Fully destroy base and start over. [Question]

Is there a way to fully destroy my base to start over? I haven’t played in almost a year and when I logged in I kinda wanted to start my base over, or maybe just make my capital ship my main base. If I can get the materials back that would be cool, but I for sure wouldn’t be able to carry it all. Thanks for the help y’all.

Should I go on Expeditions again? [Question]

The first time I went there was a player spawn killing me and I just left.

The second time I joined all was calm until I left the atmosphere where there was a player in a spaceship (A Class) that would try to destroy everyone exiting the planet as soon as they left.

Should I join a new expedition, or will the same things happen?

(So far I've been playing on Normal, so I'm not used to getting killed)

What are the highest base stats for a multi tool? [Suggestion]

I found a multi tool today. It's an experimental pistol type, white with a black square pattern and black hoses. I've read that experimental tools and pistol tools get a bonus to scan radius modules, or something like that. Anyways as the title says wanted to know the highest base stats for both damage and scan range you can find on a multi tool. This one has a base scan range of 400.0.

Settlement Building Decisions [Question]

Hi Guys,

Regarding settlement building decisions. If I choose option A, do I forever lose the ability to build option B?

For example last night I had the option to build a Utility Control Room, or a Starship Dock. I chose Utility Control Room because the settlement is on a pretty terrible planet and I thought maybe it would improve the settlement's conditions somehow, I'm new to settlements so no idea.

I'd really love to have a starship dock though - Will I ever get the opportunity to build it again?

Imagine if... [Discussion]

Imagine if there was an end-game type feature where we were able to create our own planet... Customising everything like the size, numbers and types of flora, fauna, rocks minerals etc. This would of course have to be insanely expensive, eg units, quicksilver, resource collection and maybe with greater sizes and customisation additions costing more. And maybe to unlock this feature there's a big mission to seek out some ancient being/knowledge. Or even bigger!!! Imagine being able to create an entire system! The type of sun/s, and each planet in it! What would you do/make if this kind of feature was added? What kind of limitations should something like this have? (Eg Ability to only ever do it once? Customising a planet/system affects the rest of the environment and makes unexpected changes?)

Quick question about long ranged Electromagnetic power transportation [Question]

I managed to find a hotspot on my home planet... about 750u away. Naturally, I doubt I can just wire it from point A to point B. I also doubt I'll be able to power my main base without a ton of solar panels that might cause a bit of lag on top of the already pretty heavy cost.

So I searched up how to bring power across long distances, and I did find out about "Pylons" - a few things, actually. For starters, you seem to need to expand the border of your base the entire way across. I suppose you could use multiple outpost-like bases (And I think I'll do just that) to act as a buffer as well as make the expansion less tiresome. Either way, 750u is a long distance, and you need these "Pylons" to bring the wires across.

From what I've seen, some of them look pretty fancy - but my question is, what parts are they using that I can connect wires to? I heard about people using a wiring glitch, but that brings me to the next issue - these posts were, like, a year a go. Some 2 years ago. So suffice to say, I feel like some of these guides might be a little outdated.

I want to know if it's possible to reliably transport my electromagnetic power the 750u distance it takes to get it to my base - and if so, how do I do that? Not having to make a platform full of solar panels and batteries sounds pretty good to me.

Help! Can't start any base missions [Question]

I'm on PC (Although, windows store so technically it shows as an xbox)

Anyway, I'm on the last phase of the current expedition. My issue isn't expedition related, I just mention it as I've been on this save a few days now. I should have triggered this mission by now.

I've built three bases but have yet to trigger the "Expanding your base" mission. I can't unlock any of the specialist terminals. It's driving me nuts.

I've done a lot of searching on this issue. I cannot pin the construction terminal from my catalogue. I've tried deleting a base. I've tried building a new one. I tried completing the Atlas Path missions. I've build square pre-fabs, I've built round ones. Nothing will trigger this mission. I have no "base archives" missions either. I did read that at one point it would unlock during the artemis missions but I don't know how to unlock that either. I've been to the anomaly 100 times in different systems. I can't get past the mission titled "The Space Anomaly - Beyond The System?" When I highlight that mission it tells me to speak to Nada and Polo. I go speak to them, Nada tells me to talk to Polo. Polo tells me some nonsense and my only option is to leave. This mission never advances either.

I've got a total of 7 different saves from when I first started playing this game a few months back. This is the first one I've had issues starting/triggering the base missions.

Someone please help me. This is supremely frustrating. The only base type mission I have been able to trigger was "Dreams of the Deep" and that only appeared after I completed the atlas missions. From what I remember, that just unlocks the underwater prefabs, but doesn't trigger the "expanding your base" mission I need to trigger. How the heck do I do that?!?

Thanks in advance to anyone that took the time to read and offer assistance! You are awesome!

Settlement in Hazardous Planet [Question]

I got my first settlement unfortunately on a hazardous planet. They get weather storms every 5 minutes but it doesn't last that long. I am thinking about changing it but I have already gotten too deep in developing it so will the weather not be a problem as I upgrade and improve the settlement?

Thank you in advance.

As a newish player (13h main save) doing the 2nd expedition was not the best experience [Discussion]

Hi everyone!

So let me start by saying that I love this game, and I don't want to 'hate' on Expeditions. I think they are a fun addition, but imo only for longer time players. I just completed (beelined) the 2nd expedition.. It was not a fun experience, but I want to finish (if that's possible) or experience the game in my own pace. When I got the frigate in the expedition..I wanted to give it away, because I feel like I didn't earn it. Some of you might say that I didn't have to do the expedition.

Well you are right objectively, but I am a completionist in games, and I didn't want to lose the rewards from the 2nd Expedition..I heard about FOMO, I think this is it or something like it. I would love if the expeditions would become available later for newer players to do in their own time. The issue with that would be that if would not be fair to players who completed them on time. The other idea would be to be able to buy the rewards with quicksilver. For example you could make the Normandy as a buyable frigate for a big amount. (I am not that familiar with quicksilver to say an amount, but it should be something that requires serious time investment, similar to the expedition). Maybe make it a one-time purchase thing, and older players could have the chance to get a second one.

Well, maybe this was discussed to death, but I wanted to share my toughts on this matter. Maybe other new players feel similarly. I need to take a break from the game right now, because I feel exhausted from the expedition.

Are only some expedition rewards cross save? [Question]

I have only had the game for around 3 weeks now and took part in the beachhead expedition, did the lot and can claim the rewards such as the Normandy, armour, decal etc in other saves. The Hadach's Discovery IH4 ship reward for phase 2 doesn't seem to be among them.

Is there a way to claim it in other saves that i've missed? Or are some phase rewards expedition save only?

Fighters from the Normandy? [Discussion]

Hi all! So I finally got the Normandy and I was in my main save flying around my freighter admiring it. All of a sudden hostile scan and five NPCs came at me.

To my surprise I saw fighters appear in my defense AND they were actually causing some damage to the enemies! They did NOT have green trails either but red!

Is this new and / or from the Normandy!?

I’m to attempt it again to see what happens.

How to select default ship? [Question]

I'm at the point in the game where I now have a couple of ships, an S-class Exotic and an S-class Fighter. The Fighter is my daily-driver, so to speak, but it seems every time a ship is teleported to me like when scrapping a ship in a space station, the Exotic gets teleported out to me and I'd need to either land and switch ships or call my freighter to change out. Is there a way to set it to where my fighter ship is the default one brought to me?

An LV Organ Maturing too early? [Spoilers] [Spoiler]

So trying to complete the Starbirth quest, at 1pm, I got to the part where I needed to get a Singularity Core, got the navigation data, got to the boundary failure, crafted Seeds of Glass, and present it, and obtained a grrowing singularity, nothing wrong, it said to wait 21h, later that evening, doing more nexus missions, complete it and on the way back I check my inventory, only to see a mature singularity core.

Has this happen to any1, or am I super lucky. Also I didnt change the date on my console in recent times.

Help stuck in death loop [Answered]

I was doing the main story and when I went through the portal for a second time it spawned me on a toxic planet, it immediately started to storm and I died cause I used all my sodium in the portal. I have no inventory and I spawn about 500u from my ship and can only make it 200u before I die. Most of my tools have been broken by now and if I manage to repair the I just die again and they break. Is there any way I can get off this planet or am I screwed.

