Solar ships' solar sails increase pulse engine fuel efficiency drastically, while explorers have halved launch costs but no built-in launch fuel recharging

[silk bane]

ahh that's what I was thinking of - the pulse efficiency. Although halved launch cost is very good, solar doesn't get that?

[stuck berry]

Only explorer and sentinel interceptor ships get that

Though launch fuel usage can be further reduced by upgrades, making it quite inconsequential to planet-hop in any type of ship with the launch auto-charger too

[ember helm]

yeah i do that in a corvette, i have the reactor that gives it installed

[stuck berry]

Also, corvette-class starships have the fastest pulse speeds and can completely ignore landing, as you can exit their seat mid-air and beam down

[full hazel]

There are no antimatter deposits on a ground surface that I am aware of.

[wet sigil]

There isn't, it has to be made

[rough thistle]

Antimatter is only made, it is not a resource to be found and mined

[stuck berry]

The blueprint to craft Antimatter is given from the tutorial mission Awakenings

To craft it, you just need 25 Chromatic Metal and 20 Condensed Carbon

[silk bane]

is there an equivalent to the freighter "scan all planets" room, for ships?

[stuck berry]

There is not, not without mods on PC

Though the Scanner Room can be placed in a corvette-class starship or planetary base using glitches I believe, or of course mods

[ember helm]

if you're on PC, I know of and actively use a mod that adds this function to the Mission Radar

Other than glitching the scanner room onto a corvette, that's all you got

[visual ocean]

is it possible to find Ferrite Dust or Pure Ferrite hotspots? or can it be only Magnetised Ferrite

[stuck berry]

You can at best locate Rusted Metal and Magnetized Ferrite hotspots

Ferrite Dust and Pure Ferrite do not appear as resources listed on a planet

[visual ocean]

i see

[stuck berry]

Rusted Metal refines 1:2 into Ferrite Dust

[ember helm]

probably because they come from basically any rock if i had to guess

[stuck berry]

All other biome minerals (except Basalt for some reason) refine 1:1 into Ferrite Dust

[visual ocean]

im asking because i have noticed i am often running out of ferrite dust and i lowkey dont wanna constantly mine rocks manually

so i thought maybe theres a way to automate ferrite collecting

also running out of dust is kinda like running out of cobblestone in Minecraft lol

[wet sigil]

Apart from buying them from trade terminals, there aren't any real ways to automate dust for that, except maybe constantly throw rusted metal into your exosuit refiner constantly

[visual ocean]

ah i was about to ask if it's possible to automate refiners

well that answers that ig

[ember helm]

nah theres no hoppers or anything

[visual ocean]

lowkey wish it was ngl

im on a mission to make a small outpost for automatic collection of every mineral hotspot

so that i dont run out of resources ever

yesterday i managed to finish one for activated copper :3

wait is it possible to farm nanites in some way?

[quick schooner]

Any tips on how to get a good ship started yesterday and I have a b

[rough thistle]

Not automatically, Curious Deposits are a good planetary nanite source when you find them

[visual ocean]

curious deposits?

[rough thistle]

They are big Fungal balls that you mine for Runaway Mould to refine to nanites, you can find up to 20ish balls per deposit

[stuck berry]

I believe they are one of the main nanite making methods described in ⁨!faq-nanites⁩ in #nms-commands

[rough thistle]

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

[visual ocean]

i dont think iver seen one ... are they rare?

[rough thistle]

Not really, just have to find the right planet for them, their icon on planet is of the bright yellow type

[stuck berry]

They are only found on 1/3rd of all worlds, and are a "3 star resource" which are quite difficult to find even on those worlds

[rough thistle]

Guess I'm just lucky, i find them all the time

[stuck berry]

Using a fully upgraded Exocraft Scanner is usually ideal, or riding a flying companion and using the Analysis Visor

Worlds that have Sac Venom or Metal "Fingers" do not have Curious Deposits

[knotty bramble]

On one of the expeditions I could do it doesn't show anything for the difficulty rating. Is that just a bug? Or what does that mean

[honest dirge]

You can use automated mined for rusted metal from dead worlds if they have it as a resource

[wet sigil]

Do you have a screenshot?

[stuck berry]

That shouldn't appear like that

[ornate kite]

How much of NMS unlocks for me when i finish artemis story?

[stuck berry]

You are able to use portals to reach any planet in the galaxy (besides those in purple star systems)

You also reach one of the two requirements to begin the mission "They Who Returned" #nms-commands message which unlocks a new race

[ornate kite]

Iam doing the first traveller right now. getting materials for || mind ark ||

[ornate kite]

And that portal. Will most likly use to find my dream ships (of hauler and explorer and fighter and exotic)

[stuck berry]

You could, yes, by inputting coordinates documented by other players on places like https://nmsce.com/ etc

Use !faq-portal in #nms-commands to see how to locate a portal

[ivory dawn]

is there an easy way to find a power hot spot?

[midnight nexus]

Could anyone tell me how to get this thing (green arrow) to close this big door (red arrow)?

[compact spire]

Is there a known "feature" about upgrading ship, yet it doing way less damage than before?
Like the previous weapon on the first ship displaying 1812 DPS, the new one 3595 DPS, and still hitting less than the first one?

[midnight nexus]

I wired it to the door and nothing happens

But the door is powered, no?

Oh, so i should wire a switch to it?

[stuck berry]

Yes, to toggle the power to the door

Wire one end of the switch to the power source, and the other end to the door

This makes the switch toggle the door when used, opening and closing it

[midnight nexus]

I did this and it still doesnt do anything

Oh wait i see qwhat you mean

Yes

[stuck berry]

Wait why do you have two switches

[midnight nexus]

I just didnt want to have it open automatically

I see on the image he linked, it was a sensor

[midnight nexus]

You told me i needed another switch

[stuck berry]

Well that is false

That wouldn't do anything

[midnight nexus]

What do i need to power the door manually without using a sensor then?

[stuck berry]

The switch, doing what I described before

Attach a wire from one end of the switch to the power source, then attach a wire from the other end of the switch to the door.

[midnight nexus]

I did this and it still does not open

[stuck berry]

Remove all other wires connected to the door.

[midnight nexus]

Ok i will use a power inverter

[stuck berry]

This is not true, it wouldn't do anything

That wouldn't help at all in this situation

[midnight nexus]

true, it does not

[stuck berry]

...you didn't even connect anything correctly

[midnight nexus]

What do you mean? how do i connect them then

[stuck berry]

The inverter won't do anything

I don't think you know how switches work

They toggle power, so the default state of the door is irrelevant

[stuck berry]

Inverters require a power source input at their third connection point to operate

Again, an inverter is objectively overcomplicatong this

Disconnect all wires from the door and the switch. Is the door still closed?

If so, delete and re-place the door.

A door's default state is open, so if it is closed then it is being powered by something via Electrical Wiring

[midnight nexus]

As soon as i place it it opens so its not closing

[stuck berry]

As soon as you place the door, it opens? That is normal, see what I said above #nms-questions message

[midnight nexus]

Yes

I know im just confirming

[stuck berry]

Now that you have an unpowered door, connect one side of the switch to a power source

Then, connect the other side of the switch to the door's wire snap point

[midnight nexus]

Bazinga it works

easy as that really

[midnight nexus]

Thanks grouch! (not calling you a grouch ofc its just your name)

Well somebody told me how to do it, itd probably take longer otherwise

[static yew]

Has anyone by any chance seen this ship I’ve been looking for it and but can’t find even in the Reddit

Got from a reply on a Reddit post one sec

Fair

[midnight nexus]

How does one upgrade this?

