Is Nasher/Hofunakab still accessible? [Question]

I remember seeing these glitched systems crop up in earlier versions of the game. Always wanted to visit the 'phantom' system where you (used to) get completely stranded. Are they still in the game, and accessible via a multiplayer lobby? Does the NMS Taxi Service thingy deliver to this destination?

New player with so.. so many questions… [Question]

Hello Travelers, I’m loving this game and have questions that I am unable to find the answers to by googling, please help.

I found an exotic multi-tool that’s rank C and bought it, I’ve increased the slots as much as I can (total of 9 or 12 I can’t exactly remember right now) but I’m wondering if I can further increase the number of slots by ranking it up, or is it just not a keeper? I can’t increase the max number of slots for credits anymore via the vendors terminal in space stations.

I saw a video on YouTube of what looked to me like an Atlas tech warp gate on the surface of a planet that you input a series of glyphs in order to find a new system, how do I find those? I have only progressed in the story to where I just found the first Atlas terminal/station thing, but I don’t want to build a more permanent base until I find one.

Why do pirates keep finding and attacking me? I googled it and found that settlement building is plagued by pirates, but I’m just out in the worlds farming whatever resources I need, or traveling between planets, or sitting in one spot for more than 5 minutes, and I’ve got a group of pirates trying to gun me down.

I’ve realized how I need all of the credits, nanites and salvaged tech chips I can find, but is there a go-to method for them as of now? I was only able to find old and/or conflicting info so I’m crowd sourcing now.

5+. If there was something or some things that every traveler should know that vastly increases their capabilities, what would it be?

That’s all that comes to mind for now, I feel like I’ve been progressing pretty well, found a B class ship and upgraded it to where I’ll be happy with it till I find something that I actually like the look of, got the exotic multi tool which looks like a horror from the deep, and I’ve just been roaming around aimlessly. Loving this game way...

So I think I messed up the Expedition and need help getting back to the 1st Anchor point. [Question]

I have all but "Wake the Past" done from Iteration One, plus random milestones from the rest of the iterations. But I wasn't figuring out how to get that so XD vlast one till I looked it up and realized I was suppose to use the Memory Resonator on the planet with the first anchor point. I'm at the second anchor point, but without glyphs, I'm not sure how to travel back effectively. I'm not super experienced with this game, so any help is appreciated.

First time playing ends in a crash [Bug]

I just played No Man's Sky for the first time. Really started to fall in love. Exploring, cataloguing. Crafting and building. Three hours in and then the game crashed when I pressed the volume up button on my keyboard and I lost nearly 45 minutes of all that crafting and cataloguing. I wish the game sucked, because then I wouldn't feel so heartbroken about it. I put off playing this game for years because I was afraid of having a bad experience.

A little help? [Question]

I'm hoping someone can help me out here. I seem to be completely stuck on the Awakenings mission. The mission says "The trail has gone cold, speak to people on the space station" There is nobody on the space station to talk to about the signals so I can't progress on the mission. is this a common bug? is there some kind of fix for this? I've been playing this game for a few days now doing the secondary missions and racked up about 15 mil and made a sweet base in the starting system. I finally decided to start doing the main missions and can't even leave the system because the hyperactive is lock behind this quest, so no anomaly either. Before anyone asks, yes I have the mission selected in the log. That's not the issue. Do I just need to start over or ?

What happens when you move to a new Galaxy. [Question]

I feel like I should know since I have 400+ hours for game play so far. But I don’t, I play NMS on and off. I’ll play it just to see the new up dates and explore Euclid Galaxy, play it for a month and then stop: I have done a lot in NMS 45.5 billion units, 200,000 nanites, 6 ships 3 are fully upgraded S class, a decent A class freighter, and over 50 explored planets.

What happens to my multi-weapon, ships and freighter? Do I loose all of those as well?

What will happen to all my bases and currency (units and nanites)

Can I travel back to previous galaxy?

Craft Emeril Drive with Indium Drive Blueprint [Question]

Just came back to the gane after a reasonably long break and immediately bought the Blueprint for an Indium Drive before realising that I don't actually get around to building the Emeril Drive beforehand.

So I have somewhat of a dilemma on my hands, I currently cannot install an Emeril Drive into my ship in order to get to a green star and farm Emeril for an Inium Drive as the only Drive that is listed to be available for install is an Indium Drive.

So is there some sort of workaround that will allow me to install an Emeril Drive or am I gonna have to find some sort of workaround?

No Man's Sky VR will not Launch in VR. [Question]

Hello everybody, I recently bought NMS for the sole purpose of playing it in VR. However, every time I try to launch VR it does not work. This is what I've tried so far:

  • Run through Steam VR launcher

  • Start with headset on and off

  • Changed from the link cable to Air Link

  • Graphics drivers are fully updated

  • I have only one monitor and only one GPU

  • I have tried putting -hmdenable 1 in launch options

  • I have validated the steam files

  • I have uninstalled and reinstalled the game multiple time

  • I have uninstalled and reinstalled SteamVR multiple times

  • I have fully uninstalled Steam and reinstalled it

My PC specs are:

  • AMD Ryzen 5 3600 6-Core Processor GHz

  • 16 GB of RAM

If anyone has any tips on what to do I'd appreciate them immensely, it's getting a bit frustrating haha.

Is it possible to get a system freighter later? [Question]

Hey, guys.

I am on my 2nd play. Originally, I went for the unique-appearance capital freighter in my first play after declining the first one because I got a C class. Wanted at least a B class.

After spending about 50 hours ish on the first play, I've come to think that system freighters look more unique actually, but I couldn't seem to get any system freighter to pop up after I got my freighter. It's been all capital class freighters ever since.

So, I am thinking that, once you pass up the first system freighter, that is it.

Is that so?

NMS Expedition Crashing Resolution [Information]

Greetings travelers.

So I just came back to NMS after years and attempted to do the exploration. I can play single player just fine but I noticed that any time the game normally saves in expedition it would crash. I scoured the web for info and people seem to think it was multiplayer that was the problem. However, I play with multiplayer off so I knew that wasn't it.

I did find a fix. I went into my network options and toggled multiplayer on, then off. I also turned EVERYTHING in there off. I did this without leaving the screen all at once and it seems to have done the trick. Perhaps it was the network toggling of multiplayer? Or perhaps it was the unique combination of turning everything off at once. Either way I'm sure this information will be helpful to some of you. The expedition was literally unplayable before I did this.

Good luck!

No Man's Sky is fun, however... [Suggestion]

Now don't get me wrong, I LOVE No Man's Sky! The game is super fun and I love playing with my friends. HOWEVER, multiplayer has had quite a few issues lately with me and u/dragoncat05. Lots of bugs & game crashes have occured. For example, often whenever I'm in the bridge or whatever of my friend's frighter, and we just warped to another system, whenever I tried to leave the bridge room and head to my starship, it would send me through the freighter itself and I'd be falling back and forth for what felt like forever until I quit to mode select.

Hello Games, you've made an absolute masterpiece of a game, but please do fix the many, many bugs in multiplayer 🙏🙏🙏 thank you.

PSA after reports of a certain player killing others in Expedition 7 at the space anomaly. [Information]

If you suffer an unnecessary death like this during the expedition and don't want to lose hours of progress: the moment you die, if you can manage to hard quit the game before the "death is not the end yada blah peepee poopoo" message fades away from the screen, your save won't be overwritten to start from the beginning and you will start from the last auto-save. This works hassle free on Xbox Series X, don't know about Steam, gog or PS versions. You can at least practice the quick reflex shutdown before death, and hope it works on your platform. PSA over.

[Expedition 7] Tired of getting installable tech you don't want? Install it [Information]

The game won't give you an installable tech module again if it sees you have it installed in your active MT or starship. Get yourself a crap MT (C class rifles are good because they have a lot of slots) and dismantle everything but the mining beam to free up every slot. Get yourself a crap starship with a decent amount of slots--an A class explorer works fine.

When you have a bunch of modules to open, switch to your crap MT and starship. If you get an installable you don't want, install it in the MT or starship. If you do want it, switch to your main MT or starship, install it, and switch back.

Just make sure to switch to the crap MT and starship before you bulk-open memories and you'll have everything you want fairly quickly. After that, all you'll get from memories are modules.

Hope that helps someone.

