Do I need to do a leviathan expedition to see new things? [Question]

So just a general question I suppose, but I have a save from roughly the derelict ships update and underwater update, somewhere around that point anyway and wanted to ask. Do I need to do the new expedition to see all the new solar sail ships, living ships & leviathan's? Or am I just unlucky in my journeys? Thanks a million!

A new glitch that needs to be confirmed... [Question]

Recently I was "confronted" with a new glitch while hunting for freighters...

I kill one pirate attacking the freighter, then I decide to go in the station in case the freighter could be valuable.

After autosaving, I exit the station to find the freighter but with no more pirates attacking it🥳

I was in Expedition 7 and the freighter was big flat type in A class so I bought it😜

That was yesterday...

Today after a while I jumped in a system with pirates attacking the freighter, again I killed one pirate, but I saw the freighter was a big Sentinel type with balls...

Why not try to get it in S class?

I went to the station, autosaved, came out to find the freighter with no more pirates, again.

As I wanted a S class I repeated the process without having to fight pirates at all, it makes the process much faster🥳

SO, MY QUESTION IS : CAN OTHER PLAYERS CONFIRM IT IS A NEW GLITCH?

Epilog :

Fast process but the odds were not in my favor and after some hours I quit the game without my S class freighter 🥴

But I will continue the hunter tomorrow 😃

using NMSCoordinateExchange (question) [Question]

Heya all, I have a quick question regarding the NMSCoordinateExchange Reddit.

There are findings of ships with portal coordinates: are these all crashed ships, or did the players found the ship in station and bougt them?

Sorry if that question sounds stupid, I could not find a clear answer to this. Thank you in advance!

S class freighter [Screenshot / Question]

Hello guys, found this beauty location on web and just had to get it, after about 20-30 reloads did i get S class version, but it seems to be limited with inventory slot max upgrade, im not sure why. So kind of searching for advice how to proceed. Will i need more slots ? MAX at current state seems to be 35+7

I'm stuck (in the metaphorical sense, I mean) [Question]

I feel like I'm missing something. My only Primary Missions listed are Atlas Path, Space Anomaly, and New Beginnings - none of which seem to have me do anything in particular. Is there somewhere I need to go or something I need to do that I'm not doing?

Sorry to be so vague, I'm just tired of doing the same stuff over and over again.

Possibly a dumb question about the hyperdrives. [Question]

This is possibly a very dumb question about the hyperdrive, cadmium drive, emeril drive, and indium drive. When I've unlocked, build and equipped the indium drive, do I still need the emeril drive and cadmium drive, to access red and green systems, or could I just dismantle them? I'm still kind of new to this game, and this subreddit has helped me a lot of times, so I hope it'll be able to help me again.

Question about potential bugs [Question]

So me and my mate both downloaded the game with the intention of playing it together. He started the game and I joined him. We started progressing through the ‘story’ together. I started getting through the missions quicker than him, and this is when we started noticing weird things for him.

I got the storage container blueprint from my base computer, and now he can’t seem to get the blueprint. He has the mission to do it, but isn’t getting the blueprint.

Then I got the free freighter from saving it from attacks. He then found a freighter under attack, but wasn’t able to claim it as his.

It’s starting to put him off the game. I’m just wandering if anyone else has experienced something like this?

Missing Building Part Set? [Question]

Watching a video by Xaine's World on YouTube and in this video ( Ultimate Money Making in No Man's Sky | Stasis Device Farming Mega-Guide, Units & Building NMS - YouTube, 38:10) he shows example power/utility towers. They appear to be built out of a tile set that I'm either not able to access or has been removed or changed. Can anyone confirm this?

Leviathan was not that enjoyable (Just hear me out) [Discussion]

Unpopular opinion I know, but I just want to say what I think about this expedition. I got around to doing it and after finishing it I really didn't like it much. I mean, I liked playing until the 2nd or 3rd phase and then I forced myself to finish it because of the cool rewards, but not because I wanted to do the expedition itself. It's not because it was "too hard" or anything, survival mode is good and it just teaches you to play carefully (although small inventory sucks lmao), and it's not because of the permadeath because you can blitz through past stuff if you know what you're doing. It's because it went entirely against what I feel the game is about.

It's supposed to be a cool space game where you can chill, explore, and have a fun time. If the game is too easy, just put on survival mode, but that's entirely up to you. If you want a hard-core challenge, do a permadeath run, but again that's up to you. Nothing is uniquely locked behind those gamemodes except their respective achievements. But with this expedition it's different, because if you want to get the cool ass rewards, you have to go through the survival mode difficulty with the permadeath-but-not-actually-permadeath business, and that goes completely against what I said earlier. You want a cool cape to wear in your casual save? You have to fight tooth and nail and go through a lot of the expedition to get to it. God forbid you want the leviathan freighter. It doesnt take long to finish once you get the hang of it, but when compared to how complex it is in how many steps and hoops you have to jump through then yeah it's pretty damn long.

So, my final point is that the expedition is amazing, it has some cool themes and concepts and insanely cool rewards, but I just didn't enjoy it much because it goes against what I think the main goal of the game is and forces you to go through hell and back...

Met Space Santa Claus Today? [Discussion]

Hey there! First time posting!

So, I’m a casual player. I just kinda like to cruise along and not worry about things, you know? I like to enjoy the game at my leisure and though I’d love to have the funds and means to do whatever I want in the galaxy, it’s been slow progress to get there.

Well, today, I hopped onboard the Anomaly for a mission I was doing, and suddenly found a packet of items worth about 250 MILLION units deposited in my inventory by a stranger. The same items also went into everyone else’s inventory on the anomaly as they ran around gifting them. True chaotic good! I had to grub up my old headset just to hop on and thank them for their kindness, as I’m on PS4 and can’t send text chats.

They proceeded to show me around and show me some of their awesome ships, pets, and frigates, and generously dumped even more essential items in excess into my inventory along the way. I’m floored. Never, EVER in my life have I encountered someone so helpful and friendly in a multiplayer game. Let alone so generous. I hope to be able to pay that kindness forward when I have the means in-game someday.

So, to the mysterious benefactor who just made my whole week - thank you. You’re an absolute legend.

Inducing an egg [Question]

Settlement bug? can't find another settlement [Bug]

So I just discovered a new paradise planet, I'm the only person who lives on this planet and I wanted to change my settlement location, every time I use a settlement chart it literally keeps pointing me to my current settlement which I'm trying to get rid of?

Help with ship hunting please [Question]

I'm on PS4, I've been really into ship hunting in NMS lately. I'm trying hard to find that perfect Solar ship, but running into problems. I've been using the portal and glyphs to go to places people have posted saying they got a certain kind of Solar Ship there. I go to the place the glyphs send me, find a trade depot and set up my save beacon, spend hours ship hunting there and never find the ship I'm supposed to find. I got these pics I've posted from reddit and after hours and hours never once saw the ships pictured there. I thought maybe updates to the game were causing things to change and the ships not to be there, but even using a glyph code from as recent as two months ago gave me the same issue.

Does anyone know what the issue is? And is there a collection of reliable glyph codes somewhere?

#

How about a nautical update? [Suggestion]

I’d love to see an update which put trade stations on coast lines, and added a whole subset of nautical craft (maybe ship upgrades to dive underwater).

I feel the oceans are vastly under appreciated and underused in this game

What do I do? I am beyond capped with units, have bulk of every resource/farm, but need massive nanites! [Discussion]

So I have about 400 days on my main save- all exotic ships, fully maxed, etc. but now they’ve opened up new slots and I want to get more, but need lots of nanites to upgrade all the new things.

I have so many bases, all with the goal of building fusion ignitor/stasis devices. But I realize I got capped at like 4.3 billion units (is this correct?) so now I have something like 500 extra stasis devices and 500 igniters (or more, haven’t counted but they fill several storage cubes).

I also have cooked every food in the game, etc. my fleet is all S rank. All ships and freighter are maxed. All reputations are maxed.

So I think the only thing left for me is to use the new slots for more guns and ships and stuff but that all takes TONS of nanites.

I don’t dupe. So is the only way to buy ships and melt them and sell upgrades or do the sentinel hunt over and over?

Is there any kind of money sink that could help me turn the -way too much cash— I have into useable nanites?

I am also happy to hop on with people and give them resources they might need. In real life I’m a bit of a hoarder so my NMS file is the same and I want to give back. Not thrilled living in a palace of excess anymore with nothing to use it for!

What video card should I get, only for NMS [Question]

Looking locally I have a few options not sure which one would handle NMS properly. In Nvidia Several brands of GTX 1650 about $300 RTX 3050 about $500

AMD RX 6400 $300 RX 6500 $300-360 RX 6600 $500

Those are New Zealand dollars in the price range I can cope with, Don't need to comment on price unless it's to say you must go to the next level up perhaps. More asking about is AMD or Nvidia a better choice and is the lower spec cards going to be a bad compromise? Do either brand have a better integration with NMS?

Currently playing on PS5 BTW but thinking about having a PC to play with as well.

Performance issues during multiplayer [Question]

My partner and I have been trying to play together recently. However, she is now experiencing FPS issues when joining my lobby. This wasn't a problem a while back when playing.

It is also only present when joining a lobby, if she plays solo then there is not issue, fairly consistent 70ish FPS but when joining my lobby performance drops to <30 FPS with really bad screen tearing.

Her PC specs are:

GTX 1070

16gb ram

i7-4790

Running at 2560x1080 from an SSD.

Have tried all the performance increasing fixes out there but nothing prevents the terrible drop when joining multiplayer lobbies.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Getting frequent FPS drops with minimal settings on a 3060ti. [Question]

I used to play using a 1060, but after upgrading to a 3060ti, I was expecting that the FPS drops would go away, but they haven't. In the old days when we had those shiny ground planets, before the universe completely changed—the Thalium9 days, I would be lucky to get 10 FPS. Now, I'm getting drops down to 20 FPS while traversing a planet.

