No NPC ships in space station [Question]

I have about 60 hours in NMS. My internet has been down for >1 day (Comcast tech coming tomorrow) and I booted up the game tonight but there’s no NPC ships in the stations, except 1, an exotic that was leaving as I entered. I want to stay to see if other exotics enter. But I’ve been waiting 10 minutes and no ships have entered. Does the game need online access to generate NPCs???

Atlas Quest [Question]

I think I'm close to the end of the Atlas quest, I am going to the center of the Calypso galaxy to the the "Final Interface" if I complete it and go to the center, will my character get wiped or something? I know normally all my stuff just breaks and I have to repair it but idk how it is for the quest. Any info would be greatly appreciated, I'm playing mostly blind but it's nice to know if I lose my character or not. 🤝

Question about Tropical biome [Question]

Has anyone ever encountered a tropical biome that resembles that of a toxic planet? It's listed as tropical which I was under the impression was lush but all the trees are dead and there's a constant yellow/green haze in the air.

Is there a mod or save editor function that lets you complete all missions? [Question]

I know you can go into the JSON file and change the mission progress one by one, but without knowing what the "finished" progress number is for each and every quest it would be a very tedious process. so i was curious if there was any possible way to complete all missions, or a save file download that had all missions already completed? Any help is greatly appreciated!

Six derelict freighters today. No aliens. Luck or did something change? [Question]

Honestly not a complaint. I hated the egg sacks everywhere. But I found myself running a bunch today with a friend and they were all abandoned and sentinel filled. Ironically most of the stories seemed about computer systems going haywire.

Might be reading into it but the no signal worm thing had me wondering if there was a subtle server side patch to these that anyone else noticed or if I was just getting very lucky in a great way with them. Or are the types you get dependent on system type?

Just ironically my main save had nearly 600 hours and I don’t think I ever got one that didn’t have eggs in it. Then today. Was a really fun and great change of pace for me.

New galaxy, lost my ship! Help? [Question]

So I just jumped through the galaxy center and went to Eissentam galaxy. But when I got there, my ship was lost and damaged. I called my other ship, but I can’t find the first one! Is there a way to find my lost ship? It’s damaged so I can’t call it and it doesn’t appear in my freighter.

Extreme 3d Pro Support for PC Xbox Gamepass Version? [Question]

So i've tried and tried to follow different guides on google but I just cant get it to work, the reason being is because where the game is installed for the XBGP version for PC the WindowApps folder is encrypted which makes the exe file for the game unusable when it comes to setting up a profile. I've tried using this guide here but when it comes to adding the game via the exe it says:

"NMS

You don't have permission to open this file.

Contact the file owner or an administrator to obtain permission."

I went into the folder and gave myself full permissions and even attempted to remove the encryption but no luck.

Basically it wont let me no matter what I do setup a profile for the game

I even tried using this guide here but when it came to setting up the profile I had the same issue.

I just want to get it working because i'm trying to play in VR and the Quest 2 controller for the joystick is just awful, impossible to control simply especially when you are in combat!

Any help fixing this would be much appreciated as I dont fancy buying the game again on steam and starting over (as I have over 50 hours gameplay on my XB version)

No quicksilver missions? [Question]

I haven't had a quicksilver mission in a few days now. Just jumping back in after a couple of years and I just want a living ship for my creative mode save. Anyone having similar issues? Or anyone with a spare egg...

Is basebuilding really this jank? Invisible hitboxes all over/glass windows that aren't there.. [Question]

Hey, so I've played NMS since release, but have never spent a lot of time building bases other than building what I needed for missions.

I recently decided to do another playthrough to finish the few remaining achievements I haven't done, and decided to finally build a big base, and spend time on decorating it and all that.

I found the perfect place on a paradise planet, I built a huge complex with several landing pads, and then I got to the part where I was going to decorate it, and now is where I've noticed a bunch of issues...

All over my base are these invisible hitboxes that makes it impossible to place down pretty much any decoration inside the buildings.

For example, I was going to make a nice bedroom overlooking a lake, and there's an invisible bubble in the middle of the room, and whenever I try to put down a decoration it turns green while floating at a 45 degree angle in the middle of the air.

Another thing I've noticed is that pretty much all glass panels in my walls can be walked through, like there is no glass in them.

I used the timber walls with the two large glass panels in them, and this seems to be an issue with all of the walls.

Also, regarding the hitboxes all over the base, it's not hitboxes leftover from any terraforming, I built the base a bit above the ground without disturbing any of the natural landscape.

Are all these issues known? Or has my save file freaked out in some way, this feels really janky and it's pretty much killed any hope of making this base look good.

Thanks in advance!

Drop pod usage amounts. [Question]

I got lucky with a vendor and I was able to buy a bunch of drop pod data. the past few days I've spend my time expanding my inventory, and so far my general inventory and my cargo inventory are both maxed, and I'm trying to finish maxing technology inventory.

But I've ran into a problem, I keep repairing drop pods, but the drop pods are no longer giving me any more slots. As soon as I repair a drop pod, it just exits the screen and I can't reopen the drop pod.

I used most drop pods data on 1 planet, so I thought I just hit the max number of drop pods on that planet, and I was finding drop pods that I already found, so I changed planets. I was able to use a few more drop pods on the new planet, but then the same thing happened again. I couldn't have hit the max amount of drop pods on that planet, but I still tried changing planets.

As soon as I was on a new planet, and used another drop pod, again, no new slots. So I was wondering if there's actually a max number of drop pods you can use before they stop working?

Hopefully a Dune Collab.. [Discussion]

Never seen or read Dune, but I'm 20 minutes into the 1980's version on HBOmax, and wow! The buildings look a lot like the new building materials in game, their planetary system (explained right of the bat) is sooo NMSish it's crazy, and it has a young Patrick Stewart, Sting, Kyle McLachlan from Twin Peaks, and made by David Lynch! I just know this movie, the remake, and hopefully the NMS update will all be great!

Are planets limited to one type of deposit? [Question]

I scan a planet and it says, for example, Activated Emeril, Pyrite, Sodium. I roam around the planet looking for mineral deposit of Pyrite but I find three Activated Emeril in a row. Is it worth to keep looking for Pyrite or am I just gonna keep finding Activated Emeril?

I mean the underground type I can place mineral extractors on and link supply depots to, not the visible deposits you find on the surface, so I can build a small farm.

Settlements [Question]

How do settlements work I've seen a tone of people mention settlements and it's gotten me curious.

#

Multitool weapon [Question]

Hi everyone :D

So regarding multitool weapons, which are the best ones? Is it up to personal favourites or is there one better than all other. I have tried using the pulse splitter for a bit and i dont feel like it's that good

#

Malicious sentinels, or non-existent? [Question]

Started a new save with Frontiers. I'm just starting Alone Among the Stars. There's a (paradise) planet in my first system. When I land on it, it says sentinels are non-existent and weather is beautiful. When I look at the stats any other time, it says sentinels are malicious / extreme and the weather is boiling storms.

I have yet to encounter a sentinel or a storm on this planet. Is the planet description bugged, or are the extreme sentinels and weather are being temporarily suppressed because of where I'm at in the early story?

I'd like to make this planet my main early base. (I do have a tutorial base built on another planet in the system.) But I don't want to waste my time, either!

Primitive. [Meme]

Whilst you ponder with villages and settlements I have been growing my fleet. My armies are at the ready and are willing to do anything it takes.

A time will come when the hub falls and my army rises. Know a force is mustering outside the system. And you cannot stop it. Not even together.

Prepare while you can. A war is coming.

Leap in the dark ship stuck in volcano??? [Bug]

Please make worms actually dangerous.They dont feel like a threat when its just looking cool. [Suggestion]

( i dont know if this changed yet its a little time since i played it) but when i remember right the sandworms looked cool but they didnt did any damage or had real danger of destroying anything.it have the wow effect for 5 seconds than they are gone. Wouldnt it be cool when they would actually insta kill you when they land on you? or wouldnt it be cool when they would actually destroy the shit outta this planet where every they go out and go in? i like the sandworms but they had no gameplay meaning. i mean in minecraft the monsters didnt just looked cool.they actuall had big danger.you didnt want them near your buildings and you were scared when they get near you. on no man sky you dont have that even when it would make sense. (sorry for shit english lol i hope you understand what i mean lol)

"Over the course of Halloween"? [Question]

So the official announcement of the new Expedition says it starts today and will run " over the course of Halloween." Anyone know exactly what this means? I'm assuming it means it'll run until midnight on the 31st, but that isn't a huge amount of time, less than two weeks.

Anyone have better info?

#

Question about the new expedition. [Question]

I've only played Ex3 before so this is my second expedition.

Is it normal that my "starting" look, ship name and multitool name are all the same as they were in the last expedition?

I presume this uses the Steam name as a seed?

#

CMV: NMS needs a story and play upgrade existentially [Suggestion]

As a person who got super into NMS for about 6 months and then without even finishing either story line I just got bored and haven't been able to play it even at all since I'd say my biggest issue is that the storylines are boring, it lacks really any crave-able drama when attempting to do a playthrough or emotional involvement, and it is easily forgotten.

There are no physical threats worth mentioning, there are no awesome characters that you fall in love with, there are no great intriguing moments of learning about your current character. It's all just "go here, do or find this" with more vague answers until you come so far you're bored with it.

