nms-spoilers

[lofty breach]

you cant

you have to get lucky as far as im aware

mine is on a super hot planet

[onyx crow]

Ah ok. I cant just finish the mission and build a city where ever then?

[lofty breach]

nope i dont think

[normal matrix]

Tbh i kinda like that, it means youve gotta go find a ultra rare planet thats also a paradise and with a settlement

[sand karma]

If you are progressed far enough beyond the tutorial it should just pop up and direct you to a planet

[vague oriole]

My internet is so slow i still haven't downloaded it

It's 5 gb through

Out of the 8

[normal matrix]

How is this game also VR

[vague oriole]

(because consoles get bigger updates for some reason grrrrrrr)

[sand karma]

Magic

[vague oriole]

Because sean is epic

[normal matrix]

its kind of amazing

[sand karma]

Imma so walk around in my settlement in VR

[fallen warren]

naah, you gotta go find a settlement on a planet you like, and take it over

[scarlet pine]

but every trading outpost is procedural right?

[onyx crow]

Riiiight ok ty

[vague oriole]

I have never played in vr

[normal matrix]

Does anyone else here have just a jumble of emotions for this update??

[vague oriole]

I will buy the psvr2 when it comes out tho

[sand karma]

Yep every building in every settlement

[vague oriole]

I will prolly buy the psvr2 just for nms tho

[scarlet pine]

what about the old buildings? are they gone or replaced with procedurally generated stuff?

[sand karma]

Old buildings are untouched

[mighty rampart]

Old buildings exist

[lofty breach]

first crash of today

[normal matrix]

It is a reason to buy it, Especially now

[scarlet pine]

damn thats kinda sad

[vague oriole]

Not the original one, they are making a psvr for the ps5

[sand karma]

They did specifically say that they are excited about the opportunities this tech gives them going forward. One step at a time. 😛

[mighty rampart]

Eh I like the old ones still sticking around their aesthetic is nice too

[normal matrix]

I know what you meant, I was talking about just getting any VR set up for NMS

[scarlet pine]

yeah but one really annoying thing was how every trading post on a planet looked the same, and I was hoping that would be changed

[normal matrix]

Controlling your ship takes a little bit to get used to, But what made it more enjoyable was being in my structures in VR

[jovial violet]

question to people who've played this more than me: are settlements you do not control have anything going on in them, or are they simply cosmetic unless you take it over and turn it into a money farm?

i think this will make or break it for me, whether npc settlements other than the one you own do anything at all

[vague oriole]

I've heard it's very good in vr

[sand karma]

At least they have NPCs walking around with thoughts, stats etc. and quests can send you there. Not sure how in-depth it is when nobody is in control though.

[normal matrix]

It seams like this is a entirely new part of the game now

[scarlet pine]

seans

[normal matrix]

Im sorry i mean it sheans

[wispy kettle]

U can now use charts in ur ship without it bugging out

[normal matrix]

Settlements start off small and modest, with a sparse population and only a few buildings scattered around their town centre. Choose what to build and provide resources to construct new buildings and transform this ramshackle collection of dwellings into a flourishing town!

[jovial violet]

fair. i'm sad at the thought that these settlements simply look cool, and have something going on when the player is the overseer, but otherwise have less going on when we don't own them

[mighty rampart]

You will need to farm salvage data to unlock the new base parts

[jovial violet]

yeah, i understand. but that's when the player takes control. what if i stumble upon one? are they less interesting than archives without my involvement?

[scarlet pine]

that doesn't answer the question

[mighty rampart]

Corner table is back!

[sand karma]

To be fair I've not visited a settlement that I don't own and I've not gone that deep, so they might well have some stuff going on (or will in the future)

[jovial violet]

i guess i'm going settlement hunting to find out!

[sand karma]

Like maybe they get attacked by sentinels if you don't own them too? Not sure yet. 😄

[jovial violet]

wonder if planetary charts can find 'em

[mighty rampart]

there's 3 new pages of decorative parts

[normal matrix]

I mean generally, These towns are going to have whats appearing in the trailer but thats basically its starting set up along with the new mechanics of it all

[wispy kettle]

U have to use settlement charts to find them

[sand karma]

I think I saw somewhere that there are specific charts, but some people here weren't having a lot of luck with those.

[wispy kettle]

U can use charts from ur ship now without it bugging

Pop one in space

[mighty rampart]

metal, concrete and wood parts have been redesigned!

[jovial violet]

that's a shame if so. if they even put a rudimentary planetary-mission focused mission board in it, or more npc dialogue unique to having multiple aliens in one spot, that wouldn't been mega cool

[light reef]

Can i have just one colony?

[normal matrix]

This Frontiers update is practically its own game

[jovial violet]

if without us owning the place they're just tatooine slums, i'm gonna be a bit disappointed

[light reef]

how do i find another then

[sand karma]

I think set your expectation for that and then be surprised if it is more.

[sand karma]

Charts

[fallen warren]

you know

these procedural building layouts.. actually gimme some neat ideas lol

[normal matrix]

Settlements can also be found with maps purchased from the Space Station Cartographer.

Im reading over the patch notes

Mission Board missions that involve locating NPCs can also take players to settlements.

https://www.nomanssky.com/frontiers-update/

[mighty rampart]

This is wrong, my bad

[light reef]

Alien charts?

[mighty rampart]

The old wood/concrete/metal parts are now called legacy structures

[normal matrix]

Probably need to just find a alien

[storm shell]

Oh ffs sake another 2 hours

[timid mist]

the adaptive part stuff is pretty cool, nice to not have to swap between specific types of walls lol

[sand karma]

Yeah the new building stuff is pretty good so far

[normal matrix]

Settlements can fall into debt, for example after commissioning an expensive new piece of technology. Debt is automatically repaid from surplus production. While settlements are in debt, the Overseer may not claim the extra products.

[light reef]

Wdym

[normal matrix]

THIS IS A NEW GAME

[sand karma]

And without collision you can build some crazy stuff

[naive ingot]

what does the tech tree look like now lol

[timid mist]

has a few extra pages

with all the new parts that are used in settlements

[storm shell]

Should i time skip?

[timid mist]

yes and wait for mods

[normal matrix]

Finding a alien like you would for your old base set ups for their jobs, Arms dealer, Plant guy ect. Maybe there is one for someone who can find you a city

[vague oriole]

Only 6 minutes till frontiers is downloaded

[cursive kernel]

:(

I'm in school rn

[normal matrix]

Over time, the Overseer will be called upon to make decisions. A new Settlers mission has been added to the log to help keep track of these requests. This mission will alert Overseers whenever they are required.

[runic sandal]

Dude, everyone is experiencing this update at the same time, figure it out for yourself just like everyone else, PLAY IT

[wooden umbra]

I am able to place base computers inside my settlements, probably an oversight lmao

[storm shell]

The time gating sucks

[normal matrix]

These decisions will help shape your settlement into a thriving town. However, be sure to monitor the Sentinel alert level. This will rise slowly over time, and may trigger an attack on the settlement. The Overseer must be ready to defend their people!

[cursive kernel]

Let the guy ask a fuckin question got damn

[normal matrix]

THIS UPDATE IS BLOWING MY MIND

[wooden umbra]

ah nvm you can't claim them

[sweet quiver]

if you choose a settlement can you change it afterwards?

