unscanned object scanner? [Suggestion]

I wonder, if they ever implement a feature that allows us to get a direction of where the closest unscanned item is. (For 100% scanning purposes)

Id love to finally complete a whole galaxy instead of leaving galaxies on 98% cause i cant find the last...

Like a needle in a haystack

Destination Paradise [Screenshot]

This sub has been a great resource for me so sharing the latest paradise planet seemed appropriate. Glyph address in the photo below. I don't how else to tell someone how to get to a particular planet of spot on a planet.

It's got runaway mold to farm, a good amount of floating crystals along with great weather and scenery, no predators and sentinals only show up when you crack open seed pods for the albumen pearls inside. I've been piling up nanites after I heard you can convert runaway mold to nanites.

Random player encounter in the middle of nowhere [Discussion]

So while i was randomly flying around in the Euclid galaxy i had another player appear in the system i was exploring. Quite the coincidence i'd say given that it was nowhere near the core or related to any Nexus mission. We explored the system together and build two bases. I've read somewhere that such an random encounter of two players is astronomically slim. Is that true? Did anybody else have such a random encounter with another player in the middle of nowhere?

Farming [Question]

My farm's growing time has been replaced with an "infinite" symbol. Did they take away the ability to grow farms?

#

Where do I place galactic trade terminals in my freighter? [Question]

I placed two next to each other on the wall and if I buy all the oxygen from one of them, the other one had all it used up, does this change if I move them farther apart, and if not then does it work on planet bases? I saw a bit of someone’s base on a video and they had tons of trade terminals but it seems like they’re connected

(New player here) Space Combat got easier over time, or its just my impression? [Question]

When i didn't had the hardware to run NMS, i used to watch gameplay videos of it since its launch, and when the player get into some space fights was my favorite part.

I started to play NMS recently, and i still love dogfighting on it, but i remember seeing people needing to shoot ahead of the enemy ship to hit it, but now i just need to aim on it to hit.

Even after getting involved in many space battles already with pirates or sentinels ( I'm a little "troublemaker"), i still only needed to recharge my shields in one of them, even while using the Radiant Pillar or getting on like, level 4 or above of "wanted" by sentinels. (Currently, im using another ship who you need to claim in menu).

Anyway, its only me, or im getting cocky?

Bug with a trace of metal [Bug]

So, I have to bring and Undamaged Sentry Shell to Tethis at the Anomaly. Thing is, I don't have that item in my inventory and my settlement is under attack EVERY SINGLE TIME I go there. Even taking care of the sentinels does not drop the item. Does anyone have a solution? The sentinel attacks are becoming really annoying.

Thanks!

No Man's Sky Kuiper [Suggestion]

The Kuiper Update - A strong focus on overhauling the Asteroids, Meteors and adding Comets.

This update would remove most of the Asteroids cluttering each system and focus them in a collected area. Some systems may have them in a ring away from planets and space stations other systems could have them in odd orientations such as a sphere as if it were trying to form a planet or clumped together orbiting a particular body. These asteroids can still be found in every system and can be weirder and weirder.

Asteroids - Asteroids will double in size, the larger asteroids will allow ships to land and bases to be built for mineral harvesting. Harvesting on an asteroid would be more efficient then harvesting on a planet. No atmosphere means no fauna or flora, sentinels may or may not be present. Asteroids will provide more resources then they do now.

Meteors - Meteors will still rain on some planets however, will now have a chance to spawn a source of higher end minerals and perhaps even minerals only found in space. These events would be rare and need to be tracked in order to obtain their valuable resources, only extractable via exocraft or mineral harvesters.

Comets - Comets are added to the game and provide the player with unique event opportunities. These Icy behemoths would provide the player with rare resources that can be used in crafting or trading for large sums of units, nanites or a small amount of quicksilver depending on the event. Comets will become increasingly more dangerous the longer players remained on the surface. Jagged surfaces, Rocky Terrain, Gas fissures, Ice Storms, Solar Storms and Extreme Radiation are some examples of this hazardous terrain. Chance of tech damage increases the more it's used while on a Comet. Exocrafts will not be usable on Comets except maybe the Minotaur (play testing would be required for balance). The players Exosuit will give viable...

My expedition tips [Information]

I’ve died innumerable times in the expedition, and I’ve yet to complete it. However, I’ve gathered a few tips along the way which I wish I’d known at the start. Perhaps they’ll help other travellers!

The fourth anchor point planet is absolutely lethal, thanks to a combination of brutal climate, very difficult terrain, and hostile sentinels. Stay in the Minotaur as much as possible and under no circumstances leave it during a storm. Beware the huge valleys, which can only be escaped by summoning your ship. Do not linger on this planet to look for storm crystals. Go somewhere else for those. As with sentinel columns and whispering eggs, your best bet is to look for bases that other people have built near them.

The missions to shut down sentinels and steal whispering eggs are much easier if you have the Minotaur under AI control and armed with its cannon. It’s especially good at picking off the biological horrors.

If you don’t get those Minotaur upgrades from memories you will have to research them yourself, and that will cost a lot of nanites. Nanites are also very useful in getting additional equipment to help you survive.

MOST IMPORTANT TIP 1: you can sell unwanted upgrades, including those from memories, in space stations. Just go to one of the technology merchants, select “purchase upgrade modules”, and hit the “sell” button just like at the trading terminal. You can make a lot of nanites this way by selling useless or replicated upgrades.

MOST IMPORTANT TIP 2: your discoveries persist between runs. If you discovered all the creatures on a planet in a previous run, you can claim the bonus nanites again without even having to go there. Just go through all the planets in your discoveries page and check which ones have all the creatures discovered. It follows that earning nanites by discovering creatures is a very efficient use of time if you’re prone...

Can we get vehicles that can hold multiple players? [Suggestion]

Imagine how amazing it would be to ride around space with friends? Or to have to move about the ship to access turrets or other components.

I was playing sea of thieves the other day and this is something that game really gets right. It makes it a bit more fun to play with friends. No mans sky has so much more to see and do though. I'm blown away by all the procedurally generated plants and animals and the insanely deep base building and upgrade systems.

#

Anyone else having problems with custom names disappearing? [Bug]

I've gotten into No Man's Sky recently after 5 or so years of being mia. I think it's absolutely fantastic the amount of new stuff that has been added and it's been incredible to discover. One thing though is that all of the discoveries I name have been losing the names I give them after a day irl. I wake up and all of the planets, systems and plants and animals I spent naming revert to their default names and I cant rename them since it was uploaded. I'm connected to Online Discovery Services and was also connected at the time I was naming everything. I was wondering if anyone else has had this problem and if anyone might have a fix.

transferring items between saves [Question]

Hi, kind of new to the game and was checking out the new expedition. Got a task done that gave me 4 items that sell for almost 7 mil units and wanted to see if I could transfer them to my other save character who is on the free explore mode. I see you can transfer items by giving it to a 3rd party who gives it to your other save but saw someone talking about how you can't play with people of different difficulties, so I wanted to confirm before trying.

TLDR: Is there a way to transfer items from one character (Doing the expedition) to another character (On regular mode)?

Thanks in advance for your responses!

Is there a way to angle walls? [Question]

Trying to place a wall at a 45 degree angle from my door. Basically trying to do something like this __/ I thought it was possible but I might be thinking of Grounded. Anyways, I tried placing triangle floors so the wall could snap to that but they don't fit right. Is there a way to do that and make it snap?

Group bases greyed out? [Question]

Me and a friend are playing on Steam and we're able to get in a group easily and play. Unfortunately we're not able to freely enter each others' bases as the group bases option is greyed out and disabled for one of us (randomly him or me). I cannot figure out a way for both of us to be able to teleport to each others' bases

Exotic planet question [Question]

I’ve found quite a few exotic planets, but never one that has lush grass or the like. Do exotic planets with paradise planet like qualities exist?

#

Power Inverter [Question]

Am I the only one experiencing an issue where power inverters no longer work? All of my power inverters no longer function, including any new ones I place for testing. I assumed it was an issue with the 3.91 patch as everything worked before the update, but I still haven't seen anyone else post about this issue.

Expedition 7 is Broken more, now, after the patch! [Discussion]

So I've been going along expedition 7, Leviathan, and if you're doing the expedition as well, you know you have to learn 3 words from every language. Ok, cool, that's easy, talk to 3 ppl from each race. Space station, done. No no no no no. Please tell me why everybody I try to talk to already says visited, I've already learnt the words, on a new playthrough? And why, if they are visited already, don't I have the milestone? Seriously, I'm not sure what they "fixed" with this patch, but it certainly wasn't what they said, and now we have a whole host of new problems. I'll never understand why devs routinely ignore what the problems are and only "fix" menial crap with "duct tape", while breaking the game even more.

#

Expedition 7 [Discussion]

I just want to thank the devs for this. I played from the start and never had any reason to complain. Till now. Wasting several hours of my life because of a random hit from a plant is the perfect way to force me to uninstall this forever. Whoever tought a permadeath expedition is a good idea really hates the players. Thanks again.

NMS server status [Question]

Are the servers still down for NMS. On PS5 and the anomaly is empty. If it is, is there a way to check the server status?

All networking settings as they should be and tried a reload or two.

Help with Awakenings mission.. [Question]

My friend and I started playing No Man's Sky, and I had no problem getting through the awakenings mission. But he is at the part where he needs to warp between systems to find the anomalous signal, the signal just keeps getting farther and the route changes. He warped about 8 times before he realized that the route just keeps changing every time he warps. It still just says Mission Target is in another system.

Got stuck with Starbirth [Question]

I have 1x Fragile Neural Stem, 3x Mature Neural Stem, 1x Fragile Heart, 2x Mature Heart Node, 1x Fragile Shell, 2x Hardened Shell, 1x Growing Singularity, 1x Singularity Core, 1x Activated Void Egg (powerful anomalies & strange colours), 1x Stirring Void Egg (dust-covered world & extreme storms), 1x Awakened Void Egg (water world & lush and verdant plantlife), 1x Cracking Void Egg (planet of strange anomalies, one minute a world of grass, the next a world of bizarre fungal growths). The mission says "Await contact: I have fulfilled the request of the Void Egg, as best as I can unterstand it. I should await further contact from the egg, or those whom it calls". I watched a video about the mission, the guy had an egg with the description ending EUCLID etc... I don't have an egg like this, flying in the space for days, no contact, only those random thing like the space skull, big jelly, some space station thing in a meteor and things like this. Am I fucked up or I'm just doing something wrong?

#

Is the sentinel force supposed to be stronger? [Question]

Hi everyone! I'm pretty much brand new to this game as I only picked it up a few days ago. I've noticed that the sentinels are fairly weak in damage right now and can't really move too quickly. Is this a bug or will they get stronger as I progress? Or are they not really meant to be too difficult?

XBOX Series S keeps crashing [Question]

Recently I have gotten back into no mans sky. For starters, this game is incredible and I’ve logged 30 hours in like a week and a half. However, at first, game ran smoothly with no issues. It seems as I progress and build more the game can’t handle it and crashes when I get near my base. It crashes at other points too, but mostly just at my base. My friend, however, can’t even leave his ship without the game crashing despite him only playing like 2 hours if that. Does anybody have any causes or solutions? Thanks!

