Just learned of the secret 24h expedition lockout [Information]

So I finally had a day off and wanted to sit down and do the second expedition to finally get the beloved Normandy but discovered something terrible: the expeditions have a secret 24 hour lockout for new people trying to do them. I tried for so long to launch it but couldn't understand why it wouldn't play. After checking a few forums thats where I learned of the 24 hour lockout. No where is this mentioned in their patch notes or posts about the expeditions and is insulting when the timer states "16 hours left to complete" but it's a lie.

Apologies for a bit of a rant, but after having missed it last time due to a deployment and seeing it back again, it's just so frustrating that it was blocked by a hidden rule not made known to new players joining in.

Vy’Keen daggers nowhere to be found? [Question]

Hi all, I have been searching for a Vy’Keen dagger for two days now. I tried looking for trading outposts, found 2 in a Vy’Keen galaxy(?).

Both had Vy’Keens on them but I could not trade with them.

Anyone knows what I should do?

Historiographical Dosimeter? [Question]

So I'm on phase 5 of Beachhead redux and ofc I'm just now realizing I don't have the Historiographical Dosimeter, and can't complete the second objective.

From what I can tell, there's just straight up no way to get another one. The quicksilver merchant won't give you another one, and you can't collect it again from the expedition reward. I also have no godly idea what happened to it. I hit all 5 rendezvous points right off the bat and then went back and did the rest of the objectives, so I could have lost it anywhere in the 3,000 light years I've traveled.

So what I've figured is I can collect it on my main file, give it to someone in multiplayer, and then have them give it back to me on my expedition file. I hate asking for help from reddit but both my friends who played sold their copies and I don't know anyone else who has it.

If there's a better solution someone please let me know. It's ending tomorrow and I really want the Normandy lol. Thanks in advance for any help.

Unpopular Opinion: Rehashing the Expeditions was a bad idea [Discussion]

I'm sure this will get downvoted to oblivion, but it needs to be said:

Rehashing the Expeditions was a really poor idea.

It's common knowledge that while the Expeditions are good for players, they're horrific for this subreddit. You wind up with the same questions over and over again, mostly about how to grind the Expedition as quickly as possible, how to cheat in the rewards, or "omg it's the last day of a month-long expedition and how do I do it quickly now?" Followed closely by "is the Expedition already over?"

With the first Expedition runs, these questions ran their course and we got a bit of a respite in between. With this recent speed-run, they're all rehashed, but sandwiched together into an endless stream of stupid.

Additionally, recycling old content is a really bad sign from a developer. It shows (IMO) that they're either running out of ideas or getting lazy. Either of which are bad overall.

Continuing on an expedition? [Question]

Tl;dr: what do you miss by continuing on an expedition game rather than starting a normal game from scratch?

Recently got into NMS after sitting on it for years. I played normal mode a little but barely did anything, just spent a lot of time walking around, mining, building and exploring the starter system.

A few days ago, I decided to try and power through and get the Normandy on expedition 2. I really connected with the game and decided to do the expeditions as they come. I missed the first one because the game gives poor advice not to as a new player.

I’m starting to wonder if I should go back and continue my other game or just play off one of the expedition plays as my ‘main’ play through.

Will I miss anything from the ‘storyline’ if I do this or just the initial ‘slog’ (said in an endearing way) of building up my character and ships?

Better settlements and outpost. [Suggestion]

I really hope they flush out the settlements and outpost. I'd love to be able to add citizens to the outpost and interact more with them at both places. Right now I'm walking my main base planet building little outpost with awesome views for any and all visitors. How cool would it be if we took a little from gta with the citizens and put it into the aliens and traveller's that travel the universe. So far I feel like they gave us the bare bones to alot of stuff that other games have already done.

I got a 2m ship for 500k! [Discussion]

Either I found a bug, of I got extremely lucky. I found a crashed A-class ship and warped it back to my freighter. I traded it for another that wasnt all damaged. Since it was a trade, it only costed 500k.Out of shear luck, the old ship (which was now an NPC) landed back in my freighter. Since everything was broken, I could get it back for free.

Question about multi tool farming... [Question]

For you fellow travellers with experience farming multi tools: If I go to a 3 star economy system and find an alien blaster or experimental at either the station or a minor settlement and it's B or C class will there be an S class version somewhere to find?

Also any tips for farming S class multi tools, especially alien blasters, would be greatly appreciated. Especially things like what you specifically look for in a system to find one.

How good/fun is co-op in this game? [Question]

Context: I want to play exclusively co-op together with my wife. She loves games, but hates the idea of doing it alone. So:

Can you play missions together, share resources and a base, level together, travelling without spending half an hour trying to find each other, ... other things I missed?

Side question: this is a space game, but can you fight with "primitive" weaponry like melee weapons, or bows maybe?

Looking for Expedition Advice/Tips [Question]

Relatively new player to the game here. I've never done an expedition before and I think I'm ready to start exploring that side of the game.

I've seen on Reddit people calling the current expedition "Expedition 2" and I was wondering if it's okay for me to start here, even though I never did 1?

I was also hoping for a few tips or strategies you all think I should know before going in? Anything helps!

Discovered planet [Question]

Hello

I wanted to ask you if anybody had similar problem to mine and somehow found the solution to it.

Some time ago i started playing NMS using steam familysharing. Everything went smooth, I've discovered some nice planets and decided to live on one of them. I placed base there and everything I discovered was assigned to my nickname. Untill today when I uploaded some of my discoveries (Including the planet I live on). And when I went back to it the game said that my friend (that shares games on familysharing with me) discovered it... Can I do something to fix this so this planet is discovered by me?

Getting to Eissentam [Question]

Hey travelers!

I’m on PS4, currently too broke for PS+ and trying to get my latest 2 expedition characters to the same system as my main.

Problem is that my current process of find monolith- find portal- jump to center- buy ship- break ship - repeat is very slow and with my limited time it’s taken me days to get from Euclid to the Hilbert dimension.

The community spotlight bases in the Anomaly are all in Euclid. I can’t see any player bases but mine and I’m not sure if there is a quicker way of making the jumps.

Any advice is welcome!

How to get nanites efficiently? [Question]

I appreciate barren planets more and more now [Discussion]

I love how extensive the world building in the game is, it’s incredible. The on ground exploration pulled me from other space sim games, however, I also feel like there is almost “too much” life.

Question regarding Base-Building [Question]

Me and a friend want to try this game out again, because the reviews have been very good recently :) We also heard, that there were nice updates in almost every matter.

As per usual we focus on coop-play and therefore want to build a base together. Is that easily possible or do we have to use some "workarounds"?

Thank you very much!

The Use of Coordinates. [Question]

Question: How do I use the coordinates at the bottom left of screen shots to get to those locations the glyphs represent? Plain and Simple question. All I want to know is how to go from those glyphs in the screenshot to the location they pinpoint. Nothing around this question seems to make since. One YouTube video has a 5min Hexadecimal tutorial. I can't imagine I need to learn Hex before I can fart around a fake universe. And, It's hard to understand why I would need possibly three 3rd-party websites just to move around in a game that I cant necessarily duck in and out of conveniently. But if I must, I must. So, again, the simple question that I kinda need a simple answer to...

How can I use the glyphs provided in a screenshot to 'navigate' to the location the glyphs represent? How do I go from screenshot to location, 100%?

Finding my expedition base with main character save [Question]

Was expedition 2 in Euclid? I forgot to check, but had screenshotted the glyphs on a planet with a nice mold farm and set up a base nearby so I could find that easily with my main guy. So I entered the glyphs in my main save, it acted like I'd entered the right combination but the system I ended up in was not the same one from the expedition.

Would the same set of glyphs potentially work in different galaxies? I thought if you were in another galaxy it would give you that error and send you to a random location.

In other words, how do I find my expedition base on a main save?