[swift kraken]

HOW DO I GO BACK TO THE SYSTEM MY SETTLEMENT WAS IN

caps lock

soryr

[mighty rampart]

they've retextured old props to look better

[cursive kernel]

TRY CHECKING THE TELEPORTER NETWORK

[swift kraken]

IT ISNT THERE

[storm shell]

K time skipping

[vague oriole]

They also aparently changed the atmospheric effects

[tulip shuttle]

summon space anomaly, you can teleport from there

[vague oriole]

From the screenshots they look like they kinda make planets look like the old artstyle

[old robin]

dude wtf i am in debt and i haven't got an offered in like 3 hours and i can't abandon the settelment

god this game can be so fricking annoying sometimes

[vague oriole]

Also it's kinda cool how all of us who played before frontiers have exclusive base parts

FRONTIERS HAS INSTALLED LET'S GO TIME FOR SETTLEMENTS

Also i wonder when exp 3 is

[fallen warren]

ahh

question

[vague oriole]

Wait why can i still only see 5 saves

[sand karma]

Are you maxed out on 5/5? I was on 4/5 so I figured it would add another after that, but might be some lauch day bugs. 😛

[fallen warren]

someone mind going to their freighter real quick? tell me what happens when you try and enter the freighter expedition menu

also, tell me what happens if you try and customize the appearance of a pet

does it automatically back anyone else out of the menu?

[sand karma]

Not in-game anymore, so fingers crossed someone else does Eva :3

[mighty rampart]

oh so new players won't be able to unlock legacy parts now? RIP

[old robin]

damm

why would they do that

[fallen warren]

same with customizing the freighters appearance

[mighty rampart]

though I definitely like the new ones

[sand karma]

I guess not? The new parts do look a lot better. 😄

[fallen warren]

curious if this is just a me thing

[cursive kernel]

Eh old parts sucked

[mighty rampart]

For sure

I was expecting the old parts to get replaced with the new

[vague oriole]

I'm also on 4

I delete my expedition saves

[sand karma]

That might be why, but not sure

I didn't expect it to show more empty slots until I need them at 5/5

[mighty rampart]

Ayyy new images for the game mode option

[vague oriole]

I mean the only thing that looked remotely good is some wooden shacks

[vague oriole]

Yea

[chrome eagle]

uhg, found a settlement, on a black and white planet... nope, hurts my eyes, i'll find another lol

[vast pasture]

Okay so can someone give me a very short and quick of what this update is?

[mighty rampart]

Perma one looks exactly like the one pic I took but it's an iconic one to take

[fallen warren]

you are now supreme dictator of a city

[vast pasture]

Gotcha

[vague oriole]

I definitely feel like they changed some graphical effects

Idk

The game looks

Refreshed

Controls are definitely smoother

[uncut harness]

it is even in the patch note that they did @vague oriole

[mighty rampart]

Find new NPC settlements, grow them, solve disputes, protect them from sentinels, new base parts and building overhaul, QS rewards are cross save, 15 saves limit, space nebulae

[compact coyote]

Can settlements expand?

[storm shell]

Ok the market place takes 6 hours to complete

[sand karma]

Yep!

[vague oriole]

It also seems like the nebulae emit light?

[sweet quiver]

how can i abandon my settlement because it is on a very bad planet

[old robin]

no

[storm shell]

So to get a new building literally takes a day

[vague oriole]

Yooooooo my first settlement is in a very nice spit

*spot

I think I'll actually progress here

[uncut harness]

I'd love to be able to abandon my settlement and try for one on a better planet

[onyx crow]

Can I have more than 1 settlement?

[sand karma]

Just claim the next one you come across

[storm shell]

You can tho

[vague oriole]

I don't think so

[storm shell]

No

[sweet quiver]

oh ok thanks

[onyx crow]

Waaaaat

Really?

[uncut harness]

I have been looking for a way for an hour can't see any way to leave it?

[sand karma]

Don't leave it. Just claim new one.

[old robin]

yeah mine is broken and i didn't get any way to get a new one.

[storm shell]

Find a new settlement

[storm shell]

A building takes 6 hours to build loool

[uncut harness]

I used the thing to find a new one in the same system and it just keeps pointing to the one already found

[storm shell]

Claim the new one

[sand karma]

Go to another system :3

[old robin]

what thing?

[normal orchid]

Do I need to complete this early settlement task? I don't want to be an overseer on this planet...

[mighty rampart]

there's new planetary props? never seen this before

[onyx crow]

Bruh is this a mobile game 😂

[uncut harness]

Catography map thing that lets you find new settlements. I have tried 5 new and it doesn't display any new settlements it just keeps pointing to the one I already have

[storm shell]

Time skipping rn lol

[fallen warren]

jump to a different system

[uncut harness]

I want it in this system

[chrome eagle]

hm... not sure how i feel about this... Settlements name is "Ariwonj's Hole"

[vague oriole]

Wait are the sentinels that attack your settlement always corrupted

[storm shell]

Fuck the wait lol

[uncut harness]

hoping to get it on the Paradise planet within this system

[trim dune]

timers suck big time

[viral yarrow]

No that's been there

[craggy jewel]

how do i find a settlement in the planet im on

[viral yarrow]

Grass sprites have always been there :p

[chrome eagle]

oh i LOVE the building interface updates

[sudden sandal]

In the trailer I saw new one too

[mighty rampart]

huh somehow never seen it before

[vague oriole]

I just realised that prop exists near my settlement as well lmao

[mighty rampart]

this is why I love Origins, still fucking seeing new shit

bro????

[storm shell]

Cart

[mighty rampart]

this looks like I'm using some funky mod

lmao

[sudden sandal]

Their going for realism

[trim dune]

feels out of place

ewww

[light reef]

Wait you can have only one settlement in each system right

[sudden sandal]

Everything always felt simplified graphically

[trim dune]

what's a cart from 1700 doing in a alien sci-fi game

[radiant mica]

Building progress continues when you exit game, right? It's not just counted in-game?

[sudden sandal]

And those new detailed props feels weird

[vague oriole]

I wonder about the lucky peiple that logged off in the galactic hub capital

It seems there's only one settlement per planet

[sudden sandal]

« But looks, it has button on it »

[normal orchid]

People still use carts today, don't see why they wouldn't in the future

[trim dune]

ITS and ALIEN sci-fi game

[shell pawn]

Carts are useful

[sudden sandal]

« Give exploration more love » FUCKING ORIGINS UPDATE

[trim dune]

it feels out of place

[fallen warren]

we can already ride animals like horses, is using them to pull equipment that inconcievable?

[sullen hornet]

okay the new base parts are awesome

[sand karma]

The detailed props do look quite cool

[cursive kernel]

Still want retro space vibe back

I miss it

[mighty rampart]

Carts will never go out of fashion especially when they're trying to rebuild themselves and dont always have the money to afford hoverboards for everything

there's a bunch more village parts its so cute

[fallen warren]

so was starwars, it had carts

[rancid ether]

All settlements have hoverboards and instantaneous building construction. Dont you know?!

[fallen warren]

mostly used on backwater worlds, but still

[cursive kernel]

Also uhh buying technologies like that could probably attract unwanted attention

[shell pawn]

checkmate

[sudden sandal]

And they EXACTLY went for a Star Wars vibe in this update

[normal matrix]

Incase you guys are wondering, a town can appear on a planet you already have

[fallen warren]

so glad im not the only one that felt that lol

[shell pawn]

It's very star wars

[rancid ether]

I told my friends its the 'Mos Eisley' update haha

[normal matrix]

https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/1695030844594470763/817012B789BD7BC1C60D9DCB489E5928C91AFC62/?imw=5000&imh=5000&ima=fit&impolicy=Letterbox&imcolor=%23000000&letterbox=false This is my old planet i saved and a town appeared on it

[trim dune]

Gek has the high ground now

[fallen warren]

you know you joke, but the stone building material, immediately gave me major mos esiley vibes

[sand karma]

It is quite Mos Eisely yeah 😛

[storm shell]

Ain't all settlements right now backwater lol?

