NMS Multiplayer [Question]

Can someone explain me how multiplayer works? If you join the game you will be on the same server with all the players in the world? I just played the game for 2 hours max, at launch.

NPC AI [Discussion]

I love the settlement I'm taking care of right now but it did make me think of the AI aspect of the npcs. Before the settlements, the substance of the games just being exploring and reading was fine and dandy, but now that I have somewhere with people I'm taking care of, I'm wanting more out of my citizens. Don't get me wrong, I love the random disputes and crap. I just had one where a guy sampled DNA from another guy while they slept and I was like 'bro you guys are wildin' But when they ask for a festival every other hour, I wish I could see that festival. And after adding the saloon, I wish I could see drunken behavior. So do you guys think there will be any advancement in the character of these guys? I would love to see that.

Heck of a Permadeath start [Information]

Started a new Perma game. Was wondering what I might see… go straight into camera mode. Then the following shows up: No oxygen visible No sodium visible

I think… uh oh. Looked behind me: a cave!

And in the cave: 3. Plants with carbon 4. Plants with carbon AND oxygen 5. Stalactites with base of cobalt AND copper

Then, as I check out the planet systems, I get a Rainy Planet with mellow weather - and the first place I land, I turn around, see golden icons, and find 14 curious deposits…

All I could do was shake my head…

Can this truly be a single player game? What does the future of NMS look like when the last patch drops? [Discussion]

This game is amazing. I have no insight into the future of the game (no more than anyone else without access to internal info). But, if Hello Games were to throw in the towel, would we truly be able to play until we decide to give up? The game feels so full even in single player mode. Does the game really have a dependency on the cloud other than having the ability to sync your saves between your Xbox and your PC?

Bonus topic: What could Starfield possibly have to offer that NMS doesn't offer already? Just can't see it getting any better than this. Even with games like Skyrim to bolster expectations for Starfield, IMO, NMS is still superior to Skyrim or any other RPG I've laid eyes on in the last 20 years.

How can I make money? [Question]

Whats the most efficient way to make tons of units these days?

Soo many buildings.. [Question]

On the planet that I am currently on I was hunting drop pods when I stumbled over several buildings all clustered in the same area. (Around 500-600 units diameter) So far I have found 3 atlas com towers, 3 minor settlements, 2 observatories, 1 crashed freighter, 2 drop pods, 1 abondoned building, 1 depot, and 2 save points with the "mobile homes" next to them. Has anything like this happened to anyone else? First time plating the game. 122 hours in, and first time I've seen soo many structures this close to eachother

I can't get my Ship back I bought :( [Question]

Hey everyone,

I'm looking for a way to get my 2nd bought spaceship back. The starters were out of fuel after I landed beside a stranded ship. After I got the stranded ship to a space station to sell it the game gave me the starter ship into the space station (maybe because the fuel of my main ship was empty). Sadly I can't send my main ship to the space station ir anywhere else.

Is there any way to get my other ship back?

No Man's Sky Vault - Backing up 'Unique' Ships, Multitools & Companions [Information]

I'm fairly new to this game, but something that struck me as possibly useful but currently missing was a proper backup of all the unique rewards in the game.

There have been starter ships, pre-order rewards, expedition rewards and twitch drops that have offered unique and pre-determined ships to players, most of which are no longer available by any normal method.

What I've been doing (while learning how the game works behind the scenes) is taking unaltered backups of each of these unique items that I can get my hands on.

I've uploaded all of these backups to github here; No Man's Sky Vault where you can browse the different options, with pictures and stats.

This page contains all the seeds you'll need to edit your saves and change the appearance of your ships/multitools/companions to match the unique one. I've been using NomNom for this, but there's plenty of tools available.

Alternatively, you can directly download cmp, shp and mlt files to import the original item to your save. All items are exactly as they would have been when you initially obtained them, down to installed tech and exact inventory sizes. These files were backed up and can be restored using the No Man's Sky Collections tools.

Some notes; The Gold Vector and Burrowing Monstrosity do not have seeds that you can copy, they are only available via downloading the backup and restoring using NMSC. Companion personality traits are still randomly generated for unique companions. They're generally constrained to small ranges though. I hatched multiple eggs for each and selected one example of each to upload at random. The starter multitool has one piece of tech repaired, this is only because it was required to be able to save...

PD self-inflicted rules [Discussion]

Not so hardcore as to do the Iron man ruleset but have set myself the following limitations. Only use the starter ship Radiant Pillar - sub task get it to S class No using fast routes to units, such as chlorine expansion If someone in the anomaly gifts me stuff, don't keep it but regift it to another player. Only use decorative expedition rewards

Any suggestions for other rules that I might add?

I'm 7 hours into my 3rd attempt at PD. In my first 2 attempts I died due to lack of care when jetpacking and am being a lot more careful this time. I enjoy the grind of getting resources etc.

A different Item/Resource Duplication Glitch [Bug]

Hello friends. I will need your help on this one, you gotta do me a favor.

Go to a space that is in the vicinity of one of your base-computers.

Place down a wooden wall for 10 carbon, any of the starting-walls work.

Then, place a Large refiner (any other placable Item would do as well, but I think this one showcased the effect rather nicely) next to it. Now, align yourself so that you stand in front of the large refiner, and your view is centered such, that it is somewhere inside the wall behind.

Next, hit y->c (or z->c for english keyboards), and select the refiner, the game should refund you resources, DON'T right-click. Look at the wall. If it is highlighted in blue with some lines, the glitch is already in progression. If it isn't, I ask you to try again a few times from altered angles.

If the wall is blue, place the refiner, and see the wall vanish. If this happened, then check your inventory to realize, that you have a refiner on the ground, the materials for it in your inventory, and the wall is gone. So what you did, was exchange 10 Carbon for 200 chromatic metal, 100 Sodium Nitrate and 5 microchips. Repeat infinitely.

Please report your findings! I have to know if I'm the only one who can do this.

Thanks in advance,

Krolan

P.s.: I have sent an identical message over at the Steam Community Forums.

16/16 Possible Mission Bug? [Bug]

Hey, Travelers! I’m currently on a mission step for 16/16 that requires me to Locate Portal Leylines after speaking with -Null- at the Holo Terminus after speaking about the Gek’s horrific past. I found the portal, activated the glyphs and entered. It warped me to a new system, but I was in the middle of space in just my exosuit. Should this be happening or should it spawn me on a planet? This is on my Permadeath play through so you can imagine the surprise when I got out of the portal and was surrounded by asteroids lol

Analysis Visor no longer showing Locations? [Question]

I am working on a project to survey all of the locations on a paradise moon. Marking them as I go by dropping a Base Computer on each. Now that I've marked roughly 230 of these marked locations, the Analysis Visor is no longer showing locations at all. No matter how close. Marked or unmarked... Nothin'

Did I overwhelm the system??

