VR Index Bindings Opinion [Discussion]

Looked through some Valve Index control bindings and decided to just make my own, and I would like some opinions/critiques on how it looks.

​

I used the default bindings except for changing the following:

All stick clicks are changed to the same-controller touch pad top press. This is mostly the delete, discard, and perform scan stuff. Building modes are untouched as I haven't done much of that in VR yet and the touch pads are used by default.

Triggers don't have to be fully clicked to work.

Left touch pad bottom set to Inventory.

Right touch pad bottom set to Options/Discoveries.

Left B button set to change weapon mode since it was no longer used by Options/Discoveries.

​

My goal was to change the stick clicks to prolong their life without drastically changing the layouts and forcing someone who was used to the default to completely relearn how to play.

Other Index users, what minor tweaks to the default controls have you used and does this setup sound intuitive/simple to use?

I have a newbie question about atalas quest line and center of galaxy. [Question]

So back when that stuff came out it used to be if you go to a new galaxy you would lose all your progress from the previous galaxy. Or if I remember correctly if you went through the story line and made it to the end, if you choose to go through then you started the game all over in the new galaxy (having to buy inventory slots and all) is this still the truth or is it safe to jump galaxies and actually complete the story line?

I hope I make sense and am remembering correctly

Just started playing again since 2018... [Discussion]

As the title states above, I have missed quite a few MAJOR updates. I've never stopped following this sub because, despite having deleted the game (mostly to make room for others until I got my external drive), it was so awesome watching how Sean and his team have powered through all the criticism and rough patches to give us a game SO much better than originally promised

  I'm not much more than an hour in on a new game (had to start over with all the new things to do; I want a fresh experience) and it's already so apparent how much the game has changed - and for the better. I'm having a blast and it's funny how after 4 years, some things like remember weather effects and life support charging were like muscle memory. Can't wait to see what else unfolds and blows my mind...

  I decided to post this here because this is one of the best communities in a sub I've ever experienced. Even in it's darker days, NMS has always had a ton of support and constructive criticism from you guys. The best part is they LISTEN. Another interloper has fallen back into the infinite universes and with this newest update, I give this sub full credit for making me re-download the game and start, what is now, a fresh game with so many new ways to play it.

  Thank you guys for being the best! And thank you Hello Games for spending 5 years making this game amazing with updates, that could be called DLC, all for free!

Living Ship quest [Bug]

Right, so I'm doing to quest for the living ship organically, because I see no reason to speed it along. I haven't played in a while and it comes along as part of the current expedition.

So yeah I was just letting it go on its own and one day I noticed that my void egg at one point duped itself, and I don't know how or why it did that. I just left it alone, because whatever it was just chillin in the inventory anyways. I have a mature heart, brain, and shell, and went along to do what I thought was the next part of the quest. It just gave me a second fragile shell, and now it wants me to wait another literal day for it to mature, at which point I will have two hardened shells.

So yeah, what am I supposed to do about that? Can I fix it, or will it at least progress normally after this point? I didn't dupe anything or receive an extra egg from anybody; a second one just appeared on its own.

Ships graphics switched???!!! [Question]

So I was in an exotic station, salvaging for storage augments and the strangest thing happened.

My solar ship graphic switched to my explorer ship and all my mods, and storage that was on my Solar ship are now on an exotic (the ones I was farming?) Did I just experience some strange bug, or is this somehow possible? I saw all kinds of weird stuff happening, such as two ships in ones spot, etc. I left, went down to a planet, exited ship, and restarted the game and the ships are still swapped.

A realization about the universe of NMS. [Discussion]

So, most of us know the lore of NMS. To catch some of us up to the lore, I'm going to badly summarize it.

A long time ago, there existed the First Spawn. They were basically Space Nazis. They destroyed entire planets and species, and enslaved the Korvax. Then attacked the Vy'keen, who were fighting what we know as Sentinels. And then, after some convoluted stuff, the Gek were turned from intergalactic genocidal maniacs, into money loving capitalists.

But I had a major realization after seeing an image of someone having built a destroyed AT-AT and using its bowels as an Outlaw Station. Why aren't we finding more war wreckages?

And I don't mean wrecked Freighters. I mean, giant war machines. Walkers, Hover Tanks, Artillery, etc.

Though, one could argue that after the War, the three remaining civilizations all cleaned up the wrecks, but they couldn't have gotten all of them. That'd be a lot of wrecks to clean up, and considering these three civilizations just fought an extremely brutal war that nearly made the entire Universe filled solely with Gek, I don't see them making a major deal about leaving behind a wreckage or two.

And now, with Outlaws out, there could be another War that could happen. It's obvious that the Outlaws aboard the Outlaw Stations don't want to be tied down by the major civilizations, so why wouldn't they openly begin fighting and taking over systems? Think of it as a sort of...Communist Revolution, BUT IN SPACE. So now that there's potentially an entirely new War over the horizon, why aren't we seeing ancient wreckages of ancient war machines? Why aren't we seeing more recent space skirmishes and battles between the Outlaws and Civilized Space?

plus, where's my defense turrets to defend my settlements and bases dang it

Egg Sequencer Gene Splitter Anatomy Materials: any info resources out there? [Question]

Unless I'm just blind or something, I can't seem to find any good resources on the wiki or elsewhere to tell me what items can be used to mutate what parts on what animals. I've seen things like use a storm Crystal on dragons to make a griffin, but I have no idea where to start or what to try using.

I'd like to try doing something with the flying worm pet from the Expedition rewards, as well as something with this tentacled flying flower creature, but I don't even really know what classification either of those ends up belonging to. Oh, and this fun Osteofelidae I have.

Squadron stats go with the PILOT, not the ship? [Question]

I'm sorry if I don't explain this well. I wanted to see if you could get an S-class squadron by carefully choosing your pilots, rather than your ships.

I got a solar sail ship, which when I tried to recruit it from the pirate system, was always a class C. So I bought the ship instead of recruiting the pilot.

I then went to a non-pirate system, and checked the pilots on the incoming ships until I found one that was an S-class (when in the recruiting screen, not the buy ship screen). I found an S-class pilot, and traded them their random explorer ship for my solar sail ship.

I waited for that pilot to return in my solar sail ship, and when they did, I recruited them.

Once recruited, they weren't an S class, but they were an A class, much better than my original C-class.

​

Has this test been done before? Are there repeatable results? Is it worth it to look for good pilots rather than good ships?

Does the class of your squadron make much difference at all anyway? earlier reports said in a fight they're pretty terrible regardless of their class, but I haven't been reading the sub-reddit religiously.

An Idea for Modular Ship Customization [Suggestion]

This idea was actually posurized by my girlfriend.

Obtain modular parts from scrapping ships.

Bring them to a garage, either built by the player (large prefab base part) or spawned in on a planet similar to trade posts.

Park a ship you currently own.

Able to swap out bits and pieces of the same ship type, paint your ship, add badges etc for units.

Garage would also have the ship salvage station like there is aboard space stations.

Perhaps for a large sum of units, be able to create a ship from scratch.

Each ship part has its own added stats. IE big cargo crates, large cargo space.

I thought it was a neat idea. I for one would adore this.

Not getting freighter rescue after Outlaws patch... [Question]

OK, I think something may be wrong with my newest character. The game spawned one freighter rescue since I have been playing (almost 20hrs now). It was a star destroyer style and I saved it but was unable to answer the comms because the authorities found something they didn't like in my inventory (Gek nip or something common).

I desperately want to enjoy NMS, but... [Discussion]

...it's so riddled full of bugs, weird/inconsistent mechanics, and half-thought-out gameplay that I just can't. This game is utterly limited by the original scope and, I'm guessing, underlying code that it will never be what it could be. Brass tacks - this is a single player exploration game underpinned by extremely limited procedural environment generation. It's not a co-op/multiplayer game. It's not a storyline game. It's not a base building game. It's not a visuals game. It's kinda-sorta a crafting game. It's kinda-sorta-not-really a survival game.

I enjoyed the game right at launch and got my share of hours out of it, but very quickly realized there was no reason to do any of it beyond seeing the next bland world, so quit. I jumped back in briefly when base building got added, but it just couldn't grab me enough to get through the updated starting missions. I've jumped back in with the latest update because some friends wanted to try it. I've DESPERATELY been trying to enjoy it and have honestly had some good moments, but I've come to the final conclusion that this just isn't a very good game.

