Save file [Question]

A very stupid question but I've been playing a pirated copy of it and I progressed quite a lot. But now I wanna buy this game. So can I use the save file from the pirated copy to the steam version?

Single player cross play [Question]

Hello!

Been google-ing if I can use my account that I made on PC to play on a PS5 but I can only find that you can cross play with friends from other platforms.

So... can I migrate my PC account to PS5 to keep my progress?

Thank you!

looking for any collectable relics from release and beyond! ( Atlas stones for example) [Discussion]

I'm trying to collect old rare items from as early as the release of NMS, old items and goodies, or even safe to have broken items if you want! My top priority is to get ahold of one or more of an Atlas stone as well. If you wanna help me out my code is B2EH-8EB7-FQZZ2, I'm on Xbox one. I'm on rn just killing time then I was gonna chill out at a space station. If you wanna help me out and toss over some items I'd appreciate anything you can offer :3

Treasure Map Fragment 3 Missing [Information]

I don't know why I didn't get it...

I was given two pirate map fragment nº 1 first and then a second pirate map nº 2.

But the third there is no way to get it. I have tried with sunken freighters, on land, saving in battles... but nothing.

Now I see that the map once completed takes you to another part of the galaxy to follow the encounter nº5. From where I am I can't do 1000 jumps to get there...

In addition, the expeditions have the "virtue" that if you do not complete a single mission, all the effort to achieve everything else is useless.

Any idea? Or do I have to do the whole expedition again?

With the risk that this happens again.

I think the programmers must have foreseen all this.

This is really frustrating.

Sorry for the translation

Cheers

Settlement not producing anything? [Bug]

Has anyone else come across an issue where their settlement stops producing anything? The usual icons showing what the settlements produce has been replaced by the “empty slot” cogs icon for both the products on the view settlement status screen. It was working until early this week, the patch didn’t fix it. I’ve reported on zendesk, but wondered if anyone else had seen this and knew a fix. Have tried the usual save/reload, warp away and return, restart Xbox tricks … none worked. Thanks!

Cant complete expedition 6 blighted [Bug]

https://youtu.be/VEq6H8_JuJ0 - video has all the expedition info

I only have 2/3 map fragments.

https://preview.redd.it/99k8g5e72vu81.png?width=462&format=png&auto=webp&s=a3c467f8d238eccce0301936fff2fbfc37fd3763

So in phase 4, you have to reassemble the map fragments to create a map. The quest is called "Treasure Hunt"

https://preview.redd.it/hvh0d16b1vu81.png?width=251&format=png&auto=webp&s=d087b6b43d4a53a0580cdf7681466bba55ae28d3

I have completed all of phases 1-3, and all of phase 4 except this one. I have even completed the only 2 quests in phase 5 I can, called "Galactic Defender" and "Enlistment". I checked out a guide video to see if maybe I am doing it wrong. In the video by the time the person got around to the "Treasure hunt" quest, they had 3/3 map fragments. I have done all the Quests I can yet I still don't have the first map fragment. Is it bugged? If so any idea's on how I can complete it?

How many reloads did it take until you finally get a S class freighter? [Question]

Hello fellow travelers!

Ok, ok.. I know the drill: play for 3 hours, warp 5 times, manually save, trigger a freighter battle, go to a space station, auto save. Help the freighter. If is not a S class, repeat process.

I've been watching different guides on how to get a S class freighter and, despite some minor differences, this is basically what is taught. And so far it is working, but I already repeated the process around 35 (I honestly lost count) times and yet, best I could find was an A 34+8 freighter.

I was wondering if I am simply the unluckiest traveler of Euclid and the Atlas is punishing me for whatever reason or this is very common...

How many times did you guys "repeat the process"?

How many reloads did it take until finally get a S class freighter to spawn?

When does the new banner unlock? [Question]

When does the “Blighted” expedition banner unlock for your other saves? I’ve completed the expedition and the banner has unlocked for the expedition save, but not my long-running normal-mode character. I have the banners from past expeditions, but not that one.

Can anybody give me some advice? [Question]

I am stuck in my first solar system without warp cells and the antimatter schematic. I need to jump to another system so I can follow the signal to find one and craft a warp cell. Can anybody point me in the right direction or tell me where to start looking for cells?

#

Freighter Quest [Question]

So i find, that no matter how easy this quest actually is. It gives me problems the most.

I jumped to a system, fought the bad guys attacking freighter, talked to freighter captain, and he just wants to sell me his ship, i'm pretty sure the actual quest has a different choice and he offers it for free.

Quest still available, so i jump again and again, defend another freighter, talk to captain, only offers to sell. i said why not, so the ship was worth more than the money i had, clicked buy anyways, and now i own it, and it didn't cost me anything. So i have a free freighter but yet, my quest isn't complete.

Do i need to start a new save or can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

#

Returning player all alone [Question]

Returning to NMS after some time off and now I am unable to see player bases and farms. Before I would use the portal to get to a AI farm etc and I would see player beacons but now I see nothing. I am Xbox player in eissentam galaxy. I do have multiplayer turned off as I heard if it is on, when you get to the farm the resources may get taken by others. Maybe I am unlucky with the ones I have tried so far, does anyone have any recommendations?

#

Base Computer blueprint bugged? [Question]

So a while back I started expedition 4 but did not finish it. After the time ran out I converted it into a normal save. I started playing the „Awakening“ quest but as soon as I was able to fly away from my starting planet I joined a fried of mine in his world and we played together.

Fast forward I stopped playing for a couple of weeks and continued with the questlines, just finished „Alone Admist the Stars“. Now I noticed I‘m missing the base computer blueprint, apparently I skipped this part of the mission. So now I cant build any bases and I‘m already 15h into this save. I honestly don‘t remeber if I ever finished the „Awakenings“ quest, but I think I did (otherwise I would not have been alble to continue I guess?)

Is there a way to still get the base computer blueprint or is my save bugged out and I rather start a new one?

tl;dr: I‘m missing the base computer blueprint in normal mode after playing >10h and I don‘t know where to get it.

Starting over after 4 year hiatus, normal start or expedition? [Question]

Hello, i tried to jump back in the game yesterday and i couldnt remember a thing. I have a 45 hours save but i feel so lost. I decided to start over so i can get all tutorials and explanations of all the updates but i read maybe i should start over an expedition. What would you guys recommend?

#

Why did they change the buy amount for the smuggled items? [Question]

Hello Everyone can someone explain why they changed the smuggling item buy amount? Before going on vacation I could buy around 25 or more items of blood salt but now I can only purchase 3. Is there a patch I missed because I cant seem to find a reason on any website? I'm really sad about this change because this was a really nice way to make money.

#

Settlement Bazaar Component Vendor Demanding Nanites? [Question]

I have a settlement in a system that used to be a normal system, but after the Outlaws update is now in a pirate system. Since then, or maybe even just since the last patch, the component and blueprint vendors in the settlement's bazaars are selling their components (Wiring Looms, Quantum Computers, etc.) for absurd numbers of nanites instead of units.

Has anyone else seen this?

I haven't had a chance to check other component vendors.

It's not inconceivable that this is the result of me being on the experimental branch and then switching back to the main branch when the latest patch dropped.

#

texture load in bug help [Question]

Hey guys. I've been playing for a long while, but took a long break until outlaw came out. I noticed that after some in game time, the texture rendering gets worse and worse, to the point where every texture is a blob.

I've looked all over and none of the fixes I found have helped. Restarting helps but I would prefer not to have to restart every hour just to avoid playing a astroneer-looking game

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. It's getting really frustrating to play an hour and suddenly everything has the texture of potatoes

#

New game content [Discussion]

So I have been watching a couple of Star Citizen Vida and it's really a cool concept of what they have going on atm. Personally I like the ability of moving around inside your ship.

What if it was possible to be able to move around inside our frigates and could use them for different scenarios. Would be nice.

What is something you would wanna see in a far far away update?

#

I posted on CE as well, but I really need the community’s help!! [Information]

I am in need of a solid purple MT. I know all MT have at minimum 2 colors, but a defined purple is what I’m referring to. The dark purple rifles aren’t bad, provided they don’t have little canister looking things everywhere, experimentales are solid, if it’s not a clashing color (for example a purple and red… idk if that exists but yeah lol), however my biggest request is no alien weapons. Please and thank you. Thank you for any help you can give or even just an upvote so maybe more can see and possibly help! It’s a surprise thing I’m doing for my mom who is getting into gaming and it’s her favorite color, all I need is the MT and I’m good! Any galaxy too, I’m not just bound to the first 10. Thanks again everyone! <3

#

Would anyone be interested in a base building experiment/event? [Discussion]

I can't remember how many people can be in multiplayer at a time but I've just had an idea for an experiment(or event if you'd like) where a group of people build a base/art piece one piece at a time, taking turns to do so.

It'll likely be a mess but if you got some people on board with it it could be very interesting.

#

Ship upgrade questions [Question]

As I work my way thru the early part of the game, doing the quests and improving my equipment I think it's time to upgrade my starship. 2 questions- where to find a suitable upgrade and what would be a suitable upgrade. Currently I have the C class Radiant Pillar with hyperdrive. I'd love to be able to fight those pirate ships better but maybe that's not possible til much farther along in the game? Thanks!

#

Expedition rewards sharing between my accounts [Question]

My PS4 is getting old and barely runs. I haven't been able to find a PS5 but I could find a Xbox Series S. I want to buy NMS for Xbox. I was wondering if there is a way to share all my Expedition and Twitch rewards with the new system. I'm not worried about saves transferring, starting fresh is cool, but since Expedition rewards are impossible to get after its over it would be nice to keep them.

Features NMS should have? [Discussion]

I'm gonna start off by saying I think NMS is a great game and the developers have done literal WONDERS with it. This is in no way a criticism of Hello Games or NMS, this is simply a way to discuss things we would love to see in NMS.

That being said, through my time playing the game I've had some observations and seen/heard some ideas I thought would be cool. So I'm posting here in the hopes that we could discuss the ideas we've all had.

TL;DR: What are some suggestions and/or ideas for features to add to the game?

I'll start with a couple of mine:

-Better Terrain Manipulator. Specifically the flatten tool. It should be able to raise terrain too- I'm trying to build a base on flat ground but whenever the terrain goes down I have to add the terrain back manually and then flatten it all. It'd be much simpler if I could just... Level it.

-Commandeerable sentinels. I got this idea from a comment on this video (https://youtu.be/rgNKvpCcHVY). Basically what if you could commandeer sentinels? I know we already basically have a pet sentinel in the game, but I'm talking bigger. What if you could hack sentinel walkers? Starships? Freighters? Entire fleets or even systems of sentinels? Sentinel freighters are pretty featureless rn anyways, maybe if you infiltrated one you could hack it to give you an army of guard sentinels. Imagine being able to put hacked sentinels around your base or settlement to protect it from regular sentinel raids.

-MORE. 👏 VARIED. 👏 CREATURES. 👏SERIOUSLY. The creatures in the game RN, especially aquatic and flying ones... Are kinda boring. Same with plants. I think their creature updates so far are a step in the right direction, but only a step. Rn there are so many types of creatures (mammal-like, veggietales on crack, dinosaurs, borrowers, giant worms, etc...), but they don't vary super interestingly within...

"Ghosts in the Machine" bugged quest in pirate system [Bug]

As the title states my Ghosts in the Machine storyline quest is bugged due to a pirate system not having a "multi-tool technology trader" in it. Ive tried leaving the system through teleporters and saving and quitting to desktop and it doesnt fix it. It forces me to leave the pirate outpost, and then the quest marker is right outside the outpost where a trader for multi-tools doesnt exist. the quest says "go to a vykeen system multi-tool technology trader" and ive tried a normal vykeen system and bought 2 upgrades and nothing happened.

