Normal and creative are dull enough, survival and permadeath are very noticeable.

Well, white in itself is a pretty noticeable colour, so if new people always got a non-white role that'd avoid them standing out so much, and maybe reduce that too?

"Normal" grey is similar enough to "Familiar" grey... But "Survival" brown is... dark.

[reef sun]

yeah it wouldn't be something desirable to me

[thorny prawn]

can you make my name sparkle

[naive folio]

I've wondered like, if Discord updates role color frequently enough to make a bot that changes roles to be like a rainbow.

@keen violet it was originally similar in colour to October's Sky but people didnt like being pink.

[keen violet]

Wow. Triple facepalm. 🥺

I would've LOVED October Sky color.

Sad times.

Amusing that GTA Discord uses pink for Nitro boost. As the icon itself is pink. But the community here was opposed to it.

[reef sun]

Wasn't my idea; it is the default colour

Give me a sec

[keen violet]

Exactly. My main issue is that it's just yellow, as all the early Xp level roles. So I never got to enjoy the green or purples. 🥺

I say "issue" but it was more of a concern really.

Stupid robot

[thorny prawn]

discord is having problems

[robust pine]

I kind of wish there were two screenshot channels. One for the artistic screenshots, and the other for people who want to post their ship, memes, or basically anything that's not meant to show off a scene. So many good screenshots get overlooked because the channel is just a flood of random things.

[storm moss]

This might exist somewhere, but a place to show off bases

[clever hollow]

Honestly a couple different themed screenie channels would be good cause more people play now

[reef sun]

define to me what an artistic screenshot is then

[stiff ice]

...

[median ivy]

how about a bot to exchange code with?

you put a command and you receive a code, or, you put a command and your code so it gets registered

[robust pine]

by artistic screenshot, I meant "a screenshot submitted for the purpose of appreciating the visuals in NMS" as opposed to "this is a picture of my cool gun stats" or "check out my five pictures of the base I made" or "lol memes"

[reef sun]

Tldr; its too much to police another screenshot channel; people find it difficult to stay on topic as is; there too many variables still to "appreciates the visuals in NMS"

[robust pine]

fair enough

maybe a Channel for smaller servers to post there ads if they also run nms

[naive folio]

I second this motion: #discord-server-feedback message

[serene lark]

Should be able to identify which players play on normal mode or play survival mode, etc
@formal axle I’m from the future and this exists now

[toxic hare]

If this has been suggested before my apologize but is there a way we could get a base/ship channel as opposed to just having things consoldated into screenshots?

It makes it more difficult to find things if you're looking for something specific because I tend to take inspiration or interest in others achievements/creations, but many times people will just post what the find/make without text that could be search from the search bar, not to mention screenshots is filled with countless screenshots of everything from meme tier in game images to planetary photos and images of space.

[molten haven]

Add a nms trading channel where people can swap surplus and request things they need

[unkempt nimbus]

Add a class roll for builder 🔨

[wild sphinx]

Add a NMS Coordinate Sharing channel for people to share their findings

[gusty venture]

That would be really nice because it would be easy to scroll thru to look for cool places to visit.

[unkempt nimbus]

Additionally if we had some guidelines for what to call things in our posts it would be easier to search for things... For example for ships I've seen the same ship described as a "viper triple Halo" it a "three engine hot rod ring" not the former is more common and I'm not saying anything strict but that if you want your post to be helpful use this terminology.

That said how much overlap does the server leadership want this server to have with other resources like the coordinate exchange? Do they want to compete or each have their own niches?

[reef sun]

I'll consider the builder role; as for the separated screenshot channel I have already touched on why I don't want there to be separated ones and it goes directly into enforcing any kind of naming conventions for screenshots or items. I have no interest in pursuing a policing system for the way people name their finds; and NMSCE more than likely already has a sufficient program in place for finding things. I have no issue with using NMSCE to find things in lieu of Atlas Codex being no longer functional.

[thorny prawn]

hm, atlas codex shut down?

that's a shame

[toxic hare]

@reef sun thanks I can understand the point of view and appreciate the response.

[lean perch]

Okay so I have considered this for a while and hear me out;
Being here on the server for a while now I have noticed that there are certain problems with users sometimes not behaving. And after careful consideration and some research I have come up to the solution to this problem, to permanently stop spaming, shitposting, and sending messages in inapropriate channels. God, I am infuriated just by thinking about the last one. Okay so the suggestion will solve all these problems permanently and forever so that no modding will ever be needed again. Ban all users. Simple as that. No more stress ever again.
No need to thank me, always happy to help out 👍

[toxic hare]

Hey Ves.
We have something that may help you to overcome the problem you have posted, after a long discussion we have implemented something just for you.
If you right click the server icon, you'll see an option that says "Leave Server". If you click this button, it will forever silence all of the shit posting from other users for you.
Thanks for your suggestion.

[lean perch]

Amazing! I think we should do a community project where we all just do that together to combat all problems on this server, ever!

[reef sun]

mm, yeah, still dead

#nms-ideas or #nms-thoughts channel for discussing more meta-related ideas for new NMS features, or adjustments to existing features.

Thoughts basically being the same but more open to discussion of game direction alongside ideas.

This way main NMS is still for current game discussion, spoilers for story & upcoming content stuff, and legacy for old version shot sharing & discussion.

[reef sun]

Ahead of you #nms-the-future

[radiant lynx]

--suggest

hmm, doesn't work yet

Well, I've had a suggestion for the #nms-the-future channel that maybe we need some sort pinned lists of interesting ideas or suggested fixes so it will not be drown in the chat easily

and maybe for the pinned list to happen, using the same system as the screenshot one (vote using emotes) and the list is made every week(?)

I'm not sure if it is efficient for that

[snow echo]

what is the actual goal with pinning the ideas? HG isn't going to see them, so I'm just not sure what you're trying to suggest besides that

[radiant lynx]

Yeah I guess 😕

[serene lark]

Sean is in the server

[snow echo]

Nah

[tropic elbow]

Exactly. Sean isn't in the server. Sean is the server

[snow echo]

[brave sun]

Pinning commonly-suggested ideas would mean people could see them there or be told to instead of keep reiterating the same ideas.

[reef sun]

The point of #nms-the-future is to discuss its not really about pinning or voting on ideas. It was created because some users wanted a place to discuss problems and future improvements without it getting lost in main chat which often bounces around. Speaking of pins; a reminder that this channel is not for demands or conversation either and this point is even more vital right now as the bot cannot easily separate out suggestions.

The latter is in reference to the "GIVE ME COLOR" comment earlier.

[wary elk]

I just want to say that the link to Discord on the Hello Games' website is broken. https://hellogames.org/contact/ (Also, hello! 👋)

[reef sun]

This is for the server and the subreddit so we can't really do anything about HGs website

[shell atlas]

I know I spam a lot of music. Elephant in the room out of the way.
It might be annoying to the people talking about #other-games which is the only reason I am asking about the music channel.
I saw from previous posts in this channel that there was a music channel previously and I'm probably overthinking, but maybe I'm not overthinking.
I just don't want to annoy people with my spam in #off-topic-bond-james-bond or #other-games
I might annoy people playing with bots in #bot-spam
I'll shut up now

[reef sun]

Unfortunately like a lot of servers I'm in the music channel didn't work very well because its either a bunch of links that people ignore or there's music elitism that starts to happen in it. I'm not saying that's something you would personally do but people end up being that way about it. If it annoys people they can say something; #bot-spam is outside this as the name implies no one should be getting annoyed at anything there.

[shell atlas]

All good Thena! Thank you for responding :)

[sturdy valve]

I got a suggestion, maybe a section for friend codes? Would be useful

[inner shadow]

@shell atlas I can also confirm no one thinks dropping some great music links in #other-games is spam, that's the point of the channel, and all music is dope music ❤️

[shell atlas]

@reef sun @inner shadow you two are too nice 😊

[inner shadow]

we try c:

[toxic hare]

@shell atlas

[shell atlas]

What you lookin at with those husky eyes @toxic hare ?

[proper cloak]

I hope one day we can have a channel for posting other NMS servers too that is also focused on helping new members and trying help build the NMS community ^ also that channel can be set on slow mode so ppl don't spam the links and also making sure it's all sfw server pls look if you guys can make that happen . Thank you

[reef sun]

So as far as the helpful communities that are known like modding and taxis; we usually allow those being posted anyway to help new players. Advertising small servers just becomes a pain because it sets a precedent and then everyone wants to plug their server and its not really why people should be here. If you have a server that youd like people to join you can ask them and dm the link; just don't advertise it in here. Thats mostly the reasons I don't support creation of a channel for this ☺

[proper cloak]

ty for the response miss also i was just try not have ppl dm advertise ;A; but if its ok to do so to people who maybe interested on looking at smaller servers ok ty also run a server with 380 members in 70 days and climbing with 34 server boost ^u^ my inspiration to make an NMS server came from here

[late mauve]

does the bot work yet?