YMMV but this was mine

#

Unpopular Opinion: I would rather pay quicksilver and use my existing normal save to start an expedition rather than starting a whole new save. [Discussion]

I think the idea of expeditions are great, but I don't enjoy playing a new save and starting from the bottom just to get a couple of rewards. Sure, as you progress, you learn the basic essentials along the way, but to me, it just seems like a waste of a save slot.

Put a little expedition station at the Anomaly or something and make us pay some nanites or quicksilver to start one. I would rather do that then keep starting new saves to earn some cosmetics and base parts.

#

Could I play the whole expedition with my friend? [Question]

Title. Me and my buddy are freaking out over sandworm companions and want to grind the rewards asap. But can we squad up and tackle the expedition together, or would we have to do it seperate? Are the milestones shared when in a squad?

Thanks for anyone who knows

"Stellar Corruption Detected", results may vary [Screenshot]

I come across this in a system with 4 dead planets, hoping to find life on the 5th or 6th.

I see "Stellar Corruption Detected" for one, get curious, and practice my google-fu. The first result is u/Kells_503 post:

https://www.reddit.com/r/NoMansSkyTheGame/comments/anu8nf/stellar_corruption_detected/

I get happy, just the type of planet I want, and havent quite run into yet.

its 165 C (329 F) when I land, I cant see, and then the storm ends, and it goes down to 44 C (111 F), still can barely see, and the weather is "poison cyclones"

I go to screenshot mode, turn off the fog and bloom, make it day, and this is the planet:

New player with a few questions! [Question]

Hey guys!

What should i use my nanites on? I have a small amount (1100) and was wondering if i should keep saving? Is there a vitality important thing i need to buy for instance?

Whats the best way to power my small base? The bio generator seems to burn through whatever i use for fuel.

Whats a good way to accumulate wealth? I would eventually like to upgrade my ship!

Thanks for any answers guys!

#

Expedition 4-Phase 3 Tip [Information]

So for those doing the newest Expedition, always remember that you can do some of the milestones out of order.

Phase 3 in particular has a milestone that requires finding Whispering Eggs. These can be found around abandoned buildings or scattered across desolate planets.

Thankfully the 1st rendezvous Star system has a desolate planet in it! So don’t stress about spending a lot of time locating them. Just get to the Star system where the 1st rendezvous is and look for the desolate/dead planet. They’ll be easy to find with your scanner.

Hope this helps some of you!

Do the materials from a refiner disappear after I pick it up? [Question]

Hello,

I was starting to craft some chlorine to sell in medium refiners and I wanted to move one and after I picked it up all the materials from it disappeared and werent put in my inventory. It had hundreds of thousands of chlorine in there...

Is this a bug or is it supposed to work like that? Sorry if its obvious, I have never really used the medium or large ones extensively and until now i never moved them with materials inside. I just assumed it would refund them the same way it does with fuel in the normal one.

Final? Farmer mission won't complete. [Question]

Can someone help. In the farmer missions I've grown all the plants. Now on what I think is the final interaction with the farmer when he warns me about the overseer and thinks he is being poisoned. Says he is leaving. But that's it, he doesn't. The mission just stays in the list. And whenever I go back to him I get the same text.

I've tried deleting the farmers station and rebuilding. I've tried deleting and rebuilding on a base on another planet. I've tried building it on the freighter. I've now deleted it from all these and put it back on the main base. But no joy.

Any help appreciated.

#

Thoughts [Discussion]

I have been playing NMS since launch day. I own the game on all 3 platforms ( PS4, pc and Xbox ). I truly love this game and all Hello Games has Diane over the years to enlighten our play experience. One thing that gets me though is why we get these updates that, personally, I could care less about. Rideable sand worms? Sand worm pets? I mean for some it may be enjoyable but for me not so much. I want a proc gen update. A variety update. Reasons to explore. A purpose to see what's over the next hill, in the next valley. The game becomes too stale in this aspect way too quickly. Tbh shop customization isn't even something I'd be ecstatic about. Variety, variety, variety that's what I want. Sorry for the rant I'll step off my soap box now

#

PSA: You don't have to do expedition milestones in order. [Information]

A reminder as we start a new expedition! You can do milestones in any order. Often, some milestones are made easier by doing others first, or the rewards for later milestones just make things easier in general. Always look through all milestones and their rewards immediately when you start.

Not so good admin [Discussion]

I just informed about nms update and the admin just deleted my post telling that is repeated

Kids on admin is just not good , what the point to have a comunity if they censor this kind of things

I feel like losing my time to be part of this, the only bad thing to leave is to lost friend, but I cant dell this kid admin

I hope tereis a admin over him to moderate him Not a comunity with this kind of people in charge

Feel free to ban me and delete this post, I find another place with better admin... good life

Where can I sell activated Indium [Question]

I'm quite new to the game but while I was on the space anomaly a player gave me 20000 activated indium. I want to sell the resource since I don't have that many Units however i cannot find a galactic terminal that will allow me to sell them. Can it only be sold it certain star systems if so where?

Hunt sandworms outside expeditions? [Question]

I know this had probably been asked already, but i dont enjoy expeditions too much but still love the idea of hunting the sandworms, do these new fightable nest thingies spawn outside of expeditions or is it exclusive?

It's easy to make money in this game... but [Question]

Apologies in advance... I'm new, only 160 hours into my first play-thru. I'm trying to ramp up my fleet and ran into the whole "I'm low on frigate fuel" issue. Discovered the "Buy Tritium" -> "Refine Di-Hydrogen" -> "Manufacture Freighter Fuel" process. It's great, for an investment of 30 minutes you can make 10,000 units of freighter fuel. But it's a little labor-intensive.

My question has to do with money-making... are there any low-effort or no-effort money makers out there that I'm missing?

BTW, to the guy that gave me a single item worth 15M units (Fusion Igniter?) on my first visit to the nexus, thanks! It's been a breeze ever since you did that.

Google has lied to me about the end-date of Expedition 3 for months apparently. Another for me to HATE Expeditions. [Discussion]

If I search "NMS Expedition 3 End Date" it still shows this

https://preview.redd.it/5pgpalxqumu71.png?width=693&format=png&auto=webp&s=13f59ecf43b4f0c51176daf1ff5a5520315d2312

so ya, my plans to do the Expedition THIS WEEKEND just went up in smoke. I have been busy playing other games recently and was entirely under the impression that there was 2 weeks remaining on EXP3.

THIS is why I don't like these time limited "one and Done" updates. THIS is why I have not touched NMS since EXP2.

I HATE Expeditions. I don't like making a new save every few weeks or months, and prefer to expand my existing saves and bases. I don't like Time Gated Content as it means that i have to play CONSTANTLY in order to get what I paid for initially. I don't like the extreme compression of the entire playerbase in one system, which has proven to lead to problems making normal gameplay frustrating to deal with.

Does anyone else Hate these "Expedition Updates"?

#

Instead of HG making a new expedition how about they finish the content they have already started [Suggestion]

Instead of HG making a new expedition how about they finish the content they have already started. They still have not fleshed out the settlements yet; NPCs still cannot be interacted with more than just the “leave” option. How about at least them just giving us missions to do like in the space station. That is such an easy fix. The space station override key from the last expedition still doesn’t even work, so that was never finished. If anything should have been the next content release it should have been something to do with the space stations and the override key. Why even give us an override key if it has no use.

There are tons of other things from other updates that have also been abandoned. HG is just adding content half-baked then moving on just so they can check off all the boxes just so they can claim they have a feature that isn’t really a feature.

HG needs to stop adding new content and flesh out the things they have already added.

#

How do expeditions work? [Question]

So I haven't played a ton of no mans sky even though I have had it since launch. I love the game but I only really play it in spurts or just to vibe out and relax.

So I only have 1 normal save file saved. My question is to do the expeditions do I have to start a new save and character? I really want to do it and get the sandworm.. but I want it on my main save. I really don't have interest in having a save only for these events since I really barely play on the one as is.

So I was wondering what the deal is with this and if there is any way to do the expedition on my main save or if it is just a sadly whole new character for these events. I really hope not because that sadly ruins my personal willingness to do it though it looks very cool.

#

Change of Ownership In Settlement [Question]

So, I came back to my Expedition save, get it converted over, and I get a warning that my Settlement was under attack. This is annoying, but hey, free Pugneum. I dispatch the Sentinels. I collect the ammo. I got to the Overseer's office to see what new opportunities are there. I see "Terminal reserved for Overseer." I take a look at the central console in the middle of town. The town has been renamed. It has apparently changed ownership to a different player. When I last looked, it was an S-class settlement. Now, it's dropped down to B-class.

What the hell happened?

#

Some much-needed Additions, Adjustments, Removals and tweaks. [Suggestion]

Over the years HG has a lot of content and mechanics changes to NMS, however this has resulted in older content becoming redundant or in need of a few tweaks.

QUESTS

some of the quests especially early-game tutorials and base-building missions have become redundant and need some tweaks such as condition-checking or removal.

tweaks: the scanning tutorial - add condition checking, if the player has already used the scanner to scan objects and creatures before the tutorial pops up, then that tutorial should be skipped as it is obvious that the player knows how to use the scanner.

