@severe otter you can free place a base computer in the water, you dont necessarily need to get down there - you can find hotspots at the surface, then just build a floor with free placement, then switch to snap mode, and build more floors walls etc and the extractors/generators as needed. remember that waves can get huge.

[severe otter]

My base says “invalid placement” everywhere

[viral wind]

gamma root on toxic or radioactive planets?

[severe otter]

Ohhh i got it

Ty ty

[winter wolf]

check the build menu controls at the top, toggle snap placement to free placement

[wet sigil]

Radioactive

[severe otter]

It worked ty!

[viral wind]

I'm joining a friend in game and he's transmitting through my speaker rather than my headphones. I don't see audio listed in the options. How do I fix this?

[wet sigil]

Try disabling your speaker's hardware in the sound settings

Search for control panel, go into sound, on the playback tab, disable the speakers, that should hopefully force the sound to go through your headphones

[viral wind]

Friend joined me and he's a newbie. How do we do quests together? How can I run one of his quests with him?

[viral wind]

I got it to to work. Thanks for the tip on audio.

[wet sigil]

Basically just follow him

[static yew]

How do you get to 4th galaxy?

[wet sigil]

Either by someone bringing you there or go through the core of the 3rd galaxy

3rd should be Calypso

[static yew]

Jesus Im the 1st 💀

[granite sail]

Where to locate travellers? Been jumping for one space station to another and can't find one 🥀

[wet sigil]

Just down to luck

[granite sail]

F*... Icic i guess I'll just to progress through the story then

[wet sigil]

If you just need one or two, keep hopping, if you are after all 16, the I would either cut losses and do the Artemis quests or go to the community planets with marked graves and require 2 glyphs to reach, and try hitting the graves while being offline

[granite sail]

Artemis it is ig

[wet sigil]

I have seen people having issues with the community planet though, so doing the Artemis quest would be preferable in isolation, it also saves time later

[subtle stag]

are there any articles that explain the differences between galaxies?

[granite sail]

Oh wtf i just stumbled upon a traveler while doing Artemis quest 😂

[wet sigil]

Desire detector working as intended

[wet sigil]

https://nomanssky.miraheze.org/wiki/Galaxy

[granite sail]

Erm anyone here finished the main story?

[static yew]

Does anyone know where this ship by chance couldn’t find the glyphs or galaxy (sorry for being vague)

[ember helm]

yes

[granite sail]

So um I'm at the quest rn called "The Purge". I only have 1/16 glyphs and I'm 700k LY away from it. How do i reach the galactic core other than warping?

[ember helm]

warp 16 times in any direction

after each warp you're given a glyph

you don't need to reach the core for The Purge

[ember helm]

once it shows, warp again

[granite sail]

Wth? Really? 😂 I honestly thought i need to warp. Icic thanks

[wet sigil]

Yep, just need to warp, it doesn't even need to be in the general direction of the core

[granite sail]

Oh wow this is impressive. It honestly thought i have to look for 16 glyps in each planets

Feels like a time saver

Anyways, I'll get back once I'm done warping 16 times

[olive terrace]

I've only found a single living frigate. How do I find more? I found my first with a dream aerial, never found one since

[mossy meteor]

Are any sentinal freighters claimable? Or are they just big ships that u gave to destroy to stop from spawning interceptors

[wet sigil]

You need anomaly detectors after your first one. Dream Aerial is only for the first one, it's useless after that, and you can only get one per system. Once you claim one, you have to go to another system

[olive terrace]

alright, thanks

[wet sigil]

The sentinel mothership that you fight on 5th space sentinel wave can only be destroyed

[mossy meteor]

Sad

[wet sigil]

You cannot claim it to be your freighter, you'd have to find the freighter version

[granite sail]

Which one is the best choice? Reset? Refuse? Ask?

[mossy meteor]

Oh so there is the exact same model as a freighter thou?

[wet sigil]

||Doesn't matter very much in the grand scheme of things, but reset let's you go to another galaxy for free||

[granite sail]

Icic, thanks

[wet sigil]

No, the sentinel freighters don't have the shiny sheen of the mothership, nor do they have the shield generator on the sides

But the overall shape is very similar

[mossy meteor]

K

[chilly lotus]

is the game ever gonna support console players using kbm?

[plucky flume]

are the odds of getting an s class living frigate affected by the economy of a star system? i know that there’s only one per system and it’s fixed, just want to check if i should be going to wealthy economies instead of random ones

[fervent wind]

how do i get walker brain??? i need a conflict scanner

[wet sigil]

It should not. I have a mod that made it impossible for a system to naturally generate A and B ranks in all systems that uses economy level to roll for ranks, and I still could get A and B rank living frigates

[wet sigil]

You get them off sentinel walkers, which spawn at sentinel alert level 5.

Some missions offered by the mission officer in space stations or by the nexus in anomaly can also offer brains as rewards

[fervent wind]

ty

[azure geyser]

Chat how do I get the fauna discovered thing for extinct species?

[wet sigil]

You cant

[azure geyser]

Is it not counted towards the completionist then?

[wet sigil]

Nope

At least it should not

It is stable to build base in 257 galaxy?

[wet sigil]

257 doesn't exist

[summer path]

Hello, what's this quest icon ? it doesn't show up in the journal, not sure what it means, I just beat a dreadnought if it means anything

[stoic vale]

Its where your frigates are on mission

[wet sigil]

That's where your frigates are on their expedition

[summer path]

ho ok, I'm like thousands star away from my cargo so it's a huge coincidence lol

[dim plaza]

do people use ai to make logos for the factions or something

[summer path]

thanks !

[dim plaza]

cuz I was looking at factions and found MULTIPLE

[stoic vale]

Is there a way to tell whether a Derelict Freighter will have the log from a Korvax, Gek or Vy'keen vessel (or even one of the two 'neutral' logs)?

[dim plaza]

wait its called community but regardless

[dense rock]

Yeah... And "Odyalutai" is name of my mother

[dim plaza]

do they use ai for some

[dim plaza]

dang

[wet sigil]

257 is basically just a bugged version of #1

[dense rock]

RP reasons

[wet sigil]

It's not a separate galaxy, just an integer overflow

[dense rock]

Breake from Atlas

[wet sigil]

I am not aware of any methods to get to 257, nor if it would persist between saves, a quick Google indicates it may not persist between aaves

[dense rock]

Where from I read they say you can enter session player with base

In that place

I wanna build Tavern on the end of world

[chilly relic]

Speaking of Odyalutai I'm trying to taxi back there, i left before dropping a base computer. Where in this server do I find a taxi? lfg?

[dense rock]

We can go together If I found one. Another galaxy to have is not bad idea

Still my main point is Yilsrussimil

[chilly relic]

I'm up to 19 myself

[wet sigil]

256 is reachable if someone in 256 brings you there yes

[dense rock]

257 not at all?

https://nomanssky.fandom.com/wiki/Yilsrussimil

[stuck berry]

Yes, it does not exist

Ironically they're not even "copies" like that says, it just places you in real, actual Odyalutai

it just forgets to update the current galaxy name to that until you save + reload

the game generates galaxy names for an infinite amount of galaxy numbers, but solely names

[dense rock]

Lowkey depressing. I have great idea for RP to break from Atlas reach

[wet sigil]

Every information I can see point towards that it doesn't exist anymore

[stuck berry]

Never did.

[dense rock]

I see some videos on youtube. From not that long ago

[stuck berry]

YouTube videos can be wrong

especially for clicks

NMS is filled with that unfortunately

Yeah...

Sad day xD

[stoic vale]

I am trying to get all the logs, and i dont want to waste time exploring ships that will give logs for Vy;keen ships as i already have all the logs...

@swift sand what do i get for doing the autophage quest line? (Ik i get the quest after artemis path)

[delicate knot]

i just finished the atlas path and got star seed how do i get purple star systems thing

Did you finish "They who returned"?

[delicate knot]

how do i get that questline

[wet sigil]

Finish Artemis quest line, make sure you have the Aeron jetpack unlocked, then warp

[ornate kite]

@wet sigil since bk hasent replied, can you?

[delicate knot]

i did but whats aeron jetpack

[wet sigil]

It's a jetpack customisation you get for unlocking a harmonic camp the first tkme

[delicate knot]

harmonic camp?

[wet sigil]

It unlocks making autophage staves, and is required for In Stellar Multitude, which unlocks purple stars

[wet sigil]

The camp you get with echo locator, the one where you had to do some arithmetic

[delicate knot]

this thing has anything to do with it?

[wet sigil]

That's the thing you use to locate harmonic camp

[delicate knot]

oh alr

[lilac plinth]

I thought you don't need that jetpack. The echo locator will do it.

[ornate kite]

Any apperence?

