When you get later into the game there are cooking recipes you can make for buffs that will give you huge amounts of materials when you mine, and that way you can get even more mould per deposit. It just takes a while to set up, so might not be too feasible for you yet

I started playing a while ago too and only recently set up my farms. You kinda need to be present for the harvesting to work tho

[atomic fractal]

I've heard about the scan donut that gives you a lot of units but I already got really rich before even trying to dig into that

[nova zealot]

Yeah that's one of the recipes. There's another that boosts the amount of material you get from mining with your multitool

[atomic fractal]

Sentinel ships are such an easy money with so little prep needed

[zinc cloak]

The first 4 items in the list are always the starship reactors. Don't buy them unless you wanna put together a non-corvette starship.

[atomic fractal]

Damn that's crazy how you can earn everything in the game passively but nanites are the only ones which need a hard grind

[atomic fractal]

I'm aware. I've built 2 already

[zinc cloak]

Ok cool

[atomic fractal]

I really wish there was a filter for the amount of stars on systems. It's such a struggle to find 3 stars systems

[zinc cloak]

Yeah me too. they need economy RANK filter as well as an economy TYPE filter.

[atomic fractal]

Don't we have economy type already?

[zinc cloak]

Yeah that's why I said as well as...

[atomic fractal]

I also wish pirate systems had their own colors in the conflict map

[zinc cloak]

Yeah that would be included in an economy rank filter, as black market is considered it's own rank.

[atomic fractal]

Are they? Because they still have colors and a symbol of commerce, which I'm not sure about the purpose of. What's the matter if the pirate system or energy or techñ

[zinc cloak]

Economy rank is either 1 star, 2 stars, 3 stars, or black market. You'll notice black market has no star ranking bc it is its own rank.

[atomic fractal]

Oh you were talking about that

[atomic fractal]

How long does it take you to get a ship to S rank doing your method?

I kinda felt bad using the duplication glitch on the suspicious packets. It was a bit too easy

[zinc cloak]

Depends on if you're doing it casually with other things or only doing that, jumping to the next station as soon as you finish the last. But you get about 6000 nanites per station. Also depends on your difficulty.

[atomic fractal]

The only thing I don't regret using those are the upgrade stuff for freighter which are absurdly rare and precious and ship parts. Sometimes I need multiple to finish my Corvette and I have to go to the method. I'd probably burn out if I didn't do those 2

[atomic fractal]

So I suppose 6k is in regular difficulty?

Welp I'd need a lot more than 10 jumps to get one ship of mine S class. But I suppose it should be difficult lol it's S class after all

[zinc cloak]

Yes. I haven't tried the other difficulties.

[sacred falcon]

Question, is there an upgrade item for classes of frieghters, or do i just trade for a better one. and what happens to my base on the old one? do I have to rebuild?

[stuck berry]

Only trade for a better one, and most things from your previous one transfer to the new one #nms-questions message

[zinc cloak]

If you're on regular difficulty, A to S is 50,000 nanites, so you could get that in 9 stations.

[atomic fractal]

Your base transfers. But not your inventory. Clear it but leave 3 useless items because a bug can happen

[sacred falcon]

most - whats doesn't?

[stuck berry]

Core cargo and technology inventories, so package those to either storage containers or ship/suit inventory etc

[atomic fractal]

Yeah but a Corvette and other ships start at C lol

[stuck berry]

Freighter class cannot be increased using nanites, unlike starships and multi-tools

[atomic fractal]

Wanted to say Corvette

[stuck berry]

The cost does scale with the chosen difficulty option though

But all types of starships and multi-tools that are not corvettes can begin as any class
(except exotic and living ships which are always S-Class)

[atomic fractal]

About to open a save on discounted so I'll never use duplication glitch anymore

[atomic fractal]

What are those numbers?

[stuck berry]

The chances for all freighters, starships and multi-tools to be those classes, per local system economy tier

(besides corvette, exotic and living ships of course)

[atomic fractal]

Wait a multi tool costs as much as a starship to be upgraded?

[wet sigil]

There is a mod on NMS that changes the color of outlaw stars to the same purple as the purple stars in conflict filter

[nova zealot]

Anyone know which of the exotic creatures give hexaberry when harvested? Was it the floating crystals? I plucked some a while back but can't remember now

[stuck berry]

I think all of them that can be interacted with do, but not fully sure

you can also harvest them from the planets themselves

[atomic fractal]

I feel really lucky right now, because the 3 freighters I had were S,A and S

[atomic fractal]

A Sentinel Ship, Venator and Pirate Dreadnought

[brave moat]

Does the quicksilver glitch not work anymore? I am trying to get the void egg using the quicksilver glitch on the anomoly, but the bug isn't bugging

[stuck berry]

What "quicksilver glitch"? The one where you unlock something, then reload to before you unlocked it?

That only works with things that are unlocked across all saves upon first purchase. The Void Egg is not one of those items, as it is an inventory item that you can buy it repeatedly.

[brave moat]

ah, ok

[mossy terrace]

how do i make these lights turn on on my corvette

?

can somone tell me please?

[atomic fractal]

All saves? Quicksilver products like comestics just need to be bought once per account?

[stuck berry]

Yes, this is true

[stuck berry]

They should be on by default, I am not sure why they are not on

[atomic fractal]

Holy shit they might be worth the suffering. I've been doing the reload bug lol

[mossy terrace]

i reset and they work

[round ledge]

Does all the animals reset when you upgrade your scanner? I scanned some animals on the planet my base is on, and when I bought a class upgrade I had to rescan

[ember helm]

no

[stuck berry]

Creature/everything's discovery status eventually resets after you've discovered hundreds more things since discovering them

If you upload their discovery, they will still have their discovery date/your name, and the custom name you gave them

[round ledge]

Hmm I wonder what happened then

[ember helm]

that's not that many units, you're probably fine

[ember helm]

probably what grouch said; how long ago did you scan them

[round ledge]

Oh ok

I didnt read that mb

[granite sail]

How to get s class freighter?

[shell ridge]

Gotta find it.

[stuck berry]

and be lucky! (and/or look in the right places)

[granite sail]

Ic 🥀

[stuck berry]

Thankfully freighter class is incredibly unimportant, borderline useless early on

[granite sail]

Important? May i ask why? (Kinda new)

[stuck berry]

Unimportant, because it only affects hyperdrive and fleet coordination stat ranges, as well as inventory slot upgrade limits and the amount of supercharged slots it has

all of these things are basically impossible to make use of without tons of upgrades and an actual goal with much knowledge of what freighters are used for in mind

[granite sail]

Ohhhh

[stuck berry]

it's heavily advised against postponing your first freighter until it's a high class, as you would be wasting your time since most of the use of a freighter is regardless of it's class

they're most useful as early as possible, since the ability to build all 10 storage containers aboard them in the form of Storage Rooms lifts a lot of the pain of inventory management, since you can summon your freighter to your position at will for free from infinite distance (given it's hyperdrive can access the local star color)

[honest dirge]

Having a freighter also unlocks access to dreadnaught battles

So if a person wants one of those as a freighter, it good to snatch up a freighter as early as you can

[winter phoenix]

I don't disagree with earlier advice, but I do want to make the case for upgrading to S class freighters and maxing out slots soon too. The main inventory slots on a freighter are quite useful since anything stored in them are available as if they were in your own inventory once you have the matter beam. That's really just a convenience, but it means you don't have to take items out to use them for crafting and such.

[tiny brook]

trying to farm for an S class pirate dreadnought but i'm only getting C classes. am i just unlucky or am i doing it wrong?

I have a restore point in a non-outlaw system, im reloading there, heading to the same outlaw system over and over. taking the ship down, boarding and checking the class, if not S i restore.

[winter phoenix]

Pretty sure the same system will always have the exact same result. Which is how the NMS coordinate exchange has gotten so popular. 🙂

[tiny brook]

ah- so i have to go to a different system each time?

[winter phoenix]

Well, more or less. If you know a system will yield an S-class, you could go to that system over and over until the fight is triggered

[honest dirge]

What is the economy rank of the system?

[tiny brook]

whatever this is

[honest dirge]

You need to be in a 2 *, 3 * or 💀

Ah

You have a 5% chance to run into A class

That's an outlaw system. High chance for c classes, but also a higher chance to run into S class

[honest dirge]

This chart here can help

You're doing it right, you're just having luck issues

[tiny brook]

is that for pirate dreadnaughts too or just regular freighters?

[stuck berry]

All

The chart applies to all starships, multi-tools, frigates and freighters, except for exotic ships, living ships and corvette-class starships which have their initial class overridden

[tiny brook]

alr. so i have to go to a different outlaw system each time? or can i keep reloading the same one to roll an S class?

[stuck berry]

You could keep looking in the same system to find ones with a different class

[tiny brook]

alr

so i just keep reloading and going here for the best chance?

cause i've done it like 5-6 times and only got Cs so far

[stuck berry]

each time a freighter spawns, it's class is rolled, so each time you see one warp in or make a rescue event start is a whole new chance to get an S-Class one

[stuck berry]

This is normal

[tiny brook]

oh yea

mb didint see lmao

forgot outlaws are 85 5 5 5

[tiny brook]

any idea what uprades work with this gun?

