Why does everything have to BUZZZ!? [Question]

I suffer from Misophonia i think (certain sounds trigger an emotional response) because man this game makes the most annoying buzzing noises... i was building a base and i could here this buzzing noise... turns out it was the street lamps so i had to delete like 10 of them... why make such annoying noises. This game has sooo many. Drove me crazy.

animal byproducts from companions [Suggestion]

I feel like it's a little odd we can't harvest byproducts from our own companions (milk, eggs, berries, ect) Wouldn't mind seeing this on the next update maybe storage slots for them as well

A better trade concept [Discussion]

Way too often people seem to give out random junk in the anomaly, cluttering peoples inventory. I have an idea that would fix it. It would make dupers life harder and prevent unwanted inventory clutter.

First off, for those who prefer the current method of trade there could be "Allow Random Drops" option in the network settings that you can toggle.

But for those who keep it off they would receive a little pop-up on their HUD somewhere that someone wants to trade. They could choose to accept or decline it or plain right ignore altogether. See example below.

Trade Invite Notification

Once the trade has been accepted it would open a trade menu where the person can put up their offered items and you can offer something back. Then both users can hit accept and receive the items.

Trade window concept

PS5 completely shuts down during Expeditions. [Bug]

So my brother is trying to do the expedition and his PS5 keeps shutting down completely after like 20 minutes, so I joined him to try and help him complete the objectives faster and my PS5 shuts down too. PlayStation's support page said to reinstall it which didn't help. Has anyone else experienced this? This only happens when playing PS5 No Man's Sky.

Can I move my base computer without any problems? [Question]

Or will it destroy the base?

Also, how can I get my ship to land at the pad next to my teleporter at the top of my building if I have 5 other landing pads below? Seems to automatically land on the first pad I even built... Maybe it has something to do with that?

Hi Traveller, I need help!! [Question]

I recently somehow lost my ship and in the process lost my hacked brain that I need to present to the Voice of the Atlas. I can't restart the mission so I'm completely stuck. I've tried going back to Tethys and that didn't work.

Question on NMS Mods and Cross-Platform Play [Question]

Hi folks, I have a question about NMS mods and cross-platform play that I wasn't able to find a clear answer for.

99% of my NMS time to date has been vanilla/unmodded on the Xbox. It's great, with two small exceptions:

  1. I find myself desperate for easy help arranging my mineral extractors, silos, etc. neatly. I'm aware of wire glitching, but I haven't had the mental bandwidth to try to figure it out.

  2. Photo mode is my favorite thing about NMS, but I hate that it's a hassle to open when I'm trying to take exciting photos of my ship in combat, etc.

I've started playing NMS on a Windows machine, where it's easy to assign a quick key to photo mode. Problem 2 solved.

Problem 1 (neat base building) looks like it could be solved by installing the "Snappy Industry" mod available here.

Will I break anything with my ability to play my Xbox saves if I use this mod to build clean bases on my Windows machine? I'd hate to lose Xbox access to my 300 hour main save and a 30 hour permadeath save because I was too lazy to figure out glitch building and used a mod shortcut instead.

(I don't know if it makes a difference, but I have no interest in experimenting with any of the other mods out there. I'd expect and hope that a mod that made crafting free, let one stack unlimited quantities of everything, and ensured that all ships and multitools spawn exclusively as S Class would break a permadeath save. I don't consider the addition of snapping points to industrial blueprints to be cheating, on the other hand.)

TL;DR: Will using a mod on my Windows machine break my saves when I try to access them later via my Xbox?

Cracked eggs to Loving Ships? [Question]

So I'm not exactly sure how this happened, but I seem to have the components to acquire four living ships? In my inventory I have four Cracking Void Eggs, four Mature Neural Systems, four Mature Heart Nodes, four Hardened Shells, and four Singularity Cores. (I also have one Impossible Membrane.)

I know there are ways to get multiple Living Ships, but how would I go about it when most of the work has already been done?

Remembering the Space Station Location [Question]

I'm trying to get my way to the core of Euclid, but I still go back and forth between where I've warped, or taken black holes, and back to the regular locations where my base and settlements are.

multiplayer [Question]

How does it work? If a friend of mine joined now - could I help him out with the initial story missions? Or does he has to complete them all before we can team up? Do you have to travel the universe to find one another, or do you spawn close once you join somebodys session? Is there VOIP? Any pros and cons to multiplayer?

Huge Problem [Question]

I am noticing all over the universe that many players are finding and claiming settlements on ideal earth-like planets. Many players have even managed to find several settlements on a community planet.

I am aware of numerous methods for finding a new settlement on any planet a player desires. I have been trying to find a settlement on said type of planet for almost an entire consecutive week now. It is now beyond intolerable.

No matter how many times I reload, jump systems, teleport, walk a distance, reload again, you name it I can’t succeed. I can’t find a settlement on a planet I would prefer. Countless others have so WTF?

At this point I’m hoping I am just doing something wrong because if not then I’m done and over with this ridiculous dice-roll-loop-of-insanity that seems to be a recurring staple in this potentially epic game.

Will someone please help me achieve what so many others have. Help me find a solution to this borderline neurotic behavior of trying over and over again only to fail again and again. There must be a solution.

Just started the game. Some questions. [Question]

Was at an ancient ruins site. Collected two keys and sentinels came attacking. Lost the site while in the process of fighting them and being chased. Now what do I do with the two keys? Should I sell them? Is there any way to find the site again?

Might be a long shot, but does anyone have coordinates for Punutsv R41 in the Imitte-Dazaw system? [Question]

It's in Euclid, discovered by DoubleDashGaming.

I went there a few weeks ago for a community mission and loved it, but mistakenly didn't save the coordinates. Last couple days I flew 50,000ly chasing the coordinates, jump after jump after jump- but with no end in sight.

It'd be amazing if anyone had this one saved. Thanks regardless!

Possible to remap DISCARD button on Valve Index Controller? [Question]

Currently to discard an item from inventory, I have to hold down the right thumbstick. Often I accidently make it go left or right thus switching inventories before the discard action is complete.

Has anyone figured out how to chance that binding? I tried editing bindings in SteamVR but I can't find one for discard.

Thanks!

I hate that NMS pauses when tabbed out... [Discussion]

I hate that NMS pauses when tabbed out...

When flying to a planet, or during processing times, sitting in base stations waiting for ships, or whatever, the fact that it pauses when the game doesn't have focus is 100% effed up.

But if in a system with another player, then it never pauses. So, ...

... that means it was a CHOICE by the DEVs or designers to pause when tabbed out.

Again, 100% BS!