[wet sigil]

The jetpack has the same trigger condition as the autophage quest trigger condition, so checking to see if they have the jetpack is an indicator that they have that requirement for the quest

If you have the jetpack already, you don't need to find another camp, if you don't have the jetpack, then you need to find a camp and lift the harmonic seal

[wet sigil]

Yes, quite a few, though they are all bought with the autophage currency called void motes

[ornate kite]

Ah ok

[swift sand]

@ornate kite i was still asleep, sorry

[ornate kite]

The bottom row looks good.

But it have to wait. I wanna expand my ground base a little more before i do artemis quest line

[charred haven]

I don't think that is worth apologising for XD

[charred haven]

Take your time^^ The only time there might be any rush is optional expeditions

[ornate kite]

Speaking of which. When does the next expidition arrive?

[gray shoal]

We dont know

[charred haven]

We are not devs

[vast root]

I play on ps4 and it won't let me play online because I don't have a ps+ subscription... is there any way I can play online without that (still on ps4?) It feels really lonely 😭

[charred haven]

afaik that is how console online subsriptions work

on non-ftp games

[gray shoal]

Nope. U could try hook up your console to some friend ps+ account

[charred haven]

I don't recommend doing this in most circumstances unless you have family you trust, eg: a brother

not sure why I pinged you, sorry

[charred haven]

^

[gray shoal]

Yeah i meam real friend /family member

[charred haven]

Even with real friends I would be hesitant

[gray shoal]

It worked for me.

[charred haven]

and does save money

[vast root]

Ill just have to put up with playing solo for now

[charred haven]

on a positive note you can't really be griefed in the vast majority of methods

[vast root]

It's kinda annoying since I own the game disc so I should be able to access all the features

I think consoles are a bit greedy

[lilac plinth]

Okey. That make sense.

[gray shoal]

But it does not work everytime. Depends on game i guess. My friend has ps5 , i got ps4 , we both buyed nightregin and we still could not play together. We had to have seperate ps+ account subscribtions :/.

[gray shoal]

Yep.

[vast root]

Do yk if I can still find people's bases? Just not the players themselves

[gray shoal]

U should be able to find bases

[vast root]

Since it still says who discovered the planets and stuff

[gray shoal]

Bases and discoveries are on HG servers. Not sonys

[lilac plinth]

I'm using my brother's ps account when I'm building alone and need someone who hold a part.
My save on the PS5 and his on the PS4. It works fine. Also when he plays another game. But if he start NMS its going really bugged.

[wet sigil]

Question, there is no vanilla way to increase the frequency of storms, right?

And harsh galaxies only increase the likelihood of harsh planets appearing, but does not affect their severity, frequency or length?

[swift sand]

there is no vanilla way to increase the frequency of storms, right?
frequency/duration, nope

but does not affect their severity, frequency or length?
not that i'm aware of, that's down to planet itself

[charred haven]

Right, each planet is generated on helogames serverside right? So you would have to go into server editing? which is hacking?

[swift sand]

nah - storms still happen, have different durations etc - even if you're offline

[charred haven]

📝

[swift sand]

either that's moddable to our current capabilities, or that's locked behind the exe, not sure which

[charred haven]

til

[cursive summit]

Planets are generated by procgen codes, nothing related to serverside.

[wet sigil]

My dreams of permanent radiation storm planets are shattered

[swift sand]

that said - i've seen some planets where there was a very short duration between storms - which, depending on how often i was making use of photo mode, led to sometimes me finding myself "constantly in a storm" (one despawned, the other spawned while i was still in photo mode)

[charred haven]

sounds like there is a way if you want it hard enough

[wet sigil]

I guess it's time to planet hunt again. What star colour had more harsh weather planets? Blue?

[charred haven]

procgen codes... I will check that out what that is when I have time

[swift sand]

on a harsh type galaxy, you'll be finding them very often on any star system color, ime - but ofc, focus on planets with act stellar metal on the list

[ornate kite]

@swift sand @wet sigil did u see the frame iam happy with in #nms-corvette-discussion ?

[swift sand]

i saw it yesterday when you posted it here i think 🙂 looks like a good base!

[ornate kite]

No. I posted a new desing (frame) 2-3 hours ago

[wet sigil]

Time to go poking around in Calypso

[ionic pond]

is there an easy way to obtain a lot of void mote, and how do i get it in the first place?

[charred haven]

have you completed They Who Returned?

[ionic pond]

currently doing so, but i noticed that its used to obtain items like you do with quicksilver and i rlly love the character customization items and thought i might be able to get it fast somehow

[wet sigil]

If you have, then it's a matter of finding autophage camps and do each of their missions. I personally only do those that require handing in items, then move onto the next camp, etc etc

But those missions would require completing the quest

[charred haven]

Could you que up just a ton of these quests, and then do the objectives? Is this quicker? You would have to claim them in each camp anyways

^i'm curious

[ionic pond]

wait i can accept tasks?

[swift sand]

well, this is as a part of the quest

but yes, it will be basically the same flow

[ionic pond]

btw how do i even find these camps outside the mission?

[swift sand]

find camp, talk to npc, offer assist

[swift sand]

you'll use poly core

@ionic pond in short, there's not many void mote sources:

• autophage npc missions can be a good source, especially if you already have the mats/products to insta complete them; mission pool varies per planet
• scrapping atlantid tools obtained from korvax monoliths
• random drop from wheel barrows at harmonic camps

[alpine ember]

once you get your rep up, there will be a camp in your main base after you scan.
i presume that's what toggled it.

dailies become simpler, void motes more easy to attain

[ionic pond]

awesome!

i cna just accept this one and then do it later right?

[alpine ember]

yeap no timeout

[ionic pond]

ty!

[swift sand]

that mission pool is per planet - i've found plenty of planets where i have no base at, and had missions like, craft 2 microps. also, autophage camps kinda overlay many existing POI - so if we build and claim a base comp next to such a poi, if we already have the ability to uncloak them, they'll be visible 🙂

[charred haven]

is this a viable stretegy?

[alpine ember]

I have cued up more than one mission at a time. 2 seperate camps. still worked

[swift sand]

you could i think, since autophage missions can be turned in even at space station mission board agents

[charred haven]

Oh! Heck yeah!

Then you can que up like 20 quests, and just kinda play the game, and claim them later

[ionic pond]

wait so i can accept as many as i want and claim them all at once, did i get that right?

[alpine ember]

how to guarantee an S class staff is beyond me, google AI lied. the 'head' that it recommends yielded A class

[wet sigil]

You can, but I don't see the point, because you have to travel back to each camp anyway, which may be far away from each other. My rule is, if the quest takes me outside of the camp, I ignore it and move onto the next camp

[wet sigil]

It depends also on the station itself

[swift sand]

sure, just remember that some missions might have specific locations/planets

[alpine ember]

aha. ok noted ty

[swift sand]

and system economy tier, and even player position if you glitch it

[wet sigil]

In other words, it's a complete crapshoot

[swift sand]

autophage missions can be turned in even at space station mission board agents

[charred haven]

So only accept generic missions, like crafting things, or killing sentinels, etc - if you want to que up a lot of missions at once

[alpine ember]

11.5k dps will do me for now

[swift sand]

pretty much yeah

[wet sigil]

TIL

[swift sand]

it's great when there's some kind of bug preventing player from getting back to camp, or npc no longer visible for example

[charred haven]

this will easily clear you every quest in the game

[wet sigil]

I basically never revisit camps lol, I just hand in the item hand in quests, ignore the rest and move on 😛

[swift sand]

scrap crashed ship mission type is one i sometimes do this with

[charred haven]

So getting void motes with this method, the most efficient way is to queue up a lot of generic autophange quests, that is non-location specific, but how would you efficiently search for new camps?

[wet sigil]

I keep several stacks of nano cables for those

[wet sigil]

You will be given something that locates autophage camps

[swift sand]

pool of missions seems to be per planet - so find a planet with an easy set of missions, and just hop through multiple autophage camps on the same planet using poly core

[alpine ember]

the location thing is both an addon module for all multitools and part of the staff by default

[charred haven]

yes - but how do I garuantee that I don't find the same camp?

[swift sand]

yeah, all staffs have poly core installed by default

[charred haven]

a camp that i have discovered before*

[swift sand]

game should take care of that, no problem - i usually make sure i face hug center of the site, and aim my visor at it

[charred haven]

📝

[charred haven]

to summerise:
One way is to queue up a lot of generic quests, that don't require specific locations, and turn all of them in at a space station. Make sure you don't visit the same camp twice

[swift sand]

also, the crafting ones, the ones to turn in materials - that should all insta complete if you got the needed mats e.g. microprocessors, nanotubes, rusted metal etc

[ionic pond]

uhhhh why is nothing happening?

[swift sand]

face hug that damaged machinery, then quick scan

[ionic pond]

oh nice, ty!

