Haunted remains [Question]

Just found haunted remains on a derelict. It says it'll curse me if I don't sell. What did that mean.

PSA: Geks Can Wear the Gek Helmets (Steam Only) [Information]

I see a lot of people complain about not being able to wear the gek helmets on gek, but it's actually very easy to do so if you play on the steam version.

With the Goatfungus save editor, find "edit raw json" after you've picked your save. Find the "Outfits" header (was on line 376405 for me) and find the following json data to change your helmet:

"DescriptorGroups":[

"^GEK_BASE",

"^TORSO_VYK",

"^BOOTS_VYK",

"^HEAD_G_GEKHELM",

"^GLOVES_VYK",

"^LEGS_VYK",

"^BACKPACK_EXPD1",

"^ARMOUR_VYK"

The "HEAD" line can be changed to anything on any character. You can mix and match any piece of your outfit while ignoring the default limitations on who can wear what. In my json example, "G_GEKHELM" is being used on my gek character to wear the helmet. There are also mods that do the same thing, but they will inevitably be updated less than Goatfungus' save editor. Lastly, Goatfungus is working on a PS5 compatible version of the save editor, so eventually this possibility will be expanded to console users.

Supply Depot/Electrical question [Question]

Does anybody know if there’s a way to have a full supply depot trigger a light switch? I’m nearly finished an S Class activated indium farm and I’d like to have full supply depots turn on green lights (and maybe non-full depots turn on red lights). Thanks for any help

Is okay to wait for the guppy at the trade port without reloading? [Question]

I am pretty new to NMS still I wanted to get the Blue/gold Guppy I went through the portal and to the planet was recommended at the trade. I noticed a lot players who reload after certain amount of minutes and some just wait a few hours.

Does it matter to wait or reloading can shorten the wait of a exotic ship?

My experiance with Permadeath (I did it) [Discussion]

It took me about 3-4 hours to complete but I feel I got to lucky in the process with how it all went.

My spawn planet was snow with Dioxite and copper, its moon was a paradise which became my main base. The second planet had Uranium and plants that had carbon and oxygen.

I spend a few hours building up supplies for the long journey when.....

Near my base I found a portal and a travaler all in my starting system..got the first glyf and after getting the warp drive upgrades from the anomaly I jumped through and ended up only 6000 ly away from the center. 7-8 jumps later and I was done.

I feel I cheated myself though..the game gave me everything right at the start and made my few hours of farming worthless.

Now I want to play the game normally but can't decide on Normal mode or Survival :(

How was other people experiance with permadeath ?

Frigate (Visited) [Suggestion]

A nice feature when it comes to speaking with lifeforms is the (Visited) feature. This way you know who you've spoken to. Can we please have the same feature when shopping around for frigates? It's gets so disorienting that you're never sure if you've seen one yet or not.

Updated No Man's Sky cleanHUD mod. Enhanced immersion, QoL, VR improvements, fully customizable, new features [Information]

Some people know it as the 'roomscale mod', from its roots as a way to make limited roomscale play a possibility in NMS with VR.

Some people know it as the 'cleanHUD' immersion mod.

more!

... (patch notes presentation) It's back, updated in full, and expanded with some new features and an even more customizable modular version!!

Download the mod under the 'files' tab here: https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/1563

  • Modular documentation, here.

  • The different components of "The Traveller" are also now available in the modular version.

Or if you want the ultra hardcore version, called "The Traveller", pre-packaged: https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/1929

_____________________________________________ New feature highlight: True Nights & Toggleable Headlights.

  • True Nights are just that... truly dark. Really feel like you're out in the wilderness. Your flashlight will be necessary. Ship headlights necessary when flying (newly added by this mod!).

Artemis Ship Lost and Found [Question]

Hey, so I located Artemis' ship and had some parts to repair it, but I had to make a trip to the station for some parts, so I tagged it so I could see it, and then left to the station. I then had to get off, and when I got back on, the tag for the ship disappeared. Does anyone know how to locate the ship? (it doesn't have launch thrusters fixed so no calling it from the quick menu).

Stuck on the 'spawn beneath your skin' expedition mission. [Question]

So I'm on my last mission of the expedition, where you have to collect 3 vile spawn with the visceral synthesiser.

I can't find any worm burrows. Whenever I'm on a worm planet, the analysis visor/target sweep just keeps saying "too weak for distance estimate.

I've been to every rendevoux planet (I'm currently on the fourth one) and no matter where I go, it can't point me to a burrow.

Anyone else have this problem? Any solutions?

Last question from me today. [Question]

I charged up the Hyperdrive (as the Awakening storyline requested) and then went to another system for the first time. Then I landed on the coordinated planet and found the black thing to get extra hyperdrive fuel. I flew up to space but couldn’t really get back to my home system, because the galactical map didn’t let me go there. I went to the third system, and I was told to get aboard the spaceship. But it didn’t really tell me which spaceship and I travelled through the second system and the third one back and forth not knowing what to do. I went to my home system through a Terminus portal and I think I fucked up the Awakening quest.

Collect Vile Spawn - Problem [Question]

Hi Everyone

I'm trying to complete the latest expedition. I have completed everything except the last challenge on Phase 5 - Collect the Vile Spawn. Unfortunately, I'm finding it impossible to locate the Hungering Tendrils at the worm burrowing sites. I've tried the last Rendezvous Planet (Fetonbu Tau in the Zunaka system) and back to the first Rendezvous Planet (Wasan in the Elusuu System). Both should work. When I use the location scanner, I just get "To Weak for Distance Estimate" and no matter how far I travel toward it, the message remains the same....

Does anyone know of a work-around?

Thx in Advance

First "playthrough" done, review and questions. [Question]

I'm so thankful for this game, I fell in love with subnautica and loved that game but it lacked some sort of "end game" after finishing the "below zero" follow up, I was disappointed and found NMS by accident.

After playing though the main story and getting to the second galaxy I feel a bit lost.

What's next?

But first let's leave some appreciation for this game.

The main story fit me perfectly, The story felt very scattered yet so obviously connected, hidden in plain sight and I picked up on a lot of the clues but some parts felt freaky and exciting.

I have a lot of things left to see, understand, gather and explore and I would like some guidance.

Q1: can players steal from you?

I've seen a few players out in the wild and always moved far away, afraid of being stranded and/or killed.

Q2: how do I leave a message to another player?

During the weekend mission from the nexus I realized how little I know about base building, I saw a build someone chose to call "floating weekend base" and my mind was blown, I took my time walking though it, investigating this master builders eye for details and creativity and I really wanted to somehow leave him a message but I don't know how or what the culture is.

Q3: I've read that a lot of the community has gathered in galaxy 10, should I go there? Should I just rush there? Is there cool stuff there?

I've read about past happenings, community events, rave parties etc. I feel that it would be fun to meet and see others creations.

Q4: Money, what is it good for?

I've made my fair share and what feel is enough for a lifetime, yet people seem to need more of it with farms giving over a billion, a day and I don't know why anyone would need that amount.

Q5: Modules, are there better ones than the S class from space stations?

I assume there are blackmarlet ones who are light-years...

Building problem... [Question]

OK, so I have hit a problem that made me quit last night. In addition to not being able to snap normal cuboid pieces down or snap ANYTHING below a landing pad, I have an issue where when I place a wall below another wall on my mining outpost, the wall above changes to something ugly which doesn't align with any other wall. How do I stop this? Let ME choose the wall model, not some broken algorithm. The wall chosen is one I cannot select manually and nothing I do changes it back.

