How do i make the Door Open when i get closer to it? [Question]

I havent played in a long time, and i was really confused when i tried to open the door to my base. Then i found out about the sensor that activates when i get close, but that just closes the door when i come near it and opens it when im not there. And i cant seem to figure out the Negation-Switch?

Starship Collection [Question]

Hello, very new to the game & this sub but I’m loving it so far!! Apologies if this is not the right place to post this, but I just had a quick question.

I had discovered a damaged ship and repaired it. I was under the impression that any repaired or purchased ship would be added to your collection on your freighter but after flying the new ship back onto my freighter, my old one is no where to be found. How exactly does this system work as I clearly don’t have an understanding on it lol

How do frigates upgrade rank? [Question]

I have a fleet with 4 A class frigates. They are numbered according to what the game said was the amount of missions left until they upgraded rank. The number 1 frigate, a trade vessel, has ~30 missions till S. The number 4 frigate, a support vessel, had ~350 missions till S. I sent my whole fleet on a mission then went to bed. When I came back the frigate with the most missions till S was S. Does it actually not matter how many mission they go on? I am very confused.

Settlement material type [Question]

Do the settlements come in all three of the new building materials, if so can you influence what material type a new settlement would be? Pop the settlement map and if not the type wanted reload?

Trying to get one that uses metal.

Something seems off about trying to teleport to other peoples bases [Question]

Hello everyone I have been having this problem where I cannot travel to other peoples bases because apparently it keeps saying “unable to download base” which is dumb because I have multiplayer and my discovery thing is connected but despite that it keeps saying that I am unable to download base if anyone has any solutions to this problem that would be great thank you also if there is someone who wants to help get me to the eissentam through their base or by allowing me to join their game so I can get there without needing to fix everything even three seconds that would be great thank you

Hot Take, Expedition 4 feels souless and is a buggy pain [Discussion]

Honestly straight off the bat I know Im going to get my fudge cannon shredded by fan boys.

I want to say I love the game in general, but the expedition is probably the most souless grind I have ever seen. It just does not feel rewarding for how much bs you have to experience. Just half hearted objectives like standing in a storm... and finding resources to mine mindlessly just does not feel rewarding.

Plus the worm spawns... that just sit there and do nothing as you blast them... I don't know I was just hoping for more.

Problem with expedition [Question]

I'm on phase 4 of the expedition and I can't find any burial sites for ancient bones.its the last mission I have to do before moving to the next phase. The target sweep mode always says too weak for distance estimate and the analysis mode shows no burial sites no nlmatter how far I walk or what planet I'm on. What am I doing wrong here?

Looking for a game [Question]

Hi, I hope that you can help me. I am looking for the name of a game, here is the description:

It came out in the last 3 years (maybe it was in early access before), it looks like Minecraft. I think it is available on PC but also on PS4. I think there are portals to hop between worlds and it is multiplayer focused. If I remember correctly, it is a bit more sci-fi. I think I remember some sort of unique symbol for your avatar (or group?).

Sorry for not being able to be more specific! I am aware that this doesn't really fit here but I don't know what else to do.

Btw: it is not portal knights, I think characters looked somewhat blocky...

Miniscule changes that could make No Man's Sky significantly better [Suggestion]

I think by now, those of us on here who've played this videogame regularly for over half a decade (I was a day 1er, think I may even have the preorder bonus ship chugging along somewhere on my earliest save, and here I am still coming back for more - I play mainly these days on a Permadeath save that tells me my Total Play Time is apparently over 400 hours, and I poured easily as much time into the NMS adventure before a Permadeath mode was even a thing =/), we all know the score... loads of mini-gripes here and there, tiny frustrations at what certain underdeveloped aspects of the game could blossom into, but mainly a pure kind of (almost) all-forgiving love, or at least a deep sense of prolonged attachment/craving for that zen experience of No Man's Sky at its very best.

Having seen a welcome return of sorts to vivid colour and charmingly awkward oddness (in amongst the incredibly polished aspects that we just tend to take for granted - certain little passages of NMS music are deeply embedded in my subconscious now [in a good way]), what I'd love to see now is a fleshing out of the features that are sort of still basically scaffolding for something that COULD BE great.

There will be loads of discussion about Settlements - with that being the latest big new addition to the game - so increased variety & complexity of interaction with settler NPCs, expanded dialogue options, unique interactible elements and things to just sit back and watch play out in the numerous "different" buildings we've been constructing, etc... all that goes without saying. I don't even mind having my parking specs always taken up by visiting ships so I need to land on the ground somewhere, as long as those visits from outsiders actually serve some purpose, like offering unusual trade opportunities or perhaps even questlines you could go on.

No Mans Sky has the best community [Discussion]

I met a player through a nexus mission and we played together for hours. Aaroff was an endgame player so s/he showed me the ropes and helped me get a lot of loot. We even built an entire base together. (Aaroff did 98% of it.)

Squid Ship??? [Question]

I've been trying ever since I started playing to obtain a squid ship. Been to all the places identified in NMS Coordinate Exchange but I've never seen one...

Is there some prerequisite to these spawning? Should I have completed some specific mission? I'm just frustrated that some others have been able to locate and obtain these, but for some reason they never spawn for me.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

#

I can't find the Armorer. [Question]

So I've already placed down the station and the mission points me to my systems space station but when I go there the icon is at the opining and says On Planet, lastly when I check inside of the station the only person that I can hire other then the overseer is the one for land vehicles. Also this might be related to another problem I'm having where the icon for one of the missions doesn't point me to the right place, I think they both might be caused by a refresh of the game world?

Should I ever start on the main quest? [Question]

I've been spending all my time getting S class everything, opening new inventory slots, exploring planets, building my base out, and setting up salt mines.

Am I trivializing the rest of the game/story by doing this? Is the story worth dedicating time to? How long is the full story line, and can I come back to all my stuff afterwards? :)

Thanks!

Helpful Random Building tip [Information]

Don't know if it's a bug, an update, or just something else. Buutttt

If you walk just outside of your Settlements border (the very visible box that it sits in) and start to build a base computer, you can walk back into the border, place it in the town, and then be able to build things within in it.

I saved, and everything stayed in place, idk what a patch or update will do, but there you go.

With Love, Lodith the Worm Cultist

😐 [Bug]

imagine actually meeting some one out of the absaloute blue. Yes. You heard me right. Out of the millions of systems in this game I had actually randomly ran into someone while making my base. Only for it to be destroyed due to the game kicking me out. And it's not even like it was unlucky timing this thing where it kicks me out happens all the time and for the incredibly rare and special occasions like meeting someone out of absaloutely no where and building a base together only for it to be gone just by some dumb connection error, should be enough to do something about it hopefully.

Can't access my old save on PS4 [Question]

A couple months ago, my playstation got corrupted so I had to reset the system software, at first I thought things would be alright because all my saves are stored online and for the most part it was, apart from NMS.

I'm able to download my saves to the console but I have no way of accessing them in game. I've sent a few report things into the support tab of the game website but I never received a response. I had a bunch of the seasonal stuff on my main save like the Normandy and a lot of hours leading back to the games launch so I really would like to sort this out.

Does anyone here have any ideas on what I could do?

#

Just when I think I've done everything I find something else to keep me hooked. [Discussion]

I've recently started role-playing as a haulage and recovery man for stranded aliens everywhere.

Getting emergency nav data for broken down ships, crashes, etc...

There's something so cool about fixing up a ship and seeing them fly off.