[swift sand]

it seems the quick scan uncloak function has fairly limited range, so depending on where we are when we trigger the scan, it might not uncloak everything/everyone at the camp

[dull ibex]

Hey guys, i have a new pc and downloaded no mans sky again. after few hours i scanned all the creatures on all planets and all of the sudden a massive worm crushes through land. It had the red dot it could be scanned, but it was way to fast to get in reach. But i said i scanned everything on the planet, yet there it was. Could someone give some info? Thanks in advance

[swift sand]

titan worm has a red dot, but it's not going to be a fauna species on any of the planets. try aiming visor at the right spot, will see some info 😉

it varies too, there's multiples

[dull ibex]

no idea how to spawn it haha

but they are starships??

[ionic pond]

i was wondering if you could scan that

intriguing !

[charred haven]

is the movement tech in this clip common, or am I slightly unhinged? #964865106334875698 message

[swift sand]

if titan worm spawned on a planet you were exploring, give it time, it will spawn again. that said, they're really common in infested subtype bodies (type !faq-biomes in #nms-commands )

[swift sand]

no man, that's just flavor text

[charred haven]

0:39

[swift sand]

@dull ibex here's another example of a possible description value: these are just for immersion - ever seen the Dune movies?

[ionic pond]

these little details is why i love this game so much, i just cant get enough

[dull ibex]

yeah i have, so we can ride on them as well 😉

[swift sand]

not sure what you're referring to here sorry. you're driving nomad, exocrafts can do a small jump by default, no extra techs needed, and since low grav world, it results in long air times

[charred haven]

Flying with ground vehicles (alledgedly) specifically

You can fly with ground vehicles. You may even be able to leave the planet

[swift sand]

we cant tame or ride titan worm itself, but the devs have released a sandworm like companion egg that it's still possible to obtain from other players, but it doesn't cruise the sands, just flies https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/471868642204712971/1419472474483069030/20230202165140_1.webp

[dull ibex]

really cool tho

[swift sand]

yeah, but this wont happen in non-low grav planets, at least not on ones without very tall mountains or i'm not aware of a way to trigger them

[charred haven]

yes, the assumption is that you are on low-grav planets

[swift sand]

yeah, but in short, there's no extra tech to make that happen

[storm berry]

are there multiplayer groups or something?

[swift sand]

that's the combo of those factors, and them being able to jump

[swift sand]

you mean communities, groups of players, clans, guilds - that sort of thing?

[storm berry]

yeah!

[swift sand]

see #1418605454300549120

[charred haven]

is it a common thing?

[storm berry]

oh wow theres alot, thanks!

[charred haven]

to do to search long distances

though not enough to consider summoning a ship

[swift sand]

really up to each player - some totally forget about ship, and summon it later. for example, i normally stick around my ship, use it as my search radius center, come back to it when i'm done. but i've also done the opposite, just leave it and start walking/driving and exploring, only to realize 1 or 2h later that getting back to it would take another 1h or 2 lol

[young girder]

Hi. I'm not sure what this freighter type is but it's fine but wondering if there is a way to find the same thing but with korvax captain and fleet guy instead of gek. gek are fine but their voices are a bit annoying. 😁

[swift sand]

sure. this is a venator type freighter, resurgent size (the max 3d model size possible for this type). most naturally, you'd just keep playing the game, till the next rescue battle event happens. but until then, always exit ship in station to update restore point save slot, which is going to be your safety net: there's only 1 capital freighter design/model per inhabited system

[young girder]

Cool. Thanks for quick response!

[swift sand]

when battle does trigger in some system, just reload restore point, find any korvax t3 eco or outlaw system, and warp to it 🙂

[young girder]

Oh, okay! Thanks!

[swift sand]

anytime 🙂

[ionic pond]

did i just softlock myself? its not displaying the planet i need to go to andi cant find it manually...

[swift sand]

turn it in at any space station mission board agent

[brazen flame]

what happens when you die in normal mode

[gray shoal]

U lose your backpack stuff and need to go get it.

[brazen flame]

ah okay

do you lose any money

or just backpack stuff

and tech damage

[gray shoal]

U can set death consequences in difficulty options.

[brazen flame]

i know i forgot to look

you can set it while playing

[swift sand]

yeah, i was only thinking of setting it to save deleted when playing

[brazen flame]

ahh yeah

[gusty vapor]

Fungal mold. Can you harvest from planets, or do you HAVE to have a place to grow it?

[swift sand]

for example, can be harvested from toxic biome planets, look for fungal cluster plant icons. type !faq-biomes in #nms-commands for more infos

[gusty vapor]

Dang! Toxic planets are my bane.

I only end up fighting giant centipedes…

[stuck berry]

Those are only on infested worlds, so maybe most of the toxic worlds you've encountered until now were coincidentally also infested

[gusty vapor]

Coincidence…do you find fungal mold in caves on toxic planets or merely on the surface, (imgur is full of spam)

[swift sand]

usually on the surface, but it is possible to find some caves with native plants inside - though much more rarely, almost like a stroke of luck when multiple factors combine

they're easy to spot from the air too, can resort to photo mode as well

[gusty vapor]

Are they illuminated like sodium, O2, and H+?

Or a different view, can I see them if I press C?

[swift sand]

they're quite easy to pick out once you know what they look like, but they wont be marked by quick scan iirc

travel along leylines to find them more quickly

[dim plaza]

should I prioritise level 3 economy or level 3 conflict

when getting a dreadnought

[swift sand]

• class drop chance is affected by system economy tier
• s-class in t3 eco 2%, in outlaw systems 5%

[dim plaza]

how to get the outlaw cape

[swift sand]

outlaw cape is an expedition 6 reward; officially, gotta wait for the devs to bring it back somehow; unofficially, there's ways

[gusty vapor]

Thank you

[dim plaza]

what's the unofficial way

[swift sand]

save editing, using a mod, rerunning old expedition offline (pc only), service bot

[dim plaza]

I looked on yt for a tutorial but its for the expedition and idk how to save edit, is there a video or a guide?

[stuck berry]

There is a guide in #nms-modding pins on how to install mods http://tinyurl.com/nmsmodding550. There may also be a guide somewhere in there on how to use a save editor, but it's mostly self-explanatory with how their UI works.

Using the mod that allows you to purchase exp rewards for quicksilver https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/2062 may be easier than installing and using a save editor.

There is also the addon for the mod that sets all of their prices to free https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/3420

[steel folio]

What stuff does the current Community Mission unlock?
I can find completion percentages online, but cant seem to find anyone showing what we're actually working towards

[stuck berry]

You can see this at the Quicksilver Synthesis Companion aboard the Space Anomaly

The items we are working towards unlocking should appear at the top of the regular Quicksilver purchases list, listing which tier they are locked behind

[steel folio]

I know, but I'm unable to check myself so i was asking

[stuck berry]

The items are these

basically more of the planet features that were added originally in Worlds Part II

[ionic pond]

when one says a system with the advanced materials tag, do they mean the high tech system (the microprocessor looking icon)?

[stuck berry]

No, they mean the DNA/Double Helix symbol #nms-questions message

[ornate kite]

So outlaw system is best place to find s class freighter?

[stuck berry]

That is true

[ornate kite]

Nice

[bitter scroll]

Whats the best multi tool weppon to kill sentinels?

Like which weppon should i buy?

[stuck berry]

All of them are quite equal in their effectiveness, especially once you have upgrade modules installed for the one you are using

You can purchase multi-tool upgrade modules aboard any space station, with each one offering them at different classes. S-Class upgrades aren't uncommon, just expensive

You can install up to three upgrades per type of tech, not counting blueprint technology (technology installed using a blueprint and resources)

[storm berry]

are concrete and metal walls still available to get? i cant find them

[stuck berry]

Not without mods/save editing on PC
https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/3443
http://tinyurl.com/nmsmodding550

or if you had unlocked them prior to the Frontiers update, you would still have their blueprints

[storm berry]

why would they remove it lol, thanks for the answer tho!

[ionic pond]

is there an easier way to get superconductors? i dont have the gas extractor yet and dont have enough radon to craft the staff component

[stuck berry]

If you have enough of either Sulphurine or Nitrogen, you could refine them into it

or you could destroy Depots to collect gasses/the products they're used to make

or you could send frigate expeditions and have a chance to get one or their crafting components

I believe they can also appear as a reward from mission boards

[ionic pond]

these right?

alr ill give that a go

wait ive destroyed a depot, but it keeps appearing when i scan for one..

[stuck berry]

Have you destroyed all five parts of it?

[ionic pond]

5?

[storm berry]

also do terrain edits last forever?

