but it did the exact same thing as the ship I started the game in. It flies. For 200 times the cost of the original, I get to look cool. But, even if you think those things are worth it, there’s something to be said about actually earning a 35 mil ship rather than getting one for free. I know it sounds clichĆ©, and I probably come off as an old man when I say this, but it just isn't fun to have those things handed to me.

I feel satisfied when I accomplish what my mind sets out to do. Not only do I want to live my dreams, I want to fight for them. The disastrous journey is just as important as the relaxing destination.

I suggest a freighter update [Suggestion]

I don’t actually think the devs would check Reddit for ideas if they even need any, but hear me out.

We need some crew to man the freighters, they would do something random like sit in a chair or something, just to add atmosphere, and not just in that little bridge area but all around the freighter, maybe in the hangar too.

Freighter battles would be cool too, maybe just make it to where you can attack a specific fleet with yours and have all the ships move and attack independently.

More than one freighter, I know it sounds like overkill but having just one freighter makes fleets look small, maybe just one of each type of freighter, one capital ship, and a maximum of like 3-4.

It would also be neat to be able to pilot freighters or other small fleet based ships.

Hi, would love to know your thoughts on these [Discussion]

Hi all, I'm just curious about what your views are on these things: I'm always reading posts about people spending hours and sometimes days to get that S class freighter. I don't know why I feel the whole concept of saving and reloading to have the freighter battle happen again seems so silly and immersion-breaking, especially for a game like NMS that has a lot of real time things going on. Does anybody else feel the same way??

HG implemented ways to upgrade the classes of your Multi-Tools and Starships. Even your Frigates improve over time. However, they haven't, and probably chose not to do the same for Freighter classes. If they don't want you to be able to improve the class of your freighter, wouldn't it be nicer to make it an absolute one-off? Like you do the battle once, if it's not the S Class, you can't just reload your save and do the battle again. šŸ¤·ā€ļæ½ļø I feel like that would make getting that S Class freighter so much more special. Would you be up for this ? šŸ¤”

Another possibility is, instead of having Frigate classes improve over time, I think it would be awesome if they implemented a system where if you have a freighter of a particular class, then Frigates upto that class will be readily willing to join your fleet; And wanting a class higher will require you to pay up an exorbitant amount of units. Say, I have a B class freighter, then hiring an A class frigate would cost me a lot more than if I was trying to hire the same A class Frigate with an A class freighter. An S class Frigate should burn a hole in my pocket. Also, the rewards from Fleet missions should be massively different based on the class, without classes improving over time. I really think this would make things more challenging and more rewarding at the same time. šŸ˜…

Another thing I feel should be implemented is ways to really make your fleet feel like YOUR fleet. The...

Can't build a base in cuboid rooms? :s [Bug]

Hi guys!

I've discovered this game a month ago, wow such a blast!

I've invested a lot in this doing requinx tutorial and getting to billions of money, collecting cool ships from NMSCE, getting a nice paradise and finally building a big ass base.

I've created a monster 15x15x15 glass cuboid base, yes that is more than 20k glass, hours of building/farming.

And guess what :)) I can't build no shit in this huge empty glass cube!!!!!!!

I had started with hyrdoponics to farm my glass and everything was fine, but it looks like it's the only item that fits in these damn cubes.

I tried to build a level of regular floor inside but nothing is aligned cause they have different sizes.

I Stumbled upon this guy who had the same issue 3 years ago :

https://www.reddit.com/r/NoMansSkyTheGame/comments/92wktd/floor_for_cubic_building_item_invalid_position/

So i guess glass base is not a thing and it will never be fixed.

Too sad to stop this fantastic adventure here.

I hope i can come back in a month or so when i'll get over this, have fun meanwhile, cheers T.T

Can I use an Active Void Egg without the quest? [Question]

A random player on the anomaly gave me an Active Void Egg, but according to the Wiki I need the Starbirth quest to hatch it. Is there anything I can do without the quest or have I just got this dead weight in my inventory till I’m actually in a position to do the quest?

Question about scrapping ships [Question]

I’m new to the game and have just acquired a broken ship which I added to my collection in the hope of scrapping for nanites and upgrades. When I try to scrap the ship on a space station I get a message that the ship is broken and I can’t recover it. I did manage to scrap a ship previously using this method.

Do I have to repair the ship to a degree in order to get it to the space station to scrap? I didn’t mark it on the planet. Is there a way to find it again?

