Is there really no way to mark non-default ships on your hub? [Question]

Hello everyone, I landed my favourite starship - the HMS Ballbag - and found an abandoned starship on the planet. I added it to my collection, not realising that this makes it my default starship and removes the HMS Ballbag from my HUD. I know it's within about 800u of the new starship but I cannot locate it for the life of me and think I may have gotten disorientated. I can't summon it as it's out of launch fuel. Is there really no way to mark it on the HUD for me to find?

Edit - title should say HUD

Is the new Expedition worth it? [Question]

I realize it's a subjective question, however it sounds like a particularly brutal and less popular Expedition. I started one and died a few times and haven't gone back as I have plenty of time still, but I'm wondering if it's worth the effort? Living frigate looks sweet but is the Expedition actually fun to do? The only other one I've done is the one for the Normandy and I enjoyed that one.

Knowledge needed to enjoy expeditions? [Question]

Have had NMS since launch and always enjoyed it but have never been able to truly commit as I keep getting distracted. Have started a new playthrough probably the last 10 times or so a major update hit and always enjoy it but never enough to really sink my teeth into and get to the meat of the game. I have only gotten far enough to basically still be playing vanilla version content

I'm wanting to play again now and the expedition sounds awesome but I'm afraid I won't have enough experience/knowledge on what I should be doing to fully embrace it. So I am wondering should I just start a new normal playthrough to learn more about the game first or go ahead and give the expedition mode a try?

Thanks for any advice

Game broken? [Question]

OK Ladies and Gents. I think I might have broken my game. I have been plating through the story and I got to the point where I'm supposes to get an overseer for my base. We'll I didn't go get the one that was in a different system like the game wanted me to do. I just went and got one at the station in the system my base is set up in.

Now, the mission is to go speak to the overseer at my base. Every time I do the only dialog I get is "I should let the Gek work" or something like that. It won't let me advance the story anymore.

Can I get some suggestions? I have unfortunately already made a manual save with the overseer in place. So reloading is not an option.

so I'm stuck in outer space... [Bug]

So, I was playing the community expedition and was trying (and failing) to get storm crystals, but then I died by falling into a hole. When I respawned, I was in orbit of a planet and falling to my death, but my life support fails and kills me long before I reach the ground. Is there anyway to fix this?

Just finished the expedition. Now to start building a home. [Question]

So I just finished. (Bugged so I can’t get final living ship, lame). But I figure now it’s time to build a base for permadeath save as I don’t really have one. Problem is finding a nice planet to do it on. Does permadeath have paradise planets? Or are they all done level of hostile? I have not gone too far off the main expedition path as I wanted to complete it quickly. But I never found even a somewhat calm planet.

I KNOW HOW TO GET LARVAL CORES WITHOUT DYING!!! [Information]

After a while of experimentation, I’ve discovered a way to get larval cores easily and without much harm. When you break an egg, the monstrosity’s come out and attack you, however, if you shoot your paralysis mortar at them while they are halfway out of the ground, they will get stuck in place and be unable to move or otherwise attack you. While this is happening, your able to go and break other eggs and get their larval cores. I got ten within a couple minutes, and that’s only because I took time to experiment on how to not die. Use this information to win, we can beat Permadeath!!

Falling through floor from transporter [Question]

hi all, so I've been playing for a few weeks now and am really enjoying it. However, as the title suggests, when I build a base, raised one or two wall heights and with an alloy floor and place a transporter on it, I invariably when I come back to the base end up underneath.

Any suggestions on a possible fix would be handy.

No Man's Sky: Factionalism (update idea) [Suggestion]

Using a Space Station Override at an Abandoned Space Station lets you claim it as your own, along with the system that it occupies. For multiplayer purposes, claiming an Abandoned Space Station allows the player to officially create their faction's capital star system, but the player must first prioritize creating a colony on a planet, and if the colony survives for a week, the planet that was selected to have a faction colony is declared as a faction capital planet.

Claiming an Abandoned Space Station turns it into a Capital Space Station, where you can collect resources from the capital planet, appoint jobs for faction citizens, engage with other factions in trade and diplomacy, and customize your faction's government, laws, emblem, naming convention, starships, freighters and Multi-Tools.

After having a planet declared as a faction capital planet, you can buy another non-player claimed Space Station that is the nearest to the faction capital system with Nanites in order to expand the faction's territory.

From time to time, your Codex will notify you of issues happening within your faction so you can return to your Capital Space Station to solve them.

AITA? Space Anomaly Etiquette Question [Discussion]

I’ve been playing NMS for a long time, as I’m sure a lot of us here have. Usually when I go to the Anomaly I like to hang out, sit down in front of the nexus and see if others will join and either bring out their creature companions or just hang out.

I try to be nice and send nice things like Fusion Ignitors and Portable Reactors. I do understand some people would rather do the grind and not get these gifts and I try to respect that! Today I sent someone a Portable Reactor and got a pretty rude comment from the person I sent it to. He made the comment and mentioned he trashed it. I’m on console and can’t type out messages otherwise I would have apologized; but I wasn’t quite getting why he was so upset about it.

I guess my question is, is the practice of sending (legitimate!) items generally not accepted and should I stop doing so? Not ten seconds earlier someone sent me 10 Warp Cells and I can understand why someone doesn’t want 1 Creature Pellet.

I thoroughly enjoy the S.A. when a few people can sit around going through their pets, etc. and really am kind of bummed at how my action was received.

TL;DR - someone got mad that I sent them an expensive item in the Anomaly and hurt my feelings 😂

Expedition won't let me claim the final reward [Bug]

I have completed the expedition, on the final loop section of the expedition tab it shows all 5 phases complete. However the big "expedition #7: Leviathan phases completed" only registers 1/5. But if I select the "Expedition #7 mission from the log tab, the little popup in game says the expedition is complete. I'll link screen captures below to better illustrate.

This was flat out the most buggy expedition yet. I had my ship taking damage from invisible planetary features that refused to render so you couldn't avoid them. I had my multi-tool disappear and stop working mid derelict freighter which then caused the game to crash. I had the game crash mid warp for no reason. And now this one with it refusing to let me claim the final reward.

Quick guide to expedition 7 [Information]

I just completed the expedition yesterday and I wanted to offer tips based on my own experiences.

  1. The starting planet helps you get several milestones done easily. Ignoring essentially all of the milestones about getting to the anomaly you can tame an aggressive creature easily. Plus the planet has the skeletal remains. You wanna get a few hundred thousand units worth of items to sell (salvaged data, remains, etc). This will be useful as soon as you make your first jump to the 1st anchor point. Before you go though, sell those items in the station and talk to the npc's there. This will let you get 3/3 vykeen words, and up to 2/3 korvax and gek words. You can get the last words for the korvax and gek in the next system. There is an outlaw system right in the path to the 1st anchor point that lets you buy illegal goods and then sell em in the next station, letting you complete another milestone. Bonus is that you also gain over 4 million in goods for redeeming that milestone, so if you didn't earn 1 million units yet you can now. By this point you should have hit the 1st anchor point. Pro tip: I recommend saving at least 1 exocraft memory fragment, or rerolling them until you get the minotaur cannon.

  2. The 1st anchor point will let us get 4 more objectives done (possibly 5), not including reaching the actual location and the memory stuff. First the planet is an infested world, so you can build a base there and get the milestone done. Btw bases continue after you die, so you can use them to fast travel to the anchor point if needed. Anyways you should have gotten a minotaur geobay as a reward for the base milestone. I would deploy it and install the minotaur cannon. The reason for this is because I found that the minotaur's cannon is the best tool at this point to kill sentinels. It also is refueled by carbon, which can be easily gathered atthe 1st anchor point. I recommend...

How to unbind a key?! (Mouse and keyboard controls) [Question]

So I've been playing with the keybinds, and it seems that there is no apparent way of removing the assignment of a function to a key?

For instance, I have not used auto-walk at all throughout my gameplay, so I thought I might free up the letter "k", which is used as a keybind for this function. But the game did not give me a clear way of doing so!

I even tried searching for configuration files, to see if using a text editor would solve the problem, but couldn't find any that fit the description!

A (relatively) new player's take on this expedition [Discussion]

I have about 12 hours on a normal save and have never done an expedition before the current one. I just finished it (took about 12 hours) and here are some takeaways.

The amount of free stuff chucked at you throughout is mind boggling, from an amazing starship to free tech to a free freighter. I didn't even know solar sails and freighters were a thing before the expedition.

Staying alive isn't hard. I have been shocked at the number of complaints about permadeath. I went into this knowing sodium, oxygen, and ion batteries are key mats, and to be wary of overusing the jetpack. I never came close to dying beyond the one required time. Even when doing the whispering eggs, which I'd never seen before, and sentinel combat.

I learned more about the game by doing the expedition than playing my normal save.

Overall, it was a fun, educational, and not frustrating experience for a new player that knows little about the game. Again, I'm surprised to see so much backlash. I feel like there are more training wheels on this expedition than in the normal game.

