nms-questions

[visual ocean]

yeah that's my point, i feel like minmaxing kinda sucks out the fun out of the game

[olive island]

Which are the best modifications to stack onto a multi tool and alien ship? Just so many that its honestly saturated to the point where i have no idea😵‍💫🤣

[wet sigil]

No

[wet sigil]

It depends on what you want the multi tool to do, do you prefer to have literally everything on the same tool and possibly diluting the effect of each aspect of the tool or do you prefer having different tools for different things

[wet sigil]

Depends on the player, I do some mix maxing for fun

But definitely not an end all be all goal

I just got ridiculously lucky with the 1x4 and T shaped freighter

[raw pelican]

im inna planet full of ferrite dust should i leave?

[visual ocean]

the pharaohs curse

[visual ocean]

honestly I didn't think of having different tools for different functions

i guess the absolute minimum would be two: one for mining, one for combat

maybe a third one for scanning

[wet sigil]

I use 4, mainly 3 (mining, scanning and boltcasting, 4th is neutron cannon), the 4th is only when I feel like ot

Although I go the extra mile and break the mining laser on my non-mining tools

[olive island]

Its like my third playthrough 🙂 sorry for not specifying

[vague geode]

Does that stop them (the mining laser) from being in the rotation? What method do you use to break them?

[wet sigil]

Yes. And going through the galaxy core

[raw pelican]

guide wiki site

[olive island]

Whut is boltcasting? Been like 4 years😵‍💫

[wet sigil]

The verb version of Boltcaster 😛😛

[spiral belfry]

When is the next version update coming to switch 2? I want to play online NOOOOW

?

[wet sigil]

Isn't it up to date?

#nms-commands message

Switch 2 is up to date

[wind cedar]

I don’t believe it has all the features due to hardware constraints but that might be exclusive to switch 1

[viral pasture]

Can anyone help me access the corvette building station on switch 1? It doesn't show up

[cosmic pagoda]

Heyyyyy quick question how do I go back to ecluid from essentam

[vague geode]

You can use teleporter if you have a base or space station to return to. You can also go to the anomaly and look for any base on the teleporter list that is in Euclid.

[worldly imp]

Portals on stations

[wet sigil]

Corvette doesn't exist on switch 1

[wet sigil]

Not sure about that, but switch 2 is on the same version as every other version, it used to be one version behind

[wind cedar]

So its just switch one missing features then?

[wet sigil]

AFAIK yes

[dim plaza]

how to get a mech

those big robots that evil cartoon villains use

how to get those

[visual ocean]

if you mean the minotaur, you can unlock it by doing the Trace of Metal (i think that was the name) side quest

you need to have a settlement for that though

[dim plaza]

I have 4

is that enough

[visual ocean]

have any of them been attacked by sentinels yet

[dim plaza]

yes

my korvax one

[visual ocean]

then the quest should activate

[dim plaza]

oh al

alr

thanks

[visual ocean]

check your logs, it should be there, maybe you just missed it

[viral pasture]

Thx

[wet sigil]

A trace metal isn't strictly needed for minotaur itself, but it does give a recolored sentinel hardframe skin and gives it an ai that lets it follow you around. The Geobay itself is unlocked in the space anomaly

[cosmic pagoda]

Help again I'm at the end of the purge quest and it's showing me 4 orbs which one do i pick

They are
Red
Green
Blue
Light blue

[wet sigil]

Depends on what type of galaxy you want to end up

If you want lush (more lush worlds in yellow stars), pick green, if you want harsh (more planets with harsh weather) pick red, if you want more abandoned yellow stars (more dead planets in yellow stars), pick blue, if you want another just like euclid, pick light blue

[dim plaza]

green will save your life

I know its supposed to be a choice or whatever but green will help you alot

[wary cedar]

is this shi under waterr??

[queen moon]

Hello any one knows if it's possible to fly a spaceship underwater just curious if possible

[gray shoal]

U cant

[wary cedar]

anyone?