Component signature corrupted [Question]

I really need to rant about this

I'm doing the friend adrift missions and I realised it's been taking more and more tries to find the terminal. I've just done one that took me 16 tries, and I counted, to find one that would tell me where the terminal was. The entire time I was being attacked by zealous sentinels and nonstop superheated rainstorms.

My question is, am I doing something wrong? Is there some sort of trick to get the right ones or is it meant to be this tedious? Because it's driving me crazy

stutter every 5-6 seconds but FPS are ok [Bug]

stutter every 5-6 seconds but FPS are ok

It's been 2 week I tweaked every thing (GPU, drivers, Vsync off or ON, numlowthreads, etc....) and it finally turn out that it was STEAM.

Yes the steam friendslist ingame refreshes every 5-10 seconds, and the more friends you have the more severe this problem will be!

So I just set my steam to offline before starting up the game and it fixed definetely the stutters everywhere in the game on full ultra setting, VR, with and without mods.

I could still join my friends using the direct join command so it wasn't a big deal.

It reminded me of day 1 steam launch when people with large steam friends lists couldnt connect, so I immediately connected the dots and it all made sense.

So I think a possible permanant fix for this is to remove people from your steams friends list.

Please steam developpers and Hello games devs, solve this issue as the game can be played without stutters only with STEAM offline.

I know that a huge number of peoples are upset of these permanent stuttering/lag and I hope it will help.

My config 5900X 6900XT 32GO RAM 2TO NVME

Best regards

Storms coming into my base [Question]

I built a timber base and the storms are still able to get in somehow. It's a two story base but the second floor is mostly open just a walkway of timber flooring going around the edges. When I go upstairs the storm subsides but downstairs it can still affect me. The rooms I built are safe too. I'm thinking it may have something to do with the ceiling being 3 panels up from the main floor but I see so many extravagant bases with huge open air ceilings. 😢

Also, what is the best way to power this thing? I have things that need power all over different sections of the base.

Where is the scientist?! [Question]

Ok so I’m doing the base mission and couldn’t find any scientist on any Korvax space stations I went to so I went to the galaxy map and tried to track the mission that way.

Circuit boards? [Question]

I did all the things that the scientist required, and i finally returned his 'core' thing that brings him back to life. Unfortunately, when i talk to him now, the dialog just says 'i should leave the korvax to his buisness' or whatever, and the only option is to leave. is the game glitching out? because i looked online and it says that after i return his 'core' thingy to reanimate him, he's supposed to tell me how to make circuit boards.

also, the mission just says 'help the scientist to learn to make a circuit board' but doesnt say what im supposed to do. im worried its glitching out.

Truly the game that keeps on giving [Screenshot]

First, I was so happy to have a second chance at getting the Normandy!

I wanted No Man's Sky from the moment I heard about it, and was very upset when they had a rough launch. Mostly because people just have no patience to wait for something to become what it's meant to be! Bought the game after a year of waiting and played for a bit, but decided it wasn't quite where I wanted yet.

Now I have been addicted for the past two years and it's really amazing to see what an indie development team thrive! Can you imagine if this was a game published by Paradox or Bethesda instead? We'd have paid so much for all these big updates because it would all be DLC or in game purchases.

Seriously. I picked up a crashed 'Marvel of Meody' shuttle in the early game. It was the first ship I found. It's a B class ship and I've maxed out the inventory slots for a total of 35 general and 14 technology. It handles pretty well, it's jump range (with 2 A class and one S class upgrades) is 709. It's damage potential is only 67.8, but it's shields are at 226, and seeing how combat in this game is very easy, it doesn't matter that I haven't really upgraded the weapons.

It looks pretty cool too!

Thanks to NMSCoordinateexchange subreddit, I found a neat looking hauler, 2 jumpers, and a few other ships that I sold off quite quickly. The hauler and jumpers feel bulky and I find myself running into things a lot.

For a while, I really wanted to get an exotic or a living ship, but their maxed out specs just don't compare with my old B class shuttle.

Is there any other ship that kinda just 'does it all'?

What are your favorite ship classes and why?

Base interior incredibly dark [Question]

Hi all,

I got the game yesterday and spent a bit of time in it. Visited space station, learnt a bit of Gek, built my own little house.

However, when I try to enter my house, this is what I see after having power, light and a gate in it:

Outside of this the lighting is is usually alright, with periods of darkness.

Am I doing something wrong? I even have a light up in the centre.

This game puts any other open world game to shame [Discussion]

I mean, if there's a game justified to have filler content, this is it. It has an entire universe to explore yet, the quests are meaningful, there are always wonderful things to discover and every piece of content you go through doesn't feel like its there just because. I'm glad of all the hours I have in this game and I'm glad Hello Games put their arses behind it even after the well....launch it had. Its a wonderful game and one I love spending my days in. See you out there travelers!

Crash at Startup on Steam [Bug]

I just bought the game for Steam and it's crashing right after it hits the "Hello Games" screen. I've tried reinstalling, resetting my computer, turning off overlays, wifi, antivirus, updating my display drivers, all of the stuff I've found that fixed this problem for other people but nothing is working. I did notice in the display settings file that it's set to use my Intel graphics card and not my Nvidia Geforce card but when I try to change it, it just changes back upon launch, then crashes again. Steam is also fully updated, according to the update checker.

I'm using Windows 11 with an i7 processer, 16g ram, 64 bit, and my graphics cards are Intel UHD Graphics 620 & NVIDIA GeForce MX150.

Stuck on Cartographer's Expedition re-run (7/8 minerals) [Question]

Ii have been going very quickly through this expedition till I became stuck and have already wasted about an hour. I need 8 minerals to get magnetic resonator plans and I need a magnetic resonator to take off from the planet. I have been to caves under the sea (took ages to find a sea) and inland as well as thousands of units all round the place. Very few rocks etc. Am I missing a trick here where I could shortcut to the magnetic resonator and just get the 8th mineral somewhere else?

Haven't found one new Mineral in 8 hours. [Question]

Me and a friend started on a community expedition today and it was all going fine until I got to the geologist challenge in the third phase. I need the magnetic resonator for the repair on my ship, I've gotten 4/8 minerals but all of those were at the beginning. Since then I've looked into every cave, in the water, tried digging under water to find and underwater cave but nothing. Was wondering if anyone had any tips whatsoever, this has really bummed me out and turned a pretty fun expedition into a really boring scavenger hunt for minerals I can only assume are thr size of a pebble.

the artemis ending options are bullshit [Discussion]

so your telling me in a universe where there is a race with editable and overwritable souls(korvax) it isnt possible to take a super advanced mech soul containing a traveller and input it into one of their carapaces?

why cant artemis live the rest of her life as a independent korvax? during the scientist questline he removes his core multiple times for you to 'correct' if we build a korvax without a core why cant artemis be inputed?

and dont give me any 'incompatible' nonsense. during that same questline the scientist upload animal information into a savepoint and somhow that makes it sentient. surely we can 'teach' a empty korvax unit to input artemis's now-mechanical soul

Room Deletion Glitch [Bug]

So I play on PC(Steam) with a PS4 Controller. Whenever I pick up an object and move it out of a built space, it deletes the entire room, whether it be a precon building or a freighter room/hallway. This has made building pretty much inaccessible as trying to move anything just deletes the entire room.

I have no idea how to resolve this.

I have tested this with mouse and keyboard and it does the same thing.

NMS has gotten kinda... boring [Question]

Let’s be honest: this expedition is the worst thing the game has done in a while [Discussion]

I understand Hello Games wanted the “theme” of this expedition to be exploring a single planet. The problem with this idea is that it absolutely sucks. It’s not fun. It’s running around a literally planet-sized haystack looking for a bunch of needles. It’s the world’s most aggravating scavenger hunt.

I’ve been trying to find 8 minerals for hours. I’ve been walking due north in my Minotaur for multiple hours trying to find rocks I haven’t seen before. I finally found 7, but only because I accidentally found an underwater cave that had 2 inside and another nearby. Before that I spent an hour or more at 4 and couldn’t find anything.

