Center of Galaxy Mission [Question]

So I have already traveled to the center of the Euclid Galaxy as well as the Hilbert Dimension and it still is telling me to reach the center. Is the game bugged or is it entirely intentional?

Does the terrifying sample actually make something come after you? [Question]

I have a deathly core, which isn’t even on the wiki lol but it’s a rare sample that says “will stalk the bearer across the galaxy unless it’s sold” I read on the wiki that carrying one can cause a rare encounter? Is that true cause I can’t find anything about that anywhere besides the wiki.

Starfield gave me an idea and I don’t know if it’s completely stupid or totally awesome but here goes [Suggestion]

Seeing the ship building in starfield gave me an idea for a possible future mechanic. Wether it’s good or not you guys tell me. Basically the idea is to have frigate style ships you could build like bases. It would give you the ability to land ships on it and also fly around with. The main reason I feel like this could be really cool is the possibility of having a crew of other players controlling some weapons and whatnot adding more to multiplayer. Also just living out that space captain fantasy properly just sounds really cool. Though I definitely think it could conflict with a few other mechanics I feel like it would be an incredible very very late game addition. But I want to see what other people think first

Are there any places I can go to find base building designs? [Question]

Everywhere I look it seems like they are base builds, but in reality they are just showing what base components do. I did see one guide, but the base seemed pretty hefty and not very cheap. I just finally found a planet I like and want to build on, but barely have any stuff researched. So should I maybe research a bunch of more stuff before I start building? And where can I possibly find small to medium size base designs?

Multitool question [Question]

Can someone help my understanding of how the types of multitools work? I see a lot of content creators reference experimental pistols or rifles, as though it being a pistol or rifle mattered. Does this effect the stats? I thought both pistol and rifle were other types of multi tools with experimental being another - or do experimental MTs have pistol and rifle subclasses and do they change the stats if thats the case?

Stuck: First Traveller - Null, the Stranger [Question]

I'm at the stage: Learn the Glyph Sequence for this planet

'It is asking me to charge the glyphs to gain control of the Portal and learn the glyph sequence for this world. '

I did that, but the quest isn't completing. (I even got a screen shot of the glyphs when it showed them to me.

Was I supposed to get the glyphs for a portal other than the one on my home planet (The portal on my home planet is where I started the quest)

If so I'd expect to have a quest marker elsewhere, and I don't.

So I'm stuck at this point. Anyone have any ideas?

[SteamVR] "Wrong Graphics Card", Game not showing up in HMD & RX 6600 XT [Bug]

Hi y'all, I've recently built a new computer comprised of the following GPU : AMD RX 6600 XT

And the following HMD : Oculus Quest 2

Whenever I try to run the game via its SteamVR mode (be it via Oculus Link or Virtual Desktop), it does show the SteamVR "Waiting" in the HMD, but the game only renders on my flat monitor, all while I can hear the game sound in my HMD.

Then, when I'll go back to check on my desktop, SteamVR shows a "Wrong graphics card" error window. Keep in mind that this is not possible since I only have one dGPU, and NO integrated graphics.

I highly suspect that this is a NMS bug, as Half-Life Alyx runs fine with my configuration.

Software information : AMD recommended drivers (22.5.1) Windows 10 (Latest patch as of 12/06) Oculus Software Beta (tried Stable, same thing happens) Virtual Desktop (Latest version as of 12/06)

Does anyone happens to face the same issue as mine ?

Thank you [Discussion]

I want to say thanks to everyone here, and the other nms reddits. I started playing the game in early 2018. Right after my mom passed away, growing up she always enjoyed playing various games and game systems. We often played together,so I know it was a coping mechanism for me. As I know she would have loved the game. Back then there wasn’t a lot of resources that where current. So I leaned heavily on Reddit for anything I needed along the way. I’ve finally joined, and ready to help fellow interlopers as orr to hers have helped me.

Derelict freighter bug [Bug]

Happened to me second time already. On derelict freighter (expedition campaign) at some point character (3rd person) just disappears (becomes invisible) and can not shoot (projectile is fired and there is sound, however shots go somewhere else and are not visible). Given the nature of freighters (constantly shooting to clear way), this immediately ends the raid and I have to retreat.

This time, however, game also became responsive and froze my pc. Considering that game can not be saved on freighters and on there is permadeath mode on this expedition, this is not the good news.

Any advices? Any help? What can I do to keep this from happening?

My settlement builds only markets, and I need help [Bug]

Well, title says almost everything. I have like 5 or 6 markets in my settlement, productivity is at the maximum value (1m credits), population is very low though, and every time there is a constructing possibility - it's another market every time. They don't do anything other than occupying the territory. If I approve - the next construction is always another market. If I deny - they back off for a bit, and then offer building it one more time - that same damn market, in the same damn place. Is there any way to influence that, or is it stuck forever?

Sentinel Towers [Question]

Have sentinel towers replaced refining runaway mold as the best method to get nanites? I ask this because I think they have. As always with this game, Hello Games adds a feature that makes something else pointless. You see after shutting down a sentinel tower several things happen. One you start getting recognition for killing sentinels you never shot. All that is required is to be near a spawn point and they just vanish leaving their canisters behind. Now, grab those free canisters and start collecting that sentinel glass, nanites, and bulllets. Examine all of your new sentinel glass fragments to obtain various commodity items, sentinel upgrades, nanites, and sentinel tower maps.

If you haven't figured it out yet, here's how you cheese it. Shut down the tower and then find 2, 3, or 4 secure facilities in close proximity to one another and fly over them shooting those canisters to collect -- repeatedly. You only have to be far enough away for the building to despawn to cause the canisters to reappear on the next fly over.

I collected over 8,000 nanites just selling the upgrades. Is this what everyone is doing now? Am I missing something?

Someone will probably argue that scrapping ships is the way to go. I disagree. You now loose money buying and scrapping ships.

I was able to find a workaround as a searched through the internet and found very few people who was having the same issue.I edited via notepad I lowered all the graphical settings from the save files before launching the game. I am always play games in the lowest setting as I prioritze high FPS over anything its just that NMS case was different because you can only access settings when your already in the game. The game is almost 6 years now but still is the way it was so I guess this is something that cannot be changed. Thanks for everyone who commented in my previous post.

Knowledge stones: Once a word is learned in the language given, the stone with said word should disappear from planets so you don't run across the "Nothing new learned" message so frequently. [Suggestion]

Or just have the stone set up to swap to a different or new word automatically. Not sure if this is common or not but I'm running into the nothing stones left and right and I think it'd be easier to just make the stones stop spawning when you've learned those words already. This is referring to single player cause obviously not everyone knows the same words. IMO I just think it'd be a better option, would love to hear further thoughts!

Can we get RPG quests now? [Discussion]

We’ve all seen the Starfield trailer. It’s NMS receiving the Skyrim treatment. But I think Hello games could do that too.

Starfield comes out next year, so I think they have enough time to get out ahead of it and revamp this game a bit.

We have random missions and even some NPC dictated fetch quests but I feel they could expand on those to make it feel more like an RPG.

Polo and Nada at the space anomaly could be made into real characters.

I know NMS is a sandbox about exploration and freedom, but I’d hate to see Starfield rip things straight from this game and push it by the wayside because of quests and story.

Future content [Discussion]

I love NMS just as much as the next fan.... but....

 

IMO: They need to skip the next "content" push, and instead work on fixing all the bugs, and add a lot more planet diversity (landscape & critters).

 

I, like untold others would gladly pay extra for such things.

 

It's astonishing that we have received so much for free to date, and it is truly appreciated, but there comes a point while playing when you land on planet #XXXX and say to yourself "I have been to this planet dozens of times even though I have never been on this one before."