Too many times have I run into some weird mechanic that breaks what I'm trying to do and/or forces some stupid workaround. Too many times I've had a mechanic that worked before no longer work. Too many of the base building mechanics are utterly stupid. (A base has a 300u radius, but can be painstakingly pushed out to 1000u by building more stuff? But that isn't actually a 1000u radius, it's literally a single arm that reaches out 1000u? And if you remove the garbage you built to push the border out so that you don't have garbage in the landscape, it forgets that the base border got pushed out? Get out of town.) The co-op/multiplayer is atrocious.

Void Egg quest post-Expedition 6 [Question]

I've finished Expedition 6, in this new galaxy. I have this void egg, and I just got to a spot in the questline where it looks like I need to use a portal to jump to Euclid.

First, I'm not sure how to find a portal in this new galaxy other than blindly searching planets. Any tips on that?

Second, at the end of the portal coordinates the egg is giving me, it repeats "Euclid" a few times. I'm assuming this means the coordinates are for the Euclid galaxy, not my current one, is that right?

Unbelievable RNG today. [Discussion]

What a day. So I've been slowly working through the expedition, still on the first leg as I'm a get my self set up type of player. So this morning after work I log in and start building bank. Thanks to the Chlorine Farmer who set up a starter help base. I've been bouncing to solo and heading back before bed each morning 20 min in my 8 Large refiner and I got bank. Anyways. I finish up, pretty productive morning, got some more salvage data, a few more materials to add to the storage containers. Built up a pretty nice base on the freighter, as I said pretty productive, time to hit the bed. When I got up this evening, I grabbed some dinner and I have like an hour before work. Load up NMS. Decide to hit a black market system to see if I can get me an S class Solar to salvage. I warp in to a capital ship in battle. Now mind you I've only been in the game for 5 min, and my bank isn't exactly ready to be buying a Freighter, S class or not. But ya'll know this game, and we Interlopers just can't resist right? So I zip to the station, make a save, bounce back out, send the pilots off to their respective afterlives, fly into the hanger and Holy Crap! its a S, like seriously? I've got several saves that took me hours of reloads, and I mean hours, to get one of these and here I'm getting it 10 min after logging in. So now I'm aggravated cause I can't afford an S Class Capital ship. But I head up to the bridge. The cost to upgrade my A class freighter to a fancy new capital ship you ask, zero, zilch, nada! They gave it to me.. I'm floored. So I drunkenly fly back to the station to get my backpack upgrade, go through my ritual, check the multitool get the backpack, check for navigation data, Ya'll know the drill, Damn there's a pretty lil s class multitool sitting in the tray, its not one of the fancy's, not a rifle, but it is an S. So I grab that. Two for two right. Head to the planet, call my mech,...

Public Service Announcement: don't panic if your ships vanish [Discussion]

Long story long, I was hoarding some valuable stuff like S-Class Upgrade modules in my shuttle because I haven't used that ship since back when I started the game (my shuttle was my first pickup after the Radiant Pillar).

I kept it around for nostalgia's sake.

Finally today I picked up the sweet ship I've been searching for and took it back to my freighter ready to load it up with those upgrades. Yeah, except now that I have more than 6 ships in stock the freighter only shows the most recently used ones and no way to rotate stock. AAAHHH!! But I was storing all those upgrades in the shuttle! Now what?

Good news folks if this happens to you. Just go out and do some stuff. When you come home it seems the freighter will just decide on its own to show you some other ships in your inventory. Lo and behold my shuttle was reachable this time and I grabbed all those upgrades in its cargo.

​

Moral of the story, careful about keeping valuables in ships in your freighter but good news, it WILL re-appear, just give it a few trips.

Ship Color Change Issues [Question]

Recently, I found a ship (solar) that I like, has a cool model and even nice colors. However, its sail shape is the rectangle, I was after the hex shape. I later found another ship with an identical model (idk how, I'm just lucky I guess) and desirable sail shape, though its colors are a bit ugly. The first ship (let's call it ship1) has red/orange sails, black primary and yellow secondary. The second ship (ship2) has light blue sails, beige primary, and yellow secondary.

​

Since I really liked ship1's colors, but didn't like the sails, I decided to try to figure out how to use a save editor to change ship2's colors to ship1's. I decided to test this on a save I plan to delete later anyway so that I wouldn't screw up and break something. So, I booted up Google and spent two days researching, coming across this post, which was the only thing I could find that provided what I am after.

​

So, I downloaded GoatFungus's save editor and followed all of the steps for recoloring ships using the JSON editor. When I saved and opened the game to see if it worked, I found that my ship on that save (Radiant Pillar) remained the same. I had made sure that I followed every step down to the letter and inputted colors that are very different from the Pillar's original palette. So, I opened a different test save and did the same thing. Still no color alteration.

​

While I was going through the guide, I noticed that it says nothing about exactly where to input the values. The step is pasted here:

​

"5. Copy the the code (at the end of this post) and paste it into the specific place-holder for the ship you want to customize."

​

So, when I opened the correct directory and access the folder that holds the ship, there are two items: "SelectedPreset" and...

Best way to share a base? [Question]

Heyo! So I was wondering, what's the most effective way to share a base in multiplayer? My girlfriend and I are on the hunt for a nice paradise planet to build our main base, and was wondering if anyone had any advice to make things more convenient? Since I know the game doesn't have any actual mechanics to share ownership of a base and whatnot.

Thank you!

Why does the first-person camera for Exocrafts suck? [Discussion]

At this point I'm wondering if maybe it's intentionally like that and maybe I'm just "not getting it" but it's genuinley terrible and has been forever. The floatiness of the cursor and how it automatically snaps the camera back to the center of your screen so you're also constantly fighting it if you want to look around is annoying as hell.

It just doesn't make a lot of sense to me.

Future dlc [Discussion]

Hear me out, We’ve gotten some vast wonderful updates, I’d like to think of a different one. The updates are usually based off of a large scale infinite generational system they have(which may or may not be easier), how about an update with smaller focus on a big scale like Artemis’s pocket solar system. It would be amazing to see not only Artemis but what hello games could do with detail on a single solar system.

A Trace of Metal stuck on "Make contact with an Atlas Beacon" [Bug]

My spouse and I missed the release of the Sentinels update so we're only just doing the 'A Trace of Metal' mission now. We're playing in multiplayer together. All was going fine (albeit buggy at times) until we got up to the "Make contact with an Atlas Beacon" part.

We both got the Hacked Brain from Tethys fine. We go out into space (same system) and start pulsing at the same time. I get the mission tip box come up in the lower right that cycles through codes (or whatever) and then an anomaly detected. So I drop out of warp and correctly have the Atlas Beacon in front of me. I'm able to communicate with the Beacon and correctly get the Radiant Brain.

My spouse on the other hand has nothing happen when he pulses. He tried coming to the Atlas Beacon that I was still beside and gets his Communicator pop up for all of a moment and then disappear. He tried pulsing away and pulsing back to try and push X (PC) when the communicator popped up again. But it didn't work.

He's tried reloading into single player. Tried deleting the Hacked Brain. Tried talking to Tethys again (who says nothing). Tried switching to another mission and then back to A Trace of Metal. But no difference - whenever he pulses, nothing shows up, no Atlas Beacon. He's also tried going to a different galaxy to be able to reset the mission but there's no reset available (other missions show up as being out of system).

Anyone know how to fix this?

The guppy exotic. [Question]

I managed to find a galaxy and was at a sun station. I was there for a little. I go to fly out and this little thing flies past me. I saw it, freaked out and turned around. As SOON as I was landing, it lifts off and FLIES AWAY. I was soooo mad. Couple days go by. Tonight I been playing all day, I decided to go back to the system and give myself a chance with the trading posts. As SOON as I enter, freighter battle. I defeated them. Scan for trading outpost. Fly to it. Only 3 ships showed up twice. I decide to fly to sun station. I fly in, everywhere were ships, far right corner WAS THE GUPPY AGAIN. EVERY SHIP LIFTED AND FLEW OFF. Seriously what do I have to do to get the elusive ship that’s taunting me😢😭. It doesn’t even have a long nose or anything AND I believe it’s white and gold!. Anyone got help? At least I know my planet has it which I’ve heard every galaxy has ONE so I’ll always see this guppy but twice the sun station has failed me. First time if I would have waited like 30 more seconds I could have gotten my first one. Am I doing something wrong or 2022 just hates me?