[midnight nexus]

Nvm i got it

[static yew]

Alright

[spiral belfry]

How do I get the s class staff multitool

[wet sigil]

Either get lucky with the terminals or upgrade a lower class staff

Basically same as any other MT with extra steps

[spiral belfry]

Ok

Should i try to grind nanites

[wet sigil]

I would recommend that you back out of the terminal interface completely after every two tries, because things get wonky after that

[spiral belfry]

Ok

But should I grind interceptors/ runaway mould

[wet sigil]

It's not terribly hard to grind 85k nanites needed, though the fastest to get that amount would require like 100m capital (most likely less than that needed, just me being cautious with the numbers)

[spiral belfry]

Ok

[wet sigil]

For that amount I would just jump between outlaw stations for the suspicious packages

[spiral belfry]

Ok

But if I get like class A I will be happy and start grinding nanites

[rough thistle]

There are sites that create S Class staffs when you assemble them there

[spiral belfry]

Sites?

[rough thistle]

Autophage camps

[spiral belfry]

Are there coordinates?

[dim plaza]

if you did the autophage quest you should have a scanner that shows you camps on planets

[rough thistle]

I found this one, but there are more, some like this require certain parts
(https://www.reddit.com/r/NMSCoordinateExchange/comments/17t8x5z/1765_k_s_class_staff_this_is_the_best_dmg/)

Comments from some on that post are looking in the cabinet for it, that's not how it works, I've never seen a built staff in an MT cabinet

I have yet to make a staff, was planning on a long journey to find a number of sites that claim S Class results

[swift palm]

Uhhh what do with this?

[wet sigil]

It's used in a quest, A Trace of Metal

[visual ocean]

whats the best way to search for S-tier mineral hotspots?

So far I've been just looking for the closest mineral hotspot without looking at the tier but i think wanna try to optimize a little bit more.

Also what do you guys suggest for the structure of the mining outposts?

[charred haven]

for hotspots, afaik it's mostly about getting a lot of movement speed

it's random so get to as many as possible

[visual ocean]

so just "scan, if not the right mineral or low tier, go far enough and repeat"?

[charred haven]

you don't have to be at cetre of hotspot to see if it is the right mineral, but you have to get close to see tier

but yes

[visual ocean]

well yeah i meant just go far away from one hotspot so it stops detecting that one and looks for another

[charred haven]

yup

[visual ocean]

what about the base structure? So far im doing a very simple network of three excavators (one being in the hotspot center and two others besides it) connected to four silos

[charred haven]

you don't need a big setup to get alot of minerals.

Do consider that the excavators have diminishing returns after something like 4 or 8, but storage containers always store the number they say

[visual ocean]

wdym by diminishing returns?

[charred haven]

I'm not sure if it's after 4 or 8, so let's asume 8. when putting down the 9th, that one will extract so much less even at 100% efficiency that it is almost not worth putting it down

[visual ocean]

whuh?

[charred haven]

in this example 1-8 excavates s400 pr hour, but the ninth excavates at most 100

[wet sigil]

It's after you reach 1000/h

[charred haven]

thank you

[wet sigil]

So the difference between ranks is how many extractors you need before you reach this 1k/h, C takes 4, B and A takes 3, S takes 2

[charred haven]

you can also make a tower with an excavator on each floor, so each of them will be at 100% efficiency

[wet sigil]

However, this limit only applies to extractors connected to the same storage network. You can have as many as you want and not suffer too much diminishing returns provided each set of extractors are connected to different pools of storage

[charred haven]

wow I am putting down way to much stuff then XD

[charred haven]

📝

[wet sigil]

It depends on where you put them too, my numbers are if you placed them near the centre of the hotpot

1k/h is a better rule to follow

[visual ocean]

wait so as long as the total X/h of the excavator network doesn't exceed 1000, all extractors should work without decreased efficiency right?

[charred haven]

pretty much

[visual ocean]

also how do i do that, can i just stack excavators on top of each other?

[charred haven]

you can with free placement, I think, but it is much easier to build walls and then a floor/cieling

Like you would build a house

[wet sigil]

You cannot physically overlap the extractors, as they are treated as if they are in the same storage pool if you do that

[visual ocean]

wdym

[wet sigil]

Well, at least the extractors you plan on putting into different pools cannot overlap

Supply depots and extractors whose models overlap is treated as if they are connected to each other overlapping entity

I use that on my supply depots to cut down the number of piping needed to save object quota

[visual ocean]

ohh i see

[wet sigil]

But for separate pools you need some distance between them, but as long as they dont overlap, you should be ok

[charred haven]

they are also annoying to connect to each other when overlapping

[wet sigil]

Yes, it would be very annoying

Also, pools can share power grid, they only need their storage to be separated

[charred haven]

📝

[visual ocean]

well i guess ill go test and play with some structure layouts once im home. I'll definitely love some feedback so i can know if im doing it right

[charred haven]

I made a base with 15 excavators that share storage grid

I have regrets

You'll be fine

[visual ocean]

i mean i wont go for some insane extractor numbers because i already use 3.5k+ ferrite dust (which cant be automated besides a rustmetal farm) per outpost due to the amount of metal plating the silos and extractors need

ill probably go for 4 extractors stacked on top + 4 silos in a room nearby

[charred haven]

makes sense. I usually go for a setup that gives me min a stack when I collect

[visual ocean]

oh actually, is it just me or is getting the hot center of a spot super hard to locate? i almost always manage to miss the one last %. And im not even gonna mention placing an excavator in that spot

[charred haven]

It is yeah. I think the position for 100% is almost impossible to find, so 97% or even 95% would be fine

[wet sigil]

I usually put down 9 supply depots, as that gives close to a full stack of anything I need

[visual ocean]

90 metal plating goes brrr

[wet sigil]

19 is the max on a single network (approx one full day of extraction) anything more than that, I build a second network

[charred haven]

do you have a melting setup on your freighter?

[visual ocean]

u mean a refiner?

[charred haven]

yes

[wet sigil]

Yup... T3 economy systems got a little bit richer because of me

[visual ocean]

i have one but i basically never use it because whenever i need to refine stuff i just use the exosuit one

[charred haven]

Oh right, I assumed you wanted to extract rusted metal

metal plating is crafting, right, right, mb

[visual ocean]

tbf i still need to set up a rustmetal outpost

[charred haven]

how many refiners do you have in your freighter?

[visual ocean]

so far i have only copper, act copper, paraffinium, ammonia, dioxite

[visual ocean]

one

as i said, i dont really use my freighter for refining

hmm i guess metal plating can also be farmed via settlements

tbf i need to redesign my freighter base from ground up

its uggy rn

im open for suggestions

[charred haven]

For small amounts that is perfectly fine

on your freighter you can have unlimited refiners, up until the part limit. They don't need fuel, and if you get a setup that gives you a stack of rusted metal you have to refuel your exosuit refiner many times. Additionally a single refiner cannot hold more than a stack, and caps out on how much can be refined.

I don't have a big setup, but I have 18 refiners.

This means I can devide a stack by 18, and also the melting time.

But for small quantities you will be fine

[visual ocean]

floors?

you can have floors on the freighter?

[charred haven]

yes

[visual ocean]

wha how

[charred haven]

Short range teleporters too

for easy acces to said floors

[visual ocean]

how can i unlock freighter stairs

man i still have a lot to learn about this game huh

[vague geode]

Freighter base tech at the central console terminal

[charred haven]

salvaged freighter module right?

[visual ocean]

oh yeah how do i get those

[charred haven]

random rewards, and also with exalted ranks in certain faction rewards

Explores and one more I believe

[vague geode]

Missions- cargo container loot - guild rewards

[visual ocean]

i see

[vague geode]

Some people like running derelict freighters for them

[visual ocean]

also about this - is 2 the max production slots a settlement can have?

[visual ocean]

i think those are bugged for me because i wasn't able to open the storage crates in those

[wet sigil]

The openable storage crates are blue, orange crates cannot be opened

And some type of crate isn't very obvious about it showing if it is opened or not (the lid lifts up by like 2 inches)

[visual ocean]

^

[wet sigil]

Ah, odd

[visual ocean]

so far i found a total of 3 crashed freighters

i was able to loot a few crates from the first one

the second one i couldnt open the crates but i didnt think much of it cus i thought it was the one i already looted

but the 3rd i was 100% on a different planet and had the same issue

and by "crates" i mean those that look like storage cubes (the ones that have IDs from 0-9)

mouse-kb

just stating in general for others

[wet sigil]

Next time it happens, any chance you could post a screenshot?