Cheers

How to increase inventory on both the living ship and exocraft? [Question]

Hii So I've been searching on youtube how to increase inventory. -For the living ship I found that there's a glitch where you get a new freighter and increase that inventory while having the living ship as main one. The issue with this method is that I already own a S-class freighter so I rather not swap it with a new one.

-For the exocraft I've found no helpful videos so I'm wondering if updating this is even a thing. (:

Purchased this game prelaunch. Enjoyed it, but want much to do then. Recently logged in to see what all has changed and OMG. THERE IS SO MUCH. 16 hours in and still feel lost. Where do I start? [Question]

Does anyone have maybe a good YouTube walkthrough tutorial series they can suggest?

Just a small sampling of the questions I have encountered:

How do I get plans for the better refiners?

What is the class order? Is A best, or worst? I feel like A would be best, but I thought I read something about S being really good?

How do I get a freighter?

Is there some trick to the "practice language" correct answer? Sometimes I'm rewarded, sometimes I'm shamefully disgraced.

Why can't I place a half stairway inside my base?

How do I get a science terminal so I can hire the one science dude at the stations?

Get New Freighter, Lose Inventory [Information]

I spent a couple hours reloading to get the perfect freighter. I hadn’t emptied my old freighter’s inventory because I read you can transfer it via speaking to the new captain. Nope.

New Base Parts, Same Old Part Limit [Build]

With the release of the new base parts I recreated my main base, which is built inside of a hollow plateau. I was disappointed though to discover we still have a 3000 part base limit if we want to upload it.

It was also a struggle to use the Red/Gray color scheme. You can't actually select that color scheme with the new parts. Instead you have to select an old part, choose the Red/Gray color, then choose a new part. I hope they fix that soon.

This base has an Emeril mine, Frost Crystal farm for glass, and is entirely solar powered, which is partially what caused me to bump into the part limit.

The cut scenes are killing me... [Discussion]

There are so many that just make you stare and watch and while most are fairly short... the galaxy transitions are the worst. As I am going through them I have managed to trim down how long it takes to find a Monolith, locate the portal, jump to the Galactic Centre in order to move to the next galaxy. I am now spending more time staring at the galaxy transition cut scene than I do getting there. Apparently, in order to move through all the galaxies, I will be spending approximately 13 hours simply staring at those scenes. :(

This seems a bit excessive to me, what do you think?

We should be able to hire people who can assist us as we explore the planet that our settlement is located on. It makes sense that these settlements would want to have someone go out and be a scout in order to get more info about the planet they are trying to survive on

so why not give the player the ability to recruit people from the settlements that can go with you as you explore the planet

Is this just me being sneaky ? (high sentinel activity planet) [Information]

I set myself up a little "bunker" of sorts using the terrain manipulator create mode, making a hole I could take out sentinels, quads and the walkers through - access holes too small for sentinels to get in, but big enough so I could pick them off easily :-p

I added a short range teleport to get in or out, and there's a further failsafe inside with two interconnected pits in case I took damage and needed to recharge in safety.

One thing I did notice was the terrain in my "murder hole" viewport, although relatively the same, the bunker might become inaccessible again if I exited via the murder hole and tried to come back in the same way.

After my third walker, I decided to move away, only to find my ship getting snagged on the large unscannable "poppy pod" flora, which lead to a rather unexpected and unfortunate death :-}

Recommendation for future features [Suggestion]

Space races. Like through hoops Red Bull style. Maybe as an anomaly expedition, and everyone gets put in the same ship type to make it fair.

Base Building Woes/Glitches - Arches and Stairways [Question]

Am working on an all-stone building with an outer/surrounding hallway on all sides and an inner roofed courtyard/atrium space. I used arches as my inner "walls" to surround the courtyard. Despite it being fully surrounded and roofed, when I enter the courtyard, the game thinks I am outside. Anyone else run into this? Can arches only be used externally? Should I just take the roof off and call it an outdoor space?

Same question re: stairways. I can fully enclose them -- but I get near them and the game thinks I've gone outside.

I notice the stairways and arches in my settlement are all exteriors. Am I just trying to do the impossible? Or is there something I am missing?

a question about space station traffic. [Question]

Hi fellow interlopers. I've been looking for ways to accumulate residual goop in large quantities and have found the best bet is by purchasing it from passing NPC's in the space station of a wealthy mining system.