 

Just my two cents... and a huge thank you HG for such a great game.

Expedition 7 Does Everything Stay In The Same Location? [Question]

This is my first expedition and I feel like I'm not being as efficient as everyone else. Each loop I kind of run around trying to find the anchor points and memory hotspots and it's taking forever.

My question is: do these locations remain constant in each loop? Is the anchor point always in the exact same place in each loop? I've seen people building bases marked with "anchor point" but it doesn't seem to get me closer. Are the memory hotspots in the exact same place as well? There has to be a better way to do this than what I'm doing, otherwise having to repeat each iteration's objectives every loop will take me too long. Thanks.

MOD/Utility/Tips for better Galaxy Map and Discoveries filtering/navigation? [Question]

I'm a new player and after completing the current Expedition I'm just beginning to branch out into exploration. One thing I've found frustrating is that even with the economy and combat scanners installed, there don't seem to be options for comprehensive filtering. Maybe this is by design to encourage less targeted exploration, but I still think it would be nice to be able to highlight say, only T3 Economy Korvax blue-star systems or similar. The filter modes that show economy or species by color on the map are nice, but being able to combine them would be ideal.

Right now my method has been to sort of randomly move around in free mode, then go back to the Discoveries tab and look through the list and set a waypoint to someplace I want to visit. That's another frustration though, as anything I've stopped the cursor on in the Galaxy Map shows up as "visited". It's handy in that I can then look at just certain species systems or certain star types without having to actually warp there, but it'd still be nice to further filter by what I've actually visited, or a secondary filter to really narrow down what I'm looking for.

Quality of Life improvements [Suggestion]

I love all the updates, but I hope HG don't forget about some of the smaller improvements while they're dreaming up ever-wackier additions. A few thoughts:

a quick way to enter photo mode on console, since you can't shoot or boost while navigating the quick menu. Maybe, press both sticks or an option in the pause menu

fully-functional target sweep, it seems like its half there. There don't seem to be many resources you can pin that are actually compatible - it would be nice to sweep for resource noses or salvaged tech, currently only possible in certain missions. Add to this an exocraft-mountable target sweep tech for bonus points!

moon bases. Is it just me, or do you still stand at a slight angle while on moon bases? It puts me off building on some lovely moons

last (and very much least), right stick click seems a better option for auto targeting toggle than X / Square. Sometimes I just want to land mid-fight!

Any other thoughts? Unlikely Sean will read this from my tweet, but what is a traveler without hope?

Is it time for another "Terrain Generation" update? [Discussion]

Hello Games and No Man's Sky have been exceptional at providing so many lovely content updates since launch. And they've updated so many visual components as well...but mainly relegated to improving and adding to assets that already exist in the game. Flora, Fauna, Lasers, VFX, space whales etc. etc.

But relatively few of the "beauty" updates with the notable exceptions of NEXT and BEYOND. have touched on improving terrain creation.

I can't help but think that these kind of fundamental updates are being avoided, as to not hurt the base building components of the game.

Do you feel this has become a log jam that is preventing NMS from evolving more complex and dynamic terrain features?

Would you be willing to lose your bases for them to update these features?

Is there a solution that could be implemented to let them keep growing fundamental changes without blowing away all the bases?

Let me know what you think.

Planet names not saving [Question]

This has happened twice, I decided to ask about it now: I discovered a bunch of planets (2 the first time, and like 6 the second time) and a solar system. I renamed them, uploaded them to the online discovery services, and they stayed like that for that gaming session. Saved, quit the game, and when I came back, they were reverted to their default names. This wasn't the case with a single planet and its two moons, but I don't know why yet. And now, I can't rename them because of the discovery system (I know how it works, no need to re-explain it to me). I've tried pressing enter and clicking to upload the names, both things end up in the same resetting situation. Naming plants does not seem to have the same effect, as their names do save. I've also tried loading both auto and manual save files. I'm in PC, playing with a controller but writing names with my keyboard. Does anyone know why this is happening?

Main Story question [Question]

Hey all, I've done a hell of a lot of research after completing the main story, and most of it is followable and cohesive, especially after learning the whole countdown from 16 minutes leading to more breaks in the simulation. Though, there is one thing I don't quite get-

When you first speak to Artemis, they reply. They answers questions, seemingly normal, and aren't as confused. After some time passes, they begin to get more and more unintelligible and then boom you learn they're dead and have been for a while. This is why they started making less sense as time went on.

My question is this: was Artemis a conscious entity while dead, speaking to you through that world of glass afterlife recycle bin the entire time they were talking to you, or since Artemis was made as part of the simulation, were they just part of everyone's iteration of "similar/almost exact universe" multiverse concept so that they were going to reply the same way almost every time? I feel like it has to be the world of glass idea, because if you ask about Nada, they reply with something different other than what the main objective is. That would show some free will and that Artemis wasn't just part of the program. I am probably so far off, but its just the Artemis thing that has me confused. It's probably just due to some retconning or whatnot that makes this harder to understand just dropping into the game.

Thanks.

Starfield is an excellent opportunity for this community to show grace and class [Discussion]

Since yesterday, I've seen some No Man's Sky fans mocking Starfield (sometimes seriously, sometimes not). Calling it copied homework, saying "I bet it can't do [insert feature] better than NMS can," saying it'll be broken and disappointing like other Bethesda games, etc.

Regardless of what you think about Starfield, crapping on the game is not a good look for the No Man's Sky community. The similarities between the two games are obvious, so lots of people will be looking to No Man's Sky fans to see what they say. I've frequently heard that this is one of the friendliest and most helpful gaming communities on Reddit, and I would personally agree. Becoming snarky about another high profile space exploration game could taint that reputation pretty fast.

Just want to encourage everyone here to be friendly and supportive of Starfield. I would be willing to bet that's what Sean Murray would like to see from us as well. He's suffered his own share of internet jeering, and likely wouldn't wish it on anyone.

And honestly, my hunch is that the two games will be different enough that they'll survive alongside one another just fine. Here's to many more hours of fun in both games for years to come!

What's the quickest way to Essentium? [Question]

I've been playing since Atlas and always found the explorey part of this game the most fun. Recently though, I've grown more interested in the base building end of things. I have pretty much unlimited money, but occasionally running out of stuff and having to go and pick up more was cramping my creativity. I decided to start a new game in Creative mode, so I could build away to my hearts content. Here's my one little bug. I've found a couple of pretty much perfect planets to build on, but they're in Essentium.

From the very beginning of the game, what's the quickest way to get to Essentium? (please don't say the Atlas path...)

Second question. When I get there, will I be able to interact with my bases that I built in my original save?

Locked ship camera on mouse + keyboard gets weirdly "sticky"/acting like tethered if I move the mouse too far/too fast? [Question]

So, I've been having this weird issue, and searching around I can't see literally anyone else mentioning this.

I swapped to locked for my ship camera cause tethered feels pretty bad, which was an improvement, but if I move my mouse more than very gradually (any faster than max turn speed I guess?), the ship gets "stuck" like that and starts moving in that direction nonstop as if I was playing tethered and moved it outside the circle, ie I take my hand off the mouse and the ship will just keep spinning, and only stops if I move it back in the opposite direction (so I can't turn the ship up if it's spinning left, I have to stop it first)

I have no clue why this happens or how to make it stop, it happens almost instantly if I try to turn it in a diagonal like up+right. Makes trying to track an enemy ship almost impossible, since when I move my mouse to follow it, if it goes left and then up, I move it left and then get stuck turning left and won't turn any other direction until I move it right again to stop it, only then can I make the ship turn up. If feels like my Traveller spilled soda on all their ship consoles, which would be funny if it wasn't becoming such an annoying problem.