[visual ocean]

ye

i marked the 3rd freighter with a beacon so i can go back to it

ill go there today when im home

also speaking of beacons, wish you could rename them

[wet sigil]

One thing i know doesn't like is input language, changing my keyboard to Bopomofo input basically neuters my control in NMS

Wait, hang on, do you mean derelict freighters or crashed freighters?

[visual ocean]

whats the difference qwq

[wet sigil]

Crashed freighter is planetside, derelict is in space

The containers, you may need to get closer to the "eye" of the container

[visual ocean]

crashed...

wait is there more to the derelict ones other than the cargo ships?

[wet sigil]

Sorry, I assumed you were meaning the space version for some reason >

[visual ocean]

yeah i was basically kissing it and couldnt open anything

[wet sigil]

The container or the eye of the container?

[visual ocean]

the eye

[wet sigil]

Ok, definitely not supposed to happen

Maybe try restarting the game next time it happens, after forcing a save firs5

[visual ocean]

im most likely noobing the fuck outta this game and probably missed a ton of stuff in places i visited >.<

[visual ocean]

tried that as well

[wet sigil]

Derelict freighter is not easy to run into randomly, youd have to use emergency scanner to encounter them reliably

Shooter optional, depending on the dungeons contents

[visual ocean]

[wet sigil]

Bugs? Prepare for dead space light

[visual ocean]

i thought theyre just for the two cargo ships to get a bunch of gold n shit

lmao im dum

[charred haven]

with enough units is it worth it to go to space stations and talk to the guy?

[vague geode]

Depends on the "why" of running it really and finding the right one.

5Mil is worth a cargo bulkhead to me.

[charred haven]

absolutely

[gray shoal]

When u see the unit prices for the ship and mt slots its def worth

[wet sigil]

I religiously buy the first 3 scanners everyday off grey market dealera

[ornate kite]

How do i get an Atlas multi-tool? They look so awsome

[brave moat]

soooo there is absolutely nothing I can do about this?

[brave moat]

You go to an alien monolith, look for this purple interface that will pop up if you have finished the autophage questline. You just follow what it tells you to and you get the opportunity to get one

[ornate kite]

U could dig the ground a little. That could fix it (but do it under the building not from the inside)

[ornate kite]

I began that questline today before headed to work

Read on capital and pirate freighters, you will need to own a regular freighter before dreadnoughts will start to spawn

[ornate kite]

I did visit the monolith during the questline for a quest step, but it wasent there.

[signal cedar]

IF you mean terrain regenerating - no, it will regenerate eventually

Best practice is to never build underground or excavate terrain for the base

[brave moat]

darn

[signal cedar]

Use naturally generated flat terrain areas around existing structures

or raise your whole build using foundation / scaffolding pieces to incorporate it into terrain shape

[ornate kite]

I had trees sticking through the floor and into my base building this morning. If it happens again iam most likly gonna raise my base into the air a little.

[signal cedar]

Only Korvax monoliths have the interface / pillar spawning those multitools

[brave moat]

I do NOT want to raise this, so I guess I will just live with it lol

[signal cedar]

And I think you need to finish that quest line to start using them

[ornate kite]

It was in a korvax system, i guess i can warp to a another one and find another monolith. Just gotta get some charts from space station first.

[midnight nexus]

Where did everybody live in NMS? I know there was this whole war between the korvax and the gek but I don’t see any cities or even towns. Where does it all happen?

[dim plaza]

erm did my message get purged

[atomic fractal]

So is parts hunting supposed to be a miserable experience? My save has around 80 hours, I have over 100 types of parts, and still I don't have enough to make what I want

The only way I managed to build something was relying on duplication glitch

[dire ginkgo]

What kind of parts

[visual ocean]

im guessing corvette

[atomic fractal]

Corvette parts

[vague roost]

A glitch you saaaaay....

[dire ginkgo]

You could use auto pilot step away from your cockpit and use a scanner to mark them then fly up to them and shoot with the photon canon

[atomic fractal]

I do this. Still it takes long to get something good

I frequently get the same pieces I already have or ones which I don't need

Until now I didn't even get the 3rd type of cockpit

[dire ginkgo]

Yeah it does take awhile

I recommend you go to a low atmosphere planet that has salvageable scrap and just go in a direction till you find them the reason I say low atmosphere is that your jatpack moves better and if you got the upgrade for recharging in the air you'll be moving like sonic

It will take a little longer than I think you will want but it is a quicker way

[atomic fractal]

About to make a new save just to use creative whenever I want to ship build

And trading parts isn't really functional, right?

[swift sand]

remember that we can use parts we dont want (most of them anyway) to barter for parts we want at the corvette workshop (advanced modules)

[atomic fractal]

I suppose to take many of them to get a single part?

When I tried that I wasn't very successful

[swift sand]

it depends on the parts you use to barter: you'll see that some add more % to the overall % to success at barter

[atomic fractal]

So if I really want a part and can't get it just keep hunting and then trade what I don't want for the one I want

[swift sand]

yep, pretty much

[atomic fractal]

Enabling creative mode does what to a save? Do I lose achievements or something?

It came to my mind while I abused duplication glitch when building my Corvette that at that point I could just be using creative

[swift sand]

in short, if changing difficulty settings would disable achievements, it would tell you so. that said, creative basically makes it so you dont have to farm corvette parts, they'll just be fully unlocked in the workshop build menu

[atomic fractal]

So absolutely no drawbacks?

[charred haven]

exept expedition parts?

[swift sand]

pretty much

[swift sand]

correct yes

[atomic fractal]

Damn

The tentation

[swift sand]

bartering

[atomic fractal]

But it sure is better than using duplication glitch. That thing is cancer

I only justify that for Freighter upgrade modules or whatever they're called

[charred haven]

how many non-expedition parts can I farm for in total?

[atomic fractal]

You don't lose the parts if it doesn't work, right?

[wary cedar]

wha's the best way to farm nanites?

[charred haven]

worst caase you can reload save

[charred haven]

in botspam !faq-nanites right bk?

[atomic fractal]

Buy suspicious packets at pirate systems, open them then sell

[atomic fractal]

Didn't work it seems

[swift sand]

there's some modules that apparently still arent available anywhere/arent dropping

ballast tank, coolant distributor, fuel cell, plasma core, shielded joint, high-energy ducting

and are only available to creative difficulty saves - but other than those, and the expedition rewards (deadeye cannon, aeron* parts), can obtain all of them you see on the build menu

[swift sand]

best/can also use #nms-commands these days, just below #nms-questions on the channel list

[swift sand]

where did you type the command?

[swift sand]

and right, it just fails

[atomic fractal]

I didn't, the bro did

[atomic fractal]

Here

[swift sand]

no, he suggested you to run it

[atomic fractal]

Oh ok

So this post is misleading, I can still achieve trophies?

[swift sand]

the only achievements you cannot do in creative settings are survival's and permadeath's reach the center achievements, which ofc makes sense. everything else can be earned with creative+creative-like settings. in short, if you're currently playing a normal mode save, it wont matter a bit. plus, you can just set difficulty settings back to normal after you're done

[fading temple]

hi all

ares and helios are bug?

they dont speak with me i cant register achievements

[swift sand]

i've seen some players reporting various kinds of issues with them, mostly helios. pause, discoveries menu, lower left of the screen, is the connection to ODS server active?

[fading temple]

i tryed in a clean game from pc and ps4 and i have the same problem

[fading temple]

no, may be for that?