[stuck berry]

All Photon Cannon upgrades and technology

[tiny brook]

photon cannon, got it

[ornate kite]

There is 1 thing iam unsure of

If theres 1 thing i need to do. Is showing my corvette some love. But idk if i can put tech uppgrades onto it, i mean it allready got 3 of everything due to the parts i added to it.

[stuck berry]

You can add up to 60 technology slots to S-Class starships, you can still add regular starship upgrades/technology to further improve what you wish to improve

[winter phoenix]

Regular ship upgrades are still essential for corvettes. They stack with the corvette parts

[tiny brook]

i love how this stations name is the something 'sphere'

[ornate kite]

@winter phoenix @stuck berry confirm what u 2 just said. I wanna be sure. Please

[stuck berry]

Confirm what?

We do not lie, that would be against the purpose of this channel.

[winter phoenix]

I'm not sure. The coordinate exchange has a lot of posts about where to find s-class freighters though. I got mine on the first try when following one. But there could be other aspects at play: https://www.reddit.com/r/NMSCoordinateExchange/search/?q=freighter+s-class&cId=95b0dba4-9270-478e-9444-71eac66993a4&iId=904a6556-6336-4bcd-a695-9f9858d73fc4

[ornate kite]

Yeah sorry. I just wanna be sure.

[stuck berry]

But confirm what, that you can add up to 60 technology slots to any S-Class starship or that all starship technology works with corvettes? Because both are true.

[stuck berry]

Know that freighter class is truly fully random, so searching for a specific class of freighter is useless

Searching for one in a specific economy tier would be more important, or searching for one that's in a system that ignores the cooldown if you qualify for pirate dreadnought events

[ornate kite]

Reason i ask is, whant my corvette to be strong as a fighter and also be a mobile base when iam far away from my main base.

[stuck berry]

You can do that, that is what may people do

The corvette modules' synergy with standard starship technology is essential for that

If you could not install standard starship technology, they would be significantly worse than all other starship types

[winter phoenix]

Ah, sorry. I think we got the topics confused. I can 100% confirm that corvettes can and SHOULD be upgraded with regular ship upgrades. Here's an example of my layout:

Corvette-only upgrades are nice, but they are far weaker than regular upgrades. The main use for them is to can provide adjacency for your normal upgrades.

[ornate kite]

Ok thanks. Then thats what iam gonna do today. Work on my corvette a little.

[tiny brook]

LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[kindred ridge]

Trying the game for the first time and im expecting a lot

[autumn talon]

way more than a lot

[urban crane]

ohhh welcome to nms

[tiny brook]

anyone here know where i can find info on freighter building? i have a dreadnought rn but i have no idea where to start with building

[honest dirge]

Start with a base that uses storage units so you have portable storage

Don't worry about building a full on base and freighter until you have more resources

[vague geode]

I don't know of a building guide but the space you have to expand into is something like 20 x 20 x 20.

I like to keep industry on the lowest level and work up level by level from there.

[tiny brook]

i have a solid amount of resources

[vague geode]

How are you set for freighter base parts unlocks?

[tiny brook]

no idea lmao

[vague geode]

As you come out of the freighter building area - off the green steps - there is a base expansion terminal you should interact with and explore on the central console.

[weak schooner]

How do I travel this far??? Like is their a quicker way than just system hopping?

718,250 LYs away

[tiny brook]

this?

[vague geode]

Yes there are quicker ways to get to the core. One is to get a ride with another player. Another is to check the anomaly for a featured base that might be near the core.

There is a third way that is considered a spoiler that might be listed in the spoiler channel.

[dim plaza]

uh

I have an issue

hold on

is the quest name they who returned?

[kindred ridge]

How to change pov on console?

[ivory dawn]

If you have the first glyph(sunrise), put that into a portal, it will get you 2-3 jumps from the centre:)

[kindred ridge]

Nvm

[ivory dawn]

Sorry

[dim plaza]

hey uh the they who returned emergency signal doesnt appear for me

I did a bunch of requirements and did everything correctly

but it just won't appear

what do I doooo

I fully did artemis, atlas, got the harm camp, lifted seals

tey who returned mission isnt even in my log

somehow

[wet sigil]

You need to warp

[dim plaza]

oh okay

[wet sigil]

#nms-commands message

You need to warp, not pulse

[dim plaza]

do i have to keep using pulse engine for it to appear

I warped a bunch of times last night

[wet sigil]

You need to wait for a little after warpkng

[dim plaza]

tried it

how long

[wet sigil]

Give it a minute

[vague geode]

@dim plaza #bot-spam message

[dim plaza]

I warp with a freighter ans then exit if that makes a difference

[wet sigil]

you have to do it on a starship

[dim plaza]

oh

alright

[wet sigil]

Not on a freighter

[dim plaza]

I will warp with the starship if the game doesnt freaking crash on the intro for the 80th time

OH IT WORKED

I got three options

run autodiagnostics, verify system integrity and view fragmentation map

whcih

help someone

oh wait only one worms

[wet sigil]

It doesn't matter, the game will pivot you to the correct one eventually

[kindred ridge]

Guys i lost my base how do i get to it again

[wet sigil]

Use teleporter on the space station

[kindred ridge]

can't i just reach it on foot?

[vague geode]

If on the same planet - yes. Might be quicker to summon your ship and fly.

If you placed a base computer and claimed a base properly then there should be a marker on your HUD to guide you.

[kindred ridge]

Okay ill look

[kindred ridge]

Ty man

Wait its not mine looolll

[vague geode]

That is a point of interest - a base icon looks like a dome.

@kindred ridge It will look like the icon in the upper left of this image - #nms-questions message

[kindred ridge]

I found it now ty

[granite sail]

Can anyone tell me what's this expedition thingy and how do you unlock it

[ornate kite]

I gotta ask. How do i heal this (top left corner) my screen goes all red each hit i take

[winter phoenix]

Many structures on planets have heal stations on the walls you can use. You can also build them yourself in your base or corvette

Hi I haven’t played the game in years what should I do

I have 45 million units

U can explore in any ship

Cool ship u will get along the way

How do I get the landing pad for my base?

[orchid latch]

I noticed a few times now with my living ship it seems to pause while flying like it taking a deep breath 🤣

[granite sail]

Best way to get child of aquarius?

[gray shoal]

Fishing

Or u can try asking for it in #nms-lfg-or-trades

[dim plaza]

the autophages want me to salvage a ship component

do i gotta claim scrap or extract module

[unborn wasp]

hey friends. is there a chance to still get the altas staff? and what about all the other rewards of the expeditions?

[swift sand]

if you can, i'd strongly recommend getting/upgrading a settlement, to get a s-class fishing pond. fishing at it, obtaining child of aquarius will be a walk in the park, wont even need to use any bait. otherwise, yeah, bionic lure for bait, keep fishing

[granite sail]

Sheesh... Icic

Well i just recently got a fish pond

[swift sand]

either for free (keep progressing base computer archives) or using salvaged data at the anomaly to unlock it, or its alt version

[dim plaza]

uh

[granite sail]

I recently just unlocked the robot race settlement

[dim plaza]

what

[weak schooner]

Thanks

[dim plaza]

lol

[swift sand]

ime: s-class fishing pond, 6 casts, 4 child of aquarius

[weak schooner]

Mb

[granite sail]

Ooooooo

[swift sand]

scrap, keep the items

[granite sail]

Icic

[dim plaza]

ok

[swift sand]

officially, got to wait for the devs to bring them back again - unofficially, there's ways (on pc ofc, it's really easy with a save editor or a mod to get exp rewards to become purchaseable from qs shop - you could even rerun old expeditions offline. other platforms with multiplayer support, there's service bot; some rewards like companion eggs and most of the ships can be gifted between players)

[unborn wasp]

ok thank you

[mild latch]

whats the best anti allasing for NMS

[swift sand]

i'd suggest that you should experiment; some folks tend to still like TAA, while others have moved on to DLSS (when available), FSR2, and even Xess, and are experimenting with those.