Unfortunately crash sites sometimes have no survivors so I solemnly weigh in their wreckage for parts to help others.

Anyway I know this is a rudimentary part of the game, but its given me purpose on NMS again,

So if you ever see Goldrush Haulage hanging out at the anomaly come and say hey.

Does this game go somewhere? [Question]

Been playing off and on for a couple of months and can’t seem to progress off the second planet.

Procedurally Generated Glider Beasts [Suggestion]

How cool would it be to track a rare species down, steal an egg/larvae/mycelium etc and raise a critter to maturity that is gifted one of several in flight abilities?

Imagine having said critter feeding off of your jetpack or personal refiner fumes for energy and spawns into enormous wings when a simple 'double jump' input (or similar) is detected?

Imagine sourcing new rare materials on virtually unscalable volcanic vistas, using your new companion to ride newly implemented thermal vents... or giant gusts of wind on Paradise planets with massive tree canopies, expansive nuclear flower and mushroom giants... you get the idea.

Your jetpack could then be used as a more effective forward propulsion mechanic while the critters wings are deployed, allowing for more seamless surface traversal without the dependency of 'stop and launch' starship jumping.

Incentivize rare materials collected with your biological glider to build new multi tool attachments and starship technology.

I mean, we have a sequencer established. We have a creative community, and we have a lot of enormous jagged landscapes wasted on simple flyovers.z

On / Off Spacebar pulse drive shouldn't cause such a bright flash transition. [Suggestion]

It's so amazing knowing your ship is physically moving through this enormous space, but it sucks having the initial rush of it be completely obliterated in third person by the flash of engaging it. That's not something that is present for the entire length of time before and after pulse is engaged, why should it be so bright at those moments at all? I say the immersion would only be increased if the screen centered your focus more like some gravitational momentary vignette or something I don't know, rather than this random feeling flash effect that isn't present at all anywhere else in the pulse-drive's functionality, like at all. Even just a much lessened flash effect, just what we have now but turned down, so I can really see and immerse myself in that moment when we engage in super speed. I don't see how that could possibly hurt the game or its immersion. ESPECIALLY for epileptic players!

Can you sell Living Ships? [Question]

So I recently got 5 void eggs from a stranger on the Anomaly (thank you so much, if you are reading this!). I've already hatched one and gave a couple to some friends of mine, but I am still left with 2 and I don't really know what to do with them?

The questline was fun, except for the times I had to wait arrpund 24h to be able to keep playing it, but I don't know if I want to go through it again. I might think doing it so, if I can get profit out of the ships. Is it possible to sell them to NPCs, or to other players?

Should I just, hatch them and keep them for future, just in case?

Thank you so much for your time and input!

Any other games which focus on the settlement? [Question]

Hi, I was really hyped to the settlement update and I am currently upgrading my settlement.. But it just feels shallow and dont have an actual purpose.. Is there any similar game which have a good settlement focused theme. I know there are games where you grow village or civilization.. But I want a game where we are our own playable character and we can build a settlement on side, not just base building.. Do fallout have similar settlement or just building base and no npcs?

need some insight [Discussion]

I am considering doing the living ship quest. Yeah, I know it is outdated and stuff, but from all that I have seen on internet this quest is huge and complex. What I need insight on is--- is it worth it? Are living ships difficult to maintain, fly, upgrade, etc. I know that my one experience with an exotic ship were not that positive it was a bear to maneuver, maintain and difficult to upgrade. I just am a bit concerned about spending untold hours on a quest I will be disappointed in at the end. Please advise.

stuck at tutorial quest , cant access the anomaly and yet im enjoying the game more [Question]

I have a bug where im stuck in the refueling the warp drive quest after jumping to a new system for the first time

the poi is inside a volcano. so i don't have access to it.

Now this has made me play without having access to the anomaly which TBH i mentioned before on another thread that it makes most settlements obsolete.

But now im hunting for manufacture and empty building for nanites.

i also cant warp to bases or spacestation on another system (maybe a bug?) only the ones on the same system

Only downside is i cant follow the story.( to bad)

so im going to aim for reach the center in permadeath achievement, but after maxing my char.

only one question.

besides exocraft what would be the tech i could miss the most in the long run by not having acces to the anomaly?

Is the bright flash when engaging/disengaging pulse drive a technical necessity? [Discussion]

I say the immersion would only be increased if the screen centered your focus more like some gravitational momentary vignette or something I don't know, rather than this random feeling flash effect that isn't present at all anywhere else in the pulse-drive's functionality, like at all. Even just a much lessened flash effect, just what we have now but turned down, so I can really see and immerse myself in that moment when we engage in super speed. I don't see how that could possibly hurt the game or its immersion. ESPECIALLY for epileptic players! As it is now we know it isn't part of the loading or rendering of anything since you can avoid experiencing it by just not engaging pulse and boosting around instead. Much slower, but also much more immersive by avoiding these bright screen takeovers lol.

Bugged final milestone in Emergence expedition? [Question]

I’m trying to complete the final milestone ‘their vile spawn’ in the latest expedition, which needs you to find a titan worm burrow. I’ve found plenty before but they seemed to have stopped spawning for me. I’ve completed all the other milestones and I’m on the final rendezvous planet. No matter where I land, my target scan always comes up with ‘too far for distance estimate’ and no matter how far I walk in that direction, no burrows appear. Has anyone found a fix for this?

VR photo mode question. [Question]

I shared my settlement photo yesterday. I play the game via PS4VR. I've noticed that when I go into photo mode, my player not only isn't on the screen, but the gameplay is still moving. My ship is still moving, animals still moving, etc. All photo mode does when playing VR is create a sort of "movie mode" where my player isn't visible.

So, when I take screenshots of landscapes, ships, etc, the quality is usually poor compared to what I'm seeing here.

Does anyone else who plays VR expeirence this? Any explanation as to why?

Creatures and Gene Manipulation Question [Question]

So I am getting my first companion after a SLOG of an expedition (Tapey the sandworm), and I have a question about the egg sequencer in general.

I know you can use the gene sequencer to change temperament, size, color, and just mutate your companions. I was just wondering to what extent cannnn you actually do. It seemmms from just seeing peoples pets and watching videos that in all honesty it is just kind of smoke and mirrors when it comes to what you can actualllly change to these creatures minus size.

From what I have seen gene changing really only has 1 to 2 changes for most creatures which is kind of.. a bummer honestly. I get obviously companions are newish so maybe this will get more intricate some day, or am I just wrong and you can really manipulate creature more than I know?

Also as someone who is newish to the game and especially companions, how many creatures reallllly are in this game variety wise. Since I feel like I see everyone posting the same creatures with maybe very minorrrr changes. So I was kind of curious to know how many actual unique creatures there are?

Thanks in advance!

Whatever you do, DO NOT CRITICIZE THE HUBCOIN! [Question]

Admins please remove this if it isn't the place for it. Over on the NMS galactic hub subreddit I made the mistake of pointing out that their new hubcoin seemed a lot like microtransactions. I was immediately attached by an extremely aggressive admin who was rude, deleted my comments, replied using strike through text to call my opinion idiotic, a nonpoint, that my opinion/criticism didn't matter and then just banned me permanently from posting and muted me for a month. There was another reddit user getting their comment deleted too.

Wondering about languages [Discussion]

I'm a bit confused about the languages of the game. The wiki entries seem to imply that they're also procedurally generated. Which... makes in-character stuff a little tricky at times.