.suggest

fack

[tropic elbow]

--suggest

Guess not 😕

[main basalt]

i suggest to add a rate my stuff channel or just rms where people post images of their bases, their ships, their frighters and other stuff and people can rate them

[wicked sapphire]

I would like to expand upon this, perhaps it's a nice addition to have a separate channel, which revolves around the same #nms-the-future does, but has a high-delay slow-mode (~5m?) and allows the posting of high-quality concepts which much effort is put in. In this channel, a bot reacts to every message/image and allows people to vote on whether or not they like the idea. (Basically the suggestion mentioned above, but in a separate, monitored environment.) This allows them to receive feedback without the post getting lost in history. Perhaps another addition to this could be a 2nd "louvre" for concepts that receive a big amount of support and positive feedback.

This gives a clean overview of liked and appreciated concepts, for everyone to see and gain inspiration from.

[reef sun]

We can discuss it; the purpose of #nms-the-future was mostly to discuss the future of the game. It's not really a voting place for ideas as ideas for the game still get sent to Zendesk and HG for implementation (not guaranteed ofc). It was also meant to detract from #no-mans-sky which is a free-for-all of sorts and focus mostly on discussing aspects of the game as #forever-archived-legacy often got caught up in old vs. new comparison discussions or "what I don't like that they've done" discussions and it was getting overshadowed as a place to enjoy and celebrate the old versions of the game. #nms-the-future serves that purpose too and wasn't really intended as a ranking system of who's ideas were good or bad.

[wicked sapphire]

I can understand, but i still do miss a place to consistently be able to receive feedback in. I would like perfect and improve upon my idea as much as possible before i send it to HG. A separate channel that allows for the voting on these concepts would give me a general view about what's good in its current state, and if people like it, and the concepts/idea's that still need some reworks or polishing. but again, this is a minor suggestion, and entirely up to the NMS Discord team. 🙂

Would it be possible to have a Module Build section with subsections for MultiTool, StarShip, ExoSuit, ExoCraft, and Freighter for people to share a screenshot of how they have their modules setup and the strategy behind it?

@bitter grail that would be awesome :))

[bitter grail]

I think it would be pretty helpful for new players and even veteran players who haven't optimized their modules or don't understand how to do it

[strong moat]

I started to play this game 3 weeks ago and i was always wondering the same about where i would find the perfect combination of modules

The extra screenshot channels are just more to juggle as people have a hard time using channels for their intended purpose already and I don't see why they can't be shared in either #nms-photomode-gallery or #nms-questions

They'd just get lost in all the touring photos

It’s not a code issue, as the version running supports the new discord API changes. the bot owner needs to go and change a setting to allow new privileges.

And maybe verify the bot too, which could be the issue.

[reef sun]

Ive been working on some new colours for the level up roles that build on each other and I have a tentative new version to use but I think it would be unfair to change something so drastically without any input from you guys! Right now it moves from gold to blue to magenta gradually. I've planned on maybe adding some more green in there as some people are fans of Robust! Let me know by vote below if a building colour change like this would be cool or not!

Any other reaction will be ignored

[late mauve]

I think the change from spirited to persistent is kinda sudden but other than that that looks fine

then again why do I care I've got them all

[reef sun]

That's also where I'm still working on it so I gotchya

[half shore]

Idk if anyone else has this issue but Persistent and Robust are nearly the same color to me. Maybe echoing what CM said, but perhaps Persistent could be slightly more green?

[reef sun]

its already been changed to include green

familiar through robust were altered so it goes from gold to green to blue

[floral dew]

I was hoping there would be a thread for creatures 🙂 or should that just be in screenshots?

[snow echo]

Probably just in screenshots, yeah

[toxic hare]

I dunno why just now but I had this idea

Of making the colors of ranks follow the Atlas Seeds

But yeah, now that the new colors are set there's no point in changing in any further

[tropic elbow]

Maybe but then two of them are practically the same exact color

[abstract sable]

three of them would look the exact same.

the yellow and the two oranges are far too close together on the color spectrum, literally to the point that adobe photoshop cannot tell the difference even though our eyes clearly can.

id highly doubt youd be able to put all the colors differently.

[naive folio]

Is there a reason I don’t know of that #nms-reddit-feed is in the information category and not the No Mans Sky category?

[toxic hare]

This Discord server is for the subreddit.

[naive folio]

Well yeah, but it’s nestled among the rules, announcements, and role selection. Seems out of place if you ask me.

[toxic hare]

Hang on let me rephrase.
This Discord is an extension of the subreddit, and for the subreddit. Most people here are from the subreddit and because of the subreddit. Having the reddit-feed display a flow of content from the subreddit will ensure users here can see posts that may interest them and view the post.

Very well; no political memes will be permitted on the server.

although the pinned message in #archived-old-serious does explain:

So going forward I'd like to see more conversation directed ideas and links/sources used as support rather than the catalyst. We've had issues lately with articles driving the conversation rather than adding to it. In order to understand what your point here is I'd have to either read the article or go by the headline, neither of which could follow the intent.

[naive folio]

Hmm. Okay.

[reef sun]

and since irrelevant memes do not support the conversation and rather catalyze it; you violated that policy

and the link was removed

[naive folio]

Hmm. Okay.

[serene lark]

Literally 1984

[naive folio]

No 1985, 1984 is too small a number

[reef sun]

This is a No Man's Sky server.

[serene lark]

What? I thought this was a political meme dump. My bad

[reef sun]

Your mistake.

This channel is for suggestions and not discussing what you don't like about #memes🤡; so we'll end it there.

[naive folio]

Ok

[feral hatch]

Lmao

Political memes right now would kill the mood anyway, after [REDACTED] happened, that's the last thing I want to see right now. I'm not saying the redacted part because political discussion may get me banned.

[dawn plover]

Alright so my suggestion, the #bot-spam channel, split it into two. One of the games and one for checking levels and doing timely. That way if some people are playing like hangman or something, others can easily check their balances and what not

[delicate briar]

channel specifically for portal glyphs when

[toxic hare]

I'm sure this has been suggested plenty of times. Pet channel

[dawn plover]

We need one yes lol

[soft bear]

the server logo should be changed into an animated one

its not useful in any way but i think it will look cute

[dire pier]

This dude ^

[thorny prawn]

@soft bear If someone wants to provide a replacement server icon it will always be considered

[toxic hare]

How about that one gif of the icon on the official website?

[dapper valve]

No mans tunes

[keen violet]

Which gif are you referring to? Is it animated? I ask since I don't see one in the mobile version of the site at least.

[serene lark]

Music goes in #other-games

But if games and media were separated music wouldn’t be drowned out by people talking about games

[serene lark]

So this

Would be nice

[toxic hare]

We had that previously, got complaints and compromised on the current channel.

[serene lark]

Well that was a long time ago

[toxic hare]

It absolutely will not be split and returned to its previous state.

Sorry you missed it, I guess.

[serene lark]

What spirit said

[toxic hare]

Yep.

[cold viper]

there should be a chanel to share your characters

[reef sun]

#roles

[cold viper]

oh im stupid sorry

[viral coral]

I think this place needs a building channel

[solemn thorn]

can we have a bot that auto-deletes non-image posts in #nms-photomode-gallery ?

(i hadn't asked previously since it seemed like some discussion was encouraged, but it's gotten a bit much now and then and then today clearly asked for non-discussion, so on the theory that a bot can handle this better than humans..)

cancel that, per clarifications

[toxic hare]

Make it so drug talk in off topic is ok

[reef sun]

No.

[reef sun]

No reason to.

@naive folio I suggest you move on from whatever issue it is you have.

[proper aurora]

make a Coordinate sharing tab for S rank ships / tools / other stuff people can find

[inner shadow]

grounds?

just want to know this is what you want.

Acknowledged.

but nah, it's an English server, although there might be a German NMS server somewhere out there; I know there's a significant French NMS community

[flat frigate]

Be nice to see section for bases pictures

Also builds that people have with ship / multi-Tools. / ect

[dawn plover]

Thats really what the #nms-photomode-gallery channel is for

[dawn plover]

Add more hangman categories to the bot or see if we can enable them

[inner shadow]

remove all minigames from the bot

[keen violet]

I'm trying to gauge if Fluffy is joking.

Lol Not that I'd vote against shrinking down unused games.

[inner shadow]

100% serious, and then make bot-spam staff only, thereby making mod-spam redundant

...wait but then people would check xp in actual channels

shit

[solemn thorn]

Make .xp mods-only, so that it doesn’t encourage XP-chasing

[keen violet]

I don't think I follow.

What's possibly perceived with a more negative connotation, as "xp-chasing" I also see as a way that encourages users to chat in (non bot-spam) channels more often. Xp levels also play a role in who can upload images to certain channels, and who can access a channel like #archived-old-serious. Moreover, xp-level based colors have played a part in that "xp-chasing" idea, which can be fun for some of us. So I'm unclear why we'd want to discourage (non-mod) users to partake in that process.

[solemn thorn]

I wholeheartedly support every aspect of the process other than the .xp bot command.

But the .xp command doesn't show anything about the color levels, or distinctions granted by them — it only shows a bunch of monotonic integers that go up intermittently (by design).

As it's currently used, it feels a lot more like a debug tool than a user-facing thing related to the levels system — but I do understand that it's the only way to view 'current level' in any regard at all.