Very beginning [Discussion]

One thing I like to do when starting a new journey is to find a cave, set down a refinery in it, before I have my starter ship running and just mine the hell out of cobalt, the. Sell it at a station for my starter cash. Usually nets me about 2m cash easily for about 30 minutes of work.

How many others do this?

NMS Screensaver [Question]

Permadeath Multiplayer Death & Base Computers [Question]

A few peeps and I started a permadeath run together but along the way one of them dies (after building their base). Their base is still there, so they thought they could go back and use the same base, however the base computer registers them as a GUEST even though it's in their name. They are limited as a GUEST and cannot do anything. The base computer cannot be removed by them either.

Is there a way to remove the old base or reclaim build/edit permissions?

How do I find my friend who hasn't played since "vanilla" NMS? [Question]

My friend has told me there is the possibility he is going to get back into the game but he hasn't played it since vanilla NMS.

I recently picked the game back up but after some dedication I have got my glyphs (thank you to the community for assisting me btw) but I'm afraid when he buys the game again and starts out he'll either have a fresh start or his save will put him back to square one with nothing earned or broken tech. He's the sort that that alone will turn him off the game. We're interested in co-oping this.

What is a easy way I can find him with progress I have done? I'm still in Euclid so I don't have to galaxy jump.

I noticed there is a PSN friends list and beside that is a NMS friends list. If I add him to the latter, will that help me?

Off the top of my head he could find his way to a Stargate and tell me the address OR will he be able to see my base portal from a starbase if I add him as a NMS friend?

Thank you in advance!

New-ish to the game, and I have a few general questions. [Question]

I'm about 60 hours in, and I'm really enjoying the game. I've mostly been exploring and doing the Artemis quest line, but I have some questions about some finer points.

Are Exotic ships worth anything beyond their rarity? I picked up a squid exotic for 5 mil, but it only has 15 inventory slots (max of 20). Why wouldn't I just keep using my 30 slot hauler?

Is there any better way to find rare underground fauna? It's so frustrating to wander caves for literal hours to find a single animal.

Are exocraft really worth it? Why?

Thanks in advance for any answers. I'm sure they've all been asked before, but I can't seem to find anything definitive.

Suddenly I can't see my husband's bases [Question]

Freighter building restrictions in Frontiers [Question]

Hey - just came back to the game recently after maybe 8 months away. Unless I'm missing something, it looks like freighters no longer respect the "no base building restrictions" config option - in other words, I can't use non-"freighter approved" parts. This is a big problem for me, as I always wanted to make a dope expanded freighter base with windows and shit. Is there a way to get around this (perhaps with a mod or something)? Thanks.

Will I be able to run NMS in VR [Question]

Hello! I have recently bought a new laptop. It has a RTX 3060 (laptop), an Intel core i7 11800H (which I understand is pretty powerful), and 16 GB of RAM. Steam says it is absolutely VR ready.

Has the option to change Tethered/Locked Flight controls been removed? [Question]

I'm playing VR on the PC with Xbox Game Pass, and the flight controls are a little finicky. I've seen loads of posts saying that changing the flight controls to locked can help, but I only have the flight control options to change normal/inverted or sensitivity (which doesn't even seem to have an effect).

Has this been removed? Or is there a reason why I don't have this option?

No connection to matchmaking services [Bug]

First, I know bugs should be posted in the weekly thread. I've done that already, I'm just looking for help since I've searched for an answer for about 2 weeks now with nothing really coming close to answering my problem.

I'm on PS4, and my roommate has an xbox. We used to be able to play with each other, no problem, but now we can't connect to NMS multiplayer at all. When we check the network settings, we get "no connection to matchmaking services."

On top of this, my NMS friends list doesn't show anymore, and when I try to click on the button to get my "friend code" so I can give it to my other friends, the button literally disappears.

Though I am on DSL internet, ALL of my other multiplayer games work just fine. It's just NMS that won't work for me, and I simply can't find an answer. The closest I found was a post about a similar issue on a windows platform, and they fixed it by changing their microsoft password. That's not really something I can do on, you know, a sony product.

Any and all advice would be greatly appreciated. I just wanna play with friends again.

Thank you.

Cannot Use Wiring Glitch Inside Freighter | "Cannot Build / Base Out Of Range" [Question]

Hi! I recently started playing this game again, and it is freighter time!! I would love to implement the wiring glitch into my build. With that said, while I have perfected the wiring method on the ground, I cannot seem to have it function inside the freighter. When on land, the wire is green and allows me to go through with the glitch. On the freighter however, the wire always stays red and claims that it cannot be placed because my base is "-Out of Range." Obviously, the glitch cannot be performed if the game does not believe there is a wire to place.

I have tried recalling my ship, warping, reloading the game. I can place every other item on the ship. I do know that wires are not supposed to go on the freighter, but every source that I see use the glitch shows the wires on their freighters as green.

Any help would be appreciated, as this is driving me absolutely nuts. I would love to start my build, but want this to be settled first. Thanks all.

Can NMS run VR smoothly with this setup? [Question]

Hi, everyone!

I've just gotten my Oculus Quest 2 over the holidays and finally another Steam Sale has arrived and NMS is on sale! It's been in my wishlist for a while now but I really want to start it with VR because I've seen multiple reviews where they say this game is best played with it.

Unfortunately, I can't seem to find any definite answers that answer my question whether my rig can handle NMS VR. I'm looking specifically for people who has experience within my spec range but nevertheless I would be grateful for your inputs!

My specs:

GTX 1070ti

AMD Ryzen 7 3700x

16GB RAM

X570 AORUS Elite

*I plan to play it via Virtual Desktop, if that is relevant.

Modded Beauty & Loss of a Mod [Screenshot w/Game Mod]

I do hope this isn't against the rules, as I looked through them and did not see one it would break at first glance.

That Aside - The post has two purposes.One: To let people know who use the fantasy reborn mod set for no man sky, that the author has deleted their discord, the mod page, and the youtube page regarding this mod set.Two: To share my own experiance, and possibly read others experiences with or without mods in No man sky.

I played for a bit unmodded, (Fiance got us both the game recently) and at first I was conflicted with the game due to all the backlash and such I had read over the years, but despite all that I quickly found myself giggling to death as a massive sand-worm sent my fiance airborne and killing him. (The only fun thing about the world we set up a temporary base on. The constant heatwaves made it unbearable with icy cold nights) Though once we had done the main quest pretty much we moved over to mods like we do with most games, and my breath was taken away with how much potential the game can have with a few visual adjustments and generation changes.

