How do I buy/ sell stuff to NPC pilots? [Question]

NMS doesn't respect my time. [Discussion]

I've spent the afternoon trying to build a base. But I've spent roughly ¾ of my time dealing with extreme storms. I just feel like my time is being wasted.

These storms come up roughly every 3 to 5 minutes. If I'm lucky I get ten minutes of build time.

Occasional storms, say one every 45-60 minutes would be tolerable. All I want to do is play. Build and explore. Not hide from blizzards or fire storms or whatever.

No Man’s Sky on Mac sync with Steam?? [Question]

Using a Mac every day for my normal life and booting up my gaming PC to play No Man’s Sky, I’m hoping that no man sky will be downloadable from the Steam client on the Mac when it becomes available. Do we know yet how no man sky will launch on the Mac? I’m hoping my steam cloud save will port over to my MacBook. Anyone know?

VENT on gateway systems in higher-numbered galaxies [Discussion]

I’ve worked my way up from Euclid to Mushonponte, which despite being galaxy FIFTY-THREE, somehow seems to have no undiscovered gateway systems left, even though literally dozens of the intervening galaxies have plenty of undiscovered gateway systems. And I’ve come across easily a dozen, if not a dozen and a half or more, gateway systems all discovered by the same user (if you’re reading this, screw you, Twydy).

How about not being so goddamn selfish and at least having the common courtesy of NOT DISCOVERING ALL THE GODDAMN GATEWAY SYSTEMS when you visit a galaxy. And that goes double if you took a shortcut taxi service instead of working your way there all on your own.

Derelict freighter crashing game on PC? [Bug]

This game is generally stable for me and I've only experienced two CTD's. Once is when my character died. Another is when I scouted derelict freighter with a friend. The game froze and exited when I opened a door with one of the enemies inside.

Is this a common bug?

A quite complex save issue [Question]

Hello all

I joined this sub a few months ago when I was really into NMS and seeing all the posts make me want to pick it up again. The only issue is I played the XBox gamepass version of the game and never backed up any of my saves. I want to buy the game on Steam, but that would mean losing hundreds of hours of progress on the XBox gamepass version.

The reason I stopped playing is because the gamepass subscription got quite costly and I wasn’t using it enough to warrant continuation of the subscription. As a result, awhile back I uninstalled all my gamepass games (NMS included).

Is there any possible way to get these saves back without having to re-subscribe to gamepass? I think I used a save editor a bit before I uninstalled but am unsure if the save editor saves game saves locally instead of just modifying them.

How do I get Units [Question]

Hello fellow explorers. As the title suggests I’m confused on how to make units efficiently. A lot of the methods feel really slow (mission boards, freighter mission rewards, survey, etc..) would rlly appreciate some suggestions.

What to do with friends? [Question]

I donwloaded this game on request from my friend about a week ago, and I'm really enjoying it. He's enjoying it also, we just aren't enjoying it together. It feels like we're always doing our own thing, even if we're together.

What are some things we could do together? Is there anything you're supposed to do with another person?

Surprisingly Good Controller Support! [Discussion]

Has anyone else tried rebinding their controller on this game? What controller and what customization did you do?

I decided to purchase No Man's Sky during the Steam Sale despite the bad rep it got on launch. And for someone who's been struggling with game inputs on a Steam Controller, can I just say I am AMAZED by the level of customization the game allows me to do for controller bindings?? The best part is that the control prompts also change when I drop back into the game after heavy customization!

I've always been a sort of fan of Space Exploration/Survival games, but I've struggled with controller support for every single one of them. (I'm looking at you Astroneer) I'm hitting myself now for not trying this game sooner, everything feels at home despite me still going through the tutorial and being unfamiliar with the general structure of the gameplay.

Settlement overseer building bug? [Question]

So I built the overseer building while having to fight off endless waves of sentinels. What fun. When I built the building, I couldn’t get in…

There seems to be some sort of shelf or scaffold Infront of the inside of the door and just outside the building it’s surrounded by walls like 1 foot from the walls.

Also on the inside are. A bunch of plants and junk lying around and it’s so crowded you couldn’t walk around anyway. I see the terminal and a portal as well… any help?

I've been having a blast, but where do I find a purple planet. [Question]

My girlfriend convinced me to get this game so we could play together. I didn't know if it was my thing, but I've played a lot and she's actually getting mad. She wants to play other stuff and I'm just having so much fun playing the game.

But I want to live on a purple planet, with some purple trees or purple grass. Something really pretty, but also purple. We both love it.

Problem is I've visited dozens of star systems at this point and have found nothing. I know there are quadrillions of planets, so my chances of finding this planet can't be the highest, but I know it's not 0!

Are there any ways to increase my chances of finding this purple planet? Like a special star color, temperature value, specific plant type, or do I just have to keep wandering (and don't get me wrong! I love this, but a little help might be nice).

No doubt I'll keep playing, but if there is some extremely low chance of getting a purple, can someone tell me, pretty please?

My entire companion register spontaneously just reset itself?! [Question]

I came across some cool striders and I wanted to keep one. I opened my register to check if I had a slot free and, to my horror, ALL of my companions were GONE. Not only that, but ALL of the slots I had unlocked (I had all available slots unlocked) had been reset. So now I have lost all my companions and slots, brought back to the default two.

Has anyone ever experienced this before? Does anyone know how this comes about so I might be able to avoid it happened again in the future?

I’m pretty devastated to be honest, neither of the saves I had available were able to restore my register. They’re all gone. Just… gone… I might have some screenshots of the species’ locations, but there were some that I had acquired early on in my game experience and never got addresses for… rip🪦

Any way to improve my VR performance in No Mans Sky? [Question]

Hello, I love playing no man’s sky in VR but the frames seem to be pretty low averaging at around 50, which causes me to experience some motion sickness. I am running my vr using virtual desktop on my oculus quest 2, latency Isint the issue since my wifi speeds are great and networking latency averages at around 5ms. My current PC setup is a 3060ti, 5600x and 32 gigs of 3200mhz ram so I do expect it to run a bit faster. I am using no man’s sky from the Xbox game pass app with steamvr and my graphical settings are all at enhanced with dlss at the quality option. Could using steam as the platform make it run smoother? Are there optimized game/system options that can make it run better?

So I died in my Minotaur showing off to a friend... I basically received no penalty? [Question]

All dying, I watched the black screen quote, and then I respawned next to my Minotaur. All that happened was 2 items were damaged in my Minotaur (expensive to fix, 600 Fungal Mould). But: All my inventory in my Exosuit was still there All my inventory in my Minotaur remained.

Is that right?

This is my first time dying in since when I started playing in January, so I don't remember. Does the game track your deaths?

Memory Fragments (Class) - help me solve a mystery please [Question]

I noticed I had a stack of 5 x Memory Fragments (Class) in my inventory on a NORMAL save. I have absolutely no idea where they have come from. The most plausible explanation would be someone slipped them to me in the Anomaly and I hadn't noticed. Except I dont understand how this could happen on a NORMAL save. I did finish the Leviathan expedition and claimed all outstanding rewards on that save. How are rewards migrating from the expedition saves to a normal one? I also cant see what part of the expedition would have even rewarded memory fragments for class since they aren't mentioned as such in the rewards. So yeah, Im really puzzled and would love someone to help me solve the mystery.

Half Biodome Plants Not Growing [Question]

Hi,

So I set up 13 Biodomes, all properly connected and powered. All of the pods have shown that the plants grow. Just recently though, EVERY dome has only half the plants grown. This is after 20 to 24 hours (I build 10 stasis devices once a day). The slowest growing plants are Star Bramble, at 16 hours, so the timing doesn't make sense.

I have scanned each plant in one dome, and they each say the same time-frame, as if the issue isn't even happening...

One half shows as though they're just freshly planted, and the other half fully grown, this is a half-circle split in each dome. Not sure why since they were all growing, before. Anyone have any ideas?

First Traveller: Can’t get the quest to work [Bug]

So, I’m playing on PS5, and I’ve just gotten to the part of the quest line where Null tells you to go to Nada’s freighter. I take off, I pulse jump to the marker, but, when I’m close enough to land, the marker doesn’t stay in one spot, instead it moves with the ship. Once I land, the marker disappears entirely but I still have a prompt telling me to find the freighter. It’s not hard, just a bit of a walk. I get there, interact with the terminal, and nothing changes. I’ve tried gathering the encryptions from all six cargo pods before touching the main terminal and reading the logs and nothing. The marker is still there if I leave the planet, still takes me to the same spot. I have no idea how to progress. I’ve tried reloading a manual save and an auto save and redoing it, and nothing. Any ideas on how to fix this would be appreciated.