[fallen warren]

yep lol

[storm shell]

Okay so i timeskipped and it took 6 hours for the building to finsih

[noble scaffold]

Anybody got patch notes link

[sand karma]

These are so detailed 😱

[mighty rampart]

#nms-announcements

[normal matrix]

https://www.nomanssky.com/frontiers-update/

[noble scaffold]

Ty ty

[normal matrix]

The new decorations are AWESOME

[burnt hollow]

Are all the settlements the same stone buildings?

[sand karma]

Not sure, you might be able to upgrade them?

[storm shell]

Nah mine is metal

[mighty rampart]

you can really go for the desert retrofuture aesthetic now

[sand karma]

Ah

[chilly drift]

is this a mod ?

[storm shell]

Maybe cause it's b class?

[sand karma]

Nope basegame

[storm shell]

Update

[trim dune]

• "Added 250+ new procedural generated flora and fauna."

[compact coyote]

Ships are absolutely huge now. Saw them in the trailer

[rugged grail]

mine are kinda wooden thingies, looks like a decrepit wild west era town

[storm shell]

?

[chilly drift]

wow ok x)

[sullen hornet]

theres cups, plates, bar stuff, rugs, tapestries, posters

so much

[chilly drift]

It's stange that thing for real life on base building comes in the game

[swift kraken]

welp cant find my settlement again

[chilly drift]

I would imagine more futuristic machine

[storm shell]

Explain

[cursive kernel]

Ship big

[sudden sandal]

Elaborate

[compact coyote]

Ship big

Bigger

[tardy belfry]

Any new functionality for living ships/freighters/frigates?

[sudden sandal]

Good

[mighty rampart]

love the nebulae

[vague oriole]

Aparently the hub capital already has all the settlements taken

[sudden sandal]

Ship interior please

[storm shell]

Oh yeah they are way bigger lol

[halcyon pebble]

SP FRONTIERS IS MASSIVE

So*

[vague oriole]

Seems like there's only one settlement per planet

[tardy belfry]

Any new sentinels?

[sullen hornet]

you can make bases feel so much more lived in

[vague oriole]

Why did they make ship big hmmmmmm

[sudden sandal]

Maybe Ship interior soon 👀

[rugged grail]

kind of. not new, but new conditions for them to invade

[storm shell]

Ye

In 4.0

[sudden sandal]

Epic

[sand karma]

I'm not really seeing any differences in space ship size tbh

[halcyon pebble]

Oooh it's not 4.0

This is a awfully large update for not 4.0

[sullen hornet]

wait what ship bigger?

[sudden sandal]

They are, but not enough to have an interior

[tardy belfry]

I'm using a LS and it doesn't feel any bigger.

[icy citrus]

Camera change, can do eye level or default

maybe has something to do with it?

[sand karma]

Likewise :3

[sullen hornet]

the ships arent any different size tho

[sudden sandal]

Maybe to see them better in space ?

[trim dune]

the only new addition i like

[mighty rampart]

Radiant Pillar seems the same size so idk

[wind panther]

Golden vector is the same size

[sullen hornet]

suprised theres no new freighter parts

[sand karma]

You don't like landing bugfixes, tons of new assets, quicksilver cross-saves and more save slots? 😛

[sudden sandal]

It’s weird

[mighty rampart]

I think it is what Gleam said

[cursive kernel]

Guys

[mighty rampart]

Eye level finally working as intended

[cursive kernel]

We still don't have the cape

[sudden sandal]

This update is better than Prims gameplay wise

[cursive kernel]

0/10 update 🗿

[supple crater]

It does change your perspective a bit.. especially if you're gek

[sudden sandal]

Gek smol

[storm shell]

Guys we have new tires right?

[swift kraken]

REMEMBER: SET A BASE COMPUTER NEAR YOUR SETTELMENT

[storm shell]

That means new exocraft

In the future

[sullen hornet]

guys you can place hundreds of wheelbarrows

[storm shell]

The tractor exocraft

[sullen hornet]

so many wheelbarrows

this addition changes everything

[vague oriole]

Well there's a hostile spy suspected at my settlement

That's not good

[mighty rampart]

So this is where all the proc gen city work came into being, fucking amazing

[wispy frost]

Ships were made bigger when vr was introduced.

[sullen hornet]

i really like this update

[onyx crow]

I just wish the times were not this long

[sullen hornet]

im probably gonna just set my system time forward for the timed stuff

[compact coyote]

I LOVE that they’re proc gen!!!!

[sullen hornet]

i like doing stuff at my own pace instead of being time gated

[storm shell]

Why can't i see the settlements on the teleport screen?

[sand karma]

It's gonna sound weird, but I genuinly don't mind. If it were quicker you'd be done with settlements in days. Now you can watch it grow over weeks potentially.

[storm shell]

Do they appear only in space station teleporters?

[sullen hornet]

i kinda like certain waits though

[onyx crow]

Tru i do see the appeal

[storm shell]

6 hour wait is a no no for me

[onyx crow]

So to build manually on settlements I need to build a Base computer yea?

[normal matrix]

I basically just got a quest after leaving orbit out of my planet and some get was like "Hey we need help" and then took me to a settlement marker

[mighty rampart]

this is so cozy

[sand karma]

It's gonna give me a quick reason to login a few times a day

[mighty rampart]

what was the 2 hour wait for?

[south shadow]

Has it dropped for ps4 yet

[sand karma]

You can't manually build on them because expanding them spawns in the new buildings / items etc.

[sullen hornet]

i play warframe so im used to it

[mighty rampart]

the office took a few seconds in creative mode

[sand karma]

But you can place a base computer somewhere a bit away from it I think

[onyx crow]

I just want a teleporter on my settlement

[storm shell]

The market was built in 3 parts each one took two hours

[sullen hornet]

3 day waits for crafting warframes, i can do a few hours lol

[sand karma]

Pick a nice hill close to it and put one there I guess or maybe teleporter is one of the items you unlock later on. 😄

[onyx crow]

Oooo u can buy settlement charts

[storm shell]

I have base in the same system

[vague oriole]

What the hell my settlement expedition ended early

[vague oriole]

Like an hour early

[sand karma]

I meant not right on top of it 😛

[vague oriole]

God i love those flavor texts

I've seen "does not want to be noticed"

[sand karma]

Lol all of these characters are me

[vague oriole]

And i just fell from a roof onto that poor korvax

[trim dune]

so what can you do at settlements besides base building ?

any other activities?

[vague oriole]

Actually it's not base building it's managing a settlement

[mighty rampart]

ok the timegates are only for normal/survival/perma

10 seconds on creative

[jovial violet]

leon's gonna have a stroke with all these timers

[vague oriole]

It's basically like a freighter fleet but with a lot more decisions

[sullen hornet]

how did you manage to place the banners properly, they wont rotate the proper way for me hmmm

[vague oriole]

Like this is rlly involved

[sand karma]

Yeah that's the funny part. People complain about basebuilding, but settlements aren't base building. 😛

[vague oriole]

It will definitely give me a reason to play nms every day

[wooden umbra]

probably just as useless as freighters too, unfourtunately

[wind panther]

We'll be able to mod those timers away soon I'm sure

[vague oriole]

Well there are a lot of base building stuff in the update

[rugged grail]

how are freighters useless?