[mild latch]

i got a 100 HZ monitor meaning ghosting/frame draging) is also something i worry about allot

[mild latch]

^

[ornate kite]

@swift sand should i? (Both are pirate dreadnought)

[mild latch]

oh seems that FSR 2.0 native is best for me since when set to native it dosnt upscale at all

[swift sand]

yeah, was about to say that if your hardware can hit 100fps on native, then you shouldnt really be seeing any ghosting or dragging. that said, fsr2 native does display some edge pixelation on some objects when they're in front of things like planetary rings

[mild latch]

i never realized before now how optimized NMS is, like my RTX 3080 (wich is sligthly like a little OCed by hand) runs all max settings with 100 fps no stutter (i due need to turn of MP for this but i rarely play online so)

[mild latch]

actoully it hits 70-90 fps but thats good enough

[swift sand]

• seems the new freighter has 1 supercharged slot revealed, while current has none? if that's true, then i'd say that it's a good swap (package your b-class freighter tech first if you can, if not that's fine)
• if you dont really care about a freighter tech build atm, it's like having the a-class is almost just for upgrading's sake
• if you're planning on investing cargo bulkheads to upgrade to higher inventory sizes, higher classes have increased upgrade limits, up to 60+120 when s-class
  that said, lots of players just a) summon their freighters around and use matter beam+10 storage rooms for more inventory slots at their quick disposal, and that's enough for them; or b) want/need all the inventory slots they can get

[ornate kite]

Atm one of my main goals is getting a s class freighter

[swift sand]

then in that case, i'd stick to the current freighter - 28 cargo vs 25 cargo on the new one

the location of the revealed sc slot on the a-class is not bad, but it would take a cargo bulkhead or two to properly make use of it

no telling when that s-class drop is going to happen though

remember that applied cargo bulkheads are permanent and not transferable

[ornate kite]

Thats why i try to have over 300mil units so i can affored it when it does shows up (unless its a pirate dreadnought)

@swift sand 1 more thing

How much left? (The shell is maturing atm)

[swift sand]

there's 4 organs to mature - check ⁨!faq-livingship⁩ in #nms-commands , the starbirth quest link for more infos, anything else just ask

[dire ginkgo]

I think that's all you need for the first time then the rest are units

[ornate kite]

Well. Its the third one thats maturing right now (the shell)

[dire ginkgo]

Their might be one more but I'm not entirely sure

[swift sand]

yeah, there's 4 organs, then the portal quest stage, then filling up soul chamber for archived soul, then comes the get ship stage

[ornate kite]

Then i guess. By wensday i have my ship

[swift sand]

yeah, sounds about right

[ornate kite]

And i have this waiting for the ship.

[dire ginkgo]

Ooh that's good

[swift sand]

nice - what's that on the right though? is that a dupped maturing organ?

[ornate kite]

That 1/20 i open one of those yellow thing to see what came out.

[swift sand]

gotcha

you're good

[ornate kite]

So when i got my living ship. Can you and me work together to get it as good as possible using what i got waiting for the ship?

[swift sand]

sure, but always feel free to ask any questions here too - sometimes having inputs from other server members is important and helps 🙂

[dire ginkgo]

I want a living ship I just need the egg

[ornate kite]

True. But then u can expect a ping from me when i get the ship. I can also live stream so u can see

[swift sand]

sure yeah, absolutely no problem with getting pinged 🙂

[ornate kite]

And since i only got 1 egg. I hope the ship looks good

[dusk coral]

how do i get these?

[dire ginkgo]

I would think from pirate system

[wet sigil]

I think buyable from outlaw systems

failing that, some outlaw missions gives those

[gusty vapor]

So I’ve been going through this NMS “sharper image” catalog, and I can’t seem to find the bobble heads for ships. I’m guessing they are on the anomaly? Or are they ONLY granted as rewards?

[swift sand]

quicksilver shop

[gusty vapor]

Yes thank you….

[dire ginkgo]

What is the best way to get my settlement out of debt

[wet sigil]

upgrade the production buildings

[dire ginkgo]

Thx just wondering because mine has like a billion units in debt

[wet sigil]

May be better to retire as overseer of that settlement and start a new one if it is really 1b in the red

[dire ginkgo]

Ok how do I do that

[wet sigil]

there should be a button for it in the central plaza terminal, the one you used to apply to be overseer

[swift sand]

also, quick menu/utilities/settlement register/click settlement, view settlement history, retire

[dire ginkgo]

Ok thx

[wet sigil]

note, my comment about retiring only applies it's literally 1b in the red, if it's exaggeration and it's more like 1m, you won't get anything out of changing settlement, they all start with 1m or so in debt

[dire ginkgo]

Yeah I think it literally in the billion of units

[swift sand]

to note, that debt value isn't coming out of your pocket

[dim plaza]

yo uh guys im in the atlas after finishing the autophage thing

I need another step by step help like yesterday (sorry)

do i push atlantideum closer or put it away

[swift sand]

former

[dim plaza]

closer? alright

[swift sand]

most quest dialogs cant really fail regardless of what we pick

[dim plaza]

fear or hope

ill ask when im unsure

[swift sand]

you pick

[dim plaza]

okay

the atlas kicked me out

and warped me

was that supposed to happen cuz in the FAQ it says to not leave

[swift sand]

what does the mission hint lower right of the screen want you to do - follow that

[dim plaza]

uhh

the autophage mission isnt there

after I visited nada

to tell her about atlas

wth

[swift sand]

so you completed it

done

[dim plaza]

good

time to do stellar thing

[swift sand]

goto space, pulse until hailed

[dim plaza]

okay

[dire ginkgo]

Does anyone know if living ship parts change it,s stats like let's say I found one I like on nmsce and it has specific pre generated parts do those affect stats or no

[swift sand]

cosmetic differences might weight a ship more towards e.g. max maneuverability - iirc in the case of living ships it was "no mohawk"

[hard viper]

I heard there was a like taxi thing that people do on here, is that still a thing?

[analog scroll]

!starcablink @hard viper

[tulip dust]

@hard viper https://discord.gg/WgUdnbZJjh

[swift sand]

also note that if you're trying to get to just some galaxy and not a specific glyph address, some of the anomaly teleporter featured bases are in other galaxies e.g. eissentam, and also other player's bases in the same instance

[analog trellis]

Are ship parts transferable from one save to other???
Like if I ask a friend???

[swift sand]

yep, could do that

transfer to friend, rejoin their session with a diff save, they transfer parts back

[analog trellis]

Will you be available later?

[swift sand]

yep will probably be around, going to have lunch in a bit then break

[analog trellis]

Okay ping me please... Thanks... Once I do it...I can safely delete this save ..

[swift sand]

just dm me

[dire ginkgo]

If you use a current save that's on PC can you play that same save in vr

[stuck berry]

Yes, VR can be used with any save

VR is also fully compatible with multiplayer

[dire ginkgo]

Ok that's good to know I want to play on the same save

[analog trellis]

How to delete a corevtte ship and get all parts back?

[stuck berry]

Delete as many parts as you can and finalize the design, then exchange it for another lifeform's starship

[analog trellis]

It keeps on saying I need an engine a cockpit ...have landing gear etc ..so i suppose I need to keep atleast 1 of those?

[stuck berry]

Yes, that is what I meant by "as much as you can"

[dire ginkgo]

Yes you need at least one them

[stuck berry]

To finalize a corvette design, it must always have at least one hab, one cockpit, one landing bay, one landing gear, one reactor, one weapon and one thruster

[ornate kite]

Now i gotta somehow draw eletrical wires and supply pipes a few houndreds U away from my base. Rip

1400 u to be excakt

[stuck berry]

It's impossible to build objects more than 1,000u from the original base claim position

See #nms-commands message on how to extend a base's boundary up to 1,000u away from it's original claim position

[dire ginkgo]

U you can extend the base building limit by going to the edge of the building limit then placing a short wall as far as you can place it then it will extend the base building limit

[ornate kite]

Then to move my base to a spot that has power and mining and gas hotspots

[stuck berry]

It's usually advised to initially place and claim the base computer after you have located resource hotspots, so that you can build it between all of them

[analog scroll]

You will have to delete and rebuild the base. Moving the computer will not impact your build area

[ornate kite]

If i delete my current base. Do i get to keep the mats i used to build it?

[analog scroll]

Delete it one part at a time and yes

[stuck berry]

You get 50% of them, placed into your Base Salvage Capsule inventory (when deleting via Base Computer interface)

To get 100% of the resources used to build everything, delete objects manually first

[ornate kite]

Goodbye Redratti (system name) u been good.

[dire ginkgo]

Where do you get the blueprint analyser

[stuck berry]

I do not believe there is anything like that

Yes, it was removed in the Beyond update and was replaced with the Construction Research Unit.

It's purpose is now taken by the Construction Research Station aboard the Space Anomaly

[dire ginkgo]

Ok I was asking because someone couldn't find what they were looking for so i asked but they figured out the need to find then they found out that they haven't unlocked the right previous recipe

[red jewel]

How much words have language of Autophage? After 889 i got "learned nothing new" but internet says there 1000+ words count

[stuck berry]

You seem to have learned them all

There aren't any languages in the game that have more than like 900 words

[red jewel]

Vy'kens 930

[stuck berry]

yeah, not much more

my friend wants to know if he downloads no man sky through pc with xbox progress (through his xbox account) if his progress saves

[ionic pond]

is there still a way to obtain the metal parts (such as metal framed glass panel or metal arches) in vanilla or are these only obtainable through save editing or mods?

[stuck berry]

Progress is shared between Xbox Console and Xbox PC, yes, through Xbox's cloud system

[stuck berry]

Only through save editing, or having them unlocked before the Frontiers update, or having another player who has them unlocked build them for you in which you can then duplicate/manipulate them within that base as you please

[ionic pond]

ahh thats a bummer! thanks!

[ionic pond]

is it difficult to edit the save to unlock these?

