nms-spoilers

[indigo smelt]

They appear more on paradise worlds.

I prefer to mix my materials because it looks better.

I could go with wooden floors inside, but for now I have alloy.

[storm shell]

Pretty happy with my stone house although i keep calling it a desert one lol

This was just a test one

[gusty stream]

God

[compact coyote]

Jesus Christ my debt is so bad

[gusty stream]

There's so many

New base parts

I'm overwhelmed

But what did it cost?

Y axis rotation

[storm shell]

My main base house is this one much more fleshed out than the other two

[gusty stream]

I'm actually very pissed off about Y axis removal

I hope it's temporary

[storm shell]

Yeah wanted to have the spark plugs as bottles for my bar , can't straighten them up sadly

Lol It sucks lol

Sorry about the two lols , my ocd is acting up lol

[indigo smelt]

Over 250 new parts.

Thats what the patch notes say.

[vocal berry]

How do you unlock the new parts?

Anomaly?

[cloud epoch]

yup

[vocal berry]

What currency do you have to pay in again

I haven’t had to do this for so long

[spice gorge]

Has anyone seen evidence that you can fly over a planet and just spot a new settlement? (Aside from the starter tutorial one.) Or, I wonder, if the use of a map in a system actually instantiates the settlement when read...

[cloud epoch]

some in blueprint comp as well, but i think anomaly also has all those

[vocal berry]

Do you need to pay with salvaged data?

[storm shell]

Salvage data

[vocal berry]

well thank god that I stockpiled a lot

Just in case this ever happened

[celest saddle]

Reminds me that I should dupe some

Give me smth to do while playing waiting simulator

[spice gorge]

What are you spending all this salvaged data on?

[storm shell]

Base parts

[celest saddle]

New base parts

[spice gorge]

I seem to already have the new parts -- I've used several

[storm shell]

Spent more than a hundred already lol and still haven't unlocked most of them lol

[cloud epoch]

any wood/metal/concrete parts u already had got the new versions unlocked

[vocal berry]

That shouldn’t be an issue for me hopefully, I have a crap ton of salvaged data in my vaults

[cloud epoch]

but there are more of the new ones than the old ones

so ur prolly missing some of the fancier bits

[vocal berry]

Can you still use wood/metal/concrete?

[spice gorge]

hmmmm

[storm shell]

Need like 215

[cloud epoch]

if u had them already

new saves wont be able to get them

[storm shell]

Yes

[vocal berry]

Shouldn’t be too much of an issue

Wait so if I have the blueprints to them I can still build with them?

[storm shell]

Just have had unlocked them before

[vocal berry]

Oh sick

I have all blueprints

[spice gorge]

I have all the wood / metal / concrete parts from earlier, but I noticed for the seemingly corresponding parts, the new fancier wood parts and the stone parts, I can use those right away. Is that what you are talking about, as far as new versions?

[cloud epoch]

yup

it's mentioned in the patch notes

[spice gorge]

I guess I should find some salvaged data.

[vocal berry]

Can someone give me a list of all the new expedition items you can get from the quicksilver dude

[cloud epoch]

more roofs than old ones had tho https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/345378190568587275/882575010328371261/unknown.png

that's just for alloy

timber and stone are the same amount

[storm shell]

Some roofs are weird lol lol lol

[vocal berry]

I’m still gonna get them all just because why not

How much salvaged data did you say we would need if we had all the previous base parts?

Like 200?

[cloud epoch]

i need to play with the context aware building stuff, that seems pretty neat

[storm shell]

Snapping?

Or something else?

[celest saddle]

I think my settlement is planning a reform against me

[vocal berry]

I can’t wait for the expedition, I wonder when it’s gonna start

[vocal berry]

I really want to get the biological horror companion

[celest saddle]

These thoughts worry me

[wind anchor]

At what point can I look for another settlement in a better location? After I clear the sentinels from the first or do I need to become the overseer?

[vocal berry]

I wonder if we can resequence a biological horror

[storm shell]

Procedurally generated?

[celest saddle]

Probably

[storm shell]

Why the fuck is your one so bright?

Mine is gloomy as fuck

[storm shell]

Ah that

[storm shell]

You can just restart the mission if you want to if you are far away enough

[wind anchor]

Hmm... this first mission one is already someone else's settlement. What then?

[celest saddle]

Citizens

"Has not forgotten, Is planning something big"

"Unimpressed by overseer"

Me: "I'm sorry I can't do anything"

[cloud epoch]

cage match obv

[ember grotto]

Is the mission just to run the colony or am I doing more things?

[vocal berry]

I wonder if we can improve the classes of our settlements

[celest saddle]

You can

[cloud epoch]

they improve

[storm shell]

Go far far away

[celest saddle]

Mine upgraded from a C to a B

[storm shell]

And restart it

[vocal berry]

Oh how do you do that?

[celest saddle]

Idk

I sent my people on an expedition and it leveled up

[storm shell]

Mine was already at b when i got it lol lol lol

[celest saddle]

So was mine

But I relocated

Because the planet sucked

[vocal berry]

Is it possible to get a settlement on a specific planet? Like I want to get a settlement on my home planet

[storm shell]

Mine sucks to lol but I'm gonna keep sticking to it lol

[ember grotto]

Is the mission just to run the settlement or am I doing more things?

[wind anchor]

At what point did you relocate? After taking control as overseer or before?

[celest saddle]

After

[storm shell]

Here is mine , gloomy as fuck inside

[celest saddle]

I switched colonies

[compact coyote]

Yeah can you have a settlement on a specific planet?

[cloud epoch]

From the notes:

Three new construction sets have been added – timber, stone, and alloy. While still versatile and easy to snap, these new sets are much higher detail and more visually diverse than the previous basic sets.

These sets replace the old wood, concrete and metal sets. The older sets are no longer available to learn, but will be kept for existing players.

Players who have already researched pieces from the old sets will be awarded parts from the new set for free. The new sets are significantly larger, so be sure to visit the Construction Research Station on the Space Anomaly to browse the full set.

[wind anchor]

This is frustrating. The first two have been bugged. First settlement wasn't available (kept sending me to other systems) and this one is already claimed by another player (can't take control).

[celest saddle]

Yesn't

They aren't guaranteed to spawn on the planet you want them to

But they can

[storm shell]

Jump in a black hole

[cloud epoch]

yeah maps seem pretty dodgy for finding them, only lead to one per system feels like

[celest saddle]

This is what I settled with

Don't have to worry about bad weather ever

[vocal berry]

I want to get my settlement on my lush planet

[celest saddle]

That's where mine is

[storm shell]

Nice , korvax right?

[celest saddle]

It took a few hours to find the right one

[celest saddle]

Yeah

Depression levels critical though

[storm shell]

For alloy settlements fit with more extreme , hazardous and stormy basically dangerous planets and stone ones are basically desert houses and the wooden ones would look great on lush ones

[celest saddle]

And I can't really do anything to fix it

[dusky roost]

has anyone gotten max size for their settlement? wonder how big they can get

[storm shell]

I'm still in debt lol

[celest saddle]

Pretty sure everyone is

[cloud epoch]

oh neat ur actually making money

[celest saddle]

Is there a way that the settlement stats get adjusted over time?