[vague oriole]

I find it fun even tho i have nothing to gain from it

[sand karma]

Mostly with the items from the settlement and a new UI 😛

[young tiger]

At least this update will make the city people be quiet lol

[sullen hornet]

i think hello will prolly balace the waits to make it more player friendly

[wooden umbra]

beyond just being mobile bases they don't really do much

[vague oriole]

The only thing I'm wondering about is why did they make ships big

[sand karma]

Mobile inventory and Exocraft spawners too 😄

[jovial violet]

matter beam + storage containers makes them enormous mobile resource carriers. you'll never want for inventory space again

[sullen hornet]

theyre the same size, the camera height is adjustable now

[rugged grail]

ability to access all your 10 big storage boxes from any system, ability to summon any exocraft on any planet you're exploring, passively earn a lot of resources thru missions daily, those would be on the top of the list beyond what you said

[wooden umbra]

actually neglected to mention that, fair enough.

[vague oriole]

Well i already clipped into some crates in the anomaly

[jovial violet]

i absolutely adore the camera height fix. i'm finally the tiny gek i was always meant to be

[vague oriole]

This update is very stable and not at all buggy

[supple crater]

[onyx crow]

Whats the easiest way to get nav data?

[jovial violet]

the crashes are ruining me atm. i can't go ten minutes without a ctd

[sullen hornet]

theres definitely a few bugs but i love this update, so much more depth than i expected, its kinda like its own meta game

[chrome eagle]

hm, screenshots not allowed in this channel?

[sand karma]

Probably too low role I guess?

[rancid ether]

Some trade outposts sell it

[rugged grail]

i wonder if we can visit each others settlements down the road. maybe thru new buildings like visitor center

[onyx crow]

Cheers

[sand karma]

Yeah the different type of gameplay is what really excites me here.

[jovial violet]

oh well that's fun. my settlement doesn't appear in the space station terminus

[normal ivy]

Did you guys already talk about all the new expedition 3 rewards?

[jovial violet]

um, whoops? guess i'm out of a settlement now :'D

[vague oriole]

Also can we talk about the "overlord" title

I love it

[autumn jacinth]

already crashed twice and the game breaks when I try to learn recepies from research places. It definitely comes with some bugs

[normal ivy]

Bubble jetpacks are life 🥰

[sand karma]

isn't there like a settlement mission in the journal?

[rugged grail]

the mean serious business looking companion is also nice

[chrome eagle]

my settlement is built on cursed ground... and doesn't allow pets... wtf!

[normal ivy]

We're the HDR options always in there? Whenever I'm modify them my entire game crashes

[jovial violet]

i have it selected, it's asking me to teleport back to the settlement. but there's no settlement in my teleporter list

thanks dice

[chrome eagle]

my settlement is built on a Steven King novel!

[sand karma]

Well it wouldn't list settlement, but maybe mission icons instead? On both galaxy map and teleporters? 😛

Could be a bug though, I haven't left this sytem yet.

[jovial violet]

i teleported back to elkupalos, the settlement is somewhere in eissentam. i don't think i'm gonna be finding my way back

[vague oriole]

My in game title is now overlord ZaGroovyPhrog

Wait

That new article

Says

They're excited for the opportunities frontiers brings

[sand karma]

And none of the space stations list a mission icon? Or were you not that far ahead in claiming the settlement?

[trim dune]

more base building overhauls

[sand karma]

Remember where the main feature of this update isn't base building?

[jovial violet]

no missions icons on the space stations that i could see. i do have the settlement claimed, it's building a cantina or something atm

i'm just beansed i guess

[sand karma]

Though the new basebuilding UI is appreciated. 😛

[vague oriole]

THERE ARE POSTERS NOW?

[sand karma]

Oof

[jovial violet]

oh god i'm gonna have to grind planetary charts to find another one

oh noooooo

[digital narwhal]

Anyone know if multiple freighters have been added? When playing with someone both can summon it in same system.

[rugged grail]

rip

[sand karma]

Will stab you in the back soon

[jovial violet]

#EuraatforOverseer

[sand karma]

Both of you can summon it, but you can only own one

[vague oriole]

Well my settlement has a spy in it aparently

According to the rumors

[sleek dragon]

My citizen keep dying in exploration

[vague oriole]

Me and the boys queueing up for the new base parts

[sand karma]

😄

[uncut harness]

Why is everything so bright

[vague oriole]

Idk it happens sometimes with ps screenshots

[mighty rampart]

ok so essentially these settlements are something you keep visiting every often and once you've expanded it, starts giving you their surplus materials as rewards

[supple crater]

You have been replaced.

[jovial violet]

everything is bloom in the future!

[vague oriole]

I usually manually adjust the brightness when i post them

[trim dune]

just like the fleet mechanic.

[jovial violet]

i can't believe sean added tamagotchi's to no man's sky!!!

[uncut harness]

I dig it

[trim dune]

idle mechanics again

[mighty rampart]

yeah but you're directly involved in it compared to fleets

you keep coming back physically to construct new buildings, solve disputes, fight off sentinels

[jovial violet]

would've liked the ability to place buildings where i want in settlements. it seems it just chooses it's own site per building

[uncut harness]

What direction do you guys think they’ll take this, post update

[trim dune]

yeah, that's better. Agree

[vague oriole]

BASES NOW SHOW UP AS BUILDINGS INSTEAD OF SOME RANDOM FACILITY OR SMTH

YOOOOOO

[jovial violet]

feels like a small omission that would've made them much more personal

[mighty rampart]

you physically see the NPCs that settle in, whenever a new NPC shows up

[trim dune]

even MORE base building overhauls

[jovial violet]

my settlement is now blessed by the aerons

[mighty rampart]

watching NPCs run is kinda unsettling lmao

[mighty rampart]

vykeen suddenly ran towards me

[trim dune]

scary

[vague oriole]

Wait does the new contextual base part thing work with the legacy parts

[fickle torrent]

this guy has been bitching about this since frontiers went online

[mighty rampart]

yes it worked for me

[sand karma]

Yeah

[jovial violet]

(managed to find my way back via portal co-ords, thankfully i snapped a shot of a ship that flew over with the portal code in it)

don't lose your settlements guys

[sand karma]

Dodged a bullet 😄

[jovial violet]

god yeah! so glad i checked my screenshots

[sand karma]

Losing your settlement is gonna get you voted out next election for sure though

Or whatever his name was will replace u 😛

[uncut harness]

They fly run now?

[jovial violet]

they run now!

[sand karma]

Yeah there is town pathing and such

[sullen hornet]

this game is starting to feel like an infinite mass effect from an alternate universe

[sand karma]

For the settlements

[uncut harness]

Oh i can’t wait to check it out

[chrome eagle]

i've got 70m credits... can't i just pay off my settlements debt? lol

[simple obsidian]

So how do I find a settlement ?

[normal orchid]

Can you own more than one settlement? If not, can you abandon an old one?

[sand karma]

Go far enough post the tutorial and game will point you towards one

[sand karma]

You can abandon

[jovial violet]

alright another crash. gonna wait for the first experimentals to hit before trying again. have fun everyone

[sand karma]

Well just find a new one rather

[simple obsidian]

Ah ok

[storm shell]

Bruh i only have one positive effect

[wintry silo]

Is it stil not on Xbox?