[ionic pond]

theyre all clustered together right?

then yes

[stuck berry]

Not really, don't depend on them for base building purposes as they can be buggy unfortunately

damn thats rough

[dreamy bear]

Hey guys it's been a little while but I started up no mans sky again. After completing a sentinel watch tower, the multitool wasn't sentinel but one I've never seen before, looks kinda like an alien SMG? It's a unique design, never seen it before and it's 100% not sentinel. What could it be? And should I use it as my primary, or use a sentinel tool with 3 turbo slots together? Both are A rank tools

[signal cedar]

Royal multitool, can be found only at specific Sentinel Pillars

[stuck berry]

Also, you'll never find sentinel MTs at Sentinel Pillars

[dreamy bear]

Really? What's royal tools

[signal cedar]

Any MT can be viable, go for looks...

that's just how this specific type / design is called

looks same way as exotic guppy ships, same colour palette

[dreamy bear]

The weird thing was the one I got from the tower was broken, but at the space station the exact same gun was for sale, same rank and even turbo slots layout so I just exchanged the broken one for the non broken one

[stuck berry]

Yes, that can happen as you were most likely still aligned to the same Multi-Tool pool

[dreamy bear]

So does it never reset? I found a 3* dissonance system I want to stay in but will the multitool from harmonic camps always be the same?

[stuck berry]

Somewhat, until you save and reload on a different planet in the same star system, which aligns the pool to that planet instead in the case you want the pistol instead of the rifle or vice versa

[dreamy bear]

Does that work?

[stuck berry]

Yes.

If it did not, I would not describe it.

[dreamy bear]

So depending on the amount of planets in this system, let's say there's 4, that means there's 4 models to pick from?

[stuck berry]

Yes, but of course Sentinel MTs only have two models

both with no color or model variation within them

[dreamy bear]

But harmonic camps will spawn either pistol or rifle?

[stuck berry]

They will always spawn a Sentinel Multi-Tool, with either the pistol or rifle shape of them

They will never contain a regular Pistol or Rifle

[dreamy bear]

My gun isn't there

It's not a royal

[stuck berry]

You could send a screenshot/photograph of it

It's most likely an Alien one, from your description

or a Rifle/Pistol/Experimental, if it's not organic looking

[dreamy bear]

This one

[stuck berry]

That is a rifle I believe

[dreamy bear]

It's smg

Fires crazy fast

I have all the bolt caster upgrades and stuff

[wet sigil]

That's a rifle

At least, it's a Rifle class MT

[dreamy bear]

I think I prefer sentinel for the double mining speed

[ionic pond]

tried another one, destroyed them all btu its still showing this one instead of a new one

[stuck berry]

That is strange, I guess you could then just fly to different places each time or even different planets

[ionic pond]

would going further away from this one and rescanning help?

or will it point back to this one regardless

[stuck berry]

It may solely be based on which one is closer to you

with it pinging the one that is the closest to you

[brazen flame]

what does "dissonance detected" mean on planets

[stuck berry]

It means that the world is dissonant, meaning it has purple crystals all over it and a few other unique features

[brazen flame]

ahh

[stuck berry]

like Corrupted Sentinels, Dissonance Resonators, Radiant Shards etc

as well as their unique structures, being Harmonic Camps and Sentinel Interceptor Crash Sites

!faq-interceptor in #nms-commands may explain more

[brazen flame]

okay thanks

[viral wind]

How do you repair the parts of downed starship by using a repair kit?

[stuck berry]

Select the damaged technology, then hover over the specific required resource and press the button that says "apply repair kit" #nms-questions message

[dim plaza]

why did they have to add spiders and crabs to this game

would've been way better without them

[stuck berry]

At best, there is a mod on PC that removes them https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/2223

[bitter scroll]

I know, was just wondering specific advantages

[charred haven]

Is this channel a good place to ask discord questions?

[analog scroll]

If it's just general discord questions and not related to the game #off-topic-bond-james-bond

[charred haven]

Specifically this server tho

like questions about gunter etc

[analog scroll]

You can ask, and if it's not the right place we can redirect you

[charred haven]

How much xp does a reply give?

or a messege etc

[analog scroll]

No idea. !help in #bot-spam might have info

[ionic pond]

im about to enter a portal for this quest, will my stuff get damaged again or was it just for the main story and when you warp to different galaxies?

[stuck berry]

Nothing will be damaged

[analog scroll]

Portals don't damage equipment

[stuck berry]

The only time using one relates to damage is the first time in the main story, where only your Launch Thrusters are damaged I believe, which is scripted to that mission

[charred haven]

spoiler -> ||is it when you enter a new galaxy that your stuff gets damaged?||

[stuck berry]

That too, but that is a constant

[analog scroll]

Via the core, yes

[charred haven]

gocha

[stuck berry]

and only when core warping/||end of main story||

via teleporters/joining other players, it is always safe

[wet sigil]

Is it just me or did Exp12 add a lot of space encounters?

[weary zodiac]

Which mission do I need to complete so I can use the portals on planets?

[charred haven]

the story

[weary zodiac]

little confused by what is the "story". I can pick diff missions in my log.

[stuck berry]

The main story, "The Artemis Path" #nms-commands message

it goes through many different mission names

it's the primary mission that's not The Atlas Path, Atlas Eternal or The Space Anomaly

[weary zodiac]

ok thanks

[ivory phoenix]

How do I get manage your settlement:Sentinel alert level high mission to trigger?

[dreamy bear]

I keep digging up and analysing these alien books but I don't understand, do I unlock something? I've read like 12-15 books and I don't understand what they are for

[gusty vapor]

I’ve been keeping mine, I don’t know what to do with them either

[dreamy bear]

You read them

They don't stack

[analog scroll]

Look at the item card. Does it say Used For: Trading?

[dreamy bear]

What

No it's like X to analyse

And I unlock a journal entry or something

[gusty vapor]

Most things are used for trading

[dreamy bear]

No because if that was true I would be able to give contraband like nip nip to geks instead of relics

[charred haven]

screenshot?

[dreamy bear]

I've logged out I need to take breaks

[tulip dust]

@visual current

No stickers in this channel please

[visual current]

oh

[analog scroll]

That's not what trading means. Geks want relics as gifts

[visual current]

i got gunther'd

[dreamy bear]

2k space travel while high is a trippy experience

[analog scroll]

Because you tried to do something not allowed here

[visual current]

ik it told me but poor gek

[dreamy bear]

I'm having trouble finding things that drop crystallised hearts

[wet sigil]

They only drop off the corrupted sentinel "dogs"

(has to be corrupted, can't be the normal version)

[charred haven]

so get wanted levels in corrupted system

planet

[analog scroll]

Corrupt sentinel quads

[dreamy bear]

I may have accidentally disabled the systems sentinels

They don't spawn

[analog scroll]

These things https://nomanssky.fandom.com/wiki/Corrupted_Sentinel_Quadruped

[wet sigil]

1. Those are the wrong sentinels

2. Disabling sentinels are only for that planet

[analog scroll]

Warp out and back, or save and reload

[charred haven]

are wanted levels blue?

[dreamy bear]

Yeah I've seen them before just not on this save

[wet sigil]

They appear only on Dissonant planets, btw

[dreamy bear]

They went blue then white saying disabled

I'm in a dissonant system

[charred haven]

try do as Tyndall said

[wet sigil]

Are you on a planet with corrupted sentinels?

[dreamy bear]

When I log back in they will probably be back to normal

[wet sigil]

The wanted level will reset yes

PS were the sentinels you were fighting clad in orange/black shell, or purple/dark brown shell?

[dreamy bear]

Purple

[wet sigil]

OK, you are on the right planet

Although I am surprised you managed to turn off the sentinels

[dreamy bear]

Sometimes I take damage when I'm leaving a freighter it's annoying, the collision thinks I'm crashing despite me having no control of takeoffs

[dreamy bear]

Yeah you shoot the towers and stand on the platform I just landed and shot them with my infra knife

[wet sigil]

Ah, you were near a sentinel tower

[stuck berry]

I believe this mainly occurs in explorer or exotic ships with large upward geometry

[wet sigil]

Try not doing that when farming parts from Corrupted sentinels

[dreamy bear]

I was in my fighter

I also got a hyperdrive core from a goods package is that like, used for freighters?

[wet sigil]

No, that's for your starship

[heady mica]

hi, does anyone know how to fix the problem with saving? It does not save the game in any form, at all (xbox version) I didn't find a lot of options, by type, run from the administrator (this is impossible due to access rights) reset/reinstall xbox / microsoft store / games - do not work

[dreamy bear]

No not that regular one the big daddy one

[wet sigil]

Freighter techs only come from freighters, either from the engineering bay on derelict freighter, or dropped from destroying freighters/dreadnoughts

[wet sigil]

Does it have a stack number like 1/10 on the bottom of its icon?