Returning player; wondering about base building improvements [Question]

Hi, The last time I played NMS was Aug. 2020. I liked the game a lot, and got really into base building, but ultimately tired of it when I ran up against various issues with base building. In particular, syncing issues that prevented friends from seeing/loading recent changes to each others' bases, and also the fact that foliage (mostly large plants/trees) constantly regenerated in random places, clipping through buildings, and ruining aesthetics.

I just finished reading through all of the release notes since I last played. First off, let me say 1) wow has there been a lot of new content and improvements; that was a hell of a read. And 2) kudos to HelloGames for their great release notes pages. (By the way if any staff are reading, there's a lot of images on previous release notes pages that aren't loading properly).

While there's obviously an insane number of relevant improvements that I'm excited to check out, and I'm assuming the overall experience is probably much better with all the major overhauls, I didn't notice anything that specifically suggested the issues I mentioned had been addressed, directly at least.

When I first loaded my old save at my base, I did see random trees and stuff everywhere (not surprising for a first load). I haven't yet played around with reloading/leaving/returning/multiplayer/etc., but I wanted to ask for the insights of the current veteran players.

Have these aspects of base building been improved? Specifically, 1) synchronicity/loading between multiple players, and 2) flora generation/regeneration and persistence.

Thanks for any insights.

Hey guys, VERY new to the game, just started a few days ago, but did the Leviathan expedition and got to the end.

To the players who are having trouble with Whispering Eggs. My method. I haven't died collecting eggs for years... [Information]

Find an abandoned outpost, and after ensuring no ceiling hazardous floura (check and kill if present) drop a base in the middle (if there is a ceiling hazard it will attack you through the roof which is annoying). Now build walls around the patches of eggs - you'll need 400 carbon for small outposts and 800 for bigger ones. Keep the walls close to the eggs - no more than 4 walls around each pile and no roof (reason for this later). Once done, get on top of the outpost and shoot an egg inside one of your "buildings". This will cause the swarm to spawn. Now jump (jetpack) into a DIFFERENT "building" and shoot and collect the eggs - if the swarm has already spawned it won't spawn again. Jump out to the roof of the outpost, rinse and repeat until all the eggs are gone. You can use your analysis viewer to check for the red egg signs if you don't remember if you got to a "building" yet. Then stay on top of the outpost and go into the build menu to remove all the building parts (if you want to keep the carbon) and wait until the swarm despawns. The acid they shoot cannot reach you on top of the outpost. --- why such small "buildings"? In the later updates, the spawn can run through the walls of the "buildings" you make. If you make the "buildings" too big, they will run through the wall and see you (and attack you). As long as you're quick, they won't see you in the "building" and the acid they shoot won't go through the wall. They don't see you so they won't charge. Easy-peasy. You can use this for the main game to collect $$ early on, just need the base computer plans. Note that the tunnel on larger outposts is NOT high enough to avoid the acid - stay to either side on the tall structures.

Quicksilver items free to other [Question]

Xbox X

Tonight I noticed most (but of all) of the quicksilver items I’ve purchased over the past few months on my own account now show as automatically “available” when my wife plays on her account. While this is awesome, it also makes no sense, we each have our own consoles, Xbox accounts and cloud saves tied to that specific account. My wife occasionally uses my console as it’s connected to both the game room and bedroom TVs, but uses her account. I haven’t checked with my son yet to see if the items are available on his account as well, but the situation is odd since we all use our own Xbox accounts. I don’t think having an Xbox family plan would cause this, but I’m not sure. Has anyone else experienced something similar?

Two quick questions [Question]

Is there any reason why my stack of 5 or so Emergency Broadcast Receivers would have been removed from my inventory during the last few months of me not really playing the game?

The last quest for "The Farmer" is bugged. I go talk to my farmer, he says his little piece about how he's taught me everything he knows or whatever, and then when the conversation is over I still have the quest and the objective to go talk to him. Is there any way to fix this? I'm used to quests getting bugged so I'm guessing not but I figured I'd ask anyways.

Missed out on a stasis device [Bug]

Was on the expedition 7. Saw a nexus quest that has a stasis device as a reward. Of course I’m going to do it. I get through it. Fly into the anomaly, and my ship gets stuck in the landing phase. The frustration I felt when I had to reload and find out that I would t get the reward was…. Palatable.

Finished the expedition but want to bump up the research for Exp 7 [Suggestion]

I hope this is a good suggestion. I have my main save, so when I finish an expedition, it gathers dust. I may log in to help other players, but after the deadline, buh-bye.

This one still requires us to work after we do all our milestones. And I'm cool with that. I find the feeding of animals to be tranquil, and that's probably how I'll contribute.

But then I'm thinking, what am I going to do with all of Polo's rewards? They're just going to waste. I think what I'll do is give liquid sun and ancestral memories to other players. Let them hand them in and get the rewards. I know I can't give somnal dust to people; not sure why.

Hmm, it occurs to me that maybe I can give away the rewards, but I haven't tried that. Maybe they're like somnal dust and can't transfer. But giving away memories and/or the components ought to be a good use of my time. Agree?

Expedition 7 [Discussion]

Hey y'all.

I was playing the expedition tonight making good progress. I was pretty confident I wasn't going to die after the required one at the beginning.

I was gathering the storm crystals I needed and I forgot my plan to use the minotaur to hop in and out to protect myself from the storms. I was sucked up into the air and mis-timed my jetpack use and died.

I was gutted at first, all that progress down the tube. I tried reloading a save but that didn't work. I debated on whether or not to stop playing for the night. I kept going and lo and behold I improved my outing the third time around.

I was more aware of my objectives and took advantage of some early tasks I missed prior. I am ahead of where I was in my last loop and I am more determined than ever to get to the end.

It helps that most of my achievements from last run instantly complete when I get to the general area again but I digress.

Hello games was right: death is not the end. The loop continues.

Good luck fellow travellors!

Phase 4, hostile attack vector [Discussion]

I just...need to vent, right now.

Halfway through the 4th phase. Collected all the whispering eggs and killed all the sentinels. Farming mats on a calm planet with passive sentinels in a low conflict system. Suddenly, *WARNING // Hostile Attack Vector Detected! * and I was dead in less than 5 seconds. No way to protect myself, no way to find cover, no way to get to my ship.

I don't mind dying because of a mistake, but it's upsetting having to reset so close to the end because of something random that I had literally no means of surviving.

Disappearing liquid sun [Question]

So I'm still trying to get past the first couple of objectives in the new expedition. A few days ago I created a save that had only 24 Liquid Sun. Yesterday I gathered about 400 more, and saved/quit before turning it in. Guess what - I just loaded into that same save with 24 Liquid Sun. Sodium is insanely rare where I currently am, so the hours I've spent hunting it down to recharge are increasingly infuriating, to the point where I give up until the next update/expedition rolls around. Is this a glitch, or something I'm just obliviously doing wrong?

Can't interact with destination? [Bug]

Maybe this expedition being PD brings out the bug bashing in all of us bc we're trying to be so careful not to lose progress! Anyway, I'd not seen this one before, so I thought I'd mention it.

Right after Anchor #3 I activated the memory resonator thingy and hopped in my ship to zoom over to the goal. Unfortunately the approximate marker was at the bottom of a huge mountain and the actual memory was up top. I got up there, it told me I had found it, but then there was no way to interact with it in the HUD. I figured maybe it triggered wrong, so I'll save and reload to try again. So I summon my ship....and I can't get in my ship. I drop a Save Point and I can't use that either. Menus work fine, but can't interact with any objects once they're out on the planet.

So I figure I'm about done for now anyway and go to quit, and it says my last save was 15 minutes earlier. It only took about 5 minutes to jetpack up that mountain and get glitched....which means it didn't create a restore point when I got out of my ship that last time, so I likely will be reloading back from just before Anchor #3. Oh well, better than dying, lol.

I usually play without Multiplayer turned on, so I wonder if my Xbox One is just having trouble loading all the other players activity? Is this a glitch people see pretty often?

Expedition 7 Support Group [Discussion]

Tell me your horror stories. Doesn't matter if you died or just came close. What was the most bullshit thing that happened to you this expedition that killed you/almost killed you?

I'll start. It was the derelict freighter milestone, so like the second or third last one. I'd made it that far without dying once, despite some very nasty scares involving falling off a cliff while searching for a memory echo and having my hazard protection cut out while fighting a sentinel AT-ST.

I got pinned down in a doorway partway through the freighter. My equipment was crap, but I had been unwilling to grind for better because I'd had ENOUGH of this expedition and was so close to being DONE that I could almost taste it.

Long story short, I copped out and soft reset before dying. I had to redo some milestones anyway because the game doesn't save on freighters.

That's my story, I'm interested to hear yours!

So I did the "Trace of Metal” mission for the 1st time on the Expedition 7 save [Discussion]

SPOILER WARNING: If you haven’t done the mission yet and don’t want to be spoiled, please don’t read past this point

 

 

First of, let me just say that I had a blast with the feel of this expedition. I’ve always played casually on Normal but something about the odds being stacked against you combined with the constant feeling of everything being out to kill you clicked for me. However, I got unlucky with the bug where I couldn’t claim the final space whale reward so I just decided “what the heck let’s keep playing” and check out the content I wasn’t able to do over the past 6 or so months like settlements, etc.