[keen violet]

It's easier for users to check their Xp than needing to wait for a mod to be available to run the command though. So practicality-wise, removing the permission would likely create more unnecessary work.

[solemn thorn]

I'm not persuaded that users much need to know their XP, other than to know to check their level in their user tags. I am currently 'whatever dark yellow' is and, once I'm past the initial screenshots gate, there seems to be no further relevance to the actual numeric level that would make running .xp commands worth my time.

[keen violet]

So perhaps the concern you're raising has more to do with creating more awareness on what the xp levels mean, what each color represents, as in which level, etc. Just trying to figure out what the main concern is so a more effective solution can be identified.

[solemn thorn]

Well, I consider positive-integer ranking systems to be wildly addictive, in a harmful way, to human beings.

Like this post if you agree!

And so having .xp show you "current integer level, which you can increment by commenting" feels like a trap.

It's a well-intended trap, but .. it leaves me very uncomfortable, and is why I never use the command. I don't want my participation to be due to chasing a higher integer.

I like the levels. They are good encouragement when separated from the raw numeric XP behind them. They're a great way to protect the server and I'm puzzling over how to adapt it to other systems, too.

And I think that "percentage of participation XP until your next level" is a lot kinder on the soul that "exact number of internet points you must gain" — it seems like it would be just the same, but the percentage masks the raw number chasing aspect behind something so imprecise that it's not readily gamed/addictive/etc, even at level 1.

[keen violet]

Running the command is certainly optional. And I support you not using it. It's definitely a personal choice. Hence why I can't say I'd want it to only be accessible to mods, as it'd become more of a hindrance to mods who are volunteering their time, than an actual solution to the broader more philosophical concern about addictive behaviors that prevail social media in general.

[solemn thorn]

I'd be perfectly content to see it removed altogether so that no one can ask for it, of course 🙂 But I understand that this likely will go nowhere.

Thanks for giving it consideration.

[keen violet]

I'm not the one with the final say. I was just trying to understand the request and providing my personal take in all honesty. Your concern will be taken into consideration when discussing other matters about #bot-spam influenced by prior posts.

[reef sun]

Maybe if I manage to fix up welcome the role progression will make more sense and be easily readable for people. I think I may even put a list where you can see all the role colours if that would help people strive more for a colour due to xp.

I can expand sections to give more detail following the ideas Red provided to me 😊

[remote coral]

A channel to share locations would be great for people who've unlocked portals. Can be to share bases and spawns. I have an indium farm I have glyphs and coordinates to but I can't seem to find an appropriate channel to share that info

[reef sun]

I will be adding a coordinates channel as a test channel and see how it goes 🙂

just being selfish and waiting until my weekend is over 😛

[left stone]

I was just thinking, this community could do a yearly contest. in regards to the planets/fauna. like there were certain category's most earth like planet weirdest planet or most menacing fauna cutest fauna and everyone could explore searching for planets/fauna that fit the bill to discover and submit as their entry. then hold a community vote to determine winners or such.

you know maybe

[remote coral]

Take your time, it'll be some time until it fills up with locations to explore anyway

[reef sun]

#explorers-archive 😊

[toxic hare]

Not sure if that's the right place to suggest this

But I see !tier command answer has the XB1 and PS4 fields, when we already have the new generations of consoles available

[inner shadow]

...ya know, that's a good point

[toxic hare]

I don't know how community progress is tracked on these, but I'd suggest adding more fields

Or just having 1 general for Xbox and 1 general for PS

[inner shadow]

I prefer that second option, myself (the one for each thing)

[toxic hare]

Depends on how the progress is tracked, if all of Xbox players share it then yes, 1 field would be enough

[inner shadow]

might require retooling the role/delete and readding it under new parameters, but it should be swingable

[quick compass]

HG still only has the 3 categories on https://galacticatlas.nomanssky.com/poi/community-research, if/when they add the new consoles i'll update the tier command

[inner shadow]

o7 you the best Doc

[simple marlin]

purely a suggestion, considering the amount of screenshot, co-ordinate and other channels like NMS art etc, how about a new category called “No Man’s Eye” which includes all of the above?

i rarely come in, but for people who return the addition of more and more channels could be slightly confusing

obv the name is stupid but you get the jist

[inner shadow]

eh, I've noted over the years that most users actually like more channels, instead of less

especially when we consolidate, we get a lot of blowback

[simple marlin]

it should be known that i am not suggesting removing channels, purely organisation of said channels - i think they’re good

[inner shadow]

duly noted c:

[simple marlin]

i just noticed when i came in that if said users like the amount of channels in which they can expand their content to post / discuss, it may be nicer to organise into their own category etc. but cheers for replying!

then again, i get it due to it being still related to NMS

[snow echo]

Oh like a category for stuff like screenshots and art separate from the regular NMS channel category??

[simple marlin]

yep that’s exactly what i meant!

for example

#the-louvre, #no-mans-art, #explorers-archive and #nms-photomode-gallery and maybe even #october-sky are all screenshot, art related NMS channels

explorers archive maybe questions due to it being a co-ord channel but the majority of all i see is screenshots anyway

as a personal opinion a separate category to accentuate those channels would look great and a nicer place to keep them all organised

[snow echo]

Personally I kind of like that idea

[simple marlin]

if there are other screenshot channels i missed lmk XD

i only noticed it bc i saw a few channels i didn’t recognise and it just clicked

again personal opinion but i know u guys discuss stuff as a team so i hope maybe something comes of it

[snow echo]

We'll see what happens
The idea has my support but I'm just one, unfortunately lmao. Thank you for the suggestion

[simple marlin]

np

[keen violet]

I second what Spirit said, after reading it further.

[toxic hare]

Sounds like a decent suggestion, I'd support it as well.

[simple marlin]

[inner shadow]

o.o

[toxic hare]

This isn't a channel for memes. This is a channel for suggesting changes for this server.

[winter jewel]

What about a channel for base chat? Like tips, tricks, and just sharing base photos?

[reef sun]

Haven't heard any objections so I'll move the related channels together and see how it goes.

[rigid shard]

Good suggestion by Ryan??, looks good

[viscid ingot]

an NMS fashion channel

to show off your ships, multi tools, and outfits

that would be cool

anyone second this?

[dawn plover]

Thats what screenshots is for really

[viscid ingot]

i still feel like it would be a nice to have a place to share specifically outfits and ships and gear

[dawn plover]

I'll bring it up to the mod team and see what they think too

[amber thorn]

couldn’t those things go in explorers archive?

[viscid ingot]

but we have to include coords and i have no idea where i got any of the stuff from

[amber thorn]

oh

[simple marlin]

YO @ mod team - nice thankyou for inputting my suggestion

just for that im hitting up that server boost, thanks for being awesome

[dawn plover]

Better phrasing- We all thought it was a great suggestion

[inner shadow]

seconding this, but I also want to avoid adding new text channels if possible, as we have quite a lot.

[reef sun]

#explorers-archive also is meant to cover all these sharing concepts; once they get diluted there won't be enough activity to justify. #explorers-archive isnt dead but its already slow on its own

[viscid ingot]

so can i post my ship and suit there

[reef sun]

If you post them with coordinates yes, otherwise #nms-photomode-gallery

[wicked sapphire]

Suggestion: A channel (very low slowmode) in which we can post game suggestions and get feedback in from the community before we submit it to HG. I know we can suggest additions to HG but receiving some feedback from the community before we suggest it is in my eyes very welcome. Other people may look at something from a different perspective, and have suggestions that you overlooked. I have tried receiving feedback on ideas but most of them go unnoticed or just get lost in new. A channel that focuses on just that would be a very useful addition in my opinion. I don't know if any HG devs are in this server, but that would also be a nice source of inspiration. Nonetheless, a place to receive feedback from the community on game ideas is mainly what im going for here.

[brave sun]

Isn't that vaguely what #nms-the-future is intended for?

[tropic elbow]

Yes

[wicked sapphire]

yes, but what i'm looking for is mostly community feedback on detailed and high quality concepts. #nms-the-future does kind of fill that role, but is more often than not just used for general discussion about the future of the game and small ideas.

i cannot post images here, but these are the concepts i am talking about #nms-the-future message

i would really like to make concepts like these even better and i need feedback from a larger community other than myself to do so. After that, i can submit them to HG/post them on reddit.

another example: #nms-the-future message

#nms-the-future message

don't get me wrong, i absolutely love #nms-the-future , but i just think a place specifically to receive feedback from the community on concepts would be a very welcome addition.

[thorny prawn]

If you’re looking for more feedback than you got in the examples you’ve shared, segregating it isn’t the right solution. Not every user follows every channel - breaking up channels is a solution when a single topic dominates conversation. We can’t force users to discuss a topic, or follow a channel.

[toxic hare]

Make a starboard-like bot for #nms-photomode-gallery

[wicked sapphire]

in that case, what would be a good way to recieve more feedback? i don't want to keep on reposting the same concepts in #nms-the-future because i don't know whether or not that is allowed

[simple marlin]

they already have that kind of

just not a bot

[toxic hare]

Well yeah i know

Just saying its kind of tedious when it can be automated

[simple marlin]

ig so

[dawn plover]

We have enough bots atm

[reef sun]

You can repost; I can't force people to address ideas if they don't want to. #nms-the-future is intended to be used to discuss the past and future of No Man's Sky; and I'm not really interested in creating a channel with the concept of "only detailed and high quality concepts", because that is too subjective and exclusive.