[gray shoal]

Looks like it if u are aiming in corect difection

[wary cedar]

fk

its like 700 ish down

[wet sigil]

Doesn't look like it, probably 500u down at most

[surreal willow]

Does anyone know if theres an alternative to the old glitch to build corvettes without landing gear

[azure geyser]

Chat, how many warps can an interceptor do with 3 s class hyperdrive upgrades

One a full charge I mean

[gray shoal]

depends it they have efficiency bonus on them

Do one jump. Check how many % it goes down. Do the math

[azure geyser]

Don't all s class upgrades have the fuel efficiency bonus?

And isn't it always 100%?

[wet sigil]

Yes, though it could also depend on your adjacency bonuses, supercharging, etc etc

[unkempt stump]

When I try locating a desconence spike it takes me to same ship location only the ship is gone. Does it only find the one location?

[vague geode]

Harmonic camps are supposed to cycle through several locations.

[wet sigil]

It should always point to different locations, unless that planet is so small it came with only 1 dissonant spot

[vague geode]

@unkempt stump Try creating a restore point (jump in and out of your starship). Disable multiplayer. Log out then load the restore point and check if the ship is there.

[unkempt stump]

@vague geode ok thank you I'll try that tomorrow

[river canyon]

Just enough space for the pipes not to touch, call it 3u

[river canyon]

Count doesn't matter

[dusk coral]

uh i dont get it :C

[river canyon]

Anything over 1000 an hour starts getting massively hit by diminishing returns

Ty autocorrect

So make "nodes" that don't exceed that, use however many that might be

[wet sigil]

I have 3 lots of 3 extractors and 20 storage per gas, for a total of 60k gas every 24 hours

(that's per gas type)

[dusk coral]

ahhh thanks 🙂

[kindred parcel]

How'd you get the red glowing lines on the wings, in the pictures below? I have seen a lot of them, but never realized how to actually get them.

I guess it's an expedition reward? If so, do you know which expedition it is from?

[swift sand]

those wings are expedition 20 reward parts, the aeron set

[kindred parcel]

Thank you!

[ionic pond]

when shrinking certain items to a size small enough, it will give this error. why is that, and is there a way around it?

im building in my corvette btw

[swift sand]

yeah, this is a known issue, not sure if there's any workaround for it

[ionic pond]

so it has been reported as a bug in the past?

[swift sand]

try asking around #nms-corvette-discussion too, but yeah, afaik no workaround

[swift sand]

yep, for sure, but as usual, feel free to submit your own (the more bug reports, usually helps get it to higher priority)

[ionic pond]

may as well... what was the command to the link again?

[nimble wraith]

So dumb question, maybe. Last game I played regularly did server/game updates every Tuesday and posted fixes etc prior. Does NMS not do something like that? I read on reddit and here about "Hey did they update and fix XXX" but is it posted somewhere?

and is there ever any downtime for maintenance or updates?

[swift sand]

1. patch notes: usually here https://www.nomanssky.com/release-log/
2. the universe we play in isn't stored on a server; what's stored on the servers is stuff like discovery data and bases uploaded by players for example. so iow there's not much need to update servers
3. because of that, dont think it needs much maintenance either, and updates to it can just be done at the same time as "client" updates

(there's also the steam experimental thread, in steam discussions https://steamcommunity.com/app/275850/discussions/)

[nimble wraith]

That's fantastic. Definitely different from what I played before

[nimble wraith]

Ooo checking that out for sure

Thanks!

[ripe hearth]

Hey there can ask a question about the discord server...is it possible to have multiple roles? Just asking

[swift sand]

you mean like #roles ? sure

[ripe hearth]

Yes

[gusty vapor]

Ok boss question: sometimes when I fight an enemy, it has a really long bar (or 3) showing its hp, shields and whatever. If I go to a different battle, I end up NOT seeing 3 bars but one bar instead. Even if it’s the same kind of enemy I fought before. This mostly applies to walkers. Is this a bug, or are there different types of the same enemy and I’m just missing one or two cues to make it a “boss?”

[swift sand]

hmm, sounds like a bug yeah. walker should always have 3 bars when the fight starts basically

[gusty vapor]

I do hide a lot. Could the fact that I’m taking pot-shots from underground cause this effect?

[swift sand]

hmm, not that i'm aware of

so in practice you only need to take out 1 bar, and it basically takes you the same time to do it, yeah sounds like a bug

[gusty vapor]

Still haven’t found an S-class multitool, so I have to be really cautious when fighting these boogers.