The picture included is from one of the modded worlds I had visited in my multiple jumps that day, periodic extreme radiation storm, yet covered in lush dense foliage, all of the life was also oddly peaceful and not out for blood. From orbit the world also has a beautiful red hue, but the grass was oddly violet even though it was rare. This is one of the many amazing planets I found myself on, and I really should have taken more pictures for it and the life on it. Please let me know of your own beautiful worlds and experiences.

Help with VR performance on 3080TI. [Question]

Dear fellow interlopers,

I upgraded to a 3080TI but the performance of NMS VR is still poor. What am I doing wrong?

Specs: 8700k, 3080TI with latest drivers, 32Gb Ram, game installed on SSD

So far I followed this Steam Article on NMS VR performance. I also updated the amount of logical cores in TKGRAPHICSSETTINGS.VR.MXML and TKGRAPHICSSETTINGS.MXML

I also tried setting DLSS to maximum performance which definitely helped but made the game...pretty ugly but playable.

It's still very far from smooth. Any recommendations of how I can improve performance in this game?

Multiplayer Questions [Question]

Hey everyone. I’m still a little new to this game, but have been really enjoying it so far. I have a settlement that I’m slowly bringing out of debt and a really awesome freighter. I’ve talked a couple friends into playing as well. I’m not really sure how multiplayer works though. I’ve seen the Nexus quests we can do together, but what else is there? I’m assuming they can dock their ships on my freighter and we can use it as a base of operations. Can I give them items? Can they access my storage boxes? What do you like doing together? Oh and I’m having some issues with my freighter base. Walls reappearing after I’ve opened up areas. Floors disappearing. Does that happen often?

Race track randomly kicks me out of edit mode? [Question]

I've been working on this track for dozens of hours, I went to rearrange some check points and found edit mode was broken, it couldn't figure out how to reconnect the checkpoints after removing and adding them back, so I cleared the whole course and started remaking the check points from the start.

At a certain point maybe 1/3rd of the way through the course I was suddenly getting kicked out of edit mode while going through a cave. I had no problems going through here before but now it kicks me out at the same point every time. I've tried clearing and remaking the checkpoints, deleting the race initiator then starting over, reloading at a save beacon at my nearest base boundary (not far front there, it's just outside it), nothing is getting this to work.

I'll be heartbroken if I can't finish this track because of this, anyone have any ideas I could try or anything?

Can you stop people from adding terrain to your base? [Question]

The ACTUCAL straw that broke my no Man Sky back. [Bug]

So I'm literally in tears. Because i had Happiness and it all got ripped away. In a way thats about to make me quit No Man's Sky Forever. I Always have critical Buggs and submit zendesk tickets and never get any resolution and I Feel that this one is no better.

I recently had redone all the Expiditions because i knew that there was no way i could live with my self if i missed them again.

After completing the 3rd i went and set up a new settlement and built a forever base, based off st. Johns Cathedral (it wasn't complete yet but it was like 40%)

for the last two weeks I've been on a skyrim kick. I Came back to NMS to check on my settlement and do some building. and i was missing a save file at the main menu. I Booted up my main file finding it weird that it said 167 hours instead of 190+ and when it loaded up i noticed the last manual save was in November 2021 and i thought NOOOO. wait we can save this. I tried to restore the save from my PSN cloud data, but apparently when i logged into the save file and game, the data synced on the cloud. so i m stuck with the loss i think. after coming to grips with losing my settlement and base, i was fine, ya know. I could find another and rebuild. I went to the Space anomoly to get the steampucnk backpack and golden vector ship back and it's Treating me like i never did the Redux's.

granted last week my Ps5 had an error and wouldnt download games or updates, i had to reset it. But all the game save data for literally every other game was fine. and i need someone to talk me off the edge. Cause i can't handle losing my new base and settlement and all the redux rewards I actually got

Potential Newcomers to the game. [Information]

My cousin and I were looking into the game but were curious if there was any ground combat in the game and if it is any good. We are looking for a survival, resource collecting, crafting game with combat and exploration. I feel like the game would get boring to me if it's just an explore and collect kind of game.

Tip for the weekend mission [Suggestion]

Buy and bring 2x Star Silk before selecting the mission. You'll need it for the construction, and it can't be made. Buying it before will stop you from needing to jump around to high-economy systems trying to find it.

New Player question about survival [Discussion]

So I just started playing the game within the last month and already have over 100 hours. Really loving the exploration and base building. That being said, I tried survival mode but was a bit disappointed it didn't have actual survival mechanics (i.e.: Eating, Drinking, Sleeping). Has the developer mentioned this ever being added at some point? We already can harvest animals and plants, we can farm, have a nutrient processor and also a bed we can't currently sleep on. They could add Hydrogen as a resource and we could combine two parts hydrogen to one part oxygen to make water lol. Anyways, curious if anyone thinks that could ever be a possibility based on what they've seen over the years.

Can’t turn any portals off [Question]

I’ve tried to use my portal and it won’t turn off after a soft reset, a hard reset, teleportation, or warping in and out if my system! It’s the same for all of my system portals! I can turn them off, but if I start the game up again, they’ll just turn right back on to their most recent destination! It’s driving up the wall!

New plyer feedback [Suggestion]

Critisim

Splitting cosmetics between time limited events and what is basically an unobtainable premium currency creates second class players, like me. If you have to convince players to play part of the game by holding items hostage, that part isnt worth playing.

The expedtions arent even rolling like forza, you miss it and its gone, what if i dont wnt to play space game next time its live, if it even ever is live again what if im in another country. Please quit your live service bulshit.

Its also increably insulting given that it means 1/4 of cosmetic for characters are looked away behind it. inluding two of the three backpacks, the thing you spend 99% of your time staring at, i mean are you fucking kidding me?

If you really want to reward players, give them the items for free and make everyone else pay for it.

To be clear if quicksilver, which looks allot like premium currancy, becomes purhaseable, i will leave the game, and ill never buy another from this studio.

The above is frankly appaling, I bought a game. Not a second job, quit the live service event crap. You want to make multiplayer senarios, make multiplayer senarios, dont punih me for being a girl and not wanting fucking harassed, where is the option to turn off other players not on my friends list, or entirely?

Please quit this mirotransation bulshit, its worse than mir5otrsation at least with those i could throw money at the problem. No-one should miss out beuae they dont want to hve to keep a sedule and n eye on your news for, a space mineraft game.

Interiors and side rooms are way too dark.

Suggestions

There needs to be more outfit save slots

There need to be more cometics, and they should not be locked away behind timed events

There should be non bipedal aliens with inteligance

there should be an extra galatic threat that ambushes you while warping

there should be meteor...