Removal:

the base archives - completely redundant outside of unlocking the construction unit, all of the other base-part unlocks are all in the Anomaly

Expanding the base (Optional version) - again redundant given that both base-building parts and crafting items are unlockable in the anomaly, the only exception is Apollo's mission "Ghosts in the Machine" where the player is required to have a base with the scientist.

MECHANICS:

Tweaks: Add a toggle for guidance messages Add a toggle for the suit voice Add W and E to the compass

Removals:

get rid of the appearance override mechanic when building on-top of archways and add the bare timber/stone/alloy variants as separate parts for the player to choose.

get rid of the auto-pin mechanic when a player obtains a new blueprint

get rid of the mission auto-switch mechanic.

BASE BUILDING:

Tweaks: allow the player to move the base computer, as long they are still within the original base radius instead of removing the legacy wood/concrete/metal base parts, keep them as optional variants. expand the light fields of existing light-producing parts as many of them appear lit but have virtually no light-field reduce the snapping range, having snap points appear from the other side of the base...

#

Change the interior design of space station [Suggestion]

What do you think about making space station not all the same inside. I'm fed up to visit the same clone each time.

At least, one space station style by race, or the interior reflect the exterior, cause they already made differents designs.

What do you think?

NMS on AMD CPUs? [Question]

Hi, I'm planning on getting myself a new PC! Though I'm not very experienced, and I would like to know if NMS runs smoothly with AMD CPUs - smoothly, as in 30 FPS or more solid. Thats smooth enough for me :D

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

#

Can I finish old expedition on PC (GamePass, not Steam version) without "cheating"? [Question]

I'd like to finish the last expedition (Cartographer) which I've been playing on my XBox and PC. I don't want to "cheat" and edit game saves to get the rewards, I just want to finish what I started. Either on my PC or my Xbox, can I just set the clock back so that I can finish the expedition? If so, is there anything else I need to do, because I suppose it might complain when it connects to the network.

#

Please add the ability to disable quest pop up or add Sandbox exploration mode [Suggestion]

I just want a free exploration experience. Not interested in base building, nor saving flat and boring story characters.

I just want to explore this beautiful universe. But that stupid alien guy keeps speed dialing me every time I leave the planet atmosphere. He's like a telesales agent that doesn't take no for an answer. And I can't block him. He's driving me crazy. Plus the quest missions keep popping up on my screen as well.

Please make a game mode where nobody is bothering you every 5 mins and tell you what to do. It's so annoying.

Returning Player Questions [Question]

Hi, I haven't played in two years and am looking at getting back into the game. Obviously there have been some major changes, so am I better off just starting over? I'm at about 40 hours, 2k nanite, 50 million units, my starter freighter, and a half-dozen jumps into the game. Should I start over, or just learn the new mechanics on my existing save?

PC Controllers Still Broken? [Bug]

Hi. Wanted to try this game after all the updates.

I had played it a couple years ago and liked it. XBOX One wireless controller worked just fine.

Fast forward to today, NOTHING will get the controller working. I've tried big picture mode, making sure the controller is one before the game starts, and every other trick that's in all the Reddit posts and elsewhere about this same issue.

What else can be done? Are the devs aware of this issue that's been going on for about a year or more? I'd love to play the game in a relaxed way with a controller.

Thank you!

FPS issue (help :( ) [Question]

I've had a problem with my game since a few updates ago (the one that introduced the volcanic planets I don't remember what it's called) where my FPS suddenly dropped dramatically after a few days of playing normally.

I was able to run the game with around 40-60 FPS before with high settings, but it suddenly dropped to 1-20 FPS.

I've tried everything I found online to fix it but to no avail.

If anyone happens to know how to fix this, I'd greatly appreciate it because it's incredibly frustrating.

I really enjoyed playing this game with friends but now I can no longer do that because of this.

I've reinstalled the game multiple times, changed the NumbHighThread and Low, turned off Game Mode on Windows 10, vSync, etc. I don't know what else I can do :/

My PC:

i5-7400 CPU

8 GB RAM

GTX 1050 TI

If that helps...

Quick question about Expedition 4, no spoilers. [Spoiler]

Purpose of upgrading ship weapons? [Question]

Everything is dirt easy to fight and can be killed with the base gun. Things on the ground are even tankier. Why is there no end game challenge for space combat.

I want to pvp in no mans with an ingame system.

Stuck in space station wall [Bug]

So a few days ago I got stuck in a space station wall getting out of my ship. I decided to take a bit of a break but now am trying to figure out how to get out. I tried the online multiplayer thing but nothing seemed to change the position of my player in single player. Manual base save, auto save, freighter. Now after trying that both my Manuel and auto save put me in the wall. I play on Xbox so I don’t think I have access to the save files do I??? Anyways, help would be appreciated.

#

Aside from expeditions, what else to do? [Question]

So let's say I have this friend. This friend has only casually played NMS since launch (maybe 10hrs a year) but has recently gotten into it quite a bit more recently.

Now my friend would be embarrassed to admit this, but once he got to the end of the primary quest line he thought the point of the game was pretty much over. Sure he's taking time to base build, look for neat discoveries, and upgrade his ships... but he didn't even know about expeditions until today!

Suffice to say, this friend is now wondering what else to do they may have been missing. Please let me know what your favourite activities are in game!... So I can tell my friend of course...

I would love it if they didn't make Expeditions time-based. [Discussion]

I don't get to play often, but browsing online I see I missed some cool stuff I could never get again. Like the Mass Effect ship. I don't have a ton of time to play with life and other games, and I know expeditions aren't THAT time-consuming, but I wish there was a way I could do all of them from the beginning - like EX1-4 from a quest giver, in order, one time only. Please no hate.

Living Ship not appearing? [Bug]

I've done the whole Starbirth quest and was ready to finally collect my ship, but when I arrived at the final coordinates, there was no ship at the crash site. There was a base right next to the site, but even after reloading, reporting the base so it appears,,, the ship is still missing.

Couldn't find any posts on this thing happening, so help would be appreciated :/

Expedition 4, Hunt 4 question.. [Question]

Trying to get the 16 ancient bones.. using the scanner and it’s sending me in the ‘right’ direction but signal is too weak to give a distance and this isn’t a ‘bones planet’� been going for 30 minutes now.. anyone who’s done this, any advice?

#

Any hope for passenger vessels? [Discussion]

I've been a long time fan of the game, but one hiccup I've found more often then not with the cooperative sense of the game is the game lacks easy travel as a group. The frigates are awesome, and the new ships are for the beautiful and run great in my experience, though I think the game could benefit from crewed vessels, potentially with interiors.

Would be damn good fun if we had a millennium falcon style setup, or at the very least gunner positions in some of the larger ships.

I haven't seen much push for this, and there's likely a pretty good reason why it'd be immeasurably difficult to program, but I think it'd bring in a lot more people. Especially those who get easily motion sick from flying (with or without VR) but still want to enjoy the game.

Building info/builder help request [Discussion]

Wasn't really sure what flair to use. If this request is out of line for this community, my apologies. I was going through some bases to delete old computers I used as system markers when I came across a base my friend and I had started. Sadly, that friend is no longer among the living and I really want to do something special at this place in his memory. Unfortunately I am by no means a "builder of wonders" and was wondering if--

1- there is a particular content creator that most would agree is the most useful in learning intricate building techniques, or--

2- someone in this community with the ability to really tap into some creative architectural designs that wouldn't mind linking up every so often to assist in the construction?

I'm not in a rush to get this done, but I do think it would be nice to one day have a completed tribute to my friend who was fascinated by the concept of multiverses and enjoyed relaxing on the weekends cruising the cosmos.

Living Ships and Portals and Leaps in the Dark [Information]

Really wish I’d done more research when I started the Living Ship quest line. If I’d know that I’d be hard locked out of the final stage due to not knowing any portal glyphs (despite the fact that they’re right there on the portal itself), I wouldn’t have gone out of my way to gather all the LS components. shrug

Expired Expeditions Ruining my Return [Suggestion]

I keep considering coming back to NMS but not being able to play content because it somehow "expires" is a deal breaker for me. Why they would put all that time into art and coding and not make it available forever seems like such a waste. I can't always play a game at specific time intervals to participate in content. Life just gets in the way.

Hello Games, please make all Expeditions available at some point. Maybe a few months after their initial release. 🤞

Periodic issue where systems show up on your visited list but you know you never went there. showed up again in expedition 4 that i can actually prove/point out. [Discussion]

This isnt all the time, but when i first started playing warping and using that system visited list was overwhelming at first. Often id see systems on my list i was sure i never went to. especially when stars show up that i know i couldnt have visited....

fast forward to being more experienced, and wiser in this game. and hasnt seen this [bug?] in a long time till today, when i went to the screen that shows my visited systems. and theres one on the list that i KNOW i didnt go to because i havent warped yet.

the system was discovered by: [number of numbers] which from experience seems a bit fishy to me. so how does this happen? whats getting fudged that i see systems on my list ive never been to? Ive never been able to find the correct keywords for google and all i get are results teaching me on how to use the warp map and portals...

Rare Underground - Always Active Expedition Four [Question]

Has anyone found the Rare Underground creature on the starting planet for exp4? If so, is it a proper creature or is it one of those Scrat type creatures?