#

You know what would be cool? [Suggestion]

If we organized a ‘ship meet’, something like a car meet.

It isn’t often a bigger number of players meet up online. I understand it’s difficult for some, especially without a portal and all the glyphs, but we could do it close to the center of Euclid.

What do y’all think?

Ships fly away as I enter a hanger or space station [Bug]

Whenever I enter the hanger of my freighter or I enter a space station, I see all AI ships leaving at the same time. This makes it hard to buy ships / sell / buy items. It seems to have started when I bought the freighter, and persists through restarts etc.

I cannot find any information on Google regarding this, and it seems like a bug. Does anyone know this, and how to fix it?

What is your most stupid action in permadeath ? [Question]

Well I killed myself after 13 hours of playing, probably the most luckiest save I will ever have.

A-class ships, alien multitool, 15+ multitool expansion modules and a 19-slot S-class freighter on my first encounter.

What did I do wrong ? ....I decided to shake have with a troubled Korvax taking down my shield and leaving me with one health. I jet pack over to where I know there is a health station..........and I slam into the wall and kill myself.

I have NO idea you could damage yourself if you flew into a wall 0-o landing from a high place sure but side ways ?

It suprised me so much I shouted out NOOO ><

So while I take some time out before starting again I want to ask you all... what is your most stupid action you have taken in a permadeath run ?

And just in case people doubt I did find an S-class freighter

Claiming systems? [Question]

Drop pod disappeared when I went to grav required materials from storage. [Bug]

Why? Why would it do that? What's the point of needing materials like sodium nitrate or chromatic metals that don't seem to be useful to carry all the time if the game punishes you for going to get it? Drop pods must have trash loot if they are clearly not that important (despite in my scant 20 hours of playing only finding 1 coordinate for one)

Deploying the myth beacon [Question]

Is there a single specific system for the myth beacon to lead to, across all games, like a rendnevous? or is it like other missions and just picks a location within a certain distance of that player upon mission start?

I activated the myth beacon from my exosuit inventory, and the pulse comes out, there is a prompt saying to check the galaxy map, and a path for 'current mission'. I've made about 15x 500ly jumps now, and the line just seems to keep extending, there is no marker on for the myth beacon next to the system, just the current mission route.

I've tried reactivating it a few times and nothing different. I have it set as the current objective in the log and expedition, if it that is important.

All I can really think is the distance it can be from activation site is huge, or there is one specific and I'm the other side of the galaxy from it when I took a black hole to find 4 undiscovered systems

Tips to find final fauna? [Question]

So I prefer to 100% my fauna on worlds and after an extremely annoying rare underground spawn on my last one that ended up spawning above ground I am now on an ocean planet missing a final underwater creature.

It is listed as Rare/Underwater/Always Active/Found in the South.

I have flown to the southern hemisphere assuming the marker on the planet in discoveries is accurate and have been swimming underwater in the "oceans" (deepest point I found is only 25 units). I even dug a big pit underwater down to the 50 unit max depth and nothing.

I've read other threads that say it's probably a predator in deeper parts but the biggest ocean I could find was still only 25u deep.

I've tried throwing creature pellets, leaving the planet and coming back later, saving and reloading, leaving the water so animals despawn and then going back in to spawn new ones.

I'm hoping that since the threads google gave me are a year or two old that there is some newer method to finding these things.

Now for PC users: Importable bases [Base Building]

https://preview.redd.it/u5bou9oj3m581.jpg?width=3840&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b0da41adfbbd09fd658b22d14fad710f8fdb31fc

There are a lot of folks who love making bases in NMS. (Like me!) There are also a ton of people who don't. It's my assertion that regardless of whether they like making bases, or feel they can't make a good one of their own, everyone deserves a decent base or ten.

PC players can use a save editor to backup and restore bases, but this keeps them in their original location. I then started looking into ways to make it so a base layout can be imported by anyone, in a location of their choosing. I came up with this.

In the save file, all base part positioning is relative to the position and facing of the base computer as originally placed. Importing a base works by pasting in a list of base parts in the save editor, without the base computer. So, you place a base computer in the game and make a save, paste a block of text in the editor, and bam: base!

I've uploaded one such base to github so far, with more to follow. Of course, anyone is free to make an importable base template. Instructions for importing a base (as well as a little info about making your own) are here.

Returning player, need help with a few Expedition milestones! [Question]

I played about 15 hours a couple years ago, enjoyed the game, but became busy with other things & didn't return. I've heard about the Normandy being available, and would really like to obtain it, but some steps in the expedition I really can't seem to complete. I cannot find an atlas station, or do anything in phase beyond the rendezvous. Only one milestone other than the rendezvous is currently intelligible, which is to "collect flux readings for nada," which asks for data from alien artifact sites, which doesn't sound too bad, but I have no navigation data to purchase things from the cartographer to do this! Any advice on the Atlas station or finding nav data / artifact sites would be greatly appreciated!

A question regarding multi-tools [Question]

I have been searching for S rank tools lately. I am using a method I learned on accident (manual save on each planet apparently changes the space station cabinet contents, and yes, after learning it, I do understand I'm not special or anything for having discovered something players have probably been doing for ages....)

So the question is: is there any reason I shouldn't try to find A class cabinets for things like the alien or experimental tools, then upgrade to S using nanites? I know it's expensive, but in 140 systems I have only seen one S.

Expedition Redux- Anyone else seem to share a Freighter? [Question]

So this is a little odd. Exp 2 redux, when I first got to my freighter ( phase 1?) I went to the Bridge ready to make a jump, a player was already there by the control. They had the little white dot above them and everything. They then seemed to 'blink about' a bit then walked off and vanished in the corridor.

Ok thought I, someone just happened upon my freighter and got ahead if me, right?

However from that point onwards, save points, refiners of different sizes and items kept appearing in my freighter everytime I went back, to the point that I removed all my machinery from the big room and ended up using the stuff that kept materialising/ laying about in the corridors. Also, a whole storage room appeared ( don't recal them being standard?).

Does the Brain Trust have any thoughts? A bug? Or an actual HAUNTED FREIGHTER screeeeeeeeeeeee

Sci-fi Audiobooks + NMS = heaven [Discussion]

I've recently started listening to audiobooks, and I love science fiction. And also lately I've been playing so much NMS that I decided to combine the two.

I put on my headphones and continue listening to my current read, while floating around the galaxy looking for that perfect planet to make a base.

It's a match made in Heaven.

Myth beacon bug? (Exp phase 5 mission 3) [Question]

Hey guys,

Suggestions for building pieces or wanted changes for existing pieces [Discussion]

As title says, I wanted to see if people had ideas for building pieces.

For me I would love to see:

Circular landing pads Downward and upward spiraling prefab hallways to connect two buildings without the use of the central ladder. Changes to the central ladder so it no longer automatically locks us into climbing it if we get close to it. Fish tanks that are size adjustable (Subnautica inspired) for aquatics

Additions I would like to see is a robot that you can program on a computer that automatically mines with a limited cargo pod that will return when full and drop off to a connected storage facility

Did settlements become obsolete? [Discussion]

I love this game, but hit a wall a little while ago where I honestly got bored of it. I was excited to see some new content with settlements but it didnt keep me playing the game for long.

Anyone else think that cooking update would be cool? [Suggestion]

It doesn't even have to be its own update. I would be happy if it was part of another update. I just think that there is no real reason to cook in no man's sky other than to impress iteration cronus. And after that it does nothing but give you a sprint boost, which is useless when you could just use your companion. I think more effects obtainable from cooking would help give a real reason to cook. Like jetpack surges, extra damage ect. A recipe log would also be good. Every time you find out how to make a new thing (by making it) it gets added to the log, where you can view the ingredients. You could also send recipes to other players to help fill their logs as well.

At this point, I'd like for HG to start saving their new ideas for No Man's Sky 2. [Discussion]

I've been as hyped and in love with this game as anyone (probably more than most since I've been enthralled since it was first announced and never lost faith in it), and the free updates have been wonderful ... but now I think it's time for HG to take what they've learned and start from the ground up with an improved version of this engine and a MUCH stronger foundation (concerning NPC behavior, faction warfare, quests, zone conquest, all that AWESOME stuff that would really sell NMS to the masses and make it SO much better for old fans alike), and just start work on the sequel.

