Addition idea: gas stations. [Suggestion]

High economy systems will have small dockable gas station near space stations. Design will mostly resemble support frigate with minor changes. Docking will pull out trade interface where you can buy warp cells, frigate fuel, launch fuel and pyrite (or tritium?) at unreasonably high prices yet huge stick (mostly suitable for late game players).

How many farms does everyone have? [Discussion]

I've made three so far in the last week lol. Two in Euclid and one in Eissentam for Activated Indium.

Are there any other "farms" that are passive and can help with resources/money? I'm only 40 hours in and I'm still learning new things all the time.

So, I had a super vivid dream about a No Man's Sky x Warframe crossover. Here's how it worked. [Discussion]

(Note: I don't know much about the story of NMS. I'm loving it so far, though.)

The whole update was fantastic for NMS. It brought a new kind of pretty rare moon, a "lua moon", which had a special layout, rare minerals, and most of all... a special structure called a "Reservoir". The Reservoir held crates of artifacts, nanites, credits, resources... you name it; it really was lucrative.

There was just one issue: If you took anything from the Reservoir, a new enemy would emerge to attack you. This enemy, named "Stalker", would be both fast and pretty damn tough to take down. They would be able to temporarily disable your jetpack module, parts of your weapon, among other nasty effects to make running away from the Stalker incredibly difficult. If you did make it out of there, though... it'd be worth what you just took from the Stalker's abode.

On top of the new moon type, we would also get a good helping of nifty cosmetics, a special weapon or two, and one of Warframe's companions - a choice between a Sentinel, or a Kubrow/Kavat of some kind, to accompany travellers on their journey. While the animal would be a nice companion, the Sentinel had a good bit of witty banter and personality, much like Ordis from Warframe.

On the Warframe side, we get a new warframe, plain and simple. The ranged fighter with a passion for exploration - Artemis. Featuring an Exalted Bow and elemental arrows, alongside a handy rifle and pistol multi-tool as their two signature weapons, Artemis leaped across the battlefield and took down unaware targets with ease. Not quite a stealth frame, but certainly one that could blaze through an extermination map like it was nothing.

You would get this frame by intercepting a distress signal at the orbiter - a strange alien lifeform would show themselves, and start pleading to you in an...

Space Anomaly Blueprints. [Question]

Do the blueprints that are offered for unlocking ever change on the space anomaly? Also does anyone have any ideal multi tool setups for the different scans and weapons? I also am curious what the maximum possible for a plant and animal scan. That is how I like spending my time and make most of my units for now. Might as well maximize my time while doing what I enjoy.

How can I get explorers standing for expedition milestone? [Question]

I'm trying to complete the explores guild standing milestone but I can't find any missions to get the standing. The ones I do find require a higher standing but obviously I can't do that if I can't find the missions. Anyone know any other ways to get the standing?

I’m absolutely in love with this game but something happened and I’m unsure if I can ever pick it up again [Question]

I just started this weekend.

I found a damaged ship on a planet in the second solar system I visited.

I claimed it. I repaired the launch but not the hyperdrive, so I flew it over to where I parked my original ship and I made a save beacon so I could find the damaged ship again and then I flew back to my first solar system where my base is so I could farm and buy the modules I need to repair the other ship.

I was so excited. Like what Hello Games want you to feel when you’ve struck a hoard of treasure and you’re just so close to having it be yours.

So I got the things I needed, come back to the second solar system, go to the save beacon.

And the ship is gone.

I claimed it, doesn’t that mean anything? I don’t even have anything on the hud to indicate where it is.

I’m so bleak. What’s the point of bothering now? The thing looked a bit like my first one but it had a shit ton of space and damaged modules and one was the third tier launch system.

So my question is, am I a chopstick and I’ve overlooked something obvious, like a list of claimed ships, or am I missing something?

Has this happened to anyone?

New player question: Am I missing story content if Expedition 1 is my only saved game? [Question]

Owned No Man’s Sky for awhile but hadn’t played it beyond toying around with VR. Recently got to a point where I was looking to start a new video game and seeing this timed Expedition with a great ship as a reward gave me the push I needed.

Enjoying Expedition 1 so far. May not be able to finish it all in time but either way I was wondering, should I just make this my default game save going forward after the Expedition is over?

From what I can tell the constant rewards really speed progression up and give you great gear in a short amount of time. That said, am I missing core story elements that can only be found in starting a proper new game? If not, I’d imagine I’m saving some time on grinding if I just continue from my Expedition 1 save since I don’t have any other saves to go back to anyway.

Thanks in advance.

I Give Up, Expendition Explorers Guild REp [Question]

New Player Question regarding max Ships, Golden Vector [Question]

Hi, one quick question regarding max ship number and the golden verctor.

Iam aware that i can have a max number of 6 ships, if i take the golden vector from the anomaly and get rid of it in some way, trade it, scrap it or something else, am i able to get it again from the anomaly on the same safe?

Right now i always get that annoying message when iam in the anomaly to "get it".

For context, iam running low on ship space, two exotics and two fighters i really like alot, iam going to scrap a bit in the next weeks and dont want only 1 ship space during that.

sorry for the bad english

Help with discovering stellar systems [Question]

Hello, if you have a min to read

I'm a bit knowledgeable about the game, and currently i am doing the re-launched expedition 1, really fun so far, but i am struggling with finding a new star system, since most of them are already discovered and none of my ships/freighter have upgraded hyperdrives

Would using something like the Emergency Warp mod or using a Black-hole guarantee I'll spawn in a undiscovered system?

(Now i understand that i should be searching myself, and i am, but i want to stream the experience, so just wasting time creating warp cells/hypercores just to eventually find it would be a bit too boring, also can't progress without cadmium engines)

Until then, see y'all in the Anomaly :)

Powering straight corridors [Question]

Can we get some more layers added to economics, conflict, and fleets? [Suggestion]

I bought this game recently and I am fucking addicted. However, after playing ~30 hours (not much I know) I really hope they thoroughly expand the features in the title in the next update, or 4.0 whenever that comes along.

Idk if it's because I am still early game, but anytime I have seen pirates attack a fleet I come across its like 3 ships max. It'd be cool to see a pack of 20 or so pirate ships show up and actually go at it with a fleet. I know it sort of goes against the size of the game itself, but I was also really hoping there'd be a few highly-populous systems or specific highlighted systems for us interlopers so maybe I could, you know, land on another players frigate and buy items from a shop they run and leave a little message for them or something. Or maybe I could actually take my frigate and fleet on a conflict-related mission and escort a bunch of traders or something.

Just spit-balling but in general it would be great to see more depth and complexity added to economics and conflict, and hopefully incorporate frigates/fleets into it.

"The Migrant Fleet" Roleplay - Looking for Friends [Suggestion]

Hello there travelers!

I am a fairly new guy with 35 hours into the game and I gotta say its pretty fun, exciting despite my initial fears of the procedual generation becoming too repetitive.

I bough this game from a second hand store and oh boy was it worth it! I am in love with every aspect of it and the sheer size of the galaxy insipred me to create my own roleplay group and now I am looking for new wholesome friends to play and roleplay with!

Here is what I was thinking:

In character, we are a bunch of people tasked to explore the furthers corners of our galactic neighborhood and the job being to go as far as possible while documenting our discoveries, roleplaying events and incidents. Everyone would have the freedom to create their own character sheet and be part of the new roleplay group.

Q: What kind of roleplay will we be doing? A: All sorts to be quite honest. You can do the roleplay in any way you like. Personally, I am a big fan of speculatice biology so I will be spending my time researching and surveying foreign worlds when also writing roleplay papers about them (not roleplaying by voice). Speculating about the biology and evolution but also collaborating with other roleplayers on this matter.

Interested? Let me know! I hope you are because I gotta admit this vast galaxy is pretty lonely.

Expedition milestones - Chart Waypoints and Discover Abandoned System [Question]

I have 3 milestones left, these are the two that I can not make progress on - I've googled and used the game logs to figure it out, but I'm still having trouble

Chart Waypoints

I bought coordinates from cartographer, and aslo asked him to help me find things, non of the two made progress. Should I exchange for specific chart from him, or how do I do this?

Discover Abandoned System

THe game says Red and (green I think? i cant remember but did the colors it said) are more likely to contain abandoned systems. I have an economy scanner installed, and looked for systems with "no data" for economy and race - did about 10 systems of reds and the other color (10 total)

I did read that a conflict scanner makes it way easier, but getting the brain for the upgrade seems Like a chore on its own, is there an easy way to do this w/o conflict scanner?