Not to mention the requirement for crystal sulphide to repair the ship. I have found 3 bodies of water in my 7 hours of playtime on this save file and just about all of them have been ankle-deep lakes. I don’t even know if I’m walking the right direction. It could take me a week to reach a body of water with crystal sulphide in the direction I’m going for all I know. And because I don’t have a ship, I can’t get to other people’s bases in anything less than 12 hours of walking — just in the hopes that there’s something useful there, no guarantees.

I’ve come across a number of crashed ships and landed traders but the expedition has ship acquisition disabled so I couldn’t grab any of them to make things easier. And I can’t get to the Anomaly to claim my golden Vector, so that won’t work either. I did somehow manage to use Navigation Data to summon my crippled starting ship to a minor settlement’s landing pad, but now it’s just sitting there broken down until I fix it.

My teleporter doesn’t give me access to anything except my other bases, not even the space station, so my only option is to walk around an entire planet on foot/in the Minotaur...

Unbelievable! [Discussion]

Let me preface my rant with I love this game. However the glitches just piss me off. I can’t imagine what it was like for those of you who started in the beginning. I play on Xbox One S and the game crashes on me constantly. My Save Beacon and I have become one. I guess I got so excited to start the expedition and forgot about it. I just lost an hour worth of progress. Me thinks I will hang my hat for the night and look for a good anger management course. I was almost done with phase one! So all that to ask the question, does anyone have these issues on PC? Saving my pennies for a gaming computer so I’m curious.

Expedition 3 Redux Help :'( [Question]

Good morning guys and girls! I'm really hoping someone can offer me some advice. This is my first post on any subreddit so please be gentle! i've been playing No Man's Sky on and off since it was first released on Xbox, however, I've only just recently realised that there were expeditions to complete, so when the Redux expeditions cropped up I jumped at the chance to complete them!

Anyway, I've just started the Expedition 3 Redux, and I've successfully completed Phase 1 & 2, albiet with quite a bit of difficulty since the starting planet seems to only have a handful of mineral rocks within an hour walking radius, and only 1 that I found that actually gives ferrite dust (i had to refine rusted metal I'd collected from those green supply crates dotted around)

Anyway, onto Phase 3, and I'm stuck on one of the milestones. It's asking me to find and scan 8 minerals. I've managed to find 7 of them, and it honestly took me forever to do! I have been aimlessly walking around this planet for ages, while trying not to wander more than roughly 30 minutes from my ship as I didn't have enough ferrite dust to build both power and a teleporter after using up all my refite dust to build my first base, let alone on 2 bases to teleport between.

I've searched in caves, in water, in the deepest of ditches and the highest of mountains, and I cannot seem to find the last mineral. Is anyone else working through the Expedition 3 Redux? And if so, have you managed to complete this milestone? Does anyone have any tips for a lost and confused traveller?

new to the game [Question]

I recently started No Man's Sky after playing Outer Wilds which sparked my interest in space games. A very discovery focused game, lots of mystery. Heard about the comeback the game had but am now a bit unsure again about NMS.

I dont know if I am still in the early game or something but is there such mystery in the game? So far there have been the word discovery, some ruins but mostly nothing interesting about them, they all just come down to text which is hard to get anything from?

My gameplay so far is just flying from planet to planet and trying to repair the crashed ship I found for more inventory slots. So mostly a grind. Is that all I can expect grinding for better equipment?

Finding a planet's location [Question]

I visited and renamed a planet that had rusted metal! I put a marker on it so I could warp there but as I've been visiting lots of differents places in the galaxy (euclid) I'm afraid it's gonna be a long ride...

Is there a way to know the coordinates of that planet somehow?

And also, my ship can do 2500+ ly warp but on the galaxy map, for the custom warp, the game only allows me to do 600 ly warp. Could this be changed? or is it default?

Freighter upgrades [Question]

Can you really get freighter upgrades in derelict freighter? Is it the only way to get them?

Expedition 3 minerals location [Information]

Just wanted to share with you the locations where I found the minerals since it is the most annoying milestone. So at least 2 can be found on the "normal" surface. These are also the ones I don't remember anymore so I guess these are the easier ones.

I've found 2 minerals in caves on the ground and on the ceiling. I've found 1 under water and further 2 around (!) water between these small lakes or "puddles". Relatively small so keep your eyes open. The last one was on the top of a mountain.

I hope this helps you and you know at least where you should look approximately.

NMS future Event "Incursion" [Suggestion]

Premises: Random portals are opening throughout the chosen galaxy allowing a new race into our reality. The new race is a vicious insectazoid breed, lets call them the Horde for want of a better name. They have created two way portals into our reality to raid resources, technology, and materials.

The first Incursion should take place in one of the early galaxies 1 to 3.

They will attack game controlled targets such as freighters, pirates, sentinals, planet generated buildings and settlements. The only place not attacked are space stations which are seen as neutral ground. Here we can see the Horde and Horde ships close up. There will also be a Horde representative on the Anomaly, an ambassador we can interact with.

What will this bring for us as players?

The Horde will be using 5 new ships styles. New insect styled Hauler, Shuttle, Fighter, Explorer, and insect version of a living ship. (Hello can run a fun design competition for players to enter designs for the ships).

These can only be obtained in this first Incursion by finding crashed sites. (Following on to future events they can be purchased in the normal way from space stations and planet trading posts). New insect design helmet New insect design armour set New insect design jet pack New insect styled items for the quicksilver vendor. New food food items (although this whole system needs a overhaul) New resource "Mercury" only found on Horde ships destroyed in space. (Mercury combined with whatever makes whatever) and swapped for nanites with the ambassador on the Anomaly.

The incursion will last about 3 to 4 weeks before the portals close. Following the first introduction event, the next Incursions open randomly in one of the 255 galaxies (one galaxy at a time). Upon logging into the game player will get an alert that an incursion has occured and the galaxy name. This will encourage players to travel to...

New player, not finding enjoyment. [Discussion]

I'm brand new to this game, picked it up about a month ago. The only history I have of this game has been from the different news articles explaining how bad the launch was and that the developers have redeemed themselves after 5 years of updates. So I went ahead and finally got it.

The thing is though I don't see the point of it. It's like a giant sandbox playground without much depth to it. A lot of things basically repeat even if they look slightly different. And while it's cool that you can get different spacecraft and freighters and whatnot there's not much point to it. Like yeah I can send my freighter on a mission but in the end all that really brings back is a few credits and items. Like I don't get the point of the game. Where's the "meat"? It feels like a huge game but again it also doesn't. It feels a little bit like Minecraft except in Minecraft at least you had an end goal you could achieve. Is there an actual end-game to this game? The main storyline is rather.... weak don't you think?

Maybe I am not playing in the right mindset? How do you guys look at no man's sky and how do you approach it?

Find a way to solve the glitch in Awakenings mission WITHOUT exo and pets [Bug]

There're already some discussions on this topic. Awakenings mission line, first cache is stuck inside of a closed volcano... there isn't any way I can get to it right? : NoMansSkyTheGame Main quest stuck inside volcano. : NoMansSkyTheGame

However, I haven't got any pets (no Nutrient Processor) and neither any exo vehicle (I don't even know how to unlock them). After some digging I came up with my own solution.

I'm playing NMS on PC so I can use save editor to manipulate the save data.

download it at: goatfungus/NMSSaveEditor: No Man's Sky - Save Editor https://github.com/goatfungus/NMSSaveEditor

First, save the game standing on specific location. It doesn't matter if you move left or right a little bit.

location of the Save Beacon

Then, open the save editor (no need to close the game), locate the save game directory and choose save2.hg (because the game is save manually with a beacon) and select Edit Raw JSON.

Find SpawnStateData and the PlayerPositionInSystem variable inside it. Locate the first number in the array and minus 20 from original value.