[swift sand]

i'd suggest getting that back up yeah, then retrying

[fading temple]

okay i try to turn up the ODS

[swift sand]

yeah, it just really needs an active online connection, but there could be other factors impacting your ability to connect to it (e.g. home network, failing to resolve dns, country of origin imposes blocks). anything else just let us know.

[fading temple]

i try to prove in pc and ps4 if the ODS connection solve the problem i say here

yup this solve the problem in pc and ps4

[atomic fractal]

Thanks

[warped drift]

How do I get a Sentinel Ship? I know I need a dissonant planet but i‘m confused

I‘m not finding one

[rough thistle]

https://www.reddit.com/r/NMSCoordinateExchange/search/?q=Sentinel+ship&cId=d8f31b6c-40b5-4ab7-a299-0b9a5f3dfc8e&iId=dc7435e8-5144-4fc3-b022-738391439e48

[swift sand]

in short, there's multiple routes to find a sentinel ship - have you seen ⁨!faq-interceptor⁩ command? type it in #nms-commands , i'll recommend doing the harmonic camp route at least once per save

anything else just ask

[vital estuary]

Make sure it isn't an uncharted system, or that the planet doesn't have gold or rusted metal as resources.

[warped drift]

Okay, thanks

[tiny brook]

Anyone know what to do here?

[swift sand]

child of helios only has a gameplay function when spawned by the starbirth quest

otherwise just pretty to look at

[tiny brook]

ah so pretty much useless rn

[charred haven]

look at it forever, for a while, take a screenshot, or move on

[tiny brook]

useless darn detector

[charred haven]

but pretty

[tiny brook]

any use for this one?

[swift sand]

i'd suggest always saving before using an anomaly detector. if you're hunting for living frigates, i'd suggest typing ⁨!faq-livingfrigate⁩ in #nms-commands for more infos

[tiny brook]

nah not hunting

just seeing what they do

[stuck berry]

Shoot it to get maximum sentinel wanted level (which would most likely be a bad thing unless you can defeat a Sentinel Capital Ship)

[tiny brook]

the corvette things? yeah i can defeat them

i could do with another sentinel ship

might as well start blasting

damn u didnt mention it gives u 600 nanites xD

[tiny brook]

any idea how they can damage your modules when you still have shields?

[stuck berry]

That's just how technology damage works, the chance for technology to damage increases with how low your shields are

[tiny brook]

so even if you still have shields u can have tech damaged?

[stuck berry]

there's also a difficulty option that scales this even further, so on Survival and Permadeath it's even more prevalent

[tiny brook]

damn i wasnt aware

good to know

any idea what percent shields it starts at?

[vital estuary]

Seems 50% or so could be a point but im sure others have seen different.

[tiny brook]

alr

cheers

[vital estuary]

Spaceship shields can be recharged anytime so if you see them getting low just feed it something to recharge.

[tiny brook]

yea ik

[steel folio]

This might seem obvious, but can you only get Lithium after completing "In Stellar Multitudes"?

[stuck berry]

Correct, outside of intervention from other players (like them giving you it)

You can get it during "In Stellar Multitudes" if you encounter a Waterworld as your first purple star system (which you do get to choose)

[wary cedar]

i got 3 ancient keys what to do with it?

[stuck berry]

You can open the nearby chest that requires 3 keys to unlock

[wary cedar]

do i have to dig

[steel folio]

Interesting - a bit of an odd choice for them to softlock Settlement progression behind a completely unrelated quest, but guess I'll have to finally bother with that quest 😅

[stuck berry]

It's at the dig site where you got the keys from, so yes

If you lost where that is, you could donate them to Explorer Guild envoys for reputation instead

[steel folio]

yes - one of the symbols in your Analysis Visor will look different - a chest symbol - dig to it and then you can slot the keys in to get an Artifact

otherwise you can donate them as Grouch says

[azure geyser]

chat can you recharge everything in a sentinel interceptor with radiant shards?

[stuck berry]

You should still be able to progress your settlement though?

Just not unlock that specific S-Class upgraded building

[steel folio]

Nah, the Tower's S-Class is locked behind a Lithium requirement

[stuck berry]

That's not a requirement for progressing it though

That's optional, and can be put on hold until the mission is complete

[steel folio]

yeah, that's what I meant - Settlement is already S-Class itself
I was just saying its an odd design choice to lock "completing" a Settlement, as in getting everything ranked to S, being locked behind a completely separate questline 🤷‍♂️

[azure geyser]

anyone?

[stuck berry]

I think so, I can check

[azure geyser]

sure lemme know

[sweet sierra]

Hello i have a question

Where can find this ship ?

[wary cedar]

got a bundle of astonish fruit

[azure geyser]

wait for it to spawn, theres like a 1-2% chance of it spawning anywhere (space station, trading hubs, your own base landing spots, etc)

[stuck berry]

You can recharge everything with Radiant Shards

[stuck berry]

Go to those coordinates in the image, then sit at a trade outpost and wait

[zinc cloak]

Euclid Galaxy (The first one) and find a portal and enter the address in the pic.

[wary cedar]

i am hunting for that portal

[azure geyser]

ic ty

[stuck berry]

you could also save and reload after 5 starships have landed to force all of them to despawn and a whole new batch to spawn and land

[wary cedar]

[sweet sierra]

I don't know how to find portal lol

[stuck berry]

!faq-portal @sweet sierra

[tulip dust]

-# to view info below, enable embeds

Locating a Portal

1. Obtain the race relic item to give to a Monolith, [see this post](#nms-questions message);
2. Locate a Monolith, [see this post](#nms-questions message);
3. Interact with the same Monolith twice to locate Portal, [see this post](#nms-questions message).

📚 Notes:

• Portals don't have to be unlocked via any quest.
• To fully use the portal network, the player must unlock all 16 portal glyphs and purple star systems.
  • Run !faq-portalglyphs and !faq-purplesystems in #bot-spam to learn more.
• A portal is not the same as a teleporter. (see image )
• For planets in uncharted systems, obtain the glyph address of that planet via photomode, and portal to it from another system.
  

Contributor(s): Atlas Emissaries

[sweet sierra]

Oh thanks

[stuck berry]

You must also have the portal glyphs unlocked #nms-commands message

The easiest way to do that is to complete the main story.

[sweet sierra]

I completed the main story

[zinc cloak]

Are minerals and fauna interaction points always super off-center from the visible model in water worlds for anyone else or just me?

[wary cedar]

@stuck berry i got the monith

the fact thats it on my own planet on top of that its paradise planet

and the portal is on my planet

what the f

[stuck berry]

That's normal, the monolith you locate will be on the planet you're on if you're on one

and therefore the monolith will locate the portal of that planet

[wary cedar]

can i teleport now or have to collect glyphs

[stuck berry]

You must have the glyphs unlocked to input them into a charged portal

You can place and claim a Base Computer at the portal to reuse it later by teleporting to the base (does not require a Teleporter to be built at the base)

[wary cedar]

i havent build a proper base anyway so i will shift all my things near the portal it self

[stuck berry]

You can have up to 400 bases, so don't worry too much

[wary cedar]

using portal i can get S class multitools right (increase chances ig)

[stuck berry]

That would work, if using coordinates documented by other players

Multi-Tool type and class is fully consistent and predetermined

[wary cedar]

okay are the other glyphs hard to get?

[stuck berry]

Completing the main story is the easiest way to unlock all of them

[wary cedar]

which one the Atlas path or the space anomaly?