The problem is that the traffic flow on space stations is hit and miss does the traffic flow in space stations vary by your local time of day? I had the best results on Saturday, but since have only played either late at night or early morning so that might explain the sudden drop off in traffic. Or maybe I just got lucky once?

How will me having Better Planet Generation installed affect multiplayer interactions [Question]

So I'm a new player and I started my first save in survival mode and ended up installing the Better Planet Generation mod. How will me having Better Planet Generation installed affect multiplayer interactions? Should I just have it disabled for the save file that I intent to focus more on multiplayer interactions? How does the whole mods that affect terrain generation even work on this game if I can scan and upload this mod added flora for anyone who comes across that planet to find, even though, from how I understand, only people who have the mod installed would be able to view and render those planets the way I see them because of the mod? Not to mention that the mod changes the climate of each planet from how it would generate in Vanilla (Like a radioactive planet in Vanilla turns into a hot planet with the mod enabled).

Also, regarding multiplayer, am I correct to assume that, because of how if you're in survival you can only interact with other players in survival, I should just make a normal save file for it?

No settlements at all in existing save. [Question]

Everywhere I looked, they say that to find settlements, all you need to do is start an existing save and you will get a transmission that will take you to one. I also read that I should see a quest in the log related to finding settlements.

I'm playing with a survival save that I started a few months ago and didn't get too far ahead in the story. I simply stopped playing and came back after the frontiers update, but so far, I haven't seen any signs of settlements even existing in my save.

Do I need to start a new game to see them? I was under the impression that you would start seeing them even on existing games.

Why is first floor shorter than items? [Question]

Hope the title makes sense. Basically, my large refiner and my tech stations are taller than my timber walls, so I have to place 1st floor items only underneath where I have no need to walk on the 2nd floor.

Is that a bug or just NMS being NMS? Is there a way to fix that?

Also for the love of Pete why aren’t the timber items scalable? I had to have 25 small roofs when I only wanted one big roof.

And just so I can spare you all from multiple posts, what are the green circles for in the snap mode? They don’t correlate to me actually being able to snap. By that I mean if I want to add a timber ramp or a piece of floor, it will offer me me every possible wrong position except the one I am actually trying to use for placement. It has the tiniest sweet spot of any fame I’ve ever played and sometimes I just have to give up and build differently because the game won’t accept a ramp placement from ground to second floor even with no obstructions. I also have to use full ramps because half ramps just won’t place. Am I just not good at this or is the snap system a bit borked?

How do get mods to work with Vortex? [Question]

I installed a bunch of mods through vortex and one manually. The manual one (Better planet generation) I copied into the PCBANKS/MODS folder, all the others landed in a separate folder that Vortex created named e:\vortex-mods

When I tried to set the game folder as the install folder for mods, Vortex said "The folder must be empty".

One of the Vortex installed mods is stack size increase and that clearly doesn't work, the stacks are still limited to 100 instead of the 250 in the mod.

big problem though. Now I can't materials to snap in place to save my life. i can make a 3x3 sqaure with timber floors, but the middle floor won't snap. I can Snap a Small floor or Small Triangle to a larger one, but i can't Snap two Small Floors to one another.

It's a relatively trivial problem, but it's Infuriating, i just want to install this bloody floor but some damn thingy-thing says "huhm? whas that?"

Love you, k bye.

After a week of searching, I finally found one of the game's worst planets [Discussion]

This took a week of searching in Calypso, visiting nearly 100 star systems in all before I found it.

https://preview.redd.it/tfxxd4kuu9t71.jpg?width=1920&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=28c9d369a7f66a061459f3a8d9e6ed3b092d4482

This planet has just about everything wrong with it: Extreme hazards (which implies extreme storms, and activated elements) Aggressive sentinels An infestation No water In a star system with a T1 economy and level 3 conflict

The only thing it's really missing is extreme terrain. And possibly a visual glitch. But, overall, I am pleased with it.

There is literally no reason to come to this planet except to leave and never return. Maybe just to look around and say, "Yup. This place sucks". Because it does.

I am thinking of building a home here.

It is kinda beautiful in its own right, though. The zebra striping on the infested elements is a nice touch that I don't see often, so I suppose things could be just a smidgen more terrible on that front, too. But finding a worse planet would be a challenge.