I put every option down to the lowest, and it doesn't help. My biggest wonder is if there is a network bottleneck as my internet speeds are not always the fastest (I tether through my mobile). I've got two monitors so I will leave a resources monitor open to watch for that.

The other component is that my processor is a i5-7600K @ 3.8 GHz, overclocked to 4.7 GHz. I can also watch this is the resource monitor.

The short of it is that it's really terrible that when my settlement gets attacked that the game drops to 10 FPS as I try to dog-fight the attacking ships. I get that the settlements have a lot more going on, but these drops also are in unpopulated areas, just far less.

Help?

Can someone help me? [Question]

I was traveling around and wanted to visit the Galactic HUB Project - so I went to HUB-1-1 [Tepper] on Planet Lepios. There was a base called „HUB1 Self-Registration“ so I thought I might go there. Once there I was told to save at a certain save beacon. I did. That was the biggest mistake. Because right now I can not leave this base!

If someone could stand outside, so that the sensors are triggered I might be getting out. Otherwise my save file will be lost.

Can someone help me please?

Finding my own crashed ship... [Question]

Old/new to this - I played back at launch, got a refund, and picked it up again this week.

I found a crashed ship, and realized that I couldn't repair it to get it flying, so I went back to my newbie ship and flew off again. I can see that the other ship is still registered to me in the Summon Ship function, but because it doesn't have a working engine, it can't be summoned.

I have a base on the same planet, and AFAIK not too far from the crash, but I'm having no luck finding it again. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks HG, for Expedition 7 [Discussion]

I know the permadeath bit annoyed some players. But for me and my love of roguelikes it really kick-started my playing.

I recently, finally, started playing again after not really touching the game for a few years. As in ... I played a bit but never reached the core. Still haven't ... yet. And so never touched any of the expeditions, either.

But recently I was traveling for a month and ended up getting an Xbox (S) rather than lug my PC and joysticks across country. And NMS was my only space game.

When I got back home, I fired it up and read up on the expedition and it was right up my alley. I was a little worried that starting with only a little over 2 weeks left would be a problem but I finished today.

I've been a permadeath player since MUDs in the 80s and, by far, the most time I have on mobile games is stuff like Pathos and Pixel Dungeon. 2020 was the year of Hades for me.

This expedition was great. I made it to Anchor 4 on my 3rd run but fell to my death during a wall of fire at night on a mountain top. My next 2 runs were very short, which was fine, and my 6th run was a full run.

Since I'd never played through even on Normal, being able to farm upgrade modules and not have to stress on inventory gave me a way to learn more without needing to either spend time googling or spend much more time slowly exploring the basic mechanics of things like the freighter or exocrafts, I could just jump in. The collective memories and retained upgrades (like storage on the freighter, and bases) mechanics really felt like good compromises between a full hardcore Permadeath reset and the easier Survival/Normal modes. It felt very much like Hades runs on steroids where even when you die you still have a progression that eventually makes things easier.

I'm hooked. I just put my Survival save on hiatus. I'll reach the end of the story for the first time in my new permadeath...

A Huge Thank You to Berzerker1983445!!!!! [Discussion]

I know this is not the most important post of all time, and if it needs to be taken down I understand (still fairly new to reddit), but I just wanted to throw this out on reddit in case they ever see this.

I just really want to say thank you to Play Station user berzerker1983445. I had sat my controller down for a few minutes as I stepped away while my character was on a space station, and when I came back I was just being gifted tons and tons of Starship AI Valves and ten Void Eggs. You have singlehandedly turned me into a billionaire from roughly 12,000,000. I cannot say thank you enough!

I wish I could've typed in chat, but hopefully you heard me through my headphones I hastily grabbed. You are the greatest, and I'm going to pay this forward on the Anomaly right now! There truly is good in the galaxy!

Is it worth dumping my best Frigates to replace them with colour matching ones? [Question]

So, I've come across this 3 star economy with literally the exact same colour scheme as my freighter (white with green). They're literally the exact same shades and everything. I was wondering if S class frigates ever evolve after maxing out? Do they get better stats or are they capped? Would it not matter to just replace them all with the matching coloured ones and evolve those to S class (plus a lone Leviathan from the expedition lol).

Freighter battle saves nerfed? [Question]

Normally I'd head off into the SS to drop an auto save and then rejoin the battle. If the capital ship isn't the spec I want I'll then reload that save. I've tried this a couple of times now and when I exit the SS ... There is no battle anymore?!

I've tried reloading a hard save at the previous system hoping that the next warp would then be the battle... nope... No battle there either. ☹️

Mission: Ghosts in the Machine (Cant hire a scientist) [Bug]

I am currently on the GHOSTS IN THE MACHINE mission. I have created a base, hired an overseer, and created a science station. Now I need to hire a Korvax Scientist but every time I go to any space station the only one requesting to be hired is another overseer or a guy looking to be hired for the exocrafts which I don't have access to yet.

Glitch System [Bug]

So the quest step before The Purge transported me to a system of glitched planets that is in itself a glitch. Now there are 5 planets, all of them glitch planets. 1 bubble, 1 egg, 3 fractured. The entire system is formed like a regular system and the planets are marked as what they are supposed to be, but they all glitched into glitch planets. 2 of the planets have a regular animal listing and the only thing on them is the usual 1 glitch fauna which when scanned is listed as extinct. 1 planet is listed as lifeless with no fauna. 1 planet is actually supposed to be a glitch planet, so it is run of the mill. The most unusal of all is a glitch planet that has regular animals on it and inhabitants, stations and all. All the planets have the usual glitch fauna including reality glitches. How unusual is that?

I've determined that the Wiki is either wrong, or there are hidden value modifiers for starships.. [Question]

So I've been farming exotic ships, trying to get a 'perfect' white/gold Royal only to find that the ships I've collected have core damage range outside the 15% range the wikipedia suggests...

So far my lowest core damage was 182.6 while my highest was 208.6 Even assuming the 182.6 had a minimum 35% bonus, while the 204.2 had a max 50%, the base stats would then need to be 135.25 and 139.06 respectively... meaning there's a 2.7% unaccountable gap in the damage stats of these identical ships... What gives? I've spent close to 8 hours over the last 2 days trying to get to the bottom of this mystery to no avail... can anyone explain why these numbers are so hard/impossible to nail down?

This mystery only becomes more perplexing when I changed to farming an exotic with an identical model, different name, in a different system & found core damage stats as low as 167! Meaning this exotic's base is perhaps as low as 123.7! Meaning there's a stat gap of 11% which can't be attributed to the damage bonus! So to me this indicates that the base stats have a rather large range, on top of the bonuses that are applied after...If this is the case, has anyone been able to data mine these numbers?

I'm going to get a lot of hate for this.. [Discussion]

As a day 1 player of this game, and someone who has only stuck around in recent years to keep up with the progress and updates, I have decided to finally shelve No Man's Sky. With as much as 1,000 hours of gameplay under my belt, I feel I'm entitled to have an opinion and share it with the world.

  1. The repetition is on a whole other level. Once you've seen between 20 and 40 planets, you've basically seen what the entire universe has to offer.

  1. You can see what an entire planet has to offer within 100 yards of wherever you land your ship.

  1. The fact that there's life in just about every single star system, completely strips the game of being able to enjoy adventure and exploration. There should only be life on 1 planet per every 50 to 100 star systems. It would make finding life all the more rewarding and worthwhile.

  1. The planets with life should have more than 20 creatures. Hell, the oceans should be teeming with life, like Subnautica. Have any of you ever gone on a nature walk? There are so many sounds and so much activity. This is what No Man's Sky is lacking.

All of that said, I'm going to be preparing for STARFIELD . . . at least it has graphics which are on the realistic side of gaming.

Are living ships popular now? [Discussion]

Living ships are my favorite. I received my first one on my main save as soon as I could and used only it since that moment. I very like how it looks and I also installed many upgrades on it. But are they really better than other kinds of ships? Finding upgrades on living ships is much harder than buying upgrades on regular ships on space stations. Does anyone use them or they are just good part of a ship collection?

Vy’Keen and Gek customization is sort of a letdown… [Suggestion]

  1. They got nothing in the Quicksilver shop. Even the Gek specific First Spawn helmet doesn’t work on Gek! 2) There are plenty of Heads available to NPCs that aren’t available to players, limiting the variety. 3) Vy’Keen, the token Klingon warrior race, can’t equip capes? What blasphemy is this?!

As I really enjoy both races moreso than the stock Anomaly-Human I’m really hoping for these easy fixes, such as the Heads and Capes. So fixable and would lead to such a quality update.

Is it time for a fresh start? [Question]

I recently got back to playing No Man’s Sky, and it has certainly evolved A LOT over the past few years (I think I haven’t played since bases and exo-craft were first introduced). That said, I’ve put about 60 hrs into my current play and completed the Artemis challenge and have many of the upgrades, but I am starting to feel that it would be better to start over and take advantage of all of great things that have been added.

Is it worth it to bail on my current game and get a fresh start? All thoughts are appreciated!

S.O.S. on Exp.7 finalization [Question]

" Houston, we have a problem" :/

I am at the final stage of the 7th Expedition: Anchor Point 5 – Reach the final anchor point

So I am definetly in correct star system (Sophys), but there is no Anchor point while I'm flying between the planets (!!?!!) I even understand that there should be that "Infested Paradise planet" in the middle, but there is no mark on it! ((o_O)) Is it a bug? Or I did something wrong?