Building mechanics [Question]

Do you play in VR or on a TV? [Discussion]

After a few months, I stopped and put the game away for a year or so. I started new again, I'm up to 150 hours, playing on my TV, I tried yesterday quickly VR, but didn't like it. I think I'll stick to using my TV.

Ship's controls seemingly lock up. [Question]

This is a very frustrating problem, and I am curious if it is me doing something wrong. Whenever I fly my ship, for the most part it turns on a time and feels great to control but every now and then it just completely freezes up. It is near impossible to turn left or right and it moves at a snails pace while pointing up and down works perfectly.

I know this probably sounds insane but it happens at almost complete random. I have tried at various speeds assuming speed and momentum effect turn rate or such, but to no avail. Is this a common issue or is something wrong with my game?

I am flying with mouse and keyboard mind you, and I did not have this issue pre-outlaws. I assumed maybe it was just the type of ship, but all my ships have it happen at seemingly random.

Any way to improve my VR performance in No Mans Sky? [Question]

Hello, I have recently been playing no man’s sky in VR and it has been awesome, The only problem is that the frames I am getting are in the 50 levels. It’s causing me to have some motion sickness and it kinda ruins some of the gameplay. Latency Isn’t an issue networking wise since it always stays below 5 milliseconds for that section, but due to low frames it goes up to 50ms total. Currently I am running on a 3060ti, 5600x, 32gb 3200mhz ram, and I am running on an oculus quest 2 connecting to my pc through virtual desktop at a 82mbps bitrate. I have heard that the steam version of the game is better for vr and I don’t know if I should switch from the game pass version. Currently, all my settings are on expanded with DLSS on quality and texture quality on ultra. What should I do to increase my performance?

Looking for some help answering some details on running the game. [Question]

Hello fellow space brothers. I just got myself a new toy, rizen 9, rtx 3050 ti, juicy stuff. I can run every game I've tested so far on max graphics settings, new games like elden ring, gta, Detroit become human, all kinds of stuff. When I try no mans sky I can technically run the game with everything maxed out on graphics, however instead of 60 fps+ im more like 30. I am wondering if there's a reason for that or if changing one setting or something will make all the difference. Thanks!

No Mans Sky on Nintendo switch as a single player game? [Question]

From the official release on the no mans sky website: "No Man’s Sky Switch Edition will launch as a single-player experience. As an award-winning live service game, the Switch Edition will continue to benefit from ongoing development post launch."

With this in mind firstly provided it runs perfectly fine on the switch at launch will the game still be worthwhile to play as a single player experience?

And secondly do you think that "ongoing development" suggests it could become multiplayer at a later stage?

Seeking some multitool hunting clarity! [Question]

So I’m multitool hunting. I’ve learned a lot and kinda finally have a grasp of how to go about it. I have my s-class box finally after days of looking. But now I’ve realized that through all the videos and threads and posts I’ve consumed, I still have a question:

If I find a cool c-class or b-class multitool that I want in s-class, is that even possible? I’m assuming that by chance, the b-class is possible based on the spawn data, though not likely. But is it even possible to get a c-class multitool to show up in an s-class case? Example: if I find a super dope looking c-class alien MT, am I just gonna have to accept that there’s gonna be some serious nanite investment required? I’m looking for a little clarity here, thanks!

What Affects The Quantity of Items Traders Have To Sell? [Question]

Something I noticed is that every system (even in the same economy tier) have differing average amounts of how many items of a particular item a trader is selling.

For example: Oxygen. In one system, the traders sell on average around 650 oxygen maximum. However in another system, they sell me easily 750-800 on average.

Why is that? Even though they are both 3 star economies? Is it just random or does it depend on the buy/sell modifier for the system?

Tried to rediscover where I found some of my Solar ships, but sometimes you get distracted... [Information]

I posted something I said I would never do: "Which ship(s) should I get rid of?"

I apologized.

But I got a lot of people asking me where the Solar ships I had were located. I had no answer. So I have been trying to find them. Here's what's happened so far, one Solar and a few other types of S-Class ships: Solar / Green and Grey / Double Blade or Double Claw / Needle Nose Jackal / Drill Nose Cones / Purple Crescent Sails / (Bosore's Hand) LINK Fighter / White and Orange / Halo / Needle Nose / Triple Engine LINK (S-Class) Hauler / Yellow with Green Decals / Fan Wing / Sabre LINK (S-Class)

I will continue to update here as I find the other Solar ships...

Never thought I'd try a permadeath playthrough, but Leviathan convinced me to give it a go! [Discussion]

Running out of things to do? [Discussion]

I came on to no man’s sky just after the outlaw update came out. Me and my brother both really love the game and started doing everything we can with the time we had. My brothers been gone for a bit, but he’s coming back towards the end of this month. During the time that he’s been gone though I have been doing a lot in the game and I think I’ve ran out of almost everything I can do. I have a decent money maker with the Frigates, so making money at this point isn’t too much of an issue. I have multiple bases that I’m happy with. Morally I’m just not doing much with the pirate stuff besides shooting them down when they antagonize me. I’ve collected multiple decent ships of different varieties. I’ve done the abandoned freighter missions but they keep giving me the same layout freighter so I have the rooms memorized. The only goals I have left at this point is to finish getting all the freighter upgrades. Sure I could help out my brother when he gets back but it’ll be too easy for him and he might get tired of it too because I can just give him all the stuff I have. I guess what I’m wondering is do you guys have anything that maybe I’m not seeing for things to do? I really do like this game and I don’t wanna just put it away because I ran out of things to do or I’m waiting on an update to make it more interesting.

Questions/Complaints after expedition 7. [Question]

So after the expedition 7 ended, I'm left with a few questions.

  1. Why is the item stacking limited to 250 per item in the exosuit, 500 in the starship and 1000 in the freighter? 2) What is the use, if any of the whalesong flute, memory resonator/imprint and dreadful wailing items?

I thought turning the multilayer off would fix the stacking. And I guess I'll still see all the beacons/bases that were placed during the expedition whether I have multi-player on or not?

Question about ships [Question]

I recently started playing the game and on my starter planet I found 2 different ships that were broken down and claimed them both. I've been flying and slowly repairing the more expensive one, one was around 1.2 mil and the second was 5.3 mil. I just assumed the more expensive one was the better ship, I mean it's valued at 4x the amount. I just looked at both ships, after finding out that I could summon my other ships lol, and it turns that the ship that is valued at less is a class A ship and the other one is a class C. The Class A ship has a total of 4 extra inventory slots open over the three different slots and has better stats. In the beginning of the game, I just got to my first Space Station, would it be worth switching out to the Class A ship and having to repair it? I've been slowly repairing the Class C ship so would have to start all over repairing the Class A ship. Also if I switch over, should I finish repairing the Class C ship to get the full scrap amount out of it or should I just go ahead and sell it now?

Quad servo farming: tips? [Question]

Other than just straight-up duping them, what's the quickest way you've found to harvest a lot of quad servos?

I know they come from shooting the purple hardframe barrels and blue quad barrels, but even riding a full sentinel spawn only coughs up like four, and my luck with getting them as drops near manufacturing facilities after shutting off a planet is not very good.

Viability of living out of a freighter? [Question]

Hey all, 'new' player here. Bounced off the tutorial a few times over the years but finally broke through that ceiling and have been loving the experience.I had a couple questions that are a little bit too nuanced for a raw google search;

Can you do everything from a freighter that you could from a planetside settlement? I have yet to find a planet thats blown me away, and going back and forth to my system of origin and its dinky little tutorial cabin is getting old. Could I move everything I built there up to a freighter and be fine? I helped a captain out with some pirates and he tossed me the keys, want to take advantage of what I assume is a huge early-game boon.

Second, what happens to upgrades and cargo when I trade a ship out? Still rocking the OH Red ship but I am in the market for one of those cool new Naboo-ish solar ships. Are the upgrades factored into the ship's value and included in the trade or do they automatically swap over? I assume cargo should be unloaded beforehand.