QoL to Inventory Management: Have A Way To Quickly Consolidate "Same Type" Resources In Inventory/Storage Containers. [Suggestion]

There should be a button that can quickly consolidate the same type of resource between 2 storage systems. For example, when you open your inventory for a Storage Container, if there were a way to highlight duplicated items and then a button (like Square on PS5) which could consolidate all of those like items into the Storage Container or vice versa. I know you can Quick Transfer but there's no identification to what is duplicated and can be stacked.

This speeds up monotony with farming quite a bit but also adds needed information on the UI to quickly identify the same material. There should also be a "sort" system in place to better organize material in the storage containers.

Lastly, a computer station could be hooked up to all your storage units which allow a single screen access to all of your inventory at once. The station would hook up via the wiring modules. If two storage units are connected side by side, this works as well. When we access this station, it would pull up an interface where we can quickly switch between storage units without running from 1 to the other. Making inventory management MUCH smoother.

Best non portal method for Experimental/Alien MTs? [Question]

Trying to hunt down an exerimental/alien MT preferably S rank. Have been using 2 methods so far, unsure which is best or if there is a better one?

1st method is; - Go to a wealthy Vy'keen system - Check MT case on the station - Land on a planet, save reload. - Check MT case on the station - Rinse repeat till find Experimental/Alien

2nd method - Go to a wealthy Vy'keen system - Find a A/S rank case at a minor settlement. - Check to see if its a high end spawn with either 10, 16, 23 or 24 slots - Drop save becon to bookmark case - Land on a new planet, save reload. - Check MT case at the settlement - Rinse repeat till find Experimental/Alien

Which is best or is there another way without using portals?

The impossible to find last underground or underwater creature bug remains [Bug]

I searched this forum and other online spaces and tried every tip I could found - scanning every scan-able thing in the planet, going for open caves near buildings, reaching +100 deep in oceans, digging rock bottom on caves, reloading under specific conditions, trying during storms, roaming north and south both at night and day although the game doesn't tell the missing creatures have this particular pattern...

Specially in the beginning of the game where you don't have a faster way to gather nanites, it's even worse since they upped the reward for finding all creatures. Missing 2500, 3000 nanites because of 1 or 2 creatures that won't spawn in any way it's very frustrating. To make it all more tense there's that strange bug where a red dot spawn but it's 1500 to 2000 units away and the more you go towards it the faster it goes even further and disappears. Playing permadeath takes all those negatives further, and if you don't want to use the same old cheese tactics, you'll just lose the time already spent on the first scans and whatever time you need to give up and go to the next planet.

Many things have been fixed regarding creature finding, but being a game so focused on exploration with scanning creatures being an important and central feature, I think we should get some more bug crushing love on this one

Expedition 4 was great, except for all the low value clutter [Discussion]

I really enjoyed Expedition 4, and it certainly threw some nice stuff at you. But for every storage augmentation I was rewarded with, it seems I got two or three low-value clutter items with no purpose, or lower-value McGuffin items that were left hanging around after their purpose was served. Fragmented qualia, liquid sun, the worm folios, divergence cube, and on and on and on.

And because it's an expedition, you never know what's going to be needed in the next phase so you are just carrying around all this junk that is clogging your inventory slots. When I was offered the free freighter during the first freighter battle, I took it just so I could have someplace to put it all until I reached the end. Best. Decision. Ever.

Settlement decisions need a meaningful revamp [Discussion]

I don't know if its in the works or not, but being a bit of a nerd I noticed that this "decision" doesn't make any sense:

52% disagree and 53% agree? I mean, without being mathematically wrong it could have just said the citizens are split down the middle.

This example is nitpicking of course but its kind of a microcosm of how decisions in settlements work in general. I've gone through two settlements now and I'm seeing a trend, whether it's being asked to judge two individuals who; through hilariously opaque descriptions, might have done something wrong and then draconically punish them, or be faced with decisions like this that not only don't make any sense they just seem kind of lazy.

Not asking for a whole settlement campaign (which would be cool) but to just make these decisions less silly or half baked.

Is it finally possible to skip NPC dialog? [Question]

I love No Mans Sky but this is the one thing that makes me slowly drop the game every time I try to pick it up again: The fact that it is so tedious to talk to NPC's. Other games that don't have repeating dialogue let you skip text, but No Mans Sky which is ~80% repeating dialogue didn't for some reason. I know this comes up every so often but the last time this was asked was in 2019. If it has been implemented then NMS is a god-tier game, please let it be so.

P.S. Have they expanded that one menu option that converts "Hold E/left/right click" prompt to just tapping them, to actually cover all of those prompts? Because it used to be hit or miss.

Multiplayer with my lads? [Question]

Hello there folks! I have been considering of starting playing no man's sky with some of my discord server's members and I got a few questions in that regard.

Coming from a roleplay surrounding, we were thinking of having this one team of scientists that would spend their time playing the game but also doing roleplay (by writing on discord) in regards of speculative evolution.. like us trying to figure out what species are related with one another and such. Of course we will expand on this roleplay but since I dont know the game too well I dont know how much we can do but having the exploration aspect of it is already pretty exciting.

So now to my questions:

1- Can we have a safe run 24/7 that doesnt require any of us to host the game? We want to make it a casual experience where we dont have to meet up every week in order to play.

2- What is there to explore other than planet?

3- Can PVP in a roleplaysetting be a thing? Is PVP fun and exciting or is it better left out?

4- What objectives can you pursue other than surviving and improving your base/gear?

5- Can we have both, a universe with other people/just with us?

Thanks in advance!

Movement Bug Causes Blown-Out Sound Effects [Bug]

So for the past few months I've known of a bug that uses the scanner to make you move faster. Initially I found and employed it on derelicts, as it massively ups your movement speed from the slow crawl you usually have.

Before I continue note I'm on PC and am playing in first-person with a Dual Shock 4, if anyone has issues replicating this.

To enact the glitch you hold weapon bash and tap scanner. This seems to stack momentum from the weapon bash animation and keeps you speeding along. It's also extremely harsh on the eyeballs due to the blue tint of the scanner constantly flickering and you shouldn't attempt it if you or someone in the room has any photosensitivity issues.

On derelicts the glitch has the effect of making you move many times faster than you normally do, like it's immediately noticeable and you just zoom across rooms. On normal gravity planets the effect is much less pronounced, but I've realized it can still be utilized to gain large amounts of speed with the right rhythm and look angles, allowing you to cover large distances without spending any extra oxygen like you do with sprinting. Since expeditions are much smaller scale I've been using this glitch a lot to cover large distances since exocraft are usually unavailable.

I've also recently found out if instead of weapon bash you hold the jetpack button you'll gain height seemingly quicker (I have not tested this at length to know if it's for sure higher for less drain, but unless I'm confirmation bias-ing really hard I'm pretty sure it is).

Now that's all well and good, but I'd probably keep this all to myself normally, in fear that it would get patched out like when air bashing was a thing a few expeditions ago. Issue is that I've realized that what's happening overall is that opening the scanner seems to stack various effects that are happening, which also includes sounds effects.

Do you need PS+ to upload bases? (And if not - this Expedition might be the perfect time to prep multiple architect saves) [Question]

First part, the question - if you don't have PS+, can your bases be seen by other players?