[swift sand]

i basically stay mobile, strafe and make use of melee jetpack so it has a hard time getting a lock on

[gusty vapor]

Yes, thank you wolfenstein 3D for teaching me the importance of strafing🤣

I’ve only just started paralyzing them, it IS a very handy trick also. That is when I have enough ammo.

[swift sand]

yeah para mortar is OP; dont forget to install voltaic amplifier as well for +21% damage vs stunned entities

[gusty vapor]

!!!

That’s sneaky!

Thank you, bk201 I’ll try to keep that in mind.

[swift sand]

(basalt: if you cant find a planet with it, refine phosphorus/pyrite+mag ferrite)

[gusty vapor]

That’s an ingredient I don’t think I have yet! I’ll start refining!

[latent glacier]

Been trying to hunt ships but lately my game been giving me mirrors instead of locators on dissonance planets and echo locators I do have don't work

[stuck berry]

You can only use Echo Locators when in the same system as an inhabited dissonant world. Dissonant worlds that have Gold or Rusted Metal listed, or are in an Uncharted System count as uninhabited, and don't have Harmonic Camps and Sentinel Interceptor crash sites

[brave moat]

I am on the starbirth questline rn, and I believe my void egg should have turned to awakened void egg by now because I have the mature heart, but it has not. How can I fix this?

[stuck berry]

The game will forcibly give you the "new egg" if you somehow lack it through either a space encounter or it just appearing in your inventory

[brave moat]

Ohh, I need to get the space encounter, ok

that hasn't happend in a while. I pulsed around places, but haven't gotten anything.

[stuck berry]

Continue following what the mission tells you to do in the lower right. What does it say?

[brave moat]

just wait for contact

last time the contact happend instantly, but now it is not

[stuck berry]

Try going to an uncharted system, then saving and reloading I think

[brave moat]

got it

[wary cedar]

the pruge atlas sequence i have 2/16 how to do it?

[analog scroll]

Keep warping

<:info:850810445577453658> No Man's Sky - The Purge Story Mission

📖 Did you know? The Purge is the final story mission in the Artemis Path

⚠️ To complete The Purge, you do not need to travel through the Core

The tooltip for The Purge asks you to progress toward the core, not to reach it

It should be noted ||that even that is not necessary||

Pick a direction and warp. 16 warps in total are required for The Purge. Be sure you pause for a few seconds in each new system.

Now is a great time to complete The Atlas Path as well. The warps will count for both missions.

By the 16th warp, ||you will want to either store installed tech from your suit, ship, and multi tool or swap to an unused ship and tool or find outlaw systems along the way and purchase Repair Kits. A Repair Kit will be necessary if you complete this mission in a Sentinel Interceptor||

[wary cedar]

by end i will get all 16 portal glyphs right?

[dim plaza]

how do I find wild wheat

[gray shoal]

Use mt visor ,look for plant icons

[sick vigil]

I just heard that the Switch 1 version of No Man Sky is different from other platforms. Does anyone know what was the last update it received?

[dim plaza]

are they found on paradise planets

[sick vigil]

All planets except dead.

[dim plaza]

where do they appear the most

[sick vigil]

It's not confirmed, but I heard rumors that they are more easy to find on Lush and Exotic planets. It was anecdotal tho.

[wet sigil]

They are at least missing corvettes and everything associated with them, and the last, maybe dozen or so updates

[dim plaza]

oh and one final question about this, can you plant them after harvesting them

cuz its boring as hell going around looking for these everytime I wanna bake a cake

[sick vigil]

Alright, so right before Corvettes. Thanks for the info! I was considering getting this version because recent updates have been... A bit too buggy for my liking. Like, "can't run on my PS4 pro without crashing in 3 seconds"-buggy.

[swift sand]

you mean wild yeast?