[stuck berry]

Neither of those, the other one #nms-commands message

[dim plaza]

what happens if you force your internet off, go to a planet and place a base computer at the exact coordinates a base already exists? (you cant see the base because internet is off but you can learn its coords and go there offline(

[analog scroll]

You only ever see your base, the other person only ever sees theirs, assuming both are uploaded

[dim plaza]

thats a good fix

I went to effigy IV recently but was scared I would build over someone else

cuz my pc is offline

thanks

[ornate kite]

Can anyone help? It dosent give me a waypoint

[analog scroll]

Nor will it. Those are portal glyphs

[ornate kite]

Good thing i got a portal location markt at my system

[hushed saffron]

Make sure to put a base computer by the portal if you don't already have one saved somewhere else so you can return to it and use it at any time

[ornate kite]

Got a save point next to portal

[hushed saffron]

Like the little save beacon or a base computer, because you cant teleport to save beacons from terminuses

[ornate kite]

The save point i can see from anywhere in my system so ik where portal is

[hushed saffron]

Alrighty

I think base computers also have markers, but, so long as you can get back to the system you can get back to the portal so it still works :)

Not one I've seen reported so far

[ornate kite]

30 jumps and 3 hours and 30 mins later. Still no freighter battle triggerd. Iam missing something?

[analog scroll]

What is Space Combat set to in your difficulty settings? Are you through the story mission Ghost in the Machine? Note that the time in warp does not count as play time for the freighter timer

[ornate kite]

I finished artemis story and iam playing on relaxed.

[analog scroll]

Open your difficulty settings, look at Space Combat. What is it set to exactly?

[ornate kite]

Cant check. I lockt those settings to keep me from cheating

[analog scroll]

If you set it to none, you will never see a freighter battle

If you did not, one of the 2 criteria is not met

[ornate kite]

But acording to google its set to low. (I play on relaxed)

[analog scroll]

Then you have not met the time since your last freighter battle, or the warps since your last freighter battle, or both

[ornate kite]

Then iam just gonna set down a portal/base computer in a system next to the target system (target system gives me class s pirate dreadnought) so when i do trigger a battle. I just autoload last save and portal to that base i place down.

[analog scroll]

There are no guaranteed freighter class spawns

[ornate kite]

I checkt google and got a glypth adress. So

[analog scroll]

At most there will be a 5% chance of it being S class. All ship/freighter/tool spawns are random chance based on system economy. In this case, like many, Google is wrong.

[ornate kite]

So glyhp adress does not help freighters?

Confirm?

[analog scroll]

Not even a little. You can get a glyph address to a specific look for a freighter, but not for class

Additionally, if you're after a pirate freighter you have to already own a freighter or they will not spawn

[ornate kite]

I do have a class a dreadnought

Well shit

Thats 3 hours wasted.

@analog scroll just to confirm so i dont waste more time. What does glypth do help (when searching for specific class of gear)

[analog scroll]

You can find specific multi tools with glyphs, because class is determined by the cabinet (does not apply to staff tools, they're different). You can find specific looks for ships, and use that to roll for class, either by reloading your non-corvette save and warping again in the case of freighters, or just by waiting in the case of normal ships

[outer tree]

does all my npc console progress carry over to my freighter if i rebuild them? considering getting rid of an old base where i completed alot of missions for npcs

[ornate kite]

Ships class dosent matter to me when glypth searching cuz i can allways uppgrade class with nanites

@analog scroll also. I got my living ship now. I wanna ask if i did good with the upgrades i had waiting for it. Can i show you?

[analog scroll]

I don't use living ships, so I'm not going to be a good resource for that

[ornate kite]

Oof

I got a problem with my base. This happens everytime i return to my base. Any ide how to fix?

[analog scroll]

Altered terrain regenerates. Build with or above the terrain

[ornate kite]

Then i gotta delete all i built. And replace it all higher off the ground

[still fractal]

Does anyone have advice on getting a Freighter? I've got multiple hours on my save but I don't seem to get the event to save one

[analog scroll]

What story mission are you on? What is Space Combat set to in your difficulty settings?

@still fractal☝️

[steel folio]

you dont have to get your Freighter that way - you can just fly and board one of the boardable ones, go to the Captain, and buy the Freighter

obviously free is better, but if you're finding yourself softlocked or something, Units can solve this problem

[south sable]

It used to be that when you got Atlas Sceptre from Quicksilver Merchant, the supercharge slot layout would be randomized. However on my fresh PC permadeath save it seems to not be randomized. Does anyone know if HG changed it to no longer be randomized? Or if it's just not randomized anymore due to some changes in recent patches?

[swift sand]

i'd suggest just moving to a diff system, and using the "eliminate haz flora" nexus mission type to find your own graves without needing a traveller; see ⁨!faq-portalglyphs⁩ in #nms-commands and method C for more details

[atomic fractal]

How does multiplayer work in this game? If someone warps to my system I'll see them or what?

[analog scroll]

Assuming you both have the capability of multiplayer, yes

[atomic fractal]

Once I was standing on top of someone's Corvette and they got out of the Anomaly with me on it, but once we got in the other side of the warp I was in a system I had never been remotely close before, on my Corvette and no sign of other player

The only time I saw other players in a world were in a quicksilver mission that gave 1400 coins. There were lots of players

[analog scroll]

That, the Anomaly, and expeditions are the only places you're likely to run into other players. The universe in this game is BIG

[atomic fractal]

What about the ride I took with the player?

Maybe he had MP off so that's why I didn't see him anymore?

[analog scroll]

Or he went to a purple system which you don't have unlocked, so it sent you somewhere else

[atomic fractal]

Wait I can't get into one not even if I get a ride?

Or it's because I was outside the ship lol?

[analog scroll]

Not until you have them unlocked

[atomic fractal]

Even if I'm inside my friend's freighter? Weird logic

So does the same apply to indium systems? I can't bring a friend of mine there if he doesn't have access to it?

[analog scroll]

You don't have to unlock R/G/B systems, only have the drive. You can taxi others to those systems. Purple systems are locked behind a quest. You can't even see them until you finish the quest

[atomic fractal]

Guess I'll make it a hobby then to invade people's ships in the Anomaly and go to their home world

[upper thunder]

do i have to follow the route that the game has made for me reguarding the galaxy map, or can i go where i want?

[analog scroll]

The game will pick systems close to you for mission objectives as you progress the story. Apart from that, do what you like

[upper thunder]

oh ok, thanks

[spring whale]

Random claimable base?

[swift sand]

yeah, these still exist, game generated, ready to claim base comp, with a flattened area around to go along with it. basically, a feature from times past

when we couldnt simply just build a base comp anywhere we wanted, or when, later on, we were on the other side of the portal and couldnt build one (aka portal interference)

[spring whale]

Thats cool, yea its a nice spot to build, just sucks theres no resources nearby. Im looking for a spot to mine radon

.
Wait, when the game released you couldn't build anywhere you wanted. Thats silly

Good change

[swift sand]

a radon hotspot you mean? remember that 1) survey device pings with the direction of nearest hotspot, even when it says there's no hotspots in range; 2) we can expand default build bubble from 300u up to 1000u in any direction

[spring whale]

Yea, Im looking for a radon hotspot.

Thats a handy graph👍

[swift sand]

@spring whale also see this video https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/839545127692795954/1185031467336736820/survey_device_howto_handshake_1.mp4

When the game first released, bases weren't a thing 😉

[spring whale]

No bases?!

[spring whale]

Dude, thank you for that video! I had no idea.

[swift sand]

on the other side of the portal as in, we portaled to some planet, and are on that side of the portal

we couldnt drop and claim a base comp, couldnt teleport out, couldnt summon freighter in

if we wanted to be able to teleport back to that address, we had to find a wild base comp

or we just custom waypointed the system from discoveries and warped there

[compact spire]

No base, no carriers, no settlements, no multiplayer, and, for many people, no(t) able to start the game because their servers were too unreliable at launch 😛

that's basically the icon the devs picked to go with it, to be pulse engine related, i guess, even though auto recharge is a launch thruster stat, not a pulse engine one

[round ledge]

I just went to a Sentinel camp with a multi tool, and took the one in the camp thinking i could strip it for parts and put them on the one I had. Did I just loose my multi tool, or can I get it back somehow?

[analog scroll]

Quick Menu > Utilities

[round ledge]

Oh ok thank you! I was really worried I messed up

[atomic fractal]

Ok but what's the "increase" stats?