Settlement Raid Issue? [Question]

So for today, I logged in and tp into my settlement, and there is a sentinel raid, that's okay, I take care of it. However, for the rest of the day, every time I warp in there is a settlement raid.

I tested this, so right after I dealt with a raid, I warp out and back into the settlement. And there is another fresh raid. I looked at the settlement overview, and the sentinel alert level is 0%, while a raid is going on.

Does anyone know if this is a bug? I am in a 1-star conflict system and the planet has a high sentinel alert level. If this is intended I am just gonna abandon this settlement and find a fresh one.

My current main save started out as an Expedition game, possibly Expedition 2, because by the end of the event I had such a great set of upgrades that it just made sense to keep playing. I've more or less abandoned my first save.

I think I'll keep the save from the last expedition (Leviathan) because I've never played Survival before and starting again from scratch on that mode would be a lot of effort.

SUGGESTION: user created galaxy? [Suggestion]

I am a programmer and I really feel this game has enormous potential: for example what about Hello Games to make user generated galaxies? I mean galaxies that are somehow generated with parameters calibrated at will by the gamers.

I do not know details about the internal structure of No Man's Sky, however my intuition is that it should be easy for HG to implement a method for the user to intervene in the galaxy generation procedural scheme.

For example, I imagine that when the player reaches the galaxy creation phase -or when he reaches the center of the galaxy and he is ready to go to the next one- a multiple pages parameters panel should open.

There, hundreds of parameters will be adjustable. They will be there in the default values, randomly generated with the usual H.G. algorithm, however the player can spend time going through them deciding what to change related to his own liking.

The player should find a brief explanation for each parameter, he will change them and create the new galaxy that will appear with a given name as "generated by xxxxxx" (similar to when a user discover a new planet "planet xxxx discovered by yyyy".

I imagine that those parameters are all statistical probabilities like: average number of planets, ranges of planet weather, range of temperature with each probabilities, probability of flora, fauna, minerals etc etc. I do not want to elencate all possible parameters, but of course there are hundreds of them in the game. The gamers should be able to intervene in all of them, within allowed ranges that H.G. decides.

The user will name the galaxy and that will be his own! Of course Everybody can visit that, like any other one, and enjoy the diversity and special characteristics of thousands of users.

The galaxy-parameter-panel it will be complex and many pages long, but I think it will be easy to implement and worth it as a new...

Can I get rid of damaged ships without a freighter? [Question]

My wife and I were flying around the planet and found 3 crashed ships. We decided to claim them so we could sell them at the space station later but we had no idea that you needed to repair the pulse thrusters in order to be able to summon them later. So now we have no idea where they are and can't figure out a way to summon them. I've read that they appear on your freighter but we just recently got to the space station and have no idea how long it will take to get a freighter or even how to go about getting one Did we just screw ourselves over or is there a way to get rid of them?

modular minotaur upgrade [Suggestion]

Ever since the hardframe upgrade for minotaur came out i have been wondering about implementation of other modular upgrades that could be applied for different task much like the prawn suit arm upgrades from subnautica,here are some upgrades i have thought of

A aquatic frame for better underwater exploration (the Submarine is kinda underwhelming),they could also introduce underwater sentinel types and underwater sentinel structure with this release

A scout frame for better scanner and more nimble and faster movement

Ofcourse Laylap our friendly sentinel drone would give out the quests to obtain the frames,this quests could be a way to expand upon Laylay as a companion character

They can also introduce some cosmetic attachment to personalize our minotaur much like our animal companion, nothing to big,oh and also the ability to paint over the frames would be much appreciated i am really tired of the all blue color scheme

I know this is too much to ask and we already have other exo crafts but i just feel like the minotaur still has so much potential

A Recovering Addict's Travels through No Man's Sky (Part 3) [Discussion]

Hello, all! It's good to be back and posting. I got back from visiting my friends pretty late last night, and there was a lot of driving that I had to do to get back, so I ended up crashing in bed before I could get online! I was really itching to play today, though, and got on pretty much as soon as I got home from work, and binged a few hours of game-time. Lots of really exciting stuff happened today, and I'm truly glad to have so many fine people following along on my journey! I'll likely say this every time, but seriously, thank you all so much for your support. I make sure to read every comment and message, and I'm glad that my writing has been able to help so many other people.

Today, I was a spaceman on a mission. I was going to get off-planet and finally explore this system. Looking up from the irradiated ground of Az Kaban, I searched the skies, looking for any heavenly bodies, but my efforts remained fruitless. Oddly enough, there ended up being several other planets in my star system, but I just happened to be at the right place on my planet to not be able to see any of them! I cobbled together a Portable Refiner and began to refine the materials to repair my ship, and also mined some Uranium from the rocks around my makeshift campsite, as I figured out that I could use it to fuel part of my ship, in a pinch. After a few minutes of work, I had my launch thrusters repaired, and set off into the final frontier.

And man, this game doesn't disappoint. This wasn't my first time experiencing space travel in this game, as I did play it a bit on launch, so I had an idea of what to expect, but the view was still incredibly breathtaking. There were several other planets floating somewhat close-together far in the distance, and one of them even had rings, which I'll get back to later in this journal. A strange transmission came...

Farming for S class Freighter [Question]

I've been been trying to get my hand on the capital S freighter and have fulfilled the following requirements for a freighter battle:

-3hours in game -warped 4 times -rejected the first freighter

It's guaranteed that there will be a freighter battle on my fifth warp (I tested it with manual save) and its the freighter that I wanted. So I followed every youtube tutorial said: fly into the space station to create a new autosave, engage in the battle, check freighter class, reload autosave, rinse and repeat.

Here's the problem: when I got out from the space station, the battle is already over (I don't see any hostile ship and is able to board the freighter). So I got onto the freighter, check the class (it's b), and reload autosave. BUT when I got out from the space station the second time, the freighter is no where to be seen and there's no ongoing freighter battle.

Note: I went straight to the space station without engaging the enemies (idk if this matters but yeah)

Roleplaying NMS Videos or Normal Lets Play? [Discussion]

First of all, if this type of question is not allowed then I will delete the post.

I have been wanting to make NMS content for a while but not sure how to go about it. I mainly do voice roleplay videos but got to thinking. What if I acted out the character or maybe even just record audio that sounds like a log recording with some of the gameplay over it?

NMS Save Editor help [Question]

Hello Travellers.

I've been trying to find a way to scale down the size of the storage containers so they'll fit inside my base structure and not clip out. I have no idea why some items in the game that are clearly designed for interiors but are taller than the actual height of the ceiling (like some workstations too).

I've seen some people with smaller containers but no one seems to explain how to do it beyond requiring NMS Save Editor. I thought, since no one is going into detail, it must be very obvious to edit its size once in the editor. Well, was I wrong. Opening the editor after selecting my save, I found in the 'Bases & Storage' tab my containers, as seen below;

https://preview.redd.it/fkhh6pidiwa91.png?width=1443&format=png&auto=webp&s=b2ec311cc958b2bead382c76bbd2370e81fa6c5f

However, I cannot find anything to edit the size of the actual containers, just the size of the inventory.

How would I rescale the size of these containers to something smaller, that could fit inside my base. Currently they're sitting outside on the roof of my base and they are big asf. Why the game doesn't allow me to rescale these while allowing me to rescale other things is beyond me. At least they could have made them the perfect size to fit your constructed structures if they were going to block scaling for these.

Anyway, I'd appreciate any pointers in how I could go about this. I'd prefer not to install any mods, especially when I know (or at least been told) that I could do this with NMS Save Editor.

Thanks in advance.

-If another player change a planet name and upload it, will it change it for me if I already found it?

-If another player change a planet name and upload it, will I see the original name or the new one once I find it?

-Does all the above question also applies to plant?

Never thought I'd try a permadeath playthrough, but Leviathan convinced me to give it a go! [Discussion]

I hated the Leviathan expedition when I started. A couple of frustrating deaths and the feeling of time pressure made it the least fun I'd ever had with the game. But after a while it just clicked, and I deeply enjoyed it.

Now I'm a few hours into attempt 2 of my first ever permadeath playthrough and having a blast! Taking my time, being cautious and using all kind of mechanics I've never bothered with to improve my odds.