[dim plaza]

uh

I did the stellar mission thing but

i cant find the purple star it generated

[stuck berry]

Other than finding them in the blueprints tab, no

[dim plaza]

how do I find it in the galaxy map

[stuck berry]

Follow the path created by the mission, it should lead you to it

[dim plaza]

do i select the current mission thing

[stuck berry]

Purple star systems have a fully unique color

[stuck berry]

With "In Stellar Multitudes", yes

If you still can't find it, check what the mission tooltip says in the lower right

[dim plaza]

well it requires me to find a name for a star but

and

its not in the missions bar in galaxy map

[ionic pond]

would you happen to know whihc file, and what i have to edit to unlock the metal parts?

[stuck berry]

File? You should just have to open your desired save editor, then go to the discovery/blueprints tab, whichever it has or wherever those are

Do not attempt to use a text editor on your raw save file, that will irreversibly corrupt it due to it's compression.

[ionic pond]

interesting

[dim plaza]

oh also

I toggled stellar and selected current mission in destination

do i just follow the green line

[stuck berry]

You should just have to do that I believe

[dim plaza]

alright

[stuck berry]

if you think you are very far from it, check the teleporter for a destination closer to the mission (it would appear as the first entry)

[unkempt trout]

Hello! I have a question about glitch building on freighter bases. I used to be able to use the UAC to mount a small upside down door to remove freighter room walls using a scaled down label that’s upside down and using the UAC to glitch the door between 2 platforms. For for info-

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=IGXDQmEO72A&pp=0gcJCTMBo7VqN5tD

Now the door is scaled down but the orientation isn’t upside down after several attempts. Doesn’t seem like the door is maintaining the same orientation as the label. I was wondering if something has been patched and if there’s another technique to get this door upside down?

[dim plaza]

okay good its there

[ionic pond]

got it! watched a vid just in case, they mentioned that you select the save file location. can i also select a copy of the save file instead of hte one in the game directory to avoid issues if i mess up and hten later replace the one in the game directory with the edited one?

[stuck berry]

Both of the main save editors make backups automatically after making any changes

doing nearly anything in the UI should not cause issues unless you're really trying to break something

[ionic pond]

im nto sure if im allowed to post this here, but is the one from ||goatfungus|| one of the main ones?

[stuck berry]

Yes, it's in the pins of #nms-modding

and yes, all save editor stuff is okay to speak about

[ionic pond]

one last thing and then ill leave you be 😅 where is the save backup located, in case i need to revert?

[stuck berry]

It should be in the save editor's folder > backups

I think you can load it in the save editor, and replace a file with it there but not exactly sure

[lost kestrel]

why? i did it many times just fine for months

but to be fair notepad was the temporary copy and paste "table"

for stuff to tjen be deposited elsewhere

never saved the json with notepad

hit control A to fully select a thing

i also open more then one instsnce of the save editor

as usually you have tk edit both save.hg and save2.hg concurrently

or whatever number your save has assigned

[stuck berry]

Then you never did what I was referring to, I was referring to making changes and saving the save file using a text editor

[lost kestrel]

thats suxide

but yeah notepad is just a table or container for my stuff to be moved to a different thing

never saved as

but everyone makes mistakes, that is why goatfungus makes backups

[ornate kite]

After 50 mins of searching, i found a system that has all of my req for a perfect system. Yay

[dim plaza]

how to find an autophage settlement

[analog scroll]

Get an autophage settlement chart from the autophage camps

[dim plaza]

alright

[gusty vapor]

Woot! Making exocraft progress!

[winged prawn]

don't sleep on the Nautilon its top tier

[orchid latch]

I am playing a new custom save
I notice I not getting offered rewards wen saving freithers

Is it a setting I changed 🤔

[stuck berry]

You were piloting a corvette

there is an issue with the Space Rescue mission where it abruptly ends when you are on-foot while outside of the freighter

[winged prawn]

oh thats why

I never got offered a rewards after the first freighter I saved

[dusk coral]

Guys how do i farm freighter storage slots?

[gray shoal]

Defelicts

[dusk coral]

Is there like a community picked one thats super easy and short?

[gray shoal]

I dont think so. Try google some vid about derelict farming

[harsh sierra]

Is it normal for people to be able to join your party when you have multiplayer turned off?

[analog scroll]

No

[harsh sierra]

It happened to me last night

[analog scroll]

If you have multiplayer turned off, you shouldn't even see anyone

[harsh sierra]

Yea, that didn't happen. Eddie joined on me last night with mp off, and it showed it was off but greyed out while he was in my party

[analog scroll]

You could have it set to friends only or something and someone could join via the Join Friends game mode

[harsh sierra]

It was set to anyone, but I still had mp off

[analog scroll]

If they have your friend code, they could still join then

[harsh sierra]

So its not really multiplayer disabled completely, bad design imo

[analog scroll]

!hg

[tulip dust]

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

[harsh sierra]

Pft, you think they will change it just because I had someone join me with mp off? That is 100% a waste of time to report

Thanks for the answer, but it's not a real solution

[stuck berry]

This is actually normal, joinability is fully unrelated to the Multiplayer option, only the Joinability option

[harsh sierra]

Makes no sense though. Multiplayer means multiple players in a game, to have it turned off and then having people join on you is kind of ridiculous

[stuck berry]

Multiplayer is completely unrelated to group play, though it's forced enabled while in a group until you leave the group

If you don't want your friends to join you, set joinability to invite only

[harsh sierra]

Obviously, I just don't know why it works like that

Like I said, bad design

[stuck berry]

Well it avoids having to worry about making sure two separate settings both being enabled when trying to join each other

[kindred ridge]

Carbon is good where can i sell it?

[stuck berry]

At any Galactic Trade Terminal, which can be found aboard any Space Station

or sold to any landed pilot

Help

Sentinel forces are active but they don't spawn

I need to call my ship

I can't reload bcs I'll lose the mission

[orchid latch]

Yea I was but I sure I had it also in a living ship but will double check.
🤔 Was about to see if it's a VR bug ting

[stuck berry]

Then physically reach your starship instead

[atomic fractal]

It's in the atmosphere

[stuck berry]

That is very strange then

[stuck berry]

If it's a corvette, you should be able to beam aboard it if it's not too high up by using the automatically-placed teleporter below it

[winter wolf]

you can also hide until the sentinels forget about you. dig a hole and fill it in behind you

[orchid latch]

🤔

[atomic fractal]

It's basically in space bro

I jumped from it on orbit

[stuck berry]

Then don't do that in the future

while doing a nexus mission alone at least

you could see if you can lose the sentinels, or defeat them until they go away

[atomic fractal]

So I've run away and nothing

Went into the ground

Hard to run from something that doesn't exist

[winter wolf]

okay so your problem is actually "i have a wanted level and no sentinels are spawning"

in which case you should reload your save

[atomic fractal]

Yeah but I'm on a mission

Well whatever

How to Upgrade Inventories

To upgrade inventory size, each inventory type can be upgraded at their respective terminal for which locations are listed below.
It is possible to switch between Technology and Cargo inventories and select a slot within the currently available grid, before applying the upgrade. (Image »)
Multi-Tools don't have Cargo inventory.

Click on the links below for in depth descriptions.

Exosuit »

• Drop Pods: Multiple on suitable planet
• Repair using basic resources/items
• Exosuit Expansion Unit (Image ») (after repair)
• Exosuit Upgrade Terminal: Space Station (9) / Anomaly (20) / Outlaw Station (6)
• Purchase price (increases) (Image »):
  1,000 - 125,000 Units (Tech)
  5,000 - 200,000 Units (Cargo)
  Can only be purchased once, at each terminal in a system
• Exosuit Expansion Unit (after purchase)

Starship »

• Starship Outfitter: Space Station (7) / Outlaw Station (10)
• Purchase price (increases) (Image »):
  100,000 - 75,000,000 Units (Tech/Cargo)

The same ways that you unlock Cargo slots, just select a Technology slot instead

Huh?

[atomic fractal]

In compensation diving from orbit was pretty cool

[atomic fractal]

So when I use lots of inventory upgrades on my A multi tool and I'll swap to a S, there's nothing I can do to prevent the waste, right?

[glossy perch]

Can somone come to me i need help

[winter wolf]

by "waste" are you asking if you can recover spent inventory upgrades? you can not

[winter wolf]

state your problem

[glossy perch]

I want to Breed my void egg but i dont have all of the glyphs can you put them in for me

[winter wolf]

use ⁨⁨!faq-livingship⁩⁩ in #nms-commands

[winter phoenix]

I don't know if that works, but even if it did that seems like it might be more work than just unlocking the glyphs. Is there a reason you don't want to do it?

[atomic fractal]

Yes

[ember helm]

#contact-us

[winter phoenix]

#contact-us

[winter wolf]

oh i see the problem now. you should work on getting the glyphs yourself, or ask for help in #nms-lfg-or-trades

[stuck berry]

You could instead upgrade the class of that existing one

[atomic fractal]

I know I just don't want

[silk bane]

early game if i'm trying to base on a freighter, the cargo slots on it are kind of irrelevant between matter beam and the cargo rooms, right?

[stuck berry]

Somewhat yes, though the Cargo slots can be accessed universe-wide with the Matter Beam installed, where the Storage Containers can only be accessed system-wide

The cargo slots become an extension of your exosuit cargo inventory, usable for recharging and refueling purposes on all things, as well as having quadruple stack sizes on harsher stack limits difficulty options

[winter phoenix]

Not really. The cargo rooms are great but you can't use items inside them for crafting without first taking them out. The main freighter inventory is available all the time. Not a super important but it sure is convenient.