Ghost in the machine, need help [Question]

On Xbox one: Been doing the ghost in the machine quest line. I’m currently on the part where I need to infiltrate the secret Korvax facility. I installed the bolt caster to get through the second door in the facility and tried blasting through and used almost 1000 ammo before realizing it wasn’t going to work at all. So I went to the anomaly to research the atlas pass v2. Once I did that I had to leave the system to find a red star system to get Cadmium. Once I came back to the system I was doing the secret facility on, the quest marker is gone and my custom marker I left to find the facility is gone. I can’t find the facility and can’t proceed in the quest line. Completely stuck. Have tried restarting the game multiple times with no luck.

Any help would be awesome I’m new to the game and have no idea how to find the facility again. It’s driving me crazy!

Having trouble getting explorer's guild standing... [Question]

I'm trying to help my brother get his golden vector, but we're running into some issues for him that I didn't have: Namely, the Famous Explorer (Phase 4) step to get rank 15 of explorer's guild.

I went from station to station, stacked up a cargo hold's worth of "Kill 15 creature" quests, and then wiped it out relatively quickly.

He's not finding explorer's guild missions at all. When he goes to a system / space station, he sees 2-3 faction missions, a mercenaries guild one, and - when he HAS seen explorer's guild - it's rank 6+ and he can't take it yet.

Anyone have any advice I can pass along? Any other way to get guild experience?

PSA: Explorers Guild Standing (pls bump) [Information]

I feel obligated to let everyone know this, because I had no idea and it would’ve saved me some time.

In order to receive low level guild missions (ie Explorers guild), you need to complete one mission for a given race. Once you do a Vykeen mission for instance, when you return to a Vykeen mission agent they will have low level explorers guild missions available etc.

Seems like a lot of people are confused on this and it isn’t clearly stated in game.

I've claimed my Twitch Drops in the past, but I can't claim them on my new expedition? [Question]

So, months ago during those drops, I got them. They worked. I was doing that expedition and claimed my twitch drops in that game. However, during this current expedition, I can claim some of the drops from the "collect expedition rewards" menu, even though they were twitch drop rewards, but they aren't all available. I don't have the rainbow boost or the ships to claim. I don't even have a "claim twitch rewards" menu to select at the quicksilver shop. When I go to my drops on the twitch app, it says connected to my Xbox account, and its for sure the correct account BC, like I just said, I claimed the drops preciously. BUT, when I go to my connections on the twitch website and see the list, No Man's Sky isn't on there. I assume BC it's such a big list they only show so many, but there isn't a "show all" button or anything, so I can't disconnect and reconnect. And I've restarted my game multiple times and its not showing them available. Anyone know what I can do? Is it something with this expedition or what?

People with nicer bases, do you plan them out or just wing it as you build? [Discussion]

Title pretty much. I love these kinda games. Minecraft, Ark, Valheim, Grounded, and NMS all occupy high spots in my library. Thing is, I've always been terrible at base building, I don't think I'm very creative and can't look past just making them functional. Which is funny because there was a period in my life where I was strongly considering going to school for architecture. But yea, I'll come here, see amazing bases, get all inspired, load up the game, and then just freeze when I start trying to build. So yea, I usually just try to wing it but that rarely works out so I might starting with a vision instead of just hoping one comes to me as I build.

Anyways, how do you guys do it? Also, ant tips for anything I just mentioned? Thanks all.

What damage potential should I be looking for in a multi tool? [Question]

Yeah i got a lot of questions today...

My current A class tool (only weapon is a blaze javelin with one S-class mod attached, has a potential of 451. (and a bunch of mining laser mods)

I ran across a pistol-style MT with a boltcaster, no mods, with a potential of 1300.

Is that just the difference between a blaze javelin and a boltcaster? (which seems... odd)

Or is it worth upgrading to that one? I'm having trouble finding an actual definition of what damage potential means, and this is throwing into question what the differences between rifle/pistol even mean (or if it's just cosmetic). Should potential even be a consideration, or just grade? Or slots?

Some words for you all starting Expedition 1. [Discussion]

There's still time to complete it. Depends on how much you play per day, but you can make it in less than 10h without much difficult. Believe me, I'm not an expert and did it in a somewhat short time. First system has a couple of bases with farms. Fellow travellers were very generous. If you are short on time, just go to one of the bases, collect the plants and there it is, you completed the farming milestone. There are also bases to safely collect larval cores. You may find them by their names. A lot of systems in the expedition route are already discovered. You may use the black hole milestone to your benefit. After traveling through a black hole, you'll find yourself in a region with way less discovered systems. (But please, see tip #8). Install in your ship of choice economy and conflict scanner. That's for finding abandoned systems. You may find them just with the economy scanner, but some abandoned systems have some sort of economy -- but no information on conflict. By having both scanners, you just need to find any system tied to a race that lacks conflict or economy and conflict. As soon as you get your freighter, send your frigate into appropriated missions (if you get an explorer, send to exploration missions). Do this as early as you can. You'll have at least two missions with 1h of duration and one with 2h or something. You can also get new frigates and run parallel frigate missions. Probably smart move (but I did the whole milestone with one frigate only lol). Don't ask why. The mission agent in the space stations? Stack two kinds of missions: kill creatures and kill sentinels. As many as you can. Really. If you have 10 missions for killing creatures, ranging from 10-15 creatures each, you only need to kill 15. All missions will be completed. Same for sentinels. This will increase standing with the races and make the whole Explorer milestone easier. There's...

Help me understand Expedition rewards [Question]

Hey guys,

New player here, just started in game. I know I only have a few days left for Expedition 1, but more generally, can someone please tell me if all the procedural rewards you unlock over the course of an expedition are accessible on your "Main" saves on the anomaly, or is it just the "completed expedition" rewards like the Golden Vector, SR2 etc?

Because I'm new it feels a bit overwhelming to learn the game AND rush these achievements. There are lots of YouTube videos detailing how to do it, but right now it looks like the main benefit to the "completed" expedition rewards are cosmetic. Is that right? Or are the rewards somehow "better"? (And not just because they're rare.)

Anyways thanks for the advice.

Hello, I play in VR through steam I don’t know if that makes a difference.

I started rebuilding my very humble base with the new materials and I clip right through them. Most of the useful part of my base is on the second floor and I can only stand on the legacy floors. I fall right through the new materials. Is this a bug? Am I doing something wrong?

I can’t find a place to sell things from my inventory on the anomaly. Is this right?

My jet pack never seems useful. I can’t steer it well and it runs out of fuel in a few seconds. I see video of people toodling around on theirs like fuel is no concern. Do I need to heavily invest in upgrades before it’s useful?

Great urgency [Question]

Hello my fellow space hobos, I have ran into quite the problem that requires great urgency and hopefully answers from people who have finished the exoidition re-run. I am trying to find rendezvous 4 in phase 4 but for some reason once I land onto the planet it doesn't kick in my target sweep to find the rendezvous. In other words I'm stuck until I find it.

Bizarre happening with an S class ship transfer and first wave exotic site. [Discussion WTF]

Hi All,

I transferred a ship to a different player. It was an S class Squid ship. Starting info is in the link. I was able to transfer the squid to another player. There were a couple of items of note. The squid retained "S" class. Apparently other ships will re-roll class upon transfer. The Squid lost all of the good mods and almost all of the storage. It reverted back to a 16 +4.

I showed the new recipient a first wave exotic station and both of us were upgrading at the same time.

Very Weird... I was upgrading a class B "unnakers sentinal XII" and it switched to class S and switched some of the items from the squid into the sentinal XII. While doing this it maxxed out the storage and tech slots as well.

Anyone have experience with this or an idea of what happened here? Images attached.

Amazing stuff from this game all the time. Cool!

Help finding rendezvous Pinots, please and thanks! [Question]

Hey guys, thanks in advance for your help this seems like a great community!

I’ll start by saying it’s been a few years since I actively played and it’s been a struggle trying to remember and figure things out without the guidance of the main quest w Artemis.

Despite this I’m excited to try and engage with these fast track expeditions and feel like I’m learning fairly quick, though any pointers would be more than welcome.