Sooo Solar ships... [Discussion]

While extremely cool looking with the sails retracted, they make zero sense whatsoever.

Solar sails that funtion perfectly even if you're flying at the system's star.

Solar sails... on ships that go faster than light in pulse drive.

And the sails themselves are absolutely hideous rectangles, but yet the ship design when the sails are retracted look friggin' phenomenal.

Why?... why? why?

Such cool ship designs wasted on an utterly illogical tech.

What drugs were the team on when they dreamt up this clash of awesome ship design and utterly foolish sails?

The sails at least would make some small degree of sense while travelling slower than pulse drive, but when pulse is activated, then the sails should fold up. Physically they'd be creating resistance against speed...

I'm going to carve "why" into my leg out of my seething bewilderment at the team taking somthing gorgeous (the core ship designs) and turning them into ridiculous anti-science tech.

WHY? (there isn't an emoji of someone ripping out their own eyes, so just imagine that's what I've put here.)

Refining on Survival is time-consuming and exhausting. [Suggestion]

My main save to play is in Survival mode, so basic inventory slot restricted to 250 resource units. This applies to refiners slots too and this is where trouble pops out. I have extensive farm with everything needed to produce Stasis devices and Fusion Ignitors in small numbers, so I decided to expand it. This also increased a required amount of such resources as Ionized Cobalt and Condensed Carbon. I don't produce them from Cobalt and Carbon, I use replication schemes with Oxygen, but still requires a lot of time to run from one refiner to another and manage input and output every 50 seconds or so. And it is all because slots are limited to 250 units.

I think it would be much more handy and comfortable to remove this limit for refiners only in Survival because it's only slowing you down and not bringing any survival effort into gameplay. You just throw as much resources as you wish into refiner and go on with other tasks while they are refined in the background.

What do you think about this?

I bought the game the day Atlas Rises was released, and it has been a consistent delight to me, a refuge, a place to experience wonder, as well as frustration, confusion and even rage. It has kept me busy during an excess of boring times, even as it has at times interfered with the responsibilities of normal life, whatever that is these days.

It has also given me access to a fabulous, caring and sharing community that has been immensely helpful, hugely entertaining, and unexpectedly appreciative of my own contributions. Our little corner of Reddit is special.

I’ve learned a lot, too. And that’s a big deal for me. I’m 78, and I’ve been gaming since “Adventure” was loaded into an obscure corner of the old Wang word processor (1980). Something new and wonderful is a very rare occurrence.

In the first 450 or so hours of the game, I did all the quests, spent many hours grinding and leveling up, and got to the point where the inevitable “What’s next?” question pops up.

Is anything lost by using an expedition character as a main save? [Question]

I know the answer is probably "No", but just wanted to ask anyways.

I played NMS on PS4 at the beginning of the pandemic and sunk 100+ hours into it with my roommates at the time. Eventually it winded down and we stopped playing, and a few sales ago I decided to just buy the game again on Steam (no idea why I didnt do that in the first place), but I found that I really didn't feel like having to redo everything I had already done on my other save.

Anyways I redownloaded NMS the other day and decided to hop in and do the Expedition - and im finding myself having an absolute blast. I know that expedition saves get converted to normal saves afterwards, but I just wanted to make sure that if I just decided to make this my main save, I wouldnt be losing anything I'd have gotten in a normal save.

What motivates you to build huge bases? [Discussion]

I’m new to playing, 70 hours, and I took a two year break before updating and logging in last week.

What is motivating people to build a lot of bases or huge bases? I figured it was probably just for fun, or maybe building bigger bases to have your friends live with you. I’m not sure how that part works yet, I’ve never played “multiplayer”.

I was wondering if I was missing something. I’ve got tiny bases consisting of a teleporter , trade terminal, and exocraft pad on some planets I liked that were more dangerous so I needed a base of operations.

It just starts to seem redundant. Do you benefit from having more than one base, or more than one group of the NPC employees?

I built my base before settlements were released and then loaded up to find my base is surrounded with volcanoes, always makes a buzzing sound, and there is a settlement I’m Overseeing two planets away in the same system. So I’m going to scrap it and move closer to the settlement.

Then on top of that the freighter is pretty much a base as far as storage, and I spend a lot of time on it sending out missions.

I just wondered if I was missing out on something by not building more bases as I explore.

Rant/hot take on the wasted potential of target sweep function (and terrain and vehicles) [Discussion]

"Gee, where could it possibly be?"

As much as I like the recent-ish new target sweep function, I really wish it had a bigger role in finding points of interest. I was so excited when the first Expedition update dropped and introduced it because I assumed it could finally encourage and push players to actively explore the surface, but it just feels like wasted potential right now in it's current state and I think it's because of the current terrain of all planets not restricting your ship's landing. (Except water worlds I guess.)

I like the idea of landing on a planet and having to go across the landscape to find something we're after with lots of interesting visuals along the way. You know, actually explore the planet a bit. But right now, the game barely has any incentivized exploration at all and instead encourages you to just visit a tiny part of the planet before taking off and visit another part of the planet.

The target sweep in it's current form makes you travel a bit if you can't see your destination from orbit, but there's no insane wacky terrain obstacles preventing your ship from landing where you need to get to so why would players ever land further away and explore the surrounding area to their goal when they can just land right where they need to be and just.. visit?

We have the jetpack, we have pets, we have vehicles, but none of them have any relevance to it because once again, the terrain itself discourages you from doing so and encourages you just landing directly where you want to be.

If you yourself see an interesting place in the distance, you're more inclined to get into your ship and fly over there instead of walk to it, cause nothing is stopping you and it would otherwise feel like "time wasting" to you cause in the back of your mind you'd know...

A cool spaceship would be awesome too". That's what I hoped for when I preordered nms in 2016 with the money I saved for a whole year back then. I was very sad when it didn't meet my expectations, but I was hopeful for what was to come. Now the game is everything I hoped and wished for, so thank you for that. I'm also studying astronomy and physics in university at the moment, as I'm never going to give up on learning about space. I love this space shit so much.

Suggestion: Buildable ‘Automated Defence Turrets’ in Settlements and/or Bases. [Suggestion]

This likely isn’t by any means an original idea at this point. Nonetheless, with the recent addition of Pirate attacks on settlements/bases, I think it would be nifty! Adding a layer of automated protection to help defend against/dissuade further attacks. Limits could certainly be imposed on the number or placement as well of course. Additional penalties could be incurred against a settlement (until rectified by the Overseer) in the event of an unsuccessful defence. I’m pretty much just rambling now.. Anyways! Food for thought; certainly open to fleshing out this idea a bit more, for better or for worse.

Cheers!

Storm crystals in the expedition [Question]

So my dumbass thought they give you the stone Crystal to sell so you can buy the microprocessors you needed to fly your ship. I now realize you needed to fly to a red star in your freighter. Does anyone know of any planets in yellow star systems around where the expedition starts where a storm Crystal spawn?

Otherwise I'll probably just restart the expedition

The thing I like best about outlaws update [Discussion]

It adds a little more flavor towards making the universe feel more alive and active. Now there’s a clear distinction between regulated and unregulated space and you can mess about role playing in either one. Updates like these make me realize each one is a very purposeful block being added to a slowly evolving game that will be something different years from now. I’m really just in awe at the cathedral like building of this game.

Bought a Freighter before doing the distress call, can I still get a free freighter? [Question]

So my favorite thing in the game is Econ, a holdover from my Elite: Dangerous times. I found a really nice S-Class Freighter before really progressing through the story, but it's not a Capital Ship (17 slots). I have (I think) correctly completed the distress calls of other Freighters, but only get nanites now. When I talk to the captain though, it's always "He seems weary and might sell you the ship?" message.

Is there still a way for me to get a free Freighter, or will I just have to earn the dough to grab a better one?

Multitools mission target sweep bugged? [Question]

So it's been 2 missions now that it is happening and I'm losing my mind over it. Can't find any info about it online and I just can't believe I'm the only one that it is happening.