#

My ship disappeared? [Question]

I go to the exact spot where my compass claims my ship should be, but it’s not there. I try summoning it, but it says it’s too damaged to launch. I can’t do any repairs because I’m out of range, even though I’m less than 5u from where it should be. What can I do? Is my ship lost forever to some glitch? Please help.

indium storage things don't work send help [Question]

So I'm playing online with a buddy and he shows me these active Indium farms. Sounds good . So we get there and none of the storage processors work for me. He sees that there's indium available. But when i look at it they all say empty and not active. Iv been to 5 different bases in this solar system and none of them are working. They all work for my friend. But not for me.

How is this a thing? And how do i fix it? Please help.

Terrain edits resetting question [Question]

Hello, all!

I am a new player, and in other games I have always been a bit of a mole - I like to build my bases underground. I read recently that after a certain amount of time or edits, or even after updates your terrain edits will begin to revert. I also just yesterday discovered that if I place a prefab with part of it underground, it will clear out the terrain that would have been inside the prefab. When terrain edits reset, will the prefabs become filled with dirt or are they safe?

#

Where the hell is Ennect ? [Question]

I'm struggling to find the fallen traveler for the seventh part of Iteration One, I don't think it's supposed to be at later expedition waypoints, but having checked every system on the way to Anchor Point 2 and cross referencing the star chart to see the number of planets in my current system (as I went through them), I'm still at a loss.

I've been watching the Captain Steve playthrough and the location certainly looks like the same planet as Anchor Point 2 to me, but I can't get the Memory Resonator to do anything either.

What have I missed ?

Many thanks

Expedition reruns? [Question]

The title says it all. Got to play this game only now (sadly) and wondered if anyone knows if there's going to be any rerun of the expeditions like a few months ago. Know that it won't probably happen ever again but eehhh, who knows

Absolutely F**K Expedition 7 [Discussion]

Thank you all for the kind comments on my colorful living ship! However I’m new to them… [Question]

I’ve been done with Starbirth but never really cared to go out and find one. I’ve watched the tutorials and such and am currently farming, but anybody got advice?? Is there any bonuses anywhere?? I heard the starship trails can stack bonuses and the last one is the one that will show… along with figurines. It’s not much of a boost but in LS I feel every bit helps. Sucks only has 280 Damage (currently) and that I can’t put a combat or eco scanner in too… I know those are mechanical but it’d be nice to have some kinda bio version.

But yeah, any and all tips I can do to boost my stats please help!! Much love 💕

PS4 Minotaur Exocraft; No Working Weapons? [Information]

I'm playing on PS4 and I've just purchased upgrades for the Minotaur Suit. I can't seem to cycle through or even see any of the weapons I've installed. Pressing triangle and R2 does nothing either. Have I done something wrong or is it a bug? Is anyone else having the same problem?

Expedition 7 die hard tips [Information]

Ok people, first off if you do die you need to control your rage and stop lashing out at the game... It's a gene. The expedition is supposed to be hard! People have been goading HG that the game isn't challenging enough, and the survival players have been asking for this. If it really isn't your thing, just leave it alone.

Ok, next... Be Prepared!!! Weren't any of you all in the scouts ever!? It's like, the number one rule.

As a general rule in survival and PD, if you makes it off the planet, it's usually plain sailing. People dying late expedition... Probably anchor 4. But by then you should be pretty buff of you're installing the upgrades.

Here's some tips I felt were obvious but maybe not everyone knows:

Take it slow. Don't jet boost everywhere, and keep your eye on the meter you save enough jet for the landing.

Put a base at every anchor point! You can go back and teleport from any space station this way

Scanning things gives units. Units are easy to come by. You don't need a lot of units to buy ion batteries and life support gel, and you can carry a big stack! Never go anywhere without, and recharge often.

Don't do the 20 sentinel challenge in one go. Assassinate the lone guys, kill a few more, run!!! They deactivate really quick.

Similarly with the whispering eggs... But don't even think about attempting this one without three good shield upgrades. Don't hang around to fight them, just run and kill the ones that follow. Also, don't be fooled into thinking your minotaur mech has shields that protect you more. IT DOESN'T!

If it's really hard and you hate it, put the time into levelling up. Time wasted if you die... Sure. More likely to survive... Time not wasted when you make it.

I've got more tips but these ones are the common sense ones, and be honest, not everyone has been sticking to them, right?

Good luck, Loopers. You got this!

Learning the basics/mechanics? [Question]

I know it will be different for everyone's experience, but how long on average does it take to pick up the basic premise and mechanics of the game? Also does the early sections of the game act as a sort of tutorial , or is it a learn as you go learning curve? Thanks in advance for your feedback 👍

#

Taking the next step? [Question]

I’ve been playing NMS just for fun really good pass time but I have completed reaching center of galaxy and helping atlas… I’m not a noob I pretty much know all the basics, but now I want to become more advanced at the game as far as good ways to earn money/nanites. Getting S-class upgrades,starships etc and unlocking all the milestones. Basically I want to just see everything the game has to offer apart from the story line. Is there anything to do or start to get better at learning the “extras” of the game?

Anyone Else's Whale Gaining Stats? [Question]

This might be a bug, but my Whale on my main normal game is improving it's core values.

When purchased, it was at;

S Class Rank

Combat: 15

Exploration: 23

Industrial: 6

Trade: 22

447 Successful Encounters

11% Progress to next rank.

After 2 expeditions, it's now at the following;

S Class Rank

Combat: 16 (+1)

Exploration: 25 (+2)

Industrial: 8 (+1)

Trade: 23 (+1)

467 Successful Encounters (+20)

3% Progress to next rank. (-8%)

The Squidaped Oyt is now out for another expedition, the longest I could take, so I'll track if it gains more... but still, is this intentional, or a bug? Anyone else seen this?

So close but so far away..a rant [Discussion]

I've been playing the Expedition and taking my time so as not to die. Slow and steady wins the race I tell myself and cut to today and I'm on the final phase with four tasks left. One is the freighter (which I was dreading) so I decide to do that next (it was that or the do things for Polo mission). I'm there five minutes, get trapped behind some cannisters and get killed. I definitely screamed into a pillow so loud the dogs were worried. Thank you for listening, I just needed someone to hear my pain. Sigh....back to starting over. Thankfully I put down at least twelve bases so I could go back to them.

#

Leviathan Expedition Co-op? [Question]

So some friends and I were thinking of coming back to the game. None of us have ever played an expedition before, and we were wondering if it worked the same way as a normal save in terms of inviting friends to join you during your exploration. Could anyone shed some light on this for us before we decide to re-download the game or not? Thanks.

#

current expedition [Question]

Can we get everyone to start doing the optional milestone for each phase? It's a community mile so the more people put in the quicker it gets done. I've dumped probably 5k in each category but you know how the old saying goes, "it takes a village".

#

Performance Issues [Question]

I need some help with some performance issues I'm having. I've been playing the game for about 37 hours now, and whenever I'm on a planet (especially when I'm fighting sentinels) I experience large and random stutters. Sometimes they only last for a second or two, other times they can last a full sentinel wave. Trying to fight a wave of sentinels at 2 FPS is very difficult. I've not experienced the stutters anywhere else in-game, only on planets and moons.

It's really frustrating sometimes because I can more or less keep a solid 30 FPS in Star Citizen, so I don't know why my FPS issues are struggling with NMS.

My PC Specs are: GTX 1650S i3-8100 @ 3.6 GHz Z370P D3 mobo 24 GB DDR4

My NMS graphics options preset is set to Enhanced, with Anisotropic Filtering set to 2, GTAO set to Enhanced, Anti Aliasing set to TAA, and FidelityFX set to Off.

If someone could help me figure out how to fix this I would greatly appreciate it, thanks!

Just died on my final milestone of the entire expedition.. [Discussion]

So I just died from an aggressive creature while gathering my last 32 ancestral memories from creatures that I needed to craft my whale flute. I had completed every other single milestone & been extremely careful the entire expedition only for a creature to run up behind me & kill me in two shots & even though I had multiplayer off I didn't pause in-time. I spent around 15hours too!

Sooo close :( ohwell, at least I had a blast the whole time!!

I do wish at least phase/iteration completion carried over as I don't think I can bring myself to do all the milestones for every phase all over again, but if it just restarted me at the beginning of phase 5 again that would've been a nice way for it to work..

Sorry for the post, just needed to vent a little after that haha

#

Whoa!!! Why is everything so expensive? [Question]

So something I noticed while playing the expedition is that the price of upgrade mods went up, like wayyyyy up. At first I thought, "ok, so they made us work for our rewards a bit more, no biggie." I mean 5k+ nanites isn't terribly unreasonable for an S class mod. A couple creature scanning runs and no problem. But then I went to go buy some base building parts from the Nexus and I was floored! 20 salvaged data for a wall piece? 100 for the electromagnetic generator?!?!? What gives? I deleted my survival save so I could use this as my new survival save because of the cool stuff you get during an expedition that doesn't carry over to other saves. Is this specific to the expedition, or are all modes now like this?

Speaking of mods... What are your favorite mods for playing in VR? [Question]

I play mostly in VR and have just started looking at mods. I got RElight, instant scan, and cleanHUD (though, I think cleanHUD removes some other stuff unintentionally), and am wondering if there are others that I should get, or if there are better ones for VR instead of pancake.

Like... Is there a mod that allows for switching weapons and modes with a button press/chord instead of the wrist menus?

No Mans Sky Concept - Melee Weapons - revamped personal shields, melee weapon archetypes and more [Suggestion]

Personal shields are revamped to showcase animation upon recharging and depletion.

New melee animations

Melee weapons are set in two damage archetypes:

Kinetic: cause more physical damage to unshielded Enemies

Energy:Cause more damage to shields at the expense of physical damage

Melee weapons come in the shapes of:

Swords

Axes

Daggers or combat knives

Wrist blades

Glaives

Each Weapon class each have their own traits and stats such as:

Damage

Swing speed

Resistance (Block durability)

Each weapon will specialize in their own trait. For example:

Wrist Blades: Acts as a stronger, faster melee punch. Specialize in speed, Low resistance, low damage

Combat knives: standard melee weapon with balanced stats, decent speed, decent damage, decent defense

Axes: specialize in damage, decent speed, low resistance

Glaives: a pike that specialize in defense by coming equipped with a shield at the end of blade. Low speed, decent damage, high defense

Swords: Specialize in every trait there is, acts as a higher teir combat knife

Okay, I've got a bunch of questions: please feel free to answer all or any [Question]

I have been playing NMS off and on for a couple of years now (Xbox) and was gone from the game for about a year... so many changes!! But I have a friend that I want to play with (PC) and he is just getting started. We managed to find each other (I joined a game he was hosting) and he was able to land on my freighter. BUT, when I tried to get him to teleport using the station terminus and mine on my freighter, he only saw his original planet and the station in that system. None of the "other bases" or stations showed up. I see tons... and all of my bases, of course. How can I get him to my main base?