And so I came across the “Trace of Metal” mission. It started out easy enough and I was pretty stoked to upgrade the Minotaur which was my constant companion during the expedition.

And then I got to the part where you have to face a Sentinel Walker.

I was like, I got my Minotaur buddy kitted out with new parts and an AI controller, what could possibly go wrong? Well, turns out it wasn’t the 2v1 curbstomp battle against a single walker I was expecting. Next thing I know I was jetpacking frantically across the icy wasteland with my suit shields down to zero, hazard protection slowly draining, my AI minotaur knocked out, and a horde of angry alert level 3 sentinels hot on my trail. Oh and I guess the walker was somewhere in there too.

So I did what any self-respecting traveller on the verge of death would do

I jumped into the nearest cave and started digging myself a quick shelter at least until my shields recover. Somehow I must have tunneled far enough away that the sentinels stopped searching and the walker went back to whatever it was guarding originally.

I went back for the minotaur and fixed up just enough of the tech (no more fancy AI this time hoo boy)...

Multi-biome planets and more variation in number of assets would make me come back to this game [Suggestion]

I got no man's sky not long after it came out and was immediately blown away by the almost infinite number of planets. But at some point it got very repetitive and i'm not that into the base building stuff so I kind of stopped playing.

I tried getting back into it a few times (permadeath vr was intense) but the thrill of exploration isnt there anymore. I know that every planet will look the same everywhere and there will be around ten species to find.

Also, since the new updates, the terrain will almost always be montainous (I miss the super flat desert-like planets of the first version).

I feel like multiple biome planets and more variation in the range of fauna to find on a planet (let's say between 5 and 100 species) would make exploring way more exciting and get me back into this game. Hard...

I might add having patrolling enemies and forts of different factions with related quests, skyrim style would make it a more fun and lived in world.

I feel that's the next big step no man's sky should take to become a perfect exploration game (please Sean, I know you lurk here...)

Wishes for NMS 4.0 or future updates [Suggestion]

I think they should add a sort of industry update. Imagine establishing and managing a proper interstellar company. You pick what you produce, it could be legal goods/services or illegal. You pick your trade routes and have to defend from pirates or sentinels. You also have to manage your supply and demand, also considering the galactic economy. I think a business update would be exciting. Something to do in the long run. And they could make it spicy by having a leaderboard of the top corporations in the universe, players could buy npc companies, or even negotiate deals with other players.

A business update could also add more reasons to claim and upload a system. You could impose taxes on foreign companies or make deals with them. You could run that system totally independent and have to fight the galactic authorities. You could own space stations and collect taxes from passerbys. Also personally I think NMS needs something expensive but also rewarding. You could make and own different types of space stations that could specialize in one thing. Like a trading station where you can trade every product in the game. A ship building station. A freighter and frigate station. These stations could be the end game. Costing millions maybe a billion… but the return on investment could be greater.

A business update could explore the galactic economy in more depth. More goods could be added to the game that could only be produced in proper industrial setups not just in your back pack. Bases could be separated to industrial bases or normal bases. A stock market could be introduced on player and npc companies. Companies could have npc or player employees and pay them. Companies could claim and occupy planets or systems(at a hefty cost).

TLDR: there are a lot of things hello games could do with a business or industry update. I just spat out some half baked ideas. The way I see...

Stuck in space station, cannot get out of my ship. Am I hosed? [Bug]

So I am playing through the current expedition (#7 Leviathan). I was in space and was being attacked by pirates and flew into the space station as I was taking some bad damage. When I exited my ship I was flung upwards and got stuck in the walls in the top of the space station and could not move. Being as this is a permadeath I did not want to risk falling into space and dying so I reloaded the last save.

The game loaded and I am in my ship but as soon as the save loads the my ship is floating in the space station - not landed. I cannot fly out of the SS as there is an invisible wall preventing me. I also cannot get my ship to land. I can trigger the "landing sequence" but it doesn't actually land and I am unable to exit my ship.

Is there any way to fix this? or am I just completely hosed and have to start all over on the expedition?

A feature I'd love to be implemented into NMS [Suggestion]

So, I've heard the devs looks at this sub so I'm gonna pitch my concept here.

Preface: I haven't played the game for very long so please excuse any inaccuracies I say about the game. I'm also on mobile so beware of typos and spacing.

So recently I've watched a lot of videos on Star Citizen which is basically NMS on steroids and one feature it has is fully fleshed out interiors in bigger star ships. I would LOVE to see some semblance of this in NMS.

So my idea of this is all hauler class ships and maybe shuttles would have walkable interiors. You could press a button on the outside of your ship and physically walk inside and proceed to sit in your cockpit. You would also be able to access your ship inventory by accessing some sort of crate in your ship. The most important would be the ability to open the ramp on the back of your ship to be able to move large cargo into your ship.

So to accompany this ship feature, I would love to see some mission types that involve physically having to go grab an item to load onto your ship. For example: you have to fly to a nearby planet to pick up a shipment of x item and bring it to x space station for a reward. Pirates and sentinels could be involved too. So when pirates attack you (which could be made more likely during these types of missions) there could be a separate health bar for your ship which would be your cargo ramp integrity. When depleted, your crate of x items will fly out of the ship and can either be retrieved by you or captured by the pirates (or other players). An outlaw variation could be having to collect a shipment from an outlaw station, then taking that shipment to a space station but your cargo is REQUIRED to be inspected by sentinels which can be avoided by using a one-time use ship upgrade that is essentially the same as the scan deflector or by fighting them off.

Another benefit this...

Using just portals to run around trading feels a bit exploity.

The free travel and location near galactic terminals in space stations makes having an enormous freighter pointless because I can just skip through the warp with what I have on me.

The freighter should be more of a space station or military ship imo, since it is useless for freight.

Expedition 7 Tips: what you remember [Discussion]

I haven't beaten the expedition yet, but I did finish Anchor Point 1 then died. I noticed 3 things that you "remember" right off the bat, to help/hurt your progression.

  1. you remember everything you've already scanned in a previous life. This means when you go back to the first planet, you can't scan the same flora/fauna for quick units. HOWEVER, you can resubmit a full fauna set for the nanite bonus!! So, tip no.1 make sure you fully scan at least 2 full planets. This will give you 2000+ nanites and immediately resolve one of the later milestones (I think stage 4?). You'll also start your next run with a windfall for mod shopping in the first Space Station.

  2. after you've visited Polo, you'll always remember that he needs "Ancestral Memories" and you'll be able to harvest them from fauna right away. It only takes a creature pellet to interact. Tip no.2: you should already be taming a predator walker on the first planet, as that's a late milestone. Now, in your subsequent reruns, while you wait for your refiner to make condensed carbon and pure ferrite to fix your ship, you should be harvesting memories from tamed fauna. When you go to the Anomaly for the first time you can dump them all on Polo for another free late milestone that also helps him push the community bonus.

  3. you'll remember visiting NPC aliens, but you WON'T remember the word they taught you. Since the NPC counts as "visited" they won't engage you for dialect help again. This one actually sucks, because there is a milestone to "learn three words from each language" and you can't load up on Vy'keen words in the first Station after you've died once. No real tip here, just know this one will get harder to chase down the more often you die.

Honorable Mention: this one seems to be very well known already, but to reiterate: build tons of bases and name them after the milestone they complete. You keep...

The Leviathan Pilgrimage. A No HUD run through Expedition 7. Halfway there [The Leviathan Pilgrimage ]

Greetings again Travellers

Here's day one's text Incase you want to read how getting off the planet went

After reaching the space station and getting to the anomaly I realized I needed to gather liquid sun or ancestral memories to unlock my hyperdrive and it was pretty uneventful except riding a 4 legged kiwi looking creature back to my ship

Went back to Polo and found out I was short on liquid sun but had enough ancestral memories to complete the quest and so it's off to anchor point 1

I've never really done No HUD outside the planet but luckily I found out that if I pay attention to my pulse it will lock on to my objective and so it actually worked

Flew right in to the area and found the portal much quicker than I had expected same with the first loop which led to a crashed freighter nearby the grave marker so I was able to knock out that milestone and build a base too

The loop one grave was 600u from the crashed freighter and completely forgot about the monstrosities that spawn so I had to make a mad dash back to the ship

Here's a montage through loop 1

Anchor points 2 and 3 were pretty uneventful as well besides shooting pirates that were in my way and the crazy difficulty of locking on and finding them No HUD which probably took a few hours

Now that I've reached anchor point 3 I believe I'm halfway through this Pilgrimage but still haven't hit the hardest milestones of storm crystal or whispering eggs which will be on my next Livestream tonight

Here's Anchor points 2-3 Edited

I honestly thought this Pilgrimage through the expedition was going to take longer but after having trouble with finding the objectives I'm realizing this is still very difficult but not completely impossible...