Now I'm trying to locate the Portal like it was in previous three times, but they say that point should be not the Portal but the ship. In that case there is no way to locate it with the Map or Exocraft scanner.. :/

Atlas missions part of Leviathan? [Question]

I finished the Atlas missions in normal mode and birthed the star, but for some reason, they're still showing up in my log. They are also in my log for Leviathan. I did the first one and got the bp for captured nanode, and it seems to be the exact same setup as the main story. Is this supposed to be there (what I'm really asking is if it's worth it to craft all the required parts and visit all the stations for this expedition)?

If it matters, I already have all 16 glyphs in my discoveries and I'm about to start phase 5 of the expedition

#

Cause of Random Insta-Death? [Question]

I was minding my own business, editing my base. Specifically, deleting some parts. No hazardous temperatures, no angry sentinels, no danger at all (that I was aware of). Then, something damaged my shield. I was sent flying easily 100 meters forward, where I then smacked into the side of a mountain and died instantly.

That was the end of my permadeath save. It all happened in the space of about 1 second.

Anyone have any idea what might have caused this? I know it's not a lot of information to go off of, but maybe someone else has experienced something similar.

I guess it might have been an aggressive animal...but I haven't encountered any of those yet. And any animal that could knock the player that distance would be extremely OP.

No Man‘s Sky without PS Plus [Question]

Hey everyone. I‘m thinking about getting No Man‘s Sky for my PS5. However, I don’t have PS Plus (and don’t intend on paying for my internet connection twice).

So how much would I be missing if I played the game without PS Plus? Is it something that’s rarely even done outside of playing with friends (I don’t know anyone who plays the game) or am I going to be cut off of an important part of the game?

How to find this kind of planet - bubbles, surreal colors, limited weather, etc. [Question]

What am I losing out playing on Xbox Series X vs PC? [Question]

I am fortunate to own an Xbox Series X and a high end 1440p gaming machine(rtx 3080 ti). I'm a software developer and work from home all day at my desk. I would prefer to go downstairs on the couch with my Xbox than sit at my desk to play if possible.

How much of the experience will I be losing by playing on the Xbox Series X vs PC? I don't care for Mods so thats out of the picture. My buddy and I will start a fresh start together, he will be on PC playing through Microsoft Game Pass on PC. The only other disadvantage is I won't have access to discord so we would have to use xbox voice which shouldn't be bad. I wish cross save was an option. Anything else I'm missing??

The Mystery of Damage Potential Which The Wiki Fails to Explain! [Discussion]

https://preview.redd.it/gtixmnc260891.png?width=770&format=png&auto=webp&s=a5640c4ee56f98eb43cbd705f66803bbaf624537

As shown above, while farming for a 'perfect' exotic ship, I've found ships with core damage potential ranging from 160.4 to 209.2! Why is this an issue? Well, let's assume the 162.1 has the minimum class bonus of 35%, that means the Exotic's base Damage Potential is 118.8. Meaning the maximum possible core damage potential I should have been able to find would have only been 178.2. Yet I've found a 209.2.... Which, similarly, if we assume has a maximum class modifier of 50%, it indicates the Exotic's base damage potential should be 139.5.. This means there's a 20.4 point difference (or >14%) gap which is unaccountable for, based upon the current information available on the Wikipedia.

Not able to quick transfer items to Freighter [Bug]

Hi All,

I have this annoying issue that I can't quick transfer items to the Freighter even when all the tech and containers are build. It only works for me once I am in a base that has the containers.

Can someone advise what to do ? I rebuilded the Matter tech on the Freighter and the containers already but that didn't help.

Finished expedition 7, keep save file? [Question]

#

Zoos and Gardens [Suggestion]

An excellent addition to the game would be the ability to build gardens with the flora you have scanned through your travels. The game could make it atmosphericly based if it wants where you can only plant flora from the same biome on a particular world. If they wanted to just let us build there would be no limits and you could plant whatever you've discovered. This would add a whole new level to base building for some of us and you can just imagine the gardens some people will come up with, full of fantastical species from all over the place.

Similarly, if we were given the ability to make zoos with creatures we've discovered it would also add a whole new element to the game that companions just scratched the surface of. Think of the elaborate Jurassic-park-style zoos of far out creatures people would come up with!

So far there is no real way to display discoveries of flora and fauna, and that is such a large element of the game for many of us! Exploring around discovering all unique creatures and plants is the point of the game, a feature like this would allow a new depth of base building and reward consistent exploration. Everyone's discovery data is stored so it could be retroactively incorporated into existing games seemingly easy.

What do you guys think, would this be a good addition to the game?

Question about Expedition 7 character generator [Question]

I started playing recently (about a month or so) and have a character with shy of 100 hours on it.

I just completed the Leviathan expedition today, and notice that the random character that it generated has the Rainbow jetpack trails (I do not have this unlocked, like I mentioned I have only been playing about a month). Two of my friends that are doing this expedition as well do not have those.

I tested creating a whole new save but the character and ship I got on it were the exact same ones from the ones I completed the expedition with.

So my question, has anyone else had random rewards from previous expeditions applied to their random character when they generated it?

I am really tempted to just keep this character since it has something that my main does not.

I glitch-built a massive AI farm, can I share it’s coordinates so everyone here could harvest? [Question]

TL;DR - I built an AI mine too big for my own good (50,000/hr). It’s very near the 3,000 limit. Extractors were glitched in place, the base was extended to an EM hotspot with a daisy chain of batteries, and some terrain was removed. Will sharing it with the world break it?

I got the game a couple of months ago and currently have 150ish hours on it. I tried to fast-track my understanding of game mechanics since then. That said, I have no idea what bases should and shouldn’t be shared. It’s also badly laid out and ugly, but it’s my first big build so shhhh

I found the exact placement for 100%, marked it with a stone plate, then glitch-built 4 extractors and around 30 silos per level in a manner that avoids diminishing returns, building up instead of out to stay in that sweet 100% spot (snapping floors made it really easy to place the four extractors every time).

At 20 levels with 2,500 each, this gives me an output of ~50,000 AI per hour (the top level actually harvests 2,495, so it’s 49,995 to be precise). You don’t need a maths degree to see why this is an obnoxious output for one player. I’ve also capped the total storage at 660k, as I don’t have the patience or the metal plates to make any more (660k should fill an upgraded hauler, give or take).

I wanna ask you guys if anything here can be game-breaking or base-breaking, if not I’ll happily share it’s coordinates for everyone to harvest. I’ve already built 6 landing pads so you can sell to the pilots coming in, though the price in the system is -13% because I was stupid at the start of this save.

I'd really like to see a "Improved Multiplayer" update TBH [Suggestion]

So, a fair few months ago, I tried to get one of my best friends into NMS. We'd previously played Elite: Dangerous on and off after I bought it for him on Steam as a gift, so I thought it'd be cool to see how he liked another space sim.

In the end, it didn't quite end up being to his taste. Our first session was fairly frustrating for him, as the game initially didn't detect his graphics card (and tried to use his machine's Intel display card instead of his more powerful Nvidia card), and his internet connection kept dropping out due to some issue on his end. When we finally got it working though, we found that the multiplayer is kinda wonky.

I know NMS isn't as much of a "MMO" as Elite: Dangerous or the perpetually unreleased Star Citizen, and is more of a "singleplayer, but you can run into other people" sort of game. But, at the same time, just meeting up at my home base was something we could not achieve because when he started, he didn't have the resources or the knowledge to go through the process of finding a gate so we could head to my system.

Using multiplayer in a private session does allow you to just drop in wherever the host is, but then you're in a private session, and are wherever your friend is in the galaxy, which could be on the other side of the 'verse from wherever you've set up. In addition, there's no way to ping your system's location on the star map for friends, or ping your location relative to another player, and the distances are way too vast to just jump there, unless you both ended up in the same region of the galaxy by sheer cosmic chance.

The problem is that the game lacks some pretty basic tools that a multiplayer space sim should have. I've already mentioned the lack of a map ping, but you also can't search system names (which I think should also give you the gate address so long as you have all of the...

Customization of ships [Discussion]

I have been thinking this and I’m sure a bunch of others have but I am hoping down the road we get the feature to “make” or customize our ships (color texture stuff like that) I was thinking maybe even finding parts or having the parts that we can only sell play a roll in the building process. I was thinking also you can deconstruct your ship and kind of Frankenstein the parts together to make a one of a kind ship for yourself… idk if that’s possible it just like at the ship scrap module that it separated by sections of the ship (they also really need to add a menu where you can see all your ships/ select them in that thing!!!) so that could be where it’s done and then you can build a sort of garage at your base to do it there too maybe finally make a blueprint to add a ship scrap module to base/ freighter!!!

Then at some point do something like this with multi tools!!!! With a menu and all that you can see stats and compare and get rid of….

What’s y’all’s thoughts on something like this? Obviously it would probably be years down the line

Nepitzaspru Interesting rolled planet region.... [Question]

Hi NMS adventurer's,

I was out bebopping my way through the multiverse in Nepitzaspru last night, and came across what I thought was indeed rare, thought I would run it by the community. I found, a region that had 4 different systems (so far), within 200ly of each other, with 3+ Lush planets in each one (decent statted, no sents/weather/oceanic), for a total of 12 planets within 200ly. Each system is 3 star Gek, Vyk and Korvax. It seemed like a good move in spot for a large online community (if enough are bouncing around Nepitzaspru lol.

Whenever a building is finished building or requires extra materials, the quest indicator thing at the bottom right of the HUD will repeatedly flash, causing the game to stutter.

Save points not working at all [Bug]

I am on day 2 of NMS. Love the game so far. However, I am experiencing a fatal bug:

I can’t save.

