Anomaly Portal exploit [Bug]

This portal has needed a nerf for a while and outlaws has been the final straw. You are able to bypass station blocks between normal and pirate station by just going through the anomaly portal not having to deal with the fear of police or space travel. ,This portal needs a cooldown and a total block when carrying smuggled goods.

disliked Subnautica, will I like no man's sky? [Question]

No man sky is on sale right now and apparently got a new update.

I've been looking at this game casually for a while (love the comeback story behind the game) and wanna try it, but i put it in the same sphere as Subnautica.

I tried that game but didn't get into it, as the learning curve seemed really high and I didn't care enough to invest in it

With this in mind do you think this game is different enough to get my attention or am I likely to bounce off it?

#

about solar ships? [Discussion]

I see nms got an update and I see all these posts about solar ships, but aside from everyone talking about how cool they look, not a single person has talked about if the ships are actually any good. I have a few exotic ships 2 living ships and a few s classes, I have room for 1 more ship, I want to put a solar ship in it because they look cool but I don't really want to get a ship just because it looks cool if the ship socks.

So what kind of info do we have on the solar ships, do the panels recharge anything on the ship? Are they fast or stronger than other ships, or are they nothing but looks?

Also what else was added to the game in the update aside from solar ships and new space stations

Are there new multi tools, are there new bases on planets, are there new things you can make for your own base like turrets or something

A new update came out and all anyone is saying is "look at this pretty new ship" and posting pictures. How about some actual information about the ship instead of just how nice it looks. Spread information about the new ship type and what it's good at and talk about what else got added to the game

The ships do look nice, but they need to perform or they're garbage.

Extreme yikes after buying 7th ship [Information]

Your freighter flight bay will only have six of your ships in it, and three open pads for guests.

Remain calm. You can summon to bring in the one that isn't there already, and it will replace one of your ships already docked in the bay.

#

Is smuggling bugged [Question]

When I sell my contraband, I don't get as much money as it says when I sell. Is this a glitch or is there something I don't know about?

#

Question about friend code [Question]

I was attempting to put in a friend code and kept receiving an error 'Friend Unable to be added' (paraphrasing) and when I tried to give my friend code, there wasn't one when I clicked the option.

I play on PS5 and they play on PC. I was aware crossplatform is eligible, but after looking at if PS Plus was needed, they mentioned years ago that it wasn't, but when I tried to select multiplayer function, it says it does. Majorly confused on if I do need PS Plus to add friends or not?

#

My first expedition started off with pvp lol [Meme]

So I downloaded the new update and decided I'd finally try expedition mode a little before work. Everything was going swell, find my ship among a couple other players, began repairs.

I'm mining ferrit and carbon when I start taking damage. This player who had a gek model was just popping me with his mining laser. I shot back a little then when along my way be he didn't let up.

Ok pal, we'll play this game.

Jump in my starship and finish repairs, fly up (while still being shot at with that dollar store mining tool) and fly back around to open fire. He's jumping and weaving, pretty good considering, then I notice another one of the starships lifts off. My first thought was "oh no, they probably think I'm trolling this dude and I'm about to get into ship combat". No, apparently this guy was also attacked and annoyed by this little gek. So now there are two ships doing strafing runs on this guy. He died in a flurry of laser and rocket fire, happy early independence day gek-foe.

If the other starship ever reads this, GG, your aim was better than mine lol.

If you're that gek player, GG, you survived a pretty good time considering the situation, but you probably should have taken shelter in one of those buildings lol.

My first ever expedition, and it started very interesting to say the least. Fly safe fellow travelers!

Fighters in Vykeen systems [Question]

anyone else noticed that after the update that these space stations have less fighters flying in and more haulers/explorers/shuttles? seems like fighters ( maybe bc they are best for combat/squadron recruiting )? i baited maybe 25 systems, all Vykeen, all tier 3 and i got very few fighter landings. Just curious

#

Did Ship Controls Change? [Question]

I played NMS for a long time and then took a break around the end of 2020. I came back to see the Outlaws update and now I can barely fly my ship.

When I'm on the planet and I try to fight pirates in my ship, my ship just turns upside-down, tilts sideways, and runs into buildings. In fact it got bad enough that I died. I had to reload to a much earlier save so I didn't have to repair my ship. Did one of the updates since 2020 change the ship controls? When I played yesterday it had the combat auto-follow on so I turned it off but my ship is still a mess.

#

what do you think about the procedural generation planets in 2022? [Question]

I heard the game was pretty basic in this aspect in 2016-2017 when NMS had a rough reception. But what about now? I'm a new player and as far as I've explored I'm loving every planet I have visited (5 so far in a single star system) but I'm afraid I'll get bored of exploring because the procedural generation will get repetitive and unimpressive the more you play, is this true or the game keeps the exploration aspect fresh when you are an advanced player? I'm just curious.

#

How to lock on a ship target in Outlaws update? [Question]

I’m playing on PC using an XBOX controller. During a ship battle it’s telling me to lock on the target to follow it by pressing the ⚠️ button. I have no idea what button that is….your help will be much appreciated! 🙏

#

Forged passaport doesn't restore all reputation you lose on a mission [Information]

I don't know if is a bug or a feature but every pirate mission I do I receive those forged passports to restore reputation, the thing is in each mission you have to take down 4-6 enemy ships and each ship you kill you standing goes down with that faction.

So in a mission you lose 4-6 reputation, but we receive a item called forget passaports that is supposed to wipe your crimes and restore you reputation but it just restore 1 point, so you are still on negative.

I don't know if is a bug or a feature, if is a feature is just bad because it encourage you to just ignore those missions.

#

Peaceful systems have constant pirate attacks, pretty annoying [Bug]

Ok so peaceful systems have totally been ruined, systems listed as peaceful should not have constant pirate attacks, ever since I’ve updated yesterday i fell like it’s just none stop pirate attacks every where, not even a 5 min break between them, while i love the rest of the update get pirates the F out of peaceful systems

#

tired of restarting [Information]

I have had to restart my playthru like 3 times and am sick of the beggining slog of the first couple jumps (think my max had been like 5 jumps in) is there anyway to speed up the game for the beggining?

#

Solar ships ruined the game for me [Discussion]

The new solar ships are simply gorgeous, I love the animations and how unique they feel, however these new ships leave all the other ships feeling like space bricks from a game from years ago. I really hope there is a full ship overhaul coming, because now the new ships are here they leave the others in the dirt.

#

Overbearing Raids [Discussion]

I dont know about anyone else but since the new update i cant go 5 minutes without getting raided and it is so annoying.

Sorry if the flair is wrong i couldnt think which one was appropiate

#

Outlaws update: Too many raids? [Question]

I'm very much a newb so bear with me, but is it just me or does it seem like the raids are continuous? I've just made it to the stage in the Artemis trail where (small spoiler) you have to talk to a Korvax with a translator and everytime I try to go there the trading post is getting obliterated with pirate attacks. It was great fun fighting them off, but they keep coming back :-P. Is this a bug or am I on an attack prone planet or something.

Thanks!

#

No option for base computer [Bug]

I'm playing the new expedition right now, and the base computer is not an option in the build list. I'm also not seeing the blueprints for it in the anomaly either. I can't remember if the regular game makes you play a bit before getting the blueprints or not. I've seen this was a bug a while back, and the "solutions" were to start a new game, turn off network, reload saves and reboot the game. I've done all but the starting a new game again. Is this the fix?

#

Problem with Atlas Interface Coordinates [Bug]

So I have just crafted a Heart of the Sun, and I'm looking to got to the next Atlas Interface. The problem Is, whenever I ask Polo for directions, and then go into the galaxy map, it doesn't tell me where it is. I've already restarted my game and my computer a couple times, but it still won't load. Does anyone here know of this problem, and would they be able to help me with it?

#

No more storage augmentations when attacking freighters? [Question]

After the Outlaw update, I've went after several freighters trying to stock up on storage augmentations now that I have new ships and cargo space to increase. However, I'm not finding any in the pods on them. Has anyone else noticed this? If so, any report of a bug or something?

#

I am fucking furious. [Discussion]

I spent 2h trying to get a walker brain in the expedition today. After a nailbiter I finally downed a walker, but my inventory was full from all the shit I looted trying to keep my shield up, so missed out on the walker brain.

Thanks for coming to my rant.

#

Some Questions about the game... [Question]

Hi, i wanna buy this game and is on sale right now on Steam but i have some questions:

1)Is there any DLC for this game or all the big updates are free?

2)Any future update will cost money?

3)Any other things i should know before buying this game?

Thanks guys...

#

Best overall ship [Discussion]

With the new added ships has anyone checked whether any particular ship has the best all around base stats? I feel like the solar ships beat my other ships in most categories besides warp distance.

Has anyone observed anything else?

#

Fill up NANITES NOW that you can! [Bug]

Because is about to be patched really soon..like in a couple of days!

So long story short whatever item you sell from the starship cargo slots, it is not removed after sale.

  1. Upgrade to as many starship cargo slots possible.(21 is max) thats optional just for faster gains.

  2. Fill the cargo with the SAME mod upgrade for a large amount per sale (i used S-class "starship shield upgrade" as it sells for about 490 nans each.) you can find 2 Space Stations with the same mod and then travel between them back and forward to buy the same mods continuously.

  3. Go to general options and disable "hold to confirm".

  4. Go to any Technology Merchant on a space station, hit "sell", switch to starship storage and then smash the button until you get bored! I stoped at around 3 million nanites... :D

Outlaw update on Xbox one [Answered]

Is the outlaw update out on the Xbox one? My game doesn’t need an update and the in game patch notes is still the sentinel update. Thanks for anyone who knows

#

I think I hate this game now… [Bug]

So I have about 150 or so hours put into the game and spent a fair bit of time trying to get a S class star destroyer awhile back but gave up on it. Well today I warped and get a rescue mission for guess what a full size star destroyer. I clear the pirates and land to see that it a 34 slot S class. couldn’t even believe it at first and ya know what happens? The captain bugs out and just keeps restarting the convo to buy the ship, tried everything I found online to fix it to no avail and ended up loosing it completely…..

#

Gold is broken! [Bug]

Haven't been on this sub in years. The new update brought me back and I found something broken and I was curious if anyone else is having the same bug? I have gold sitting in my new ship and it doesn't disappear when I sell it. Only gold but it's gotten me over 100 million at this point so have fun.

About Survival… [Question]

Should I start a survival play through? I’ve been playing on a normal save for about 3 years now and I want a challenge

#

Damaged ships [Question]

Hi im new to the game been playing the last couple of days and ive found 2 damaged ships and claimed them, is there a way of scrapping these for materials etc or do i just need to fix them before they are any use ( i dont actually want them just dont know what im doing) Thanks for any help

#

Screen stutter and then crash [Bug]

So I’ve had NMS since release and been on and off it for years on PS4pro, recently transferred data to PS5 and it’s started doing this really annoying screen stutter as if it’s lagging. Every 5 seconds or so the frames flicker for a split second and return to normal, it does this for about 10/15 minutes and then the game crashes (I report the problem every time).

I have tried to find some info but no certain fix yet, I’ve uninstalled and reinstalled, I’ve deleted ALL save data for NMS (cloud and console), which I was 100% mentally ready for as I was planning to start a new save anyway. Rebuilt PS5 database in safe mode, tried it with HDCP on and off, frame lock in game menu does nothing.

I need help bad as I was really enjoying the game and hoping to enjoy the outlaws update but I can’t like this.

This only happens with NMS, all my other games run perfect.

Help finding a specific living ship [Question]

Does anyone know if there's some secret trick I'm not aware of to get the living ship you want? I've been reloading for weeks and it won't send me to the crash site I'm after!!

It's a 6 planet system, and reloading on one of the planets sends me to crash sites on the planet I need every single time. Reloading on any of the other planets always sends me to the wrong one.

I've also tried from the space station, that never sends me to the correct planet. I've also tried at a bunch of places in the system from my freighter, again it's never sent me even to the correct planet.

I've been at this for weeks, does anyone have any advice/strategies they've had success with?

#

Station overrides in Outlaws? [Question]

It seems like something that this update would add, so A: is there a way to obtain one now outside of tricking the game into giving expedition 3 and B: does it do more that say it's a fake (if you obtain it in a legitimate fashion or mod it in)?

The Great Mid-Eissentam Survey is going on hold for the Expedition, but will continue! [Information]

If you've been following my posts over on /r/NMSCoordinateExchange then you'll know that I've been conducting a large survey of worlds in the Eissentam galaxy, known as the Great Mid-Eissentam survey. The primary output of this survey is the following spreadsheet of worlds: The Great Mid-Eissentam Survey: The Spreadsheet!

There are over 270 worlds in the survey thus far, and once the current Expedition has started to grow a bit older, I'll go back and start adding more.

The survey includes worlds in few adjacent regions about half way in toward the center of Eissentam and has been updated to reflect the changes of some systems to being Outlaw-controlled.

My posts from the survey so far have included: Yellow/Chrome Explorer with Slave/Firespray body, Wraith wings Eissentam biped with massive fin extending above and below the body! Strange Bountiful planet with constant rain has half-destroyed sky-rock near trade platform and Remo XI, Grassy World with gorgeous green hills

Note that this is a survey, not a civilization. There is no attempt to regulate or guide creation of structures in this region. If you want to start a civilization here, that's fine, but outside of the scope of my work.

Enjoy!

I have a questions about ships [Question]

#

Returning player wondering how to best experience so much new content? [Question]

Long story short, haven't played since the update that added base building, I think.. I remember being able to build bases, and a quest about Artemis, and how the space stations had portals and things in them and were much larger.

When the huge multiplayer update happened and there was that big hub space station added, I tried flying there once and someone gave me like a billion credits and kinda took the fun out of the game for me, haven't really been back since.

So now after all this time I haven't played any new content, and really don't know how to play at all anymore. I'm sure it'll come back, but was wondering how best to start my new adventure? Should I start one of those Expedition things? Should I try to avoid multiplayer elements altogether so I don't end up a bazillionare without anything left to "earn"?

Just wondering what everyone thought.. thanks!

#

For people who are upgrading their freighters, you can now get a cargo bulkhead as a reward from rescuing freighters from bandits. I got one last night! No more chromatic metal. [Information]

I think I had suggested this in a post a while ago but it's good to see they changed it. Freighter battles are now worth doing repeatedly even after you already have your freighter. Saves on having to make extra derelict freighter runs and cuts down the cost of having to buy the receivers.

#

Someone know how to get walker brain? [Question]

I need to get an Walker brain for the current Expedition for my Conflict Scanner, someone know how? The Sentinels are too op im not able to kill them with my weapons, are there any other ways?

#

ending of no man's sky main story [Question]

So I'm at the ending of the main story, and I am faced with 'seek the final interface', 'complete atlas path', and 'explore the galaxy'. If I pick seek the final interface, will I no longer be able to access my current base? I may be overlooking something that'd easily answer this question, but I'm not sure what to pick as I don't want to loose my current base.

#

anyone else under attack CONSTANTLY? [Question]

I knew some attacks would be starting with the update, but I can't walk 10 steps on any planet without getting strafed...that's on top of my settlement being mobbed by sentinels every time I visit, because I never finished the Trace of Metal mission (they stop attacking after that...right??).

I enjoy the updates, but I'd like to walk around mining and exploring in peace sometimes

#

Didn't received Twitch Drops [Question]

Hey guys, I connected my steam acc to HG, and also I did every step with connecting Twitch with steam and my acc. But when I visited the Quicksilver vendor at the anomaly I didn't have any of the rewards :/ Does anyone know why is that?

#

Upgrading the new cargo hold from the Outlaws [Question]

Has anyone figured out a cheaper / efficient way to upgrade the expanded cargo? My S Class Explorer has all the slots unlocked but for some reason only 3 of the new cargo. I've seen a multitude of worse class ships that have have up to 7 unlocked ... it's terribly sad. lol

#

Living glass [Question]

Can anyone give me living glass or give me the glyphs for an active living glass farm?