Dark Pulse's Expedition 7 Dirty Little Secrets: Or, "How to stop re-entering the Traveller Roundabout in record time" [Information]

I just got through with rushing (well... not really rushing - I played fast, but carefully!) Expedition 7 in order to bust the loop. Total time: 7 1/2 hours to break the loop, with only dying twice right at the start (to an unfortunately timed storm...).

And yes, it is possible to beat this expedition, so everyone claiming it's too hard - it's not. It's harder than normal, and you will have to play considerably carefully, but it is by no means unwinnable.

Granted, there are definitely ways you can make it easier... especially if you're a regular player.

Here's some more cheaty ways you may not have thought of... which may or may not apply to you: Did you happen to get Twitch drops from the Outlaws streams? If yes, you just made your life a whole lot easier in this expedition. Get one of those ships from the Quicksilver Synthesis Companion, and sell it for scrap. Voila, 35 million units for a hauler! Now you can go and buy plenty of Sodium/Oxygen/etc. to make preparing for the elements and refueling your systems much easier. As a bonus, you'll get tech that will likely more than double your hyperdrive range, getting you to more anchor systems in less warps! Thanks to AlfheimWanderer for this tip. One of the few things not reset upon death are bases. So build a base on every anchor planet. If you do happen to get ganked, you can at least get to the planets much quicker once you re-complete Phase 1, without burning up precious hyperdrive fuel. Cleared Expedition 1? Use the Golden Vector, silly! Just claim it as usual from the Quicksliver Synthesis Companion. Odds are it will be a better ship than the one the Expedition gives you until the community has unlocked S/X-class stuff. Alternatively, if you got the Outlaws Twitch drops, you have several A-class ships to choose from - not as good...

Ship Hunting question - do specific models have limits to standard inventory slots? [Question]

I'm waiting and reloading at a space station right now and made a weird observation.

One of the spawning Fighter ships always spawns as B-S class with 38 slots+, while the other i want only spawns with 17, 18, sometimes 19 slots, but never more, even tho it always comes as an A Class a lot.

Is it possible that different models only come with a max of such and such many slots in a system?

Am I missing something?

Screenshot metadata [Suggestion]

I was wondering, since glyphs can be represented as some hex strings, it should theoretically be possible to encode this data as EXIF metadata with the screenshot file itself so that we can just inspect the file properties to revisit the place. I believe this would be an amazing feature to add, with so many screenshots being taken and shared, and people wanting to visit them. I take a screenshot and forget to note down the glyph coordinates (sure I could take a system level screenshot but c'mon, I don't want a wallpaper with glyphs)

Of course most EXIF data is stripped when uploading to content platforms (or so they say) but having it stored with the file metadata will allow me to revisit without having to drop bases or note down glyphs for each screenshot.

Other info like focal length should make photoshop-ing screenshots easier (for those who use such features)

Please implement this HG!

Help an Old Man [Question]

My son had gotten me quite addicted to this game almost a year ago now. It's quite a journey, and I feel like I am living in my own movie, with ups and downs, plot hooks, and all. I have found myself never quite sitting still, always traveling and collecting new things, finding many of wonders about. NASA would be proud of my catalogs, if I would brag.

But now, I have a new journey to take on, to actually build a home. I think I had made a base before, but I don't think I had ever invested the time into it to find it worth returning to. Coming on this Reddit Community gave me so much inspiration to start, before realizing how rough it was to get started.

Now I know I will eventually figure things out, just the way I have done before, but looking at the large projects other members here had taken on, I am overly interested on starting one as well. But how do you guys plan this out, and in addition, place your parts? I've seen rounded builds and perfect circles, and the only things I have seen in the researching terminal are those prefabs.

For context though, I am aiming to build something like an excavation site. Or even something related to mining, such as a larger than life drill. But building a square drill has me turning away from the idea.

Post expedition save file... [Question]

So, my expedition save file feels far better off compared to my previous save file. I want to continue with this character. When I concluded Expedition 7 it said my save would be converted to a normal save... However, I notice that the prices for some of the upgrades still feel ridiculous and I can't seem to buy certain multitool upgrades as its locked behind a memory... you know, the expedition stuff. So... am I on a normal game file now or not? I'd hate to accidentally die at this point and lose everything because it wasn't, in fact, true.

As the title says I'm new by the game, so I have a little question: what game mode do you guys recommend me to play? I'm actually 12 hours in a normal save, did a lot of exploring and just now I've jumped to another galaxy. When I first started, I thought that the expeditions were kind of missions you could do in a normal save, but with a little bit of searching I discovered that they are something like a "headstart" to a save (so I would not be able to play any of them with my actual save). I'm really sad about it, so I'm here asking this question so that I know if I did the right choice with a normal save, or if I should start a new game.

Any tips that could help me in the game are also welcome! Ty in advance.

My only problem with Expeditions in concept [Discussion]

I played NMS when it first released, but like a lot of others stopped playing fairly quickly. Then a couple of years ago, I sunk 80 hours or so into the game and was really glad I gave it a second chance. Then a couple of months ago, I wanted to start from scratch and see where the game has been taken in the intervening releases. And I was astounded; I think there's a lot left to do to make the game better, but I'm so impressed with everything they've kept working on.

But when it comes to the Expeditions...I still haven’t been able to play one. There was an Expedition going on when I first started playing again, but it was over before I was used to the game again, so by the time I was interested it was over. And this new Leviathan thing looks amazing and interesting in equal measure.

But the thing is, I’m an adult. I have responsibilities. I’ve got the best job of my life right now, and for a few months I’m going to be too busy to play No Man’s Sky at all. This likely means I will completely miss the Leviathan Expedition. And I’m…not upset per se, but really disappointed that there’s all this awesome content that I just won’t get to play. Because I’m not prioritizing a video game over other important life things, I just don’t get to experience it.

I just think it sucks. Dedicating a portion of your life to a game, to the detriment of other parts of your life, being a requirement in order to play the game, is a really disappointing aspect for me. I get that NMS wants to keep generating buzz and interest, but using FOMO to strong arm people to keep coming back sucks. You should make a game good enough to have people return/keep playing/try for the first time organically.

And the thing is, they’ve done that. NMS has become an incredible game. I adore it. I’m 115 hours into my newest playthrough, but for me it’s a way to unwind for...

I've spent more time googling bug work around than I've actually played the game. I fall through terrain and die constantly. Every freighter I do teleports me behind invisible walls and I have to restart the game. Every 3 story missions I do I have to find some obscure work around to a bug, and most of the older work arounds and solutions have been patched while they left the actual bugs in. I left the game open too long while googling solutions to bugs in the game and now I can't refund it because "i played it too much". I haven't played it too much, it literally won't let me play it.

A streamer I watch said he saw it at around 60% just a few hours ago. I literally watched the bar climb up to 74% on two days and now it's dropping back down? WTF is going here?

Old ship stuck in base [Bug]

Help please, I just went back to my base and saw a gek with a ship that I found pretty good just in front of my base and wanted to exchange it with one of mine. I conclued the deal but now my now old ship that I just exchanged is stuck in my base and won't leave even if I leave the planet, quit the game, etc. And it's weird because it's turned on, like it is trying to leave and it's making so much noise and blowing dust in my base.

Questions about permadeath mode in general [Question]

So, I’m liking the mode and want to keep this expedition as the seed for a continued play through after the expedition is done. Just curious about: 1) is the cost of everything always this high? Talking about salvage data needed for upgrades, salvaged frigate data, etc. 6k nanites for a single S-module is extreme. 2) should I just start cobalt farming before bothering with the expedition milestones? I’d rather get a ship/freighter/multi tool that I plan to keep instead of wasting upgrades on items I don’t plan on keeping long term (cost is too high. See #1)

Three-way switches? [Question]

I am wondering if there is a simple solution for making a three-way switch (a setup where the power to a device can be toggled from two separate switches freely). The idea is to be able to open and close a door from both sides. I have seen some solutions online, but these are all a few years old and I didn't know if there was a better option now.

accessibility or convenience... either way this NEEDS to happen. [Suggestion]

This latest expedition has pressed uppon the need for two accessibility features that will make permadeath even remotely considerable for me.

​

1: metroid prime style lock on for grounded combat, I've been cheesing the sentinel kills by reloading at the same sentinel piller 4 to 6 times since shutting down the pillar in this way counts nearby sentinels as killed. With the metroid prime style lock on I could actually kill the sentinels as intended.

​

2: fall protection module. This would effectively automatically activate your jetpack just before you hit the ground to either reduce or negate fall damage. As a player with limited vision, falling damage is the only real threat to this completion, and to progress somewhere around 6+ hours on a run only to step wrong and fall off a cliff is so frustrating that I'm about to just say screw this crap and save edit my rewards in due to inaccessibility.