#

I miss NMS [Discussion]

ok i'm sure i'm in the minority here but i seriously feel like every update just nerfs the game more and more. i don't play no mans sky to have something to do i play it to build bases and explore things. they just keep adding on these dumb time-consuming repetitive missions that i have no interest in following and the update to the level editor is so bad, all of a sudden a bunch of things that used to connect just don't connect anymore (although letting objects overlap is a big upgrade). Plus, it seems like every planet is covered in some kind of cheap instagram fillter that turns everything the same color. at dawn and dusk (30 seconds of playtime) the colors change and all of a sudden there's contrast and the whole thing looks great, then the sun comes up and it's back to monochromatic sameness with skies that remind me of wildfires. i really have just been playing less and less and it's a real shame because i love this game so much.

looks beautiful for 30 seconds!

then back to the oppressive red boredom

Just almost lost my main ship to the skinning glitch :') [Discussion]

I was doing some scrapping and for some reason it always summons/sets my completely unupgraded living ship as my active ship when I scrap. Got an exotic, scrapped it, jumped back into my main ship to set it as active, as always... And suddenly, it has the guts of my, again, completely basic living ship.

Thank goodness I had a manual save, though it was 3 hours old, that's better than losing my baby. Thing's worth 155.5mil!! 😭 And I love it.

Just a reminder to manually save frequently!

#

Got loopkilled in a volcanic planet until my game crashed, and now i lost all my stuff presumably because i died 3 times, what do i do? [Bug]

I'm not in survival but the only grave i found was directly next to my spawn, and i wasnt originally able to do anything since everytime i died of extreme heat damage in 5 or so seconds, assuming it was a bug since entering my ship didnt stop it, and i wasnt close enough to a volcano to take damage.

My last save was several hours ago, am i out of hope?

#

infinite free dialect help? [Question]

Recently restarted NMS again in multiplayer Survivor mode & found a way to learn at least 2 of the alien languages for free with a few hours of patience. I saw a post about a glitched Vykeen, but these are 2 other races.

On a regular space station in my game there is a Korvax in a white suit that fails to scan you then offers dialect help, but doesn't run out of words to teach. I kept initiating conversation & choosing the dialect option on repeat & I've learned their whole language without going anywhere. Takes a few hours irl with breaks for hand cramps, but it's worth it.

Some higher level friends were checking out a black market space station & I joined them. There I found two geks (not next to each other) who will also offer to teach words repeatedly. I had to alternate between them because one would stop after 20-30 words and I'd have to hunt down the other to learn another set then repeat. One gek has a crown on, the other gek was wearing pink I think. This one takes longer than the Korvax, but still worth it.

Has anyone else come across these? I heard there was an alien on a planet you could pay to teach you words, but these lessons are free and the aliens are located on space stations.

New Adventures! [Question]

Hi all, I’m new to this game having only started a few days ago, I was just wondering if anybody here had any useful tips and tricks and just good to know/do things that a new player would have no idea/understanding of, thanks in advance!

#

Has the trigger for the free freighter encounter changed in the last 6 months? [Question]

Long time player who goes on hiatus for several months at a time. Started a new save with the outlaws update. Did the usual early game routine, warped a bit, encountered a distressed freighter and fought off the attackers. Got comms from captain. Was one of the generic tiny system freighters so I skipped it.

I have now warped 17 times since that encounter and have yet to have another run in with a distressed freighter. Has anything changed as far as these encounters go that I am missing? I’ve collected 3-4 solar ships and my ideal exotic (in the first outlaw station, what luck?!) already and I’m trying to find a garage for them before moving forward. Hopefully not a bug 🤞

TIA

No Man's Sky Blighted Expedition: Phase One: Liberation Mission Bug Fix [Bug]

I ran into an issue where I couldn't complete the Liberation mission in Expedition 6 so I thought I'd post it here in case anyone else needs help.

The bug: Upon completion of the freighter battle in the Liberation mission, the mission is not completed. Subsequent battles at not counted towards mission progress.

My understanding of the bug and the fix I worked out:

Go to the Expedition tab, select Phase One, then select Liberation. This will switch you to the Log tab and mark the liberation mission as active. Exiting the menu, you should get a notification at the bottom right for the Liberation mission. There are 3 cases here that you can encounter and it can be tricky to get the right one so I'll explain.

Case 1: There is no active freighter battle in the system you're in.

The notification will read something like "Keep exploring new systems until you encounter a freighter battle".

Case 2: There is an active freighter battle but you are not in the correct system.

The notification will read something like "The mission objective is in another system". Completing the battle in this case does not progress the mission, it only changes the notification back to Case 1.

Case 3: There is an active freighter battle and you are in the correct system.

The notification will read something like "Kill 8 pirates" and will count down with each kill.

I got stuck in a loop between Case 1 and Case 2 because, though I was being told the mission was in another system, there seemed to be no way of telling which one. However, there is a way, it's just not obvious.

Get a new freighter battle to spawn. The going understanding of how to do this is to wait 3 in game hours and warp 5 times.

If you are not in the correct system this should land you in case 2. Ignore the battle and go to your galaxy map.

Go back to the first few...

Did living ship upgrades get easier to find? [Question]

I know you have to go to certain kinds of systems and speed around and you'll find an egg with an upgrade. It used to take me maybe 20 minutes to get just one. I stumbled into a certain system and suddenly I'm getting one every 2-3 minutes! This is the first I've played since the patch a few days ago. Did they get easier to find, or did I get lucky finding a generous system?

Lost a day's worth of progress, help? [Question]

I played for a good 4-5 hours yesterday. Now I get on today and it's showing my last save was on the 19th, not yesterday the 20th. So the hours I spent playing yesterday getting in and out of my ship 100+ times which should effin autosave and all the save points I found did literally nothing. What the hell gives? This literally kills all my drive to play. What's to say any progress I make today actually saves? If anyone has any insight that would be much appreciated.

PC gamepass - NMS disappearing from HD [Bug]

Freighters are outdated & have become very buggy as a result of this! [Discussion]

Freighters have seemingly been forgotten, as a result they've started to become extremely buggy. Can we PLEASE fix Freighters in a future update to bring them more in-line with the rest of the game? Here's a quick rundown of everything currently wrong with freighters.

This part of the freighter can't be recolored or changed, it's stuck as whatever your freighter's original colour scheme was.

The accent colour option does absolutely nothing on the Venator family of Freighters. It's supposed to apply color change to the decals, but currently decals are rendered UNDERNEATH the main body of the Venator Freighters making the option completely useless.

The biggest Freighters doesn't fit inside the UI, leaving this awkward looking overlap. Not that big of a deal, but it could look much nicer, example below. If freighters were shown at an angle like this in the UI, not only would it fit better but it might even showcase more of the finer details off.

Speaking of awkward UI, let's look at the Frigate list..... Why does the Frigate list show 9 Frigates per page when the Frigate cap is 30? 10 Frigates per page would be much better. 9 per page with a total of 30 frigates leaves this awkward looking 4th page which only shows 3 Frigates. This page isn't needed if you just increase the previous 3 pages frigate display by 1.

NOW FOR THE BUGS.. You can actually glitch OUT of the hanger during the landing process which gives you a really cool view of your freighter base, but still should be fixed. Not sure what causes it, but it happens at seemingly random....

#

Leveling up frigates, a quick question [Question]

Hello, explorers! I have a quick question regarding leveling up frigates. I finally found a system that has the colors that I’m looking for, but it’s not a wealthy system, so I’m getting a bunch of C-class frigates.

When I look into each, I see the number of “encounters” it takes to reach the next level. But the numbers are super high, like astronomical. I just saw a C-class that I’d love to hire, for example, but just to reach B-class, it requires 402 successful encounters.

So my question is this: surely this doesn’t mean 402 individual outings/missions for that frigate. How many encounters does each outing offer a frigate? It seems like it could take waaaaay too long if it’s 402 separate outings/missions.

Let me know your thoughts when you can!

Anyone have co-ordinates for near max-slot Hauler(s)? I’d rather not have to spend in excess of 300 Million per additional slot, xMany [Question]

As the title asks. I had previously opted for sticking with my ‘Exhausted Birth HX1’, but even after the update I’m genuinely convinced it’s maximum upgradable Cargo capacity isn’t ‘42’; I’d even go so far as to say that it’s still, at best, half of that. Anyone have any recommendations on new Haulers or insight on the matter?

Does anyone have a sandworm egg I could permanently borrow? [Question]

I’d love to have my own sandworm egg but unfortunately couldn’t do the expedition cause I was on holiday at the time, I’m hoping people have been able to induce sandworm eggs and it isn’t a one per person thing, I’ll try to find some way to pay you back but I don’t have much to offer

Quick Appreciation Post for Bug Fixes [Discussion]

I've been playing NMS for a little over a month now. I've really enjoyed it and have had a marvelous adventure in my little corner of the galaxy. While I had a ton of fun with the game, I had issues with my base computers disappearing when I tried to move them, the game chugging into low-resolution textures after playing for a while, and some serious pop-in issues.

But I wanted to do a shout-out and praise the developers for solving all these issues in the new update. My base computers are back, all texture and graphical issues are solved, and the game looks and runs like a dream. The cape, the new dogfights, and new adventures are a treat.

So thank you. The bug fixes are a delight.

how much money per hour is worth my time? [Question]

I ask this question because I'm new to the game. Started playing about 3 days ago. I found a scalding planet that has extremely frequent fire storms. I don't survive very long without shelter. However, any time there is a storm, storm crystals appear. I managed to make about 1.8 million units in about 5 minutes. Is this a good farm worth my time? I don't know how much is considered "good"

I typically use my ship for cover when I need to regenerate my protections and the planet is also riddled with ferrite and hydrogen so I can craft as many thruster fuel things as I want so I don't have to worry about getting trapped at all. Thanks guys!

#

How do you all sort your elements in your inventory? [Question]

I've been trying my best to sort my elements. At first I was just doing it alphabetical but got boring, so I wanted to do it by the periodic table.

Unfortunately some are just impossible to sort that way, like Chromatic Metal and Paraffinum. Others are tricky like Ferrite Dust would be iron.

So what are someways you sort your inventories? Or if you used the periodic table too, how did you sort the elements not on the table?

#

Freighter Storage Unit? [Discussion]

I've looked up where I can get this but everything says it's pre available like I should have it at the beginning. The problem is that I don't have this available to build? How do I go about being able to build more storage containers on my freighters base area.

#

Better to be a Pirate or be a Mission Man? [Question]

Pirates obviously make 100% from selling anything they get from raids on Freighters. It’s all profit; especially when selling to appropriate systems respective to the gathered material. But you’ll never have good Standing with anyone.

Are the missions available at higher Standings worth it in comparison to simply raiding Freighters as a Pirate?

You may get some Walker Brains here and there but realistically, what is the bread and butter of doing Missions, since it couldn’t be the income (Being a Pirate is one of the most high income activities to engage in; 10 mill in 20 minutes when there are several Freighters in the system).

Thoughts?

ship battle rant [Discussion]

Got a rant. I like the ship fighting and everything but it seems that since the last update, the defensee ai is just a little too sensitive. I can understand them getting a little upset for constant misfire, but if you so much as tap the freighter for instance, it's over. Everyone is on you, a sentinel ship comes and it won't let off along with other ships WAY outside the battle. Its a little stupid to be honest. This needs fixed in my opinion. It just ruins that aspect.

I heard this game has improved, but what changed? [Question]

I've never played NMS, but when the game originally released years ago I watched big streamers play it.

I was impressed with how big the in-game universe seemed, how you could fly around to different planets and space stations and buy new ships.

But I tuned out because the game was incredibly repetitive. Fly to a planet with generated animals on it, do whatever you want, then fly to another planet with generated animals. The game was skin deep; it had no depth; it got boring real quick.

Everyone else seemed to realize the same thing and tuned out. Also the developers had promised a lot more and did not come through.

Now I've been hearing that this game actually got updated and is really, really good. But can someone clearly explain what was improved/added to make it good?

The Blight (of Communication Stations) [Suggestion]

Hello Games are incredible. Unfortunately, lots of people out there aren't so great. When I disable all online components for the game, it means I don't want to interact with any players.

For the most part, that works, except for Communication Stations. Undertaking any, literally any event, is a battle against dozens upon dozens of inane, childish, political, rude, and outright disgusting messages. When I play NMS, I don't want to deal with the real world.

Please, HG, give players the option to block other players, COMPLETELY.

Void Egg in Expedition Help [Question]

Tl:dr How can I use the portal to safely travel to the Elucid galaxy so I can input the coords for my Living ship once I finally find all these glyphs

Hey there, playing through my first full expedition, but stopped to detour and make my Living Ship from the void egg reward. I have all 4 of the items I needed to wait 25 hours for and am on the step where I need to use the portal and glyphs to get to my destination.