Basically, I've got 2 missions (the drone settlement one) and the pirate thing. Gives me a beacon to go, I go there and when I approach the planet it disappears. Per instinct, I don't stop pulse warp and go to the planet in question, scan with the ship and it shows the beacon to me. Okay, I go to the beacon but as soon as I get over there I get spammed with a sound that says that I'm at my destination, to get out of the ship to start scanning, which I do but then tells me no target available. I go back to my ship and as soon as I lift off, get spammed again. Happened to 2 missions which I'm stuck on both because of that and I don't understand.

Does anyone know how to fix this? I tried going far away and restarting the mission as well as reloading my save and both didn't work.

I had a dream today about a cool feature for the game. [Discussion]

So I woke up this morning and I had a dream where I was exploring a planet with ancient ruins and was trying to solve this puzzle to unlock a treasure in these ruins while avoiding traps.

Now as I did that I got attacked by pirate's but instead of them flying over me and shooting down they landed there ships near me and came out with exocrafts from the ships (the design was like a space bike kind of design) and essentially were riding them and shooting at me while on them.

Do you guys think it would be a cool feature in the game if there were pirates who would come after you on land with exocrafts?

I can't understand how storage works in this game [Question]

Hi, I am a new player and I can't seem to wrap my head around how storage works. Please help me :)

​

1)When I move some common mineral like copper from exosuit to starship or vice versa, it says something like 23xxx available. I'm guessing this means I can theoretically have that much copper in there, right? Or is some other unit of measurement?

​

  1. Why do different things show different available storage messages? Like if I move gold nuggets it'll tell 50 available. Do rarer things take more space? If so, is there a list of all items and how much space they take?

​

  1. Is there a max stack size for a particular item in a storage slot?

​

Thanks in advance!

What surprised me is that it actually does better damage than my old trusty Rifle, and its scanner range is nearly as good as my Experimental. I'm also only running one weapon type on it (not including the paralysis cannon), which allowed me to utilize other slots for extras like Cloak.

New player experience…is this normal? [Discussion]

I installed NMS last night and jumped into Survival mode. I got the hang of it pretty quickly, realized caves were important to staying warm, and made it to the ship.

I received the distress signal and noted I had to travel a moderate distance, so I stocked up on sodium and oxygen to stay warm and healthy. About halfway there, I was caught in a blizzard and a ship with green thrusters bombed me from low orbit. Needless to say, I died and was rather crestfallen.

Is this the standard new player experience or did I experience some bad random procedurally generated luck?

So damn annoying. [Discussion]

I played for around 130hours now and I love how the game turned out for the better but I got a few complaints or things that annoy me allot. I like the game but man. I'm sick of trees regrow right inside base buildings like man make so an area around the base computer makes everything in that area not be able to spawn I mean other games manage to make so where shit can´t respawn where building blocks are. Or do like Minecraft and force people to regrow trees. If I own more than 1 ship and I park them on the landing pads I made why are they not still there when I get back and I have call them again. Just make them stay on the landing pads so I can easily switch from a fighter to a hauler or explorer with out the need to call them. So damn annoying that when ever I want to bring up my inventory it defaults to the last thing I sat in and not my exo suit inventory. Make the vehicle s a bit faster with out having to use the boost every damn 5second like man traversing the planet is faster on foot and 10 times on spaceship making vehicles in my opinion rather useless. Or make so you can by engine upgrades that increase them speed a bit. And Mecha robot was uber slow make it able to run instead of jet pack around.

Honestly next big patch/addon should be quality of life improvements.

GUILDS FOR SHIP TYPES [Suggestion]

After playing the game for over 1.5k hours here is a few things I think would be a very welcome and some ideas.

If I did not think this game was worth sharing my thoughts, I would not bother with it. (there is some game I do like, but never felt like taking the time to share my thoughts).

​

GUILDS FOR SHIP TYPES- (I'll use the Hauler in this example)

1- You can only use a Hauler (DUH) for the Hauler Guild.

2- Items to haul will only be in the cargo section.

3- Not all mission will need you to have max cargo space, but it will help depending on the mission. The mission will tell you how many slots you need open in your cargo.

4- When you accept the mission and want to look at the cargo in your hauler, the cargo section will be greyed out so you can't see it. You are hauling something/someone for the guild. Don't get nosy.

​

THE MISSIONS-

Normal - take cargo from point A to point B and return for reward (maybe pirate encounters).

Hard - take cargo from point A to point B but real far (2-4 jumps maybe) and deal with pirates that have 2x to 4x more damage than regular pirates maybe. You might have to fly to get the cargo drop, stop in another system, locate the contact on a planet and deliver cargo and fly it back to the SS for reward.

PITA RATED (Pain In The Arse) - This is where the more hard core players might enjoy the challenge.

You accept the mission, take off. Seems simple, take cargo point A to point B, it seems quite, maybe to quiet. During one of your many jumps you are pulled out warp, your screen starts flashing a planet in the distance with the warp effect and you are tumbling towards the planet and your screen is flickering while fading to white.

The screen goes white, then it looks like you are starting a new game. You can select E to continue or Q to quit (which you will appear in the SS where you accepted the mission)....

"Under a rebel star" Potential fix for newest patch [Information]

Making a post for this since its been affecting quite a few people since the new hotfix.

I've been suffering with this mission being stuck on the step for reaching the marked co-ords and needing to kill an unknown amount of sentinels for about 3 days.

The fix i found for me was finding an observatory in the system that i found the solar ship in (which was also where it told me to go) and going to the distress signal for a destroyed ship that it gave me.

When i landed at the ship it had spawned corrupted sentinels which when killed, activated the next step of the quest.

Ill post the details of what happened after in case anyone had any further bugs like I did.

how far can you go in system? [Question]

So with the fact that pulse drive fuel is consumed slower in solar ships than any other ship I decided to see if there was a limit on how far you can go in a solar system so I pointed in a single direction and engaged my pulse drive and just kept going I'm now 36,000ks from the nearest planet and climbing.

I'm actually so far that npc ships like the trader encounters or pirates are shaky and I can't even see the planet anymore and if I look back at the space station and pulse drive towards it states that it'll take 26 minutes to arrive. I figured I would hit the limit a while ago but I haven't yet so is there even one? I'm going to keep going for a while longer just to see what happens.

I have a theory, but it may just coincidence [Question]

So I found a random first wave exotic spawn on co-ord exchange to farm for storage modules, when I noticed a nice white and black solar ship also spawning, but it was always a C class.

After the third reload or so I decided to purchase the solar ship because it looked kinda cool.

On the next reload the solar ship was a B class, so I exchanged.

Next reload solar ship was an A class, so I exchanged.

You guessed it, next reload it was an S Class.

Anyone else noticed this behavior or want to try it out to see if it's a thing now?

Should I simply buy every frigate I see? [Question]

So I've only just now realized frigates can rank up. Up till now, I'd only keep an eye out for frigates of B rank or higher, assuming C's were worthless. But now that I realize they can rank up, should I just buy every single one I see since they can all become S rank eventually? Kinda angry at myself for not realizing sooner, I could have owned many more and had been sending a bunch out on expeditions if I didn't think half the ones Ive seen are worthless. So I guess the only thing I should look out for are negative "perks" that some seem to have? I'm still quite "early" in my travels I think, so I'm not trying to min/max or anurhing just yet.

Some Cool ideas I thought of [Suggestion]

Idk if this is considered spoilers but I will mark it as so. And I read the posting rules about 3 times each rule.

This is a long one in fact the longest post I’ve made on Reddit at the time of posting it so grab a snack if you wanna read the whole thing.

I don’t know if this really is cool or not but to me it seems like it. So I thought of an idea after seeing an aliens monolith and getting story about some sort of Frankenstein-ish monster. After seeing that I went to another and it had spawned close to an abandoned building around 300u away. So I thought what if the same event for the monolith happened here and because of the monster people abandoned the building.

And so the idea I got from this was that what if there was a chance of multiple buildings spawning close by to each other and those had different stories. And something else I thought of while writing this was abandoned settlements being a thing.

So here’s an example: If an abandoned settlement spawned close to a sentinel Pillar then there could be story saying that the sentinels had drove them away. And then that could also introduce new items or other new mechanics really. One said new mechanic could be that you could rebuild the settlement and find people who wanted to join it. Of course these would end up with more sentinel attention but maybe there could be some more or better rewards for it.

So yea and I really hope this isn’t considered low effort cause I think if maybe this was added it could bring some cool new stuff to the game.