NMS has an amazing OST [Discussion]

Ever stopped to look up the full tracks of the in-game music? Normally when I play, NMS is all atmosphere, and the music contributes so much to its feel. The really unclean guitar sounds grungy and scrappy like the pinpricks of settlements scattered across the galaxy, and the subtle piano sounds lonely and thoughtful as I sit in my spaceship hanging between planets.

I'm a huge fan of game OSTs. I listen to game music more than other kinds, but I really appreciate the game music that adds to the ambience in-game. NMS takes such pains to make itself feel immersive, and whenever I'm sitting in my ship, waiting for a bad storm to pass, those little off-beat notes that play in the backdrop of howling wind against my spacecraft's creaking metal feels so cinematic.

Also, this song makes me cry.

https://youtu.be/x7lQ892YZvo

It sounds like rain, like it starts out as looking out at the rain, on a very distant planet, and then goes into a sound like old memories of things you cannot get back. It reminds me of building up to let yourself cry, and then finally letting that feeling out, but there's nobody around to hear it.

A lot of NMS's music is very good at capturing that feeling, actually.

https://youtu.be/vZSuXi8Qht0

https://youtu.be/Nru86VmoEK4

Something where there are short moments of relief or success or connection, but those moments are brief, in a big universe that is beautiful and infinitely fast, with all kinds of wonders to observe, and unfathomable distances between us.

Dunno if anyone else feels like this, just wanted to share a bit.

Starfield's similarity to No Man's Sky should be a source of pride, not anger, for our community. [Discussion]

The fact a major game studio, responsible for such legendary RPGs as Skyrim and Fallout 3/4, took ideas from No Man's Sky, should not be seen as a "copy" or "ripoff." On the contrary, it's a commendation and recognition of the huge achievement NMS had on the gaming industry.

I won't even go to the fact that no game is a strict clone of another, and that Starfield took a lot of inspiration from other famous games, both of its own IP (Elder Scrolls, Fallout), and of other third party games such as Mass Effect, Star Citizen, and many others. Even focusing on what it specifically took from No Man's Sky, it is good, not bad.

NMS was the first major game to do anything of its size and scope. I can think of small, and almost unknown indie games that delivered a mere part of what NMS did, such as Evochron's seamless planetary landings, or going even further back, the Noctis series. These games are not well known for a reason. Despite their great ideas and innovaction, they didn't become a major hit, didn't find that breakthrough formula to make a core game loop and appeal to a mass audience. No Man's Sky did. And it's precisely because of its success that you see major studios reuse some of its ideas.

Bad games don't get copied or emulated. They are forgotten, seen as a dead end. On the contrary, legendary games are analyzed, built upon, and their ideas carried on in completely different games. I remember when Terraria came out, everyone was complaining it's a "rip off Minecraft." Decades before that, when Duke Nukem 3D came out, people called it a "Doom Clone". Such arguments were baseless then, and they are baseless now.

Regardless of how much a success Starfield will become (and I wholeheartedly wish it to become a great game, and plan to play it if it lives up to the hype), it was No Man's Sky that enabled...

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

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

You can also drop a quick tip!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Planets without a sentinel pillar? [Question]

Silly thing. I'm on a really interesting planet that has frenzied sentinels. I beat the level 5 wave and... the pillar is OFF WORLD?!? Ok so I happen to have a stack of sentinel maps in my bag. I start reading them off and every single one goes to this off-world planet... not the one I'm standing on. It's pretty frustrating since I want to build a base on top of the pillar here so I can turn it off sentinels easily. However, I can't get one to spawn on the planet I'm on and I'm just kinda blown away by this. Is this a bug, or is there a required amount of land mass for a sentinel pillar to spawn (aka, mostly water worlds will never get one)?

Base building! [Discussion]

I'm tired of starfield and leviathan talk. So I'll try to add something we might all indulge in and which will benefit us hoboes living in boxes on frozen wastelands.

How do you all approach building your base? What are some nice tricks for making it look cool? How do we get stuck in? How do we overcome when it looks like shit.

I tend to quit the game for a little while each time I have to build my base. Because it looks terrible and I feel really shitty about having to undo it all. I can't wrap my head around it, even when unlocking camera and getting the wider picture.

I tend to end up with uninspired boxes and when I look here, you all have such cool concepts.

Returning player, do you think I should start over? [Question]

Going to download the game again today, but it's been a very long time since I played it. I've had the game since release and at first didn't like it. I tried it again when Beyond came out and did the Atlas/Artemis story. I haven't played it since then, was that around 2019? It's been a few years anyway.

Based on how long it's been, I'm just wondering if it would be best to start over. I'm not sure how much has been added since, but it looks like an awful lot and I'm a bit concerned I might get overwhelmed if I just go back to my old save (assuming it still works). What I mean by if it still works is the other reason I'm wondering if I should start again is possible bugs/broken storylines and quest triggers. I had to start again in Beyond as I think my vanilla save was just so old and outdated that it caused me to be unable to go through or start the Artemis quests. I'm a bit worried this might happen again and leave me struggling to find/start new content if quest triggers/waypoints get bugged or something.

Thanks, looking forward to coming back to the game and seeing what you guys think I should do.

Buff to X-class tech mods? [Information]

Has anyone noticed that X-class modules seem significantly more likely to be good (meaning better than S-class) than they used to be? This seems to be the case across all modes, except in the expedition they seem to have made them even more likely to be strong. I just finished upgrading my main ship and multitool in normal mode with all X-class mods.

Heads up about the expedition save though: some of the buffed X-class mods will revert to crappy ones once the expedition ends. I found this out because the Xbox servers were down the other day, so my expedition save briefly reverted to a regular survival save. Some of the mods I had were still strong, but a lot of them suddenly had bad stats. When the servers went back up the save became expedition again, but the mod stats stayed bad. Just a warning for those of you that want to continue playing your expedition saves after it ends.

Starfield v No Mans Sky [Discussion]

Buckle up because I got a bit of story time for you guys while I state my case. No, this is not going to be a "This game is better than that game" post. Skip to the TL;DR if you don't care about any reasoning and just want to comment on my conclusion.

Back in 1970, a group of students a part of a NASA work-study program developed the very first FPS game called Maze War. Maze War was never released and was more of a proof of concept over anything else. The first arcade market success was Battlezone developed by Atari in 1980, Battlezone was simple. You controlled a tank, dodged missiles and shot enemy tanks.

​

In 1991, ID Software built off of Battlezone's technical achievements and created a game called Hovertank 3D. They added in more features and player tasks. Now, instead of just fighting the enemy tanks, players had to rescue civilians and navigate a maze. Using what they learned from Hovertank 3D, they created Catacombs 3D later in 1991.

​

Catacombs 3D would set the template for most future ID Software games, and by extension the FPS Genre. In Catacombs 3D, the player was a human character with animated hands. The player navigated a dungeon, casts spells and fights monsters. The entire atmosphere was made into a dark-fantasy FPS.

​

In 1992, the game that changed ID Software released. Wolfenstein 3D. That lead to the development of one of the most mainstream games of its time, DOOM, which then lead to Quake. After DOOMs release in 1993, the FPS genre was finally truthfully born. For years after, any FPS that released was called a DOOM clone no matter how similar it was. This was because prior to DOOM, there wasn't an FPS that got enough commercial acclaim to bring attention to the genre. The industry did not even have a term for the game, it wasn't a FPS, it was just a shooter. All you did was shoot.

​

Because there was no real genre for it,...