I've heard from multiple sources that we need to be in the Elucid galaxy, which we aren't for this expedition. Today im going to try and get the glyphs I need to travel, but im still slightly confused on what I need to do to travel to the Elucid galaxy. because as I understand it if I put the portal coordinated into a portal in a different galaxy it will take me to the destination in this galaxy and not Elucid.

When looking for more information about how to get back to where I came from so that I can finish the expedition stuff in the galaxy they put me in, I heard that you can use the portals to travel back to a previous destination, will it also take me to a station that I visited in a different galaxy? I have yet to build a base anywhere because I don't have access to a base computer yet (I'm going to finish the pirate map today before I attempt any kind of galaxy hopping.)

Long winded a bit but thanks for the help in advance friends.

Hardcore is unplayable garbage [Bug]

Was playing hardcore with my friend, we just got a freighter after being about halfway through the galaxy, on our way to the center. We warped in the freighter, goes through the warp screen and what do you know. The freighter isn't there on my friend's screen, and he somehow, defying physics, FELL in space, hit the "ground", and died.

I was thinking the game has come a long way and it's gotten pretty decent since launch. I take it all back. Why bother having a damn hardcore mode if you're bound to die to a shitty bug that's existed for 3 years. These devs are lazy and incapable. Having content such as hardcore that's unplayable due to their incompetence, is disgusting.

#

I have a "little" problem. [Question]

So..I already used my Station Override that I gained from doing a certain amount of bounties. The core of the space station refused my item and I lost it.

Is there a way to get it back ? Because..uh, I literally forgot to reload my save and I completed several quests without having a chance of getting the override back.

Do I have to finish an indecent amount of bounties or it's totally screwed ?

Seeing if anyone can help [Question]

I’m in need of a sand worm egg, quad egg, and a whispering companion egg if anyone has one of each they could spare on Xbox btw I’d appreciate it I’m on expedition mode rn gonna use this as my new normal game once the expedition is over since I deleted my last one.

Stuck at Ghost in the Machine [Question]

My friend and I were playing through the main Artemis missions when we got the the point in Ghost in the Machine where you have to infiltrate the Korvax facility. Thing is, instead of them breaking down the door, I was the one to land the final blow. Now the mission isn't giving them a quest marker and they can't progress through the questline. We tried reloading saves and restarting the game and nothing worked thus far.

Settlement Ground Level Raised [Question]

Atmosphere Farm [Question]

I was wondering what the best way to get the most radon, sulphurine, and nitrogen would be? Is the best strategy to find a star system with as many planets as possible? With only being able to put in 3 harvesters per planet that really limits the amount you can get from one planet and I’m looking to not hop from galaxy to galaxy if possible

#

Squads basically useless - visual flair only? [Discussion]

Hey folks. I just kitted out an S-class fighter with six S-tier mods each for the Positron Ejector, Starship Shield, and Pulse Drive (for maneuverability). Also, I used a mod to remove the Photon Cannon. Traded that fighter to an S-tier pilot with amazing stats and then recruited them to my squad. They're the only member, currently. Previously had a C-tier pilot on my squad to observe performance for testing.

Both pilots did about the same in combat - that is, practically nothing. Furthermore, the ship I upgraded had just the Positron Ejector as a weapon, and the pilot still used only a phantom Photon Cannon versus enemies. As is, apart from maybe looking kinda neat sometimes, these squads are effectively useless in real game terms, which is a huge bummer, because they could be really incredible in certain situations, particularly post-Outlaws, where people have so many complaints on being attacked by pirates while on the ground or in their settlements.

I personally feel like if HG was going to turn this system into something worthwhile, they would need to tone down player power a bit (fully upgraded Positron Ejector absolutely melts anything it's pointed at, even after the nerfs), and have squad ship and pilot stats make some sort of meaningful difference in combat. Being able to summon your squad from the ground would be great as well, since if they actually do damage, you could have them defend your settlement for you rather than needing to run to a currently non-existent anti-aircraft weapon emplacement. It would at least be a start, and would help a lot of folks who don't want to do combat get back to building.

What say you all to this? Any similar experiences?

Quick cross play question [Question]

Expedition 6 Liberation [Question]

Am I the only one who can’t complete the Liberation milestone? I’ve rescued probably 10 freighters at least. I took one of them but it wasn’t the first one and I’m wondering if maybe that’s the problem.

I’m not too too far into the expedition but I have enough completed milestones that I’m not looking forward to having to start over.

Crashing at my base [Bug]

Since the update I've been wanting to finally get a base built. But since I started building it, anytime I'm near it or flying to or from it my frame rate drops dramatically or the game will crash all together.

Anyone else experienced the same thing or have any building tips?

Thanks!

#

Why are you booing me? [Discussion]

In light of all of our wonderful and beautiful updates.. I once again am imagining a feature.. a feature such as a "Gate" quite like the "Anomaly" we could call upon that transported us to a instanced system where two freighter fleets are battling each other & where we would be assigned a team. Player Kills and Victory Conditions Award "insert new currency" that allows us to purchase new cosmetics and treasures such as quicksilver would. Why not? I think it would just add to the game all around. After said fleet battle is over we are sent back to our home systems. No inventory loss, no damaged ship. Just rewards.

#

Anyone tried to create a village with others? [Discussion]

I was thinking it'd be cool to get together with a few peopleand just build a village. You know everyone's got their own house, you could make roads, all that stuff.

I was wondering if anyone has tried this, if it's even possible, and most importantly if it's possible who wants to join me? Lol

If anyone's interested I'm usually online at around 1:00 am EST as I work the late shift. Just dm me!

Cant find a portal, am I doing it wrong? [Question]

2022 Salvaged Frigate Module / Cargo Bulkhead Farming [Question]

Do the old methods to farm either of these work anymore? I haven't tried the freighter run for the bulk heads yet, but I've been trying to farm Salvage Frigate Modules from other Freighter cargo pods for a few hours and have never seen one. Been searching for a guide but the newest is Aug 2021

(Expedition) Don't have Piece 1 of the Pirate Map [Question]

As the title says, I do not have the first piece of the Pirate Map in the expedition, nor do I have the blueprint to create it, thus making it impossible to assemble the full map. Is this salvageable, or is my only option to restart the expedition? I have completed all the milestones in Phase 1, and I have the other two pieces of the map.

#

Is there a way to connect supply lines between bases? [Question]

I have a home base setup on a floating rock (I will call it Base A in this post) and another base setup to extract gas (Base B) using the gas extractors, supply pipes, and supply depots that are about 800u away from each other. I am trying to get resources from the gas extractors in Base B all the way up to Base A for convenience.

When I daisy chain supply depots and supply pipes, I can see that the resources are being connected properly (showing stored items and information about the supply line) as long as I am editing within the boundaries of Base B (when placing a new item, the recipe pop-up on the right towards the bottom has a yellow line that says "Editing Base B"). I notice when I get within Base A's boundaries, the daisy chained supply depots will not have any resources or information about the supply line when I open the menu (as if they are not connected to any extractors). This is what causes me to not be able to access my items generated in Base B from the supply depot in Base A.

Is there any way that you can actually funnel the resources between bases? I was thinking maybe there is a limitation of resources generated only being detectable when within that bases boundaries, but I am not sure if there is a better explanation someone else may know. I know there are short range teleporters and base teleport modules that I could use that could shorten the travel time and just gather right by the entry points, but I wanted to see if there was a way to avoid that. Thanks for all that respond and I appreciate your answers and help, I'm coming back to the game after a few year break and am happy to see so much new content!

About the new ships, and their colors. [Question]

I'm seeing just about every solar ship with black/dark gray, lots of older ones as well. I know this was a glitch for a while, maybe it was just the all-black ships, but I'm wondering if this is going to stay or if this is a glitch? Wasn't black pretty much a "banned" color on ships? I want to make sure before I spend more time farming a good one.

Why Defeating the Sentinels in a Space Battle is still... Weird(?) [Discussion]

like... Im used to the Weird ITS NEVER OVER fights on ground from older versions... but they changed it to something that makes sense.

but forgot about the space battle, but I guessed its fine... after all the update was only about on foot combat.

but this update is all about space combat and... this is still an issue

it just... Doesnt make any sense, it looks like a bug, you kill all the sentinels, you destroy all their freighter turrets... and... Nothing, at least until you try to fly away and another 5th wave comes because... well... WHY?!?!?!

Like I don't know what should happen... after all currently defeating the sentinels only disables them on the current planet, so defeating them in space Can't have the same effect (because there is no current planet in space)

its really strange but who knows... maybe they'll surprise us in the next update.

any thoughts? this is an open discussion, tell me what you think about the matter.

Stuck and Frustrated [Question]

Hello World.

I'm trying to complete the Artemis Path and it seems I've hit a bit of a hitch. I'm trying to do 'The Space Anomaly' mission. It wants me to talk to Nada & Polo. I've done so, with the mission as my active mission, and it won't advance. I've run the Atlas Path, even dumping myself into a black hole. I only have 'The Space Anomaly' and 'Expedition Six: The Blighted' in my primary missions, and I've completed everything in the Expedition. What am I suppose to be doing here?

It's been a very long time since I've first done any of this and having started on an Expedition is throwing me off for what I have, what I don't, and how to go about getting what I'm after.

#

Are sentinels still endlessly spawning and detecting you even if you hide? [Question]

When I played 3 days ago, we took a mission to kill some aggressive flora. No big deal, but sentinels came, we killed them and ran. Buried ourselves. Nothing. Buried ourselves incredibly deep and then starting burrowing underground. Still nothing, they didn't stop spawning and no matter what we did we were caught. Hit 0 seconds, immediately detected again. I understand some patches went through in the last couple days but are people still experiencing this? It honestly made me not want to play at the time.

Tried searching this and only finding posts that are a few days old but some people just say to burrow underground and yeah that never worked, as it was always a quick method before. Thanks :) o7

Edit: To add, the reason why I asked is because I read some patch notes and nothing was mentioned of this issue.

Switching primary ships in hanger after Outlaws update? [Question]

“Additionally, players may now switch their primary starship while within their freighter hangar.” How does one do this? I see nothing new in the quick menu, and no new terminal in the hanger to allow this. Before, I’ve always switched my ships in the hanger by just hopping in, and I’ve seen no changes after the Outlaws update. Am I somehow missing the obvious?

#

WHAT IF?! Planets and Cartography (expansion) [Discussion]

Since No Man's Sky is technically about exploring ... there is really very little benefit to actually exploring. However, how about a Planets and Cartography expansion that encouraged exploring; unlike the current lack luster system.

A new ship module that would use a probe type system to get geological, mineral and atmosphere data (similar to Elite Dangerous). Upon completing the required probe percentage, the planet would automatically be 'completely scanned' and the player could then purchase a map (flat or globe version) for use and toggle in the discoveries.

The info within this map would show locations of deposits, trade stations and other such facilities. However, there would be more 'reward' for exploring specific sites or fog of war type map locations. The HUD would change and add a 'world map' type thing as seen in traditional mmo's like WoW, so, you'd know where you've been. No more walking half-calked and getting lost or walking in silly circles ... well, for those of us that hate relying on our ships for a beacon.

Just an idea based off another post mentioning the lack of exploration for an exploration game. :D (Not the most well thought of, but you get the point.)

Pirate Space Station quest bug..? [Bug]

Hi Guys,

Wanted to know if anyone has run into this same issue. I'm on the "Ghost in the Machine" questline and need the multi-tool merchant to bring to my terminal. Only problem is it makes you go to the space station in the system that you get the quest, but since mine is a pirate station there is no tool trader. Unable to reset the quest either.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

How do I recruit a squad member with a specific ship? [Question]

I'm wanting a specific ship in my squad, but every time it lands, it's always the same (abysmal) pilot.

Is there a way to get another pilot to spawn with different stats? I've tried trading the wanted ship to an S-class pilot and then once the ship lands again, its the same original abysmal pilot. Any help would be appreciated!

Sentinels disappeared (PS4) [Question]

So I was playing tonight for the first time in a month and I loaded in above my settlement and go down to check on it, to find out it’s under attack.