I also was able to initiate a trade with him to give him some plate metal... but couldn't hand him raw material... WTF?

What is the best way to group? Can I allow him access to my base?

Please... I need help!

My save has disappeared and I need help [Bug]

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.

My PSN is Xx360rapidz and my cross platform code is E81Q-EGRF-38ENR

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.

Now I'm at the start of my work day and I just want to go home and play

Discovered planets reverting to their original generated names.. [Bug]

Has anybody else had this issue since the Leviathan 3.91 update? I beat the Expedition yesterday so I decided to go back to my main save. Finally started renaming and uploading planets/systems I discovered a while ago in Eissentam, particularly ones where I have bases.

But when I got back on today - all of the planet and system names have reverted to their original generated ones, as if I uploaded them that way. I am absolutely certain I renamed them. Other planets/systems that I've renamed in the past haven't changed.. Just the ones I named yesterday. I've had no issue with Network Discovery aside from the night before the patch.

Is it just me? Is anybody out there facing this same problem?

The expedition end had me gripping my controller [Discussion]

Spoilers ahead please be aware.

So I started this expedition a few days ago, it is also my first one. Once I got the hang of it I enjoyed the challenges of "permadeath"

Tonight I stayed up till 2:30 am est (at the time I'm writing this) much MUCH later than I should, I usually go to bed at 10pm est. I stayed awake wanting to finish this expedition since my time to play over the coming weeks will be bar none.

Don't read further if you don't want spoilers please.

So as I summon the leviathan in space and initiate the conversation, it eventually says it will close the loop, screen goes black and the quotes appear. Man the wave of emotions that washed over me thinking I made a mistake and at the very end I had to restart.. I was angry sad miserable dismayed and heart broken all at once, I'm pretty sure I heard the controller cracking as I squeezed it. But to my joy and surprise as the screen lit up on another world and the notification appeared on my screen my emotions took a roller coaster spiral to happiness relief joy and excitement as I claimed my leviathan frigate.

I hope to hear your reactions to the end as well. Thanks for reading!

Can anyone help me fix this starship? [Bug]

So i got this ship a few days before leviathan update hit and it was just fine. Since the day the update came out it looks like this. Older saves dont fix the problem nor does reloading, switching views or warping. Its only that one ship that has this visual bug, others are all fine.

Did anyone else experience this bug or does anyone have an idea if its possible to somehow fix it?

I love the game, but there are some points as an amateur astronomer which i Would love to see implied. [Suggestion]

Planets with zero fauna & flora should be vaster (if they are in the game) Gravity on planets should variate. You could be crushed on one and go flying on an other. Food. I have no idea why they didn’t add this from the get go. A hunger meter seems logical. Diverser weather conditions. There are planets that rain glass, sideways. Most NPC’s besides the Gek have the same humanoid body. In a universe this vast it would be cool to see NPC’s with four arms, really skinny and long, ect.

Just another wishlist [Suggestion]

Roads. Like highway systems connecting various outposts and settlements. There could be valuable cargo among the traffic there. A great opportunity to have on-foot piracy.

Pirates. Like, actual Pirates riding on boats in the ocean. They could inherit the “road” system mentioned earlier where boats follow paths to various seaports; being intercepted by cannon wielding buccaneers

Water. Need gigantic tidal waves, deep oceans, whitewater rivers, waterfalls, geysers, and easiest of all PUT RAINDROPS ON OUR WINDOWS! I’m tired of flying through a cloud and not seeing any water on my windshield. When it rains, same thing. Screw it, I not only want water on my windshield I also want wiper blades that I can turn on to wipe off the water.

Galaxy map overhaul. Currently it feels like I have no idea where I am. It’s just a sea of random stars going in random directions. Give us the ability to zoom out all the way and see the entire galaxy at once. Add regions to the galaxy that mean something. Add gek/korvax/vykeen homeworlds and central hubs dotted around various corners. Things that are exclusive to that specific zone of the galaxy. Make it feel like it’s worth going to the other side.

#

shared build suggestion [Suggestion]

I'm sure it's been suggested in the past - The game should be open to a massive amount people being able to build on the same area on the same planet, even if its an event.

We might see some absolutely crazy cities if we all share the same space, you could even limit it to a small pocket of land.

Aggressive sentinel planets need a rework [Suggestion]

I'm all for planets with aggressive sentinels but having them constantly spawn 3 feet from you every time you lose them is obnoxious and cheap, maybe if they didn't send you to one nearly every time you do a nexus mission I wouldn't mind but it's annoying when you need to talk to a traveller or interact with something and they are firing at you while you are in dialogue that doesn't skip very fast.

Play No Mans Sky without spoliers, or guides. Just play and learn. But, if you're 20-50 hours in then there are some things you should know... (staged spoilers) [Suggestion]

Some methods that you might have overlooked. The most fun to be had is to discover these methods for yourself, but still, I share these ideas as spoilers so you can unlock them as you need.

Some of these tips are so obvious you'll wonder why I posted them, but then I bet even some veterans will learn something. Basics

While mining deposits with your terrain manipulator you can press T to enlarge the area to mine much faster. You may need to have the correct quest selected from the log menu to advance it. This applies to the base computer research, check it with the right quest log selected as often as you can. Ship

For your first ship upgrade it might be tempting to fix a busted old ship that you find in distress. These usually need a lot of work to get going, and are not worth the trouble. You might be better off saving up 3-5 Million credits and waiting at a Spaceport for a nice ship in your budget to arrive. If you wait at a Colossal archive in a system with a good economy you will see some nicer ships. Exploration

If you find an outpost or a settlement with a technology vendor you should set up a teleporter nearby - just a base computer, biofuel reactor and the teleporter is all you need there. You can teleport TO an unpowered teleporter, but to teleport back out you may need to add 5-6 carbon to the reactor. If you have the Teleporter menu open and it runs out of power you can still teleport. Anomaly

If you need to quickly return to your base to grab something you can just fly up to space. Press X while in spaceflight to summon the Anomaly, go in and use the teleporter to go wherever you need to go, when you are done press X again and select teleport back to the Anomaly. Economy

You can easily smuggle contraband and avoid the...

I was excited for the Leviathan expedition, but after dying one too many times, I have learned that I hate permadeath mode. [Discussion]

I had just gotten back into the game back when expedition 5 was juuuuuuuust about to end, and my joy at doing the new expeditions (the first one I did since they implemented new expeditions) was cut short after only a few hours.

Even though I didn't make much progress, I thought it was really fun. I got distracted and completely missed the sixth expedition, but I was right on time for Leviathan. I didn't think much of the permadeath mode as they said it was going to have roguelike elements, and roguelike is one of my favourite genres (over a thousand hours in Binding of Isaac).

I died a handful of times as I'd never played on survival (or permadeath) before, but those deaths were all around the beginning, no more than an hour in. I learned that I had to play much safer if I was going to progress.

And progress I did. I got all the way to the third phase and was having a lot of fun. Until I landed on a toxic planet and realized I had no toxic protection. Dead.

Allllll the way back to the starting planet. And what progress was saved? Basically nothing. Three of the optional mission rewards, giving a handful of upgrades to ship and exosuit inventory. That's it.

Progression on everything else, gone. All the data for the missions wiped (save for the final optional ones). Was it a glitch? Probably not. I guess I overestimated the "roguelike" elements that they made for this expedition. I would honestly say that they have no business using that term because the "progression" that is saved is nothing more than a hollow shell of the experience I had.

I had fun up until that death, but not enough to do the whole thing over again. I think I'll just start up a new save and play like I used to, and hope the next expedition is better. Would have loved to have played the previous...

Collecting storm crystals in expedition 7 [Information]

Mapan VII

There's an easy location to get storm crystals on expedition 7 in the Cebrac-Eliwyn system. It's one of the loop systems and so you might already have it as a teleporter destination. There is reasonable visibility, flat terrain, no aggressive sentinels and I haven't seen any whirlwinds there yet.

Just get in your Minotaur and it's low-risk.

How to find the right planet for the secondary missions? [Question]

Hi!

I'm very new to the game and I'm still in my learning phase, so I'm sorry if I'm asking for something that's obvious. I've accepted a few missions where I have to track and scan planetary minerals. Seems simple enough, but in the objectives it says: "The client has requested mineral scans from a specific planet. Consult the Galaxy Map while in space to locate the survey location", however when I open the Galaxy Map I find nothing there that would help me in locating the right planet and I end up just going from one to another until the mission starts progressing.

Can somebody explain what am I doing wrong?

I really wanted that space whale frigate but I guess it's not happening. This new expedition is whack. [Suggestion]

I wish you all the best of luck with it and I hope you guys succeed.

I don't have a lot of time to dedicate to games and I just died minutes after finishing the first tier because outrageously overpowered space pirates killed me as I was literally exiting the space station. I took one out, recharged my shield, and the other literally killed me in under five seconds. I wish I was exaggerating.

It just seems like the odds have been specifically tampered with too aggressively to make sense for a permadeath mode. I had just gotten to a point where i could buy a better, stronger ship when I'd died too but couldn't transfer inventory without a freighter for backup storage.

Please tone down the aggression! I literally love this game but have no intention of playing the new mode when even playing carefully won't save you because the game just undermines you at times when you literally can't do anything.

Ain't nobody got time for that. I'm out.

This is just Seán Murray having a chuckle I guess.

Thought experiment: No Man's Sky but all one planet? [Discussion]

So a common wishlist notion for NMS is more biome diversity on a single planet. It occurred to me what if HG took the same procedural generation algorithms and applied it to one planet instead, placing incredibly complex varied biomes on just one world? So world exploration instead of space exploration.

Just a thought that popped into my head. Could be a different narrative genre, pre-industrial, fantasy, et cetera.

Strange sparks appears sporadically [Bug]

I randomly get a ball of sparks near the character like I’m using the Mining Beam. The ball of sparks is a small ball with a cascade of particles flowing from it and gives a fizzing sound.

The ball is not fixed and never more than one, it moves towards or away from my character when moving but always staying on the surface of objects. Most of the times it appear in direction where there is a marker from a player like a spaceship or save-beacon, stationary or moving. When there is a ship in the icon the ship’s owner is not the same player so it seems not relevant, any marker will produce this strange bug. On a planet, in Space Station, Freighter or Derelicts doesn't matter except never in my own space craft.

I don’t recall this happening in Expedition 6. It was a while anyway. Now in Expedition 7 I have a different computer and better GPU (always NVIDIA) so hardware should not be the issue. I have uninstalled and installed NMS in a different folder a week ago, only the game saves are the same copy.

In intense moments like exploring Derelicts it is causing issues seeing enemies and flickering bright white/pink light reflecting on walls 'burns' out other color shades and details in the scene.

I would guess this is an in-game marker used for some function (Level of Detail, light, icon/marker perhaps) that randomly switches to the same values as hitting an object with the mining beam and gets the render/particle engine confused.

This happens randomly in all game saves from time to time, not limited to Expeditions and game updates have not removed this issue. Once this behavior starts it comes and goes active a few seconds then one or a few seconds active again over a period of a few minutes in a reoccurring event once it has started until it finally is gone for a longer undetermined period, even weeks, until something triggers this effect again. Graphics settings in...