What Affects The Quantity of Items Traders Have To Sell? [Question]

Something I noticed is that every system (even in the same economy tier) have differing average amounts of how many items of a particular item a trader is selling.

For example: Oxygen. In one system, the traders sell on average around 650 oxygen maximum. However in another system, they sell me easily 750-800 on average.

Why is that? Even though they are both 3 star economies? Is it just random or does it depend on the buy/sell modifier for the system?

Possible glitch (help?) [Bug]

I had to start a new file because of this, and I wanna see if anyone else has this same issue.

I had gotten up to installing the hyper drive (before getting to the big hub ship area), but the materials don’t register for some reason. Every time I try to add them to the hyper drive, the buttons don’t show up to allow it.

I did try going in and out of the game, re-loading a previous save, and re-doing the material process…but nothing changed.

I figured I’d leave the file alone, and start a brand new one. So far, things aren’t messing up like before and I’m back up to doing the hyper drive again.

Has anyone else encountered this? Is there a way to fix it, so I don’t lose my previous file?

Update idea : Atmospheres [Suggestion]

I’d love to see an update / DLC focused around planetary atmospheres and gravity.

Each planet would have a different gravity level ranging from low levels like the moon making you and your vehicles float , and crushing densities like that of the sun. You could craft or purchase reinforced spacesuits and ship upgrades to withstand the pressure.

The high gravity planets would be rare and and serve as challenges. Carbon would be compressed into diamond and found in abundance and used to craft S+ tier harvesting tools.

Some planets would have zero gravity and you would create it artificially within your base.

The concept of crushing density would also be applied to underwater , with the seas being expanded and more customisation to the submarine and possibly adding a larger one that could dock like the one in subnautica.

Lastly it would be cool to be able to take your helmet off in your base and or on planets after you test the atmosphere and make sure it’s suitable. Each different race would thrive in different environments.

Zoologist and Game Hunting Missions Needed. [Suggestion]

NMS needs missions that point you to an area of the galaxy and give you a target species to locate. Then either bring back a sample or a picture. These missions could vary the reward based on how much they narrow down the area for you and how far you have to travel. This would provide a much needed boost to the exploration aspect of the game because it makes you travel a significant distance and actually do some exploring for the more complex missions and it makes you concentrate some time on the target creature which means you would get to know them a bit better. In today's version, the creature details don't mean a whole lot so there's little incentive to learn about them.

Can friends play on a shared save without me being online, and without creating issues? [Question]

I'm sure this has been asked and answered before but I'm apparently inept at finding the answer with my current attempts at phrasing the search parameters so, my apologies for any redundancy.

I currently have a shared save that I initiated, between my wife and a mutual friend of ours. We're all wondering if it's possible for any of us to play offline without the others and whether that would create any syncing issues going forward. We all have individual bases, but we do intend to create a communal base soon.

Also, assuming no syncing issues would arise, when loading the save by ourselves, would we use singleplayer to load the save or multiplayer?

Again, sorry for the silly nature of the questions but in the time I've played the game I've only ever played solo or with my wife at the same time.

Thanks!

Next Update Info Predictions/Speculations [Discussion]

Hey everyone, when do you think we will actually see hints or information for the next update? And do you think it will be the long-awaited "big one"?

Currently, we are at version 3.93, and if recent trends are anything to go by, we may have a smaller update at 3.95 (for example, the size of Sentinel or Outlaws). Then again, we may make the jump to 4.0, which should redefine some aspect of the game, like the "big ones" before it (NEXT, Beyond, etc.).

Personally, I think we are getting a mid-sized update at 3.95, coupled with the eighth expedition. Then, we will then get the "big one" (4.0), closer to the launch of the Switch Edition in October.

What are your thoughts on this? There have been many wishlist posts already, and this one is more about what kind of update the next one could be (size, scope, inclusion of expedition, etc.).

Things disappearing from refiners [Question]

Hi!

I'm a reasonably new player and I just built my first farms - paraffinium and copper for ferrite dust and chromatic metal.

I've tried looking online and I'm seeing reports of this back to 2019. Can it really be right that it's still not fixed? Or am I doing something wrong?

Coming back after awhile [Discussion]

I played a couple years ago on a normal save. Got probably 80+ hours into the game then stopped and played other things.

Got a good PC a little while ago and decided to come back so I could scratch my space itch. I've got maybe 10 hours or so onto a survival save and I'm a little overwhelmed so I'm seeking a little guidance.

It seems like SO MUCH has been added to the game that I don't know where to begin or where I should focus on. On my first play through I did "beat" the story I think. Got to the center and went to a new galaxy. Got all the symbols for the weird pillar place. I looked at all the new additions online and it's so freaking much.

Does anyone have recommendations on where I should put my focus? I typically just play solo.

Should I play this game again? Has swimming in VR been fixed? [Question]

I love this game, and I really want to play it again. The problem is that my love for it comes from playing in VR (PC Steam, Oculus Quest 2), and the game had some pretty major issues last I played.

Biggest issue was that swimming didn't work (without weird workarounds that required me to mess with settings every time I wanted to swim, and change them back afterward). The tips that worked for PS didn't work on Oculus.

Has any of this been fixed? Or am I going to miss out on half the game again? I have looked on the internet and found nothing, so I suspect you have bad news for me...

Are there max stat values per individual ship? [Question]

I have two solar ships that I spent a good deal of Pulse Engine S-Class mods on to max out their boost and maneuverability scores. Of course, you just see the one stat: maneuverability (wish they would break this out more to boost, speed and maneuverability).

Anyway, I discovered in the process of maxxing them out, one ship could achieve a score of 991.1 and the other 998.4. And no matter what mods I added, improving on the existing mods, the score did not change.

So does each individual ship have its own max value that can never be exceeded?

Is this a bug and is there anything I can do about this? [Bug]

I'm playing an expedition save from the most recent expedition. It seems like almost all my X class modules effects have changed their stats. For example, the day the expedition ended, I had just finished upgrading a new ships hyperdrive range, it had just over 2000ly range, now it's only a 577ly range. This is the case for all my stats, shields, health, jetpack, exosuit, multitool and ship.

Fairly disappointed, this was going to be my main character, I was pretty proud of the build I built through the expedition, so much so that I retired my main playthrough with 700hrs on it that I had been playing off and on since I bought a physical copy of this game from Target in 2016 when it released....

I've got an S class fighter ship with pretty good upgrades but I haven't come across a single enemy spaceship that I've been able to beat. They're all insanely strong now which I really don't remember being the case

I recently took a contract to go kill some pirates in a star system that didn't even have a very high combat level and I got absolutely decimated. I could barely break their shields and when I did it seems like they were fully recharged less than a second later, meanwhile my shields would get destroyed in about 3 seconds, I must've burned through about 600 sodium trying to kill them before giving up and running away

Was this part of an update or has combat always been this way and I just don't remember? Because I'm 99% sure it wasn't nearly this annoying when I played the game a few months ago

power grid questions [Question]

Howdy all Got a few questions after tinkering with the power grids in creative 1. Is it possible to fill a set of batteries lets say a group of 4 then once they are on 100% to fill the next set up The reason for this is so i can have my essential tech always running from the grid but then the more cosmetic stuff (lets say a couple red lights) running when theres excess power Is it possible to connect 2 bases to the same grid as me and a mate have 2 right across the water (like 200u maybe tad more) and i have an electromagnetic generator produing too much for whats here but his base occasionally has power outages

Lagging in Single Player but not in Multiplayer [Bug]

I have a friend who plays NMS with me, we were both fine playing it the first time then tried multi and went to bed after. Next day they start lagging in single player, their original save and even new saves. They only stop lagging when we play multi, but our problem now is that neither of us can leave the system because the group disbands every time we hyperdrive. He reinstalled it and tried using many fixes we've found on websites, reddit, and whatnot. Does anyone know how to fix this or has anyone else experienced this? Thank you

Questions regarding Light Blocks [Question]

I wanted to build a tribute for somebody, and I thought No Man's Sky would be the perfect place to do this. My idea is a shrine with a floating logo or emblem on top made of light blocks. The problem is, I've never used Light Blocks before.

Is it possible to create emblems with these? Does it need a ton of power? Can i change their size or color? If there are any builders out there who use these things a lot, any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Idea: Systems with Endless Swarms to increase the challenge presented in combat! [Suggestion]

TLDR: I'm feel unfulfilled in combat, would love an "endless swarm" type event to opt into in Normal mode!