Any ideas of what I should do or where they might be?

question about planets... [Bug]

I'm about 50 hrs in and I found a planet that was designated as a 'Foaming planet', thought it was neat, set up a base. I went and did some quests and I come back to it and the planet has COMPLETELY changed. It's now a "Imminent core detonation" and all the fauna that was on it is gone and changed... Is this normal?

#

Just how (in)complete is Outlaws? [Discussion]

We have what I guess is supposed to be a new faction? Cool.

They came with an expedition of their own that ... never really went anywhere? The only new novel detail was that it now included a rather easy way to the center of a galaxy and the jump from there to the next. The entire thing took me 12:28 to finish, which does include me d×××ing around several hours for stuff I eventually didn't need, and it's still my second shortest time by just one minute. For rewards that are rather underwhelming, I mean some flags, the 2nd of 2 cape designs, and a buildable reskin, basically. Guess it's on par with ease/time of completion, at least.

What's it add to the game proper? Minus the rather big annoyance of too frequent (if not continuous) pirate attacks, and the ship cargo storage infinite sale bug, both of which are now fixed... Some overhauled space battles, because we need this space exploration game turned even more into a shooter, apparently. Random star systems turned into outlaw systems with pirates having taken control. Except now we can't even teleport to these, because clearance not granted - which makes me think it's supposed to be a reputation thing, something to grind out doing pirate missions. Makes sense, there's a new faction, they have their own missions... except there's no progress tracker of any kind, in fact they don't even appear as a guild in Milestones at all. Yeah, no, sorry, the guild ones are already tedious enough and those do have some quantitative end goal at least, if nothing else. Not much of a drive to repeat four basic missions ad nauseam, especially with the NPC being so evasive to target for interaction, for rewards that are measly amounts of nanite and units and mostly trade commodities - especially after that certain glitch. And the ones that aren't trade commodities? The passport is basically the next "relic", you just feed it to a station...

#

Is gas farming broken? [Question]

Spent an age finding and setting up an Electrical Generator and linking it all the way to my gas site.

Set up 4 Gas Extractors on an Oxygen hotspot, then 4 silos. Linked all the Gas Extractors, then linked them to a row of 4 Silos. All Extractors powered, Silos say Capacity reached not working. Played around for a while thinking i'd set them up wrong. Decided to rewire my Extractors and now however I link the 4 extractors together only the first one receives power. After some time, I managed to get two linked and working to power.

Still the Silos giving me the capacity reached warning. Logged off, back on. Two extractors filled, Silos now showing that they're set for oxygen and empty. They're linked to the Extractor but now being filled.

Is there a specific way i'm supposed to arrange the modules? I'm showing all blue electrical cables connecting my 4 extractors but only two of them have power. All 4 were working before, so it's not a power capacity issue. Also my Extractor is clearly linked to my silo via piping but nothing!??

Any tips please?

how many of you have never gone to the center of the galaxy? [Discussion]

i ask this because of the expedition. i have almost 200 hours in this game but have never once even tried to go to the center. never really had a reason to apart from following the story and i just never really felt a need to do that. with the expedition requiring it (and making it way to easy) i found it pretty neat to actually finally experience moving between galaxies. so now i am curious, how many of you have never gone to the center before?

UPDATE IDEA: Ship Customizer / Starship Engineers: [Suggestion]

Ship Customizer / Starship Engineers

This update would add the ability to craft and assemble parts to build your own Starship.

Starship Factory:

  • Located on resource rich planets

  • Houses Starship Engineers and Starship Manufacturing Stations

  • Starship Engineers sell recipes for starship parts and hand out missions (the rewards are rare starship parts)

  • Starship Manufacturing Stations allow you to assemble parts and build starships

Building a Starship:

  1. Locate a Starship Factory

  2. Craft the different parts of a starship (the cockpit, wings, thrusters, etc.)

  3. Assemble your starship parts at a Starship Manufacturing Station

  4. Build your Starship

Balancing:

This way of obtaining a starship would be much more costly than just buying one, since your get to fully customize it.

Resources needed:

  • 250-500 Chromatic Metal

  • 20M-50M units

  • ~250 of other resources specific to different parts (for example, cockpits would probably need glass)

Loving NMS! [Discussion]

I’ve only got about 60 hours game time. I played a couple years ago some and recently picked it back up. Man this game is fun.

Pretty awesome I can discover galaxies and planets even though I’m not that experienced. VR works really well also. Can’t wait to see what is added to the game in the future.

Also, this seems like a really good community. Always makes a game more fun when you have support from the community.

Pressing the “reverse” button and holding it during a fight = easy mode… [Information]

Came back after a few months off and accidentally figured out the reverse button doesn’t reverse anymore during fights. Just press and hold makes targeting and tracking pirates so easy, shoot one dead and keep the reverse button pressed and you automatically start tracking the next pirate.

Not sure if this is common knowledge and I haven’t read much on the new update but thought I’d post it here just in case. Anyway, enjoy!!

Some questions about settlements… relatively new to the game [Question]

Hey guys,

I’m playing through the expedition and got my first settlement! Yay!

However I have a few questions:

  1. Can I access my settlement anytime even after leaving to a new planet or star/galaxy?

  2. How long do I stay in the settlement?

  3. How often should I visit?

  4. Do I need to fight sentinels often? If so, should I bother upgrading my multitool as in still on the base version w/ bolt caster

That’s all for now!

Deflec cargo scan spam [Suggestion]

I dont know if someone else found this but you can spam Deflect cargo scan through a shortcut and it will result in passing every cargo scan.

I truly think it makes the game better, the only times i get caught its when im distracted with the inventory or something, in the endgame its nice to be able to skip those fights.

Hi all, just wondering if anyone else is having the same issue as me. No matter how much I pulse around systems the outlaws mission just does not want to trigger. Anything I’m missing?

#

Salvaged Frigate Modules? [Question]

What's the most efficient way to get salvaged frigate modules? I've been destroying freighter cargo pods for 2 hours and haven't gotten a single one. Am I doing something wrong?

#

Sentinel Walker? [Question]

Tonight, I was alerted to a sentinel attack on my settlement. When I arrived, I quickly dispatched the flying sentinels, but found myself under attack by a Walker. I can't seem to damage it. I've tried taking out the legs, and I've knocked the armor off the legs, but I still can't damage it.

To make matters worse, now I have a wanted level for some reason, and regular sentinels are attacking me, too.

I eventually just had to hop in my ship and fly off because the damn things almost had me dead.

What can I do?

How far should you try to refine before you sell? [Question]

Feels like you could keep setting up farms to go all the way but it seems like it would take forever and a lot of foresight. Up until now I basically just set up an "illegal" Nip Nip farm on my freighter but want to do more.

Most topics I've seen say just go lubricant or living glass and sell from there, I managed to find an activated irdium deposit next to a radon one I also have have a ton of frost crystals growing near my settlement on a planet with tons of carbon (like 200 per plant) so I have pretty easy glass and enriched carbon what's the best thing to look for next or to where to go from here?

The Blighted expedition is the best one yet [Discussion]

I just finished Expedition 6, and I feel this is the first one to have really struck that balance between being long enough to get stuck into it, without being super grindy.

The only other expedition I've finished was Pioneers (the first one), and that passed the stage where it was fun after a few hours. Attempts to get on board with later ones just fell away for me- I got stuck on the one where you're stranded on a planet for a long time because the minotaur bay build limit had been reached on the starting planet and I couldn't get to another player's base to find one.

But the Blighted had that nice balance, introducing new features whilst making you interact with different mechanics in order to progress. I enjoyed the more narrative approach to some of the objectives and the progression felt very natural. I also felt the game was more stable than in my previous experiences- going onto planets with lots of bases was usually a death knell for my xbox, but it managed pretty well here, although there were issues with things not loading in straight away that required a reload of the game to sort. But I'd rather have that than a complete tanking of frame rate.

The only criticism I might make is the reward for completing it is a bit underwhelming- I play first person and single player only so cosmetics aren't really that important to me (I went to the customiser for the first time when I unlocked it, and hadn't realised that I'd been a korvax for the duration of my run). But then again, I enjoyed the Expedition enough that I don't really mind that, because the experience was worth the time I put into it. If I compare that with Pioneers, which I didn't enjoy; I really wanted the Golden Vector, and was determined to complete it for that prize alone. It was mostly worth it (especially being able to use it as a jump start in other saves) but it wasn't fun to do. So...

Am I A Greifer? [Question]

I built my Base Computer next to a Portal on a Infested Paradise Planet and spent 30 minutes trying to build a base, couldn't make a base I liked so I reloaded my Autosave to fix the Terrain. After I loaded back in I saw a another base next to the Portal like mine, I like the base they had so I looked around YouTube and found the base they made from Double Dash Gaming (The YouTubers Name) and then made it. Thought it would look nice to have the same bases around the portal besides a crappy base I would have made (not the best at base design). I finished l the base yesterday and got in today and they left a Communications Station saying I am a Griefer. I would like to point out I've done nothing to there base, I haven't built on it or messed with the Terrain. Am I a Greifer though? Just to clarify, yes we can build on each others bases because I placed my Base computer before the players base computer showed up.

#

wishlist [Suggestion]

I wish that they would add these features to the game

1 destroyed planets, the planets that you find could be split into several pieces which would look amazing

2, bigger stations with potential for mini games like pvp battles that other players can bet on who the winner will be, or official races that you can do in space meteorite obstacles

3, the more you learn the language the more you can understand when passing by a Korean or get or vykeen

4, make landing more difficult I.e make it so that when you come in to the atmosphere at too high a pitch you can do damage to your ship, or if you go too fast in the atmosphere you can do damage your ship, and when you are not landing on a landing pad you have to land manually.

5, customisable ships, I think that we should be able to customise the look of our spaceships to a certain degree, or the ability to build our own ships with a new storyline

6, the ability to claim entire solar systems and control its respective space station, fend off attacks from pirates with your new squadron that you can make even bigger when you own a solar system.

Base Deleted [Question]

Hey! So I wanted to move my base to another location and I read I can just delete it, which I did. The wiki says I am able to recover my items via a base cache, but I can't find the base cache. I reckon I need some sort of station first?

#

I have lost my way in the expedition. Need help finding the pirate portal world again. Possible spoilers [Question]

I followed the expedition up to the portal. Followed the pirate map to the portal. Landed saved and then logged off. Came back later on and realized that I never saved a screen shot of a animal on a world with glyphs. So I traveled all over the place tracking it down again and in the process I forgot to copy down the system that had the portal towards the Center. I have tried making and using a new pirate map and it’s not showing a location. Because I made it to the portal and claimed the rewards the expedition now shows the expedition line to the Center of the galaxy instead of the planet I need to find again to warp through the portal to the close to centre system. I am 700,000 Ly away from centre. Does anyone know the system that has the initial portal towards the centre?

Cannot find "Abandoned Vessel?" for Outlaws [Question]

I'm fresh into this game with under 30 hours. Occasionally playing with friends. I've been grinding solo from time to time for Units, Nanites, and Quicksilver and in the process of that, Pulsing through Space, I ran into the "Abandoned Vessel?". At the time, I had no clue what it was, and must've missed the fact that I was supposed to use my Communications to interact with it.

With that being said, I ended up leaving the ship alone, and going on my merry way and return to the grind. However, after my friend telling me that the ship was my way to start into the Outlaws update, I continued to try and Pulse through space just to get that encounter again.

No Luck.

Did I completely miss my chance to do it, or will it come back around? I've found multiple other Encounters and Anomalies, including Derelict Freighters and other odd things, but still no Abandoned Vessel. I've watched YouTube videos saying I need to Pulse around for upwards to 2 minutes, and I swear I've done that, but still haven't encountered it again. I really want that damn Hood.

But again, did I miss my chance entirely?

#

No Man's Sky version 4.0 and onwards. Is a 4.0 happening? What could be coming? [Discussion]

I know we only just got the Outlaws update, but my mind always wanders with this game's infinite potential. We've come so far since the launch. We've gone from solitary explorers stuck in the first person, to a vast community of unique characters all adventuring together!

But... what comes next?