Anyone know how to fix crashes on nms Xbox? I know the game is poorly optimized in general but it's gone from every few hours to every 5 mins. [Question]

Booting the game up, I csn maybe do five ten mins before the gsme hard stutters then crashes to the Xbox menu. I'm having to play like I'm on a damn timer and that's just not ok. I know saying anything bad about NMS is like a death sentence here but I need help because if I can't even play that long and this is likely not gonna be fixed by the devs based on qol and bug fixing history with hello games, idk if I'm gonna even be able to play anymore. Also because I've heared this before no it's not just the game being cannonicslly broken bc the atlas is dying, that is the dumbest excuse I've ever heared. If you haven't heared thst one trust me it's a prominent excuse to defend bugs in nms... why idk. I like this game but if I'm lowering the bar so low I'm basically walking over it that's a red flag. If I can't get this game to run better than five ten mins before it just dies I can't play anymore.

Quick Questions about the end of the Expedition [Question]

Having finished the exobiology expedition, the save file still appears as a non-normal expedition save file. I am assuming that will change when the expedition period ends, correct? Some of my bases are built in the rendezvous systems. So in parenthesis under the base names in the teleporter list, they say "(rendezvous 5)" or which ever one. Will that disappear when the expedition ends? Can I go back and do expedition #1? Or any of the previous ones? I just started playing NMS.

TIA, Interlopers!

Didn't Children of Helios originally say stuff? [Question]

I picked the game up after a while and have been farming for anomaly detectors.

Best way to light up a timber/stone/alloy structure? [Question]

What the title says, basically. I've been playing the game for quite some time and I'm at a point where just building nice houses is really entertaining. Thing is I exclusively use the prefabs because they're well lit when powered and I cannot figure out how to get good lighting in non-prefab buildings.

Building with prefabs has gotten boring to me at this point so any tips on lighting would be appreciated.

Ship scanner cosmetic differences? [Question]

Hello all

Newer player here.

I've watched a bunch of video clips recently and I've noticed that some clips feature ships that have a blue ball scanner. My ships all have an orange half-ball.

Is this blue scanner an upgrade, unique to a type of ship or something that was changed out in a game update?

I really like the look of the blue scanner and I was wondering how/if it was available.

Thank you in advance!

Somebody stuck in the space-station entrance? [Discussion]

There seems to be a ship stuck in the entrance to the space-station at Loemfor Cycler, Exo-biology expedition rendezvous 4. I've never seen that happen before, although I've certainly had problems sometimes actually entering a space-station, for no apparent reason. Anybody know what happened?

Ive thought since starting to play this game that you learning all the different words from each species was never going to happen because i know most of the words from the gek. sometimes i read a sentence and it would have all the words learned and then next few i swear it would be the same sentence but a few words will be in the alien speech...

Does anyone else not like that it's a simulation? [Discussion]

After 80 hours I finally jumped into the story and kind of don't like it. Definitely the weakest part of the otherwise truly amazing game. But also I feel like it defeats the point. The concept being explore the universe was kind of the fun part and this makes it much less immersive imo.

It's a fantasy game and so I like being immersed in a fantasy world to forget about the real world and stress. I felt like it was me being told you're not really exploring a universe you're in a video game and breaking my head fantasy haha. I know my head cannon can be whatever, I guess investing so much time makes me feel different. It's an amazing game. I was just wondering if anyone else felt the same?

Terraforming Planets [Suggestion]

You would first fly straight up from the planet and then summon the Space Anomaly so the hanger entrance faces the airless planet (a raycast hit from here couod determine the targeted planet for attempted terraforming) Using the control panel aboard the Space Anomaly, and an ample amount of resources you could terraform your targeted airless planet (perhaps an added bonus could apply to terraforming catastrophes) Upon initialization the Space Anomaly would emit a really cool looking deathstar beam at the planet for a solid 30 seconds (the planet would need to be evacuated of all players and the Anomaly would not be summonable or accessible from the outside in that system by another player for that duration) after which the planet will have been terraformed successfully. Perhaps this is indicated by a 24hr waiting period in which the planet is covered with magma and volcanos with the color indicating which planet type you have created, but that's a bit much maybe So as to not require remodeling to the nexus players would have to stand clear (exosuit guidance message) of the terminal as the beam would come from the large door in the blueprint room, going straight through the port holes to the starship entrance. The beam would fire from through there and become more intense as it passes through the guiding rings of the main entrance To fit more in line with Hello Games push for community efforts, the resources required for such a feat may exceed what one person could obtain In a reasonable amount of time. While not as cool, I had also gotten to thinking perhaps instead of a beam it was two mega structures that are build on both poles, terraforming catastrophe planets will have these pre-built and will only require resources.

Thank you for reading to completion (:

Do you ACTUALLY get to see other player's animal names? [Question]

I've been playing on Xbox One for years now, and I have never seen an animal, plant or mineral named by another player.

I've been to countless planets discovered by other players, and they have names that are obviously not randomly generated (memes, sci-fi show references etc) but still... I've never seen anything else with a player generated name... Even on the expeditions, where you'd expect pretty much everything on the starting planets to have been discovered as there is a fairly steady stream of players through there, apparently no one has named anything, or even scanned it before?

So, what's the deal? How exactly DOES the discovery system work right now? I've googled but with the game being 5 years old, and with a lot of people "guessing" rather than knowing, I can't find out for certain.

Have you EVER seen an animal named by another player who isn't in a multiplayer game with you right now?

My void egg quest is broken? [Question]

So I started my void egg a long time ago, but once I got to the part where you travel to the specific place via portal, I left it in one of my ships and sort of forgot about it. After a lot of warping, ship trading (I still have the ship it was in) and other things, I entered the ship it was in (I haven’t entered it since I left the egg there) and saw it. Surprised I had forgot about it, I grabbed it, went to my main ship, warped to my portal base, and used the portal to go to where it told me. When I arrived, nothing happened, so I checked my log. When I looked, the entire starbirth quest was missing. Is there any way to get the quest back? Or restart entirely (I would be fine with that).

Going back to where i spawned ? [Question]

First time playing . I spawned somewhere in Canada and quickly found a really cool ship ( not the basic one ) but I left the planet in the small ship to follow a signal . Now the planet with the signal was a literal oven with giant bugs everywhere. Not that I hate bugs but I really liked that ice planet and I want that ship . I figured out how to go back there but there are no markers as to where my spawn point was . I’m pretty sure I got into some sort of cutscene giving me an aerial view of the region I spawned in before I left . Isn’t that giving me a waypoint ?

Official Galactic Hub Statement Regarding Hello Games' Inaction on Base Trolls & Griefers (Signed by all leaders of canonized civilizations) [Discussion]

TL;DR - Hello Games has given no protection, or ability to protect themselves, to communities which they have canonized and recognized. As a result, a neonazi troll is griefing bases in the Galactic Hub, and there's nothing we can do. Every single leader of a canonized civilization agrees that Hello Games has failed civilized space with their inaction. The "Report Base" function returns a 500 Error meaning Hello Games has never seen a single one of those reports, and the in-game "Block" function just doesn't work at all.