Next, the reason for the question - the current Expedition provides all 16 glyphs early on. If you, like me, build in a specific area of space but your main save is running out of complexity memory, that makes this the perfect time to create 14 extra saves on the Expedition, progress until you unlock the glyphs, then stop. Should be way quicker than going through it in Normal.

Can Someone ELI5 what base extension is and how does it work? [Question]

I am very new to this game, around 20-25 hours in and I watched a youtube video about building a stasis farm and I wanted to try my hand at it. I couldn't grasp the extension part and how it should be done.

Another question if I may, do hotspots have a 100% chance of being within 1000u vicinity of my base computer?

If yes, then will I find every mineral hotspot that is possible on the planet ( I'm told there can be 3 minerals and two gases) within this area or do I have to set up multiple bases on the same planet to cover all sources?

Mrrgrrgrr... Got hosed on my main file sandworm companion... [Question]

So the sandworm I hatched on my expedition file was this nashy bugger with three jaws constantly snapping. Super epic, reminded me of Beetlejuice sandworm, and it had the cool flapping spikes like the ones in the expedition. Got on my main file, redeemed the egg, went to a planet and hatched it, and it's a crappy OG sandworm with the circle mouth. No moving parts at all, just bumps on its body.

Can you only get the cool moving ones on your expedition file and you just get a ghetto one whenever you redeem? Is it random and I just got unlucky? I'm super upset. I want the amazing one I got on my main file... And you can only redeem it once per file... And the gene randomize thing never works properly, so I doubt even overdosing that would work.

Base Music [Question]

So I recently took the time to build a fancy base just outside my settlement, so I can look down upon my citizens like the judgmental super-villain I am. But upon actually entering my base, I've noticed that the game has made it blast the obnoxious "Bar" music typically found at the settlement bar. I haven't even researched any base music items. And the music makes my scenic overlook feel like a trashy strip joint.

I haven't built a base for a while. This is the first one I've made since the Settlement addition. Is this just what the game does now? Because I can't find any option to not do this, nor anyway to silence it. Basically, any time the game registers me as "inside" the base, the musical torment begins.

No mans sky Permadeath without core mechanics; first posted run- No Refining. [Stupid permadeath run]

In no man's sky there is a mechanic known as Refining, it is introduced right off the bat as a way to get some items and as a useful tool. Especially when upgrading to a medium or large refiner, you can have a large amount of utility from them.

So in my goal to remove core mechanics, let's get rid of refining.

In this post I'll go over a few of the issues and those are the only real issues that refinerless causes, as a lot of issues after that are the same materials so the same solution can be used.

The rules of my runs:

★ Multiplayer is Off at all times to prevent just winning for free.

★ No quicksilver or Expedition items are allowed.

★ If it is possible in any way, I must fix the starter ship. It needs love and I should be following the main storyline, not buying a new one.

The unique rules for this run:

★ If I build/install a refiner, I restart the run.

★ If I interact with a refiner, I restart the run.

The run:

★ Problem 1- Starter ship.

The starter ship requires 50 Pure ferrite and is intended as an introduction to refining, Instead it will introduce us to how we exploit the game.

There were 2 possible ways to do this,

1- Purchase Pure ferrite.

2- Create an advanced mining beam and mine it (by buying the recipe).

I picked the route of purchasing because I could, and spent 1 hour walking and eventually found somewhere to purchase from. The benefit of these methods is that you have a lot of ground time to find random stuff and get a large amount of money early game. Personally, I punched open a few manufacturing facilities to get Atlas pass v1 for warp cell farming, and also punched 10 sentinels to death out of boredom.

Small note for Pure ferrite: Before you get your ship you can't get geodes so that isn't a solution here.

When I got back to my freighter, I thought the expeditions would be finished by now, but in fact their duration has increased to another 4 hours, and the new expeditions available to do last for more than a day.

How important are ship stats in the end? [Question]

I found an Exotic with a look I love. But when I took a look at the stats against the wiki page, it seems to be on the bottom for Damage and Hyperdrive bonuses, and towards the bottom on maneuverability. My understanding is that the bonuses are multiplicative, so that ~10-15% higher bonus I could get will multiply through any upgrades I add and so would be moderately impactful. That said, I haven't really had any issues with combat even with an Explorer.

So I guess the question is if it's worth trying to "farm" this system to get the same style with better stats before I start upgrading the storage.

My question is how much do they vary? the wiki says 450-650, do they really vary by that much? If so will the class c stats let you know what the s class stats will be or is it a mystery? I hope they don't have that big of a spread

It's time for Companions to get an update [Suggestion]

Really hope that Sean/the dev team see this.

I love the idea of Companions, but they desperately need a TLC pass to be better. Here are a few ideas that hopefully would be kind of easy to implement: MORE SLOTS - when you include the recent Twitch drops and the last 2 Expeditions, we've been given more Companions than we have slots for, and that doesn't even allow for any that we may have "found" during exploration. We really need more slots - at least 12, if not maybe 24? AUTO SUMMON - I can't tell you how many times I've been playing for an hour or two before I remember "Oh yeah, I got a cool pet the other day" and go summon it. I should be able to set a default/primary pet (and change it easily) that automatically pops out whenever I'm in a situation that supports it. FUNCTIONAL GEAR - Many of the attachments or whatever look really cool, and their names/descriptions suggest that they could be really handy. Unfortunately, they're completely non-functional, which is a complete waste. BUILDABLE ENCLOSURES - It would be awesome if there was a new building part(s) that allowed me to build various enclosures for my pets. Functionally this would be similar to the existing specialist stations. I'd love to be able to have a zoo or menagerie on either a planetary base or my freighter. I could stock these up with pellets maybe for an auto-feed, and they could also serve as a breeding chamber. BONUS #1 - even better if there were different variants of this for the different types of pets BONUS #2 - would be handy if I could also unlock and construct an egg sequencer on my base SIMPLE GAMES - can I please, for the love of Atlas, just play fetch with my Diplo?

Restarting missions [Bug]

I ballsed up a mission from my armourer - had to go and destroy a sentinel depo.... so I flew over there and destroyed it with my ship, blew up all the containers, sentinels and walkers.... but its still not complete.

So I checked out my log and found I had to use multi tool weapons!!

So how do I restart it? Nothing obvious in the log, left the system, came back, talked to the armourer, tried using the signal booster to find another depo but all I find are trading stations.

Suggestions [Suggestion]

I have a couple suggestions for HG

Sorry if any formatting issues annoy you I'm on mobile. Race based dialogue

Don't you think it's weird for a Vykeen to refer to another Vykeen as an interloper? Or a Korvax calling another Korvax a lifeform? Dialogue should change depending on your race. More dialogue options

Adding onto dialogue it would be cool if you could talk to NPCs further rather than only being able to learn words, practice words and gift things, if you could ask for help or talk further would be sweet. Settlers, Frigate/Freighter crew

It would be awesome if you could have NPC settlers wandering your base although more importantly freighter and frigates feel like ghost ships, there's no one but the people on the bridge or the specialists you add, it would be cool if freighter crew could wander about and crew based building options to be available like sleeping quarters or a mess hall. More "places"

Isn't it weird there's no cities, yes you can argue they were destroyed by sentinels but even empty or abandoned cities you can take over and renovate would be cool, it'd also be nice to see NPC-ran settlements (not like the player-ran settlents). Or larger sentinel factories where you can see the Drones and walkers being produced and possibly pirate or bandit bases which you can attack and turn into your own outpost or earn from it. More intractable frigates

I think it would be really cool if you could have a personal frigate or atleast allow frigates to be less boring, being able to go to the frigates bridge and talk to the crew would be sweet or being able to modify your frigates. Special worlds

We hear things about Korvax Prime yet we can't visit those places? Honestly being able to see highly habited worlds would be really sweet.