[normal orchid]

Perfect, thanks!

[storm shell]

But I'm sticking to my first one

[jovial violet]

i did to start too, i earned that from letting some shady cultist stay :'D

[young tiger]

So there were no changes to procgen or flora/fauna correct?

[normal orchid]

Crap.. game crashed and rolled back my office construction 😄

[storm shell]

Oof

[topaz pasture]

Is expedition three working for anyone?

[jovial violet]

not available yet

[supple crater]

It's not launched yet.

[sullen hornet]

probs next week

[wintry silo]

Hey guys is it not on Xbox yet?

[topaz pasture]

Do we know when it will?

[topaz pasture]

I’m playing on my Xbox right now

[storm shell]

Ah fuck why am i able to shoot grenades in the base

I died

[wintry silo]

Hmm odd its not even showing an update

[vague oriole]

So uhhhhh aparently the update broke my landing pads

[normal orchid]

I don't even put grenades on my weapons now because of that 😄

[jovial violet]

oh that reminds me! you've all seen the new landing pad right?

[vague oriole]

Now my ship will spawn in another place when i teleport to my base

Thanks sean

[vague oriole]

Yea

[jovial violet]

construct cost said it was only 25 carbon for me in the purchase menu

25 carbon!

i hope it's both true and that they don't fix it

[vague oriole]

I am kinda torn on what the best 3.x update is

(except for origins)

This or expeditions

[autumn jacinth]

I saw that lol, im pretty sure thats not intended

[jovial violet]

prisms gets my vote. just a nice update that'll always be felt in every aspect of the game

[jovial violet]

shhh, let's not tell sean

[vague oriole]

Wait a minute

NOOOOOO I NEED TO RELEARN HOW TO ADJACENCY GLITCH

[storm shell]

Better looking and cheaper alternative

[sullen hornet]

they kinda added a glitch building mode

if you turn off snap placement

[jovial violet]

i've not built a base since december. maybe nows a good time time find a nice spot and put one down in eissentam

[rancid ether]

You can just disable the collision/ snap

[storm shell]

Free placement

Really fucked me up lol

When i couldn't snap the habitats together lol

[rugged grail]

not yet if i can help it 🙂

[supple crater]

[gusty stream]

Et tu Brute?

[sullen hornet]

its like a better version of fallout 4s settlements

[rugged grail]

i really love the new build interface, much smoother to find everything

wish they'll add a snap to grid feature in future

[rancid ether]

I do like that they kept it in tune with the lore. Sentinels increasing as the settlement grows, etc

[vague oriole]

I mean with how you need to press the cycle item button instead of direction

Also wait

[tawdry mica]

Hey, I have the materials but when I go to the construction site it won’t let me supply them?

[vague oriole]

Doesn't that mean you'll need to change what you adjacency from

Cos it's directional now

[supple crater]

"Get off my damn lawn."

• Sentinels probably.

[ashen spoke]

PS4 14gb update now out 👀👀

[rugged grail]

do you have them in the exosuit inventory?

[rancid ether]

Yes, but again, you can just disable collision, which was the only reason i used glitches anyway

[tawdry mica]

Teach

Yeah*

[rancid ether]

If you want glitches to create perfect geometry, just draw it out with wires now and place with collision off

[elfin arrow]

Can we have multiple settlements or only one?

[storm shell]

Do Paradise planets have better settlements?

[vague oriole]

Honestly i find the hi res timber texture next to the legacy wood textures hilarious

[mighty rampart]

Lol ikr

Also man there's just so many new parts I can barely keep track this feels modded

[sand karma]

Yeah, day and night 😛

[storm shell]

?

[vague oriole]

Like i could whip up a decent looking build in creative in like 2 minutes

Using just BASIC WALLS

[strange kayak]

YES YES YES YES MOREBASE PARTS!

[vague oriole]

Wtf

[sand karma]

Can, but not necessarily. Too early to judge full parameters. Been out only a little while.

[vague oriole]

This isn't the nms i know

[mighty rampart]

Yep it feels quite cosy and filled in, it used to feel quite hollow and awkward before unless you delved into glitch building

[sand karma]

New Man's Sky

[vague oriole]

Indeed

[gusty stream]

True!

This is a godsend!

[rancid ether]

Someone should remake the trailer vid using "Country Roads" as the music lol

[mighty rampart]

Except the plants, those have been the only thing I liked about previous base building

[ionic scarab]

So this is the major update or minor?

[near ferry]

Can you resign from your overseer position ? noyiced settlement hace class type like ships/weapons ect...

[mighty rampart]

Could make a lovely niche

[mighty rampart]

Even I can't find a way to opt out

[gusty stream]

Major update

[near ferry]

I want a class A or S

[sand karma]

But no 4.0 summer update 😄

Just to avoid that confusion

[vague oriole]

They upgrade as you go

[mighty rampart]

Winter update?

[vague oriole]

Fall update?

[sand karma]

Heh, just a really nice 3.6 update 😄

[mighty rampart]

Bro 4.0 for Christmas

[ionic scarab]

Yeah so winter update I guess

[tawdry mica]

So can I not build until debt is clear? Cause I have the materials I need but no option to insert them

[ionic scarab]

THAT WOULD BE GAS

[near ferry]

@vague oriole oh really

[storm shell]

I only see 4 free save slots for some reason

Help

[vague oriole]

The 15 slot thing seems to be very buggy

[ashen spoke]

Can you interact with settlement NPCs? Are there shops?

[vague oriole]

There aren't shops

Hg mentioned the opportunies settlements bring tho

[storm shell]

You can build different stuff like a marketplace and a saloon , debt doesn't affect it

[vague oriole]

I hope when i wake up tommorow i won't be in crippling nms debt

[tawdry mica]

Huh, I’m tryna build the generator tower but the option is greyed out

I have like 2k mag ferrite and need only abt 280

[rancid lance]

how do you build new structure?

[vague oriole]

This is the second game to put me in virtual debt

[elfin arrow]

any way to reduce the timers yet?

[vague oriole]

The first is ofc animal crossing

[rancid lance]

the terminal only says no pending decision

[vague oriole]

Yes they just appear

You can't just randomly build stuff

[rancid lance]

oh.. thats..

[tawdry mica]

Sleep unit, is that why I can’t place?

[gusty stream]

Can we pay debt with our own money or nah

[wind panther]

No

[gusty stream]

Ass!

[fallen warren]

my game crashed and i lost my progress on building the shipyard

was half way through the timer

[gusty stream]

https://tenor.com/view/toystory-buzz-buzzlightyear-academy-training-gif-7910531

[fallen warren]

guess ill just flip my system timer ahead

[naive ingot]

whos bringing Space Communism

[hybrid pendant]

Damn those interiors in settlement

Crazy detail

[near ferry]

my settlement is very laggy ..but another not ...anyone else ?

[hybrid pendant]

not sure

What platform ur on?

[near ferry]

PC, steam

[onyx crow]

Settlement ls make my Base look so bad

[storm shell]

Time skipping

[sullen hornet]

can i pay off debt with my personal credits?

[gusty stream]

Nope

Which sucks

[sullen hornet]

wtf

cmon hello

[rugged grail]

sadly no so far. maybe another later building could unlock this, idk

[sullen hornet]

that makes no sense

[rugged grail]

the debt is not an actual debt though, it's a settlement deficit per day. guess the wording could've been better.