[wicked sapphire]

got it. thank you.

[half shore]

What about something similar to #nms-photomode-gallery and #the-louvre? For example, after 5-10 ❤️ or 👍, etc, an #nms-the-future post gets pinned in the channel.
It could push the community to actually consider ideas that arent their own.

[toxic hare]

I can't see what that would achieve. The channel exists "for fun". It's for discussions on the things that people wonder how NMS would play if features existed.

[half shore]

Well, as it is, most ideas get buried quickly. Its also pretty obvious that a short list of users dominate the discussion in that channel.

[keen violet]

I don't mind the idea. The only issue I see with pins is there is a limitation. So some pins would have to be unpinned for new pins to fit in as time goes on.

[half shore]

Yep, top posts might go away as new features get added. Idk, im not sure how responsive HG is to community ideas though

[toxic hare]

Only suggestions via zendesk will get noticed by HG.

[keen violet]

Another issue we currently have with screenshots, as another user brought up earlier is that it's a manual process. So tracking likes in a manual way may lead to some ideas in #nms-the-future being missed.

[half shore]

Me every week via Zendesk: "let us upgrade freighter class in some manner"
HG: "Pets, got it!"

[half shore]

Oh crap, i thought that was automated. Thats a ton of work for you guys

[keen violet]

It is.

I've automated the process as best I can on my end, but mods do have to scroll through the feed to confirm number of hearts. Hence why I ask users in friendly reminders to lets us know if a past screenshot is missed.

[keen violet]

Btw, after discussing it with MsAethena, she brought to my attention that the #nms-the-future channel's purpose seems to be misunderstood. Unfortunately, the pins idea based on reaction count would fail the channel's purpose, which is ongoing "discussion" (as opposed to voting).
Per the channel's topic:

Discuss the future of No Man Sky: what do you want to see next? What do you want fixed or changed?

[half shore]

Ah ok. Sounds like I misunderstood the purpose more than anything. For clarification, its not the pin channel description that was misleading. I was confusing the purpose based on the way discussion was happening in the channel

[keen violet]

Nw. I needed clarification myself. Also, please do remember that all ideas can still be presented to HG. There's a pinned link in #nms-the-future.

You can submit suggestions/feedback directly to Hello Games with this link: https://hellogames.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/requests/new

I guess I should've copied BlueTech with that link too. We don't want users feeling discouraged from presenting the ideas to HG. Regardless of the traction they get in #nms-the-future.

[half shore]

Yeah, i know my concern was that the zendesk isnt really being referenced for suggestions, and that HG might pay more attention to popular issues/gripes. Ill stay hopeful and stick to the zendesk for now.

[brave sun]

#deleted-channel - The first channel you see when joining; includes a list of the staff! 🤔

[reef sun]

where is this?

[brave sun]

#server-guide

[reef sun]

it directed to the test channel for welcome cuz im stupid...

[thorny prawn]

Reminder: This channel is for serious suggestions and requests for help, not memeing. You know who you are.

[toxic hare]

My suggestion is that no man's Sky should have a VR Version for the oculus quest not just for steam be support, the reason for this is that with VR support you're not able to move around freely you have to teleport and driving and riding ships are very "trippy and disorienting" And it lags occasionally but if released on the VR store with a VR version it has a lot of potential

[dawn plover]

That would be in #nms-the-future , this is suggestions for the discord

[tropic elbow]

@toxic hare Also check out this link which is where you can submit suggestions like that as well https://hellogames.zendesk.com/hc/en-us

[short pecan]

I've had an idea- a cooking role for people who are active in #no-mans-steak🥩

It'd be like the fan artist thing but not as serious

Not sure what name it would have though

[dawn plover]

I think it would be a fun idea

[keen violet]

I love the idea!

[snow echo]

Sounds fun to me too

[dawn plover]

We should have a Gordon Ramsey role too >.>

[hollow orchid]

Maybe there could be a command like !cab that could link the pangalactic star cab discord. People often come in asking to get somewhere and I always refer them there. Could be handy to be able to just use a command instead of explaining what/who they are and how to reach them

[rigid shard]

Self promotion channel with a 6 hour or so timer on it ?

[latent ermine]

A channel for wiki updates and questions? There used to be a whole Discord for it, but the mods of the server were also the wiki admins and it became too much to maintain and the Discord has....'rebranded' into a general gaming server. This would give that sort of discussion a home while also allowing the wiki admins to focus their attention on the wiki and not so much on wiki questions.

To be clear this wouldn't be so much questions about the game, since that's covered in #nms-questions . It would more so be about discussions specific to editing the wiki.

There doesn't really seem to be home for that sort of discussion in the NMS Discord ecosystem.

[toxic hare]

friend code channel, and trading channel maybe

[dawn plover]

Thats really what LFG is best for

[hollow orchid]

A channel similar to the lourve, but for #explorers-archive posts that reach a certain amount of love. For example, mimbo Jimbo's would go in.

[keen violet]

Fyi, MsAethena added the following alias commands you may now use
!starcablink
!nmscelink
!moddinglink

[hollow orchid]

thanks!

[keen violet]

Doc helped us improve the Louvre posting process, automating a large portion of it. It may not be a starboard per say, as mods still have to moderate and approve what goes in #the-louvre. But I wanted to thank you for your suggestion.

[toxic hare]

You're welcome :)

[opaque adder]

What about a channel specifically about base building methods and glitches you can use? We have nms help but base building stuff is all over the place, and I just think that a specific place where you could share designs or methods for designing something would be cool.

[toxic hare]

Won't that leave almost no use to #no-mans-sky

[reef sun]

Normally things like base design and wiring go in #nms-questions

[opaque adder]

ok

[latent ermine]

Any input on a nms-wiki channel? This would be for discussion with the admin team about updates/tools in the wiki. Currently there isn't really a home for this discussion since the rebranding of the old NMS wiki Discord

[keen violet]

I'll check with the team about this.

[reef sun]

We would encounter a similar problem as we have no real connection to the wiki currently and therefore couldn't really provide feedback or have any greater knowledge than anyone else. As far as gameplay related questions with wiki article support that would fit into #nms-questions.

[reef sun]

Timer or not we will absolutely not encourage people to join just to advertise.

[latent ermine]

Maybe I wasn't clear, by 'admin team' I didn't mean this Discord admin team, I meant the Wiki admin team. We wouldn't be going to you guys with questions, we would be going to the wiki admin team with wiki specific questions (ie. 'is there a way for me to display a cargo list of all the bases that are owned by my civilization). Since they aren't really looking to admin/mod a Discord along with the responsibility of maintaining the wiki, I thought a channel in the partnered Discord would be the best place for this discussion. Maybe even provide those who are on the wiki admin team with specific 'wiki admin' roles

[reef sun]

As I said we don't have any communication with them

[sly kettle]

Memes channel should be opened for all

No matter the level

[reef sun]

No.

[sly kettle]

Darn

I tried

[deep moss]

@sly kettle I agree with you 👌. But maybe have it allow everyone to view it, but only level 5+ to be able to add to it

[sly kettle]

No

[viscid ingot]

make a channel for NMS pet egg trading

[half shore]

The wiki admin team sometimes comment on this server but by and large they work separate of the server and even the subreddit in my experience. They are very active on the discussion boards on the wiki though.

[latent ermine]

No prob. I DM ddfairchild (the biggest contributor to the wiki) via discord and he seems to prefer DMs vs. wiki profile messages. I just figured it would benefit the community to have one dedicated place. Their Discord was that one place, but since the Discord is no longer NMS focused, that gathering spot for wiki stuff is just up in the air. Not a problem for me, I'll just continue to DM Fairchild, but it might be a pain for future wiki editors. Since the wider NMS community benefits from the wiki, figured it would make most sense to have that new home here.

[half shore]

In my experience, if a new user makes an error on the wiki, they will hear from ddfairchild anyway. Given the wiki's state in the past, I dont blame them for their approach but in any other scenario, the oversight would seem dictatorial. I know a lot of players want to contribute as well or have that single point of info but I dont know if the wiki is that place just yet. I know I use the wiki for very specific references but always assume the possibility of something being wrong.

And to rope this back to the original question, those of us in #nms-questions do use the wiki and do our best to provide up to date info on things. Pins get updated as info gets verified/fine-tuned, etc and its always at the scrutiny of the other contributors in that channel. The wiki updates are vetted by the admin team only, and (imho) not as actively as the #nms-questions channel.

[brave sun]

Even the wiki discord was never much of a "wiki discord" really, it was more people asking general NMS stuff that would have been better here (as much more active), and very little talk about the wiki itself. Somewhere to actually talk about the wiki would be good, but I'm not sure here is the best place, especially if the wiki people won't actually join in.