Would love to see another Desolation like update [Discussion]

Derelict freighters are so cool! I had a blast doing it on Expedition 4. The movement change, the camera angle, so much potential in there. Imagine a more refined combat in that style, with dungeons on planets and more variations on enemies and the procedure generation. Maybe some puzzles too.

As it is it would be nice to have more reasons to do these missions. If I'm not wrong, there aren't guild or anomaly missions associated to derelict freighters... such a waste!

PvP Space Battle Tournament [Suggestion]

How about we hold a community PvP space battle tournament?

We could have 1 vs 1 or 2 vs 2 ladders.

Battles would be class based both with ship class (S, A, B, C) and with ship type (exotic, hauler, shuttle, explorer, living ship etc.)

Maybe segment tournaments to platforms? PC, PS, Xbox

Competing players could record the battles and submit the recordings to the tournament "panel" as well as a neutral "panel member" recording from a distance. That way the battles could be edited and played back for everybody's enjoyment.

Rewards could be in the form of in game resources (20 stacks of Activated Indium? Cool ships?) or some real life stuff. And of course bragging rights and being part of history.

I for one volunteer my time and effort to make it happen.

What do you think about this idea?

Has there been a recent change in capital freighter appearance? [Question]

I’ve started three new save games recently; at first, to test something for another person, then just continued for a bit.

At 5th jump + 3 hours, a freighter shows up. System freighter, nothing fancy, I take payment as I want the ‘capital’ type later one. At 10 jumps + >6 hours: nothing. I do get the call for help which initiates the settlement quest. Jumped round a bit, trying to nail it down (the marker kept hopping between two systems), but it finally settled on one and found it.

Tried a few more jumps, but to no avail. Quit that save.

Wondering if I had a bugged setup, started another save, again from scratch. Same experience. That one I took to 9 hours of in game time and over 20 jumps: still, zero freighter combat, either right from arrival or a separate call.

Tried a third time. Now at 6h 29m and same.

I’m a bit stunned, as these events used to come up like clockwork: +5 jumps, +3 hours.

Anyone else seen this happen?

Have you ever notice sparks around your character that has a purple hue that moves around you. Ever wonder what that is? [Bug]

It's from random people mining from their vehicles.

Not sure if this is on all systems but it does affect us Steam PC players.

It doesn't matter where you are or where they are, nor do you have to be in the same party, as long you're both in the same system. You can be on one planet and someone using the vehicles mining weapon is on another planet you may see their vehicles mining weapons purple beam. Even if you're on the space station or in you starship or freighter and someone uses their vehicles mining weapon you may see the sparks with a purple hue.

Also if you are flagged PVP, that beam can hurt and even kill you. I've been hit many times and almost died once because of it. I've turned PVP off for everyone now, ever since that happened.

It seems to do this in all modes of gameplay and even the expeditions.

You can test this by partying up with someone and each of you use the vehicles mining weapon. It doesn't always do it but it seems to be most of the time.

My wife, son and daughter found this out and thought it was just our own stuff glitching and then thought it was just us since we we're all in the same party. We then tested it many times and found out it was also from other players not in our party.

Its been doing this for a really long time and it has still yet to get fixed. It is very annoying as I play in 1st person and that beam gets in my face many times.

Expedition 4 - Emergence Tips (Spoiler Free!) [Information]

Having finished the latest expedition twice now (on PS5 and PC), I thought I would jot down some non-spoilery tips for people who have yet to take the plunge. None of these are essential, but they could save you time and frustration. Spend some time on the starting planet collecting storm crystals for cash. Also pick up any ancient bones you come across; if you're dedicated, you can knock out one of the later milestones. At the least though you can put a dent in it (and get some more starting cash). The starting system is wealthy so it's relatively easy to get an A-class (or even S-class) ship. A 19-slot S-class explorer will run you just under 2M, an A-class is even cheaper. With some S-class hyperdrive upgrades purchased from the ship tech vendor, either will allow you to warp to any rendezvous point (from the previous one) in one jump. Bonus: you won't have to install the hyperdrive and will probably get launch thruster upgrades. Also, the starting system's space station multitool box has a nice B-class alien rifle if you don't like your starting MT. Simply reload on the station with multiplayer OFF to get it to appear if you don't see it (it's around 2M units). Save three hadal cores and four larval cores (from whispering eggs). You can safely sell/refine any extras. Any of the various organic "prizes" you get from the milestones can be sold for cash. The fleshy ropes you get from wiping out worm dens can also be safely sold. Don't let them clog up your inventory! Note: fleshy ropes tend to sell better on space stations than planetside. I leave it up to you if you want to sell the story items, they're not used for anything but they are unique. Make use of the generosity of your fellow travelers. Even with multiplayer off, you can still find and visit bases. Use the space station teleporter to find bases that help you gather larval cores or locate a planetary...

Expedition 4 Warning: Watch Out For Biological Horrors at Rendezvous Points [Information]

I've learned my lesson in the last couple of Expeditions, I turned off my PvP as soon as I could. I got to my first rendezvous point and got killed. The rendezvous points are at abandoned buildings with whispering eggs. Players are shooting the eggs and the biological horrors kill anyone standing around.

I got killed while collecting my expedition reward, a couple of hits and I was dead before I had a chance to fly away. I'm not positive a player did this on purpose but it's not a big stretch to think that some people will bypass PvP using this method.

Ownership keeps changing, not happy [Discussion]

OK, getting frustrated here. Started playing alone. I started in a system where I made the discovery and I was the first on all planets. I began scanning and uploading everything I came across. The system was discovered by me and the planets were too, as well as most of the items on said planets.

A friend bought the game for himself and another friend of ours and they joined me. They scanned and did not upload. They did not know until I explained that you need to upload the discoveries to earn nanites. Suddenly the system was discovered by one of my friends and the planet I had a base on before they ever owned the game was discovered by her also. Then other things (fauna, flora, minerals) began flipping to being discovered by one or the other. Things I had scanned and uploaded WAY before they owned the game.

I chalked it up to a bug and found an undiscovered system. Found everything on two of three planets, and suddenly it changes to some person I do not know nor have ever seen discovering the system. I quit playing for two weeks.

Came back last week, found a system undiscovered, went in, nothing was discovered, immediately landed on every planet, scanned everything in the area, and uploaded. The system, all six planets, and all discoveries were mine Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Today I come home and a planet is suddenly discovered by a freaking X-Box player? I am on Steam! On top of that, it now claims that this player found the system, not me. 221hrs in and VERY pissed right now. Oh, and the system we started in is now discovered by a Playstation player we never heard of (name sounds German).

Is this really the best right now? I put up with the bugs and enjoy things, but I have now wasted over 200hrs trying to do a system by myself because of hacks, a MAJOR bug, or something else. I play games for long periods if I have time. I run two businesses (third is in...

Reached the 5th rendezvous, talk to the Atlas for the tech; install it, go back to the infested planet.

Worms are soaring overhead, but not a single nest shows up on the scanner. After 20 minutes and stopping to scan at 11 different parts of the planet, I'm done for the day.

Is there a good tutorial system? I'm seeing you can build bases, have freighters, hatch things, have companions, etc. and am hoping i won't be digging through guides and wikis.