#

I think I found a glitch? Exploit (non-multiplayer)?

Following the release of Outlaws, I decided to start a new game. I hadn't done that in a while. anyway, so it seemed like a good time.

While exploring the planet after getting my ship repaired, I came across 10 Vortex Cubes. What was odd about this was that they were above ground - although the soil they were on was the same kind you'd find outside a cave (just no cave.) I scooped them up and went on my merry.

Flash forward a bit, and I'm at the space station, looking to pick up some resources to start upgrading my tech. I sold the Cubes... only to find them still in my inventory. I figured "maybe I had more than I thought" which was silly, as stuff isn't sold in bunches like they are stored in your inventory. So, i sold them again.

And again. And again. And again.

So far I've sold nearly 10 million credits worth of these "fake" cubes. Of course, the value goes down each time I do, understandably. I have yet to try them at a different space station - I haven't even gotten to the part in a new game where I have a hyperdrive yet.

I don't know if this is a known thing or if it works for everyone or if it's just some random glitch that happened to me and it's just my lucky day.

I'll get some video of it in a bit so you guys know I'm not full of baloney - but has anyone else come across this?

Outlaws Mission Bug [Question]

In the new mission, Under a Rebel Star, I found the abandoned ship, then warped to the system and went to the distress beacon. But now I'm stuck on the "Corrupted Sentinels remaining: Unknown". The sentinels never appeared. I've tried going through a black hole and seeing if I can reset the mission, but its not giving me the option. Does anyone know how to fix this?

#

I can see a nerf incoming soon enough besides what's planned. [Discussion]

Noticed that what used to be the nanite farm method of sentinels now is almost not worth it since you can easily get nanites extremely fast just in outlaw areas from buying the weapon/technology goods from vendor for units and then selling mods to mod vendor for massive nanites. I'm sure they'll probably increase prices of the chests soon enough.

#

Do Outlaw Systems have Trading Outposts? If so, do the Planetary Charts not work anymore for Outposts? Trying to find an A or S-Class Solar Sail Ship... [Question]

I've just used my 20th Inhabited Outpost Planetary Chart in a row, in several different Outlaw Systems, and I cannot find a single Outpost. Do they not exist in Outlaw Systems? Is this just horrible RNG?

I figured Outposts would be the best place to look for the new Solar Sail ships, but yeah, I can't find any. I've seen plenty coming through the Outlaw Space Stations, but every single god damn one has been a Class-C, and I've looked at MANY.

#

Stuck on The Purge, Can't Refind the System [Question]

Hi, me again.

As it says in the title I'm stuck on The Purge. In the log it says I need to locate and enter the final portal, on the screen it tells me it's in another system and to check the galaxy map but when I do it doesn't show where to go. There's no reset option and google is unhelpful.

I'd really like to complete the main quest at long last, but I'm at my wits end how to. I have on idea what system I originally triggered it in.

#

WTF. Lost cargo after update [Question]

Got into my main, 100% maxed exotic and all my inventory slots were reset to what I guess was the original number when I first got the ship, 7 or 8, and all cargo was gone.

Anyone else have this problem? Good thing I have about 130 storage augmentation upgrades because this is bullshit.

#

New player (ish) - Where to begin? [Question]

I played NMS when it first came out, and I also fired it up about 6 months ago. I started going through the introductory process: How to build a base, how to repair your ship, how to get airborne, etc., but I did not get too far as I got distracted by another game.

My question is this: I see the content of the new update and I cannot even fathom how to get involved in doing that kind of stuff. I am essentially a new player in terms of experience with recent updates and how far I have gotten. How long does it take to progress to the point where you can do awesome pirate stuff, fly with wingmates, etc. Does it require weeks or months of grinding to get to that point? What is the general "path" I would want to take to start partaking in this epicness instead of just running around a planet by myself and grinding resources so I can take off again?

#

Galactic core [Question]

I'm sorry but how tf do I get to the galactic core?!?! It's literally 700k light years away from me 💀 how does the game expect me to get that far 😩🥴

#

About mineral generation [Question]

One thing i was genuinely dissappointed was mineral generation. No matter how different the mineral looked, how strange the planet was, the surface minerals' (excluding those that require advanced mining laser, or the ones that are underground/underwater) primary element was always ferrite dust- or at least it applied to the ones i have seen so far.

Today I started the new expedition, and when i landed on a fractured planet (Xavil, starting system) with realy cool looking mineral and plant formations I once again had those exact thoughts- only to find two minerals with cobalt as their primary mineral shortly after. My initial thought was that it could be a case where cave didnt properly generate and cave minerals exposed to surface, but then i found the actual cave cobalt mineral, also the ones at the surface was plenty enough to make me sure of that it belonged to surface.

In my ~80 hours i have seen plenty of planets, planets with reality glitches, planets with extreme conditions, planets that changes the colors you perceive... In all those, minerals always had ferrite dust as their primary, as long as they are not undeeground/underwater or required advanced mining laser. So my question is, do you know since when that type of primary genetations exist? Is it something recent, or extremly rare? Or I just managed to miss them for too long?

#

I wish this game let us select (reduce) the spawn rate of stuff. [Suggestion]

I'd love this game even more if we could reduce the spawn rate of wildlife, settlements, resources, etc.

Don't know about you guys but when I land on a planet, I feel like there's just too much stuff.

I would like to land, appreciate the landscape and explore, make events and stuff harder to find. I understand this might not be for everyone but for me an option of this kind would make visits to planets more interesting and meaninful.

Also if there's a mod for this I would appreciate if someone shared it, I couldn't find anything.

TL;DR. Change my view. There's too much stuff immediately available on planets as soon as you land. Reducing the spawn rate of things would make exploration more interesting and meaningful.

#

help me i'm trapped! [Question]

help me out! i'm stuck IN the ceiling of an abandoned building!

my ship did a shit parking job and landed halfway in the building, and when i got out.. i'm in the roof.. can't get out. and my manual save is almost a year old. i have tried to suicide but no luck, my spawn point puts me back IN the same structure spot.

i'm on the PS5, so can't use a save editor either

#

Back to the game aftert 2-3 years - what to do now [Question]

A few years ago I played about 300 hours. Now I want to go ahead but I don't know what I should do? I heart about the new update and living ships, companions and so on. Can you give me a few tips or a information source (web page ort Video) where I can have an overview what I could do?

#

Warp [Question]

With a Indium Warp core i dont need a Emeril to be installed or?

#

Is this a bug, or something I can fix somehow? [Question]

The game performance is absolute garbage despite it barely making my CPU/GPU break a sweat. Both are consistently being underutilized, not even my fans are kicking in because they're just not heating up. Why is the game just not using my system resources? Is there a fix for this?

Simply moving the mouse around causes it to stutter like mad. See performance indicators at the top right.

This is after standing still for about a minute. Barely any improvement.

#

The Outlaws and it's new Lore, brings the perfect opportunity for the so claimed "Ship Re-Shaping" feature. [Suggestion]

I want to point that this new update brings a fresh and awesome Lore background, with that feeling to The Mandalorian and the Star Wars's galaxy border... full of thieves, mercenaries, scrapyards and illegal modifications.

That's why this would be the perfect moment to introduce the most claimed feature by players for years: ship re-shaping.

The claim is simple, to be able to change the parts of your ship and colors, instead of endlessly looking for that RNG ship with that shape of your dreams.

Well, now that old claim could match with the new Lore:

With illegal modifications done on covert scrapyards run by criminals and surrounded by outlaws and bounty-hunters... what if finally, we could sell stolen or nearly crashed ships to split and scrap it's parts, take that cockpit or wing shape you where looking for to re-shape your chased ship, cover it with new paint and alter it's ID code... and quit the system on an unregistered ship able to bypass the Sentinel's galaxy frontier and the bounty over your head, with illegal cargo on the vault?

I swear, we swear that r/NoMansSkyTheGame developers actually consider on adding this old claimed feature, that now could have finally found it's sense and opportunity, and deepen on this wide Lore that now opens.

#

Love this game but i got complaints. [Discussion]

I've been loving the new update but i feel like there's still a few small easily added things that are missing like the fact that i can paint my freighter but not my frigates or ships or the fact they let you play as a bunch of different races but if you want to use the first spawn helmet (a helmet specifically designed for geks) or the new hood you have to be an anomaly.

#

Expedition questions, am new [Question]

Obviously each phase and mission in this expedition gives you rewards, like 2000 gold. I know that the major rewards will be across all saves, but are the mission rewards the same?

I have put maybe a little too much effort into this expedition and don't want to leave this all for my old save

#

Anyone else frustrated your squadron can’t fly the same model ship? [Discussion]

Found a beautiful green solar ship in my first pirate system. Although it was very difficult to come by, I decided I wanted to fly this ship and build an entire squadron of matching green solar ships. Spent an hour waiting at a trading post for this extremely rare ship to spawn. After I grabbed myself a model and one squadmate, I waited another 30 minutes for another green ship to appear, only to discover (and then confirm) that no two squad members can share the same ship.

Just... why?!? So frustrated that something as silly as this would be stopped by the game, preventing me from playing the way I want to play. Anyone else feeling something relatable?

#

How to get the hooded helmet? [Question]

So, I absolutely love the new cape with this update, but I've really been wondering, how do you get the hooded helmet? I've seen other people with it and it looks really cool, but I don't know how to get it. Any help would be appreciated!

#

More ships? [Question]

I haven’t played in awhile but decided to check out the new update. Stumbled across some of these fancy new ship designs and immediately swooped into trading a busted one out. I noticed it said I could buy and add it to my collection. I now have eight ships, did I miss something? I didn’t think the cap would be increased on ships.

Using Tab to open inventory constantly defaults to Starship Inventory [Bug]

Posted this in the bug thread, but figured I'd toss it out generally, too, just to see if it's just me and my own particular bugging NMS or is a general bug.

Ever since the update, using Tab to open inventory automatically defaults to the starship inventory, even if it's out of range. Which means opening inventory now requires hitting Tab and THEN swapping over to exosuit inventory.

It's a pain in the butt. Just one more bug on the tally added by the recent update.

Ive died for the first time during dogfight. [Discussion]

So i just want to ask others: you guys notice the difference in difficulty?

i've been doing bounties and absolutely love all the new content so far.

Usually i am invincible in my decked out 7 winged fighter (lucky 13), but today i actually got my butt kicked once!!! i have never been so stoked about dying in a game in my life!

Expedition 6 - Phase One: Red Skies.... I am confused [Question]

I got to this milestone and I feel like I'm missing something. From what I can tell I need to grind up ~750 nanites to unlock the ability to craft a Warp Hyperdrive. I don't mind spending the time to grind to get these nanites, but the time difference between doing this milestone and the others is significant enough that I feel like I may be missing a step somewhere, because in expeditions, you often get the grindy materials as a milestone reward. Just checking here before I start in on planet hopping and scanning.

Second: I noticed that one of the components needed to repair the Amplified Warp Shielding is Cadmium, but it says that Cadmium is located in red star systems, but I need an Amplified Warp Shielding installed to get to a red star system... so I am confused. I need one of these drives to get to red star systems so that I can mine up the materials needed to fix this drive.

What am I missing?

Is there a reason we can't label our saves? [Question]

Just started NMS in Jan of this year. I now have one creative save, and two normal saves (the second is the Expedition 5 save). I am about to add another save for the new Expedition, Outlaws. It would be so nice to label which is which.

Has Hello Games given a reason for why you can't?

#

question about the space pirate update [Question]

If I were to start a new save, once I get off my initial planet, would a space pirate/smuggler be profitable enough to build out a nice fleet? As in, never having to go down and mine materials. Fwiw, I haven't played in quite a while so this may have been possible before. Haven't played since expeditions started but also a bit before that.

my settlement is broken [Bug]

Since yesterdays update ive had a bug with my settlement. Granted its a small and newish one i gained when that update came out but when sentinels attack they just fly up into space and i cant kill them. Anyone else have this issue or know a fix?

Thank you, Hello Games, for supporting the Steam Deck so well [Discussion]

When I first reserved my Steam Deck, I was beyond excited at the prospect of playing No Man's Sky on the device. When I heard that No Man's Sky was Steam Deck Verified, I was further excited.

And even with my hype being as high as it was, I'm simply blown away at their level of support for the Steam Deck itself. Default graphics settings for the Deck run at 60 FPS Game's FSR implementation and overall implementation means I can run Enhanced settings with FSR Ultra Quality at 30 FPS for 3.5-4 hours Seemless sleep and wake up, even when connected online without having to restart the game (Elden Ring's hit or miss on if it stays connected when it comes back) Not one, but TWO official controller configurations for the Steam Deck, taking advantage of all of the buttons on the device One of the official configurations enables both the joystick for camera, a trackpad as a mouse for camera, AND the gyro for fine camera control.

Hello Games has really just taken this device and ran with it. It plays so well, and I've fallen in love with No Man's Sky all over again.

You can recruit your own personal ships into your wingmen squadron [Information]

Last night I tested whether or not I could trade my ship to another NPC pilot and then recruit the NPC pilot that would be standing next to my traded starship. Sure enough I recruited him and my ship. The recruited pilot immediately flew out of the space station with my ship. I waited about three minutes and was about to reload my autosave when my ship flew back into the space station and I was able to reclaim my ship. The only thing different was that the ship name had reverted back to the default ship name for that model. I went to another space station and tried the same method with another of my ships and had the same results. If you plan on trying this I would HIGHLY advise making a very recent manual save on a planet or your freighter before attempting this just in case your ship never flies back into the space station.

Glitch [Bug]

I have a glitch where I can sell things and get the units or nanites and still keep it. I can just keep selling the item over and over again.

Expedition 6 Liberation milestone not triggering? [Question]

This milestone isn't working for me and it's getting to be pretty frustrating. I've seen the pirates attack a fleet once and when I helped fight them it never gave me the next prompt to speak to the captain, and speaking with him didn't complete the milestone. Is this step just completely RNG or is there a way to force trigger it?

Under a Rebel Star [Question]

Is anyone else having issues starting this mission? I get to the point after you find the abandoned ship and the waypoint never shows up for me to continue the mission.

money bug [Bug]

so well i got the game 2 days ago and its great! the best space game i have ever played.

anyway i framed so bones for credits. i put 1 in my ship cargo bay and when i got to a shop it didnt sell well this was my first thought. when i looked at my credits, every time i pressed sell it would give me the credits and wont sell the bone. it was really weird. happened to me another time with other expensive things.

#

I just realized something [Information]

So there's a bug where whatever we sell from ship cargo doesn't get removed right? And this update was also pushed to consoles? Well listen to this...

go to station with 500 nanites and 500 tainted metal

buy one mod with the 500 nanites and put it in your ship, then immediately resell it twice.

repeat step 2 as often as you'd like until you have enough mods and nanites

go to the tainted metal trader, have tainted metal in ship inv

buy all the X class mods you want, resell the junk ones for more nanites

Congratulations you've just bypassed all the grind for ship mods and nanites. Also works with unit items at the trade center.

Rendezvous 3 isn't appearing [Bug]

I am at the point where I need to make it to the third Rendezvous point. Im in the system for it. But it says I'm the first person here. There are two planets and its not giving me the icon to follow to the planet with the Rendezvous. Does anyone know whats going on here?

Settlement issues [Question]

I’ve been reloading a save for 3 hours trying to get a settlement on my home planet nothing seems to work any advice would be appreciated!

#

Squadrons: Three things that would make Wingmen better [Suggestion]

Three things that would make the Squadrons feature better:

1 - Allow our wingmen to all be flying the same identical ship. Right now any two ships can't be the same.

2 - Allow us to toggle wingmen on or off individually. So we can choose who warps in to help, or choose to not have any help at all.

3 - Allow us to place our Wingmen as NPCs in our bases/freighter and when we interact with them we can use the same Wingmen menu that's in the freighter bridge.