I'm also having a little head-scratching at whether or not there's a defined grammar and construction pattern. (Like there seems to be flip-flopping on whether there's consistent root words. For instance, the Gek words "Aunbar" (Despair, capitalized) and "Aunbarde" (Destroy, capitalized) seem directly related to each other, but I can't tell whether or not they actually are or if it's coincidental. And though words for things like "the" exist, they seem to be optional.)

For that matter, I can't think of any feasible in-universe justification for the capitalization synonyms.

Sorry, I've just been thinking about conlangs a little too much.

Finally completed Expedition 4 - Brilliant! [Information]

Thank you, Hello Games!

And many thanks to fellow Travellers and Interlopers for the generous and helpful bases, and this sub. You inspire me to do my part better.

Missed the three previous expeditions. Saw the worm egg thing and had to jump in.

Have to say this was the most entertainment I have had in this game since I first struggled as completely clueless noob May 2018 with Atlas Rises, and loved every minute, then again with Next that July, and all the updates since.

I haven't felt so engrossed in this game as those times until Expedition 4. Hello Games put an amazing level of art and craft into this and it was brilliant.

I can’t wait for Expedition 5, as I hope will be soon.

To the players who've been here since day 1 [Discussion]

I know that some will see this as a sacrilege, but I really want to have an earnest discussion about this:

How happy are you with the current state of the game and where it's heading?

Do you think that devs kept expanding on what made you fell in love with the game or did they go in a completely different direction? If latter - are you fine with the direction they went?

Also and most importantly how do you feel about the atmosphere of the game, mainly here I'm wondering about planetary exploration - how has that changed for you, in regards to how the game feels now and how it felt then? Do you miss the old planetary generation and color pallets?

One player can really ruin the experience [Discussion]

So in the Anomaly if a player invites me to their group I usually join. Mainly to give them a chance to join me in my bases in whatever galaxy I happen to be in (in this instance my treehouse base in Odlayutai, as a lot of players like to get there).

Sure enough ten minutes later "georgeACE123" a PS player enters the system, and heads towards my planet. Rather than say hello, the pr**k starts shooting, then leaves a comm ball in space where it can't be reported. Both easily fixed as I have PvP off and blocking him through PlayStation removes the unsightly comm ball.

But honestly, why?

What the hell do people get out of being like this?

Guess I'll be ignoring all invites from now on.

Even though I can't, and won't see him, it's annoying me he's probably building a base in my system right now 😂

Plus I've always liked helping others out, taxying them to various galaxies or providing resources they need...... Now I'm running out of trust for random players 😔

Xbox console companion/cross platform FPS concerns? [Question]

Idea for expedition reward. [Suggestion]

How about make it a hard style expedition that takes awhile to complete. At the end of a week or 2 journey you get to customize a ship it can be regular ship freighter or even one of your support ships. I think that would be amazing just a 1 time thing and the ship can transfer to other accounts. I can just imagine the creations.

Not knocking the game at all but there's always things we'd like to see added, removed, or changed. For example, I'd like some options for the hud.

Also, it would be cool to see your hands at the controls of your ship and exocraft in first person.

Game breaking bug? Please help! [Bug]

I ended up reloading an autosave, and I think it currupted my game.

Once I reloaded it, I was told that the settlement mission is complete. You know, the usual pop up icon in the bottom right. However, it didn't stay up, and flashed every second and a half with that notification sound. Each flash would cause a lag in the came. I deselected the mission to remove the flash, and while it worked, the pause/lag every second and a half remained. I quit the game, restarted it, reloaded the auto save, and it didn't work.

I have yet to reload a manual save because the last manual save is about 2 hours back in gameplay. I'd rather not do that if I don't have to.

Anyone have experience with this?

The wiki indicates that the alien should have much higher damage than the rifle. When all upgrades are removed from both, the rifle has 388 damage potential, and the alien has 433. However, when both have the same scatter blaster upgrades, the rifle sits at ~5900 while the alien is only at ~5600. While neither are anywhere near what I’d actually like (around 10000 Lol), I’m also clearly not understanding something. How is my situation possible and what am I doing wrong?

Could really use some help, can't find grave [Question]

Hi!!

Just got back into the game after not playing for a while. I jumped to a new galaxy & in the process of heading to the space station I got attacked by pirates and died. When I spawned back in I was on the outside of the space station, I think, it looked weird like I was inside the game graphics like I fell under the outer surface of the space station.

So I reloaded my last autosave & cannot find my grave. I've spent 15 minutes flying all around & there's no marker or anything.

Is my game fucked since I ended up in a glitched area after I died? I can only choose the autosave to load into even when I close the game completely. Unless I don't know how to pull up all my saves, I'll gladly go back to an earlier save if possible.

How do you get the most out of expeditions ? [Question]

If there's a combat mission, do I send my top 5 combat frigates to get maximum rewards? Or is there some sort of ceiling you can hit, thus making 5 combat frigates overkill?

And how does distance traveled, and difficulty, affect rewards? I've seen expeditions with shorter distances, but higher difficulty ratings. If I want the best rewards, should I focus on the ones that travel the farthest, or the ones that have the highest difficulty?

The Practical Problem With Ship Customization (No Matter Which Side of the Fence You're On) [Information]

Ship customization is literally impossible in No Man's Sky. Now hold on and let me explain. As long as you conform to the possible parts, colors, and the rules that govern them, your dream ship already exists. Yep, it's out there, somewhere.

I say that because literally every combination exists already. There are at least 64 billion of each type out there as a matter of fact. They've all been built, procedurally. That ship has a unique identifier (so do trees, rocks, planets, animals, Gek, everything) that's called a seed. It's an ungainly hexadecimal number that can be up to 24 digits long. I'm not even sure how big that is, because my calculator goes into scientific notation and my eyes glass over. 😜

When you, or anyone else, sees your ship, the game sees it's seed and shows you the decoded ship. Because of that you can't change the wing, the color, or the thrusters without changing the seed. But that seed already exists, it belongs to another ship out there, somewhere. So, you can't customize your ship, you have to get a new ship, that's just the way the game works.

Did I mention how many billions of ships are out there? When you change that wing, the game then would have to search each and every one of those billions and billions of seeds, unpacking each along the way, until it found a match. It takes a long time and, mind you, the game cannot create a new seed, there aren't any left that conform to the rules.

How do I know? We do it every day. It's called seed-swapping. By editing your saved game and putting in a new seed, you change the appearance of your ship (and two of it's stats, damage and maneuverability.) How do we find the seeds, just like I said in the paragraph above. Some perspective here.

PLEASE let us have more than 6 companions [Suggestion]

I already posted this on r/NoMansSky but I thought I'd share it here as well.

It's really weird, I know, but the alien animals are probably one of my all time favorite parts of the game. I get all sentimental about my digital space friends and it's hard to let them go in favor of a cooler one.

My girlfriend suggested this and I think it's too genius not to mention, but we can keep the system of having 6 companions. We can only have 6 ACTIVE companions at a time. Every companion that isn't active can be stored at a base, either in some type of storage or in actual enclosures.

That way you're still somewhat limited (only I'm not sure why that's important) and those cool one-of-a-kind creatures are not lost forever. If you let us build enclosures, we could also build space zoos.

Let me say that again.

Space. Zoos.

Thank you very much for your time and attention.

Gek distress signal beacon message not changing. [Bug]

I'm not sure if this is a bug or something I did that may have caused it.

I'm 100% complete with the Gek faction, but I didn't notice until recently I've been getting the same beacon distress message for all crashed ships in Gek systems.