Expedition 7 Tips/Lessons Learned/Discoveries from a New Player [Information]

I had only about 13 hours in a Normal NMS save before jumping into the Leviathan expedition. Because of that, much of what I've learned about the game, I've learned in while playing the expedition. I've now played through it 3 times, you'll maybe see why as I explain things I've learned. The class of solar ship and multi-tool you start with are upgraded by community progress. The same milestones that upgrade memory fragment class also impact your ship and tool on a new save. As I write this a new save gets an S-Class Solar and Multi-tool. It will be interesting to see what changes, if anything, when we hit the X-Class milestone. They seem to start with the same number of inventory slots though... Inventory expansion memory fragments are randomized. I didn't figure this out until the third playthrough. Because it is random whether it applies to exosuit, ship, or tool, you can save scum to get it to expand what you want. And since exosuit expansions are pretty easy to come by, it makes sense to reload to get expansions applied to other things. On my last run-through, I got most of my exosuit expansions from drop pods after finding a terminal at someone's base selling large stacks of drop pod coordinate data (~50). You can back out of inventory expansion to get a 5-stack of the corresponding normal expansion items. On PlayStation I press 'circle' to back out, dunno what it is on other systems. You get a stack of "Starship Storage Augmentation" items, or "Multi-Tool Expansion Slot". So if you don't like your starting solar but haven't found a good replacement yet, you can save those for the ship you really want. There's an S-Class 24-slot rifle tool on the starter planet. Someone has built a base at the minor settlement where it is available for sale. On my latest expedition save, I'm using this tool as my scan/mining tool and the starter as my combat...

I'm sure it's a sentiment thats been mentioned already, but I want to give some love to the RNG element that makes this expedition a fun rogue-like experience rather than just a modified permadeath campaign.

Quick note for anyone who doesn't play rogue-likes: RNG (Random Number Generator) in general for gaming just means an element that is random and not controllable. In rogue-likes randomness is added into each run through some mechanic that is randomized. In Dead Cells, you'll see this in the weapons offered through the game. In Hades, the boons act as the random variable. In both games their RNG elements can completely change your playstyle. It can also lead to runs with weak builds because the RNG fails to mesh with your choices, such as in Hades where you could end up with a bunch of disparate boons that don't play off eachother at all. But that rush from when you adapt the RNG element and make your character powerful can make a run much more fun. This element isn't for everyone, but it's usually what makes great rogue-likes stand out.

Anyways, My real love for this expedition that has made it replayable for me is the RNG element of the memory fragments. Especially with how it's not true RNG in that once you have the random weapon you were able to get, your upgrades from memory fragments are for that weapon. At first stripping me of my control to power myself up seemed frustrating. One run could grant me 2 thruster upgrades allowing me to essentially not worry about takeoffs and landings, then the next only gives me the recharger by loop 3 making me excessively stingy with landing anywhere that didn't have a dock. Soon though, I realized how fun it was to figure out ways to make up for where RNG shafted me. For example, on the run with no launcher upgrades, I'd land and use the minotaur heavily and getting more acquainted with it after only using it on...

A way to inspect mods without having to install them. [Suggestion]

I am a mild hoarder when it comes to mods especially with the new /? sentinel mods and the X classes, but I encounter one issue very often; needing to install the mods to see the stats (requiring a free slot in your MT for ex.) I think it would be a good addition to either have a place in the space station or nexus you can go to like a "Tool inspector" that could reveal the hidden stats to you (for a small price depending on tier/type) to help you get the best statted items without having to have a free spot all the time. Or if that's a bit too complex to add, maybe just a one time use item that you can craft with that reveals the item in your general inventory without needing to instantly apply it.

Not sure if anyone else has this issue but I do and imo I'd use that very frequently lol. Also if anyone has made this suggestion before I'm sorry if it sounds like i'm poaching the idea, i've never looked at suggestions before and no harm was or is meant! I'd love to hear further thoughts though :) .

Missing Anchor Point 4 - Request for Help [Question]

Working on expedition 7 and somehow I didn't meet the requirement for reaching Anchor Point 4, even though I found the corpse marker/memory. I guess I missed finding the portal gate first.

This planet is giving me a lot of difficulty. Zealous Sentinels, making it impossible to fly closer to a target and land, instead of traveling 1k by foot. I don't know why, but I can't seem to land when there's Sentinels triggered on me. Constant storms that I can only survive in for a couple of minutes.

Is there any way to find the exact location before landing? Is anyone able to hop on with me and help me complete this one?

Well that was a learning experience... [Information]

So I was minding my own business, looking at oranges and bananas, when two pigeons... Hold up, wrong story.

I was exploring this neat looking shattered planet, there were Sentinels despite the description saying nothing about Sentinel activity, when a storm arrived. I didn't think much about it even though I thought that storms never occurred on Exotic planets, and was heading back to my ship to grab supplies for my small base. There were weird purple balls in the air so I boosted up to see if I could touch one. It disappeared before I got to it and I was out of jetpack fuel. I noticed that I was high up and thought that this gravitational anomaly made it like an airless planet, so I was having a grand time falling. Only I was rushing faster than I thought and splat, I'm dead. Note to self: never jetpack during an Exotic storm.

Do Mutant Plants respawn? (or how long) [Question]

I know for sure that Curious Deposits respawn, when going back and forth by 500m. But I was wondering if Mutant Plants (the one that drops a bunch of Radon/Sulphurine) respawn, or at least how long, because I can't seem to consistently respawn them.

The Radon variant sometimes pop back whenever I visit after a whole has passed, so that one definitely does respawn. But I'm wondering how long it actually takes for the timer to reset, and whether it's client or server sided?

Also, do other yellow-star marked resources respawn as well? (e.g. floating crystals, clams)

Speculation on the story to me so far [Discussion]

Speaking on the races, according to me what I gathered from playing are all the races have done bad things.

The Gek seem like jerks and were really bad at one time, but somehow redeemed themselves. Now they are just merchants.

The Korvax are okay and had a rough go at it, they were used for their nanites in the most brutal way.

The Vykeen seem like mindless brutes on the surface but actually have the most moral out of all of them. They at least hold their honor and pride to such high regard they will die, or kill over it.

They're the favorite of mine of the three.

Then there is the Sentinels and just noticed it seems they have their own consciousness. I came aware of this after the Sentinel Pillars. Sounds like they were happy in the beginning, but were forced to be a tangent being from a once non-physical form with a conscious and liked their solitude.

I'm guessing it was the Atlas that was responsible for that in order to maintain a balance, or a type of authority in the galaxies of NMS. The Sentinels were not happy about that, but are controlled by some hive mind.

After rebuilding my first Sentry and Mech, I got some background on how it seems the Sentinels are capable of having their own free will. It made me think all of the other Sentinels that could be 'freed'.

Makes me wonder about the Atlas, it seems to be the one pulling all strings and manipulating all the lives of all the other races. After my first reset, it seemed the Atlas is some kind of AI controlling a simulation that is NMS. Despite the kind of intelligence the Atlas may have, seems to have a vulnerable side.

What I could see the story going from here is somehow getting all other races other than the Sentinels to side with the Sentinels and rise against the Atlas. 'Free' the Sentinels and start some civil war with the Atlas.

I'd imagine it's gonna be more complicated...

tl;dr: I see mods get outlines when you put them near other similar mods/the thing they modify. I also noticed that it seems to matter how they are arranged. i.e. Exact same mods but switch the position of two and the DPS of my multitool drops.

What's with all the hopping phalli?! [Discussion]

Sometimes when I'm playing the game, I get Spore flashbacks. Where 12 year old boys designed all their creatures based on one thing. I know the creatures are "randomized" but I swear 96% of the creatures are a variation of a hopping "member." It's a bit ridiculous. Also, on my current, temporary home planet, there are spongebobesque pineapples just jumping around everywhere. There is no greater disappointment than finding a seemingly perfect planet, dropping a base computer, then 30 seconds later seeing a knee high Johnson totter by.

I've seen images of beautiful and strange creatures, from plated quadrupeds, ceratopsian bipeds, massive hovering beetles, but any planet I land on, it's hopping horndogs, flapping phalli, jumping Johnsons, wiggling weiners, or as one might expect, swinging dicks.

One of the best ways to make money [Information]

Money is a really important thing in NMS, but its quite a grind

Below is a list on how to make TONS of units very quickly via pirating freighters.

REQUIRED ITEMS

A starship

Shields

LOTS of cargo space

RECOMMENDED ITEMS

Phase beam + Upgrades

Lots of sodium so you can recharge shields

​

To start, You must choose a species you do Not care about (mine is vykeen)

Go to the species' dominant systems and find a freighter.