So I'm literally just about to start trying this game soon and had a question [Question]

I wanted to ask about how the community is for this game, I know it's kind of a weird first question for a new player but I have a few reasons.

I'm the type of player that never EVER uses voice chat (idk if this game has one or not) because I'm very self conscious and afraid of toxicity in games. I don't really have friends to play this or other various games with because I have borderline personality disorder, so what I was hoping is maybe this one could help me meet some people and maybe even try and get around or at least try to help my fear of voice chatting (obviously not for all games cause some are toxic as is).

I want to open up more to trying to make friends and depending on how this community is and if the things I've heard about it are true then I'm hoping maybe this one could help me do it.

Thank you for the help, I hope to enjoy this game and make some memories from playing it <3

Freighter floor Tiles Glitching Out? [Question]

So I recently got my first Freighter, and have made just a few rooms to control my Frigates but I immediately observed noticable gaps in the floor Tiles throughout the Freighter even where I didn't make any rooms. I can assure there hasn't been any damage to the Freighter so It has to be a glitch? I also tried warping it multiple times even to a different system - to no avail. Now, could it be glitch with just with my Model or is this something universal for all freighters? ( I can attach some screenshots if needed because my PlayStation doesn't help export videos easily)

What exactly is the "scan radius" buff on scanner upgrades? [Question]

I'm having trouble finding the answer to this online, but I'm trying to upgrade my multi-tool and am wondering what exactly the "scan radius" buff actually buffs. Most likely I'm thinking it's just the radius of the scanning you do for resources on planets (the one that shows plants that give oxygen, sodium, etc.), but I'm wondering if it might affect the distance you can see landmarks from with the analysis visor.

The former won't really make a difference for me since I'm past the stage of the game where you would farm resources like that, but increasing the view distance would be useful. I'm wondering mainly because I'm looking to add X-class upgrades to my multi-tool, which may or may not give a scan radius buff at all. If the buff isn't that important, I'll just prioritize fauna scan profits.

12 suggestions for making this literally the best game ever [Discussion]

Started playing again recently and after hitting about 30 hours in a new permadeath save, there are several simple changes that I think would really elevate No Man's Sky to its full potential. (Sorry in advance if any of these have been suggested already.)

Sean Murray's head as a helmet choice in the appearance modifier.

The ability to customise the size of your ship by 8000% in either direction.

PvP but only against those weird underwater crab things, which would be a more evolved species with underwater huts, marketplaces, and weapons facilities. Their story one of warrior lineage and the ruthless way they're all scatterblaster trained from birth.

An option to find and tame wild Sean Murrays as creature companions.

After you die in permadeath you're respawned as an invisible ghost with the ability to screw with other players like a poltergeist, like rearranging their base parts while they're building, or taking control of their ship so you can fly it into a volcano.

A new survival mode - wait for it - that's actually challenging.

Multiple biomes on the same planet just like on a real planet, with over 5 million animal species including insects and bacteria and giant squids. Tides and ten foot waves. Ability to surf mega-tsunamis. Pirates on the oceans. Ability to work as border patrol. Snow capped mountains over 9000m above sea level. Dense rainforests with birds of paradise and mutated killer ants. Fucking dragons and shit. Bears. Intelligent lifeforms with complex economies and dense, living, sprawling cities. Procedurally generated political systems. Ability to buy and sell real estate. Or start your own fast food business. Ability to date various other highly evolved lifeforms. Have a family. Watch your son grow up and take him to a rocky outcrop to tell him that one day these lands will be his.

Syncing option with...

How does multiplayer interaction work outside of the anomaly? [Discussion]

Hey folks. I get the gist of how multiplayer interactions work inside the anomaly, but how about outside of it?

By astronomically small chance (it would seem) stumbled on someone's base. Some observations:

Every time I visit, it says they've edited their base that day - does that mean they're really actively playing? The problem is the building hasn't changed in layout since the first time I visited week ago, so it doesn't seem like it's changed at all. Does the player need to upload it for me to see the changes?

Is it ever possible to interact with this person at their base? Do we both need multiplayer on (and maybe this person has it off?) Do we need to be friends?

I built a small base across the lake from this player with a message unit and left them a friendly hello. Any suggestions on how to ensure they see this base and message?

Any suggestions / comments would be welcome - thanks!

Brand new PS5 player trying to find PS5 upgrade [Question]

Hey everyone, I have a problem regarding the PS4 to PS5 upgrade for No Man's Sky.

On Thursday, January 27th, I've finally got my PlayStation 5. Took me 14 months, blame the semiconductor shortage/low supply for it. I did a data transfer from my PS4, which ended about 9 hours after it started. I own NMS on disc, and I own it since the first days in August 2016. I put the disc in, and it installed. However, it is just the PS4 version.

Thing is, there's a PS5 upgrade for the game, but I do not see that option. The only option I see is to buy the game for the full price. Which I'm not going to do because I already own it on disc. I've searched the internet for any solutions, but so far I'm not any step further. My PSN account and disc are the same region.

So my question is: is anyone here able to help me out? All I need is the option to upgrade NMS from PS4 to PS5, thanks.

Is there a correlation between planets with ancient bones and no/very few buildings? [Question]

Been running on an ice planet in PD. Great place, lots of cobalt, ferrite, sodium, all of that. And lots of ancient bones - just one problem.

Outside of the start area, where there was one flag, I have encountered exactly one wild galactic trade terminal and two monoliths in 1.5 hours of play. Always running in one direction (North, easy since on compass). I am now 37 minutes away from the start point.

No buildings of any other sort have shown up, unless you count damaged machinery.

None. Zip, zero, nil.

I‘m getting a bit weirded out. It‘d be nice to find something… like a settlement, a trade station, a shelter, a damaged ship, even a basic flag. No beacon, no archive (that‘d be nice!), no wild computer (and that would be wild…), absolutely nothing…

What do you guys think about this possible update:

A Game mechanics that allows to create a family like in the fable games.

Also a shelter Game mechanics similar to fallout4 so that you create a base and if this base accomplish some habitable requierements, shelters would come and request to join the base and have their own families, business or relations in that base.

This way, you could create a base with a familie and It would get bigger and bigger to the size of a town populated with many shelters living thier npc lifes.

Cannot say how many spots you have to visit to get the title, because maybe I went to some "counting" spots before without knowing. At least I would say you need a minimum of 5 spots.

What you have to do:

Fly low over the planet's surface and use your ship scanner to find unknown buildings. If your scanner finds something, the spot will be indicated by a blue signal with a white building. Fly to the signal and check if it's a right spot for the title. It has to be a spot where there is a broken machinery and a Korvax right next to the signal. (See picture) You can check it by scanning the broken machinery with your multitoolscanner. As in the picture, a building signal must be displayed above the broken machinery signal. Now talk to the Korvax and possibly follow the instructions. Open the broken machinery. At least I did. Don't know if this is absolutely necessary. As mentioned above, I don't know how many spots you have to visit.