[dim plaza]

whatever is nessecary for extra fluffy cream cake

[analog scroll]

Clearing your console cache might help with that

[dim plaza]

I saw the tutorial and

[analog scroll]

https://app.nmsassistant.com/catalogue-item/cook162

[dim plaza]

I can do it on a pirate system if I keep buying larval cores for eggs

and other stuff

but the tutorial guy said to look for a specific type of plant

[wet sigil]

For flour, you can just use frost crystals, process it twice to get flour

[dim plaza]

oh woe

[wet sigil]

wheat is very inefficient since you can't grow them

[swift sand]

ref flour can be processed from glass grains, which - what frostburn said

[analog scroll]

You can get refined flour from frost crystals

[wet sigil]

AND, frostwort can be grown to give frost crystals, and they have a grow time of 1h

[dim plaza]

thats good

I can mass produce it

[wet sigil]

mhm

[analog scroll]

Cactus nectar (needed for the processed sugar) can be grown using cactus flesh, the only thing you'd need to find for this is 2 creature eggs per cake

[dim plaza]

the issue is tho I need to be in a pirate system

[analog scroll]

And some milk

[dim plaza]

for larval core

[analog scroll]

You don't need the larval core, the creature egg is a substitute

[dim plaza]

is the egg obtained from inducing it

cuz i remember an option being there

[analog scroll]

https://app.nmsassistant.com/catalogue-item/cook87 There are 4 recipes for delicate meringue

[analog scroll]

Feed it, harvest eggs

[swift sand]

can use livestock unit+auto feeder for automating that process - visor a creature to see what it will drop

[dim plaza]

okey dokey

surely my homeplanet will have both milk and egg animals right?

[swift sand]

possibly, you'd have to check

[dusk coral]

can i freely move the base computer? will nothing bad happen?

[dim plaza]

yeah ill do that

[simple yoke]

Does having all organic frigates go on missions affect the chances of you getting salvage frigate muodules?

[analog scroll]

You can, know that doing so will not alter the base build area

[swift sand]

that said, make sure you've got at least 1 free exosuit cargo slot before moving it, and dont back out of the build menu after starting the move - and you should be fine

[dusk coral]

thats perfect.

[analog scroll]

They're random from all frigate missions, you don't need organic frigates for them at all

[simple yoke]

No I meant if I don’t use the ship frigates does it mean I get less salvaged frigate modules (trying to see if I need to keep some)

[dusk coral]

so its still will be 300x300 without any changes? just the computer will move, right?

[swift sand]

right

[dusk coral]

thanks @analog scroll @swift sand

[analog scroll]

The 300U radius is based on the original claim spot and does not move, though you can expand it to 1000U

[wary cedar]

which to pick

[analog scroll]

Your choice

[wary cedar]

or it doesnt matter

[dim plaza]

personally id go with green

because it has better planets

[wary cedar]

i wanna stay in eculid

[swift sand]

see <#nms-commands message>

[dim plaza]

but your choice

[dim plaza]

you can get back by warping (place a portal in whatever galaxy you go to)

[analog scroll]

Galaxy type only impacts biome spawn chances around yellow stars

[dim plaza]

yah but still

generally better

[wary cedar]

i am confused sry 😭

[swift sand]

you'd want to reload restore point at this time, go through the marked portal again, and refuse. sounds like you might not have packaged exosuit tech and modules and switched to a ship and MT you dont care about either, so it might be best to reload

did you read the link i posted?

[wary cedar]

i did still confused sry

[swift sand]

about what exactly?

[dusk coral]

@swift sand is this good enough?

[wary cedar]

will it reset my whole game like all my blueprints which i have unlocked?

[dim plaza]

no

[swift sand]

there's no progress loss

[dim plaza]

it will only damage your equipment and can be repaired

[wary cedar]

i see

[swift sand]

sounds like you might not have packaged exosuit tech and modules and switched to a ship and MT you dont care about either

doing this would prevent that damage

but sounds like you didnt know

[wet sigil]

The extraction rate is perfect, though you are free to put more storage onto that if you want to check less frequently

[swift sand]

in short, you cant change ships where you are

[wary cedar]

i dont have anything much just the basic things

so i dont mind

[swift sand]

then you can easily go ahead

pick any orb you'd like

many go with green

as mentioned in the linked post, there's a featured base in the anomaly that's in the most popular lush galaxy, same one you'll get taken to if you pick green (since you're doing this in euclid)

[vale wing]

Anybody willing to help out a new pc player?

[wary cedar]

will okay thxx

[swift sand]

what do you need help with? if it's in game help, try asking around #nms-lfg-or-trades , but remember that quests can run into bugs when in a gorup

[dusk coral]

so 5 hours till the storage will be full>

[vale wing]

In game okay perfect thank you!