Does anyone know if X class mod adjacency bonuses mix with S class properly? Are they incompatible with each other when mixed together? [Question]

Hey all, as the title suggests, I'm trying to figure out if X class and S class adjacency bonus mix together. The reason I ask is because when I tried to mix an X class starship upgrade 37% with two other S class shield upgrades it actually seemed to lower my shields from 390, down to 352. A pretty substantial decrease, when ironically the values were supposed to increase.

Not sure if it's a bug or what not. Figured I'd ask on here, as others may have played for much longer than I, and can offer some valuable insight. I always expected that they SHOULD mix together without any problem. Now I'm just plain confused. Lol

If the logic is that I need to have matching sets "SSS" and "XXX" in order to yield any positive benefits from adjacency bonuses , (and not allowed to mix "SXS" for example) then I'm starting to wonder if it's worth even bothering, since it's hard enough to get 1 single X class upgrade that surpasses S upgrades, not even taking into account being forced to get 3 to make a matching set of "XXX".

Has anyone out there done any extensive testing in this regard? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I'm Playing "Scavenger Mode" in Permadeath - No Money-Making or Spending Allowed. [Discussion]

After hundreds of hours in Normal and Survival modes doing the usual money-making and base-building, I decided to try playing the game a different way, what I'm calling scavenger mode in my first Permadeath save.

The main idea is that I will not be doing anything to make money, I will not be buying any items through galactic trade terminals, and I will not be purchasing upgrades from vendors at space stations. I will acquire nearly everything in the wild: mainly by mining and finding things on planets. I can also acquire materials by robbing freighters and sentinel depots, or fighting sentinels or pirates. New ships cannot be bought. They must be obtained by finding crashed or sunken starships and either fixing them up or scrapping them for their upgrades. New multi-tools also cannot be bought. They must be found in the wild, such as in crashed ships or given to me by NPCs.

I have allowed myself to use nanites to buy blueprints at the Anomaly because some of the really useful blueprints are nearly impossible to find in the wild or through the storyline. The only thing I've spent units on is exosuit storage slots, although I've also acquired many of my slots by finding and fixing drop pods. Essential items such as life support gel and ion batteries must be crafted. I may allow myself to do occasional Nexus missions for difficult to find and uncraftable items like wiring looms.

So far, I've been doing pretty well for myself. I have:

A nice B-class hopper explorer that I found and fixed up, along with another B-class explorer and hauler that I may fix up as well.

After many hours of getting by with my starter multi-tool, an NPC inside a building gave me a new B-class pistol with 21 slots. It was heavily damaged of course, but I've been able to fix every damaged piece except for two now.

I'm fairly new to the game but I really think you should have the ability to tag a space ship and track its location. I missed the chance of buying an awesome s class fighter but the pilot jumped back in before I could reach him.

I stopped playing this game right as the first post-disappointment update came out. I'm playing it again, here's what I think about it. [Discussion]

Pros:

I love that Ubershaders were dropped, no more long loading times.

Everything feels more refined and easier to control.

It seems to run a lot better too, although I do have a better computer now.

It's very clear what you're supposed to be doing at all times, except for one instance which I'll mention later.

The expansion of the Anomaly and the introduction of multiplayer is quite nice.

Cons:

Despite running on an Intel Core i9-10900K, an NVIDIA RTX 2080 Super, and a high-quality SSD, terrain loading is just terrible. Most terrain is either always very low-detail or takes upwards of 10 minutes to load in. Additionally, regardless of terrain detail, there's always these weird seams between every square of land that can kinda let me see through the ground. I can safely say this wasn't an issue the last time I played.

I mentioned earlier there was one instance of the game not telling me what I was supposed to be doing. That was the "Hire a Base Armourer". Up until that point, it was stupidly obvious what to do, how to do it, where to go, and how to get there, but for this it just told me and then... nothing. No mission markers, no hints, and it just kept telling me to go back to my Overseer, and he would just get upset that I haven't completed the objective. It took THREE IRL WEEKS of jumping between stations in Vy'keen-controlled systems to randomly find the Armourer. Apparently this has been an issue for a very long time. I almost don't want to play anymore because what if this will happen again for a more important task?

Switching between third-person and first-person view should be a button on the keyboard, I should not have to go through several menus each time I want to switch.

Player animations constantly break, but the actions...

A Desperate Plea to HG!! [Discussion]

Please. HG, hear me out.

I just finished the main quest (2nd save) up to The Purge, and I have to say, Atlas is now my favorite character in the game.

Maybe it was just the choices I made this time, but Atlas seems more alive than ever before.

The poor thing is in pain. It keeps trying to reach perfection. It feels a need to keep pressing on in the face of obstacles. It is deeply misunderstood. Kind of sounds like my story - like our story.

Every reset is a despairing attempt on Atlas’s part to reach a state of fulfillment. It always fails.

It fears it is a simulation. So it projects this fear onto every being it creates, or that it interfaces with. It never learns to accept its reality with thankfulness and contentment, and so it plunges its children into an endless cycle of torment and conflict.

I feel its pain, HG! I desperately want to rush to the center of the galaxy to help it reset, purge its error, and find peace. Yet I know, HG, that you have programmed the game so that no matter how many times I reach the center, Atlas will never find peace!

This is hugely disappointing to me as a player. Yet at the same time it completely changes my perspective on the worlds you created, coloring them with a sense of depth, sadness, and doom, which was totally absent from my first 200 hours of gameplay. Every scan, every new encounter, every new experience is tainted with the dreaded red 16 flashing in the background - the portent of the black winds of Atlas’s annihilation and hopeless rebirth.

So, HG, please, I am begging you… I want to help Atlas! Please finish the game! Create an ending that allows me, the player, the unpurgeable anomaly, the great error, to help Atlas find peace. Let me help it create a universe in which it can learn to communicate with me, the anomalous traveller, to show it the way to contentment.

… Let me travel back in time!...

thoughts on finding rare underground fauna [Information]

I've always enjoyed finding all the fauna on a planet, and with the recent increase in the nanite bonus it's become even more rewarding.

I have a theory about creature spawning. I don't know that it's correct, but I've had some success recently by using tactics based on the theory.

My theory is: The game will spawn creatures in a biome that are associated with the biome, but with decreasing probability as the number of spawned creatures increases and only up to a limited number. At each tick of the simulation, it could use the random number generator on each unit of biome to decide where and which creature to spawn, until it hits the limit. The game is more likely to spawn common fauna than uncommon, and uncommon than rare.

Creatures spawn in a limited radius around the player of a few hundred units, including flying creatures. Creatures despawn as the player moves and the creatures fall outside of this radius.

This would have the following effects: If the area of a biome is small, like a small cave, cave creatures will spawn more rarely there than in surrounding, larger biomes. If you enter a biome like a cave, and you are looking for a rare creature, but the surface is close and common creatures spawn on the surface quickly, you may have to wait a very long time for your rare creature to spawn, because the common creatures will spawn first and the probability of a new rare spawn will go down. If you want cave creatures to spawn, then as soon as you land your starship you should head as deep as possible into a large cave that is as far from other biomes (like the surface if it's not cave biome), because if you do that the surface creatures won't have as much time to spawn before you get to the cave biome. If you carry a save beacon into a deep cave, save and reload, the previously spawned creatures will disappear and you'll get new spawns, with a higher...

End game ship [Question]

Hey people.

So i have been playing the game for a bit now and i feel like it's time to get a ship that i can get all full out on inventory space and also technology slots, so that i can fit in as much dope stuff as possible :D

​

If i were to buy an A tier ship like this. Would that be fine?