I’ve looked online and it seems that a lot of people have been having this issue for the games entire lifetime, and few have found a fix.

It seems to be auto-saving after about an hour of play time, but then I can’t get it to save again. Save beacons don’t work, getting in and out of the ship does work.

The only auto-save I can reload is from over an hour ago and there is no manual save available.

Wishing There Was An Official NMS Feedback Page [Suggestion]

While I enjoy the latest updates, I truly wish to convey how much ship navigation needs an improvement.

Example: I visited a monolith recently and needed to hop up to my freighter for the offering to reach the system's portal. I forgot to leave a marker and realized it after getting into space - by then I had lost the monolith icon to return back. After 30 minutes of flying around and several planetary maps, I decided to give up on it.

Requested ship/navigational improvements:

An interface (within the Discovery tab) to click on a discovered planet and insert coordinates to receive a waypoint on such planet.

Once a location has been discovered on a planet (i.e., trading post, monolith, portal), then the icon remains at least for the duration of your time in that system.

Updated ship/cockpit instrumentals for flying. In some cases, it would be nice to have a visual indicator or number to give you an elevation reading; this would be helpful in foggy locations.

Revamp or increase the types of ships. I technically started the game on day 1 of release. Most of the ships today are the majority of ships seen from day 1 with some exceptions. I know we've had Exotics, Living ships, and Solars, but that's only a portion of the ship pool. We need a stronger variety of updated ships that aren't box-shaped. Please, no more boxed-grilled or shaped ships lol.

Max Damage Multiplier For Every Ship Discovered! LET THE HUNT FOR THE PERFECTION BEGIN! [Information]

After spending the past few days scouring the internet to try to find an answer for "What is the maximum damage multiplier for starships" I came to realize that after nearly 6 years, no one has an answer. The best anyone has to offer is insert link to wiki article with an exceptionally vague formula; a formula which I might add is INCORRECT!

While the wiki does have some extremely useful information, such as the range for Starship's Base Damage being between 33.8-56.7, it's formula for how to calculate damage potential is not only unhelpful, but actually wrong. But I digress. I'm not here to debunk the wiki, I'm here to provide answers! And perhaps, as the title suggests, spark a gold rush of sorts among the NMS community! The hunt... for PERFECT Starship seeds!

For those of you asking yourself "What constitutes a Perfect Starship Seed?" the answer is quite simple my friends!

A perfect Starship seed is a Starship with a maxed out "Base Damage" of 56.7 and maxed out Maneuverability of 445 (250 in case of a Hauler/Living Ship, or 330 for Shuttle).

Maneuverability is easy enough to identify. But how does one tell if a Starship truly has max Base Damage?

This is actually a rather tricky riddle to solve, but I'm aware of at least two solutions to this problem. The easy way & the legit way.

#1 The easy way is to use Save Editor to set damage bonus to 0, which will set the ship's Core Damage to it's Base Damage.

#2 The legit way involves a bit more work:

*To begin you'll need an Explorer or C class Shuttle/Explorer/Hauler, which you will use to 'benchmark' the candidate perfect ship.

*To benchmark a the candidate ship first make sure it is set as your active ship.

*Analyze the candidate and put it's "Core" damage potential into a calculator.

*Next, get into/summon your...

Huh? How?

On the tower...There is the lower thing to interact with and the higher one.

Problem is...on the lower one....when I interact...my character only understand a few words of wjatever language it is....and I have no idea what to do next. I am so confused.

I looked this up and there is supposed be Triangulation or something...but I'm not there. It just says Speak to Artemis...but again...

How?

What am I missing? Do I need to buy translation stuff to actually speak to Artemis?

Another Bug-Related Leviathan Permadeath Post [Bug]

As we all do, I spent an inordinate amount of time organizing my inventory space. I spend hours mining, jumping, pulsing, and grinding. Then I die from a biological horror while I’m in my exocraft, firing the cannon. Why spend hours when I die to the same old glitches? It’s infuriating, and for all the excellent content in the game, it’s ridiculous that some of the most basic and persistent bugs have not been addressed. Don’t force me to play a game mode I hate just so I can try to enjoy the new content. I got other shit I could be doing than going back and collecting ancestral memories all over again.

Oculus Quest 2 VR with RTX 3060 TI settings to run game? [Question]

So I recently upgraded to a Quest 2. Used to run a Rift CV1. Game ran OK before, on a 1070 but with my new card I expected better results especially with a sharper headset.

But it ran like pure hot garbage yesterday. 1 fps looks and had to force quit the game.

What settings do I need to select to make the game playable in VR?

what are you currently working on? [Question]

I am currently doing several things at once. I discovered that 2 oxygen and 1 chlorine make 6 chlorine but you can only have 2 large refiners and 3 medium refiners. So...I'm jumping from one 3 star system to the next, grabbing suit upgrades, buying up all oxygen that I can get to farm more, and at the same time buying any, and every, ship I can afford to sell for storage augments to improve my S-Class exotic as well as S-Class improvements for hyperdrive and stuff. I have not completed any of the quests because I only have 3 ships, two of which are solar.

So, farming oxygen to farm chlorine while farming nanites and ship augments, S-Class improvements, and ships. Might farm buried technology today....

Second freighter battle not spawning no matter what I do. Please help [Question]

I have done up to 25 warp jumps and the second freighter battle never spawns.

I have waited over 3 in-game hours after the first one. I declined the first one after saving it. On what I believe was my 11th or 12th jump, I received a distress call to save a settlement, which I kept trying to ignore because I thought it was maybe interfering - eventually I broke down and did it, but didn't accept the overseer position.

I made it to the 25th warp and the 2nd freighter battle still is not spawning. I'm losing hope here, I've spent hours trying to figure out what the hell is going on. Can anyone please help me? This is seriously depressing/draining and it's making me lose motivation to keep playing.

How do I "Speak to Artemis"? (So confused.) [Question]

I am playing the Artemis Storyline. Already did the following (spoiler): Artemis was getting attacked by 16 something. I lost communication. I reestablished long distance communication on the tower. On the tower...There is a lower panel'ish thing to interact with and a higher one. I already interacted with the lower one. It is glowing yellow. Now it shows my destination as the higher panel'ish thing on the same tower--the "main" one on the very top round platform. There is a glowing red quest marker thing above it.

The quest goal for the current quest step says "Speak to Artemis."

However, I cannot interact at all with the upper quest marker. The lower one is glowing yellow and my character only understands a few words of whatever language it is. So, if I'm supposed to do something else here, I have no idea what.

I looked this up and there is supposed be Triangulation or something...but I'm not there. It just says Speak to Artemis...but again...

How?

What am I missing? Do I need to buy translation stuff to actually speak to Artemis?

Returning Player [Discussion]

So I have decided to jump back into the game after taking a very long break. I Deleted my 86 hour save file from back in the day and started fresh.

Electricity and wiring are new to me for some context.

I know I’ve missed out on a lot. Once again, it seems Hello games has given me a whole new game to discover via updates.

What are some of the biggest changes to the game? For example Ive noticed there’s kind of a better looking tech tree for base building, & you can feed animals? Also,

I’ve noticed a few bugs. Particularly on my freighter. A room I built disappeared. Looked like it led out to space I was scared to walk into it, and then it disappeared all together like I never even built it. Not sure if it respawned, I left the area and logged out. Any weird bugs to look out for?

Any tips, info, is appreciated. Can’t wait to dive back in.

I've left NMS a bit more than a year ago, and now i'm back to see what's new.

Companions, squad, new items, ok i'll handle. New ways to make money, new resources, let's dig into that, i'm fine.

But these Expeditions, and stuff, i'm 100% lost. Is this some long terme scenario for the weekly missions on anomaly? Is this supposed to have inpact on the game at global scale?

If one of you can provide me a "TL;DR version" of it, i'll be grateful!

First Traveler Crashed Freighter in a Volcano [Bug]

I've looked through this sub for anything on my situation and there is lots of good advice. However, they all seem to require "finding" the freighter. I found mine and it is literally buried underneath a volcano, none of which is destructible with the Terrain beam. I can't get the next mission segment to trigger as the freighter's interface is deep inside the volcano.

Most of the tips involving finding another freighter don't seem to work and I have something like a dozen keys.

This is my first time playing the game and I'm not going to restart from the beginning. I love this game so far, but this might be the end of the line for me.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Capital Freighter Rescue Mission Glitch [Information]

Ok, so this may not be new information because I've been away awhile, but I haven't seen it mentioned in any other posts so I thought I'd throw it out to the community.

There seems to be a glitch for acquiring Capital freighters at the moment where after triggering the rescue mission you can land in the space station, hop out of your ship to record a save point and the pirates disappear permanently. So on that initial save (no-reload) the pirates are gone and each time you re-load your save at the SS, there are no pirates to deal with. Just fly over to the triggered freighter, land on the freighter, check freighter class, if not S-Class, re-load SS save, rinse/repeat until you get the S-Class.

My conditions: I've done this 3 times now in the past 2 weeks (I believe Leviathan patches 3.92/3.93), each in a different system/Venator Class Resurgent Capital freighter, and only in Euclid (assume it would work for any rescue mission). I trigger the Capital freighter rescue mission, fly over to the freighter to take a few pics to ensure it's what I expected, get shot at by the pirates a little in the process, my 3 man exotic ship squadron flies in to help me (haven't picked up a fourth pilot yet), I don't shoot any pirates, just fly over to SS, land, hop-out/save (no re-load), hop back in my ship, fly out and the battle is over, blue light landing (e.g. not red/battle mode) on the freighter. Hop out of ship, use visor to check Class, if not S-Class, re-load my save that is at SS, fly out and there is no battle, just land and check class. Rinse/repeat until S-Class.