Greetings travelers,

Recently there have been a number of posts relaying experiences people have had in Galactic Hub space, particularly the capital planet, where they've encountered a neonazi base-building griefer / troll. This is one example I have saved, but I've seen other, similar threads as well that I didn't save.

For those who are not familiar, to greatly oversimplify it, the Galactic Hub is an 11-region area of space where players build and play together.

Normally, Galactic Hub staff maintains an official policy of "active non-engagement" - that is, we believe the best way to deal with trolls is like starving them of attention, positive or negative, just like you'd starve a fire of oxygen to put it out. However, there have been so many posts about this particular neonazi troll that I felt I should address this situation specifically, and address the situation with trolls and base griefers in the Galactic Hub in general.

First, I'm proud to be able to say that we take every possible countermeasure against these trolls, and implement new countermeasures when needed. We are incredibly effective at limiting their reach; when...

Possible discrepancies in Total Play Time [Bug]

I've been working through a challenge that I've made for myself and I've been noticing possible discrepancies in the Total Play Time that is shown in the saved game bars. I did a test today and it doesn't seem like what is displayed for TPT in-game is accurate.

I had four sessions in the same save and below are my results. I started a new game, then, when I stopped, I quit to Mode Select and then clicked "Play Game" to see what it showed for my TPT. I've noted what time my pc shows in the task bar when I start and quit a game and then compared the two-

(start) 8:00 am

(end) 8:44 am - 38 minutes , according to NMS save Total Play Time (44 minutes this session)

(start) 9:02 am

(end) 10:29 am - 1:39 minutes, according to NMS save Total Play Time (1:27 this session, 2:11 total)

(start) 1:05 pm

(end) 2:25 pm - 2:44 minutes (1:20 this session, 3:31 total)

(start) 2:43

3:54 - 3:45 minutes (1:11 this session 4:42 real) (we're now at almost an hour difference)

Anybody else notice anything like this? I wonder if it might have to do with my setup - I stream from a gaming system to a surface pro laptop. The performance of said setup is quite variable.

Generosity at the Anomaly...and a thank you. [Suggestion]

I don't know if they're a member of this group but I need to send out a huge thank you to player Miss_Megan. I've been playing for only a short time so far (125ish hours) and have been dutifully collecting units all along the way. I was up to about 90 million.

Today at the anomaly I stopped to look at someone's live ship and they came up to get in their ship. They waved, I waved, then they gave me 25 of those AI things. I now have over one billion units. I'll admit to disbelief and then getting a bit misty eyed. What an amazing gesture!!

Now the planet with the signal was a literal oven with giant bugs everywhere. Not that I hate bugs but I really liked that ice planet and I want that ship . I figured out how to go back there but there are no markers as to where my spawn point was . I’m pretty sure I got into some sort of cutscene giving me an aerial view of the region I spawned in before I left . Isn’t that giving me a waypoint ?

Anyone knows a good FPS Warp mod? :D [Question]

I love this game from the beginning it was released, but these kind of things are killing me. Why change something from a default option to another default when you could have the ability to make it an optionally choosable opportunity for your customers? And then they can choose wether they wan't the warping to happen in first person or in third person. So yea, anyone knows a good mod for warp in fps view? :D

Will I fail Expedition 5 thanks to Enduring Friendship? [Question]

I only started this a few days ago, and have almost finished all of the other tasks.

The egg I hatched and my two other pets are at 75 75 and 65, and from what I have read it is only possible to raise these 5% a day.

Is there anyway I can save this or am I guaranteed to fail now?

An odd question I have about Multi tools. [Question]

So according to the nms wiki, Alien tools are best for dmg, Pistols are best for mining, and Experimental is best for scans. The thing is however you can have an experimental of every weapon type being rifle, smg and pistol. Alien guns come as rifle and pistol too ( or maybe it's small and pistol ). What happens if you have an alien pistol or an experimental rifle? Are they good at both things or just one or what?

Also maybe I'm wrong and it's just rifle and pistol but the body variation makes me think the game has three types.

Help me out here if you can please. Helps me and others finding this too. I have a few guns rn ( er multitools ) I wanna mod but I don't wanna do em wrong.

I keep meeting people - Yuck [Question]

I was wondering if there is a way to jump to a random spot in the galaxy.

I am surprised that I keep running into places where other people have been already. Not sure if they gave up on the whole "stupendously unlikely to meet people" but I keep doing it.

Just finished the Expedition 5 and was thinking I would like to try and just go some random location and even see if it is possible to avoid people, or if the game will keep trying to place you near each other. (of course expeditions are different since everyone starts/spawns in the same area) but i mean just in normal random game play.

It’s been 11 months since… [Question]

I last touched this game. That is what was said when I booted up the game today. I played for an hour (got about 15 hours in game time) today to get my bearings in order.

What should I do first based on the stream of updates that this game has received? I remember seeing quite a big changes in the last couple of months.

Any recommendations on where to best start again apart from following the main quest? I currently have about 7 million credits (in game currency).

Thank you.

Analysis: how likely is it that a randomly selected sequence of glyphs will put me in a region someone has discovered before? [Information]

TLDR: under reasonably conservative assumptions, the probability of randomly picking a previously undiscovered region in Euclid by entering a truly random set of glyphs into a portal is 60.7% (or greater, with less conservative assumptions).

The probability of randomly picking a previously undiscovered system by the same method is 99.8% (or greater).

Details:

I keep seeing people ask about the probability of encountering other players in Euclid or wherever, and there seem to be very broadly varying ideas of how likely that is, so I thought I'd present a simple model. Like any model, it makes certain assumptions about things we don't know - in this case, how many players there have been and how many times they have traveled between systems on average. Also it assumes uniform probability of destination selection, which we know isn't the case in typical gameplay - players tend to group around expedition paths for example. So this doesn't apply to e.g. the places other players cluster - only to randomly chosen places in the galaxy as a whole.

So, I'll pose the question this way: If I choose a sequence of 12 glyphs at random (and it has to be really random, so flip a coin 48 times or something like that), and portal to that address in Euclid, what are the odds that I land in a previously undiscovered region?

Okay, here's the model:

n = number of regions in Euclid = 2^32 according to the Wiki

u = number of players throughout history of the game

w = mean number of (random with uniform probability) jumps each user has done

So I claim: once I have arrived in this randomly-picked region, then the probability that another player has randomly picked the same region is 1/2^32.

Thus the probability that that other player picks some other region is 1 - (1/2^32)....