In the top we have a pulse engine fuel efficiency but idk what's increase

Also, is the flame thrower mid or mine just isn't upgraded enough?

[analog scroll]

Makes your pulse engine fuel last longer

[winter phoenix]

It would have been a lot easier if you posted what the others are so we could guess by process of elimination. I don't speak whatever language that is, but I believe that's "Boost", which governs the speed you go when you hold down shift in a starship.

[swift sand]

vesper sail tech is unique to solar sail ship type, and its stats are +80% pulse engine efficiency, launch thruster auto rechrge (when ship is parked and active), +10% maneuverability and +15% boost speed (when you hold shift or B/circle)

[patent ice]

Hi folks! I just start this game, and I ran out of launch fuel. I have dihydrogen and metal plates, but I do not have an option to craft the launch fuel. Also no uranium on my planet. Any suggestions? Or am I missing something with crafting?

[stuck berry]

Why do you not have the option?

You can always craft it

[winter phoenix]

Maybe you have the option and it's just on a different page? Press the arrow buttons

[stuck berry]

You may have a specific crafting tab open instead of the "All" one

[swift sand]

you can get flamethrower upgrade modules from some space station exocraft upgrade stations, but it's mostly good against bio lifeforms iirc

[analog scroll]

You should know the blueprint no matter what, it's taught to you very early

[patent ice]

I'll check some more. the menus are confusing when I am just learning the game

I figured it out.... I hadn't made the plates yet ( i thought I did, butI guess I didn't when I didn't see the option for the fuel)

[atomic fractal]

Likely that, for some reason on my language it's just called "increase", vague like that

[atomic fractal]

Aren't our enemies in the game mostly machines?

[swift sand]

yeah, bit of a weird translation for boost. remember that since you're in an english server, lots of people wont understand pt-pt or pt-br

[swift sand]

hmm yeah, though there's biohorrors too for example

[atomic fractal]

I know, I just thought it was called "increase" in English so people would recognize lol

[atomic fractal]

So the higher that stat the faster the ship is? It's weird how there isn't a general speed stats bar

[stuck berry]

Kind of, boost is a stat that isn't shown and is also capped very low

[atomic fractal]

What does it mean? All ships have a similar max speed when fully upgraded?

[stuck berry]

Somewhat yes, depending on the type of ship and it's class. Here are the true top speeds for all ship types at S-Class, know that the speedometer is incredibly misleading normally

[still fractal]

Interceptors my beloved

[sacred heart]

Hi, I kinda new here. I wanted to know if it's a common issue that when I activate DLSS on a 4000 rtx card it runs even worse, is there something that I'm missing? thanks beforehand

[stuck berry]

Personally it runs far better with DLSS, but I also haven't turned it off in a very long time

[zinc cloak]

How close do you have to be to a monolith to detect one with the exocraft sensor? Are there other ways to find them besides happening upon them by chance?

[stuck berry]

If you haven't restarted after enabling it, do so

[stuck berry]

You can directly locate one by using the quick menu option unlocked by having the Radar Power Resonator installed onto the Exocraft, or by using Alien charts

See the second link in this message #nms-commands message

[zinc cloak]

Yeah the exocraft radar is what I'm doing and it's not working but thanks for the alien chart tip

[stuck berry]

Why is it not working? If it is not, you may be in an uncharted system, which do not have monoliths or any other inhabited/built structures (besides portals)

What error is it giving?

[zinc cloak]

No nearby building located. I'm in a Korvax inhabited system (not abandoned) and I guess I'm just not close enough to one.

[stuck berry]

Possibly try somewhere else on the planet or possibly a different planet, it should be able to locate one across the whole planet though, similar to using an Alien chart

[swift sand]

not often but it can happen, they do have limited range

in the eventually that happens, i switch to alien chart yeah

[zinc cloak]

Idk then if it's supposed to be the whole planet. I already found a monolith through the scavenging a sentinel intercepter quest, which means I can't use it to find a portal. Surely there's not only one monolith on the planet?

[zinc cloak]

That's what I'll do

No just a normal planet. relatively speaking. it's dissonant and has boundary failure

[swift sand]

yeah, i'd probably just pop a chart to save time, really high chance of marking monolith

[atomic fractal]

But no upgrades?

[stuck berry]

The chart displays them with the maximum upgraded boost

which again, is capped extremely low

these speeds are reachable by installing only like 2 S-Class pulse engine upgrade modules, and again are the speeds of the ship type at S-Class (which for some reason class innately affects speed)

[sacred heart]

oh yes, sorry, I meant FGx2

[atomic fractal]

Damn Corvettes are extremely fast for their size

[stuck berry]

And have you tried restarting the game after enabling it?

[sacred heart]

yes sir

[atomic fractal]

Good to know

[round ledge]

I was hoping I could salvage the A class of of the Sentinel ship to save to make my own out of, but I guess that's not how it works

[stuck berry]

Correct, you cannot fabricate sentinel interceptors

[atomic fractal]

Does the speed on a Corvette change much with size?

[stuck berry]

They have many dozens of possible parts, creating an interface to build one would be a nightmare, nevermind making it cohesive to the average player

[stuck berry]

No.

It's basically not affected

[round ledge]

Oh well I got 12 million credits lol

[stuck berry]

Only maneuverability is, and even then by not a ton

[round ledge]

Im rich

[atomic fractal]

Really? I've seen people saying this is extremely random

And buggy

[stuck berry]

Yes, it's chaotic

but a consistency is that it doesn't affect speed, or at least top speed, at all

maybe it does, but adding surplus boost upgrades negates that entirely

[atomic fractal]

What happens after we kill the Walker and destroy the Sentinel tower in a planet? Do we get rid of Sentinels in the planet permanently?

[tiny turtle]

Im stranded on a water planet with no di hydrogen is there any way to get help

[stuck berry]

We cannot destroy Sentinel Pillars, and it is impossible to permanently change the sentinel level of a planet outside of changing on-foot combat difficulty options

[stuck berry]

Do you have access to multiplayer?

[tiny turtle]

I think so

[stuck berry]

Go to Options > Network > View NMS Friends List, what is your Friend Code?

[atomic fractal]

Yeah but we access the computer and deactivate the Sentinel forces, so it's just a temporary thing

[stuck berry]

It is temporary, it clears when we leave the system, or exit the game

[tiny turtle]

4GKM-0QBR-RH2JP

I think thats it

[stuck berry]

Also add mine, which is in my name

[stuck berry]

I assume that this is you? (It just appeared)

[tiny turtle]

Yes

[dire ginkgo]

Does anyone know how to link my friend code when using commands like faq my friend code

[zinc cloak]

How did this happen lol

[stuck berry]

By typing ⁨!myaccount AAAA-AAAA-AAAAA⁩ in #bot-spam I believe, but replace that with your friend code

[dire ginkgo]

Thx

[visual ocean]

it happened again aaaaaaa

i cant open these stupid crates from crashed freighters

[winter wolf]

if you try to interact with the terminal on top there?

[visual ocean]

this is the 3rd freigher im having this issue with

no matter how close i am to the "eye" of the cargo pod, there is no prompt to open it

[stuck berry]

Is there anyone who has completed expedition 20 and would be willing to craft some corvette parts for me so I can building my ship? (I will give you all the materials you need to make them)

[winter wolf]

ask in #nms-lfg-or-trades

[stuck berry]

I just did thank you

[atomic fractal]

Is there a way to take that? I'm on the level I can't destroy the ground anymore

[stuck berry]

Just move on to the next one, it may be impossible to collect that one

[zinc cloak]

If it were salvageable scrap you would be able to use the geology cannon to destroy and collect it but for salvaged data if you can't get close enough to have the 'collect' option pop up then you can't get it :/

[somber lion]

If you destroy terrain in a base does it regenerate?