Background: Bought the game on release, played a good 40-60hrs, didn't play for years, recently picked it back up, played 200+hrs on easy mode.

Absolutely stunning what they've done to this game.

Love settlements, freighters, did the Leviathan expedition, love the space anomaly, love having a weapon on my spaceship that shoots so fast it glitches the sound :')

Here's the thing though;

I love the combat in this game. Especially once you've got a bit of an overpowered ship and you start surviving hoards of ever growing sentinels. Or blasting into space and battling them and their giant battleships.

But I also really really love just chilling, sitting back, having a freak'n snackplate (love a good charcuterie board) and some wine, whilst messin' around building a sphinx for my newly acquired settlement.

However, I feel like I only die to bugs now. Clipping into objects coming out of hyperdrive. Landing on a planet clipping into terrain, unable to espace. Randomly falling through the planet into the void.

In short: I enjoy the gameplay of normal mode, and the combat challenge of survival/permadeath where you struggle a bit more to stay alive.

You know how in Tetris there's an endless mode? (Yeah yeah, I'm old, I know, figured cheese and wine gave that away already) That's the kinda thing I'd like to see in this game.

Like an sentinal home planet with literally endlessly increasing difficulty of swarms. Make them do more and more damage. Fire more rapidly. Or spawn bigger waves!

Or a type of galaxy that is completely swarmed by sentinels, with literal constantly increasing difficulty sentinal swarms.

I want to have the option, in Normal mode, to go somewhere I know will kill me if I stay...

How do you navigate without having an easy-to-browse map? [Question]

I'm a new player coming to NMS from Elite Dangerous, and man, I miss how easy it was to find things. There was a system map that told me all about every planet and moon. The galaxy map was infinitely more informative; you could even access the system maps of places you'd visited.

I'm looking for frost crystals and I have NO idea how to find a cold planet. I'm wandering around, pointing my ship at every planet and moon I see and tapping "scan" to see if it's got frostwort. Please tell me there's a better way. Maybe after I've visited all the planets, the base info that you see in a scan is in a menu somewhere? Especially if it's galaxy-wide? Even crazier---maybe it's searchable?

Thanks so much for your help.

Acquiring Remembrance? [Question]

I reached the center of the Galaxy and opted to stay in Euclid. I like Euclid, I want to stay there. However, I keep finding things that require something called Remembrance to open/use, and my research online seems to indicate that I needed to side with Atlas to get the prerequisite parts. I never sided with Atlas. Did I screw myself over somehow? Or is there a way to get the parts at this point in my game?

thoughts on space salvaging? [Question]

Other than weapon variety (snipers shotguns pistols etc) I think the only thing missing from this game to make it the perfect space sim would be space salvaging pulling up to wrecks getting supplies or valuables and fighting off space pirates for the scraps of the wreckage then selling what you find at a port would be great what are your guys thoughts?

On "The First Traveler" quest and having issues with the freighter. [Question]

I got to that point of the quest, but when I get there, the crashed freighter is not visible. I look all around, but the planet it happened to be on is full of aggressive sentinels, so it became a challenge.

I ended up leaving the system, and now can't get back. The quest tells me to open the galaxy map, but that's of no help. If I open the galaxy map, searching by "current quest" isn't an available option. I've tried resetting the game, but can't find the quest. I've read that searching for another crashed freighter will work, but not sure the best way. I have some charts for distress signals, but haven't had a hit for a crashed freighter yet. Is there a fix I've missed, or do I just have to find another crashed freighter? If so, is there a shortcut?

Helping Others with Space Combat? [Question]

Hi, I'm new to the game. If you're in a group with another player, and they engage in space combat with a pirate, how can the other person in the group help them? I had another person in my party who got attacked while in space after leaving a space station. I was nearby them, could see them fighting, and flew close to them but I could not see the skull icon, could not target the enemy or help my party member. Any ideas or suggestions?

Thanks.

#

Is there something I'm missing? Or am I just dumb? [Question]

I woke up, repaired my ship, built a base and went to the space station. I spoke to everyone, learned 12 new words, sold stuff, bought stuff. Why does the icon keep taking me back to the station? What am I supposed to do there? (Raw beginner, never play this game before.)

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...

No connection to matchmaking services: having to reset router often, despite wifi being fine [Question]

Hi everyone.

I'm on PS5 and I often have to find myself resetting my Internet router in order to get No Man's Sky's matchmaking services to work. Sometimes I'll be in the middle of a game with a friend, and when I travel to another system, they won't be able to find me anymore, despite going to the anomaly to join me afterwards. Adding more to that, is that when this happens, I'm not able to find my friend code anymore. The friend code disappears whenever matchmaking services is unavailable for me.

What is peculiar is that my wifi is fine. I'm connected to PSN. i can play other multiplayer games. I can stream 4k videos on other devices, but it's on NMS that isn't working. Even closing the game and restarting the PS5 doesn't work. I have to go and reset my router.

Does anyone know what may cause the issue? I can play for a few hours fine.. and then it'll stop working. It can get annoying, especially if you're trying to play with other people.

Center of the Galaxy (again?) [Question]

I've been playing the game off and on since it was released. In the first few months, I arrived at the galaxy center and was moved to the "Hilbert Dimension" galaxy.

I've been working on the Atlas Path since coming back to the game the latest time a few weeks ago. I assume it will send me to yet another galaxy when I arrive. Is it work it?

If I buy a new freighter will all my decorations and people I’ve hired to be in my base transfer over? [Question]

I have lots of decorations and I love how cozy it feels, but its a C class freighter and I’m fairly sure that the higher the ranking of it the more I’ll get out of it. I won’t have to worry about this for a while since I’m dirt poor but it’ll help my mind out if I know. Thank you all!

Gamebreaking Bug / Softlock (HELP PLZ) [Bug]

TL;DR: Stuck on "A Leap In The Dark". I can't reach my ship as its buried under ground, I'm stuck on a harsh radiation planet and the objective is 33 minutes away.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OZws9wr7IoE

More detail:

I started playing with a friend about a week ago, and two nights ago we reached a mission/quest where we had to go through a cool portal. Not like a Space Station portal, but like.. A more special looking portal. It took us to talk to the big red orb thing, and then put us on a nice planet.

However, on this nice planet, for some reason my ship looked identical to my friend's. I had just recently bought my first new ship and I loved it and it looked awesome, so this scared me. I quit the game and relaunched in the hopes that MY ship would be there.

Except...

When I opened my save, it seemed to put me on a different planet. It spawned me in a crazy radiation storm and my ship was buried under the ground. So far under the ground that I couldn't dig to it because I eventually reached undiggable terrain. And it wasn't far enough to be on the other side of the planet.

The objective is 33 minutes away on foot. I also died once as you can see in the video, no way I was making it through that. My friend also quit the game (can't remember why) and when he relaunched he had the same bug as me.

It's like we're on the same planet as before but there's a layer of ground above where we're supposed to be. Like two planets on top of each other...

Anyway, going to try and run to the objective on foot later tonight. Idk if its a true softlock until I try that, but it sure seems buggy enough to be that way. All help is appreciated.

My hope for the game going forward [Suggestion]

NMS has been a on going part of my life for years now, and I've constantly wondered what makes me stop playing it from time to time.

There are a few things i would love to see in the game going forward.

First overhauling player bases. My point here is players have bases on planets usually just to return to those planets, or they just like to build, its a place for storage or production, plants, animals, but beyond the overall apperance of a base there really is no reason to visit other players bases other then to look at them.

What should be done about player bases?

1st give players the ability to not only show up on the galaxy map when looking around, make it a scanner you install on your ship, but give us more of a reason to go to it.

So locating player bases is first.

Then give people cool things they can do once at another players base.

3 things i think players should be able to do at another players base.

First the base should automatically have a sensor that tells the owner that someone visited their base. Like a overall history of other players that have visited them.

2nd bases should have more purpose to them, you should be able to go and help or even sabatoge a players base, this should be optional and the owner of the base would need to allow sabatoge or help from others.

For instance if they made the automatic machines at peoples bases to collectable for the person that owns it by others that would be cool, hello games just needs to set something up where the base computer allows for all kinds of settings and for instance a place others can harvest your stuff for you., by doing so they then can have a % based on what the other puts into the base computer.