Why Hellogames should add anti air and anti tank weapons [Discussion]

The Sentinels. Why when updating a repetitive NPC to be less repetitive but also stronger as well... Why not add better weapons to deal with them?

AA to take down sentinels. AT to take down sentinel vehicles.

And maybe something that protects the player too. Like a base mounted automated turret

Sentinels btw can get into your buildings and you are free to kill them. In your base their ai gets completely confused and they dont fight back.

But we need stronger weapons. For casual gamer use. Casuals that dont go meta and grab experimentals and trust the NPC with a different multi tool and get scammed in the process.

NoMansSkyBuyNothing [Discussion]

I enjoy hearing different ways people play this game, thought I'd share one myself. I call this NoMansSkyBuyNothing after the many subreddits that exist within metropolitan areas for people to donate/trade/receive items without spending cash.

I don't allow myself to spend units or nanites. I allow myself to trade navigational data for maps and salvaged data for blueprints.

Things I don't do in game now: Hunt for starships on space stations or trading posts Land on every freighter looking for an S class Refine anything just for money Crash local economies Recruit frigates and send out teams of frigates on missions (wish there was a way to earn frigates outside of buying them!) Scan animals or plants - I still scan minerals at the early stages to harvest the secondary mineral

Things I do much more now: Harvest/mine the basics Dig up buried caches and damaged machinery to find upgrade modules Scour for emergency beacons to find crashed starships (and the more elusive multi-tool) to harvest upgrades and storage augmentations Look for ancient navigational artifacts hoping for drop pod coordinates Raid manufacturing sites Follow the story to get blueprints and other perks Use the Nautilon scanner to find sunken crashed starships Learn the language for better chances of getting upgrades in conversation

Do Switches Reset? [Question]

I built a base with a simple locking mechanism on a vault door. I put an emergency open switch on the inside of the vault that will override the lock, but I'm not worried about that. I'm worried about the other switch I placed that will lock the door from the inside, overriding both the lock and the emergency switch. I placed this lock far away so someone can't just activate it and leave really quick, but if switches reset to an 'on' state at some point I'll have to use an inverter for that switch. On the other hand, if switches reset to 'off', then I can't use an inverter.

I already tried leaving the system and exiting the game to see if that would do it, and the switches didn't reset. But if the servers reset and the switch state isn't saved, I need to compensate for that.

Atlas path question. [SPOILER] [Question]

I realize there's a post about this, but it's 2+ years old, and there are questions that weren't asked, so here I am. I understand that if we reset, we keep our current ship, and everything NOT in the Technology slots will be damaged, correct? is it damaged forever, or can be fixed? Is this for both spaceship and exosuit? Is it only the current space ship that goes with us? if not, I assume I wanna scrap the other ships for $ before resetting. If I have base(s) in Euclid, will I be able to teleport to them from the new galaxy? basically, teleport back and forth between the new galaxy and Euclid. Or will I lose all my bases and materials I have stored in containers If we select, say, a Lush galaxy - will there be no frozen or scorching worlds? or just most worlds will be "peaceful". Why reset and switch galaxies? more missions? unseen creatures / life forms? It's sounding like resetting the simulation, will toss you into a new galaxy where you almost start from 0 (keeping spaceship, multi tool). What is the real benefit of starting anew, basically?\

Unplayable laggy after warping [Bug]

So, lets say I have 3 Shield Upgrades in my main inventory, and 3 more in my technology slots (all 6 installed), will all 6 of them stack their bonuses, or does 1 set of 3 take priority over the other set?

I mean, I get the "3 and done" limit to prevent becoming godly, but this seems like a bit of an oversight.. or something.. being able to get 6. Am I seeing this right?

"Not enough Copper" [Suggestion]

Something I've been doing lately is "Permadeath Expeditions", where I pretend the starting ship is actually wrecked beyond repair, and take off across the planet with the intention of collecting resources/money so I can buy another one, without the benefits of the "Anomaly Advantages" like the Terrain Manipulator and other rewards from the Starting quest.

It's something that can take 1,2, or 10 hours depending on the planet, and is a challenging expedition of sorts. You can't get the recipes like the Antimatter Housing (for suit expansion--very much needed in Permadeath's 250 limit) and have to search for places to buy them, and lots of other fun grind. I usually have the goal of making through a Portal. My best time is 1h45m, but usually takes about 3 hours.

A show-stopper however is the supply of Copper can be iffy. If you're lucky, after gaining a spaceship you can fly to a planet where the stalagmites/stalactites have it as a secondary element. /Very/ rarely it's available from a Minor Settlement on a lucky planet. Several times now though, it's been impossible to source without the Terrian Manipulator, and the other portal-recharging Stellar elements are also unobtainium.

I'd like to suggest that Stellar Metals be included as drops from mining, at least with the Advanced Laser upgrade-- perhaps with the Geode.. Another idea is to making Copper drop during Space dogfights, like Chromatic Metal already is.

Looks like I'm SOL [Discussion]

Managed to get on the expedition train about a week, if not a little less, before the expedition ended and got every milestone thus far...except the pet trust. Now I'm 2 days away from the end and I'm stuck with a pet that has 80% and I won't be able to finish the final milestone. Kinda bummed out I will be missing it. It's my first time not being able to complete one of the expeditions

New save expedition says 17 hours - existing save expedition says 2 days? [Question]

Just wondering if I have the 2 days like the save says, or if it will be over in 17 hours (which is what the amount of time left when you go to create a new expedition save).

I'm running short on time and hoping I have the weekend to complete it. If I run out of time, can I somehow adjust my console time/ do anything else to extend the time available to complete it? I'm on Xbox.

I know I left it until very late, but any help would be appreciated. I'd prefer finish it for the exclusive rewards, as I've managed to complete the others so far. Thanks!

Expeditions and gave saves [Question]

I haven't been playing no man's sky in a while. Last Expedition got me back into the game. I forgot how great it is. The Expedition started me out an S-Class Explorer. Did everyone start with an S class ship when they started Expedition? Anyway, my question is- can I use my Expedition save as a totally new game to get to the center of the Galaxy and Beyond? If so, are there any disadvantages to it.

Companion's trust [Question]

Hello,

I am doing expedition 5, and the only remaining mission for me is to get 100% trust of companion.

Thing is i read that your starting companion starts with 95%, but i got rid of him, to have space for his baby. I have read that you can get 5% trust in each real life day, by rasing your companions happiness and starve meters to the top, it worked up until i reached 90%, but now, two days passed (it is now third after last time i went up) and it does not rise for non of 4 companions i have, as there are only two days left for expedition i am starting to panic? how can i complete the mission?