What should I do in the game? [Question]

Alright, so I joined this subreddit a while ago when I installed the game for the first time. I played for a little while, maybe three or four days, and then got bored.

Since then, whenever I've came on Reddit, you guys are loving the hell out of this game, and I'm glad you do, but I guess it's one of those games where you have to get into it for a while before it truly captures you.

I'm overwhelmed with how much options there are. I know it's sandboxy, and I'm supposed to 'make my own fun', but when I feel like there's so much I don't understand, I don't know what is good or bad, I lose interest fast.

Same thing happened with Terraria. It sat in my steam library with two hours play time on it for years. Then, I gave it one good go and that number shot up to 200 hours really fast.

I'll admit, I didn't really pay much attention to the tutorial, but that was because I already felt lost at the start. I know that's sort of a paradox, but that's just how it happened.

I'm free this weekend, and want to give it a good go again. I'll keep myself un-distracted, focus on what I'm doing and supposed to be learning, but at what point should I know if this is the game for me or not?

Any suggestions, preferably without spoilers, would be great.

I'm not dunking on the game, I just don't feel engaged honestly, but I know that's my own fault for not giving it a fair chance.

Not Enjoying This Expedition [Discussion]

Three times now, I have found myself stuck, unable to go anywhere. First time I started at the bottom of a lake with impassable mountains that couldn't be tunneled through. Second time I started on some plains, headed towards my ship, fell into a pit with un-tunnelable mountain sides. Third time I started on some plains, storm comes through and a worm launches me into, you guessed it. A pit of no escape.

I have yet to be able to reach my ship.

I was today years old when I learned there's a turbo function in the galaxy map. [Information]

If you press forward then tap the melee button (whatever it is on your platform) the camera will move about 5x as fast until you release the button or stick to stop moving forward. Probably old news to pros, but I'm definitely not a pro (even after all these hours), so it was news to me.

Makes me wonder what other hidden button-press functions there are that I never stumbled across.

Any luck gene splicing the hungering worm? [Discussion]

I've tried splicing the jeans in the hungering worm companion but it seems to be fixed. Adding more than 3% genetic change swaps it from its default centipede esque form to a more typical open ringed mouth sandworm. I really like this companion but dislike the mouth of the starter and the short length of the modified version. Hoping somebody else's tried testing and come up with a good solution.

With the Addition of Expedition 4, are we finally going to get a 'Toggle Camera Shake' button?? [Suggestion]

Title pretty much says it all. I feel like this feature should have been implemented long ago and yet here we are. . . This new expedition really highlights how bad of an issue this can be with the on-screen text being nigh-unreadable with the amount of camera shake going on. Not to mention how nauseating that level of constant screen shake is. Devs, please just add a toggle for this, its long overdue imo.

Efficient use of livestock units / automatic feeders / nutrient processors. [Discussion]

I was fairly surprised that the only advice I've seen on the internets so far has been "livestock unit worthless, needs babysitting, better off milking by hand or leave the computer over night". Nothing can be further from the truth so I'd like to put this out there just in case there are more folks who don't have this all figured out yet.

Nutrient processing is highly profitable. For example, the Creamy Treat recipe lets you convert 50 frost crystals and 100 milk into over 3,000,000 units worth of money, way more than you'd get by crafting trade products. The downside, of course, is having to micromanage the nutrient processors as they process 50 items at a time and need refilling every 4 minutes. So in order to utilize your processors efficiently you should run 15-20 processors at once - depending on how quickly you can click your mouse.

https://preview.redd.it/fio1l095lqu71.jpg?width=1920&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=81d69f7ba82a60399c5cd02a5d9bca9ff1828a73

See what I'm getting at? Put livestock units and feeders near nutrient processors! Combined with a storage cube linked to your farm, and a trading terminal, you can stay there almost indefinitely micromanaging nutrient processors while enjoying a continuous supply of animal products from your livestock unit. You don't have to relocate your entire base there, or even the farm, just the nutrient processors.

Now, you may argue that such flow of milk is still very slow. Well, actually this depends dramatically on the planet. If you find a planet with large herds of animals wandering around, you can easily have 15-20 animals hanging out at a livestock unit simultaneously. For example the livestock unit on my screenshots spins almost constantly, producing like...

Is there a list of the changes made specifically for VR? Especially regarding interface, and controls? Last time I played it, when it first came around, it really couldn't be used to replace the KB+M, and it doesn't support controller, so it just couldn't be used effectively at all, basically.

Abandoned Settlements? [Suggestion]

I don't know if this already exists, but I think it would be cool if, just like abandoned bases, there were abandoned settlements. Maybe it was abandoned because of a sentinel overtaking, or it could have the classic abandoned building style, with the goop everywhere and the whispering eggs haunting the buildings. They wouldn't be as common as the abandoned buildings, normal settlements would be more common, but still what I think is a fun idea to mess around with.

Embrace the Fire heat damage milestone, the easier method :) [Information]

So, for the new expedition, if you want to get the 'Embrace the Flames' milestone, you have to take physical damage from extreme heat. The easiest way is to let your heat protection run out before a storm so you're just on hazard protection.

When a storm comes, it'll start eating away at your hazard protection. While it's doing that, jump up high enough that you take fall damage when you drop, to your shield. To get the milestone you need to have no hazard protection AND no shield when you take damage.

Try and time it so you run out of shields about when the hazard protection runs out, and you'll quickly take heat damage, then you can reload your shield, hazard, and fire mod, so you don't die :)

The worm burrows are not present in normal mode [Information]

So I've completed the expedition, and used a portal to warp my main normal mode character to Tomag (one of the worm planets). I was hoping to get some fleshy rope and visceral things to refine into nanites, was pretty excited to have a new nanite farm that I could actually get a reasonable amount from.

However, title. No worm burrows in normal mode. No big flying worms. No infestation. However the items are still available in my catalogue, just blacked out.

After the station core override reward from Exp3 not working at all and still not being fixed.. can we expect this expedition's features to ever be used in normal gameplay? Seems like a huge waste of time, designing all those models animations items etc just to use them for a month and then scrap it all.

combat update [Suggestion]

no mans sky is in need of an update that makes the game more challenging, such as challenging enemies, PVP, dungeons and dangerous places to explore, as combat is the thing that is missing in the game, a pvp area, ships with armed enemies, don't let it be like ship combat enemies that you slap both of them and they die...

Sandworm companion in egg sequencer no difference [Discussion]

Hey. I just wanted to check in with people here if they have also tried putting the sandworm companion egg in the egg sequencer.

I have tried it a couple of times. Majorly overloading the gene splitter, color and so on. I also tried changing the size from average to very large.

But when i hatch the egg, it looks the same no matter what, which makes me believe its appearanace is hardcoded. Color, size, allways the same. The playfullnes is also put to 100% automatically. The mouth type is also the same it seems.

Adding onto it, i'm also wondering if companions grow with time after hatched. I havent seen a single mention of it one the entire internet..

If Only - NMS + Elite Dangerous [Suggestion]

I wish I could take the planet's and base building of NMS and put them into Elite Dangerous. Elite's universe, galaxy map, flight and battle mechanics, market simulator, and faction powerplay mechanics are awesome. You actually feel like you are really in space and the faction powerplay gives you something to continue to do once you've rank up your equipment. But the billions of planets are pretty boring because most of them are just rocks. And you can't build anything. If Elite had NMS's planets and base building (or better yet Dual Universe's building), that game would be insanely entertaining. Or if NMS adopted some of those awesome Elite features...

Whispering eggs are not fun to collect [Discussion]

Sure, it can be exciting to mess around with, but when you actually HAVE to do it...16 times? It sucks.

Break an egg and then desperately try to grab the core before it rolls away, gets obscured by the swarm, it fades away, you get knocked sub orbital, or just outright killed.

Then do it 15 more times. Assuming you got the core.

I think it's telling that most people use the tunnel gimmick to collect them. And that STILL doesn't guarentee you'll get them.

Even without the swarm, the fact that it rolls away and fades after like 1.5 second makes it hard to grab them. Not sure if that's easier on PC, but it sucks on PS4.

I never minded them till this expedition made them necessary. But DAMN im over it. The swarm shouldn't activate till you actually pick up the core. That would make it more like the hadal cores and the anglerfish.

Sorry for the rant, but i just finished that challenge and like wow... not really fun or worth it.

Trouble with worm expedition [Question]

I’m on the last phase of expedition 4, where you have to get the vile spawns. There are no more of the hives left on any of the planets. I use my scanner and it says “too weak for distance estimate” and I’ve tried walking for thousands of units and it never finds a spot.

I found plenty of them earlier in the expedition, but it seems like they are do not respawn and everyone has destroyed them.

The mission says to use the galactic map to find a system affected by the titan worm, how can you tell in the map?

Cool bug I found [Information]

So, me and a friend were building our base, when I found a grave. It was just, there. I built my base around it. I exited, and when I rejoined, I was able to get another glyph. And another. I have 9 glyphs from the same grave.

Build your base around graves, dupe your glyphs.

I finished the Emergence Expediton. [Discussion]

Finally, after almost 9 hours of game play, I did.

It was fun at parts and annoying at others.

Some general tip for players,

Keep 3 hadal cores you get from the derelict freighter

Keep 4 larval cores you get from the whispering eggs

Remember at least one of the planets where rendezvous points are so you can do the final objective.