The last thing would be a bit more complicated but if they added it to the game that would be amazing.

Player created missions. First make another npc you can recruit for...

XBox or Switch? [Question]

I have been intrigued by No Mans Sky for sometime now and currently do not own the game. I have been a console Elite Dangerous player for many years but since the devs for ED decided to abandon console players I have decided to leave the game. I want to purchase No Mans Sky but not sure what console to buy it for. I know the release for NMS for switch is in october and will have lower capabilities and no multi-player for the switch but I like the idea of being able to go portable as I travel a lot. I keep my Series S in my den but I spend a lot of time upstairs where my switch is hooked up. I'd like to get some opinions from current players so I can make the best judgment. For Elite dangerous I used the flight hotas controller for immersion and it was fantastic, can I use the Hotas for NMS as well or is it better to just use a handheld controller?

Demoralized by a bug, or was I robbed? [Question]

So I was recently trying to make money in the game by refining chlorine. After noticing the quantity of oxygen was much lower than the videos I saw on this, I looked into this and realized they nerfed it. That's okay. Yeah, I put in tons of hours to accrue oxygen and would have to slog forever, but that's fine. I had about 40k oxygen I could use and then I'd try to find something else to do in order to earn units. So, I set up my refiners with the rest of my oxygen and chlorine and went about exploring.

When I returned to my base, my oxygen and chlorine were all gone. I am not sure if someone nicked them, or if they disappeared due to a bug, but either way that sucked. So now I have no oxygen, next to no chlorine, and all those hours accruing oxygen in space stations and planets are for nil. Went to the anomaly to ask for more but got bupkis.

I have found a C-class gas cloud to harness oxygen from, and that will get me 2.5k every 5 hours or so.

Anyway, is there any way to tell if my stuff was stolen? Also, are there any better ways to make money 20-30 hours into a playthrough where I've spent most of my time exploring and harvesting oxygen, or do I have to progress through the game significantly?

Does No Man's Sky feel too cluttered now? -- Outlaw Update [Discussion]

For me, one of the big draws of No Man's Sky was the vastness and peacefulness of unexplored space.

I'd warp into a system, and sure, there'd be a space station, but I could soar between the planets for minutes and hours just taking in the beauty and charting new places, and I'd hardly see another living soul. There would occasionally be a wandering trader, and every now and then I'd get attacked by a pirate, but hey, I could always dive into a planet's atmosphere if I wanted to escape. On the surface of a world, peaceful exploration with a little tension was the name of the game.

But now, I hop in my ship to sort my inventory before take-off, and--

:: HOSTILE SCAN DETECTED ::

I love new features, and the new pirate combat is great, but does anyone else feel like something has been lost with this new update? I'm not drawn to the game to explore much anymore, not because it's hard to fight off pirates, but because I know I'll have to deal with hectic combat in the middle of my chill space wandering game.

How do you feel, fellow Travelers?

Help? Computer Randomly Shutting Down [Question]

Alright, folks, I'm hoping maybe someone can give me some help. My computer keeps randomly shutting down, and ONLY when I play NMS. Even then, it's not consistent. I played last night for several hours, as an example, and no shutdowns. Today, I had 3 shutdowns in the span of about 45 minutes. Other games that I play that I've had zero issues with - Battlefield 2042, Genshin Impact, Cyberpunk 2077, AC Valhalla, Forza Horizon 5, Red Dead Redemption, etc. These games are graphically no pushovers, and I'm having zero issues while playing those on high to ultra settings. This only happens while playing NMS.

I'm running an RTX 3060Ti, 16 gb of RAM, Ryzen 1700X processor. I know my processor is due for an upgrade, which I plan to do soon, but I've also monitored my CPU and GPU usage with the NVIDIA overlay, and my CPU is never going over about 40%, so I don't think that's the issue. Also, after shutdown, I have taken my tower panel off and put my hand over the CPU fan, and it's blowing cool.

Anyone else experienced this or have any ideas?

Sharing my discoveries (ships, multi-tools and fauna) [Screenshot]

Hey fellow interlopers,

I finally got time to "edit" my screenshots and sort everything into albums so I can share with you ships (before solar ships update), multitool (that are located directly in space station) and animals that I encountered during my journey (mostly in Eissentam).

I don't know if NMS coordinate exchange would have allowed a post like this, so I figured I post it here!

SHIPS: https://photos.app.goo.gl/vYTy5oBsd7QgxFbV8

MULTITOOLS: https://photos.app.goo.gl/gTFhiAtSNBi7R7re7

ANIMALS: https://photos.app.goo.gl/JCQGFUDG2kEcXsD16

Pretty much all of the above are located in the Eissentam galaxy, except one or two. Sorry if I made a mistake as I didn't track in which galaxy I made the screenshots. But everything should work.

Feel free to check and grab any ship, multi-tool or animal that you like! I'm pleased if you find something to your liking for your own journey!

Is No Man's Sky multiplayer or singleplayer? [Question]

I've searched the internet but can't seem to find an answer to my question. I've heard that the ''multiplayer'' is more like the soulsborne games because you can't really interact with other players.

I'm planning to purchase the game as a laid-back and relaxing game I can resort to for fun, but the thought of another player coming towards me with murderous intent makes me think it's less of a paradise.

I know the odds are extremely slim, but they're not zero.

How does player discoveries actually work? [Question]

I was at the Anomaly and thought it'd be a cool idea to hop into some player bases.

But when I arrived at someone's base it showed as if I "discovered" the planet, which is obviously not true since there was already a base there. Now I'm scared to upload my discoveries and accidentally take the credit for that person's planet, that would be pretty awkward.

A similar thing happened when I was playing with my friends. We both had the online discoveries active, so I don't know why that would happen. I know that if you want to actually claim something you have to upload it, but what happens in real time when we're playing and everyone is scanning stuff?

How does it actually work?

Farming/Mineral Extraction bug? [Bug]

Ive been playing a new save and really exploring farming and mineral extraction. When I go back to check or collect my bounty 1 my plants either half grow in the bio domes or none at all and 2 my mineral extractors will say full capacity and the storage units will say nothing is going on. Everything is powered correctly and the supply pipes are placed correctly before I finish and leave, just when I come back I get these faults. I have noticed I will get an infinity symbol when I scan the plants that arent growing. I have gone back to delete the biodomes that have issues and replant all the plants and everything grew correctly, then I go to another base where everything was growing correctly and all the plants that were growing fine there are now not and the infinity symbol again. With the extractors I deleted the supply line between them and the storage silos and also the powerline and reinstalled them and they seem to be working fine again. Are these known bugs? Is there anyway to fix this? Any help is much appreciated… I play the xbox version on my PC as well. Any help or guidance is much appreciated

Procgen features should have a discoverable story path [Suggestion]

I was thinking about how many of the features have story paths attached, but some of them don't; they just exist as procgen treasure generators. I'm thinking derelict freighters, ancient relics, ancient bones, frigate missions, space anomalies, etc.

I'm not saying there should be a story for each anomaly or anything, but! If there was one storyline that triggered for a random space anomaly and let you follow it, that would be cool. Nothing fancy, maybe just a three or four step thing with an extra special treasure at the end, and once it happened once it never happened again... that'd be cool.

Maybe a special NPC encounter digging up relics that led you down a plot about grave robbers or something, or rescuing your frigate from a ransom situation that leads to taking on a nest of pirates with a charismatic leader. Not a procgen'd story, a bespoke one that triggers every once in a while, just to spark interest over time. Like a single episode of your hypothetical TV show rather than a whole movie or season.

If they were doled out in big intervals like every 20-40 hours of play, or at least 20 hours after your last one, it could help retain some novelty as the game moves along.

I played v1.09 (Release) on PC for the first time. Here are my first impressions. [Discussion]

I want to start by saying that I am not a "legacy" player, as I began my NMS journey during the NEXT era. While that was a great time to jump into the game, and join the community, I really had missed out on a good chunk of development history. I was always curious about how the game was prior to NEXT, as I had read about both controversy and praise for what it was, at that point. I just really wanted to experience a "simpler" time in the game's history, and see how far it had come.