Something about the pilot being alone for so along as to develop paranoia. My only options are to scan the pilot or take the cargo.

The ship itself does change, so it's not identical each time. I no longer see stranded pilots.

Korvax and Vy'keen distress signals are still randomized, so I'm not sure why it's only affecting Gek systems.

The only thing I can think of is that I recently completed the Gek standings, but I cannot recall if the issue started at this point. I only noticed it when looking for haulers this past weekend.

If this is a bug, I'll report it to the official thread.

Save editing in the Normandy to the Fleet? [Question]

Hi there, I was wondering if it were possible to save edit the Normandy in through one of the save editors that are about.

I've looked at a few and see that they edit frigates as well as being able to duplicate them but not sure how I would get the ship itself with things like 'home/model' seeds as well as it's stats properly.

I am aware that the ship type in the editors 'Normandy' is a thing but the above stats and seed query still applies for this. Whether it will even be the same as normally redeemed one after that I don't know new territory for me.

I did even try editing my account with the editor with unticking and reticking the box but no luck.

Any help with this would be grateful.

For all I know all I need is just a screenshot of someones save editor with a normandy and that's that.

Background story bit:

For why I'm asking this, I had redeemed the Normandy on a separate save I have well over a couple hundred hours on turns out if you redeem the Normandy with your fleet capped out already it just vanishes forever and you can't just re-redeem it at the quicksilver companion for whatever reason. I had been told that it just replaces a random ship but that's not what happened here I can only assume that it's a bug.

TL:DR how do you save edit normandy frigate into fleets plox

[bug] Radiant Pillar alt colour and infinite price reductions on ship purchases. [Bug]

Unsure if this bug is already known, but I googled a bit and didn't find anything for like an hour but I'm dumb lol. I found this by complete accident while doing a challenge run .

The following Ships work for this glitch; Radiant Pillar (has a secondary effect) Any starship given at the start of an expedition profile Golden vector Any free ship you can get from claiming it as a broken one. Living Ship.

Have one of the specified ships equipped.

Go to the space station.

Exchange the ship for any whatever ship you want to purchase at a decreased cost (based on the inventory size+class of the ship used).

go back to the ship you exchanged away, go to the buy ship menu with the npc owner of the ship that was made.

You can claim the ship for free.

I do not know why this works, but I have a theory.

These ships all have a cost value that is "0" (or, free).

The ships that have some form of interaction menu when you acquire them (Living ship, Crashed ships and Golden Vector), have this because their initial method of obtaining requires the price to be 0 to acquire them in their fashion.

However the other ships are all ones you start a game with, which are already spawned in, have a price value of 0, because there is no reason for them to be any value, as they cannot be bought in natural situations, since they're all a unique ship.

Recoloured radiant pillar

The Radiant Pillar has a side effect of this bug.

By doing this bug, you actually buy back a slightly different radiant pillar, with a different colour set.

seen here --> Radiant Pillar alt

Slightly unsure why this happens, but it's cool.

I personally don't like the alt colours but maybe someone else does :D

Good Ways to Engage in PvP? [Question]

So I agree with the general consensus here that PvP is not really the intent of this game, however, I also feel like some good shitty/trolling/antagonistic interaction between players does make the universe feel more “real” instead of just interacting with a bunch of NPC’s who stand around and talk about wars but just kind of stare blankly into space. If there are this many shitbags on Earth, then entire galaxies are sure to be filled with them, and I want a little more of a challenge than an endless string of “mostly harmless” outlaws.

Is there any outlet or area or sector or something where it’s considered fair play to just be a shit to other players? Or at least to engage in PvP?

Ways to seek out Combat? [Question]

I really wanna get back into No Man's Sky, but the lacking of combat always drags me down. Normally I don't care but honestly it would make the game way more interesting to me to be able to sometimes actually fight, as well as maybe even having to be a little more scared to fight (thinking survival or even permadeath) I don't have much experience and I know they added Settlement Defense, though Im not sure how often that can occur. What are other ways I can seek out combat situations in game? Either in ship or on ground.

On a side note thats not important really, has anyone seen VR players in game recently? Do we still look ridiculous ALL the time, or? If I remember right our bodies normally face the wrong way from where we're walking, or our arms are facing.

So wait how do saving and multiplayer even work [Question]

New here, apologies if this gets asked a lot. Point me at something if it already exists.

I would love to understand the dirty details of how this game's save/sync system works. I have never seen a game that both has a "save" button and a "multiplayer" button at the same time. It's very confusing why I would need to "share" a save file with friends when attempting to play with them.

I understand the game is procedurally generated and fucking massive, so there's not some server that has a database of every single voxel on every planet. However, at some point, something like that does have to exist; players modify the world and then it's the same for others that visit. My own "save" can seemingly get out of sync with some source-of-truth from the server.

Basically, I would like to know: What is the difference between single player and multiplayer? What specifically does the game do differently when I pick one mode or another? What gets saved online, and what doesn't? If my Xbox died, how much would be gone? If I invited friends to my "save", and then continued to play on single-player later, would they see changes I made if they also continued to play on single player? Can we ever sync back up?

I'm a software developer so feel free to get technical. Honestly I assume that my background is actually just making this harder to understand since I have a set idea of how things should work.

Wondering about building... [Discussion]

First off, I absolutely love this game. Been at it for 200+ hours. So many people in this community have built amazing bases, and other very impressive constructs, but with the limitations of in-game mechanics, why? I understand farms, as they produce reults. Other builds, no purpose. Yeah, it looks great, but... Nobody will ever see it unless you post coordinates or screenshots online. Ok, you built a really cool looking bar or cafe. There are no game mechanics in place to make it functional. There is no staff to serve you. You built a mansion, or massive complex of a base. Can you even lie down in the purely cosmetic bed, and does the game even have a sleep mechanic? There are no NPCs living their digital lives there, or other players there enjoying it as a functional building. They only serve as shelter from storms, and have cosmetic value. The settlements added in Frontiers are useless. The NPCs just run around not doing anything. (Defend your town from the sentinels, you twats!) Most buildings are also either empty, or unmanned if they do have interiors. The most I have seen NPCs do is dance by a jukebox. Surely there is more on the table than this as far as settlements go. Mine is S class, roughly 50 citizens, built all available buildings, productive, and largely ignored after discovering I spent so much time building a big nothing. I have imagination... I enjoyed Lego as a kid, amd I loved the SIMS years ago (they actually did stuff). Just wondering why we have these options if they don't actually do anything?

Can't access captain's room after defending freighter and told to come aboard for reward, blocked in corridor [Bug]

Hi all,

I'm loving NMS so much after sleeping on it for too long and playing it for a day on Xbox One X. I didn't experience any bugs other than some seldom slow frame rates. However, I just defended a freighter from hostiles and was asked to board to collect a reward. When I try to walk down the corridor to the room the captain is in, the game pushes me to the right and then acts like there's an invisible wall there. Is there anything I can do?

How about PG sentinels? [Discussion]

So I understand that for lore reasons, it is makes sense that sentinels are all identical. What with them being self-replicating and all that. And there are at least a couple of different types of drone sentinels.

But imagine for a moment! Every planet its its own variation of drone, dog, and walker sentinels. It could nicely tie to the fact that they behave differently from planet to planet and immediately add a layer of variety to them. They needn't be completely different redesigns but different iterations of the same types. Maybe even some different colors, size variation and eye laser placement.

Like, I know it wouldn't change the game mechanically that much. At the same time I see variety like the soul of the game. IDK What da ya feel bout that?