BEWARE, the original value is a negative number (the sign!), so in the example below, I should change -657708.3125 to -657728.3125.

Upgrade module seed finder [Discussion]

Hey guys I'm still quite new to the game.

I've been researching the upgrade modules for the last few days.

During my research I found out that the seeds are fixed between reloads and I found a project from someone who extracted all the items and their seeds from the game.

Here is the git project I found (https://github.com/zencq/Pi). From this I downloaded the CSVs and imported the whole thing into a database.

I have now built a tool on a test servers with which you can search the database.

After my tests the whole thing seems to work: I keep the upgrade modules which I get. When i have a couple I save the game manually and install one upgrade after the other. Each time I search in my tool the module and note the seed sometimes there are several possible seeds, then you have to repeat the search for that seed after reloading After I have the list of seeds, I reload the manually saved game and search in my tool for the seed and see which upgrade has the best values for the next seed. If there is no proper upgrade with the seed, then I install some random C class upgrade to get the next seed

Here is a link to the tool: https://nomansky.vehementis.de/

But please be patient with the search.

This is just a small unoptimized tool i did for myself and its a Database with 56Million Entries (3.1GB of data)

But since it's Christmas and I got very nice help here on this subreddit with a bug at the beginning of the game I thought I'd share it with you.

I wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year

2022 Update Speculation | Nexus Missions, Space Stations, Starships [Discussion]

We all know there's much more to come to NMS in 2022, and that got me thinking... What could be coming?

One thing I would like to see is an overhaul of the Nexus and Nexus Missions. I find myself standing around the Nexus with 5 or 6 other travellers but none of them ever seem to initiate a mission, or join one that I've initiated. Rarely I'll get one join me but 99% of the time I end up alone.

I feel like we need missions that are more appealing to travellers. And maybe a better join/initiate/invite system.

Space Stations are another part of the game that I feel need a refresh. Since the last time they were updated, starships have also been updated and some of the ships are now too big for the stations hangars and actually glitch into the platforms and don't actually enter the stations through the entrance! So I would love to see space stations redesigned with bigger hangers and some variations of the interiors. So, for example, the interior design/layout could differ from one race controlled system to another. Or, it could differ depending on economy status etc.

Finally, starships. We've all been crying out for the ability to modify starships. In particular, the colour scheme. So surely this will be something we get in 2022. But I expect a big update. A complete introduction of new looking shuttles, haulers, explorers and fighters. Ships that look much sleeker, angrier, majestic. Whether these would be in addition to current style ships or completely replace them, I'm not sure. No idea how that would work.

What do you all think? The above could involve some major updates so we may only get one or two, if any at all! HG might have something totally different up their sleeves!

2- Is the Galazy map suposed to add systems to you "Visited systems" list even if you never warped there before ?

This never happened to me in permadeath but in normal mode I alway seam to be placed in the bottom left corner of the Galaxy. Not only that but just opeing the Galaxy Map or looking at other systems seems to add them to my Visited systems list. Only times this happens is when another player has already discovered it, but since I have not warped to these systems I don't think they should even be listed in my "Visited Systmes" list at all.

Any way to remove/hide these systems or does the game clear older systems from the list if I jump around a lot ?

3- Is Drop Pod Data worth using anymore ?

Bit of an odd question but I have seen a few places selling 50+ Drop Pod Data for 6million units in total. seems like a good deal to me for maxing out your inventory/cargo, yet a few people have said its easier to just pay for the slots once you get rolling in units.

What kind of bases can you build to help other players? [Discussion]

So one of 2 complaints I have with this game(at least that is design and not a bug)

  1. Outside of "hey look at the neat thing I made" Bases almost dont feel like they have a purpose. Slap down a prefab with a refiner build extracts visit and refine every now and again.

  2. There isnt really any sort of supply chain, not exactly expecing pure satisfacorty or factorio but seriously give us a refiner that can connect to extractors so basically make a cholrine farm we dont need to guard like cerberus.

But sorry this post isnt about the second point.

What can I build that would be useful to other players?

I just spent three days building a huge elaborate and relatively empty base.....so I can complete the dreams of the deep mission.....and I feel like I did a lot of work for what feels like not a lot of pay off.

Laser effect on screen? [Question]

I randomly get a laser effect on my screen. Sometimes it is right on me like another player is trying to mine from my in-game avatar, and other times it is on the ground many yards away, but it moves with my avatar. Sometimes I don't see this thing for weeks, and sometimes it is always on me. Is this a bug or is a player I cannot see hitting me with his or her mining laser in jest?

Upgrade module seed [Discussion]

Hey guys I'm still quite new to the game.

I've been researching the upgrade modules for the last few days.

During my research I found out that the seeds are fixed between reloads and I found a project from someone who extracted all the items and their seeds from the game.

From this I downloaded the CSVs and imported the whole thing into a database.

I created a tool to test if you could predict what upgrades you get.

After my tests the whole thing seems to work: I keep the upgrade modules which I get. When i have a couple I save the game manually and install one upgrade after the other. Each time I search the module and note the seed sometimes there are several possible seeds, then you have to repeat the search for that seed after reloading After I have the list of seeds, I reload the manually saved game and search for the seed and see which upgrade has the best values for the next seed. If there is no proper upgrade with the seed, then I install some random C class upgrade to get the next seed

Sadly it seams im not allowed to share a link so you can test this or my post will be deleted for self-advertising

Expedition 3 - magnetic resonator [Question]

So I need the magnetic resonator plan in order to progress any more in the expedition, as it is the last component I need to finish repairing my ship. My problem is that the pattern comes from the expedition step to discover 8 minerals. I have 7/8. I have searched for hours for the last one...in water, caves, open fields, etc. The starting planet has so many plants, but minerals are very few and far between to find. Let alone finding the last undiscovered one. I checked a galactic trade terminal to see if I could just buy the magnetic resonator and worry about finding one more mineral later, but there weren't any. I'm at a loss of what to do. It is discouraging me from wanting to play this expedition anymore. Any tips appreciated.

If you haven't played in VR.... [Suggestion]

Well, get yourself a Quest 2 and a cheap 5GHz access point, Virtual Desktop, and play it in VR!

NMS was always "cool! but boring..." to me. Now I CANNOT GET ENOUGH. Just the increased need to like aim your mining laser makes it so much less boring.

My beef with the game was always that it wasn't immersive enough. VR fixed that. Play it.

Soooo.... playing the expeditions for the first time. [Discussion]

The first I found quite good and all encompassing. Good rewards.

The second was fine except for the crashed freighter quest, which I could not complete because I simply could not find one, BUT, I still achieved every reward I wanted so no harm, it was a fun expedition too.

Now, as for the third one, yes, I did like the slight survivability twist on how you escaped the planet, however, I spent literally three hours on that lacklustre exo-bike crossing mountain after mountain in the hope of finding a valley containing a lake or cave deep enough to contain crystal sulphide so I can finally leave....

That is either my bad luck on a terrible spawn up in the toxic Himalayas or poor game design.

In any case, I checked the rewards before I quit for the night, and realised the only reward I actually wanted from this expedition was the planetary holo display or something which is the phase 1 reward I think...

I think I made a mistake in embarking upon this one without doing my research... smh NOT an enjoyable expedition for me.

How did you all find this expedition?

Help! Bug or stupid? (Spoilers) quest 16/16 [Spoiler]

So, at the main quest 16/16, there is a part where you have find a distress signal so you can find the portal to get to Atlas. Thig is, I happened to find the portal before interacting with the this I should, so the quest switched to this: https://imgur.com/a/op8etCr

After some research, I found out that I was supposed to be sent to the middle of nowhere floating in space, that then the atlas 'ship would "rescue" me. Thing is I get teleported to a "random" planet. The same I was teleported to on a previous quest that I had to use the portal. I wait there and nothing happens, and I am teleported there without even a ship (and am not able to summon one either)

I've tried restarting my save, restarting the game, going to another star system, going through a black hole and nothing seems so solve this.