5 spots are already marked with a comm signal.

Hints and tips are welcome. Good luck.

Having trouble tagging giant sandworms... [Question]

My main base is on a paradise planet near the center of the Hilbert Galaxy. It has occasional giant sandworms and they are very hard to tag. I've gotten every other animal on that planet, I even have a screenshot of one flying overhead but I can't seem to tag it with the scanner. Has anyone been able to do this?

Your favourite examples of high profit refining, mining and gas extraction setups [Discussion]

Hey all,

I've made very good use of:

Chlorine expansion (1 Chlorine + 2 Oxygen = 6 Chlorine). Ends up being wildly profitable and is self-sustaining for the most part. I just pop over to a affluent space station and buy up 1000s of oxygen from the pilots that enter and exit, and the chlorine production sustains itself. Having multiple refiners going at the same time (2 big, 3 medium) is easy millions of units for some tedious but easy work.

I find an electromagnetic energy source on an indium rich planet, build up tons of electrical output, and then use base extension outwards and build indium mining setups, all back connected with power/piping to my base. Large up front cost and effort, followed by absolutely zero effort and loads of units + loads of chromatic metal for free (just a bit of refining required).

I especially like the zero effort of Indium mining (once you put in the time and effort initially).

Anyone else want to share their favourite money making schemes?

Question - starship suffixes [Question]

This is probably a stupid question, but I’m bored.

The model number suffixes after starship names - for example the “BC1” at the end of “Radiant Pillar” - do these have any meaning to them at all? Or are they just arbitrary/random?

The thing that makes me ask is that I found my first exotic ship by looking at pics online and looking for glyphs. I went hunting for the Favorite Omen UF7, went to the exact coordinates I found online and sure enough the exact ship I was searching for arrived. Same color scheme, same slots, same name EXCEPT that suffix at the end. MY ship is called Favorite Omen TF8.

I’m sure I’m just diving too deep, but I keep scratching my head on this one. Anyone have any info on this?

The best system to live in? [Question]

So it's been two years since I last played no man's sky and I've now picked the game back up. I'm now looking to settle down a few bases in a system for farming nanites & stasis devices. This is what I've been looking for -

• Wealthy system with high sell or low buy % • A system with 2 or 3 moons for quicker travel to resources • Blue star system for better resources • Enough planet types to gather radon nitrogen and sulphurine

Am I doing this right or can I skip some steps? Or can I do anything else to find the best system to live in?

Any comments appreciated, cheers!

Question about Technology/Upgrades [Question]

I've looked for over an hour for a proper answer to my questions about the Technologies. Can someone confirm if I'm understanding things correctly?

Here is the example that explains my confusion:

There seems to be 4 technologies in addition to the core Jetpack technology related to mobility(Airburst Engine, Rocket Boots, Efficient Water Jets, and Neural Stimulator). The game refers to them as Upgrades which is confusing, since there is a completely separate category of upgrades(it seems) for each of these technologies. This all gets compounded when all the images/logos in-game look the same and have the same colors.

For the sake my question, I'm going to rename things slightly. If someone could confirm if I'm understanding things correctly, I'd appreciate it! Technology renamed to "Core Tech" Jetpack Upgrade renamed to "Subsystem Tech" Airburst Engine Technology Upgrade renamed to "Augment" Jetpack Tanks

Based on my new naming scheme, I'd unlock blueprints for both Core and Subsystem Tech, and buy Augment Modules. However, do Core and Subsystem Techs stack or should I only have one per type (mobility, life support, languange)? Can Augments augment both types?

Hopefully my question is clear. Thanks!

Gratitude and Amazing Awe to whoever “made me a millionaire” yesterday. #newbie Story below. [Discussion]

My husband and I have been playing separately since he got me the game for Christmas. I’ve only got about 40 hours in. He can stay up later, has maybe 2-3x that time.

We finally got a second copy so we could try to play together. Yesterday, we both tried to just “head to the Anomaly” to meet. I took a seat at a bench outside Helio’s stall. Then, I went upstairs to sit with my husband to try to figure out how to get us “connected.”

Eventually, we did. We played a while. It was fun!

Eventually, I got to a merchant to sell some of my carefully farmed Fungal Cores - except.. that wasn’t the valuable thing in my inventory. I had STACKS of material that I had NO idea how they got there. Millions and millions of units.

My husband swears it wasn’t him - which means someone dropped it sneaky-like while I was sitting at the Anomaly. I was stunned

Kind Stranger, I’m sorry I didn’t see it to thank you.

I’ll pay it forward when I’m not so new.

Need help taking a photo for a tattoo idea! [Discussion]

Hello fellow travellers! I recently started playing this game and have become infatuated with it. I’ve always wanted a space themed tattoo and now find myself in desperate need of a No Man’s Sky tattoo! But I need help.

The idea is this: I would like a tattoo of a traveller (anomaly body) flying forward in the air (so the legs are kinda curled back) specifically with the rainbow jet pack stream behind them. I don’t have the quicksilver to buy it right now and am too excited about the tattoo to wait haha.

Would anyone with the rainbow jet pack be willing to take an in game photo of their character flying with the jet pack stream so I can use it as a reference for the tattoo artist?

Question about performance on different gaming systems [Question]

I’m playing on my trusty old PS4 and besides sounding like a F-16 taking off, it’s quite slow to load. I’m also having issues with ships being completely rendered (sometimes it takes a full minute before I see a complete ship), big fps drop around my settlement, and I often need to reload if I land at any bases I’ve built in order for the base to actually appear.

My question is how many of these issues are due to the game, how many are a result of the console? Will upgrading to a next gen or pc sort this out?

Thanks in advance!

How do I compare Fighters by Name? [Question]

So yes, I am trying to min/max my fighter starships while at the same time finding the one or two that look the best. Currently, I have my eye set on 4 which is just too many. So I need to scratch a couple off the list. I'd like to do that by eliminating them on the basis of the damage bonuses they "will" have when I get them to S-class. But I can't see to see how to do that.

I have been searching the interwebs for catalogs on which ships provides which damage bonuses at S-class. I can't find it. I have renamed a couple of my ships, but one which I put a metric ton of storage augmentations was something like Roshi's Indiscretion. Can't find that one. Or the MO1 Kegaw that came to me as an S-class. Can't find that one either.

Anyone know if such a catalog exists?