NMS v7.31 Help please. [Question]

No Man's Sky Version 7.31

I started NMS a few days ago and progressed quite a way into the game. When I came across locked chests and doors, I googled Atlas key and find out I'd find it in the very beginning. If I missed it then, I learned I would still get it in the future after talking to Nada/Polo. So I continued to play and managed to talk to Nada & Polo. They didn't give me any keys. I still progressed and atlas missions were unlocked but no key. So I decided there's another save I can use. So I started the game all over again in a new save file. This time I made sure I didn't miss anything. The beacon in the beginning only gave me coordinated to my ship. I still progressed in the new save file and now I'm at a point where I'm asked to install the construction thingy. Set up my base too. I'm pretty sure if I progress further I'll get to talk to Nada & Polo again. Still no keys so far.

When exactly/where will I find the first atlas key that allows me access to locked chests/doors?

Freighter teleport storage access? [Bug]

So I encountered this the other day not sure if it's a bug.

While on a planet and with the materializer on the freighter I can quick send stuff to my storage containers (all built on freighter).

However when the first storage container (0) is full, it doesn't send stuff to the second etc... It just says 0 storage available.

BUT, if I manually drag an item and click over to the tab for another container I can place and pull from there just fine.

It works as expected when I'm ON the freighter... I can just use quick transfer pretty much infinitely and it will automatically iterate to the other storage tabs.

I like playing in creative, I can do whatever without stress and it makes the game very relaxing, but there's little to no sentinel interaction. I wish they would allow this in creative.

Hey guys! I bought this game as soon as I upgraded my PC and I’m absolutely in love with it! I have about 8 hours in game and love visiting new planets.

I still have the beginner multi tool and the beginner ship and I was wondering the best ways to upgrade. Is it best to find a shipwreck and repair it? Or find a new one at a dock and buy it from them? How important are bases other than as waypoints and protection from storms? Any other tips for a brand new player?

Wondering if anyone has had certain planets crash the game for them? My 2 friends and I tried to start the game on multiplayer, they were crashing every 5 minutes and so we went to work trying to fix the issue.

We tried: clean boot - crash disable all antivirus just in case - crash updated all graphics drivers - crash looked at the windows event viewer, indecisive "unknown hang" disabled multiplayer - crash deleted old saves - crash deleted shader cache - crash updated steam shader cache settings - crash verified game files - crash reinstalled game - crash

Someone suggested it may be the planet itself not some other issue. Friend #1 has created a new save on a new planet and so far has not crashed today with multiplayer enabled.

Just wondering if this was magic or indeed some planets cause a crash. Thanks for your help!

Out there thoughts: Could NMS be the true future metaverse? [Discussion]

Ever since No Man's Sky was announced, I've felt the true future potential for the game was beyond just being a game but being an actual platform.

With the addition of true multiplayer, VR on all VR platforms it seems all the pieces are in place.

NMS could be the IRL Oasis from Ready Player One. Each galaxy could be a genre of gaming. Galaxy 2 = sports worlds. Each publisher has a region of space and then could specifically craft solar systems for each game release. Galaxy 3 = racing worlds, Galaxy 4 = FPS, etc.

Yes, there would be a ton more of development and work to be done to do this along w/publishers agreeing on using such as a platform and prob TONS of other technological/technical details that would need to be done. but... i feel it could be possible. Plus, i don't want facebook running the metaverse, i feel HG would do what is right vs what brings profits, etc.

Thoughts?

Noob question. Appreciate feedback. [Question]

I haven't played this game very much since it came out etc... But did download an update maybe 5-6 months ago when I had the internet.

Thank you kindly for any response and hope everyone enjoys their time playing and is doing well.

Keep the original flavor of things [Discussion]

So you know how, when you first start the game, the survival experience is so intense, only to drop off almost the moment you get the ship fixed and in the air? I was wondering if anybody knew of a way to keep that level of difficulty going? I have never used a mod for this game, but it's there one that does this?

Upgrading a Starship Class? [Question]

I have an A class fighter that I have upgraded a bunch. If I pay nanites to upgrade its class to S, what will change? From what I have read, the maximum number of technology slots will go from 14 to 21 and the maximum number of inventory slots will go from 40 to 48.

Is all of this true and does anything else happen?

Modded for a better VR experience, looking for guidance [Question]

I'm currently using a modular version of the mod "Clean HUD and Roomscale VR" but ran into an issue both in VR and the Regular version of NMS.

I just need help identifying what type of setting could be causing this overwhelming brightness. Here is a screenshot taken from the Non-VR version of NMS running on my desktop with and without the mod.

https://imgur.com/a/rbjLuVu

In the picture I took above, what exactly is wrong? Is this Bloom, Brightness, some kind of LensFlair? I'm trying to identify what type of setting this is so that I can maybe use another mod to adjust it. Even with this issue, it's still a better experience using this mod so I'm hoping to find a solution. Any tips?

Here is a list of the modular version of his mod that I am using.

Atlas path bug, again [Question]

Hello community. I though this bug was repaired but how i can see, it wasnt. So i started atlas path some time ago, found all blueprints for seed and make it to the last station. Then i realized that i dont have indium in inventory so i paused this mission. After some time that mission dissapeared from my mission log. I though it will come back if i will ask polo again for atlas cords. Yea it wont. So i decided to search that last station. Im still not sure if it was last one but i found it. I made heart of the sun, put in there and nothing happend after that. I got cut scene with nothing remain just orb and option just leave. So i thought i should do black hole mission to unlock rewards. I went for cords, did hole jump. Again nothing happend, went again to last atlas station repeat process and still nothing. Any help/ solution for this? Thanks

So much potential. [Suggestion]

I got this game at a discount on steam and after 150h playing I love it. If somehow I lose this game I would buy it at full price instantly. You know all the strengths and weaknesses of the game and to avoid writing a wall of text explaining I will just write what I think will make this game more amazing. Instead by adding content that splits the current game just build on the strengths that it already has and connect everything in a horizontal progression. How i imagine this can be done: the traveler needs to build a research station in his base where he builds and researches equipment and special ship modules. The process of creating those items should require obtaining resources from every aspect of the game (fusion ignitors, stasis devices, settlement unique items, derelict freighter items, old archaeological artifacts, etc, etc). The goal?: To modify your ship and multitool not to become stronger in the current game world, but to enable the ship to do specific roles. Instead of hoarding ships just for the looks, you can modify each to fulfill a specific role, the same goes for the extra multitools. This needs the creation of an environment and rewards where those ships/equipment can be used so u justify and incentify the players to build them. In the science fiction world, there are so many inspirations like for example you find a Dyson sphere or a huge derelict colonization spaceship that have its defenses active and u need to fight off the drones and turrets and scan for an entry point with your specialized ship than hack doors, reprogram turrets, etc. I feel the best rewards can be cosmetics and base building stuff, something unique worth grinding for. Also, implement r/NMSCoordinateExchange ingame. Sorry, i tried to compress this text as much but of the love for the game i kinda wanted to just throw my idea in the "internets".

Wouldn't it be cool to have a base visit counter? [Suggestion]

I love seeing people post about their awesome bases, but there isn't really a way to know if people are actually visiting. There is no way to tell someone that I happened on their base and thought it was really cool. It'd be cool if there was maybe a message board or at least foot traffic counter. Has this been tried or suggested?