[silk bane]

I'm asking since I want to swap the free A-class capital I have out with a system freighter I like more. The capital one seemed to come with decent storage built out already. maybe 15-20 more slots than I usually see

[stuck berry]

You can add more slots later

[silk bane]

getting very few bulkheads from piracy so I don't see myself farming that many to make up the difference. Until I go envoy to envoy at later ranks

the free one also seems to only have 1 SC slot on tech, whereas they system ones usually have 3 already exposed for A class

[stuck berry]

All A-Class things have 3 supercharged slots

The missing ones were just hidden behind yet-to-be unlocked technology slots

[proud estuary]

Can some one tell me how I can make more than one corvette because if I make a new one I need to trade it in

[stuck berry]

Switch to another starship and exchange that starship

or make more room in your starship list by either salvaging some or placing some in your Starship Archive aboard your Freighter

[proud estuary]

Okay thank you

[stuck berry]

You can only have up to 12 active starships at a time, plus 18 more in the archive (corvette-class starships cannot be archived)

[silk bane]

merchants guild envoys are generally going to be the best way to get a lot of cargo builkheads, right?

[stuck berry]

I believe so, or farming a very short Derelict Freighter which is what I did

[silk bane]

how long do you think it would take to farm 25 bulkheads doing that?

[stuck berry]

Like an hour

The one at these coordinates in Euclid Galaxy is ideal

[silk bane]

whoa, do you just reset them somehow?

i figured it would be 1 bulkhead per derelict

[winter wolf]

when you leave the derelict, you can activate another emergency scanner and pulse to a new one. it will have the same name and layout, but it's a new instance and fully restocked

[silk bane]

getting a bunch of those would be ~200 mill right?

[winter wolf]

first one costs 5m, then 10m, then 20m, then each one after costs 30m. cost resets each day

[stuck berry]

There is also a small glitch where you can reuse the same one if you put it in your personal refiner after using it etc

[vital estuary]

Stick it in your personal refiner before going into the derelict.

[gentle mirage]

hello all im currently doing the patternns in time mission and everytime i do a mission andhand it in it dosent register it says i need to do 2 ive done like 5

[winter wolf]

apollo and atlas figurines dont get adjacency? i put them next to the tech they boost, still doesnt get a border

[kindred ridge]

Warp cell is it hard to get?

[stuck berry]

That is normal.

Only the Polo, Artemis and Tentacled Figurines have adjacency with each other and all Starship Trails

Though it's only really beneficial to maximize the Polo Figurine's adjacency, as all of the others grant boost which is capped very low

[gray shoal]

U unlock the blueprint by playing the story

[ember helm]

also, Q-Resonator in supercharged slot doesn't do what it says it does (it doesn't give you an extra bullet), it just increases the damage of the bullet it normally adds

[stuck berry]

Yeah, it's also better to supercharge an upgrade instead

the main module even moreso but that's already been done

[storm berry]

how much harder is PD then a regular save file with relaxed/standard difficulty?

is it just the risk of dying or is it actually way harder?

[stuck berry]

You can see all of the difficulty option changes in the Custom Save screen

[somber lion]

Yo does choosing reset the simulation during the purge questline make you loose everything

[stuck berry]

No, ||it exclusively damages all exosuit, primary starship and primary multi-tool technology||

||All other things are safe, and technology can be repaired later||

[somber lion]

Alr thanks

[kindred ridge]

Dose the refiner gives the raw materials more value?

[swift sand]

material unit value is fixed per material, but can then sometimes be worth more or less depending on where you sell. not always refining is more rewarding than just selling things raw

[kindred ridge]

Im already refining carbon too late😔💔

[swift sand]

refining to condensed carbon isn't a bad idea though: can always refine it back to carbon

[nimble wraith]

question regarding pirate freighter battles: I have been fighting them as I warp into a system and defeting them. I get about 800k units, and when I board and decide I don't want that freighter (I Have an S-class but looking for better slot layout) I demand tribute and get 6.7mil units. Is destroying the freighter worth anymore than that? Once I board and scan and determine it isn't better than what I have, I could take off and blast it to smitherines.. Is the payout any better?

[swift sand]

Is destroying the freighter worth anymore than that?
nah; destroying the freighter ignoring engines would drop a s-class freighter upgrade module most of the times

[somber lion]

Should i choose to reset it then?

[swift sand]

reset is a flavored-text word, almost just for immersion. getting to other galaxies is still possible and easy to do even if you refuse, and refusing still completes the main storyline anyway. that said, accepting is basically a once per save shortcut to another galaxy, but has that thing that applies damage to installed tech/modules on suit active ship and MT (which is easy to prepare against)

[somber lion]

So if im already able to go to different galaxies i should be fine?

[swift sand]

having been to other galaxies before this or not isnt going to affect the outcome - there's neither a huge benefit or penalty on either option, you're simply being warned that if you accept, your installed tech and modules in exosuit active ship and MT will get damaged, if you dont store them+change to gear you dont care about

[somber lion]

Like i should be fine by not doing the simulation reset i mean

[swift sand]

you'll be fine either way, but refusing is the "easiest way out"

[somber lion]

Alr

Thanks

[swift sand]

wont have to deal with or prepare for tech damage

[somber lion]

Alr

[swift sand]

reported

[dark spear]

I tryed to land at the atlas but it lagged teleported me out of my ship and now im falling and my ship landed outside of it?

[stuck berry]

Corvettes always land outside of them, you must beam aboard

[swift sand]

to enter an atlas station when flying a corvette, we first dock on the outside, then leave seat, goto hatch, and beam to atlas station button. was that what you did?

[dark spear]

Oh, ty! I haven't played in 1 month!

[brave moat]

I got a Myth Beacon from the quicksilver synthesizer. What do I do with it?

[stuck berry]

It does nothing, outside of Expedition 2: Beachhead which can't be done anymore
It's the only quicksilver item that truly has no use

[brave moat]

oh

[brave moat]

What is the largest freighter type (by sheer size) can I get? Venator class?

[simple yoke]

Does the system your freighter is parked in affect your rates of salvage frigate module drops?

[stuck berry]

By volume, most likely the Pirate Dreadnought. By surface area, probably the maximum length Venator. For length, the maximum length Sentinel.

[brave moat]

Thank you!!

[dreamy bear]

That's cool I've never captured a sentinel ship

[somber lion]

Are there any big player hubs in euclid galaxy? If so can someone give me coordinates?

[stuck berry]

There are many, you could browse #1418605454300549120

[somber lion]

Alr thanks

[brave moat]

I've used https://nmsce.com/ to look for the max length venator, and went to one of the coordinates, but the system it led me to was not a pirate system. Is this because of some version issues?

[ember helm]

pretty sure you can't

[dreamy bear]

So why they in the list if you can't capture them?

[nova wyvern]

Are you in the right galaxy?

[brave moat]

yes, Euclid https://nmsce.com/preview?i=a6957bf5-e53d-4764-9a5b-e856807bbe19

[nova wyvern]

That's not a pirate system

[brave moat]

then how...?

[stuck berry]

how what?

Capital freighters are encountered in all inhabited/abandoned systems

[nova wyvern]

Venators can spawn in any system

[brave moat]

What

I thought capital ships can only obtain them from pirate battles

[stuck berry]

Follow this guide #nms-questions message

[stuck berry]

Yes, that is true

[dreamy bear]

Really? It's not abandoned if freighters exist

[nova wyvern]

The only exception is pirate dreadnoughts, which can only spawn in pirate systems and sometimes tier 3 economy systems

[stuck berry]

Freighter rescue events still occur in abandoned systems.

[nova wyvern]

Other systems it's just small pirate ships attacking the frieghter

[stuck berry]

Freighter rescue events occurring in abandoned systems does not make them no longer abandoned.

[ember helm]

that's just what i've heard

[dreamy bear]

I think that's happened to me

[stuck berry]

Also, Pirate Dreadnought events can also occur in non-outlaw systems, which is more likely the higher the conflict

[nova wyvern]

You can find crashed ones only on planets with dissonance detected

[dreamy bear]

Do you get to pick which freighter to take command of?

[brave moat]

Ooh, so the pirate battle for the capital frieghter can happen in non-pirate systems, too

[stuck berry]

This is not true, both sentinel freighters and interceptor ships can be obtained by the player

[stuck berry]

Yes. Capital freighters have existed since the game released, while Outlaw Systems were added in 2022

[nova wyvern]

Yup

[swift sand]

(not the space police freighter though, i think that's where the initial confusion might have come from)

[stuck berry]

Those are visually identical to the civilian capital freighters of the same name

Besides being smaller and lacking a hangar+bridge, and having shield generators

[dreamy bear]

I saw a funky shaped one i think is now known as the capital sentinel but picked the pirate freighter because it was a pirate system and for an A class. Don't see a reason to upgrade tbh

[ember helm]

oh.
is it the same as obtaining pirate freighters then? destroying warp drive after shields?