[storm shell]

Judging by the circle at least 220

[cloud epoch]

yes, as u build stuff and people arrive or u buy upggrades

[storm shell]

Show off your new bases people

[celest saddle]

I think by the end we should get a full on city

[cloud epoch]

no bases now, only settlements

[celest saddle]

Albeit you can't do anything with it

Except gawk at it I guess

Definitely a missed opportunity to add unique vendors

[storm shell]

I've remade one

[cloud epoch]

my base is literllay 10 storage cubes and all npcs in one room

[storm shell]

Built 3 houses on it

[compact coyote]

I have LOTS of work to do

[storm shell]

Here is the main house

[storm shell]

Bruh what's up with the vibrancy , my eyes hurt lol lol lol

[winter radish]

I have a glitch with planetary exchange vaults: I input one item, it gives me two items back

[cloud epoch]

graphics settings or hdr im guessing

[compact coyote]

I took it with my phone

[cloud epoch]

im curious what the hidden timer is on non building stuff in base, expeditions, disputes, new settlers etc...

[storm shell]

Well turn down the vibrancy if you can please

[compact coyote]

I think I found the town hall

Pretty cool stuff

[storm shell]

I'm kinda proud of my new main house , looks cool

[cloud epoch]

im just hype i can shove pillars under things with no clipping mode now lol

[spice gorge]

@storm shell In 20 mins I just acquired 60 salvaged data -- it's pretty quick, ya know.

[cloud epoch]

no more levitating base parts

[storm shell]

Well i couldn't find shit lol lol lol

[storm shell]

You could do that already tho

[spice gorge]

depends on planet also surely

[cloud epoch]

some stuff, and it could get tricky with positioning

[storm shell]

On one Paradise planet i couldn't any at all

[celest saddle]

Bruh I swear every thought I see going on with my settlers is either anti overseer or suicidal, this is just depressing

I wonder if it's influenced correlation to debt or directly due to happiness levels

[vocal berry]

Lmao

[celest saddle]

And it's not like I can do anything about it

[cloud epoch]

prolly starting happiness level

[gusty stream]

Holy shit my game data corrupted but my console saved it

[cloud epoch]

should resolve over time as u upgrade

[celest saddle]

Because everything your settlement needs to do is based off your citizens

[gusty stream]

I'm putting this game down

It's too unstable atm

[celest saddle]

And holy shit my citizens refuse to even approach about anything

I haven't had a request since the expedition 2 hours ago

[cloud epoch]

yeah i dont know what the timer/cooldown is like on those

ive had one stranger selling stuff, one dispute, and two expeditions

[vocal berry]

I have nothing because I haven’t logged on yet

[celest saddle]

I had one stranger asking to borrow a ship, one dispute over a knife that I was wondering would either end well or result in a stabbing , and one expedition for plotting charts that ended up giving me nanites instead

[spice gorge]

That was 60 new items purchased -- that's a lot of times for that sqwshh-pwaanng!!! sound over and over in the Anomaly lol

Those posters are awesome

As are the house items

[cyan crane]

Hey so how far along in a statement had anyone be gotten? I've made 3 or 4 decisions. A few hours ago.

[spice gorge]

plates, cups, etc.

[cloud epoch]

just waiting on my tower to finish phase 2

[severe sun]

How much salvage data needed?

[spice gorge]

Like 1 each per item

oddly cheap

[cyan crane]

I bought every single new thing for like 180

[severe sun]

Oof

I only have 20

[celest saddle]

Still haven't even gotten a construction project yet

[spice gorge]

Why are there so many ! next to my parts -- parts I do have blueprints for?? Others see this?

[spice gorge]

That seems about right

[celest saddle]

I wonder if your debt has to clear before you can keep doing stuff

[cloud epoch]

yeah i had that just run the mouse over them

[severe sun]

Doesn't that mean they're new?

[spice gorge]

No

I can use them

Some are very old parts

swivel chairs

bed

worktop

[severe sun]

I mean, the parts are newly acquired (as far as the ui is concerned anyway)

[spice gorge]

I've had blueprints for those since Foundation.

[cloud epoch]

blake do u still have a lot of stuff missing in the catalogue menu?

[severe sun]

But only the ui for 6 hours

[spice gorge]

As in never used since Frontiers was loaded?

that would be true

But if I'm the only one seeing this - someone let me know...

[cloud epoch]

nah i had the exclams on old stuff as well

[spice gorge]

cool

[cyan crane]

My settlement glitched or so I thought. Went c to an s class after building office with two hours with no decision m I'm on my second seems stuck at office, a building and tow disputes.

[spice gorge]

didn't want some glitched save crapola

[celest saddle]

What the fuck

How

[indigo smelt]

Hmm, does the building on the right jinx the other? This building style seems like a fine line to walk.

[celest saddle]

Well, GG on first ever S tier I guess

Also man, my settlement has such a nice overview

[cloud epoch]

nice crater lake

[indigo smelt]

That planet looks a bit familiar lol.

[celest saddle]

It's just a temperate planet I discovered

[uncut harness]

hi all

the quest keeps putting the marker on 1 system then back to the 1 I came from when I jump

[cyan crane]

I'm so fucking butt hurt by settlements being buggy 😮‍💨 I get it. I get everything, day one of update, it's shitty.. but this is extra shitty. I wanna power through this mother fucker but the game just wants me too sit 😕😭😂

[uncut harness]

I cant even find a settlement cause the quest says to keep jumping between 2 systems

[spice gorge]

What's up with power wires? And my cuboid place is no longer wired.

Running a wire from battery to the cuboid building, there's no snap points on either side

[cyan crane]

Hey!

Anybody notice the timer for production?

[cloud epoch]

timer for production of?

[cold panther]

so do most settlements start with 1 positive and 4 negative stats?

been that way for the first two i went to

[supple crater]

The whole idea is that you improve a settlement that's kind of in shambles so they all start poorly in some way.

[spice gorge]

Man, that carpet just brings the room together!

[supple crater]

OH MY GOD I've wanted carpets and such for my tiny base

Thank goodness

[cloud epoch]

pretty sure ur the first to get out of debt lol

[indigo smelt]

Such a shame that the wooden floors have edges. When you put laminate flooring in your house, wouldn't you want an uninterupted line?

[cyan crane]

What if that timer is what's stopping from decisions coming up?

[uncut harness]

how do you find the settlements? the quest just makes me jump between 2 places

[cloud epoch]

dont think so, just a long random cooldown prolly

[cold panther]

you can buy maps from the cartographer

[glass flare]

yeah i think the update notes said decisions happened "every few hours"

aka more timers

[quasi mantle]

I left the Anomaly -- the sound was still ringing

I landed on the planet -- sqwsh-pwaang!

I went to the settlement to resolve a dispute -- yet more parts unlocked notification!

Pretty funny imo. 😆

[spice gorge]

And the tableware!

[supple crater]

I'm trying very hard not to play the game, pls

[icy citrus]

ugh

[spice gorge]

I'm not going to worry about save glitches, for better or worse

[icy citrus]

I just backed up my saves

so no worries here

[spice gorge]

I did that also

Just wasted time at worst

[icy citrus]

yep

[spice gorge]

That Exp patch fixed my building block glitch fwiw

[icy citrus]

Oh cool

[storm shell]

I built myself a bar

[spice gorge]

Assume that will move to public quite soon

[supple crater]

Just wanna wait a day or two for some hotfixes, then I'll go ham

[storm shell]

What does the sign mean tho lol

The update actually got me into base building

[cyan crane]

Ok. You can't force decisions coming to your panel. If you try to past time, this production timer turns off and everything is at a stand still and so if they come every few hours real time.. I fucking reloaded and lost an s class settlement 😮‍💨 again I do something stupid because we literally are fucking pioneers 🔥😁😏

[storm shell]

Zug what is up with your profile picture?