[rigid shard]

What if it unlocks at a certain level like the 'serious' channel

[tropic elbow]

I mean outside of the people who just drop server links out of nowhere they would normally just DM us with what they want to "advertise" and we just tell them how to properly handle it. Our current setup has been working just fine

[sly kettle]

I think #nms-photomode-gallery should be level restricted bc some one could join and spam NSFW stuff or memes

[thorny prawn]

Fortunately we have a team of first class moderators who would just instantly ban anyone who tried it

So I strongly suggest you don't try it.

[ocean gyro]

This is exactly why we have moderators.

[inner shadow]

turn #nms-questions into #nms-questions-and-begposting

wait why am I floating this publicly

...whatever

ANYWAY

discuss

[lethal panther]

It’s true

[half shore]

We usually send the begposters to main or lfg. Otherwise, they just constantly spam in help.
(same routine for those giving away stuff like void eggs, etc.)

[inner shadow]

ya know, that's a fair counterpoint

#nms-lfg-or-trades-and-begposting?

[half shore]

haha, if only there were a better term for begposting.

Though, if it reduces giveaway spam in the main channel, it could definitely be useful

#nms-lfg-or-trades-and-pet-playdates lol

[inner shadow]

nah pet-playdates is just lfg with extra letters lmao

but I just want to try and get begposting out of main

[toxic hare]

Not sure if that's the right place to ask

But I noticed the new commands that return invites to NMS-related servers do not work in the LFG channel

Tried to use the 'starcablink' there, I even copied it from the pins in help

[thorny prawn]

I think we can probably fix that

[brave sun]

Wouldn't it be better to get it out of the server entirely?

[thorny prawn]

Gunter? Gunter's a good boy

Or girl, I haven't checked

[brave sun]

Uh no, I meant the begposting from earlier.

[thorny prawn]

Oh sorry, getting threads mixed up

I miss utilibot

--suggest

😦

[thorny prawn]

should be fixed @toxic hare

[toxic hare]

Not really a server suggestion per se, more like an idea

Would it be possible to create a bot that takes images from the louvre and posts it online, lets say on Twitter?

Seeing how Sean often retweets images from reddit or other sources

We could promote the work of people here further

[quick compass]

@toxic hare good idea 🙂

[inner shadow]

@toxic hare nah that idea would never work 😉

[toxic hare]

I have the strange feeling one of you folks is trying to bamboozle me

[inner shadow]

#server-announcements might have your answer

[toxic hare]

And #memes🤡 might have my reaction to it

[shy hedge]

yep do it or no cookies

[reef sun]

1. You can't nominate yourself.
2. Building off 1 this is for serious suggestions not being silly, do that somewhere else.

[tender creek]

Pet/egg trade channel

[hollow orchid]

since i do have an actual suggestion, can i nominate Koga, as they are always in the help channel, and always helping

[hollow orchid]

tbh i dont think it would be used enough

[tender creek]

Understandable but would be nice for it to just be there for the ones to use it if they choose and neat to see the awesome pets people have made

[deep crater]

Dear developers could you add some kind of editable sign? I want to write "Garage" where I have my Exocrafts

[pallid bear]

Mods - can we get a #NMS-Trading channel please? Trade requests don't really belong in "LFG" and I got abuse from another member for asking in "Help"

[dawn plover]

I think this is a good idea and will talk to the rest of the team about it. Also if a server user is being abusive let us know

And we will respond appropriately

[reef sun]

@deep crater This is for server suggestions. To suggest game ideas send it to HG via: https://hellogames.zendesk.com/hc/en-us

On the topic of a specific trade channel it has a number of issues I'd like to address. Firstly, it would likely already have the reputation of being a "beg" channel from what I've been seeing, which would lead to it being ignored. Because it would be ignored people would be more apt to send these messages next in #no-mans-sky, #nms-questions anyway. The appropriate multiple use channel for this is ultimately #nms-lfg-or-trades as trading items requires joining each others' instances anyway. #nms-questions is usable as it is a request for help in terms of No Man's Sky, however that does not encourage using that channel for repeated request for stuff. If there are questions in the future about appropriate channels ask a member of staff and go by what they say, not what other users say. If they are being aggressive or abusive that is a violation of Rule #1. @pallid bear I hope this clarifies a few things.

[pallid bear]

I can understand the concern about begging, but multiple users have agreed the server needs a trade channel, if the trade requests (And maybe heavy moderation of begging requests) are encouraged to go into #nms-lfg-or-trades, then presumably it would be an appropriate action to update the description of that channel?

As it stands right now, with some users sticking to the channel descriptors as rules, there is no real place for trade. This is if following rules as written.

It would be kinder to the community and to newcomers to know where to go.

[reef sun]

People do not follow rules as written; the #explorers-archive channel suffers from non discovery posts constantly since creation despite both the description and 2 pinned messages specifically calling out "do not chat here".

[pallid bear]

That's unfortunate, but it's not really a reason not to have something pointing users in the right direction.

Moving forward I will use the lfg channel for trade requests, and I see you have said in essence that I wasn't wrong to use help, but would be better off there.

But you might have the same questions arise again in as little as a few week's time. It seems like the games popularity is rising again and capturing more new users, myself included.

[reef sun]

That's why staff are available to answer questions.

[pallid bear]

Why put that on them though, when it could be as simple as adding "and organising trading activity" to the description for LFG? It would head off more questions than it would raise.

[reef sun]

Adding the trade channel adds more to their plate between discussing why they have to only post it there and not elsewhere "but it gets ignored in trade channel", to filtering all trade requests to that channel as they already have to filter ppl to #off-topic-bond-james-bond or #nms-questions or #nms-lfg-or-trades or #nms-spoilers.

[pallid bear]

So put simply, you don't see the value in helping people to help themselves.

Fair enough. It's your server and your rules, I won't question it further.

[toxic hare]

No, I think the point is: it's gonna be a mess regardless if there's a dedicated channel or not

We all expect people to follow the rules / guidelines for the channels they are in

They do not

[inner shadow]

Here, I have a functional fix to the trade requests idea.

#nms-classifieds.

Rename #nms-lfg-or-trades into #nms-classifieds, set the slow mode in that channel to 20 minutes to mitigate spamming what you're looking for, and let users sort out what they're looking for via responses in their DMs.

[reef sun]

That's doable cuz its just a rename and #nms-lfg-or-trades is where it belongs

[vagrant nexus]

a channel where Pet owners can discuss and or get help with altering eggs as folk are asking questions in the help channel and most go unanswered as not everyone is in to growing/altering pets

[native fractal]

a channel for those who want to share their seeds

[serene lark]

--suggest

Bring lfg Xbox, lfg PlayStation, and lfg pc back, make them role locked to the roles for the game systems. Then rename #nms-lfg-or-trades to lfg-crossplay

On console when playing with pc you need to use discord voice chat on a different device, which means you won’t be able to hear game audio

But with lfg crossplay people can still use lfg to play with other systems

[half shore]

I kind of wish there was an experimentation channel dedicated to figuring out obscure game mechanics like egg sequencing, byte beat, space encounter theorizing, etc

[inner shadow]

#nms-spoilers allows data mining conversations, assuming that was your intent.

Otherwise #nms-the-future or main chat would fit those topics well

[hollow orchid]

Here is my own take on the classic: instead of a trading channel like #nms-trading, we could have a channel more like #nms-economy. This could be used for money-making advice, trading, farm building, gifting, etc. People could go in and ask the how to make money early game, and people would give answers. basically, just a channel for all things units. (and maybe nanites).

this could also include some minor addons/connections to #nms-lfg-or-trades , since there would be quite a bit of joining games. either for trading, direct gifting, or advice/directions on farms.

[hollow orchid]

also, can we have a command for the nmsce reddit (and maybe just the normal reddit too).

[reef sun]

Trading added supplementary to lfg as #nms-lfg-or-trades and a temporary pets focused #nms-fauna added. This will also be used to gauge the usefulness of future single theme channels.

[serene sun]

--suggest

reorder the nms channels as the following for better navigation: #no-mans-sky , #nms-questions , #nms-lfg-or-trades , #nms-fauna , #nms-the-future , #nms-spoilers , #nms-modding, #forever-archived-legacy

[hollow orchid]

could we have some sort of build channel? somewhere to ask for advice, share builds, look for good spots etc

it might not be a super busy channel, but i think it could be nice

it could also include build guides for building specific houses/structures as well as glitch building guides. this could also include everything farms (both types) etc

basically anything in the build menu

[reef sun]

#nms-questions fulfills this as it has pinned messages dealing with some switch setups and people can answer questions about building. Not every NMS subject needs its own channel.

[fringe wind]

Suggestion: Change Xbox Role color to green, PS4 to blue and PC to red.

[thorny prawn]

The platform and game mode roles sit right at the bottom of the stack - within a day they’re overwritten by an xp driven role, so there’s no real point in assigning them a colour

Everyone would just choose red or green anyway so they look like mods/admins

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[inner shadow]

Lol

So I've had an idea and want to float it publicly.

Despite my desire to avoid adding more text channels when we already have so many for a wide array of discussion, there's been a recent influx of users forming communities within NMS, and requesting permission to post links for their community's server/subreddit, which presently (barring exceptions made by staff) violates the No Self Advertisement rule.