In no particular order, my wishlist:

Updated Exocraft Colossus becomes a 4 person craft - with multiple weapons and seats. Driver, Turret, 2 small pilotable drones. Make it the multicrew miner/combat vehicle Roamer buggy gets 1 extra seat for co-op turret control More reasons to use a ground vehicle. Minerals that can only be mined with a vehicle laser. Blighted/Scorched/Toxic areas that require vehicles to access, as on foot is too dangerous.

Ship update Advanced flight model - lateral and vertical thrusters for more refined control when floating around space anomalies like freighters Shuttles - can carry up to 4 players. They're shuttles. Make them a space bus. Haulers - second player seat - turret for extra defence against pirates Solar ships - toggle the sail. When it's up, faster but less manouverable. When it's down, you're in combat mode.

Frigates Multicrew pilotable frigates - Allow the player and up to 3 friends to fly a frigate. Deploy fighters from it, use the turrets, warp to other systems. Playable frigate missions - Land on a frigate and the captain can take you on missions to other star systems.

EVA Get out of your ship in space and float around. Explore derelicts from the outside, scavenging for cargo Find floating scrapped ships you can salvage/repair via EVA

Oceans revisited Deeper oceans. They're mere puddles right now, and I want to explore further down. Underwater caverns where there are pockets of air. Hidden ruins/treasure/enemies.

Dungeons Use derelict freighter tech to create new types of...

Sentinal nest/pillar [Question]

Hi, I've not played in a long time and I just started the expedition. On the planet you spawn on I uncovered a buried cache and it had a map to a sentinel nest which is now showing on the planet as a sentinal pillar. This sounds like it could be bad news for a newly spawned in player. Should I check out the nest or leave it well alone?

Looking for someone/people to play with [Question]

I played the game on pc for a couple weeks a year or 2 ago but I have a PS5 now and looking to buy the game after work today. Anybody interested kn teaming up? The main reason I stopped playing was because I had nobody to play with.

I'm mid 20s so only looking for people 18+ and I'm from Ireland so preferably UK/EU people for connection.

Cheers

Smuggling with freighter - no cargo scans? [Question]

So, last night I sold a few NipNip buds from my expanding farm (a perfect example of how drugs become much more interesting once it is illegal...). I didn't really think of it until I was about to sell, that I had stored them in my freighter out of convenience because of higher stacking, but, then it struck me: I could just warp my freighter into system and go and sell them in the station directly from the freighter without worrying about cargo scans at all? Has anyone experienced any scanning of your freighter? If so, then smuggling has a really simple loophole :(

#

First time [Tweet]

I played No Man's Sky for the first time yesterday evening.

1: I'm in love with it! 2: I forgot about the time so I went too late to bed.

Last time I had that happen to me was at least 10 years ago.

My mining farms arnt gathering resources. help pls T.T [Question]

so ive been having this issue sense shortly before the outlaw update was launched. before the launch i had several massive activated indium farms that worked aswell as a couple oxigion farms. Ive already checked the wiring and the pipeing. and if i am standing there they do work and start to slowly fill with resources. however if i leave the area ( like flying to the other side of the planet for exsample ) the farms will claim they are completely empty and not have any resources in them even if they had gained some while i had been there prior. i usually only play the game with multiplayer turned off so the possibility of someone sniping my resources is non existent. and im able to visit a few farms i got the cords for on the NMScordinantexchange reddit and those farms still work..... is anyone elce having issues with there farms????

So, let's talk about the small Update [Discussion]

So at the 19th another small update dropped, bringing some fixes for the outlaw update. Some were really necessary, other...not that much.

1st of all, the smuggled goods were bugged, they didn't sell for the profit price, only the normal sell price. Now that works as intended, but it seems like i'm only able to get 5%ish bonus, even if i carried it to a 3star economy trading post.

Another big part, i didn"t see it on the patch notes either, the gachas got some nerfs. You had access to hundreds of X class tech, an insane amount of expensive items via the "goods" cache and more, just by purchising loot crates at pirate systems. And all those were being sold in 70+ packs which had the combined cost of around 60k. Pretty broken, now the contraband seller sells less and at a much higher cost, but it looks like the terminals on trade posts still sell a lot.

And at least, the infinite sell glitch with the ship cargo inventory got fixed...kinda. at the moment the wares on your ship cargo slot don't even show up when you are selling. Not the fix i expected, but yeah.

Well those were the main things i noticed and wanted to comment. Did you notice anythin else off? Or maybe i'm not doing the contraband sells correctly?

Expedition problem - no base computer ! [Question]

Can anyone help with this please, I'm almost at the end of the latest expedition, I've got loads of the construction components unlocked, but can't use any because I don't have a base computer.

I can't see any way I can make or buy one in the anomaly, don't recall ever having this problem before, it was always just 'there' waiting to be placed.

Sell me and my friend on the game [Discussion]

My friend bought a PC a while ago and I’m on Xbox and want to play with him again and I’ve found out no man’s sky is cross platform and I’m pretty sold on it and I think I may have convinced him but just to be sure what do you actually do in the game YouTube reviews are pretty vague on this and I wanna know if there’s a lot of stuff to do to keep it fresh

PC gamepass behind on updates? [Question]

Hey all, I'm pretty new to the game(14 hours across 3 days), and I got the game with the pc gamepass, however the newest update seems to be Frontiers, not Outlaws. I'm just wondering if this is know, and its always behind updates.

A list of what I think could be done in future updates. [Discussion]

No mans sky is great, we all know this, we all get it. You seem to always have a goal in mind when you play, and when you do its awesome fun! But it doesn't feel very... coherent if that's the right word. It doesn't fit together, playing the game just feels like a checklist of very similar things, and the special things are often rather short. So, why not an update introducing more varied content? More planet structures, different creature behaviours, more rewards for scanning and exploring, different types of planets if we really wanna go big. Because whilst the game does have LOTS of content, it's not really consistent to the core of the game; a massive exploration game with entire galaxies in your reach. Why not expand more on this? Not just variation for models, not just for planet types, why not in time give an overhaul to everything? Make the game feel more rewarding! Stunning even. Update water, add beaches, probably a stretch considering hardware, but maybe sometime in the far future biomes depending on where you are on the planet, maybe more structures with their own activities and rewards, what about other explores from races you can find similar to fallouts encounters? They could work for different factions! Maybe add more space anomalies! This game is great. One of my favourites of all time, and I can't wait to see where it goes in the future. Thank you hello games, and thank you if you read this far! What do you guys think?

Can't recolor new base building structures [Bug]

An idea for more dogfights in space [Suggestion]

Maybe if enemy ships had a weaker shield at their back, that would be an incentive for us to leave the place, to maneuver and try to position ourselves at the rear of the enemy ship.

With that, we would have two non-excludable possibilities of playing: Stay stationary, heavily weaponize the ship and focus on good aim; Maneuver the ship in motion and have the shot at enemy's rear as the climactic ending.

Changed trade terminal economy [Question]

By the outlaws update have they changed the amount of things you can buy from a trade terminal? It does not matter if its a 3 star or 1st star its always the same amount kind of. Is this a bug or Im a just unlucky? You used to buy like 4000st of one thing in a 3 star economy but that does not seem to be the case anymore its just barely a 1000st of one thing: example 1000 oxygen or 4000 cobalt (cant seem the find a system that sells that 4000 amount anymore just under 1000) (If it has been already answered or mentiond in the patch notes I delete this post)

Cannot open the "Manage Fleet" Tabs [Bug]

As what the title said. I cannot open manage fleet and squadron. I can click them but nothing happens. I hear the sound when we click to open a window and I am not lagging.

Nanite farming [Answered]

Hi, lads what's a consistent farming method for nanites in this current update. I personally used to turn tainted metal into nanintes and I would get somewhere around 2000 for each derelict freighter but I don't want to spend credits everyday to do that so what else could I farm, produce or explore to get a decent stream of nanites. I want to upgrade my ships class to S and I need 40k nanintes.

Past Version of Me Left Me a Gift! [Discussion]

So suddenly having three new ship slots, which I immediately filled with three beautiful solar ships that I am now itching to upgrade, I've been looking for space station tech vendors with the S class modules I want, and lamenting how long it will take to find the number and types that I need.

Then last night I happened to spawn in all of my exocrafts, because I wanted to remind myself which of them might still not be fully upgraded (since was going to be travelling around looking for S-class ship upgrades, figured I'd watch for any exocraft modules I still needed too)

And what did I discover? Oh YEAH! That's RIGHT! I DID completely fill my Colossus with S class modules, like a year or more ago! Back then I was habitually buying them in case I ran across a ship so beautiful that I would need to buy it and max it out, and I stashed them all in the exocraft I never use so that they would be out of the way but available on demand!

Then I forgot about them. Now, I need them, and like magic, they appear. Thank you, Past Self!

How many planets in one system? [Answered]

So, does anyone know how many planets there can be in a singular system in nms ?!

I have personally only found systems, with up to six planets in total… but does anyone know if you can find systems with up to eight or more maybe ?

And also how are moons displayed when your about to jump to a new system does it count as a planet… so like, if the system have five planets and one moon, will it say six planets or..?

Seems something rare has happened. I have stumbled upon a player within my spawn system. [Discussion]

Finally got the supplies to craft and power a teleportation terminal

I noticed a planet and base I didn't create, and wasn't familiar with. I just started playing last night, so my understanding is it's a very large universe and very very rare to come across players or evidence of them. My original spawn system isn't where I set up shop. I came across a tropical planet today and moved shop there.

I ventured through the teleportal, selecting Starry Sky's "Rietus" as my destination.

This is the base I ended up coming out of

It says Starry founded the base and discovered the planet today. What are the odds.

I set up a small outpost ways away with a flag, in hopes I may be able to establish contact. I did not see this happening so fast, though my goal was to find someone at some point.

I get lost in this game. Any tips on how not to get lost? [Question]

So I played the game for about 70 hours a few years back. I always want to come back with the updates, but whenever I come online I just get lost. When I first played, I put down a portal on every planet I found interesting with a code that allows me to easily see what the have. I no longer have the legend of my code though, haha.

I'm just wondering, do you guys put down a lot of portals? How do you name them? What type of planets are worth keeping a portal on for further exploration or farming? I have one base on a planet with Storm Crystals and one half-finished base on a cozy planet.

Another hotfix, but Under a Rebel Star is still bugged. [Bug]

At this point, is there some way I can edit my save to either delete the mission and/or just give myself the hood?

Honestly I could maybe be patient about it, but the damn thing is pinned to my screen no matter what other mission I select. It's making it really hard to do some nexus missions when I don't have the objectives pinned on the screen. (And in the log, they're usually not precise like "scan 12/14 minerals")

#

When (if ever) are we going to get a "Shipyard" Update? [Suggestion]

I just want an "end game" base component that can only be built planet side called the shipyard. The Devs could make it stupid expensive or something. We kind of already have the asset in game at settlements. you have to bring ships back to your base and destroy them to then "learn" the pieces available to build a custom ship. if you find a ship with a particular component you want, you have to plan on taking it back to your base, not just destroying it at a space station. the base item could use stupid amounts of power where you might have to turn off certain base components to build a ship. Or, you'd need a B class or better power area. could randomize what single blueprint is learned when a ship is destroyed we could have more than 6 ships (9????) and choose which ones get deployed with the freighter. changing the color of items could take large amounts of specific minerals depending on complexity making a ship would require hermetic seals, steel plates, heat capacitors, ect..... making those items more than trading only. and/or, utilize the components from system space station destroyed items. once a ship is put together, you'd have to collect certain items (like a mission) and then once they are collected and handed over, the ship could take "days" to build, again depending on complexity. could have to hire one of each additional alien to "man" the shipyard start with only making shuttles, then upgrading the yard to make explorers, etc...

In my smooth brain here, I would think this could be "lighter" update as far as complexity because all of the items/assets are already in the game.....

But I'm an idiot.

Dear HG: I will never ever ever ever ever ever ever ever need emotes to be accessible asap. [Suggestion]

It is so, so, so frustrating when I need to recharge my multi-tool or hazard protection and the quick menu immediately goes to the power-up option sometimes but other times goes immediately to the emotes. And there's hardly any way of predicting which it'll choose.

I will never ever ever need to use an emote that quickly. I will, however, need to recharge my hazard protection often in a harsh environment.

Please be consistent at the very least.