Aren't we ready for something more to look forward to than another layer of albeit beautifly decorated fondant on this NMS cake? Lets watch what happens when we release them from this pattern of expectation and let them build something that is more than this "proof of concept" that NMS has been if we're honest.

What does everyone else think?

How to get two Normandy's [Information]

Ok successfully did this twice now.

Do the mission, at the Normandy I paused at each stage / menu for a minute or so then paused at the "connect to ship vi" for ~2 to 3 minutes and I believe the software has some check in it that is "hey this guy hasn't taken something I better send another but it's stuck on that menu, so when you finally answer the other one is in the Q. I saw two distinct ships this time and had to interact and go through the menu's on both this time.

1st time around I didn't go through all the menu's for the second one, it went right to the accept ship

So I think something like that is going on???

Exotic ship color suddenly changed [Bug]

Hi,

So i was using one exotic ship all my save game, white and gold (my go to colors), and over the course of my playthrough (about 150 hours) i claimed two more white and gold/silver exotics. I left those last two in my freighter to look at. Today i decided to upgrade one of them and made it my active ship, flew into a space station and the white color changed to blue. I returned with dissapointment to my freighter, picked up the third one, back to the space station.. Turned blue.. I am a hundred percent sure they were white when bought and still shown as white in my freighter all the time.. Someone any clue whats going on ?

Waking Titan [Information]

Reading this forum, I often see several game questions asked often: 1. What is "sixteen"? 2. What really is the Atlas? 3. Why is the Atlas breaking down? 4. What did -null- do?

Doing some computer housecleaning, I came across my info on the 'Waking Titan' ARG (alternate reality game) that is intimately connected to No Man's Sky and some of its deeper mysteries.

Here's a link to the Game Detectives summary: Waking Titan

Here's one to the Waking Titan megathread on reddit: Waking Titan megathread

Some of the links to material are broken or have been taken off the net after the WT ARG ended, but many of the links at Game Detectives still work for PDFs and images. If anyone's interested, I can upload what I have (not complete but much) to mega or some other free download service.

This stuff will answer many in-game questions and create more questions in your mind as you play the game. Have fun!

Since 2016 [Discussion]

I preordered NMS and it came out and got such negative reviews. I enjoyed it and played through everything I could, maxing out everything. That save is 46 hours.

I played through again in 2018 (over 2 years since release), so much had changed and I enjoyed it like a brand new game. Completed everything available and maxed everything. That save is 74 hours.

I just started playing it again three days ago, 3.3 years since my last play through. Oh my god!!! Almost every aspect of this game looks brand new. I’m only 15 hours in and can already tell that I’m in it for the long haul. All the new content over the last 3 years, to complete everything to the max that I can and the way I play (investigating anything that looks interesting) I’m guessing at least 150 hours for this run and I’m so excited for it!!

Can anyone give me some tips on earning early game credits? I’m floundering on that account and need a bigger ship and better multi tool.

Expedition 2 Beachhead Guide: Normandy for Beginners [Information]

I’m fairly new to NMS and just got the Normandy in Expedition #2: Beachhead, and wanted to make a guide for beginners going over the steps that more experienced players might take for granted.

I used these videos from Whisky Barrel Gaming to guide myself, but some details have changed (like the star system locations for the rendezvous points).

Normandy in 90 minutes: https://youtu.be/OzpP3n5cjZE

Full Beachhead playthrough: https://youtu.be/oYCVXNFUxGk

I believe you have until late Sunday night (in the US) to complete expedition milestones and get rewards (like the Normandy for your frigate fleet). As of this writing, that’s 4 days left. I took 11 hours to get to the Normandy, but I completed most of the other milestones along the way and wasted a bunch of time checking out player bases - you don’t have to all that!

Steps below (please let me know in the comments if anything is incorrect or can be done more easily than I’ve said): Scan the large shell shaped mineral, and mine some to get ferrite dust and dihydrogen You have good weather protection, so if you’re quick mining you don’t necessarily have to mind the storms Otherwise you can use your terrain manipulator to dig a small tunnel to wait out a storm in Scan and mine a smaller mineral that will give you ferrite dust. Use 75 to repair your scanner in your multitool inventory Scan a couple of plants and mine them for carbon to recharge your mining beam (d-pad down, then up to select Rechage Equipment - recharge mining beam Once you’ve collected 250 pure ferrite, craft 5 metal plating in your exosuit inventory Build a nomad geobay (press up on d-pad) to deploy a nomad exocraft. Press x while hovering over the geobay to deconstruct it and regain your resources, then back out of the build menu and hold X to get in...

VR version... G2... control confusion... main menu? [Question]

I just fired up NMS in VR and wow. Amazing. The heck with the missions, I could just walk and fly around sight-seeing forever :-) but anyway, my enjoyment is somewhat limited by my inability to access the main menu and by a mystery in the VR tute prompts.

The mystery comes in when the game tells me to press [yellow triangle with an exclam in it] to do something or other. There's no button anywhere on my G2 controllers with a yellow warning triangle on it, and I don't see one in the environment or on my wrists or anywhere. Dumb question? maybe, but what is it with that yellow triangle?

Second thing, no clue is offered as to how I access the main game menu. I've tried every button on my controllers, and nothing seems to pop up the main menu. So I can't tweak my locomotion mode or graphics settings or anything.

The VR version, despite lots of helpful popup prompts, feels kind of obscure so far, like you're just supposed to know stuff even on the first trial. I'd sure like to get it figured out, because holycow, the VR version imho finally realises the true beauty of the concept. It's like this game was always born to be VR and flatscreen was just an evolutionary phase. Fantastic.

The "pull" mechanism takes some getting used to but I'm starting to like it. Quite original.

Beachhead expedition re-run has got me properly into this game, can I still do all the story and everything after it converts to a Normal save? [Question]

So this expedition re-run has finally properly got me into NMS, starting with a Freighter and stuff has really helped my enjoyment of the game. This has probably been asked multiple times before but when it converts to a Normal save in a few days can I do all the main story stuff?

I seem to be able to progress the Atlas questline just fine while it's still running in Expedition mode, but the quest to speak to Polo and Nada in the Anomaly (Outside the System or something similar) just doesn't seem to be working, I click the quest, go speak to them and I've got no dialogue options that seem to advance anything.

My main save before this only has like 15 or something hours on it and booting that save up feels like such a slowdown and loss of progression (no freighter, only got starter ship etc.) that it'd kinda kill my enjoyment if I wasn't able to progress the story properly on the Expedition save. On my Normal save I've got to the point where I've built a base computer and a small base, a couple of research station things with people hired for them, met Polo and Nada and just spoken to Artemis and started the ley line quest. Will the Anomaly quest progress and the base-building quest trigger when the Expedition save gets converted? Do I need to do anything to trigger the base-building and Artemis questlines, and should I wait until the save gets converted to try and trigger them?

Also will continuing on the Expedition save mean I don't get to experience as unique a universe as my original Normal save contained? (since the Expedition universe is presumably pre-generated and the same for everyone).

Any help much appreciated, in a slightly confused place atm.

Help please. Space stations not registering in multi-player. [Question]

So you know how when you go to a space station for the first time you just have to interact with the teleporter to add it to your list of locations you can teleport to? Well apparently it doesn't work when you're in a group. I'm in a group of 2, a friend and I.

I experienced this last time I tried playing in a group of 2 with a different friend. But I did something to fix it and it has worked ever since. I could have sworn all I did was exit the group (so we were both solo), then interacted with the space station gate and then one other space station gate and that fixed it. But apparently not!! 🙁

I've tried warping from it to a base. From a different space station to a base. Between bases in the same system. Between bases in different systems. And nothing.

Does anyone know what to do to fix this? I'm on PS5 while the friend is on Xbox. Thanks for any feedback!

Freighter Painting is still broken then? [Question]

Spent about 5 hours yesterday save scumming my way to a beautiful black and blue S class resurgent freighter.

Unfortunately when I got it there was this terrible looking yellow around the bridge area that I couldn’t get rid of when I changed colours. I also couldn’t even change the base colour from black.

Did a bit of Googling and apparently this is something to do with the colour black being bugged? I also get that weird base colour/patina thing that everyone talks about, that I didn't notice when I was searching for the thing.