This game gets dark [Discussion]

If you read data entries on corrupted esc planets, you can find disturbing logs of the author’s demise, or just why they left the planet.

One planet I went to (boiling doom planet) is all greyscale, with the reflections and highlights being pink and blue. The plant were nightmare tentacle monsters that looked like Xenomorph eggs only huge. I found a crashed frigate and read the log, It was a man trying call his wife to tell her that he won’t make it back to the Capital ship. He mentioned containment units failing and the ship being damaged and that it’s crashing into a planet, the log ended with “We drank the water.”

Days of hard work are now thrown into the drain if I don’t. If nms logs every place you’ve been at specific times, then maybe I will be able to fix it.

50 hours in, my impressions. [Discussion]

I haven't touched some of the content - like outlaws I really haven't played with... But here are some thoughts of what I have played.

Artemis followed by Atlas -- sad, but really good. I'm not sure if I'm all the way through atlas yet, I just got to a new galaxy. Might be, might not be.

Freighter -- I really like the access to my ships. It is where I go when I want access to my hauler that has my overflow storage (mostly S class upgrades I don't currently have a use for). On the other hand I find frigate missions tedious. I don't want to babysit my frigates once or twice every gaming session.

Settlement -- My first settlement ended up on a radioactive world that had horrible storms like every 15 minutes that would pick me up and throw me around. I got tired of it and swapped it out for a settlement on a paradise planet. Other than occasionally building a new building and settling disputes, I'm not really sure what the point is of settlements.

Ships in general: The problem is I use them like this: Exotic ship main -- most of the slots unlocked -- I don't see any reason to use a second ship a lot, this sucker pretty much does everything. It has huge carry capacity, and I have no trouble in fights... Why would I improve another ship? (I do use a second ship, a hauler, for storage of S class upgrades).

I want a reason to need more ships, and can't find one (besides a trash ship to jump between galaxies with).

Exploration in general: Love it -- as long as I don't have an agenda. If I am looking for a planet to do a particular thing I never find it. It turns out most of the planets that do what I wanted (have nice weather to build shit on) I already found very early on in my gameplay.

Bottom line. I got 50 really good hours out of the game -- that means it is money well spent. On the other hand, I feel like I'm running out of stuff I want to do... Other...

Basically, I'm at around 10 hours in I think. Up to the ghost in the machine quest and got to expand my base. I'm aware that when you beat the game, you can create a new universe with different types of planets based on your choice.

My thought process is that I should focus the primary quests to get them done, then start exploring everything else that i want to do, build proper bases, settlements, freighters, all the upgrades and S class gear etc. Only because I know it will take lots of time to find everything like the an ideal paradise planet to start my base on, S class freighter and building the frigate and all the exocraft with their upgrades and so on and it feels like its best to do all that after the main quest.

Am I missing out on stuff if I do it like this or is waiting until after the main story to sink into a lot of that stuff the best way?

The ending [Discussion]

Man I've finished the main quest line in this game a few times now, but it really hits me in a psychological place.

It really does the whole, universe experiencing itself thing so well. And we're all 16 minutes away from the end.

Such a beautiful, poignant ending.

And what better way to end than to reset a new galaxy.

I'd like to see a fix for extreme weather inside closed buildings [Suggestion]

I don't understand why extreme weather is inside a completely closed building. Usually, it's just part of the inside space and not the entire space. Maybe it would make sense for something like radiation that can non-destructively go through, but something like wind would need to destroy part of the building instead of magically coming through windows and walls. It seems the bigger the inside space is the more likely this is to happen.

Long distance wiring help [Question]

Hi, i started playing some days ago, im trying to do a mining site powered with electromagnetic generators. The problem is that there is something like 1400u between Point A(mining drills) and point B(generators) So i had to make 3 bases in total and i cant connect them bc the wires in some point turns red and i wont power beyond that, Thanks for the help

Haven't played in a few years, is my base likely to be gone with all my stored goods with it? [Question]

Just the title really. Keen to return to the game but losing my base and all my meticulously stored goodies will really put a dampener on things.

I'm unable to see from the Steam app on my phone when I last played but I reckon its been at least 2 years. I heard a rumor that a certain update caused a planetary reset, which would remove player bases and therefore all stored within items.

Wondering if I'm ships will still be there too?

Update Wish: Improved Freighter Bases [Discussion]

I may be in the minority here, but I'd love to see some expansions to freighter bases in the game. I love living that Star Trek vibe, having my base travel the galaxy with me as I explore, which is why I think it'd be so cool if the base building with freighters could be expanded on. Multi-level rooms, a customizable bridge, some actual lighting so I don't have to walk on my starship with a flashlight out. Oh, and a bigger crew would be awesome! Basically the frontiers update, but the starship version. Probably not in the roadmap for hello games, but I think it'd be pretty sweet.

New to the game, trying to figure out the ropes.... [Question]

I have been playing the game for about 20 hours now mostly on multiplayer. I have 2 questions where I cant seem to find an answer that is less than 6 months old... Activated Copper: Is there a quest I need to do before finding it? My friend and I were on the same planet and he could search/scan for activated copper while mine were only normal copper. I have traveled a few yellow systems now and have only found normal copper. Not sure if im doing something wrong here or just bad luck. I also tried looking via the catalog but I can only see copper and other resources are marked as ???? and nothing happens when I click on it. Is the Economy Scanner still bugged on multiplayer? When Im playing with my friend I cant seem to find any trading ports even tho I scan multiple planets in a system. I have tried scanning from space, while flying around the planet and on the ground, still no luck.

expedition 7 act indium farm [Question]

So I tried portaling to an act. Indium farm world that I've been using to make the moniez, and there wasnt anything there. I could be wrong, but it seems like the expedition galaxy is separate.

#

Do squadron ships matter, or just pilots? [Question]

Does anyone know whether or not the ships in your squadron matter for their performance, or just the pilot? Is there any benefit to outfitting a ship with upgrade modules yourself to add to your own squadron (by exchanging it in a station and immediately recruiting it), instead of just finding a random S-class to recruit and further improve with nanites onboard your freighter?

#

NMS VR improvements coming for PC too? [Discussion]

There was an announcement of a PSVR2 version of NMS, I assume it contains basic improvements, since the first VR mode was limited by PSVR's lack of roomscale, etc.

Now, judging from the past evolution of the game, I think it's safe to assume these QoL improvements for VR will be ported to PC too.

NMS VR is great but needs some love, and it seems to be getting that on PS5 already.

Thoughts?

As someone passionate of space games and who played most space games out there (minus Star Citizen, which isn't a game)..... [Discussion]

Good lord this one is the best out there. The feeling of discovery, always something new around the corner, the freedom of being who you wanna be, so much to explore, to see, breath taking views, etc. Its just awesome. Ever since Hello Games did NMS right and actually gave it the promised features, I've been hooked. After a bad day at work, I just log in and enjoy the atmosphere, the beautiful planet landscapes and you know....it just goes away. Its peaceful, awesome and I can revel in its beauty. I might not be the most min maxing player out there (because I feel this game doesn't need that level of optimization but to each his own) but you know....this game helps. When I feel down, its beauty and the feeling it inspires always do good. Just my 2 cents.

A question about starship upgrade modules [Question]

Hey guys, so I just picked myself up one of these new solar sail ships, and I've been working hard to make it one of the best ships in my fleet. But while following my normal procedure of installing S class upgrade modules in the best arrangement more maximum stats, I noticed that all but the phase beam was affected. It seems that no matter how many modules I install or where I place them, my damage potential stat does not change. Am I just wasting nanites? Do these ships have some kind of damage cap I'm unaware of? Or is the stat maybe increasing without displaying the change? I can't find any information about this on Google or in bug reports. Thanks I'm advance for info

Resetting Memory Loop Location? [Bug]

So I have a fun problem... My waypoint for Iteration Two's "To Crave the Stars" spawned either inside a mountain and it doesn't seem possible to manipulate the terrain to get to it. The sides of the mountain are too steep to walk, even the minotaur falls - not that I could use the scanner while in it anyway.

Is there anyway to force a new location? Otherwise I'm stuck. I've put too much time into this 'life' to respawn.

Error code that nobody on the internet seems to have a solution to. [Question]

My hopes for the next update [Suggestion]

Long time fan through the years, love coming back every few months and playing through whatever new content has been added. However, while I think there's plenty of great ideas from the community, I'd love to see an update dedicated to some fine-tuning. Cleaning up some of the older animations (seriously that run cycle is horrid I'm sorry), cleaning and speeding up the UI (stuff like scanning, trading/NPC interaction, etc.) doubling down on bug fixes, and general next gen polishing would go a long way to really make this game look and more importantly feel good. I know I'm just a voice on the internet, so these are more suggestions, not demands. Sean has said himself that he's scratching his head at new content, so why not polish the stuff that's already there?

I have been playing for a few days and honestly loving it so far but is it normal to run into so many glitched/broken quests? [Question]

I have 3 main quests I'm trying to complete right now.

One quest is just telling me to go to the Anomaly...which I've done. And it still says to visit the anomaly to progress

Alone Amidst The Stars is telling me to find clues about Artemis. I spoke to Nada and Polo and nothing has changed.

Under A Rebel Star has coordinates that takes me to some random planet, tells me to get out and begin my search and there is literally nothing there.

Can You recommend me this game? [Question]

Hi there, I have a few questions, I’m thinking about this game (I’m big fan of open world games with RPG genre like fallout) so here are my questions. 1. Will I be able to get quests? 2. Are there some bounty hunting closed missions where you have to travel to another planet, land and kill on foot some Npc, grab loot and extract? 3. Will I be able to hunt monsters aliens etc? Some skinning, selling it? 4. Will I be able to do some mining and sell the ores to auction house? Get some passive income? 5. Anything what would be cool for a big fan of RPG?

Thanks!

Anyone having issues with system and planet names not saving? [Question]

Utter and complete LOATHING. [Discussion]

That is what I feel for this Expedition.

Game constantly asking to change detail on hard drive, as well as stuttering problems. [Question]

Every time I launch the game it does that thing whenever you download and launch a new program "allow this program to change your device?" thing and I'm not sure exactly how to fix it. The game also lacks an icon on my task bar and shows up as just a default program.

on to the more annoying issue, I'm not sure what I need to do but I'm having a really weird stuttering problems, for reference my pc is

I5-7600

3060

SSD

16Gb 3k MHz ram

the stuttering happens exclusively on planets and its while I'm walking around or moving in an exocraft every, 8 or so seconds it skips frames and stutters for about half a second . The inconsistency is really throwing me off as I can play much more demanding games with less to no lag on this setup. It also happens even when I drop the game down to the lowest graphics possible. I've tried changing the threads that it uses and everything but I can not think of any way to fix it, anyone have any ideas that worked for them?

so... regarding the bug at loop 1 [Bug]

How exactly am I supposed to progress? I've created a memory resonator, and proceeded to the first anchor world. Upon arrival into the system, I gained the achievement for reaching the place. Now, my objective is to find the planet Ennect, and use the resonator there.