Anyone else experiencing this? Is this already know?

P.S. - First post, so let me know if I'm missing some posting rules.

Need serious help. [Question]

Just started the game a few hours ago and began the awakenings mission. But the planet has highly aggressive sentinels. I conventionally ran out of thruster fuel but managed to scramble around and find stuff enough to escape the planet.

But I can’t complete the mission because they pop and kill me constantly. Should I start the game over? I’m a complete newb and shocked I’ve even managed to get out of there.

I already found the beacon, but I freaked out as soon as I got there because they chased me and shot at me and stuff. It’s telling me to go back and “find the cache”. Any advice heeded and I can restart if I have to.

What's the current workaround for the problem of underground/inside mountain bases getting filled in? [Question]

I recently made myself a Batcave style base out of an existing cave system. That one seems to stay the way I made it without filling in (at worst, I had 2 very long corridors get filled in, but that was it).

So I then decided to make myself a base that was inside of a mountain & make it into a bar style of base. Well, that was created probably a week & 1/2 ago & I had been adding to it gradually. Went back to it the night before last & the WHOLE THING was filled in. You couldn't even see the wall with the door in it. I tried using the flattening terrain modifier but it only sorta worked. The floors still have ground/dirt showing & I can't get it to go away. It's like the perfect amount of clipping through where the terrain modifier can't quite reach it, but you can still see it.

What's the trick to keeping these bases from filling in? Or is there one?

Sound effect is off center while charging or exiting Pulse Jump [Bug]

I've been playing NMS for sometime now and I have that weird sound bug whenever I use Pulse Jump.

While I charge the Pulse Jump (hit space and wait) the charging sound is like in direction (?) of space station, depending where it is in relation to my ship, it's hard to describe. Only charging and exiting it is like that, the audio of activated Pulse Jump is centered and the rest sounds in game are intact.

It's just mildly annoying, but when you hear it for 200th time on play... you get the idea.

So, it's just my game or someone has noticed this bug too ? I'm on PC

So the gateway spawned in a volcano. I stupidly tried to enter it from the top because if I could enter it to reach it, I thought that’d be a cool and epic way to reach that part of the story, even if I could warp to another system and reset the mission.

But there was no entrance inside, only magma. I died, and I can’t reach my grave. My only manual save was from before I even reached the first glyph, 400 miles away from it, with the tech it took forever to fix still damaged.

Multiplayer quest bug or random quest bug? [Question]

I may have found a way to crash the "the purge" quest by playing it in multiplayer. I have been working on a multiplayer campaign and made it to the last portal upon activation both characters got stranded no ships no building...nothing, When I reloaded I was able to proceed to the next Galaxy and today when I logged on, the purge quest is still active and takes me close to the center of the Galaxy but proceeds no further.

This was really just a test of the multiplayer quest line because I see so many people commenting that multiplayer is broken. This is the 1st example I have found and I believe it's the last quest necessary.

I'd just like to know if the quest did not complete for anyone else in single player.

Also, I was tired and just ran to my ship and saved after I finally finished it so I can't test if a reload would fix it. Another thing, I did this all in coellosipp also to test how the story works in another galaxy, so we have multiple variables here.

So now I'm just testing stuff to see what "fixes" the problem.

Fixes Interactive objects such as Buried Technology Modules, Buried Caches, Damaged Machinery, Waypoints, Abandoned Buildings, and Freighter Crashsites will no longer appear under inaccessible terrain. All colors of freighters, including black, may now be repainted. The freighter landing bay section may now be repainted and will match the freighter's secondary color. Frigate expeditions now have a maximum duration of 30 hours. The jetpack no longer briefly loses power shortly after take off. Player-marked objects and items will no longer unmark themselves. The "display route to selected system" function on the Discoveries tab now works correctly on all platforms. New fugitive-pirate spawns in outlaw systems will no longer cause entire fleets to vanish. Deployed Navigation Markers will no longer disappear upon game exit. The third-person on-foot camera no longer auto-centers when exiting the analysis visor or while using the jet pack. The first-person on-foot camera no longer points at the floor when exiting a "pulse" animation. The Oxygen Tank Recharge option now correctly appears on the quick menu when underwater on planets with ambient hazards. Paired shuttle accessories now attach properly to the hull and no longer appear asymmetrical. Crashed Solar ships now correctly display the shape of the sails in the preview window. Crashed Exotic ships now correctly display their "docked" wing position in the preview window. The class of modules given by scrapping ships now correctly matches the class of ship being scrapped. Squadron members will continue to attack when the player is going in reverse. System freighters will no longer have invisible cargo...

The Space Hippy.....Soon to a galaxy near you. [Discussion]

"The Space Hippy"

So, you've played around 1000 hours of NMS, and find yourself toying with constant ideas, but losing grip on "give a damn to do it". You've been to the farthest reaches of the galaxy, you've seen space turtles and got the T-shirt, You've grown a 27m phallic fauna for giggles at your local space swap meet, and you've planetary raided sentinels strongholds to the point of being half-BORG and periodically, rather inadvertently, attracted to light receptacles. I feel you, it happens to the best of us. In that case space ranger, boy have I got the right anomaly for you. Introducing, what I'd like to call, the "Space Hippy".

I want to tell you a story. Somewhere, in a galaxy and time, not long ago, was a place ; and in that place, was a thing. A time not overrun with Atlas, but rather dominated by the fortnight frolicking of Vykeen bell-bottoms, the soothing aromatics of Gek'Nip, and spreading beatnick bytebeat tunes in your tricked out space jalopy to the furthest reaches of galaxy, man. It was in this time, that a new stellar anomaly would be born. This prodigal son of the stars, now made mortally manifest by overabundant Romulan ale and pitiful judgement, would soon see themselves rise, rise to seize the hearts, minds and microchips of the modern meek, and seek their mighty seat among the galactic elite. That, my friend, is you, and this little comet of memes, is your oyster to seize.

Life, life finds a way. Awakened, (in a timely manner, somewhere nearing 3pm on a Wednesday) ; you find yourself immediately crushed by a almighty shithammered disposition and all-to-familiar hangover from what could only have been, and epic party last night. What's a place like you, ending up in a guy like this? Gathering your senses, and quickly realizing the empty disposition of your trusty cellophane space baggy you blindly thumb for...

Aggressive Sentinels in Early Game? [Question]

I recently lost my permadeath save, so I'm starting over. Currently I'm doing Alone Amidst the Stars, where you have to find a Holo Terminus for the first time, to contact Artemis.

I was given a quest marker to find the terminus, but it's on an aggressive sentinel planet. When I land and get out of my ship to start the target sweep, sentinels immediately find me and call in their strike force.

Deciding that I didn't want to deal with that, I went to a different planet and flew around until I found a terminus on my own. But that one didn't let me contact Artemis at all. Apparently the game wants me to use the specific terminus it chose for me on a VERY inconvenient planet.

I know that I can burrow into the ground to evade the sentinels, but...doing that all the way to the holo terminus? Really? And once I got there, I imagine they'd just attack me while I'm climbing the ladders.

Any advice on the best way to deal with this?

Friends making a base next to mine in multiplayer. [Question]

My wife is going to play with me and we want to be on the same planet, if she joins my game and makes a base with a teleporter, then leaves, returns to her single player mode and goes to the space station in her starting system. Will she be able to teleport to her base next to mine and save her position there?

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...

Wouldn't be cool if they add White Holes? [Suggestion]

Basically, the title is self explanatory. It would be cool if White Holes were added in the game, as a counterpart to black holes. Maybe as an anomaly when you use pulse engine, or maybe more similar to how the black holes are placed. It would make sense that, when you warp through a black hole, you get pushed away very far, like to the other side of the system, by a White Hole... But they could also be implemented in the story.

(I made assumptions on what I saw on the internet, I know the scientist only theorized the existence of white holes, but even black holes were theorized and, after all, it's a space exploring game, it doesn't need to be real.)

Hey guys new player here, trying to find a system that is one warp jump away from my OG planet that had 2 paradise planets.

What do you like about this game/ what is your favorite part about it? [Discussion]

I've been playing this game alot recently and I've been having a blast. The thing is with games I usually can point to the reason I enjoy It so much. This game I can't, I'm having fun but I can't put my finger on why. So why don't you guys tell me what makes this game click for you or your favorite part about it. Plus I just find it interesting why people play this game.

What does it take to get an option to make everyone's communication station markers to disappear? [Discussion]

Without multiplayer being turned off, I shouldn't have to search for my base in a sea of +50 "Glory to Ukraine/Russia" or "Subscribe to JoeBlow/ on Twitch.com <3" communication stations every time I enter a previously visited system.

It's bad enough I can't do anything about the big ass mission screen taking up the bottom right of my screen, but adding multiplayer clutter is making my screen too busy.

Anyone else thing we need custom HUD options?

Previous Expeditions [Question]

Hi, I've started playing NMS after a bit of time away from the game and have returned to see I have already missed all the previous expeditions.

I saw they did re-run through them not too long ago (can't believe I missed that) and really I'm just wondering if there's any talk or any idea if they would be going through the previous Expeditions again any time soon? Or if they have any plans to add the rewards to the QuickSilver shop at high prices.

Favorite aspect of NMS? [Discussion]

What is your favorite aspect of No Man's Sky that should be included in other games?

I'll go first, my favorite aspect of NMS is how each planet is different and that leads to nearly unlimited playing time, as I want to find every type of planet out there. Having a sense of exploration that not a lot of games do really well. What's your favorite aspect?

What are the Point of Bases? [Question]

Hey everyone new to the game,

I feel maybe I'm missing something because I really do want to build a nice intricate base like how I did in Subnautica but, I feel like the game pushes you to leave and explore other systems.