Intergalatic Milestone [Question]

I'm getting fucken pissed for multiple reason for this fucken milestone. I watched videos, they don't help it's literally just them selecting galaxy center boom a singular line pops up to warp there (and before anyone mentions it BOTH my ship and my freighter are full on hyperdrive fuel). Every time I select "destination: Galactic core/Mission" I get a long string of warps that don't take me anywhere. I'm in a euclid system as well so I don't understand what I'm doing wrong. Yes I use moue and keyboard, no I don't have a working controller (mine won't charge).

So What Now? (Expedition 6, new player) [Question]

So I finally took the plunge and dusted this off in my steam inventory to try the expedition. Having a blast, but curious as to what to do next.

I have rescued the freighter, and have been building up some resources but i don’t really know how to get a base computer blueprint since the quest that appears to reward that doesn’t seem to happen on expedition mode. Do I have to search for local trade desks? Do missions? I would like to unlock vehicles to make planetary exploration more efficient/fun.

Jumping ship from Elite Dangerous [Question]

So ive been playing Elite Dangerous with mouse and keyboard since about 2015 or 16 whenever updated 1.2(powerplay) came out. I really like the flight controls for elite I.E. W- Throttle up, S- Throttle Down, A- Yaw Left, D- Yaw Right, Mouse Y-Axis - Pitch, and Mouse X- Axis Roll. Is there anyway for me to change it so that i get the roll axis for ships on the Mouse X-Axis instead of NMS's default to make X-Axis Yaw only?

TLDR: need to swap Yaw from Mouse X-Axis to A and D, and Roll from A&D to Mouse X-Axis.

Any help would be appreciated.

Is this a cool glitch or have I missed something? [Question]

I took command of a settlement and started building a base about 1000u away from it. When I later returned to start the next settlement building all building were gone, all that was left was a bunch of poor settlers on a grassy field.

I assumed this was a bug so I reloaded and everything went back to normal. Started the next settlement building and went back to the base, but when I returned a second time to the settlement it was once again gone, but this time it was replaced by the base I started a 1000u away.

Once again I reloaded and everything went back to normal. I then left the system to wait for the settlement building to finish up, and when I came back my base structure had once again been teleported to my settlement, but this time the original settlement structures were still here! AND the base (from 1000u away) have disappeared along with the base computer.

There is no base computer in the settlement, just the structure that was built at the original base, but I can place new base structures inside the settlement now.

So, have I missed a obvious feature or stumbled upon a bug?

Station override [Discussion]

What would you like to see added to the game when station overrides are implemented? My idea is that when we override a station all prices would go back to 0%. Also it would be interesting to be able to make a network of our own with all the stations and to be able to assign different designations like something similar to a pirate station or an anomaly station where players could trade freely or perhaps some type of stations where we could find a broader range of items. And this could tie in to abandoned systems or systems with no station at all where we could put resources into bringing life to said systems and have a certain degree of control of over them while trying to resist the sentinels influence. What do you think? What would you like to get from station overrides? Off topic: what do you think about pirate controlled frigates and freighters? But only in pirate controlled systems.

My theories about the lore of NMS and why we still could (and should) get cities at some point: [Discussion]

In the beginning of the game, the sentinels were literally on every planet and their lore had them "aggressively ensuring the safety and stability of all biomes under their protection", aka, not allowing anyone to build anything or even mine on the surface of planets without being wildly attacked. Of course, in the real world this was due to the limitations of the engine at the time and the incomplete procgen algorithms, but as Hello and team got more experience under their belt they were able to refine things and create a more coherent backstory, which leads us to:

The Atlas Rises update, where we found out that all of the NMS universe takes place in a massive, malfunctioning simulation that the creators are unable to properly control any longer, and the "monitor program", Atlas, has gone rogue and is trying to remake the universe in its image, but may also be dying, too, as it's an intelligent AI. This, IMO, was added to allow Hello to tweak aspects of the game as they wished and allow for "gamification" in-universe much like the first Animus in the first Assassin's Creed game. Universe reset? Atlas malfunction. Changes to procgen? Atlas is figuring things out. And as the links between isolated Anomalies become stronger, that becomes:

The NEXT and Next Generation updates that first allowed and then beefed up proper multiplayer, in-universe that is accounted for by the Anomalies (players) having a much greater in-game presence. And due to our not being limited by the constraints of the simulation, literally not being NPCs (kek) we can make changes that Atlas can't control for, and we start pushing back Sentinels faster than it can rebuild and repopulate them. It can't do a universe reset anymore either because that risks the entire population of Anomalies now linked up to it (IRL of course it's because Sean...

Game good for online co-op? [Question]

Got this game at launch, everyone knows how that went, haven't really touched it since. My friend and I had a recent let down with dying light 2 and hoping to find something fun to play together. I know this game has come a long way since its first iteration, whats the state of co-op though? Worth diving into? Thanks

question about forged passport (possible bug) [Bug]

Ps5 vs PC performance [Question]

Hey all. I finally got my ps5 and have been looking for new games to play. I heard of NMS when it first came out and never got around to playing it. These days i know it is a highly praised game despite the rocky launch. I am entirely sold on the game as it looks amazing and is definitely my type of game. However, I am not sure which platform that I would get the beat experience from. I have both the Ps5 and a PC with a 3060 ti in it. Which platform should I get it for/ would have the better performance?

Question about getting a new freighter [Question]

I built a huge NipNip farm inside my current freighter. If I buy a new freighter, do I automatically lose all my plants and all the materials I spent building the hydroponic trays? Do I lose everything stored in the storage rooms? Do I lose the frigates I managed from that freighter?

I'm confused about what transfers over and what doesn't. Should I dismantle everything I can and put the materials in my ships before I go?

If you block a player, can they still follow you around and bother you? [Question]

My husband and I have been building on this planet and some random was at his base when he logged in today and wouldn't leave him alone. The guy kept trying to kill my husband from the second he saw him, got in his ship and tried to blow up the base. We've got pvp turned off and base/terrain edits set to group/friends only. We could just up and find somewhere else but this is our permadeath save. Leaving means losing several days of love, labor, and loss for these bases and it's a paradise planet with low sentiles in Eissentam.

Rendezvous 4/Portal [Question]

So I've been having trouble with the galaxy center not being able to warp to it. I stumble upon information to where you have to be at rendezvous 5s' system in order to warp to the galactic center. If someone can supply the coordinates/system for either the portal or warp destination that would be appreciated as the devs made a giant oversight in people accidently going off track and basically never being able to return unless they loose all their progress in order to finish the fucken expedition.

NMS currently lacks satisfying progression, here's my suggestion [Suggestion]

So, unlike just about every other survival crafting game NMS doesn't really have much of a progression track. Sure, you technically get better ships and tools, you even craft upgraded hyperdrives to reach different stars but those are basically a joke to obtain. Ships and multitools aren't things you really works towards, either, and are rather just...random chance. Even with the ability to buy new slots and increase the class of each, you're not getting those very easily even as a late game player since they're prohibitively expensive! Upgrade modules do kind of work as a form of progression, but there's no scaling— there's no track— you can just shoot for S class ones right off the bat and ignore everything else.

So, I did a bunch of thinking on what might make for a more satisfying experience in my eyes. These are just the ramblings of someone who thinks about games too much sometimes, not at all like, an actual plea to Hello Games to do anything— it's more like a thought experiment! So, here are my ideas for a smoother and more satisfying progression track;

Gate class by overall progression, be it ships, tools, or modules. I'd take a page from Starbound with the licenses you can work towards to upgrade your ship, and create a series of quests and/or crafting requirements to progress through each class. Once you rank up, you should see way fewer of the previous class of item. (Ex. once you hit B class, you no longer see as many Cs. This makes it more of a reward than "oh you can access S now but it's so rare that doesn't really matter lmao" and also makes the random dice rolls of the game more forgiving as you progress!)

A more traditional crafting progression. Rather than just being able to do basically everything from the start, I think having a clearer track from say, copper, to chromatic, to the three colored metals, and...

Question about language learning [Question]

I've been having a ball learning Korvax one word at a time, but I just got an item that claims to be able to auto translate alien languages after a few conversations.

Voice of Freedom/Under a Rebel Star Question [Question]

I found the outlaw base, and I started some Voice of Freedom Quests. However, I seem to be stuck on the Under a Rebel Star quest. It says to explore the Outlaw Station, but I think I saw everything, but the quest mark does not get checked. Eventually, I left the Outlaw Station, but now everyone I talk to anywhere, instead of their usual dialogue, talks to me about the Voice of Freedom, and says "welcome glorious survivor". Is this a glitch? Or is this supposed to happen? I have no idea what I am supposed to do.

So my freighter just shapeshifted [Bug]

A few days ago I farmed for an S-class Dreadnought. Got it after some resets and now it just... changed. I don't know how better to describe it but I warped and now it's a Resurgent. Cargo, upgrades and everything are still there, it just decided to change shape.

Does anyone know what may have caused it? I wasn't doing anything out of the ordinary, just warping to the rendezvous point using the freighter.

And more importantly, is it reversible?

This community is amazing! [Discussion]

Let me start by saying I’m somewhat new to the game. Played during the initial launch and only recently got back into the game so things are MUCH different.

But I just have to say THANK YOU to all the kind souls out there that take the time to help fellow players out. From giving free stuff away in the Anomaly to setting up bases along the Expedition path. This is my first time working on an Expedition so I wasn’t too familiar with how it worked. But I do understand that this game mode is limited and everything you do does not affect your primary game. So I was confused to see bases scattered around different worlds and thought “Why would people make such nice bases for a temporary event? Isn’t that just a waste of time and effort?”

Boy was I wrong. Some bases are purposely set up for players just starting the Expedition to get a jumpstart on various things they’ll need throughout their journey. Like decked out with resources to sell for units, ways to quickly stack up on nanites, vital resources used for crafting/survival etc.

It has helped IMMENSELY with getting some things done that would have otherwise taken AGES to complete. It’s just nice to see the COMMUNITY part of the Expedition experience being emphasized and I’m sure Hello Games is stoked about it as well.

Its probably always been like this since Expeditions were released but seeing as this is my first time, it was just something I wanted to show my appreciation and gratitude towards because I know players that do this most likely get nothing out of it and get no thanks either.

Infinite Sentinels at Settlement? [Question]

Hi

I've been away for 3-4 days - now that I'm back my settlement is 100% sentinel alert (from 10% before) and after killing like 10 waves it's not stopping them from spawning nor decreasing the alert.

Is this a bug or do I literally have to kill dozens of sentinel waves.. or something else?

Unable to find storm crystals for expedition [Question]

I haven't played in a few years so I didn't know what storm crystals were and although I found one early on I sold it for cold hard cash. Now I need one for repairing the freighter and I can't find one.

I read that they can be found on planets with extreme weather conditions and activated ores of which there was one in the starter system. However, the sentinals there were extremely aggressive and it was impossible to search for crystals in a bad storm while fighting off waves of sentinals.

Can someone please enlighten me on a better way to get one?

Space station ownership ideas: loans and police. [Discussion]

OK so hear me out, forgive me if this is incoherent I just got off the night shift so my brain is kinda fried from being up up night.

So, people keep asking for space station ownership in a future update, building on this, I think a system of loans and debt should be introduced so, while with settlements you're trying go get out of debt, now you can be the one putting others in debt!

So, say you own a station right? You have an office past that door next to the trade terminal and all that. In there you can make upgrades to your station, make trade deals with passing freighter fleets etc... but part of that I think should be another outlet (and profit stream) for your gargantuan Scrooge McDuck-ian vault of credits, loans!

Set your minimum credit scores to ask for loans, set your interest rates etc...

Various Gek, Corvax and Vykeen come to you and ask for money, they outline how much money they want to borrow, and how good their credit is. You might get a Vykeen who wants to raise a warfleet to go and plunder some systems with a turbulent credit history, which could be a "great risk, great reward" setup or a Korvax who wants to set up a research station which can reward you not with credits but a steady, gradual stream of blueprints and upgrades to various tech for free, or a Gek who wants to set up a business in the system which can promise not huge but a safe gradual repaying of the debt. Every type of loan can just go bad though, maybe a bad creditor who promised a huge return on investment just disappears so you can put a bounty out on them, the higher the reward you post, the less such shady charlatans will risk borrowing from you, maybe the vykeen warfleet ran smack into a sentinel ambush, the research station was destroyed in a natural disaster or the Gek's business got raided by pirates. Maybe even someone you gave a loan to was a pirate and...