First Traveler bug (slightly different from other reports I’ve seen) [Bug]

There’s a bug with The First Traveler mission when coordinates are given to the crashed freighter. I go to the marker but the game never acknowledges that I’ve arrived. I’ve obtained all the log keys from the crashed freighter, but still the game tells me to go to the approximate location of the crash. I’ve tried restarting the game, tried finding another crashed freighter, even tried using a black hole and restarting the quest (twice), nothing works. I’ve got like eighteen log keys in my inventory and they’re useless.

No Scan Rewards mod? And other difficulty mods [Discussion]

Hello! I will keep this as short as possible and hopefully it's alright to post here! If not, let me know :)

I'm looking to spice up the difficulty of the game. I already have several mods that increase it in terms of damage (DUD's Sky is amazing! Pirates are genuinely terrifying early, thank god for NPC ships coming to the rescue!) and visuals (testing out The Traveller). My main concern now is related to the economy - currently, it is waaaay too easy to gain a buttload of units just by scanning. And I've imposed a rule to not purchase any scanner upgrades but the money still adds up (I really like scanning, ok!). Are there any mods that turn that reward to 0? To be clear, I am not talking about the nanite one. That's easily avoided. I'm referring to the units gained for each mineral, fauna and flora specimen scanned.

Please let me know if you know anything that helps with this! Or just any other mods that increase difficulty or affect the economy (making large hauler trades and farming more necessary). Thanks in advance!

(Other neat little self-imposed rules that make the game more difficult are also welcomed <3)

Trading freighters and the storage units [Question]

I had a fantastic glitch that last a day. it was the best of times, it was the worst of times! [Bug]

My refiners were glitching out and every time I opened one, the refined product would reappear in the (not sure if the right word) "end product slot" So basically they became magic boxes duplicating my (get this) runaway mould! I got up to about 200,000 nanites before it straightened itself out. I've never used screenshots or game clips but I tried my best. I'll link it in the comments if anyone is interested. The main reason for the post is that I was wondering if there is a way to cause this or if anyone else had this issue. It was great but I felt obligated to jump on it and use the short time I had to play simply grinding in my freighter. I think I was secretly happy when it ended.

This game needs a TRUE survival mode for those that want a grindier-harder game [Suggestion]

.-one were

.-shelters in a planet are a blessing because planets hazard environments are super strong (even at the beginning)

.- resources are scarce and most of them NOT buyable and need to be farmed

.- credits are hard to exploit and obtain. and selling items should made sense.

(why npc buy cobalt (example) at a great price when its super easy to obtain is beyond me!

.- BP, MT, Ships, that you buy start at C and you have to upgrade them to S (if you want to)

.- everything has to be discovered instead of buying those maps from space stations.

.- the crafting recipes cant be bought and you have to find them.

ETC

i know this type of mode is not for everyone but i imagine some people (not many but some) could enjoy this type of mode.

Not the first time to be posted, but i found myself atop a station [Bug]

Left a planet, spawned my freighter after a fair distance (enough as i usually do, at least), then glitched into....something. Started throwing my screen every which way as i was taking damage, stuck inside, unable to pulse because my freighter has just got in (i'd have recorded it if i knew how).

I decided to let that run its course (die), then found myself atop the local station

man you really do look small compared to stations. puts 'units' as a distance into perspective

fortunately my last save wasn't too long prior to this, so i did what OP did on a similar post a few days ago and took my screenshot and reloaded (as i also couldn't do anything up here, such as building a base)

Why is this game so cryptic? [Discussion]

I really wish that the makers of NMS would lay off a bit on all the cryptic messaging. It could definitely enhance the game if it was used a lot more sparingly, but it's overuse really makes it feel pointless and therefore, frustrating to dissect. I really don't like working hard to travel very far to get to an end goal and all I get is some machine telling me something that makes no sense. It would take just as much work to replace all of that with an engaging story. Does anyone else agree with me on this?

Revisited (3.75) runs smoother / better than Sentinel (3.84) [Discussion]

I currently have both versions installed on my PC (GOG Offline Version) and after playing both versions a couple of hours yesterday I can say that Revisited (3.75) runs better / smoother than 3.84 (Sentinel).

Someone else, too?

Actually its the loading of the terrain that takes longer (same settings in both versions btw.).

If I run around or turn around fast, I see much more often the terrain reloading / reshaping than I did in Revisited Version.

Also I have fps drops about every 2-5 minutes down to 10-20 fps. I don't have these with Revisited.

With my post I would like to gather experiences to (maybe) help the developers and also share my experience to others.

Teleport to a base then discover planet? [Bug]

Just my thoughts

Fix the damn Settlement Charts [Bug]

I feel like I'm actually losing my mind.I have been playing No Man's Sky for several years now, and got over 400 hours, but the thing that's supposed to be one of my favorite things about games for me and got me so hyped, is beating me down and made me quit the game twice now.

I have been searching for a planet with the characteristics that I am looking for, for far beyond 25 hours over the course of my career.

After the settlement update last september, I probably spent another 5-7 hours just scanning for potential home planets for me and my settlement.Third lush planet that is a perfect candid, a combined temporal effort of !10! hours of doing nothing but ATTEMPTING to get a settlement chart to point to a settlement on a planet I want to settle on.But instead of being an effort of 10 seconds and clicking and using an item in this game that is not doing the job it's supposed to, I've wasted hours upon hours on nothing.

I've literally tried EVERY method of acquiring a settlement on a potential home planet.I've flown on the planet I want the settlement on for even more hours to maybe reveal a settlement and get the settlement to register and get pointed at by a chart. Nothing.

I've put down a base and/or save beacon on my planet so I could see them from space or other planets, and flown to other planets, just so that the charts could point to 5 other settlements, of which non were on my planet of course. Multiple times.

I've exhausted almost every other settlement in the system, yet no settlement is being hinted at on my planet.

Beyond and between the endless amounts of my charts being literally just swallowed, getting hit with interferences and swallow combos in short succession of 5 charts vaporizing, and me having to consistently reload, hop to another spot, reload, reload, hop and even when you have 1 chart out of 10 pointing to a settlement, it's STILL pointing...

Can't see what my friend has named things? [Question]

Me and a friend are new to the game, playing a multiplayer session in a group, and found out about naming discoveries while we were playing last night but we can't seem to see what each other has named things.

I can see that they discovered certain things first and they said they named and uploaded them and then uploaded all of their planet info. They were also connected to the discovery network but I never see the new names even after restarting the game. The same applies to them for things I've named.

OK, I admit it. I have a problem.... [Question]

Hello, my name is "___" and I have a problem: It's hard for me to not plop down a full-on base every time I find a nice S-Class AI deposit. OK, ok, ok! i admit it. I do that for C-Class deposits too since now it really doesn't matter what the class is since they added that limitation on throughput.