Starbirth question [Question]

I'm trying to get a living ship with my non-expedition character now. I got one during the Blight expedition and things seem different this time. In the last phase I'm chasing down Lost Traveller after Traveller after Traveller. I didn't count exactly but it had to be around 16 of those and now I'm getting technology and some nanites with each Traveller. Seems like this is going on so long it may be bugged. I have 2 Soul Chambers in inventory and one has been 33% full for at least 10 travellers- probably more, and the other chamber is empty. Should there be two Soul Chambers? Does it require dozens of traveller graves to fill up the chamber?

Experience with Civilizations? [Discussion]

Help! I'm stuck on a moon... [Discussion]

So I just started a playthrough, and I really don't want to restart...

I landed my starting ship on a moon to get my first crashed ship in the Artemis questline. Wandered forever away without checking my compass to find the new ship, and now I'm stuck with a crashed ship, and no carbon to fix it or build a teleporter.

There is no flora on this moon...

Is there a way to see the name of the scum killing people in Permadeath? [Question]

Was just an the anomoly and while heading back to my ship I was getting bombarded by someone from above.

Luckily I had PvP off so didn't die and lose my save. I fear others wouldn't have been so lucky.

I tried looking around but as I was being bombarded I couldn't see much.

​

Does anyone know if it's even possible to the the names of this scum when they are attacking?

Next time it happens I would like to be able to record it with their name showing so I can send it to HG in the hope they get banned permanently.

Wouldnt a NPC city be cool... But actually more logical? -NMS future idea [Suggestion]

So in these giant universes.. the biggest living structures are Space stations, trade posts, and settlements? I mean... if you traveled through high-populated areas... Wouldnt you come across a city? I mean we can build MASSIVE things on our own... But unless u have alot of friends always on... our places seem to be quite empty.

i feel like one or two big -npc- cities would make it more accurate. Maybe have a Star system with a planet labeled "gek home world" and its where the race began, etc. and you could visit the capital city, where lots of nps roam and do their thing. can easily have multiple shops for everything.

Or even a desolate city- maybe where the race came from, but after expanding to other systems they left the homeworld behind?

oh and if your Rep is high enough with that race, you can purchase/rent a plot of land and build within the city.... 😎

idk, i just think it would be nice to travel the cosmos and come across a city or even a Giant space station.

Can someone expain to me why we are agains comparing No man's Sky to Starfield? [Discussion]

I really thought it's more of a compliment to No man's sky. Mass effect for years tried to accomplish what No man's sky did. Their most ambitious attempt was mass effect Andromeda, which was scaled down to just a few planets due to crunch.

So my thought process is if Starfield is attempting to emulate a game (Mass effect) that failed to implement features like No man's sky, wouldn't that be just a testament to how amazing Hello games is? It's not exactly the same, but I think the comparisons are fair considering the budget/manpower of Bethesda versus Hello games.

We've come a long way, and this community has always had a level headed approach to things (equal parts critique and praise). So I'd love to hear other takes on this.

Thanks in advance!

Todd Howard new interview wirh IGN kind of puts an end to this whole Starfield vs No Man's Sky debate [Discussion]

https://www.ign.com/articles/starfield-seamless-fly-space-to-planet-not-important-todd-howard

In the interview he confirms that You Can't fly your ship straight down to the planet like you can do in no man sky nor will you be able to manually take off and leave the planet. To add to the previous point, Starfield Doesn’t Let You Fly Seamlessly from Space to Planet because Howard says it's "Really Just Not that Important

based on the image below I suspect there will be a cutscene every time the player picks a spot on the planet to land on

Can I do anything to stop my active quest changing? [Bug]

I'm trying to get through the storyline quest but my active quest keeps changing to 'Under a Rebel Star' every few seconds. And I mean literally every few seconds. If I'm on a planet going towards and objective, depending on how far I am I have to manually change back to that quest for the quest marker to come back.

It's incredibly annoying to have to switch back to my active quest over and over again, and I'd try and finish the 'Under a Rebel Star' quest first, but it's in another system that's so far away I can't see the end, so I've been putting it off. I can't abandon this quest either, so if anyone has any helpful tips I'd really appreciate it.

I love this game, but for as long as it's been out, I feel like auto changing missions shouldn't be a thing anymore.

NMS needs EVAs [Suggestion]

Might be just me, but I think the game would benefit from having EVAs where you could step out of your starship and explore smaller stations like little trading posts or those small planetary outposts. You could build special spacestations and mine asteroids, and maybe see space bugs and whales. Maybe we could get a special small "freighter" with huge range and storage, that controlled like a starship, but couldn't land, and instead had to dock with the new spacestations.

Trying to gauge if this game is for me or not [Discussion]

Hi there! I've had the game for a while now, watched it get update after update and from the looks of it, it has a lot to do.

I've started playing it 6 times now, each time getting 2-4 hours in, but I just can't get past that.

I don't dislike the game, and I don't at all want to make anyone feel like I'm here bashing the game. I'm just genuinely trying to see if there is something here for me, and after 6 failed attempts I though I'd ask more experienced players.

I love ARK: Survival Evolved (got 2000 hours) and I really like Conan Exiles as well. I have a lot of hours in Vintage Story, Starbound, and Terraria. I also enjoyed some time with Valheim and Satisfactory, and I really want to get into No Man's Sky but I find it hard. I should mention I only every play alone or with my wife, no big groups.

I always start out excited to build my base and upgrade stuff and buy a new ship but I quickly get a feeling like "what am I doing this for?"

Does that make sense?

I guess to me NMS feels a bit more like a creative mode with resource gathering. It feels peaceful and free. It feels like I need to build that base because I want to, rather than as a defensive or convenient strategy.

Maybe I feel that way because I've only played the first few hours? Does the game feel very different after a certain point?

Again, not trying at all to hate, just really feel like I need to know why those other games click with me and this one doesn't😞

How did I get a Starship AI Valve? [Question]

If you aren’t familiar, it is the most valuable item in the game, credit-wise, at 50 million.

Found one in my inventory randomly. A search on the wiki says the only way to get it is by salvaging a ship worth 50 million. However, I have only salvaged 2 ships on this save, both of them under a million in value, and both over 10 hours of gameplay ago, so I know I didn’t get it from salvaging any ship.

About an hour before I found it, i traded in my very first starship, worth 400k, for an S-class, worth 3 million. But that was a trade-in, not a salvage, so I’m not sure how I would get one of these. Selling it brought me from 10 million to 60 million, so I’m not mad, but trying to wrap my head around it.

Quitting NMS for Starfield, are ya? [Discussion]

For those who say they are quitting No Man's Sky for Starfield, a game that's not even released yet, I have questions.

1.Do you know Bethesda's reputation?

Do you honestly think Starfield won't have major bugs?

Do you honestly think Bethesda will deliver what they hype?

Many players can barely run NMS on their PCs so what makes a person think they will be able to run Starfield which looks to be much more graphically intensive?

Wait to see how much of Starfield will be placed behind pay walls /DLC in the usual Bethesda fashion.

IMO, No Man's Sky is major competition to Starfield. That being said, I wonder how many people are Bethesda sponsored shills coming on reddit to dissuade and pull people away from NMS.

Personally, after reading so many posts where people are saying they will quit NMS for Starfield it makes me scratch my head. Why quit? Are you not capable of playing more than one game?

Me, I don't believe a single thing Bethesda says.

I have been playing NMS since release day, 2016 on PC & Playstation. I'm not going anywhere. Over 10,000 + hours and just when I think I've seen everything, I always come across something I haven't seen before.

I play other space genre games as well and despite the bugs that No Man's Sky has, it's still the best space exploration game on the market, imo.