Otherwise, I am going to have to get enough nanites to upgrade one to S-class, see the bonuses, reload the save, upgrade a different one to S-class, rinse and repeat.

screen pulsing/frame dropping [Bug]

https://youtu.be/NF4fwur4Q50

Gif and HQ youtube clip added for visual clarification.

so yesterday(and again today) i started getting this weird pulsing of my screen which probably has to do with my frames(while standing still or moving) dropping by about 8 every second and immediately going back up (i.e. 120 to 112 then back to 120, rinse, repeat)it gives movement the feeling of network lag and is too much to ignore.

I fixed it yesterday by going into "TKGRAPHICSSETTINGS" and messing with the "num of high threads" and "num of low threads" as someone had suggested for a problem that sounded like mine. and for whatever reason, i started doing it again this morning, settings that i changed are back to the default ones and i've tried duplicating what i did yesterday but nothing seems to solve it. please help

Seemingly stuck on "Patterns in Time" mission [Question]

I'm not sure what to do, I've looked stuff up, I've done what the game asks and I'm seemingly making no progress. I have the objective "Speak to a Korvax Cartographer", and of course, I have tried it multiple times. I have the options to buy/exchange maps, or ask for help. I try asking for help, to which they tell me to gather data from waypoint towers. Which I have also done, about 5 times now, and that makes no difference either. I've looked it up, apparently I need a convergence cube, which I have gotten 2 of, but those do nothing either. After all this, nothing has changed, and I'm on the same objective.

Sorry if this post is a little confusing, I'm bad at explaining, and I've been trying this for 2 or 3 hours now, and I'm honestly not sure what else to do except ask around and hopefully find an explanation. I've also went through a black hole and restarted the mission, but to no avail. Is this a bug or am I dumb?

Hellooo, I need recommendations [Question]

Hi, so I am fairly new to PC gaming (outside of playing old DOS games as a kid) and I am looking for recommendations on games I might like to play. So far I really loved playing Terraria and right now I am playing No Man Sky. I don't care for first person shooter games. I am okay with the minor culling in NMS, but it is definitely not a mission I like to pick. Other games I have played on PS and enjoy are Little Big Planet, Earth Worm Jim, and Flower. I played Stardew Valley on my phone for a while, but it did get boring. Any recommendations would be helpful, thanks!

Did they remove customization options? [Question]

Came back after not playing for a few months and I've noticed that some customization options are gone, namely the head shapes for Vy'keen.

So I have my 'big brain' Vy'keen here loaded from a preset, and I can swap to any other head and keep the head shape, but the moment I try to load the heads without using my preset, it's normal with no option to change (for example just changing races then changing back to Vy'keen). None of the default presets have this head shape either.

Is there any reason this was removed?

Is it possible to play completely offline? [Question]

Title says it all. If I add a firewall rule to No Man's Sky disallowing it to ever access the internet, will the game work correctly? I have Asperger's syndrome and don't want to play with other people, or even so much as see signs of other people. I want to play in an universe that is devoid of humanity except for myself, and I just want to make sure that I'm not effectively breaking the game by doing so. I'm aware that the expeditions won't work, but I'm willing to just not play them and cheat Quicksilver in. I'm also aware that there is a very low probability of seeing any signs of humanity even if I'm online, but unfortunately the very few times when that happens ruin the game for me, so I'll appreciate it if you're understanding of my personal preference with the game. :)

Very Large Worm Creature [Question]

I am very new to this game and have discovered an absolutely titanic worm creature living on the planet I made a base on. I’ve only seen the thing twice and haven’t been able to scan it either time. It’s mostly just elusive and has scared the crap out of me both times it’s showed up. I’ve begun joking that it’s the planet’s resident cryptid. In all seriousness, should I be concerned that this creature may harm me or pose a threat to my base?

Game modes [Question]

So, I started to become very comfy playing normal mode then I started another save on survival mode, which is giving me already trouble to keep it up. So let's ask few questions about the conditions.

1-was I unlucky or scanner takes double time to recharge? If it takes longer is there a way to decrease the time with upgrades?

2-Will there be sentinels patrolling even on planets that doesn't show sentinel activity? I mean, wherever I start gathering a sentinel shows up.

3-I died once in a planet. I was very close to my starship, but when I went back for my grave, it was not there, is this part of the scenario or was it glitchy?

4-I started destroying sentinels for pugneum, and on the 4th wave a walker showed up, I did skipped but it stood in stand by by my base, see pic bellow:

Waiting for me to go after it.

Is terraforming still buggy? [Question]

When I played last time there was pretty much widespread agreement that the terraforming system in NMS was a bit broken and liable to get buggy, even if one did not actually hit the terrain modification ceiling. Is that still an issue, or is it a bit more stable now? I want to know if I should avoid it, or if it's okay to use it in moderation now. I remember the devs were talking about making it so each planet would have its own terrain modification limit, instead of using one limit for everything a player does, but I'm not sure if that was ever implemented. Thank you, and I apologize if this is a question that's asked often. I did a quick search and couldn't find anything particularly recent.

Creating a Treasure Hunt and need advice on parameters [Discussion]

Greetings travellers

Recently I've been working on the hardest treasure hunt in NMS hiding a Crypto wallet seed phrase using comm balls

25 words hidden within 255 galaxies for an approximate $100 prize

The clues will be in hexadecimal coordinate and will lead to the center of a search area of 10,000ly so the comm ball would be within a 10k radius around the clue coordinates

This is to prevent PC players from save editing directly to the words plus to increase difficulty I will not list the Galaxy names that contain the comm balls

My question is if I decided to go bigger and open the game up to donations and make the prize pool over $1k would the 10,000ly search area be too small? Should I increase it to 50k? 100k?

Also asking this genius community if you can think of ways people could cheat this game on PC because I want console players to have the same chance

One goal of this is to bring some fun media attention to No Man's Sky and the Blockchain Network's wallet I'm using

I'm hoping to make one of the most difficult prize games ever done in a video game possibly taking teams of people searching for this treasure

I'll keep this community informed on progress but for now I'm just brainstorming

Performance is still crap around your base on Xbox Series X [Discussion]

I am nowhere near the build limit and yet have had to scrap 2 home bases due to lag before I even finish decorating. The rest of the game runs normally smooth 60fps (except the Anomaly) but the minute I make a house bigger than 4 walls there is lag.

If necessary let us add placeable occlusion blocks like Far Cry 2's map maker..

Also, lighting like lanterns is not smooth anymore and has clear circles of color shading where the lights are. Right now base building seems worse than ever (stuff still disappears!) Fix normal gameplay problems before adding more time-wasting stuff like settlements. I want to love this game!

P.S. the gross, gridlike pixelated cloud layer above the normal 3D clouds needs to go away

Base out of Range? [Question]

I have found a S and an A gold and silver deposit. I placed a base between them (about 500u from each deposit).

Plan is to turn this into a platinum manufacturing base.