Begin shooting the cargo pods, Ignore the sentinels.

You can use the phase beam to shoot and regain shields from the sentinels

​

Once you are done, go sell all of your stolen goodies at a space station/Trade terminal

Ship type bonuses [Question]

An exotic that I hate the look of, a white ball with 3 large fins that fold into one in flight and a S Class Explorer that I forget the original name of, but it looks like a wedge heeled shoe sandwiched between two Warthog engines. I'm not a fan of this one either, but it's the best of the two, so I've been upgrading it.

I noticed that it's got massive jump range, with a few low grade mods, I'm at 800ly. But when upgrading the cargo, I capped out at 24 slots. It made me wonder, what is it that makes each body type unique? Are haulers and maybe solar the only ones with 24 cargo?

A hopeful thought [Suggestion]

We should have the option of getting to view our old characters like a graveyard and review what we did with them. Kind of like a diary that they wrote and was the last piece of them that could be found. Specifically for permadeath. More specifically, we see how they died. MORE specifically, we get to see the name of the person that killed us while they are in their minotaur in the anomaly so we can report them. I mean, not that I read the terms of service but I feel that using an exploit to grief other players and wipe their saves because permadeath sounds to me like it's grounds for an instant ban.

Questions in preparation for going to the center of the galaxy. [Question]

I’m back again, and I’ve just gotten the main quest telling me to go to the center of the galaxy! Exciting, exciting, the only thing now is to get up to date info about what I need to know! So I’m back to crowd sourcing. Please be advised, I did google this stuff, but the most recent result I got was from 3 years ago.. so I’m a little worried it’s out of date.

I saw that it is advisable to bring a ship and multi tool that you don’t care about, as they will get busted once you get to the center. I just got my first exotic ship earlier (funny story, I got it, used a portal to go to another station and saw a blue squid ship at that station.. didn’t have the credits to buy it though) and so I want to basically confirm that I should not be using my exotic multi tool or ship when going to the center.

I read that following the Atlas path will give you a choice of what kind of galaxy to go to, which is super vague! Is it just gonna give me like 3-4 options using one or two defining words, or how does that work? I want to go somewhere really awesome to explore after Euclid, after all.

I am so confused by what I’ve seen about being able to travel back to Euclid after you go to the new galaxy! I’ve seen yes and no, and you can’t use gates, but you can use a space station teleporter? And I’ve seen people saying you just flat out can’t? What’s the deal?

As it stands, I have not finished the Atlas path. I’m planning on finishing it before I go to the center, but is there anything else that needs to be finished first? Or anything that might impact it or anything?

Any other tips?

6ish. (Unrelated, sorry) what does NEXT stand for?

Thanks in advance, this game is amazing and I’m trying to navigate it as well as I can.

Finished Expedition 7 - It’s not as bad as you think. There are lots of ways to ensure you don’t die [Suggestion]

I finished Expedition 7 last night. The first time I died was during Phase 3 when I had to collect whispering eggs. I was able to find a whispering egg farm that someone set up. I used the Minotaur heavily since so many planets for this expedition had lots of storms. When you go into derelict freighters, you absolutely need to be patient and let your shield restore. After a combat encounter just sit and wait by a heater until your shield comes back, you can die easily by having too many consecutive combat encounters.

Tips and Questions. [Information]

Just want some input on the game.

Is like some more tips as I’ve recently started playing again in like 6 or 7 years. I’ve already gained a lot of money from selling chlorine and got a decent ship. I just want some recommendations on what I should be doing now I’m basically kinda like on my “own” now. Would be very appreciated.

And some questions.

Has anyone named a galaxy or planet, just to be reverted back to the original name mere moments later? Every planet and galaxy has done that for me and it’s mad annoying. And it’s only those as well, fauna and other shit doesn’t do that.

And if anyone wants to play with me I’m fully down. Don’t usually play with other people cause of anxiety and all that good shit, but this game seems hella fun with other people. Just keep in mind my Steel Series headset isn’t compatible with my XB1.

Thanks.

Why do people build bases on planets found by others? [Question]

I added relevant information (list of starships, list of multi-tools, etc) of my home star system to the NMSWiki. The star system is not advertised as a civilization hub.

Soon, people built two very helpful bases: one for the S-level multitool shop, the other for a beautiful trade outpost perfect for ship hunting.

But it does not end here: soon I discovered more bases are getting built. Many were left with bare minimum stuff (nothing but a teleporter, for example), serving neither utilitarian nor aesthetic purposes as far as I can tell.

Obviously I do not "own" the star system I discovered, and I am more than welcome when people build bases here.

However, I want to understand what people think about when they do so. Building a base on a star system I did not discover and serving no obvious purpose is an idea that had never occurred to me, so I am having a hard time trying to understand what people are thinking when they do this.

And I also wonder what are the common modes of communication to talk to those people -- using message module for this is a bit weird.

Could people give me some thoughts on this?

Thanks!

My wish list is short, what are your opinions? [Suggestion]

Please forgive me if these things have been corrected in the last year or so. I haven't been playing much lately but have been around since launch. I have been reflecting on why I don't play more and it boils down to my limited amount of time and resource management. I want to do the things and still have a challenege, but not worry about restocking and stopping to recharge all the time.

Let me buy/build mods (mid/end game) that refuel/recharge my ship/toon automatically.

Warn me when I'm low on the resources to refuel instead of when I'm tragically out and need them.

Let me turn off/toggle stuff in single player (before the game loads in) thst won't break the game (like Ghost Recon Breakpoint) and not turn them back on/off after the fact. I don't want rideable fauna, honestly it's pretty immersion shattering for me, I think it's no better than mounts in WoW. I want to make certain parts of the game harder, and others nonexistent

I would also like more hostile challenges (dead space?) that are surprising and not only when I accidentally step on the things or go near the other things.

Make ship types mean something, eve-online does this well. My hauler should be able to tank pirates for a while, my eco solar ship shouldn't ever run out of fuel, my fighter should burn fuel like racecar, my shuttle should be undetectable with limited inventory.

Should I start new? [Suggestion]

I been on and off with this game for a while and the inconsistent amount of play I have makes me feel like I've missed out on a lot of the update. For starters I've had this character since 2017. Played a bit with friends and progressed some story missions then stopped playing till late 2019. Stopped playing again till 2020 and once again stopped playing till last week.

It feels like I've done a lot and I'm on The Purge part of one of the story missions and I'm so close to getting a living shit just need the glyphs but everything else I've missed out on. I have a couple of scattered bases, a B class star freighter and a few mediocre ships. But my quest log feel overwhelming and grinding the last part of this story mission is really grinding.

So should I make a new character and lose everything or just try to stick it out? I was also told by someone that I'd need to make a new character for something in the most recent update.

​

Thank you for your time!

Got killed in permadeath by someone random while entering the anomaly. :( [Bug]

Hi, I'm a returning player to NMS. A few days ago I returned to the game and started my first permadeath save, I knew that if I died I would lose all progress, but I didn't know that I could get killed inside of the anomaly by another player, Is this some sort of bug?

The player that killed me was using the mecha and I didn't stand a chance since I was killed while my ship was still entering. I guess that because my save was just 4/5 hours of play time is not too bad but it doesn't seem fair.

Returning player, how much multiplayer is there in the game? [Question]

Just started playing again since like 2016 or 2017. Lots of new stuff and it’s cool, I know they added multiplayer but I want to know how much or to what extent.

I know there’s player hub things for trading or something, but can I find players out exploring the galaxy on my own? Can I find player bases?

Are there better galaxies than others? [Question]

Hello, as the title says.

Are there better galaxies than others?

2 days ago I just warped to my second galaxy: Hilbert dimension.

I have been traveling for 2 days in this galaxy and it is probably my taste, but I saw only one ship that looked good for me. Every planet and solar system I traveled to always have something to remove the fun of going in or on them. Sentinels all over the place, ugly colors, ugly ships, ugly planets, and the ones that seems to be good to visit all of a sudden it is raining non stop and the visibility is null, etc, etc.

In real life I have bad luck, so maybe it on my side, but is it because I am on a certain side of the galaxy and I should try to fly to the other side and things will get better. Should I just try to warp to another galaxy right away because even on NMS coordinates I never saw a post of a find in that galaxy?

Any tip is appreciated have a good day.

quick question about expeditions and new stuff ingame [Question]

Hello fellow travelers.