To the NMS quitters I won't say "Goodbye". I prefer to say, "I'll see you again soon". 😏

A new player wanting some advice [Question]

Hi everyone. I recently started the game, and honestly, the bad rep around launch and the fact that it doesn't have even scores for the achievements on Xbox put me off for a long time, but I recently just said "eff it", and jumped in. However, I've quickly fallen in love with it. It really is just a nice, relaxing game to sit down and dump some time into.

With that said, I wanted to come here and get some advice. I think I'm still relatively early in the story, I've just gotten to the bit where you meet Apollo's contacts, and start setting up base terminals. I'm actually interested in the story, so no spoiling plot points would be appreciated.

What I really want to ask though, is:

1: What's the best method for gathering resources. Do I have to manually go and find/craft everything, or buy it with units? Or is there a way to efficiently automate resource gathering, so I don't have to go out and search whenever I need something? (I know about the automated miner things, but they seem slow and inefficient, as you have to babysit them for fuel)

2: If I need to manually gather resources, should I be building teleporters on every world, to facilitate moving around to collect stuff?

3: What should I prioritize for researching; what techs are best to get first?

4: Are there versions of fabricators/automated miners that allow you to hook them up to power generators, instead of having to constantly chuck fuel into them when they get low?

5: Is there a way to mark stuff on the ground, either by building a beacon or placing a marker of some sort, to make it easier to find things that aren't your base from the air?

Those are my main questions, but any other general advice you have for a newcomer would be greatly appreciated, and thank you to everyone who answers in advance.

The people in your group need to do the same quests separate of you, and build their base, separate or yours, or else their quests wont be completed. My friends and I basically picked it up again to play it together... but its all just solo questing and stuff. And if I am not hosting, they can't continue either?

I have a lot of issues of textures not loading, or loading slow. Is this a know issue and if so, is this.. you know... recent? I am already turned down the graphic settings lower, and still having issues and I have a good PC. This also makes it, so I can't land my starships in my base on the platforms.

Sorry for the rookie questions, but I couldn't really find a good answer that was recent.

Thank you all, and hopefully see you in space.

Early Game Questions [Question]

I'm still super early game, and have decided that I want money for different things. I've come across stuff online about crashing economies with multiplying ionized cobalt, is this still a thing? If so, how much do I roughly need, and do crashed economies reset?

Secondly, I want to buy a lot of stuff that needs salvaged data, but it's a pain in the butt to find. Is there any nice way of getting it, or is it just wandering planets and scanning for the buried stuff?

Have flying controls been improved? [Question]

I played NMS at launch and what really disappointed me back then was flying my ship because I didn’t have real control of it. The worst part was landing.

Did they improve it? Does it feel like you have control of the ship?

Sentinel Interceptors Endless? [Question]

I've encountered a lot of sentinel interceptors, most recently a few minutes ago after trying to grab some ferrite dust at my whispering egg base and getting caught by a sentinel. Every time I have to engage them I have to fight at least 10 ships. Do interceptors come at you in endless waves? Or if I stick it out will they finally stop? I have to hide out at a station to get them to leave me alone.

To be clear, I'm able to destroy them, that's not the issue. The issue is that I'm tired of having to fight a crapton of ships every time a sentinel catches me, it wastes SO much time.

RTX 3060 v 3060 ti? [Question]

Hello, So I'm just about to upgrade my GPU and I was wondering if anyone here uses these cards to play. Just wanting to know what performance is like on ultra/high settings and with Ray tracing aswell.

I'm leaning more toward the ti ATM but there's a bit of a price jump so I'm wondering if it's just worth getting the 3060. (However I did some reading and lots of people are saying the ti is miles better)

Currently running on a 1060 3gb so it's still a huge upgrade either way. I used to be very into virtual photography for NMS but my current card just isn't up to the job at all anymore so I stopped quite awhile ago.

Thank you :D any help is appreciated

Is expedition 7 REALLY that difficult? [Question]

I am curious. I saw a lot of anger for expedition 7 being permadeath. People complain about constant dying, of losing their progress. I started and had no issue, really. Then I got stuck. I literally had to kill myself during the first phase. I walked up to an animal and made it mad. Then I played the rest of the expedition without dying once. Even when I engaged sentinels until I shut them down on a planet I had no trouble. The only other time I died was at a point I won't spoil for others, but it was required.

So for the majority here, was it really so bad? My history is as a competitive FPS player. I was very highly ranked in UT2004 deathmatch by the official servers at one point (hint: I was in the single-digits but NOT the top three) and always enjoyed this stuff. The sentinels don't even dodge or shoot back much.

So, was it really all that bad?

how does dmg potential work [Question]

potentially dumb question, idk. i have one A-class multi tool (rifle class) with ~7000 dmg potential and the only weapon i’m running is bolt caster with the barrel ionizer and the ricochet mod + the standard 3 S-class mods + 3 Sentinel shards. it’s done well for me throughout the game but i heard other weapons are more powerful.

so i have an S-class rifle too, same model as the A, but even with the blaze javelin w/ 3 S-class mods + the 2 upgrades you can get blueprints for, it only has a 545 dmg potential??? it seems only the mining beam affects the dmg potential on this weapon so i’m just curious on how it works.

Need some new goals [Question]

So I absolutely love this game, despite the fact I'm not big into crafting or base building. So I've spent most of my time working towards milestones like scanning fauna, space combat, learning languages, etc. Problem is, I'm running out of things to do. I've completed all the milestones, and like I said, I'm not into building or deep crafting. I really enjoy just going to planets and scanning stuff, space battles and simple stuff like that, but with all the milestones completed, I don't feel like I have enough reason to do that anymore.

I don't want to put the game down, it's almost therapeutic for me at this point. I know I've barely tapped what this game is capable of, just wondering if anyone has some suggestions as to what I should do next? I haven't done a lot of main missions, so I may tackle that, but they really seem to boil down to "go here, talk to this guy, go to the next place."

Maybe some self imposed challenges?

No indication that GPU is being used: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop GPU [Question]

I have an alienware laptop with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop GPU. I can bring up the windows performance monitor and see that in every game I play, the GPU is in use, except with NMS.

This is not a switchable laptop meaning there is no intel UHD graphics card (it's disabled) so that only the Nvidia is in use.

Within NMS settings it indicates that my GPU is in use, yet the monitor just shows 1-2% which is what it would do with the 2nd monitor. To compare: I get more GPU usage watching a youtube video than playing NMS. I was able to play this on my old Alienware laptop with just the GTX 1060 a few years back. I assumed it would be much better with a new laptop and better GPU. Things I tried:

​ I also checked for usage using MSI afterburner in case windows monitor was not working for NMS - still no usage. I tried using the 2nd monitor - no change. I tried unplugging the 2nd monitor - no change. I checked the TKGRAPHICSSETTINGS.MXML - it indicates the GPU. I checked for driver updates using Geforce experience - no change. I tried letting Geforce experience decide on settings - all set to ultra, but still no usage. I tried some custom settings through Nvidia Control Panel - no change. I tried display options, borderless, bordered, and fullscreen - no change. I verified the integrity of the files through Steam - no change.

Somehow I still get 60 FPS with high settings, not sure how, using the CPU alone? If so then my concern is that it is putting too much strain on the CPU when I have a decent GPU for that purpose.

One more very odd thing that might lend a clue. I use a screen recorder called Action! - it has worked in game-mode for any game I ever played, but it does not work with NMS, no clue why not. I'm not asking for a solution to this, just thought they addition data might help.

my pc only has a gpu of 1050 and somehow it's ''built in'' when i looked it up. no bother there, i will borrow my sisters pc which has a 2060 in it. and is what i used to take the photos of my uncles ALS memorial here in NMS. on all-ultra settings

advice im looking for is: do people like a build video better in photo mode, or when you walk around? first person? third person? what free software can you recommend? for recording and editing/splicing. do i add a song?

it's my best personal build to date imho and i really want to send it off with a bang when i upload it to nms servers. its about my 5th build, and only this and my last one am i truly proud of. the others were mostly me learning the building mechanics of nms. 502.5 steam hours later haha sorry

this is a build based on a popular storybook fantasy- hardcore NMS style-glitch building up the ass. so there are pieces on the ground. few. it goes to the sky and the big portion of the build is up there. it sits between 120-175u in different places from the ground. will this be any issue? thanks for any advice/help.