I have been working to limit myself to just S-Class deposits on tropical-ish planets. I found an S-Class deposit on a gorgeous planet in the galactic center, just about 30 units out from shore over a beautiful blue ocean. Sure, there's the occasional heat storm, but it's not often enough to detract.

But here's my question... I can't for the life of me find an EM hotspot anywhere near it. Well... I didn't try out to sea. But on the island itself, there's no EM hotspot. Is that normal?

When does the current expedition end? [Question]

When I go to load a save it says that there are two days left. When I start a new save it says 4 hours left (as of a few minutes ago). So when does this thing end exactly???

I had to start over with a new save because I didn’t get a starter companion when I began my original save a few days ago. Didn’t know that was even an option. Apparently the chance starter companion has 95% trust from the get go. I was at just 75% trust on my original save and there’s no way I could reach 100% in 2 days if there’s a 5% cap per real life 24 hours. I was just about wrapped up with the expedition when I realized this. There’s no point in even trying if the whole thing ends in a few hours though…

How long do Expeditions last? Or, rather, how long after an Expedition has ended is it still playable? And when does the next Expedition being? [Question]

Sorry if that sounds confusing. I came back a couple days ago and saw that Expeditions were massively overhauled and now its own whole game mode, which is reverted to a normal file after the end of the expedition.

I saw that the current expedition was going to end today, so I messed around with it a bit but didn't want to invest too much time knowing that it was going to end soon and I likely wouldn't have enough time to get any rewards.

Lo and behold, the game says the expedition ended but I can still play it. I played enough to the first rendezvous and got a reward :)

But the next milestone will surely be out of reach assuming the expedition closes out in a bit.

But when exactly does it close? I was expecting it to close out at 8:00pm EST as that's what the countdown indicated, but it's still there.

Do all expeditions last the same amount of time? And how long after this one ends will the next one begin?

I'm eager to really get into it again but I'm hoping the next expedition starts soon so it doesn't feel like I'm not making any progress if I just do a vanilla playthrough, ya know?

Thanks in advance :)

The most slots I've found on a ship was 26 and I'm nowhere near being able to repair it. Is there anything specific I should be looking for in regards to a good ship that's worth the trouble? How many inventory slots can a ship have?

Also, inventory management is killing me. Do I need to hold onto things like vykeen daggers, ancient keys(from what I've noticed there's usually enough buried keys to open the chest at the site, but should I keep a stack of them?)

What about keeping anti matter? Quantum computer? Spark canisters? I feel like some of the item descriptions could be worded better to tell you if something is worth keeping besides "tradable" and "tradable energy source" . What does that even mean? It's worth 1k credits. That's nothing. Do I need it for a quest later?

I still have a stack of gek relics because I haven't ran into any to give them to. Is it worth keeping them just incase or should I just sell it?

I'm a major pack rat in rpgs so I feel like I'm throwing away a piece of my soul but this games inventory management is just too punishing. When the hell do I get access to storage units for my bases? I've found multiple terminals where I get to pick a blueprint to unlock but I didn't see anything related to storage.

If anyone can answer any of my questions I'd be seriously grateful

I was today years old before realizing the exotics can go to 48 slots. [Discussion]

I've had a little yellow exotic (I think the consensus is to call it a guppie style but may be wrong) and just now realized it could go to 48 slots thanks to a screenshot I saw yesterday. Can't remember who posted but I wish I could to thank them. With it not having the outlines around the squares like other ships I didn't realize it was upgradeable.

Resource-distribution [Discussion]

Hello again, your friendly newbie trying to understand how the Atlas works in his mysterious ways.

I've traveled myself to galaxy three, Calypso, and finding a lot of different planets. As to yesterdays post, I finally found my exotic. Thanks for all the help, learning a bunch!

In my travels I find planets have such different amounts of resources. A deposit on one planet may be really small, and on the other huge. Is there a way to predict this? I'm visiting all kinds of systems, T1 to T3, and yellows, green, blue and red.

What systems would people recommend hunting for? And what is your favorite galaxy, and why?

Thanks for the warm welcome into the community.

Returning Player, Bugged out freighter [Bug]

Playing again after 2+ years, all the existing fleet command rooms have dissapeared. I can only build 4 new ones. Limit is 6. I don't see them anywhere in the Freighter.

Any way to resest the freighter? I switched to a new one as well but it looks like the layout and the inventory gets carried over?

I am on PC, no mods.

We need a way to reset our position [Bug]

This post is because I'm really pissed. This already happened to me a few times when doing weekend missions. I get stuck with the ship inside the Anomaly, or inside a tree, or whatever, and boom, 30 minutes lost doing the quest.

With how common do you get stuck in this game, we should have a button with a long cooldown to reset our position. Because reloading when you spent 30 minutes or more doing some quest is not fun.

Is it okay to kill off pirates first before creating save point. currently hunting for S- class freighter. [Question]

I'm in a 2-star system and have reloaded several times already and have only managed to get it to A-class so far. I'm getting tired of fighting off the pirates every time so I was wondering if I clould kill them first, then go to station to create a save and reload from there. Would the class of freighter already be set?

Question: Sentinel Multi-Tool Upgrades [Question]

Does anyone know for sure whether the multi-tool upgrades from destroying sentinels ONLY apply to the Boltcaster or whether they increase damage, fire rate, etc. of ALL weapons? The green line around the upgrades lights up only when they are placed next to each other or next to the boltcaster, not when they are placed next to, for example, the scatter blaster. But the text description on the upgrades says nothing about being boltcaster-specific.

NMS is giving my lovely PC performance anxiety? [Question]

I purchased a $3k pre-built beast at the beginning of 2020, but I feel like it may not still be optimized properly, can anyone help?

When playing No Mans Sky I get bad FPS drops/screen stuttering at random times, but especially when the game is loading while loading a save(the floating-through-systems screen is always jittery for me), or warping/hyper spacing.

I also have some strange texture issues: the shiny floor in space stations has weird murky blurring issues, and my freighter keeps having visual glitches where there are cracks/misalignment in all the seams that allow me to see outside of the freighter, or a whole middle section(s) of my max sized venator-class will randomly be missing. Additionally, any time my bases get even above the most basic level they start lagging terribly/bad texture pop-in/fail-to-load issues.

It should be noted I have already tried the NumHigh/LowThreads etc fix, it made a minor improvement, but did not solve the issues.

From what I understand a PC with my specs should still be able to run NMS smooth as butter at Ultra graphics settings..

My specs:

Processor: AMD Ryzen Threadripper 1920X 12-Core Processor, 3500 Mhz, 12 Core(s), 24 Logical Processor(s)

Graphics: Name NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080

RAM: 32.0 GB (31.9 GB usable)

Motherboard: PRIME X399-A

ideas for the next update: [Discussion]

ReMaster ExoCrafts: maybe custom your ExoCrafts with diffrent models would be really cool, also slots upgrades could be sooooo helpfull.