New player. Need help building my first base. [Question]

So I built my floor, walls and my roof, and these were easy because each piece automatically fitted into place. I realized I had to delete a wall to make a door, so I did that and now pieces aren't fitting into place automatically anymore. Anyone know how to fix this?

Outlaws - Cargo Probe Deflector [Question]

Does anyone know how we get the Cargo Probe Deflector ???

I can see it listed in my Catalogue, and have the necessary ingredients to install it all ticked off ..

.. But right clicking Starship inventory slots does not bring up the equipment to install.

Maybe I need a blueprint, didn't notice anything new from the vendors in the Nexus.

Anyone installed it yet?

#

I stopped playing for a year because my save started freezing [Discussion]

and recently I read about the cool Outlaws update.

So I thought I would dust No Man's Sky off and try again.

Well.... It seems totally foreign to me now. I had over 118 hours into the game. I had a system for things. I had organization and knew recipes right off the top of my head.

I don't know if I'll ever get it back...

Will the cream man ever return? (IYKYK)

Pirates attacking me while I’m running around a planet is ruining the game for me. [Discussion]

I started a new game to experience the new update with a fresh game but pirates attacking me while exploring a planet is the opposite of fun.

It happens waaaaay too often. I’ll be running around a planet trying to explore or sitting at a trading post, and every few minutes pirates show up.

If I’m running, I need to summon my ship immediately, and even then there is a real good chance that I die before my ship shows up.

There are some neat things with this update, but I’m not sure I’m going to be playing much anymore. I love to run around exploring and that just doesn’t seem possible anymore.

Whining over.

Whats the fastest way to complete the Red Skies Milestone of the Expedition [Question]

Title

Not sure if this is a spoiler or not but I'm currently stuck on trying to get the materials for the amplified warp shielding. Getting enough nanites for the warp hyper core blue print is already a chore because it's locked behind the atlas pass, but I don't even know where to begin with getting quantum computers. Whats the fastest way to gett everything I need so I can get to the next step.

Request: Two changes to the game [Suggestion]

Disclaimer: Before I get opposition for this, I am essentially asking for two switches in the options menu; they don't need to disrupt anyone else's playstyle in any way.

There are two new options which I would like to see added to the Game Options menu for this game; particularly in light of the most recent patch.

a} Peaceful mode; or at least the ability to disable pirate activity, including warping directly into pirate attacks on freighters when entering a system.

NMS has been a much more relaxed game for the majority of its' existence, AFAIK, which means that a lot of people likely have a very well established expectation of what this game is, and the experience they are going to have while playing it. Putting this much of an emphasis on combat at this point in the game's lifecycle is likely to be very divisive, and drive at least some people away. I have been almost constantly attacked while trying to play the game since the patch released, and although I am capable of defending myself, I am not enjoying it.

b} The ability to disable the quest log entirely, especially including quest alerts.

I am completely self-directed in this game. I have had virtually nothing to do with the quest chains, and I do not intend to. I appreciate the fact that I am able to purchase all of the items which previously required quest completion, and can then choose what further activities I will persue.

Unsolicited intrusions, whether in the form of quest alerts or pirate activity, as mentioned, are therefore unwelcome. I am not asking for anything to be taken away from people who do want questing and pirates; only that I am able to make a choice about whether or not to experience those things myself.

#

Did the soundtrack change again? [Discussion]

Hey everyone, I was wondering if certain scripted songs no longer play in-game. A few nights ago, I began a new game, and expected to hear the track "GameStart_LushWalk". It's that mysterious, electronic track that plays when you discover the coordinates of your starship, and journey to it for the first time. When I started a new game, I just heard the cut up music tracks/samples that play throughout the game.

Unfortunately, it is not part of the first OST by 65daysofstatic, released in 2016, as it was composed sometime after that point. I do hope that all or most of the post-2016 OST gets officially released eventually, as it's so good. That also includes that banger of a track when you start up an Expedition, too.

What are your thoughts on this game's OST, from 2016 onwards?

how do you hunt for exotic and cool looking stuff? [Discussion]

So I've been asked by about 3 people a few days ago and Ive seen many people hunt for stuff different ways. There's also not many people who know how to hunt for stuff like

Exotic Multi-tools Cool ships Living ships Cool looking planets Creatures

So I'ma tell you how I hunt for stuff and see in the comments on how y'all do it. I've used this method for awhile and it has worked and also not worked even way before I've even made a Reddit account. Ight so here's how I do it

  1. go to the Galaxy you want to hunt in (example The Elucid galaxy) 2) go to a portal 3) make a base at the portal 4) type out random glyphs combinations 5) explore the system your in and the 6-8 closet systems near it 6) repeat

With this method I've used I'm NGL I've found some cool stuff. Mechanical planets, trashy looking (my Opinion) fan hauler's, some weird and cool creatures to tame, a few multi-tools but they class C or something like that, and even found my way to the center of the Elucid galaxy (I think)

Now Again this is just my opinion and how I do it, my way is more like a surprise box type situation, you don't know if your going to get something good, bad or just straight up nothers.

Anyways how do you go hunting for stuff?

#

How often are pirates attacking in your game? [Question]

I love the update so far and the new ships and outposts that come with it; but it seems like I can’t do anything on planet without being continually attacked by pirates.

I used to be able to sit at trading posts and hunt for “S” classes but now every 2-3 minutes there is a pirate attack on the post.

It seems… excessive? I’m not sure if it’s a quest line thing where I have to finish the mission line in order to normalize it?

I really do like the update and everything else it brings and I promise I’m not trying to complain where there isn’t anything to complain about!

Any thoughts or feedback?

Is There A Specific Methodology Or Particular Technique To Place A Mineral Extractor In The Middle Of The Metal Floor Utilizing a Snap Function To Do It More Quickly And Efficiently? [Question]

Greetings and salutations my fellow Interlopers!! I have tried to place mineral extractors in the middle of the metal floor, but it takes a significant amount of time. I have a preference of designing and building my industrial organizations in a balanced and symmetrical fashion, so I usually try to align my structures and equipment properly in synchronization.

The problem is no matter how hard I try to align with surgical precision and mathematical accuracy, there is one mineral extractor in the extreme sides of the upper or lower left or right hand side corner of the grid that would be off by approximately 5 millimeters and just wouldn't align properly no matter what I do, due to either the position of the build camera or the movement range.

The only method available is to position the build camera above and then tap the WSAD keys to slingshot the extractor in perfect timing to move it in the middle. I wish there was a method in which you could either have a snap-to-in-the-middle function or at least have a more accessible and free system of movement that could make it move more slowly rather than jump an entire tile with a single WSAD key press which just makes the alignment procedure more longer in duration.

I have observed the bases of expert builders and even they have problems with this and their structures and equipment are usually a few millimeters away from the middle and since players usually try to build symmetrically, even a 5 millimeter difference would be quite noticeable and prominent especially if you are making a larger grid.

how many of us still have the day one disc? [Discussion]

I came so close to returning this game after release but I'm so glad I didn't as it has turned in to the only game I have returned to time and time again and still surprises me every time I log on. Thank you hello games for sticking by the universe you created.

#

THIS IS BS! [Discussion]

I had five of six ships, all upgraded through hours of playing the game, all slots maxed out.

This new update repspec'd all of my ships cargo holds down to three or four depending on the ship type.

Thanks for screwing over the players Hello games.

#

Possible Bug? [Bug]

I haven't played since two updates ago, and don't remember there being a ship cargo tab. So I've stored some things there, but apparently when you sell whatever is in that tab your inventory doesn't go down, but you still get the credits.

Has this happened for anyone else, or is it just a weird bug for me?

How do Walker brains drop [Question]

Doing my settlement quest, botched the first walker because of sentinel interceptors royally annoying me and worked my way up to a Walker for half an hour to get to its wave. No brain. Not drop from the walker. I'm not attempting that again because quite frankly it is too much effort for a night of gaming that was supposed to be chill. Any thoughts?

#

Duplication Glitch [Bug]

I just came across a glitch I thought people here might be interested in before (if) they patch it - I restarted the expedition 6 bc I messed up one of the phase 1 milestones, but on this new save, I had a stack of vertex cubes in one of my starter ship's high-capacity cargo slots. I went to sell them at the space station terminal, and I received the units for it, but they weren't removed from my inventory, so I am able to continuously re-sell them. I haven't experimented with it in terms of whether it works with all items in the ship's cargo, or if it's just the vertex cubes (or if it's just this particular save or not) so if anyone else wants to try it and report back, it'd be interesting to see what the conditions are for this glitch to work.

Just Another Expedition FOMO Post [Discussion]

If I recall correctly, some expeditions contain rewards that are exclusive to these expeditions, like Normandy, or golden personal spacecraft, or many vanity items. If I also recall correctly, some time ago events were available for completing once again, making it up for those who missed out or wanted to redo them. What do you think, will there be more possibilities for getting this content, or we (lazy/busy/insert your case completionists) can just forget about getting these rewards (I am mostly bothered by Normandy, but this question is about any or all of them)

#

How do I activate the Rendezvous point for the Expedition? [Question]

I have reached Rendezvous 1 in the current expecition and there's nothing here, and it's not updating the quest. I can see the waypoint on my radar but when I stand directly on it, or run around in circles in the area, or fly my ship around it... Nothing changes. It just keeps saying to reach the point.

Did I do something wrong? Is there some activation condition I can't meet? Or am I simply bugged, and is there a fix for it? I did a lot of searching and haven't found any reports of this happening to people. If so, not many.

I would love some help, thanks.

Null the First Traveler mission Not working [Question]

I was doing the story mission Null the First Traveler but I got sidetracked and ended up leaving the system that it was in (I don't even rember what system it was.) The objective prompt says that the mission is out of my system and that I should consult the galaxy map. Nothing shows up in the galaxy map and I can't even restart the mission.

Any advice?

Will the expeditions return? [Question]

So unfortunately a family emergency has happened and I no longer have the time or the motivation to play through this and probably won't until after it's all over, both the expedition and the emergency.

Thank you for any advice you can give. Please hug your loved ones x

PS5 gets super hot super fast playing NMS [Discussion]

Whenever I try to play NMS on my PS5 it rapidly overheats. Some times it takes as little as ten minutes before the fans blow hard and I get the message and turn off the system to cool. I have tried cleaning my fans and everything, this is literally the ONLY game it happens with. I play a number of others with no issues all day long, FFXIV, Elden ring and plenty of others, streaming videos no issues etc... I have not tried playing on the PS4 game version instead of the PS5 version, I'm wondering maybe that would help/make a difference. I don't quite understand why this is the only game that sends my PS5 into overdrive lol

The Outlaws update feels like too much. [Discussion]

I'm stuck in underwater base building mode. [Question]

I was trying my hand at some base building I made a little outpost on one planet then decided to try my hand at an underwater base on an ocean planet.

It all went fairly well didn't have a ton of parts avaliable but it was functional and had lots of rooms, however I got irritated that I kept getting attacked by pirate ships overhead all the time because my ship was far away on an island so I went to try somewhere else.

I teleported to my old outpost and flew off to a rocky planet to build a base underground, found a good solid cave, placed my base computer and claimed it, but could only build underwater parts.

None of them except the cylindrical room would even build as it isn't under water, I tried warping back to my first base thinking maybe it was to deep and tricked the game into thinking it was underwater or something but still only underwater parts.

After some searches I tried reloading the game, I tried a full rest, I tried warping in and out of my underwater base to see if that would trigger it, I tried going out of the water and flying back to my other base instead of warping.

I even tried a freighter which switched it successfully to the freighter base builder but then when I went back to my above ground base still only underwater parts.

I'm out of ideas if anyone has one thanks.

This can't be intentional. [Bug]

Lately, I have been hooked on NMS. the only real problem was being attacked by sentinels EVERY TIME I come to my settlement.

However, all of the sudden I have been being attacked by high level space pirates every few minutes now. No matter where I am.

Plus, my minotaur station has been removed from my settlement now.

This can't be how the developers intend this to go!

Starting Over, Any Suggestions? [Question]

Hello world...

So I'm getting back into the game after having not been here for the four last big updates. I thought I'd load back into my old save and see what fun I could put my resources to... unfortunately hit a problem. Somewhere over all that time I've lost my save. It's just not there when I go to load it.

So I'll be starting over. I was really never keen on any of the expeditions as I've never really been fond of the barely staying alive stuck on one planet or in one solar system of the early game. I'm willing to trudge through the drudgery of it but I'd love some tips for getting back on my feet having the resources to decide precisely what I want and efficiently acquiring it. Any tips for quickly getting to the point of being able to run the Bio-Ship quest again would be exceptionally greatly appreciated.

#

Never done farming in this game before lol, looking to give it a try - anybody got any first time tips? [Question]

Sooo yeaah, been playing this game for like 3 years now and I've never once gotten into the farming side of things. xD Like the actual biodomes and plants and stuff...

But I thought about it today and I thought, hey, why not give it a go? It'd probably be helpful in like solving the oxygen and di-hydrogen crisis right? Cause if you just plant them in your base you can collect the resources instead of having to go scavenge on planets for the plants?

Cause yeah if that's how it works I wanna totally start getting into farming shit. xD

Anybody know how to get started there though? Beginner friendly advice?

#

Outlaws more annoying and frustrating than it is fun. [Discussion]

I know im going to get a lot of hate from this but i just got to say it.

I have been a NMS player since day 1 and am a huge fan of the game. However this Outlaws release has rubed me the wrong way.

NMS has been a chill and relaxing game for me where i would have a relaxing time building artwork bases for the HUB community and exploring.

what NMS has become now is a constant and annoying barrage of Hostile vectoring pirate ships bombing me while im out on planet, or a constant stream of in flight pirate attacks. i timed this too litterally every 4 to 8 minutes some pirate is attacking.

i know alot of people enjoy FPS and all the combat but to some of us its not really that fun.

there is alot of good in this release though the solar ships are cool and noticed some different planet details.

It would be very appreciated if there was an option to turn off the pirates or make a "peacefull" mode or at lease tone it down a bit.

Some other things that would be great improvements, more building pieces and parts, and better part snapping and alignment options.

Dont get me wrong i love this game, the only thing i do not like is the Frequency of the Pirate attacks. its just too much.

#

why does no mans sky take up ALL my memory now? [Bug]

This is a horrible issue that's happening since the recent update, before I could have over 50 tabs open and still run no mans sky easily. Since the update, I can't even have my browser open. it got to the point where it fucked up my pc where it was at a horrible resolution, zoomed in with everything shoved together on my screen, it crashes my other applications and screws so much up. This NEVER happened to me before the update. What is going on???

#

Should I switch to AMUMSS for mods? [Question]

Is there a good reason to be using AMUMSS for mods in place of the old fashion way? Should I start using it going forward, or are the .pak files just as good? I have never fully understood how it works but since I had to remove all my mods because of the update I was thinking about switching to .lua files once the mods are updated. Also, this is probably a dumb question but I was never sure of it. If a mod comes with both .pak files and .lua files do I need both, or just the .pak file if that's the method I'm using?

Thanks in advance for any advice! Mods in general are nothing new to me. I'm pretty experienced with using mods for NMS, The Sims, Stardew Valley, Project Zomboid, plus other games but AMUMSS seems intimidating, lol.

Low Orbit Frigate [Question]

I don''t have the blueprint for the Base Computer?? [Question]

Just as the title says. My wife and I are playing the new expedition together and neither of us can build the base computer, we just don't have the blueprint for it. I've looked everywhere I can think of. I checked the expedition rewards (a couple of them are coded so maybe the blueprint is in there), l check at the anomaly, I googled how to get the blueprint, no dice.

Is this a weird bug we're experiencing? Is the blueprint behind one of the rewards? Am I just being a massive dumbass and missing something obvious? Help a girl out. Please and thank you.