[stuck berry]

It eventually does, yes, at least due to bugs

it's not something that can be relied upon for long-term base building

[somber lion]

Alr

[orchid latch]

Is there a place to find friends? Most of mine hardly play 😄
For like weekend link up

[winter wolf]

#nms-lfg-or-trades

[meager pike]

how much would it be for a copy of all atlas parts? only just found out today that if someone trades them to you you can craft them

[winter wolf]

ask in #nms-lfg-or-trades

[meager pike]

oh okay thanks

[languid briar]

Are the ships you can find on the purple crystal planets any good?

[ember helm]

Sentinel ships? yeah

[wet sigil]

They are basically fighter with more storage (it caps at 120 instead of 100 for fighters), has the fastest in atmosphere speed and scraps for quite a bit more money than other starships wrecks (c class start at 20m, give or take, while other wrecks, after fully repairing tops out at maybe 30m at S rank, Frequently below 10m for C class)

[ember helm]

imo they're the best for early game since you can recharge any component with those crystals

[wet sigil]

And they also start with significant hyperdrive range, a blessing early on

[nova wyvern]

They're also a great way to easily get a TON of money at the start

[ember helm]

even later, im sitting on almost 100 starship ai valves from sentinel ship hunting lmao

[round ledge]

Yeah I just salvaged one for 24 million

[nova wyvern]

Same, they're my backup got when I decide I want that s class hauler that just landed and the exotic next to it 🤣

[round ledge]

Wow

I haven't seen a S class ship or anything. What does the class rank mean?

[wet sigil]

Class mostly dictates how much tech slots and cargo slots they can have, as well as their stat ranges, but they can be upgraded with nanites

[round ledge]

Oh ok cool

I was wondering how i get more tech slots on my ship

[wet sigil]

Many players hunt for S rank because it's an S but generally speaking, S ranks generally don't mean much without the tech upgrades to go with it

[round ledge]

Makes sense

[wet sigil]

Same way as you upgrade cargo slots, except you click on an empty tech slot first before committing

This is true for every type of slots that has cargo and tech (exosuit and freighters follow exact same rule)

[round ledge]

Ive only ever found suit upgrades

By the vendors in space stations

[wet sigil]

The starship outfitters at the back of space stations has options to upgrade your starship slots

[round ledge]

Oh ok ill have to go look

[wet sigil]

Ground floor, left side of the back wall of space station

[round ledge]

I want to install a scanner deflecter and start delivering illegal stuff

Save up nanites to build my own ship

[wet sigil]

You don't strictly need scanner deflector, I don't use it since it's such a hassle to activate them

[ember helm]

yeah i did plenty of contraband missions before having the blueprint for it

[wet sigil]

(you have to manually activate them when the scanning is in progress)

[round ledge]

Makes sense

[ember helm]

(and it's not even guaranteed to work)

[vital estuary]

Someone said the option to deflect sentinel scans wasn't popping up for them so made no difference.

[ember helm]

personally my cargo scan deflector is simply flying into a space station

100% hit rate

[wet sigil]

The best way to avoid contraband scanning is to teleport to one of your bases from a outlaw station and then teleport back to a normal space station using the base teleporter, much faster and no scanning risks

[round ledge]

And I guess I could just run away from the Sentinels. I got caught with a forged passport and had to fight Sentinels. Seemed like they never stop coming so I ran

[vital estuary]

Once you upgrade the ship some you could just fight them too which is what I did.
Goes for 5 waves then kill the capital ship.

[wet sigil]

Alternatively you can use a second ship to hide your contraband, and don't use that ship fly

I would argue that even if scanning deflector worked automatically and 100% rate, it still wouldn't be that useful lol

[round ledge]

I fought 4 waves then couldn't figure out how to beat the big ship. It wouldn't let me behind the shield

[wet sigil]

You fly close to it and shoot the metal shiny spheres on the aides

Like you basically have to fly to point blank range, the shield isnt all that big

And there are 2 on each side

[round ledge]

Oh ok

[wet sigil]

It's tricky when you don't have all the upgrades

[round ledge]

I imagine so

[scenic raven]

yeah youve pretty much gotta be right up on the shield gens to take them out

[round ledge]

Bumper to bumper

[wet sigil]

Basically

[round ledge]

Lol

[thorn gulch]

Is there a easy way to get Nanites🫩

[wet sigil]

If your screen isn't entirely covered by the ship, you are probably not close enough lol

[wet sigil]

Easiest: scrap sentinel ships until you have 100m, then space station hop suspicious packages, open them all and sell the techs

[granite sail]

Hello, where to find Giant Paradise Planets?

[round ledge]

The outlaw mission pay alot of nanites. Got 900 from a really easy one

[wet sigil]

Repeat until you have desired amount of nanites. The base nanites rate for this method, after you have the pirate stations listed on your space teleport, should be roughly 100k an hour

[wet sigil]

Do you have purple systems unlocked?

[round ledge]

Dang

[granite sail]

Yes

[scenic raven]

refining tainted metal also gives alot 1:2 conversion

[wet sigil]

Then it's a matter of going through the systems

[thorn gulch]

I see ima try this out thx

[granite sail]

Ic, thx

[wet sigil]

Avoid any systems with gas giant label, since a system can have, at most, one giant plabet

[granite sail]

OH REALLY? icic, thx thx. I thought i have to go Giant Gas labels

[wet sigil]

I personally wouldn't recommend it just for the nanites, the emergency scanners are too expensive for the nanites. On a good freighter, you get maybe 3000 nanites across the entire freighter, which is about one or two pirate stations worth of suspicious packages

[thorn gulch]

I been trying to upgrade my ship but idk how to unlock other blueprints like the turret blaster and parts of the ship?

[wet sigil]

Anomaly

[atomic fractal]

Where do I get construction beams? I need to raise a house from the ground

[wet sigil]

But the upgrade techs packages are sold on space stations

[scenic raven]

i used to buy the metal in bulk from people who hoarded it, just ran up to five large refiners while base building and checking them every now and then, easy 20k a stack, havemt had any reason to try any other methods since ive been set for a while XD

[wet sigil]

I have never bought anything from anyone personally, since the game is too open to ascertain the sources of the tainted metals lol

[thorn gulch]

Could you explain a little more? Mb I’m still confused

[wet sigil]

Space anomaly, the big space ball you summon

[thorn gulch]

Ohhhh

[wet sigil]

It has unlocks for the starship

[thorn gulch]

Where do I find them ?

[scenic raven]

eh, fair enough, ended up doing all that originally like a month after desolation released

[atomic fractal]

Someone?

[wet sigil]

Jet pack up to the platform behind the nexus, that will bring you to where Nada and Polo is, run directly ahead, you will reach a rotunda, that has various NPCs and terminals you can purchase unlocks from

[scenic raven]

what do you exactly mean by raise a ground from the ground

[wet sigil]

I use walls to raise building floor, there might be platforms but some require you to build them after you have the buildings built

[atomic fractal]

Fixed

[wet sigil]

A rather counterintuitive way to build supports, but the construction beams you speak of is probably best done by using walls instead

[atomic fractal]

Won't it look bad? Do you have an image of how they end up looking?

[scenic raven]

didnt process that you meant flooring, mb

[wet sigil]

I am not aware of any actual beams that serves as a support, but I don't build for looks, I build for function, and I only used walls as a way to raise platforms

[thorn gulch]

Yooo thank you

[scenic raven]

there are foundation pieces you can use instead for after you get everything to the level you want, just swap the original support walls out for them afterwards

[wet sigil]

All I know is that the prefab supports has to be built after the prefabs are placed, not becore

[wary cedar]

Which type of multi tools are best currently?

[wet sigil]

Whichever you like the looks best, but if I had to pick one, sentinel tools

[thorn gulch]

Bro know everything 😮

[wet sigil]

I don't ><

[atomic fractal]

But where do I get those?