​

it's just so not fair that I can be sitting back with maybe a dot or two of health missing and full shields only for either a fall or some other random thing to completely wipe my entire shield bar upgraded with 2 b class modules and an x class on top, and still manage to one shot my remaining health. I've been trying to complete this for close to 45 hours now and every good run always ends the same... died by fall damage. Also, note, I am not jetpacking, I am not speed boosting, just walking/running forward and jetting only when required to climb steep surfaces.

​

I love the concept of this expedition, but this expedition is showing me why I do not and will never play permadeath. I HATE LOOSING PROGRESS!!!!!!!!! That being said, I'm probably going to make and potentially main a survival save because the overall difficulty of everything else isn't the issue, it's the inescapable unpreventable effects of gravity on your...

Can't complete "Observing The Cycle" [Bug]

So pretty much in the recent expedition, I have died a few times. After fixing my ship this most recent time I went up into space, boarded the anomaly, and went to polo like normal. However this time he's using his normal dialogue options, preventing me from asking him about the loops, and making the objective unfinishable, which also makes it so I'm stuck in the starter system because I don't have the hyper drive he gives you.

Returning player tries expedition [Done]

After almost exactly 2 years since I last played I decided to see what are these expeditions about.

​

Saw some posts saying it's in permadeath mode and I was a bit discouraged to try it but decided to give it a shot anyway. And tbh it wasn't what I was expecting (dying a lot lol). So here is my experience of my first ever expedition and a few tips that might help.

​

I died once after reaching anchor point 2 and almost completing it and a bunch of other further milestones, told myself yep not gonna try again but gave it another shot the next day and slowly completed it in like 12h, didn't get another ship or multitool only what was given to me along the way.

​

And I must say now that I finished it I had a lot of fun trying to figure out the game again and how to do certain milestones, by far the scariest ones are the larval cores one and sentinel ones.

​

I did the larval core milestone the cowardliest way possible I think, flew along the planet surface, spot the whispering egg, land near it and quickly get it and hop back in the ship, repeat 10 times, it was annoying but it worked and felt it was safe.

​

The sentinel ones were easier but I did it backwards I think I first disabled the sentinels completed the milestone and then did the destroying one. On these ones I followed Scottish Rod's video to disable the sentinels (I don't remember doing this ever before so I needed a bit of help).

​

Oh and the anchor point 4 is a pain in the ass, constantly running from sentinels, but if I would need to do it again I would complete the milestone that requires you to destroy 20 sentinels since it gives you the sentinel boundary map and you can use it on the fourth anchor planet to disable the sentinels and do it in peace, also the planet has storm crystals so you can do this as well safely all on the same planet saving a bunch of time....

No Mans Sky Concept- Revamped Creator Menu- Gamemodes- Upload Base creations as a PVP, PVE Land Race, Or Starship Race, Mark Bases as favorites, Base Categories, and so on. [Suggestion]

The Revamped Base menu offers a new menu that takes inspiration from the creator game menu in Fortnite or Roblox. Makes player creations more important than ever. Players can commend other player bases, and bases that are highly commended will be featured in the front page. Players can mark other players bases as favorites, label bases as either a Home base, Battlefield (PVP or PVE), or Race (Starhip or Exocraft). Each these categories are seperated into their own sections on the creator menu.

​

How this works is that the menu is has multiple sections of bases categorized, and players that select , for example, any PVP, PVE, or Race section, can either hover over a large button above that matchmakes the player or fireteam into any available, populated base that are setting up a match on any planet or galaxy and rewards such as Units, quicksilver, Nanites, and a large amount of materials are offered upon completion. Hovering over a specific base, and selecting it in the base menu will give you two options:

  • Teleport to _____ Base

  • Matchmake (gamemode) with other players

  • Just like any gamemode, the modes itself are pretty self explanatory:

​

  • PVP - A player can turn their base into a battlefield that travelers can organize into a deathmatch. Just like any other TDM, the objective is to kill other travelers using weapons until one team reaches the limit.

​

  • PVE - A player can turn their base onto a battlefield that allows players to organize a fireteam to defend waves of enemies such as: Biological Horrors, Sentinels, Hostile Fauna, (Maybe , alien NPCs?)

  • Land Race - Turn your base into a featured race that players can organize all together more efficiently than what we have.

  • Starship Race...

Final thoughts on Expedition 7 [Discussion]

I just finished Expedition 7 and honestly it really wasn't all that bad. It took me 8 iterations and just over 15 hours total. I don't usually play Permadeath and I'm certainly not a hard-core gamer, it's totally doable. I think it's important to remember 3 main things 1) Take your time. Most of the times I died it was due to my impatience. Take the time to think things through. You have 6 weeks total, more than enough time. 2) Place a base at each Anchor Point. It doesn't have to be anything large, just place a base computer and claim the site. It will save you so much time when ( not if ) you die. You'll be able to travel back to them via the Space Station or Anomaly. (Thanks and credit goes to Beeblebum for this idea. Check out his videos on YouTube). 3) Learn from your mistakes. Again, you have plenty of time to complete this. Accept that you will make mistakes that will mean you have to start over. Use those experiences to learn a lesson. I'm not trying to sound preachy or anything here but I was honestly doubting of I'd be able to get through it. I did and honestly it feels awesome. You can all do this. Just don't give up!

New Expedition Actively Encourages You to Not Play the Game [Discussion]

So I've put a few hours into the new expedition now.

What I've concluded is that I shouldn't play the game at all for at least another week or two.

I don't know if it's standard for Permadeath or not, but all the research / upgrade costs are much, much higher than they typically are on normal. Even getting a farm set up seems futile as it would take hours in farm prep / searching for mold just to get the nanites for a few upgrades.

HG seems to really be pushing the idea of having to achieve everything via Destiny Engra---err, I mean memory fragments, which is fine. It isn't inherently a bad system, even a nice change of pace. A little bit of RNG can be fun. However, since all your rewards are the same tier as whatever the community has unlocked, I have 0 motivation to unlock any more memory fragments right now. B class upgrades are really meh, and playing with such a weak character that I have no straightforward way of making stronger just feels bad.

I don't have so much free time that I want to grind abandoned freighters / animals / deposits for event currency / progress, so I'm putting the game down for a week or so until they're at A or even maybe S. So the game is actively encouraging players such as myself to...not play the game?

I dunno, just seems like terrible design. Tying player power almost completely to community event progress seems like a really, really silly idea. Maybe some kinda split system where you had a personal progress bar that impacted results as well would have been better.

Out of the loop - could someone please TLDR what is expedition 7 and permadeath? [Question]

Haven't played the game in over a year, and it seems like there is a lot of new stuff in. But i'm completely lost, and wiki/google is not helping. So i'll appreciate if someone TL;DR the new things for me or point to a relevant FAQ.

What are the expeditions? It does not sound like the missions you used to send your frigates to. Do they even apply to offline/single player gaming? What do you get for completing them?

What is permadeath? There is not even a wiki article about it. How does it work, and if it is exactly what the name implies, why would you want to play it?

[Angry Rant] Sentinels ruin the early game experience [Suggestion]

I got to my second planet, which turns out to be "High Sentinal Activity." I'm trying to build my first base, refuel my ship (it's bullshit how our inventory size is so small and how taking off depletes 50% of our fuel, but that's another story). But as I try and mine for things, sentinels literally pop out of the ground and track me. I run away for a minute, but they both follow you everywhere AND pop out of the crack ass of the ground and find you. It's not fun, love the exploration concept of this game so far but this makes me not even want to play anymore. My free time is limited so I will not dedicate hours just to getting around these guys.

Twitch Drops for GOG players [Discussion]

Hello fellow Travellers. Hope you're all having a wonderful week!

I've noticed a few of my fellow GOG'ers have been able to access twitch drops due to an apparent glitch due to the servers being down, but this has prompted me to try and start a discussion here on this.

I know the GOG crowd is disproportionately small compared to steam and console, but we are still a part of the community and it kinda sucks to be left out of this sort of thing.

I, personally, love to collect as many collectibles and stuff as I can for games. It's fun! But only when I'm not excluded from it due to my platform of choice. I'm already going to buy NMS again on the Switch when it is released. I shouldn't have to spend another $80 (Australian Dollars) on it on Steam so I can participate in something everyone else on other platforms already has.

HG, if you are currently working on this, thank you, and keep at it. If not, I'm sure there is a valid reason, but I, and I'm sure others, would like to know why it isn't currently feasible if this is the case.

I know this might seem petty to some of you, but it really does suck for those of us who enjoy collecting as many collectibles and stuff as we can. I know this has been posted a few times before, but it's never gotten much recognition. My fellow GOG Travellers, and even non-GOG'ers, please, if you want this to happen, comment below. I want to know how many of you feel the same way.

I die before activating the milestones, and I'm back to 1.1 of phase 1, except now Polo is bugged and won't advance the quest to let me get a solar ray. Super frustrating to possibly have to restart a save file after accomplishing so much, losing it to a cheap "gotcha" by the devs, and then immediately punished with a bug even though this is all supposed to be about maintaining the memories or whatever. It gives me real strong "I'm still a beta tester 6 years later" vibes

120 salvaged frigate modules appeared in my inventory? [Question]

Exactly what the title says, I was afk in the anomaly and I come back to see them in my inventory. I didn’t even know they were a thing as I only have 9 hours on my save. But I wanted to know if anyone could give an explanation because I have 8.7 million worth of them.