#

Performance Issues Help Please [Question]

I've gotten back into NMS after not playing for a few months. This is a freshly wiped PC (windows corrupted) so there was no previous version of NMS before reinstalling. I can play the game on all Enhanced graphics for 2-3 hours at a stable 75 fps no problem, but after that I start getting lag spikes and drops to 5 fps every 5 seconds or so. Happens more on planets but it's really weird that it only starts happening after about 2-3 hours (sometimes less though). Graphics drivers and things like that are all up to date. Any suggestions?

PC specs: i5 9400f 1650 super 16gb ram

Well within minimum specs

PSA about 'Under a Rebel Star' [Information]

I've seen a lot of messages about a particular problem occurring in 'Under a Rebel Star.' The problem happened to me, and here is how I was able to get it working again.

There is a stage in the mission where you go into space and are led to a busted-up derelict freighter, not one you can land on, but the sort with a couple of cargo pods that you shoot, and then the pirates show up.

After you destroy the cargo pods (and maybe do a scan), you're supposed to get a communicator message that leads you to a rendezvous point on a planet. But some people never get that messaage, and never get coordinates for the rendezvous point. I was one of those people.

I destroyed the cargo pods, and nothing, no communicator message. I did scans all around the derelict, nothing. Checked my galaxy map, I was supposedly in the right system. Landed, reloaded, nothing.

Went to another galaxy, tried to reset the mission - it wouldn't let me.

So my thought was, what if I get to another one of those derelict freighters where you're supposed to fight pirates? Will it trigger then?

So I went back to the system I had been in when I found the derelict freighter. I tried to see if there was one of those "fight the pirates" missions on the mission board - there wasn't.

Then I went back into space and shot some asteroids until I got an anomaly detector. The anomaly detector led me to a pirate broadcasting station. I destroyed the pirate broadcasting station, and I got the warning about pirates showing up, and THEN I got the message and the icon to go land on the planet. I am now happily continuing the quest line.

So my suggestion is: find a way to get to another one of those places where you're supposed to fight pirates - a derelict like you get from the fight pirates missions on the mission board, or find a pirate station anomaly. Shoot that stuff up, and you may well trigger the...

does anyone get frame drops a lot? [Question]

I have a ryzen 7 3700x And a rx5700 and get a lot of frame drops, has this been normal or should I be turning my settings down. Happens a lot when entering atmosphere too.

i kind of wish the first-person multi-tool had my hands holding it [Suggestion]

maybe as a setting at least? i don't know how possible it'd be, i'm obviously not a developer on the game, but i do think it would be nice

i know it would need multiple sets of animations for different multi-tool sizes and shapes, but i do think it would add to the sense of making an impact on the worlds i visit

PSA: Expedition 6 is not in Euclid! [Information]

Just so folks know… if you’re trying to use portal addresses or anything: you’re not in Jansas, er, Euclid, anymore!

Outlaws seems.. OP [Discussion]

I'll preface this by saying I know I'm going to get a lot of responses telling me that I'm looking at this the wrong way or "it's a sandbox if you don't like it then don't do it" but is anyone else finding the outlaw stations to be kind of OP? Black Market goods - Big part of the update, they seemed to go through some effort to create "risk" while your transporting these goods but you can literally just teleport around with them in your exosuit without ever entering space and sell them for a hefty profit? Suspicious Packets are crazy cheap, you can just buy them, open them, then sell them for nanites to the vendor right next to where you bought them?

Again, I get that it's a sandbox game and these aren't the only ways of printing money/nanites with no risk or effort, just kind of seems like a bit of an oversight. I was excited for the new stuff and the prospect of being a pirate but it just seems like I need to invent and impose my own limitations to make this enjoyable?

No Man's Sky not launching on Steam [Question]

I really want to play the game, but every time I try to launch it it stops. I even tried launching the game from the Steam app and the "play" button turns to "cancel" then "stop", but then it goes back to "play" and the game doesn't launch. I looked online and it said to update my graphics card and delete some files in the "GAMEDATA" folder, but that didn't work. Do any of y'all have any ideas that may work?

"Warning threat detected" 😳 [Discussion]

I've got bad luck, I quit playing for a bit because the sentinel update made the game unenjoyable (due to bugs). I came back and low and behold it was update day!

Now I am confronted with the same problem under new circumstances. (Yes the constant pirate raid)

I'm using time to progress through the galaxies, but I am bored with that.

A Trace of Metal help!!! [Discussion]

SO, ugh this one has been annoying and frustrating. I have most of this done and I am near the end. So, i used to have the issue with this where is you where on the ground of the mission planet, the mission icon would sent you to to space and vise versa. In space it would say to land on the surface. Well i think the last update fixed this only to create a new problem for my but to fix my buddies issue. My buddy had the same last issue.

In the same mission, well he did it first. You go to the coordinates, take out all the sentinels, access the terminals and thats pretty much it, or so he says. Mission complete. Well, i wish it was this simple for me. I could barely locate it in the Galaxy map but i did. i get to the planet and well, when you get to the surface it doesnt even show anything, but i do see the structure from the air so no harm no foul. I get there, take out a few sentinels, the 2 boxes and access the terminel. it says operation and secure. ok whatever. long story short. my buddy said there were 3 boxes so i follow the wires and i find the third one fuzed into a cave wall, whatever. clear it out and shoot it. still nothing, operational and secured. some post says to take out all the sentinels. take them out, more come, and more, and more, and more. it says something about suppression level 1, then 2 and so forth. then 5 comes and the panel you need to access sprouts legs and fires a laser at me and i die. SO, this treatment is literally the opposite of what happened to my buddy and everyone else in the youtube videos that i am watching. what do i do about this or do i just have to deal with it???

Paholiang Galaxy? We just got a new Galaxy released with this didn't we? [Discussion]

Absolutely loving that the Expedition ended by leaving Euclid Galaxy and ending up in a brand new Galaxy! I just looked over the galactic list of all 255 galaxies, Paholiang..... does not exist!!!

So keep a hold of this save until the Expedition is done, because I don't know if we're going to get access to this galaxy without having this save!

Outlaw Update: Waypoint Bug [Bug]

Since the new Outlaws update I have encountered a waypoint bug that I wanted to share. I just started a new mission at an Outlaw station. While I was traveling to the waypoint it had disappeared. I was looking around and found the same waypoint on a different planet. Once I started flying towards that waypoint it once again disappeared. It kept moving back and forth and I eventually just gave up. Hopefully this will get patched soon so I can play the game at it's best. Thanks Hello Games!

Question about creating terrain [Question]

To begin, new player. I wanted to have a subterranean base and so I made a cave in a hill, and the inevitable happened when the terrain reset. Whatever, not upset, I didn't lose much stuff. What i am curious about is if I were to create a whole cave system with the create tool instead of hollowing out a hill would the same thing happen?

In other words, if I was to find some flat terrain and then build a cave system where the was nothing but flat land would it all reset as well?

Can’t have more then 6 ships [Question]

Found an interesting bug tonight... [Bug]

Recently I acquired a Favorite Vision WT1 Class C with 42 slots and 4 cargo. With the new Outlaws update I found that any of the "illegal" items I acquire and stick into the cargo slots can be sold indefinitely (with diminishing profits) and it never actually removes it. Thus I can go to every single Space Station in every system and rinse and repeat.

Clearly this is a bug but I have no idea how to go about reporting it. I experimented and found it does it not just for illegal items but everything else as well. I recommend against doing this as the game is easy enough to make units without this bug.

the science of the sails [Discussion]

I'm kinda wondering how the science works with the sails on a starship that already goes forward using fuel instead of wind power 🤔 wouldn't the sails kinda make a ship move slow cause of resistance even though their is no air in space to cause resistance

Did they revamp Ship Mods? [Question]

Before the last update, while boosting through space my ship would travel at around 14k u/s. And while on planet it would reach 7k u/s while boosting. I was just traveling and noticed that while boosting on planet I was reaching 300 u/s and ~3k u/s in space... 🤔🤔

returning player, should I restart? keep going? [Question]

tried to play this game a few times just never really stuck with it for long. last time was like 2 yrs ago, and I've never made it very far. I have been to a few systems, gotten to the anomaly. when I played last I didn't really do anything besides steal a bunch of scorpion eggs or something and bought an s class fighter

been getting back into it lately and was wondering if it was worth restarting? I heard something about an expedition?

also what does a general progression path looks like? Do I recredit grind to get a freighter and then outfit it with npcs? Any insight appreciated.

Do I need to start a new game? [Question]

I'm a returning player, last time I played was shortly after expeditions were introduced.

I think I started my save on the second expedition "universe".

I enjoy the game but I don't really want to go through the whole early stages again. Is there a reason why I would or should start a new save now that a lot more content has released?

Once I get all those glyphs … [Question]

After that, what’s the quick way to find a portal? Do you guys establish a teleport point near a glyph portal for easy travel?

I’ve put hours into this game but there’s a lot I don’t know. Any cool tips or advice would help a lot

#

Advice / cool tips? [Question]

I’ve put a lot of hours into this game but never really got too deep into the advanced stuff.

After a bit of a break, I’ve come back.

Could you guys share any cool advice or tips that you learned after a while ? Or cool little tidbits that beginners don’t know.

Maybe even things that you do when you get on, motivations, how to find different kinds of planets

Any advice will help! Really looking forward to coming back to this game

Rendezvous 5 [Question]

So I went to rendezvous 5 and clicked on it, but then decided to finish something else of first. So now I can’t find the rendezvous point again. Nor the portal that will take me to the center of the galaxy.

Is there a way to find it again? Crafting the pirate map again doesn’t seem to have any effect and I really can’t jump 700 times to finish the expedition. It’s the last missing bit.

I hope anyone can help. Thank to you all.

can the golden first spawn battle mask really not be worn by the gek? [Question]

i just want to confirm i am not missing something. i never really messed with quick silver so i hadn't gotten the normal first spawn battle mask, but i saw that i could unlock the golden variant from a twitch drop. the problem is i went to equip it on my gek and it just wasn't available. i mean it is a helmet designed for geks so i just figured it would be there...

Help for a new player! What is worth buying in the beggining? [Question]

Hello my fellow explorers

Got the game a few days ago and want to do a few thing.

The first thing i did it was stock some money, have around 1mil right now, i wanted to change my multi itool and ship because i don't like the lack of space on them.

My questions are:

Is the riffle worth it as a multi tool? I saw that you cant mine with it(?)

Can you have more than one multi tool at time? Saw that in the menu and was confused, that gave me the ideia to have one for mining and one for combat

Now, about ships.

What class is good for the early game? I heard about the Shuttle, but i really like some fighting.

Any other tips?

300 hours in.... [Discussion]

300 hours in and I was getting a little bored, and then I figured out how to start the expedition...yeah I'm a noob.

Being thrown back to having NOTHING was a little bit of a shock, I forgot how tough it was at the beginning and now it is a little more challenging since they don't give you what they did at the beginning of normal mode...

Really digging this game.

Starship Combat Autopilot, for PC console? [Question]

Has anyone successfully gotten their new starship combat autopilot to work?

Apparently the Activation Toggle is mapped to ^ trackpad, and are to Change Targets, but I do not notice any auto-aiming being triggered or scripted when I do so. Anyone else have suggestions?

Help with Expedition #6 [Question]

So, I've been wondering how people are able to finish expeditions so quickly? I've seen people complete expeditions in 3-5 hours. If anyone knows are there any glitches to get further in this expedition quicker, along with good ways for nanites early on (Asking because to repair the freighter you need nanites to unlock the upgraded anti-matter cell thing) as well as quick units. Any help is greatly appreciated. Any other tips for this expedition could also be useful, ranging from when you first spawn in to the final stages. Thank you!

The Black Market Items are Bugged, Buyers Beware [Bug]

I wish I knew how to record my gameplay so i can demonstrate, but just know that the items aren't working as they should. Based on my gameplay they are either: Selling for less than they are worth in legal zones (You lose units for this)

Spoiler ahead for people that don't want to potentially ruin the NMS experience for themselves. “>!” Selling as intended, but the game will not remove them from inventory upon selling items (infinite unit loop.) “! <”

I don't know if its only exclusive to me, or if other people are experiencing this issue. Recreating it leads to either of these outcomes and the black market item does not seem to matter. The system I am in seems to consistently contribute, but I would need more testing to find out.

Rendezvous 5 bug? [Question]

Did everything except for the treasure hunt mission and got sent into another galaxy, used a station portal to go back to the last galaxy and now i have been warping for 2 hours trying to reach the destination, did i do something wrong?

#

I tripped into an infinite money bug [Bug]

I just started the expedition today. I’m on my way to the 2nd rendezvous point and I raised some freighters for some quick cash. I went to the space station to sell my goods and I noticed that every time I sold something I got the money but the items stayed in my inventory.

Normally I’d feel bad about cheating to get loads of free money, but the only reason I’m doing this expedition is for the cape so if this gets me it faster than I’m ok with it.

Base Computer Archives - stuck (PC) [Question]

Endless loop of your base computer is another system - but when I go to the teleporters at any space station, there isn’t any base icon. I don’t have any idea what station the base is even in.

Newbie here, infinite units glitch by accident? [Bug]

Hey guys just started playing today. I built my first base and decided to explore more and found the weird ship in space that has scrap dealer Avdi in it. Anyway I started selling stuff and sold some Grahberry. I received about 16k units for it but the grahberry wasn't removed from my inventory. I sold it again and again and next thing you know I have a million units. So I got the entrepreneur milestone too lol. Not sure if this is a common glitch or not just thought I'd share.

Help! My photos no longer have glyphs [Question]

This has been a problem since at least Frontiers.

In photo mode, the glyphs are on the screen. However, they are never on the resulting photo no matter how I take the picture (in-game shutter, F12, or printscreen).

In fact, F12 and printscreen no longer even work in NMS. F12 does nothing, printscreen clips my desktop etc, not the game itself.

I've never changed any settings, and I can't find any setting that helps. Should I play in windowed mode?

I'm kind of losing my mind over it, because being able to easily share ships and fauna is the main thing I like to do in this game. Help!

Pirate attacks on settlement every 5minutes and at trading posts is actually kinda annoying... [Discussion]

My current home base is on a mountain overseeing my settlement, so since new update I've had to avoid staying there a prolonged period of time due to my settlement being targeted by pirates every 5minutes. Now I'm sitting in a trading post fishing for qualified squadron members with solar ships, and pirates every 5mins or less....anyone else finding this annoying? It upsets all the nearby ships so they join in the fight making it hard to scout out 3 more potential squadrons.

Ship cargo selling glitch [Meme]

I noticed that things in my ships cargo didn’t leave the cargo when I sold them to the store at the space stations. I’ve used this to cheese about 900,000,000 units so far.

Infinite Units and Nanites Glitch [Bug]

Idk if this has been discussed yet, but if you put anything into the cargo hold of the ship and then go to a trader to sell, you can infinitely sell that item without losing any of that said item (the only downside is losing value) allowing you to gain infinite funds. (Sorry for bad grammar)

#

How are you finding glyphs during the expedition? [Discussion]

I like to take my time during expeditions, find a ship that I like, find a nice multi-tool, etc. I know it's possible to burn through an expedition with the starting gear, but is isn't an enjoyable experience for me.

That said, I'm not seeing very many traveller NPCs in space stations, leading me to graves and glyphs. Is this still the quickest method? I really just need the first two glyphs to get started.

Thanks all!

Solar ship won't launch [Bug]

To cut to the chase, I got a super nice solar ship, and spent a lot of units and materials on upgrades and such, only to discover that it won't take off from planet surfaces. It takes off fine from space stations and landing platforms, but when I try to launch from a planet surface it tells me my launch thrusters are empty, which is a load of bs, They're fully charged, and I've got both efficient thrusters and a launch system recharger so the chances of not having enough power to simply get off the ground are slim to none. I'd like to know what's causing this because I absolutely adore this new ship to the point where my squid is going to be collecting dust in my capital ship's hangar.