Better lights! [Suggestion]

Does anyone else have trouble with light or is it just me? Ive noticed just how dark every base I have is or even others bases. I live on a primarily dark planet and light is important. The amount of light sources that need to be placed is concerning. I can’t be the only one who wants lights to be brighter and provide more coverage right? …right?…

No Void Egg at Quicksilver Merchant? [Question]

I've seen a few posts on it but none of them have been able to help me.

I'm at the Taco System at the edge of the damn galaxy. I've got 60+ hours, a massive fleet, most of the missions completely done and I have yet to find a void egg at the Quicksilver Merchant.

I'm in Online mode, always connected to the discovery services, and I'm on PS4. There's no VPN and it's connected to the PS4 via ethernet cable. I've deleted and reinstalled the game and nada.

My question is what the hell. The only things I haven't done so far are go to the center of the galaxy (as far as I can tell it would do a whole reset and I really don't wanna give up everything I just built at the moment, wanna explore some more first) and I haven't gone through a black hole that Polo gave the co-ordinates too.

Any ideas?

Update Idea [Discussion]

I know many people both want and don’t want a combat update. I get both sides, but also have an idea for a compromise. I say we make it to where when you disable player damage, you cannot deal player damage. However, if player damage is enabled, combat encounters are more common. Nothing that completely changes the systems, but also something that provides a compromise for both the pro and anti combat update players.

Eissentam Issue (kind of) [Question]

Ok, so I’ve finally made it to Eissentam, but I swear I am having the worst luck trying to find a good planet to set up shop on. I’ve gone through 6 black holes, and have warped to multiple stars after each one and been all around the galaxy, but I still can’t find any planets with much life. Everything is finding is bleak, windswept, and generally rocky planets with not much on them. Have I missed something? I read all over the internet that Eissentam was the place to be if you were looking for beautiful planets. What am I doing wrong?

New player starting the multitool hunt with questions [Question]

Hello everyone,

I remember this game having abysmal reviews way back when, and left it in the back of my mind for a few years, and decided to give it a shot just about a month ago after the Frontiers update launched. Kudos to Youtube randomly recommending me a series from SurvivalBob who started a fresh playthrough for it then which showed me how the basic/core gameplay looked when not at endgame and saw that it seemed interesting enough for me.

Since then I've made pretty good progress and enjoyed all the exploration and chill nature of the game, with advice from the various guides/videos I've found.

The problem now is that I think I'm at the point where I'm outgrowing my current multitool (I got a random S rank rifle with a moderate number of slots from somewhere in my starter system in the first week.)

I've read a bunch of guides on the topic, but some of the information seems to be outdated and I'm not entirely sure how much is still accurate in the current Frontiers update, which is what I wanted to ask about. I know I could grab some coordinates, but being that it's an exploration game, I wanted to keep that option as a last resort when I got desperate.

That said, from what I've gathered (and please point out if I get anything wrong here,) the basic gist is that every system contains multiple pools of MT's, with the space station and each planetary body having their own set.

Further, they are classed as C, B, or A rank, with no MT being innately S rank.

The MT box at the space station/minor settlement/anomaly determines the rank of the MT it displays, and can grab an MT from the active pool at +/- 1 rank, which then means that every S rank box is pulling an A rank tool?

It also seems like I've been unable to get any box to spawn more than one tool no matter how many times I reload (regardless of rank) so is it safe to assume...

#

Multitool Hunting question [Question]

I have a planet that shows an anomalous alien multitool in several A's, B's and couple C's and each cabinet is shared with another tool, so you do have to reload to see the Alien tool. However, I then find an Sclass rifle on the same planet but it's not shared with any other tool.

So can there be two Sclass cabinets on a single planet or do I need to look at the other planets to see if the anomalous alien tool is shared between the other planets

Why aren't the planetary mechanics more realistic? [Discussion :snoo_thoughtful:]

Don't get me wrong, I love this game and already have hundreds of hours logged in Steam. In fact, I am tabbed out of the game right now and plan to resume playing as soon as I finish this post.

However, despite all the great aspects of this game, as an amateur astronomer the planetary, orbital, stellar, etc. mechanics really irk me. Where are the gas giants? Why are systems limited to six planets? Why are the planets so close together (you shouldn't be able to see other planets looming large in the sky, bigger than the Moon appears from Earth)? Why don't they orbit their parent stars? Why don't they rotate? Why is the space in between packed with closely-spaced asteroids, as if all of space were one giant, implausibly dense asteroid field?