Does anyone have any extra salvaged frigate modules ? [Question]

I don’t mean to be a beggar, but lawd hamercy these things are just so hard to get. I really need my freighter fully upgraded so I can relax and system jump while I focus on other things. I’m going broke doing derelict freighter runs only to get 0. Idk what is up with the drop chance but if anyone had some extra I would appreciate you dearly!

I am having my doubts Expedition Seven can be completed. [Question]

I have over 23 hours into the expedition. This is my third attempt, but all I run into are problems and setbacks. The game froze on me at one point, and I thought this was it again. Fortunately, the game did not count it as a death.

The discovery services are offline. This reoccurring problem needs to be fixed by HG. This means every player base and marker does not show up. As a result, I am entirely on my own, no planets have been discovered, and I will lose any credit for discoveries that other travels may already recorded.

I am trying to find the second fallen traveler. It is in very steep mountains, so I have to be careful not to fall, but I have to use the jetpack to get anywhere. Others have said never to use it in Permadeath. So I decided to try doing short jumps in my starship to get to it. Even this is hard because there are so few places I can land. When I can land, the direction and distance change dramatically. I have markers down that confirm it changes. This may be related to the discovery services being offline. I have been trying to get to the spot for over an hour and have not even come close to it.

Another challenge is I cannot find a multitool better than a C class. Without a better multitool, there is no way I will take on a derelict freighter or sentinels. All I hear is how hard they are in this mode. So without a better multitool than the default, I am not even going to try.

I am stubborn, so I wanted to complete this expedition. However, it is only making me hate the game. It will most likely take 40+ hours to finish at the rate I am going. All I do is worry about dying again, which for me is not fun. Even using the jet pack concerns me.

I realize others have completed it already, so I have no idea why I keep having issues. However, I am close to uninstalling the game and finding something better to do. I can see it...

I just started playing [Question]

Im currently at etaean-nohaav xvi in no mans sky, is this where everyone starts at or is there random spawns for everybody? if so i absolutely hate where i am lol and would love nothing more than to leave and discover better areas but seems to have an issue with getting/making anti-matter and finding a space station at that. I keep seeing that i need to build a base, but feel that the three planets i keep hopping back and forth too are not suitable for living conditions. Should i say fuck it to get that quest out of the way or is there something i’m missing that’s slowing me down with this whole exploration process. Also saw that there are space stations in every galaxy but not one where i am? I probably sound stupid, but i don’t see myself really progressing in the game with the situation i’m in. is there something i should be focusing on more than other things or what? i’m just lost i guess

Base building question regarding # of pieces allowed to be placed [Question]

I have been making my first serious base. I have gone fairly big on it and I am no where near as done as I wanted but I am getting a error saying “base not uploadable (3094/3000)”

I am a bit surprised I have placed 3000 pieces so far in this base but maybe I have? It is a rather large base. I am a bit sad that I can’t upload it now. Especially since it’s not done. But what I am wondering is if I continue to bills how will this affect me as I explore and play further? Will it limit me in any way?

Also what are the actual build limits? Is it 16000 total pieces across all saves? Or is that per save?

It would have been cool to upload it so others could visit but oh well I guess.

A problem with expedition [Question]

Grah fellow interlopers, I'm stumbled with a problem during this expedition. No 3 of 2nd part of journey says to start a base in "infected" (translated from my language) planet. It also guides me to some planets, giving a direct name when I'm in the system. So I started a base on this exact planet, but nothing changed, it still says "start a base on planet "X". I also tried toxic and radioactive planets as I supposed an "infection" with toxins and radio. What am I missing? Maybe I have to find a planet that has "infected" in its description?

Are you new player looking for some tips to get you started? Are you a veteran player with some advice you want to pass along? Looking for a good way to earn units, nanites or just how to get the most out of the game? Check out our new FAQ thread!

Here's some of the FAQ suggestions we received in our previous FAQ thread. Keep in mind that these are opinions from some of our valued OP's and you may agree or disagree with some of these. We just ask that everyone remains respectful when replying to this thread and we look forward to your contribution! NMSTG Mod Team

You can also drop a quick tip!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Hint for a new start [Suggestion]

Hello there!

I'd bought NMS on day one for PS4. Played and bored. Left after few months.

I've bought it for PC the last year and I was very surprised by the enormous progress of this game.

I've about 60 hours of gameplay, a good ship a good equipment, I've a new base, I've discovered the center of the galaxy and I've all the Glyph.

From September to yesterday I haven't the opportunity to turn on the PC. Just yesterday I got it back up and tried to play. I find myself in great difficulty because I don't remember the keys, I don't remember what to do, I don't remember how to load the various equipment, in short, it is as if I had never played.

What do you think you advise me to do? Do I proceed with the game or do I create a new one?

Playing with kids [Question]

Hello there,

I just bought the game to try it, and I am wondering if it would be a good game for cooperative play with my kids. They just got a gaming pc and I am looking for cooperative multiplayer games. I am sure at least my son will love the theme of the game. So I have a few questions: is the game okay for a 10 year old ? Isn't it to complicated ? The goal would be to play together in the same room, so I could help him. I understand multiplayer is still fairly new to the game. Is it good ? Is it OK to start the adventure straight into multi or is it better to start alone and then switch to multiplayer ? I have no idea how the game implements multi. Can you ignore some part of the game if you don't like every aspect of it. For example, can you explore while skipping other parts of the game ?

Deep thanks for you answers.

Lo and behold as I’m examining my outer walls and all of a sudden parts of my building are buried.

How can I "start again" without starting again? Like re learning the ropes?

My next question is if I wanted my two mates to play, how would they join? Is it like Minecraft where they join my base with no tutorial? Or would they get slapped on my planet to do the tutorial?

Or is it just a bad time for new players to jump right into MP? They are base builders and I'm very much exploration..

How do you usually get your ships? By buying them from NPCs or finding them in the middle of nowhere? [Question]

NMS is one of these games where I have an utmost urge to not cheese my way through, though it's not always possible (looking at you, free freighter). I somehow got a feeling like buying a super duper ship from NPC kind of ruins the part of exploration and finding your next ship in a sorry state just to restore it back to its full potential.

So, I wonder how do you guys prefer getting your ships? I'll admit - in my current playthrouh I might have bought 2 or 3 ships, but solely because in my current sector there's almost no crash sites where I can get at least average quality ship - it's usually few variations of ugly-looking hauler with curled wings, or these puny shuttles with no wings at all.

Expedition 7 - I like it, but i don't get it [Discussion]

I think we've had our fill of detailed critiques of this expedition. So here's a bitesize of what did it for me:

Permadeath - A real game changer. I got so much more invested. Challenges were appropriately set to capitalise on this, i like the thinking. But a bit of a risky decision to make with all the life-ending bugs.

Narrative - Obscure and cryptic, like a lot of things in NMS. But not sure how the loops and the leviathan are linked. It felt like I was playing along two separate plot lines for much of the expedition. Finished with more questions than answers.

Optional Goal - Somnal Dust, great fun. Ancestral memories... eh. Liquid sun... urgh.

Rogue mechanic - Pretty interesting. Adds a 'use what you've got' element. It took me way out of my comfort zone and away from equipment i'd usually use. I learned a lot, great idea! Also, not surprising to see how much salt this has stirred up.

All in all i really liked it. Really felt like i achieved something when many are agreeing in how difficult it is. I just felt the story could have used a bit more to tie it all together.

Big thanks HG!

NMS wishlist: I love the game, all the dev & expansions, but there’s always somethings left to be desired! [Suggestion]

-Modifiable ships, but he ship has base style. example: explorer, fighter, hauler, solar, etc.

-Starship parts are earned, or found just like base building parts are earned, or found.

-Slight chance to be able to tow a downed ship, after out of combat engagement, tow the ship to claim the ship/parts @ a space station.

-Hauling starships have an accessible hull, small quarters for in flight breaks (experiential)

-Actually able to lay down on beds and get “rest” (experiential)

-Windmills for power gen on windy planets. Connect to batteries just like solar.

-Seismic charges to harvest large amount of recourses from asteroid fields, like geo canon but more of a “bomb” discharged from star ship.

-Dispatch Frigates to harvest asteroid fields.

-Land on & harvest areas of exceptionally large asteroids.

-Low orbit tactical diving (think BASE jumping, not looking like flailing or falling, a lot like how it looks when you jet pack under water) when jumping from a low orbit platform you’ve landed on.