I just came back after a 2years and I hooked my brother too. Its all so fun, Im happy to be here again, except the multiplayer/group bugs all the time lol.

So I just heard about expeditions here, I tried to google some infos, but Im still confused. I have to start a new game to do them, it seems clear. My questions are: can I go back and do the past expeditions too? I see some pretty cool rewards for completing any of them, but I dont get it how you keep them. Is the new game I created is permanent? Do I have the rewards on that specific save only or can I use them on the previous one?

Curious what you guys think a good layout would be for modules and upgrades? I've been searching youtube but thought I'd ask here as well.

Please throw in some screenshots of your set-up if you can! Or links to your favorite guides :)

Sprint mouse sensitivity reduction ? [Question]

I just bought the game few days ago and i was surprised when i run out of desk space while sprinting and looking around.

I didn't find any settings option that would change it, not even in the option file. Google was redirecting me to anything but NMS (mainly Destiny and Outriders) and Hello Games support is not responding.

So is there something i can do about it - for example a mod ?

Waypoints on PS4 [Question]

Hi all, I had no idea how to ask this question, so I made a quick video for it here (https://youtu.be/5sxmnUPMQ60). I'm just getting back into the game after a very long (5ish year) break due to all the bugs and everything.

Mainly I'm asking.

Why are my waypoints not going to the correct system?

Is there a way to clear a waypoint you create in the Discovery tab?

If waypoints on PS4 are broken, how long has it been broken and will it ever be fixed?

I think that's it. Any help getting back home is appreciated. I know I can just teleport everywhere but, if that's how the game was meant to be played, teleporters would have been in the initial game release (they weren't) and we wouldn't really need spaceships =\

Colliding planets [Suggestion]

From a previous post, talking about the game being able to test for and detect clipping, like when you get stuck inside an object; had me thinking about collision detection and then two colliding planets.

Currently, it is a rare event and nothing happens visually except that the two textures intersect and overlap. But interactions with gameplay is pretty bizarre and kinda cool.

Although, what might be interesting visually, beside two planets looking like two bubbles that join surfaces, is if it looked liked two planets broke themselves apart by colliding.

That could happen if when two planets are intersecting, the game could detect that collision and I have two ideas for what the game could do.

First is create a sheering, or fracture that buffers the planet surfaces apart from another so they don't necessary touch, but the boundaries are still pretty close. Then create a dense ring of debris, to represent a collision took place. Pieces of varying size, from the usual starship sized asteroid to gigantic mountain sized pieces. They could have some pieces that are destructible and some that are not and just a permanent structure.

The other idea is kind of the same as above, but looks different. Instead of a ring of debris around the boundaries, the planets are mostly destroyed and broken up. But the debris creates a curved funnel shape between the two planets. As if the gravity is pulling each one apart and creates almost a bridge of debris.

I think it would a pretty cool thing to see as a rare event.

As far as how the other mechanics would behave with sheered faces and large debris all around it, I'm not sure.

Perhaps the gravity would be weak, the atmosphere would be destroyed, but still be able to land on.

Asking for a friend. When you're doing something like playing an expedition and someone's got a base next to a structure/resource you need to use and you report it to get rid of it. Does it remove it for everyone and even the person that created it, or does it just remove the base for you (make it vanish) and not for the player that made it?

Are freighter upgrade modules additive or multiplicitive? [Question]

For example, say there's a frigate mission with a "base duration" of 24 hours, and I have 3 mods that increase expedition speed by 15% each.

Does it:

A) reduce the time by a flat 45%, decreasing the mission duration to 13.2 hours

or

B) reduce the initial time by 15% (to 20.4 hours), reduce the resulting time by 15% (17.3 hours) and then reduce that time by 15% to 14.7 hours?

It's obviously not a huge deal on short expeditions, but it made me wonder since it could potentially eliminate the need for a 6th command room if the really long missions could be shortened to >24 hours . Also, how many can you stack? Could you theoretically slot in 6 of them and increase expedition speed by 90%?

Perhaps more importantly, how do the calculations work for the fuel efficiency mods? Could you stack several of those and reduce fuel cost by 80-90%?

Dam heat storms.... [Discussion]

Two weeks of casually cruising through expedition gathering lots of credits and nanites to such a point where I had 2 solar S class starships and a second S class multi-tool.

During iteration 4, I got caught in a heat storm so I rush to get back to my trusty ship. Just as luck would have it I fall down a hill and gently use my jetpack to get to the top. Just as I reach the top the jetpack boost kicks in flinging me into the air where this raging heat storm throws me back down the hill and wouldn't you know it... dead by falling

Is it just me or do storm crystals spawn way less often after you’ve harvested a certain number from a planet? [Question]

I always get excited when I find a planet with storm crystals because selling them is a great way to make quick cash. However, I’ve noticed that the more of them I harvest, the less frequently they spawn in large groups.

When I first arrive on an extreme radiation planet they spawn in groups of 3-5 frequently enough to harvest a few dozen of them within the space of one storm. That is, if you’re quick about it. After a few harvests, however, they just stop spawning in large groups and eventually only spawn one at a time. This barely makes it worth the starship launch fuel it takes to zip around and continue harvesting them.

Is this an intentional limit set by the devs or is it just a coincidence? As someone who doesn’t get much into the base-building/farming aspect of this game I feel like it’s kind of an arbitrary way of limiting the amount of money a player can make like this (if it’s intentional that is). Would the games balance be very thrown off if this wasn’t the case?

Universal Portal Idea… [Discussion]

So what if there were other Universes in NMS?

Ones that were completely different than the current one.

I’d think they’d have to be smaller, maybe one galaxy that could be 5 times bigger than a normal one, or just have five galaxies in the Universe. Something that.

Each universe completely different, maybe one with just metal plants and robot creatures, one where the sentinels have completely gone rogue and destroyed all living life and aggressive and are everywhere planets, space and maybe space stations, etc.

To get to the other universe there could be one universal portal in each galaxy that you can use, but it is random each time you use it. So you never know where you are going.

This portal could be on a planet with no glyphs, on a special space station somewhere than moves every 24 hours or weekly. So you have to search for it and can’t portal to it. Or it could be a continuation of the Atlas quest line.

Once you get to the new Universe it should be difficult to get back, unless you can make a base. But each universe would have a special material that you need to find so you can sync into the Universe frequency to be able to make the base computer. So you would have to do a small quest line to be able to build your base.

Thoughts…maybe if they ever make NMS2 or do a paid DLC…

I have started one or two of the expeditions before but only ever got as far as a ship trail before stopping but something about this expedition just had me on the edge of my seat at all times. I've only ever played normal before so the extra challenge just made to game way more fun for me. im gonna start a permadeath run and see how the real deal goes. Any tips from perma death veterans?

Total newb - better to start learning with normal game or do the Expedition first? [Question]

I've been interested in the game for a while, but have never played it (or even watched a video of gameplay) The Expedition caught my eye and I decided now was the time to jump in on my Series X while it's on Game Pass.

So, is it better to do a few dozen hours (too high? too low?) learning in the regular game first, or should I just jump into the expedition and do my learning there?

Any fix for a save not loading? [Question]

I'm playing on Xbox if that makes any difference. The issue first started in my Xbox One and now I've upgraded to an Xbox Series S and downloaded the Series S optimized version of the game but it keeps happening.

My main game won't load. I select it and it goes through the loading screen flying through the stars and the game just crashes back to the Xbox home screen.

I've started another game and load that save with no problems. But I don't want to have to start over.

Is there any known fix for this?

Thanks.

Frame pacing / frame timing microstutters on RTX 3070 (Nvidia) but not on Steam Deck (AMD) [Question]

I'd love to return to this game, it's one of my all-time favorites. But I'm perplexed by the constant microstutters and "twitches" when panning the camera when playing on my PC with an RTX 3070.

All drivers are up to date, frame rate is solid at 60fps, and Vsync is ON triple buffered, and I'm only running it at 1080p. In-game settings don't seem to make a difference. It feels like there's frame pacing "jitter" at random intervals . I don't remember this being a problem with my 2070 Super, but that was a long time ago.

If this was a pure performance issue, that would be one thing.

But what's interesting is that I also loaded the game up on my Steam Deck, which uses an AMD chip. Obviously the game does NOT run at a consistent 60fps on the Deck, but you can easily find areas of low complexity, like in space, where you can pan the camera around the asteroids.