[wet sigil]

Oh that

It's for both

[stuck berry]

That's hyperdrive fuel

[wet sigil]

It refuels hyperdrive by 100% for starship and freighter

[stuck berry]

it provides a 100% charge on Normal/Relaxed

[dreamy bear]

I can't craft it

[stuck berry]

You can purchase it's blueprint from the synth lab

[dreamy bear]

It's an ingredient though for a starship upgrade

[dreamy bear]

Oh yeah I forgot about that

Sure would have made the grind easier

On the upside, I saw and brought the exotic ship in my system. It was a red, royal guppy

[brazen flame]

what will the outcome of these be

[stuck berry]

Not incredibly important, just two slightly different technologies and slightly different endless missions following it

[bold raven]

If you birth a new star, you will get to travel to a new galaxy if I remember correctly

[brazen flame]

are there links to the technologies i get

[charred haven]

||One time finish of the quest, and your one chance to make a custom star, though the outcome is still random so don't feel to pressured||

[charred haven]

right?

[charred haven]

^

[dreamy bear]

By the way guys friendly reminder that hazard protection doesn't decrease when you're in the portable refiner interface. This means you can use one to potential wait out a storm, works on all game modes

[swift sand]

that's in main storyline aka artemis path; this one's at the end of atlas path

[brazen flame]

what supposed tech do i get from these choices

[swift sand]

though that star isnt actually created, that part's just flavor

i had the same feeling years ago

[charred haven]

reveal of Hg's slight of hand XD

[swift sand]

sorry, should have spoiler tagged it maybe 🏃‍♂️‍➡️

[charred haven]

probably XD

[brazen flame]

hi guys

[swift sand]

1. star seed 2) mark of the denier

star seed adds 1 HP, mark of the denier doesnt - mark has to be charged to "play" atlas eternal, star seed does not

[brazen flame]

okay

i already picked mark before u answered

[swift sand]

plenty of other sources of hp these days too

[brazen flame]

atleast i get a sickass tag

[swift sand]

you'll be fine

[brazen flame]

also what does

|| rememberance || do

[swift sand]

adds 1 hp, allows player to read remembrance lore terminals - not mandatory, one could just abandon that helper mission to install it

[brazen flame]

well i installed it but ight

[swift sand]

pretty nice lore if you asked me

[brazen flame]

yeah i love the lore in this game

[swift sand]

remembrance lore terminals are locked behind some atlas pass v3 and v2 doors (abandoned station, some buildings on planets)

[charred haven]

you have enough space for it, so there is no penalty at all afaik

[swift sand]

no penalty, that's right

[brazen flame]

is there a chart for ranks in guilds

what standing do i need for exalted in merchants

8 or 10

[analog scroll]

Exalted is rank 10 in all of them

[ornate kite]

@swift sand guess what i just got

[charred haven]

(The rest of the class is also curious)

[ornate kite]

@swift sand wrong. Wanna see what i got?

[swift sand]

can post a screenshot in #nms-media 🙂

[ornate kite]

Wanna post it here since i also got a question for it

[outer tree]

if you keep using distress signals to find crashed in the same system, will it always be the same ship?

[ornate kite]

@swift sand how to trigger one of them?

[swift sand]

not always, but there seems to be a limited pool of designs/ship types that can pop in crashed ships per system

[outer tree]

last time i tried, i recall finding the same ship over and over in the same system

so its best to move to different systems if you dont find good ships?

[swift sand]

you'd be able to find other ship types ime, but it might be the same design per type, per system.

[swift sand]

yeah, i'd suggest doing so for now

also, feel free to submit feedback to the devs

!hg

[tulip dust]

[outer tree]

move to different 3 star systems for best results?

[swift sand]

throw 9 of them into a secondary ship or unused exocraft, goto space, pulse until hailed

[swift sand]

yeah, or outlaw if going straight and only for s-class

[ornate kite]

I did and put the other 19 into my freighter.

[outer tree]

outlaw will always be S class of just higher chance?

[swift sand]

lol, 19 yeah, the other stack as well

[swift sand]

nah, just higher chance to s-class

[outer tree]

looking for starship tech unlocks this is the best method i think? or look for station missions with rewards?

tech slot unlocks

[ornate kite]

Gives me 20 chances to get my perfect living ship i guess. Gonna take me 20 weeks to use them all

[stuck berry]

Why 20 weeks? You could do all after the first in like a day

Unless it's 20 stacks lol

(I forget if they stack or not)

[swift sand]

check !faq-inventory in #nms-commands , there's multiple sublinks with drop sources to storage augs of the various types; ship scrapping a-class and s-class low inventory size works, since nr of storage augs that drops isn't tied to cargo inv size. additionally to that, yeah, mission boards, also guild envoys later on when you get enough standing

[ornate kite]

20 eggs. So 2 stacks

[viral wind]

How do you add a space station to your favorites and then give it a nick name. I added Annings to my favorites. I got to may favorites and it is not there.

[stuck berry]

You can only rename star systems if you are the one who first discovered it

renaming a star system renames it's space station too

Not sure about why it wouldn't appear in the favorites list though

[viral wind]

Ah my concern is that I'm not seeing Annings system in my space stations or my favorites. I'm currently teleported to there.

[stuck berry]

Normally the game hides the teleport entry for the space station you are currently at, so that's normal.

[viral wind]

I go out fire up the galazy map and the system is called Anings. \

I got it to show up thanks

[brazen flame]

what standing do you need to buy salvaged frigate modules from the merchants and mercaneries

[stuck berry]

Mercenaries never sell them, only Merchants and Explorers. Explorers need rank 8 while Merchants need rank 10 #nms-questions message

[brazen flame]

oh i mixed them up oops

[dim plaza]

do you have to move to the center to get another galaxy everytime after the first one

[analog scroll]

Also, you have better odds of finding them at the Merchants guild emissaries. There's only 2 items in the Exalted pool

[brazen flame]

yeah im levelling up mainly merchant atm

[analog scroll]

If you're traveling to the next one solo, yes. You can teleport or get a taxi to a new galaxy as well

[analog scroll]

Sorry, 3 items, though all 3 are useful

[dim plaza]

oh wait im dumb

I can just go thru the euclid galaxy center and choose any galaxy

then teleport back to it if I wanna swap

[analog scroll]

No, going through the Euclid center takes you to Hilbert

Going through the core always takes you to the next one in line

[dim plaza]

dang

so eventually I gotta move to the center

[analog scroll]

Or get a taxi

[dim plaza]

how

[analog scroll]

For example, if you want to get to Eissentam, there is a featured base in the Anomaly that will take you there

!starcablink @dim plaza

[tulip dust]

@dim plaza https://discord.gg/WgUdnbZJjh

[dim plaza]

I wish there was a way to easily go in-between them without a taxi cuz I wanna explore all of them

[analog scroll]

Build a base. The hard part is getting there the first time, but you can teleport to any base you own. You only need a base computer

[dim plaza]

oof

unfortunately im not unemployed enough to go to the center of all of them

[analog scroll]

x12 will get you within 5k of the core in every galaxy, then it's just a couple of jumps to get to where you can core warp to the next

[dim plaza]

12 what?

[analog scroll]

First portal glyph

[dim plaza]

oh okay

[ornate kite]

Does this timer continue even if iam offline (turned off game)?

Ok thank god

[spring whale]

Im building a base on a fairly populated planet that has a featured base on, but Ive reached the 3000 limit so I cant upload it, but does it really matter since the planet is populated? People will still see it right?

[stuck berry]

People will only see it when you are present in the star system

[spring whale]

Oh dang ok.

[stuck berry]

when you are away, they will see the latest uploaded version of your base if you uploaded it previously

unless it's rolled off due to too many more recent bases being uploaded

[spring whale]

Rolled off? Thats why the planet says there is 145 bases but i only see like 15 or so?

[brazen flame]

how do i get storm crystals

[analog scroll]

Harvest them on extreme hazard planets during storms

[stuck berry]

Most worlds that have Activated Stellar Metals listed, those with Star Bulb won't ever have them

[dim plaza]

theres so many troll bases with glyph thing

[vital estuary]

Plus the sea of message orbs...

With a good setup and prep work you can galaxy hop relatively quick, I know in one case only 15 minutes.
Lately it seems ive been picking the wrong system to freighter warp into so had to reposition 1-2 times first

[dim plaza]

why isnt there like a ship tech or a freighter tech that lets you warp between galaxies

[analog scroll]

Core warping is how you warp between galaxies

[dim plaza]

wait can you do it via the anomaly portal and going to bases on other galaxies?

[stuck berry]

Yes, either to other players' bases that are in other galaxies but are alongside you in the Space Anomaly right now, or the featured bases that are split between Eissentam, Kikogallr, Isdoraijung and Euclid, or by teleporting to bases that you have built in any galaxy

[gusty vapor]

@swift sand i got my remembrance module, because of your help last night. Thanks very much

[dim plaza]

thats way more convenient

just getting there and make a small base on each galaxy

[stuck berry]

Yes, you could do so at a portal in each one and have true full access to each galaxy

[dim plaza]

yeah thats way better but some galaxies people dont visit could be hard to find a base for

[mossy atlas]

How do you get to Odyalutai and why is it hidden now?