[wet sigil]

Anomaly

[wary cedar]

I see
I like those sentinel and royal

[thorn gulch]

There no way😑

[scenic raven]

from the anomaly, one of the first two vendors on the left all the way in the back past polo

[wary cedar]

I get a S class via the glyphs portal right
Need to get all glyphs and do that for sure

[atomic fractal]

This I know, but which section?

[scenic raven]

now that, i don't remember off the top of my head

[wet sigil]

Try middle terminal on the left side, between the starship and exosuit unlockers

[atomic fractal]

I know the terminal, the problem is that there are so many tabs on the construction terminal

Guess I found

[thorn gulch]

How do I get core modules ?

And structural decoration?

[wet sigil]

Yeah the wall I used is just the standard walls. I personally use the salvaged walls (the dark blue ones) as I had abundance of atlantideums,

[wet sigil]

Core modules?

[thorn gulch]

Like this type of stuff

How do I unlock them?

[wet sigil]

You have to have the actual items

Corvette construction is different than building construction, they are built out of parts, not manufactured on the spot like buildings are

You can buy basic parts with units from the terminal itself, but it offers very limited selection, for the rest you have to find them

E.g the famed phase beam turret can only be found or traded with other found parts

[stoic vale]

Does anyone know if it is possible to get 592/592 collected knowledge? I'm stuck on 591...

[knotty bramble]

How does one get better staff?

[cosmic pagoda]

Hey guys I found something weird asf

Grave of the sea king in a redacted moon

Is it rare

[winter wolf]

you can upgrade the one you have, or you can build a new one

[winter wolf]

grave of the ocean king is one of the more rare space encounters. [redacted] type planet can refer to a number of different subtypes, none are especially rare.

[shell ridge]

Rare space anomaly. Some give rewards if you fly close to them, others need to be shot, others don't give anything and don't react to being shot. They're just there.

[nova zealot]

Hiya, so I'm resetting my starbirth mission at a set of coordinates for a ship. I already did it once before and got the living ship I wanted, and this is my third egg (I've completed the first starbirth quest also). This time, though, resetting the mission next to the coordinates didn't work. It kept sending me to the same ship 9 hours away. So I went to that ship and claimed it, and I'm standing here and resetting - only now, the coordinates seem to be all over the planet. Why might it be different this time than the first time I claimed a ship at coordinates? That first time, all I needed to do was stand at the coordinates and restart the mission, and the crashed ship turned into the living ship.

[knotty bramble]

I'm in the customization section, and I see there is a locked item called the Whale stalker cloak, how does one obtain such a thing?

[winter wolf]

you need to complete Expedition 7: Leviathan https://nomanssky.miraheze.org/wiki/Expedition_7:_Leviathan#Iteration_5:~:text=Whalestalker Cloak customisation

at the moment that is only available with mods

[knotty bramble]

Oof

[wet sigil]

There is some random element to it. Did you interact with the wreck that you want the living ship to be?

[nova zealot]

I think I did find my mistake. I must have seen it with my visor and locked it in, yeah. Is it possible to lose that information eventually as I explore other points of interest in other galaxies the same way I lose discovery info after a while?

Only other option would probably be ask my friend to find the ship for me and join him in multiplayer

[knotty bramble]

Do the components attached account for anything or are they just for cosmetic purposes?

[wet sigil]

I am not 100% sure if simply looking it with the visor locks it in, but what I would try is claim that ship, put a base there, and periodically check that crash site until the wreck respawns, then try avain

[wet sigil]

The head dictates the staff's stats at that terminal, the other 2 parts are cosmetic

[wary cedar]

anyone have layout guide for each component like mt ship and suit

[nova zealot]

Sounds good, I'll give it a go. Thank you!

[atomic fractal]

Do some expedition ships have customizable parts?

[stuck berry]

No, except for the Iron Vulture which can be salvaged into Hauler parts that can be mixed and matched with other Hauler parts

[atomic fractal]

Oh

[stuck berry]

That hauler uses the Iron Vulture cockpit

[atomic fractal]

How do expedition ships work? People can always claim one after they unlock it? Or they get a single ship from the expedition and if they lose it it's gone?

[stuck berry]

Once unlocked in the expedition (or via other unofficial means), they can claim a copy of it once per save. They could also set it as their primary ship in an expedition linked to their main save, then copy it to their main save and salvage it an endless amount of times

[atomic fractal]

Wdym copy to the main save?

Also what are the unofficial ways of getting them?

[stuck berry]

You can copy an expedition save (that was began from the expedition terminus)'s current primary ship to your main save by interacting with the expedition terminus while back on the main save

[stuck berry]

#nms-questions message

[atomic fractal]

So only on PC...

[stuck berry]

Some expedition rewards are able to be exchanged between players, like most of the ships #nms-legacy-ships message and anything in the form of items like the Iron Vulture modules and any of the exclusive Corvette Modules

Hey question if I do the purge do they take my ship

Ooooo but what does it take

[wet sigil]

Ship can never get taken, because it risks stranding players

[stuck berry]

Finishing the purge does not take away anything. If you choose to ||reset the simulation, all technology in your exosuit, starship and multitool will be damaged but can be repaired||

[cosmic pagoda]

Uh can't I just use dummy stuff

I do NOT wanna spend all that time

[stuck berry]

You can also choose to ||refuse to reset the simulation, which avoids all technology damage but does not transport you to a different galaxy||

[visual ocean]

is it possible to recycle multitools and if yes, where? i have a bunch of useless multitools that i dont need and i wonder if i can get something from them

also on the topic of multitools, whats the best way to unlock more slots? i dont think i ever got more than one free multitool upgrade and that one was from a tutorial mission iirc

[stuck berry]

At the Multi-Tool Decomissioning Station aboard the Space Anomaly.

[visual ocean]

thats thethys right?

[stuck berry]

Also you can get Multi-Tool Expansion Slots from many sources #nms-questions message

[visual ocean]

aight ty

[wary cedar]

do supercharge placement matters?

[cosmic pagoda]

No

The mod u put it becomes better

So it doesn't

It only upgrades the mods u want if it's in the slot

[stuck berry]

Though placing similar modules next to each other also improves them by about 6% for each module for each side it's touching similar tech

so adjacency is also somewhat important, it's not too big of a deal if the supercharged slots aren't very close to each other though as then you could supercharge multiple different things, or supercharge the same thing across all of them regardless

[wary cedar]

okay thx

[cosmic pagoda]

I regret answering

[wary cedar]

ahh?

@stuck berry something like this?

[stuck berry]

That would be ideal for supercharging one thing very much, yes

but the functional difference between that and them being spread apart isn't too large

[wary cedar]

i am going for Sentinel for damage

[stuck berry]

Well Fighters have a slightly higher average damage bonus range, but even a "bad" Hauler will rip things to shreds when upgraded/supercharged right

There really aren't any combat encounters in No Man's Sky that remotely necessitate/benefit from supercharging every weapon and min-maxing that, besides saving a few seconds every few hours

[visual ocean]

wait you can move supercharged slots?

[wet sigil]

You cannot

[wary cedar]

no

i was seeing yt for learning things out

i am looking for a good damage mt senti to be exact so needed to ask about super charge

[visual ocean]

how tf did you get 4 charged slots adjacent, thats some lucky shit

[wet sigil]

SC slot layout are either determined at spawn (the SCs they start with, which depends on the exact location it spawns in), or deterministic (from the seed of the ship/tool in question)

[wary cedar]

i have no clue man i strted few days ago

[wet sigil]

You can get lucky, but most people use coordinates shared by others

[wary cedar]

i am doing the same

[visual ocean]

damn

im too lazy to minmax

[wet sigil]

My 1x4 SC freighter was self found, my tools (cross, 2x2 and 3+1) were shared

[wary cedar]

hero2u

yt

[visual ocean]

tbf i never liked minmaxing

[wary cedar]

for damage i need it to be perfect for scanning and stuff i dont care

[echo acorn]

Is there a setting to turn off the turn rate speeding up if holding left or right?

[wary cedar]

i am gonna mix mining and scanning together