Anyways, not to be long winded, but with the expedition trail disappearing on me several times I’ve still been able to find up to the fourth rendezvous system. My problem with the previous is there’s so many bases covering up the planetary icon I can hardly seem to locate it and have been relying on the good graces of people naming their bases in a guiding manner. Currently stuck on 4, can’t find an icon or a base named where I can tell where it is. Looking for any help in being able to discern which planet it is in the system as well as those moving forward.

Again, sorry for the mini rant and probably unnecessary background, but any help, tips, pointers, etc would be more than welcome. Especially so because I’m trying to convince other people to play and they’re 100x more frustrated than I (how many storms w 1 min breaks can we have in 20mins lol). Once again thanks in advance, love this subreddit and community!

(Edited for typos, on mobile. Sorry)

I gotta say I’m really warming up to the alien designs in this game. [Discussion]

When I first started playing I was rather turned off by how hideous the aliens were, I mean the gek korvax and vikeen all just look so butt ugly, but as time goes on I’ve slowly warmed up to them all.

Gek use to be gross reptile people who fart in your face to say hello, but now I’ve fallen in love with their lore. I can honestly say that the turtle looking ones are really cute and can even appreciate some of the more grotesque looking ones as hyper specialized mutations.

I use to think the korvax were boring robits but I’ve come to really enjoy their culture like a sentient internet and I love the story about how they defeated the gek.

vikeen took the longest to come around to but ever since I’ve actually started talking to them they come of way less brutish and a lot more… idk like you’re crazy uncle who can’t control his volume and loves guns.

About farming in phase 2 of the new expedition. [Question]

Has anyone else been dealing with texture issues lately? [Question]

For the last few weeks, it seems like some textures are falling under the same issue that plagues the space station shops, where the textures/details don't load at a distance until you get close. I'm dealing with several types of fighters missing their cockpit glass entirely, and they don't render until you get within interaction distance.

This is after a complete reinstall of NMS, and a fresh, clean reinstall of NVIDIA drivers after a DDU wipe of anything NVIDIA.

Any way to get more lvl 1 explorer missions? [Question]

I finished my 2nd to last expedition mission 4 hours ago. Since then, I’ve been warping to new systems trying to finish the final explorer missions quest and I’ve literally found 2 missions in that time period. This is insane. I’ve been having so much fun on this expedition up until this point and now I just want to rip all my hair out, I’m so fucking frustrated. I’ve been warping to vykeen and Korean systems because some random 2 year old post said to do this. It had no noticeable improvement. I’ve been to lvl 1 economies and again no improvement. Like am I just at the mercy of rngesus or is there something I can actually do? Im stuck at 11/16 and if it’s really going to be another 8 hours of mindless space station hopping I’m calling this expedition quits. I hop onto the game every few weeks and play for a while when the mood strikes and this time the expeditions just so happened to be up and running and when I joined it yesterday, I had a ton of fun blasting through it on a new save. After 6 hours I was down to my final task! And now, I literally just want to put the game down for another three weeks before I touch it again, but I’m sooo close. Any help would be really really appreciated.

Can’t color interior of capital ship [Bug]

I’ve been trying to recolor the interior of my capital ship/ base of operations but several corridors and rooms seem to revert their color back as I go to color another area. Do I have to delete the room and build it as the desired color instead of just editing it? I can’t seem to find any discernible variables or causes other than they seem to do it when I run to the other side of the ship and they are out of view.

Stuck on expedition 1: the pioneers; cant find the 4th rendezvous. [Question]

Hello all,

As the title says, im stuck on finding the 4th rendezvous.

I followed the route in the galaxy map for ages now and i don't have the feeling im getting closer to the destination. I warped like 30 times......

I then tried to find a portal and used the glyph order which is mentioned in a guide. I got to a planet with ALOT of player bases, but no rendezvous point....

Anybody has any idea or glyph sequence to find the 4th rendezvous of expedition 1? Or should i just continue the braindead warp method and pray to find it eventually???

I've bounced off this game three times now -- would someone be kind enough to tell me what I should do to get straight to the Expeditions and the fun? [Question]

I want to give this game another shot after having started it up and played through most of the tutorial three times now. I always just stop playing right when I imagine the game proper is going to start. I'm willing to power through it one more time.

I've heard about people joining Expeditions to jumpstart their game and get right to the fun. I don't even really know what this means because I don't know what an Expedition consists of, but I see that Hello Games is allowing people to complete all of the legacy Expeditions again currently and I want to play through them.

I have no idea what going on. Still having fun. [Discussion]

I got the game not long after it first came out, and didn't last long before I got overwhelmed and my interest faded. I recently got back into it and now I'm almost 100hr in total. I still am confused AF. Ancient ruins, glyphs, holo terminals, drop pods coordinates, salavage data, planetary charts, the anomaly, atlas....etc

I find it hard to keep it all straight in my head and see how it all relates to each other and how i should make my decisions during the game. I basically abandoned the main missions and just focus on exploring planets, mining resources and upgrading my exosuit and ship. My next step is to find a cool planet and start building a base. My ship has a very limited jump range so it seems like all the systems i can access are very similar an getting a little boring. Im probably missing out on a lot great stuff about the game, since im only scratching the surface with my current gameplay style. Does anyone else feel this way? What should i really be focusing on? Any advice or words of encouragement? Is there a wrong way to play this game? TIA

Passing on a S class mistake [Discussion]

I had just got my freighter and was checking the inventory on some crashed and claimed ships when a really nice white ship landed. I checked it out and it was a S class with 19 slots. I think it was a transport ship but I only had 4 million units (I've got about 20 hours in. Indium mining soon) and I just feel like it's the one i let slip.

Is my PC outdated for this game? [Question]

Hi everyone, hardware noob here,

I recently bought the game thinking my pc could handle it but it doesn't seem to be the case.

Everything is on Standard and I still get pretty low fps.

My rig is: CPU: Ryzen 5 2400G GPU: Nvidia GeForce GTX 960 (Drivers are up to date) RAM: 16GB Monitor: 1080p

Gpu usage goes to 90% when I'm playing so that might be the issue or maybe it's because I have an HDD instead of an SSD, idk

I managed to play stuff like DOOM 2016 (can't play Eternal tho) on medium resolution without problems but NMS runs awfully for me.

Is there anything I can do or is it time for an upgrade?

Tip for farming derelict freighters: put your emergency broadcast receiver in your portable refiner to reuse it [Information]

This is known by many of you no doubt but for those who don't know (I didn't up until recently!): Get your weekly emergency broadcast receiver from the Anomaly or buy one from the scrap dealer then head out to space, use it, pulse to the freighter, and tuck it into your refiner while you're opening the door. This will allow you to reuse it again and again. Apparently there's a chance the game might eat it but you should be OK, keep a backup on your freighter (not your person) just in case.

I've been using this method to farm S-class freighter upgrades and it works a treat! If you can resist the urge to loot the freighter you can run straight to the engineering core, grab your upgrade, then dip out and do another search as soon as you take off from the last freighter. Again, I'm sure all of this is not news to you seasoned interlopers but for new folks, this is a great way to pimp your freighter which is a great passive moneymaker once you get your fleet going.

Happy hunting, travellers.

Creating an universe all yours [Suggestion]

If you find an already named system, just don't enter the space station, and it won't appear on the teleporter. You can then organize the systems you've found however you like, only those will appear as valid space stations to teleport to, and of course, hide the already found ones from the list.

Now then, if this is already blatantly obvious... ahem I'll see myself out

How should i play? [Question]

Yesterday i first started the game and thought about playing on survival mode or normal mode. I thought survival mode might be better to have atleast a bit of a challenge. About 30 minutes into the game a have died alot after spawning on an ice cold planet. My second planet has very hostile creatures so it didnt get any easier. I thought switching my game mode but generally dislike the idea of having no challenge. Does the game get more chill or should i switch the gamemode for my first run?

How do you decide where on the planet to settle? [Question]

Most posts I find about 'where to build' talk about what kind of planet people like to build on. As a newcomer to the game, I'm interested to hear where people decide to build their base once they've found a planet they like.

From what I understand there are maybe 4 things that make a good base site(?). Those being:

  • Building near the planet's portal (but I figure you really only need just 1 base with portal access)

  • Building near a settlement (for RPG reasons)

  • Building near a concentration of mineable resources (do they always refresh at the same location again?)

  • Building near an epic vista (shoreline, high plateau, etc).