I've spent ~6 hours in this expedition and all I've got to show for it is a softlocked expedition save slot and some new stress acne. Why the FUCK was this questline launched in this state? Anyone who has played permadeath knows how FUN and REWARDING random, glitchy deaths are, right? So let's make a whole featured expedition to show off EXACTLY how FULFILLING and SATISFYING the permadeath experience can be! What's that? You're still having a quantum of fun? Well fuck me we can't have that in No Man's Sky, getter bug out Polo in step 4 of this quest line so we softlock your progress based on whether or not this little frog fuck wants to say the right line and give you the correct dialog option. Gimme my 6 hours back you jackoffs

Spikes in GPU latency make the game unplayable [Question]

I've never really had problems with the performance of the game until I upgraded my PC about a year ago. Before I upgraded I had a ROG Strix GeForce GTX 1070. The game was running smoothly. Then I upgraded to my new rig which consists of:

CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 3700X

GPU: MSI GeForce RTX 3080 SUPRIM X

RAM: 32GB @ 3466 MHz

So I have more than enough to run any game. However, since I upgraded I haven't played NMS much which is mostly because it has become unplayable. I don't remember if it changed right when I got the card or a bit after. Idk if it has anything to do with it at all and tbh I don't believe so. Every other game I play runs completely fine with no problems. It is just NMS that has this issue. I made a video and uploaded it to YouTube with a performance overlay that shows this in a better way.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kwJOWNfWQL

​

You can see that my GPU and CPU usage are more than fine. My RAM also isn't even close to full. I also checked the individual CPU cores but none of them are overloaded or anything. The highest one gets to like 70-75% usage. Every time the Frametime spikes you can see the GPU and CPU usage dropping. The game was running in 4K High Graphics settings with regular FAA. I tried V-Sync on and off and limited frames on and off. Nothing worked. If I put the game down to 1080p or even lower with Low Graphics settings nothing changes. I uninstalled the game and reinstalled it and nothing changed. I deleted all config files and let the game make them newly and still the same. I tried asking google so many times but always the same things that I have already tried. Limiting the CPU cores or threads the game uses also did nothing. I have no idea what to do at this point. I love the game and want to be able to play it again but nothing seems to work. If anyone here knows...

What's the "game loop" like once you get settled? What do you like to do with friends? [Question]

Just got the game yesterday. Played 2 hours solo then started a new game with 2 friends for another 2 hours. Coincidentally I have 2 sets of 2 questions!

Right now we're getting our bearings and doing the intro quest. We landed on a new planet and will have a base going ASAP. So once we do that...

1.1. What's the "game loop" like? We played Valheim together and the loop was: go sailing, find resources, bring back home, build up base. Is it the same in NMS? Does the later game revolve around building up your base, or something else?

1.2. For multiplayer, are these activities you usually do together? Or is it more of a "split up and stock up" situation?

That leads me to my other multiplayer questions:

2.1. I had no issues staying alive solo, but splitting life resources 3 ways with finite materials proved to be an issue with us almost dying a few times. Any tips for avoiding that? We know about healing gel/suit recharging things you can make

2.2. I saw you could take characters between games. Do you advise us to play some single player to stock up on mats or is it a non-issue? I'm worried about scarcity of elements as well as the black market upgrades when we're out doing quests

Thank you! Looking forward to playing more

Nexus save edited gifts dump etiquette? [Suggestion]

Just a general moan really. My in game name is Luna and I really don't want my inventory filled with expensive items that were save edited into the game. If someone wants to gift me something they worked on legitimately then great! Happy to receive that!

Recently, several times had time wasted by my inventory being rammed with someone's fusion igniters that I had to press and hold delete on every stack to get rid of - it's not the first time and it always happens after doing stuff so I didn't want to reload to solve it. I don't want to turn multiplayer off and there doesn't seem to be a way to block items being dumped on me in this fashion.

I please request people stop giving piles of save edited stuff unless it's requested! It's not appreciated by anyone trying to play without cheating!

Xeno Colony Planet Chromatic Aberration. [Question]

New to the game and I started it in VR as I'm finally able to do it on the high end of things. Haven't figured out how to take proper screenshots and stuff with it yet in game or on the desktop. I had to google to figure out what was going on at first as I thought the textures were broken or the VR was messing with the textures but I guess not lol However is there anything I should know about this Planet type by chance? I've explored around 10 solar system but when I found a pirate one that wasn't discovered I wanted to discover everything and found this. So far everything I can tell about it is widely different than anything else I've seen. I found a enclosed valley that has land in it and is also surround by deep enough water to have aquatic life which is cool. Its very deep into the planet as well which looks cool from inside I just kinda wish it didn't look so weird which is also funny because when it storms the planet almost looks "normal" but goes back to the Chromatic Aberration look afterwards.

TLDR- is there anything unique about these that the WIKI might not provide that I may want to use to my advantage.

To Offset the Naysayers [Discussion]

I've been playing NMS for awhile now but have never played permadeath. I have to say that I'm actually enjoying it! Yes I died for a bunch of careless reasons, like falling from a self induced height and running out of jetpack juice, or stepping on some hazardous flora that I could have easily walked around, if only only I had checked my visor. And yes, I had to do everything all over again from scratch. One time, pirates attacked from out of nowhere while I was on foot! If this hasn't happened to you, trust me, you don't stand a chance. Get underground!

While my normal save has become a zen escape for me, even after 1000 hours of play, I realize that Ive been missing the thrill that this permadeath expedition has provided. With every phase the stakes get higher and my blood pressure rises. But the farther I get each time, the more I learn, and don't make the same mistakes, and make myself more powerful with upgrades and mods, until dying actually becomes difficult, like in my normal save.

Its only 6 weeks long. Why is everyone complaining?

You know how this game works and if there's something you didnt earn by the end of the expedition, some player can, and will, gift it to you.

So suck it up and get permadeathing! And please stop bitching so much.

And thank you HG for all the work you put into this game.

Expedition 7 Help/Leftover Supplies [Discussion]

Sorry if this is in the wrong place. This expedition was the first I cared to complete and finished yesterday. Definitely a bit of a challenge since I’ve had the game since a few days or so after the games release and I’ve been using the same save since then.

That being said this was the first time I played on permadeath but toughed it out (died maybe 3 or 4 times) so I understand the frustration of playing this expedition.

So now the point of this….if anyone needs a little help or just some of my extra supplies or base locations, I’d be glad to help.

Issues with “A Trace of Metal” quest [Bug]

Apologies for redundancy, but no solution I’ve seen here has worked for me.

Issue: Settlement is under attack, and to my understanding I should fight the sentinels until a walker comes, which will drop the item that allows me to progress. After destroying the first wave of sentinels, the quest claims there is one left but none will spawn. This is consistent even after trying: Playing offline Going through a black hole/center of a galaxy and resetting the quest (never got the option to reset) Running away from the settlement to spawn more sentinels (this allows the sentinels to escalate to walkers, but they don’t drop the item) Deactivating sentinels at a sentinel pillar

It’s getting a little annoying getting attacked every single time I go to my settlement, and I can’t seem to get a solid answer. This has persisted through both the expedition 7 patch as well as today’s small one. I welcome any advice!

It falls from the sky against the users wishes, wherever, nearby, if you have a summoning station or a local summon in the system or on the planet. It decided to land... right in the mould containment fence I'd made. Ugh.

TIL something cool about Leviathan… [Information]

Normally whatever frigate you choose to command a frigate mission must be “debriefed” at the end of the mission.>! If you select the Leviathan to be a frigate commander, at the end of the mission you must accept a “mind dump” from it instead.!<

Making Expedition 7 my main file? [Discussion]

So after putting about 14 hours into expedition 7 and completing it I'm thinking of just starting the game from here. To preface, I have never gotten very far into no man's sky and finally decided to give it a real fair shake and im enjoying it. With this file I have a free freighter, minotaur, exocraft, and a fair amount of good upgrades on everything including those inventory boosts you get throughout the journey. My thought is that this would save a lot of the early game grinding if I move forward with it.. Would I be missing out on anything noteworthy by doing this?

Survival VS Normal [Question]

Ok So I have just Completed Expedition 7 and I got a Few Questions.

1)Do you think my expedition save will convert to a survival or normal save?

  1. Is there any benefit to running survival over normal or is it that everything cost more and you have less storage?

3)are the spawn rates the same or less for S Class Ships in survival?

I am asking because survival feels more challenging and more rewarding, so I was possibly thinking of playing it more then normal mode.

If this has-been answered my apologies but would like everyones thoughts.

The Leviathan Frigate [Question]

So I have just completed the Expedition and got my whale.

So unfortunately it's not a ship you can go inside or can you, but it seams to have stats like any other frigate? I wander if it will get some king of story update down the line.

Obviously it is an S class what ever that means.

Anyone have thoughts on this?

Are high flying creature rideable now? [Question]

I just got back into NMS after a couple years and everything I've read online has said you cant ride the high flying creatures. I just saw this on YouTube and it definitely looks like they're riding a high flying creature. Is this Event related? because I also saw them riding a Biological Horror as well which I'm pretty sure you can't do.

Frigate fly-bys, Living Frigates.. the Normandy looking super sexy in our fleet.. maybe the fly-bys are a glimpse of the future.. maybe one day other players can see us flying by a planet scanning or destroying pirates.