Is there a way to get back home consistently or should you just pick a pretty system and set up shop basically?

What to do in endgame? [Question]

Hey guys, I want to preface this post by sharing a bit about what I’ve done. When I started NMS (my character is original since day one) my goal was to max out my character. I wanted to get max inventory slots, a maxed out ship, a maxed multi tool, and a maxed freighter. I’ve done all those things and also built several bases I’m proud of, finished all the main story quests, and established farming bases for units and nanites. I’ve got a fleet of mostly S-tier frigates, and a squadron in happy with. The question for me is this: what do I do now??? I could still finish getting 100% on all the alien languages, but for you guys who are in the end game, how do you have fun? What things have you found to do to occupy your time and keep progressing or enjoying the game? It seems like I spent all my time and energy trying to max out my character that I forgot what the game was really about in the process… :/

NMS Wish List for Telporting [Suggestion]

I want:

  1. An option for compact list of bases and stations so more fits on the screen in a list / table view rather than grid with pictures

  2. An option to make a "favorite" or bookmark list of teleport locations that I can change the sort order for.

That's it. That's my wishlist for Teleporting. Thanks for listening. 🙄

After restarting a few weeks ago for the first time since launch, I’ve just hit a level of upgrades that basically remove most of the frustration I had then [Discussion]

In 2016, the storage felt so restrictive and put me off playing. After being in this new save for 3 weeks, I’ve just had my mind blown as I unlocked the combination of freighter + storage containers + matter beam.

Being able to not only send and store all my items to and from the freighter while planetside, but also seeing the containers in the inventory, unlike at my base, has made the game feel about 50% more enjoyable.

Great work from HG.

Planets with Aggressive Sentinels are no joke early game lol [Discussion]

Started my first permadeath run and started in a system with 3 of the 5 planets / moons having Aggressive Sentinels. Aside from this run I’ve only put maybe 40-50 hours into NMS between PS4, PS5 and now Steam so I haven’t even been to many planets with Aggressive Sentinels. Typically just avoided them in my little playtime.

Anyways, I landed, was immediately spotted by one and was fired upon. Of course, only being a few hours into the run I had the bare basics in terms of equipment and resources. So I immediately hop back into the ship (THANK GOD I HAD LAUNCH FUEL), and GTFO that planet. Then I realize they still ain’t stopping! I had to fight through 3 waves of fighters in orbit to even get far enough away to Pulse Engine out of range.

Totally was not expecting that, surprised I didn’t die and end my run but hey it was thrilling I guess lol!

I only have 30-40 hours in my original save, but that's enough to make me feel bad starting a new game if there isn't a real reason to. Will I learn the new stuff easy enough on my original save, or will I be a little lost where a new save will be helpful? I've heard of glitches for people coming back after multiple major updates, and also concerned about that as well.

#

Certain settlement buildings hidden benefits? [Question]

New player here. I've just started governing my very first settlement. I have my main base near it since there's a 100% oxygen spot making my life so much easier regarding the economy.

But here's the thing.

So far, I've built, depending on the popular vote; a farming module and housing.

On the 3'rd, it was a landing pad, and now NPC ships are visiting that I can either purchase or trade with.

On the 4'th decision, I've got myself a Retail Zone, I think, at which, surprisingly or not, I've got a technology trader AND a separate shop terminal from the one I can build. The alternative was another farming module that did nothing aside from giving equal productivity from my previous experience.

Now I have options between another Marketplace (this time called Bazaar) and a Storeroom.

So here's my question; Which building types give what hidden perks? Housing - No extra perks. Farming Module - No benefit (it seems). Landing Pad - Visiting traders/ships. Marketplace - Separate Trading Terminal and Tech Trader! Warehouse - ??? Saloon - ???

vanishing indium bug. And ideas? [Bug]

Last week i built a small activated indium farm and harvested from time to time. Today i warped to the mine and the supply depots were empty. First i thought a fellow traveler discovered the mine and took the indium - which would be ok, mind you, i don't really need it. I just built it because i found an activated indium spot, an oxgygen spot and an electromagnetic spot all within single base range...

Then i realized it said time to fill was 9:50 - which is exactly the time to fill a fresh batch after emptying the depots.

So i hopped around the planet a bit, scanning, harvesting, etc and went back to the mine. Ok, 750 indium in the depots.

I left it there and warped out to a different base, then directly back to the mine and as i suspected: THE DEPOTS WERE EMPTY. And it said 9:50 to fill...

The oxygen depots were full.

Is this a known bug? What now? Any ideas?

New Boises - no more traveller graves? [Question]

Heya! I recently (today) gathered 3 glyphs and made my way to "new boise". I first tried to find the graves via coordinates, that was not very effective. On the scanner no graves appeared.

got that removed along with the bases in a recent update? Is there another reason, why I could not find bases or graves?

Venting about time limitation of expeditions and one suggestion for it [Suggestion]

I barely found time to play NMS and the current Expedition, but managed to get and complete up to phase 3. This felt great and I love Permadeath (I am quite used to Permadeath as I completed the game already, so I play it safe and don't take any too big risks).

Today I finally got time to continue and was dedicated to complete the last two phases. As starting from tomorrow noon I'll be at a conference and most likely will not find anymore time to play again. So the best moment to get that expedition done!

So I played, dedicated and focused. Then it happened: I jumped with my exocraft, landed safely, left it to call my ship and instead of landing on the floor: BOOM fell into the abyss where no abyss was before. Result: death due to falling.

Thanks for nothing, progress gone. The few hours I actually could play and finish the last two phases blew up into the need to finish all phases from anew.

This is the first time this game felt like a waste of time. I'm discouraged to play the expedition as I don't see myself finishing it. Well, let's hope this expedition will be playable somewhen in the future again, so I can play through it.

So the one suggestion I have for this game: Allow it to replay an expedition as long as it hasn't been completed. I am surely not the only one not being able to finish due to other things in life restricting my play time. In terms of the community milestones: They might be replaced by individual ones or left with the state when the expedition closed after its first release.

BSOD CPU Error each session [Bug]

Hey all,

Just picked up No Man's Sky on the steam summer sale and am loving it. However, I have already had 7 or so BSOD in the past 3 days. I'm not much of a troubleshooter, but I learned how to check the event viewer and am constantly getting this error:

"A fatal hardware error has occurred.

Reported by component: Processor Core

Error Source: Machine Check Exception

Error Type: Cache Hierarchy Error

Processor APIC ID: 12

The details view of this entry contains further information."

My CPU is a 5800x, I am mostly getting that error with "APIC ID: 12" but sometimes it is paired with ID 1 and 2 as well.

I have only gotten this recently with this game, but I do remember a couple of months back I had a couple of BSOD with Apex Legends. Other than that I have never had any issue.

In task manager both my CPU RAM and GPU were all running under 50%, and I normally run Premiere or other graphically intensive games that max out the CPU and GPU with no issues.

I have checked my Graphics Card Drivers and ran Memory Diagnostic successfully (I think), and upgraded my bios, but I know it is with my CPU but don't know where to go from here? Thoughts?

Here is my full spec list: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/Q6r9kX

Let me know if any ideas.

Thank you!

Memory Leak like it is 2018 [Bug]

I think I asked for a fix in years ago and was wondering if today there is finally a fix/method for the memory leak issue. The devs added other fancy stuff (pets, another ship type), there might be a chance there has been a method to fix the memory leak after all these years. So is there one?

A “Fix” for base photos not updating in the teleport list [Information]

Most people have probably noticed that when they take new photos of their base it often doesn’t update that photo in the teleport list. I was searching around for a solution to this and as far as I can tell I couldn’t find anyone who has posted a solution or steps to take to force the photos to update, it just seems like most have accepted that this is a bug that’s been around a few years and is here to stay. But with help from this thread I’ve come up with steps that have consistently worked for me to update the photos. Go to a base that has a missing photo or that you never took one at. If it’s not the right time of day wait around and come back later (I don’t advise reloading the file to change the time, I didn’t test it and didn’t want to waste my time). Open up the base computer. If you want to change the name do that first. Ideally you never want to open the base computer again as doing so can unexpectedly change the photo without you wanting it to (this is something you may have noticed before and isn’t caused by the steps I’m outlining here, it’s just something that happens by opening the computer). Take a photo or if you have a photo in there that you like and took in the past simply close the base computer after opening it. You do not need to take another one (you are taking advantage of that bug I mentioned that auto updates the photo when you open the computer). Note: as mentioned before if it’s a different time of day that you don’t like then move to another base and come back later (optional) go to another base that has a missing photo and repeat these steps. I was doing this in batches of 3 bases at a time, the cache might have a limit on how many photos it will update and I didn’t want to find out. when you’re done visiting bases...

Repetitiveness of Early Game [Question]

I recently have been trying to get back into NMS after buying it and not getting very far (only like 30 minutes) about 2 years ago.

I've played for about 2 days now, approx. 5/6 hours total, and it feels very repetitive so far, just with quests. It seems like the loop is "get quest, need to build/craft something, don't have resources so go get them, get them, build/craft thing, repeat".

So my question is, is this only for the early game? Is there something that I'm missing that I just need to continue to grind through a little bit more? I really just want to see some cool stuff and start exploring a lot more, but it feels like I need to complete the quests to really make progress.

Thank you!

Hobbit base ruined: Is there a way to stop planetary flora from shifting? [Question]

So I found one of those planets with the giant trees whose roots push up from the ground, leaving little hallows beneath them, often filled with dense foliage.

It was a great place to build a Hobbit base, which is basically a tiny divot in the ground leading down to a doorway and an underground base. I built the hell out of it, sparing no expense with amenities and design, and even worked the underground roots into the design. This place was awesome, so well-hidden that I wouldn't have been able to find it again if not for the base/save point nav beacons.