[nocturne zephyr]

i know right

[quasi mantle]

If I'm reading correctly, it reads...

"The Nieyiee" ???

[storm shell]

Is it your art?

[quasi mantle]

Or "The Nie Tree"
Hard to tell with that separation between letters

[modest crest]

I just submitted my feedback on their Zendesk. Let them know if youre so inclined! They are the few devs that ACTUALLY consider feedback. https://hellogames.zendesk.com/ @timid mist

[storm shell]

So the bar is called nieyiee or nie tree i guess

[icy citrus]

No

[spice gorge]

Anyone else notice on PC with controller that in placing building items (building inside, decorating) you kind of keep sliding off in the direction you moved?

[icy citrus]

The Nip Tree

[spice gorge]

I have to keep correcting that

[modest crest]

Be sure to let them know here if you havent already https://hellogames.zendesk.com/

[storm shell]

Ay yo I'm an alcoholic not nip addict lol

[glass flare]

the font is the same as used on the station control panel. there doesn't appear to be any translation for it yet, or it might just be gibberish

[icy citrus]

There is a translation actually

[modest crest]

I'd stop playing lol

[glass flare]

how?

[icy citrus]

The first Expedition started us on the path

[quasi mantle]

Hard to distinguish between E and P thanks to the light glow, I guess >.<

[mental socket]

those are the upcoming QS items. Bubble glass pipes from anomaly

[icy citrus]

Pioneers was in glyph form

[modest crest]

No because those timers were Nightmarish too

That Part.

[glass flare]

ah, didn't do those.

[storm shell]

Imagine they add mosquitoes in nms, but aren't they basically sentinels

[modest crest]

YES!!! LOL

[icy citrus]

Why? You didnt have to sit and watch the clock during that

[craggy sigil]

so my settlement has been on "running smoothly" for a while
is there any way to trigger more events?

[modest crest]

THIS

[icy citrus]

We are only missing like 4 letters

[modest crest]

Sucks that was the only humane way tho

[quasi mantle]

J, Q, X and Z
Plus all the numbers beyond 0 and 1 but who needs those when we have BINARY

[modest crest]

mine too lol

[spice gorge]

@icy citrus Posting to #nms-photomode-gallery with Spoiler enabled seems fine?

[icy citrus]

You can just post them there at this point

[spice gorge]

ok

[modest crest]

I didnt. I dont think a game should make me grind then wait to grind to put an item in my inventory. Waiting is not fun. So I didnt.

[icy citrus]

We arent letting any that get 5 through until tomorrow (MOSTLY)

Oh caps

[icy citrus]

I didnt consider finding a bit of resources grinding personally

[viscid plover]

how do i build another building?

[icy citrus]

But i getcha

[modest crest]

Good thing you have your own opinion too

[icy citrus]

Everyone does

[modest crest]

Then we agree

[timid mist]

Mine is that timers are lame 🙂

[icy citrus]

Mine is that people lack patience

[timid mist]

Kind of condescending but that's up to you

[viscid plover]

@icy citrus i like to play a game not wait hahha

[icy citrus]

Same

[modest crest]

Not fair to say to those who are day 1 players. We know patience AND faith.

[icy citrus]

Im day one

[modest crest]

Fax lol

[viscid plover]

this is some mobile game timed bullshit hhaah

[timid mist]

Easier to just call people impatient though

[modest crest]

So am I. And I absolutely have patience.

[icy citrus]

Yep, cause you literally can be doing a hundred other things

But just cant be asked to

[modest crest]

Fax Z. Fax.

[timid mist]

Lol alright sure

[viscid plover]

feel sorry for the people who maybe work busy jobs or are students and have to sit around in the precious hours they have

[cyan crane]

This is going to be a test of patience

[glass flare]

I think the problem lies with the fact that the base level of "things to do" at the settlement is low; that feeds into frustration about the time gating

[modest crest]

Say twice to make it nice(r) lol

[icy citrus]

I love how if you agree with the general opinion its totally cool, but if you dont its a crime and you are wrong

Timers are fine

[viscid plover]

we can disagree lol nobody is saying you are wrong lmao

[timid mist]

? no ones saying wrong, just disagreeing lol

[fringe notch]

My settlement is just going to have to get used to my attention when I feel like it

[modest crest]

YES! I just wanted more to do in settlements. But there was nothing BUT wait.

[timid mist]

its not a personal attack

you're the one calling others impatient for not agreeing with you

[icy citrus]

No, im calling them impatient for lacking patience in this specific case

[fringe notch]

*folds hands *

[viscid plover]

patience in deez nuts

[icy citrus]

Great response

[fringe notch]

Oh shoosh scoobert

[viscid plover]

[timid mist]

It's not about patience, if you ignore all nuance in the situation it's easy to be reductive and disrespectful

[fringe notch]

Id have to try the timers to really judge myself

[icy citrus]

It is about patience, because the issue is waiting

[timid mist]

Plenty of thoughtful discussion here and you just pop in with "just impatient" with no extra input

No, you're deciding it's about patience without believing anyones actual opinions and feedback lol

[icy citrus]

Thoughtful discussion being TIMERS SUCK

I play to play

lol

[timid mist]

Oh my god

remembering why i left this fucking place

[fringe notch]

That is a bit rough of a response Singular. I mean your opinion is noted of course.

[spice gorge]

I think these timers are reasonable -- stretches out the experience. You can do other things while waiting, like gather Salvaged Data, explore, etc.

[viscid plover]

so how long does my base run smoothly before i can build another building

[fallen bluff]

but the experience shouldnt need to be stretched

timers bad

[icy citrus]

lol

[rancid ether]

Belittling a differing opinion is actually what you are doing right now though.

[fringe notch]

Truthfully, If the general majority of players find the timers to long, they need to be balanced, unless there is a gameplay reason of course.

[modest crest]

If you scroll up you will see that you came after my statement. Im fully accepting how you feel. You just seem to have trouble accepting other views.

[fringe notch]

That being said, balancing timers is tricky

[viscid plover]

its called padding lmao

[fallen bluff]

there's always mods to remove the timers

but still

[icy citrus]

Nope, you can feel that way

[fallen bluff]

shouldnt have to resort to modding to deal with bad game design

[rancid ether]

The gameplay reason is...buildings take time to build, eggs take time to develop, parts take time to grow, etc

[trim dune]

Don't add them in the first place? 🙂

[icy citrus]

I said how i feel, and its immediate scoffing and dismissal from most

[viscid plover]

ive done everything in the game i have unlimited money i thought this update would allow me to experience something new and engaging. Instead while im waiting ive to do the stuff ive done for hundreds of hours already

[modest crest]

that would be great but im on PS5. No mods for us unfortunately

[lusty patrol]

Timers should be reasonable for an average gamer. Probably 2-6 hours depending on development stage

[modest crest]

BINGO!

[rancid ether]

And as stated, theres 16 other updates filled with random other stuff to play with in the meantime, but thats apparently not what players are interested in.

[fringe notch]

Well, there has to be some time sink. Games have to have a means to feel like you worked for something. Whether that timer is material collection, or time passage.

[fallen bluff]

best of both worlds would be paying extra to skip the timer but even thats kind of stupid

[fringe notch]

That being said, time passage is easier to hard set

so people cant work around them

[fallen bluff]

ok but ive done all the stuff from the other 16 updates

[fringe notch]

Not to say I cant just mod the timers out...