I guess someone out there thinks they're pretty funny. [Expedition spoilers!] [Information]

So I just finished expedition 7 and when I spawned back into the game after going out and meeting the whale I spawned into a doorless building. Tried tunneling out because there's no floor but it's not my base so I don't have edit permissions.

It's not a huge deal to me personally because I have a main save and won't go back to this one. Althoufh I could contribute to the community research, I think. But yea, anyone who wanted to keep using this save is screwed because of this.

Help ! I can't find my base computer archives [Bug]

I must locate my base computer archives to get new constructions, but it said it's in another system. It doesn't appear in base teleporters. When I build a new computer, I got no option (only erase the base or use screenshot)...

My wife has the same problem. She's in her base planet and base computer is "in another system" but nothing is shown at all, nothing in discoveries, nothing in teleporters. Like me, she built new bases but basically get no access to computer archives...

It seems that computer base archives don't exist anymore for both of us. I searched on the Internet but can't find any solution as there's not a single icon or something to show me any location.

A Goal Driven End-game [Discussion]

As the new update for Minecraft comes closer, it got me thinking about the difference between the two open-world, survival and resource gathering endgames of Minecraft and No Man's Sky.

For Minecraft, the endgame is creativity. After beating the Enderdragon, what is left of your world except to be creative with it. 90% of Mojang's recent updates focus on giving you new materials and means to use to create something else. With Minecraft, you cannot really have the goal to be creative. You can set goals that will help you express your creativity, but goals are not what is driving Minecrafts endgame.

But for No Man's Sky, goals are what drive the end-game. Even though it can be said that that the end-game starts the moment you fly into space with your ship the first time, you still set out with a goal in mind, whether it is following a questline, or documenting everything you come across, or assembling the perfect fleet of ships, everyone sets out with a goal in mind. This is not to say there is no pure creativity as I have seen the amazing planetary and freighter bases people make and music made, but these activities are only a small fraction of the whole game experience.

What I'd like to see in further updates to NMS are grander goals to pursue. What if you could lead colonization efforts to empty systems or manage a trade company that grows as you recruit freighters.

Let my goals be Galaxy Spanning.

Best items to stockpile for someone who just died on iteration 4? [Question]

I finished the expedition yesterday and decided to help my friends out with essentials like resources and upgrades. I tried helping one of them with the sentinel milestone by just going to war with them next to his base (I was able to solo them with my Minotaur walking around so I figured it would be just as easy the second time). Unfortunately, they were swarming and he got overwhelmed by the big walker, so now I feel terrible since it’s pretty much my fault

I wanted to stockpile a bunch of good resources to pass to him to try to make up for it. Any suggestions would be appreciated 🙏🏼

noob's thoughts on the new expedition (no spoilers) [Discussion]

Tldr: wanted to share my new found joy for no man's sky

I've been playing no man's sky on and off this year. I originally played during release and at the time liked the game for what it was. I came back to the game after a long hiatus to explore all the updates. Tbh it was a bit overwhelming and I actually didn't know what to do because of how much there was now.

Yesterday I decided to give the expedition a try and I've never enjoyed the game as much as I did yesterday. I know the expedition is kinda sped up due to the items you get as rewards, but it really helped me figure out things to do and work towards in my main save. I don't think I played NMS for that long in one sitting.

I used to play this game a lot and had made a lot of progress in my save, I had top tier gear, ships and a nice freighter. I had taken a break from the game around 2020 and decided to start the game up again yesterday. When I loaded in I had nothing, my save had completely disappeared.

I play the game on ps4, I have checked system storage on online storage and found nothing, I know i'm on the right gamemode because I only ever played on Normal mode, I tried restarting the game and console to find nothing. So now I am stuck with a new save with nothing that had worked for previously, i've lost my bases, my supplies, my quicksilver everything.

Could anyone advise me on how I might be able to fix this problem and if i'm stuck with this save now then i'd like to ask if someone could donate a stack of starship ai valves, so I can at least boost my progress so I can eventually get back to where I was before.

No Man's Sky Concept- Dungeons - procedurally generated underground structures that can be explored and salvaged. [Suggestion]

Large procedurally generated, underground structures that is akin to a derelict freighter in space.

Use a device that scans for structures

Locate structure

Find a small to medium sized house or shack that leads underground

Find terminal

Give used scanner to terminal

Dungeon is procedurally generated behind locked door, same as derelict freighter

These structures/dungeons are WAY bigger than any other structure we have seen

Loot chests, find treasures, discover the story behind the dungeon

Fight Sentinels, Fauna, Terrors and NPCs

New Multi-Tool weapons such as: Missile launcher, incinerator (flamethrower), Bayonet (increase melee damage), Smoke launcher( fire grenades that release smoke)

A crouch animation for those tight spaces (or give us a morphball like Metroid)

The Perpendicular Decent: A tragedy [Meme]

There was one a young traveler roaming the stars in Permadeath mode. He hopped into his space ship and went to take off for his Indium mine. While in transit, he suddenly got the inclination he might have forgotten something. However paying little attention to it, he continued towards his destination, unaware of his impending doom. Upon entering the atmosphere of the planet which housed his Indium mine, he suddenly ran out of fuel and suffered a catastrophic engine failure. The brave soul attempted to keep a controlled vector even though his craft was now plummeting towards its ultimate demise. Feeling his ship was lost, the Traveler leaped from his craft and using slow controlled bursts from his pack safely landed in front of his mine. While approaching the front of his mine, he happened to look up towards the maroon sky and see a familiar object hurdling towards him. It was his Hauler. He started to run frantically towards his Mine, however he made a slight miscalculation as to the trajectory of the Hauler and ended up being crushed right in front of the main structure of the Mine.

NMS and long term save stability: How long is too long? [Question]

Hello fellow Travellers.

I have a normal save with 157 hours sunk into it, and I've done pretty much everything in the save. As it stands, the save file size is 1.19 MB.

Over the past few updates, I've noticed several minor bugs, the main one being issued with hotkey bindings, wherein summoning the Anomaly or my freighter fleet almost always crashes the game when done with hotkeys, but not with manual call.

I wanted to know what you guys think is too much of time for a save, and if there's absolutely no issues of this kind with NMS. Hats off to the devs, for optimising their saves so much. My fallout 4 save sits at around 26 MB.

Need to Add to build options [Suggestion]

I've seen a lot of posts about what HG should add to NMS and they all look and sound fantastic. One thing I've never seen that I've wanted since I started playing the game was the ability to build those pod shelters you see scattered around on some planets.

I feel that this type of minimalistic base building would be better matched to those of us who play the game to explore. As explorers we don't want to build homesteads. But at the same time, having the ability to build a quick research center and habitation unit would be awesome.

I'm not saying we should replace the current base build system, but this is something that should definitely be added in my opinion.

How do save games work in NMS? [Question]

I have a couple of questions about this game. First my friend invited me to a multiplayer game he started. We played for a while and both logged off for the night. I get on the game the next day and notice I have a save file for the game I was playing with him. What happens if I log into it and work on my base in his save game? Say I add a few structures and log off. When he logs in does he see my structures I built? Are our saves connected or independent of each other?

Does it matter if I start a save game in single player or multiplayer? Say I started a playthrough on single player. Can I still invite my friends to play with me? It's this game connected to the whole player base? Sorry if this sounds stupid but is this game one whole instance? How does it work?

Sorry for the wall of questions. I've been enjoying the game but couldn't find answers on the Internet on how exactly this works. Thanks all.

FIX THE DERELICT FREIGHTERS [Bug]

Seems like at times derelict freighters are fine and no issues, working as advertised.

Other times they are boned for hours or the day.

Issues:

-I step onto the freighter and my feet are below the floor and when I come to a door I can't jump over the door frame. Stuck in the room.

-I get to the last teleporter and unable to get on it. It is like it is block by an unseen wall.

-Teleport and exit the ship. On leaving the teleporter I get stuck in the graphics and unable to nothing but reload my save and start all over.

-Shooting enemies seem to behind invisible barrier of some sort and they can't shoot me either.

Possible fix is to enable jumping and or use of jetpack.

I have reloaded my saved game and even restarted NMS game and still have issues.

Activated Indium Planet [Question]

Hey all,

So I've set up a mining operation on an Active Indium Planet, I had found a hot spot, built 4 electromagnetic generators that ran, connected them to batteries, connected those to more batteries due to distance, then connected them to my extractors. It was at first 4 extractors and 2 supply tanks. I kept getting red power lines so I gave up and built solar panels and batteries by my extractors. I have overtime built a lot more extractors, supply tanks, solar panels and batteries expanding it, and everything was fine.

I then had an a ha moment on why my electromagnetic generators weren't working, so went back, built 20 of them, connected them to batteries, to more batteries due to distance, then to my main system.

The thing is, it seems that sometimes the system just goes down, all lines red. Dunno why. When I had jus5 the solar panels hooked up, it was all running fine, then I hooked up the electromagnetic generators and this started happening again.

Is it maybe the storms? They didn't effect the solar panels with batteries before.

It's a dusty Planet, but some storms do have lightning.