Let's skip the part where there's absolutely no planet in-system going by that name. Five planets total, zero Ennects. Anyway, among the five, there is a frozen body, that is, apparently the required place. The only way I could decipher this, is that my resonator does not show a "weak signal" message on this planet.

Problem is, it simply does nothing. No messages, no new quest directions. Nothing.

Shame, cause over all, I love the permadeath approach of hello games. This bug/failed elaboration has made the expedition extremely infuriating. I've read online that this is a type of bug, but there were no workarounds mentioned. Does anyone know a possible way out of this predicament?

Idea: Vehicle/mech bay for freighters [Suggestion]

Personally, I am not a big fan of bases. I stuff everything into my freighter, so I came up with this idea.

Imagine this:

You have a large room in your freighter. There is a bay door in the floor, with your vehicle (or mech) suspended above it. You can enter your vehicle in the room. If you do so while your freighter is above a planet, a button prompt appears.

When you press the button...

A message to Mr Sean Murray [Discussion]

I wanted to write this message to Mr Sean Murray to share my experience of playing NMS because Im really at a loss for words at this point.

6 years ago the game released and already back then I understood the size of the game and that it might take a year or two to really turn the game into the concept it was designed to be.

5 years later I go back and the game is amazing with settlements and freighters and pets and the list goes on. But there is one small issue. I can’t play it on Xbox one. The performance is horrible and the game keeps crashing. So I go out and spend a considerable amount of money on a series X solely for the purpose of playing NMS.

I play for a few hours and after 1 update the game is even worse then on the old console. I get about 3 seconds in game before being kicked out completely.

It’s been a week since I reported this to HG and I’ve received nothing but radio silence from your team.

(When I accidentally deleted my mk2 oppressor in GTA, Rockstar in 24 hours refunded me 3.5m and messaged me that because it was a common mistake they were able to refund me but if I did it again it would be on me, and that’s Rockstar!!)

So now I’ve tried 3 methods of deleting the game and unplugging my console thanks to the lovely community that’s helping me get my game back and so I wanted to ask, does this sound normal to you? Do you realize that after 6 years the game is still unplayable for a significant amount of your users.

Am I suppose to just hang up my Geck shoes as they say after 400+ hours now?

My advice - slow down on pushing out expeditions and take some time to focus on fixing the performance of the game no point in having living frigates if we can’t play the game :)

Hope you receive this rant in the good spirit it was intended in. Thank you for reading.

For all the Stasis Device builders out there - this might help [Information]

I'll cut to the chase.

I created a spreadsheet to help me build Stasis Devices, and sharing is caring, so here we are.

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1xhxYiyQHMbqxszdbCkkTwKFF_SIWkVr177La7JnZikw/edit?usp=sharing

There are three tabs:

Calculator - materials on hand

Enter the amount of all the required materials you have and the sheet will calculate how many Stasis Devices you can build and the base value.

Calculator - desired quantity

Enter the number of Stasis Devices you want to build and the sheet will calculate how much of each required material you will need and the base value.

Calculator - desired revenue

Enter the number of units you want to receive and the sheet will calculate how many Stasis Devices you need to build and how much of each required material you will need along with the actual revenue you will receive (based on base value).

Actual revenue will, of course, depend on the economy in the system you sell them in.

I hope this helps you obtain very many riches.

Launches use 37% of fuel despite upgrades [Bug]

The base rate without upgrades is supposed to be 25% right? I have another ship that I got from a crash and just repaired and that one uses 25% fuel.

settlement questions [Question]

so basically i already own a settlement that i’ve upgraded quiet nicely though the problem is that it’s on a very bad planet. high sentinel activity. strong sandstorms during the day and very cold weather during the night. plus it’s very very far from my main home base, takes like 1-2 minutes to teleport there and back.

now my main problem is should i give that one up for a better one or keep the one i have now? in the late game would the location not matter and just produce income for you once you max it out (are you able to max out a settlement??)

because i would like to oversee one in my system but i don’t wanna give up my settlement atm if it isn’t worth it. plus are there different tier settlements? like should i look for the best i can find near my system or are they all so similar that only location would matter?

if anyone could answer any of the questions i’d be very appreciative. thanks.

Shattered Past: did I screw myself? [Question]

I triggered the Shattered Past mission in phase 5 without paying too close attention. Pulsed and got prompted to land on the derelict freighter. I did and got all the way to opening the door wondering why it was prompting me to go there even though I hadn't activated an emergency broadcast receiver. Once the door was unsealed, I realized that it wanted me to run a derelict freighter and I backed out because I needed to do a few more upgrades first, pick up some batteries, etc. Now, I can't get the milestone to complete. When I select it on the expedition tab, it tells me to use an emergency broadcast receiver to locate a derelict freighter. I can do that and I've done multiple full derelict runs, but nothing I do will get the milestone to complete. I'm getting the feeling that unsealing the freighter door tied it to that specific freighter instance, which I will never find again. Has anyone else run into this and found a solution other than re-running the expedition?<

They should add battles between freighters [Suggestion]

Wouldn't it be cool to see two freighters battleing each other with ships from both fleets flying around them through the laser beams? It would also be really fun to be a be able to approach your friend's freighter and attack them with the freighter cannons and the squadron. That way you can have a battle and steal the resources in the cargo that neither players can access anyway

This game needs connections / depth [Suggestion]

Don't get me wrong, I love this game. It's a cool sandbox game with a lots of things to do.

But, everything has a place, there's no surprises. Basically, if you need something, there's a way to gain it, there's no luck included (there are some minor exceptions like finding s class upgrades in the wild instead of buying them but you understand what I'm trying to say).

Just a little example, lately I'm into salvaging derelich freighters, after founding a security credential, you don't have to read other logs (except learning about lore/story stuff). Since those are like dairies or classified documents, what if we could learn about a crashed ship location? Or start a mission (similar to mission board ones but maybe different rewards), or end someone's uncompleted mission?

This could be applied any terminals, logs in the game. I mean there's lot of thing to do in the game but no connection between them. I'm not talking about new content, just a mechanic.

I know Hello Games usually use this mechanic as an extra (primary missions, expeditions). I'm just suggesting this should be a game mechanic, not a special event exclusive.

Like (if some of them are already exists, sorry, I ddin't know);

  • We have random trader ships who are trying to sell stuff, but no pirate ships who offer a dirty job or threat with a dirty job instead of just trying to rob you.

  • We have an egg sequencer for companion creation, so there could be a mission type which you can create a specific egg for customer etc

  • There could be alone companions in the wild which are can get recognized via their accessory and if you feed them they could lead you a crashed ship of their former owner. (I know this is sad but come on, game is much darker than this already)

  • A stranger have a story, map, mission (a stranger means, for example an alone korvax in gek space station)

  • Revenge....

Does universal wire scale glitch still work? [Question]

I've seen bases with glitched scaled items during this expedition and when I tried recreating the tutorials for the wire scale glitch, the duplicate option was unavailable on each and every wire (both glitched and not).

Did it get patched out or is it just me who has this problem?

I've found a workaround by selecting the item I want to scale glitch, use the toggle wire + edit mode, selecting to move the glitched wire instead of duplicating and then pressing the toggle wire and place buttons at the same time, but that removes the wire I created and I have to do that for every unscalable item.

I love No Man's Sky but...hiccup. [Discussion]

Hello everyone,

(PC player here)

I recently started playing NMS, for a few weeks now, and i love it. I remember being way younger and by far my most fav space game was Freelancer (besides Homeworld francise, nothing can't compare even close to it, but it's an RTS so we will leave it aside for now). And i always had this itch for a space flying/sim/exploration game, and NMS is that stick that scratches just the right spot. It's beautiful. And i love the redemption arc that day did with a flawed launch and how HG became one of the most recognized "good guy" in the industry. Because i peaked at NMS once in a while from a distance, bet never tried it until now, and i got to say, it's amazing. Having a blast.

And i also like how they keep coming with these new updates and fresh content. And it's great.

My only complaint is that i would really like that HG would focus on PC experience in general. I have 2021 model Zephyrus G14 R75800 + RTX3060, so a pretty capable gaming laptop, with DLSS i can pretty much crank everything to ultra and have 50-60 fps stable experience, but why every single time i leave a planet there's this hitch for basically 1-1.5 seconds. And why i have to install a third party mode to remove that hitch? And there's this stuttering almost all the time, it's subtle but it's there, when i turn a round fast it stutters, when i fly low orbit, it stutters, and doing just variety of things, there's basically this constant stutters.

I did that whole THREADS config tweak and stuff and nothing really made the stutter go away. That's just sad, because the NMS experience can be really just amazing, and for the most part it is, but there's these tiny details that make it form unbelievably good.

So i hope that there's gonna be that patch, it can be like 30GB or even a 100GB patch for what i care, but one day let NMS run on this really beautifully optimized...

Tips on how to move progress from Xbox to Nintendo Switch [Question]

Hi! I'm a new player, 43 hours in, still very early in the storyline, still learning, don't even have a freighter yet. I have been grinding for a while though and have made some nice progress: got a good multi-tool that I've been installing lots into, bought some nice ships, collected a lot of units, nanites, supplies, rare stuff, etc.

I've been playing on my Xbox, but I am excited about the idea of playing on the go with my Nintendo Switch when it's released this summer. I know I will almost certainly not be able to transfer my save file over to the new console... but from my understanding, I might still be able to connect my two characters in multiplayer and give some stuff to my new game?

Any tips or suggestions on what might be possible for this (or things I can begin to do or not do to prep now)? It would be awesome to be able to jump start my new play through...

Stuck in a mission [Bug]

It's been months (about a half a year) since i stopped playing NMS because i was stuck, and now i'm finally asking for help.

I don't know the name of this mission in english, because i'm brazilian and idk how to change the language, but apparently i have to do 2 quests for a Gek because a cartographer asked to, i did both contracts about three times but the game doesn't count it, please help me, and if there's another way to beat the game that would be great.

Help building signal booster [Discussion]

Can't find quest marker for "The First Traveller" [Question]

my fellow interloper! I need insight! [Bug]

I hopped back in to this great game after some time off, I decided to create a nice mining compound on a gold rich planet. I have my extractors set up, with several storage depots ready to start collecting this precious metal. I have all my wiring and electrical in working order. Now when it's a all green to go, I noticed after logging back in all my storage depots are empty but 1? The others didn't fill? So I figure I'd give it some time. So I logged out for several hours, came back and, same thing. All empty but 1. Is it something I did wrong, or is this a known glitch?

Derelict Freighter Alternative [Suggestion]

Sick and tired of dealing with biological horrors slowing you down? Don't really care about somnal dust at the moment? You have no freighter tech but just want something, anything? Do you like efficiency? Are you wanting to just get to maintenance and skip the rest?

This system for a derelict might be for you.

If you are big into collecting dust for polo or pink slime, then don't bother.