[stuck berry]

No, you can't obtain the ones controlled by the sentinels

You can only obtain the civilian-ran ones

Which are about half of all civilian capital freighters

[ember helm]

ohhhhhhhh those thick tall ones are sentinel types ok

[brave moat]

I wonder if there is any way to tell how much time it has been from the last pirate battle? probably not

[ember helm]

i'll keep my pirate freighter then

[spice vessel]

How can I get rid of a corvette I built ?

[ember helm]

strip all the parts apart from the basic off (if desired) then buy some random person's ship and choose "swap"

[winter wolf]

strip it down to its barest parts, then trade the ship with an NPC for their ship, then scrap that

[ember helm]

lmao

[atomic fractal]

Can someone tell me why are Interceptors considered the best shit in the game? Both my A Interceptors are my worst performing ships in the game at combat

[stuck berry]

It's purely subjective, outside of their stat bonus % ranges which even then aren't helpful without upgrades

A ship that lacks upgrades will always be significantly worse than one with upgrades

[atomic fractal]

My ship is as manuevable as a 40 meter Corvette

[stuck berry]

Yes, sentinel interceptors handle fundamentally differently from all other ship types

[atomic fractal]

It's not like my C class initial ship was loaded with upgrades

[stuck berry]

they turn faster when boosting, but slower when slow/stopped

[atomic fractal]

Oh

[atomic fractal]

Didn't help lmao

Still hard af

[stuck berry]

If you want it to turn faster, install three pulse engine upgrade modules and possibly more blueprint tech

But more maneuverability won't change that fundamental fact about how sentinel interceptors handle differently

They are by far the fastest ships in-atmosphere though

[atomic fractal]

@stuck berry

It wasn't supposed to suck as much as it does

[stuck berry]

It would make sense why that ship is very hard to maneuver, it's maneuverability has not been upgraded at all.

[atomic fractal]

I've seen people hyping infra knife, but it's just the worst gun I've experienced in the game

[stuck berry]

You are lacking the Q-Resonator, and only have one C-Class upgrade module

It will not be much better than a stock Photon Cannon, if at all

[atomic fractal]

It's worse

So default photon is better than infra knife with 1 upgrade?

[stuck berry]

You have plenty of Nanites, you can use those to purchase Upgrade Modules from Space Stations. S-Class ones aren't rare, just expensive, check many stations

[atomic fractal]

Neither does this one and it handles much better

[stuck berry]

Most likely, as the Infra-Knife Accelerator's "Q-Resonator" blueprint technology multiplies it's damage by 3

[atomic fractal]

Ok where do I get that?

[stuck berry]

That's because Solar ship's base maneuverablity is far higher

[atomic fractal]

Anomaly or shop?

[stuck berry]

Iteration: Hyperion aboard the Space Anomaly.

Though again, Upgrade Modules are also extremely beneficial, you will most likely remain unsatisfied if you continue to ignore them.

[atomic fractal]

So does a base fighter I suppose?

[stuck berry]

Sentinel ships have a low base maneuverability, but a high bonus % range

so upgrades make them very good

but base, they will feel bad

[atomic fractal]

What about the Sentinel cannon? It also feels kinda worse than the regular photon cannon

[stuck berry]

It's basically just a reskinned photon cannon, I think it shoots faster

[atomic fractal]

Pulse engine upgrades huh?

From the shop

[atomic fractal]

It does

[stuck berry]

Yes, pulse engine upgrade modules from the space station starship tech merchant

Check different stations to find one that sells them as S-Class

Once you purchase one, you can enter and exit your starship to set a Restore Point, then select Reload Restore Point in the options to restock the shop and purchase another.

[atomic fractal]

I thought pulse engine modules increased pulse distance or something

Infra knight S upgrade?

[stuck berry]

No, you can pulse endlessly by default given your fuel availability

[honest dirge]

Faster fire rate, slightly lower individual damage but higher dps overall iirc

[stuck berry]

Pulse Engine Upgrade Modules increase Maneuverability, Boost (though capped), and Pulse Engine Fuel Efficiency

[atomic fractal]

So hyper propulsor module is what I'm thinking about?

[stuck berry]

Yes, Hyperdrive Upgrade Modules are those that increase Hyperdrive Range (LY) and Warp Cell Efficiency

[visual ocean]

what happens to all my stuff on my freighter if i buy another one to swap?

[stuck berry]

#nms-questions message
All items in the core cargo and tech slots are lost, everything else transfers

Storage Container/Room contents are safe, and you are given the option to transfer your freighter base as the final popup before the purchase finalizes

[atomic fractal]

So where do I put it in a Sentinel ship to get bonus? Light motor or whatever it's called in English?

[stuck berry]

Luminance Engine

which is most likely that, Light Motor

[visual ocean]

thanks :3

[stuck berry]

Remember that you can install up to three upgrade modules per tech type, trying to install a fourth will overload all of them until the extra ones are removed. This limit doesn't count blueprint technology

Also, placing technology in Supercharged Slots increases their effectiveness by 25%, so place what you wish to be better in those slots

[atomic fractal]

Infra knife accelerator as well?

[stuck berry]

Yes, all technology that is placed in supercharged slots is improved

For weapons, it's best to put the core weapon in the slot, then the upgrades if you have more supercharged slots available

[atomic fractal]

No lol I'm asking if I should install it

[atomic fractal]

Are upgrade modules just those that we buy at shops or the upgrades we buy at the anomally as well?

[stuck berry]

The Infra-Knife Accelerator is the weapon you were speaking of earlier

[atomic fractal]

Yeah I just realized the confusion

[stuck berry]

Technology Blueprints purchased aboard the Space Anomaly and installed using resources are not Upgrade Modules

[atomic fractal]

Is pósitron ejector good as well? I never used this weapon

[stuck berry]

It's the shotgun of starships, many people like it

but it has limited range

[atomic fractal]

Are those 3 worth it?

[nova wyvern]

It was my favorite for a while until I got a Corvette and started using the phase beam

[nova wyvern]

The s class one there is basically mandatory, it's the only upgrade in the game that increases pulse speed

[stuck berry]

The other one makes it so that your starship no longer slows down automatically when you stop boosting, and also increases maneuverability

[atomic fractal]

That's so good bro my Corvette is easily my best fighter lol

[atomic fractal]

I didn't know, it said it increased the energy of the mechanism and I have no idea what it means

[atomic fractal]

Doesn't it remove auto track as well?

[stuck berry]

It does not remove the system that allows you to automatically follow targets

It solely removes the slow-down when ending a boost, allowing you to continue floating in the direction you were previously travelling while you turn

Many players consider this helpful when entering space stations or freighters from the side, and in general it's somewhat more realistic

[atomic fractal]

My dumbass just bought hyper propulsor again confusing with the pulse mechanism

[atomic fractal]

It is

[atomic fractal]

We're talking about the flight assistency something tech right?

[stuck berry]

Yes, the Flight Assist Override

[atomic fractal]

Not the instability propulsor

[atomic fractal]

So the ship also won't drive backwards?

[stuck berry]

Yes, you can only make your ship fly backwards slowly in space, or when colliding with something in-atmosphere

[winter wolf]

do figurines have a priority order like starship trails? or is it based on order of installation?

[stuck berry]

They do have a priority, yes

[winter wolf]

oh hey im a limon. good for me

[swift sand]

hardcoded

[stuck berry]

Well, changeable with mods

[winter wolf]

so if i want all the stat boosts, im stuck always seeing polo

[swift sand]

yeah

[stuck berry]

If you don't use mods, yes

[swift sand]

right right ^

[atomic fractal]

Why is my lazer sucking? Now infra knife destroys shield better than it

[swift sand]

with enough fire rate, infra pretty much chews through anything in seconds tbh

[atomic fractal]

Yeah but the lazer is also upgraded

[swift sand]

try SC'ing phase beam core tech instead of fourier delimiter

[atomic fractal]

5.707 DPS

[atomic fractal]

So it's good @swift sand ?

[swift sand]

test it out - feels better?

[atomic fractal]

It'll probably do less than the 20k DPS Infra knife has now but I'll try

[swift sand]

well, yeah, but phase beam not supercharged vs phase beam supercharged

[atomic fractal]

What?

Guys what does the symbol in the middle mean?

[swift sand]

compare the difference between shooting enemies while having phase beam main tech supercharged, instead of fourier delimiter

[swift sand]

if you expand the info panel, and cursor over the system, it should tell you what mission it is

looks like expanding the base though

[atomic fractal]

@stuck berry let me see if I understood, with Sentinel ships I should be accelerating all the time bcs this way they turn better?

[stuck berry]

Kind of, if you want to turn faster then boost, but you will also be propelled forward fast

[swift sand]

that's probably not something you'll be doing a whole lot in combat

which is basically why sentinels arent as strong in dogfighting as other ships

the agility bonus is applied in greater amount to boost maneuver, instead of core maneuver

[atomic fractal]

It took long for someone to tell me this lol

The amount of upgrades I'm needing to make this thing usable in combat in insane

I probably could do better in the starter ship with its mid damage

[atomic fractal]

Wdym?