Exocrafts feel useless [Discussion]

Does anyone else think the exocrafts could use a huge buff? They are all ridiculously slow and their mounted attachments are not much stronger than the multi tool. The Minotaur turns super slowly and has a max on-foot speed of 4 u/s. None of the mining lasers actually mine once you leave the exocraft and the laser is still on. I just feel like they need a big buff in order to be viable for anything. I want to like them because they are a great idea but I just don’t. Do any of you guys actually find them useful?

How is the Ps4 (pro) experience right now? [Question]

Hello, I have the game since day 1 but never played it. I saw many many updates for the game. Knew that had bugs all along so my very questions are those: Im playing on a ps4 pro 1) can I allways play offline? 2) are crashes still a thing and there is stuff to avoid them happen? 3) otherwise freeze or experience breaking bugs are solved? 4) How to you save the game? 5) which difficulty should I play to get challenge but not as frustrating?

Proposal for a solution of the "6 Companions" problem [Discussion]

Hey people i want to know what you think of this:

Lots of us want to have more than 6 companions,but not because we use all of them all the time. IMO its because we want a way to 'save' the strange creatures we find in the Galaxy, correct me if i'm wrong.

My idea would be to implement a buildable base part; Either something like the species/creature container glass-things in derelict freighters. Players can put in one companian and it is 'frozen' in there as a small version of itself.

At best the player could pick it up again, but probably its easier to implement if the player could not. I'm thinking Marvels 'The Collector' style here.

Or, a small zoo like area. A place with fences around as one big buildable. Again, the player drops in the companions, and sees them walking around in the fenced area. We probably could not interact with them and only build one per base, to drop in like 3-5 companions so it doesnt get to complicated. I would still be happy with it.

Multiplayer issues (Xbox) [Question]

I am having issues with multiplayer on xbox one.

My GF and I have been playing together on separate Xboxes on the same network and multiplayer works fine for us for a while until we get too far apart, warp to a different system, or use a teleporter. After we fast travel we are still in each other's group but we no longer see each other, sometimes we see places that we tag but it is lagged and doesn't show up right away. After we teleport one or both of us gets the "matchmaking service unavailable" error when we open up the multiplayer menu.

I went to go set up port forwarding and realized you can't do that with separate devices though the same port (might be the issue). I noticed that IPv6 was disabled on my router so I went ahead and set that up because you shouldn't have to mess around with port forwarding on IPv6 right?

After setting up IPv6 on my router it seemed to be a bit more stable and we played together for a few hours before one of us lost connection. I was wondering if anyone else has this issue or has something I should try.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

(yes we both have xbox live, and I already confirmed the xbox privacy settings are not restricting us)

A few questions about this game. [Question]

Hello, I am almost new to this game and a good person on the other subreddit suggested me this page and I got a few questions about this game. I am sorry if some of those questions were already have been discussed.

Is there any way to get advantage of the harsh environment? Like using high temperature to run a thermal generator or boost the solar panel through the sunlight in hotter planet.

I was on my way back from Anomaly and experienced an earthquake inside of that place. I also could hear the constant bubble sound of underwater as well. I got scared so I took the ship and got back to my base. Is it a normal thing?

If I create a tech and put it in the 'general' slot, not in the 'technology' slot, is that technology ineffective? Because I have very small space in my inventory but there are tons to collect.

I had lvl 2 of Standing with Vy'keen but I cancelled the contract a lot of times so it got back to lvl 1. Is there any other way to increase the standing easily?

Does a companion die from age or enemy attack? My first beetle was already 'old' as soon as I got him and I feel like looking at him like a time bomb.

What are those traits like height, personality, obedience of companions? Do they affect their fighting ability or something?

Is it possible to cross-breed two different species?

I disposed the Hypnotic Eye because the description on that item was kinda scary. Is there any kinds of items I should not carry for a long time?

What does the yellow question mark on the herbivore's head mean after I give food to one of them?

I have one base and hired two overseers. Where did the first one go? Will he automatically be assigned in my next base?

Is my base indestructible? Or should I prevent any kinds of threats harming my base?

Thank you ahead of time.

You are awesome 😆.

Shortcut to Anomaly - Bug? [Bug]

Just today I started a new normal game. Not sure how I did it, but here was the sequence.

I was lucky and spotted a minor settlement near where I was supposed to get the hermetic seal. I went there instead. In the main building I picked up a navigation data from the table. In the side building where you would normally get nanites it gave me the seal in lieu of the marked location on the map (I have encountered this before).

I had ALREADY repaired the launch thruster before I went to get the seal. Because of this I could use the nav. data to summon my ship to the pad at the settlement. I repaired and got in the ship (and hopped out to save), and then took off. As I usually do, I immediately pulled up the 'X' menu (on PC) to switch to chase view on the ship. That is when I saw that the 'return to anomaly' icon was available?!?

Selected the icon and BOOM. At the anomaly getting lootz from rando's and grabbing Expedition rewards in literally less than an hour of save start.

My quest log is still at 'leave the planet'.

interactions [Question]

I have been lurking and trying to get a sense of what my experience will be if I dive into this game. It will be my first game of this type for sure.

I've played stuff like WoW and Destiny but I have a feeling this will be diff for sure.

Am I going to be interacting with a ton of folks outside of the hub spots etc? If any of you come from WoW, like outside of Orgrimmar will there be like The Barrens and Strangelthorn Vale? I think I am ultimately looking for a casual MMO-like experience (to say the least, Destiny and WoW get a little involved) with some consistent level of interaction online. Not that I need to be in a guild or a raid group etc but I like little random interactions in a online world.

Been tracking steam numbers on it but have been unable to find console numbers and the active players seem pretty good for a game made in 2016 with all its ups and down etc so I am looking forward to watching some streams and researching more.

thanks y'all

How can I tell which space station I just teleported from? Help, I'm lost! [Question]

Hey all - I'm about 130 hours into NMS and have made significant progress warping toward the center of the universe. I needed to drop some items off at one of my bases where I have a cargo container (my frigate was full), so I teleported to it from a space station.

The problem is that I failed to note the name of the space station I teleported from, and now I cannot find my way back.

When I go to the teleporter from my base, I get a list of space stations: https://imgur.com/a/V8aDwjb

But none of them say "last location" or any other note that would help me figure out where I came from. Any idea in what order the stations appear by default in that list? I.e. would Zawara be the last station I visited since it's first on the list?

Also, is there any way I can easily find out the name of the station I'm teleporting FROM when I'm in it, without exiting the station and re-entering it?

I'm trying to avoid losing all my progress and having to re-travel from a very far away location. Any help here would be appreciated! Thanks!

Various Living Ships Available - Skip the 5+ day Starbirth Mission [Discussion]

I see a lot of requests for void eggs and understand that many people find the Starbirth mission tedious because of the various time gates imposed. So I've collected a handful of ships with different colors and components that I can trade with players, allowing one to skip the quest altogether.

If you see one you like then you're welcome to it. Let me know and we can arrange to meet up.

I am working on a lore and I want to know what do you think ? [Question]

I want to create a backstory for my interloper with mysterious origins and a complex understanding of the universe and I want to know if people would be interested in following its logs ?

It would be a lone traveller that wants to keep the universe safe from dangerous forces that also makes up the universe it travels in (the Atlas). By realising that, it can only do so much to keep himself and other travelers safe. It keeps logs of any encounters with worlds, travellers and settlements it made. Along its journey, by aiding travellers, it seeks the line of code that got it born.

The only thing it knows about its origin is a word it understood and felt from the atlas when it asked about its birth. "Googolplex." Although this word seemed like some gibberish it couldn't understand, the way it felt when the Atlas spoke it made it a profound need of seeking the meaning of it.