[simple yoke]

are you able to find living frigates in uncharted systems?

[analog scroll]

Only by joining someone already there

[mossy atlas]

Hnmm so how did they reached it?

[stuck berry]

Only by joining another player who is already there via multiplayer, or via save editing. It was only normally accessible before the Atlas Rises update in 2017 that added the main story and added galaxy types. We do not know why it was made normally unreachable.

[analog scroll]

They got there before it was made unreachable

[mossy atlas]

I see

[stuck berry]

Save editing, or reaching it before the Atlas Rises update in 2017, or joining another player themselves

[mossy atlas]

Hmm

Is it different in any why?

[mossy atlas]

I meant way

[stuck berry]

It's another normal galaxy.

[mossy atlas]

Hmm

[stuck berry]

Normal galaxies have the same biome probabilities in their yellow systems as Euclid Galaxy

It has no special features, and no glitches/issues that are known to be unique to it

[north depot]

i'm going insane

how do i access

the corvette cache inventory

?

it ate my parts

help

[stuck berry]

By walking up to it and interacting with it.

[north depot]

oh

[stuck berry]

It is next to the Corvette Workshop

[north depot]

i'm an idiot

everyone said the terminal

i thought it was like the parts terminal

i didnt see the other one

nvm me

[ornate kite]

@swift sand wth is this multi-tool

[vague geode]

Compare it and see for yourself.

[mild latch]

is there a way to repaint this part of a Freigther

[dim plaza]

what's the difference between a dreadnought and normal freighter

[stuck berry]

Visuals

[dim plaza]

thats it?

[stuck berry]

and where you find/acquire them

[dim plaza]

does it have any uses

[stuck berry]

Yes, all of the uses that freighters are for, as it is a freighter.

They are about as large as the largest capital freighter design lengths

[dim plaza]

so its the same but evil this time

[mild latch]

is their color preset to be red and balck

[stuck berry]

I'm not sure what you are referring to

All of the above freighters have random colors based on the system they're found in

[mild latch]

what about pirate

[stuck berry]

Pirate Dreadnoughts will still have their red holographic bits

[stuck berry]

They are in the image, I was referring to those too.

[mild latch]

i just want the like hangar part te be red

[stuck berry]

Oh, they have a red interior hangar and bridge

[dim plaza]

are people who use mods also in the same universe as non mods?

[stuck berry]

with slightly different decorations

[mild latch]

what baout thsi part

[stuck berry]

Yes #nms-modding message

[stuck berry]

Yes, that part is visually different, mainly on the outside

[dim plaza]

time to download an S class dreadnought spawner mod

[stuck berry]

and the lighting on the inside

[dim plaza]

that looks awesome

[mild latch]

how cna i get the color i want (its easier since unlike capitals there aint many diffrent versions

[stuck berry]

By hunting many of them, or relying on those found by other players in places like https://nmsce.com/ and reaching them using the portal glyphs

[vague geode]

Can't their colors be save edited as well?

[dim plaza]

woah thats crazy

[stuck berry]

You can just edit their colors in the freighter bridge, like any other freighter

[dim plaza]

how does the coordinates system work

[stuck berry]

Enter the portal glyphs into a portal to reach the destination planet. You must be at a portal #nms-commands message and have the portal glyphs unlocked #nms-commands message

[vague geode]

Yes - but parts of the original freighter don't recolor so save editing would take care of the hanger bay / bridge on a Venator wouldn't it?

[stuck berry]

Yes, you could replace the homesystemseed like any other freighter

[severe otter]

I was refining a bunch of stuff in my freigher and it all disappeared…

[stuck berry]

though the colors given by them follow a different randomization from regular/capital freighters

[mild latch]

whats teh best way to unlock glyphs

[stuck berry]

Completing the main story #nms-commands message

[dim plaza]

so evil

[stuck berry]

That happens when you leave items in them and go away, so don't do that. Babysit the resources

[dim plaza]

is there a way to cheese it

[severe otter]

Welp there goes 20k material

[stuck berry]

There are alternate methods of acquiring them #nms-commands message, but they are far more tedious and will not get you any closer to completing the main story which is required for other things like the autophage and purple star systems missions #nms-commands message

[dim plaza]

:(

whats the best way to find travelers

[delicate knot]

Anomaly

[vague geode]

It's pretty random. You just encounter them as you explore. Space stations are the easiest but planetary trade outposts and minor settlements sometimes have them too.

[dim plaza]

should I put time into settlements

I have a korvax one

[swift sand]

sorry for the late reply - an alien type multitool. having 2 supercharged slots next to each other is a nice bonus already!

[vague geode]

If you have never experienced it - why not try it and find out for yourself?

[dim plaza]

yah fair point

[swift sand]

grave farming? i'd suggest taking a look at !faq-portalglyphs (type it in #nms-commands ), check method C

[swift sand]

they can be somewhat useful, but probably something more for later on, when you basically have taken care of almost everything else lol.

[dim plaza]

right now they're losing 600k money per day

[ornate kite]

So its a keeper for now?

[slow hamlet]

how does going down the galaxy list work if I chose green at the end of the story. I chose eistannam. when I go to the galactic center again will I go to galaxy 2 on the list?

[dim plaza]

and someone has a monopoly over their local sewers

[swift sand]

can have up to 6 active tools - yep, i'd keep it, especially since i like how it looks

[gray shoal]

Eiseentam is galaxy 10. If u go to core again u will end up in 11

[slow hamlet]

what if I go to the core in Euclid?

[swift sand]

all settlements start pretty bad, but with your guidance and assistance, they'll be productive again - that said, that debt, that maintenance cost, that doesn't come out of your pocket, in case you were wondering

[gray shoal]

U will end up in hilbert dimention. Galaxy 2

[ornate kite]

My main is mostly gonna be either an atlas rifle or staff

[slow hamlet]

oh that's goated. I warped to a red galaxy at one point but didn't have any stations to teleport to because of a glitch so I'm glad it'll work anyways

kinda confusing though. so if I warp in Euclid to galaxy core, go back and warp in Euclid again I end up in galaxy 2 again?

[gray shoal]

Galaxies are in order . core of 1 puts u in 2 , core 2 puts u in 3 etc

[slow hamlet]

alright. I thought that the list continued no matter what galaxy core you warped too. glad it doesn't

I gotta get to galaxy 4 IIRC for a base building planet

[gray shoal]

Make base in each galaxy u reach so u can easy go back to it on will

[slow hamlet]

yeah I'll start doing that now.

paradise planets are cool but I wanna find harsh planets so I'll find a red galaxy soon

[swift sand]

#3 is the first, calypso

[dim plaza]

ok good

[tawny warren]

thinking about purchasing game. is there a 'mentor request' sign up anywhere?

[severe otter]

Ok folks i just fixed a bug that ate a bunch of my resources. This is for any of the question answering heroes to know.

What happened:
I put stuff in 5 large refiners on my freighter, used the teleporter, came back and all refiners were empty and i lost everything.

How i got my stuff back:
I jumped once in the galaxy map and the refiners filled back up so i could withdraw everything

[dim plaza]

also can I summon my freighter across systems

[severe otter]

Yes if it can jump that distance

[dim plaza]

oh barnacles

it cant

[severe otter]

Then theres your answer. Also needs fuel

[winter phoenix]

Needs the relevant color drive upgrade too, just like regular starships

[clear marsh]

why isn’t this working?

[vague geode]

Did you craft it? Is it in your ship inventory? Have you done a long pulse?

[swift sand]

can always ask any gameplay/tech support questions you may have/come up here 🙂 for general chat about the game, probably best to go #no-mans-sky , and there's also plenty of user communities out there ( #1418605454300549120 )

[clear marsh]

im doing it but its not working, idk why

[swift sand]

nice, thanks for the headsup! you might be surprised to know that sometimes toggling multiplayer on and off could also have the same effect 😄

[swift sand]

summoning freighter doesn't require hyperdrive range or fuel, only an extra tech if not summoning to yellow star systems cc @winter phoenix

[swift sand]

dream aerial only works for the first living frigate of a save - are you still trying to get your first?

[dim plaza]

||does Apollo show up at your freighter once you do his quest an if yes what module will he show up at?||

pls answer people answer this

where will he go tho

[analog scroll]

You will find out

[dim plaza]

I did his quest but cant find him

it says return to base

my base is technically the freighter but I do have one small planetary one

[swift sand]

apollo is a main story npc that will help you on your journey and search for artemis, but he wont be your base crew member

[dim plaza]

where is he tho

it says return to base

but im already there

[swift sand]

what missions do you have in your Log atm? what does the mission tooltip lower right of the screen when you're playing say you need to do?