Ps: if this gets more than 30 likes which would be my personal best I’m gonna post another idea I have for a new type of planet. And when or if it does and someone doesn’t notice I’ve posted it please text me or something I have terrible memory.

If you read this whole thing I just wanna say wow your really dedicated to this game. And I sat here...

We NEED the ability to delete bases that have become invisible. Not use glitches. Not start a new game. From the portal in the station instead of being forced to manually delete from the computer. It is sickening enough to lose the resources at least let us erase the waypoint on the hud. There is no reason why the game benefits from not having this feature.

The Notorious Pirate Planet (Unlockable Poster Speculation) [Discussion]

So there is a poster you unlock during Expedition 6, it's called "Resbur XIII" and the description says it's "...a notorious pirate-occupied planet." Probably just nerding out here but I'm infinitely curious as to whether this planet actually exists. I haven't discovered anything online, but this would be a cool discovery nonetheless.

Expedition rerelease [Discussion]

So I play NMS quite a bit, but I’m in the military. So I miss quite a bit as well. Not to talk too much but I got called out for the Ukraine crisis and wasn’t able to play needless to say I missed the exobiology expedition. I really hope they bring it back because I just found out and I’m hating my luck so much. Yes it doesn’t compare to everything going on in the world but things like nms certainly help bring light to my life and it’s saddening not being able to be apart of these limited events. Does anyone know if it will be coming back or has heard anything.

Dying bug.. [Bug]

Okay so I’m having a problem where if I die my game crashes and I have to restart. Which means no corpse to go back to. Losing everything I was carrying.

The first time it happened I didn’t care all that much and just wrote it off. This time however I was carrying millions worth of ancient bones and other minerals worth an hour or so of my time.

Help - just bought the game today; it works on my older laptop, not on my current. [Question]

OK, so I got the game this morning.

I tested it on a slightly older laptop and it runs just fine on there (I've got like 2 hours of playtime) but it's a little laggy, so I wanted to play it on my current laptop (not too much of an upgrade but still, better).

​

But it won't fucking launch on my current laptop.

I've uninstalled, reinstalled, uninstalled and fully deleted the files, reinstalled, I verified the integrity of the files, restarted, and double-checked the specs and my current laptop is equal if not better than the old one in all aspects-- so there theoretically shouldn't be any issues, I ran as admin, I troubleshot, rinse repeat uninstalled/reinstalled/restarted, everything is the newest update (only thing would be windows bc fuck windows 11, but the old computer is ALSO on windows 10 so wtf???), I disconnected my 2nd monitor, tried it, did the whole rinse and repeat and tried it, made sure I had Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable, made sure I had directX, double-check both laptops specs against each other again--

​

I don't understand why I can't play it on my current laptop, but it works perfectly fine on my older one (I test played it an hour in the morning, came back from work and spent 4 hours trying to make this work before giving up and playing the 2nd hour on the older laptop)

​

so ik the game is fucking fine I just wanna fucking play it on the computer I actually use

what if size of the nms universe is created as a single solar system or small region of a galaxy [Discussion]

As the title says though it is still great tech achievement to have quintillions of planets i some how feel it feels redundant. even the devs themselves made it clear even as a whole nms player base we are not going to discover all the parts of it's universe. here is my question comes that instead of making a vast universe they could have reduced the scope of the size to a small part of single galaxy and made travel to any planet / star system in a single stretch without galaxy view warp jumps.

With this they could have made the better planet biome variety as the overall region is small, even they could have made multi biome planets. also they could have added more lore items and quests coherently with this reduced universe.

i Just got this thought about the latest news updates from starfield as they might me doing similar thing by having small part of a galaxy as their open world, while allowing space travel across all parts of the region.

"Under a Rebel Star" item description confusion [Question]

As part of the quest I was given a Forged Passport and told to use it. In the quest the description I was given for the Forged Passport says it will reset faction standing to Neutral. That's great if you have a negative standing, but I don't..in fact my standing with each race is as high as it can possibly be. But the quest demands I use the item. And whenen I check the item in my inventory now it only says it will reset any negative standing.

So which is it? I'm scared. Will it reset all my hard work at getting maximum standing with a species? Or since I have no negative standing will it not do anything at all?

Right now I am continuing the Artemis storyline and have gone to a planet with a signal transmitter. I don't even have a base other than the bare minimum the tutorial asked for and am very poor somehow getting enough units to get the things the quest asks for and nothing else.

I feel like I still don't know anything anything about this game. Does the game teach more things if I continue the story? Or the tutorial quest was it? I have so many questions about different aspects of the game which were never explained. Like, what is farming? What are these frigates and freighters everyone talks about? How do I actually make money sustainably? What are the different classes of planets? Do I have to follow the quest or can I do my own thing now? And so much more!

I mean, I just got into a fight with a sentinel ship with no information about who they are are and what should I do.

I don't know if I'm just getting ahead of myself here and if all the things will be explained in due time if i follow the quests or if I have to study the wiki to learn everything. Please help this poor soul!

Been away from the game a few years and I've just come back with a friend and got hooked again! Although a lot has changed the one thing I wasnt expecting is a freigher issue.

I know the event spawns every 3 hours and so many warps etc... However my event starts when I warp in but I never get the intercom call from the captain! I defeat the pirates and reload and reload and reload but I never get the intercom at all - therefore no reward or free freighter. Ive played quite a few hours on this save and each time a new event spawns the same issue happens. Just never get the intercom.....

When you warp with the freighter, you should get a view from the inside like in Star Wars. [Suggestion]

I have noticed people have capes, different colors etc…from what I under stand they are timed events. Is this true?? I’m a pretty basic man, I’d love to be all blacked out, black hood/cape and all. If anyone is nice enough to explain how the customization works, is it only timed events? Do I have to grind missions to be able to afford certain skins/colors??

Thoughts of a noob (about 20h in) [Discussion]

Like the title says, I have about 20h in game, so a very new player for sure. First I want to go over my feelings for the game. And then I want to talk about what I want to see improved upon, because I think this game has a LOT of potential and I feel like that sentence is as true now as it was when it first released. There is always talk of potential that is unrealised from update to update in my opinion.

So yeah, initially I didn't think this game was for me. It was sold to me as Minecraft in space, which I disliked the idea of. But, having played the game, I can see that it is so much more than that and it in no way fits into that mould. Long story short, I fell in love with the game ever since I stepped a foot in my first spacecraft. I fell in love with the atmosphere, the urge to explore and progress. The first time I entered a cave was so intriguing, a little bit scary, but so awesome, and naturally, I wanted to explore more of the planet etc. First time I entered a space station, oh man, the music, the liveliness (ships coming in and out, npcs), all the stores.. And then the anomaly. What an experience..

All in all, the atmosphere it presents is super unique and super immersive in my opinion and the game nails that 100/100

But then some time in, when I progressed the main quest and went out on my own, exploring different systems, I realised just how repetitive it all is. And to be honest, that is my biggest gripe with the game. How repetitive it is. Not in the sense of "oh I always need to be collecting materials", not at all, I don't get bored of that at all, what I mean is how everything is always the same. The space stations are ALL the same. The abandoned buildings are ALL the same.. I'm always going to the same places, just on different planets. No variety at all.

Speaking of planets, that is true variety and it is awesome. No real complaints about...

I started the build for the overseers office and when it was completed I couldn't enter it because it's half buried in the ground and I can't get in the door. How do I abandon it?

This game became so much more enjoyable once I stopped trying to achieve efficiency above all else [Discussion]

A bit of a vague title, but the truth nonetheless. I got in to No Man's Sky somewhat late; a couple of expansions dropped, the tide already turned. No Man's Sky was seen as a decent game, lots was achieved after launch.

Anyway, I had a lot of fun! The first couple of hours were mesmerizing, and I was excited to see what was to come. Fast forward about 50-60 hours, and I was already kind of done with the game. I was earning millions of units with an Activated Indium farm, something that was recommended to me by the many YouTube 'guide' videos surrounding this game. I had reloaded a Freighter battle almost 50 times and achieved a Capital S-Class Freighter. I had a massive farm that I used for nanites. I was maxing out my inventory and I finished building somewhat of a base.

Now what? That was the question I had, and it never really went away. Somehow I felt as if I didn't really 'complete' the game, but I also no longer had a goal to work towards. I was earning an absurd amount of units, with nothing to really spend it on. I no longer had any motivation to engage in the vast majority of the systems the game had laid out, because why would I? The rewards gained from exploration were not worth it, I wouldn't gain anything from it.