[wary cedar]

did thankyou!!!

[wet sigil]

Yep. I usually put enough storage so they are full every 24 hours

[visual ocean]

is laylaps used for anything after completing the trace of metal quest?

[wet sigil]

Nope, just a companion that doesn't use up your actual companion space

[visual ocean]

feels like a wasted opportunity ngl

[wary cedar]

@swift sand i spawned in paradise planet is it common?

[visual ocean]

at least hes gonna be somewhat useful for me because i have a signal booster laylaps mod

[swift sand]

in a lush type galaxy, yeah

[wet sigil]

If you picked a lush galaxy, you may end up on a paradise more often than usual

[wary cedar]

[latent glacier]

That makes sense to me now wish I wouldn't have disgarded the 4 echo locators I had thinking they were bugged

[hollow berry]

What are 2 best weapons for the multitool?

[hollow berry]

Ah thanks that's explained very well 😂

[zinc cloak]

I also love the geology cannon. useful in fighting as well as useful for destroying salvageable scrap below the depth limit. just make sure you're not too close.

[dull ibex]

Was looking to see what is best but i see it's 10x6 and my S ships have 10x3 or can i scroll down with the adding slots?

[zinc cloak]

Yes all ships have a max of 60 tech slots

[dull ibex]

great thanks!

[swift sand]

elaborating a bit, exosuit and all s-class gear can be upgraded to 60 tech

[dull ibex]

and it gets sooo expensive i imagine haha

[swift sand]

would recommend typing !faq-inventory in #nms-commands for storage aug item drop sources

[zinc cloak]

for ships the price maxes out at 75 mil. thats why you collect storage augmentations.

[hollow berry]

Which exact quests i need to unlock atlantid multitools?

I can't find the names online

@hollow berry see post below
-# to view info below, enable embeds

<:info:850810445577453658> How to unlock Autophage race, Staff and Atlantid multitool types

Complete secondary quest They Who Returned

Requirements

a) New Beginnings primary mission on Log tab (type !faq-artemispath in #nms-commands for more info)
b) Lift the seal at a harmonic camp (type !faq-interceptor in #nms-commands, follow "Harmonic Camp" for more info)

Once both of the above requirements are met, simply warp out of your current system and wait in space for a quest transmission that should arrive shortly after.

Note that quest willl not trigger on the next warp if you happen to warp into a freighter rescue battle event. Type !faq-echoes in #nms-commands channel for more info.

Once quest is complete, to unlock Autophage race in Appearance Modifier, player needs to acquire 1 autophage helmet customization (hoods wont work).

[hollow berry]

Ah thanks

Which exotic is this?? Modded?

[swift sand]

that's either starborn runner or starborn phoenix

basically the same ship, phoenix has a different skin

[hollow berry]

Ohh

[swift sand]

runner is an exp12 reward, while phoenix was a steam only time limited free dlc

[wary cedar]

@swift sand is there any way to remove space station for from space station tab too many i have visited 😅

[swift sand]

nope, sorry, but you can chose to use the favorites function, that might help when trying to find ones you actually need more often

[wary cedar]

i see thx is there are many good mt in ess

Eissentam*

S class

[swift sand]

yeah, for sure - class of the cabinet is influenced by system economy tier, so for example t3 eco has a 2% chance for s-class. remember that 1) class of the tool is fixed per cabinet 2) there can be multiple multitool types in the same system, so if you find a high class cabinet you can save+reload on each of the planets in the system, rechecking said cabinet after each reload to see different tools 3) it's often faster to find a tool you like, and then farm the nanites to class upgrade it to s-class

[wary cedar]

i see i will look into it

and how to do automatic farms ?

using mineral and gas extractors?

@vague geode?

[scenic raven]

unless its a derilect one that you used a beacon to find i'm pretty sure thats just one you can't interact with

[swift sand]

cant land on broken up ones, type !faq-derelicts in #nms-commands for more infos, talk to scrap dealer npc/buy coordinates from him to run a DF mission

[atomic fractal]

@stuck berry you have some kind of image showing the best thruster order? You always have an image for everything lol

[stuck berry]

Thruster order?