[swift sand]

i'd suggest using a planet base to progress expanding the base secondary mission

[dim plaza]

ghost in the machine

[swift sand]

you'll be able to move your base crew there later

[swift sand]

i meant all of them

[clear marsh]

no, so how do i get my second one?

[dim plaza]

space anomaly and atlas path

[swift sand]

dump dream aerial, obtain anomaly detectors, use anomaly detector - remember 1 living frigate hired per system

[swift sand]

now secondary missions

or just screenshot full mission log

[clear marsh]

ok thank you

[swift sand]

in any case, sounds to me that you need to get to a planet base, not a freighter base - build and claim a base comp anywhere if you dont already have one, doesn't matter, just to progress the quest

[dim plaza]

oh okay

thanks

[swift sand]

@dim plaza if you dont already have it, expanding the base secondary mission shouldnt take long to trigger after that

[dim plaza]

oh alright

[tulip dust]

@dim plaza remember that we can force cycle tooltips lower right of the screen

Hints lower right of the screen can be force cycled by just spam pressing H or D-pad Left as needed.

Shared by: bkay201 Contributor(s): Atlas Emissaries

[swift sand]

those are the ones you want to look out for

mission log is more generalized

[dim plaza]

alright

[winter phoenix]

I feel like that's what I said, but it doesn't hurt to clarify

[swift sand]

yeah; i was afraid that the fact that you a) didn't clarify that range isnt needed for summon and b) used the word "too", could be seen as an ack that freighter does need range, because it was mentioned above (again, it doesn't)

[winter phoenix]

Ah, I see what you mean. I thought it did need fuel though. Is that not the case?

[analog scroll]

Not to summon

[winter phoenix]

My bad, thanks for clarifying!

[delicate knot]

i got this quest for the 2nd blueprint but when i go to marked coordinates theres no autophage and the quest thinks there is

[swift sand]

have you tried uncloaking them? press quick scan

[delicate knot]

oh it spawns them i se

see

thanks

[ornate kite]

@swift sand before i go to sleep. Got a question

Whats this?

[analog scroll]

The rest of us are also capable of answering

Used to find your first living frigate

!faq-livingfrigate in #nms-commands for info on it. Anomaly Detectors will be used for any after your first

[ornate kite]

Oooo.

So thats how i get those frigates

Nice

[alpine ember]

those anomaly detectors can retrieve sentinel corvette parts also, i believe. been trying to get one from the explorers guild but one hasn't popped up yet

or frigate if that's a diff kinda ship. im new

[ornate kite]

So there is a way for me to get sentinal corvette parts without expedition (since i misst it)

[alpine ember]

yeah i asked umm, google a number of times over a number of nights. chance seems high

red star systems more likely, or so it told me

[gray shoal]

No. Aeron corvette parts where only expedition phase rewards. Cant get them i the wild.

They are tradeable tho

So u can ask other player for them

[alpine ember]

k so gemini talking out of its bum again. noted ty

[gray shoal]

🤣

Ai spits out bs mostly

[knotty bramble]

What does one do now with the Void Egg? Cracking void egg

I know I need to find a specific planet for it, but what's the best way to do this

[analog scroll]

If you were just given a cracking void egg, delete it. It's worthless. Unless you are actually doing the Starbirth mission and are on that step, it will not do anything

[knotty bramble]

I'm actually on that mission yeah

[analog scroll]

Then the destination shown is referring to portal coordinates in the Euclid galaxy

[knotty bramble]

Gotcha, thanks!

[delicate knot]

how do i get to atlas i cant find one and polo cant give me coordinates to one neither

[analog scroll]

That mission will guide you to one

[delicate knot]

how so

do i just warp randomly?

[analog scroll]

No, look for the mission marker

[delicate knot]

theres none

[severe otter]

Can nitrogen and radon scanner sources be found on any planet?

[analog scroll]

No, nitrogen hotspots are found on Lush, Toxic, Swamp, or Blue biomes, Radon on Irradiated, Frozen, or Green

[delicate knot]

looked up on reddit so if anyone needs it it only works in euclid

[analog scroll]

That is not true. Atlas Stations are in every galaxy

[delicate knot]

yeah but this specific quest

[analog scroll]

There is only 1 part of 1 quest that has a required location. Every other mission can be done in any galaxy. I did that particular mission in galaxy 110

[delicate knot]

it works now in euclid

i tried it

it didnt work in the green galaxy forgor the name

[knotty bramble]

Can you make activated cadmium back into regular cadmium?

[spice vessel]

I put the glyphs for the portal and it keeps saying atlas corruption

How do I fix that

[analog scroll]

Then you're in the wrong galaxy for the destination, or the destination is a purple system and you don't have those unlocked

[spice vessel]

How do I unlock them

[tulip dust]

@spice vessel
-# to view info below, enable embeds

How to get started with Worlds Part 2 Content

📖 Warning Purple systems are considered End-Game content as of 5.50, as such you are required to finish a certain amount of the game before you can access them

1. Complete the Artemis Path (the main story of the game)

• !faq-artemispath in #nms-commands will show the steps

2. Complete the Atlas Path (Atlas Eternal needs to be in your mission log)
3. Find a Harmonic Camp and release the multi tool seal

• !faq-interceptor in #nms-commands will show you how to find them

4. Warp to trigger They Who Returned, complete the Autophage missions
5. Return to Space and pulse until hailed
6. New Mission In Stellar Multitudes should trigger
7. Finish the mission completely to reveal all purple systems on the galaxy map.

BEFORE YOU START it would be a good idea to craft 1 Living Glass

Once you start In Stellar Multitudes, DO NOT warp far from the initial system. You will need to return to it to get to your revealed Purple system. If you have to leave, leave via the Space Station Teleporter in the system with the Atlas Station!

[zinc cloak]

Are there planets that just don't have any caves? I think I found one. Wouldn't that be probabilistically impossible in real life for a planet to not have any caves? Unless maybe the gravity was way more than any human could bear.

[swift sand]

i dont think i've ever been to a planet that didn't have caves, with a special mention and possible exception going to waterworld biome planets, where it might be harder or impossible to find land and therefore eventually caves on the surface. when i'm looking for caves, i tend to always try to use my visor to look for subterranean relic/humming sac icons, as those are always in caves

[alpine ember]

It would be nice if the engine followed the physics of gravity.. high gravity = low mountains.
low gravity = olympus etc.
we don't even have rivers.
there's probably alot that it does consider

back in the 90's there was an app called vistapro .. happened shortly after the fractal generation thing. we dreamt of exploring these worlds we could now render

still no rivers

[zinc cloak]

It isn't a water world, and I've managed to find all flora, almost all fauna (the missing one being a rare underwater creature), and all but 2 minerals, and I still have yet to find any caves, much less go into one to scan anything. If I find another mineral outside of a cave, I'd say that guarantees there are no caves, bc where there are caves, there are at least 2 minerals exclusive to them (stalagmites and stalactites).

[alpine ember]

I've done the permadeath achievement but have yet to create an aqua base.
i tip my hat towards those that have.

whole nother game, no doubt.

[swift sand]

yeah, terrain gen can sometimes create shapes that look like rivers, but there isnt the actual physics to make that happen in the game atm. pretty sure that's something the devs would also love to have someday. always feel free to submit suggestions via the zendesk link though

!hg

[tulip dust]

Submit bug reports, suggestions or feedback to Hello Games here: https://hellogames.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/requests/new

[swift sand]

hmm, well, can you try finding a big landmass, and then use visor to look for subterranean relic/humming sac icons? then using terrain manip to dig down?

[alpine ember]

water table is a convenient term for the limitation of modern sandbox games

one altitude. nothing above

[zinc cloak]

I've been doing that too, haven't seen anything. Also did the sort-of cheating thing where you dig a hole then move to the wall and ceiling so the camera clips through the terrain a little bit and you can see if there's anything within a moderately close distance.

[swift sand]

going underworld or abusing that camera movement lol, yeah can work too sometimes, that's totally right. that said, have you tried looking for buildings on the planet? often, there's cave entrances near them

[alpine ember]

very often. i try to look for cave entrances when i found a base and i usually found a base near a structure because it perks interest then i notice a cave

[orchid latch]

Has anyone had the strange message saying Inventory full 🤔 and you have space in everything

[swift sand]

when you load in the game/save?

[zinc cloak]

Yes lol that was my first Idea and I've found multiple but most of them didn't create any gaping differences in the terrain unfortunately.

[swift sand]

with exocraft scanning tech, you could easily pop from building to building, hoping for that

[zinc cloak]

Here is the planet address if anyone wants to help me search.

[orchid latch]

Yea that's where it starts but also a few minutes into the game.

[swift sand]

i want to say that this is a bug related to settlement - one of your settlements: did you recently sent and completed a settlement expedition?