Any solutions for this? I don’t want to have to go looking for a new freighter unless I have no other choice, but I’m seeing posts about this issue from last year and nothing about it being fixed.

My thoughts on NMS for new players [Information]

I have 55.4hrs in this game, which is by no mean, a lot. But I think I can condense some of my thoughts on No Man's Sky for people who is looking to buy it. This is because NMS's community is VERY hopeful and sometimes biased towards the game (from what I can search). Bad things often get brushed away and everyone is always praising Hello Game for turning a product around, which is awesome and historic, but it doesn't matter to a completely new player.

Overall, the game is wonderful, for a certain kind of people. Firstly, the good things with it:

  • Game is very good looking. It's not the best, but it has its own style, has its own charm in certain places, especially with all kinds of VFX.

  • Game has a story, whole questlines even, which is often absent in Survival game (so no meaning to whatever you do), the quests have good directions, serve as a form of tutorial, pretty good.

  • Good UI once you get used to it, this is a double edged sword though, it's super unintuitive at the start, maybe that's just me but that's how I feel.

  • You have 255 galaxies to explore, with a LOT, a LOT of side content. You have exocrafts/ships (airplanes + cars), you have pets you can ride/modify/feed, you have bases you can build (they actually look pretty good), you have things you can mine, enemies you can shoot at.

  • The community is both huge and helpful (I haven't encountered much of this, but I have heard so).

  • Mining feels damn good, the mining laser and terrain manipulation feels like playing an ARPG with the VFX/Sound/Screen Shake. They even added a minigame of keeping your laser almost overheat to make mining not a slog. Basic materials like Ferrite/Carbon are actually super easy to get, unlike in many games.

  • Super casual game, a lot of breathing room, you basically cannot die if you don't find dangers. Pretty chill atmosphere as well.

Onto the...

Are you KANEVILEJUGGALO? [Discussion]

If so, how Dare you. You ungrateful little brat. You begged me for resources on the Anomaly, then after I graciously gave you a stasis device you joined my Mission to build a base for polo. One of the easiest multi-player missions there is. HOWEVER you refused to build so much as a single battery. You just stood around, followed me, and begged for resources again! Then you just dropped out of the mission without a word! All of that I could forgive except for one thing. The Star System we were in was MINE! I DISCOVERED IT! but YOU went and uploaded the barest bits of data you had and STOLE MY DISCOVERY! I HADNT UPLOADED IT YET BECAUSE I WANTED TO MAXIMISE MY NANITES! Now I have to stare at your UGLY NAME EVERY SINGLE DAY because the game thinks YOU discovered it.

Companion Register should be massively expanded, it could be its own damn game [Suggestion]

Very new player here, really loving everything so far. I wish there was a way to turn on "sim mode" to make the flying feel less on-rails because that has pretty much been the only disappointment. I looked up a mod that can help with this but I'm not really at the point where I want to mess with mods.

Anyways my main issue is the Companion Register. Hello Games has built a friggin procedural generated Pokemon game here and they're just limiting you to 6. I'd like to keep a lot more than that, travelling to planets and specifically hunting for the weirdest things you can find, and then trading them or crossbreeding with other people's pets in the Space Anomaly would be cool. Maybe you can still only have 6 on you at a time but the Anomaly has the Companion Hotel where all the rest get taken care of. Yeah the planet generating tech is cool and all but I feel like the real gem is the random animals.

Basically I just want a big collection of freaks, like my sentient sphere, and rocket cube. And maybe introduce some sort of trading economy where there's an incentive to find new stuff and trade them with the other players or try to combine traits of your 2 creatures.

EDIT: i dont even care about making them fight, i dont need that at all. just the collecting/trading

ok this is my fan fiction thx for reading <3

Nexus mission bug? [Question]

I just completed the “Burrowing Terror” mission by killing 44 monstrosities. I get back to space and it’s prompting me to return to the abandoned site as if I didn’t kill them. No progress registered whatsoever after just getting a notification to return to the terminal. Did anyone else ever have this issue? Kind of frustrating since the planet was super awful and required me to continually get in and out of ship due to irradiated super cells. I did collect a few storm crystals after killing them, before jetting back up into space, so did this interrupt the mission?

If anyone knows how I can avoid this again, please divulge. Thanks

Water/Ship/Freighter Updates | How far away? [Question]

I was honestly surprised when water wasn't fixed in the Frontiers update, and slightly less surprised that new ships were not included.

How many updates away do you think we are from seeing these changes?

I'm hoping we are 1 or 2 updates away from a fix for the water.. My reasoning.. the water has been broken since Atlas Rises (correct me if I'm wrong). It is a pretty glaring issue that I assume they haven't fixed yet because they have been developing a new water system entirely that takes priority over fixing the current issue.

As far as updated ships and freighters... my hopes are for a new space combat/flying system that has a new but familiar feel. Again I'd like to assume that instead of just adding new ship model parts they are going above and beyond with their changes and so it has taken a little longer. (maybe current ship designs will become neat OG "collectables" to find. I'd expect a change like this to come with the next anniversary update or after. I think these are high hopes though and fully anticipate the water change to happen over this change.

Other things I'd like to see...

  • Visibly holstered multitools

  • User ship management system and UI

  • Generally restructured freighter docking system and design update

Can you extract your builds? [Question]

So I've been building in this game for years, and I absolutely love it. I'm playing on PS5 and wanted to know if there was any possible way to extract the build data so that my homes could be used elsewhere. I have no idea if this is possible, but figured I'd ask. Thanks!

Too many planets with boiling rainstorms [Suggestion]

Anybody else finding this in the last 2 years or so? I love the idea of stormy planets but sometimes I really dont. It'd be nice if bad weather was more localised to certain parts of a planet eg away from the equator or something so that I can enjoy the planet how I like.

I found a relict of the past in the depths of my freighter storage [Screenshot]

I normally don't use the storage containers. i'm more of a traveling nomad than a material hoarder.

But today i paid my freigher a visit and looked into the storage container.

And i found a single cobalt mirror in one of them. I will never give this away.

How many galaxies are there? Have they all been discovered? [Discussion]

Can you aquire the same ship again from the system you bought it from? [Question]

So can you aquire the same ship again for the system you original bought it in or once you buy it removed from circulation? Play NMS for bit but almost never buy ship from npc, always find decent ship wreaked. But found a small blue ball exotic for 5mil and decide might as well. For now though I'm focused on getting my starter ship and my fighter maxed out space and class wise and want to scrap all my other ships so I can gather 4 wreaks to repair before going to the station to scrap them. But not sure if I could aquire the exotic down the line again, not exactly impressed with its performance but it looks cool, and might take want to play with configure it later. So don't want to scrap it if I can't aquire it again down the line.

Experimental ROLE PLAY - No Man's Sky server. [Question]

Multiverse System RP. Four planets and a large moon compose the existing "Multiverse-System" A place where travelers, lost souls, wanderers and space entrepreneurs arrive with the intention to thrive, hide or create a new life. Claim your grounds, seek for a civilization to live with, or claim your on land to start your optimal idea of society. Always beware of the greedy pirates and black souls that will roam about.

Rules:

1.- Your character must have a "motive" to arrive on the Multiverse System, aswell as an objective to remain there. Your story will be set out from that point on.

2.- Planets have their own rules. If you want to inhabit one, you'll have to explore it until you find its warden.

3.- If the planet it's unclaimed, you'll have the liberty to do as you please.

4.- The server is an open world. Therefore, when and if you encounter other people, they might be RP'ers or "Regs" who only came to the System by chance. You need to remain in character and act accordingly always, and see what kind of situation or scenarios develops.

5.- You MUST have PVP enabled.

6.- Random Deathmatch (RDM) / Vehicle Deathmatch (VDM) is not allowed.

Discord: https://discord.gg/C3XwdWba ---> Select the role.

Hello! This is just a little idea and system that will be enabled for anyone who likes to experience new stuff.

Can't Warp to Galaxy Center [Bug]

Has anyone experienced Galaxy Center Warp just stop working? I'm at Galaxy #7 core, having just jumped from Galaxy 2 over the course of a few hours.

On the Galaxy Map, I can target and plot the path to the center (the single straight path line is slowly drawn, along with the slower than usual circle confirm, taking about 6 seconds or so. The cameral targets/snaps to the Galaxy Center, I get the (X) Warp button option, but when I press it, nothing happens. No sound or feedback, no error.