How do you decide? Also, is there ever any reason to build near a point of interest? Like a trade post or holographic communication tower for example? I build my first base near a crashed freighter, but I'm really starting to regret this (ship clipping and getting stuck inside the freighter, the constant loud rumbling noice). Is it possible to settle near - for example - a manufacturing facility and farm it for blueprints?

Whispering egg respawn issue. Is there any consensus on a fix? [Question]

I know there's a ton of posts about this because I spent last night going through them.

I built a larval egg farm and it was working well, then suddenly stopped respawning eggs.

Here's what I've tried and done:

Fly to freighter, create save point, quit to mode select, reload

Warp to another system and include the previous steps

Completely close game and reboot

Just wait (it's been four days)

I've heard that if someone uses the facilities haunted terminal, that the eggs will quit respawning. Is that confirmed?

If you have any other suggestions before I pack it up and make a new base, I'd be thankful.

Non-obvious expedition strategies [Information]

As I was going through Pioneers (and previously Emergence), I realized that there are some really effective, non-obvious strategies that can be really effective: Piracy. Once you're in space, money is no longer an object: just take it. For very little risk and no harm to reputation, you can take the inventory of every capital ship's storage compartment just by shooting it. They're rich in gold, platinum, chromatic metal, etc. Staying close to the ship also makes it difficult for the sentinels to actually hit you even in an un-upgraded ship. As long as you don't attack the support ships or the independent storage ships, you don't lose reputation with factions. Just spend. With essentially unlimited piracy money, just spend it to buy things. Don't craft if you don't have to. Space Station Missions. At the space station, stack every single "kill" animal mission and "kill" sentinel mission. Opportunistically do them while doing everything else. Since they stack, you'll get significant payouts in nanites, credits and goodies for the same tasks. You can turn them in at any mission agent in any system. Chalk this up to the low effort required. The Anomaly. (I actually think they should block the anomaly on expeditions, but...) You can use it for missions -- raid depot missions every time -- and to travel to otherwise blocked systems or to travel through the portal to other people's bases. It's another "easy" way to get access to things that would otherwise be inaccessible early. Other Player Bases. Unlike the regular game, the expeditions are in really close quarters. At this point, lots of other players have already done some significant things in the relevant systems. For things like farming, skip the wait. Look for other player's bases at nearly every system. Someone has usually helpfully named a base "Farm". Keep an eye out for other things like that (AI Farm, Runaway Mold, etc.)....

Atlas path doesn't seem to be working? [Question]

The quest text still says to follow the path toward the black hole on the galaxy map, but now the orange line is pointing to a system 15 warps away, and I don't even know if there is a black hole there, because the purple black hole marker is just gone now.

Deep water planet portal coordinates included if you've been looking for one [Information]

I've been one of the people frustrated by constant shallow waters. I finally found a good, deep water planet, so I'm sharing for anyone else that wants it.

There is plenty of both land and wide open swaths of very deep water. I'm not sure what the depth unit is but the lowest that I've noticed is around 30u. If I had to estimate I'd say most of what I've explored so far is between 20-50ft deep with a few spots I'd guess went as deep as 200-300 ft. It's a nice, open place to cruise in your nautilus

It's in the Eajerandal galaxy. Resources are cactus flesh, indium, pyrite and silver. Very calm, light sentinals and occasional sandstorms.

I put a few things by the portal, a save point and warp gate.

This is the first time I'm sharing anything so if I've screwed something I, please let me know!

First wave exotic or squid [Information]

So... Not sure if anyone else has found this, but I've done this 3 times now and it works. I've found 2 exotics and a squid first wave doing this.

When you're jumping (if I remember right it's every 6th jump) to a freighter fight - and in an abandoned system - defend the freighter. Once it's finished and you save the freighter, DO NOT LAND ON THE FREIGHTER. Fly straight to the abandoned space station and land. First wave should have something special. Again, I've done this 3 times so it's somewhat unscientific, but in those 3 times I've gotten 2 exotics and 1 squid. They seem to be part of the team that protects the freighter.

If you summon your freighter from the surface of the planet and fly up and land on a frigate the steps you take count towards the milestone but you don’t suffer environmental damage.

To cheese it even more if you’re playing with a controller you can use rubber bands to lock the analog sticks in a position where you run in circles indefinitely.

1u = 94 cm = 3′1″ | Here is how that conclusion was reached: [Information]

Unlike what other people have tried, we can't use walking speed as a reference point to measure distance in this game, because the player character is not walking.

We can also not use creature size as a reliable reference point. Not only was this mechanic initially wrong, mixing up height and weight, but even in recent times, the heights can be very vague. For example, there has been at least one instance where the scanner claimed that a visibly taller creature was smaller than a visibly shorter creature.

This leaves us with the player character being the best reference point. Regardless of what any lore may say, we will for now assume that the default player character is the height of an average person: 180 cm. Wearing a helmet adds a few centimetres, so we will assume that the top of the main portion of the helmet is located 185 cm above the ground.

In this image, the player is approximately 415 pixels tall, and the wall is approximately 664 pixels tall. This means that the wall is 1.6 times taller than the player, and if we multiply 185 cm by 1.6, we get that the height of the wall is 296 cm.

Image A: The wall is 1.6 times taller than the player.

In this image, the wall is approximately 685 pixels tall and 1170 pixels wide. This means that the wall's width is about 1.7 times that of its height. If we multiply 296 cm by 1.7, we get that the width of the wall is about 503 cm.

Image B: The wall's width is around 1.7 times that of its height.

The angles in these images are important, since they can give a skewed perspective otherwise, making the comparisons inaccurate. At the same time,...

So I have been at this for like an hour now. I got an activated indium farm running off solar but I found a B node for electromagnetics and want to run it off that. It is about 350u away but always within getting like 100u away from my base the wire goes red for no reason. When I delete the red wire and the blue one before it when I go to place the previously blue one THAT wire goes red and so I have to completely delete the line to my base and try again. What is happening? I have tried connecting it to a battery or solar panel before that break point and that still does not work

NMS monthly subscription! Take my money. [Suggestion]

Wondering why this has not happened already. Take our money you have earned it. Some of the perks that would have me sign up in the spot.

Multiple freighters, each with 6 ships. We need more ships! Cloud based backups. I would honestly cry if I lost all my bases / main save. Unlimited terrain edits that don't come back (oh, to dream).

Anyone else have some ideas to add?

Expeditions [Question]

PS5. How do I start expeditions from an already saved game? It appears that the only way to do them is by starting a new game. If I do this, can I turn in expeditions at the Nexus on my original saved game?

Just bought the game in december 2021...Wow [Question]

I originally heard about the game when it launched. And the critics weren´t really nice.

Now in december 2021 I decided to give it a go, and boys... It´s a blast. I only explored 2 planets, following the main line story, but there is already so much to discover. I mean I never imagine that there were so many possibilites.

First planet was temperate and toxic, second one is a burnt one close to a star. Not the most beautiful ones when I see some screenshots of yours but I'm having so much fun exploring them. I'm thinking of buying a controller for PC because this game seems more geared towards console, pc hud and controls are not great to say the least.

Was also wondering : Do mods break the save ? I want to download some graphical ones as my computer can handle it, any advice ?

Need help finding an Expedition system [Question]

I’ve been answering so many questions about the expedition, I figure it’s my turn to ask one:

Does anyone know the names of the systems where the 3rd and 4th rendezvous points are? I saw a blue four-baller I really fancied, and meant to make a mental note to come back to it. Naturally, I forgot all about it and didn’t think of it again until I was a dozen systems down the road. If I can avoid teleporting through a whole list of stations so I can loiter around waiting for a ship that might not even show up, that’d be great.