Anyway I had read that you could extend base limit by placing a base item. So I did that, batteries and silos to each deposit. Placed an extractor at each location.

Then I had to go to a space station for more supplies, popped off and did that, added two more extractors on the silver.

Saved the game and headed off. I have come back and when I go to add more extractors it says base out of range for both deposits. What has happened?

I tried adding more random buildings to extend and it hasn't helped

Found a Crashed Exotic! Yay! Forgot to Note Latitude/Longitude! Aargh! [Discussion]

I have over 1000 hours in this game, and I have spent a lot of that time just hunting and finding crashed starships. Couldn't possibly count how many ships I've salvaged. Hundreds, surely.

Last night is the first time I ever found a crashed exotic. I honestly didn't even know for sure that exotics were part of the spawn pool for crash sites until now. I don't really care for exotics most of the time, but the novelty of finding one at a crash site has endeared this one to me. It's a white single-thruster guppy, with a rear spike.

And like an IDIOT, I neglected to note the latitude and longitude. Sigh. I am currently trying to find the site again so I can share it properly on the coordinate exchange.

Do ship types in a system change after reloads? [Question]

Does a starship basic configuration change in a system, between reloads?

For example, I have seen "x-wing" configuration explorers before, but did not note where I found them. Now I want one.

I have been visiting 3-star Korvax systems, and do the grind a bit, but what I notice is, that the ships in the system stick with variations on the same basic structure even through re-loads. So if I want the "x-wing", I have to find a star system where this is already a basic type, and then find the one I want.

Is this experience consistent with how things are supposed to work?

Thanks!

I thought it was the sparking/flames on the ship but even after scrapping it, the stuttering persisted. I can’t find a way to fix it. I’ve tried turning off my ps4, restarting the game, reinstalling the game and nothing works.

Obviously it’s quite infuriating as I’m basically playing a PowerPoint presentation right now and it’s not fun at all. I’ve about 20 hours on my save and it would suck if I had to restart :/

I’m playing on the default settings and FOV with framelock on. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks a lot.

Current most populated NMS system/community? [Question]

I know No Mans Sky isn’t an MMO but it would be cool if there was some planet that has atleast 5-10 players on at one time, everywhere is mainly a wasteland tho unless you come across that one player. Biggest I’ve found so far is galactic hub which is pretty much empty most of the time anyway. Not expecting much just thought worth a ask to see if I’m missing anything.

What to do when trading in your souped-upships (not just found ships) [Question]

Hey All,

I've used the "found ship" trade-in to great effect, getting credits, raw materials and upgrades that you can trade in for nanites.

However, I was thinking of trading in my OG souped up shuttle (decently upgraded thing) since I purchased a 48+8 Hauler in the right form/color.

Does one dismantle the working upgrades and then trade it in, or just trade it in as is? Which approach nets you the most desirable resources (e.g. storage augmentation, etc)

Mineral Extractor? [Question]

I'm building an activated iridium farm, and I found an s class mineral deposit on teh side of a hill. I built a platform to place my extractors on the protrdes form the side of the hill hanging in the air. I started to build my extractors on the platform and that got me wondering of they would still work just suspended in the air. I dont hae my power grid setup, so I cant power them long enough to see if they work, but they do turn on.Will they work? Or do I have to make sure that there is ground under the platforms?

Stuttering after a while [Question]

My game starts stuttering after about 30-40 minutes running, and gets progressively worse. Exiting to main menu and reloading the game seems to fix this, but it has to be done relatively often. Once it is reloaded, it runs perfectly. Is this a known issue? Is there a common fix for it?

Trying to find a better Fighter Ship [Question]

Hi everyone, I'm fairly new to this game. Only been playing for a few days.

I'm loving the game so far, this is just what I needed.

I wanted to ask, where do I find higher class ships? I'm still using the fighter I got when I started playing and its definitely time for an upgrade. Sadly I don't have the 10,000 Nanites to upgrade my current ship and I'm bored of waiting at space stations waiting to see if a higher class fighter ship flies in.

If I heard and read correctly, you can find crashed ships on planets, repair and claim them as your own?

If that's true, is there a way to find them? Would the space cartographer sell anything to help? I have about 80 navigation data chips at my disposal.

Sorry if this is a stupid question but I really need a better fighter ship with more cargo and tech spaces.

short cuts to freighters without space battles [Question]

I've been playing for a long time now and I used to go after the big freighters that you had to battle for. But now I'm more interested in the freighters that pop in / out of systems and was wondering if anyone has any short cuts for getting the S class versions of them?

I found one during a community mission which peeked my interest because until then I did not know you could get it in S class.

I've tried to get on just by save / reload in a wealthy space station and flying out until the freighter pop in but this seems a grindy as rolling for the space battle one's.

Advice anyone

Brother in law and my older sister just started playing and now seem to be hooked. Is it possible to gift them some some twitch drops/expedition rewards on a new save I start? [Question]

I offhandedly mentioned NMS as a game my sister and her husband might enjoy a couple weeks back and now according to my sister my brother in law played for hours at a time over the last couple weekends.

They're new so obviously they missed out on the twitch drops and expedition rewards, is there anyway we can meet up at the anomoly and I can gift them a shiny new ship and multitool that likely beats the pants off anything they have now so they can quit wallowing around with a sucky c class starter ship? Assuming they don't want to grind out on their own of course.

I've never done any multiplayer before so I don't really know how that works.

What keeps you playing? [Discussion]

Greetings, Iam looking for a reason to keep playing.

I bought the game, played for 32 hours and I fell in love with it, I love the game and I wanna keep playing it, but I cannot find like a real goal for me to strife towards in the longer run, I already have Artemis' class A ship as well as the starting freighter.

I really wanna continue playing but I don't see a reason why should I, since the base building seems mostly decorative and, yes I could try getting a class S ship and stuff but that just seems like a long money grind.

So I wonder what kept you guys playing for a long time.

Thanks.

Does this game go on sale often? [Information]

I remember hearing about it back when it released and it looks like a whole new game but I’m still not sure on the 60 dollar price tag as that’s pretty steep for me

How long did it take you guys to find that perfect planet? [Question]

What the title says. I’ve played NMS on and off throughout the years and haven’t really stuck to a single save. I think I’ve only found 1 or 2 paradise planets but not like what I’m seeing on here with blue grass and stuff. I’m just wondering as to how long it could possibly take.

Portal faceplanting [Question]

OK, so, decided I was gonna hunt down one of the super nice ships.

Several guides say it's in Zakish-Decit, and hands out portal coordinates 07f7:0080:0800:00f1

So I finished artemis, find a portal, enter the cords off the converter (having cross checked it with two other converters) and instead of ending up in zd, part of the ewcomachio galaxy, I end up in sudama viii, budullangr.