Tell me if you would be interested in me developing the lore of this interloper

Safe travels, interlopers

I think most would agree that base lighting is a challenge. So I'd love to hear suggestions, tips or tricks on how to improve lighting. Links to other posts or tutorials are welcome as well. [Discussion]

The NMS community has become one of the most helpful and useful resources we have. There's so many things I've learned from tutorials, videos and posts that I couldn't list them all if I tried.

But while you can find tons of help on nearly every aspect of the game, improving base lighting isn't one of them. I'm hoping we can begin to change that. I know I'm not the only one that it would benefit.

I'm sure others already knew this, but my contribution is using the Candelabra Bloom. Of all the base lights offered, it seems the candelabra provides the broadest, and brightest lighting.

Unfortunately, since we can no longer turn the candelabra upside down, it can only be used on floors or pieces of furniture. But since I've learned wire glitching, I've found that's one way it can still be flipped. It takes a lot of practice though.

There's been so many new things added to NMS that I don't want to sound ungrateful, but of all the improvements, base lighting continues to be subpar. Please share any techniques or tricks you may have learned. Thank you.

Need help identifying planets with a blue atmosphere [Question]

A couple of weeks ago, a user posted a thread about identifying a planet's atmosphere color by looking at the outside "halo". A couple of posts stated for this to work, we had to be close to the planet.

The information hasn't been working out for me.

I reread the post again and happened to notice a few comments talking about "color shifting planets", and this is what I believe I'm seeing.

I also believe the influence of color isn't due to the system sun color, but all the sun colors around the system as well.

In almost all pictures I've seen of blue sky planets, I also see 3 colors of 3 suns: red, blue, and green.

This is leading me to believe these 3 sun colors combine to give the atmosphere its color, so a "yellow" sky will be yellow.

Take away any of the 3 colors, and it changes regardless of the halo.

I'm still validating this (just started this last night after being frustrated landing on yet another "blue" auro planet only to see the sky turn red), but was curious if anyone else has already figured this out.

As an aside: I'm not looking for a paradise planet. Already have one of those. I'm looking for the perfect desert planet I had in my first game (now deleted).

I found one last night and was so excited, I started a base only to see the sun come up and ruin it with yet another red sky.

Honestly, I wouldn't mind a different color sky, but this game renders red and purple skies like garbage. Look up and it's like someone threw up frothy Koolaid or something. And those bleeds... ack! Make it stop!

Sorry. Any insight will be greatly appreciated. I just want to reduce the grind just a little bit, and if I can identify a planet sky color by the outlier stars + aura.... that's a few minutes...

How are tech bonuses applied? [Question]

My starship has a base hyperdrive of 156.9 ly. If I install an upgrade module of 205 ly, my total range goes up to 476.5 ly. This is without an adjacency bonus.

I can find no calculation that would bring me to that number. Anyone know how this works exactly?

Got another question [Question]

So earlier I posted about me and a friend experiencing different weather on the same planet. This question however, is related to music. So my buddy just built a base with no byte beats or anything. He has a teleport and galactic terminal. The floor those two things are on has music. Like lobby (bank or some shit) music playing. We thought it might be the terminal, but when I go to my base I don't hear any music and I have a terminal among many other things all on one floor. Where is the music coming from?

When Should the Next Patch Drop? [Question]

Hey all!

I'm waiting on the next patch for NMS in the hope's it will fix a game breaking bug I'm currently experiencing, so I was just wondering if anyone had any idea when the next patch is likely to be released?

I'm also wondering if I should do the new Expedition whilst I wait, though I don't know how much more time is left in that and I don't want to start it and be unable to finish.

Thanks!

Tip for mining with nasty sentinels around [Information]

When mining around attentive sentinels, dig a hole with your Terrain Manipulator alongside the deposit. Get down in the hole. Then mine the deposit without interference. I came up with this on my own, so I'm glad to share.

Managing Multiple Ships? Please Help! [Question]

Hello! Super newb here, only about 50 hours...I think I need help understanding how to manage multiple starships. I bought another starship because it was stronger and had more slots than my current one, I didnt trade it I just bought it thinking I can add it to the collection while swapping items and tech back and forth between each ship. Is this possible? Am I able to dismantle tech from the old ship and install it in the new one, or do I have to repurchase and install all of these upgrades for the newly bought ship? I forgot to load these items from ship to ship during the price negotiation screen.

I am also confused on where these newly ships go when purchased. I received a capital ship from defeating some pirates, is this the ship that I can store my "fleet" on? Because, I cant find the ships I own on this capital ship. The only time I see my other ship is when I dock at a space station, the other owned ship is already docked when I get out of the other ship.

Just trying to figure out if I have to grind all new specs on this newly purchased ship, was hoping I can just move stuff over without wasting more nanites. I also noticed this new ship has more regular slots, but like half the tech slots from my other ship. Thank you in advance!

Lost Ship... [Question]

So I answered a distress beacon and found a (busted) ship!. I repaired the pulse drive, thrusters, etc. But had to travel a little (in my other ship) to mine metal to repair the shields, and in the process I got turned around and... lost it.

To make matters worse, I then flew REALLY far away thinking I could summon it at one of those stations (and found out you can only summon the ship you're currently flying). So is it gone for good? I mean, there's not only the repairs I made and the units I can get for selling/salvage, but I also stored some (valuable) things on it as I needed room for it's repair parts, so I'd REALLY like to get it back if at all possible.

First person ship aesthetic features. [Suggestion]

First person warp. Would be really awesome if that was a feature, like how we can switch between first and third person ship views. Would love to warp and have a view from my ship, freighters too.

Could we use our arms to actually use the acceleration lever thing and that joy stick inside our ships? Or whatever seemingly operable part you see inside your ship? People in VR have that function, would like to see it added to non-VR versions.

Seems a bit odd that I can't even see myself inside the ship and it's just a camera inside a cockpit you know.

Just made 33K nanites with food made from a single Bio Dome of Fungal Mold - and how that compares to ship scrapping [Information]

So I started a new Permadeath save after my previous PD save grief period ended and I wanted to try different ways of doing things. There's a nice cooking guide that I read a few years ago if anyone's interested. TLDR at the end

https://www.reddit.com/r/NoMansSkyTheGame/comments/g4fynb/lazy_cooking_for_nanites_guide_updated/

So the simplest way is using 200 fungal mold and turn them into 50 delicious vegetable stew with at least 4 nutrient processors. I built 16 so I could get it done faster (4 full runs at a time). Total harvest from the bio dome was 1296 fungal mold that became 324 delicious vegetable stews.

With 55k nanite I went to the anomaly and gave them all for Chronos to taste and now I'm at 88k nanites, 33k richer than before. It takes 20 minutes for the whole cooking process to happen from fungal to stew, so I spent around 40 minutes as it took me 2 runs on the 16 nutrient processors. The first part is a very chill thing to do - fill the processors and wait. I took my time to read a nice book in the intervals of filling processors. There's also mods that makes refining and cooking instant, so that'd save a lot of time for PC players.

The second part is giving it to Chronos and that is too repetitive. Took me some 25 minutes to give it all to him and I paused at every 1/3 of the way because it was very boring. I spent an hour scrapping A class cheap ships (eventually s classes too) and while I got a little more nanites and lost some cash it wasn't as tedious as giving him all that stuff. But considering that the first part you're relatively "free" to do other stuff, it goes like 25 minutes of super boringness against an hour of regular boringness so it still is a better...