Also, when I try to use other portals, they just work as they should, as if I didn't have any quest at all (they prompt me to insert the glyphs)

Btw, I have no glyphs at the moment.

How to I solve this?

Bunch of random questions from a group debating joining the game [Question]

Hello everyone! We’ve got a group of 6 that is considering joining the game. We thought Icarus would be the game for us, but the 30 day limit on the open world mission killed it for us. So we are going through a bunch of games trying to find the next “one” for us.

Some background, myself and one other person from the group played about an hour of no mans sky on release (oof) and nothing else, so we are erasing that experience from our memory and pretending none of us know anything about the game at all.

So here’s some questions:

How does multiplayer base building work? Does one person have to be online for everyone else to get access?

How hard is it to get to each other off the beginning of the game (I assume tutorial into teleporting to the other group members?)

I know a big thing about the game was the absolutely massive size of it. Is it still that way, or is everything pretty much found (how likely is it for us to go find some planets no one has found or touched before?)

How does the new overseer village thing work in multiplayer? Can multiple people be the overseer of one place?

Is there some kind of endgame, or is it just exploration and base building?

Is terraforming possible? I saw somewhere that land “regrows”, but saw other places say you can build underground bases that you build and also build into land just fine. Which is it? (Does multiplayer “sessions” play a negative factor into this?)

I saw there was some mod support? How does that work in multiplayer? Any cool mods out there to check out? (we were a pretty big fan of old modded Ark for a while)

Is the game actually fun iyo?

I think that’s it for now. Thanks in advance for any responses!

Grind your starting system(s) [Suggestion]

Decided to get back into permadeath after over year of normal mode play.

As the title suggests, grinding the system you start in, yields results. Granted, my starting system is a tier 3 economy, but I know from messing around tier 2 economy systems, you can still find some gems.

So far I've found,

  1. several crashed ships, one of which was an exotic which I will expand to max slot capacity. And when I say find, I mean just spotting them from the air. Smaller planets and moons are ideal. 2) an S Class cabinet, but prefer either alien or experimental multitools, so I'm sticking with my max slot A Class rifle, for now. 3) several upgrade modules, a couple of them being S Class. 4) several drop pods, again, spotting them from the air.

I only ventured out of the system on two occasions. One was to complete the hyperdrive mission, the second was when the rescue event was triggered. Was hoping to find a decent free freighter. Sadly, most were system freighters, and the one exception was single segment capital ship, and I prefer the max sized capital ships.

I also decided to do the system's derelict mission. Wanted to see how much tainted metal I could get to exchange for repair kits and not use scarce resources repairing the crashed exotic I've found.

Definitely eat the edible plants, saves on recharging hazard protection or life support, depending on the plant. So they are useful even before you start cooking.

Lastly, thanks u/TerriblePurpose. You suggested this a very very long time ago.

I hope Derelict Freighter runs get harder and more creepy. They have huge potential. [Suggestion]

Been playing this game quite a bit since buying it and DF runs are too easy. Some ideas:

Pirates show up and board the freighter.

DFs should be darker and nasties lurk in the shadows for some jump scares.

Possible PvP potential for rival groups looting the same freighter.

I know NMS is not a combat heavy game, it's quite light in that regard but I think at least that S class freighter runs should be markedly more difficult than C class ones. Thoughts?

When I reloaded the next day, my ship was showing as 15k-u or 1 hour away and for some reason was showing as staight down from where I was but was allowing me to travel in a direction that was shortening the distance; however, when I got to where it supposedly should be, it was not there and when I pulled up the startship menu, it still showed that it was too far away and wouldn't allow me to repair the thrusters.

Wondering if anyone has ran into this before and if there are any suggestions? Would hate to restart as I did get a good chunk of things done while traveling to the supposed location of my ship.

Thanks!

My storm crystals are missing? [Question]

Disclaimer, I am new to the game, so I could be wrong. While I am new, some funky stuff is going on in my game. I really want to find storm crystals after my friend found a bunch and sold them for millions. So I found all the prerequisites and went looking. I have an extreme planet (activated copper), it has firestorms every 5 minutes, which is really good. I explored and found nothing, I scanned found nothing, I visored and saw no lightning symbols. So I asked my friend to show me some crystals he found. So I join him on his planet. Firstly, his storm is invisible to me. On his screen, It's hard to see, but it's clear as day for me. Then he takes me to storm crystal. It isn't there for me, but it exists for him. Now I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong, there's a bug that has deleted a whole resource from the game or god knows what else. Any help?

Is there a way to change the controls for rocket boots? [Question]

I like that the boots can let you travel faster in certain situations, but everything else about them piss me off. The controls are shit. There are so many times that I want to use the jetpack, but it triggers the rocket boots instead. Like if I accidently touch the ground without letting go of space, and I end up rocketing off a ledge. Or if I'm trying to get up a hill, it keeps blasting itself into the side of the hill like a frigging moth on crack instead of just smoothly jetpacking up the hill. They need to be on separate buttons. There's like 80 buttons on my keyboard, why use to actions for the same button. Fuck. Is there any way to fix this nonsense?

Lower FPS in recent patches [Question]

Has anyone found the game has become more resource intensive compared to pre-frontiers builds? I used to get a much better average FPS on my rtx 3060 mobile. I'm not sure which patch could of introduced this, I took a break from the game since mid August and they've released like 14 patches since then..

I'm now averaging 10-20 fps less than I used to, even on the lower settings and resolution. I used to get a solid 60 fps basically all the time on ultra at 4k, I tried lowering my res to 2560x1440 and lowering some of the ultra settings and it barely helps.

I'd just like to know if anyone else has the same issue compared to the prisms builds, maybe it's just my laptop or driver version.

I see numerous patches since prisms where they list fixing memory leaks, but I get the impression this is still the case.

TIL About Upgrading Frigates [Discussion]

And that I've been doing it in completely the wrong way.

I was always under the impression that the "successful encounters" stat was the one that gave your frigates progress to the next class. Thus, I always sent my frigates out on the longest available expeditions, because more encounters! And that way, the timing worked out because by the time I was able to log on the following night, the longest expeditions were typically finished.

I was so very, very wrong, and guzzled an absurd amount of frigate fuel because of it. And since this is on my main save, I don't need any of the stuff they brought back.

It's just the total number of completed expeditions that determines frigate class. 55 completed expeditions will take you from C-class to completed S-class (where the little percentage progress to next rank circle disappears completely; that thing is entirely useless, as far as I can tell, it seems to move back and forth between 0 and 20-some-odd percent regardless of what class your frigate is).

I will finally have finished completely upgrading my fleet within the week. It's been a long haul, especially because I replaced all my frigates for a better color scheme, and then replaced like 75% of those to get the same color scheme but with crew of the race that matches what I think is appropriate for the frigate type (so now, all my frigates are white with black, Vy'keen combat, Korvax exploration and support, and Gek trade and industrial).

. o O (Then I can finally go back to grinding out the last few guild and race milestones I need.)

I can't trigger the Void Egg quest what am I doing wrong? [Answered]

Edit for future players: "An active void egg is one that has already been used In the star birth mission and won’t work for you" If a user shares this item. It is unusable and worthless. Purchase the egg with quicksilver from the anomaly.

I have tried everything suggested in other threads, it's been a week of exploring space. I've probably warped 50 times to new systems. I've tried storing the egg adding it back to my inventory. Pulsed around for hours in different systems with it. Mined space rocks for anomaly detectors.

The egg is "Active Void Egg" The egg was gifted from another player, perhaps it's bugged? I feel like I'm messing something simple up. I'm a noob so I'm confident this is a me problem.

So I guess I ran into a base building limit... [Discussion]

Which, initially, was like WTH and a huge disappointment.

But it forced me to revisit old bases I'd claimed and built since I started the game pretty clueless.

And it is remarkable seeing the progresa I made from base to base on design, materials, how well thought out it was, decisions (or my now questioning the decision) of placement.