I do understand from a practical perspective that it's simply easier and less intensive on your system to have a rotating skybox with stationary planets. I also understand the gameplay benefits of having asteroids readily available for mining. And it might make for more beautiful vistas for planets to be so close they loom large in the sky above your head. Some other decisions simply don't make sense to me even with these considerations, such as the total lack of gas giants or any non-terrestrial planets of any kind (ocean worlds of the type in this game count as terrestrial by typical definitions).

However, plenty of other games have realistic mechanics in this regard, including a few with procedural generation. Rather than detracting from gameplay, I strongly feel it would improve an already incredibly amazing game. There are ways to get appealing and enjoyable mechanics out of a realistic system, and I think it underestimates the beauty, splendor, and wonder of space to sort of box it in like this.

I also have no idea how difficult it would be to implement any of these things into the engine...

Galactic Core is so far away [Question]

So, I'm trying to get to the galactic core, but I can only seem to jump about 600 ly at a time (the path in the galactic map only goes that far each time). The Galactic Core is 690,000 ly away. Is this normal? There is NO WAY I can be expected to make over 1000 jumps, so what am I supposed to do here?

Also, is there ANY WAY to force the galactic map to keep my destination set as the galactic core? I don't know how many times I have gone into the map and jumped to the end of the path, only to realize that I didn't change it from the seemingly default and always present "Atlas station" to "Galactic core". It never "sticks." Every time I go to the map, it is set to "Atlas Station" and it is a REAL nuisance to have to remember to change it EVERY. DAMN. TIME.

so I decided to brain-dump some ideas for future updates to the game [Suggestion]

so I decided to brain-dump some ideas for future updates to the game. The goal was to serve a specific purpose rather than being totally exhaustive with every possible idea. as an overview: WATER

running water (rivers, waterfalls) Flora growth and density affected by running water and water sources. Milling technology STRATEGIC COMBAT

Crafting integrated into combat, more diverse enemies, exosuit-based melee attacks and dodging, ship shield control, evasive maneuvers.

Weapons for bases and settlements. Bases & settlements can be attacked by pirates while you're away. FACTIONS

Player-made factions with different faction classes, with specific skills, missions, and needs. Faction types work together passively to make advancements, factions can control solar systems, greater sense of role-play and community. CONFLICT

A No Man's Sky style PVP system with consequences integrated into the faction system and procedurally generated universe. Attacking player or faction bases, ships, settlements and space stations, while being far from the only way to interact with other factions.

Here's the original write up below. Major brain-dump. Typo galore. Would love if anyone wanted to do a rewrite of it and add their own ideas so we could pass it along to Sean and the Hello Games team?

No idea how serious they consider ideas like this, but they've been doing an amazing job redeeming the game and I'd love to share my enthusiasm for it while helping in anyway I can to help the game continue to grow and deliver amazing things for long-term and new players.

Alright, here's the mess:

Crafting integrated into combat? Running water that affects Flora growth? New enemy types? Ship battles beneath the atmosphere? Player-made factions with different faction classes? RICH true-to-universe PVP?

I tried to the most important future...

First core jump [Question]

Okay so I’ve had some time into this game, not in large chunks, but I just got to my first core and am thinking of jumping through it. What all should I expect/ what will happen when I go through it.

Portal broken or am I just missing something? [Question]

I am to the point in the Starbirth quest that it wants me to travel via portal. I have only done the main questline to the point where I met null, so I have little to no experience with portals outside the one point in the quest.

I have traveled via ship back to the first portal and I have three choices: Activate, Get this planet's address, and Leave. I am not given any option to enter a new address. If I go through the portal, I am taken to where I think the quest took me, but that was like a week ago or more and I don't remember what the planet looked like. I can't summon my ships (no error or anything), can't open the build menu, and if I try to summon my freighter it says Portal Interference. So I was stuck on that planet and reloaded from last save right next to the portal. The choices were the same; no change. I read a post somewhere that suggested placing a base computer then removing it to reset things somehow, but doing that at the portal seemed to do nothing. I closed the game and restarted, no change.

Is the portal basically useless and bugged? Do I need to find a new one somewhere? What will the portal actually prompt me with to enter glyphs?