Keep about 150 cursed dust when mining.

Grab the 16 ancient bones on the first planet you find that has ancient bones, just to save you time.

Man, this was longer than the previous expedition, mostly the grind was in finding the locations.

[Help] Can't enjoy the game anymore due to crashing [Question]

I've clocked 50 hours into the game, over 2 separate save files. The first file had around 30 hours in it, and when the september 3.66 update came, No Man's Sky started to hard crash my entire PC, forcing me to do a hard restart. It would happen on the most random times, and the earliest being as soon as I boot into the planet. It doesn't go into a BSOD, but the screen just goes black (or other colors sometimes) and the sound starts to hang. I tried everything from verifying files, to doing a clean uninstall re-install, and even to rolling back my drivers. I would highly appreciate some technical help because I really don't want to give up on this game despite it not being playable for literally 10 mins. I can play heavier games completely fine for hours on end, but this game just breaks so much.

Whispering Egg bases - Expedition 4 [Discussion]

Firstly, let me say that there are some really useful bases built for farming Whispering Eggs. This is not aimed at those bases. This is for the other type of "base" builder.

We're all playing the expedition on mostly the same planets, this means that making a base for farming Whispering Eggs can really help a lot of other players out, and that really is appreciated - the "larval core farm, your welcome :)" build is a perfect example of this - a base that allows you to farm what you need with ease.

The first building my scanner took me to had an example of the worst kind of base. The builder had buried the base computer (dig a hole, put the base computer in it, fill in the whole), dug a very shallow trench (not a hole) and turned base editing off. The result of this "build" is that horrors can spawn in to the trench, with the trench being just deep enough to make it difficult to exit while being hit by horrors.

This kind of base doesn't need to exist, and by existing it stops anyone else being able to build a proper farming base. If all you're going to do is dig a shallow trench to farm what you need and then move on, you don't need a base, you can make a trench without sticking a base computer down. And don't hide the computer to stop people removing it - while you may think you're being smart by stopping people being able to remove your "base", we all see the username of the base owner, so we all know who makes the bad choices that make the buildings useless for everyone else to farm.

Activated indium in rocks [Question]

I’ve recently discovered that shooting rocks from your spaceship is an infinitely better way of mining ferrite dust than with your multi-tool. It suddenly just occurred to me that if there are rocks that contain activated indium, shooting them from a ship would also be an awful lot quicker than collecting from a farm…

So are there rocks that contain activated indium that I could shoot?? Hoping one of you will know!

Will I lose my multi-tool upgrade if I dismantle it? [Question]

Base Building Questions [Question]

I’m no stranger to base building but have never had a neighbour, so;

  1. When I extend my base building area, does it extend the entire area or just the area I’m building toward?

  2. After extending, what happens if that area overlaps another players building area? What happens with permissions? I don’t want to impact my neighbour…

  3. Message modules. I’ve come across three in separate player bases over the past week, but no message is being displayed for me. Do they not always show, or is it just coincidence that no messages had been input by those players?

Thanks in advance for any answers 😌🚀

Is the Expedition is a laggy mess for anyone else? [Discussion]

So I love the idea of expeditions giving you stuff to do and rewards sending you all over. (minus the damn cursed soil being mined everywhere already lmao).

But gooooood lord is it a shaky laggy mess with the storms and worms exploding every .5 seconds. Im not sure if anyone else is just really struggling performance wise with this but it has gotten super infuriating at some points and I only just got to phase 3.

I am not sure if it is my pc, I have had 0 issues playing in the past but man they planets are just brutal to have to suffer through imo. I love the idea and obviously think it is cool... but I really think they may need to scale back the worm spawns tbh. I know that is the point but 50 erupting in one area every 3 seconds just is miserable.

Im not sure if it has to do with players leaving stuff everywhere too, but I can not be alone here.

Over all just my thoughts I think it is cool, and I will def finish it after all my hair pulling lmao, but I think it could have been executed a bit better.

Anyone else underwhelmed by the latest Expedition? [Discussion]

The idea was so cool but the actual creatures were a disappointment. The Hungering Tendrils seem to attack and screech and overall look amazing, but they deal no damage so any sort of impact they had originally is immediately removed. Imagine if they not only did damage, but their cries for help alerted a nearby titan into swooping down, trying to swallow you (1 hit death, making it a genuinely terrifying encounter).

Speaking of Titan Worms... hoo boy, I feel like having them as common as they spawned and then NOT having any other mechanics just... made them more annoying than anything. The wow factor of finally seeing one went away fast. Now they just shake my screen all the time or occasionally yeet me into space (which is admittedly fun, but I doubt it was intended).

It was such an amazing concept and I'd genuinely have been happy to wait a few more months for a fully fledged out experience where the threat was genuine. Quality of Expeditions > Quantity of Expeditions.

TL;DR: Hungering Tendrils do absolutely nothing, Titan Worms become redundant fast and have no other purpose than to shake the screen. Overall disappointing.

Is it possible to trade for/receive a sandworm egg if you haven’t completed the expedition? [Question]

That being said, is it possibly to obtain one outside of completing the expedition?

My thoughts after playin recently for the first time [Suggestion]

First of all, sorry for bad English (and Regards from Brazil o/)

I'm from the whos that chose to ignore the game at launch because of how troubled it was. Today, almost 8 years later (?) I come to say how honored I feel to be able to experience No Man's Sky. There are so many evolutions and maturation by Hello Games that I can't even describe. Thanks to all the developers for giving so much attention and affection to the game. It's very difficult to see a team so passionate about what they do. Definitely a great example for the entire community! I can say calmly after 60 hours in freaking four days. The experience here is pretty solid and I feel like I'm in an episode of Star Trek where I'm the protagonist and I'm free to do whatever I want. It's insane the amount of updates and work that the whole team set out to do all these years. Finally, I would like to leave some suggestions that would change the game from EXCELLENT to PERFECT!

Ps: These are suggestions that I believe most around here have already written about, so just consider it as a highlight /reinforce. I think investing a little bit more in Multiplayer would be pretty neat. It would be interesting to be able to trade ships between players, to be able to help some friends by sending some money (units), suddenly a few more interactions, but this last one would be just preciousness on my part.

Some bugs are annoying, like NPC ships crossing mountains and not being able to sit in a chair without floating around. I've also been experiencing bugs like when I get a Teleporter the ship is parked inside the base structures (mainly in trading posts).

I imagine how hard it has been for the whole team. Here I leave my sincere thanks to all of you. And please keep up the hard work! We are with you!

Below, just a screenshot of an amazing moment I had recently....

Missed Expeditions and Twitch Drops [Discussion]

Hey Team,

I just wanted to get a general discussion going regarding missed events for NMS.

I've been doing all my expeditions but only found out about the Twitch Drops recently so I missed out on that. Yes, I know the Twitch Drops are mostly available at the QS trading center but I kinda still wanted to collect it, as it applies to each new save...

I have a friend who missed expedition #1 and stopped playing after realizing he could no longer get the Golden Vector... he really wanted that golden ship but didn't finish the expedition in time as he started late.

The topic of debate: Should there be repeats of Expeditions and Twitch Drops? Do you think that's fair to those who made sure they stayed on top of things? What about those who just got the game, shouldn't they be offered a chance at getting those rewards as well?

Does anyone know if they will be repeating expeditions or twitch drops?

If you agree with repeated expeditions/twitch drops, should we start a petition?

I'm curious to see how everyone else feels about this. Let me know your thoughts. Cheers.

Submission : A train for transport [Suggestion]

I got an idea about automatic transport system. Imagine a train that can be controlled automatically or controlled by a player if required. You would have to place down tracks ,"charging room" and some other stuff that would be needed to function . It would have wagons. You could place storege creates and generators on those wagons if you want. This Train would have it's own interior to walk in like in Freighter. You would be able to get inside your train and you would have to either press a button to let the train drive itself to your selected location while you would do some other things inside the train like refining something instead of driving it OR you can just manually controll it.

I think this would be a great feature to the game. What do you think ?

Some clarification on ship classes storage / tech [Question]

I'm new! like 60 hours new, I have a B class fighter I love with 42 inventory slots and 12 tech, if I up its class can I up that? I have an S class that seems to have less available as a max? (denoted by that tiny white box maybe?)

I've been googling around and get a lot of conflicting info lol. Some say they are all up-gradable all the way up to max class/storage/tech some say they aren't.

If I can upgrade the S classes I've already found with more storage and tech that would probably be easiest since upgrading class costs nanites, even if I've developed an unreasonable attachment to my little B class.

Thank you in advance.

The worm mount is a technological milestone for the game, interlopers. [Wormpost]

The worm is the ONLY creature in the entire game that can be trusted as much as our ships and exocraft, and marks a technological milestone for Hello Game's success at coding reliable systems for this game that directly implement the infinite concept.