I've tried multiple ships, as well as multiple "gateway" systems, Hyperdrive is obviously charged. Restarted the game. Waited a few days. Lol, I'm out of ideas.

Can I remap controls in VR? [Question]

This seems so dumb, but I cant seem to find the answer? In flat mode, remapping controls is simple, open up the options, controls, theres a menu for remap. In VR mode though, I cant seem to find it. This all comes up because I upgraded from HTC vive wands to Valve Index Knuckles controllers, and some of the buttons are different, and some are shared in odd ways (like the scan and the tag button being the same when in scanner mode, whenever i scan anything, it also tags whatever is closest to the center of the screen..). Can these be changed?

18 hours in [Question]

I had a few days off and downloaded this game for the first time since a month after launch with 4 hours and MAN I hit 18 hours QUICK. I’m still completely lost and just made my first 10 mil units converting cobalt (got that from a video) got a nice new ship and a nice new multi tool. One thing I’m curious about is the languages. I’ve spent most of my time doing two things: farming cobalt and oxygen, and trying to learn as many words as possible and am sure I want to try 100%ing the vocabulary, is there any way to speed that aspect up? Instead of going word by word, or is it intentionally that way. Also is the main story something I should rush or will I eventually hit a skill/gear ramp up?

Any way to unfuck A Leap in the Dark? [Bug]

Long story short, I had to stop playing in the middle of a leap in the dark. I went back to my base so I could log off, but somehow the system’s station didn’t save, so I couldn’t return to that system to continue it later.

I tried following the system map to get back to where I was, but after a while the green lines showing me where to go (from the pathing to “current mission” on the galaxy map) just vanished. Couldn’t continue further, couldn’t find the mission marker on the galaxy map.

So I restarted the missions by holding the middle mouse button, but it gave me the same exact problem.

No visible marker on the galaxy map, after a while of following the lines to track the “current mission” they just fade out of existence. I thought maybe it only shows a certain amount of lines, so I made 30 warp fuels and jumped for about half an hour following the lines.

Long after I had actually lost my patience with it, particularly with having to wait for the load screen every. Single. Warp. The same thing happened. No more lines, no visible quest marker. In the system I ended up in, it still said “your mission is in another system, consult the galaxy map”.

Have I just completely fucked it up? I’ve made so much progress I don’t want to have to completely restart the game, but I can’t even seem to get back to where I was so I can progress.

Refund due to technical issues? [Question]

Hey all. Bought the game on Steam and assumed it would be fine as my GTX 1050 > the minimum required GTX 480 IIRC.

However it ran very poorly. I thought it was something I would be able to fix so I spent around 4 hours in game troubleshooting, and maybe more looking around on YouTube and Reddit.

It should be clear that I did not even get through the tutorial as I have completed absolute zero achievements.

I have submitted two refund requests and both have been denied. I have had really great experiences with Steam support in the past and am wondering if this is due to a chance in policy.

I was also hoping some of you would have suggestions on what I should do. Is it worth trying to contact the game devs directly?

I was really excited to play this game with my buddies as it looked absolutely beautiful but unfortunately it just isn’t running properly on my system.

I got it half off but it still it wasn’t cheap :/

What if the AI in NMS was likable? [Suggestion]

Right now the suits AI does its job of notifying the player of its needs but what if it did more? Itd be nice to find a planet full of life and be Congratulated by it or perhaps find a barren wasteland and have it feel dread. If the player developed an attachment to the AI it would maybe help make a once desolate planet more bearable knowing you have someone with you. Something like Sam from mass effect.

BG music recommendation Cliff Martinez - Drive [Suggestion]

I don’t see a lot of music recommendations here so I thought I’d bring it up. I like the music in the game (quite a bit actually), but sometimes I crave something different.

I recommend checking out Cliff Martinez - Drive album on Spotify (or maybe some other source, Spotify is my goto).

Edit: here’s a link to the album: Cliff Martinez - Drive

Don’t let the first song fool you, just let that whole album play in the background as you explore the never-ending universe. You won’t be disappointed. I feel like it fits the game really well!

Newb question about expeditions and playing after its over [Question]

Howdy folks, I am relatively new to the game. I've done all of expedition 3, 1, and 2. I plan on doing #4 when it comes up.

However I see that I can keep playing, and I still have my saves from them (about 30 hours for 1 and 2, and about 40 for 3). So I was trying to figure out which one I should keep going on.

I have loads of resources on all 3 saves, and a bunch of shops and a freighter for each one.

It looks like Expedition 1 would be the best to continue because of the multi-tool, and the two ships, but I wasn't 100% on that.

Or should I start a whole new game? Is the regular game different than expeditions?

I accidentally remove the Phase Beam from the Golden Vector without realizing that the Starship has no Photon Cannon. Accidentally having one of the most unique experiences in the game. [Discussion]

Phase Beam removed and low Tirium, in other circumstances I just have to shot some asteroids and get fuel, only for one problem... no weapons or any medium to build a new one.

Stranded in space I star crashing against asteroids, searching for close planetary stations and how to evade sentinels, arriving in freighters in search of Tirium or the materials for the Photon Cannon without any luck. I crash against more asteroids getting some Tirium and then during warp I recieve an hostile scan, and for the first time in 600 hours... I bribe the pirates to leave me alone.

At the end I find my way on a planetary station, finding materials and building the Photon Cannon. This could sound like a complain, but was actually really refreshing feeling stranded and vulnerable for once, this make me wish that more mechanics around fuel and damage where implemented.

But what are your opinions guys?, things like this need to be more common but with mechanics dedicated to them?, like instead of the ship crashing in planets, having the starship damage in the middle of space and you trying to mine asteroids while pirates and sentinels harass you.

Ps: This really happen to my, I feel like I sof-block the game for me (LoL).

So the other day I put in the nms disc, and it wouldn't load. I checked for scratches (there aren't any) and I gave it a good cleaning. Every single game I have is on disc and they all work except nms so I figured it was damaged. I went ahead and bought a new copy on amazon (sealed) and it still won't work?? I tried resetting my Xbox, clearing the cache, persistent storage, and I even unplugged it and hit it up with some condensed air. I don't think it's the drive cause literally every other game and DVD I have works fine. So could it be a licensing glitch or what? Any help or advice would be appreciated.

If you could edit your bytebeat with professional audio tools, what would you do? [Discussion]

title. i asked last week if anyone would like to hear their bytebeat song remixed or expanded upon in any you want but no bites (read: bytes). I just love no mans sky and i love making electronic music, i would love to fullfill someones wish to hear their bytebeat edited in a way thats meaningful to them!

on a separate note, what is the flair used for bytebeat posts? do the mods just prefer we replace the general selection with more specific flair where appropriate? or would fan work [video] suffice in the case of uploading to youtube, even with a static image

Multi-Tool idea [Suggestion]

So, the melee attack exists in case you run out of fuel for your mining laser, right? Well what if instead of just smashing at whatever you're trying to break with your multi-tool, there should instead be a built-in knife that unsheathes itself when you melee. Good idea??

Base computer gone and I don't know how to progress with archives mission [Question]

The base computer at my first base dissapeared. The waypoint icon thing still eminates from where I placed it, but there is no physical computer.

Collapsing/repurposed temple base (Unfinished) [Screenshot]

https://imgur.com/a/1Hqaq41

Here's a few pictures of the base I've been working on in NMS for the past week or so. Unfortunately I hit the 3,000 building piece cap way earlier than I would have liked, so it's incomplete in pretty much every way, but I still think it's cool enough to share. The imgur link has a description of what my general plans were for the base, but i guess I was too ambitious for the game. It's already got problems loading that many parts, as the pop-in is horrible. Simply walking forward is enough to outpace the collision loading, and moving too far away with the building camera makes me fall through the build.