Pros no biological things running around only 1 turret only about 6 sentries in one room and about 6 snot fish floating around security credentials in first room very little to slow you down starship to scavenge, did get S-class weapon but its random

Cons limited storage to loot, not a whole there fabricated tech seems to be only C-class somnal dust only in containers

Co-op, playing with friends? [Question]

Hey I'm a completely new players and 2 friends and I are interested in playing. We want to play together but I have some questions. Can we build a base together? How would this work, join a session (one person as host) and build there? Can we only build on the base when that host is online and we have to join him as host every time? Can we do missions together, does it progress for all parties? How can you make your location save in co-op? It's currently telling me pogress saves, but location doesn't?

Problem with my medium refiners [Question]

I was farming chlorine in no man’s sky yesterday and went off planet to do other things while my chlorine was made. When I got back it was all gone. I lost about 10,000 oxygen and 8,000 chlorine. I thought it was just a one time but then it happened again. This time I lost 15,000 chlorine and 30,000 oxygen. This ended up costing me a ton of time to get all the oxygen back and I lost out on a lot of money. I was under the impression that when you had refiners working you could go wherever and they would still have all your stuff in them when they got back. Is that not the case anymore and if it is does anyone have a fix to this problem?

Long distance power - Help! [Question]

I’ve got a base I built, and there’s an electromagnetic power source 790u away, but no matter what I do I can seem to build past the 300u limit, I can go a little further with the building camera, but not a whole lot and when I place something it doesn’t seem to expand the building rights, I’m still not able to take my character past the 300u limit and build further.

To the player who built a base near Anchor 4 (Expedition 7) [Discussion]

Why in the name of all that's holy would you build a base on a planet with extreme wind events with no walls?! Nothing but open doorways. I got blown right out of your base and thrown against the ground. I'm not happy dying because of my own stupid mistake, but it's even worse to die because of a design flaw.

(Honestly, I'm not sure I'll continue with this expedition. It's just not much fun, and fun is why I play this game.)

Bit of an odd cross-play question. [Question]

I recently got PSVR for my PS4 and thought it would be cool to walk around my bases, problem is I made them on my PS5. I've tried visiting it by having my wife on PC join the PS5 session, then I've logged out while she is there and all is good, then I sign in on the PS4 and join her session but as soon as I do the base disappears. The base is on the server. Any ideas on what I can do?

#

If anyone is starting/restarting Expo 7, could you do a base check for me? [Build]

Basically, I am looking for proof of concept. I started a base in my Permadeath save and want to check if it works for the Expedition 7 (since you cant see your bases from another save). It's located on the Acidic Moon Renonita VII, which orbits the starter planet.

Look for the red base icon with the label "Nanites, Sent Pillar, Crash Freight & More".

Free parking (no launch fuel required) at either the Holoterminal or the crashed freighter. Use the short range teleporter to get to the main base. There are several useful stations there:

0: Holoterminal 1: Sentinel Tower access panel 2: Small patch of runaway mold (need to jump through SRTP 4 or 5 to respawn) 3: 6 medium refiners to process the mold 4: Floating crystals that can be sold at the trade terminal back at the base (will respawn if you jump to the runaway mold) 5: crashed freighter for that milestone

And there is a sodium storage tank to loot.

It's still a WIP as I need to add storage and a few other goodies.

I've heard of issues with seeing other bases asuncovered, but a reload autosave should fix that if it occurs.

Let me know if it works for you!

#

Anomaly is empty? [Question]

Since the most recent patch the Anomaly is completely empty for me. I have multi-player turned on in options and I'm on PS5. I do not have PS+, but could see other players before this.

#

Invasion mode [Suggestion]

Players who enable pvp with markers visible in normal mode get the option to join online pvp visible players through their freighter hub.

Your freighter then warps into their system and the invasion srarts. First player to die warps the invader back to their system. Inventory items are not lost but the winner earns resources and nanites.

Sean has mentioned being a fan of the Souls franchise which is what inspired him to make the message modules. Their invasion system is similar to this and Doon Eternal failed at their attempt to create their version.

Nms has everything it needs because it used to be possible to join random players in the main menu. Thoughts ?

Duplicate squadron ships? [Question]

So still pretty new, got around to investing in all four squadron slots just for the fun of it.

Is it true you can't have four of the same ship in your squadron? Why no matching ships? And if I can't have four of the same, what's the next best thing, matching color scheme? Similar nose/wing design maybe? What would be the best way of sourcing the ones that at least look the same?

#

Mission Disappeared? [Question]

So... I started this game and I had "The Artemis Path" and "The Atlas Path" both listed along with "The Space Anomaly." I think that part is normal, right?

I stuck to the Artemis Path until the very last step where I'm supposed to go reset everything. But before doing that last step, I then followed the Atlas Path all the way until I need to go deliver the final piece to wherever-the-heck. It sounded to me like these both were going to basically end in the same spot, so I figured it would be a cool way to do them both or something.

However, somewhere along the way I was chillin' in the Anomaly upgrading some stuff and somebody dropped 5 Void Eggs into my inventory. I ignored them while I finished the other two story modes, and then I came back to the Egg when it had separated itself into a new slot in my inventory and had apparently turned into a mission. So, I figured what-the-heck; let's go get a Living Ship under the "Starbirth" mission.

I just obtained the Living Ship an hour ago, but when I went back into my missions log, I'm missing one of the main two...?? I think it's the Atlas Path that disappeared, right?

Why? Did I somehow accomplish the end goal of the Atlas Path when I completed Starbirth?

Here's a screenshot of what I see now:

How to make ByteBeat song? [Question]

Hi there! So I have added a ByteBeat Device to my base. I am not familiar on how to make music. I have been clicking random hoping to find a nice sound for the base, but nothing sounds nice. I have looked online but couldn't find a video on how to make that certain song they have made.

Save Beacons [Discussion]

As I understand it, save beacons are visible by other players even if they don't have multiplayer turned on.

Has there ever been a discussion about the possibility of assigning color coded meanings to save beacons used?

Like, red safe beacons indicate the location of a sentinel nest/pillar, blue ones mean trading posts, yellow ones mean miter settlements, purple ones mean portals, green ones mean abandoned buildings, orange ones mean drop pods, etc.

Do you think this might be something the community would be interested in and try out?

Bad Performance on PS5 [Question]

Have spent around 15 hours in this game now and so far I’m really enjoying it. However, I keep experiencing frame drops while landing on planets or sometimes just walking around on them, which is really annoying. Especially the fact that this occurs on a next gen console.

I did however read about this topic from posts that are almost a year old, but most of them have said that the performance was great on the ps5. So my question is if there has possibly been some recent update that’s been causing this bad performance on the ps5 specifically, or has it always been this way?

Thank you in advance.

No Man's Sky Gameplay loop question [Discussion]

Hello! Once you unlock all portal glyphs how do you decide where to explore? Do you use mission objectives? The gameplay loop seems to revolve heavily around using your ship to jump to hyperspace like in Elite: Dangerous to get access to new markets, ships and planets, but unlike Elite, you can use the portals to go anywhere in your galaxy instantly. This disincentivizes me from taking long expeditions including taking long journeys to notable systems. I'm just wondering if there is any way/reason to still do this? Thanks!

I just can not find a thorough explanation of how ship storage upgrades work anywhere. What’s the difference between storage augmentation, purchasing storage, and upgrading class? [Question]

It’s my understanding that storage augmentations are either found or given as rewards though I’ve never come across one (I’m about 35 hours in). Are they akin to upgrade modules for your suit or multitool or just something else completely?

I’m also confused by how expensive it is to purchase ship storage at a space station. I could literally by a whole other ship, and a good one at that, for the same price. Does this purchase buy multiple slots or just one? (I’m not about to drop millions of units to find out) Why is exosuit storage so much cheaper or basically free (drop pods) in comparison?

As for the effect of upgrading a ship’s class on storage, does it automatically grant you more storage slots or does it just create a higher ceiling to buy/augment more storage?

None of this is explained at all in the in-game guide. It’s crazy to me that such a fundamental mechanic is so poorly conveyed to the player.

No Matchmaking problems with consoles [Information]

I'm on an xbox series x but, I think this problem exists on ps5 as well and the fix may be similar. If you have go to the anomaly and noticed that it is empty then this may be happening to you. When you check the network settings a warning pops up saying no matchmaking available, or something like that, then this bug has hit you. This affects both multi-player and the expedition. Here is what I have done to fix this. 1. Hold the power button on your console till it shuts off. 2. Unplug said console. C. Wait for about 20 to 30 seconds Next: Plug back in and fire up your console. 5. Start game This should fix your problem. I don't own a ps5 but I would imagine that the process to fix this is the same. Also if you are on xbox s/x do not let this game go into auto resume mode. I have noticed the this bug shows up anytime that happens. When you log off remember to close out the game fully by hitting start on the game from the home screen and selecting to close the program. Hope this helps some folks O7

Multi-Tools, do I have anything good? [Question]

I've recently started playing NMS for the first time. I don't think I'm very far into the game, as I just warped for the first time and started exploring. I've collected a few ships, and a few multi-tools. I'm just a bit confused on how to tell what's a good Multi-Tool, and what isn't.

My current multi-tools

Do I have anything worthy of upgrading early game? I had planned on making one a "utility / mining" and another my weapon. Is that the best route to go?

I appreciate any feedback.

Can't reach/make first contact with The Space Anomaly [Question]

I am currently at the objective to “return to the space anomaly” and I get told, “mission target is in another system in space, consult the galaxy map with (down on D pad).”

However, I’ve been looking at the galaxy map and have been using a lot of warp cells trying to track it down. Every time I travel the route for this current mission, after a few warps the destination routes changes to a completely different direction and are about 10-15 warps away. This continues (after some more warps the direction and distance change again).

All videos about first contacts with the anomaly on YouTube seem to be conveniently close to them, and I feel this method of chasing it down is extremely ineffective or right out broken. Especially since it seems making contact with the anomaly is a very early game and (imo) should require minimal resources as the players are still trying to get started. Correct me if any of my assumptions are wrong though.

Does anyone know why this all is and how I can actually reach the anomaly from my current situation? I haven’t been able to find anything online specifically about this, and I believe having access to the anomaly is crucial to fully play the game. Also, it seems every blueprint and upgrade I need and want is at the anomaly.

If it's relevant I just started playing again for the first time in 3.5 years, and have gone from 18:25 hours played to 32:38 hours in the last week and a half (since I started playing again). So I don’t know if my hiatus affects this strange long anomaly chase or not.

I guess worst comes to worst I just chase it until I finally find it. If that’s the case what ship/freighter would be best for warping. Because as of right now, my ship and freighter can only wrap to one system on the route at a time.

Thanks y’all!

is it safe to make a base in a freighter? [Question]

what i mean is like if i make a main base in my freighter would that be a good idea?

does it work as a normal base u make on a planet would? also if i change freighters will it save the base and transfer it over to my new one?

i heard there’s bugs with freighters so idk if it’s stable enough to have my home base be on the freighter.