Then I logged back in, and the trees had shifted.

The roots that reached underground into the base had moved. The dense stand of trees surrounding the large tree had moved.

I logged in again the next day, and now the big tree above my base had moved too, exposing it and defeating the purpose of putting the base there in the first place.

The weird thing is, the flora on my main base's planet doesn't move at all. Not an inch. The same glowing mushroom has been poking through my landing pad since I built it.

Does anyone know what causes the flora to shift, how to stop it from shifting, or how to "lock" it in place ideally? I would appreciate any insight you can offer. Cheers.

Xbox Vs Cloud Gaming Obscene Differences [Discussion]

Color Blind LPT [Suggestion]

Hey! I just wanted to make a post in case anyone else is struggling with this. Finding the first "green" star system was kind of alright given the warnings if you don't have an upgraded enough drive, imo. But, I just spent two hours trying to re-find one for Emeril, and after searching and coming up with not much, I found a trick. If you go to the Start menu and open the Discoveries tab, you can view visited systems and filter based on the coloring. From there, you can set a waypoint that you can actually follow from the Galaxy Map, since apparently choosing "Find Emeril" from the catalogue (and making sure that mission is selected) doesn't activate any waypoints itself.

(Sorry if this is old news, I just didn't get any kind of direction and hope this might help some other color blind folks since nothing came up in Google. If Hello Games could make it so none of the systems relied on purely color, that'd be a huge win for accessibility in the game)

Fighter hunting [Question]

I found an A class fighter at 38-12-8. Is it worth my time to find an S class fighter? Can I get any stats above 38-12-8 if it’s an S class? Is the only difference storage layout and starting stats (damage shield and hyperdrive)

am I missing something? [Question]

How do you search for specific systems? I know it has something to do with portal glyphs or galactic coords but I don't know where to go to search for specific systems. I've checked at my teleporter at my base, the one on my ship, station teleporters, the big one in the space anomaly and I can not see where to input either glyphs or coords. Am i really that blind?

Questions I should know the answer to [Question]

Heyo travellers, I've just sunk my 300th hour into the game (a fraction of the time most here would have spent) and I've got a few small questions that I probably should have worked out myself by now, but none of them are particularly important questions.

Why aren't there more travellers with alien heads? The majority I see are standard helm wearers (no judgement) and the few I see with quicksilver/event heads are usually helmets. There's a number of cool heads to wear, I just figured I'd see them more often.

Where are all the pure black ships? Failing that, where are all the black dominant ships? I see plenty with black accents or half black, but none that are largely black. I think I've seen an explorer that was black dominant but that would have been years ago. I just want a pure black needle nose with yellow accents.

How do I get the eggs to breed animals? Do only specific species produce eggs?

With the maximum amount of upgrades applied, which weapons system has the highest rate of damage?

I haven't attempted base building beyond quests. I want to get a settlement up and running, are there any tips or pitfalls I should avoid?

Can you own more than one freighter and if not will purchasing a new one delete my frigate fleet?

Can you claim the space whale frigate reward more than once? I'd love a fleet of them.

There's plenty more little questions I have, I just can't remember them currently.

Thank you kindly.

For anyone that knows, what routes can you take for main quests? How far can you go on each one until you have to choose? How many main quest routes are there? [Discussion]

I have been playing this game for 38 hours already and am still barely getting into the game it seems like. I personally don’t know how to continue though. I want to do all the quests at once but I don’t know if you can only go one main quest route at a time and have to make other characters to complete the other main quest routes. If anyone knows, can you please help me and any other new players to understand the main story lines.

“Construction Limit Reached” [Question]

So I’m setting up a new base to farm some sodium. And after putting down a pre-fab, a couple electromagnetic generators, and a few walls I’m getting the red prompt “construction limit reached”.

Ship Damage Potential is the most useless and misleading stat in the game. 🤔 [Discussion]

My S-class fighter AI Wingman in his 260 Damage Potential Fighter can’t even keep your average Pirate from regenerating his shield while my Explorer that barely breaks 180 Damage Potential obliterates Pirates in seconds with the Infraknife/Projector.

The difference in Damage Potential between a ship with a single, unmodded Photon Canon and a fully-upgraded Infraknife/Projector is barely noticeable (maybe 30-50 points) yet the weapon DPS difference and actual combta performance is massive.

What’s even the point of this attribute..?

Having no ship at all challenge. [Question]

So this isn't a game start per se, but it's something I've been wanting to try. Stuck on a planet with no way off except but to find and repair a crashed ship. Like actually find one. Is this possible?

Firstly on your existing save, you would have to get rid of your last remaining ship. Afaik you ship becomes indestructible as soon as you exit it. And to have no ship at all for a bit, maybe that will break the game somehow?

Getting my first freighter... [Question]

So I'm trying to get my first freighter. I have turned down the first one from the original battle after whatever jump. I've played 3 more hours (ok like 23 more hours), done the 5 jumps and get another battle. The freighter isn't the one I want so I reload the save and jump to another system... Only 2 different kind of freighters are showing up to get. I have jumped to probably 35 different 3 star systems and only those two freighter types appear. What am I doing wrong so that the other types aren't showing up? I've also tried pirate systems and 1 and 2 star systems. I don't want one of those two types. Am I stuck with them until I accept it and have to purchase the next one?

I'm just trying to get my first free freighter to be the type I actually want.

Is there any way to get this to work?

I just want to play NMS with my wife. I've set the Xbox as the Home Console. I've added my wife to my Xbox Family (shown on Xbox Family App and MS Account) I've redownloaded the Microsoft Store Licences

Is base size glitched? [Question]

I have a base comprised of an atmospheric generator and a building, and then some distance away (about 500u maybe) an electromagnetic generator. When building the electro generator, I had to put down a few floor pieces to "extend" my base's range, but it was built fine. Some long wires connect it all together.

Now when I return to the base, the electro generator area is just outside my base range and I can't build any more. I tried placing more floor tiles, but that didn't help. And idea why this is, or what can be done to better understand the base ranges?

What are the methods of farming units in 2022 with the current version 3.93 (Outlaws Patch) of the game? [Question]

Hello,

I started yet another game of NMS a few days ago and I'm already at the point where I've completed most of the main quests.

You know, like many, I want to buy a new starship (thanks to all these that share their findings). For this, I need a little less than a hundred million units.

There are a plethora of guides (written and video), but the most recent ones I've found are from last February (the Outlaw patch seems to date from April).

That's why I'm coming to you: what methods could you recommend to me for farming units?

Knowing that I've never really delved into basic building (and I've never built farms), other than the bare minimum needed for quests and storage.

I started at 400,000 units and I am currently at 22.7 million. So far, I'm making my money by searching for storm crystals (but I'm too slow and only get 5-15 of them in a single storm) or salvageable parts and bones/fossils (but 90% of the parts and bones I get are worth less than 500k/each). It's technically doable in a few days and with patience, but I'm curious if there are more efficient and productive methods, just to learn new facets of the game.

Thanks for your help.

Idea: Colossus becomes a mobile meth lab [Discussion]

I feel like the Colossus needs more compelling features. Inside you have access to a map of a 1000u radius with points of interest where you can pin your destination and let the vehicle autopilot while you can stay busy doing the following: Large refiner Nutrient Processor Turret where you can jump in and get a 360 view of surroundings and gather resources or just enjoy the view. Allow you to plug in X,Y coordinates for long range transport, then allow you to "sleep" to speed up travel.

Ship Suggestions and Shopping Guidelines [Question]

So I've finally gotten far enough in my game where I can start purchasing ships and even get S class ships. I have an S class Fighter with way better damage and shielding compared to my original A Class Explorer and A Class Hauler with 42 Storage Slots. I didn't understnad the differences at first, but now that I do, I'm worried about what kind of ships to look for.

I know that ideally, you want S class ships. I also know that when you dismantle S Class Ships, you have 100% chance to get a Storage Augmentation upgrade for your Ship, ranging from 1 to 3 per ship. I also know about Exotic ships. But now that I know about these different types, which Ship is considered best for an All Rounder, used for exploring and combating pirates? When purchasing your ship, what is the range in bonuses and stats do you want to look at?

The new players making bases with terrain editing, inevitably leading to the terrain bug, has got me thinking about the wider long-running issues and what HG's long-term approach might be. [Discussion]

Disclaimer: I have been a supporter of HG for a while now. NMS has been one of my favourite games, so I'm in no way attacking the company. Also, I've been playing intermittently, so I'm not up to date on what bugs they have or have not fixed.

NMS came out and it was crap according to the people who expected something but recieved something else. The team worked super hard to fix all of these issues and have been consistently churning out new content like crazy. Every new update brings with it more new players generating more revenue for the company. But... there haven't been any fixes to the major issues we've all been facing since a long time ago.

I shudder to think the codebase HG has that they don't even want to touch fundamental long running bugs. Like the terrain edit bug, the falling through surfaces bug, the hot(key) mess, ragdoll glitches, asteroid inside the freighter hangar, the Minotaur exit-or-pick stuff up conflict or the absolutely random mem-leaks and associated crashes, just to name a few. There was also the "sitting in an outpost doesn't protect you from weather" bug, but that was fixed a while back.

I think what HG has done inadvertently is that they have made a terrible codebase with huge amounts of technical debt, and just to keep the lights on, they are coming out with new updates and new content which, as I'm sure many old timeys would agree, is shallow from the gameplay perspective. Maybe this is the reason why they haven't been able to give us depth of less content, while giving us a lot of shallow content. And all of that will stop completely once they no longer meet the targeted sales after an update.