What to do when you can’t find wiring looms? [Question]

I need wiring looms for my new starship but I can’t find any :(

I have visiting the space station and an outlaw station and trade outputs but none of the trade outposts in either system or their stations were selling wiring looms.

I want to fix up my ship so how do I procure wiring looms now? Do I just have to start jumping to random systems until I find one that sells wiring looms? Because I don’t feel like grinding and making warp cells for that many jumps 😅

Did the new patch fix the starship cargo selling glitch thing? [Question]

Hey travelers. A week ago I found out that when I sold things from my starship cargo I would get the money but the product would not deplete. I read about it and it seems it was a known issue. Haven’t updated the game yet but was wondering if that got fixed (didn’t see anything specific in patch notes I’ve seen so far). I’ve shamelessly used the glitch to get to 5 billion and yes I know it’s chump change but as a new player I was thankful to use the glitch to buy my first starship. Just curious. Happy traveling guys

Hello Games should make Star Wars games [Discussion]

I don't know about anyone else but I think given the success of No Man's Sky, if I were an exec at Disney I would make a very strong case that Hello Games should be given the licence for Star Wars. With what they can do with a procedural universe is nothing next to astounding and I think their creative take on any era of the Star Wars universe would be incredible to me. Tell me what you think and why you think it would be good or bad if Hello Games could make licensed Star Wars games.

No Man's Sky's Improving Combat [Discussion]

So, let's a have a quick discussion. Now that NMS's combat is getting some love, both on the ground and in space, is anyone else ready for the two to go hand-in-hand? I'm talking enemy and friendly ships fighting in the sky above me while I'm fighting enemies on the ground with some allies protecting my settlement. I wanna start seeing this stuff meld together. Maybe have space battles that transition to ground combat where you have to land in the enemy frigate and capture it? What about underwater combat? It doesn't need to be anything massive, but would be cool. Also, what about battles between the other NPC races over control of a system? Stuff like that.

New update changed the sail shape on my Solar Sailor. [Bug]

So I just hopped on the game today after the most recent update/patch and decided I wanted to fly around in my solar sailors. One of them was how it was originally, but the other one I noticed the sail shape changed from the Hex to a Rectangle; which sucks because it was one of my favorite ships. Has this happened to anyone else after the most recent update/patch.

High CPU usage causing FPS drops [Question]

This has been happening for several updates. Just walking around the planet, every 10-20 seconds my CPU usage spikes to 100% and my frames drop to anywhere between 3 and 20.

Drops still occur with no other programs open, turning off Shadowplay used to fix it but after Outlaws it’s back.

GPU drivers are up to date

“NumHighThreads” is set to 6, and “TKGRAPHICSSETTINGS.MXML” is set to read only.

Changing graphics settings has no effect.

Occurs both in single player and multi

Happens regardless of location (planet, station, etc.)

Specs are:

i5 6600k, GTX 1070, 16gb RAM

Game is installed on a hard drive if that matters.

Really want to get this fixed, it’s been driving me mad.

Spent about an hour making a spot to harvest gas. Once it was completed I saved and logged off. Came back and it's all gone. Whats the deal? [Question]

So yesterday I found a gas deposit I planned to harvest. Built a small base with just a landing pad and teleporter. Logged in today and finished laying the power and gas extractors. Left for lunch and when I got back it was all gone, items in my inventory had been reverted too. It appears that the game loaded an old save? There was a small patch when I logged back on too.

I made sure to enter and exit my ship before logging off, saw that it said "your last save was 10 seconds ago". Is there something that I might have done to trigger this? Is there anything I can do to prevent it in the future?

Any kind interlopers willing to trade/give a sandworm egg? [Question]

While hunting for freighters, if you accidentaly trigger the battle in the wrong system you can reload and use teleporters, portals and freighter warping to get to the correct system without triggering the freighter battle in undesired systems. [Information]

So I followed the freighter hunting guide: 3 hour in game doing stuff and 5 jumps. Problem was I got the coordinates right but for the wrong galaxy. So here I was, 3 hours waiting and I couldn't jump to any system with my ship or it would waste the battle trigger and I'd have to start again.

So I reloaded, warped to a base I have near a portal and inserted coordinates for another system with a freighter I wanted, this time in the correct galaxy. Next thing I did was to warp to a nearby syste with my current freighter, go to the ship bay, get in and out my ship to create the save point, and then I warped back to the system and it triggered the battle correctly at the right system as usual.

If you don't have a freighter yet, just search for a cheap c-class one and buy it - if you're out of cash you can teleport to another players farm or grind the cash for it.

Changing Construction Opportunities in Settlements? [Question]

Advice for early bases? (New Players) [Question]

Heyo! So my gf and I are new to the game. She's managed to make a really nice base we've been using as a hub (when it doesn't get eaten by the terrain on my end lol), and I was wondering...

Not necessarily as a "main" base (since I figure a peaceful/safe planet in a wealthy system would be best), are there any smaller bases that we'd benefit a lot from having early on, for farming or anything else? Or just stuff that's worth not waiting on? We've hopped the first couple systems, but that's about it so far.

Thank you!

PS5 turning itself off when editing character? O.o [Bug]

Ever since the recent Outlaw patch, my ps5 would turn itself off whenever I’d spend a little time in the character editing thing inside the anomaly. Id have to unplug my ps5 and plug it back in for it to work, it’s never done this with any other game/ scenario, and I can pretty much play the game for hours without issues, it’s just as soon as I edit my character it shuts off, anyone else having this? ;-;

Just a simple Thank you [Discussion]

I just wanted to express my gratitude towards the veteran explorers here. I see many posts questioning how this game is free, which is a praise in its own right thanks to the developers. But I’m a young explorer, just 30 hours in my own exploration, but I’m completely captivated and humbled by this community.

This a community every gamer could hope for. It’s helpful and respectful. Yes, trolls may come around here and there. But they’re quickly shutdown by a gang of sentinels protecting what is right.

Established ports and bases for newer players to gain some income, communication station markers. Or just dumping a thank you gift. It’s all logged and noted.

Thank you, it’s a simple thank you. But during our time and age, it’s a grateful one.

Just found out how to profit off smuggling… sharing to anyone else interested! [Discussion]

Hi! I’m relatively new to this game and this is my first expedition and I think there may be people like me out there. I just figured out how to smuggle properly!

Instead of buying contraband and smuggling it in, it’s cheaper and more profitable to attack freighters and cargo in outlaw systems because most of their cargo pods contain things like grahgrah and other contraband. This way you save the money you’d lend on buying it and just sell it!

I’m sure everyone has figured this out already but just sharing in case someone didn’t realize yet!

Looking to improve base building skills and need to be challenged [Discussion]

So I want to continue getting better at building in general. I’m fairly good with glitch building techniques and have pretty much everything unlocked. The problem is I suck at coming up with ideas for what to build. Can some of you challenge me with an idea of something to work on and I’ll post what Ive built as my interpretation? Also i think it would be cool if someone were to host base building competitions (themed or not themed) where players can sign up for it and maybe have separate signup lots for different levels of base builders. Just base building challenges in general would be really fun and helpful to open up peoples creativity and help them want to learn. Anyways, if you guys give me ideas I’ll try to build them all and post them to see what everyone thinks. Thanks!

Anyone else having an issue where you can’t damage enemy ships? [Bug]

Not sure if this is a well known bug or not, or if maybe I’m doing something wrong, but I just ran into two ships in the span of 10 minutes that I just can’t damage in the slightest. They get all electricity-y, but that’s about it. One was just an AI civilian ship flying around, and the other was the last sentinel during the four star phase.

Just a question regarding the act indium farming method. [Question]

Is there a recommended drill to storage ratio? I am looking to make a few hundred million every time I sell. I have a C class deposit next to a B class EM hotspot.

Discovered a trick with hiring squadron members. [Discussion]

2 things, one i learned from someone else, and the 2nd thing i figured out myself.

1: If you find a pilot you want but you don't like the look of their ship, you can first trade them your ship for theirs and THEN hire them as your squad member and they will take your old ship. even if its a living ship. under some situations they may instantly fly away after the trade, so save before hand. and do this in a regular non pirated station. thats where i have the most luck of avoiding that. you also want no items to be in the ship before the trade.

2: the trick i figured out is, after they leave the station with the ship you gave them, if you wait long enough, a copy of the pilots look and a copy of the ships look will come flying into the station and land. the pilots stats may not be the same though. why is this a cool trick? well what if you want all 4 squad members to be the same rare ship, but you only have one? such as a living ship? well this trick lets you do that with just one. or if you want the ship back for yourself as well.

Allow Starship-class mining lasers to be equipped and use the same mining/shooting logic as on foot - you can break open some rocks/objects with guns but get minimal resources, while mining properly gives you better yield. Seed space with defined, resource rich asteroid belts located within planet orbits as their own objects that might specialise in certain planetary materials, or occasionally rarer elements. Create a new Miner class of ship as a Hauler variation that specialise in mining yield and ore capacity. Add new objects of interest that give a chance at super rare materials if you have the right mining modules equipped.

I dunno, just feels like there's an opportunity here - it feels a bit silly to be farming silver/gold with blasters when the rest of the game has such a nuanced and complex resource gathering and refining system. What do you reckon? Anyone keen for a Space Mining update?

Sooo how exactly does AI/ship spawning work? [Question]

Hello all,

I have a question I've had for a while that I'd like to know the answer too. What are the details of exactly how trader starships spawn? Are there a set number of AI traders in a system that can appear anywhere, anytime? Or do they just randomly spawn and despawn? If I give a ship to an AI, will they reappear in that ship? Or will they just respawn in another ship like it? I've noticed that there are a lot of twins in my system; two ships with exactly the same name and pilot land next to each other. What's that about?

Sorry for all the questions XD Any details on the subject would be helpful. Thanks!

TL;DR: The main things I'd like to know are 1) How exactly AI trader spawning and/or roaming works, and 2) Whether you can reencounter a trader with your old ship again.

Screenshots are blurry? [Question]

I have a decent system and as such, I have every option set to the highest setting. This means "Ultra" for most, DLSS set to quality, and so on. The game looks amazing and stays pegged at 144fps (144Hz G-Sync monitor) so it runs great. I even have Steam set to take RAW screenshots, which come out so well in other games, but even those are blurry and pixelated. What can I do to make my screenshots look like my game?

For those who will ask, system info is below.

Core i9-11900k

64GB Corsair DDR4-3200

RTX 3080 Ti

ASRock z590 Extreme

Windows 10 Pro 64bit OEM

1 x 2TB WD Blue HDD for the OS and storage

2 x 1TB WD Black HDD (single platter) in BTRFS RAID0 for old games

1 x 2TB PCIE 4.0 NVME for big games like NMS and Ark

3 x 1TB PCIE 3.0 NVME for not as demanding games

Question about Squadrons [Question]

am I being dumb? Powering my base [Question]

So I've been away from the game for a while and came back for the Outlaws update. I've built myself a base using the wooden parts but how do I power it?

I have my solar panels and I have my full batteries so now what?

Ship Name Retention [Question]

I have wondered: If you own a ship, give it a unique name, then trade the ship off to an npc pilot, does the name stick with the ship? Like, if another player buys that same ship from that same noc pilot later, will it still bear the name given to it by the original player owner?

Not sure this is worth the effort, I feel like I'm going crazy lol.(Freighter color question) [Question]

So a while ago I finally managed to get an S class Resurgent freighter at the time I had about 200 light year warp range and ended up hunting in 2 star economic systems to finally get one took over two days.

What I didn't realize at the time was the color a black and green spotted patina was a point of some controversy after saving up some nanites I managed to buy white paint to see what it would look like as a white star destroyer but as you can likely guess I couldn't change the main color.

After searching some topics say this is a bug and others say that color is just the bare metal color and can't be change, regardless before I got to far invested into upgrading it I figured it might not hurt to have one I could color change since I invested this much time already.

A few hours of hunting and I managed to find a yellow one and keeping my manual save separate bought it and tried to turn it white again which worked this time only with one tiny cavate, the hanger bay remained bright yellow no matter what I did.