[round ledge]

What is a geology cannon and how do I get it? I just realized I had a black market part for one on my multi tool

[swift sand]

each ship's maneuverability is divided into two things: core maneuverability, which is basically how the ship handles when flying normally; and boost maneuverability, which is how the ship handles when boosting. agility is a innate buff that is applied to ships, but not always in the same way: with some ships, a larger part/percentage of that buff is applied to core maneuver, while in others to boost maneuverability

[round ledge]

Oh ok

[rough thistle]

A geology cannon blows up the terrain where it hits and can kill you if your to close to the detonation

[round ledge]

Sounds awesome tbh

[atomic fractal]

So I've been fighting Sentinels for a few minutes, when is the capital ship going to appear? Their number does not decrease from 11

[rough thistle]

It does do a lot of damage but many don't like the non zero chance of killing themselves at the same time

[swift sand]

move away from the station

[stable lava]

it is helpful somewhat in the right situations and can give you a breather in combat

[round ledge]

Ill probably sell the black market upgrade. Thanks gentlemen

[atomic fractal]

For boost you mean the circle button or just accelerating in general?

[swift sand]

the circle button yeah

[stable lava]

hey does anyone know the max file resolution you can send to discord I'm trying to send a couple in the pictures but my screenshots are to big

[swift sand]

sure it's about resolution and not file size?

[stable lava]

both cause shrinking the resolution can help with file size

[rough thistle]

I've always received a message about file size, but the resolution of the image increases the file size as the resolution gets higher

[lofty bane]

What's the best way to get money? I need a microprocessor which is about 137k and I only have 20k.

[rough thistle]

4K images just won't upload in my experience

[swift sand]

well, yes, but it's in fact about size - if you had a really compressed image below that limit, you could use any resolution. but fair point.

[rough thistle]

true enough, i've never compressed anything

[swift sand]

see <#nms-questions message>

[atomic fractal]

Wait so accelerating will do nothing?

[stable lava]

yeah I know that its cause discord wants you to purchase nitro and I refuse

[swift sand]

wdym?

[lofty bane]

Thank you!

[stable lava]

you can upload bigger files depending on the server boosts and whether or not u have nitro

[atomic fractal]

Is agility the same as maneuverability?

[kindred ridge]

dose it take long to get my first corvette?

[atomic fractal]

Pressing R2 won't increase my maneuverability?

[swift sand]

like i said, agility is an innate bonus applied to ships, and the game decides how to apply that buff

[swift sand]

boost maneuver is only active when you boost

that's why it's called "boost maneuverability"

[lofty bane]

What's the best way to find different planets as a starter

[rough thistle]

As soon as you get to a space station if you can buy the parts to complete one

[swift sand]

different in terms of how they look? just a matter of time, and visiting more star systems once you've visited the ones in the current

[stable lava]

I'd suggest focusing on the story line until you get a hyperdrive and access to the anomaly then improving your hyperdrive

[kindred ridge]

Im like six hours in, i like the game but that ship parts is tooooo expensive

[atomic fractal]

Yeah there's nothing being said about the icon in the middle. The one that looks like a gear

[swift sand]

it is simply a mission in your Log - look at your log, look for that mission icon - as mentioned before, looks to be expanding the base

[lofty bane]

Im trying to earn money for the microprocessor now. Not easy

[rough thistle]

Go to planets with Salvagable Scrap in the info panel you can see when scanning, dig those up and you will get corvette parts free

[swift sand]

farm buried technology module, sell salvaged data

[lofty bane]

I can sell it then rather use.it on my base computer??

[kindred ridge]

Oh okay will try

[stable lava]

also each of the planets should have a descriptive tag ex obsidian bead, planet of light etc.. look for new ones

[swift sand]

sure, can always get more salvaged data later anyway

[rough thistle]

On planet it's a yellow chevron type marker

[swift sand]

@kindred ridge see image:

[lofty bane]

Any way to get fuel for the launch thrusters easier

Its a pain

[kindred ridge]

just shoot the space rocks

or get uranium idk which one

[stable lava]

got the photo to work

[lofty bane]

How much does a salvaged data go far

[vital estuary]

Best to keep the salvaged data stuff for unlocking base parts if new.
Will need it pretty early on.

[lofty bane]

Oh wow killing things on my planet got me 22k for a few livers

[raw pelican]

everybody spawn here or it is random? this is a good place to start?

[rough thistle]

Every player spawns on an undiscovered planet when they start, even across saves

[vital estuary]

On rare occasions you can start in a system that has already been discovered, had that happen to a save i started.

[raw pelican]

but the planet info says it was discovered by some dude before and it even has the steam profile link of the dude

4 years ago

[atomic fractal]

Expanding the base is the one in the left, no? I didn't find anything with this icon

[rough thistle]

I guess were finally running out of planets. 😢

[vital estuary]

Im sure that a lot of saves have been made over the last 10 years.

[rough thistle]

I know I've done my unfair share of new planets, at least 200

[atomic fractal]

Bruh I destroyed a Sentinel Warship only for it to bring me to a B class? I thought those necessarily gave A or S class starships

[stuck berry]

Starship class is fully random based on local system economy

[vital estuary]

Then a lot of systems have been explored around that band too, so cuts the numbers down more.

[atomic fractal]

Yeah but I've heard this method increased the chance of a good class ship

[stuck berry]

Well what you heard was incorrect.

[raw pelican]

my goal on this game is doing constructions because im a real architect so it is possible to construct it realistic?

[rough thistle]

An increase from 5% to 7% isn't going to help much for an S class

And I doubt that would even be in the code

[stuck berry]

Somewhat yes, you can manipulate base building objects freely to make things look like they physically make sense, by enabling free-placement and resizing certain things
There's tons of base building objects to unlock once you reach the Space Anomaly, both from the Construction Research Station and the Quicksilver Synthesis Companion

[vital estuary]

Once you get past the starting stuff https://discord.com/channels/146101654981312513/967158029474750534 might be a channel you should like.

[stuck berry]

It's not present, it's misinformation

The game has no way of knowing the class of a crash site until you physically approach it and the ship loads

[rough thistle]

Figured that would be the case, confirmation bias probably started the myth

[atomic fractal]

So destroying a Sentinel battle ship does very little good

[stuck berry]

It gives you an item that locates a Sentinel Interceptor crash site

[vital estuary]

The AI fragment just helps you find one, usually it is a C class in my case.

[stuck berry]

If you want it to be S-Class, go use it in an Outlaw System that contains inhabited Dissonant worlds

[vital estuary]

Found an S class one like that and it was only worth 28 million in scrap vs. the usual far higher amount. Not sure what happened there. 🤣

[raw pelican]

can i trade with other players? like ships? sell bases, houses?

[stuck berry]

Bases cannot be transferred to other players normally, they will always be your own

Same with ships, though there's a small glitch that circumvents that but the ship's class and technology is reset as if it's brand new #nms-legacy-ships message

[raw pelican]

i just saw a dude posting an advertising of apartments to rent i found it was like serious he was doing that for other players

[stuck berry]

You can upload your own bases, which makes them visible to other players when you're offline, and you can also build at another player's base for them so that could be something you would like to do

You can only modify other players' bases when they're in the same system as that base, so the latter would be more ideal

[raw pelican]

you are a geniusss

do exist some site like wiki of this game?

lots of information or a guide

[stuck berry]

The ⁨!faq⁩ commands in #nms-commands in this discord server have a lot of up-to-date information

There is also a wiki https://nomanssky.miraheze.org/wiki/Main_Page that's mostly up-to-date

[rough thistle]

Reddit also has a lot of information on the game

[atomic fractal]

So @swift sand if I want a good fighter I just remove all the upgrades I spent on that interceptor on an actual fighter and it'll be an invincible beast?

[raw pelican]

beeblegum do exist? is he here on this discord?

[vital estuary]

I use an interceptor for my main, works well.
They handle a bit different but like it better than the fighter I was using.
A lot of it is personal preference even the starter ship is very capable once upgraded.

[atomic fractal]

The starter ship is indeed nice. But I feel like piloting a rock with the Sentinel and it's maneuverability

[rough thistle]

An older version, but the one I always get in every save

[vital estuary]

They might seem to turn slower at first but they also dont pilot like a drunken whale like the C class hauler one expedition started with.

[atomic fractal]

If you also don't find it good to turn why do you prefer it over a fighter?

[vital estuary]

I did move some stuff around a little after I did this screenshot.

[vital estuary]

High enough maneuverability it turns quick enough for my needs.

[winter wolf]

all you need to become an "invincible beast" is time and upgrades. every ship can become capable of ripping through enemies once you give it enough juice

[atomic fractal]

Hoyl shit a black one where did you get it?

[winter wolf]

find what you like. the biggest thing in this game is personal preference. dont worry about what anyone says about "the best" anything, thats based on their personal preference and may not apply to you

[atomic fractal]

But if fighters are more agile at base shouldn't they be the best with upgrades?

[winter wolf]

they are the most maneuverable, but that doesnt make them the best ship

[atomic fractal]

Is there a way to find out where my damaged frigate is? The map shows those icons but I want to know where a specific one is

[stuck berry]

You should be able to teleport aboard it from the Fleet Management terminal, if it's alongside your freighter.