[normal orchid]

It sucks but it makes sense. With so many people with basically infinite credits it would make that aspect trivial

[dim scarab]

A lot of players have 91937284838477474 credits due to cheesy farms

[mighty rampart]

Yep same, some are seemingly heavy on loading

[dim scarab]

Though I do find limiting the mechanic to real time with no way to speed it up via playing strange

[uncut harness]

Well HG likes that for some reason

Eggs, living ship mission, even the old anomaly mission with polo

[rugged grail]

Hmm... seems I found a bug, bought 2 planetary settlement maps from the cartographer, neither of them resulted in any settlement being displayed but the maps got used.

[storm shell]

Any really easy way to get salvage data?

[storm shell]

That happens with normal maps too, sometimes they won't find anything

[normal orchid]

I usually just buy them when I encounter little settlements with landing pads

[storm shell]

Trading posts?

[jovial violet]

i thought they fixed it so a failed search wouldn't consume the map?

pls don't tell me they undid that

[normal orchid]

The small ones, not the big trading posts. Same guy that sells blueprints and components sometimes have them

I think if you already have a settlement waypoint it won't find another, and there appears to be a limited number of settlements per system (if any)

[storm shell]

What are vehicle building outposts?

[chrome eagle]

this is perfect for me to do while working 😛 can set buildings to build and walk away for a few minutes to go to meetings etc and then come back and proceed to the next step and stuff

[storm shell]

Trading posts apparently

[storm shell]

• for a few hours lol

[chrome eagle]

well, so far its been 20m increments

[storm shell]

Tf

[elfin arrow]

is oxygen harvester missing from the menu?

[storm shell]

Mine was 6 hours with two hour parts

[chrome eagle]

i'm building building #2 so far, so i expect the time will go up

[nocturne zephyr]

so...

can sentinels damage settlements?

or npcs?

[storm shell]

Nah they just gang up on you i think

[nocturne zephyr]

HAHA.

another half-fleshed out update.

[fallen warren]

so

spaceport is built

[storm shell]

?

[fallen warren]

guess now ya gotta wait until another one of the build events come up

[trim dune]

HEY. Guess what? They overhauld base buidling AGA?IN

[nocturne zephyr]

YAY !!!!!!

[trim dune]

no joke

[nocturne zephyr]

i know.

5 year anniversary

[trim dune]

i lost all hope man

[nocturne zephyr]

@icy citrus you can give me the grump role if you so desire

[jovial violet]

i don't mind the basebuilding additions, they're pretty cool. but i am disappointed how half-done the settlements feel. they're oddly... lifeless, despite feeling like they should have so much life

[icy citrus]

Do you so desire?

[tulip shuttle]

guys how we restart the settlers quest???

[nocturne zephyr]

yes

[icy citrus]

k

[storm shell]

How long did it take for you to build?

[gloomy isle]

What's the overall opinions on the update?

[trim dune]

eh

[cursive kernel]

It is an update

[elfin arrow]

Is the game crashing just for me while entering the settlement?

[nocturne zephyr]

thank you

[trim dune]

good for base builders, bad for explorers

[jovial violet]

so much potential, so little realisation of that potential

[compact coyote]

I really like it

[fallen warren]

Look, if you don't like the update thats fine, but if all you are going to do is sit here complaining and mocking it, can I suggest you go do something else for a bit Ady? We can help with that if you'd like.

[storm shell]

Time gating bad

[sand karma]

I'm having a lot of fun with it so far. Some people were angry before the update, patch notes or trailer dropped because it's not what they want so don't mind that. 😛

[tulip shuttle]

thats why you have to build it?

[cursive kernel]

True

[jovial violet]

i mean mechanically, not in terms of npc's wandering about

[trim dune]

nah, i'm cool. Just a bit disappointed. That's all

[fallen warren]

4 hopurs, but my game crashed half way through, so i just popped my system clock ahead

[tulip shuttle]

guys how we restart the settlers quest???

[sullen hornet]

i love the posters, i wish i had real versions lol

[storm shell]

Mine was 6 ;_;

[mighty rampart]

Can't

[elfin arrow]

Can we install a teleporter in the settlement?

[fallen warren]

Constructive Criticism is fine, but when all you do is mock and post sarcasm, the line between disappointment and trolling blurs. Keep that in mind.

[tulip shuttle]

so i have a friend that start the settlers mission in the same planet as mine, but the quest always lead him to my settlement, anyone have the same problem?

[rugged grail]

do you have to switch steam to offline mode for this to work?

[fallen warren]

yep

[jovial violet]

honestly wish they added these settlements as npc-only things first, and given them a ton of utility and fun things to see and do at them, and then let us start managing some

as it stands they feel like a building minigame in a game with a full-on basebuilding suite

[rugged grail]

the only issue i have so far with the update is planetary settlement maps that don't find anything shouldn't get consumed.

[trim dune]

I would have liked some other activities besides managing/building them. A "pit stop" for explorers where you can do different activities

[spice gorge]

Ok I just got in the game and took off from this planet I have a base on. In space I got the alert broadcast on another planet and see the settlement - I'm flying over it. Now, I really wanted the settlement to be on the planet that I was already on. Is there evidence that restarting and going to space and trying again will change the location of that settlement to another planet? Or is it just going to be where it was the first time (have not saved), and is there just one per system? Thanks.

[jovial violet]

that's a feature regression that i'm sure they'll patch. they only fixed that a couple updates ago, so

[compact coyote]

I do think they should’ve added more exploration content but I’m fine with that I have rn

[jovial violet]

definitely unintended

[mighty rampart]

As long as he's not directly insulting others I think it's fine? People are gonna be disappointed so I can't blame them for feeling grumpy

[hybrid pendant]

Can we go in the nebulas ?

[rugged grail]

sure hope so, then it's all rainbows 🙂

[trim dune]

The nebulas are cool tho

[mighty rampart]

It's just part of the skybox

[sullen hornet]

I imagine you'll be able to upgrade the class of your settlement eventually?

[hybrid pendant]

Fuck.

[jovial violet]

guessing it improves as it's cash flow does, idk. just a guess

[storm shell]

You can

[rugged grail]

afaik you have to complete the mini tutorial to claim the settlement quest says to, then you can buy planetary settlement maps from cartographers to find new ones, which you can then claim discarding the old one.

[spice gorge]

So in short: are the settlements randomly placed every time you go into space for the first time (like if you reload save)

[sullen hornet]

Thanks Joe Rogan

[hybrid pendant]

I love that they putted for us players

[spice gorge]

Ah, thanks.