The general theme/story I was going for is a massive, ancient religious temple for a long dead civilization. This temple was starting to collapse, namely the support pillars under the bridge, and was found by a technologically advanced civilization. They built strange metallic/magical supports around the temple to prevent it from fully collapsing, then disappeared again. In recent times, it was found by an explorer (probably me lol), and retro fitted into a main base and trading center. Again, sadly I was stopped by the building (or rather upload) limit. I don't see much point in continuing building it if I can't share it with the community in person. :/

Creatures [Question]

So, I started a new game and I’m getting back into it after a while of not playing, and I saw this creature that I would love very much to tame. I haven’t visited too many places yet, only around 10 planets. I believe this was in a beginner planet in my first system, to narrow it down even more. I didn’t get a chance to scan the creature, so are there any way ways to find out which planet the creature was on? TIA

Base built right next to base? [Question]

When I try to build a base at rendezvous points, it's rather difficult for me, because there are bases everywhere. When I try to place a base computer, it's red saying that I can't place it within someone's territory. Sometimes after I place the base computer, it doesn't let me claim the land because it says someone else owns the land. I assume this is because the user has not uploaded their base and they're offline. My issue is that in the past few bases I have built, the next time I've logged on I've found someone's built a base like 10 steps away from mine. How're they able to do that, when I have such a hard time finding eligible territory anywhere remotely close to other people?

How to learn blueprints? [Question]

I have a question. I have unlocked everything I can get for salvaged data. I like to collect these decorative items from anomaly planets to decorate my bases. I store then in my freighter and everytime I need it I spawn my freighter into the atmosphere and place them directly without going into any storage box. But in build menu it says I can place 999 of them. But if the stuff is not close by then it doesn't show up in the build menu at all. When ich checl the info screen on that Item, it says 1000x salvaged data to unlock blueprint. I've started collecting like a maniac. I already have about 460modules stored away.

Later I found an item in my storage boxes that told me 50x salvaged data to learn blueprint. So I took this item into my inventory, also the needed data, but nothing showed up. It still says 50x to unlock and I don't know how to learn the blueprints?

Does anyone have an idea?

Is the inside of the space anomaly actually inside the space anomaly? [Question]

When passing through the entrance, where the light blinds you, I always got the feeling I was being transported somewhere else.

Perhaps this is also a form of protection, the entrance could be attacked and destroyed, but not the station.

Frost planets causing game crashes? (PC) [Question]

I've had random crashes in the game (freezes for a while, then drops to desktop). This only happens in NMS, no other game. However, I noticed that they happen much more commonly on frozen planets.. like on this one I am on now, it crashed 3 times just travelling the surface on foot.

Is this a known issue, or something I can do to reduce the chance of crashes? I'm losing motivation fast, since this can cost me 30+ minutes of what little time I have after work.

I'm running an 10800k with a 3060Ti. Nothing is overheating.

Gamebreaking freighter base bug [Bug]

The idiot settlers [Discussion]

Every time the settlers come to me... their grand overseer... with an expedition request... I think to myself, what happened last time. Oh yeah it cost me 53000 and 2 -4 of you died. Well. Surely it can't happen twice in a row.

OK it did. Well. Surely it can't happen 3 times in a row.

How Do I Get Back Into NMS After a 2-Year Haitus? [Question]

There have been like 20 GB of Updates since I put down NMS but I don't really understand how to experience them. I put the game down in 2019 after getting all those seeds and the ability to create a planet. I have bases on several planets throughout the galaxy, a crapload of credits and various resources... but when I launch the game nothing really looks all that different. There are annoying weather events and some visual aspects are improved (which actually I don't like because my 1660 is struggling a bit now).

Aside from just randomly going to planets and collecting resources, what am I supposed to do? I don't see any new main quests... what exactly was added in the last 2 major updates and how do I go enjoy it? It took forever to download; what the heck is it? I guess I'm talking about Frontiers, Expeditions and Prism, maybe more—Basically everything that has come out since October 2019.

Thanks.

Game always ends up freezing [Question]

Hello,

I got the game on Gamepass for PC with the $1 trial about a week or 2 ago and was playing it without too many issues on my older 1080 rig. There were a few stutters and the graphics had to be turned down but it was playable. I recently got a new system with a 3080, I7-11700F, 16GB RAM. When I run the game I get nearly 144fps with all settings at ultra, FPS 144 cap, VSync off, motion blur off and I've tried both DLSS and TAA. GPU temps never reach more than 75C, CPU temps get to about 80 at most. However, my game will just randomly freeze. I haven't been able to find a common reason, it seems to just happen at any point no matter where I am or what I'm doing. The timing isn't always the same but it never seems to last more than 20 - 30 minutes. I have all my system monitors up and nothing seems out of the ordinary when it freezes, it runs perfectly fine then just stops. I still hear game audio but nothing on screen moves and I don't hear my player moving if I try to move around. This game is one of the reasons I got the new rig and having these issues is killing me lol. The game and my Nvidia drivers are both up to date. Was wondering if anyone happened to have any solutions as I can only find older threads with no real resolutions. I've tried reinstalling the game and running as admin but neither seemed to help.

Difficulty of an abandoned freighter vs Level of Tech [Question]

Hi all. Does the difficulty of an abandoned freighter have any bearing on the grade of tech frim the engineering console?

For example some AF's have as few as 8 or 9 rooms with just a few green jelly fish about and some AF's can have 12 or 13 rooms full of those crab aliens from the balloon nests that are a pain in the butt.

So do the harder freighters have an increased chance to give A and S class technology? Or is it completely random?

Is it just me or are underground creatures like.....the slowest/rarest spawns in the entire game? I have done every conceivable thing to get things to spawn.

I'm on the verge of swearing off discovering any creature on a planet that has the "Underground" tag on it, no matter the rarity. Don't tell me the creature is "always active" and then proceed to let me waste 2 hours of my life waiting around for it to spawn while I strip mine every resource within blasting distance to break up the boredom.

2 tips for low/med spec PCs [Information]

Not sure if this will help everyone in this situation, but thought I'd post it here!

Honestly all I wanted was High texture graphics on 4GB RAM and Radeon Vega 8 card without the game being unplayable and noticed Steam was taking up a crap ton of memory running at the same time as NMS. Made a desktop shortcut to NMS and turned off Steam Overlay, so now I don't open Steam in its own window (just click the nms shortcut).

Also I have the free version of Kapersky Anti Virus software which has a "gaming mode" (turns off a bunch of functions when it detects a game) which lowers the memory it's taking up.

These 2 things and I swear to god I went from an unplayable game that kept crashing to almost consistent 40fps with detailed textures even in zones that require a lot of rendering. It changed the game for me.

Fixing my Activated Indium farm [Question]

Hi everyone! I have recently come back to the game after a long hiatus and have totally forgot some if the rules of diminishing returns. I'm setting up a new activated indium farm. Currently I have two stacks of four mineral extractors(total of 8). Four are connected together and the same as the other four. The problem is when I set up my supply depots(I have 8 of them in groups of 4) they are some how collecting as one big depot. Even though I have one of my extractor stacks(4 extractors)connected to 4 supply depots and the other stack connected to the other 4 supply depots. The groups of supply depots are 3 flooring units apart so decently apart but why are they still connecting together? Do my mineral extractors have to be further apart? If anyone could help that would be amazing. If this didnt make alot of sense let me know and I'll try to explain it differently. Thank you!

Finding player bases in-game? [Question]

Potential dumb question incoming:

I thought one of the new updates is the SA's portal would be able to take you to more player bases now, so you can explore their builds, their farms, whatever. But when I went to the portal to check it out, the list looked still pretty barren.

The problem with having too much money. [Discussion]

I like how NMS has taught me about the perspective and how to deal with being rich in game.

I have about 750M for one account, I’m sure some players have more and lots have less.

My expeditions return and probably give me 10-20M after 28 hours.

My community gives me less than 100k, most missions give less than 250K.

I could spend 100M on some S-class something or other, that would make a dent. The truth is much like you see in real life, being ultra rich removes too many challenges. I’m just glad it’s a game about exploring and it’s not really about money.

From what I remember before the patch that you could upgrade capacity and rarity, you either went for the experimental for scanner range or an alien one for damage. Nowadays though are they all on equal footing along with the bulky looking pistols and rifles?

Question about Switching Freighters [Question]

So I’ve recently been maxing everything out and have now done everything except for my freighter. It’s currently a class and I’m hunting for an s class. I easily have the money to buy the new s class one (I have over 1.8 billion units).

When I change freighters, will my old freighter base transfer to my new one, or will I have to reconstruct the entire thing?