I briefly played on both a hardcore and a permadeath save, but after getting the associated achievements, I realized that the changes these game modes provided were not the changes I was looking for. If anything, they seemed detrimental somehow, on top of not having a goal once I set up a few farms somewhere, I now also had to fight a limited inventory system for naught but a level of tedium. If this was No Man's Sky but difficult, I realized that I did not desire 'difficulty' in this game.

I stopped having fun, so I stopped playing.

Is it too late to get a good frigate for free? [Question]

Somehow I missed the first part of the quest where you get a frigate for free. I believe I was running from some Sentinels when the quest line started and I ran to the Space Station. Anyhow, I was running out of space and when a bunch of ships ported in front of me I was offered to buy one. Did not realize you got your first one for free and the one I bought is absolute crap with only a few cargo and tech slots.

It's official - I've got over a thousand hours [Information]

Just got a PS5 and transferred NMS over - and WOW! the game looks so much better. Then I discovered that under my profile it now tells me how many hours I've got in my games: NMS PS5 - 1 hr, NMS PS4 - 1002 hrs. (Which doesn't count my Steam game which is a lot younger). So I'm in the 1K club officially!

I'm trying to figure out if I an get my preorder bonuses onto the PS5 version, though. They didn't originally transfer - the redeemability, that is, a save with bonuses already redeemed retained them. So I deleted my PS4 game and reinstalled from my original disk (I bought the digital version 2 years in, because I was tired of constantly swapping my husband's game out for mine). Now I can again redeem the Alpha Vector, Photonix Core et al on the PS4 version. Does anyone know, if I delete the PS5 version and reinstall from the disc-based PS4 version, will that transfer the bonuses?

I am super into space games I find them to be extremely beautiful I also i like creativity and a challenge but I don’t like tedious mining and the constant need of recourses like if I run out of an object a planet doesn’t have like fuel I may never be able to launch my ship again and be stuck forever so should I get it?

After the new update I'm coming back, need advices on how to get back on track [Question]

Hi, As you may have guessed by the title the new solar ships got me interested enough to come back to the game. I left just before the settlement update and was wondering what did I miss so far or if someone could redirect me to the right place to find some guidance as for now I'm a bit overwhelmed.

  1. where can I get one of those fancy new ships? 2) what changed with the new sentinels? 3) what is the purpose of having a squadron?

Also I was wondering how did the online part of the game works as I had used the anomaly only a few times so far.

Thanks in advance and I'm sorry if this post isn't fitting with the subreddit rules.

Regards, DemiTanuki, iteration 1

The Wanderer's Path [Fan Work - Tale]

CHAPTER ONE - The legend

I have read about the legend of a Traveler who, long ago, was tired of experiencing the universe in small portions, who wanted to make a big change in his life. A Traveler who chose an ordinary place to start his new path, on a random planet of a distant star. A Traveler who trusted the Atlas and its potential to keep surprising him, even if he was on the verge of extinction. The Traveler... well, perhaps it would be more accurate to say: the Pilgrim set out to travel the entire circumference of that random planet. On his journey the Pilgrim experienced all kinds of extreme situations that led his body and, above all, his mind to reach a higher state, a broader and richer awareness of the universe. He was excited, he felt curiosity, joy, expectation, strength, surprise... But he was also overcome at times, he felt the temptation to give up, sadness, fear, despair... However, he never threw in the towel. It was a hard road. A long road. An infinite pilgrimage.

The Pilgrim gradually captured his experiences in twelve fragments of what today is known as "The Pilgrim's Path", practically the only thing that remains of that legendary feat. Twelve parts of a journey that seemed impossible. Twelve universal relics.

The Pilgrim's name? I don't remember it. But I can tell you the name he chose for that distant star: "The Pilgrim Star”, of course. The planet? Dudenbeaumodeme.

I've been thinking about these writings for some time. Now that the Atlas is asking for my help, now that I must make the hardest decision of all and without really knowing how much time I have left until it's all over... All I can think about is those damned notes. Is there any hope left for this galaxy? Is there anything that can be done to save it?

I've fired up the warp drive of my most powerful ship, a poor B class explorer, korvax manufacture. The system I am jumping to is...

The nanite grind. [Suggestion]

I have come to the conclusion that we desperately need different gradations of missions and more variation.

Doing the same mission over-and-over again for 300ish nanites per mission is a mindnumbing grind, especially if you consider the prices of for example freighter colours... 5K nanites to unlock a collour... 50k to upgrade multitool from A to S...

Now, i dont mind grinding.. but give me variation.. give me harder/longer missions that grant more nanites, or at least enough variation in missions to keep it interesting..

I hope Hello Games take a break from adding new content and start fleshing out existing content, the potential is there!

The Wanderer's Path 2 [Fan Work - Tale]

CHAPTER TWO - The first steps

Those gek let me spend the night at their station. There wasn't much room, but truth be told, it's been a long time since I've had such a good night's rest. I think the excitement I feel about the road ahead has made me leave behind all my worries about Atlas, the galaxy, and the very fabric of reality. The truth is that I have never felt so real as I did this morning, with the yellow star rising on the horizon. I have decided to christen it The Wandering Star. I think you'll understand the reference there.

Sunrise at Compostellar

I eat a mixture of herbs and a sweet-tasting yellow liquid for breakfast next to the gek. I think about my recent discoveries about these races. The dark shadow that shrouds all the past. The misfortune of the korvax. The vy'keen crusades. The First Spawn. It all feels so real for a few seconds... And then suddenly it fades away, it stops making sense. Everything stops making sense, except for the natural pillars that stand before me, monoliths of the past, my guiding stones.

I take my first steps towards them firmly.

It doesn't take me long to realize some important things. For example, my exosuit's navigation system is very useful to stay on course and avoid starting to go around in giant circles. I have decided to keep the marker of my ship, the Ronin III, at my back and head directly south. If I keep walking straight south at some point my ship's marker will disappear from my back and emerge over the horizon. Another thing I have realized is that there is no terrestrial wildlife on this planet, only flying animals. That's partly boring and partly rewarding, since I won't have to deal with predators trying to eat me at every turn.

The planet, which I have named Compostellar,...

Hi, I'm new to the game and I have a need of your opinions! [Question]

Hi, I just downloaded and started playing this game on Game Pass yesterday, and I have successfully repaired my first ship and it wants me to leave the planet to "find answers in the stars above". But I haven't yet discovered all the species of animals on this planet! I see I've found 5 of 7, and the remaining two are of the underground/uncommon variety.

I'm having a hard time even finding a cave, and so far there's been no animals in it.

Should I just go ahead and proceed with the story, or stay and find all the animals? I'm a bit of a completionist when it comes to stuff like this, so I don't want to leave the planet in a half-assed state.

What do you guys think I should do? If I leave the system, how will I ever find my way back to try and find the animals later?

How efficient is refining mold for nanites compared to scanning fauna on survival mode? I feel like not very. [Question]

I’ve got over 200 hours on a survival save at this point and still don’t understand runaway mold farming. Once you collect all of it and put it in the refiner it takes a lot of time waiting and then the stacks are so small I feel like it isn’t worth it?

Like I can make way more by just scanning all the fauna on a planet and then it’s actually a fun adventure with some accomplishment involved.

I just keep seeing people recommend it and I have to wonder if it’s because I’m on survival and the smaller inventory slots just make it tedious?

I'd love to be able to give our little Sentry friend some practical use. [Discussion]

First off, pretaining to this as well, I'd much prefer if the Multitool menu had a drop-down option for all your multitools so the menu for customizing the uses of The Sentry could also go there.

As it is, The Sentry is pretty cool, I like having my little blue sentinel following me around as an ever-growing list of companions to adventure with me, that being said I think we are missing out on the practical applications for the sentry.

I'd love to be able to slap a scanner on it so it could ocassionally scan something that I maybe hadn't seen. It kind of already does that but it doesn't affect us at all. I've also always wished we could have a detatched camera for the Terrain Manipulator like the building camera for base building and I think the sentry would be perfect for that. Pressing B with the Terrain Manipulator equipped while the sentry has the upgrade installed switches to the sentry's view for free-camera terrain manipulation. Could come in real handy for much more accurate use of the tool, in my opinion.