Am I missing something? [Discussion]

I bought this game day one. Played for a while and put it down. Recently got back into it and I like it, I really do. But, I feel I'm missing something. I have a frigate and 3 different decent ships. I send other ships on missions and they come back. I jump to a system, scan the planets, land look around and that's it? I feel like the same materials are on every planet with a few exceptions so I don't get trading on different planets. Ok, so I'll build a base. But why? Does it do anything? I found a settlement that I became overseer of and built a couple buildings and settled a dispute)that was pure guess work, I didn't see anything indicating who was right or wrong). I can't figure out how to get back there any way even though I am certain there has to be some way or else that would be incredibly stupid. If I build a truck or whatever, why would I roam on a planet that all seem to look the exact same no matter how far I fly across it. Does it get more interesting the closer you get to the center? I would go back and look at the atlas quest line but I've traveled really far it would take forever to head back that way. Please, don't misunderstand, I have enjoyed my time seeing the new critters and planets and ships, but everything just seems... Hollow I guess. I hope Im missing something, or just haven't figured out a system or something and once I do everything just clicks. Please help.

Best farms for cash in survival mode? [Question]

In normal mode I never bothered with anything aside from an activated indium farm for money. But in Survival mode it's a bit of a pain because I can only carry maybe 7mil worth in one full load in my hauler.

Has anyone found a fix for the rainbow pixel glitch? [Bug]

So basically, my game looks a pixelated LSD trip. The glitch appears on animals, rocks, plants, ships, NPCs and human PCs, asteroids, multitools - either appearing completely black or white, but mostly in a plethora of pixelated colors. I’ve had this problem since reinstalling my game about a week ago, didn’t do anything else to it, it just appeared after starting it for the very first time. Here’s a list of things I’ve tried so far that didn’t do anything: -closing and restarting the game -disabling shader pre-caching in steam settings -updating drivers -disabling in-game overlay through Nvidia GeForce experience (which actually fixed it for a while until I closed and restarted the game again) -deleting everything in the shaders folder in the NMS steam directory (there’s never been anything in there) -setting my graphics as low as possible -switching between FXAA/TAA/FXAA+TAA -verify game file integrity on steam. And my specs: Intel Core i7 Nvidia GeForce GTX 1050 8GB DDR4 Here’s a screenshot (not my own game but exactly the same issue) Any help would be much appreciated.

[Idea]: Manufacturing Facilities [overrides] and the economy [Suggestion]

I've been a bit on a "how can existing things be used better" kick. Here's my current thought: make better use of manufacturing facilities. Planets are littered with them. Interacting with the interface provides an opportunity to unlock blueprints or nanites. That's fine as an option, like many other things, that's pretty thin.

We also already have "automated" farms.

I'd propose that we let player USE the factories to actually produce. Here's how I'm thinking it would work: Manufacturing facilities would continue to operate in much the same way. A new interface would be added to the building that operates much like a storage container for player mining farms. Heck, you could repurpose one of the out-buildings or add an "empty" storage depot. Since abandoned, there'd be nothing there A new option would be added to the player choices that would enable them to "restart" production if they can. This restart would produce the thing (slowly, probably) that it was originally created for. A new option would be added that would require a "Factory Override." This would let players turn on the factories to produce something for which they have a blueprint. This would override the standard production for something different.

In either 3 or 4, I think players would "source" the components for manufacturing. I could see this working as: Production time should vary by: the end result and the starting points. The further "down" the "chain" you source materials, e.g., just basic resources, the longer and slower production takes. Sourcing Geodesite is better than just Platinum. The further down the "chain" you pick for your end result, the faster the result. Getting Fusion Igniters take longer than Circuit Boards. Players could source materials a few ways: From other "controlled" manufacturing facilities. From "controlled" storage facilities on player's own...

Does this game come with an x-ray specs function? [Question]

So first I need to apologize if this is a really n00b question, but I've been scouring the internet and read it and I can't seem to find an answer.

First I want to say that I love the game. The initial learning curve was brutal but it did give me the rewards and all the other fun squishy dopamine stuff that I like in a game like this. God help me I think I've sunk nearly 200 hours into it LOL.

But after hopping around a few galaxies I decided I wanted to build an activated iridium farm like so many have done and found a planet that had thousand unit gap between an s-class energy source and an A-Class activated iridium mine area. I dids my research and put a base in the center with extensions to the base on either side so that they would cover the locations, just barely do.

On my brutally harsh planet, I also have some large velociraptor type creatures that like to pop it out of nowhere and try to take a chunk out of me. Between them and the superheated rainstorms, running all that cable started to get tedious. So I thought "hey I'll just use the terrain manipulator and Bill tunnels from my node Network to the base and then connect the base to the mining Network.