Some of these I was literally scratching my head thinking "What was your dumbass thinking??" and others made me think (insert "Clever Boy" from Jurassic Park GIF)

Anyway, Im currently standing in one I named "Tropical Landlocked Resources"

Great! Except... I don't know why I called it that when it is a Toxic planet (granted looks like a mix of tropical and toxic) and there's nothing special about the resources. No more abundance of them than anywhere else on the planet. So idk what I was thinking lol

What affects spawn generation besides Usernames? [Question]

I couldn't find much info on this, and couldn't find the appropriate megathreads either, so here we are.

From my experiments, your username is enough to change the spawning gear a bit more when starting the game, which is way easier to notice when starting Expedition 3. My username of choice, the same used here, starts me with a yellow long fin ship and the head from the mercury synthesis guy. One of my friend's username consistently gave a silver ship with moskito nose, short upper wing, smaller side-wings, and a single long thruster. The species was the basic anomaly, with helmet and stuff.

I'm asking this because expedition 3 gives those extremely buffed S-class exotic ships, but I just wanted anything other than the horrible long fin. Changing usernames on PSN, while possible, is something I'd like to avoid. So I'm open to suggestions.

Is settlement production based on anything other than species - ie, planet, star, or economy factors? What does everyone else have? [Discussion]

So as u/d3_reaper_of_data described in this post there are about 5 non-changeable base resource production rewards that vary based on species and don't change, plus trade goods that change on settlement rank.

I'm wondering if it depends on other factors - ie, if settlements in systems with better economies produce better products, or if settlements produce different types of products depending on whether the economy is mining or power generation, or if it depends if the settlement is on a desert planet or tropical planet, or what type of star system it is, and so on.

Anyways, if anyone wants to help me try to figure this out, please post what type of settlement you have (or had) and what it's making and the planet and economy details - I'll start off by commenting what I've seen. Thanks!

Is the build radius a sphere or a circle? [Question]

I like building bases on natural elevated positions (natural towers, floating islands, etc.). If I build the base computer somewhere high, then if the radius is a sphere the build-able area at ground level would be smaller. Is that how it works or is it just based on coordinates, ignoring altitude? Because on the other hand if most of my base is up high and the base computer is down low, I would have to climb all the way down to access the base computer.

Expedition 3 tips for progression? [Question]

I'm new and just started expedition 3. I finished the first set but I am having trouble with the travelling. Anybody have some tips on how to travel faster? Each point is like an hour or more than 5hrs away from me right now, even my ship. I will list few things I have done so far but please provide some tips for this, it is very frustrating unlike the other two expeditions.

Things I have done so far:

Establish a small base near a trading outpost.

Obtained the blueprints for all the exocrafts.

I installed this new engine on my minotaur and now it has 0 fuel and I can't move it. Needs acid but I don't have materials to construct it or the BP.

I researched the quantum computer and got the water minerals for the engine but on foot right now my ship is an hour away.

Nearest settlement is 5 hours away and player bases/poi are 12hrs away.

Main things I need help with is faster travel. Even when I could use the minotaur it was so slow.

Something that ought to be there but is not. Don't you find weird that planets have a single biome? Just see how Earth is diverse here, from scorching deserts to frozen taigas.

Perhaps it can be introduced progressively, like some planets have 2-3 biomes, partly similar to each other. I'm not asking to have 40 vastly different biomes per planet, this would also be confusing probably.

An old folk's experience in Expedition 3 Redux... [Information]

First, I modified my Xbox Name to get an another exotic than the one I got in Expedition 3 Original.

I got a red TriWings with only one thruster, rear and front spikes, that will be ok if not perfect.

I also disabled multiplayer and every pvp or base modifying stuff, old monkey habits😉

Then I discovered the new spawning planet... Very different than the original one with very few ferrite dust rocks as said in many other posts and very few ammonia sources too even with Ammonia Deposits!

So I had to learn how to use Rusted Metal I found in the green boxes, refining it in ferrite dust.

Carbon was everywhere, Oxygen not too hard to get with plants and Killer plants.

Copper was everywhere so it was rather easy to get Chromatic Metal by refining it.

Storm cristals everywhere too.

The weather was not so bad except one time when I was on the top of a mountain and lightning strikes spots where following me for too long for my taste...

Then the hunt began to find elements to repair the ship, nothing close of course, I first adopted a kind of antelope that made the long walks easier and faster essentially to gather minimal resources.

Luckily it was not long to get access to the Minotaur and its scanner.

Adding the help of a few maps got me one target, a trade center, 1 hour away. With the mech it took me something like half an hour of bothering jumps in the mountains to get there.

On the way, close to the target I found a lake where I found the 3 sulphide cristals needed with the help of the Minotaur that is not bad to quickly search a lake!

The trading center was one of those jokes with only a trade terminal with nothing useful at all, even the pilots landing there had nothing... And, of course, you couldn't buy one of their ships neither!

Luckily there was another building very close that had a mechanical parts...

Super-Large Bases - Tips on handling the sprawl? [Question]

This is my first time, trying to make a base that goes beyond having a single room filled with a dozen machines... I'm trying to take advantage of the large amount of space that I have at my disposal and I'm not liking it?

My problem is, I'm trying to be as ordered as possible, making a grid that extends 500 ft in all directions from the base computer in the center. I'm using alloy floor panels to mark the grid, ideally at 50x50 squares (this world has SO MUCH ferrite...). The problem is, just laying to the main four quadrants has used up 1200 of my 3000 pieces and I'm starting to get crashes every time I try to hook up my first electromagnetic generator.

Am I going about this the wrong way? Is there a better way to lay this out that won't use sooooo many pieces? Beyond this issue, I'm enjoying trying to tame an arctic planet, especially since I have have an extreme radioactive planet with constant giant storms and aggressive sentinels next to set up a base on. :) Any kind of advice is appreciated... Thanks!

Giving up until another patch.. [Discussion]

Whenever I play, there are 2 options: I can play for hours and hours without a hitch, or 30 mins in, usually right after I scanned 10 new animals or mined a huge resource deposit, the game crashes to desktop. I lost several hours on this now, and I'm just done. Plopping down a savepoint every 5 minutes isn't my idea of fun, either.

Throw in the base building bugs with disappearing stuff, and this game went from relaxing exploring game to infuriating.

Which is a bloody shame, cause I just caught me this pet, and when seen in a different light of other planets, it turns out the colorful bubbles are horrifying eyeballs.

The Settlers mission in getting mixed up with my girlfriends mission. What do I do? [Question]

Me and my girlfriend play this game together. We both wanted to do our settlers missions for the first time so we set off together. We figured we wouldn't actually do the mission together since hers would likely be somewhere else. But when we set off our missions took us to the same settlement. We killed the sentinals together but she applied for overseer before me. So when I went to do it, the settlement was already taken.

From here I end up stuckwith no way to finish the mission since it wants me to claim a settlement that is aready claimed. So i went to the space station and bought a settlement map to find a new one. I went to that new settlement which was not far from the first one. Claimed it for myself and started doing the missions. However every time i finish a step it wants me to do everything at my girlfriends base. If i do the step at my base it completes the mission step, but every step wants to be done at her base.

Now things are getting even weirder. I went to go do the next step and i chose to build a big house. However my quest is now expecting me to get materials for a market but i havent built a market yet. My girlfriend has. It seems like her base upgrades are effecting my quest steps since the quest thinks im doing it all at her base. Now im stuck and have no clue how to fix this.

No option to accept free freighter after rescue!? [Bug]

No I don't already have a freighter. I played this game over a year ago and got a free freighter after rescuing it. I just rescued one in a new game. The pilot asks if I want to take command, but there are only three options given to me. Inspect, payment instead, or decline. I tried to inspect multiple times but it does nothing but start the dialogue over again. WTF? This seems broken. The reason I originally left this game was because of a different bug I was having with freighters.