All of the rideable creatures are amazing but if you have really played around, you'll know absolutely NONE of them can actually explore indefinitely like their design and playstyle is in all ways perfect and practically designed for. Allow me to explain all of the shortcomings that make them explicitly incapable of being reliable go-to ways to actually explore a planet. Foremost, it seems that all fast creatures can't explore indefinitely due to a bug that will cause the pet to dismiss itself when traveling at high speeds, instantly de-spawning at random times, jeopardizing every reason to want to use them. Land creatures will encounter this self-dismissal glitch while sprinting, 2 legs and 4 legs confirmed. more legs than that cant sprint fast enough i think. Beetles are the worst offenders by far and have their immense speed absolutely quashed by the tendency to glitch into the ground, and the absolute only mount that at ALL sizes is guaranteed to encounter the self-dismissal glitch. Butterflies, metal balls, and the overall slower classes of flying mounts can all get permanently stuck on terrain with steep inclines and rocks positioned the right way to stop you.

The point is, on almost all planets that you'd actually want to explore with mounts, you cannot leave the mount alone and expect to still be riding it in 10 minutes, a half hour, an hour. Something is guaranteed to stop your journey, and if you want to ride your creature as it freely explores the planet like a safari, you will 100% have to intervene in order to maintain the journey and / or not die accidentally.

⚠�⛔IMPORTANT QUESTION⛔�️ [Question]

So for Community expedition 4. Or really any expedition. Do i get the rewards right after completing the stages? Does it sometimes not give you rewards? Or is there just a delay to get the rewards? Im confused, has this happened to anyone else?

So now what [Question]

The main quests appear done but there is soo much I still don’t know?

How do I change galaxies? How do I get enough salvage data to release everything?

How biomes can possibly work [Suggestion]

Before I get started, yes I know biomes are a controversial topic and there will be people that say it would make exploring super repetitive, but c'mon, being in a plains surround by trees with an arctic mountain landscape in the back would be absolutely sick.

The chances of finding a multibiome planet would be something like a 1/8, so they don't become repetitive

Also finding multiple planets with multiple biomes in one system would be something rare to find

The different biomes on these planets would only spawn with other planets in their category.

Categories:

Lush is compatible with All

Exotic is compatible with Toxic, Radioactive, and Desert

Cold is compatible with all but Exotic and hot

Desert is compatible with all

Airless is compatible with none

Hot is compatible with all but Cold and Exotic

Radiation/Toxic is compatible with all

This may seem a little confusing but let me explain

The generation of these planets would work by choosing a base biome, for example, Hot. Another biome that's compatible, like lush, would be placed over the base biome using a pattern, like spots, striped, or geometric. Now you have a multibiome planet.

The biomes would pretty much be merging planets together with patterns

Now what if you wanted 3, or 4 biomes? Well 1/64 planets would be 3 biomes, 1/512 would be 4, 1/4096 would be 5. Finding one of these super variety planets would be insane and exciting.

You can also have 2 similar biomes in a multibiome planet, like a pink grassland lush, and a green mushroom mountain lush.

The same thing can also be done with oceans if they eventually update it and make an overall variety change

If you have an other suggestions or modification to this please comment I would like to hear it

Stuck in Expedition 4, Phase 5, Spawn Beneath Your Skin" [Bug]

Hi! So, I've been playing Expedition 4 and I have completed all Phases and Milestones except for the very last one, "Spawn Beneath Your Skin".

After having aquired the Visceral Synthesiser from the Atlas, I went to a planet with high Titan Worm activity. The pop up menue says, "Mission objectve is nearby. Activate a Target Sweep from the Analysis Visor."

However, when I take it out, all I get (and I've been walking around for like 20 minutes) is "Target Alighned - Too weak for distance estimate". In other words, no worm nests are spawning.

I've tried reloading the save, completely closing the game and restarting the PS5 and flying to different planets with Titan Worm activity on it, but nothing worked. The Target Sweep won't find anything.

Am I missing something?

Help Expedition 4 - Discarded Writhing Manuscript, cannot progress [Question]

Hello,

Yes I am an idiot - basically I was quickly discarding stuff in my inventory and had a brain fart, discarding the writing Manuscript needed for the Planetary Archive.

Seems like most systems in Euclid are already discovered? [Question]

So I've been trying to start a new save to enjoy some exploration and finally get through the Artemis story, but I've run into a problem that's forced me to restart several times, namely that it doesn't seem to matter where I start in the galaxy, I'm landing in a previously discovered system essentially every other time I jump. It might not be such a bad thing if I didn't have a strong desire to be the first to explore systems, but that is then compounded by the fact that seeing "Discovered by Dirtmuncher" really undermines my interests in continuing to explore that area of the galaxy. As a result, I've restarted about 4 times now, but invariably I'm seeing systems discovered by others constantly. Are there just no undiscovered areas left in Euclid at this point, or am I just getting incredibly unlucky with my initial placements?

Thanks

Planet bug? [Question]

Alright, I found a solar system to explore solo. I am on the final planet and looking for the last few things, but I believe the game went nuts on me. I have found all the minerals plus four. Cannot find the last few plants and the two or three missing animals are nowhere to be found. I have literally gone from north to south and cannot find the last few plants and animals, but I keep finding new minerals.

Is this a bug? Did it give me the wrong amounts for plants and animals and subtract that amount from minerals or something?

Open Letter to Hello Games. [Suggestion]

Love the game, love the tempo, the concept. Everything. But it needs to improve in story, platform and game mechanics. Here are some suggestions:

​ Don't make the expeditions separate from the main game but part of the alternative universes and iterations triggered by the Anomaly issues. That way the game can grow while remaining consistent and coherent with the narrative (kind of like What if?) The buildings and freighters in planets are the closest the game has to a dungeon. However, they are too easy and there's no grow or challenge. Make the interactions with the computers (or whatever) less random and more math base with increasing levels of complexity. Folks have spent so much time in the game that by now they could have learn to read binary. Hire a math person and make the challenges Math and logic base in increasing levels of difficulty (and increasing rewards). This is also consistent with the story as you could argue that math is the primary language of logic and therefore the core language of the anomaly and the universe. As you grow your understanding of the universe increases. Making money is too easy and/or things are not expensive enough. You reward/effort ratio is a mess. Make the freighters cost 10B instead of 200M and add Destroyers or Death Star level facilities for 1T or more. Make other alternatives for making money other than mining (see second point). The entire space battle game mechanic needs to be leveraged and overhaul. A PvP galaxy would be fun. You have a lot of doors open for story telling and exploration. What happened to the Anomaly, was it a virus? an alien race? A philosophical paradox associated with conscience and identity, lack of energy, entropy, multiple Anomalies emerging in multiple universes? ALL of the above in different universes? lots to explore not only from a visual point of view but also from a story point of view without loosing the...

I think the expeditions should be in permadeath, rather than normal difficulty. With the caveat that the milestones you unlock stay unlocked for your account, so if you die you start over from nil but don’t have to repeat all the steps you already got through.

Making a Terrible Setttlement Profitable. BY FORCE. [Screenshot]

So as I reported a while back in this post, I came across just the best worst settlement. S class, 100% happiness, with 1,000,000u per day maintenance costs. Nothing I built could get it even close to profitable, and I almost gave up on it at the suggestion of some responses to the aforementioned post. But after that I decided to have a little fun. I instead replaced their town square with an iron citadel until they got their asses in gear and gave me some proposals to increase productivity and decrease costs. Fast forward nearly a WHOLE MONTH, and I'm happy to report this backwater settlement is well on its way to being productive!

..This is in no way related to the building, I just wanted to show off my impromptu dictatorship. Second image has portal coordinates if anyone wants to come visit. :p

Fun fact: Corrupted Sentnels will spawn INSIDE the building and just freak out on the ceiling, completely ignoring you as you mow them down. I'm not stuck in here with you, you're stuck in here with ME!

Your idol is dead, I am your new god. :v

At a moment's notice, the entire building can be locked down via a panic switch inside, hence all the garage doors. Why? ...I dunno, cause I can? :p Come visit and see your yourself!...

Incompatible save [Bug]

Just spent the past few hours doing the new Expedition only to go into a space station and have the game completely go unresponsive. Once I was finally able to get the game to quit and go back in, the game says my Expedition save is an incompatible save with this version of the game, essentially locking me out of all the progress I had made.

Fuck this game, it's the last straw. While Hello Games has done an amazing job with the game since launch, I've never encountered as many game breaking and save destroying bugs in any other game before. This is now the 3rd save I've lost due to random ass game engine crashes or glitches. One of which was a 100+ hour save that I can never recover.

Best of luck, Travelers.

Unpopular oppinions that will make you want to equip scattershot. [Discussion]

Pets need some improvements: Atm, pets are kindof useless, not completely but a good lot so. When riding companions, they srnt usually any faster than the player on foot, and when riding them in sprint mode they use your life support as if you were running instead... which makes no real sense. When being attacked they only go after normal wildlife. They don't attack bio horrors and apparently sentinels- drones, dogs, etc. Most of the time the only reason you'd need help from a pet is if a bio horror or maybe hound robot is attacking you, which compares to other threats, those do a Lot more dmg to you and alot faster pace of attacks. You cant make pets attack either like a direct command or "passive to agressive" mode persay. Lastly pets do give items which in some way is nice, but from what I've seen they're unusually garbage. Kindof reminds me of cats in minecraft, getting junk items from them, though like a cst giving string or feathers I suppose there might be some benefit to getting mystery meat goop from a pet xp I feel like pets should be able to be commanded to fight, or some sort of toggle command set for em; as well as the life support resource decay removed from pet running mode, since it honestly doesn't make sense.