Ok, hear me out. A No Mans Sky+DUNE crossover [Discussion]

I have been thinking about how amazing a DUNE game would mostly because of the weirdness and abstract-ness of the story. I was thinking and remembered No Mans Sky. Both space centered, both abstract/like none other, both have cool planets and features and civilizations, etc. Another factor is the Possibilities and potential. No Mans Sky gets a lot of updates now and they will keep them getting better and DUNE would help the gameplay a lot. (There would be a normal No Mans Sky mode too so players aren’t forced with the dune version) a bunch of new ships like orthinopters or a new freighter could be the ship transporters from DUNE. In the books there are a bunch of vehicles which could be used as exocraft. More possibilities are with the ships, the orthinopters would be really cool in the game because they are planet exclusive ships. The ship carriers could be really cool freighters also. Probably a lot of you have seen the mod where someone put the creators face instead of a helmet, which I know it was just a mod, but they could add human faces. Paul, Duncan, whatever the villains name was called, Fremens blue eyes, there is a lot of potential with the character customization. Another thing that I’ve wanted in No Mans Sky, DUNE update or not, actual sand dunes or any kind of wavy dunes. It would be perfect for base building, dune surfing with ships or exocraft, digging underground. Please tell me your opinions on this and what else you would add. I know they would never crossover with DUNE unless a miracle happens but It’s a cool idea. TLDR: DUNE + NMS = very cool

Help I am stuck on a derelict freighter [Question]

I am doing the expedition and I am at the part where I have to run through the freighter. I have completed it and I exit looking for my ship and it’s gone.

VR hidden graphic settings get reset everytime [Bug]

I recently got an oculus quest 2 and the only game I have issues with is no mans sky.

I've tried to figure out for a while what seems to be the problem, and many forum posts recommend changing the "NumHighThreads" / "NumLowThreads" values, which also worked for a moment.

But now, everytime I start the game these are getting reset again to the default value, which is "12" for both on my setup.

Does anyone know why this happens to me? I could start the game a few times with my modified settings, but now it just resets them everytime.

I have a AMD Ryzen 7 5800X with 16 logical processors, 32GB memory and a NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti.

Another user with electricity problems in the base :C [Bug]

Hi guys!

I'm a new player to this beauty of a game (70ish hours in) and I'm having some issues with the electricity in my base and I can't find a solution, thats why I'm here!

I've search this sub and other forums, there are similars issues like mine, but I can't understand what can I fix it.

"The game isn't responding anymore" any things you could do when the game freezes? [Question]

So while I was doing the expeditions a few days ago it occurred the first time. I just received one of the rewards for one of the milestones when suddenly the game freezed followed by the message "the game isn't responding anymore". I reloaded and everything seemed fine again. Yesterday I finished the expedition and loaded my main save game (which I haven't played since the expedition has started) and the same thing happened again. After a few seconds the game freezed and I got the message. I tried this 5 or 6 times and it was a little bit different every time but I wasn't able to play longer than 5 or 6 seconds. One of my assumptions was that is has to do with my settlement where I saved the game before I jumped into the expedition and that it could be to large for the game to load it. However I manged to load the automatic save before the last manual one and the game didn't freeze again. I then relocated the game files to my SSD hoping this will lower the risk of freezes in the future but I'm not sure if this really was the reason.

Do you have experienced smiliar errors? Since the expedition has started I've created backups every day but the mentioned bug/error has nothing to do with the save game being damaged I guess. Seems to have something to do with to large structures to load but actually my settlement was not that large compared to bases from other players.

Been away for a while and scrapping ships has changed. Can you give me a rundown please? [Question]

So, back in the day, the only scrapping of a derelict ship that I can remember is taking possession of it and deconstructing the modules that allowed it, and then transfer those resources back to your original ship. Then you took control back to your original and flew off. Now most of the ships modules are broken to begin with. What is the process now for scrapping a ship?

Sooo.. where do I go from here? (Wholesome questions inside). [Discussion]

Just absolutely fell in love with this game after starting it up again. I have been warping system to system and getting all my cargo slots and inventories and I am at the point where I have a good amount of cash and almost all my slots (just a few more to go). While I warp, I have been doing the traveler glyphs (almost at 16) and plopping a base computer down on any paradise planets I find to come back to later. Some of them I'll quickly set up a portal before I go.

I've got a freighter and 2 others that I hired.. I plan on building some storage in my freighter. I saw an option for some 'beam' I can build? Does this mean I can transfer materials from planet up to freighter?

I love exploring and finding cool stuff but I also feel with the large scope of this game I could be missing out on stuff unless I ask...hence my post!

So, what do you guys like to do? Is there anything I am missing? I have got a bunch of sidequests and still have 3 primary quests I haven't even bothered with (one of them being the triangulating quest with some beacons, and I can't seem to get it to work so I gave up.. I think I'm doing it wrong).

What do you guys like to do? Is there anything I might be missing? When I find a cool planet or a paradise planet, are there things I should be looking for on them? I 'captured' a few settlements as I go with a base computer to come back to later.

I've got a good S class fighter with 29+6 slots or something, a S class multi-tool with many slots, both ship, myself and multi-tool have several upgrades, now I am getting to the point where I'd like to ask what are some things you guys like to do? Or if there is anything cool I might be missing out on? What is the point of having multiple ships if you really like the one you have?

Any other suggestions, tips, ideas, would be awesome... I'm really digging the game, I would...

Are there any mods that make this look less like Fortnite? [Question]

I've been eyeing this game for a while. It seems like a lot of work has been done on it to make it well worth the price 10 times over. My only issue is that excessive use of really vibrant colors. This is my opinion - I'm just one of those people who's not really into the whole Unicorn jizz color palette they've got going on. I've seen plenty of comments along the lines of " It's not supposed to be super realistic." so I get that. It doesn't really make it any less unpleasant for me to look at due to eye overstimulation.

Are there any mods or software I can use to tone it way down?

For instance if i ask Polo where one is, and i go to that system, Would that black hole have been there even if i didn't ask him? Do black holes ever 'expire', Or do they always remain there until you use them? Does using them 'expire' them or could you go back to that system and use it again? Do i need to be present near my crops for them to grow? If i leave the area / planet / system will they continue to grow ? Also how long do they take to grow?

  2. ''Visit a red star'' / ''visit a blue star'' missions - When i click to warp to them it says i need a specific drive, How do i get those drives?

  3. Where can i find ''storm crystals'' ?

  4. ''Completely explore a derelict freighter'', I have run into a few of these whilst flying around but i don't see anyway i'm suppose to board or enter them?

Expeditions - not enough time? [Suggestion]

I'm thinking about deleting my expo 1 save and abandoning NMS until after Xmas. I've got as far as the 4th stage, but I won't be able to complete it without abandoning my life for the next few days. And of course I can't do that, and it's the holiday season and we all have much to do.

In fact trying to rush through the stuff - some of it things that I never bothered with in the main save - is really unenjoyable.

I had no problems with expedition 4, which I enjoyed. So I think the problem is the too-short timespan for the expedition. I gather that they intend to run expeditions 2 and 3 in a short window as well.

I'm sure someone will disagree, but in case anyone from Hello Games reads this - guys, I think you've made a mistake here.

So I know the ideas for cities and gas giants have been done to death but here’s my idea. [Suggestion]

Why not put them together? The problem with gas giants is that there’s no where to land and the problem with cities is that they’re too big to render. Imagine cloud city from Star Wars, something like this could solve both problems, gas giants would spawn with cities you can touch down on and the cities would be floating in gas so they have more processing power for rendering them.

That’s basically the TL;DR but I’ll continue to speculate on how this could work below in case you want to read.

Here’s my ideas:

-cities are enclosed like space stations with little sky rise buildings coming out of the top (again imagine cloud city) this allows the city to be rendered fully even though it’s large.

-around the outside of the city would be landing docks for your ship.

-cities would be made up of “capsules” aka enclosed areas with loading buffers between them like an air lock or decontamination room giving time for other capsules to load in.

-there would be multiple capsule types and depending on the class of city you’ve landed on there will be more or less of them.

some capsule ideas:

-“residential” capsules would have streets and skyscrapers, you can’t enter the scrapers unless you buy an apartment, apartments load when you go up elevators. Npcs walk the streets and you can talk to them for language stuff or sometimes they’ll be busy so they’ll just give you a small gift and move on. Food shops like Gek ramen or Vikeen Skewers that you can sell processed food to or purchase specific types of food (good for kronos) more vendors spawn as the class goes up, there would also be plots you can base build on if you don’t want an apartment. Talking to the mayor in the city hall building allows you to invest in the residential district. There would only be a few high rises to...

Black holes. [Discussion]

Alright who’s traveled through these bad boys? I just found my first one. I understand what they do and their basic function but my question is will your freighter come with you? Or do you basically start from square one ? Also when would you recommend traveling through it?

Deleted Main Save [Question]

I've looked and I am pretty sure I am screwed but I figured I would check. I just deleted my 300 something hour main save game, because it moved positions in the list and I didn't pay attention.