NMS future updates that should happen [Suggestion]

Even though there are alot of things in NMS i feel like there should be more PVE, like creatures that attack you at night, pirate outposts that you can raid for good loot, or even bosses that can only spawn once per system that are difficult to kill but give high reward like an exclusive item that you can only get by killing the bosses and depending on the planet it will be a different boss with different attacks for example in a cold planet it would be a icy boos that could freeze you or slow you down, and with those exclusive items you can trade them in for exosuit abilities that when attacked will effect the attacker with a ability, give an element to your multi tool or upgrade anything and turn it better than an S class and give it a new class like Z class.

What Else To Do? [Suggestion]

Hello fellow Travelers! So I have over 400 hours into this game and really do love it. I’m starting to get bored though.

Any suggestions on what else to do? I am slowly making my way through the different galaxies. I have 1.4 billion units and nothing to spend it on. Missions are boring and dull for the most part.

Help!

#

Anyone open to inviting me to some of the different galaxies? [Question]

I've currently got bases in Euclid, Eissentam, Elkupalos, Aptarkaba, Ontiniangp. If you have a base in some of the other galaxies, I would love an invite (so much easier than needing to get to the central sun and then repair all my gear). I would be happy to offer the same exchange if you want to setup a base in one of the above galaxies.

Also happy to offer you some resources if you are in need.

I usually don't have a playstation plus membership but decided to do it for this month.

My psn name is: zed111zed

Any tips for someone new to this whole “Activated Indium” thing? [Question]

I’ve been playing on-and-off since December 2016, and I’m just now getting around to trying all these unit-making methods everyone’s been talking about. I mainly have the following questions:

I have found an Activated Indium deposit, however it is only C class. A search I made awhile ago mentioned that anything below A class was never worth it. However, I am not wanting to make billions in a short time, just wanting to eventually reach something like 300 million to make it easier for me to get a big freighter. Should I stick with it or find a better hotspot?

What is the best way to power these big farms? I heard something a long time ago about each hotspot being in a sort of triangle formation, with one bordering side likely to always be an electromagnetic hotspot, however I’ve had no such luck yet (though it’s been difficult to search). Should I construct hundreds of solar panels or keep searching?

Since the game was patched to have several mineral extractors in the same location give a lower yield, is it better to spread them out? Or keep stacking them?

Alternatively if anyone could direct me to a pre-existing post that answers all these questions, that would be great.

How do I get the Gek Cartographer to help me finish the Patterns In Time mission? [Question]

Hi all,

I'm trying to progress through the Patterns In Time mission. The next step it is telling me to do is to find a Gek system and speak to a Gek Cartographer. I found a Gek system on my journey, went to the Space Station, and spoke to the Cartographer, but he only give me "Ask For Help", Purchase a Random Map, or browse existing maps (can't recall the exact words in the prompt).

I looked it up and apparently I'm supposed to do 2 Gek-specific missions in that system. I did this (in fact I completed 4 Gek missions), but when I go back to the Cartographer, it's always the same prompts.

Not sure if it helps, but when I ask for help, he talks about going to retrieve data from towers and the conversation ends, and that is not what I want. Also, I have the Patterns In Time mission selected.

Any help would be much appreciated! I know I'm probably doing something basic wrong, just need to figure out what. Thanks so much!

Btw, I'm playing this on a PS4, and the game is fully updated if that helps.

Landing pad on my frigates is no longer activating the green landing ring. Cannot land no matter what I do. Anyone else experiencing this? PS5 Normal. [Answered]

When attempting to land on my frigates the last few months I have been completely unable to. I used to be able to just fine and would do so just to explore or to skydive onto a planet from low orbit. Now I cannot land on any of my frigates at all and one has become damaged from missions so it is a bit frustrating not being able to fix it. Anyone else experiencing this? Anyone know a hotfix?

Cannot switch yaw to the keyboard and roll to mouse.

Nothing is more infuriating than having a game with its own control set that is not customizable. Please implement this, it would make the game feel 100x better.

Advice on naming scheme for stars/planets [Discussion]

I’m wanting to add a tag to stars/planets so they are easy to identify. Something practical and short I can add to the pre-generated names.

I am aware of some naming conventions used by certain groups in the community.

Please give suggestions.

Stars: (Species/Economy/Conflict) Possible Additions: Star Color, Galaxy, Region, Number of Planets/Moons?

Planet: (Biome/Hazards/Resources/Sentinels)

Example:

Star System - Yellow Star(Y) - Euclid Galaxy(Euclid) - Region A(Region A) - 2 Planets/2 Moons(2P2M) - Vy’keen(V) - 3 Star Trading Economy(Tr3) - 1 Star Conflict Level(C1)

Tag Example: V-Tr3-C1 Star System

PSA: Organize Your Tech [Discussion]

This may be fairly common knowledge, but I only just recently learned it 100 hours in so I’ll bring it up. If you install tech upgrades for the same tool or feature next to each other in inventory, you get bonuses towards their effects. The most efficient shape you can go for is a square, followed by a rectangle, so always try to get as close to those shapes as possible.

Also, for the ship and exosuit, even though the upgrade limit for one type of tech is 3 (not including blueprint upgrades), you can use that limit in both the main and tech inventory tab for a total of 6.

Since settlements came out I haven't seen anyone, especially in the builders community make the attempt at constructing a fully domed enclosure of a settlement using glitch methods or otherwise.

What's the best way to sweep through systems and explore quickly? [Question]

So I want to find two planets that are really close together, almost joined but still separate. Maybe just like a planet with a really close moon or something. I know that people have found joined planets so it's definitely possible, but I was sorta wondering what the best way to find this sort of thing was?

I understand that it'd take hours upon hours and it's not like I'd just keep looking and looking, it would be something I just looked for on the side while doing other things. I pretty much want them to be joined though since I want to be able to make one building that reaches the build limit on each planet and join them together. Aside from what the best way to look for this sort of thing is, how long would it probably take?

Returning player - want to settle on a paradise planet but worry about finding a better one later [Question]

I played NMS way back before the expansions and have returned to find myself a bit confused on what to do next! there's much cool stuff to do! However I'm having a really tough time catching up to all the changes.

My primary goal is to find a paradise planet to settle on permanently (and glyphs for travel), but I keep worrying about investing a ton of time and resources on base structures/settlements, only to find a better one later on and then have to move all my shit. I found a cool paradise moon last night, but it doesn't hold a candle to what other players have found so I'm inclined to keep looking. But I am running out of inventory space. My ship is "decent" but I don't wanna waste too much time looking for a ship upgrade since grinding for cash is boring.

Any advice out there on what some good "next moves" should be?

Voting interface:

Top is the current most voted for Top of all time are contestants that previously won the vote New is self explanatory Random picks a random contestant to look at You can view/visit any contestants

Events:

POTM: Planet Of The Month

When uploading a planet it will be registered to the voting room for POTM. Most of the events for POTM will have a theme, for example: mysterious, lush seas, lively nights. Cape rewards are visual effects Cape reward examples: ice at bottom of cape, vines wrapping around, luminescence, water ripple effect, trails

SOTW: Ship Of The Week

Nearly the same concept as POTM, but ships. Will have themes, but not as often. Themes may include: military, first spawn, vibrance. Cape rewards are styles or shapes, along with decals Cape reward examples: triangle, torn, short, wave, decals

I also had ideas about a byte beat, character design, and base vote, but don't know any rewards yet.