This wasn't my first time experiencing early NMS, however. A couple of times, I tried that trick with playing 1.0 on the PS4, by deleting the game data and deactivating online connectivity. This prevents the game from downloading updates, and only installs the base. While it seemed neat and interesting, I just couldn't play it like that for long. I had other games on my PS4 that needed to be connected to the internet, and I was playing current NMS more frequently, too.

So, that brings me to today, when I finally got to sit down with an earlier version properly. I am playing 1.09 outside of Steam, as it is from GOG. I can play (and appreciate) both the past and present of NMS this way. Here are my first impressions:

• The art style is more defined, even cartoonish. Some colors tend to pop more than others.

• The textures are a mixed bag. Some look fine from a distance, while others are...not good, especially up close. The patches of grass are low quality, along with other non-scannable flora.

• The plants and animals look similar enough to current NMS. Then again, I have only seen a couple of animals, and I don't know how varied the proc gen was for them, at this point.

• The different elements that need to be gathered have interesting names. It will take some getting used to, especially coming from current NMS's "modern"...

Me spilling my ideas about this game on a page [Discussion]

I had a fun think about things I would like in the game and here's what I came up with. Also these are just me barfing ideas on a page so excuse bad grammar also haven't player in while since sentinels update so mabye they added this stuff

My problem with all these updates we keep getting is most of them don't connect or add much to the loop For example they haven't change like anything with settlements since added their just a new way to make money so what I would love most for this game is to stop adding ways to make money and start adding stuff to spend it on and ways to progess slowly for endgame players

Big fun unlikely updates Organisations: kinda like clans where there is the person who sets up the Organisation like the leader and other roles co leader, associate, worker ect..

You can choose your type of business like selling resources to npcs, have a business making specialised ship parts with certain stats also have like Organisations just do combat missons for npcs or mabye others

There could be like a home base set up by the leader on planets where there could be and upgrade module where the xp you get from doing the missons improves the business.

There could be meetup points for in the nexus where you trade or hire combat business

Mabye a new currency since units is easy to get or people could use nanites and quicksilver Player hunting and fun : I haven't played since sentinels so mabye this is in the game but I really doubt it This game has like little to non player interaction apart from the nexus It would be great if you had some sort of rare device you could use to travel to a random player in the universe

There could also be variations of these devices that track players cargo and wealth if you want to hunt them down for money

Oxygen Storage Depot Never Goes Empty [Bug]

So I have an Oxygen mining facility just 270u out in the water from my base. I trace it back to my base with a few Storage Depots, out of convenience so I can just walk over to the depot on my base and retrieve my Oxygen.

Recently, my base has been glitching. Refiners not emptying etc. Now I removed some decorations and such, I don't think I am anywhere near 3,000 parts, but just in case...

But now I go to empty my Storage Depot with 16,000 Oxygen in it, it takes out the 16,000 and leaves 9,000. So I pull that out too. And that gets added to my inventory so I have 25,000.

This continues to repeat, no matter what I do.

I thought this was because I was sharing my game with a friend, but he was not in my base. He was working on his own base.

So I quit and loaded into single-player mode, but alas, the problem persists.

Any ideas??

Is it worth it to break certain things down in the Refiner for Nanites? [Question]

I recently learned that some things can be broken down in the Refiner to get Nanites. I thought this was great and started collecting all the stuff I usually discard while out. Got back to my base and started breaking things down only to realize the ratios are pretty bad. The Rusted Metal is a really good way to get Ferrite Dust so I'll definitely keep that up. The different fluids though are another story. Breaking down Residual Goop -> Viscous Fluid -> Living Slime -> Runaway Mould -> Nanites is a long process and the ratio is 5 Runaway Mould for 1 Nanite. I'm still really early in the game, just learned how to make Antimatter, so I'm not sure if Nanites are hard enough to get that this is necessary or if it is a waste of time. I just took ~10min to get 50 Nanites. Do you mess with doing this or do you just discard/sell the items?

No Mans Sky - Easy S Class Freight Upgrades (No Fight) [Information]

Dimension - Budullangr

Coords - Bird Bird Tent Bee Triangle Triangle Rocket Boat Hexagon Spiral Beetle Dragonfly (Best I can describe in text)

Launch a derelict freighter beacon. When you find the derelict freighter, land and go to main console to open the main door. Enter the main door and run towards the door in front of you on the left (Blue highlight above door with 1 and up arrow symbol). Open the door, turn left and run towards the heater. Before the heater turn right between the two rows of desks and run straight. At the end of the desks turn left, go through the doorway (no door) and drop down the 1st ladder. Move forward, drop down the 2nd ladder and open the door. Turn left through the door, run to the right hand side of the blue container and forwards inbetween the tipped locker and next blue container. Turn right after the locker and container and open the door in front of you. run forwards and slightly left past the orange container and go to the engineering console to get and S class freighter upgrade. Activate the teleporter and exit the freighter. Get back in your starship, take off, summon your freighter, land, jump out (create save), reload save.

Rinse and repeat until you have all the freighter upgrades.

TIL - the only places I have been hit by the sentinels is running between the desks and just after running between the tipped locker, they didn't take much health so I just ignored the attack :)

Need Assistance finding what I saw. [Question]

Hi, I've been on and off with No Man's Sky over the years and I just restarted a save. I was going to get the Hermetic Seal to fix my ship during the intro and I saw a 'Space-Yacht' sorta ship flying in the atmosphere. I play on my PC Through Gamepass and spent the duration of its appearance trying to figure out how to screenshot it and missed it.

So I come to you, the ship sorta looks like the 890 Jump from star citizen and i wanted to know if it was a ship I could get, an NPC only ship or a freighter. Thank you.

Flashlight question [Question]

Is there a way to keep the flashlight from turning on? It's really annoying having to keep turning it off whenever it decides to come on.

Drop Pods on Multiplayer [Question]

Silly question probably but I'm playing with my wife but she's away for the week on family business. I'm doing some exploring and find the Drop Pods that let me unlock more Exosuit slots. Are they like the one in the Space Station where we both can use it or is it only a one time use? Also if I use it then put down a base computer will she be able to teleport there when she returns to get the upgrade or will she have lost out on it? I don't want her to miss out on the upgrade if possible.

Changing good Settlement Traits for other good Traits - What's the catch? [Question]

My current Settlement has a set of good traits. I'm reluctant to trade them out, because I don't know whether that could make things worse. I don't even know if the Traits give a one-time boost when you accept them, or if it's an ongoing benefit.

For example, if I trade out Well Decorated Quarters (Increases Population) for Fungal Tart Farm (Decreases Maintenance Costs), will I lose population, or lose population growth over time? If I trade out the Fungal Tart Farm for the Well Decorated Quarters, will my Maintenance costs go up?

Should I be trading these for new traits all the time, or just sometimes? Realistically (that is, if this were real, or if I were RP'ing), I wouldn't want to get rid of Well-Decorated Quarters once I had it, but mechanically, if there's no lasting benefit to it, I'd want to trade it out as soon as possible.

How does the world work, I'm new. [Question]

So I am new to this game, and I have really been enjoying it. But my first intro that I can meet players was discovering the space anomaly, but my friend and I are wondering, does everyone inhabit the same universe? I see videos of people meeting other players, but is the entire universe a shared experience? If so, my respect for this game is through the roof, and that would be bonkers.

Thanks

Is this freighter any good? Noob here. S-class , Bug ? [Question]

https://imgur.com/a/QOrDQeF

I warped into a system with a huge battle going on right in front of me. So I evaded and flew into the space station to take care of some things. When I got out, I saw these big ships all packed together and no more battle going on. So I docked because I saw one of the ships had a Dock Tethering Landing System. There were also other planes landing. I went up to the bridge, and spoke with the ship's captain (Corvax). I saw a huge price tag when I inspected the ship. I went ahead and clicked the Green accept bar just for the fun of it, and the ship and it was in fact given to me!!!! I had no money to afford that.

I also tried to search this ship type in the NMS Fandom, is it correct to assume this is a Venator class? As for the subclass, is this a Imperial or Resurgent class?

I also saw you can have fleets. I have a mining ship now as part of my fleet. Man, I am totally overwhelmed because each time I return there is so much new things that almost make me want to stop again because it is way too overwhelming.

Can you please tell me if this ship one of the good freighters (there are so many) and what you would do from here on?