New ExoCrafts: new ExoCrafts like: Tanks (for fighting Sentinels), Drill (for mining in caves), Big Boat (for travel faster on water and use it as a mini garage for the Nautilon SubMarine)....

Floating System for SpaceShips: landing on water with SpaceShips would be a really good functionality.

your SpaceStation: in certain Space-Systems there are any SpaceStations so why dont build your own SpaceStation with your own decorations and your own ExoCraft garage.

Companions can enter in buildings: we just need that (pls).

New ExoSuit Helmets: new Story-Based Helmets would be nice.

Space Leviathan: watching Space Leviathans flying in the Space-Systems would be really cool.

Anti-Sentinels Vykeen troops: it could be really helpfull.

Costum SpaceShips: Customize your SpaceShip or Create one with scanned parts would be sooooooo cool.

New Animations: would make the game more accurate.

Cities: i think having just small towns is boring, so why dont have an entire city ?

Here are all my ideas for the next update, hope you enjoy it and have a great day my great traveller :)

Hello Games needs to fix their teleporters, ASAP. Please! [Discussion]

Every time I load into a manually saved game, or teleport to a base directly, I spawn at weird locations. Sometimes I am even flung away after the teleportation animation ends!

I have logged a Zendesk bug, and posted a couple of times on the bug thread in this subreddit, with repro steps.

This all began with the update that happened right after they launched expedition 5 (SENTINEL 3.84, March 1, 2022). I am somewhat new to NMS, starting in January of this year. Teleporting in, or loading manual saves, used to just work.

Now they are anything but reliable. I have been forced to alter where I locate my teleporters in my bases to avoid being flung across the ground whenever I port in (receiving damage, mind you).

Am I the only one???

r/place Atlas Design - Join us on Discord or NMS r/place group chat! [Information]

We have a new Discord thread for an NMS r/place discussion to coordinate the pixel design of an Atlas. Join us on Discord, or the group chat here: https://s.reddit.com/c/18rcjy6pa58sa

This is the chosen design:

Atlas Pixel Art

The tip of the atlas is at 1633, 1612 for now, although location may change as the group coordinates things. Join us or see comments for updates.

What is r/place?

A collaborative project and social experiment hosted on Reddit. It involves an online canvas located at a subreddit called r/place, which registered users could edit by changing the color of a single pixel from a 16-color palette. After each pixel was placed, a timer prevented the user from placing any pixels for a period of time varying from 5 to 20 minutes.

What are the rarest species of animal? [Question]

I've made myself the goal of adopting one of each of the rarest species of creature.

By rare i mean spawn rate, like how the Diplo are really rare. Similar creatures that are really hard to find and can be adoptable.

I have one of those mechanical deer which i consider rare whether they are or not. I also have a strider and various creatures from Expeditions.

I've tried using google but I can't find anything other than Diplo unless they're the only considerably rare creatures?

Terrible FPS, nothing I've tried helps [Question]

Specs:

i5 6600k

GTX 1060 3GB

16GB RAM

Despite my setup exceeding the minimum requirements for this game, I absolutely cannot get it to run above 15 fps. I have researched various ways to fix it, tried the TKGRAPHICSSETTINGS fix, tried turning the graphics settings down to low across the board but nothing helps. Although the menuing is buttery smooth, gameplay is always extremely slow and unplayable. Curiously, pressing "optimize" in the Geforce Experience application actually did give me over 60fps once but then the game reverted back to its previous state when I tried playing it again in another session.

I have also noticed that the NumHigh/NumLowThreads fix in the graphics settings file does not apply even when I save the file, as soon as I open the game it automatically changes both values back to 2.

Any assistance in this matter would be greatly appreciated.

So, is there a point to playing with friends? [Question]

I've been thinking of getting some pals to play NMS together, haven't tried MP extensively in a long time but one thing I recall is that the game wasnt really intended for multiplayer progression, just instancing with someone else and messing around, so I have a few questions.

Is there a benefit to playing with friends? Can you "progress together" other than just sending eachother materials?

Also a few questions with how bases work. Can we build separate bases in the same planet and show up even when the owner is offline? Or is it still one base per planet? If that's the case, would a planetary neighborhood work? Like each friend gets a planet in the same system to build a base in.

I know its a lot of questions but this game demands quite a lot of grind so I dont want to make my friends invest their time in something there's no point in playing together, unlike something like Minecraft.

My Sentinel quest is completely broken [Question]

So after I did the first encounter of the Sentinel questline after I set up my settlement, the Undamaged Drone Shell was nowhere to be found. I used the savegame editor NomNom to give myself the drone shell so I could bring it to Tethys, which I did, and he gave me the drone flare, but when I activated it in my inventory, nothing happened. Out of curiosity, I discarded it in my inventory and was prompted to get another one from Tethys, but when I request one, he won't give it to me. Is there a way to fix this questline, or can I restart it somehow to try and solve the problem?

Update suggestions/ideas [Suggestion]

Hi, first of all, i love the game and I know that Hello Games will publish a lot of great updates for the game. So I'm not here to ask for a specific giant update with all the details fixed, but to suggest specific features that can be implemented in many ways. One feature I'd really like to see are Clans, or something like that. You can do so much cool stuff with them, clan space wars, maybe build clan space stations, flying together with your clan, build alliances, maybe some kind of empires, this are just a few of many possible ideas so I don't say we need these specific ideas but the one that makes them possible, clans. I know Hello Games and the community will find the best ways to use this feature if it comes. Another idea, something for the phone (or second screen?). I mean, am I the only one who sometimes has the feeling that I don't have all the information that could be useful? Let's not even talk about flying in 3th person. Don't get me wrong, the game has a great hud and quick settings, you have basic access to everything you need. However there is more. How said, when flying in third person you don't see the speed etc. of your vehicle, having that on a second screen on your phone would be awesome. You could also do the communication stuff there, then you dont have to stop to speak to other spaceships. But those are just some ideas. Like before, I guess the community and hello games would create something awesome. Maybe there will even be offline functionality, so that you can do stuff while your not ingame on pc or your console. For this one I even have some ideas how this could get done. - To reduce the work, Hello Games could add an API running with the game localy, so no extra servers or something would be needed, just a device in the same local network. If the documentation for the API gets public fans could build their own apps or websites and hello games doesnt have to do...