I'd like to propose a measure that would alleviate that stress, both on staff, as well as those communities that wish to make themselves known:

#space-station-bulletin (working title)

Set the slow mode in that channel to 6 hours to prevent spam and encourage interaction with other parts of the server outside of community promotion, and put a suggestion for posts to include their server invite, a description of their community, and what kind of travelers they're seeking. I believe this implementation would benefit the server without seeming overly intrusive.

Addendum: we'd also make this channel an exception to Gunter's present invite link auto-delete function

[rigid shard]

and set a minimum level to something so random, new users don't just drop in to post their link

you being the admin may get a better response but it does seem very anti-self promotion/advertising here

[dawn plover]

I say if we do do this, make it minimum level 10, if not 15. And possibly limit it to max 3 posts for the same invite a week. Despite the slowmode. So that way we dont have a bunch of the same invite in a row potentially.

[inner shadow]

I think Level 5 would still be fine, as that's the minimum for other channels; why would you like 10-15 Nat? c:

Since Discord's core integration of slow mode tops out at 6h, I think we'd have to implement a bot functionality (likely on Utilibot's end) to crank it higher than that, but if we could get it to 24h I think that'd be fine. And it'd even kind of mimic a bulletin board since groups typically post new flyers on a daily/weekly basis

[keen violet]

serious requires level 10 btw

[inner shadow]

Oh

Huh

[dawn plover]

Thats why

[inner shadow]

Am dumb

Thought it was 5 lol

[dawn plover]

and its easy to get to 5, and people may do it just to spam links here

[inner shadow]

Hmm. Then 10 should be fine c:

[keen violet]

and i do agree on bot integration for added limits. maybe we can run idea by Doc when he's on...?

[dawn plover]

well we can just exclude the channel from the list of ones for the deletion of links

[inner shadow]

I think Utilibot already has a by-channel slow mode setting, and Doc last I asked was still trying to debug

And I don't believe Gunter sees newly created channels (although the last time I checked that was a while ago)

[keen violet]

correct. never mind Gunter for now.

[dawn plover]

I don't think its a bad idea tbh, but of course same rules apply. And there needs to be a set format for the invitation of links. Also need to warn users if any 18+ channels are present in said servers

[inner shadow]

Cc @thorny prawn if you'd like to copy that post body requirement bit in here, that'd be awesome <3 have to go grab my next delivery but I'll be back here when I'm parked again

[thorny prawn]

"Posts must include an image or a URL - anything else gets autodeleted"

[dawn plover]

Im thinking something like this tbh:

Server name:
Invite link:
Does the server contain 18+ channels:
Server image/url(for display purposes):
Description of the server(relevant information here like type of server and stuff):

[rigid shard]

Description:

[keen violet]

What if it's not a Discord server though. YT or Twitch stream as examples. Or for artists or content creators, there can be other types of links like blogs, etc...?

[dawn plover]

I would think a slight modification of what I posted would work as a universal format. Of course there may be better ideas so feel free to suggest 🙂

[quick compass]

discord's built-in link previews do a pretty good job of summarising a post without it necessarily being in a strict format

[keen violet]

i concur about most urls having helpful embeds. but i've also seen some urls having no embeds, or not super clear ones.

[thorny prawn]

I suggest requiring an embed not for consistency, but to raise the amount of effort needed to post - i.e. they have something already in place, to avoid they 'hay guys dm me if u wanna make a guild' level of posts

if they're serious about it, they'll have a subreddit, or a discord, or something

reduces moderation effort too

[keen violet]

i concur.

[inner shadow]

Compromise: we limit it to communities as a test run, and open it up to YT links and such after reviewing reception

[half shore]

Couldn't self-promoters get around the slow restriction by just linking the original invite post?
I have no opinions of self-promotion but that seems maybe like a workaround (unless allowed, i guess)

[dawn plover]

Well thats why we have a mod team, if people would start doing that, get muted/warned

[simple marlin]

whilst i’m not particularly active here i do believe this is a great suggestion and would greatly benefit users, opening up more possibilities of becoming a central community hub

[inner shadow]

Current qualms (and my reasoning for iceboxing the idea) is that we can't reliably moderate the communities being linked to, tbh

[simple marlin]

i sorta understand what you mean but surely the channel could be somewhat moderated in a sense that all submissions should go through a moderator first. what i mean by this, is to get permission to post in there you must send your submission via a mod through dm first?

[snow echo]

The issue is more, in order to make sure every linked community was completely up to the rules, a moderator or admin would need to actively join each one that permission was asked for. Even then, we couldn't ensure that bad chamnels or chats weren't hidden or cleaned up. Inevitably something would get through, since there's no sure way to clear every community. It would be halfway based on trust, and in my experience, trust isn't that reliable on the internet. The idea was discussed and it most likely will not be an implemented suggestion

[simple marlin]

👍

[half orbit]

yknow... im not sure gunter is checking #no-mans-art correctly

either that or like, there's a set timeout

hey @reef sun sorry for the ping but, is this intentional? figure you might know

[reef sun]

what do you mean checking?

if you mean 10 hearts; Gunter has been made quite smart about hearts

three people used both the yellow and blue, and therefore it only counts as 1 each

[half orbit]

ahhh 🤔 i figured it was 5 in the art channel, it's 10 then

right, makes sense

thank you :]

[viscid ingot]

a NMS channel to show off outfits

[simple marlin]

please forgive me if this is not allowed as im in no way shape or form a mod, but why are all the other channels not enough?

if i was to post an outfit i would do it in screenshots and direct people to look there

[viscid ingot]

in screenshots it kinda gets lost

[snow echo]

Highly specific channels like an outfit channel would hardly be used, and there's really no reason for one as we have #nms-photomode-gallery
You can even post outfits in #no-mans-sky. Especially if you want feedback on it

[keen violet]

you can also post it in #no-mans-sky. People show off different things there, including outfits and ships.

[hollow orchid]

move #nmegg-hall-of-fame . i feel like that area should just be for art-n-stuff.

[thorny prawn]

The list of community members who're awesome sounds like a good fit for the community section to me - where would you move it to?

[hollow orchid]

more that i think that section should just become the art section. i think that lis could go to information.

[reef sun]

There's only one art channel in there; and its listed as community.

[hollow orchid]

by art, i mean a more broad idea covering screenshots, the lourve, and october's sky

not just drawing

[reef sun]

#explorers-archive is neither of those either; channel will stay where it is

[hollow orchid]

oh

i didnt even notice explorers lol

mb

[simple marlin]

ik this is a really dumb suggestion but im hoping it will get noticed by the people who were around during that time: sometime in the coming days / weeks, would it be possible to schedule some sort of “reminiscence” event in #off-topic-bond-james-bond. i really just wanna reconnect with some of the older people from WT season 1 and a few years ago and was wondering if anyone else felt the same. just to look back at better times haha

idk how it would go ahead, but maybe a particular topic for that channel for a couple of hours maybe.

[hoary owl]

Seconded, but with the title of “Remembrance” in reference to the Atlas Path

[hollow orchid]

idk if this matter much, but i have a small change to recommend: changing the banner from origins to companions

unless you want to do only the big updats

updates

[thorny prawn]

Generally it's the big updates. The smaller ones don't come with much in the way of promotional art - though if anyone wants to produce new artwork for the server for a smaller update, it'll always be considered (probably best to run your idea past us though before you commit hours to working on it - we're a partnered server, so gotta make sure it looks the part).

[ruby night]

Bring back the memes channel to everyone. But without the ability to send messages in the channel.

[reef sun]

No.

[shut mist]

there are plenty of servers with memes, there are twitter accounts dedicated for memes, there are entire subreddits dedicated to memes, you have plenty of places to find memes

[reef sun]

This is a No Man's Sky server; I have no motivation to make it "easier" to engage in things that aren't related to that. Its extremely easy to reach level 5 if you contribute to the server. If you are just here for update news you also don't need access to #memes🤡.

[hollow orchid]

Disclaimer: I was not around during October's Sky, so I may be wrong in some/many of my statements.

Octobers sky was a screenshot(/art?) competition, with some prizes. I think it could be quite cool. If we had 1 competition per season, it could add a bit more depth. I think a competition for finding the best ship/planet, like a best-of #explorers-archive . We could also have one competition for builds/farms/anything base-related. Im not sure what would fit well into the last slot (if it gets filled at all). it could be something along the lines of best looking suit, or best looking fleet of ships/exocraft, best inventory, etc.

I don't know what the rewards are above the roles (if there are any), but I think that if this idea came into play, the rewards should probably be spread out across the 3/4 competitions, so those who are not talented at one of the skills still can win things.

[reef sun]

Its a lot to organize but the only prizes for October's Sky were features for a year and the role, though I may make the channel permanent and just add to it. Yes, October's Sky will take place this year again, at the very least. I would need to brainstorm for something Spring/Summer.