[viscid plover]

ive done everything in this game lol

[glass flare]

To reiterate, I think the fact that people are finding friction with timers is because there is a lack of base gameplay systems to interact with at the settlements currently. The fact that the settlements experience is mainly derived from unlocking components is probably a design issue, and shouldn't be handwaved away as being impatient.

[rancid ether]

So was the game worthless before today then?

Was 16 updates not enough?

[fringe notch]

I agree Solar

[modest crest]

I agree. Just balance them if Devs feel they are NEEDED. But 4+ hours for one building??? bit much. This isnt a mobie game.

[fallen bluff]

im not going to argue with someone that is putting words in my mouth

[modest crest]

10000%

[icy citrus]

Now that is a actual discussion point

[uncut harness]

my last building took a total of 6 hours to finish

that was not fun to wait for and then have zero to do after it was done?

[rancid ether]

The mobile game would have nothing else to do during that 4+ hours. Theres an entire game left to mess with during the wait.

[gloomy isle]

Did zoid leave again

[modest crest]

Ouch.

[icy citrus]

That is what he does when someone does his tactics to him

[gloomy isle]

I'm staying well out of this and not taking sides

[modest crest]

I shouldnt have to replay old content I have put 100's of hours into, so I can get drip fed new content.

[lusty patrol]

I mean I kinda like the idea

[modest crest]

Why are you being antagonistic?

[icy citrus]

lmao

[lusty patrol]

I play off and on and something like this let’s me go find something better

I just traded until I got my S class drop ship and I’ve been cruising around

[icy citrus]

totally

[civic sedge]

what do settlements do after you ve built them up?

[lusty patrol]

You’re literally building a town with issues

[storm shell]

Drop ship?

[lusty patrol]

Supposedly give you resources

[lusty patrol]

Yeah let me find it

[civic sedge]

no other interactions like trade etc?

[uncut harness]

sorry I missed it if someone answered earlier but does anyone know if you can find more than one settlement in the same system?

[lusty patrol]

Oh sorry they’re called haulers

[uncut harness]

I don't like the planet my settlement is on and want to find another

[rancid ether]

If you only came back to the game for this content, no one was expecting you to put in another 100 hours.
This is why they made Expeditions new saves. Old players were just logging in for 10 hours every update, saying "is that it" and going back into hibernation.

[uncut harness]

@icy citrus 👀

[storm shell]

No

[gloomy isle]

I feel like I'll enjoy it when I bet round to starting again. I do wish that instead of such a long timer, I could be more involved, though

Even if it took the same amount of time

[lusty patrol]

I would love to farm money again but I’d have to see if trading is still worth it

[gloomy isle]

Especially when I can build bigger structures very quickly

[lusty patrol]

Or put more resources into it to lower the timer

8 hour base, put resources in, timer is now 3-4 hours

[viscid plover]

has anyone made more than one building?

[fallen bluff]

this i would be fine with

[modest crest]

Do you feel this is about being expected to return or add new content? If it was for new players only it wasnt marketed properly.

[storm shell]

@lusty patrol where drop ship ?

[modest crest]

Expeditions was marketed for those who wanted to start over.

[lusty patrol]

Hauler

I misspoke

[storm shell]

Ah sorry didn't see the message

[indigo smelt]

Well then, finally going out of debt soon with the settlement. If only I could wipe away/replace a few negative features.

[lusty patrol]

Haunted —> fight the ghosts in hand to hand combat

Build a ghost busters vacuum

[indigo smelt]

No, I got undrinkable water.

[lusty patrol]

Oh that’s fine just park your ship on the pipes and turn the thrusters on. Boil for about 10-15 seconds 🤣

[nocturne zephyr]

si

[indigo smelt]

Lol.

[trim dune]

Korvax settlements having undrinkable water... hmmm

ok

[indigo smelt]

Apparently.

[storm shell]

Nice, a little bit disturbing and horrifying and scary tho

[viscid plover]

all i got in mine is a saloon where my korvax dance in lmao

[indigo smelt]

Lol.

[hearty karma]

Do the cafes/saloons in settlements actually sell food products?

[storm shell]

I built a marketplace instead of a saloon lol

[storm shell]

Don't think so, probably not , since my marketplace doesn't sell shit

[indigo smelt]

If only I could make my minions pops have a little more disputes.

[hearty karma]

Really? Wow

[indigo smelt]

Yeah, no one sells anything.

[viscid plover]

i kinda regret it it does literally nothing rn

[storm shell]

Yeah lol

[nocturne zephyr]

thank you

[trim dune]

i wish settlements had more purpose outside building/managing them

[scarlet spire]

Anyone got screenshots of defensive structures yet?

[indigo smelt]

Settlements could have more character maybe?

[trim dune]

i want them to be like a "pit stop" for explorers

with different activities to do

[fallen bluff]

oh also

anyone know how to ditch a settlement

[trim dune]

have a reason to visit them outside of managing them

just claim a new one

[uncut harness]

I want to make a race near mine

[fallen bluff]

i see

ty

time to find a snowy korvax settlement

[uncut harness]

silence I guess is a no @fallen bluff

[fallen bluff]

hm?

[modest crest]

What are your thoughts on that? What could improve in your opinion?

[uncut harness]

you asked how to ditch a settlement

[trim dune]

yes, you can claim a new one

[fallen bluff]

what does 'silence i guess is a no' have to do with that

[trim dune]

other one gets abandoned

[storm shell]

Claim a new one

[fallen bluff]

thanks g but ive already been told that

have people become illiterate

[uncut harness]

nobody replied chill out...

[modest crest]

I like the debt and defense aspect... it just needs more depth

[fallen bluff]

except someone did reply

[pale abyss]

is there a way to build in the settlement to expand it?

[scarlet spire]

Any examples of the defense aspect?

[uncut harness]

ahh he didn't reply specifically so didn't know it was meant for you

[storm shell]

Ain't you a bit rude?

[uncut harness]

there is no way to ditch one you have to switch it for a new one

[sullen hornet]

the defense involves shooting sentinels

[uncut harness]

bit more like extremely

[fallen bluff]

yes, they already said that

[thin wave]

RemoveBaseBuildingRestrictions is gone sadge

[scarlet spire]

I'm trying to find pictures of the turret defences etc, while I'm waiting on download

[uncut harness]

sorry you're in serious need of a hug

[scarlet spire]

I'm getting concerned there isn't any

[modest crest]

I know the update just dropped today, so there is alot to be discovered. But I'd imagine that your buildings could get raided for resources and you'd have to build REAL defenses like turrets and not just "signal jammers" so to speak

[viscid plover]

I've asked this already so apologies if it's annoying but is anyone else stuck after building their first building? No prompts to build another or anything

[modest crest]

I fought some on foot at the beginning! The new sentinel designs are bad ass!

[cloud epoch]

pretty sure there arent any actual turrets

[storm shell]

Just wait a bit

[fallen bluff]

the corrupted sentinels?

[cloud epoch]

i got a defensive shield but it's just a stat bonus, no actual thing around the settlement

[fallen bluff]

theyve been in the game for a while

[viscid plover]

Ive waited hours now lol

[indigo smelt]

I wonder why the settlement was settled in the first place. Combine procgen lore with procgen events, that’s my idea.

[storm shell]

It doesn't give you prompts for a while

[scarlet spire]

Oh that'd be pretty disappointing if accurate, but early days I guess

[viscid plover]

Even moved time forward a day

[icy citrus]

Thats a nice idea

[modest crest]

If it doesnt happen after some time there is a hotfix inbound https://steamcommunity.com/app/275850/discussions/0/3044984779763588501/?fbclid=IwAR22w0kwxSFK8Cg9xeq4xVGL9zbgZj6otqsHCerzC-f-leZ8S6KMsykUMRM

[storm shell]

They brain dead?