Potential teaser for a future update in QS Store? [Discussion]

Alright, so a few days ago new Quicksilver items dropped to QS Store. Nothing extraordinary about that, but one item has a very curious description;

https://imgur.com/a/LnNaiax

As you can see, this chair looks like one from a space station, and interestingly it mentions that it can be installed to space stations. Usually this kind of furniture and stuff says that you can install it in your base. Now, there has been this station override thing for over 10 months now, and nothing has happened with it. A common speculation is that at some point players will be able to own space stations via that override. Could that update possibly be coming soon, because based on previous years, a new update might be close?

I think I've noticed a pattern with the expeditions [Discussion]

I've played all the expeditions so far, and beat them all, and I've noticed some sort of pattern with some of them

They tend to follow update themes

Here are a few examples:

Exp 1: based off of expedition update (obviously) not sure this one really counts

Exp 2: didn't follow any updates, but was anomalous, and offly similar to a 4chan leak for frontiers a while ago, but I am probably stretching a shit ton (could or could not be a prediction of a future update)

Exp 3: based off frontiers update, as in both the update and the expedition you settle on one planet

Exp 4: kind of its own update, but also teased new combat features, and maybe the worms might get added back into the game as a separate update

Exp 5: based off of companion update

Exp 6???: Space station/money making?

So far the expeditions are based off of some updates, but my point is, what if expeditions are a secret way to test gameplay features?

My honest thoughts after 5 years of No Man's Sky long read [Discussion]

Introduction

Hello everyone,

Some people know me, most don't and why should anyone? I'm just one of many No Man's Sky fans and propably my post will just drown in the ocean of modern day screenshots and doxologies for amazing bases. Anyway, I've been around here since day one and have witnessed all the ups and downs of this game and it has been an amazing ride of emotions for quite a while.

I'm happy to be part of this community. My membership had reached its peak when I flew over from Germany to Guildford to meet some of you guys and people to share my passion with. One of the most spontanious and craziest things I have ever done in my life! I'm really grateful for that experience.

No Man's Sky has had a huge influence on my life ever since it got announced. The anticipation from 2013 up until release in 2016 hadn't been easy to handle. Never have I ever been so excited for a videogame. Have we all forgotten the original trailers and prerelease interviews? Do we still remember when we first got sold on this game? I do!

Since I'm losing more and more interest on No Man's Sky I came back here to write down some of my thoughts. Kind of like after waking up from an interesting dream and you need to write it down immediately before it fades away for good. I don't want that to happen, I don't want No Man's Sky to fade away but at this point it is inevitable...unless*... [more to that later]* Original vision and concept

To understand where I and many other day one players are coming from we need to dig into No Man's Sky and its original vision which partly was crafted from interviews, an E3 stage presentation, a GDC talk and of course the still polarizing prerelease trailers. I don't want to dive too deeply into details as all arguments have already been exchanged countless times between the E3-preNEXT-fulltime-explorers and the...

ARGGGGG.... I need the games save file from Gamepass [Question]

I bought NMS on steam and I'm trying to move over my saved file. I'm currently using instructions for this site to do this. I've unlocked permissions... etc etc etc... now I am at the saved files and they are named with codes I cannot work out which folder to save.. Can some PLEASE help me?

It says,

"Once you reach the above destination, you’ll be greeted with a folder that contains two files – one of which will be your save file. The second file within this folder is a container file, which helps the Xbox app identify the save file. The naming conventions that the Xbox app uses are somewhat complicated, using ID codes rather than conventional words or phrases for folders and files. While this might seem intimidating, checking the contents of the accompanying container file will provide some reassurance, as it will usually have the original title of the save file listed within.

Both your saved data and its accompanying file should be distinguishable by name, as each game typically uses the same naming conventions. While your save file should use an ID code string, the container file should be called ‘container’, followed by a number. Once you’ve identified the save file, take a copy of it and save it in a temporary location, such as your desktop. Ensuring you take a copy of this file, rather than directly moving it, will help prevent any accidents or mishaps, which could lead to you losing the save file altogether."

These is what is in the WGS folder.

Is there a maximum number of settlements on a planet? [Question]

Hello Interlopers!

I found a popular planet that I want to start a new settlement on! (Perhaps 5 + settlements on it already.)

It has Mold-balls+Beautiful Earth-like features.

However, whenever I try to use a space station Settlement Finding Item(forget the name ㅋㅋ), it says "Location Interference" or doesn't do anything, or goes to another planet. ㅠㅠ

Yesterday I tried for an hour by constantly reloading and using the item. Is there a better way? Is it probably hopeless?

Expedition 5 - Community Thanks [Discussion]

I just wanted to give a heartfelt thanks to the great members of the No Man's Sky gaming community, be they playing on a Playstation, and Xbox, or a PC. Thanks to so many awesome members of the community that created fantastic resource bases to help other players out, and marked important locations and finds for the expedition I was able to blast through Expedition 5 despite joining it very late (Friday April 1st) and still get 100% completion and rewards. I likely would not have been able to do that without you all - or it would have been much harder and required all-nighters and many more cases of Mountain Dew and Jolt. You are all a fantastic community. Those of you out there know who you are, and I would give some names had I been paying closer attention - I doubt now I can find my way back. I also got a great kick out of some of the bases that though they might not have been as useful, at least made me realize I am not alone in some of the wackier things I do.

To the person who built the castle on the live volcano - Fantastic. It gave me great amusement.

To the maker of the Guiding Arrow for the Final Rendezvous - I also found this greatly amusing.

I would love to share screen captures but no longer know how to hotlink to them from Xbox Live's website, if you even still can.

Thanks to you ll I had a blast speed running this expedition - and it was like a great off-road rally across a part of the galaxy.

I was today years old and 144hrs of gameplay time when I learned that you can land on your freighters ships and collect their cargo or utilise their service. Go figure 🤷🏻‍♂️

You can also drop a quick tip!

Tip #1: Always try to be doing multiple things. Pick up the portable refiner so you can refine something from your inventory while exploring and mining.

Tip #2: Avoid multiplayer until unlocking the anomaly, can be stranded if not.

Tip #3: Exotic worlds only have 1 fauna so it's easy to scan all of them.

Tip #4: Need glyphs? All 16 are on one planet here

Q- "I was on the Anomaly and a bunch of expensive stuff showed up in my inventory. What do I do with it? A:" Congrats! Another player has bestowed you with a gift. Most likely it is an item to sell for some quick and easy cash. Usually the item description will tell you what it is used for.

Q: "Help, I claimed a broken ship and now I can't find my starter ship! Is it gone forever?" A:" If you merely selected to "claim" the broken ship and not "swap" it, then your old ship is still around. If you left it with launch fuel in the tank, you can summon it with the quick-menu. If it does not have fuel, it can be summoned on the Anomaly (once you unlock it), your freighter (once you acquire one).

Q- "Are crashed ships worth repairing?" A-" Unless it is an exotic, no. Scrap the ship at the space station, sell the items it gives you, and use those units...