I tried restoring the previous version, of the save folder, and I never made a back up.

Does anyone have any ideas, cause if not I don't if I can go back.

Lost in Space - Expedition 1 Rendezvous 2 [Question]

I have legit been making jump after jump for maybe 45 mins since I got home from work. Seems a bit excessive but starting to think I'm not where I'm supposed to be. Don't even want to finish the entire thing just want to get to part 4 for the jetpack. How can I get back on track?

Help!!!! I stayed in an expedition system to grab more resources, took on a quick side journey, and now I'm lost and can't find my way back to the Expedition waypoints [Question]

I've made like 15 jumps and I'm pretty sure I'm nowhere close, but I'm also not sure what system I can warp to on the holodeck thing to get back on track. I'd just passed the first rendezvous--does anyone know what it's called, or how I can find my way back without doing a million jumps??

Edit note: I can see a bunch of stations and rendezvous in the Anomaly, is Ikyanth XIII or Imhaeju on the Expedition rendezvous list? Or are those just names like "station" and "junction"?

I can't find purchasable frigates in expedition 1. any help? [Question]

Sorry if this isn't allowed, but I'm not sure where else to ask. Is there any way to force a spawn of frigates to buy? I've seen plenty of fleets, but the only icons that show up are for the main capital ship to buy.

I've already got a capital ship and a couple rooms ready. I just can't buy the damn ships to send on their own missions. It's the last milestone and I'll be damned if I miss out on that fancy ship twice.

Anyone got any advice?

What to plant in a small farm? [Question]

Hello,

I have four biodomes, all the seed blueprints, and plenty of money and materials thanks to generous donors at the anomaly. I'd like your advice on what I should plant in the domes. I heard there's a recipe for minmaxing farming profits with crafted trade commodities, but that's not really my thing. Is there some plants that are just more useful than others?

Thanks!

How many saves do you have? [Discussion]

With the expeditions being each their own save, and the game being available for crossplay on multiple platforms, how many saves are you hanging on to? Do you make any new saves beyond expeditions? Do you play on different platforms at all? . Im debating moving over to PC from Xbox bc my xbox is in its elder years and has been struggling with loading textures, hard fails, and lagging in multiplayer. I don’t think my PC will have those problems. But Ive sunk a fair amount of time into my Xbox saves. Though its not like Id lose access to them. Id just be losing all my quicksilver and prior expedition rewards. Which is why Im thinking of making the jump now when Ill have the chance to do exp 2-4 on the new save and use them as a head start. Im feeling very ambivalent. 😕

Need help with an ambitions x-class module project. [Question]

So I have a dream of creating a perfect Radiant Pillar. This dream involves 6 PERFECT god rolled x-class modules for the launch thruster, hyper drive and pulse drive. This is a project that I know is nigh on impossible but it’s not going to stop me from trying. I’ll give it a week or two of non stop grinding before I decide whether to continue or not. However, I don’t really know any efficient ways to obtain them. I know you get them from the space station for tainted metal, landed pilots, and rarely from cargo drops buried in planets. Are there any other ways to obtain them? And are there any reliable ways to farm for them? Like if I find a cargo drop with an x-class can I visit it daily to obtain the same one? Any help would be appreciated. I need to collect at least 48 x-class modules of each kind in order to approach this as efficiently as possible. (I’m also looking for some hazard protections, movement and life support ones but the ship takes priority) so any help would be greatly appreciated.

This is NMS Capital Ship [Screenshot]

This is NMS captial Ship.

i cant wait till they start adding floors in NMS that go downwards and an engine room that you have to build towards so we can have like 600 floor floating bases with like unlimited building space.

so we dont have to keep building bases on the surface and can star doing Ship builds

Hey Sean, you guys should add an expandable storm shield to make even the most extreme planets livable at player bases. [Suggestion]

The storm shield will require ancient anomaly cores to expand its reach. 8 cores = 8 missions. Opportunity for a new quest line futher uncovering the origins of the Atlas and its creator. Each core increases the safe zone in your base. No more "incoming storm" worries. Shield yourself/Manipulate the weather and live the life paradise planets do. Each core not only increases range but also adds new effects to your base. Adjust gravity levels, movement speed, agriculture grow speed, seasons/weather, etc. The player encounters the first core upon arrival at a supernova imminent system where the player must work with nada and polo to stop time at the point right before implosion and capturing one of the oldest solar entities to exist. Doing so will kill the system and grant you power(code). Collecting all 8 of the Atlas original code will unlock the next chapter towards altering to Atlas code and breaking the loop. Doing so will invite the attention of the Creator.

So, I think I found a bug with the Expedition roll back. [Information]

My main save became my first expedition save. Well, I didn’t get to complete the first expedition because life happened. Fast forward to now, I started up a new save and completed the first expedition. Once completed, I hopped over to my main save to claim the rewards from the nexus. While I was doing the expedition, I could’ve swore there was a way to check your standings with the guilds. Been a while since I played. I popped open the menu, scrolled over to the milestones tab. Ahhhh. There it is. Only, at the bottom I could see a tab for the expedition that was tied to this particular save. I open it. Low and behold, now that the game recognizes that I’ve completed the expedition, it allowed me to claim all of those unfinished phases to my save. All of them, not just the phase rewards that are only claimable to the nexus. Except, the Golden Vector Ship. It is claimable, as far as I can tell, as many times as you wanna claim it. It’ll just keep asking you if you want to add it to your collection. I now have 3 of them. Probably won’t claim anymore as I don’t have the slots. Just thought you guys and gals should know incase you did what I did and made the first expedition your main save. The portal glyph set was very nice to be able to claim on this save as I haven’t been bothered to get all of them yet.

Why is it possible to get the golden ship now? [Discussion]

The main point of expeditions was to give out seasonal awards based on seasonal challenges, the first reward was a golden ship to the "pioneers" of the expeditions, now that everyone can get it the rarity and uniqueness of it is gone, the entire ship went from a trophy you could show off and say "ive been here since the first expedition" to "i did 3 rerun challenges yesterday and got it". Now that absolutely everyone got the ship the entire point of it being "gold" is gone, even the "pioneers" title doesn't make sense anymore, now its just another generic ship you can see everywhere with the value of a starter ship. I'm honestly not going to bother doing more expeditions during the different months from now on and just wait until the "rerun" at the end of the year instead and get everything in one day. Handing out a "everyone is a winner" trophy, really nice way of ruining expeditions.

How to access the Space Anomaly in the Pioneers Expedition? [Question]

Ok, so NMS finally clicked for me, after several tries. The expedition certainly helped.

However, I need Hydraulic Wiring and the game says I need to summon the Space Anomaly. A little bit Googling taught me it is introduced in regular play and its existence in Expeditions seems buggy. But those threads are several months old.

Is there any reliable way to bring it up?

returning player: new game or continue previous save? [Question]

This might be a weird question, but just wanted some feedback from the community. I havent played in over 18 months but follow the sub a lot and honestly I have been chomping at the bit to return.

I probably have about a 100 hour save but I always feel like so much has changed that it would be better to start over. Do I really gain anything from doing so or is it best just to continue?

Some more background: I actually bought the game upon original release in 2016 but have serially restarted when they have had major updates cuz it just felt weird continuing when my previous world data was updated and my naming schemes didnt make sense anymore... but Im not sure that has been the right decision since im still stuck in Euclid after all this time lol.

I recognize feedback will probably just be "its your decision" but I'm honestly just curious what others do / think about this. Hope to hear from some folks about it :). Thanks in advance.

Current expedition / exploration missions [Question]

No Man's Sky skybase construction tip [Information]

So this is kind of a construction tip/guide (tide?). Quick backstory though: I discovered the hard way that No Man's Sky (at least on PS4 and PS5) doesn't consistently handle really tall towers very well and can crash once the tower reaches a certain height. To cut a long story short I did an autosave just before the game crashed and wound up with a save that I couldn't load for more than 5 seconds before the game crashed, luckily I had a manual save that I made before the tower got too complex and managed to superspeed through the pause menu to reload my manual save (hopefully one day Hello Games will add the ability to chose between loading an autosave or a manual save from the initial loading menu).

Anyhow, getting to the point of this post, once I had deleted my base (just to be on the safe side) I began brainstorming and realised there is a better method of construction which to me is a good balance between not being too slow whilst still being safe.