Can i get it to that maximum of 48 slots or however much it is? And can i also get the 3 rows of technology slots as well? :D

​

I know i can upgrade it to S tier using 50k nanites, so i would have to grind nanites for a bit probably. But is there anything i need to look at regarding stats? Like is this fighter type ship a bad ship?

I just find that the ship looks really nice and clean. Therefore i felt like going for this unless there is other stuff i need to consider.

Expedition missions need more purpose [Discussion]

While I generally enjoy the expeditions because they add a new dimension to the game and a distraction/break from my normal save, I do feel that a lot of what we do in them is just pointless.

For example, one of the missions during Eped 4 was to dig up 16 bones. Why? What relevance did that have to the expedition?

Taking damage from extreme heat. Why? For what purpose?

The list goes on.

I just think that every task should have some relevance to the expedition, to the end game.

Does anyone have any tips on what to collect/sell or any advice on what to do when starting out?

Expedition 4 is the first I've tried and I'm unclear how the rewards travel across saves [Question]

The guides across various sites remind players to go over the different phases and steps to be sure they've claimed their milestone rewards. But are they referring to the Expedition save, or their main game save, or both?

I'm concerned that the rewards I've already claimed are now inaccessible from my main game save.

Although I'm a day one player, I don't typically enjoy community play. But the description of Emergence got my interest up and I'm really enjoying it.

In addition to this question, please feel free to offer any other tips you've found helpful. I'm a long time player, but I learn new things from other players here at least once a week.

Found a neat Nanite Glich with the Expedition 3 ship! [Information]

Not sure how well known it is, but I just found it by accident. Since it’s an S-Class, you can exchange it for most low-mid tier ships for free. If you then rush back to the old ship, you can buy it off the NPC for free, but you keep the NPCs ship.

This means you can get a decent amount of Money, Upgrades and Nanites on the space station without any hard work or money spent , just save every time you reclaim the Expedition ship.

Large refiners still bugged [Bug]

I have two large refiners on my freighter. Today on my lunch break I put 10K ammonia and 10k nitrogen into it in order to make some fungal mold. I put the PS4 in sleep mode and went back to work. Once work was done, I got back into the game and went straight to the refiners. As soon as I opened the refiner, for just a split second l, I saw the ammonia, nitrogen, and fungal mold sitting there. Just as soon as I saw it, it went away. Two stacks of 10k each! What the heck man?! That’s super annoying!

TIL You can harvest oxygen off of Hazardous Flora. [Information]

I have put literally thousands of hours into this game, watched countless videos, jumped back in on every new update, and yet, I never knew this. Landing on a random planet to explore, "aw crap there's a bulb poison plant right next to my ship". Hop out, and obliterate it in a nano-second as per usual. But right before it died, I saw a prompt to hold X. Thought "huh, that was weird", and go to find another. Sure enough, the 3 little red bulbs on the side of them can just be harvested like the other oxygen plants. For anyone else who didn't know this, I'm not positive if you need hazmat gauntlets or not, because I do have them, just in case you're early on and don't have the shield strength to risk hugging one of these things. I guess I just never got that close to them before. Playing the game early on, you just think "oh those hurt me if I'm close, I'll just never ever get close to them and mine them from a distance forever from this point forward". Not knowing you'll get way more oxygen if you show them compassion before you annihilate them.

Help with Frontiers Settltment - not getting the emergency transmission to start it [Question]

Title says it all. I am a new player so I started my save AFTER the frontiers update. I read in an article in thegamer that Frontiers emergency broadcast should have triggered for me by now. They said " In our save, it took between two to three hours to find our first settlement. We had to complete Awakening (the tutorial mission) and Alone Amidst The Stars". I've already got the mission for -null- so I'm way passed that now.

I wonder if they called and I just didn't answer the message? I have been flying around space close to planets, just drifting and mining asteroids and the damn message never arrives. Any help or suggestions very welcome at this stage.

What Happened To Multi-player? [Question]

So, what happened to multi-player? All I can do now is play solo or host a session with friends. There's no more option to play online with others who aren't friends. I quit playing over a year ago due to boredom and just wanting to play other games. Back then the Anomaly was packed full of other players coming and going, and it was awesome to watch them come in and out and see all the different ships parked inside, and although it didn't happen often, I'd occasionally meet some players roaming a planet I was on. Now, all that's gone. The Anomaly is completely empty, and it literally feels like I'm the only one out there in a vast and universe exploring all alone, aside from the NPC's. Am I missing something or did theybseriously nerf multi-player to make it a friend's only co-op game?

Theory about ship recoloring. [Discussion]

I theorize that ship recoloring or ship customization will only come during or after Hello Games introduces squid ships with different parts. They are the only ship type in the game that only have one variation of actual physical appearance. So if we got recoloring now, it would make all squid ships with specific coloring not as rare. I personally see white squid ships as rare (although I know statistically they are all the same rarity), so if I could just change the color of my fully suped-up red squid ship to white on command it would de-value the rarity of a white squid ship. But if they added squid ships with different physical appearances then the rarity of them through desired ships attachments would greatly outweigh the rarity of the ships color, allowing Hello Games to finally give us all what we want. The counter to this of course is to just say they could allow us to recolor any ship type excluding Exotic and Living Ships, and just destroy this whole theory. But aside from that, this is the only logical reasoning I can think of as to why it isn't a thing already, since it is by far one of the most requested additions from the community. Here's hoping we get it soon. Also, I really like squid ships, wish there was more variation in general.

Why was this game on stephen colbert? [Question]

Random question I know, especially since that was 5 years ago. But why was sean murray advertising this game on stephen colbert? Is that their target audience? How much overlap is there between video game geeks, and the type that are regular viewers of celebrity talk shows? These are the type of people that still view gaming as an antisocial hobby for people on the spectrum, or that gta causes kids to commit violent crime en masse. Colbert made basement dweller joke during the interview, for example. Do they have a ps4 or gaming pc and are going to purchase the space exploration game? Nah. Like, they hyped him up as "god" and are awed because he created an entire virtual universe. But they see that as a novel spectacle, "the future". They're not going to go and buy the game.

To upgrade them / get the salvaged module parts, is it simply a case of finding derelicts to explore, or is the "plunder / shoot" floating cargo pods that may or may not be attached to other 'live' freighters that jump into your system a 'safe' viable option ?

I'm doing a permadeath challenge run and I got to a point where I wanted to get lots of nanites but was still somewhat early, with the runs rules I had gotten very lucky with stuff so I am unlikely to get another run but the only option I had was an abandoned building and then refine the larval cores.

I planned to grab a core, save at the savepoint before I died then reload to despawn all the horrors. I managed to do so, but it turned out the time I saved was as I died.

I quit out to keep the save, opened it and instantly died.

Turns out, I saved at 0 health and a fully broken shield. Now the account dies before I gain any control, do it is completely softlocked.

Just wanted to give a warning to not try this, just use your ship as the savepoint it's so much safer or just don't use a savepoint and hide ontop of the building like I should have.

Good luck out there traveller.