In this scenario, the Deck also holds a solid 60fps, but the microstutters are NOT present, and I'm not using any kind of frame capping on the device - using the same in-game Vsync and FPS settings as the PC.

Anyone have insight on this? The game never used to be this janky, but if it was truly bad optimization from all the updates, then wouldn't that present on the Steam Deck as well?

Add NPCs to your base? [Discussion]

I would love it if we could add NPCs to our bases. I’ve seen a ton of builds like cities, recently an art gallery etc where it could use some life.

Question about freighters [Question]

So basically I just started and since I got to the second star system this one freighter with a bunch of ships keeps following me. Every time I jump with the hyper drive thing or even just fly a distance away regularly they follow me. Is this normal? Why won’t they leave me alone lol I’m too broke to buy it and it keeps making my screen shake every time I exit a hyper drive jump. Not really a big deal but just wondering why they don’t leave me alone.

Strage astoroid wall that noones seems to know about. [Discussion]

So around a year ago a made a post on this sub asking  about something strange I encountered while playing but no one seemed to know what it was and it seems to have never been documented anywhere on the internet before.

So after I had gotten the warp core (or whatever it's called I haven't played in nearly a year) I got very curious and wanted to know what would happen if I warped in a random direction to see if I could reach a different solar system without using the map warp. After a couple of minutes suddenly I'm forced out of the warp and come face to face with a massive asteroid wall, after a few minutes  a massive spaceship appears behind me and tells me that they 'knew what was beyond these walls and for a price could take me beyond it' but because if didn't have enough money they killed me.

Because I was now even more curious about this I decided to sell some stuff to get enough money to pay them, but when I returned to where I had died the asteroid wall was gone.

Does anyone know anything about this? Is it some secret noone has ever found? Cause I haven't been able to find any information about this anywhere?

Trading up freighters [Question]

TLDR at bottom of post.

Hi. I recently figured out how to land on freighters and purchased my first freighter plus one frigate after rescuing it(class B, 30 storage slots and I think about 109 hyperdrive range). Within hours I saw another fleet of freighters and killed a privateer. I noticed a bunch of "recruitable frigates" and recruited 3 more, bringing my frigate total to 4. I also noticed I could board another freighter, so I did and it was also up for sale. It was a class A with only 19 slots but like 150 hyperdrive range. I wanted to upgrade to a class A but I was afraid for 2 reasons. I wasn't sure what would happen to my frigates, and it had a significantly lower listed value then mine. If I had bought it would I have lost my frigates? Also if I hang onto my class B freighter will it eventually level up to class A? I saw on a YouTube tutorial that my frigates would level up with use and I am wondering if my class B freighter would also eventually level up.

TLDR: 1)Do I lose my frigates if I swap freighters?

  1. Do freighters level up with use? Can I upgrade their class for nanites or units?

3)Should I stick with my lower class freighter that has a decent amount of slots or always trade for the higher class freighter, higher level hyperdrive or both?

Black screen on exit... [Question]

Getting very frustrated with the random bug where, when you exit to desktop, your monitor turns off and goes to sleep like it's unplugged from the PC. Meanwhile, Windows runs fine (I stayed on TS3 chatting while trying hotkeys like switching monitors (I only have the one right now) or changing resolutions. It's like the game tells the GPU to stop outputting video. This has affected me on dual GTX 1070's in SLI on 7 Pro 64bit, an RTX 2080 Ti on 10 Pro 64bit, and an RTX 3080 Ti on 10 Pro 64bit.

Is anybody familiar with this bug? My only options when this occurs are to tap the power button on the tower and wait for it to shutdown, then reboot it, or to use the hotkey to reboot Windows. This only occurs with NMS.

What self-imposed rules do you play by that make the game more fun for you? [Discussion]

SHORT VERSION: I'm new to the game, loving it, and I'm making a rule for myself that I won't use any known location information to skip the exploration factor. Gotta look online to figure out how lots of things work, but when I find that amazing ship or planet or creature I want it to be something that i found myself. What self-imposed rules do YOU play by to keep things fun?

​

I'm new to NMS, and honestly it's been perfect that I started at the same time as the Leviathan expedition. It was just the right amount of challenge to push me into the game in a big way. I just finished up the expedition, unlocked my sweet new frigate (first frigate that I only have the vaguest idea what to do with), and now I'm letting myself loosen up and explore the universe a bit.

I don't like spoilers, but as I tried to learn, I've let myself search Reddit and the Wiki to figure out some of the less obvious game mechanics. However I realized that, even if it means I can get something really interesting and cool out of it, I don't want to use any of the information out there about where to find cool stuff. I feel like the prospect of finding cool things on my own is a HUGE draw of this game to me.

So I've resolved that, even if I were to see something super sweet and incredible posted with coordinates to go get it myself and everything, I'm not going to give in to that temptation. Everything I have and see I want to find myself. I do this in a lot of games. No fast-travel Skyrim. Nuzlocke runs in Pokemon. This got me wondering about what kind of rules you all play by. I'm 6 years behind on this game, the community, and all the cool stuff you do. Fill me in and help me catch up!

Some Contingency Plans in case you get Permadeath Griefed. (PC/Steam) [Suggestion]

Steam has the ability to see your previous save files on the Steam Cloud.

Link: here

You can download any save as long as steam has not synced and overwritten your files. You can also snag a copy of your save files for safe keeping prior to getting griefed.

PCGamingWiki will show you where to put the files in case you need to revert saves back.

Save File Locations:

Windows: \Binaries\SETTINGS\

Microsoft Store: %LOCALAPPDATA%\Packages\HelloGames.NoMansSky_bs190hzg1sesy\LocalCache\Local\Microsoft\WritablePackageRoot\Binaries\SETTINGS

Steam on Linux: /steamapps/compatdata/275850/pfx/

Im not sure how NMS works on XB or PS but if i remember correctly there is the ability to save your games on a USB stick or external HDD.

Until this issue is fixed, MAKE BACKUPS OF YOUR SAVES. There is NO REASON to take the chance and lose all of your progress.

ALSO: If you get killed, DO NOT CLOSE NMS OR STEAM UNTIL YOU HAVE RETRIEVED THE SAVE FILE. Closing NMS will cause steam to sync and overwrite the last save file.

Navigate in browser to the backup location and take the most recent save file. I have tested this multiple times (On Linux) and i was able to recover save files immediately after dying in permadeath by doing this. STILL MAKE A BACKUP PRIOR.

Dont lose hundreds of hours of progress, go get your saves right now and back them up. This may be a thing for quite a bit, so keep your save files close.

Sorry i dont know much about consoles as I havent played on one since the early 2000's, but Im sure someone out there can add below this post for PS/XB.

Good luck everyone!

Regarding the surge of griefers in Permadeath Anomaly [Bug]

There's recently been a surge of griefers getting their mech in the anomaly and killing people.

What makes it possible is the loading zone box at the very back corridor of Anomaly leading to the blueprint shops. It's incorrectly scaled and doesn't touch the ceiling, allowing people to jetpack over it and fly out of anomaly with their jetpack. This leaves the anomaly interior loaded in space. (Been like that since 2019 but only recently discovered by griefers)

They will then fly to their nearby parked freighter, place down minotaur geobay with base building limits disabled and fly it back to the still loaded Anomaly to cause havock.

This issue is fairly easily fixable by scaling up the loading zone trigger box so that people can't clip out of anomaly.

A memorial for "The Anomaly Disaster" [Suggestion]

I've read the rules and understand, this post is here not to invite violence but to bring everyone together.

After hearing about this individual whose name I don't wish to be remembered, I've suggested that we(as the whole community) should build a memorial for all those on "Permadeath" who has lost their saves to the monster inside the Anomaly (a place we've alway consider a safe haven for all). Personally I don't consider myself skilled enough to build this memorial but I wish for the whole community to be able to visit it. After thinking about a way for everyone to be able to be apart of this I'd like to suggest a universal memorial designed by the communities and built at EACH community's chosen world to honor this horrible day I've been calling "The Anomaly Disaster". I also plead for as many names of innocent player's saves to be added to the memorials. If you know of someone who has lost a Permadeath save to this Disaster please let each community leader know.

As I said before I only wish to turn an absolutely disasterous situation into the most uniting thing No Man's Sky has ever done. I don't even care for credit if this idea I just wish for this to never happen again and for those who lost their saves to be remembered. Thank you for reading this if you did and I'm sorry for everyone who has this happen to them. This disaster has inspired me to want to push for this and to not let something like this ever happen again. 🌹

Is the fleet ever gonna get buffed? For example the freighter seems like it does no damage if it ever hits and the frigates also barely do damage to enemies. The squadron also doesn’t even do that much damage even tho I have an S class squadron with S class fighters.