[hollow orchid]

would the thing for summer be a similar competition? but just with a different... criteria?

like building

[reef sun]

That would be why I'm brainstorming lol

[hollow orchid]

your just jealous of my enguinity

which is why you arent following my ideas

:smart:

oh

thats not an emoji

[reef sun]

I'm literally saying I'm thinking of what to do lmao

Which means I'm accepting the idea

[simple marlin]

ik this is a really dumb suggestion but im hoping it will get noticed by the people who were around during that time: sometime in the coming days / weeks, would it be possible to schedule some sort of “reminiscence” event in #off-topic-bond-james-bond. i really just wanna reconnect with some of the older people from WT season 1 and a few years ago and was wondering if anyone else felt the same. just to look back at better times haha

ik this is still a vague suggestion but has there been any thought behind it? @hoary owl idea after it is good to

could be on the anniversary of atlas rises or something u kno

also i didnt see @shut mist name on the list of discord mods in #welcome

[keen violet]

@inner shadow Any thoughts on suggestion re: WT reunion / "reminisce" / anniversary event above? Asking you since I'm not sure who was involved in that. I don't mind assisting but I'm too new to even know what WT was

[inner shadow]

Honestly, my opinion is mixed.

On the one hand, it could be good to have some kind of get together and reminisce about WT.

On the other, I know quite a few of the more active WTers have left the server, which sucks but that's life for ya.

Logistically, it could be feasible to make a "WT channel takeover" of #off-topic or maybe pull wtarg out of the Archive, make WT Participant pingable by staff for that duration, to facilitate it, but I also want to avoid unintentionally hyping the community about an event long since passed x.x

[keen violet]

@simple marlin

[thorny prawn]

72 hour hamster live stream, for old times sake

[inner shadow]

lmao

[simple marlin]

yeah i understand, thanks for replying tho!

[flint cave]

,suggestion,

since we have a LFT and a trader role. why not mix the 2 together to tag people willing to trade?

[thorny prawn]

Can you explain a bit more? It's not possible for regular users to search for people with a given role, so the only way to discover them would be if they posted in #nms-lfg-or-trades anyway, so I'm not sure what you mean by tagging users.

[tropic elbow]

It would basically be the equivalent of one of us tagging the game night attendee role to set up game night

[thorny prawn]

Ah, I understand

[thorny prawn]

As far as making roles pingable/taggable by regular users, that's a no - the server is too large (45,000 members!), and people get too bent out of shape when pings are sent to the existing self-assignable roles, even by staff.

[static vapor]

hello, I would like to suggest a channel for content creators to post content about No Man's Sky 🙂

[reef sun]

There was previously a content producer channel which mostly went unused and took up space. Beyond that people don't tend to focus only No Man's Sky, and it was just a sort of way around Rule 3 while also making it somewhat unfair.

[inner shadow]

thanks for the clarification MsA, was drawing a blank on what happened to that channel

[toxic hare]

I have a suggestion add a update log to this server

[half shore]

If you mean game updates, check #nms-announcements

[hollow orchid]

Could be a nice/small change to move #nms-reddit-feed to the No Man's Sky Community tab. it is imformative, but i would say it would fit better in that tab.

[hollow orchid]

Another suggestion: we can have a role (such as "news-lover" that gets pinged whenever there is an update. just like gamenight.

[dawn plover]

Hmm thats not bad tbh

[hollow orchid]

What kind praise

;)

It would also help protect the discord from first spawn news gek

[inner shadow]

It really wouldn't, that person checks damn near hourly lol

But the #nms-reddit-feed idea is nice

[inner shadow]

idiot idea of the day:

temporarily rename #nms-the-future to whatever emoji Sean tweets cryptically and encourage discussion of what the update might be in that channel

[reef sun]

Sounds fine to me

[dusky sinew]

Could there be a pin in #nms-the-future that says it will change its name based on the latest hints? Right now it seems like it could be a little confusing for anyone who doesn’t look at Sean’s tweets.

[earnest owl]

Channel to post pet pictures

[dawn plover]

thats what #other-games and #off-topic-bond-james-bond is for really

[keen violet]

and for nms pets there's #nms-fauna ofc

[dawn plover]

True true, I was thinking irl pets lol

[clever bay]

Can we get an update where you can have more freighters like more large ships

[brave sun]

To suggest changes for this server. For game suggestions and bug reports, go here: https://hellogames.zendesk.com/hc/en-us . NOT FOR SUGGESTING OTHER SERVERS

[hollow orchid]

Could be cool to have a whole section of channels called "media" or something similar. It could have reddit feed, an archive of all tweets from all devs, and maybe some links to nmsce

[hollow orchid]

Another thing: according to the pins in #no-mans-art , it takes 10 hearts to get art into the lourve. However, it only takes 5 to get a screenshot into the lourve. Imo, those should be equal, if not swapped. This could just be a typo in the pins, but I figured I would say it anyway

[reef sun]

Its not a typo its just a higher standard for art since it gets posted less frequently and the original intention of #the-louvre was to showcase screenshots of No Man's Sky.

[peak tusk]

Could be cool to have a "Pioneer" role, exclusive for people who completed the first ever Expedition in NMS history.

It's pretty much certain more and more people will be buying the game after this Expedition ends, so a unique identifier for people who were here when Expeditions dropped and completed Pioneers could be neat

[hollow orchid]

That would be cool, but I think nearly everyone will finish it, and it would be hard for mods to verify that they did it. I would love for someone to correct me.

[keen violet]

yeah, i like the idea. but i'm also not sure how we'd be able to verify who completed it. i'll run it by the team though.

[reef sun]

in-game screenshot that has your game name with either the completed quest or some way of showing you've unlocked the golden vector would be fine; it'd just be a vanity role and very little reason to try to fake it

[astral cedar]

Maybe age roles?

[flint cave]

age? oh yes anti squeeker roles. i can understand that.

[hollow orchid]

if someone wants to do that they can just put [69 years old] in their name

[spice crypt]

Show license/id, everything but birthdate blurred

I'm gonna win, just fyi

[hollow orchid]

How TF do you win an age role

[spice crypt]

By being the oldest member (it's in my mind hush)

[hollow orchid]

Well I'm 400

Gg ez

[keen violet]

wow, you feel really sure you're the oldest member? lol you willing to make a bet?

[spice crypt]

Hmmm, terms?

[keen violet]

you feeling that confident, huh? lol

[spice crypt]

I'm pretty confident yeah

[hollow orchid]

Overage gambling

[hollow orchid]

You know there are some grandparents here right?

[spice crypt]

Lol

I do in fact

[hollow orchid]

How old are you?

[winged marsh]

Would be cool

[formal gulch]

Would i be allowed to advertise a pet show in game here?

[hollow orchid]

probably, if you aren't to annoying. but tbh, knowing this community, very few people would actually join. However, a mod might correct me on this

also, wrong place

[formal gulch]

what would be the appropriate channel

i mean with a prize fund including billions of units and void eggs and 10s of thousands of nanites i hope some ppl would join

[keen violet]

i'm running your request by the team, who may get back to you here or via dm.

my recommendation in the meantime is to make a post about it in #nms-lfg-or-trades (as a looking for group post). our #server-rules still apply regarding unapproved self-promotion links, especially to Discord servers (which are auto-deleted by our bots). the channel's pins include some guidelines (eg. specify game mode). ask users to dm you for details if interested. per rules and pins, please refrain from spam, and avoid unsolicited dms.

[formal gulch]

alrigh

[brave sun]

Split @stiff grove's stuff so I can see the image command results while keeping the slotspam blocked.

[reef sun]

I see no reason to separate types of spam. There's a reason its all directed to that channel in the first place.

[brave sun]

I meant more a separate bot rather than a separate channel

[keen violet]

We can't do that unfortunately.

[tall schooner]

Make a looking for group role
Like a looking for new save role
Looking for help

[thorny prawn]

This comes up as a suggestion occasionally, but no one has any ideas on how to make it actually work - as roles can't be searched

[brave sun]

I'm guessing they meant as a way to ping these people, so searching wouldn't be needed?

[keen violet]

well, to add to that, users have proven to highly dislike server-wide pings.

[brave sun]

If they were opt-in roles people had opted into to get pinged about certain things, I'd hope they wouldn't be unhappy about actually getting pinged about those things...

[thorny prawn]

If you make roles widely pingable then no one ends up assigning them

[brave sun]

But there would still be the risk of people pinging them without a good reason... yeah

[thorny prawn]

We even get people complaining about game night

[tall schooner]

Could u make a lfg role just for that

Like just search up lfg

[thorny prawn]

Roles can't be searched - it's a limitation of the discord client. Not even moderators/admins can go and look at the list of users with any given role - so there's just no way for a just to go and find people who are lfg.

[brave sun]

(Admins can, go to the members tab and there's a dropdown to choose a role to look at)

But one way to make it work for regular users would be to make a channel that only that role can see... then only people with that role would be shown in the member list for that channel.

[keen violet]

There are always technical "solutions" that sound ideal on paper, but once executed can become a bigger problem as opposed to resolving existing issues/concerns/annoyances by specific types of NMSCord members (eg. lfg'ers vs self promoters and unsolicited dms). Therefore, as moderators we must take into account variables that aren't as clear to all members. But we certainly welcome suggestions that benefit the community. And will continue to evaluate all the variables surrounding NMSCord LFG.