Unable to find stranded lifeform during the current expedition [Question]

Hey, i found dozens of crashed ships in many systems, but i never found a stranded lifeform.

This is the last thing i have to do to complete the current expedition and i'm going crazy searching a stranded lifeform for a so long time. I used a lots of planetary chats (distress signal), i also spent a lot of time flying above the surface of planets, i did the number puzzle a lot of time, and i never found a stranded lifeform. What am i doing wrong or why is it so rare ?

Crashed Freighter Help [Question]

Hey all. I know this may be a redundant post but I am doing the second expedition and I cannot find a crashed freighter for the life of me. I have used countless distress beacon planetary charts (all I ever get are abandoned buildings and crashed ships), I’ve tried the North/South trail from an abandoned building (flew for nearly 20 minutes in one direction on several planets) and I’m just at my wit’s end.. I just need a sure fire way to find one before the expedition ends.. thanks in advance

Hey again everyone.

This time I am looking to get an exotic ship. So far no luck. I have followed several Nms coord exch links and waited for upto 12 waves of ships with no luck. I have tried both starports and landing pads.

Multi-tool upgrade help [Question]

Hi guys, so I recently installed an S-class scanner upgrade on my Multi-tool, and was wondering if keeping my A-class upgrade (which does the same thing, but with lower stats) is worth it? Or is it just taking up an inventory slot?

Do upgrades layer on top of each other, or are the percentages only in relation to the multi-tools base stats? Would appreciate some insight, cheers 👌

Catalogue Glitch? Entries Vanished [Bug]

Yesterday I saved and hopped off. My girlfriend decided she wanted to give the game a shot and started a new save on her own profile. We play on the Series X, so it had to delete the quick resume data from my game. Should have been fine since I saved, right? Today I log in and most of the catalogue entries have simply vanished. I still have all of the blueprints I collected, but I can't see recipes for stuff like crafted items in the Catalogue. Restarting the game entirely brought some of it back, but not all. For example, I know I had an entry for nitrogen salt, but it's still gone after restart while the Enriched Carbon that had vanished is now back. Any ideas?

Deep-level hotspot changes when.... [Question]

I scanned a deep-level mineral hotspot and it showed as Copper. I left the area and when I came back I had to rescan it and now it shows as Paraffinium.

I'm guessing that the RNG has rerolled the mineral type.

My question is what triggers the reroll? Leaving the area, the planet, the system, a reload, or all the above. Any data points would be appreciated.

How to find runaway mold? [Question]

There are a lot of posts about it but I haven't found a sufficient answer. Are there planets where it is more likely to find it or not? Some said it's mot likely on stormy planet, some said especially on toxic, some said there is no difference, runaway mold can be found everywhere. Idk I've been trying to find a planet with it a couple of hours now. I fly very low over the surface to see them and land once in a while to check for the yellow stars in the scan view but nothing. Any other tips?

Finding Settlements [Question]

I got a settlement chart, went back to the planet and the proceeded to reload the save probably 50+ times and I absolutely cannot find one.

The system is inhabited and it periodically will locate a settlement on an adjacent moon that is extremely hostile and raining fire at all times lmao. Is there a better way?

To live forever and permadeath fun [Question]

Greetings, fellow Travelers

Doing a permadeath run for the achievement, but also for fun. I'm almost 300 hours in the normal mode and expeditions, and I've survived finding my ship and started the Artemis path in perma. Still, I only consider myself a recent graduate from noob.

I'm not looking for the quickest path to the centre, I just want to enjoy the journey. But also, I want to be efficient and not die. I read that the best way to the centre is Artemis... But I've done that path before and I've never just flown to the centre myself. In fact I've only been to two galaxies.

I'm torn between following Artemis again (and making some different choices) or just setting the path to the centre, getting an explorer with some s-upgrades to warp and blasting my own way.

My question is, can anyone offer some advice on which path is more rewarding and give any advice I might need along the way. Permadeath run is basically like an expanded expedition for me at this point. My normal save is still my active one and me and my son play together on that. So this is just a side project but I might continue the save even after I get the achievement.

Thanks in advance.

How To Adjust Base Items: A Tutorial [Information]

You placed that lamp post on your landing pad a little off and it'll bug you every time you land there in future. No worries, here's what you do:

Cursor over the problem item and press your system's button to adjust (L2 on PS4 & 5). This will let you grab the item and rotate, move and re-place it wherever you want. Put it where you want it then press R2.

Done. It's that easy. Oh wait, because the item you adjusted was placed on top of your landing pad, the pad and all other placed items are now deleted. No, you don't get the resources back or the item saved in any kind of other inventory system. You have to just place the landing pad again and all the items again and start over. That's okay, shouldn't take long.

Re-place the landing pad where it was again.

Oh wait, yours was the fancy pad that requires 10 Metal Plating, 2 Ion Batteries and 2 Microprocessors.

So just go ahead and make it with those parts, job done.

Oh you don't have all those parts or their components, that's okay. There are too many materials in this game to carry them all with you. Just get them from your Storage box in your base.

Oh, your base is powered down, Storage Box included. Must be because when you moved that chair earlier on the whole Pre-Fab room it was in was deleted, it disconnected a crucial power line connected to everything and your batteries just ran out of power. And it's night time so your Solar Panels aren't producing anything.

That's okay, just place down a Biofuel Reactor to temporarily power the Storage box up so you can grab the resources to make the components to make the parts for the Landing Pad.

Oh you don't have all those parts to make the Reactor, okay. They're in your Storage Box too?Powered Boxes. What a fantastic world we live in. Large Refiners need 0 of any power but the box does. Incredible stuff.

So go outside to harvest the basic...

Freaked out seeing another player! (PS4 Non-Plus, Permadeath) [Discussion]

This is going to sound very noobish, but I thought multiplayer content was blocked for PS players that don't have a Plus subscription. Yes, I knew we could see uploaded content (incl. other player bases), but I figured actual players themselves fell under 'multiplayer'...

So here I am, playing the game for months now as my cosy singleplayer experience. Empty bases. Alone in the universe. Alone in the anomaly. Alone on missions. Alone forever.

Then today I'm landing in the anomaly and... WTF, is that another ship?? I stare at it for a minute, shocked. Then I look around and yup two other landing pads are filled. Then I see two guys jetpacking past, a third idling in the appearance modifier. I'm equally shocked and moved, first time seeing another player! I fumble around, wondering how to even do chat in this game...

They pay no attention, rush by me and 2 minutes later they were gone.

No Man's Sky Infinite Expedition [Discussion]

I was just kinda thinking and fantasizing about a crossover expedition similar to the Normandy ship expedition.

With the release of Halo Infinite, imagine if we had to explore 7 procedurally generated Halo Rings for an expedition. As there are (as far as I'm aware) 7 Halo Rings within the lore.

The reward being a freighter that looks like the "Infinity" or the "Forward Unto Dawn." Plus Master Chiefs Helmet for your Traveller.

Sigh.... I know that's just a pipe dream... What with the amount if work that would have to go into that... And not to mention the legal issues to go with that.... And on top of that, the business route where 343 would have to gain something pretty substancial out of it beyond just advertising... Because while the community of NMS is massive and fantastic, 343 is just much bigger than what HG has produced.

But still..... As MASSIVE fan of both NMS & Halo... I was just fantasizing and wanted to share.... Could you imagine? Siiiiighhhhhh.....

Elaboration on jobs/roles [Suggestion]

After 400 hours and multiple play throughs, I consider this game to be a masterpiece in many aspects, and lacking on others, but hey, every game has flaws. Some flaws are big, some I don't really mind, but one that I've been recently thinking about is the currency system

Quicksilver I consider is done well, can be used to buy variety of items, not super hard to get, and requires a bit of time, and also brings a challenge.

Tainted metal is also pretty cool, but I feel needs more options to buy with.

Nanites are decently hard to get and are used often especially when buying modules, done very well imo

Units, well, I feel lack a bit

I consider units to be the main currency of no man's sky, and late game it is practically useless, and can be obtained extremely easily.

I'm not going to talk about the lack of purchasable items, because I personally have no idea how to fix that problem.

Instead I want to talk about maybe an emphasis on job systems.