Step 1: create a manual save before building anything (this method should prevent the need for one but it never hurts to play it safe).

Step 2:make the tallest tower you can from where you're standing without using the building camera (I tend to build the tower out of square rooms),

Step 3: pick up the base computer and place it at the top of that tower (so glad they made base computers movable in the recent updates),

Step 4: build a landing pad and snap it to the top floor of that tower (or just place it anywhere that's close to the top of the tower),

Step 5: delete the other floors and then summon your ship once you're back at ground level to fly back up to the top of the tower, then repeat steps 2 to 5.

Step 6: once you've reached your preferred height you can now start building your base and place the computer wherever you want, on top of that you'll finally be able to get a decent base...

Reliable access to Explorer's guild missions [Question]

Hi.

I have one mission left to do in Expedition 1 and it is the Explorers Guild missions. I have 9 of 16 done. However, I am stuck in a crazy grind where I might be lucky to find one Level 1 Explorers Guild mission per hour after warping around from Gek system space station to Gek system space station.

(I believe that Explorers Guild missions are more common with Geks. Please let me know if I am wrong on that account.)

Is there a more reliable way of getting Explorers Guild missions without the grind?

Too many bases... [Question]

This is the portal at rendezvous 4 when I re-played the Pioneers expedition; 4 base computers right at the portal, with several more very close to it, and the immediate area is riddled with structures from multiple bases.

Could anyone confirm or deny this bugfix for me? [Question]

My friends and I all bought NMS at launch and put it down shortly after. We keep trying to come back but one major bug that has always kept us from staying is how planetary conditions are not synced between players. Meaning that despite standing right next to each other, I could be seeing sunny daytime skies, while one of my friends is in a duststorm at night, and another friend is running to our habitat because he's experiencing hazardous conditions... you get the idea.

Has this been fixed? I think the last time we went in and checked it was right after Prisms released. It wasn't fixed then and we quit within about 10 minutes of having re-installed it. We've always thought it was a really big shame but it's just too gamebreaking and immersion breaking for us.

Should a returning player start a new save file? [Question]

I played around 2 years ago for the last time, just when the big multiplayer update rolled around and when I logged in recently there was so much stuff I didnt understand, which led me to the question: should I just start a new save file and learn everything that way again? Or should I just stick with my old one bc it has some stuff farmed.

Tips and thoughts after finishing Expedition 1 Redux [SPOILERS]

So I finally finished Expedition 1 Redux last night, after failing to finish it in time the first time around. I thought I’d share some tips for folks hoping to finish it up before it ends.

A little background: I have about 650 hours on my main save. I haven’t left Euclid yet, and I’m finally at the point where I’m building farms and attempting to build bases that don’t suck. As mentioned, I attempted this Expedition the first time it was offered, but didn’t finish in time. I finished expeditions 2 and 4, and I’m hoping this time around I can finish #3.

It took me almost 18 hours to finish, but I’m pretty sure that if I stayed more focused, I could have shaved almost 4 hours off of that. So, first tip is to focus on the task at hand. With few exceptions, just work on the mission tasks. Don’t try to advance in the game like you normally would. As you finish the missions and phases, you’ll get more upgrades than you’ll need to finish strong.

Spoilers follow:

Tip 2: The starting planet is in a green star system. While you’re there, make sure you mine a good amount of emeril. You’ll need it later to craft an indium hyperdrive upgrade so that you can travel to red, green, and blue systems. Remember that you only need to craft the indium upgrade; you don’t need to craft the cadmium or emeril hyperdrive upgrades.

Tip 3: Don’t fuss about hunting starships, and avoid unnecessary upgrades to your starter starship. You’re going to eventually receive a nice S-class explorer as a reward for finishing one of the missions. Use that ship as your main one and put all the upgrades you get on that.

Tip 4: Before you leave the starting system, stop in the space station so that you can teleport back later if necessary.

Tip 5: Scan all minerals, flora, and fauna to earn units. You will receive several scanner upgrades as...

The unit cap has real downsides [Suggestion]

I set up multiple large scale activated indium farms, and they take about a day to reach max capacity before I go take all the activated indium and sell it. Now here's the problem, I haven't played the game in months and I would have if there wasn't the unit cap. It would be a nice incentive to log on every day and go around to the mining bases and collect everything that was mined and sell it all. But the unit cap makes it so there's no reason for me to do that. I hear that "there's no way to spend it all" and to that I say so what? If I find enjoyment in getting the number bigger, and I have an in game system I think is cool that will keep me logging on every day, then that's what I like to do.

Finding crashed ships? [Question]

Hi. First off, im very new to nms.

Ok! So I did some research and found out that if you do low passes on a planet surface while scanning you can find unknown buildings. This is how transmission towers are found which leads to crashed ships.

My question is, how rare are these transmission towers and crashed ships???

I have scanned every single planet in my starter system and have moved on to the next one. I am currently in the process of clearing the 2 planets in this system.

All up, I've cleared 5 planets and 2 moons - and not 1 single transmission tower or crashed ship!

What am I doing wrong? Please help me find a hauler or explorer. Any hauler or explorer! Even the poop ones! I dont care... I just want a different ship.

Question regarding bases and expeditions [Question]

So during my recent expedition playthrough, I found a spot where I plan on building a new base. I created a temporary base, took note of the coordinates, then switched to my main interloper and found the same spot. I was able to create a base at the same place as my expedition character (without deleting the first, both have multiplayer enabled).

I know that the expedition character will be converted to a regular account once the event is over, which I assume was why I was able to create two bases on the exact same spot. Question is, what happens to the bases once the event is over? I deleted the expedition base just in case, wasn’t planning on building anything major on that character anyway, but got me wondering about the above.

I want you to convince me to play survival. [Discussion]

The extra challenge sounds kind of fun. I am new to the game. Spent 15 hours on a normal game mode and just started the expedition with 5 hours on it. Normal mode seems really easy and yet still fun. Last night I lost my first dogfight in space to some damn sentinels and learned you drop your ship inventory. Then I read on survival you'll crash land on a planet and need to do repairs while having lost your inventory and thought that sounded cool. Most things about survival sounds cool since it creates more challenging gameplay and might be a more fun way to play with friends. I'm going to start a play on survival to check it out.

I just wanted to know why survival players play on survival? Do you play survival solo or with friends? What are some exciting, intense, or frustrating experiences you've had because of the survival settings?

I want to hear it all to help fuel my thirst in joining the survival ranks.

Hi there. Do you guys have any idea on how to post my game performance? I have a GTX 2080, so I don’t think that is the problem, plus I have most of the settings set as low as possible.

What are the best light sources for a base? [Question]

I've recently started building bigger bases than the usual shacks I've always made, and I've found that the lighting in this game (for bases at least) is kinda... Bad.

It's fine for the large premade structures, because they come with their own lighting, but when I use timber for example, it gets really dark inside. The different coloured lights aren't very good, the light boxes are quite ugly, the ceiling light doesn't even light up unless you place another light near it, and don't get me started on how very little light the lab lamp produces.

I haven't tried some of the new lights yet (triple hanging lamp, circles hanging lamp, etc) so maybe this has been fixed by them. But what are the light sources that provide the most light? I've heard the candelabra bloom is really good.

What should I focus on as a beginner? [Question]

What the title said. I've bought the game about a week ago, finished the first expedition and I've started a fresh save file with about 10 hours on it.

Playing the expedition certainly helped me understand the mechanics of the game quicker but I'm completely lost on how to progress 'properly' since the rewards inflated my experience.

What modules and upgrades (multi tool, exosuit, starship, etc.) should I focus on as well as general information I should keep in mind? Any help is appreciated!

001011010011 [Discussion]

So, I've been Portaling around, and this is one of the color texts that pop up at the entrance pylon. Knowing nothing about binary except the ability to recognize it, I thought it might be "16"-- but it's not. It's 723. But it's also a key term in searching that brings up something interesting and casually related to NMS - a paper by Erik P. Hoel called "When the Map is Better than the Territory" from the Entropy journal, March 2017. I cannot make heads or tails of it, it's far over my head, but the title sparked something in me about this game being something like a map in a map in a territory.

It seems to me that its protagonist (the player) is playing through a representation of the galaxy-a map, if you will, of the galaxy. We're playing Artemis in Nada's simulacrum.