Game saying incompatible save on windows but works fine on my xbox. [Question]

So this doesn't seem like a common problem because I can't find anything that has the solution but basically earlier today I was playing the game and it was going fine, but the past few days I've been having this problem where anytime I'd load into the atmosphere of a planet the game would just freeze for a few minutes then crash. So I looked that up and found a few different ways to go about it. So I made sure my game was up to date, verified files, aaand nothing. So then I uninstall the game and reinstall it but still with the assumption that it won't fix the main problem I was having. I'm playing on pc by the way but I don't use the steam version I use the windows version so that its cross play with Xbox. But here's where the real issue starts, I load the game up and go to select my save and now it says incompatible save, so I look it up and I saw multiple people use a software called NMSSaveEditor, I open it up and go to select my save file to edit, and nothing pops up. So it seems like my save file doesn't even exist on my pc. After that I thought the next rational thing to do is load the game up on my xbox and see if it works on that. So I load it up, aaaand it works completely fine, no issues whatsoever. I go and check to make sure that both my pc and xbox have the same versions of the game downloaded, and they are, which is version 3.91.22580.0, I made sure my data was syncing on my xbox and then I load into the game again and move around a bit, and create another restore point by getting in and back out of my ship, figuring maybe overwriting the previous save might help do something. But that didn't seem to do anything. So to break it down a bit, my pc will not load my save because it says its incompatible but also doesn't show up in my files, but it loads up fine on xbox, which again, is the same version as NMS on my pc. It also doesn't...

A Poorly Communicated Story [Discussion]

I love No Man's Sky. Hands down one of the most gorgeous and fun games I've ever played. (Thanks Hello Games for not only making it, but maintaining and updating it too!)

However, I play on console, where communication is severely limited. I'm not here to complain about it, but it did lead to a funny interaction between myself and another traveler in expedition 6...

I was done with basically everything in expedition 6, aside from the last phase. If I'm not mistaken, I needed to assemble the pirate map using the 3 pieces, but I never got the first one from the frieghter captain in phase 1 or 2... I wasn't able to go and get it either.

I tried for HOURS to get it. And then it hit me. The Anomaly. If I was gonna get it, I was gonna get it from a fellow traveler..

So I went to the Anomaly, and tried to communicate to players that I needed the 1st map. Since I couldn't type, I was trying to communicate this by duplicating the 2nd and 3rd map pieces, and then giving them to people, followed by the "help!" gesture...

After an afternoon of attempts, I realized that didn't seem to work very well.

I then realized I could rename my ship, and so my ship became known as the fearsome "help I need pirate map 1" So then I tried again the next day, spending a few hours trying to flag people to my ship with the "over here" and "help" gestures...

It was only after I was invited to a kind traveler's group that I realized nobody I flagged over could see my ship's wonderful name...

I can't recall this traveler's name, but if you're out there, I greatly appreciate your assistance friend! You helped me complete my first expedition!

TLDR: I got stuck in expedition 6 and a kind traveler helped me complete it after I renamed my ship.

Exotic ship landing not centered on landing pads? [Question]

So I have noticed something a bit off about landing.

I scored a "royal" type exotic ship (horray) and have been enjoying and investing in it. (Way too many credits to upgrade slots)

But I noticed when I first load in, like loading a save, the ship and its landing "Feet" are nicely centered on the landing pad. But if I take off and land again, or fly around and land on another pad, the feet land so the middle feet are near the back of the pad, and the backmost foot is hanging off the back of the pad in mid air.

I'm seriously worried my ship or save is somehow bugged and I don't know what to do about it. It seems to work fine aside from the obvious visual bug, but I hear horror stories of games completely borked because a ship got stuck in the landing process and soft-locks the game. Any thoughts? I tried googling, but didn't see anything about this specific thing.

Just bought the game…and WOW [Discussion]

I’ve been wanting to get No Mans Sky for quite some time now, it always seemed interesting and cool and I viewed it as a larger, multiplayer Subnautica. That is an understatement. I bought the game this morning and played it, it’s so fun. And the thing is I’ve only scratched the surface. I just watched a video that briefly goes over some things you can do in the game that I didn’t even know you could do until now. I’ve only visited 2 planets and the space station and there’s still soooo much I want to do just on those 3 locations. I’m absolutely blown away by this game as it is so much bigger than I anticipated. Love it and can’t wait to dive deeper to find out what else I can do.

Question about trails/bobbleheads [Question]

So I see a lot of optimal builds using multiple trails and bobbleheads for all the bonuses, but is there a way to determine which is actually displayed on the ship? Or does the game choose at random?

Newer player here. Some questions. [Question]

Hi, just bought this game last week and been enjoying it a lot.

Have some questions. No story related questions so no spoiler tag. Do all players really share the same universe? Does this mean other players can loot off my storage container if they come across my base on my home planet? Does time pass even when you are logged off? I returned to a save and the time of the day is never the same from when I left. How common are paradise world star systems?

How likely are you get killed in an outlaw system? Is it harder than when you face pirates on a normal system? I was about to face some pirates there but warp jumped to another system quickly. How often do sentinels attack and how to best survive them? On my first paradise planet home/base, I only get attacked if I pick up certain pearls but I have been surveying some other systems which are heavily patrolled by sentinels. Decided not to mine there because I am still relatively new and haven't managed to defeat any sentinels, only managed to run away.

Been trying to find some answers on the Wiki but a bit hard to get definitive answers.

I'm a fucking dumbass and need help [Bug]

I got NMS for my birthday and LOVE the VR; I'm on a cable link quest 2.

After 1. Total. Hour. Of. Playtime. I decide to check the graphics settings to see what I could upgrade ( I have an RTX 3060 Ti)...

Right as I apply, my headset becomes stuck, I can't move my head, my hands, not do anything: it's just 0.4 fps and not. responding. at. all.

I've tried to lower resolution in SteamVR, it helped for, uuuh, 5 seconds and it got stunlocked again.

I'm currently reinstalling but just in case It don't work, any way I can reset my VR graphics settings without having to launch my damn save?

I think I just raided some dude's base by accident [Question]

So I was looking for coordinates for a Star Destroyer shaped freighter and came across a really old post for it. Naturally, I teleported to a system nearby to S class hunt it by warping into its battle. In said nearby system, I land on a planet and come across some old base. There was storage and dozens of plant homes that you could collect from? I just took everything since the guy was nowhere to be found along with his freighter. Literally had thousands of freighter fuel 200x in his storage box. The game surely won't actually remove them from his box right? Like, if he comes back to the game from years ago, the fuel will still be there for that guy? Or did I just steal all that fuel lol.

Frigate Stuck In Expedition Bug [Bug]

Hey guys, I'm relatively new to NMS and thought I would ask this question because the posts I've seen about it are almost 4 years old with no working answers.

are you kidding me? [Information]

Spent my entire week off trying to do this stupid expedition, and every morning when I have a nice quiet point in the day with no interruptions (I.e. the wife is asleep) I get killed by something stupid, most recently anchor point 4... apparently the storm is constant, but there are different levels of extreme weather... One of these extremes literally causes the wind to grab hold of your character and throw him around like Hulk does to Loki in the first Avengers film...

Fair enough. My mistake for being a piece of s*** I guess.

Freighters can use some changes. [Suggestion]

garage for each exocraft. one thing that mildly irks me is the ability for me to beam down an exocraft from the freighter when they are not even on there. Build a roamer in some other system and I can beam from my freighter in any other system. Doesn't make sense. I think it should require building a garage on the freighter for each one. Much like you can build storage rooms, same for garages. This will do 2 things: a) make more sense b) allow access to exocraft if you need to access its inventory or make tech upgrades to them. Maybe even require that exocraft vykeen from the main story to do it. Cages for pets. I want my pets on my freighter. Much like number 1, be able to build rooms that are cages that your pets can reside in. While I understand, maybe, not having them run around the joint, though that would be entertaining, I never seen them unless i spawn them on a planet. If i remember to do so. Frigate listing. Right now when looking at your list of frigates, there is a box that says "awaiting orders", but it lists those on mission as well. They need 2 separate boxes, one for "on mission" and the other for "awaiting orders", having them mixed together annoys me when trying to see what is just sitting around not doing anything. A higher rate of finding salvage frigate modules. I know they made changes to that recently, but it's patently insane trying to find any now. I only found 2 during Exp 7, with all the stupid derelicts I ran through. And you need hundreds of them for upgrading the freighter in the expedition, that I will never find. If Exp7 reverts to a permadeath save, i'll just delete it. The expense of all items associated with that mode is obscene.

Leviathon Expedition [Question]

So, I got to the point where I was investigating the lost freighter. That's when I died. Talk about wanting to say F this. The only way I could do this is if I can alleviate some of the issues starting out. Nanites. That has to be the big one since increasing your warp distance is a must. What is the fastest way for getting nanites? Is it turning in ancestor memories and selling the upgrades (if you don't want them) or runaway mold?

Can you spoil you experience by skipping to someone else´s system? [Answered]

Ok, so maybe this question doesn´t make any sense, but let me explain. I only have a couple hours in the game and just got to a Anomaly where I got chatting with someone and went to check out their freighter. So now I have that random star system discovered, but I wonder, because they played the game a lot longer then me, would exploring their system give me some advantage, that I wouldn´t have otherwise? I know it´s all RNG, but aren´t later systems on average better, than the ones you start in?

Self imposed limitations. Have you ever tried playing like this. [Discussion]

After getting to the center of the galaxy without using any of the anomaly facilities. I am going to start a new game. This time I wont step on any planets besides the first few ones required for getting into the anomaly.

I am interested to read about what self imposed limitations other interlopers have tried.

My non anomaly facility was quite fun specially because I got to explore more of the planets and actually finish some quests that I usually ignore in my playthroughs, it did get a bit repetitive at times though. The main challenge with the no planet playthrough I foresee is not having an AI farm for the passive income and also not being able to do certain missions.

Living Ship Quest Broken? [Question]

So I've been getting back into NMS and received a Void Egg from someone on the Nexus, I then got onto YouTube found some glyphs and it took me to a system with a Old station (like the ones I remember not the Outlaw ones) my egg told me to head North or whatever so I did (it was a abandoned building hard to miss with all the bases built around it).

I got to a terminal and it started talking about looking to the stars, I then watched another video and this guy gave completely different glyph cords so I went there and now my egg won't sing or do anything related to the quest :(

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

#

I saw a few people suggesting a frigate overhaul (being able to manually pilot them and such), so if that is added, I have an idea for expanding the scope and feasibility of frigate expeditions. [Suggestion]

Stargates.

Large freighter sized, space bound portals that can be constructed by the player and linked to other Stargates in a network, similar to the gateways from Stellaris.

These are very expensive to build, but allow frigates to rapidly travel between known systems, reducing fuel costs and making longer expeditions (>100,000ly) possible.

These could also be useable by smaller starships, eliminating the need to dock to a station or land on a planet to use a teleporter.

I think that frigates and frigate expeditions are under utilised, so additions like this could increase the feasibility and rewards of such expeditions, and go hand in hand with other such frigate additions.

Thanks for your consideration!

“Expeditions” with Main Character? [Suggestion]

Hello fellow Travelers! I would love to see Hello Games create expedition-like missions where we can use our main character and be immersed in a cool story while being rewarded with amazing loot and upgrades.