Too much stuff happening [Discussion]

I've recently jumped back into NMS, and I'm enjoying all the extra content and the wide variety of things to do, I'm just getting overwhelmed by how much shit is going on all the time.

I can't fly 30 seconds without some pirates jumping in. Every time I go to do a mission I'm getting interrupted by something else. A trader wants to come see me, or I stumped upon a frigate, or there is a battle or something is ALWAYS going on.

I might be just trying to visit an observatory for doing a mission, and suddenly its getting attacked by pirates, my land button is now disabled until I defeat these pirates I don't care about. Something will trigger sentinels that constantly chase me even when I'e got the pulse drive on. The planets are just littered with containers, ships are flying over every planet I ever go to, there seem to be animals everywhere etc etc.

It's just overwhelming to the point that these events that would otherwise be exciting and interesting are very rapidly boring and tiresome. The game is good, but getting into a battle with pirates, or finding a crashed ship (things that should otherwise be thrilling) for the 60th time in the last 30 minutes is not fun.

Sell me NMS [Discussion]

After seeing the Starfield trailer, I've had the itch to play a space exploration game. I played NMS when it first came out, pre-ordered actually (learned my lesson there...). Im looking at several space games, but I heard that NMS is better than at launch, so I want you to sell me it. Give me reasons to play again.

I haven't touched the game in 6 years, my last played date on Steam is Aug. 14, 2016. Even with all the bugs and glitches at launch, I decided to keep playing because the dev's can patch stuff like that. The thing that made me quit was this lie the dev's told us: That when you get to a planet, if you are the first one there, you get to name it, name the fauna, name the flora, name everything. And if anyone else comes to that planet, they will see what you named it. What you named everything. I loved that idea that I am literally a pioneer in the game. And then it happened. Video evidence of two friends that found each other in the game, found the exact same planet. None of the naming had been saved. And then more and more proof came out that all of the work I spent going from planet-to-planet naming was for nothing. Then I remember, but it was 6 years ago though so I could be remembering wrong, Im pretty sure I even saw a dev said that yeah, the naming was getting deleted, something about they never though 2 players would reach the same planet because the game is so big so after a tick, the names would be deleted. Less storage space on their servers or something like that.

TL;DR - I played NMS when it first launched, and it left a very sour taste in my mouth. Haven't touched it since, but im wanted to play a space exploration game. What are some good reasons to play NMS over other space games?

HELP: Main story quest 16/16 bugged and cant progress further. [Bug]

Not really sure what to do, i just finished learning the history about the 3 races and went to go find a distress beacon signal as part of the mission after talking to apollo. It sent me to a part of the world with crazy world gen and huge mountains. I did the little scan thing to pinpoint its location, and its currently pointing towards 2 spots. One spot is always there when I look down, its underneath the map. The second spot is when theres a little arrow telling me to look in a specific direction because thats where the object is (For example in space you might see the space station icon at the top right corner of your screen indicating its in that direction - its the exact same for my quest objective) but whenever I look in its direction the symbol disappears, its also in a totally different spot than the permanent one stuck underground.

Question about moving a base to my freighter [Question]

Hello fellow Travellers! I've just returned to the game and have a couple questions about base building. My progress so far includes a very simple base consisting of a single circular room, a teleporter, and a single storage unit, with the small generator to power it all. I just did the mission where I built a construction station and hired an Overseer to staff it.

I'd like to move this setup to my newly acquired freighter as I'm not a fan of the world that my first base is on. Is this possible? If I deconstruct it all, can I replace the work terminal and storage unit within my freighter and still keep the overseer and storage inventory items? Or do I need to rebuild everything on the ship and manually move items over?

My goal is to have my primary base on the ship until I find a planet I like and can settle down on. I haven't done any base building since...Foundation was it? The update where they first added it. I figured I'd ask here while I read over the Wiki to get caught up on what I've missed.

Thanks!

Why does No Mans Sky lag every few seconds for me? [Bug]

Hi,

I recently thought of trying No Mans Sky because I have been hearing about it a lot everywhere, and I installed it using the PC Xbox pass version on my system. The game takes too long to load when in the starfield/dust loading screen (about 5-7 minutes), and when in-game, it just freezes every few seconds. It works very smoothly and is locked to 60 fps for a few minutes, and out of nowhere will freeze for a few seconds. IT IS VERY ANNOYING TO BE ABLE TO ENJOY A GAME LIKE THAT. I think I have good specs to be able to run the game fairly smoothly.

My System Specs :

CPU : Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-9750H CPU @ 2.60GHz (12 CPUs), ~2.6GHz base speed, 4.5 Ghz max speed, 6 Cores, 12 Mb Smart Cache

GPU : 8 GB NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070

Memory : 16 GB Ram

Storage : 1 TB SSD, 1 TB HDD

But to keep in mind, the game is in my HDD and not SSD (I keep SSD for OS and work-related tasks). But I doubt that can be an issue because Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 is also in my HDD and runs 50+ fps on average with no lag. I also have a 100 Mbps Internet connection, connected through Lan (if the game uses it). I have monitored my Task Manager to see how much of my resources are being used, and not more than 40-60% of my resources are being used when playing the game, be it CPU, RAM, or Graphics Card!

I don't understand why the game freezes so much? Any suggestion or help to troubleshoot this would be so awesome. I really am eager to try the game properly, and it looks so good so far, but this issue prevents me from trying it!

I would really appreciate any help!

Can't believe this badboy parked in my local space station! [Screenshot]

So after 100hrs of gameplay i decided that i wanted to delete my Survival save and play Normal so i can see more people on the Anomaly. During those 100 or so hrs i NEVER saw a squid. But, after the introductory stuff, and after a little market magic, i was hanging around the local space station and this beauty just decided to dock in! I nearly spit out my drink as a furiously used my stubby Gek legs to buy it before it left again. W00t indeed!

So I just beat the main story, how much new endgame stuff can I expect afterwards? [Question]

So yea SPOILERS ahead of you’re like me and are just now finishing this game from 2016.

So First let me say wow that was confusing and I may have had an existential crisis or two but it was fun. I got to the centre of the galaxy after getting all the glyphs, said goodbye to Nada and Polo, told null see ya chump. I chose to reset the simulation because I wasn’t really sure what else would even happen, and chose a green galaxy cause I know that’s the one with lush planets.

What more can I expect though? Since I know it’s like the same start and you’re just in a new galaxy. With the main quest over what more is there to do aside from base building and unlocking stuff?

Should i mod NMS? [Question]

Hey everyone, it's a me, again, and i was trying to mod Hollow Knight to play (again) before Silksong and i saw a mod section for this game, which was wierd seeing it was multiplayer and maybe that interfered with modding, but i saw that it was pretty common and even encouraged to do, that said, should i mod the game before going more into the story/exploration (i just got some good ships and will start making a base), and getting more in depth with it?

Base Building Struggle Question/Help [Question]

I build a base and then noticed the terrain kept re-appearing back inside it, so I build it up from the ground a bit sort of like a 'house on stilts' and just closed off the bottom so it doesn't look weird/floating.