I connect it all, setting the base pieces and the batteries strategically to both extend the base but also maximize my electrical cable length. Then once everything was connected I confirmed that one generator was powering one extractor, I started adding generators side by side and connecting them together.

Then I flew over to the other end of the base and was about to do the same thing for the extractors (connect them together and then connect that Network to the storage units) and saw that the single extractor I had connected and that initially worked had stopped working. I deleted the cable that connected my power grid to the first battery and then begin to rerun that cable from my power...

NMS on Xbox One X vs. Series S [Discussion]

Wondering what's out there for comparisons for going from the Xbox One X to an Xbox Series S for playing NMS specifically, can't find much out there on the interwebs for side x side comparisons myself so figured I'd ask the community here to see if I can get some direct input.

As I understand it the load times are better on the Series S, but I'm more curious to know if the graphics are better, worse, or unnoticeable going from the One X to the Series S.

Yes I know Series X will be the way to go in the end but I've about had it trying to get a Series X through the various drops and I've lost my patience. Someday, hopefully, maybe, I'll get that Series X.

Thank you for any and all input, much appreciated!

My first experiences in NMS! [Screenshot]

Greetings fellow travellers and interlopers!

I have been playing NMS for about a month now and just wanted to share my first experiences (even created a reddit account just to post).

Day 1. Started on a hellish planet with toxic gas and regular fire storms. A day full with being chased by sentinels (which I had no clue about so early in the game), crashing my ship and struggling to survive on this brutal planet. An interesting start to say the least.

Day 2. Exploring the local solar system and the common planets in the area.

Day 3. Warp Drive! One of the first systems I end up in includes a paradise MOON. I land my bucket of bolts and compared to the other common planets that I have visited... just WOW, magical. A neon-pink-bubble-paradise! What are the odds?

Day 4 includes: Bought an unknown item for about 1000 units from a space-trader and turns out to be worth over 1M. Came across about 6 bones in the same area worth about 4M in total (1 was a record according to the current wiki). With my newly found wealth, I proceeded to upgrading my Warp Drive and buying a freighter.

Day 5-7(and a bit beyond...): Came across a bunch of glyphs, rare space anomalies, black holes, around 10 exotic biome planets, another bubble paradise moon, 2 diplos, an old NMS relic base computer relic, Aquatic Treasure (seems to be another record value), and took over a settlement on another extreme hazard radioactive planet.

With that said...what a beautiful and majestic f***** game NMS has become!

To be continued...

Multiple Freighters? [Suggestion]

My friends and I share a home system where we have a few planets we have spread out to surrounding a central home base planet. Only problem is, all of us have to call our freighters in from separate systems because of the 1 player freighter per system limit.

What would be cooler than looking up into the sky above your settlement than to see 2, 3, or 4 freighters loitering above? Just a thought. I don't think it would affect performance much if at all but it would make ship storage, item storage, and overall atmosphere much better.

What to do? [Discussion]

I just completed the storyline and reset the "ruthless" simulation and began scrapping ships for nanites. I talked to a player with 1000+ hours asking if there was anything else to do, and his answer was no. What do I do? I don't think I'll have any fun grinding for no end goal, but I want more out of this amazing game. Yeah, I can explore, build a cool base, buy a cool ship, but that isn't satisfying. I'd like to hear what all you guys love about this game, so maybe I could find the same fun in it.

Campaign bug [Bug]

My story mode mission has a problem, it happened when I was playing with my friend today, when I looked at the mission I had to do it said ā€œThe objective of the mission is another system in the space, watch the galactic mapā€ then I watched the galactic map and I didn’t found any system to go in the mission, then I looked at the register of the primary mission and it said ā€œThe mission is out of reach! Keep pressed the button to restart the actual mission and use the near structuresā€ I did that option several times but nothing happened it always gives me the same problem, so i’m the stuck with the campaign. But the most confusing thing about this is that 2/3 days ago it let me play the actual mission but I had to quit because I was busy, but today it started giving me this problem so I wasn’t able to play the campaign, if you know how to fix this problem please help me thanks. The mission’s name is: Follow the automatic guide of the ship (I play with Xbox one)

Mineral Extracting [Question]

I have set up mineral extractors and powered them but they aren’t extracting any materials from my hotspot. Does anyone know why this would be the case?