[trim dune]

Proc gen lore like derelicts

[scarlet spire]

Seems like a missed opportunity aesthetically

[cloud epoch]

they were settled so seans face would quit getting put in terrifying places in game

[storm shell]

Looks like your settlement died somehow

You should report it to hg

[viscid plover]

bruh

[indigo smelt]

That tech yes.

[modest crest]

Proced lore! I love it! Like a fleshed out version of what we get with scanable flora and fauna

[viscid plover]

wait is the hotfix available?

on beta

[trim dune]

experimental

yea

[modest crest]

Yep!

[viscid plover]

oh thank god

[cloud epoch]

two experimentals in the same day damn lol

[viscid plover]

lmaoo this update is buggy af

i cant even buy frigates or do frigate expeditions

[modest crest]

I got a logistics Centre that reduced my debt 50K! Wasnt a physical building added 😦

[trim dune]

the more they add to the game, the more bugs will be sadly

[cloud epoch]

entropy will do that

[modest crest]

yeah frigates are borked

[fallen bluff]

are settlements findable with maps

[storm shell]

Yes

[fallen bluff]

word

[modest crest]

but im ok with the bugs because its day 1...just dont let it be day 300 lol

[cloud epoch]

maps seem to only point to one in a system tho

[scarlet spire]

That would make the upgrade feel kinda empty to me

[trim dune]

sure... why not?

[fallen bluff]

what map category are they under

because im going to go and spam maps on this one planet and hope 😎

[cloud epoch]

their own, cost 5 data

[fallen bluff]

ah neat

[trim dune]

there's one per planet right?

[modest crest]

it was. sadly. Aside from the reduction in debt. And the only reason I noticed it was because I like accounting.

[uncut harness]

from what I've found after using 40 maps you can't find more than one settlement per system

[fallen bluff]

were you in atmosphere

or space

[storm shell]

Only one per system

[uncut harness]

not using maps anyones maybe if you find it by flying around in the wild

[fallen bluff]

oh excellent

[modest crest]

Ive read 1 per system. and thats rare. some have had to jump several systems to find 1

[trim dune]

nice, i'm glad that they are rarer

makes them more unique

[thin wave]

RemoveBaseBuildingRestrictions doesnt seem to work anymore with the new build menu

[uncut harness]

and it doesn't guarantee a settlement each time you use a map sometimes you'll have to use 3-5 maps to proc one

[trim dune]

yea

[chrome eagle]

Is there any rhyme or reason to when the distress call trigger can happen?

[modest crest]

I spawned in at the Nexus and as soon as I left I got 2 distress signals. The first one I went to was a settlement.

[chrome eagle]

Like, only after a certain point in the story or after certain missions are completed?

[trim dune]

it also goes well with the lore... with the sentinels

[modest crest]

would it tho? The only reason why Im think is because every "undiscovered" planet we have ever found already had merchants on it lmao

[modest crest]

This is very true

[fallen bluff]

these settlement maps seem borked

lets go 😎

[icy citrus]

Ive heard reports of multiple settlements on one planet

So not sure there is just one per system

Just repeating comments though, havent got to play much yet

[burnt hollow]

I'd love to find more settlements but after the first one the settlement map is bugged for me and just doesn't map it

[fallen bluff]

likewise

[burnt hollow]

That being said, also very unimpressed with settlements. Glorified POIs and a somehow more boring freighter

[storm shell]

Has anyone found a s class settlement?

[fallen bluff]

urghhhhh found the perfect planet and the settlement isnt on it

mountainous, cold and has water

[viscid plover]

i downloaded experimental and now no mans sky has a content file locked error bruuhhh

[fallen bluff]

• korvax

[modest crest]

damn that sucks

[burnt hollow]

settlements don't make sense for the lore, but I think that part of the lore was largely created to be an excuse as to why there are no cities/civilizations

[fallen bluff]

oh wow new build menu is nice

[uncut harness]

Okay thanks to @fallen bluff I just went into a planets atmosphere and tried more maps and got a second settlement in the say system as one I already am Overseer over

[modest crest]

Would be cool if we had a beacon that would call settlers to come settle in place we were building from the modular parts.

[fallen bluff]

lets go

right well i guess im spamming maps on this planet

and hoping

[storm shell]

How the fuck did you get into the Cult of Dave?

[uncut harness]

dang I can't share screen shots uhm

[modest crest]

sounds like a confirmation to what @icy citrus stated

[uncut harness]

exactly it is but I wouldn't have tried it unless @fallen bluff asked if I did it in space or at the planet

[viscid plover]

@storm shell idk i just put it in hahaha

[icy citrus]

Cool, thanks for the info

[viscid plover]

is it special?

[storm shell]

Get to familiar , to check your xp type .xp in the #bot-spam channel , level 5 is familiar

[storm shell]

Only you and dave have it , i think

[gloomy isle]

What actually is the cult of dave

[viscid plover]

lol

[modest crest]

got it! I didnt see his message Thanks to you both as well @fallen bluff

[uncut harness]

lv. 4 69/72

[storm shell]

A few more messages and you'll get there

[modest crest]

Jp resisting urge to spam

lol

[viscid plover]

@storm shell who is dave anyway

[storm shell]

[viscid plover]

i cant even tell what that is

[heady wyvern]

It's him

Dave

[storm shell]

Praying mantis I think

[viscid plover]

i literally put .iam Cult of Dave does it not work for anyone else?

[storm shell]

Nah it works for everyone else too , just no one chooses it

[viscid plover]

i am special

[uncut harness]

Now I'm trying to figure out how to get it to locate me another one because now it just keeps refinding the one I just found again >_<

[storm shell]

One per system i think

[uncut harness]

but I just found a second in the same system

thats why I wanted to show a screen shot

[storm shell]

You can send one now

[uncut harness]

two settlements in same system on two different planets

WOO HOO I'm evel 5

left planet has newly found settlement right planet has the one I'm overseer of

[storm shell]

Huh

[fallen bluff]

currently trying to find a system that sells nav data since im all out

and i want to spam maps

[cyan crane]

Yes multiple settlements a system and even friends having neighboing settlements on planet confirmed.

[sullen hornet]

I can't place any of the hangings in the correct orientation

Since they removed all rotation except for x axis

[storm shell]

Yeah it's fucked

[fallen bluff]

any idea if settlement charts are in the purchase random map pool

[uncut harness]

Did I find home? (The Right Channel) lol
My settlement finished the first b uilding / market and for the last 3 hours nothing. Curious if there is a hidden timer waiting for who knows how long until something else I can do with it

[twilit turtle]

yea same here, no events too after 3 appeared

[visual trench]

Two settlements don't work

[uncut harness]

had a dispute to fix, had to determine to throw a party or not and built my first building

[visual trench]

and don't build a second one, it breaks everything

[uncut harness]

@visual trench located a second but it had already been 3 hours since nothing to do in my first

[fallen bluff]

love having the settlement charts do nothing

[visual trench]

I skipped time for 14days AND I still can't build the first option after the overseer building

600k debt though lol

[celest saddle]

Man my people hate me

Also, been about 6 hours now and still haven't gotten a request to do anything else

Gonna see if tomorrow has anything and then I'll know whether it's bugged or debt related

[visual trench]

hopefully fix comes tomorrow

It's 100% bugged

[celest saddle]

Well mine is actually producing money, so idk

[fallen bluff]

nowhere seems to sell nav data and its doing my head in

[celest saddle]

Yeah and the cubes are nowhere to be seen on space stations

[fallen bluff]

my stockpile got wiped out after i had to buy like 50 maps for something i cant remember

[celest saddle]

I had to save scum my only map

Until i found a sertlement

[fallen bluff]

thats intelligent why am i not doing that

[visual trench]

there are no better settlements than b class btw

[celest saddle]

Someone here has an s class

[storm shell]

The prompts randomly pop so gotta wait i guess

[fallen bluff]

its not the class im worried about its the location and race etc

[storm shell]

Who?