Hey there gang. I haven't play NMS since it released. I had maxed out 2 of the 3 languages at the time a put a good 50 hours into the game before the repetitively of the game got to me. I loaded the game up now the other day and am lost. My ship and multi tool have mods that appear to be outdated and I have no clue what to do. Any help or pointers would be great. Would I be best to just start over? Are knowing the languages and having the upgrades from back then still a time sink? Thanks.

So I wanna do smthn for science. [Question]

While chilling in the anomaly waiting for the final timer on my starbirth quest which has 20 hours left someone gave me a singularity core which caused the game to freak out, grow mine and start the next quest when I went and made a manual save and reloaded it took away the quest progress and put the timer back but I still have both grown singularities so I'm wondering who wants to try and break the game with me and find out what happens if one is traded back and forth.

Industrial Gameplay [Question]

Hey fellow travellers,

I have a save game where I have billions of units because I build an active indium extraction-base.

That is quite easy and kinda boring tbh.

So now a week ago I started a new save to experience the game again. And I tried out the new sentinel stuff, dabbled a bit with settlements and did some piracy (which was my main income atm).

I now looked through the catalogue and found out I can build an item thats worth 15,6 million per piece. That item consists out of other items and so on. That kinda excited me and made me think about building a production line that can at the end produce those items (which are only used as a tradeable good it says).

This would give me something fun to do I thought. Looking into the base materials and precursor items I need to setup/build there is already stuff in the first few items that need refinement. And since its not possible to refine automatically the dream to setup a production line and different bases to get the resources started to fell apart. Part of the fun is of course the reward you would get when you finished it all and can sell the stuff for big profits.

Now im having the question, for some more experienced players who might already have their production set up, is it giving enough profit so its worth it in the end, over an activated indium extraction farm (that produces automatically)?

Are there any ways I didn't see, and I can actually refine automatically?

If not, Iam really wondering why this 15,6 Million craftable tradegood exists. So basically what was the thought to implement this into the game?

Help finding oxygen and energy hotspots [Question]

Hello again,

Following up on my previous question about unit farm methods, I was given details about ionized cobalt farm. I was advised to find an oxygen hotspot and an energy hotspot. The person in question recommended that I went to an exotic planet.

Although I understand the reason, in over an hour of play, I was unable to find a single worthy location! Most of the time, my scanner could not find any hot spot (neither oxygen nor energy). Sometimes it would find some, but only one of the two. On the very rare occasions, when it did manage to find both hotspots, they were 350 units apart and mostly were of rank C or B. I do have an S-rank energy hotspot, but no oxygen hotspot nearby.

This is really no fun, but maybe I don't have the right method. That's why I'm coming back to you once again.

How to find a good location between an oxygen hotspot and an energy hotspot, rank A or S?

Thank you.

Teleport Drops [Question]

Hi all,

I've picked up this game again after 1.5 years away from it and am impressed with the new look building materials. I thought I would visit my bases and upgrade them from the old legacy materials.

Now, I am confused as to where the teleport drops me when I teleport to a base. If my base is on supports for example, I get dropped under the base on the ground whereas it used to drop me at the teleport.

Does the game always drop you at ground level now ? and if so what are the rules as to the location of the drop because it doesn't seem to bear much relation to where anything is within the base ?

PSA: Outlaw Systems seem to have over double the chance to spawn a S-Class Freighter! 🤔 [Discussion]

Outlaw Systems have the highest base chance when it comes to S-class Ships: 5% The game seems to use the Ship value for Freighters as well as Wealthy Systems are commonly agreed upon to have a 2% chance for Ships and Freighters. Testing this I was able to frequently pull an S-class from the same Outlaw System on my 5th Warp. Outlaw Freighters are “worse” in the sense that your initially unlocked slots will be very low for a S-class (averaged around 25 for General).

However since class cannot be improved whereas slots can be, this definitely seems to be a good tradeoff.

I know this is all anecdotal and stuff, but if you’re hunting for a S-class why not give it a try?

No Man's Lie [Discussion]

On the official website in the about page it says

"SURVIVE ON A DANGEROUS FRONTIER

Every solar system, planet, ocean and cave is filled with danger, and you are vulnerable.

Your ship and suit are fragile, and every encounter can test your skills to the limit. From dogfighting in space to firstperson combat on a planet’s surface, you will face foes ready to overwhelm you.

And one mistake could see you lose everything. In No Man’s Sky, every victory and every defeat has lasting consequences."

This is a complete lie. If Sean seriously considers pressing two buttons to fuel hazard protection "skill", then this game already has a major problem. If this description was true, I can promise you a lot more people would be playing the game. What about difficulty? Would it kill HG to make something that requires one brain cell to overcome? This whole paragraph on the website is basically a complete lie. Some of its true, but it's the absolute bare minimum.

I know you softies are gonna say "But No Man's Sky is a game about exploration (aka walking simulator with absolutely nothing else) and shouldn't even have danger". I hope HG doesn't keep the game the way it is. I'm not asking for an RPG or MMO, just a proper survival game. Like Minecraft. That game has exploration, but unlike this game, Minecraft exploring has a risk. And death will come very swiftly. I'd love for this game to take the same approach, and then make a peaceful mode for al the people who just wanna walk aimlessly for hours without purpose.

That's my rant. I know I'm gonna get down voted to hell cause anytime anyone speaks the truth, most of the community will either flip out, or tell you you're wrong.

Here's to hoping 4.0 will fix this shell of a game.

I used a settlement map on a planet and the settlement spawned on the top of a step up in the land. There's perfectly enough space for the settlement in its current size, but some of the buildings are near the edge and was wondering if that would stop my ability to expand the settlement in the future

Frigate Build [Help] [Build]

I recently found out that buying random frigates isn’t the way to go so I discarded them all and I’m starting fresh.

I’ve been reading a lot of builds and I’m confused if maybe one build is better than the other. I’ve seen most people have a 8 combat - 8 explorer - 7 trade and 7 industrial, completely discarding the support frigates. The only bonus I understood from support frigates is that they lower the fuel cost when sending them on expeditions. If this is the case then I believe they aren’t useful in my case.

However some people claim that they have other uses such as accelerating the expeditions. I even saw a couple people with 100% support builds.

Could you guys share your fleet builds and logic ? I wanna see what fits better with my scenario.

Living minotaur? [Suggestion]

I think it would be pretty sick if we could achieve symbiosis with out minotaur with a void egg or some other means to transform it I to a living being with new features similar to when we get the sentinel parts to our minotaur but that's just an idea let me know what you guys think

This thing showed up on my water planet out of nowhere.......It was never here before [Screenshot]

I've been busy base building on a water planet for the last 5 days and i always pass my the same ravine to get to where I need to go...The sea floor is usually covered in oysters, and crystal structures. Today I saw this...there were 2 side by side and no others like it anywhere. it's can't be destroyed or mined so I have no idea what it is. Love the mystery of it all but it caught me off guard.

Multiplayer Freighter Issue [Question]

When I go into my friends freighter, I can see him in the freighter. But when I exit my starship, everything in his freighter disappears, including him. How do I fix this?

Unpopular opinion: This game will never be able to achieve the original vision they sold to players. [Discussion]

The idea that there will be enough content either through story, depth, or unique fauna and flora to motive players to continue exploring the game for hundreds of hours simply isn’t possible.

I’ve only played for the game for 60ish hours and I’ve finished the main quest line, built a settlement, built bases, have S class ships, MT, tech upgrades, and finished the expedition,. Most of the screenshots I see of “unique fauna and flora” I’ve seen the same thing or at least something extremely similar.

The Company is never going to be able to create enough incentive to keep players playing the game. I know there are day 1 players who will say they have made the game incredibly more attractive to play and created a lot more content. But how many more hours of gameplay did I really get after four years of updates? In my opinion it can’t have been much.

From here on out I’ll probably just jump on to finish expeditions and to check out a new update for a couple hours. But it won’t be a main game like I hoped it would be.

I feel like it's the CPU that's bottlenecking the game performance... [Discussion]

Unless I'm at a settlement, fighting sentinels or flying around at a planet really fast, the game performs absolutely fine.

So it made me realize that none of the optimization mods or graphics settings tweaks worked because the GPU is not the bottleneck, it's the CPU. But even with HAGS enabled I still get framerate drops and stutters frequently.

That's a little disappointing since I have a potato PC (i7-7700HQ and 1050 Ti) and looking at the game's system requirements I thought it would run the game pretty well, which it does most of the time unless I'm actually trying to get stuff done in the game. Then it's only framerate drops and stutters.

I don't know what else to do to be honest. I can't refund the game since I've already put several hours into it (the game got me hooked enough to put up with these issues up until now), and won't be able to upgrade my hardware for a while, what gives?

Is there anything else I can do?

Frustrated with the limits of quicksilver missions, anybody have a spare? I'll be available the next few hours.

What happened to my ship??? [Question]

So I'm doing the quest and was led to a toxic planet and found an abandoned ship in very bad shape. I clicked on it and I got the window to purchase a ship. One option was to claim, so I claimed it. After getting in, it "switched" me to this ship. After I got out I found my usual ship, so switched back. Then I had to reload the game, and after I reloaded it, my ship was gone, only the broken down one was left. I even clicked on summon and it doesn't appear there.

What happened?

Crashed freighters [Question]

I'm pretty being on the Expedition, and having a hard time finding a crashed freighter. I've recently been traveling along the Expedition route and checking planets for bases labeled as such.

Any better methods as I've also spent at least 10 nav data on charts with no luck as well. Thanks!

Settlement events while in different galaxy? [Question]

I go between 2 galaxies fairly frequently at the minute, euclid and essentium. Will I still get notifications about events to do with my settlement while in a different galaxy or only while in the same galaxy as the settlement?