Two days ago I was testing my Resurgent-class Star Destroyer at A class that I got on the same day and it barely does any damage if it even hits anything.

Are they ever gonna get buffed? At this point I just have them for the cool factor.

Need Freighter Base Inspiration [Question]

Hey Guys!

So I’ve seen so many cool looking bases while playing and on this sub and I keep trying to make cool bases such as one that starts above water and then connects to an underwater base but I couldn’t find a way to make it actually connect.

I then noticed some freighter bases but I look at the big open room that you start with and feel kinda lost.

Does anyone know where I can find some step by step base building videos to see what kind of layouts people go for and get the inspiration from there?

Any tips or ideas would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks travellers <3

Artemis sent me to talk to creature, immediately attacked by hostile sentries. [Question]

I don't know if this is a bug or if it's part of the Artemis quest I forgot about after doing it the last playthrough. When I get out of my ship on the planet Artemis sent me to talk to the creature (alien?) I'm attacked by several sentries. I could probably manage to kill them, but they'd likely summon more. It's an aggressive sentry planet, but not the worst kind of planet.

Was this intended by Hello Games? Is my game completely screwed? Could I try again in a different system or should I just start the whole savegame over?

Is "first wave" ship farming still a thing? [Question]

I've seen people say that you can reload saves and the first wave is suppose to be the same. I've had a few exotics in the first wave both planet side and in space stations but they never show up on reloads. Also the first wave seems to always be different. Is this still a thing or am I missing something?

Today I found a new way to die in Permadeath! [Information]

In the Anomaly I was in front of the "StarGate" testing if I could activate briefly Multiplayer mode to find a base in a new galaxy.

Indeed, I immediately got a few bases in the Anomaly tab, the first one being in Calypso a galaxy I still didn't visit in my Permadeath save.

I jumped to the base... Where I was immediately submerged by "Heat related damages" warnings even though I am sure to have at least 3 S class heat protection modules.

I was also apparently trapped in a dead base but I didn't take time to look around me as my health was going down VERY fast.

I could reload my last save before dying🥳 But it was a near miss!

So I went and accepted 2 missions, completed them all at once but when I return to the mission agent and report I still see the message that I completed 0/2 missions.

Ship building.... [Discussion]

Ok.. hear me out .... ship parts schematics for customization....

Could be obtained through missions, derelict freighters, pirate stations or off the tainted metal vendor depending on rarity.

You would use the the ship customization terminal on stations with the cost of nanites.

Parts would of course correspond to ship type, (no xwing haulers) for simplicity reasons. Also would have the ability to rotate the axis of parts.

*Not sure if the schematics would be consumed or learned like construction options.

No Man's Sky: Guild Envoys, a much-needed boost to guild involvement! [Suggestion]

I think we're missing out on a huge opportunity for some re-playability in the Mercenary, Merchants, and Explorer guilds.

​

We already have Expedition Mode which is a great incentive to keep us interested in goals via cosmetic rewards so I think it would be a great template for building onto the singleplayer guilds while also giving us some practical changes to set each guild(and the players) apart from each other.

​

You have your standard missions still at Space Stations only instead of doing a set amount for upgrading your standing with a specific guild, you gain Reputation(or whatever, a set value which works similarly to how we progress the Quicksilver tiers bar in the Anomaly) which works towards ranking yourself up in a guild. Once you do 5 or so missions and reach Rank 1, you become locked to that guild(ie. the other two won't give you missions for progressing the others) and your journey begins! You gain rep, do missions, and rank up until you reach the max rank. Once you get to the max rank and want to do one of the other two you go through missions with the pirates to wipe your identity and progress with your guild and begin back at square one.

​

Each rank-up awards a boost to a specific mechanic which aids in things related to the guild and unlocks more uses for frigates. Having an amount of one frigate could also boost the reputation gained from doing guild-related missions by a percentage like having 15 explorer frigates could boost your rep gains by a max of 15% and so-on.

(These values are based on Normal Mode so some, if not all, would be adjusted for Survival.)

Mercenary:

Rank 1 - +15% Squadron damage

Rank 2 - +1 extra squadron (technology installed to a ship so a specific squad will be summoned based on which ship you're currently flying)

Rank 3 - One random combat frigate...

1000+ hour save now only loads into a black screen. [Bug]

Last weekend I was scrapping a S-class and I noticed that while it was still visible before the game deleted it and replaced it with my ship, I had the option on screen to enter it. Curiosity got the best of me and I decided to see what would happen if I did. Game went haywire. Threw me out of the bottom of the space station in weird limbo like first person view. I was able to get to 3rd person view and fly down to the nearest planet but it was still wonky. When I exited my ship, the game crashed, but did manage to create an auto save. Now when I try to load the game all I get is a black screen.

If they're going to implement Ship Customization, this is how it should be done. [Suggestion]

There has been SO MUCH DEMAND for ship customization and I can totally understand why players want it so bad but I also understand why Hello Games has not implemented it and one of the big reasons for that is to keep people exploring their game. If you're just allowed to change the way your ship looks then it waters down the need to go out there and explore to find the ship you want, you'll spend less time on the community pages scouring for ships discovered by other players as well. Hello Games does not want this. What has been and forever shall be the guiding light in No Man's Sky is it's exploration. Seeing what's out there and what the game has to offer and Hello Games does not want to do anything to de-incentivize their players from exploring.

​

So, if they're going to do it, this is how it should be done:

​

Just being able to visit any space station and changing your ship is lacking in excitement so I think it should be a rare station(either on planet or in space) that we have to find in order to customize our ship. Why a rare one? Because the chances that you've picked up a few ships before finding one of these stations would be greater and finding one early in a new save when you have 1 or two ships would not be conducive to the mechanic as buying ships is expensive and you'd want to have a decent fleet going before wanting to permanently get rid of any.

​

Once you find one of these stations you land on a specific platform and get out of your ship. An NPC nearby can be interacted with which brings up the following options: "Deconstruct Ship," or "Customize Ship". The Customize Ship option does just that. It brings up a UI that would pretty much be the exact same as the UI for customizing the player character. Different tabs would be there for different parts, your ship would be locked to specific...

Returning player who forgot how to play. Advice? [Discussion]

You could also consider me a new player since I don't have the kind of hours in NMS that others do. I think I only have around 69 hours (very nice) in my main savegame, and around 4-5 hours in random saves I've made to effectively relearn the game every time there are major updates. So I was never very good at NMS to begin with. However, I do enjoy it quite a lot, but since I tend to pick it up after several version updates, I now feel incredibly lost.

For context, the last time I played heavily was Beyond. There isn't a reason for me dropping the game for so long other than "I hummingbird between games a lot." I usually play indie games that aren't too long and can be beaten in a week at most, so NMS being the game it is feels quite daunting to me. However, I love NMS for the unique experience, and there are a few things I want to achieve in it, so here's what I'd like some advice on...

​

  1. How do I play this game, again?

The tutorial always takes me around 3 hours to complete, but even setting aside that I'm willing to eat those hours if it means not losing my current save to a restart, there are now a lot of changes to the game the early-game help does not cover and I was probably halfway through the campaign during Beyond. There have been SO many changes to the game since then that I can't even remember how my current gun works. (It's a grenade launcher I... think? And I also think I had more guns from playing a little bit of Oranges when that was new, but I've forgotten how to switch them...) Basically, is there either an in-game way I can review how the actual game works or at least is there a compiled list of exactly what's different between versions without having to read every changelog on the wiki over the last 3 years?

​

Over Exposure/ Gamma Bug Fix? [Bug]

I've been trying to get back into No Man's Sky, but currently when I boot up the game, my game becomes over exposed and the everything on the screen becomes super saturated and bright (this is while the HDR setting is off).I've tried messing with a ton of different settings to no avail. It seems that when I stream the game, or tab out, the colors return to normal...any help is appricated!

Came back after a year and can't play: I have no TKGRAPHICSSETTINGS file and the game won't launch (white screen). [Question]

Please, if anyone can help I'd be grateful as I can't find any info anywhere. Every bugfix for this game relates to a file that I don't have and is not being generated on startup. I don't know what to do, the game just whitescreens and closes. I've played it before, within the last year and just reinstallled. I'm out of options here, I've even tried installing the game to a different drive. Anyone have any ideas?