Do you mean for corvettes?

Not really, as their differences aren't important enough imo

[atomic fractal]

Yes. When building a Corvette the stats will change depending on the order of what yoy choose

[atomic fractal]

That's what I wanted to talk. I wanted to make something with a lot of maneuverability but I don't want those absurdly big thrusters

[stuck berry]

Then use what you wanna use

I do, and I still have like 4,000 maneuverability on my ships

[atomic fractal]

But the stats?

[atomic fractal]

Just with module upgrades?

[stuck berry]

with only two pulse engine things supercharged

[stuck berry]

No, plus everything else

[atomic fractal]

Isn't it recommended to put the main piece in the super charge?

[stuck berry]

No, it's actually recommended against doing so for everything except weapons and a few specific cases of sentinel ship core tech (and the opposite is true for only the Neutron Cannon)

supercharging core pulse engine is one of the only sources of increasing pulse speed though

so that's why I do it

[atomic fractal]

Oh so that's specific for weapons

[atomic fractal]

You only used pirate upgrade modules?

[stuck berry]

Yes, but I grinded for higher stats than S, which took far too long to be worth it tbh

their maximums really aren't that much higher than S

but their minimums are 0, and they're weighted towards the lower end

[winter phoenix]

You can see the potential max rolls in the catalogue menu in game. It varies from system to system but you can expect about a 20% improvement if you roll enough of them

[atomic fractal]

So the 3 A are blueprint tech?

I'm still learning to upgrade stuff in this game. Damn when I start upgrading my multi-tool it'll be such a shitty show...

@stuck berry but the thruster's maneuverability differ from 3-15%, won't this make a good difference?

[winter phoenix]

There are a few systems where it probably is worth the effort to go x-class, shields are one of them. You can get something like 38% vs 30% there. The payoff for the effort is more dubious for systems with multiple stats

[stuck berry]

Not really tbh, the difference between 4,000 and 4,250 is not large/even really noticeable

[meager coyote]

So, i dont have that many hours in the game, but i remember having a quest that required me to do a bunch of stuff in an Outlaw system. Now, when i try to find another Outlaw system through the galaxy map, i cant, am i just not in the right place in the map or what?

[stuck berry]

Individual, small stat increases aren't as valuable on corvettes due to their very low bonuses (besides Shield Strength)

[stuck berry]

You should easily be able to locate one, given you have either an Economy Scanner or Conflict Scanner installed to see their unique economy and conflict tier

[meager coyote]

how do i get either one/both of those scanners?

[analog scroll]

The Anomaly, and the Economy Scanner is by far the easier to install

[stuck berry]

By unlocking their blueprint at Iteration: Hyperion aboard the Space Anomaly

[meager coyote]

heheh thank you

[atomic fractal]

You didn't only super charge the pulse engine upgrade modules, damn there's lot of super charge

[visual ocean]

does scrapping multitools give the multitool slot upgrades on top of the units or is it an alternative to units

[analog scroll]

In addition, and scrapping anything does not give units directly. It gives items to sell for units.

Slot items may be part of that unit value

[visual ocean]

ah

[latent glacier]

I'm trying to find some Vader style black and red sentinel interceptors from minimalist to beefy the more folding parts the better I have portal chords for a few but only have the jellyfish symbol

[analog scroll]

Work on the story to unlock the rest

[winter phoenix]

Following the Artemis path will quickly unlock every single glyph for you

[brave moat]

I found a system (or is it just me?) that rare space anomalies occur every single time I activae pulse drive. Is this a thing? Like is my game OK? I get ancient portals and destroyed freighters left and right!

[winter phoenix]

Never heard of anything like it, that's cool!

[brave moat]

I can give coordinates. Maybe it's just me.

[winter phoenix]

Though the most likely explanation is that you installed a mod and forgot about it somehow

[brave moat]

I want to check whether this is a future

[brave moat]

nop. never modded. its vanilla

[winter phoenix]

Sure, I can go check out the system, worth a try!

[brave moat]

hold on a minute... I am getting the cords

[winter phoenix]

You can see them in the corner while in photo mode

[analog scroll]

Be sure to include galaxy

[brave moat]

there we go

[brave moat]

got it

[winter phoenix]

On my way!