[hybrid pendant]

Old wood builds u can use

[jovial violet]

oh god, we're gonna have to sit through the timers again if we claim a new one, aren't we? aaaaaaa

at least for living ships you sat through the timers once

[rugged grail]

but as you can imagine all this is very early info, new ways to find or manage them may be discovered later

[rugged grail]

yup

[mighty rampart]

But yeah admittedly the gameplay in the settlements stuff is pretty lacking than what I initially felt when reading the notes, plus the rewards aren't anything unique just resources you usually aquire by other means so it's more of a "you can do this instead of the other dozens of ways to collect resources"

[rugged grail]

well, i imagine this is ground work for future additions

pretty easy to add new settlement stuff, now that we have them

[jovial violet]

that's a shame, honestly. i hope they expand on these in a big way

well the base building stuff looks neat. i might try it out if i find a cool place to settle again

[rugged grail]

it's kinda fun though not all building, you get quests popping off every now and then to settle disputes, to organize events or to admit new people to the settlement

[jovial violet]

not built in almost a year so this'll be fun 😅

[mighty rampart]

Same it's such an untapped potential to do fun stuff with rewards wise

[mighty rampart]

I do enjoy this though

[rugged grail]

yes, same

[storm shell]

He haven't fully upgraded settlements have we ? So better not judge prematurely

[rugged grail]

and the default one i got handed it's not on a terribad planet, just freezing cold but i can cope

[jovial violet]

my only wish is that it didn't ask me to go back to the settlement for every little thing. one thing i hate about a lot of current gameplay is that you have to stop exploring wherever you are to go back to your base for missions, get your freighter in for frigates, call the anomaly for any of it's stuff

now there's another anchor in the universe i have to keep going to constantly just to tell one gek they were a very naughty lizard sometimes

[solemn shard]

cant relate tbh

[rugged grail]

you can go back whenever you want though? like you don't have to do it the second it pops off

[jovial violet]

of course, of course. but it's ✨ ~new~ ✨ content, and i want to see what my settlement looks like when it's all happy and built up

[mighty rampart]

I think they should do what Desolation did, a patch where you get unique rewards from successful settlement work like getting some new prefabs that look like the settlement ones

[jovial violet]

at the same time i want to go out and explore!

[storm shell]

I'm still waiting on the station core

[rugged grail]

ikr? except i don't want to go out and explore, i want more stuff to happen in the settlement, like... all the time 🙂

[storm shell]

I can't trade with black market pilots anymore

It just kick me out

[jovial violet]

this is where the timers get me down. the game both wants me to go do something else, but stop by in an hour to continue construction of something

idk, it feels very... restrictive, moreso than a lot of things in this game

[rugged grail]

i don't mind the timer as long as there's other things to do around the settlement, like the random things to handle that pop off

[jovial violet]

with the realisation that i can't seem to reliably teleport to this place either, i'm kind of limited to just staying near to this star as well

[rugged grail]

but there seems isn't enough of them to keep us busy 100% on the settlement

[rugged grail]

why not? i popped off a mini base in a cave nearby the settlement, with short distance teleporter right to the edge of the settlement

[jovial violet]

yeah, exactly! even something small like a semi unique bounty board, npc's giving out missions like "oh no can you help me repair this ship" or something would add so much imo

[jovial violet]

the game never mentioned i'd have to make a base next to my settlement, so i ended up stranded when it said "pls come back" and i realised i had no teleporter marker in the space station terminus

[rugged grail]

gotcha! but now that you know you can make one next time you're there, right?

[jovial violet]

i probably should, yeah

actually that is a weird omission, there being no teleporter in the overseer's office for you to use

feels like something that should be in there for a traveller to use

[mighty rampart]

Oh yeah space station cores are still useless, and same with Basalt

[rugged grail]

there might be, down the road, once we develop the settlement far enough

[mighty rampart]

Unless I missed some new base part using basalt

[jovial violet]

we live in hope

[rugged grail]

that we do, that we do 🙂

[jovial violet]

maybe next summer we'll get a use for it!

[mighty rampart]

Or maybe sooner

[jovial violet]

haha, maybe, maybe

[storm shell]

I was saying this whole day , lol i think we get something once the settlement reaches s class

[jovial violet]

i hope it's a decal

[mighty rampart]

Kinda doubt it as there's nothing in patch notes about it

[celest saddle]

Do we level settlements or are they like freighters where they are the same

Like. Is it worth grabbing a b class settlement as a first

[hybrid pendant]

The reflection of the light at night ❤

[native holly]

Oh that is beautiful

[hybrid pendant]

D E T A I L S

[indigo smelt]

Wait a minute, these are not the usual sentinels.

[jovial violet]

seems like all settlements start off b-class? at least from what i've seen posted thus far

[jovial violet]

they're the corrupted sentinels iirc

[native holly]

Most start off C

[chrome eagle]

well... think i might have found a bug, says to supply materials, but doesn't tell me what the materials are

[indigo smelt]

Yeah, this is interesting.

[native holly]

I have no idea if the class of the settlement will go up when you upgrade it more, or it's gonna stay like that

[jovial violet]

try not to worry about the class too much, it's exhausting only hunting s-class junk

[hybrid pendant]

Those procedural interiors are quite something

[sand karma]

Yeah it's insane

Looks like an entirely different game

[hybrid pendant]

They did good using the desolation tech for that

Reallly good

[native holly]

Yooo what
That is beautiful

[hybrid pendant]

Gg marian

[compact coyote]

That’s beautiful

[hybrid pendant]

Gg

[native holly]

I wish my settlement looked like that
My people likes to put tables right in front of doors

[gusty berry]

raiding others' settlements would be fun

albeit a lot more griefing will occur lul

[gloomy isle]

What can we do in the settlements? Also how busy do they get?

[celest saddle]

Same

[native holly]

So far it's just build, solve problems, defend

[dense quartz]

Is there any way to see your settlement on the galactic map or teleport back to it..?

[celest saddle]

How many settlements can we oversee?

[sand karma]

Bases in the teleporter

[native holly]

One

[celest saddle]

I might have to abandon my settlement then

Because I'm not a fan of the planet it's on

[dense quartz]

I've checked but I don't see the settlement in the teleporter or in the map

[native holly]

It'd be really cool if I can find a settlement on a Paradise planet

[celest saddle]

Can you?

[sand karma]

Hmm was showing for people here earlier. Then I guess back to last space station and go planet side from there? 🙂

[dense quartz]

Hmm..

[celest saddle]

Because yeah, i'm aboutta ditch my progress and find a new settlement

[hybrid pendant]

Yup i like the style

[sand karma]

Wow 😱

[hybrid pendant]

Love the windows

I like that the settlements can be attacked

Maybe mods can be use to make that available for our baszs

[celest saddle]

I'm guessing if you want a settlement, it has to be on a sentinel oriented planet

[vague oriole]

New base parts too

[celest saddle]

But yeah, I've been asking for settlements/civilization for quite awhile

[vague oriole]

Also did anyone notice that Japanese temple build in the patch notes?

[sand karma]

Yeah I'm unlocking the ones I can as we speak 😄

[sand karma]

Same

[sand karma]

Yeah that was a lovely build!

[vague oriole]

It seems to have been inspired by a screenshot sean retweeted

The foreshadowing

[scarlet spire]

So I used to play a fair bit of no man's sky, my biggest complaint was always lack of defensive structures

Does anyone have any idea what ones were included in this update?

[sand karma]

I know there are turrets

[scarlet spire]

Save me a reinstall potentially

[next lagoon]

Internal got updated again?

[sand karma]

But not sure otherwise, the update hasn't been up log enough for people to catalog everything :3

[halcyon pebble]

How big can you make the city?

[scarlet spire]

Yeah was hoping to get a sneak peek from a eager player in the middle of it currently 😅

[distant wigeon]

There are some annoying bugs in the update so i'm probably gonna wait a bit before I play again, but from what I saw the Frontiers update is some good shit

[indigo smelt]

Hmm, something tells me the devs didn't quite think this through. There is a debt timer, but I also have building timers.

[sand karma]

It grows over time with new tasks, so we don't know

[halcyon pebble]

Oh tysm!!

[hybrid pendant]

I bet its big

[celest saddle]

Actually, is there a way to abandon a settlement for pastures new or are you stuck with it?

[hybrid pendant]

Because there a round on those settlements

Like before

[vague oriole]

I sense a big nms wiki overhaul

To accommodate for settlements

[hybrid pendant]

@sand karma remember before next

[indigo smelt]

Can I speed up settlement building?