Pirates Feel Overtuned Now. [Discussion]

Been trying to play the new expedition but the constant pirate spawns are making it just un-fun.

I'm aware that the spawns will be toned down in the future, but that doesn't fix that I feel they're pretty overtuned in terms of stats. In the starter ship for the expedition, I almost died during the freighter attack. They drop your shields ridiculously fast, and since shields take forever to recharge I just didn't have shields the entire fight. Meanwhile, THEIR shields recharge after like 3s. It's stupid lol.

I bee-lined straight to the anomaly to get the Golden Vector, but even the Vector gets molly-whopped by a few pirates. So far I haven't actually died because their AI is still awful, but it's been really touch and go.

I realize pirates were always kind of a joke, but this is totally on the opposite end of the spectrum. I'm pretty decent at space combat, so if I'm barely surviving, I can't even imagine being a new player.

Trouble with the LIBERATION task in Exp6/Phase 1 [Question]

So I've completed everything up to phase 5 that you can complete without unlocking the liberation quest chain. Problem is that I've rescued over 30 freighters so far, bought 7 of them (swapping them as I go) and still have not had the dialog with the captain that's supposed to drop the liberation item. I've been warping around in circles for 4 hours. Of course ever streamer gets it on the very first try so youtube is no help at all. What is going on?

#

You Can Customise Your Squadron [Suggestion]

You can choose the 4 ships, granted they're different types of ships, to your squadron of 4.

Fly to a spacestation or your freighter with the ship you want to add, then buy a random ship using your ship as payment.

Then proceed back to your ship and recruit the new owner of it!

You could probably make a manual save at freighter and restart until S class

The future of NMS weapons - laser swords perhaps? [Discussion]

Now that we can look like a badass space assassin with a cape and hooded helmet, all were missing is an epic laser sword to melee enemies down with. Thought the real question becomes, would it even be allowed? Does Disney/star wars own the copyright to a laser sword design? Or would it just take some kind of different design to make it not look like a lightsaber or SAO's laser sword to be alright? I would love to go around slashing sentinels down with a laser sword or 2 dual wielded like a space assassin.

Activating quest portal on really hostile planet [Question]

Hi wondering if I can get some help. I am working through the Atlas path and need to activate I think the 2nd portal. The only thing is its on a massively hostile planet; aggressive sentinels that attack as soon as I leave my ship, super hot extreme weather so I'm constantly losing life support. I can't even check what I need to activate the portal because I'm attacked so constantly.

Does anyone have any tips for this? Am I just kinda boned in that I've got unlucky in where it's spawned?

Absolutely hate the new update [Discussion]

I turned the game off i less than 30 minutes and am considering never playing again, and I've had it since release.

I reluctantly put up with all the fighting that's been added, and the way you can't even get some items/tech without fighting, but now I can't even coast around a planet while I do stuff for my kids without being attacked repeatedly.

Loved this game for letting me just leave without anything happening while I'm gone while I took care of my kids. Now, I can't.

Plus, I hate fighting games in general and never play them. I never would have bought another copy a couple months ago if I had know this mess was in the works.

I'm so angry my chill exploration game has been turned into...this disaster thanks to a bunch of whiners who kept demanding more and more fighting in an EXPLORATION game.

The solar ships are pure ear destruction. [Question]

And I don't mean that in a good way. I've had audio bugs in NMS since I started playing it a few years ago, but my god I actually cannot use them, they're that loud. Is there some kind of way to fix this outside of drastically lowering game volume?

#

Dear HG I appreciate the expeditions but... [Discussion]

Okay, so let's talk community expeditions. I've been playing NMS since the beginning and I know that these are supposed to be like this "pimped out" community research thing, you've put a lot of work into them, and it's fun to have something fresh in the game, a seasonal event where everyone can partake, where everyone visists the same planets on their way to the goal. And if you missed one of these? No problem, they've just made the time to complete each expedition longer, and even made a re-run of the older expeditions some time ago, so you can't complain that HG is unfair with these being timed events.

That said, The Blighted is the sixth expedition and I can see, you're trying to make it fresh and modify it, by giving us expedition-exclusive items (the pirate maps), by making one of the milestones encrypted until we get to a certain point, by finally having sort of a storyline to the expedition (which is more engaging than the Outlaw mission BTW).

But by now I can feel that expeditions are NOT a good idea. When expedition 5 came I saw a similar post on Reddit and thought to myself: "well, that's not true", but after playing more and more I found myself irritated with the expedition mode more than anything, and here's why: Why do we have to start a new save to go on an expedition? This boggles me from the moment HG announced expeditions were a thing. The good news is that all your achieved rewards are redeemable across all other saves, but it's so annoying to have to start over EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. On my regular save I have all the warp upgrades installed but noooo you have to make it an expedition milestone to reach a red, green and blue star system, thus forcing me to go through all the trouble of getting the nanites to get the blueprint to get the materials to get the upgrades for my warp drive on this ship which I'm gonna forget about after the expedition...

#

You can get raided outside of a building or settlement! [Information]

I was walking on a freezing planet to collect frost crystals. All of the sudden this came up on my screen "Attack vessels detected". I thought that it must surely be a bug since the patch notes described settlements and buildings. Shortly after, I saw 3 ships with red trails fly over a hill. They all started shooting at me taking down my shields in about 4 seconds. I had to run to a nearby cave and hide deep below so I could recover my shields. My adrenaline was boosted even further by the fact that I could hear the muffled sound of bullets hitting the ground.

I hope this isn't a bug because honestly I think it's a brilliant feature (it should probably get toned down a little though). This moment has been able to give me a feeling I don't think I've had before and I think no man's sky really needed.

I remember seeing a video long before I started playing No Man's Sky, around 2 years ago.

For some very wierd reason my camera in-game is at stomach-height instead of default-height or eye-level. How can i fix this? I have tried changing the camera level in control options and it doesnt change at all. I have tried restarting the game with no luck... FOV is certainly not the problem.

Dear Hello Games… [Suggestion]

Please remove planetary pirate raids as a feature. As it currently stands, the feature does not work as intended and most of us are getting bombarded every 5-10 minutes. Though even if it were less frequent, this feature does nothing to improve the game. The last thing I want when I’m vibing out and walking around on a planet during my survival mode play through is to constantly waste launch fuel to get back into my ship and kill NPCs for a measly reward. If I’m on foot, I do not want to fight starships. Let this thread serve as an open petition for others who feel the same.

Xbox to PC - Twitch rewards [Question]

Hi everyone!

I've been playing NMS on Xbox. In a few months, I'll be getting a new computer and want to start playing on PC. I know I can't transfer the save files, and I'm not worried about that - I'm quite happy to start exploring the universe from scratch.

I am concerned about my Twitch rewards. Will I be able to access these on the PC version of the game? For example, if I unlink NMS Twitch drops from my Xbox account, will I lose the ones I've earned, or will they transfer to the newly linked PC (Steam) account?

I've tried Googling this, but I only get answers about save data. I'm hoping someone here might be able to provide some information.

No man’s sky won’t launch steam [Bug]

So I bought no man’s sky the other day excited to play. And it won’t launch. I click play on steam and it says it’s running. 30 seconds passes and it hangs and crashes no error message just gives me the play button again.

Any thoughts.

Technology Slots. [Question]

I'm currently reloading a save for a certain class ship and managed to get it but it only has two rows of tech slots, if I keep trying may I get threes rows? Is it possible?

#

Space station vendor for ship mods [Question]

Not home right now or else I’d just test this. For the vendors on the stations, does reloading the save regen the items you’ve bought?

Specifically, can I buy an S-class hyperdrive mod, install it on the ship, auto save, then reload on the station to purchase another one from the vendor without it being grayed out?

Camera/movement issues [Question]

I've just logged on to the new update, and I swear my camera movement in first person does not look as smooth as it was! Anyone got any idea how to fix this?

#

Illegal goods not selling for listed price [Bug]

I'm experiencing this bug where I'll buy illegal goods in a outlaw system, then go to another system to sell it. However when I sell it I actually lose a small amount of money. For example I bought 1.5m worth of illegal goods. I went to another system and it said the payout was about 3.4m. When I sold the goods I only made 1.4m, resulting in a net loss of 100k. Does anyone know whats going on and how to fix it?

#

VR (Quest 2) more jittery since 3.85? [Bug]

I was playing the update via wired Occulus Link last night and the frame rate was dropping intermittently, I’d periodically lose controls of the ships and flying in general was a lot more tricky. VR play across any games can be unreliable when connected to the PC, but curious to know if other have seen an impact in NMS? I often see post release patches for NMS address VR issues, so this release may need balancing too.

#

Galaxy for Expedition 4 ("Emergence")? [Question]

I keep a log of the system coordinates for each star system that I encounter, including which galaxy they are in. I--naively--assumed that all of the expeditions took place in Euclid, but at least as of expedition 6, that's not true.

I deleted my expedition 4 character, so I can't find out myself. Does anyone know what galaxy the original expedition 4 took place in? (Just in case the shortened EOY re-run took place in a different galaxy.)

Salvaged frigate modules? [Question]

Hey, so ive seen a lot of videos were people raid other freighter to get the modules, but i just cant seem to find them, they always have just the other stuff in them. And yes i am checking every container, space pod that their is. Is it restricted to a certain type of galaxy with more rare Freighters or do i just have to look for more?

PS: Excuse my bad english

Accidently Named a planet. [Question]

So I finally found a system that's perfect for me and when trying to rename my home planet I accidently accepted the default planet name as I was alt-tabbing back into the game. I'm now blocked from naming it anything and was wondering if this is permanent or if there's a way I can rename the planet again.

#

Has anyone else lost speed and maneuverability in the new update? [Question]

I used to get over 300 in-atmo with my fighter, and now it's stuck at something like 150. Even boosted I can barely get above 200, whereas 350+ was easy before. I can't seem to turn as well, which is necessary considering we get attacked about every 4 minutes.

On top of that, do ship shields not ever recharge on their own? Even the pirates have that, and I'm pretty sure we used to as well. There's a lot of fun stuff in this update, but it seems like there's some busted shit too.

#

Pirate Attack Bug :( [Discussion]

So i’ve only racked up about 24 hours of playtime in No Man’s Sky but the Outlaw update was enough to get me to start playing so much more

I was doing the Dreams Of The Deep quest and was swimming to the sunken ship and oh my god i was just obliterated constantly by pirate attacks

long story short i had to go to another galaxy to repair my terrain manipulator to try and get my items back but they despawned

ive lost all my carry on storage luckily a lot is still in my ship and freighter but damn this bug needs patching soon

#

Please let us turn off communication stations, or at least their markers [Suggestion]

Communication stations are infuriating. Starting any expedition now means just dealing with dozens of markers cluttering your view and flooding the compass. Finding your ship marker on the compass while on a planet is sometimes impossible. And they're all for stations that are literally hours away. Rendezvous points are just a flood of messages that I frankly do not care about.

Please, just make it an option to enable or disable them in your session. I don't even care if it defaults to on, I'll take the time to turn them off.

#

Losing money on Outlaw Trades? [Question]

I tried trading contraband, buying out all the stock from an outlaw station and reselling to a rich station, but despite the numbers all appearing to be very favorable, I still ended up losing 6 million units total, starting with 438m and then buying, warping, and selling, ending with 432m. It doesn't look like it gave me all the units it was supposed to when I sold. Is that a bug? Did I just math wrong? It said my sell prices were +160%

#

What’s new? Haven’t played since living ships…. [Question]

Game Freezing every few seconds [Bug]

Hey everyone, so I bought the game on PS5 back in July 2021, and everything was great, until around November, I started noticing that every 7 to 8 seconds, the game would freeze for about half a second, which would make it unplayable. I tried creating a new world, and even factory resetting the PS5 a few weeks ago (March 2021), but this bug is still there. Any solutions?

#

Mod to increase the distance between planets [Question]

I know the answer will probably be no, but is there a mod to increase the distance (at least visually) between the various planets? Coming out of the atmosphere and seeing a huge planet occupying the sky not far from the one I just left leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

Gameplay, travel times and everything would remain the same, but I want the freedom to observe the sky and see that red dot get bigger as I get closer. Is it vaguely possible?

Infinite nanite bug/exploit [Bug]

Buy an upgrade module. Put upgrade module into starship cargo tab Sell module from starship tab.

When selling from the starship cargo tab the module stays in the inventory allowing you to make infinite nanites from 1 upgrade module

Bonus : add multiple modules with the same name into starship cargo tab for extra efficiency

S class rate increase? [Discussion]

Anyone else ship hunting notice that S class ships are spawning really often since Outlaw? Sometimes I'll get 2-3 per spawn rotation. Not complaining, it makes ships hunting not such a painful slog, but it seems like such a drastic change I just wonder if it's intentional.

Recent Updates Could Be Coming in Parts (my theory) [Discussion]

Roughly a month ago, Sentinel Update was released, which massively improved Sentienel combat on planets. Just this past Wednesday, Pirates, and space combat, was overhauled. Now... What's next?

I have a couple reasons why these past two updates were generally part of one massive updatge, with more content hidden from us, but Sean knows it's too big for some devices, so he's splitting it into smaller parts.

First off, increased planet combat, followed closely by increased space activity, could possibly mean that something big is coming on the horizon. Sentinel space combat was updated by sentinels attacking would-be smugglers, but there would be no way to stop the sentinels from attacking in space until you take them onto a planet and disable it that way.

Maybe a potential future update could update sentinel space combat by having different sentinel ships, and taking down the Sentinel Mothership at SWL 5 can disable Sentinels in the ENTIRE system (planets included) for a short amount of time. Since bases and settlements can be attacked by pirates now, a future update can involve bases and settlements having automatic defense systems, such as turrets, or other defensive systems.

I wanna hear about you guys. Are these two recent updates part of a giant update that is being split? Should Sentinel space combat be updated, and should base have self-defense systems?

#

Question for those who've fully upgraded a fighter's new cargo storage [Question]

How many slots did yours max out at?

The reason I ask is because of a discrepancy between the Golden Vector on two different saves.

I upgraded my normal save's existing GV the day the update dropped and it stopped at 21 slots.

When I started the expedition yesterday I got my GV as soon as I was able to get into the anomaly and the cargo storage on that was far in excess of 21 slots. Some still need storage augmentations to open but it looks like it will be 48 slots if I max it out.

So I'm confused as to what the number of slots is actually supposed to be, hence my question.

#

How do i fix a potentially corrupted save? [Bug]

Greeting. I recently tried to enter my normal save that was made earlier this month . As soon the game is done loading and the space anomaly is loaded the game immediately crashes. I was able to enter the settings (staying inside the settings menu for more than 5 seconds causes another crash) by spamming the escape key as soon the game loads suspecting it was a graphic’s issue but loading another new save runs flawlessly. Trying to load the manual save i created a day ago also causes a crash.

Any tips would be extremely appreciated.

Where I can cancel outlaw Quest? [Question]

I have a problem.. a big big problem. I accepted the outlaw quest and jumped arround and now I don't know who this stupid quest "coordinate" are.

So how can I cancel this quest or teleport in the quest galaxy? Should I start a new game and delete over 300h Gameplay?

What kind of stupid quest mechanic is this...

Play NMS in 2022. [Information]

I haven't plated the game since launch and I've seen all the updates they've added but never had the chance to start playing again. I've decided to give a shot now though but I'm afraid of all these changes!

Any recommendation to help me not get so overwhelmed with all the stuff?

#

Critical Glitch - Please fix! [Bug]

There's an infinite money glitch which is caused by the extra cargo slots of a starship. I'm PS4, but this could be the case in other devices!

How to replicate: Place an item (of high value) in the extra cargo slot of your starship. Go to a space station terminal or any other terminal where you can sell from your starship (this is also the case with NPCs) Sell the item which is in the extra cargo storage slot. You'll see it sold, but the item won't actually disappear. You can sell this forever, although it does lose value.