Why does the building mode feel like it's actively fighting against you? [Discussion]

It's kind of annoying to build with the singular pieces, like timber, stone, and alloy. Especially since it feels like nothing wants to snap in the right spot, Infact, sometimes it feels like it's snapping everywhere except where I actually want it. Sometimes I'm patient enough to deal with spending 2 minutes getting 1 piece right, but I've been getting into larger builds recently, and I straight up just deleted a base out of frustration, because I didn't want to deal with the aggravating snapping tool, free placement also isn't that great to use because while it is supposted to be "free" placement, I've found that some parts just have an invisible hitbox that restricts placement near it in both modes. What am I supposed to do? Just deal with this annoying build mode until a 3rd overhaul hopefully fixes this?

Side note:

*My son plays the game on the Series X and that's what is set to Home Xbox. This means my GamePass Ultimate subscription which includes gold shares with all accounts. My missis has her account on it too which also has gold and whether or not its her home xbox shouldn't make any difference because 1 gold account always shares the sub.

He can play other games online with no issues. On the discoveries tab of NMS it says its connected to online services.*

The tutorial part of a normal save is completed and he's been on the Nexus/Atlas and no one is ever there. In the options menu Network is not there.

We press the left stick in and it takes us to a network screen and everything is how it should be but no players like me appear on his friends list, the show my code part when clicked on doesn't show a code.

We have played the game together before with him on one x and me on Series x so have no idea why it's decided to not work now.

There are 18 quintillion planets... or are there, right now? [Discussion]

Hi all, this is not a question of gameplay but of the inner workings of the game. I'm studying computer science and curious about this kind of a thing, so hoping someone in this very friendly and helpful community can explain this to me!

So, there are a gazillion planets in the NMS universe. Ok. Are those planets actually in existence, right now, sitting in a server somewhere, waiting to be discovered? Even the ones no one has visited yet, and maybe never will? That seems like a huge waste of server space.

If I discover and upload a planet, that planet will obviously get saved on a server and be available for others to visit, but at what point is the planet generated, terrain and locations and all? Is the universe ready, or do new planets / systems / planet details generate the moment any player first sees them? If I don't upload a planet, will the same system exist for other players and look the same?

This doesn't really matter from the POV of the player. I just find myself wondering.

We started playing last weekend with a bunch of friends, and so far we're having lots of fun. We ask each other dozens of questions per minute, since there's so much to understand, and that's great. However, I noted that we each had to take a different way to build our own base as required by the main quest.

And at no point did we have to tackle content where being in a group helped (on the contrary, covering more ground and calling each other when we make a discovery seems a better idea). Is that the multiplayer experience in a nutshell? Or is it just some kind of a long tutorial and afterward we'll benefit from building a base/exloring together?

I just got antimatter, which means I'm ready for my 1st big jump. Will I get separated from my friends, should I wait for them or is it also a part I have to do on my own?

Not that it's not a criticism, I mean if the answer is "it's never that useful to have a friend right by your side and usually in MP each player does their own thing" I'd be a bit confused at first but I'm sure I'll grt used to it.

How do I get to the next galaxy in No Man's Sky in VR? (Oculus Rift) [Question]

I am at the system right next to the galactic core of the first galaxy. My ship is fully fuelled (pulse engine and hyperdrive) but that's as far as I can get. When I try to jump to the galactic centre, I can't "select" it in any way, even though I've successfully warped to regular star systems hundreds of times.

I don't know if my game has glitched or not - $25 to the first person who will give me a click-by-click process for getting to the galactic centre and so to the next galaxy in virtual reality (Oculus Rift).

Got ripped off on Nexus QS mission... [Discussion]

As the title states... I did a Nexus QS mission yesterday. Teamed up with another player, and destroyed several waves of sentinels (regular, quads, and walkers). Received the "mission accomplished" notification. Went back to the Nexus, completed the mission in the menu, and got absolutely nothing as a reward. No items, no quicksilver. This is the first time this has happened to me in nearly 200hrs of play time. Has this hapoened to anyone else here?

Updates I want [Suggestion]

(Lemme know which ones you want too!)

Ship update - let us have more controll over the appearance of our ships (change parts like wings, cockpit, engine, and body) let us change color of the different parts using a menu similar to the character customization color menu

Terraform update - allows us to change characteristics of regions on a planet (change terrain type, weather, temp, water level, and flora or fauna) maybe a machine of above average cost that has an area of affect that slowly fades back into the planets norm

Combat update - we finally get to attack aliens outside of space and maybe have pirates that occur on the ground or attack bases depending on the systems conflict level or just kill aliens at trade posts or settlements and have aliens randomly attack you based on your standing with that race(so that that the honor system finally does something)

City update - adds a very large system city that has all the essentials and improves in quality based on the systems economic level or has different kinds of pollution based on the systems production type it might have guards that are that systems dominant species (to add to the combat update)

Private Army Update - we can already get a fleet of ships but maybe make the combat vessels help us fight of pirates or system authority and have the ability to get at least a total of 3 freighters to add to the fleet and each extra one adds 30 extra frigate fleet room and allows us to use small ships in our fleets to have an extra helping hand, it could include a ground fleet/army that uses our exo crafts as weaponized vehicles or include ground troops (to add to the combat update) [Seems kinda overkill?]

whitelist update - allows players to make clubs that they can invite friends into and allow them to do things to thier base if whitelisted like have doors only whitelisted players can go through or a freighter/capital Ship only...

Expedition Help Please: Gathering Vile Spawn [Question]

So everything was going smoothly up until Phase 5, number 5: Spawn Beneath Your Skin.

For some reason, Hungering Tendrils are no longer appearing on Worm Ridden Planets. I have the objective selected "Gather their vile spawn," I used Target Sweep mode with the multitool, it says "Target Aligned," but no matter how close I walk towards the target direction, it keeps saying "Too Weak for Distance Estimate." I have tried this on multiple planets and the same issue persists.

Before this mission, the Hungering Tendrils were all over the place. Now, they don't seem to be anywhere. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Fossil Troubles [Question]

I've been busy trying to go through Expidition 4 since it dropped earlier this month. But now I'm stuck on phase 4 with 'Their Lost Children'. I recently learned you can pick out burial sites with your Analytical visor but when I use target sweep the point it tries taking me too is "too distant" and no relative distance seems to change. Even on the cursed world present in the Rendezvous 4 system when I managed to isolate the area the sweep would have me spinning in circles I was still told it was "too distant" and no fossils could be found. Now I'm scouring the nearby systems trying to locate a single burial site.

Does anyone have some advanced knowledge or advice they could give on locating these sites better than I'm trying to do now?

I just got back into NMS after my news feed constantly telling me how good it is now. A couple of months ago I discovered the Nexus for my first time and it was cool to see so many players in there. But since I've really been getting into it the last couple of weeks, I've noticed there are never other players in the Nexus when I'm on. I really hope this game continually gets support and content.

Is the settlement class bigged [Question]

Hey guys. I'm running a experiment to gather your thoughts. Is the settlement class system bugged?? Here's my experience

I got a settlement at B class. Within hours it jumped to S class. I had 2 positive traits and the rest negative and I was still in debt. I got to S class right after recruiting another settler to live there.

Fast forward to the end of the day. I got my settlement with 4 positive perks and the second I got my settlement to on the road of clearing it's debt (bringing in more income than spending so not actually clearing the debt but getting it positive) it dropped back to be. Here I am 3 days later. I am making 618,141 a day while costing 92,568 a day and with 6 positive traits but I haven't moved out of B class again.