Frustrated and this deep already I reloaded my manual save and began again searching for hours until I finally found a white resurgent freighter with a red stripe that made it look like a venator class star destroyer(Also I knew at least stripes seem to change if I want it all white) made an auto save in the station(didn't know to do that the first run of this) and started reloading to get an S rank one.

It was here I started noticing some "odd" happenings, this system has weird [Redacted] planets if it makes a difference but when I first came in well the main freighter was white the accompanying ones were that black and green patina, at least most of the time anyway...

Every now and then they would be white as well when I reloaded which was odd but it wasn't until one run the main freighter...

Looking on the bright side. [Discussion]

I was excited to install the outlaw update and explore what it had in store. I thought that the game would keep my saved data considering it had a single save file. Sadly, that did not come to be. Once the install was complete, I realized that it had completely deleted my old data and I had no way of recovering it.

But, I'm taking it as an opportunity to start over in a brand new version of the game. I know that there are a lot of new ships and missions to do that I can explore as a fresh character. I remember in my old save that I wanted a different style freighter, so now I can look for the one I want that I'm satisfied with. Not only that, but a new ship inventory and rep with the races will make it feel like a brand new game again.

Hope to see some of you out there!

Can ships be lost forever? [Question]

Heyho,

I just found the new solar ship, repaired its launching thrusters and impulse drive. Found another small freighter vessel and did the same. For both I clicked "claim ship" before, not exchange.

I am still landed with my base ship besides the freighter, but not with the new solar one, which is in another solar system AFAIK.

Will I be able to track that ship down somehow? Or is it lost? In another safe I reverted the freigher was gone from it's crash site after me returning from the anomaly. The ship was claimed, but not repaired at that time.

Thanks for helping me out :)

Need help with the pirates, can't do new combat with RSI [Question]

Okay, so first things first, I have pretty bad RSI. I can't really play this game with a keyboard anymore, and before the update, whenever I was in combat in space I took it slow and just used the rocket launcher, and everything was fine.

At some point a few months ago all my controllers seemed to get a lot floatier, but it seemed to mostly be in NMS. I'm playing on PC, I have an XBox controller (that kind of has too much resistance for my hands tbh) and some PS4 controllers. It might be related to me moving some cables around with the bluetooth dongle connected to a usb-hub and swapping for some (supposedly) better cables, or maybe it was an NMS update that hosed the responsiveness for me. Needless to say I find aiming pretty much impossible now with the controller and am constantly over-correcting, and it would help to know if this is just my machine. The controls got worse before the major combat updates, which didn't seem to change responsiveness at all.

So, with the sentinels update, defending my settlement because a massive PITA and a (literal) pain in my arms, because I can barely aim at anything. I am trying to play the Outlaws expedition and can't seem to kill a single pirate now, since apparently you just have to hammer them until their shields go down, which isn't for long at all, and THEN kill them now? I'm not sure what to do at this point. I've been obsessed with this game for 3 years now, and suddenly I'm afraid I won't be able to play anymore. I can't have a long drawn out combat where I'm holding down triggers a ton and clicking lots of buttons, because of my disabilities. Maybe I can learn to adapt somehow but so far it just hurts.

Am I playing wrong, and there are some better tricks to killing them? Is it just the first frigate rescue mission in the Blighted Expedition that is tough somehow? Is there some way I can fix the...

Main mission bug? [Bug]

So I'm on the Alone Amidst the Stars mission at the point where I have to talk to the lifeform to locate myself on the starchart. Only there's no one to talk to. I did the triangulation, built the translator, learned the words and all that. It gives me the marker where the lifeform should be at a trade post but there's no one there. Just absolutely no one, not even npc pilots landing. I've tried going to other trade ports but the marker never moves. Am i screwed or is there something I'm missing?

Upgrading Ships/Multitools Class - ever worth the cost? [Question]

I have a B class solar ship that's quite pretty, but is there ever any justification to actually try and scrounge the 25,000 nanites just to bump it up a class rather than just finding a better ship? Same for tools: the price just seems exorbitantly expensive.

I assume a large part is to encourage going and finding things instead of just improving what you have but if it's gonna be that expensive why include it at all, unless it offers some genuine advantage?

Has anyone ever paid for the upgrades and is it at all worth it?

NMS Giving Me A Slight Existential Crisis [Discussion]

Hello Travellers!

First off, newer here to NMS. Couldn't afford it all the way back at launch, and given how that went at the time, I'm okay with not getting it then. Fast forward to recently, I was constantly hearing from a podcast I listen to about how there was new content after new content, and each one was fire (and also somehow free, absolutely mad), and it was amazing now. So I bought the game on a recent sale just before Outlaws' announcement and I've been loving it. Even convinced a friend to get it too.

Spoilers ahead:

Going through the story's main quest ( The one with Artemis, Apollo, Null, 16/16/16/16, etc, not the Atlas Path. I was initially rejecting the Atlas- well, until the end of that first quest ) I was really excited about playing that quest, with frequent breaks for side quests, Anomaly missions for money, base building, Freighters, the Outlaws Expedition event. Then came the end of that quest.

Now, this is a space exploration game. You already can feel small and insignificant. Then came the part where you decide if you want to end Artemis' "life", or upload him to a false-reality. Part of my brain already clicked that this game was really a bigger simulation, story-wise (Because obviously any video game can be considered a simulation. Thats not what I mean)

Then the end of that main quest confirms that brain-click. We are all simulated. Reality is about to reset. Everything meant nothing. Everything means nothing. I feel even smaller and insignificant. Found a neat hexagonal planet, though!

So now I'm going on through the Atlas Path. Don't spoil that questline for me! And remember to stop and observe the beauty of simulated life!

A cool side effect of playing NMS [Discussion]

Something cool I found as a parent while just dicking around in NMS: my 6 year old was watching me play, and I was able to relate to her how we're on a planet (Earth) and our planet is part of a solar system, which is one of billions in our galaxy.

Scale aside (planets IRL aren't that close together), my six-year old now understands that planets orbit a star, and the star orbits the center of a galaxy, and I'm up to the hesperious Galaxy so she kinda gets that on top of all this, there's more than one galaxy in the universe with all these stars and planets. The only downside: she's now tasked me with finding where earth is in the game, so I'll need to show her how none of these galaxies are the milky way in the game, but she's going to be so much better equipped to comprehend the universe than I was at that age.

I've been a fan of this game since day one, but damn if I don't have so much more of an appreciation for this game now.

I wish smuggling was harder and more rewarding [Suggestion]

I love the addition of smuggling in NMS but I really wish it was more high risk high reward, as right now it is no risk medium reward.

All you need to do is to buy the contraband, port to your base and port to a space station and it has cost you no warp or launch fuel and there is no point at which you can be detained and you make an ok profit per run.

If you want to play it the riskier way you fly into the sector and start flying towards the station and you may be scanned by a sentinel interceptor which will stop your pulse engine. If this happens carry on flying towards the space station and then your pulse engine will become available and you get away.

Personally, I would much rather you were unable to port into spacestations with contraband, even from your own base and if you get caught you start on wanted level 3. If they do add the risk this way (and the input requirement with the need to use warp cells) I would also hope they up the reward for selling contraband

#

I got multiple questions [Question]

Most of of my questions relate to the story/main quests. I kinda just wanna be done with them so I can just explore around the galaxy without some larger narrative following me around instructing me to save Artemis or whatever. So, I know that you get to reset the universe or whatever at the end of the main quest, but what exactly gets reset?

Will the game try to make me go through the entire storyline again? Like as if none of it happened before?

What about secondary quests, like the outpost staff quests, will I have to repeat them too? If not, does the recreated universe come with all recipes already unlocked or what?

Im assuming all currencies and unlocks get reset, does that include quicksilver, the currency that is rewarded from doing Story quests?

Speaking of Quicksilver, what exactly is it used for? It looks like itd be some sort of premium currency, but Ivent seen a use for it anywhere.

Are gravitno balls supposed to be this effective at earning units? I feel like no other method even compares.

Thanks

A question about technology upgrade blueprints. [Question]

So I'm pretty new to the game and just found my first merchant on a planet that sells blueprints. That dude now sells a B grade upgrade that let's me breath 28% longer under water.

Now my question is, if I buy the blueprint are all of the upgrades that I craft gonna be 28%? Or are the stats gonna be random like when you buy on and have to install it first and I would have to craft a few to get the good stats?

I probably won't buy the blueprint cause I don't have too many nanites, but I would like to know for when I find a blueprint that I want.

Quick edit: I already googled for an answer but couldn't find anything, that's why I'm here. If the is a answer on Google and I didn't find it a link would already be enough. Thanks.

Does anyone know how long it takes to rank an A Class pilot to an S class? [Question]

I'm just wondering because getting an S class pilot for my royal squadron is such a pain in the ass to do. When you trade ships with an S class pilot, he does not stay the same pilot which sucks. So I have to hunt different systems hoping the swapped pilot is an S class.

Buying ships for free/Possible item and ship stat duplication glitch??? [Bug]

Hello, new to the game (<50h save), so sorry if this is already known or something like that, but if it's not, here it is.

A little while ago I found out you can buy ships for free in the space stations. How you do is you get a ship that's in high value (as high as you can get), and whenever you see a ship you'd like to own (or scrap), you go to the owner, you swap ships with him, go back to your previous ship that he owns, and claim it, because for some reason the cost of claiming is free.

Note that after scraping the ship you just "scammed", if you have a ship in your inventory, it will spawn as if you're scrapping normally, so you get 2 ships of your own in space station

Now the item and stat duplication glitch with this, honestly I don't have a lot of clues on how this happened, but it happened.

Due to things stated above about your personal ship, I had 3 ships on the space station at the moment: The high value A class "Flipper", recently bought S class fighter and S class exotic.

While doing the scamming, I got an alert that inventory won't carry over, I thought I must've mistook and selected to trade my exotic, however as I look into the "Flipper's" inventory, all of the items and upgrades, as well as the Rank got copied over, meaning, it went from A to S, as well as the few items that I had.

Any thoughts?

How easy is it to have a "private" co-op experience? (PS4) [Question]

I've been playing since late 2019 and know a lot about the single player experience, with about 500 hours in my main file. I've always low-key wanted my gf to join me but NMS has never really interested her, as she's more of an action gamer. However, the Outlaws update has really gotten her attention and she's mentioned slight FOMO watching me play recently. I'm not gonna get too hopeful, but...

Anyway, she has a lot of issues with being online in games. She actually keeps her ethernet cable unplugged from her PS most of the time, only plugging it in to occasionally grab updates and stuff. She just really doesn't like being connected to the world. She knows she'd have to in order to play with me, but she's been asking how exactly co-op works and how privately we can play, and honestly... I don't know. I dip into the Anomaly now and then and turn on MP, but for the most part, even in Expeditions, I'm a solo player. Mainly cause I like to do my own thing, but also largely because I'm one of the people who encounters a ton of crashes and stuff with MP on.

That brings me to my other question, honestly... Is that fixed yet? I don't mind having it off since like I said I mostly just do my own thing, but if she does get the game and wants to play with me I'm gonna have to turn it on and I don't want the game to be crashing every 30 minutes again. I've had it off since the Frontiers update. Haha.

How does procedural generation work in this game? [Question]

So i know there are virtually infinite unexplored planets that exist in this game. I haven’t bought the game yet (which I plan too.) I know you can name planets and essentially claim them as your own because who else is ever going to find your planet? But my question is, are all 80 something quintillion planets already generated? Or are they generated for the first time once a player first enters its atmosphere? And I know the individual planets are the same for all people who happen to visit that particular planet. If the planets are generated upon discovery by an individual player who is playing offline, how is that same individual planet going to be the same for other players? This may seem like a stupid ramble but im just really confused as to when planets are generated and how it carries over to multiple players experiences.

My Friend on PS5 needs help [Question]

Me and my friend are trying to do the new expedition but once loads in he can’t interact with anything, at all. Say he was looking at an oxygen plant, and he went up to it to try and collect it no ui would show up whatsoever he would just stare at the plant. It’s the same for him trying to interact with his ship, a light, a container or even my character nothing shows up at all Does anyone know what we can do cause it really sucks and he can’t even play the game anymore