Having that deployable shield that sentinels do could be useful as well and maybe adding in the Combat Visor. The sentry could place an overlay on enemies in combat with us to make them easier to see in some cases.

I just think there's some potential here for The Sentry to have some basic use is all. I don't think it should having TONS of uses, maybe it could have 3 tech spots so we'd have to be choosy about which upgrade to give it.

Honestly I love collecting companions, but I tend to hop from planet to planet pretty quickly and don't take time to summon one since my stay is so short. It would be awesome if we could toggle a main companion to automatically come out when we leave our ship.

Or, an even better feature would be to let us deploy our companions at our bases to let them roam around.

Need tips for finding the Sentinel Pillar [Question]

I've attempted this battle three times...the first time a mech-dog fell into the terrain and that was that. Seeing as how hard it was, I got a class B multi tool and installed the upgrade blueprints for photon, scatter blaster, and the new cannons, and as many S class upgrades as i could cram into there.

I got really dang good at using the paralysis mortal in combination with the scatter blaster, picking off the repair and shield bots first, and using the cloaking device to recharge my shields if things got too crazy. But those big walkers are insane. I struggle to kill even the smaller mechs on foot, but the big ones seem unkillable! What gets through that armor? I'm afraid to get in my ship and use that like I used to do, because I've found the sentinels often deactivate that way and I'll lose all the progress.

If you wonder why I started over on a fresh save well when you play for a bit and then leave the game for a few months I kind of want to start fresh to remember how I played and what choices I made.

Anyway Im disappointed in 2 things when it comes to the end of the quest line.

  1. I wish there was an option to save Atlas would have made for a neat optional ending Kind of bugs me a bit that I can still access my old planets and bases. I mean when I think of a full reset I think I bit about new game plus that you start over but you still got your gear and such. Instead your just moved to a parallel galaxy and still can go back to your old one.

How do YOU play the game?

Examples: 1. Exploration - Random directions (ex. oh.. that is a pretty planet, wonder what is down there) 2. Exploration - reach center of all galaxies 3. Hunting - find the weirdest animal/planet/ships 4. Hunting - collect ___ in all styles/colors 5. Building - build the best/strangest base/freighter 6. Wealth - have the most ______ (insert resource here) 7. Upgrading - have the fastest/most powerful ship/multi-tool 8. Data collection - track out planet/animal/ship variations (ex. someone recently did great research on frequency of variations of a certain ship type) 9. Other? ex. I am a chronic game re-starter. I come back every few months, start a new game, play for a few days then leave. Rinse and repeat.

  1. Achievements: Try to do them all... then make up your own?

One random thing I like to do is to put down on every planet and scan available life forms, and maybe gather a bit of some easy resource. See if the place is pretty or odd in some way. (Sort of like pissing on each one to mark it as mine.)

Help with getting a Pristine Walker Brain? [Question]

Hey guys,

I am having a lot of trouble getting a Pristine Walker Brain to upgrade the Minotaur. When I went to the quest marker to find the Walker, I had to jump back into my ship because I was near death. This of course summoned sentinel ships, and I couldn’t land my ship and lost the Walker body. I was unable to find it. Now it seems the only way to get another Walker is by raising my wanted level enough, but I cannot survive long enough to do so as I die every time. It’s starting to get a bit frustrating.

Does anyone have any tips on how to go about it? Is there a way I can get a quest marker for another Walker? Thanks in advance for any help :)

Successful freighter battles not triggering reward. [Question]

Hey folks, I'm wanting to get a new freighter. But for some reason whenever I defeat the pirates, and complete the freighter battle nothing happens.

I've read that if you accidentally shoot the freighter you won't get an invite to land, so I've been very careful not to do that.

Unless someone in my squadron is shooting the freighter, I don't know why it's not triggering. (So if it is someone in my squadron I think that's a problematic game mechanism)

Any thoughts on what else may be keeping this from triggering?

Space combat idea ? [Suggestion]

I think it would be a good addition if we could rearrange our weapons for our starships instead of having to always go past the photon cannon every time . And maybe adding the ability to favorite a launch fuel method or recharge shields and warp drive .

Also i think it would be really interesting to see more be done with the system authority level 5 and Sentinel Freighters , and actually make it able to be beaten in space if temporary instead of jamming up space travel and forcibly making you respawn your freighter or the anomaly . Also maybe a bug , but I could’ve sworn the Sentinel freighters used to have cargo pods?

Black market economy class distribution: data [Information]

Finally accumulated enough data to feel kind of confident in what the black market economy's class distribution looks like.

tl:dr; It looks a whole lot like 85% C, 5% B, 5% A, and 5% S.

Methodology: Go to a black market system, find a trade post, park on the ground near it, drop a save point in the lobby, save, do a manual reload, note the classes of the first five ships that land, and reload. Do this 20 times to get a hundred data points, and do that in five different outlaw systems to obtain five hundred data points.

The results: system C B A S 1 86 6 3 5 2 83 6 7 4 3 82 4 6 8 4 85 9 4 2 5 80 7 8 5 total 416 32 28 24 percent 83.2 6.4 5.6 4.8

I don't know how to do probability/statistical modeling and calculations, but I would wager the class breakdown in outlaw systems is 85% C, 5% B, 5% A, and 5% S. With more data the outcomes would be more precise, but gathering this much took long enough as it is.

This means if you're looking for an S-class starship (and freighter or MT as well), you're two and a half times more likely to find one in an outlaw system. The drawback: your new ship, freighter, or MT is going to have fewer slots. T1 shuttles are S:18 instead of 23, T2 shuttles are S:20 instead of 28, T1 fighters are 15 instead of 19, T1 haulers are 26 instead of 31, T1 explorers are 15 instead of 19, and solars are 15 instead of 19. (These are the only S-class ships I saw during this process; the reduction likely applies to every tier for every ship.) Exotics are unchanged and unaffected, though--they still spawn 15-20 like normal.

Oddly, this size reduction doesn't apply to crashed ships in outlaw systems--shuttles are still 23 and 28 and solars are 19--but that might be just an oversight or a bug. Or it could be intentional. Who knows.

Hope that info's useful in some way.

Multi-tool units Scanning Bonus for Class/Type (answer: no difference) [Information]

So I was wondering whether to put a Scanner Module upgrade on the starter level Class C pistol or wait a bit and put it on a better multi-tool in order to get more units ($) for scanning creatures.

I didn't find a definitive answer so ran some tests. The results -- class & type of multi-tool has no effects on $ from scanning, the only effect is from the scanner module upgrades themselves.

I tested Class A Rifle, Class C Rifle, Class A Pistol. They all gave the same scanning $ with no upgrades, and then also the same (much higher) scanning $ with 3 Class A Scanning Modules installed.

Conclusion -- to earn $ in the early game, you can safely put your Class S Scanning Modules on the crappiest multi-tool.

I am also curious about real effects of Class/Type bonuses on mining -- doesn't feel like there's much of a difference there either -- maybe somebody tested this?

Ghosts in the Machine - Stuck on Multi tool merchant part [Bug]

So I've done expanded my base, got the construction and science terminals with the workers done, put the forcefield on my MT, and finished the abandoned building section. Problem is that I went and explored the galaxy, while ignoring the quest for a couple days. Now that I want to finish it, the marker that wants me to talk to an MT merchant at a space station is impossible to do. Because the space station specified is an outlaw station. There is no MT merchant.

I've gone to other systems, but it keeps redirecting me back to that system. I've interacted with dozens of different MT merchants at dozens of different space stations, it still won't progress. I've bought well over 10K nanites worth of upgrades from MT merchants and nothing happens. I've bought a new multi tool, filled the 24 slots with the upgrades I've bought, and nothing happens.

Can this be fixed? How? If not, do I just scrap 90+ hrs of effort, restart on new save, just to finish the main questline?

Terrain glitching issue causing problems with second base. Any way to fix this? (PS5) [Question]

I'm a recently returned player to the game, and I have been enjoying things so far.

One thing I have started to experience though, which is a bit of a turn off, is terrain glitching that is turning my second base into a mess.

It all started off normally. I stumbled across a paradise planet that was seemingly rich with materials, as well as buried technology modules with no sentinels.