I want to see it

[uncut harness]

I want to see an S class settlement too

[celest saddle]

#nms-spoilers message

[storm shell]

I want to see how big it is

[celest saddle]

It was a glitch

Or smth

[visual trench]

Wtf? Ye who, from what I understood it gets upgrades the more buildings you have

[uncut harness]

I just hit 25 systems and highest I saw in each was B

[storm shell]

How big is it?

[storm shell]

Oof forgot about that

[visual trench]

lmao 10mio debt

[celest saddle]

"Time until cleared, indefinite"

I noticed it mentions "reduce debris"

How tf do we do that

And where is said debris

[modest crest]

My planet farts and makes my settlers unhappy. I doubt I can do anything about it lol

[celest saddle]

Just fart harder until they stop bitching

[modest crest]

Yo are you sure that isnt reduce, Debt?

[celest saddle]

Or give them matches

[celest saddle]

Bruh I'm dyslexic apparently

Also that resident number seems like the hella lie

55 supposed residents when I've seen a collective 6 or 7

[modest crest]

LMAO nah it happens. You see that I believed you right? Because its believable.

[storm shell]

What the fuck?

10 mill?

[modest crest]

"I LIKE MATCHES!"

[celest saddle]

I wouldn't trust my settlers with matches

They're planning to overthrow me as we speak

[icy citrus]

Lol

[sullen hornet]

I'm at 10 mil debt as well

[icy citrus]

Ugh I need to go play

[sullen hornet]

I can't build any more buildings yet so i stay in dett

[visual trench]

You skipped time?

[sullen hornet]

Yea

[celest saddle]

I'm dead serious too

These mofos want me gone

[sullen hornet]

For the utility building and the marketplace

[fallen bluff]

alright time to save scum until the map decides to work 😎

[visual trench]

Me too and I don't even have one building, idk what to do

[celest saddle]

"Not plotting anything" is the sketches thing ever

[celest saddle]

What kind of planet you looking for?

[modest crest]

lmao

[fallen bluff]

cold, preferably with water, korvax system

ideally a moon but ill take a planet too

[celest saddle]

Look for an F0 then

As a bit of advice

[supple crater]

Mood

[cloud epoch]

no water on moons 😭

[fallen bluff]

my stellar class knowledge is nonexistent so thanks

[celest saddle]

Might help you save some time

[fallen bluff]

hence why i said preferably

[storm shell]

How many hours or days did you skip?

[fallen bluff]

ill take a moon w/o water if it happens

[icy citrus]

Big mood

[celest saddle]

0 means coldest, 9 means hottest

[cloud epoch]

i miss my old watery moon with heridium pillars lol

[visual trench]

I skipped 14days and only have 500k debt, he must have skipped an entire year lmao

[celest saddle]

Honestly, I probably should skip

Since mine is making money

And makes more than the costs

[storm shell]

Yeah , good choice

[visual trench]

allright 1h real time waiting and I still can't build shit

[celest saddle]

Makes 241k a day with a daily cost of 209k. Currently actively manufacturing

My only thing is that idk how to time skip on ps5 if you even can adjust the clock

[cloud epoch]

i think my tower 2nd phase build borked. should have been another 2 hours. so im now either redoing phase 2 or doing phase 3 lol

[sullen hornet]

@storm shell like 14 hours total worth of waiting

[celest saddle]

HG, "Pay off Debt Now" feature when?

[fallen bluff]

according to wiki 0 would be hottest, 9 would be coldest

[visual trench]

Can you make a screenshot of your settlement overview

[celest saddle]

Yeah mb I got them a little mixed

[storm shell]

??? How much is the maintenance cost?

[celest saddle]

Have been farming 456 all day

Because paradise

[sullen hornet]

I built 2 buildings, it really wasn't that much

256k maintenance cost

[cyan crane]

First one was a bugged save. Second is my current progress, 3 hrs since last decision after making 4.

[sullen hornet]

It's s class somehoe

[fallen bluff]

there we go

cold planet with water

[modest crest]

WHICH HOE?

[fallen bluff]

korvax system

feels good

[sullen hornet]

It's got 61 ppls in mine

[crystal arch]

So no substantial bugfixes once again? Probably just more bugs? Great

[solemn ocean]

can you abandon a settlement and will another one spawn in that system??

[celest saddle]

Bro wtf is with these settlers damn. Are the devs at HG okay?

[cyan crane]

You can abandon a settlement. And use planetary charts in some reports to basically pick where and even multiple players a planet has been reported.

[solemn ocean]

Thank you - how do I abandon it?

[celest saddle]

You have to find another

[storm shell]

@cyan crane show the size of the s call please

[celest saddle]

And then you can renounce ownership by transferring to a new one

[solemn ocean]

ah - so you can only manage one settlement?

[celest saddle]

Yes

[solemn ocean]

so I used a planetary chart elsewhere in the system twice... but they kept leading me back to my settlement...

does that mean there is only one in that system?

[cyan crane]

I literally fucking picked mine. Kept blowing thru charts until I have found one almost under my main low orbit base but I'm stuck on progress like others.

[celest saddle]

Yeah it does that, usually means it's the only one

[cyan crane]

Other people have repotted multiple but it's launch day and fucked up

[celest saddle]

I have one near my base I wanted to go to but unfortunately half the negative stats were ways settlers would get killed

Now mine is just triple depression and one way for people to die =/

Which in hindsight is no better

[rancid lance]

Has there been a hotfix since release?

[celest saddle]

Nope

[cyan crane]

I know im just some guy way too inexperienced in development to have an opinion but I feel like something is off as f.

[celest saddle]

Probably not until tomorrow

Why did my phone correct to lying

[cloud epoch]

ur phone is on to ur lying ways obv

[rancid lance]

Hmmmm

[celest saddle]

I ain't a liar tho. I swear

[cloud epoch]

i trust u, wait whut

this release feels weird what with all the 5th anniversary teasing by sean, wonder if there is something more this year

[solemn ocean]

dangit... I have my perfect planet... I just need a settlement to be on it... 😢

[tawdry mica]

Hey I can’t build a generator tower despite having the resources

It says sleeper unit and is grayed out

[hexed sluice]

How do I find new settlements? I declined my first one.

[celest saddle]

I've seen that one a lot

[gusty stream]

LOL

[celest saddle]

I had one that went "Wishing they were not alone" that turned into "Seeing a friend" (in which he was all alone) and then turned to "meeting someone at the Farm Depot" (was alone again) and it changed to "angry about recent events"

Like that poor mofo

[trim dune]

that escalated quickly

[celest saddle]

Like man, I'd be mad too if I was hella lonely and then got blown off twice

[rancid lance]

I had one that was confused about finding my office... In front of my office.

[trim dune]

no

[celest saddle]

No

[solemn ocean]

Do we know if you can upgrade your settlement state / grade - or are they fixed?