I think this is a problem in the code where when selling the item from the extra cargo slot, it doesn't have code to remove the item, but this is just speculation.

This was posted on the 15th of April, 2022 so it might be fixed by the time you read this.

#

For those new to Expeditions. [Information]

Important bits of information I feel like alot of people might not know as I have come across it several times in game.

1.) For the Cadmium Drive. You can go to the nexus and get the starship variant for your starship not your freighter and it only costs Chromatic Metal to build instead of Cadmium. Then you can get the Cadmium for your Freighter drive and build that.

2.) You can complete steps for different phases early. Trying to get a Warp Hypercore or whatever I went to a Green system and it trigger that phase complete, so if you see gravtino balls early on complete the milestone.

3.) You want to get to Level 5 sentinel danger and win to get your wallet brain, and your sentinel tower and a chance to steal that precious tool.

4.)Nexus missions can be reset by going in and out again, with a chance at valuable items you might need for building things or progrssing. My first trip to the nexus got me a warp hyperbole.

5.) Ask for help, alot of us are willing to help just hope into the chat and ask NMS probably has one of the most helpful communities I've ever seen.

I'm sure there's more but these are some of the most recurring things I've seen since the expedition started.

#

Patience is a Virtue! (re: updates/patches) [Suggestion]

I see a lot of people kvetching about "I'm quitting because of this update" etc etc and I'm here to politely tell y'all to quiet yourselves down if that mentality applies to you.

Unless YOU are a software dev and YOU want to spend YOUR time fixing the issues, in which case go ahead - but if that's not the case, be patient. Pick up another game for a few days to a week.

This happens on almost every major version update since I've been playing (late January). Patches will come to address the pirate overspawn issue etc. Mods will get updated (hopefully, I suspect some of them may just not get updated anymore which personally I'll have to live with). Everything will be okay in time.

If you really want to complain, downgrade the game to the Day 1 launch version or anything before 2018 version, but otherwise, please just have some patience. Look at HG/Sean Murray's track record of fixing the game thus far. See how far they've come? Okay good. Now have some faith they'll address these issues too.

A question about saved games in NMS [Question]

When a new version of the game like Sentinel or Outlaws is released, do you continue your saved game or start a new game? When I updated from Expeditions Revisited to Sentinel and continued my save, I experienced a lot of lag, especially when rendering the world. I don't know how this game tolerates saves between big updates. The Sentinel update probably requires a better GPU, I don't know, I got back to Expeditions Revisited after that.

Also, does anyone play this game with a GTX 1050? How does the game run for you? I have to set everything to minimun but I still get lag spikes sometimes.

Expedition 6: Getting to Galactic Core [Question]

Hey all!

I was just about to finish Expedition 6 when I had to head back to my Freighter to do the Enlistment bit. Unfortunately, I now can't seem to find the final Rendezvous system to use the station transporter to get back to. Could someone remind me what the name of the system right before the Galactic Core is?

Thanks!

How's the multiplayer experience in April 2022? [Question]

I'm looking for a co-op game to play with my friends where the game could recognize each players progress if they play individually (like Dying Light and Borderlands).

No Man's Sky looks REALLY interesting to me, but I saw on older threads around 6 months ago that the multiplayer experience is still a bit wonky. Is it better now?

Expedition 6: Blighted Freighter issue [Question]

I've been making my way through Expedition 6 and have gotten to the 'Blighted Freighter' section where the player has to track down a crashed freighter and get into it's cargo/distress beacon.

Well... mine spawned here, in a volcano. All the cargo pods are in the volcano, so I can't seem to dig to them (the volcano rock can't be manipulated). Am I just screwed? Am I missing something?

Totally confused what to do.

Mission Agent Issue [Question]

Having issues with the Space Station Mission Agent. AI is Vy’keen, standing is 7/9 so shouldn’t be the issue.

New save, haven’t been able to do missions at all from Mission Agent in Space Stations. When interacting, text says

“The life form gestures apologetically. Their exact meaning is unclear, but it is apparent that there is no work for me here.”

I’m fairly early in this save (just warped to second system) but I feel like in previous saves I was able to take side missions earlier than this. I’m assuming I just need to progress further but wondering if anyone knows exactly what’s going on.

Thanks!

#

Help with Blighted Expedition — Am I missing something? [Question]

Hi Interlopers and Pirates!

Been playing since January of this year. Expedition #6, Blighted, is my third attempt at starting a new save game. Previously, there was always an Awakenings mission that eventually got you a base computer, allowing you to build bases. I used this to get refiners to create currency: first cobalt, then chlorine, and so on.

But in the first few hours of Blighted, I don't see the Awakenings mission appear. Just the one for the freighter. I launched my ship into space, and didn't get any message to track down, etc.

Am I missing something?

Scrapping Ship Bug [Bug]

I’m not sure if anyone else has experienced this, but it just ruined all my hard work and makes me not want to play for a bit. Was in a Outlaw Station with my Solar Ship looking for X class upgrades for fun and another S Class Solar Ship lands. I buy and scrap it since I’m still working on getting all my inventory slots full for my new ship. So I scrap the ship and for whatever reason it always pulls my starting ship as my new replacement current ship, which I hate and wish would change to just having the ship disappear and I’d still be in my current ship. I hop back into my Solar ship to switch back and I think I did it too fast, because now my Solar Ship is exactly like my starting ship. I lost so many good tech upgrades since I stupidly jumped out of the ship and created a new save. I had 2 X class upgrades with over 290 light year range and extra fuel efficiency on them. So many hours of work yesterday down the drain for a ship that I really liked. Anyone else have this happen to them?

#

Would anyone want to possibly connect for co-op? [Question]

Hello there.

So I’m in the middle of a From Soft library playthrough and I decided to purchase NMS as a more chill experience as I need to take breaks from all the frustration of dying in Soulsborne games lol.

Played for a bit last night and I’m enjoying it thus far but I have a feeling that the NMS experience would be enhanced with a friend or two to play with.

I’m not necessarily looking to play NMS everyday/night as the From Soft games are my main games atm but I do plan on playing at least twice a week to have a more chill/relaxing night and I was wondering would anyone else be down?

I’m an introvert until I get to know you better and I plan on consuming marjiuana to enhance the vibe while I play so if you’re okay with those things and are still down please let me know!

Ive been gifted billions of units but I’m not sure what to do. [Question]

So I was just in the anomaly checking things out and I was goofing around with another player. All of a sudden I’m being spammed with items by them. When I checked out what it was it said starship AI valve.

Now, I’ve not played the game that much so I figured it was junk.

Nope.

About 1.2 BILLION worth of items just handed to me.

I’m of course pretty dumb founded and excited but also confused.

I understand it’s a pretty nice position to be in, but I’ve not really played the game enough to understand how to make my own money and build my self up.

I’m also aware that the key currency for upgrades etc is Nanites which I only have about 4K of.

I guess what I’m trying to ask is, where do I go from here?

I’ve got a freighter already with a few frigates but upgrading everything is requiring currency I don’t have so I think I’d like to find a good way to earn nanites and other upgrade currencies for my freighter.

I hope this doesn’t come across as ungrateful or anything, I am super thankful and when I can do I’ll try my best to pay it forward.

Thank you !

Holy feacium what is this game epic [Discussion]

(This just a rant from an enthousiastic newbe. These are just some random thoughts blurting out here, so don't expect a nice built up story)

I have the game for over a year now and never felt like playing it. I installed it and never touched it.

Last week I decided I would give it a go. I didnt read up on the game and went in completely blind. To be honest..I thought it would be some kind of Spores mixed together with a storyless subnautica.

Man... what was I wrong. The game is so complex and large! I had to play the tutorial phase for over 15 hours before I got to the anomaly and I still experienced only a fraction of all the mechanics and content.

After I repaired my broken ship and flew out of the atmosphere for the first time, I was surprised by 3 pirates who blew me out of the sky. I didn't even know there were pirates and space battles in the game! I laughed joyfully as my ship exploded and I lost all my progress. I also didnt know you could visit space stations or settlements. So I was amazed when I flew in the first space station. I play the game with my vr headset had it was stunning to fly into the landing lane of the ship. When I visited my second planet I was awestruck of how original the scenery was.. the surprises just keep adding up! There is so much to do and to experience. I'm completely baffled by it. Hence, this rant haha.

I guess things eventually become repetitive, after I visit several dozens of other alien worlds or so, but these first impressions will not be forgotten.

Can't wait to spend countless of hours throwing my time away on this game haha.

Thank you listening to my TED talk. ;)

Be careful of buying and scrapping ships - it can glitch [Bug]

this happened twice to me today - I was camping at one of the new pirate space stations when I bought a random s class ship to scrap it right at the station. However once I scrapped it, one of my existing ships got randomly replaced by the ship I just scrapped. The main ship I flew into the station prior also glitched and shared the same stats/inventory slot as one of my solar ships wich got flagged as my main ship after I scrapped the s class. Reloading the auto save does NOT fix it - the only way to fix it is to reload a earlier manual save that isnt glitched.

I do not know if the glitch is related to the new stations, ship class or scrapping in general but if you plan to grind modules by scrapping make sure to make manual saves often in the case anything goes wrong. Cheers guys!

Expedition 6: finding rendezvous 3 [Information]

I got sidetracked from the expedition path - after the anomaly shot me out in a blue star system, and I stayed for the badge - and I now appear to be very, very far away from where I was.

I’ve made about 18 warps and don’t seem to have got anywhere near where I was (it’s my first expedition, so I didn’t know whether the next rendezvous would respawn based on local systems like some missions).

What’s the best/quickest way to get back to the region of the galaxy I need to be in?

Does anyone else want base defenses? [Suggestion]

Now that we have pirates that routinely attack land-based structures, wouldn't it be cool if we had stuff like turrets (ai or manned, doesn't matter to me) to defend our bases in the late game? Especially because I know that my personal shield isn't enough for passing ships to not just smite me with their guns. Or maybe a base mounted signal jammer or cloaking device to stop pirates from detecting your base? Clearly these things would be expensive in terms of resources, but it would be a cool addition.

Can't progress Ghosts in the Machine mission, multitool trader shows as in the space station, but when I land in the station it shows as planetside and keeps switching back and forth [Bug]

I'm doing the Ghosts in the Machine quest for Apollo but can't continue.

I have to visit a multitool technology merchant.

I completed two previous objectives: "Install Apollo's Personal Forcefield" and "Collect Nanites to buy Technology Upgrades".

I'm stuck on the "Visit a multitool technology trader in a Vy'keen system". The specifics say "Locate the multitool merchant on the galaxy map". It shows as it being in my current system, although it is a Korvax system. If I warp to a close by Vy'keen system, the objective says it is located in another system and galaxy map shows the same Korvax system.

In that system, planetside at my base, the icon on the HUD says the objective is off-planet, so I pulse drive to it and it's in the space station, but when I land on the space station, the HUD icon shows that it's on-planet. If I exit the station it points me again to go back in.

This system is now pirate controlled, which has changed the station layout, not sure if that has something to do with it.

99% FPS low with Ultrawide Resolution [Question]

Hi!

I have a Ryzen 5800X, 32GB RAM and RTX 2060 SUPER on a 3440x1440 Monitor.

At very low settings I get around 140 FPS.

I noticed that when I choose a resolution of 2560x1440 or 1920x1080 (16/9) I get a very good 99% low FPS of around 120 FPS but when I choose 3440x1440 it goes down to around 35 FPS while my overall Framerate doesn't drop much (around 120 FPS).

Is there any explanation or fix for that ?

trying to get a solar ship and not sure if I'm doing it right [Question]

So, I decided to spend some time at a trading terminal, to get a solar ship I wanted, but every minute there are pirates attacking the station. I'm not sure if it's ok for me to leave the port and fight them or not, but it seems like I have too because no ships land when there's a fight happening. What am I supposed to do?

#

Help! [Question]

So, I was looking around my base and decided to use my teleporter and noticed that all of the space stations I've every explored are pirate controlled. Is this normal and is there a way to fix this?

No Man's Sky: Outlaws - Pirate Attack Timing Data [Information]

so, with this update we all know it's not perfect, but, I'm hoping with my testing I'll be able to clear up some of what we've been trying to figure out. the timing of the pirate attacks is something I decided to test, and I figured I'd post the results here. I spent enough time to record occurrence of 5 attacks, which I figure is a good average amount of time that you'd spend at a base, and would be a good standard for measurement.

Base 1, Test 1:

entered base via terminus, waited for all planetary information to load on bottom left of screen, and started a stopwatch. my freighter was not present, I did not engage the pirates when prompted, and i remained indoors the entire time. system is alchemical, advanced (level 3), conflict level 3 (at war), and Vy'Keen - Glyph Code

first attack: 05:46.09 - target elsewhere

second attack: 15:14.34 - 9:28.25 from last attack - target elsewhere

third attack: 24:27.52 - 9:13.18 from last attack - target me (didn't work due to being indoors)

fourth attack: 33:19.76 - 8:52.24 from last attack - target elsewhere

fifth attack: 42:01.80 - 08:24.04 from last attack - target me (didn't work due to being indoors)

from this we can see that there's an initial early pirate attack, then they bump up to approximately 9 and a half minutes, and then slowly increase in frequency by about 15 seconds less time between each attack from there.

Base 1, Test 2:

for this test I entered the same way, but did things the opposite. I remained outdoors the entire time, and called in my freighter upon entering (at 45 second mark), and always engaged the pirates when they attacked.

first attack: 05:36.77 - target elsewhere

second Attack: 14:38.28 - 9:01.51 from last attack - target me

third attack: 25:08.48 - 10:30.20 from last attack - target...

Expedition 6 Bug [Bug]

So, I'm stuck on the quest to help a freighter fend off pirates. I've done it several times now, and every time things don't progress. I've literally done everything else I've been able to unlock, but without this one, I'm basically screwed.

#

Money cap. [Question]

I have a project, I want to hit the money cap. How do I do so in the fastest way?

#

Scanner missing? [Question]

How do I find the scanner in the game to repair it? I can’t Find anything about it online. It just says press down on the d pad to repair inventory but there isn’t a scanner anywhere. Just mining bean life support and hazard protection. Am I dumb?

#

Just started. Found an outlaw space station and it seems insanely bugged. [Bug]

I can buy the little random item consumable that you use that gives you a random valuable item for 200 units each. Then regularly something will pop out worth like 25k. I bought 60 of them used them all and gained like 4 million units real fast.

Same with the weapon packs. I can buy them for like 168 and then break them down to get hundreds of wireless looms which I can use to make more mods or sell them for 25k each.

I'm not sure if 5 million units is a lot but it meant i could buy a new multitool which helped a ton and I'm tempted to buy a new ship.

What do the solar ships do? [Question]

I recently reinstalled the game after a good year without playing and came across a ship which was a solar class. Does anyone know exactly what they are designed for and what is the best use for it.

Beginner “I am stuck on something that is probably obvious” question [Question]

Afternoon all

So started playing , been an interesting game so far (though not sure I am in love with the mouse controls for flight).

Working through the first stage of the expedition and was looking at starting a small base to learn mining and money making pieces a bit.

But when I sit on a planet and open up the build menu there is no base computer. I see a couple of deployable items (comms, save point etc etc.) but no computer. There are other bases on the planet (though pretty far away)

Thoughts / guidance ? Wondering if the base computer blueprint is a progression thing that I am just missing.