The job terminal will replace the quest terminal on space stations

Of course you can still make money using old tactics, but these "professions" organize all of these strategies into more procedural tasks

FYI: you are not limited to one job. You can do as many as you like

Bounty hunting:

Hunt pirates, pretty simple. After promotion in bounty hunting start fighting exotic enemies

Exploration:

research certain planets, discover habitable world's, try to find a type of animal, etc... Promotion brings more time consuming tasks

Base building:

Build bases on certain planets, with certain parts. Either procedural or player submitted

Miner:

Also can be considered trader, gather certain materials, starting out at simple things like ferrite. Promotion can lead to more expensive metals, or precious materials.

These are only a few of my ideas, but I think these are enough to get the point...

Help me come to terms with this Permadeath [Question]

Hi folks. I recently came back to NMS after being away for 6 months or so. I didn’t want to jump right into my old permadeath save in case I screwed it up and lost it, so I figured I’d start a new one to get back into the swing of things. I got 12 hours or so in and died stupidly… I really should have left that whispering egg alone. Whatever… i sucked it up and restarted, it is what it is.

In my second attempt, I felt like I was being much more careful. I was at about 19 hours last night when I stopped off at the Nexus. There was a weekend Nexus event with 5 minutes or so remaining so I decided I’d do it quickly before bed… it was just “feed 38 animals” so I figured easy quicksilver. I got to the planet and started feeding creatures; about three or four minutes in, suddenly, there were small explosions all around me, almost like I was being carpet bombed, and my shield took a massive hit. I tried jump thrusting to my ship but was dead in about three seconds… I didn’t have time to do anything. I had upgraded shields/health but they melted in a couple of seconds.

I have been playing this game for a long time (hundreds of hours across normal and permadeath saves as well as expeditions) and I’ve never seen anything like this. I have no idea what killed me. The planet had aggressive sentinels, but they were not alerted, and I’ve alerted sentinels hundreds of times without seeing that “carpet bombing” attack. It was a Nexus mission, but I was solo, and unless they were being sneaky, I didn’t see any other players around. I’ve done many solo Nexus missions and again, have never died this way.

What killed me? How do I avoid it for my next permadeath playthrough? I’m finding it a little hard to motivate myself to start a third new permadeath file after my failures but I feel like this last one wasn’t my fault.

How to re-roll Black Market Upgrades [Information]

After I finished upgrading my Freighter with Derelict Modules I had five stacks of tainted metal and figured out how to re-roll Black Market Upgrades to get good ones every time.

Starting notes. You can use this method to also re-roll S-class upgrades and I included some in my rotation. I bought a bunch of Suspicious Technology packages and some Suspicious Hazard Protection Gear from the Scrap Dealer with tainted metal. Skip the Suspicious Goods and Suspicious Weapons packages. Suspicious Hazard and Suspicious Life upgrades have the same icon so be careful when organizing them. The better Suspicious upgrades which are worth it are: Hazard Protection (25+ points), Starship Shielding (37+) and Exosuit Shield (33% life with 90+ shield). Suspicious Hyperdrive and Movement modules are excellent as well, but really hard to roll good ones because of the wide range on stats and number of stats. I swapped in S-class life support into my mix. They have a tighter upper range for stats which are pretty close in stats to Suspicious Life Support. You want to have at least a dozen junk C-class modules to occupy bad module clicks.

Setup a row of modules you want to roll. For illustration purpose I've got four rows of modules shown, but you can just re-roll the same row. Notice that each following row offsets the previous rows module order with a shift to the right.

Frigate Expeditions. No more Storage Augmentations? [Question]

Hey everybody, I used to get at least 1 or two storage augmentation when I sent out 5 Frigate Expeditions. Its really my only reason for doing them now except for collecting things to give away at the Anomoly. Well, Its been over a week now and, after sending out 5 expeditions a day, I still have not received a storage augmentation. Did HG get rid if them in freighter expeditions? Is it just bad luck? Has anyone else noticed this?

Beachhead expedition appearing completed - can't start save. [Bug]

I've logged onto No Mans Sky today to have a try at the expedition, however it says I've already completed it when I haven't, even when it was available previously. I can't start the expedition save whatsoever. Anyone else having this problem, has it finished early? It was meant to end tomorrow.

Korvax monolith problem [Bug]

Hi everyone! So, i'm new to the game (about 15 hrs) and searching around on YouTube i saw a video about monoliths and i've found one in a korvax system. The problem is that it's "impossible" to get the correct answer: the monolith Is about some mech spiders and i have just two answers: open fire/remove the helmet but i think that both are wrong becouse then the monolith doesn't let me interact with it again. So, it's me? I mean, i forgot something to do or..? Becouse I've already checked (Just for this particular monolith not all of them) the answer and it says "wait it out" but i don't have that dialogue option. So if someone has any idea or time to explain possible reasons or solutions i'd be grateful :)

Beyond 20K piece max? [Question]

Is there any way to get beyond the 20,000 piece max limit? After four weeks of base creation bliss I crashed into this soul crushing boundary. Really? Is there no way around this? I'll gladly sacrifice FPS, I'll pay more money, give me some way to keep creating without destroying my past creations. Is there any hint that Hello Games might increase this? I'm done playing if not, and it will be horrible.

I can mine with my ship on the planet surface [Discussion]

I didn’t know i could do that, i wonder if its a bug or something. But basically when flying low on a planet surface if I shoot at plants/rocks i get a ton of carbon and ferrite ! Much more efficient than with the multitool

Walling up sentinels with terrane manipulator [Discussion]

So I have been working on and kinda fine tuning this technique. What you do is create base rock in squares. then you get in front of them and either attempt to completely wall them in including the top or trap them in the rock when u make it . I have done it a few times. They don't go crazy and call reinforcements because you didn't attack them. They do try to find you but well they cant . I have done it on planets with heavy sentinels that attack on sight and been able to do my business for a while un bothered. Sorta gota run in front of them or around them in circles and try to glitch them in the rock it seems thats what happens.

Expedition Wont Work [Discussion]

first off, hope everyone is having a good aftenoon.

second, im trying to do the expedition so i can get the normandy ship, but the game wont let me access it. gamemode says "expedition complete". does this mean i have lost my chance to get the ship once again? i have no clue what to do.

(side note, i added a fleet control console and i cant access that either. theres like this invisible barrier preventing me from getting close to what i assume the interact point is.)

Base computer needs to run smoothly? [Question]

I've just started playing and it is awesome. I remember following the progress of this game in development years ago but when it came out I wasn't in a place where I could play it. Then the reviews trashed it and it faded from memory.

Fast forward to now, I have some free time but not a ton and I've been playing on my very average laptop that runs below the minimum suggested requirements.

I don't want to (and can't, my mother had to retire suddenly and now I'm supporting her) spend a lot of money on a new high end computer for a game that I can only play 5 hours or so a week but at the same time, my work laptop is definitely not doing it justice.

What do you think I could get away with in order to fully immerse myself in the game in the time I do get to play it? I love the new mini pcs that are out but it's sacrificing a decent graphics card for better RAM.

Ideal Number of Harvesters Per Mining Hotspot? [Question]

As the title says, I'm looking to get some activated indium farms going and I'm hoping to pick someone's brain as to the ideal number of harvesters I should put per mining spot.

I've heard diminishing returns were added semi-recently, so at what point does the return per harvester become negligible?

Thanks in advance.

Is the game worth it on ps5? [Question]

It’s £40 at the moment. I know it had a rocky start but I’ve heard people say it’s good now? I’ve got some questions. How are the ai? I’ve seen the cities in the photos and ai so what can they do? Can I recruit them? How is ship customisation? Can I make my own ship? How big can ships go? Take subnautica for example there was the sea moth which you couldn’t walk around in and the cyclops which you could. Basically can you walk around in any ships available? How much stuff is there to do? I don’t want to have finished everything in 5 hours. Are there enemies? I’ve watched all the trailers and all the animals seem peaceful. Are there servers? Most survival games like this have servers like ark for example. Thanks in advance!

Is there a way to know who is new to the game? [Question]

Looking to pay it forward after receiving help

Hi all. I finally got back into the game and have really enjoyed it. What helped me get further than I have before (besides this subbreddit) was a friendly stranger that gave me items that totaled about 50 million units.

Since that happened I always wanted to do the same with a new player or someone that is in a rough spot, but I play on ps4 and don't know how to chat on the nexus.

Any help or suggestions would be appreciated!