Base and teleporter disappeared? [Question]

This isn’t super important, just something I am still puzzled about and don’t want to happen again.

To keep it short, I spent a good hour building a makeshift base underground on a very inhospitable planet adjacent to an activated indium mining resource. When I teleported back there, I can’t find the entrance to the base. The ground is solid, no entrance to base, and when I teleport, I don’t come out of the teleporter I built there. In fact, I can’t even find or see it but it must still be there as the game won’t let me build another. Keeps telling me only one per base. I dug a little and couldn’t find any remnants of base. Has this happened to anyone?

Bug with moving object in build mode? [Bug]

Hey fellow travelers!

I came back to the game yesterday after years of not playing NMS, and I seem to be experiencing an odd bug when moving around objects. Let's say I have a First Aid unit on a wall. If I grab it and transfer it to a new location, the last surface it interacted with will delete itself. Sometimes this is instant - sometimes after 30 seconds. Sometimes it'll also delete nearby objects (batteries for example will magically vanish). I've only played the Multiplayer mode so I don't know if it's related.

Perhaps there's a gross oversight on my part. I'm just asking to see if it's a known bug, as it's rather annoying.

I’ve only recently downloaded this game so I’m not sure if this is impressive or not, but I just found this really foggy planet with temperatures of 100C in the day and -100C at night. [Information]

As the title states, I found this really extreme planet with temperatures of 100C in the day and -100C at night. The atmosphere is really foggy as well and you can barely see anything on the planet. I went there for a mission to improve my Vy’keen standing, the mission wanting me to scan 7 unknown minerals but as I only downloaded the game recently (less than a few days of playing), this planet was a death wish and it used up all my sodium because I had to constantly repair my hazard protection which ran out every few seconds. Luckily, I made it out so it was alright. Also, this is my first post here so if you have any tips, let me know!

What do I need to know if I want to play this game as an exploration one? [Question]

I'm 100% new to the game (just go it yesterday), but of course I know a little what's all about. I'm interested on the "exploring" part of it, you know: fly up, land in a new planet, see what it has to offer, maybe name a couple things or two, and then fly up again. Is there anything I should take into consideration for that playstyle? Please feel free to tell me anything you want about it, even some general begginer advices or "hey that's cool but I thing you are wasting some parts of the game because of X". Thanks in advance! And sorry about my non-native english

Game is no longer fun for me without melee boost [Discussion]

I got really into NMS during the first expedition. It was great. I thought the game had come a long way. I think on the 2nd expedition they had removed melee boost. I find it difficult to have the will to play the game anymore. Why did hello games decide to remove something that made the game so streamlined? Do they think that slowly walking across the planets surface is something players enjoy? My best memories in the game were melee boosting during storms for miles and miles. And who did that hurt? Since they nerfed it, I log in, I see something several KM away, and it is literally upsetting. Whereas before I would have fun trying to get there in one jump.

Is this change something that players agree with? Did anyone else really lose their will to play the game after this nerf came through?

They say there are no dumb questions (I disagree) so lets see.... [Question]

How do you get to the edge, with certainty... or is it just a crap shoot. (on PC if it matters)

Along with that does anyone have the glyphs to get close to or at the edge? N,S,E or W is fine but eventually I would like to hit all 4.

Settlements are buggy and often annoying to deal with often do not pay off for the hours spent working on them. [Discussion]

-Settlement charts being consumed without locating a settlements.

-"Location interference" Whatever the hell that means.

-Finding a settlement that you want is very tedious, especially if you want a specific race settlement, either for aesthetic purposes or because you want good standing with that race because settlements will often be on worlds with actively poor weather(radioactive, volcanic, cold worlds) where there are much nicer worlds in that same system that would have made much more sense for the stupid bastards to settle on, gee, I wonder why they're miserable all the time.

-Settlement projects still have that bug where their timer will reset randomly, leaving me panicking to not be able to leave my settlement or turn off the game for this happening.

-Building projects will often be the same thing two or three times in a row, yes they still have benefits but the only ones we can interact with are the landing pads and the market(why does my settlement need THREE markets?)

-Settler Disputes are often too vague to figure out, often negating one of my positive attributes for something crappy or causing literally millions in debt for picking the wrong settler to side with.

-After spending HOURS through all of this, getting the debt down so the settlers can begin producing something, it's often something not very useful or doesn't sell very well at all. Making all that hard work amount to jack shit. If you are lucky enough, and ONLY if you are lucky enough, you might end up being able to use or sell something your settlers produce. Fat chance though. Here's 999 Nitrogen every day.

All-in-all I like the idea of settlements, at their base, they're fun to look at and toy with. They themselves and the mechanics surrounding...

Can somebody give me some advice on how best to progress? [Question]

I started the game a few days ago. I’m loving every minute, but I share my PlayStation with others, so I’d like to maximize my time. I get an hour, maybe two a day. Less on the weekends.

I’ve been to 2 star systems, but I’m out of hyperdrive fuel. I made it to the anomaly, and I got some quests to explore.. out there. I’m pretty broke all the time, and almost always out of inventory space, but I know that gets better as I progress.

Most walkthroughs say to do the quests first. Is that still the best advice?

I actually really like just exploring and scanning, and building tiny one-room bases with a teleported and biofuel thingy. Combat scares me. I high-tailed it back inside the trading station when pirates were scanning me.

Is it easier/more satisfying to explore and scan things after finishing some quests first? Or should I just continue on my slow, yet merry way?

Also, I’ve been naming the planets based on the resources listed on the planet page (like CopSaltJunk) and naming my bases the planet name with a “1” after it, in anticipation of building more than one base per planet. Is there a better way to name planets? Will I need more than one base on a planet? Is building a base on every planet in a system overkill?

Will I enjoy this game? [Question]

Hi there! I have been thinking about buying this game since I saw High Boy playing it. However, I do not have a very large budget so I want to make sure I will enjoy a game before I buy it. Do you think I will enjoy this game based on the games I have played?

I am currently playing a lot of shooters, like BFV, but I am getting tired of these kind of games. I want something a bit more relaxing. I have also played a lot of Minecraft, but when I reach the endgame (netherite gear, wither defeated, etc.) I usually get bored really quick and switch to playing something else. Other games that I have enjoyed are Horizon: Zero Dawn, RDR2, Hitman and Days Gone. The only survival game that I have played is Stranded Deep, but I got bored really quick.

Based on these things, do you think No Man's Sky is something for me? Also, is No Man's Sky playable on PS4? Since I have seen some playthroughs on PC, but they had to press a lot of buttons at the same time it seemed, which is something that is hard to do on controller.

Thank you in advance!

Base Sharing in NEXT with a friend [Question]

Hey!

So we started our journey a few days before xmas with my friend and I managed to find a paradise planet. We'd like to make a "shared" base that we can use both however I saw posts here in Reddit that the whole process is glitchy, 1 base = 1 official owner and the other person just donating materials to that base etc.

Therefore my question is what are the pros and cons of having a shared base? Can my friend use that base while I'm offline or we can only upgrade our base while we're both online and upload it afterwards?

..or we're better off having 2 separate bases next to each other?

How rare is it to own a Freighter? [Question]

As the title says, how rare is it to own a Freighter? Is it a common thing or is it super rare?

As to why I’m asking:

I was just going about my missions when I got a distress call from a captain asking for my assistance in taking down some pirates that were attacking them. I agreed and helped them (they were ranked as mostly harmless so wasn’t too bad) but once I finished, the Captain told me to board their ship, which turned out to be a Freighter and in reward for my help, they willingly offered to give the whole thing to me. For free. I decided to accept the offer and got a mission telling me to now inspect my freighter. My freighter?

I’ve been doubting I got it for free as this seems like a huge thing to just give away for free to someone, let alone me who only downloaded the game a few days ago and has barely anything to my name but after checking, it definitely was for free because the only money I had was a little less than 10k and my balance hasn’t changed at all and I’m sure a Freighter would sell for way more than just a mere 10k. I’m pretty sure that when it got handed over, it even said it had a value of six million or something.