Thanks in advance !

is it worth it to use a black hole? [Question]

My plants and mines stopped working since yesterday - none of the usual causes apply [Bug]

Yesterday I realised my plant timers were resetting every time I warped to my farm. They would also read as if I'd planted them that very second (even though they were planted hours ago). Same for the mines - always at 0 storage with a fresh clock.

So I did what seemed logical - I deleted those bases from the base computer and rebuilt them.

Afterwards, I was able to farm and mine one full load. But now, I'm having the exact same issue in ALL of my new bases.

I did not participate in the expedition or change my system clock.

Everything has power and is wired properly.

It's not somebody else stealing - I took the doors off the farm to be sure.

What could this possibly be???

Frigate Repair Bug [Question]

I have a Frigate that is always damaged on missions. When I recall the frigate and land on it, they identify one component for repair, but it never gets marked. At first, I thought my it repaired itself, but it now happens every mission. Google tells me this was an old bug, but I can't seem to fix it. Warping to new systems, new missions, reloading, doesn't seem to work. I would just send it on a suicide mission, but it is my only A class and highest rated explorer frigate. Any suggestions?

Base not working anymore ? [Build]

Hello everyone , i have a big problem !

Two weeks ago i started building this base on a location i find amazing , it have mineral deposit , crashed freighter next to it , electricity deposit and gas too.

For electricity , i expanded my base thanks to some youtube tutorials. It's 500u away from my base computer, and i had no problem to build it. But now that i have expanded a little bit my house, when i tried to add more electric poles on my deposit , the area is now considered out of my base and the 100 wood floors i tried to build to re-expand it don't seem to fix anything

Plus , I have a lot of biodomes , and extractors. Everything is powered , power output is enough, i'm under the maximal amount my electric network can handle.

My minerals extractors are playing their animation/Sounds as if they were digging , but when i interract with them i have a production of 0u/h and it says i have reached my maximal capacity

My biodomes have light , seems to have electricity , but my plants just don't grow ,even tho it worked fine before and i added nothing ?

Any idea of what is happening , how can i know what is happening , and an eventual fix ? It's on the capital planet of galactic HUB, LA MORLETTE , if anyone want to check directly in site

Thanks in advance i feel a bit demotivated to have this perfect base that isnt functionnal

I am back and OH MY GOD so much to do [Question]

So, I bought NMS at release, played about 50 hours, liked it but dropped it pretty soon.

A couple weeks ago I booted it up, and boy am I hooked. It gives me Subnautica vibes (and I freaking loved Subnautica!)

I do have several questions, treating the game as a newbie (started a new game file cause I had no idea about anything).

Ships: So I discovered you can get different tiers of ships and differend kind, what's the easiest way to understand which type is better? (beside the tier ofc) Also I read there's ship farming as in you can reroll the ships you get landing on a trading post, or station. How is that done? Does it work on ps4?

Freighter. So I got my huge ship, and I recruited 2 S freighter. I can't swap my original huge ship (a C one) with these, can I? Is the original ship changeable or the only way to get it better is to improve it?

Squadron: is that for ship flying along with you and helping in fights?

Living ships: So this is a thing now? WTF? YOu find this around? can you buy them from merchant landing in stations?

Exotic ships: what are exotic ships? Are they worth more or is simply aesthetic?

I found some huge "stations" on planets where they have landing pads, a center in which you can get trivia from the race of the planet, and there's this cabinet with drawers in which you should put stuff but I can't figure out what. ( i got several dino bones and so on, but it won't accept those?)

If I travel to the anomaly and use the teleport, it suggests 3destinations from other players, why? What's the point?

On the station there is a guy selling stuff for a weird currency, scrap or something (sorry but english isn't my language so I don't know what those are called) but I never stumbled upon that currency, what is that?

Exotool, can you find S tier or the only way is upgrading your own? I have an A one, and not sure if I should...

First-time player needs some guidance [Question]

Hello travelers!

I'm a first-time player. I'm really enjoying the game but need some guidance about what to do next as well as some general information. I'm some 20 hours in, but that doesn't mean much, because I'm a slow player, who likes to take his time, explore leisurely, and hoard stuff. First of all, I'm still using the initial ship and I think it's past time for an upgrade. My system is plagued by pirates, so it would have to be something strong against them. Also, I'd like to be able to do Nexus missions solo, even the harder ones. I'm a slow player who likes to explore and hoard stuff, so I don't think I'd be a good fit for a party. I've noticed too that space stations offer some missions against pirates with nice rewards, like an extra multi-tool slot. On the other hand, I'm pressed by lack of storage and a bigger ship would be a godsend. Taking that into consideration, what should I look for? More important, where should I look for it? My system seems to be a poor one: I only see C-class ships on the Space Station and trade posts. I have the economy scanner installed but don't know how to use it on entire systems yet. Also, I'm tied to the initial jump range, which seems to be very short. My budget is around 30 mil units, which I got by laboriously refining chlorine. Of course, I can grind a little more if absolutely necessary. My next question is about money-making. Until now, I've used the chlorine method but it gets a bit boring after a while. My base is on a cold and blue planet that seems to have indium. At this point, should I go for an indium farm as my main money-making method? I think I have most of the tech unlocked but if not I can easily unlock it. Still on the subject of money, I already realized that the bottleneck is nanites, not units. I only have some 3k nanites and each s-class upgrade module costs 500 or so. How can I get to amass some more,...

Ran out of things to do... [Question]

I think I finished all missions and tasks in Euclid and wandered into another galaxy. Set up huge bases for others to use and even have a massive community farming base in the Hub.

I don't want to get bored.... Thanks,

Living Ship Hunting Question [Question]

I could very easily use portal codes to get the ship I want, but my ego demands that I hunt and find the perfect ship on my own.

That being said, should I keep pulsing in the same system forever until I find the right one, or does each system only have a certain number of variations like normal ships?

I'm trying to find a red and black with a certain design but I have spent DAYS trying to find it with no luck.

I'll spend hours in a single system with what seems like no pattern but I do see repeats occasionally. I'm wondering if it would be smarter to jump to a new system after just a few tries or does it really matter?

tldr Does a star system have infinite living ship variations or a fixed number?

Also any other tips for finding a specific style/color or is it truly random?

What do you consider your ideal start system and home planet to be? [Question]

For me I need to start on an ice planet. I love the cold climate and the look of them. The second thing I need is to be close to at least a minor settlement for trading. Finally leaving the planet I would like there to be salt in the system.

After multiple starts I finally have the ideal system I think. Home is cold and icy and I have two planets with salt and there is a paradise planet if I get sick of my frigid domicile.

What is yours?

Void Egg problem [Question]

Someone gave me a working void egg I got the mission starbirth but its not giving me a location to gather Hexite at anymore. I was doing the main missions when it popped up and I thought ill do it later gather the hexite which turned out yo be a massive mistake.

I am on Console the PS4 to be exact is there anything I can do to still find Hexite or do I need someone to give me Hexite? I am at a loss and that mission is starting to drive me nuts.

Gas disappearing from mines? [Question]

The Korvaxium Empire- A Growing Civilization- JOIN TODAY!!! [Civ Advertisement]

The Korvaxium Empire's Flag.

Civ. Summary.

The Korvaxium Empire is a Player Civilization located in the Luskijima Anomaly Region of the Eissentam galaxy.

The main Government is located on planet Urringh X in the Midoriy System. While it is based in Eissentam, the Korvaxium Empire will soon annex star systems in other galaxies.

Members of the Empire are encouraged to claim as many systems as possible. While the Empire is a very imperialist style monarchy, citizens are still very free to follow their greatest desires. All can build, trade and explore. All citizens are united under the phrase "Kuyby live Bokhodimia" (Korvax for Long live Korvaxia).

Unlike most civilizations the Empire has a capital city, called Korvaxia. It is located on the Empire's capital planet Urringh X.

Urringh X, the Empire's capital planet.

Why Join?

The Korvaxium Empire is a community-based civilization. Once it gains a significant following, the Empire will be primarily good for multiplayer and community experiences. Of documentation is another example. With a lot of players in a confined area of the galaxy, finding planets, ships, multi-tools will be extremely easy.

How to Join?

Joining is easy! The first way to join the Empire is to leave a comment stating your username on this post. The second way is to build a base in the Empire's capital system, Midoriy. The third and final way to join is to leave a request to join on the Empire's embassy page on the NMS wiki.