I flew around looking for a good place to set up a base and eventually found a relatively flat area within a horseshoe shaped valley. The terrain wasn't really flat upon further inspection, so I decided to spend some time flattening a nice spot before setting a computer there to claim the area, which I did.

https://imgur.com/vwgIxUd

I then started to head out to collect the resources I needed to get things up and running, which include a central square module connected to a circular one. Then I uploaded the base using the computer, After that, I crafted a few solar panels and batteries to keep everything powered, then crafted another portal so I could switch between my bases.

After each change to my base, I was uploading it, and everything at this point was still going along without issue.

After coming back one time though, I noticed an L-shaped ditch had appeared at the side of the main square module, so I raised the terrain and re-flattened it and moved on. I also then realised that the terrain only had a one-sided texture, which I couldn't see from the ground, but if I flew up more than 20 feet or so, I could see that jagged terrain peaks were still there so I had to re-level them again.

After that and from that point on though, things started going south, and appeared to be doing so at an increased rate. New holes and ditches started appearing, leading me having to spend more and more time...

How to Get Base Screenshots to Appear on the Teleport Terminal Menu [Answered]

I had been looking up how to save your base screenshot so it appears on the Teleporter Terminal menu. I wasn't able to find anything online, but I seem to have come up with a workaround that saves it. Go to your base computer and activate it. Use Capture New Base Screenshot and take the screenshot you want of your base. Upload Base. After the restore point is saved, close the game. (For PC, you can use Options > Quit to Desktop. For PS4, use the PS button to leave the game, then press the Options button, choose Close Application, then click OK. Exit to Mode Select will not work.)

This works on my PS4 Pro, and on my PC. It does not seem to work on the XBox One console. If you play your Xbox game on your PC via Xbox Cloud Gaming, you can use this technique, and it will show up in future PC sessions, but it won't carry back over to the Xbox console.

Need advice on getting a flying companion [Question]

There's a creature I found that I really like but it's a flier, and it flies quite high up. The best aproach I've come up with so far is to make a pillar using the terrain manipulator and stand atop it, but then the pirates decided to attack me . There must be a better way, can I lure them down with something? They just move too fast and are too high up to feed

Can't sell manifests no what. Need advice [Question]

So About two weeks ago is when it started. I was able to sell a captains and crew manifests, and tried to sell some extras I had. Couldn't sell the extras after so I waited a day to sell them. Still couldn't sell them. I eventually discarded. Today I did two derelict freighters and got the manifests from each of them. Got the log update saying to bring them to the space station, which I did. (Mind you, I did try to sell them in the systems I got them in before trying to do so in different systems), but once I got away from the derelict, the quest log for it dissappear and once I get to the stations, no one is interested in taking them. I haven't sold any for a while now so I don't know what's going on with it.

I started a mission and can't finish it. [Question]

In the ghost in the machine mission you need to visit a multitool technology merchant at a vy'keen system but 1, the system it wants me to go to is gek and 2, it's an outlaw system. I've also already been to the system so it tells me to go there with a teleporter, so i can't reset the mission from a different system.

Anything else i can do so i don't need to make a new save and lose my progress?

Have multiple saves on Normal Mode, How to tell them apart? [Question]

I play on PC and have multiple saves that I play with. All of them are on normal mode so they all have the same symbol on them. The only thing that is different is of course the playtime. One of my saves is solo, while a couple of the saves are set up for multiplayer depending on which group of people im playing with.

Question is, how do i tell them apart as they all have the same symbol/color scheme. Is there a way to customize the character select screen to help organize which character is which beyond just trying to remember playtime.

Well... that one hurt [Discussion]

Got hit with a scrapping bug.

Had my nice S class Solar upgraded to 48+21+12 and was looking to get the cargo upgraded further. Saw an S class solar fly into the pirate station I just landed in and bought it. Scrapped it. Checked my exosuit inventory. Score! 3 augments. Hopped in and out of my main (I had another ship in my stable, which was summoned to replace the scrapped one) and go to the scrapping station. Open up the interface and go to add the storage slots and... my main ship is now S15+4+3.

Seems my main's inventory was switched with the previously scrapped ship's. No, I didn't scrap my main by mistake (it's still there in the station, just with the wrong inventory). And no, I can't revert to a pre-scrap save because I'm playing in Permadeath. The only save I have is the one where I jumped in and out before trying to upgrade. Lost a ton of salvaged glass, and a few other things. Not a big deal. The worst is losing all my hard-earned slots and upgrades.

sigh Looks like I got some upgrading to do. Again. :(

Automatic Recharge of Launch Thrusters [Bug]

Its not a big deal, but annoys me nonetheless. Got this Launch Thrusters upgrade thinking it will save me some hassle of refueling the ship every now and again. Its supposed to recharge automatically while the ship is stationary. Which should work great since I spend a lot of time walking around planets. It doesnt seems to be working tho. Visually I can see the charge indicator filling up, but I still have add fuel. Sometimes the indicator is half full but my ship tells me that there is no fuel for take off. Is it a bug or am I doing something wrong here? I dont have much space in my ship, so if its useless - I'll just dump it.

Expedition items to your main [Question]

Hey there - new to this sub, though been playing this amazing game religiously for quite a while. Expeditions are fun, and I understand why you start each one with a new save, but is there a way to keep collected items / ships? I don’t have much motivation to upgrade a lot if i’m just playing the save for the rewards.

#TBT its almost the anniversary date for the First Intergalactic War 5/7/2021 [Information]

I really wish I had picked up this game back then, would've definitely joined in. Only a few brave souls will know the story of this day.... I'm sure there have been many more wars out there in other galaxies. Perhaps I'll be able to join in one day.

shout out to u/FlashDriveBruh , I randomly came across an article from 2021 that mentioned you. Cheers!

Ship crafting would be cool [Suggestion]

Ship crafting would be very hard to implement and balance, so I doubt they will ever put it in. But while I love ship hunting I think it would be neat to be able to craft your own ship out of the existing parts. Maybe with an extremely high cost to off set the hunting?

why is EVERY freighter battle for a Sentinel-type freighter? [Question]

I'm on the current expedition and I turned down the first freighter and second freighter I defended (both C-class sentinel types), and I'm currently reloading trying to find a freighter that I want to have.

Every single one of these fights (at least a dozen so far) have been Sentinel-type freighters (but two of them have been the star-destroyer types).

I want a normal small merchant freighter, but I can't find one for the life of me.

Am I doing something wrong?

Question about Waypoints/Locations of interest [Question]

So lastnight while following the Artemis questline I came across a planet and found some huge caves filled with Cobalt, I also used my signal amplifier as per the quest, but while doing that I used a data thingy to locate a drop pod.

Well, I went to the drop pod leaving behind my portable refiner and signal amplifier. I got my drop pod and along the way found some trade posts and empty buildings to search. I plan to go back to this planet to mine and sell cobalt and explore more...

My question is....is there a way to locate the way points I unlocked or places of interest?. After leaving my signal amplifier and refiner at the waypoint to go get the drop pod...I realized I had no idea how to get back to the waypoint...lol. There are no markings on my radar to point me in the direction of the waypoints or any of the trade posts, empty buildings I found while there.

So when I do return to the planet, I just have to fly around till I find them again?

Is there a way to tag waypoints, empty buildings or trade posts so that they show up on my radar and show me what direction they are in?

If I find a building that I need a specific item to get into, if I leave the planet how do I know where to go to get back to that specific building? Same question for when I find a ship in need of repairs? How do I relocate these spots I've been to?

Sorry for all the questions, im really enjoying this game. Just started playing this past Sunday and was feeling a bit overwhelmed by it. Lastnight I felt a breakthrough and was feeling pretty good and less overwhelmed lol. Then I realized I had no idea how to relocated places of interest after leaving them.

Again, sorry for the long post and all the questions. Any tips and suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Settlement Question [Question]

I’m trying to get a settlement on the paradise moon I’m on. I am using the settlement map thing and it keeps sending me to a barren planet, volcanic planet, or icebound planet. But not the moon. I’ve reloaded ~20 times and it hasn’t worked thus far. I’ve also tried going to the settlements where it sends me, discovering it and turning down the overseer role as well as accepting the role, using a map again, and then doing so on the next settlement hoping it would remove the already discovered settlements from the pool. But then the map will send me back do a different settlement on the same planets. Can settlements not be on moons? Or am I just having horrible RNG? Sorry for the wall.