#

Why [Question]

Tried to play the game after quite a while because of all the hype around the most recent update. So aside from the several hour forced tutorial that significantly slowed me down because I spawned on a death planet, I am not having very much fun and this is getting ridiculous. I have been trying to get a "Walker Brain" for two days. Every time I fight sentinels on foot the rating doesn't go up so I have to get in my ship to fight in atmosphere. I am constantly getting killed because my ship gets stuck on geometry of the map and then vibrates rapidly, damaging itself until it explodes. I was able to get the stupid rating high enough for walkers to spawn A SINGLE TIME, I parked immediately, got out of my ship, and looked around shooting wildly. No sentinels in sight. 70 seconds until their search ends. Spent the entire time making as much noise as possible searching wildly for them. LITERALLY A SECOND AFTER THEIR SEARCH ENDS, ONE RISES UP OUT OF THE GROUND SCANNING ME. Are you fucking SERIOUS? I thought this game was an incredible success story and yet I'm nearly 10 hours in and done giving it chances. Also shoutout to the guy who built a base on top of the crashed ship I wanted to check out. A1.

Guys, I need some help… [Question]

Parking 9 Ships on Frieghter [Suggestion]

The new Outlaws update comes with the ability to now own 9 ships! Which is awesome, however they now need to let us park all nine ships on our freighters. I cannot be the only one logging into the game and wondering why some of my ships are missing just to find out if you want them you gotta summon them. Who’s gonna remember that. They give us nine slots on our freighter we should get to use all 9 slots. Hopefully they will make a change that allows all our ships on our freighter.

TURN LARVAL CORES INTO NANITES [Question]

I was watching a video and this guy said you could turn Larval Cores into Nanites, so I bought a shit ton of them but realized that I have no idea how to turn them into Nanites, so I wasted 500 mil. How do I turn them into Nanites someone help.

#

Naming Frigates? [Question]

Ever since the new update I don't know how to rename my frigates. Is this not a thing anymore? Would be kinda sad, I had a whole Norse naming system going.

#

walkable Space Ships [Suggestion]

So I've been playing subnautica lately and I finally built the submarine style vehicle that you can freely walk around in and it got me thinking about no man's sky and how it would work for the game. Basically it's a large ship with cockpit but you can get out of the cockpit and freely walk about while flying slowly. You could add storage, refiners and cosmetic items. It would be good for those players who would rather travel than make a planet base. I know it sounds like freighter but I'm thinking smaller. Thoughts?

#

Defending myself from Pirates is Illegal? [Question]

Was flying down to a planet and got a message of a pirate attack on the new update. Thankfully the pirate's pretty far away so I land to do my quest since I'm still in the beginning of the game on this save (haven't even unlocked the space anomaly yet) and I get out of my ship. I almost get to the quest location, but suddenly I'm getting shot at and looking around I don't see any ships. Before I can even get back to my starship I die and lose my inventory, I try to fly back and see a ship that has landed on the ground that seems to be the perfect angle to have shot me, and going behind it no lasers come out so I assume it's some kind of pirate.

I start shooting it (damaging myself heavily because for some reason I can't brake so I keep running into it) but on the bottom right of my screen there's something that says "Hostile Trader Ships Remaining: 1" and that shooting trader ships will draw Sentinel attention or something. However I still need my inventory back so I finish shooting it and destroy it.

Then the actual pirate from before comes and I destroy that too, and of course now I have 3 'stars.' So I figure I'll do what I did once before on another save and fly away, land, and dig a hole and bury myself and wait. However no matter how much I press "E" the ship still won't land so I'm stuck fighting an ever increasing number of endless sentinels and eventually my ship is destroyed. Now I'm practically back at the beginning of the game again with my launch thruster broken, no freighter, and nothing nearby. What could I have done in this situation, and why was I attacked by a trader ship that was on the ground in the first place? This is practically the first thing I've done in this update and losing both my inventory and my ability to lose my starship within 5-10 minutes of each other doesn't really seem like it's intentional? If anyone has any ideas about this...

#

Do I Keep Expedition Rewards? [Question]

So, I did a little bit of digging on the wiki and google in general, but either I am failing to properly comprehend or it is not being explicitly stated.

I have a file with around 100 or so hours. I do not want to change or start a new file from this one. While I understand I would have to do so to join the expedition, I would still like to "import" the expedition rewards (and the inventories if possible) over to my main file when I complete said expedition.

Is this possible? Or do I join the expedition and I am basically forced to use that file to wear a cape/whatever else?

#

The Blight [Discussion]

!I generally enjoyed this expedition, but i wish they had gone into more depth with the lore around the Blight. Most of the NMS lore I find rather bland (not bad, just not super engaging) but i feel like this storyline had potential to be more and that it didn't live up to that potential.

I also wish that they incorporated the outlaw content more into it!<

Did you know...? [Information]

If you mine a deposit with the smallest beam it gets the best yield.

[Efficientwise is better to spend 10 minutes on one deposit rather than 10 minutes looking for a second deposit]

(One deposit gave me around 200 with the big beam and with the small one gave me 1300)

Please, for the love of the Atlas SOMEONE SHARE A WALKER BRAIN PLEASE [Question]

I've tried for 48 hours to get a walker brain for the "Find a Pirate-Controlled System" Expeditions quest. So far I've gotten one and then glitched out and lost it, tried killing Sentinels so I could get one only to die multiple times, and had my game crash on me several times while reloading a save game. No walker brains, only loads of frustration! Please help! I'll trade 600+ units of Cadmium for one.

Selling Illegal goods bug? [Question]

So I am having this issue where if I sell illegal pirate goods I am not getting the full amount that is listed. For example it says I am suppose to be worth 25m and I only get 8m selling it in a 3 star economy system. How do I get the full value for selling these items?

Non-glitch nanite solution. [Information]

Hey folks, just noted this today, the contraband agent can sell larval and hadal cores. each core can be refined into 50 nanites. Takes a couple minutes to process but made 10000 nanites from 3 outlaw systems over 15 minutes. They might patch/nerf the values so do it sooner than later.

Happy hunting.

My First 250 Hours [Discussion]

Forward

This post is going to be mainly focused on an in depth review of my thoughts on the game after playing for a quarter of a thousand hours. It's not meant at all to be a guide for new players or offering tips. I recently did post a 200 hour version of this but the new update was released the next day so I see it fit to do a new one now that I have hit a quarter of a thousand hours.This post is entirely a work of my own opinions, and I could be wrong. I encourage people who have different opinions or want to share their own experiences and thoughts to share them in the comments.

The Game at a Glance

No Man's Sky is what you want it to be. I strongly believe that you can play this game however you want. If you want to spend your time trading across the galaxy and building up a massive cash supply, or if you want to hunt down ships for r/NMSCoordinateExchange. You can explore the cosmos on a scale we will never experience in our own lifetimes. No Man's Sky offers what in my experience one of the greatest array of choices when it comes to how you play. Although I have taken breaks from the game from time to time, I can't say I have ever been bored in game. As somebody who constantly get's bored of games and moves on before hitting 10 hours, Reaching a milestone like this in a game says a lot (at least for me) about how good the game is.

My Experience

I first purchased the game on November 25 of 2021 with my thanksgiving bonus from work. I had been dreaming of playing ever since I first saw YouTubers playing it. Nothing in game will ever beat my first time, taking off and flying around for the first time, fighting sentinels before the update. Despite the occasional glitch I don't think I have been genuinely disappointed in this game since I purchased it, and 100% would buy it again. The game, no, experience that Hello Games has...

How to refill Rocket launcher? [Question]

Hi All,

I'm loving the new Outlaws update so I'm doing more combat that Ive ever done and loving it.

The expedition ship I have has a Rocket launcher, which I used till I ran out of Ammo. I don't know how to restock it and I tried Google but for some reason I can't find a thing.

Any help would be appreciated.

Oh another Question:

With this update, whenever I try to use small refiner and place it down with my Xbox controller,, it doesn't do anything, I have to use the mouse button to place it down is this a new bug introduced with this update?

Having stuttering and framerate drop issues on PC, but the usual fix isn't working... [Question]

My system:

i5 9400F

RTX 2060 KO

16GB DDR4 2666MHz RAM

M.2 SSD

I've tried the fix that I've seen in multiple posts from this subreddit and a few steam community posts where you edit the NumHighThread and NumLowThread values in the TKGRAPHICSSETTINGS text file, but when I do that, they reset to the number they were before I changed them every time I open the game? I'm definitely saving the text file every time I alter it, but still it doesn't work and it reverts to the original values when I open up the game.

Why is this?? It's getting kind of annoying.

#

Expedition Permadeath Question [Question]

Hey guys, I'll keep this one short as a short explanation will do.

Im an old returning player, and I really want to do my first expedition for the new cape and whatnot, however my current "main" save (and what I usually play on) is permadeath, so I'm a bit concerned as to how the whole thing works. If I start an expedition on my permadeath save, and then die during the expedition, does my game still get deleted?

Secondly, if I complete the expedition on one save file, are the rewards unlocked for all my other saves?

NMS and Risk Management [Discussion]

So we've had a ton of posts over the past couple of days (myself included) regarding too many pirate attacks, and the replies have all patiently included the fact that pirate frequency is a bug that will be fixed just any ol' moment now. But I would like to suggest that there's a more subtle problem in NMS, and that involves risk management.

I get that there are people who want a peaceful mode, but one where you still need to farm materials to unlock and make things, which makes it a different request from just a creative mode (which we already have). But while that's certainly one approach, a different one that could satisfy more people would be a way to determine for yourself just what you're up for, at any given moment.

What I would like to see is a way to choose, perhaps by location, or ship, or scanner, or some other way that I'm not thinking about right now, how much risk I'm up for. For example, a direct route might be obviously risky, while "going around the long way" would be safer.

Perhaps another example would be Guild Wars 2 (GW2). When I leave town in GW2, I can go almost anywhere (at least in the open world), and decide as I travel whether I want to get into combat or not. Most mobs are perfectly avoidable (even moreso since they introduced mounts), and once you've played for a while you find that they're on a fairly short aggro leash, and it's clear which ones are going to be more challenging (and which you can just bonk on the head and move on). And if all I want to do is run around farming iron, I can do so with no fights at all (perhaps missing out on a node or two here and there, where a mob is within "leash distance").

I suppose my point here is that, even when they turn pirate frequency down a bit, I feel like NMS will still suffer from not allowing players to decide for themselves what they're up for, at any given time. I'll be honest, getting attacked...

How do you beat the walker in A Trace of Metal? [Question]

For the love of god that thing will NOT DIE.

How do you kill the walker? I shoot it once and 2-3 healing sentinels spawn in. I kill one of those and immediately another one spawns in. If I get in my ship and shoot the walker I'm seeing damage in the 3-4k I'm hitting it hundred of times and it will not die.

What do you do to kill this thing?!?

A Floral Menace Mission - How? [Question]

How am I supposed to do this mission? I get attacked by sentinels the moment I step out of my ship, and when I get back in the sentinel starships attack. Only way to survive is to summon the Anomaly in orbit just above the fallen traveler's grave, and I never get a shot at a single hazardous flora.

What happens to your base when you log out? [Question]

Newish player here. I’m looking to get my friend into this game, but I am not understanding how the bases work. This isn’t an MMO, so my understanding is that our save files are individually saved, so if I delete my save file, I’m assuming my base will be deleted as well.

What happens if a friend and I build bases next to each other on the same planet? If he logs off, will the buildings disappear?

If the bases are persistent, what happens if someone deletes there save file? Can continue working on a joint base if the other person is logged off?

TLDR: Does HG have a central database that keeps bases persistent when you log off?

Units glitch [Bug]

I just returned to the game after a while (expedition 1) and I just noticed this glitch that allows to infinitely sell items from your ship's cargo inventory. That's about it, you put whatever item you want to get money from in the ship cargo inventory and it never despawns when you sell, so you can spam sell it. Is this a new bug?

How to trigger freighter missions now? [Question]

Returning player here, a bit confused on the freighter hunting system now.

So I’ve got this one system that has a freighter battle, but I don’t want that freighter, with that in mind I’ve reloaded my save and warped to a system with the freighter I want, expecting the battle to take place there instead. But no, the game insist on the freighter system being in the last freighter battle system. Even if I reload, go to an adjacent system of the one I want, then warp to the one I want, it won’t work. But if I go back to the other system, the battle ensues once more.

Did they change the freighter battle system? How do I hunt for my desired freighter now?

A day in the life of Entity Enzjyeb. [Meme]

Hello traveller-entities! My name is Entity Enzyjyeb and I work on the Dorjamdizine Trade Post in the Bidenga system. I just thought you would all like to know what a day in the life of a trade post Korvax is like. It is relatively relaxed here, normally, but lately things have been getting fairly intense. Even so, my daily routine goes a little bit like this.

In the morning, I reboot and stretch out, and then I duck in cover as a pirate attack happens. Luckily, this always seems to coincide with a traveler-entity with an S class hauler landing here, which would be exciting, except for the fact that they don't really do anything about it. They just run to the trading post, buy the entire market of our star system (which destroys our entire economy for several days). Then they leave.

They don't seem to worry too much about the pirates. They have this weird, glassy look in their eyes like they deal with pirates a lot. In fact, they don't even really seem to acknowledge them.

Anyways, so in the afternoon I watch all of the carbon based organics in the trading post try to eat lunch while they dodge lasers from the pirate ships. The lasers don't really do anything, and the pirates can't actually take anything, and there are no negative consequences for ignoring them, so that's what we do. I do not eat lunch. I just recharge my batteries.

In the evening, the sound of the minute-ly pirate attack doesn't seem to vex the traveller-entity who has come back to realize that our economy hasn't recovered from their last visit, before summarily leaving. Fortunately, the pirates seem to follow them as they leave, preventing them from phase jumping away, which seems to annoy them.

As for the other organic lifeforms on the Trading Post, they don't seem to really mind the pirate attacks anymore. They have become used to them, like me. In fact, those who are still alive are not even...

#

Can pirates really destroy your base? [Question]

I'm a pretty casual player, so I haven't gotten a chance to try the outlaw update yet, but I've been reading about the frequent pirate attacks and I have two questions: Can pirates really destroy your base, or can I just hang out in the base and be cool? Do I need to be worried about pirates destroying my base while I'm not even logged in?

#

Weird thing happened. [Question]

Basically I was mining rocks, and one got up and left. Like, a normal rock grew legs and left. I tried to chase it but it got away. I tried to scan it but it wasn’t, like, “registered” as an animal. The red dot wasn’t there. I tried to kill it but I ran out of ammo. Horrible timing I had just gotten into fight with sentinels.

My instinct tell me it’s some kind of very rare encounter?

In need of a better ship [Question]

I have been flying around the same ship for a good while now, and I haven't seen a better ship anywhere in the galaxy. Is it possible the ship configuration I have is as good as it gets for a fighter? What I want is a fighter with as many inventory/tech/cargo slots as possible, am I best off grinding the nanites to S rank this one? i have 12k nanites lol

The ship was a sunken wreck, has a max of 42+14+16 slots which is phenomenal and the best I've seen for most ships, but I'd love to find one in different colors at the very least, though I'd especially love a solar ship with similar potential, is that even possible? or to keep this many slots am I restricted to the heavy fighter style?

Patterns In Time questline help. [Bug]

I've been following the Patterns In Time quest line and i'm now at the point where I need to 'Prove my place in a Korvax universe'. I have spoken to a Korvax cartographer previously in my current system and got half way through the quest, to only come back to it being an outlaw system meaning there isn't a cartographer there. I can't go to a different Korvax system as the quest specifies that it needs to be in this exact system. Any help is appreciated.

Loot from Pirates [Question]

My google-fu isn't great - I tried and failed. With these pirate ships I'm fighting right at my trading post, do I still have to fly through their debris to get loot? In space I can see barrels with blinkers sometimes fly by but I don't see that on the planet-bound fights. Any tips on getting loot from these dog fights?

How do I get more than one ship on a freighter? [Question]

Sorry if this a really stupid question, but I wasn't able to find a satisfactory answer elsewhere. I just got a freighter, and part of the in game description says I should be able to store more than one ship on it. Well, I already have two ships in my collection, but when I'm inside the freighter I can't spawn a second ship into it, and if I teleport out of the freighter the ship that's inside it comes along with me. So how do I bring a second ship in there?