[zinc cloak]

Oh hadn't thought of that yet. I think I've only installed that kind of scanner on my nautilon for the quest tho. guess I'll check.

[swift sand]

also see image

[zinc cloak]

ty

[alpine ember]

crashed freighter seems to be the most attractive, singular. attributed to only the sub

[orchid latch]

I added my second about a month ago but I'm sure this started about a week ago 🤔 long time after my 2nd settlement.

[swift sand]

but do any of the settlements completed an expedition, have one pending for you to get the rewards, when you login?

[alpine ember]

does anyone have a POI that vanishes when you turn to it. (distress beacon in this case)
i put in a bug report but it wasn't important enough for them to attend to.
i reset reality.. it's still there

[zinc cloak]

Yes I have this too every time a settlement expedition finishes. Don't know why.

[swift sand]

but it's the hud marker that vanishes when you look straight at it, or the actual POI itself?

[alpine ember]

hud marker top of the screen.

turn to direct towards, gone.

'it's a known bug' is all i got from google

no mods.. survival mode

[swift sand]

this is the known bug i was thinking of yeah, but not sure if it is quite the same, especially because they've said that it can also happen a bit later into a game session

[alpine ember]

well.. it's a lovely planet and im not leaving it. so i guess i live with it.

red exclamation mark mussing up my glance

[swift sand]

when you say top of the screen, do you mean that it's a marker in the compass, or that it's a HUD marker that just happens to get placed at the top of the screen (a hud marker added by something like a minotaur or an emergency chart?)

[alpine ember]

there's no mid screen nomination, it's on the compass till u turn to it

and..

from space also

[swift sand]

not sure i understand correctly what's happening, if it's a POI you already visited in that session, save+reload should clear it then i think

[zinc cloak]

Aaand I just found the second to last mineral without finding any stalagmites or stalactites... guess there are no caves on this planet.

[alpine ember]

i took a screenie i suppose i could again if you're really interested but it's not just me here and this isn't as important as other conversations.
Bk.. umm. no. warping away didn't fix it resetting reality (i was pre end game) didn't fix it.
reload save etc did not.
ok give me a few mins

[knotty bramble]

How do I find a portal btw, and will I have needed to complete the full main story in order to use one?

[swift sand]

also sounds like it could be a bug, in that case, i'd start checking if it happens with a diff multitool/ship equipped, even with a diff save - but yeah, not sure i'm really understanding the actual issue

[alpine ember]

top right

1 inch turn, gone

I initiated the find whilst in-ship so it did not do the annoying time wasting birds eye thing animation

but it didn't simply.. do what it normally does in ship

tripped over itself thus behold.. bug

[swift sand]

1. !faq-portal in #nms-commands
2. to use a portal to go somewhere you primarily need the portal glyph set unlocked, but completing the main story is a requirement to unlock purple star systems, and unlocking those and the glyphs are what you need to be able to fully use portals
3. that said, there are other ways to learn the glyph set that isn't completing the main storyline (type !faq-portalglyphs in #nms-commands , strongly recommend method C)

[swift sand]

so this is stuck?

[alpine ember]

if you make it front and center it vanishes

[swift sand]

right

[alpine ember]

it moves as it should until.. front and center

[swift sand]

okay so first thing that comes to mind: summon minotaur, scan for distress signals

this should have the ability to overwrite any existing markers of the same type i.e. emergency, distress signal

[alpine ember]

did that, it found one but didn't present a new marker

just now

same marker but didn't fix the vanishing

[swift sand]

2. is your freighter in the current system?

[alpine ember]

yes

[swift sand]

3. do you have your base crew terminals built on it?

[alpine ember]

you have at least.. Zoid! nice name.
you have at least localised the issue for me in my head

on this planet? yes

[knotty bramble]

Oh, Can I ask you a question in dms? About the main story

[alpine ember]

it's not important. i appreciate your intellectual curiosity but lets move on 🙂

[swift sand]

4. does freighter not have base crew rooms built? does it have scanner room built?

[alpine ember]

why does the freighter matter?

[swift sand]

thing is, i've seen this bug before - and pretty sure we eventually found a way

[alpine ember]

ok sec

[swift sand]

something about it sometimes makes a save run out of "marker space to use", and then some markers stop appearing or vanish

weird bug

[alpine ember]

planetary scanner.. yeah they come with that even before u learn the blueprint.. crew rooms? nope

yeah that's what google told me.. too many poi's but.. ive added more after

[swift sand]

scanner room is an unlockable freighter base part that you can unlock and build later on, if you wanted to keep making use of it

[alpine ember]

you have shown me i can't add more alike distress beacon ones because this is blocking them. Tho i have used the ... cartography function to add more

Yeah i actually unlocked it, built it then realised i already had one

so then i had two.

Im sorry for mentioning the bug. this is boring compared to what everyone else is feeding the feed with.

but thank you

[swift sand]

ok so another question, for another angle: your base crew members - did you complete all of their quests already?

[alpine ember]

the scientist and etc yeah.. i get thrown new ones by the prime one but i think it's just dust. completed main

[swift sand]

never be sorry for mentioning a bug/asking for help, that's why this channel exists. and if someone else has another question, they can just pop it

[alpine ember]

i have a habit of talking too much i seek stoicism. to evolve.
but ok..
yeah i did that quest load. the farmer too

[swift sand]

2 angles:

1. if you completed all the crew member quests, and now it's just repeatable missions, no more quests - try deleting the base crew terminals from bases on that planet, then save+restart. especially the overseer, the scientist, the farmer, and the exocraft technician
2. delete scanner room(s) from freighter, save+restart game, try again

[alpine ember]

5 minutes.

deleted freighter scanner - deleted crew stations onplanet including my hydroponics.. clicked save point. exited game..
restarting

Still there.

und so i retire from the issue.
more advice should be delivered through pm.
watching a movie
but thank you

[swift sand]

okay sorry to hear it, enjoy the movie

after deleting scanner room+all crew terminals+ensuring they're all on repeatable missions+freighter isnt in the current system, my next suggestion would be to try checking if it now lets player properly overwrite it again with a minotaur or a nautilon, spam if it needed. dropping this here to not walk out of the train of thought i had going, but will dm the user as well

[alpine ember]

i will turn back to that footnote when new energy becomes me.
i do well with 'stage presence' but this is not my stage.
Thank you BK. lets roll back to fun questions

[orchid latch]

Yea just checked

[swift sand]

yeah, that'd be the same bug then. definitely shouldnt be happening, but it's a minor one, doesn't seem to affect anything

!hg

[tulip dust]

Submit bug reports, suggestions or feedback to Hello Games here: https://hellogames.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/requests/new

[orchid latch]

Ok will report
I done a few reports lately mainly with VR issue.
Tar 4 feedback

[swift sand]

ty for taking the time

[lost kestrel]

how is the lights still on in abandoned space stations hundreds of or maybe thousands of years after everyone is dead

[hexed thorn]

BK

You run nms on Linux right?

[gray shoal]

Solar panels

[lost kestrel]

not some nuclear shit?

wonder why we got uranium and antimatter but nothing those power anything with

[hexed thorn]

What distro do you use? I was thinking of installing Linux sometime but idk how playing/modding nms would go

[swift sand]

lets' dm

[hexed thorn]

[lost kestrel]

instead we have two things, gas generator, and solar panel, what is the game 1960?

they had that shit in the 60s

[gray shoal]

It can be quantum atlas fart there is no info about what powers it. So make up your own headcanon

[gray shoal]

Simple and works. Game was inspried by old school space fantasy sci - fi books and media

[spice vessel]

How do I get Expanding your base quest

[gray shoal]

It will trigger at some point of story

[lost kestrel]

id like a flying saucer not the millenium falcon ripoff

boundary herald is an obvious nod to milenium falcon

[gray shoal]

Game has ton of references

[pearl yew]

how do i get more people at my settlement

[gray shoal]

Number will grow eventualy as u expand and upgrade it

[spice vessel]

How to get people into my base

[gray shoal]

Pepole?

Like players? Give them coords and maybe they will visit

[spice vessel]

I’m trying to do the artemis mission

[gray shoal]

What mission

[spice vessel]

Ghost in the machine

And it says

Expand and staff your new home

How do I do that

[stuck berry]

Track and progress the Secondary Mission "Expanding the Base"

it tells you specifically to do this in the lower right

[spice vessel]

The problem is that I don’t have that mission unlocked

[stuck berry]

Go to your base and place down the Construction Terminal

[alpine ember]

my question is.. if we can fold space-time with experimental technologies.. why do we still use wires.

Those lights don't use wires. there's your answer

[spice vessel]

How do I get that

[alpine ember]

Early mission line. follow the main stuff with artemis and shizzle.

I get confused.. that's the overseer crew member isn't it

[stuck berry]

You should already have it's blueprint by now

[alpine ember]

at some point the main questline will tell you to develop your base.. this is step one