So have I just randomly but fortunately come into possession of a Freighter that is really rare to have or is this a common thing? Also, as I said, I am new here as well so I’m not really sure if it is rare or not but it definitely feels like something I shouldn’t have yet. I haven’t even found where Artemis is yet.

Is it better to trade a ship, or mulch one for the credits when upgrading to a new one? [Question]

There is a fighter in the system I am in, its an S class, and I really like the body style and Iron Man color scheme. I am sitting on 5 ships already, two that I don't care about at all.

The S class ship is running about 57 million, and I am at 17.3 million. (I am farming cobalt and am up to 4 full stacks so far).

Would I be better off mulching the two ships for scrap and collecting the credits, or trading one of them at the point of sale for the S class?

Also, can I safely save and log out for a bit? or will the S class be gone from the system when I log back in

Respawning Damaged Technology? [Question]

So I recently started playing NMS and just settled my first base. In a damaged technology near my base I got an S class analysis visor upgrade giving me +6000% flora analysis rewards and +9000% fauna rewards. I thought that was dope so I made a couple hundred thousand scanning some stuff and got off. Then I got back on today and the damaged technology could be collected again and I got another S class upgrade that gave +8000% flora and +7500% fauna. I now make over 200,000 units for an animal scan and over 150,000 units for a plant scan. Is it supposed to be this easy to make cash?

a new challenge: finding all fauna on every planet in every system I visit [Information]

I started doing this last week. In previous playthroughs, I would often visit systems looking for multitools or running derelict freighters or picking up guild missions, but I would probably visit at most a planet or two and often none. But I figured last week I would try something new, visiting every planet and identifying all the fauna. It helps that the nanite bonus for this is now pretty good; I think I average about 2,000 nanites per planet so a six-planet system gets me about 12K nanites.

But mostly I am doing it for the challenge. Here are some observations after doing this in 10 systems in a row: The old bug where you can't find the last underwater creature because you find an extinct crab-like creature instead, and never get credit for the scan, appears to be gone. At least, I haven't seen it again and after the Origins release it had been happening really often. Once a bunch of creatures spawn in an area, if you've already discovered them all but there are still unknowns, the thing you need to do to get different creatures is get away from that area. Get in your starship and fly somewhere else. You will then get new spawns. This is true on the surface, underwater, or in caves. The easiest planets are of course the ones with no fauna (trivial) or, better, one creature - many of the anomalous planets are like that, one and done and it always spawns quickly. Next easiest are planets with no underground and no underwater fauna. Next easiest are ones with no underground fauna, but some underwater fauna. Next are ones with underground fauna, but only one kind, and what I call "good cave structure." More on that later. The hardest planets are ones with 2 or 3 underground fauna, one or two of which are rare. Extra-hard if the cave structure is bad. With underwater fauna, the hardest fauna to find are on planets with 3 or 4 underwater...

No man's sky permadeath beaten only ever installing technology 1 time. [Information]

Log; Starter ship- normal, but analysis visor is gone so be careful. Grinded on stuff for ages out of boredom. Went to next step of the mission

Part 1- the multitool is an issue. Throughout the main story there's 3 points where installing tech is recommended/required. 1- analysis visor 2- terrain manipulator 3- boltcaster Analysis visor and boltcaster and easily bought, but the terrain manipulator is much harder. Can't be bought from my knowledge, at least I've never seen one on a purchase while playing this yet, however I got a vykeen system. And habitable colony NPCs have unique interactions that can happen. It just so happens I lucked into the vykeen taking pity and mocking my multiool, giving me a better one. With an analysis visor, terrain manipulator and a pulse splitter.

Made a base at a colony because lazy.

Part 2- travel issues. Heading down after talking to people in the space station, you get directed to a crashed freighter, where we get the Hyperdrive recipe. This requires installing, but if ever you've tried buying ships in your first system, you'll know this game is clever and doesn't give the hyperdrive until you have one yourself. So..this is where our run dies.

Or it would be if the game was actually smart. Alas, the game tries to force us and still fails. The checkpoint you need to reach to have NPC ships contain the hyperdrive is unlocking the recipe, not installing it for the first time. Meaning...we need to get money and buy a ship.

But...I've always said to myself I'd keep the pillar. It's the ship you start with. So would it be fair to ditch it? ..I say not. And that's where we use a trick. Going to a trade outpost, I kept my radiant pillar's Inventory empty and found the cheapest ship there. I exchanged it with my pillar, which causes an NPC to own the pillar and be outside it. Then, go back and...

Losing trade post location on HUD during teleport and loading save. [Question]

Last night I started a longish trek to a trade post my signal booster found. I couldn't reach my destination before I had to go to bed so I stopped and plopped a base computer down and saved.

Haaalp, cause I'm trying to figure out if I'll ever see my future wife ship again!

I've noticed that when sitting at a space station, you will see a lot of the same ships landing and leaving. What is it that dictates what ships do or don't show up? Is there anything that does or is it mostly random? Will leaving the galaxy I'm in now cause other ships to spawn upon my return?

Basically, I want to dip off to this other system to make some dough. Got lucky and found a planet covered in Gravitino Balls that still sell pretty well. Well enough to make the 5 million units I need for this S class ship I saw. I let out an audible gasp when I saw this ship. I want this ship, I NEED THIS SHIP. I'm afraid to do anything to mess up my chances of it showing up at this space station again.

If I leave the galaxy and come back, will I still see the same ships at some point? Or will some other ships show up in their place? I've seen people mention things like "exotics" and maybe this ship was one. I mean... something about it was just so pretty. Does the type of ship it was change any of these factors? I forget the actual name of it but remember it was an S class freighter ship.

I wasn't sure how to ask Google this question so I'm hoping you guys can offer some insight. I'm a noob, only about 20 hours on my save .. so, any help would be greatly appreciated by this Cupcake!

I done messed up my freighter, any advice? [Question]

As the title states, I messed up my freighter. I just bought my first freighter after a few weeks of playing. The thing is, when I went to build the command computer, I messed up. I built a few corridors and then built the computer before realizing that I cant actually get to it. I built it too far forward, and it seems that its actually in the bounds of the command deck. Now I have ships waiting to be debriefed and I cannot get to the room to debrief them. I have tried going into the free movement build camera and building to the sides of the room to try and get to it, but I cannot.

Does anyone know of a way I can get to that room to delete it? If not, id even be willing to lose my frigates to get them off the list. But it seems you cannot dismiss them while waiting for them to debrief. I am on PS5, so it doesn't appear a save edit is an option for me. I'd hate to have two ships just stuck on strike until the end of time.

Well, that was unfortunate..... [Discussion]

Trying to continue the main story mission. I'm at a point where I have to take on Gek missions but, every time I accept a mission there's a message that I don't have enough standing. So, trying to increase my standing with the Gek (currently at 4). Just now, I accidentally obliterated one's ship because I mistook him for a pirate. Needless to say, this did not help my standing with the Gek. Clearly, there's only one option; Immediately quit without saving......like it never even happened....... ;)

I guess this could be a bug [Bug]

While I was going to the anomalie in using the hyperdive or slipspace (I forget the name) I got myself stuck inside the anomalie and almost died but I left the game before I did

Expedition Redux #3 PSA: Giant trading post (with ships!) about 10 minutes north of the starting position. [Information]

Not having your ship makes for a somewhat difficult expedition. Some necessary resources (e.g. ferrite dust) are rather tricky to find.

Thankfully, you'll find most resources you need at this trading post.

Better yet, if you want to cheat... you can just buy a ship from here ^_^.

Finally, have a look at my PSA: Refiner Recipe Cheat Sheet guide for several useful recipes to manufacture raw materials that can otherwise be difficult to find, like silver for that Pilgrim geobay if you want to get around faster.