[hollow orchid]

On channels like #nms-questions , it could be cool to have an index of pins instead of a list. there could be one or two pins that are formatted like this:

How to farm nanites: [link to post]

How to get money as a beginner: [link to post]

etc. This would help with scrolling through all the posts, which is mildly annoying. This would also help the people who help often, because they could just open the pins and copy the link instantly, without the pain of scrolling to it, jumping to the post, waiting it to load, etc. Not really a necessary/important change, but it would tidy things up a bit and improve quality of life a tad.

[keen violet]

We're working on it. Waiting for some upcoming features that will help. Thank you for the feedback.

[hollow orchid]

so what your saying is that your in contact with the discord staff

tell them to give me dev role

pwease

is that a yes

[keen violet]

I'm not in contact with Discord staff. I never suggested that.

[hollow orchid]

"waiting for some upcoming features"

or maybe...

you aren't ni contact with discord staf... because you are discord staf!!

conspiracy theory time

[autumn dust]

more plants

[keen violet]

that's probably meant for #nms-the-future

[hollow orchid]

what upcoming features? im interested

[hollow orchid]

clears throat

#no-mans-sky message

🙏

unclears throat

[keen violet]

Based on past discussions, I wouldn't hold my breath on a pingable role. But I did pass the suggestion along as part of the other requests revolving the quest.

[hollow orchid]

begins holding breath

Ping me when I can breath again

[reef sun]

@hollow orchid @wicked sapphire .iam Questling but you don't get a choice in the name haha

[hollow orchid]

I'm still waiting

[hollow orchid]

NMT roll for No Man's (nice) Trolls. For us amazing and special people in the community who enjoy a bit of fun

AKA a role just for me and mumbo jumbo

[dawn plover]

350$ and it's a deal

[hollow orchid]

Um

Sure

What's your nms friend code

And can I pay on ferrite dust equal to that much

In

[dawn plover]

I'll send you my venmo info!

[hollow orchid]

Venmo = vno emans nsky money exchange

[dawn plover]

But for real, I'm not sure if Aethena,Fluffy or Barky would go for a custom role lol

[reef sun]

No we are not going to implement a role that glorifies trolling.

[dawn plover]

There, admin answered 😛

[ornate shuttle]

well - I'd argue that's not entirely true - re-read what it says on "Pirate"

specifically the "players" part

[keen violet]

being an in-game pirate does not equate to an NMSCord "troll".

@summer ridge I checked pinned messages, what did I do wrong?

[reef sun]

@torn socket Didn't realize that was still here. An update broke functionality for the suggest command so now suggestions simple go here in the channel.

[torn socket]

Well, guess I'm making my suggestion regularly then:

Could we do a contest on this server? The goal is to create the most convincing concept for a NMS update. People can do writing, create images, even concept art if they're really committed.

Your submissions can be DM'd to mods, they post your entry in a special showcase channel. The entry with the most reactions wins.

Of course we could do multiple categories, such as:

• small updates (QOL improvements, bugfixes, minor features)
• meme updates
• large overhaul updates

Aren't we in May?

[hollow orchid]

Don't question it

Wrong channel @quasi dust

[quasi dust]

oh my bad i got mixed up, shoulda used botspam

[neon sleet]

Don't know how many more expedition roles are planned, but maybe a channel to leave screenshots for mods to work through in their own time, it feels super awkward pinging people for something so unimportant

[broken agate]

Maybe a text channel for people who need lifts or need to get somewhere and need higher level players to get them there

As recently I almost finished my living ship but didn't have all the glyphs so had to go through the whole story

[thorny prawn]

Don't worry about it - we don't mind being pinged, but you can also just DM one of us - we all have open DMs

[thorny prawn]

Best place for that is #nms-lfg-or-trades You can also try the star cabs discord

[jade mirage]

Off the wall Idea, but maybe we can get the wonderful info compiled in modding and help merged with the stuff in the wiki that is out of date

[hollow orchid]

Well, if your gonna do that, make a planet related one

[spice crypt]

Who determines what is artistic, very arbitrary Edit: added examples, nice

[half shore]

Beachhead vanity role for the server?

[thorny prawn]

Distinctly maybe.

[spice crypt]

But then how many expeditions are there going to be? What if 10 more come? 10 more vanity roles?

[keen violet]

Yeah, also to clarify... The original suggestion pertaining the Pioneer role was as follows:

Could be cool to have a "Pioneer" role, exclusive for people who completed the first ever Expedition in NMS history.
It's pretty much certain more and more people will be buying the game after this Expedition ends, so a unique identifier for people who were here when Expeditions dropped and completed Pioneers could be neat
<#discord-server-feedback message>

I feel that if there were to be roles for every expedition after Pioneer, the original idea of "exclusivity" is kinda lost.

[half shore]

Ah yeah, thats fair actually. Maybe something consider after more Expeditions happen, like a summary role

Oh btw, has there been any thought to have Gunter periodically remind in channels to submit bug reports during the first few days of this update?

[keen violet]

I like that idea lots. Was gonna put something together for Expeditions (countdown and where to get help). Will make sure to add this added note. Ty!

[half shore]

Oh right, we were talking about a new expedition faq pin. Im going to start working on one later today

[keen violet]

Re: summary role...it may get a little trickier if we were to not announce it before this one ends. As we've been using the Expedition final phase completion screenie as proof. So would we require a screenie per expie? It'd be nice if HG provided a summary page in the future. It'd make that a lot easier. Perhaps a neat idea to present to HG.

[keen violet]

I'll follow up about this via dm.

[half shore]

Yeah, i was thinking like a "participated in Expeditions" type role. Idk, havent put a lot of thought into it

[hollow orchid]

There's kinda a version of that but more exclusive

October's sky

[late mauve]

@keen violet Maybe more like something a bit less exclusive for when the expeditions end, something like "Expedition Finisher" or something like that?

referring to above conversation

more or less like a general role

def keep the Pioneer role as something exclusive though - I think people who completed it have earned that one

[late mauve]

I've... realized that someone said almost exactly that earlier

[polar haven]

Food channel. We have an Fauna channel, give us our traveller kitchen. 🤲🥧

[hollow orchid]

#no-mans-steak🥩

[reef sun]

As far as an entire channel dedicated to cooking in the game; I doubt it would justify itself with activity as most people don't seem to cook.

Artistry/screenshot artistry roles aren't something I personally want to implement, nor am I in support of separate channels for it as regardless of "reasons" why one screenshot is art compared to another still comes down to subjectivity. It would lead to arguments and elitism that I'm not in favor of.

[polar jolt]

true

only person who ive seen post in game food is gleam

[hollow orchid]

And ron

[lilac glen]

There seem to be a few people up in arms regarding "spoilers" in the new expedition. People also tend to be asking the same questions and complaining about the same bugs every 5 minutes. I think it would be very helpful if we had a dedicated expeditions thread where all expeditions related discussions must go through. It would help solve both the spoiler and the spam issues IMO.

Just a general catch all of anything and everything related to expeditions, specifically.

[serene epoch]

is it possible to get ahold of one of the Discord Admins here? They haven't been doing the messages in #nms-announcements properly as they don't get sent out to the servers when someone follows that channel... you have to click publish after each message sent in that channel for it to work. I'd rather not ping them or DM them and bother them but it would help a lot of people get messages sent to their own servers for quality of life reasons.

[keen violet]

Thanks for the heads up. Issue addressed.

[serene epoch]

Boom it worked! Thanks! 😊

[wicked sapphire]

Just an idea; maybe people like it

In several other servers they have a stage channel where occasionally members of the mod team and other community members come together and discuss the game and/or just general topics. I think it'd be cool to have something similar so we can interact and get to know each other better.
I know we already have voice channels but a stage channel would be very cool because we could have actual and more 'official' organized talks every now and then (example, every saturday or every X timeperiod) gets pinned at the top of the server, and therefore more people notice and might join in. (and not to forget; they have a whole new vibe to them)
Personally, i would LOVE something like this, but i'm not the only one here, so feel free to let me know what you all think of this 🙂

[rigid shard]

Kind of like a podcast

[fallen scroll]

Yes but live

[dawn plover]

I like the idea myself

[wicked sapphire]

yeah, exactly. like a podcast. and we can have several well known community members lead the conversation and occasionally have people from the audience join in

[half shore]

Its combined because theres crossplay now, and they recently added in trading

[dawn plover]

^^^^ And because the channel activity was sporadic iirc

[wicked sapphire]

?

ah nevermind

i assume the person who you were replying to deleted the message?

[wicked sapphire]

i know the admin team is very busy with all sorts of things, but can we maybe get a follow up to this? ( just a heads up so it doesn't get lost in the chat history. ✌️ )

[hollow orchid]

Ping someone you silly goose

[dawn plover]

@inner shadow what do you think? I dont mind hosting like a talk show/podcast

[hollow orchid]

He better shrug at you

Or I will be disappointed

[inner shadow]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

it's an idea

[hollow orchid]

Most things in this channel are

[wicked sapphire]

same. would love to host/participate in stuff like that together with some others.

maybe a channel dedicated to the stage channel would be cool to, so people can join in via text

but of course the people hosting it (probably well known community members and/or mods) can occasionally invite people from the audience to join in for a bit

[azure wadi]

How bout an expedition channel.

[hollow orchid]

Most people are done the expedition within a few days even during the month long ones. What would go in it after those initial release days?