​

But now I have a new problem. I keep glitching through the floor when I load in from the save point or my teleporter into the closed off space so I'm trapped under the house and have to go into build mode to delete walls to get out. Is there a trick to this?

No Man's Sky Immortal Worm floats into space [Question]

So, I was playing No Man's Sky and happened to see an immortal worm while scanning fauna. He disappears before I can follow, but I am able to find it again about 15 mins later. When I see it, I hop into my ship and follow. It goes in and out of the ground 2 more times and then... proceeds to fly into the upper atmosphere and leave the planet. Has anyone seen this happen before? I have encountered worms numerous times, and knew they could fly, but not to that degree.

Summer update predictions? [Discussion]

With the announcement of Starfield and starting to play Empyrion this week, it's had me thinking about the state of NMS and where the game can go from here. As much as I would like to see the ability to customise your ship and not have to rely solely on rng, I can't help but feel that it won't solve what for me is the biggest issue of the game right now, and that is the complete lack of 'endgame' content.

I've spent 550 hours in this game and on my main save I've unlocked everything, upgraded everything, done all the story content well before this point and am just bumbling about wondering what the point of the grind was. I had been hoping that once I got to this point there would be some new content previously gated away by my lack of upgraded exosuit and ship, or that there would be some reason for me to have learned every word of every language beyond just the flavour text in dialogue.

The point is, I'm not too sure what would fix this, and I honestly have no ideas as to where the game will go from here and what the next big summer update will bring, and I would love to hear the community's thoughts.

RTX 3060 v 3060 ti? [Question]

Hello, So I'm just about to upgrade my GPU and I was wondering if anyone here uses these cards to play. Just wanting to know what performance is like on ultra/high settings and with Ray tracing aswell.

I'm leaning more toward the ti ATM but there's a bit of a price jump so I'm wondering if it's just worth getting the 3060. (However I did some reading and lots of people are saying the ti is miles better)

Currently running on a 1060 3gb so it's still a huge upgrade either way. I used to be very into virtual photography for NMS but my current card just isn't up to the job at all anymore so I stopped quite awhile ago.

New Traveler [Information]

Hello Fellow Travelers,

I just picked up NMS again, after its horrible release 6 years.. and been enjoying solo a lot.

Only there is a couple of things that don't really make a lot of sense to me, or are straight annoying.

I am wondering if people here can answer there for me.

what is the point of starting a game in multiplayer? The people in your group need to do the same quests separate of you, and build their base, separate or yours, or else their quests wont be completed. My friends and I basically picked it up again to play it together... but its all just solo questing and stuff. And if I am not hosting, they can't continue either?

I have a lot of issues of textures not loading, or loading slow. Is this a know issue and if so, is this.. you know... recent? I am already turned down the graphic settings lower, and still having issues and I have a good PC. This also makes it, so I can't land my starships in my base on the platforms.

Sorry for the rookie questions, but I couldn't really find a good answer that was recent.

Thank you all, and hopefully see you in space.

[Expedition Spoiler] I nearly had a heart attack at the end [Discussion]

I really wish I had thought to enable Instant Replay on GeForce so this is gonna have to be a "trust me bro" story.

For context: I bought the game at release. Clocked 300 hours and put it down until a week ago. Got my bearings in the game and the expedition seemed really interesting (and I wanted the rewards).

So I'm at the end when you use the flute. Anyone who has been there knows what I'm talking about. The final cutscene have you locked on and you're like...side strafing in your ship.

And asteroids spawn around me. I see no damage flashes or anything but the MOMENT it's out of the conversation....

Boom. I die. Reason for death: killed by Asteroid, not what it's supposed to list.

I panicked and alt F4 but I was too late, I still saw the "pick a save screen". I'm frantic. I had zero deaths up to that point despite Loop 4 anchor being one of the hardest things I've ever had to do. I walked away from my PC angry. An hour later I said eff it. I was smart, I have bases with teleporters all over. I can do it. Except when I log in I'm greeted with all the fanfare of having completed the expedition. Apparently the asteroid death stacked on top of how the ending is supposed to go.

I breathe a sigh of relief. I can go back to my Normal save and explore all the wonderful changes to the game

clipping through the floors. is it a bug or my console (ps4) just gave up? [Bug]

Just to give some context.

I haven't played this game in about a year and now that I came back I went straight back to my largest build yet, which is well... Enormous. If I can make it work as I intented then it will be much larger than 3000 parts and still uploadable.

Previously my problem with this build was that I clipped through the floors when I was in building camera mode. Which I learned that then I should be floating in water or standing on the ground so it doesn't happen.

But now. I even clip through floors when I'm just walking from one place to another.

At first I thought it might be because those parts of the base haven't loaded yet, but to test it I went slowly and waited for it to load completely. And again I fell through.

And my main problem with that is this way I might be unable to build the main structure of the base, since it is planned to be really high.

Any ideas?

Best Way To Move A Freighter Across the Galaxy? [Question]

However, when picking up this new freighter I was able to warp my previous freighter to that location beforehand. Not sure how that worked out, since it's hundreds of thousands of lightyears, but whatever. Anyway, I'm curious if there's any reasonable way to move my freighter basically across the galaxy.

So about getting an S class freighter [Discussion]

So I tried the 3-hour-5-jumps method. Most of yesterday, half of today. F-n waste of time. Can we please just be able to buy a random S freigher for 500M or something?

I love this game but space fights are boring and suck ass. Pirates (and occasionally sentinels) keep circling around you indefinitely, or hiding inside the freighter. they're just "holding S and trying to shoot". If you boost and turn around, they're on screen just in time for you to take down half their shield before charging right past you then back to holding S. i'm not the only one fighting them btw, why always circle me. Almost maxxed fighter class ship with infra knife.

Speaking of sentinels, every third or so time, after dealing with pirates i have to deal with sentinels. And once you've cleared a wave, next one comes before you have time to get to the freighter landing zone, rinse and repeat. I know I could enter/leave the station but wasn't sure this doesn't reset the freighter tier.

Got stuck clipped inside my own freighter during the 3 hour part. nearly uninstalled, then discovered I can still jump to a different system

For anyone interested, stats so far are: 4xC, 14xB, 12xA freighters. Started noting today only. 3 star system.

There was more but I'm so angry right now I can't remember. Will add in comments.

Sorry. Had to vent.

expedition 7 - transfer of items? [Question]

Hello there travelers.

I'm not sure if this is how expiditions were planned but I'd like to take my items form the expedition into my "normal" save. Is this somehow possible or is there no way to send or exchange items from one save to another? I know that the rewards of the expedition will be saved for the whole account so we can use them for all saves we have, but I'm curious what would happen to the other stuff I got there. I have done there much more I needed for the milestones and so I maxed out my inventory and have many X-upgrades for different exo-suit technologies and also for many different weapons. It would be a shame to loose everything there... I have over 30M units, nearly 7000 nanites and 3400 quicksilver/ mercury and played over 45 hours there.

Just for more details: I'm not really new to the game and I've made it into other galaxies some years ago. I have many ships, many frigates and so on... So I have enough stuff so that I want to continue there. This expedition was annoying and hard at the beginning (because I died a few times because of bugs or other stupid incidents. But all in all it was a refreshing, surprising and interesting "comeback" into the game for me and I'd like to take some items and ressources from this expedition save into my "normal" save. I know that this save will be "converted" into another normal save after the expedition ends, but I really don't know how transfering items between different saves works or if there is even a possibility. Maybe through a base with a password or something like that?

Recently started playing and one of my favorite things is discovering creatures... I saw this unit (apparently 7.1 meters tall, sorry for the lack of banana for scale) and had to befriend it. It would be cool if everyone wanted to share their favorites. Also how common is the second picture creature aesthetic?