Let's talk MT's [Discussion]

Can anyone explain Multitool spawning to me? I dont completely understand how it works. I found two Alien MT's in a system I discovered today. There is an A-Class at the Space Station of the standard Alien MT and I found the shorter stubby style with the flattish barrel on one of the planets I was searching.

I've been to about 15 minor settlements between two planets and can only find A's and B's. There are 6 planets total in the system and I just feel like it's going to take two weeks to find the S-class variant.

I know that when other Travellers post MT's sometimes you have to reload on one planet and go to another for the MT. This leads me to the questions, can a A-Class cabinet turn into a S-Class cabinet with a reload on another planet? Am I just doomed to stay in this system until I visit every minor settlement under the twin suns?

Any clarification would be much appreciated for some insight on how these MT's spawn.

Will I miss out on anything if I continue playing on my expedition save as my main save? [Question]

I'm a newer player, I've played a ton so far but my first save I made was for the first expedition remix, and I was planning to use that as a main save going forward. But I just wanted to know If there are any items or rewards or anything that I would miss out on if I continued to play this way. I know I miss out on some story, but I don't mind that part.

hoping for advice for settings/tweaks for a more stable FPS- running on a STRIX-GTX970 [Question]

ive been having issues with major fp drops (slideshow level)- i know my card's a little dated (at the time i went for something "affordable" for the mid-term, not having a clue a chip shortage was coming), both during storms, and of late, massive ones when underwater- part of it might be my old monitor (1680x1050) finally dying, and my having to switch over to my 1920x1080 tv.

any settings, both ingame and in nvidia's config stuff that you folks recommend for a major improvement? have fiddle around with high/low priority threads in the config file, no real improvement setting more high....

Finished expedition, Can i transfer units / nanites to my 'main save' ? [Question]

Sorry if this is a stupid quesiton ,I'm quite new to the game, I spent about 15 hours in the game before i jumped into the expedition, And basically all of that time was spend finding my Utopia system to call home lol. Because i new nothing about the game, It took me 25+ hours to complete the expedition and i have accumulated a decent amount of wealth in it (23m Units / 9k Nanites / 3 Freighters / 5 ships etc etc)

Anyway, I plan on going back to my initial save on that system i found and love, But that character is really dirt poor, Is there anwyay for me to transfer the wealth of this save to him?

Also out of curiosity, What happens to this new expedition save character i had to create, Does he stay after the expedition event ends? I did think about continuing to play with him if so but, Idk, He feels a bit cheaty overpowered with all those upgrades and stuff i got simply for finishing expedition tasks.

Building your own ships [Suggestion]

What if you could design your own ships? Some galaxies have a ship yard and you can design your own ships! Buy parts, get parts from missions, find them in shipwrecks, so many options! Take you old ships or find derelict ships in space and tow them to these and get credits for scrapping them or use them to rebuild. You could have very unique ships you only come across in abandoned stations of abandoned freighters that take a lot to rebuild because the parts are sooooo unique and hard to find.

I think it would bring/expand on fun part of the game. If they did this I'd love some new ship designs added too.

Develop uncharted galaxies [Suggestion]

What if you could find abandoned space stations... fix them up and warp them to one of the uncharted galaxies that doesn't have one yet, there's no presence. They take your race reputation and add a personal reputation to the game so you can go to other systems and invite people to work your space station. Make contacts and develop trade. Better your rep the better prices you get. Pirate problem? Put out contracts to make your system safe. Want those planets cataloged but have no time? Put out a contract.

Why limit yourself to a settlement when the potential to rule and develop an entire system! As they continue to develop the game they could add so many more options to this.

How would you make space combat more fun? [Question]

I know they favor "arcady" over "sim"

But I feel the space combat is just too simple and easy even at low levels and it wouldn't take much to really improve the space combat.

What features would you add/alter in space combat to make it more fun? I think it would be interesting if you had to divert energy from guns to shields depending on what you need. Hotkeys for barrel rolls and side quick dodges drones, mines, flack, boarding parties Giant Ships and structures to fly through and hide in. Constructed smart missiles and bombs that take actual resources to build

my wish for this game [Suggestion]

first of all: i love this game! it gives me so much. anticipation, excitement, satisfaction, relaxation. I've been playing video games all my life and so far none has fulfilled me as much as no man's sky. But there's one thing I'm missing and that's a shame: a real challenge in multiplayer. i wish for abandoned freighters with real dangers. a little boss fight at the end, for example. dangerous dungeons on planets. monsters in space that you can really only defeat with other players. There is this huge skull (I don't know the lore for it) but wouldn't it be really great if this monster were also alive. then fighters would make more sense. I would like pirate freighters too. I hope hello games is already working on such things.

Fellow NMS players. An inquiry for you. [Question]

Hey everyone,

I run a cryptocurrency project called NEXUS, that allows players of online games to buy, sell, trade , swap in-game currency using an Algorand Standard Asset. One of the suggestions to our community was to add NMS to our list of approved games.

My question for you all, Would the NMS community benefit from a service like this? Is there demand for it in the game? Would trading NMS items for IRL cryptocurrency be beneficial to the NMS community?

The trades and prices are set completely by the players doing the trades, as I know in NMS currency and items are easy to obtain.

I'd like your input on the matter, as adding a new game to the list creates a fair bit of work for my team.

Thanks!

Fix Timber, it is tedious [Suggestion]

SUGGESTION: Make the different types of timber toggleable (the timber changes based on height relative to the part beneath it)

Rest of it:

Simply put, I tried building a very simple set of outer walls for my base with timber and because for some reason they decided to make the wall type based on height (completely limiting freedom for this part) I'm now struggling to get the appearance I want and am forced to use other parts besides from the rather beautiful timber.

All because if it's too low I get the basic timber design that I don't want, if it's too high I get the design I would like on the base floor and so on.

I wish I could ask who came up with this restrictive decision "why?" And poke their brain as it makes no sense to restrict our enjoyment in such an imposing way.

Do not mention workarounds, workarounds should not be required in a game and I'm not going to waste my time tediously working around something just because it looks pretty.

Newbie tips on finding and upgrading a decent beginner ship? [Question]

Hi!

I am very new to No Man's Sky, have sunk in a bit above 20 hours mostly just roaming around planets and finding stuff, and I'm still rocking the starter ship. I would like to get a new ship I could upgrade, but I'm very confused by the ship stats, classes, etc. and really don't know where to start to build a decent ship.

To be clear, I don't mind not having a perfect S-Class ship right off the bat, but I'd really like to have something decent to upgrade long-term, possibly into the end-game. Is that even possible? If so, is there any difference between buying, say, a C-Class ship and upgrading it all the way to S-Class vs. directly buying a S-Class ship (other than the cost of upgrading of course)? Will the stats be any different? How do I know the ship I'm looking at has good stats, and what should I look for in particular? Do the good stats carry over when upgrading the class? Am I better off repairing a crashed ship or buying one? Do you have any tips regarding building a good starter ship in general?

Thank you!

How do I turn off multiplayer in Nexus when I can't even play multiplayer??? [Information]

I've just about lost patience with this whole "can't save in multiplayer" B.S. that NMS has when doing a Nexus mission. I could understand if NMS was perfectly functional with little to no issues, but that's not the case. I could also understand if one was actually doing the event in multiplayer.

But I have never done a Nexus mission on multiplayer nor plan to start, and have not done any kind of multiplayer in general in a long time. In fact, I can't even turn on that option right now.

Just a few minutes ago, I spent around 45 minutes collecting hadal cores with my FPS absolutely horrendous for some reason. IDK why; could be the ton of schools of fish that were hanging around. I managed to collect a few cores, and then some for later storage, and was just about to fly off and turn them in when my screen went perpetually black.

45 minutes down the drain, simply because the game implements a stupid rule and can't seem to figure out when someone is actually playing multiplayer. This isn't the first time I lost a chunk of time during Nexus missions, and it probably won't be the last.

If anyone can tell me how to enable the ability to save during Nexus missions, I'd greatly appreciate it. I run the game on a console, so I can't go into the game files like a PC player can.

Can expedition 1, Pioneers, be completed in 3 days? [Question]

Hello, I just now noticed what was going on in No Man's Sky.

Long story short, I want to get the time limited items I missed out on, but I only now just saw the annocement that they were rerunning the expediton events.

I know this may be a foolish question, but can the event be done in 3 days before it ends on the 7th or have I shot myself in the foot?

What are the chances they will ever "re-run" these events again?