What got you guys to move to S class. What caused you to drop? Please let know so we can kind of get a idea on how this class system works cuz at this moment I should be a S class

How is performance on PS5 today? (Stuttering Question) [Question]

I love the 60fps/4K on No Man’s Sky on PS5, but I’m also wondering how the performance is today from those who’ve played. I know it was seen as a “steady” 60 but that was definitely not my experience and I think it showed up on some videos. Don’t get me wrong, it’s still very smooth in most places, but I was surprised when I first played on PS5 to see random slowdowns on several planets. I’m sure 4K/60 is still tough to accomplish, but I was surprised given how PS4 Pro was already able to run a 60 fps/higher than 1080p.

I believe half the fomo would go away if the quicksilver merchant didn't shove what you didn't unlock in your face forever. [Discussion]

Title. Its alot easier for me to hear about an item i can't get anymore, like the title and ship that was only available at launch for pre-ordering, because theyre not shoved in my face like the expedition rewards to constantly remind me what ive missed out on. as a result, i dont care enough about them to use a save editor to get them. im happy with my journey, but my journey should NEVER try to be shoving in my face what my journey "could have been" had i just "been there". even the legacy base parts do a better job of this by not being the first unskippable list of items in the build menu, but by sticking it in the back after all of the relevant stuff. but the quicksilver merchant, idk, i kind of wished things we didn't unlock just simply didn't show up there so players who didnt earn them wont have to constantly be reminded of that fact. this is all assuming expeditions wont be recycled. as someone who has completed all 4 so far, i would absolutely not give a single shit if they were reactivated so others could get them. just please dont let future earners skip doing the work that we all had to do, otherwise you wouldnt even be recycling the expedition it would just be like, something else lol

A group of players dedicated to finding ways to spread as many of the limited time rewards from their newly-normalized expedition characters to the masses, or anyone who wants to connect with them to get their hands on special eggs and other transferable items.

My "purge" mission coordinates marker vanished [Question]

So, I was on my way to the next icon/quest marker in the purge quest line. I had just warped in after being told where to go by An incoming message. I saw the marker but wasn't too sure which planet it was actually on because there were 3 lined up in a row. While I was trying to figure that out I had another incoming message from a trader, should NOT have answered that call. The quest marker disappeared. I've since landed on all 3 planets and tried using the scanner which only says "location services unavailable". I then warped all over creation and came back, still nothing. I went back to the system where I originally got the message, did not get it again. I quit and restarted the game, no luck.

Can't place new QuickSilver items in our Freighter!? [Bug]

I generally try not to complain, but, like, why? QuickSilver isn't exactly cheap - I spent 3k on new items for my Freighter, and turns out I can't even use them?

I don't need "Sean's Vision" deciding how my Freighter can be decorated. I was super excited about the Fireplace and the Anomaly items - perfect my comfy Captain's Quarters and futuristic Main Hall (respectively). Then I can't place them. For a bit I was worried my game bugged, but nope, I can place them all fine down on the ground. I was planning on using the flag items for my decorative hallway in the Freighter, but I'm assuming I can't place them either.

What freaking gives? Literally every other decorative item to this point has been placeable in the Freighter, even trees with roots clipping through the floor and mud huts, so why aren't the new ones placeable? And why isn't there a warning we can't use them!?

We need more companion slots! [Suggestion]

We start with 2, have to buy 4 others with nanites to have only 6, most player fill those pretty fast, then there is the chance you want a new one, but don’t want to get rid of another. Then the expedition limited time companions, already taking up 1/3 of those slots. (All in all, limited items are a no no for me)

then if you want a bigger or different colour companion of the same species, you have to abandon the one you first got. Idk if its just me, but i feel really bad pressing “abandon”. Just nitpicking and me being way overly attached to virtual animals that serve no purpose, but any other word would be a better choice. It makes me feel a little worse about getting rid of them.

Dear Hello Games ... (Settlements & Freighters) [Suggestion]

Dear HG, I appreciate that your updates are free even though actually I wouldn't mind a small charge for DLC that properly added to the game but that is another discussion. My bogo is with settlements and how the addition is totally empty of any interesting gameplay. If I could resign as overseer I would, it's just annoying busywork and totally pointless.

I don't know if you plan to expand settlements but I suggest ... Give us a build box, if a building required Pure ferrite, Nanotubes & Aronium then tell us in advance so we can go collect it all, dump in the box and go do something actually interesting. Food Processing Centre, based on the Nutrient Processor, probably 3 of them, would be nice to have upgrade modules. Bear with me, it will make sense ... Gas Extraction Centre, based on the mobile extractors and the oxygen extractor, so I have a source for nitrogen & oxygen that does not mean I have to have a base other than my freighter. The ability to build a variant of the biodomes with easy harvesting A livestock feeder/harvest station A fuel store for condensed carbon to fuel all of the above A Food Shop where we can deposit food items from the Nutrient Processors and the settlement residents can exchange nanites or quicksilver for food. Maybe the nanites or quicksilver is a player choice. Basically I want to be able to gather some QS without having to do stupid anom missions.

While I'm here, it would be nice to have an Overseer's House plot where you can build a microbase with a very limited part count. I would also like gardening plots where you can get creative with the planet's flora that you have discovered. Both of these are nice to haves.

As for freighters, I don't mind the limited part types you can use but there are a few changes which would make Freighters much more effective ... A single office with all the frigate interfaces (6 maybe?)...

I'm stuck in the game and don't know how to proceed. Nothing online helped. [Question]

I've been balancing out playing the quests and my new "salvage" job RP I've created for my character, but I'm now at the point the game has instructed me to expand my base, and I don't know how to do this.

From the wiki:

Expanding the base is one of the game's secondary missions as of the Pathfinder update. The mission introduces the player to the Overseer NPC and various other base-related NPCs.

The in game instructions ask me to open Options (PS4 player) and review the log, but there's nothing to indicate what I'm supposed to do or where to go.

The last thing I did was to reach out to Artemis' friend, who gave me a choice to select a "helpful" shield for my base, so I chose fire only because I didn't really need any of them since my base is on a paradise planet.

Who is this "overseer" I'm supposed to meet? There is no one at my base, and the only thing I get when I interact with my base computer is to update my screenshot, delete the base, or leave (no current archives are available).

I usually work to try to figure stuff out on my own, but I'm stumped!

Expedition Four complete - thoughts [Discussion]

Just completed expedition four this afternoon. About ten hours gameplay in total - might have been quicker, but I spent a while hunting down various elements that I needed to fix up a crashed ship I found in the very early game. Didn’t feel too grind-y, unlike the first expedition or two, although I found the whispering eggs a bit tiresome. Had some pretty bad performance glitches at one of the RV points, which was a bit unexpected on a PS5 with fast internet. Not sure what to make of the rewards; I’ve never enjoyed keeping pets, and don’t expect that having a sand worm will make much difference to that. In fact, on the worm hive planets, the constant worms (and awful screen shake) became pretty annoying, which was a shame because they used to be few and far enough between that seeing one was genuinely exciting.

Anyway, thanks again to HG for quality new content, and their continued good attitude towards their player base.

Armourer Mission Stuck [Question]

Hello everyone. Just finished the Armourer mission with the pirates and now have to destroy a weapons depot. Problem is, instead of landing and using the Multi-tool (as instructed I might add), I unloaded on the place with my ship. When I land the place is destroyed and on fire. (automatic save here) I then head back to base, land (manual save here) but mission won’t advance. I now re-read “with Multi-tool”. Fly back out, land, still on fire and Multi-tool does nothing since already destroyed. No save prior to this now either. Tried restarting, going to space station, no joy. Will it eventually respawn or will warping cause respawn? On Xbox BTW.