The odd one out [Discussion]

What could be behind the lack of newcomers in this seemingly perfect settlement? The planet has a nice weather with non-hostile fauna. The maintenance costs are reduced to zero thanks to the clever and green systems. Everyone is overwhelmingly happy with the overseer decisions and the productivity is up in the skies. The settlement is raided by sentinels every now and then but the overseer takes care of them with ease whenever they try to harass the inhabitants. Is this enough to scare off the newcomers? Or is some other mystery in the background? Did the previous overseer make this settlement so infamous?

I guess a few more weeks and I'll mange to raise the population a bit. I just a wish I got more options to do so.

13 Hours in and I finally beat Expedition 7. It was my first one! [NMS-IRL]

Long time fan ever since it first came out in 2016, I’ve persisted throughout several iterations of the game, and not once have I felt the incredible sense of awe and relief that I do now. The story of expedition 7 was interwoven in a way that made me want to complete it when the other ones didn’t give me that same appeal.

I felt an intensity from the rogue like elements that made me carefully plan my next steps in order to get to the next part, and it was honestly the most fun I’ve had. It captured exactly what I wanted to see all those years ago on release.

I ended the loop, and felt extremely grateful for the experience. Good on you, Hello Games!

Help! Expedition bug in the last mission blocking completion... [Bug]

Reported by someone else in a previous weekly thread 10 days ago: https://www.reddit.com/r/NoMansSkyTheGame/comments/utrvx8/comment/iavy74w/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3

Went to complete the last mission in the expedition with my wife in the same group. It worked for me and not for her.

When she clicks on the whalesong flute, the leviathan is summoned. The mission task updates to approach and communicate with the leviathan. She approaches and there is no option to communicate.

We tried having her restart the game in single player, making the call in different systems, using with and without pulse drive, etc. Nothing seemed to work.

What is a 'Habitable Base' Point of Interest? [Question]

I was exploring a random planet and used a map which gave me the location of a 'Habitable Base'. I looked on the wiki and it states that Habitable Bases are actual player bases, but when I got here it's just a moderately large, flat area with a Base Computer at the centre. The game says that I'm the first to discover this planet, hovering over the planet in the Discovery tab shows that it doesn't have any existing bases and I can claim the base computer for myself as it seemingly doesn't belong to anyone.

I've never seen one of these before and the wiki contradicts what I'm looking at, has anyone here come across one of these?

Just finished Expedition 7 [Discussion]

It was a rollercoaster. I rage quit a few times after dying, some due to my own incompetency, some due to glitches. I finally found a way to easily backup my saves, but after that I only died once after being ambushed by a bunch of pirates in space.

Other than the frustration of permadeath it was really a lot of fun. The real joy to me in this game is improving things: your character, your ship, your mechs, your base, etc. When you have all of that stuff close to maxed out the game becomes boring. Prior to the expedition I would log in, collect my spoils from my frigates, fight sentinels for a bit to get Walker Brains, maybe farm some mats and then log out because there is nothing else I really wanted to do. It had become rote.

The expedition brought back the olden days when I had nothing and didn't really know what I was doing. I look forward to the next one.

Constructed Tech prices in Expedition vs Survival [Question]

SHORT VERSION: How much cheaper are prices for researching Constructed Tech in regular Survival vs the Expedition?

Should I just save my Salvaged Data until after the Expedition is over and research things then?

Do I have to wait until the expedition is officially over for my Expedition save to become a regular Survival game, or is there some way to convert it before the 4 weeks are over?

​

Why I'm Asking: So I'm a new player; played about 4 hours in survival to get my feet under me before jumping into the expedition. Loving the game, finished the Expedition after about 8 deaths and now I'm just roaming around exploring a bit. Got the itch to start building a base somewhere, but it seems like the costs for researching building pieces are going to make it really hard to get even some basic stuff to build with. I'm REALLY happy with the Solar ship that I got with this expedition (beautiful, sleek orange beauty), so I don't want to just start a new save, but I don't quite understand how the transition between Expedition and regular saves is going to work.

EXP 7: I feel my "Squeaky Clean" image may have taken a hit today.... ;) [Discussion]

One of the "loose ends" on Expedition 7 was smuggling contraband from a Pirate system to a normal system. Problem is, I needed a Walker Brain to make the conflict scanner I needed to find the Pirate system. I'd previously killed a walker, but didn't realize my inventory was full at the time so I couldn't collect his brain. So, had to pick a fight with some sentinels until they sent another walker after me.....'

.

LSS - I harassed the in-game authorities, stole tech from them, and used it to help me smuggle contraband (Nip-Nip and Grah-Grah) to sell it in a non-Pirate system over a span of about half an hour.

what I think it would make this game 10x better. [Suggestion]

My main gripe with NMS as someone who just started playing is that it feels like I'm alone in the cosmos. I want to be able to travel to many systems in which habitable ones each have 1 planet with a city/settlement like the one we saw from starfield. where we can trade, customize our ships, look for jobs (bounty hunting, data collection, etc), do research, hire ppl etc. These settlements would ideally have its own culture and whatnot thats reflected from the architectural structures of the city and the NPCs.

This might be a hot take but i feel like if hello games would do away with most of the gazillion planets and just have a small set of systems like 500 it would make it feasible to implement the aforementioned settlements with its mechanics. It would also make it more likely to bump into other explorers/players more frequently thus giving the game more life.

A change like this would make me feel like I'm playing cowboy bebop or space dandy.

What do you guys think of this, too ambitious for a small team like hello games?

Excuse my English grammar btw.

Problem with batteries + solar panels [Build]

Hello, I've just build a little Dioxite farm for my needs. No electromagnetic source in sight, so I had to use solar panels + batteries: 10 solar panels, 4 batteries and 2 extractors (121kp used out of 500kp).

The problem is that the EXACT second night comes it says "0kp available". I see the batteries discharging and the cycle counter in the extractor is ticking but the extractors are not moving at all.

Is this just the animation that is bugged or am I missing something?

I tried to place batteries inside the base (in a closed room). All other devices (portal, lights etc.) are working at night.

Thanks for any advice. I couldn't find anything else on the internet.

“Starfield looks nothing like NMS” [Discussion]

Stop the cap. Their art styles and direction could not be any more different but they function and play pretty much the same, with Starfield maybe being a bit more in depth with the mechanics and customization. If they were to add multiplayer or some form of co-op later down the line like NMS did then I could definitely see it becoming a NMS killer. It would work as a live service. I’m already seeing bunch of copium overdose in the community acting like Starfield doesn’t hold a candle to NMS after the presentation. The game looks super impressive and flat out better in a lot of ways. The only thing that holds it back is being an Xbox exclusive but that could also change later down the line. like it did with NMS. We will see.

From what I’m understanding is that Starfield will also utilize procedural generation as well among the 1000 planets and it looks really good and stable. The only thing that holds it back is being an Xbox/PC exclusive but that could also change later down the line like it did with NMS. We will see.

High Altitude Base Question [Question]

I was working on a base build, and started my base computer at the top of an Archive structure. I finally hit my altitude limit for building (lost the building options just above my last structure). I can place a second base computer since it's outside the base, but it won't let me claim another base since it's right on the boundary.

Is there some way I can keep building above my current base? I was hoping to build all the way up to my freighter parked in orbit.

Starfield = NMS + Fallout 4? Meh [Discussion]

I was watching the gameplay reveal and they really do look alike with so many similarities I had to laugh. The main place they are different is that it's more Fallout 4 in gameplay shooting humans/pirates, not exploration. "We have 1,000 planets for you to explore!" right. lol.

When you add it to Bethesdas history, I'll be waiting a while to even looking at it. I much, much prefer NMS style of exploration and laid back, and 100% certainty that the Starfield player community won't be anything as good as the NMS one. (I also don't play F4 for a reason)

The gameplay video is here.

Ship building in nms [Discussion]

Starfield did it, now we need it honestly. I love both of these games. I love to change the look of my nms ship somehow.

Maybe you have to research parts needed at the nexus, perhaps use a unique item as the asking price of it (idk) but for me personally I would love customise my ship and freighter. Imma sink so many hours on nms on my steam deck and starfiled too. Space is sooo coool

The one thing that will make me leave NMS for Starfield [Discussion]

If Bethesda managed to figure out a way to implement multi-biome planets into their procedural generation. One of my biggest gripes with NMS is that every planet is one single biome. It makes exploration feel very shallow and limited. I hope that Hello Games is striving towards adding multi-biome planets in a future update, if it’s even doable. But I hope Starfield shows us that it’s possible and I believe it is. Give me a reason to stay on a planet for more than 5 minutes then we’re talking.