Building and it's limitations: as someone who's played various survival gsmes eith bade building as well as creative building related gsmes or gsmes eith those mechanics as just a part of it, non mans sky has a fun but somewhat lackluster system. Most nice builds used in nms use bugs or glitches to get specific looks, like rotated props and clipped together items for effects. I think it's be nice if we had a way to rotate props in more than one degree. Another improvement would be more detail and quo props or facility parts for making builds. Diagonal hallways going up and down to connect rooms together, so you don't have...

NMS is turning into pokemon. Better idea.... [Suggestion]

This may be an unpopular opinion but to my eye, nms is becoming pokemon.

Whoopdeedoo, we can have pets. We can hatch em all and mod them, make them bigger or more aggressive. So what?! This is a space-faring exploration game with an unlimited universe and unlimited possibilities and the designers are giving us pets (which don't really do much).

It's a waste of time in my opinion. Please don't turn nms into pokemon.

What i would like to see are more planets in nms populated with creatures between "animal" and "civilised". Perhaps tribal style or nomadic species, cave-man style sentient species that are on the way to civilisation but aren't there yet. Everything seems to be either dumb animal or space-faring and there's no in-between.

If a half way point was introduced, it'd open up a whole new type of planet, with new building types, pyramids, monoliths, denser populations of alien species with everything from little farming villages to larger towns and then on very rare planets - global civilisation with cities etc, everything from ancient style right through to more modern.

It'd introduce the possibility of added risk in exploration. Running the risk of exploring these planets and meeting groups of attacking sentient creatures who rush out with spears or clubs because you're a threat to them.

If you want "pets", why not have it where we can "civilise" these different species, offering them goods, trading with them. Have them worship us as gods! Or fear us as destroyers as we annihilate their species from the universe.

They'd be on rare undiscovered worlds but finding one could open up a lot of possibilities for a player.

Let's have this be the next chapter of NMS, not some "gotta catch em all" pokemon trading universe

No Man's Sky Discord Phishing Bots and Admins Problem [Discussion]

There's been a lot of phishing links sent by random people on the discord server of No Man's Sky.

My experience started with one user goes by the name EX-Claim, an Indian guy who wanted to "add" me to his steam friend list through a phishing link. The link was tested by several people and everyone found that it was indeed a phishing link. And deservedly so he was banned.

A day later comes by and I get messaged by a French guy claiming and trying to convince that it was not a virus link by EX Claim and kept defending him. and somehow he came up with a story and convinced the mods that he was hacked.

Few weeks goes by and this French person messages me again with another phishing link, apparently his bot was randomly going through the dms of people he spoke to hence he hit me again without knowing that I was someone who already was suspicious of him so he instantly blocks me after I responded. And once again he fed the lie of I got hacked to the Admins of the server again.

And honestly, I'm quite suspicious of the Admins MsAethena#5892User and Codevasco#2558 who clearly buying this, It angered me that I kept getting messages from bots when I just came to play this game that I recently bought. And got me banned, which I admit maybe deservedly so because I was pretty blunt with my language and wasn't really sugar coating my words. But then again, I am hostile towards anyone who defends thieves or guilty people.

This could be a far fetched theory, but they both could be on this one because this consistent defending of extremely suspicious actions is a sign of Nepotism or Cronyism.

Note: The server admins require you to address them with certain manners or they will get angry. They really think this virtual position is a true hierarchical system and amounts to a lot. Funny, mate you're just policing the internet for free that's sad.

I got stuck in a wall. [Bug]

So after three separate attempts of starting a brand new game to try and understand it over a few years, I finally really fell in love with the game. My play through has about 34 hours or so, and for some thats not a lot, but I don’t get much time to play video games so it’s been how I’ve spent a lot of my free time recently. My issue is that I’ve gotten stuck in a wall. I’m not simply stuck in this wall, but I got stuck in the wall immediately after leaving my ship. My game has saved so that I’m stuck in a wall inside of a space station. My most recent manual save was eight hours prior. For a play through of 34 hours, that’s a lot of lost progress. I’m really hoping someone has a fix of some sort. I dread the idea of reloading my manual save, even though i could do everything again, that’s just a massive pain. If anyone has any idea for how I can get out of this wall, it would be greatly appreciated!

tldr; I got stuck in a wall as the game saved and my most recent manual save was eight hours prior

Edit: For anyone that’s curious, I have already reported the bug to Hello Games.

Titan Worm Burrows [Information]

If you are having issue finding these, just hop in your ship and follow a titan worm. It doesn't say it on every phase, but phase one says to "follow" a titan. Every titan eventually leads to a burrow, usually pretty quickly. You can also kill them from your ship.

Special bonus if you don't want to fight the spawns and you've already killed 36 for the phase quest-

Approaching and shooting the ground of a burrow makes the worms spawn out of the ground, if you fly away after they appear it "clears" the burrow which completes that phase quest without ever having to actually clear out the burrow.

"Dreams of the Deep" missing next stage [Question]

So I started the Dreams of the Deep quest line, wandered off to do some other things, and ended up building a Nautilus on my home planet, and now I can't do the "Explore the depths" part where I need to look for signs of the stranger's expedition. There's no icon on my Galaxy Map, warping around or teleporting does nothing, and I can't find where to go.

Expedition 4 [Question]

When I complete the expedition 4, and I will. Do I have to transfer anything to get the rewards on my normal game. Or does it automatically transfer once I visit the anomaly on my normal game? Thanks in advance to you guys and girls.

#

After finishing expedition #4, I still have some questions [Question]

I feel like I received a lot of different items as rewards that I never needed to use: fragmented qualia, liquid sun, hexite, divergence cube, historical artifacts, terrifying samples, some weird food items, everything related to the Nautilon (upgrades, plans), kelp sac, the wormskin folios which took up so much storage space b/c they don't stack. What was the point of these things? Are they mostly in case you decide to keep playing this save after the expedition is over and now you have some stuff?

Can't get specific living ship.. [Question]

Hello. I followed the steps for getting a specific living ship. Spawned egg location far away, went through portal and to specific crash site, even have all the communication stations there. Resetting the mission, instead of using the crash site i'm at, allways, without exception choses the exact same one 4 hours away. Going there to claim the ship to prevent it from being used, it will instead chose another one yet another 4 hours away but never the specific crash site. Going into space and resetting it, it will just chose another planet. No matter what i do it absolutely refuses to get the specific crash siute...

So what do i do? I dont believe i did anything wrong.

Need advice on making a base slightly over the clouds because the game wont let me do it! [Question]

Im trying to build a base slightly over the clouds, almost inside them (Inspired by Orison from Star Citizen). I followed a tutorial from Beeblebum which only worked till I reached a certain height which sadly is under the clouds. Its weird that in his tutorial, he was really high above the clouds. Can anyone help with some links or tips?

Storage Container Inventory Layout Design [Ideas Wanted] [Question]

Hello fellow travelers!

First off, this is my first post so please be gentle. I wanted to see if anyone has some cool OCD layout designs for their storage containers! What are the best items to keep in them, how much, etc? Any photos for ideas are welcomed and appreciated!

End of Year Idea [Suggestion]

Wanted to pitch this idea, get some feedback. I recently got into the game, and I've been enjoying it a lot so far. However, my excitement at seeing expedition rewards was shattered against the rocks after finding out that I've completely missed out on most of them. I read that the current expedition ends at some point during November, and that got me thinking. Why not bring back all of the year's expeditions for a small window throughout December? Maybe for just the first week or weekend, expedition 1 is out. Then after that expedition 2 for the second week or weekend. This gives late bloomers like myself a chance to earn rewards, and allows veteran players to redo their favorite expeditions. Then once the final expedition week is gone, thats it. They're gone; this maintains the limited time status that expedition awards have but still allowing people to get rewards they missed out on. What do you all think?

New player here [Question]

I got lucky with the spawn point and im in a galaxy with 2planets full of gold silver and platin. I almost got 3million. Now my question is, is it a good idea to buy a class A multitool or will i regret it later? Dont want to farm for 2houers only to get one for free later in the game.

How do you sort your inventory? [Question]

Looking for tips and tricks to keep frequently used items accessible and easy to find. What do you carry on your ship? Do you have certain ships loaded with specific things so you can summon them to new locations to have what you need available for specific situations? Certain storage crates dedicated to certain things so you can drop a base PC, build a generator and a crate and access the supplies in it?

Exocraft inventory [Question]

Short-Range Teleporter: "Must attach to structure" [Question]

Hey guys,

I'm building a cliff-side base next to my settlement. So far things have been going well. But now I have two buildings up the side of the cliff and want to build short-range teleporters to move between them. Unfortunately, while I can build the TP's themselves (and power them) when I try to attach the teleport cable I am unable. The message says that I "Must attach to structure". I've tried building the TP's inside an old square room, outside and inside the new style base parts. Still won't work. I've also tried turning free placement on and off. Any suggestions?

Are griefers common in expedition? [Discussion]

I was doing a mission and some guy just started chasing me around and shooting me, he eventually killed me but like what’s the gain? He can’t take my stuff, it wasn’t that much of an inconvenience and he ended up leaving the planet straight after. Anyway I was wondering would I be seeing a lot of this in expedition.