[trim dune]

enough with base building

[celest saddle]

Freighters exist tho

[trim dune]

let it go

[visual trench]

Hey anyone else got a 500mb Update?

[celest saddle]

If you wanted a space base, you should have played during beach head

There was a bug where you could have had a base on a derelict

[solemn ocean]

Do we know if you can upgrade your settlement stats* / grade - or are they fixed?

[celest saddle]

You can

To B atm

[solemn ocean]

cool ty

[hexed sluice]

Anyone know how to find a new settlement? I declined my first one but would love to have one in the same system but diff planet

[fervent blaze]

Bases are amazing happy with this update i thought proc gen was updated but i was mistaken Enjoying update optimistic about 4.0 being released this year somtime thats gonna be explorers update bet.

Quit being salty about a free update please. Dont play it if you hate it so much.

What is there to be critical about its a free update the game was better then it was yesterday

I dont get it actually.

Another update will come.

Big update still to happen this year imo

Ok if your so critical to the point were you want to stop playing. Then just stop playing.

Im not upset im happy

Im telling others to just be happy.

[wind anchor]

Ok... started Settlement. It's currently running at -170k a day. I'm building a next thing that takes two hours. Is this just a terrible starting base or is this how things go until you build it up? I'm at -80k and counting more in the hole.

The planet and weather are nice though so there's that.

[cloud epoch]

would u happen to have any reference for that? i looked at the QS merchant and didnt see anything. were these datamined or am i not looking in the right place?

[celest saddle]

Man, main chat has fully devolved into a shit show

I'ma vibe here

[cloud epoch]

main chat is always a bit scary lol

[modest crest]

this has its moments. But we'll hold the fort lol

[celest saddle]

Yeah, I took a couple month hiatus from the game since beach head ended

I don't remember that channel being that bad at the times I was around but oh well

[trim dune]

People are getting tired of base building. That's all

[visual trench]

Lol my settlement creates activated indium

[celest saddle]

I'm watching a keyboard warrior argument over someone just suggesting the idea of ship building

Devolving into how they supposedly have no experience in the game whatsoever, like man who cares

Like damn, some people just have hella fragile ego's apparently

[cloud epoch]

oh jeeze handing in missio0ns takes like 20-30 seconds

and u get spun all around the mission board NPC

[celest saddle]

I'm just waiting for tmrw so I can debrief my frigates

[visual trench]

Install new update

[celest saddle]

On console

I can't

[tawdry mica]

Is there a way to abandon base? I built the first building but can’t do any more for some reason

[celest saddle]

You gotta find a new one

And you can't build on your own will

You gotta wait for your settlers to come to you with a request

Kinda dumb imo

[gusty stream]

Ugh why aren't things happening in my settlement

[trim dune]

i like it

it's different from base building

[tawdry mica]

Yeah ik, I have a building waiting for resources but cannot input them

[gusty stream]

All these lousy gek are doing are piling up debt that for some damn reason I can't just pay off

[cloud epoch]

sounds very ungek like

[celest saddle]

I gotta wait 14h for mine to clear

[celest saddle]

I hope they expand upon it. I think it would be cool to eventually see multiple procedural cities with roads connected to them or something in Tier 3 systems. Could maybe see npc rovers occasionally driving in between cities or smth

And would give them an opportunity to update abandoned systems to potentially have towns or cities that are run down with wear from neglect and age

[trim dune]

Proper proc gen ruins would be nice, yeah

[celest saddle]

The two things I've really wanted from NMS are more structures/npc interactions and an Update to the conflict system

And I'm rather excited to see that they're taking the approach with the settlements, albeit the expected bugginess of their launch

[gusty stream]

Building on the settlements is quite intriguing

I like it

[wind anchor]

Is there a portal in the settlement or are people building a base nearby to be able to get back to the settlement?

[celest saddle]

You can just warp there

It is it's own entity

On the portal

[gusty stream]

I made a portal anyways for ease of access out of the place

[celest saddle]

I made a crude base above my settlement with a landing pad

[gusty stream]

I slapped on a landing pad next to the admin office

Well the new variant

I love it

[celest saddle]

I can't do that due to the location my settlement resides on

Given it's on a cliff

[gusty stream]

Ah

[cyan crane]

Omg. Settlement spawned over a cave system. I didn't know 🤷 standing in my office forcing build area into the settlement.. I fall thru the ground, thru a cave so fucking fast I couldn't do anything and died. Inventory lost to the planet. I found the cave, it's not there. Two corrupted instances on PS4 as well. I have never fallen thru a planet 😮‍💨

[tropic temple]

I think I may have found a way to speed up the construction timer for settlements but this is a big maybe I have very little evidence

[celest saddle]

I've fallen through a planet before

And you can bet I panicked and closed my game asap

I remember the bug where it would randomly teleport you to low orbit

And you'd fall all the way down to the ground

[cyan crane]

I fall thru everything build but never a planet 😂 and my inventory is just fucking gone

[celest saddle]

Yeah that hurts to hear

[icy citrus]

As a heads up - we have let this channel be off topic due to the new update, it won't be staying like this though. Be prepared to switch back to the main channel and reserve this for actual spoilers.

[tropic temple]

I had a timer that should have completed in about an hour so to pass the time I did a nexus mission for about 20 minutes and went back to my settlement through the anomaly portal and then it was finished

[icy citrus]

For now, carry on

[celest saddle]

Aight

[gusty stream]

Can you find salvaged modules on airless worlds?

[cyan crane]

I was wondering that, noticed and appreciate it.

[celest saddle]

I believe so

[visual trench]

Oh my god I still don't get any events, idk what I should do

[normal orchid]

So far I only got to build one thing in my settlement, is this a bug or am I impatient? Been 4 or 5 hours now

[modest crest]

[normal orchid]

Thanks 🙂

[modest crest]

Youre very welcome.

[normal orchid]

I used to be on experimental branch but it switched off at some point

[chrome depot]

How do you restart a quest

The quest for the settlements is on a planet I can’t land on.

Every time I go into it’s atmosphere the game just freezes up.

[rocky spoke]

im stuck on very first mission of taking over a settlement. i fight off sentiels then nothing changes

[chrome depot]

Ok scratch that

I’m having a problem where no matter what planet I land on now the game fucking freezes.

[rocky spoke]

i need to restart mission, is there a way?

[chrome depot]

And by this I mean the screen freezes, but the game’s still running in the background.

I can still hear me doing things in the game but the screen won’t budge

Oh shit I didn’t realize I was in the spoilers channel

[fringe jungle]

So settlements... do they degrade or need attention when you are offline? I.E. -- can you walk away for a month like you can the rest of the game, and everything stays the same?

[normal orchid]

hmm good question.

[cloud epoch]

guess we'll know in a month?

[fringe jungle]

I'm guessing it works like frigates where you do stuff to upgrade it and then you can manually visit to get the resources. I guess worse case scenario all my settlers die and it's not like that hasn't happened in every Dwarf Fortress game (eventually).

[cold panther]

!!FUN!!

[fervent blaze]

100000 changes to in game files this update now im think proc gen did get changed at least a little bit.

Data miners found that out btw.

The planets i was finding earlier were just different i know it.