Have I done something silly, or am being trolled??

Interesting crashed exotic that acquired a new owner [Discussion]

I found a crashed exotic long ago, built a base and returned to it occasionally to pick the ship up again.

After a long time not visiting the site, I returned and found the ship is still there, I still get the choice to take or trade it, but there is a Korvax dude standing on my landing pad tapping on his tablet.

I can trade with him, including the ship which he now appears to own. If I leave him alone eventually he jumps in the ship and flies away. But until then, I am able to just go claim the ship.

I don't know if this is common, I had not seen it before.

Did base hyperdrive ranges change? [Question]

All the info I am finding says explorer ships have a base hyperdrive of 181, however my A-class says (225.8 core). Has it been updated?

I'm looking to get a better ship (since this one is kind of ugly, and I'd like to get a head start on the slot count before upgrading), but I figure I want to get something that's not going to be a step backwards in the hyperdrive department.

Spawning in the same place in Singleplayer and Multiplayer? How to make this happen. [Question]

So I understand that the Singleplayer (SP) and Multiplayer (MP) save locations are different. For my description, I spawn into Star System A in SP and my friend spawns in Star System Z in his SP. When I join my friends game via MP, I will spawn in Star System Z. However when my friend joins my lobby, he will spawn in Star System A.

Now let's assume Star System Z is the better system and we both want to live there full time. How do I make it so that I spawn in Star System Z when I load into a SP game? Imagine my friend isn't online and I want to go to Star System Z in order to expand my base. How do I do this?

I'd imagine you do it by making a base in Star System Z and teleporting to it every time you enter SP. However, there must be a better way. Surely you can make it so that Star System Z is your SP spawn location as well as your MP spawn location?

TLDR: I want to change my SP spawn location to be the same star system that I spawn in when I'm playing with a friend of mine. How do I make my SP spawn the same as my MP spawn?

Please advise

How to Build [Question]

I have just started No Man Sky and I have been struggling to build. Door won’t auto-snap into a sizeable hole, walls having randomly generated textures, etc. I have had to rip up my entire base multiple times in an attempt to build it, so I was wondering if there were any tips?

Can't seem to invite my friend [Question]

I was trying to invite them, but the option doesn't seem to even be available. I suspect it's a version mismatch, but I can't seem to find a way to prove that easily. All our settings are set to let us do multiplayer, but alas, can't even attempt to invite them. It's also been months since I've seen other posts have this issue and figured, surely, that both PC and PS5 would be matching by now, and even then, the last update was in early December. Are we doing something wrong or is the version mismatch just taking that long to fix?

New player here, overwhelmed with everything [Information]

Hello r/nomansskythegame

Back in 2016, I rode the hype train as much as the next guy, but haven't bought it. After the disastrous release, I forgot about it. I noticed the updates and patches but I wasn't enough to catch my interest.

Back to 2022. The game is now 6 years old and in version 3.75. Wow. I bought the game a few days ago. Normally, I try to avoid heavily patched game for a reason, and exactly that reason occured. It's. So. Damn. Much.

I like the game, very much in fact. But I'm overwhelmed with all the possibilities.

Base building, starships, freighters, mining tools, pistols, inventories, technologies, upgrades, space stations, exocrafts, so many interesting worlds, three different currencies (I first thought they included an in-game shop), missions, languages, relations, trading, economies, conflicts, points of interest, scanning, sentinels, I don't know what half the shops in the space stations do, I don't know what to buy first, what to explore, what to build, I simply don't know where to spend my time. It's. So. Much.

So currently I'm at the end of the first mission, just after the first hyperdrive jump. I've constructed my first base, earned enough money to buy a second starship and unlocked the mission "Base computer archives." So far so good. Now what?

Is there some point in the story missions where you can say "okay great that's it, I can start exploring now?" What should I prioritize? What to do first? Why does the galaxy map look so linear? I've got a million questions and the wiki isn't helping.

So what is your guideline when playing a new game? Any priorities? Things too good to miss out? Very fun mechanics, worlds, anything? Any help appreciated.

Odds of finding a normal animal? [Discussion]

I've had this conversation with Mt friends a few times and sometimes it turns into an argument about how the game works or whatever. But what are the odds of finding just a straight up tiger, or just any normal animal without a third head or something. I'm sure you can find a monkey with q rat head or a lizard tail but is it even possible to find an animal randomized into a normal creature you could find in our real life earth?

Can Starships "Level up"? [Question]

Title says it all. When I bought my A Class fighter It had about 2/3rds of its inventory slot available and it was missing 2 or 3 tech slots.

It just now dawned on me that I am only missing 2 general inventory slots, and my tech slots are all available.

I have not upgraded my ship once.

Is this a feature I was previously not aware of?

I want to love this game like you guys seem to. [Question]

Hey folks, so I've played about 45 hours in this game over perhaps three different installations. I want to love it and I see all the potential but then after a few sessions I put it down and loose interest. Now my two brother in laws have it too and they're loving it so I'd like to get into it again and so I thought I'd ask this sub for your tips on getting the most out of this game. I'm looking for anything from tips about game mechanics to places to go and things to do. Some info you might find helpful is that I have vr (I'm currently playing on a flat screen), I have no real base other than the basics to progress the campaign of which I've done the starting missions of but as of yet I've bought no new ships or anything much else for that matter. I'm also wondering if I should I mod the game. Cheers in advance for the help (if I get any)

Is there any ETA on when the horrible stuttering that some us experience will finally get fixed? [Question]

I try this game out every 6 months or so. I have 150hrs played because I love it so much. But I can't play because of this experience. It's been an issue (that keeps getting worse) for some of us since the launch of the game. And other than the ini edits that were published way back when, as well as some community made suggestions, no effort has seemingly been made to fix this. It's a huge shame.

I love this game. I want to play it. But the stutter gets worse every patch. Does anyone know if this will ever get properly addressed? Or should I just give up trying to play this otherwise phenomenal game?

Before anyone says; This has been on multiple hardware setups, configurations and clean installs of different variations of windows. It is not a hardware issue, but an issue with the game. I also run other Vulkan games flawlessly.

What exactly happens when I go to the center of the galaxy? [Question]

Hey guys, I’m fairly new to this game been playing it for let’s say two weeks and I’m basically finishing up the story. I am at the part where it tells me to go to the center of the galaxy for the center of the glitch and I’m kinda worried about what I’ll lose. See I have a void egg on me and I really don’t want to lose that, I’ve been hearing one thing and another. Some says I won’t lose my stuff and some say I’ll basically restart. So am I going to lose anything and if so, Is there any place you recommend me putting my void egg at for safety?

Bonus question what about my pets?