Project City HUB Begins! [Discussion]

City Project

Hello everyone and welcome to the city Project discussion, recruitment, and ideas thread.

About this project:

This project was created in order to make a huge city-like base for all players in No Man Sky to be able to meet, hang out, and complete tasks. This project will consist of one (if no plans to expand) large central city HUB with unlimited access by all players within the No Man's Sky universe. Yes I know this has been done before, but from what I read the last project was shut down due to a glitch or update or something that destroyed it. I cannot guarantee this project will last forever, nor can I guarantee this project will even kick off. This project's growth and continuity is based solely on the playerbase.

What is needed to get started:

In order to kick off this project, I am putting together one LARGE team broken off into smaller teams. For now, each small team will focus on a single aspect of base building and will have a team leader. Each small team will have at least 5 members and one team leader. Each team leader from each team will be a representative for the city council.

What teams are needed?

Electrical Engineering Team:

This team will consist of players who are highly skilled in the art of electrical engineering within No Man Sky.

Architecture/Decorations Team:

This team will consist of players who are uniquely skilled in base building architecture and decoration.

City Council Team:

For the time being, this team will automatically consist of all members of all teams and this team will be in charge of plans for the naming, building infrastructure, location, expansion opportunities, trade, layout and other features of the city. When the project kicks off, all temporary members of the council will be removed and ONLY team leaders will be on the city council.

Security Team:

Not too sure how much this...

I love the new update but they need to fix how frequent plaent raids happen. Getting my settlement raided literally every 5 minutes is starting to get annoying. I had literally 4 raids when I was trying to clear the sentinels out just to claim the settlement

#

Trace of metal bug? [Bug]

Me and my friend are trying to do the trace of metal quest for the settlements but sentinels will not stop spawning, we’ve easily defeated 30-40 waves but no advancement. My friend even had the sentinel count at his settlement reach 300

#

How do group missions at the Nexus work? [Question]

If you have to go to a planet to defeat hazardous flora to be specific, does anyone who joins the nexus mission go to the same planet? And is it collaborative? If you have to kill like 170 hazardous flora, if you kill 85 and they kill 85, does it complete the mission for you both?

Stupid question, but I’ve mostly ignored Nexus quests for a hot minute. Joined a quest that was on an aggressive sentinel planet and couldn’t imagine killing all 170 alone, but saw there was someone else on the quest too and wanted to know what that meant exactly.

Same system as the quest btw

Only C tier ships? [Bug]

Fro about the past hour or so I have only be finding c tier ships. I have reset, reloaded save, and to no avail, they are all still tier c. Any way to fix it?

#

How do I get an overseer for my base? [Question]

I've been searching for 20 minutes to get one, the station the game wants me to go to has been overun by pitates so it might be glitched or something idk. But I can't seem to find anyone to do it

#

Maybe an unpopular opinion... [Discussion]

I don't like the cape. I spent all that time in the last expedition getting the jet pack and then this cape covers it up. I wish it attached underneath it.

#

#

Digging back into the game for the new update! [Question]

About once every six months or so, I'll boot up a fresh save, maybe do the expedition, explore for a bit. But I never seem to make much progress. Is there any particular order in which to best experience the major story arcs?

#

Faster ships? [Question]

Anyone been able to get a ship to go faster than 3000 with the update? I have tried tons of addons and adjacencies but ship speed still stinks.

#

PSA: Day 2 twitch ship is bugged. You can sell a stack of items from the cargo and you get the units but keep the items [Bug]

Steps:

1- Add some items to the cargo 2- go to a trade post on a space station 3- sell the whole stack (has to be the stack, not a single item it seems) 4- the sale will go through but you can sell again single you still have the items

Keep doing 4 until the demand lowers enough. Then you jump to another system and repeat.

Walker brain [Question]

I’m have trouble finding walker brains. I’ve killed 3-4 walkers but the body never dropped so I can collect the walker brain. Can someone help me out so I can finish the expedition?

#

Expedition help [Question]

Relatively new player. Just started the expedition (it being my first). When I go to my build options, base computer isn’t an option. Is this a glitch or part of the game mode?

#

Outlaws could’ve been the perfect multiplayer update [Discussion]

With the introduction of squadrons and piracy missions I’m at a loss as to why Hello Games didn’t take this as an opportunity to make the game more friendly for multiplayer. They could’ve made it so that you could do pirate stuff like the bounty missions and smuggling in a squadron of either ai or online players. Anyways great update but still a strictly single player game pretty much.

#

Twitch drops [Discussion]

I don't watch Twitch, so if you're like me and still want drops, just use the twitch app to stream one of the participating channels to a Chromecast, or throw it up on your Roku or whatever streaming device. I stream it to my bedroom Chromecast, TV off, and I can keep using my phone as I collect drops

Hope this helps

So I've got a question: How the Flip do I get a base computer? [Question]

(Expedition) In my catalog it says 40 chromatic metals. I'm now in an Indium drive in my starship, and I've gone and unlocked every stone building piece from the construction terminal at the Nexus, but STILL I cannot get a base computer to show when I click the construction menu. It only shows portable refiner, savepoints and beacons.

Please, It's doing me in.

Joined friend's system in co-op, destroyed his base. [Question]

Ive been playing with a freind for last couple hours this session, and we're a good 30+ hours deep in our coop playthrough. After having a break for a few months the new update enticed us back, though my issue and mostly his is that when we both returned to our bases (different planet same star system) and while he was in his base when I entered the system again, to return to mine. The terrain he had edited for his base 'respawned' and destroyed his structure. Just wondering if this is a fialt in our end or some known type of bug to with altering saves.

#

Massive glitch? [Bug]

Not sure if this consistently works but... Found out if you put something in your cargo bay on a ship and sell it, it will give you the money but won't take away the item. Inf money!

#

Building bug? [Bug]

The timber twin windows sometimes doesn’t build as a solid wall. Some times it has open horizontal slats. It’s driving me nuts that I can’t fix it! And it seems it’s entirely random. One walk is solid the next is open.

Tried delegating and rebuilding, nothing fixes it.

And help on this?

#

No mans sky is too broken. [Bug]

I want to love this game so badly. I nearly got a tattoo of it when it launched years ago. But i cant justify recommending this game to anyone with how absurdly broken it is. I just came back to the game yesterday and have already run into 10+ nearly game breaking bugs. from entire areas of my base being destroyed, all the animals on my planet are different and so is the weather, i cant do anything on my freighter cause invisible walls block the command room, i tried 50+ times to find a settlement on my planet but 70% of the time it just dismantles the map and the other 30 even though im standing on my planet it find settlements off planet even though my planet has plenty of life and is supposedly guaranteed to have settlements. My jetpack seems to randomly not work sometimes. I played all the way through cyberpunk and didnt have half as many game breaking things happen this quickly. Im playing on ps5. I just want to love this game but it seems to be actively fighting me. I know the community doesnt want to look at the negatives cause of how far its come but i had to vent if anything cause its making me so frustrated at every turn.

#

Am I the only one with this glitch? [Bug]

So the glitch occurs when you try to board your freighter then it says docking procedure started but you ship doesn't enter the freighter. This happened to me several times and sometimes it would glitch me inside of the freighter.

#

CPU usage at 100% since Update [Bug]

Hey any readers, I really could use your help.

Ever since Outlaws came out, my CPU has been at 100% usage everytime I play the game.

I have an Intel Core i7-10750H CPU @ 2.60 GHz

Basically, I should be able to run this game on medium settings with no problems, and that was the case until Outlaws dropped.

Now I am at 100% CPU usage any time I open the game, even if everything else is closed in the background. I checked multiple times in task manager.

Malwarebytes scanned and found nothing at all. I have all cores running. What is wrong with my computer? Or is the game to blame?

Thanks for reading, please give any help you can offer.

#

Anyone else unable to get the shroud/hood? [Question]

Can’t start an expedition save [Question]

I’m trying to start the new expedition but the start screen says “attempting to connect”. Everything else works (normal save, Wi-Fi, other games, Netflix), is this a me problem or a them problem?

#

Can sell the same item over and over. [Bug]

I’m kinda new to the game. Is trading with ships while flying a new feature? I can selling the same item over and over again without it leaving my inventory and getting units for it. The item is intimate formulae. On ps4. Anybody else exploit this bug before?

#

Advice needed for sentinels [Question]

I don't usually fight sentinels unless I really need to because I prefer exploration over fighting. I am really struggling with the expedition this time and I'm stuck on having to kill 25 (in addition to being constantly attacked from the sky). I was hoping that killing the sentinel ships would count, but it doesn't appear to. Any advice on what to use on my multi tool? What kills them quickest/ easiest. Thanks in advance because I'm getting sick of the game right now.

#

How to play in the Outlaws update? [Question]

I know that you can go pirate systems and whatnot, but how do you actually fight back against them? Also, how are you supposed to recruit wandering starship in your fleet and summon them into formations?

#

Contraband Glitch? [Question]

I'm not sure if it's a glitch or what, but I bought a bunch of contraband, it says its worth 2.5 mil, but right under it it says "sell for 890k". I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong or if its an error. Thanks!

#

A way back [Question]

In the new expedition it says I can only reach the galactic core by leaving with a full hyperdrive from the last rendezvous point but I have no idea what the last rendezvous star system was called does anyone know the name of the last rendezvous star system?

Was There Such a Thing As A Base Building Limit Value Bypass Beyond 20000 Parts Per Save File? [Question]

Greetings and salutations my fellow Interlopers!! Would somebody please be kind enough to tell me about this valuable piece of information that I am researching in regards with the game's evolution from the very beginning since launch about Base Building Limit Value Parameters. I have talked with a few experienced veterans and half of them say that you could bypass the 20000 parts per save file limit by editing the TKGRAPHICSSETTINGS.MXML file by modifying the command function of .

I already know about the one function above it; which just removes the predesignated soft limit of 3000 parts per base as a safety measure, but then we have a hard limit of 20000 parts per save file across all your bases. There are half of the other experienced veterans that also say that yes we could assign a number beyond 20000 parts in the file but we still couldn't bypass the predesignated hard code limit variable.

Others say we could but after reaching 40000 or any higher number of parts the game's engine and renderer or the CPU/GPU couldn't handle the frames or the graphics. There are some who say they assigned ~ symbol or left an empty or null space like this " " in order to have infinite parts.

I read that they removed the "BaseBuildingLimit" value altogether in or around the "Beyond" update and introduced the Base Complexity function in the Graphics Options, but I still don't know whether there is a secret mechanism to bypass the 20000 parts hard limit using the in-game files or a third party modifying tool. So what is the truth or fact about this situation? Did we have the accessibility of bypassing the 20000 parts limit and if we did and still do, how far can we go before even the most powerful and tough CPU/GPU gaming hardware would absolutely and definitely start falling apart?

New Expedition "Liberation" bug? [Bug]

I've saved two freighters, claimed the first one for free. It isn't letting me talk to the captian about the pitates, and it's not completing the "liberation" milestone.

Confused on why I can’t build [Question]

Confused on expedition

So I’m playing expedition 6 and can’t figure out why I can’t build. I’ve seen other bases while playing online. I just don’t have access to a base computer and the only thing I can build is a portable item. Is building unlocked latter in the expedition (I’m on phase 2) or is it just disabled until you complete all phases.

Cant Warp [Question]

Hi im a new player and im not sure if im missing something or if my game is glitched. I am currently doing the mission "Awakenings: Find us, Hear us" with the objective "warp to another system"

I have already installed and fueled the hyperdrive, yet when i check the Galaxy map, all systems are labeled as out of jump range. In addition after checking some videos to see what i should be doing, I see that im supposed to have a warp route line to follow, but i do not have anything like that. The quest is marked as my active quest in my log so im sure thats not the issue. I have also tried restarting my game and still nothing.

Im just wondering if im missing something or has anyone else encountered the situation where every single system is out of jump range during the first warp mission. Any help or insight is greatly appreciated.

Experimental Branch 13/04 [Discussion]

Experimental Branch 15/04 Fixed a collision issue with the wings of Solar class starships. Pirates will no longer attack players who are underground, underwater, or in their own base. Pirates no longer attack planets in low conflict systems. Fixed an issue that could cause the pirate raid warning message to display when there was no pirate attack incoming. Fixed an issue that caused pirates to deal too much damage when shooting at the player on the ground, and for the player to receive ship-related warning messages when hit. Trader ships now use the red hostile target arrow on the starship HUD if they are attacking the player. Fixed an issue that caused repair kits to be too expensive when purchased with tainted metal. Fixed an issue that caused pirate raid markers to fail to clear from buildings when the raid ends. Fixed a texture streaming memory leak.

found an interesting glitch with storm Crystal's but have no idea why it's happened ¯_(ツ)_/¯ [Bug]

So I made my way to a extreme environment planet and got myself some storm Crystal's on this expedition and I've got 24 of them on my starships cargo area and went to go sell them but everytime I sell them they lose a few hundred units of value due to demand for them decreasing, but I'm not actually selling them. Still have 24 of them, no clue why but just thought I'd put it out there. Safe travels!

PSA: You can buy Larval Cores from pirate stations. I dropped 6 mil to get 3500 nanites. [Information]

Title. Don't know if you can always get them or if I got lucky, OR if you could actually buy them anywhere else before.

Also, stations and pilots don't sell oxygen in the thousands anymore, only about 500. You can still mine it with a base, or just buy a little every time you visit a station. Why does this matter? Chlorine Expansion. Also possibly warp cell housing.

Anyone know if pirates still drop Chromatic Metal? I might need to start making that stuff now.

steam deck - no man's sky stuttering [Bug]

Hello!

So i got my steam deck this week (friggin awesome little thing!) and am having trouble running no man's sky. It actually hits 60 frames per second, which i find amazing, but their is bad stuttering. driving an exocraft is brutal as it stutters almost the whole time and walking around stutters about every 15 to 20 seconds. looking at the performance overlay the frametime just shoots up. Has anyone else experienced this? i would like to know. Also does anyone have any fixes?

Thanks in advance!

NMS Seed website missing [Question]

I used this website a few months ago. I can't remember the name of it. but it gave you this massive page of seeds for ships and assumingly other things, with pictures to match them. It would take a ton of scrolling to get to the bottom of the list. I tried searching for it, and I can't find it now. Does anyone know what I am talking about, or have any other websites that I can use to get seeds?

Is there any way to give a ship to someone else? [Question]

I have an A and S class solar(Yea I know I got stupid lucky) and want to get rid of the A class one. My friend just started the game and I want to get him started off right.

#

No Man's Sky language chart/sheet? [Question]

Hello all,

There's a question I've had since the game came out that I wanna know the answer to. Are the various languages in NMS consistent with their unlearned words or is it all randomly generated? If the former, has anyone been able to create a chart of what the foreign words translate to? It'd be cool to be able to construct a sentence in Vy'keen XD

Thanks in advance :D

#

Question about freighter spawns [Question]

I'm on my 213th reload in a mid tier system and trying to get an S class freighter. I know the spawn rates are ridiculously low for these systems, but I really expected to have one by now. The reason I'm in this system is because I haven't found another freighter that suits my tastes like this one. I have my current freighter in the system as well, but I'm not sure if that affects spawns. Is there something I'm missing or do I just have abhorrent luck?

#

Oxygen [Question]

Did this update make it so I can buy less oxygen at a space station? Because I can't find a single space station with more then 1k oxygen for sale.

Sunken Antiquities [Question]

bug:not being able to lose sentinels? [Question]

Is there a known issue of getting into a fight with sentinels by not being able to lose them tracking you? I've had this on multiple occasions & although this game is ground breaking & looks amazing. Bugs like this annoy me to almost throwing my game out the fuckn window. My friend and I were on a planet & he was able to lose them 3 separate times, while I had "2 stars" that never went away no matter what I did. Hopefully this is experienced by others & not my game being broken. Thanks