As a player with more than 500 hours on my main, I am finding myself kinda bored with the current state of things to do in the game.

modders are friends, not food. [Information]

I'm sure most of you know this or you don't care, and you just keep goin on your neutral merry way because you're just here to enjoy the game. For those that don't, modders aren't just aggressive cheating assholes. ESPECIALLY not in no man's sky. The majority of the mods are to make shit look pretty, or to make your ship fly in a comfortable fashion, quality of life improvements like that. Very few of us are are out there actin an ass with the mods we've obtained. So stop "vilifying" them, and speaking to me like I'm trash because I know how to use a computer and wanted the water to look nice, or have a really big pet. I'm not affecting you in any negative way.

That all being said, if you want I'd even be excited to share some of the some of the fun. Come hop in an exocraft and launch it out the side of my freighter. It won't take away from your game I promise, just adds more ways to have fun in space.

Anyway, thanks for listening to my rambling. Love you.

All rooms in freighter deleted when I started a mission. What just happened? [Bug]

I was gifted a freighter for fighting off some Pirates. So I go in there and I start sprucing up the place. I put a command room and a storage room and some other stuff and I get it all settled and it looks great. So then I go save and I come back upstairs and I start a mission with the guy in on the bridge and I turn around and all of it is gone. Just gone. And now I don't have the materials to do it over again (yet) and I also don't trust this dang boat anymore. I've never had this happen before, but this is a new game file I started only a week or two ago.

So which part of the Expedition was the hardest? [Question]

So I died a few times stumbling down a hill after landing with a jetpack. But I learned rather quickly that bases do stay around after each reset, so I had a bunch of small cabins at each anchor point planet and on a high security planet right by some gravitino balls and another on a stormy planet. I almost died in the longest life trying to fight a bunch of sentinels in a minotaur after I learned you should just farm sentinels for glass to sell upgrades for nanites, that might have been the riskiest part with the walker and me trying to jump away from it's beam.

I was warned about the derelict freighter, but it was an easy one with automated defenses and me having a plasma launcher and neutron cannon shoot and run back around the corner. Pirates weren't much of a deal because I was fortunate enough to get the phase beam in the mystery box to recharge my shields.

Building help. Having trouble with some pieces not behaving the way I want them to [Question]

177 hours in I'm tackling base building for the first time but I've run into a couple of issues.

I'm using a mixture of the wooden and stone pieces, which works fine for the most part but I'm trying to place this open doorway and it keeps sort of... flipping upside down? Same thing happens with a few adjacent walls, the same pieces mirrored on the opposite side and a stone frontage piece.

Pictures:

01

02

03

I had all wooden pieces before this before I started replacing them with stone and the same thing happened but it wasn't as noticeable with wood. I had to tear most of my base down and rebuild from scratch because I thought it was perhaps caused by a weirdly placed piece, but no dice.

I also tried free-handing the problematic pieces and they look fine in the preview but as soon as I actually place them, they revert back into the 'wrong' model.

Question about Expedition 7 "Iterate / Repeat" [Question]

So, I've completed the first iteration and I can continue, but I have the one where you die left, is there any way I can save all my items without losing them, and having to repeat everything, or can I leave the dying one for the end?

would anyone be willing to dupe me a gold alpha vector? [Question]

Due to my xbox crapping the bed a while back, I couldn't take part in either of the runs of ex.1, missing me out on the golden vector. Recently a friend of mine just told me about the ship dupe/trade glitch, and i wondered if anyone would be willing to do it with me to allow me to finally own a golden vector.

Do settlement distress calls override freighter battles? [Question]

Just reached my tenth warp and was going to try to find freighters. However upon arriving, I received a distress call from a planet instead of a frieghter. There was a frieghter there but not in a battle and therefore I could board it instantly but could not get it for free even though I had declined previous freighter offers. Is this because only one event can happen on a single warp and how often do settlement distress singles happen?

Did they make the ship combat harder or something? [Question]

I played a year or so ago and I’m trying to get back into it. I remember farming for freighters and having the pirate combat so down that I was clearing the attackers in like 20 seconds

I’ve come back to start a new run today and I legit can’t win a dogfight. All the pirates fly in formation and literally every single time I get in range of one they’re immediately firing back at me from all angles. They have rechargeable shields and also seem to do way more damage

Help I'm stuck in a loop with the base computer [Bug]

So basically I have this problem where, everytime that I enter my base computer for the Archive mission I can't leave it. Even if I go through both option 1 and 2 multiple times I still don't get the leave button. The only way to fix it is to alt+f4 and then reload an older save. Anyone that can help?

Keyboard "Tapping" vs Console "Holding" [Question]

If there is one thing that totally irritates me, is that, unlike my friends who are on PC, I cannot "tap" the E to interact with things or to create things etc. I have to "hold it" down. That is annoying af. On my console, and as I have read from many other places, that is the expected behavior and I am ok with that. But for ease of use on PC - the tapping is just soo much easier. Does anyone know how I can "force" it on PC? I have friends who have bought nms on PC XBoc app and they can tap the E, and I have friends who have bought it on Steam who also can tap the E. So it is not a platform thing...ANY help would be insanely appreciated

Need help fixing potential bug [Bug]

I was doing the 16 mission where is spoke to ATLAS and all of a sudden this really annoying background music started playing and hasn’t stopped.

I tried leaving the system and I tried restarting the game but the sound is still playing. It’s hard to describe but it’s like a high pitched train whistling sound and it’s making the game unplayable for me…

Color Changing Grass [Discussion]

I had a very strange experience today (NMS is so full of these, it's hard to call them strange in the aggregate). I flew into the atmosphere of a lush planet and the grass was green. When I landed it turned red. Then as I walked, it appeared the whole planet was covered in red grass, but far away it was green. I ran to the green areas and they turned red. It was literally a cascade of color changes as I moved. Even places I previously walked to (like my ship) turned green as I went further away and back to red when I approached.

Has anyone seen this before? Is it a bug or a legitimate planet behavior?

I literally randomly exploded [Bug]

I was farming the monstrosity eggs/ larval cores for the new expedition.(perma death one) and while I making my way back to my ship I started exploding, my character just died then and there and now I’ve lost everything and now I need to redo all of the iterations.

I can’t even comprehend how I randomly explode

How does that even happen???

Explain how multiplayer saves work [Question]

Sorry if this has been asked before but it’s really got my stumped.

I joined a friends session, built a small base and gathered a bunch of materials. I saved my progress before I left the online session, then loaded back in to the save but on a solo game instead.

I’m not on the same world I built my base, nor am I even in the same system, yet i still have all of the materials I gathered.

How does this work? How do I play with friends and log in both solo and multiplayer in the same place?

#

Leviathan wow [Bug]

So, I’ve never played permadeath, but whence starting this expedition I already hate it. Almost a version of the old NES games that don’t save and you have to get through the expedition in one pass without dying. Made it to first anchor point and finished first section and then could t find sodium to save my life literally. Also. There seams to be a bug I think in the collecting all that stuff for Polo. Cause I collected them and delivered and the items still show up in my log as incomplete.

02 regen question here. Sorry if it’s been asked I got lost trying to find it and an hour later here I am. [Question]

I have seen the fixes from a few years ago about reloading at save points. Anyone know what to do since that didn’t work?

#

couple of questions about freighter battles [Question]

Does the 3 hour wait time have to be in the same session (not quitting, no reloads)? A lot of conflicting info on this question so I don't know

Does the 5 jump requirement have to be after the 3 hours or can you do 4+ jumps before the 3 hours then do 1 to instantly get freighter battle?

Are there any known bugs or features interfering with freighter battle spawns like the missions to get your first settlement or anything like that?

Are freighter battles always capital freighters after your first one at 5 warps or if not, is the decision that the freighter is capital or not decided per system warped to or per warp? (Basically, if I get a non capital freighter fight, reload and go to a different system, can it be capital or do I have to wait until my next 3 hours and 5 warps)

Thanks for the any help. Really appreciated!

Oh, hey, look, after fifteen minutes of pulsing, there's a derelict freighter. Finally.

Kind of takes the thrill and excitement out of the climax of the expedition story when the game constantly throws unskippable unavoidable busywork at us over and over and over. Half wondering why I didn't get a Dreams of the Deep communication on top of all the rest, tbh.

Learned something new today. [Information]

Was messing with anomalies for the first time and found a wormhole. Jumped around 400k light years and thought that was neat. After landing and popping a quick base down, scanned for another anomaly. Sweet, another black hole. Jump through and have to do a double take.. 1.4 million light years. Seems it took me to another galaxy! Needless to say I had to drop a base with teleport. I had no idea wormholes could do that.

25 hours into the expedition before I died [Discussion]

Oh figured that perna-death meant I'd lose my inventory and have to salvage whatever I could to continue. NOPE

The current expedition is literally the only reason why I got back into the game. Investing more than an entire day into it over the past week and a half (nearly all of my free time) just to find out that absolutely ALL OF THE EXPEDITION PROGRESS HAS BEEN RESET. I'M EXPECT TO REDO THE LAST WEEK OF MY LIFE TO GET BACK TO WHERE I WAS? JFC fuck this. The only reason I died was because I got stuck on the side of an uneditable cliff during a storm. I had absolutely zero opportunity to save myself, no terrain to edit to carve into to wait out the heat and nonstop pirate attacks, nothing. $60 and hundreds of hours into the game and "lol thanks for investing in us, you get NOTHING"

Problems With Multiplayer [Bug]

Hi,

I play on pc and I'm quite new to NMS but have really been enjoying the game as of recent. But, i have encountered a problem.

I was playing with a friend 2 days ago, everything was fine. He was teaching me the basics of the game and all was good. We went off for the night and came back on the game the next day. We joined a game together and were flying into a "Space Station" where we planned to do some trading. while in my ship i could see my friend and he could see me. But, as soon as I exit my ship, an alert comes up on my friends game saying "RkidJosh has left the system" (RkidJosh being my username). I would then repeatedly flash in and out of the game. This would happen at roughly 5 second intervals.

Being confused by the situation we tried to see if the same would happen if he were to stay in his ship and i would stay out of mine. But when he said he was in his ship he didn't appear as we thought he would. We came to a conclusion that the problem was with my game and not his.

I then wanted to test if the Anomaly would work as it is a Multiplayer Hub of some sort. So, i enter the anomaly and see players running around and doing their business as i am approaching the landing pad. I thought it was all fixed. I then exit my ship and still see the players. But this time, the players were frozen. Like completely frozen in place doing the action they were doing at the moment i exited my ship.

I have scoured the WHOLE internet to try and find a solution to my problem but i havent found a single fix. All i have seen is other people saying they have encountered the same annoying bug that i have. I really does ruin the game experience as all i want to do is make a base with my friend.

PLEASE, if anyone has a fix for this bug, can you please tell me the fix.

I have uninstalled and reinstalled the game

I have verified my game files on steam

I don't have any mods...

Discoveries Revert to Default [Bug]

I just started a new save, and quickly realized all the systems, planets, flora & fauna I had named reverted back to their default names. Since you have to upload them to rename them I can't rename them again since they already appear as discovered by me even in older saves. This is kind of a deal breaker, and I had only put a few hours in so I made another new save and the problem happened again.

Expedition 7... [Question]

So I was 3 missions off completing the expedition then died on a derelict freighter.