Construction Overseer - How far into Artemis? [Question]

So I THINK I saw something about a construction module but I don't recall. I've been trying to get a buggy to roam the planets and discovered I need the construction building first. Well, in reading guides, I may have passed it or encountered a bug.

Currently, I'm at Calibrate the Translator in Alone in the Midst of Stars after using the large antennas to contact Artemis. Am I way passed where I would have normally received it? Wiki says so so I'm not sure. I'm 8 hours in and if I need to start over, I'd rather know now. Thanks!

Is it good? [Question]

I played on PS4 at launch back in the day, and actually really loved that paltry showing for a handful of hours before realizing there was no depth.

Is it worth picking up again on PC now? Does it still retain the vibe of exploring alien worlds, except this time with actual content? 60 bucks seems like a stretch for such an old and simple game.

Also was the pop-in improved at all? That was such a headache.

Finding ship [Question]

I claimed a new ship, it said “claim” not “swap” or change or whatever else, I don’t have a freighter, or a base or anything, how do I get my old ship back? Or is it gone forever? Cause i can still summon it, it just doesn’t have launch fuel

Ps5 not connecting to multi-player network [Question]

I'm on steam, and my friend is playing the ps4 version on the ps5. For some reason it keeps failing to add me as a friend on his end, and keeps saying that it can't connect to the network even though in the discoveries tab, he is connected to the discovery services. Anyone know how to fix this?

Loyalty to a planet? [Question]

One thing holding me back from playing is an experience I had from Starbound and i'm wondering if NMS is different.

I spent hours upon hours building a base I could come back to after being out it the world, a place where I can micro manage or expand upon after gathering materials. After a certain point in the game, you're forced to go to different planets to get stronger and to progress the game/story. After leaving my base, I have never come back to it, I just jumped from planet to planet to explore to the point where it was too far for me to go back home. It quickly devolved from a huge base, to little bases, to one room and to just a flag as there was no point spending time on building a nice base if you're just gonna leave the planet a few hours later.

Is NMS different? Can I spend hours building a base and be loyal to a planet, coming back to it after exploring space? Or will resources in my home planet be exhausted to the point where I need to move? Is there a point in having a home planet?

New Patch Incoming [Information]

I made a video discussing it but if you would rather read them this is what is coming:

Fixed an issue that could cause custom discovery names to be reset on load (note: this is a server-side fix and has been applied to all platforms, not just Steam Experimental)

Fixed a number of issues that could allow players to take damage in protected locations.

Fixed a multiplayer issue that could cause players to incorrectly take damage that ought have been applied to a different player. More info: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z9nLexXN7EI

how to find crashed freighter exp7 [Question]

Currently doing the leviathan expedition and am stuck on the part where you need to find a crashed freighter. It says to but planetary charts so I've been buying the emergency distress charts but none of them else to a freighter.

Am I doing it wrong or do I just have to be really patient?

building mechanics in game [Discussion]

2 mechanics I would like to see come to NMS:

First, to be able to scan freighters and get how their built, then have a facility where we can build our own, depending on what parts we choose from the list we have scanned. Cost would be both nanites and credits, only way to build it would be only on star bases or anomaly.

Second, starships, we can tear them down and upgrade, we should be able to keep a ship design scanned and build our own, again credit and nanites based build, using the facility to tear apart ships.

It would add more customizability to the game, only 1 freighter allowed and can only be built if you have all resources, ships would require cogs, and the manufacturing resources to build them, along with freighters.

Would make those items more important.

Thoughts?

Favorite Multi tool Weapons [Question]

Hey everybody! I just completed my first derelict freighter run in normal mode yesterday (I somehow missed that these even existed until exp 7) and I realized my current multi tool loadout is suboptimal when it comes to dealing with those tiny little buggers.

What are your favorite/best multi tool combinations? And does anyone have any recommendations for dealing with these hordes of little bugs easily?

Players Frozen [Question]

Not sure if anyone can help, but I returned to NMS after the recent update, ever since I started again all players inside the social hub are frozen in place. Even ships flying in are just frozen in place.

Tries the usual restart, different save, verify files, even went so far as to install it on a different drive.

Checked online, and on steam, but no joy on finding an answer. Figured I would try my luck here.

It's not really game breaking, not going to lose sleep over it, but it sucks not being able to chat or find people to party up with and go on adventures with.

Haven’t played in >1 year, what have I missed? [Question]

I haven’t played in, I wanna say at least a year. Binged it when I first played, beat the main story, got a living ship, then would just randomly explore.

I’ve been thinking of playing again. Is there anything new to the game I might wanna know about? Some cool new ships/features?

Increase Collection Size [Question]

Is their any way to increase the collection size of your ships? I'm at the point where I need to trade in my current ship in order to buy a new one. I'm a bit annoyed as I know these ships are stored as bits of code outside owning a freighter, so why ever they have a hard cap is a bit beyond me.

​

Thanks

How I Survived Permadeath Expedition 7 [Discussion]

I did NOT think I could finish this very hard expedition but thanks to this community and to those players who made some great bases, I didn’t give up, and after 20 hours of play time, I’m done. 🥳Here are some of the things which were key for me along the way: There are some fantastic bases on the very first starter planet and on other planets too which can significantly speed up your progress and help you not die. Turn off multiplayer at these bases. Make or buy lots of launch fuel. Alternatively, some of the space station NPC’s sell Uranium. Every time you land recharge your launch thrusters. You don’t want to get stuck needing to summon your ship only to find out your ship has no fuel. I almost died once by making this mistake. Be extremely careful when using your jetpack. It doesn’t have the capability of your normal save file. Two times I almost died because I was jet packing up and took damage coming down. Aggressive animals can kill you if they strike twice. Avoid them or kill them, unless you are trying to feed them but be very careful because they may strike just before you successfully feed them. Extreme Storms can and will kill you. Take shelter until the storm passes. Fly low to the ground when inside a planet’s atmosphere to avoid pirate detection or to lose them if they start attacking you. On all anchor planets, once you find the anchors and then search for and find the memories, summon your ship so it’s parked directly next to the memory BEFORE you activate the memory. Horrors spawn at the 1st Anchor memory and sentinels spawn on the rest of the Anchors memories. Your ship can save you from being killed. Whispering eggs. At any space station, look for a base called “Safe Eggs”. This is where I completed the whispering egg mission. The horrors can easily kill you. Use one of the bases that have already been built for safe egg collection....

Goodbye, stay safe travellers. [Information]

I have been playing this game for a couple of years or so, and have been part of this sub for about the same amount of time.

Recently, there was a post on here, and I made a slightly negative comment on purpose (albeit for the first time) there as I thought it was funny.

This wasnt received well, and that was fine with me as well since it was meant to be like that. Unfortunately someone (u/dumpotato1418) took that a little too seriously, to the extent of tracing my IP and posting those details on here.

Feeling a little too unsafe, and also stupid for trusting the integrity of people on the internet.

Anyways, this is it for me. I wish you all the best of luck with your travels; and apologies for all the times I may have caused trouble to anyone.

Stay safe, use a VPN. It was really nice and fun learning all things about this game and sharing all the different experiences. You guys are an amazing community, however there are bound to be some creeps everywhere, its unavoidable. Goodbye, and thank you for a great time!

First day on the game, spawned on a scorched biome, should I move? [Question]

So it’s my first day and I don’t know what to expect.

I spawned on a volcanic planet (had to look up the name of the biome) and I’m having a hard time gathering resources since plants are scarse. The tutorial lead me here and made me build my base here, but I’m wondering if I should look for another easier, more beginner friendly planet (and how to do so).

Will the turorial still go on if I move to another planet? or am I forced to play in this biome?