[vital estuary]

Galaxy 10, need access to purple systems for it.

[atomic fractal]

It's still on a mission

I want to fix it while it's active

[stuck berry]

Then you'll have to find it on the galaxy map and warp to it, or wait until it's done

[atomic fractal]

But isn't there an icon? Or I'll have to check every single fleet?

[stuck berry]

It's icon should be nearby, if it isn't then try teleporting to systems you've been to previously, maybe it's still very far away where you were when you first began the mission

[round ledge]

Can I go steal shit from other people's bases

😔

L game

[stuck berry]

You'll have to check each fleet, when you approach them in space it should show damaged icon stuff on the damaged one

[atomic fractal]

Better call it back I guess

[stuck berry]

At best, you can take from their Mineral/Gas Extractors and Supply Depots, as well as harvest their crops, but if they aren't in the system in multiplayer with you currently then they won't be affected

[round ledge]

😔

[rough thistle]

So, your a griefer

[round ledge]

Nah

Was just asking if I could

[lofty bane]

What does antimatter look like in orbit

[rough thistle]

You get Tritium from asteroids, not antimatter

[lofty bane]

Its asking me to scan for it in orbit

[rough thistle]

Antimatter has to be made in your inventory

[lofty bane]

Damn

[vital estuary]

Must be one of the starting quests...
You have to learn the blueprint for it.

[lofty bane]

Figured it out🤦‍♂️

I didnt know it was in space like a moron

Thought it'd be on the planet itself

[atomic fractal]

Love you bro

[lofty bane]

Tough being new

[rough thistle]

I remember a quest to find fuel but not antimatter specific

[atomic fractal]

How do you have 6 hyper pulse upgrade modules?

[rough thistle]

It can be, you need metals to make Chromatic metal to make antimatter

[rough thistle]

That;s the max modules I can place

[stuck berry]

Though the tutorial mission will direct you to find it another way/find it's blueprint first

[vital estuary]

Looks like a couple of them are the drives for different color systems

[stuck berry]

They only have 3 upgrade modules, everything else is blueprint technology

[supple pebble]

Would anyone be able to tell me how rare blue volcano planets are? I’ve heard they are extremely rare but need a fact check

[rough thistle]

I have the full complement of drives available

[rough thistle]

Oh wow, would love to find that, lucky you

[stuck berry]

Not really, I've found a few but they're definitely less common than orange/yellow/pink/etc

[lofty bane]

What button is it to shoot weapons?

[atomic fractal]

I'm talking about the ones in the top left

[stuck berry]

Left click on mouse and keyboard, A on controller, X on PlayStation, B on Nintendo I believe

[rough thistle]

To help a bit more all those drives are on the Anomaly at the Starship upgrade terminal

[rough thistle]

I only know for PC, and that's left mouse button as default

[raw pelican]

is this real? people can do thay

[stuck berry]

Yes, it is real

[mossy meteor]

How does the base capsule thing work (the base part that does something with ur base parts if u remove ur base)

[stuck berry]

That is a Corvette-class Starship #nms-commands message

[stuck berry]

When deleting a base, 50% of the resources used to build every object in the base are put into the Base Salvage Capsule inventory, which is another inventory in your save. You can access this inventory by interacting with any Base Salvage Capsule. Items are stored in this inventory regardless of if you have any Base Salvage Capsules built.

[mossy meteor]

Great it's only 50%

Time to delete everything manually then

[stuck berry]

Deleting items manually rewards 100% of the resources, yes

making the "delete" button a bit oxymoronic or whatever

[rough thistle]

That's good to know, I've never used the Salvage capsule but now know not to

[rough thistle]

Should be called "Reclaim"

[stuck berry]

Ive used it a few times but the bases i deleted were very small.

[atomic fractal]

Should I be upgrading foton canon if I have infra knife or just ignore it?

?

[rough thistle]

If you don't use it no need to upgrade it

[atomic fractal]

It has absolutely no use with infra knife right?

[rough thistle]

I don't use either weapon, I use Cyclotron and Positron on my ships

[atomic fractal]

Are they good?

[rough thistle]

Yes, one takes down shields fast and the other demolishes hulls

#nms-questions message

That's my setup, not optimised, old picture

[atomic fractal]

Which one is which?

[rough thistle]

i honestly don't remember, would have to jump in game to check

[unreal cloud]

is this the new #nms-help channel?

[rough thistle]

basically yes

[unreal cloud]

thank you

[lofty bane]

Thank you

[atomic fractal]

Don't you remember what you do when fighting?

[rough thistle]

Nope, I have way to many space games that i play and all are very different, I just remember keybinds

[wet sigil]

Cyclotron is the one that does more damage to shields, infra knife is the one that does more hull damage

[rough thistle]

thanks for the assist

[atomic fractal]

What about positron?

[rough thistle]

that's the hull damage one

@atomic fractal https://nomanssky.fandom.com/wiki/Starship_Weapons_technology

[wet sigil]

Cycletron is the only weapon that explicitly does more damage against shields than hull, the hull danagers are Infra knife, Positron ejector and Missiles.

The last two (Photon/Sentinel Cannon and Phase Beam) don't discriminate between shield and hull

I don't use LS so not 100% sure on their weapons

[hard viper]

Random ADHD curiosity, is the Paradise planet from the nms trailer real?

[umbral flicker]

yoooo someone can tell me how to get activated quarzite?

[rough thistle]

Purple Star systems, you can mark it for search in your menu in the Catalogue section, it should then show you where to go on the galaxy map

[stuck berry]

Note that purple systems are locked behind a mission that comes after the main story is complete, and after you are introduced to the Autophage #nms-commands message

[umbral flicker]

i tried but isnt working at all, is there like an especific planet or so

[wet sigil]

Are you at least finding quartzite?

[stuck berry]

#nms-commands message You will not be able to locate or reach any purple star systems until this mission is reached

[stuck berry]

That is a yellow star system.

Your galaxy map does not seem to be populated with purple star systems

which would make sense if you have not completed "In Stellar Multitudes" yet #nms-commands message

[umbral flicker]

idk but im mad, is crazy idk why i cant find it

[stuck berry]

Again, you will not find purple star systems until the mission "In Stellar Multitudes" is complete

They do not exist on the galaxy map until you reach that mission

So you cannot get Quartzite or Activated Quartzite until then, outside of getting it from another player

[wet sigil]

And you can't 'cheat' it by using a portal either

[umbral flicker]

got it ty g now everything makes sense

[stuck berry]

Yes, portals cannot reach purple star systems until "In Stellar Multitudes" is complete either

[umbral flicker]

ty ty

[hard viper]

Random ADHD curiosity, is the Paradise planet from the nms trailer real??

[stuck berry]

Which trailer?

There have been many dozens of trailers for No Man's Sky updates throughout the years

Each trailer is made using their development tools, so they can manipulate things in it to however they please

like how the Worlds Part II trailer had a Gas Giant appear as a regular planet, as it needed to fit within the field of view of a trailer

[hard viper]

Worlds part 1 trailer

[stuck berry]

Many other trailers feature fully custom behavior that can't be replicated in-game, like walkers walking alongside the player or a planet's biome changing between shots

[stuck berry]

The planet itself was engineered with specific things they wanted, but worlds just like it exist

[hard viper]

Ah, okay

[stuck berry]

I've found many like it, they are extremely rare though

[clever creek]

im getting a bug where after I save civilians from pirate fighters, I dont get standing increase and when I board the freighter the captain doesnt offer any reward. happened twice in a row already

all my combat difficulties are normal

[stuck berry]

If you are piloting a corvette-class starship, this is expected and is a known bug

[clever creek]

bruh why

oh ok😂

[stuck berry]

Being on-foot while outside of the freighter immediately ends the Space Rescue mission

which currently affects exiting your corvette's seat at any point, which is of course unintentional

!hg

[tulip dust]

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

[clever creek]

so if I get into such combat with a corvette, theres no way to still get the reward unless i somehow change ships

[stuck berry]

Correct

until Hello Games fix this issue

[clever creek]

🙃 unfortunate, thanks for the answer

[stuck berry]

Similarly, exiting your corvette's seat at any point during the battle instantly despawns the entire battle

this previously occurred even if you were docked with the freighter after defeating the pirates

[scenic latch]

Can other people see your in vr?

[stuck berry]

Yes, they can

They can see your hand movements, but not your head movements besides which way your character is rotated

[clever creek]

so all the pirate fighters and civilian ships and im in empty space again?

[scenic latch]

Ah alrighty thank you 😼

[stuck berry]

The issues I described only affect the regular rescue events, not Pirate Dreadnought Events

[clever creek]

ic

[silk bane]

should I go solar ships or exploration for general use system/planet hopping?

[vague geode]

They're both useful for that purpose if you're making short warps and visiting planets in system.

You want really long jumps then kit out the explorer - it'll serve you better for that.

[silk bane]

Am I right that the landing gear upgrade that regens fuel is equivalent to solar sails, or are solar a bit better?

I like to be able to pulse on planets

[stuck berry]

Both recharge launch fuel at equal rates

and all types of starships have the same pulse engine restrictions for in-atmosphere/near-object use