At the very least somthing huge is coming for 4.0

[cloud epoch]

ayyy, my tower completed after 3x 4hr builds

tho some didnt take the full 4 hrs so idk lol

and now my settlement has nothing for me to do

maybe there is a limit to how much can happen in a given time period

[glass flare]

did anyone notice new details on their ships since the update? or am I tripping

[rancid lance]

on explorer its been a while since

but i dont notice any improvement on my hauler

[crisp fern]

does the tower have an interior? i know they mentioned other settlement structures do, so i suspect yes, but not as sure about the constructed additions

[rancid lance]

!hg

hm

[low veldt]

If only there's a way to speed up building to build other stuff to reduce debt otherwise my home turn into a box 😛

[cloud epoch]

tower does not

[crisp fern]

so...you have something that took hours to build...that can't be explored, rip

hopefully it's an exception and not the rule

[glass flare]

HG strives for tower consistency

[tawdry mica]

Is there a way to find a settlement on a specific planet?

[vocal berry]

@tawdry mica i heard that if you reset the mission on the planet that you want it to be on then you will find a settlement on that planet but I do not know for sure, could anybody confirm?

[rancid lance]

i found an S frigate but the bug prevents me from hiring them 😦

[tawdry mica]

I hope so. It’s an ideal planet

Plus my first settlement got bugged and I can’t continue the story soooo abandonment time

[mighty rampart]

Well it saved you in a way, it's not worth getting S class frigate as it won't be able to improve compared to getting a C/B one that improves (will almost always get better stats than a wild S one)

[frank nexus]

Anyone else using PS4 constantly getting crashes?

[misty loom]

Not constant but I did bluescreen three times in 6 hours doing random things like walking or placing an object.

[frank nexus]

I was going ~1-2 hours between crashes. Now it's about ~10 minutes of playtime. :/ No matter what I'm doing.

Really don't want to restart and lose my 100 hour save :(

[misty loom]

I think a patch happened for PC but we haven't gotten it yet bc Sony.

[crisp fern]

if ya haven't yet, you can report these issues to HG here: https://hellogames.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/requests/new

[misty loom]

Does anyone know how the settlement objectives work? I see screenshots of people well beyond what I have done but it stopped giving me new things to do after I completed my first building.

[spice sail]

Should I opt out of beta on pc for this?

[vague oriole]

I think they redid some textures

Also they made ships bigger for some reason

[glass flare]

Has anyone found more than one settlement per planet?

[vague oriole]

Someone in the hub discord did

Speaking of the hub, i wonder if all the settlements there are claimed already

Like in the capital

Also so far it seems that there is an average of 1 per planet

But it seems that more or none at all can generate

The system i logged off at before the update had none

In the whole system

[rich mesa]

Hes mad at me and decided to do this as a power move i guess...

Also I have heard reports that some people are able to teleport to their settlements and other people are not

I am one of the people that cannot

[waxen garnet]

Did they modify the image filters?

My game looks a bit sharper with more contrast.

Less washed out.

[glass flare]

Well damn I wasted a chart, it sent me back to the first settlement

[glossy plume]

hey guys im wondering if i can get some info on if i can go back to the first galaxy after moving on to the next galaxy?

[rich mesa]

As long as you place a base computer there, yes

You can go back.

[sudden pond]

you can also return to old stations, but yes a base computer is best

(make sure you make a new base in the new galaxy before returning)

[hushed robin]

you can return via teleporter, if that's what you're asking. portals only stay within the same galaxy, and galaxy cores only go forward (unless you're in galaxy 255).

[rich mesa]

Is it normal to not have anything else happen after you build your first building and settle a fight or 2 among residents?

I see a lot of people building things that seem further ahead

[glossy plume]

would just going into a space station be okay?

or do these saves get reset?

[rich mesa]

You can go to a space station but it only saves a certain number before it starts overriding them

If you want to make sure that you can get back, use a base computer

[glossy plume]

i was given a noospheric blob by the atlas what do i do with this when crafting it?

also i used a portal to jump to a system at the center of the galaxy, does this bug the story line?

[uncut harness]

go to another atlas station

[glossy plume]

oh ok

[vague oriole]

Is he sitting on the back of the chair

Such power is unrivaled

[rich mesa]

I want to just hand over the entire settlement to him and surrender to his presence

Yep! Back of the chair

[vague oriole]

That's why i settled in a korvax system

They aren't going to become more powerful than you

[rich mesa]

Hahah ♡

I'm going to try to re-ask my question one more time hopefully I'm not being too much of a pain in the ass but how are you guys building so far ahead I haven't gotten any new missions in my settlement or anything I can interact with

Is it just a Time manipulation thing?

Or am I just really unlucky

[misty loom]

Same. I'm not sure what to do to trigger new objectives. It just says: Manage Your Settlement in the log. The pop up says the status is running smoothly, speak with citizens (or leave to explore the universe) but I don't have any dialog options when I click on the settlers.

[rich mesa]

I had that originally and eventually I had someone new meet me in my office, I was prompted to decide on building a market or factory, settle a dispute between two people, sent some people to explore who all died (2 people) and nothing since then

Those things all happened pretty much in Rapid succession after I had my overseer office built

[rich mesa]

Go to your overseer office and there should be like a round glowing thing

At a terminal

Right now mine doesn't give me the option to do anything else but usually if there is something to do it will make the top option selectable

[vague oriole]

When i grow my settlement a bit more I'm gonna start placing base comupters around it

[frank nexus]

Same here. Got one expedition and one building (large warehouse) up and now I have no more missions.

[misty loom]

After I built a building, I did a dispute and purchased a plasma welder thing, then nothing for hours.

[vague oriole]

Make some manual improvements

[rancid lance]

i waited for about 2 hr last night then went to bed, this morning i got a request for a building

it just takes time

[rich mesa]

Ah I see

Ty!

I was just wondering if I was missing some trigger to progress

Glad to know it's just a waiting game

Also can I get a show of hands if any of you can teleport to your settlement?

I'm one of the Unlucky ones that can't

But I haven't seen any proof that people actually can

So I'm not sure if I'm just being trolled

[misty loom]

I'm on ps4 and I have the option at the terminus on a space station. It's top of my 'your bases' tab and it's violet. I'm not sure about the anomaly.

[rich mesa]

I'm also on ps4 and there's nothing

Sent a ticket

[misty loom]

How do you mean? Are we able to build at the settlements?

[rich mesa]

I was also silly and mine popped in ||calypso|| so its been fun trying not to die and get a base computer far enough away without dying

[vague oriole]

You can't build (or claim bases in them) but you can claim a base a bit further out and expand it

[vague oriole]

We're in the spoiler chat

[rich mesa]

Oop!

I keep bouncing back and forth between here and help

[misty loom]

Did you start with the first settlement you got a marker for? I didn't even land at mine and found a better planet and used a map before I claimed one.

[rich mesa]

I did choose the first one I got, via a distress signal when I broke atmosphere

I haven't tried any maps yet for a different one

[misty loom]

I'm curious if others who can't warp to their settlement also claimed the first one.

[rich mesa]

@rancid ether

Sorry for the ping but, if you're around curious to have ya answer this^

[vague oriole]

Yes i also can't warp and claimed the first one

[rancid ether]

i dont know if i technically claiemd the first one. i had to reset the mission becuase of the system ping-pong bug

[vague oriole]

Speaking of the first settlement

Idk if i should keep mine or find a new one

The planet is nice enough

But it's located next to a big cliff

Kinda worried that will screw up building placement

[rancid ether]

oh wait, i definitely claimed the first one on my survival save though. so yeah, same scenario for me

[rich mesa]

I love mine i really don't wanna move to a new one the only non "everything tryna kill me" calypso planet I found with gorgeous fauna

Just has sometimes-storms

No angy animals

No angy sentinels