[hybrid pendant]

We had those big circular areas to build

[hybrid pendant]

Go offline and move ur date or hours

[indigo smelt]

Oh.

[mighty rampart]

in absolute love with what proc gen throws up

[sand karma]

Ayy and wild basecomputers 😄

[rose vapor]

The new expansion is automatic for updates right

[sand karma]

Though I found wild base computers still a while back

[rose vapor]

no purchase required?

[mighty rampart]

yep its auto

[celest saddle]

Nms never has paid dlc

[mighty rampart]

think of it as those bugfix patches but its content

you cant opt out

[hybrid pendant]

Those interiors do

[celest saddle]

But yeah, can we abandon settlements to find new ones or am I fucked with this suck ass planet?

[hybrid pendant]

Look really good

Procedural can do crazy things

Hmm

[mighty rampart]

lol

cant wait to see an npc walking through fire

[cyan crane]

Hey for real so any know facts yet?

Can confirm your settlement auto upgrades in class as you progress but is it one a system/planet/player?

[celest saddle]

Apparently it's one settlement

From what I've been told

Like just one

[trim dune]

1 is enough

[cyan crane]

I can deal with one but can I.. choose where at all? What's the new cartographer map about?

[hybrid pendant]

Damn

[mighty rampart]

lets you find a settlement

[gloomy isle]

You can buy one from the map guy at the station. You can use them to find settlements. You can become overseer but you'll lose the other settlement

[cyan crane]

Ok thank you.

[mighty rampart]

I dont notice the difference between "default" and "eye level" settings for camera, anyone else?

[supple crater]

Play a Gek.

Big difference.

[celest saddle]

At least I know of can ditch my current one

[fallen warren]

ohh nice, you got a wooden settlement, mines an alloy settlement

[mighty rampart]

oh so its when you play as a gek but want to go back to the default eye view?

that makes sense

[celest saddle]

Also just learned they can spawn as c class as well so maybe they can be higher too

[hybrid pendant]

Wonder if those fix are gonna come on experimental today

[jovial violet]

interesting, wonder what a potential ambient s-class looks like in terms of statistics

[vague oriole]

Shit now i regret settling on an ice planet

Maybe on an eventual new save

(now that we can have 15 whole saves)

[celest saddle]

Maybe a full scale city with high income. But likely still in debt with poor happiness

[vague oriole]

Actually i feel like I'm gonna keep my exp3 save as a secondary save

[rose vapor]

Where is the bug repots, they broke the Frigate recruiting, the interface disappears when you go to inspect the freighter

[compact coyote]

Wow that’s sick

[vague oriole]

Those interiors are insane

And i thought desolation having procedural derelicts was insane

[mighty rampart]

also I still cant fucking recolour the derelict freighter deco

come on HG

[jovial violet]

crashed out after spending 70 salvaged data on new parts 🥲

[rose vapor]

I can't even customize my anything either in Space

[jovial violet]

this is getting frustrating

[vague oriole]

But the new parts look insane

As i said

Just place a timber wall next to a legacy wood wall

[hybrid pendant]

Close to me but more aligned

[vague oriole]

The difference is insane

[celest saddle]

Just got myself a paradise settlement spawn, time to check it out

Same planet as my main base

[mighty rampart]

there's just so much damn variety to the basic parts

my main gripe with basic parts, solved

[bitter pendant]

If you leave a settlement do the improvements you've made stay? Can you reinstate yourself as overseer again?

[compact coyote]

They should do that, but for exploration . Love the update

[trim dune]

Added 250 new proc generated flora and fauna

[vague oriole]

Honestly this has become my favourite post origins update

My previous was expeditions

[mighty rampart]

I cant believe hg convinced me to get into base building

[compact coyote]

Origins is still my fav anniversary update. Love this one too

[mighty rampart]

of all the things

[vague oriole]

I mean after origins

Also this isn't rlly the big anual update

[mighty rampart]

I'm still in shock that it isn't

[sullen hornet]

it seems all the settlement stuff can be built with base parts, cool stuff

[mighty rampart]

it was such a perfect moment to drop a big one

[vague oriole]

Wait what

You can build them in bases?

[trim dune]

They could have made less base building parts and some new flora an fauna too

[mighty rampart]

yeah most of the settlements use base parts

[sullen hornet]

yep

[mighty rampart]

just like derelict freighters

[vague oriole]

There have literally been 5 exploration updates

[trim dune]

Lol

[celest saddle]

"Localized quicksand: population loss"
"Undrinkable water: population loss"

I thought this was a paradise planet

[sullen hornet]

you cant build derelict freighter rooms in your own freighter still rip

[gloomy isle]

I definitely will get stuck into this when the new expedition drops. I do wonder what 4.0 will be, too. This definitely feels pathfinder/ foundations scale

[vague oriole]

My ICE planet has the localised quicksand "feature"

HOW DOES AN ICE PLANET HAVE QUICKSAND

[rose vapor]

all my frighter upgrades are gone, i have to ujnlock them again, that sucks

[sullen hornet]

wet

[vague oriole]

That's a bug that will hopefully be fixed soon

Also fuck freighters

[celest saddle]

Is there only 1 settlement per planet?

[vague oriole]

Just place a base computer right outside a settlement

[vague oriole]

Aparently not

[celest saddle]

Because man my home-base got fucked with the settlement spawn

And my second map won't chart another

[vague oriole]

Someone in the hub server Said they found 2 in one planet

[celest saddle]

Because man, I want one on a paradise planet

Preferably where people won't get killed for living there

[foggy nymph]

can you have multiple settlements or only one?

[celest saddle]

1

[foggy nymph]

well rip geks on my toxic settlement

[rose vapor]

Difference between bases and Settlements?

[dense quartz]

Btw, is there any way to edit the settlement houses? I bought the parts but the menu doesn't let me build any of it

[gusty stream]

You can't edit it

It builds itself

[dense quartz]

👀

[sullen hornet]

if you build a base near the settlement, you can place your own parts though

you can make roads and add extra decor

[sand karma]

Question: I like the new walls with the adapting visuals for 1 high vs 2 or 3 etc. But is there any way to make them not do that? :3

[dense quartz]

Yeah one thing that sorta bugs me is that there's grass everywhere, you'd think that would be all stomped away 😄

[sullen hornet]

thats why i added roads with alloy floors

[gusty stream]

Oh you can? Epic

[vague oriole]

That's genius

[vague oriole]

No you can't

[lofty breach]

ok how the hell do i connect wires to a base in the new update?

a cylindrical room to be precise

[vague oriole]

You just press whatever button says for wiring

And then i think it works like it used to

[lofty breach]

aint doing that

wait

[sand karma]

OOF

[lofty breach]

it was the free placement

nvm i got it now

[sand karma]

The windows get covered by the thing from the wall below. Guess that's a bug? :3

[storm shell]

I can't build stairs lol

[indigo smelt]

Ooh, thats quite a modern building style.

Finally some very good building parts.

[sullen hornet]

@storm shell they only snap to walls it seems

[celest saddle]

I wonder if you can find a settlement in an abandoned system

[sand karma]

Oh yeah the base parts are awesome

[storm shell]

The ramp doesn't snap

[humble sorrel]

anybody know if there's multiple settlements on a single planet? how does it work?

[sullen hornet]

Do you have snap mode on?

[fair rivet]

@humble sorrel i can confirm that multiple settlements can occur on the same planet. My friend and i found each a unique settlement not super far from eachother

[cursive kernel]

How do you turn snap mode off