My two extractors are set up and powered by solar, battery and generator. They are constantly working but extract nothing

Expedition 3 Completed [Discussion]

Well, I took a break from No Man's Sky to play another game, and came back to complete the Expedition.

Is it just me, or is this Expedition somewhat underwhelming?

Instead of a combat update... [Discussion]

What if instead of a combat update, they made a new game? A spin off of no mans sky that focuses on combat. They could make all the different ideas that people wanted in nms like freighter combat, factions, and other things like that that would make it to where your standard nms experience is untouched, but the pro combat players also have a place in the community. Would anyone else support this idea? And would this game sound like something you would buy?

Combat Improvements [Discussion]

If there was to be a combat update, what problems with combat would you want fixed? Please don’t comment a 15 paragraph explanation on why there shouldn’t be combat in nms, this is entirely hypothetical. (Though I would like one

Seemingly easy feature request: Give players the option to use the "Screen Filters" available in photo mode while playing. [Suggestion]

I noticed today while using photo mode on the Nexus, that the screen/image does not pause when you activate photo mode in multiplayer. Some of the screen filters look great in motion, and I would love to be able to explore with them active for aesthetic reasons.

I think it would be great if we could activate some/all of these filters while actually playing. Hell, they could even give it a lore friendly setting name like "Light Spectrum" and tie it in with your analysis visor.

I can't imagine this would be hard to implement, it already technically works, just not outside of photo mode.

Getting close to the galactic core? [Question]

Wondering if the end of the storyline just brings you to the next galaxy, or if it only brings you near the next galactic core. If it automatically leads to the next galaxy without going through the core, then is there any easy way of getting as close to the centre of the galaxy as possible, without travelling through each star system in your way over? Hoping to build a town on a planet near the core, but I’m ~700,000 Light Years away and don’t want to travel that far.

My first time in a red star system [Discussion]

Finally got around to making that special engine for my ship to get to red star systems. Wasn’t expecting much if I’m honest, figured it was just something to do in the game.

Got here and I’m just…..kinda scared. Not terrified or jumpy but just how…..abandoned everything is. There is no space station, no outposts on the planets, no other ships around. I cant even call in my freighter.

Not sure why but I’m truly alone here and for some reason, it makes this game tej times more scary to me.

Anyone else get that feeling?

Friendly worlds [Question]

Any worlds or servers however you call them available I'm not very social but would like to have people around I'm still fairly new and don't have a clue what I'm doing half the time but if there's any communities who will accept me I'll be happy, I'm on Xbox and my tag is BeanMessiah.

What determines the Aesthetic designs of ships? [Question]

I know that wealthier systems determine the classes, and I know designs are different based on the type of ship it is. But do the designs defer between the different races? I’m finding it hard to find certain designs that I saw early on but couldn’t afford. I love the multi-finned fighter designs.

Need some motivation to play again,plz help [Discussion]

I've stopped playing for a long while abd tried to play again but was bombarded by all the new updates and stuff, I just felt overwhelmed and frustrated that I didn't enjoy playing it again. I wanted to do so much when updates came but because of my lack of knowledge in the game I just ceased playing it.

Can I Build a base on a portal. [Answered]

Like the title states. I tried doing research on it but only found answers I was not looking for. I’m wandering if building a base directly on a base will somehow mess it up? Will it still be use able if I construct on the portal, as long as I don’t block it?

Going to buy NMS on Christmas, wanted to hear from the community what to expect [Discussion]

So I’ve done lots of research, read articles, watched reviews and have taken a deep dive into the game and how it came to be, but I wanted to hear from the community just what I can get up to in this game.

I’d like someone to give me a rundown on the early game, all the different systems, the types of activities I can do, what research/upgrades there are and just a general overview of what kind of game it will be.

This isn’t a Should I Buy question, as I’ve already decided to purchase it, but I just want to read more about the details from a dedicated and experienced community.

if you decide to take some time out of your day to write about the things I’ve requested, I’d be very grateful.

Thank you if you read this, remember to keep yourself hydrated.

Need help recovering from a really dumb save fail. [Question]

A friend if mine gave me over s hundred salvage data as a way to help me get the rest of the research I needed from the anomaly station. I went to take off and crashed. Loaded my manual and later saved auto and kindof wiped all the salvage he gave me... I know players drop resources for others here and there. So I thought I'd ask here so I could replace the data before he gets angry. If anyone csn drop me salvage data lemme know ok? Sorry to bug.