Multitool Question. [Question]

So do multitools mine faster the more overheated they get? I've been farming mold and it seems like they die way faster when my multitools closer to overheating. Don't know if it's really doing that or if I'm just loopy.

Settlement drones [Question]

My boyfriends game has been dealing with a never ending of drone attacks. He doesn’t even have time to finish one off before another wave is here. He’s already done the mission where he has to get the map for his inventory and go to a place, but this is ridiculous. What do we do?

starfield remineded me of 2 things i'd REALLY like to see in NMS [Suggestion]

Both are about immersion.

More believable/real graphics that aren't so focused on showcasing all the brightest primary colors to the point that everything seems flat. Maybe featuring more emphasis on unique environment effects with things like the fog, etc made the environments feel a lot more like places to explore.

Fauna and flora that actually seem adapted/evolved to their environment as opposed to purely randomly generated. After a while there's a sameness to everything where as finding things actually adapted to the environment might make exploring more interesting and unexpected.

NMS pioneered the way and is going strong. I hope to see it evolve beyond imitations.

Some noob questions here [Question]

Hello

Been playing for a week and I have some questions:

Is the save point supposed to be a marker? Can I use it mark some interesting spots? How does it work? Put one on a portal and is not visible on radar.

Any efficient way to repair frigates? Do I need to repair them manually every time?

Can I defeat the drones or I need to run away every time. They just keep coming. I am not talking about a mission or something.

Thanks!

Blaze javelin can't hit quads ? [Question]

I've been having a blast with the javelin and the stun upgrade, but I can't for the life of me hit them sentinel quads, nine out of ten times the javelin beam would go right through their legs, EVEN AT POINT BLANK.

I can't tell if this is an intended mechanic or a bug.

Also how else can I quickly kill them ?

A Trace of Metal Bug [Bug]

Hey everyone,

I need help. I was doing the Trace of Metal quest. I am at the part called "The Lost Watchman" where I have to active the starship pulse drive to present the brain to the crimson void. I have the quest selected but it's not showing in the bottom right of my HUD. When I pulse drive nothing happens. During the Trace Of Metal Mission, I found the Crimson Void but accidentally Warped away, and now its gone, i cant find it and i am stuck on this...

What can I do? Is there a way to manually restart the quest or force a failstate? I don't have any old saves to reload to.

P.S.A. - Make sure 'Hold To Confirm' is enabled when grinding for an 'S' Class Freighter [Suggestion]

Four hours straight grinding that 'S' class Sentinel Dreadnought, and so used to failing, that I very nearly automatically reloaded after landing on the freighter.

Luckily, I have the 'Hold to Confirm' option enabled, and stopped myself just before the circle completed.

Sure enough, it was the 'S' class I'd been slaving for. Whew!

... and yes, I needed to see that golden 'S' (hyperdrive was 180.9 to boot!)

So yeah, might want to check that... Four hours sure can smooth out those brain wrinkles.

Happy hunting :)

Multiplayer not working on PC [Question]

So I've returned to the game but moved over to PC from Xbox and the first two days I was able to find players in the anomaly but now I cant seem to ever connect online to find them again. I feel like I've done everything from reinstalling to working with the ingame settings to anyone and I'm still getting issues. Even run as administrator with a solid wired connection. Has anyone else had this issue and if so on PC did you fix it and how so?

RIP Physicist Entity Kizh [Discussion]

So before I explain, I need to provide context. I was working on an idea to see if I could turn NMS in to a Starfinder (like D&D but in space) Campaign.

So I been recording the citizens names and race for my settlement to be one of the locations in the campaign. I decided to also record the ships and pilots that land in settlement. Physicist Entity Kizh was one of these pilots that visit quite regularly.

While exploring a transmission tower I got a distress signal from a ship. I got to the ship and it looked familiar, so I check the ships name. The Fujisai Guardian XII...... that was his ship. Ever since I found the ship he has not return to my settlement. I do not know if it a coincidence or these NPCs can actually die. Either way I going to miss the Korvax pilot.

Tips and tricks [Discussion]

Recently someone asked about the forward/melee thrust and I thought everyone knows it by now. So any little tips or tricks that you picked up that might seem common knowledge?

Melee thrust/jump = melee+jump. I find if it’s exact timed it gives best results. Thrusting into a rock will bump you up into the air without losing to much forward momentum (its usually an accident, but never know when that knowledge may come in handy)

You can exit a planet with pulse jump at 90 degrees and 40 degrees right from lift off.

Heat storms extend thruster duration so use that to your advantage to get out of them.

Boredom after just a few days of playing [Question]

Started playing 3 days ago for the first time, was really fun, played about 4 hours a day up until today, where I have no motivation to play. I already have millions of units and can buy pretty much any ship I want, my base that I was building just disappeared out of no where which is a huge motivation blow, and even though there’s basically infinite planets for me to visit, I don’t know what to do. Any advice? I really do like the game and think it’s awesome, but I’m just not sure what to do.

multiplayer problems [Question]

So I just hopped on the game with a friend after not playing for about a year or so. He's on PC and I'm on Xbox, he is unable to see my character if we are near each other but I can see him... also there is no marker or anything like that to be able to find each other if we are not close, it seriously took about 30 minutes just to find eachother. Are we doing something wrong?

question about main quest lore? [Question]

okay so i got this game about two weeks ago and have been absolutely enveloped in it. i just finished the atlas path quest EXCEPT i did it /after/ i “finished” the other main quests (“the space anomaly” and “new beginnings” are still in my log but just with general “enjoy your time” objectives) so i don’t know if this affects it at all.

i remember reading up on the lore and i read something about nada returning to the convergence. i had found their “galaxy purely casual; individualism statistical anomaly. nada is an error. trust nada? trust you?” quote and i had been waiting for it the whole game because nada is my favorite character and i really love their story.

except that never even happened for me. i remember reading that nada was going to say their work was done and they’d return to the convergence. in my game nada never left and i didn’t reset my galaxy so they just say “traveler friend. you remembered us…” etc etc and now i’m really interested to know if it was something in an old version of the game that they changed?

tldr; did they change nada’s story in the main quest of the game or did i just take a different path?

Thoughts on future content and mechanics [Discussion]

With the inevitable launch of Starfield coming up and its potential to be a step above NMS I wanted to know your thoughts were on where you think the game will go and implement in order to keep itself relevant. Here are some things I would like to see personally.

Expanded settlements - Larger, city like settlements.

Complete ship customization - Let us already Sean!

More expeditions that incorporate different genres - The addition of the rougelike play style of the recent expedition has paved the way for incorporating more genres into the game to help keep it fresh and entertaining.

Let me know what you guys want to see!

We should all be happy for Starfield. It not only looks fun, but more spacefaring games will lead to more innovations. [Discussion]

I won’t ever forget playing one of the Elite games back in early 2000s, and it took such a long time for Elite Dangerous and No Mans Sky. As a child I dreamed of games like Starfield, Elite Dangerous, and No Mans Sky. But never believed it would actually happen.

As new games in this field come to life, we will see innovative ideas and new types of gameplay that will make us all happy.

Endgame Question [Question]

I used to watch an old boyfriend play this a lot, and I always thought it looked really neat. So when I was trying to decide what to play next, it sprang to my mind.

One thing I'm curious about though, what exactly is the endgame? Or is there one at all? I get that there is exploration, discovery, things of that nature. And I'm not even saying those are bad. I think that's fantastic.

Maybe I should phrase it this way. For all you folks that have been playing for a very long time, what keeps you coming back?

I heard about the Anomaly "massacres" going on in Permadeath, wasn't aware this guy was targeting other game modes too. I didn't lose much so I'm not too angry, but I am curious if it was the same guy, or if more people are getting in on the griefing. Anyone else in Survival mode just now witness an Anomaly massacre?

Has this happened to anyone else? [Bug]

As I fly into the nexus, everything outside my ship goes white... and stays that way. I figured out that I can just re-summon the nexus and fly into it that way, which works every time. But my speed won't increase, so I have you fly to it (from summoning distance) at docking speeds. This happens at least once every time I play. Has anyone else had this issue?