Bases not loading for me [Question]

I have a VERY odd bug. I have two characters. The first has beaten the game and built a large base on a specific planet. The second (new one) has traveled to said planet and cannot see the base. I go to the exact spot and nothing is there, nor are my friends bases nearby. How do I know I have the correct planet/spot? Simple. If any other living player comes into the solar system, everything shows up.

This is fairly major in terms of bugs or whatever. I can literally set a base down on my friends bases and build. Then what happens when they login? I can do the same on my other characters plot, but that won't matter because I cannot play two at once.

I have gone as far as grabbing NMSEditor and viewing the raw json data and my other character's base is indeed in my save, but it is not showing up in-game. In fact all of my friends bases are in there, but they do not show until somebody joins me, even if it is some random player I have never grouped with before and has no bases in the system.

My multiplayer is on and group is set to friends only. How can I force the game to show me bases on planets? I can indeed upload discoveries and all, so everything is working except this. I can see this being a MAJOR problem should I setup a base on a new planet and then somebody logs in and our bases are a tangled mess. Not a good way to make a friend.

I'd like to get my group of friends to play this game! [Information]

Hi! So we're a group of friends with different tastes in games, so it's pretty hard to find one that is to everyone's tastes. Last one was Valheim, and among the games that have been suggested recently, No Man's Sky is a strong contender, so I'd like to ask a few questions to real experts. By the way, my thing is exploration / discovery, so I'm not asking out of laziness, but rather because I'd like to avoid spoilers as much as possible.

As I understand it, it's currently strictly better to start in Expedition mode rather than Normal mode, right? Expedition will allow all of us to start in the same place, we'll have a goal that will give a reward and after that we can switch that save to Normal mode anyway?

One of our friends just loves pets, animal taming, mounts, etc. Is there anything of the sort?

I read a few things about griefing, apparently we can uncheck PVP / base edit by others and that's enough to be fully protected from griefing? Or are there other aspects we should keep in mind as well if we want a mostly peaceful experience?

I get the general vibe, exploration-oriented, but would you say the game can still be rewarding? Is there a metroidvania-lite aspect to it, where you unlock new tools / technologies that allow to explore new places? Or is it mostly a very open universe right off the bat?

A player won't be able to play as much as the others. Will they have a hard time catching up? Like "Ah sorry, we're currently farming a toxic biome, you're gonna need a special breather, you'll have to farm X, Y and Z before joining us!" ?

Thanks in advance for your input!

Insane weirdness in space [Question]

I’m bad at screenshots so there isn’t one but I keep warping into systems with massive “objects of interest” like revolving gas strand bubbles and some kind of giant, massive comm tower. I can’t remember them all. I have no idea what to do with them. Doesn’t seem to be any way to land. What the hell are they?

Expedition 4 Cooper [Question]

Hello, guys.

How did you get cooper or chromatic metal on expedition 4, since you don't have terrain manipulator early?

I'm dumb [Question]

Ok so basically I've been grinding out the expedition missions and I'm on milestone 3 "They pushed too far" mission and I may or may not have sold the Emergency Broadcast Receiver before I realized I needed it😅. Any idea on how I can get my hands on another one?

Ship Swap [Suggestion]

So, if you didn't know, in the Anomaly, you are able to go into your quick menu and swap the docked ship to a different one, which is absolutely bloody brilliant, but why can't you do that any time your ship is docked, say like, in space stations? Lets say you see a really cool ship you want, but don't have the money, you can swap to a lesser used ship, and do a trade in, where you do have money.

Also as a little side question, why haven't they added at least colour customization, for ships and multitools? I get not doing model swaps and whatnot, but colours are just a new coat of paint.

Expedition 3 issues. [Question]

I'm on expedition 3, or so I thought, and the galaxy map wants to send me to the system for Expedition 4. I got to rendezvous 3 and inadvertently got enough nanites to complete the last part of E3 but whenever I click on the worm hunt for E3 it sent me to te system for E 4. I did the worm hunt there and got the rewards but it still wants to send me to the E4 system to do the E3 worm hunt. Anyone know what the hell is going on? By the way, it sends me to the E4 system whenever I try to do ANY of the E3 missions! WTF?!? Getting really frustrated here.

I finally got a ps5 after months of trying- and I gotta say: of all the games that come with a PS4 to ps5 upgrade, this one has impressed me the most! Here’s some reasons why: [Information]

Granted I’ve only had the ps5 about a week, and I have only converted about 6 games from os4 to ps5 versions- but this one is night and day better than the rest so far! Yes they all look amazing, of course!- but the differences on No Mans Sky are so much more immersive and impressive than I anticipated. The load in takes about ten seconds, and there are no more 2 min warps or teleports- 9 seconds tops. When you land on a planet, the bases render on the ground and not above it, almost instantly. You can almost always land now anywhere too lol. The fps and joystick movements are so crisp, it feels like I’m on a pc. The game was already a masterpiece for me personally on a PS4 pro- I just had to say how much more the ps5 took it up a few major notches. -I know this is obvious and old news to most people, but as someone who finally got a ps5, just holy crap! I’m playing nms more than my all of my new ps5 games lol! I’m already done with expedition 4 and riding my sand worm like I’m the chosen one on Dune lol! It’s so amazing and I have no one else to share it with, so I thought I’d put it here! -so thank you for reading my rant. Have a wonderful day and keep exploring!

New Player: Are there actual player careers in this game similar to EVE and Elite? [Question]

I saw the sale on Steam and I'm really interested in playing NMS. Since it's a sandbox game, I'm interested in the different play styles one could have fun with.

In addition to the post title question, I'm interested in crafting, engineering, etc. Is it possible to craft parts and items and sell them to actual players? The information out there is a little vague when it comes to the recipient of sales (i.e. selling to players or NPCs).

Question about Portal travel [Question]

Hey travelers. So I remember a year ago I could travel through a portal to a world that I wish to live in do something (that I can't remember) to enable me to re visit that place and make a base there. I can't remember for the life of me how to do it again and I'm coming to you smart people for answers. I remember it. Eing super simple and a common way to find worlds to make base on the nms coordinate exchange sub Reddit.

Any non-space MMOs with similar vibes to No Mans Sky? [Question]

Hey all,

Got into playing NMS this year and absolutely love it. I'm looking for a game that's similar but non-space for when I want a change up from Sci-Fi. Something like Skyrim, GW2, or WoW, but with a focus on exploration, storylines, cool creatures/beautiful worlds. One of the reasons I like NMS so much is it's not as combat focused if you don't want it to be. Like I enjoy running around new places not killing dragons for questlines and having a choice of if I want to space battle/sentinel battle. The storylines revolve mostly around travelling/crafting/solving puzzles and it's awesome. Base building and creature taming are cool too and I enjoy the character customization. Not that I don't like a good glowing sword or sick gun, but I wish there were more MMOs like it and was wondering if anyone had suggestions?

Also, I know there's lots of amazing single player games out there that are similar, but I like the "mmo" style of nms because although I don't always have to interact with other players, it's nice to know there's other people in the same world as me and I can meet up and adventure if I'd like to.

Thanks!

Min maxing settlement? [Question]

Hello interlopers. First time with settlements and just got my first a couple minutes ago. What do I need to do to go about making my settlement the best I can?

What do I focus on to have a happy community? Thank you!!!

Any way to access expedition rewards if I hate the expedition gamemode? [Question]

I genuinely do not enjoy rogue-like games or the expedition gamemode in general. I've been playing on one save for nearly 400 hours and I'm really proud of what I've achieved, but it seems like a lot of the new and interesting items are time-gated behind events that I have no interest in doing. I don't want to have to start fresh every couple weeks when I could continue working on my main save.

Is there any way players who don't enjoy the expeditions can somehow get the items from these events? I only did the first expedition and that was far more than enough of that for me. Is there ever going to be a way I can, for example, pay with quicksilver to get these items? I don't want to have to struggle through a game mode I hate every few weeks just to get access to cool items that would otherwise permanently be unavailable. My playtime has dropped since these events started purely because I know I'm missing out on tons of stuff I want but will never be able to get.

Bug preventing all quest progress [Question]

So I'm at the part really early where you have to speak to nada and polo to progress, but when I do the only option remaining in the conversation is "leave." Is there any way I can fix this, or am I screwed and have to restart? I even looked into using a save editor to get rid of the bug, but it doesn't let me tweak quest progress at all.

How to spawn a settlement? [Question]

Seriously, how in the actual fuck, I must be in over two hours now using the map to spawn one in a specific planet and it just won’t do it, it always spawns in a nearby fucking frozen planet instead of the paradise planet I am stepping on, I am actually going insane with this shit, how do I get it to spawn?

Auto sort inventory? [Question]

I've proven before that 2 years of playing isn't enough to learn all controller functions. Is there a way to auto sort inventory so it combines stacks of the same item, arranges stacks next to the same type of item, moves all your empty slots to appear together, etc? If 7 Days to Die can do it I'd hope this game could too

Length of the Expedition? [Question]

Hi everyone So i've got a quick question, how long does the running expedition take to complete? Never played an old expedition so i don't have an idea. I've been wanting to come back to NMS since i quit a few months ago and i'm playing with a friend that is starting from scratch, and we would like to do the expedition first before starting a new game. Thanks for any answers!