No sign of any anomalies though. Apparently it's just you?

[brave moat]

what

[dusk coral]

do system stars matter for mineral survey, gas survey, and electric survey?

like 3 star more chance for S ?

[winter phoenix]

There's definitely something going on, this is way more anomalies than you'd expect. They're supposed to be super rare without a scanner!

[analog scroll]

With diminishing returns, you don't need S class deposits at all

[dusk coral]

i know, just curious

[analog scroll]

If you pulse long enough, you'll get them no matter what

[winter phoenix]

Yeah, but I've gotten three already since I started checking

Which... means one every 3 minutes or so? Not enough data to say for sure

[dusty pasture]

How do I get stuff to stop spawning inside of my base

[astral dome]

I am leaving coordinates to a sentinel ship if I leave my saved beacon at the location would anybody be able to see the symbol on the planet or in space ?

[analog scroll]

Altered terrain regenerates. Build above

[dusty pasture]

Ok

[brave moat]

yeah, pretty weird

[vague geode]

You can sometimes do small terrain edits that "stick" but it's a crapshoot. Doesn't hurt to try and flatten it down a small bit to see if it saves or not.

[dusty pasture]

Ok, it can't get worse I guess

[brave moat]

how is it?

[winter phoenix]

None so far, but that's inconclusive. Random being random?

[dusty pasture]

Yes, I think save beacons are visible for everyone

[stuck berry]

Incorrect, they're only visible to others when inside of an uploaded base

Communications Stations' markers however are visible to all players

[brave moat]

How frequent are deep space anomolies?

[atomic fractal]

So we can't change the actual color of the booster just the trail that it makes?

[dusty pasture]

Is there anything I can do about settlement buildings inside of terrain

[atomic fractal]

@stuck berry I only could get 2k maneuverability

3 S class upgrades

3 of them supercharged

[dim plaza]

thats weird, they usually flatten the area they spawn in, leave and rejoin or mine it if its still inside of terrain after rejoining

[stuck berry]

You're lacking Medusa Reactors

[atomic fractal]

Ok

[stuck berry]

You can have up to two count as tech, unless you remove the cockpit before adding them in which you could add three and have them count as tech

[dusty pasture]

I can't edit terain inside a settlement

[dim plaza]

strange

then leave and rejoin

if its not fixed then leave the current planet and find another one on another planet

[dusty pasture]

I have already claimed the settlement

It is my first one

[dim plaza]

then retire as overseer

[dusty pasture]

Dosent that erase the settlement upgrades?

[dim plaza]

if its stuck in terrain then why did you upgrade it

oh well if it doesnt get fixed somehow you gotta leave

cuz

its not fun for half of the settlement being inside of dirt and rocks

[dusty pasture]

It is not stuck in the ground yet but in case buildings spawn

inside

[dim plaza]

well then do whatever you want cuz im not educated enough other than saying "its a glitch"

but I dont recommend spending too much on it

cuz if you cant access the terminal upgrades for buildings

it will give the settlement debt

it needs to be upgraded to give more than its upkeep cost

[atomic fractal]

Didn't change much

[dim plaza]

haha

[winter phoenix]

Here's an example of a pretty good layout, you're missing a lot

[dim plaza]

[winter phoenix]

For one, you seem to be completely missing all the craftable upgrades. There's a total of 11 pulse engine upgrades, though 1 of them may be hard to get, since you need access to the Starborn runner ship. Also, the cockpit shares adjacency with the medusa reactors, you could make use of that.

[dim plaza]

thats not as big of a deal

you could theoretically run it but its a gamble

if a building spawns there

youre cooked

[dusty pasture]

Yes, i will use it until that happens

[cold storm]

So I noticed that the upgrade screen scrolling in the anomaly is fixed except the exocraft guy. The recipes on the furthest side on the screen are cutoff and is barely visible and hovering over it won't work.

[atomic fractal]

I got all I could get in the Anomaly

[winter phoenix]

All those icons look so similar, I'm not sure which ones you have. Are you saying the three you have are the craftables? In that case you're missing the main upgrades which is even worse. Buy them at space stations, they're how you get most of the stats. Same upgrades as regular ships

[atomic fractal]

No, I have the 3 craftable and the 3 upgrade modules

[stuck berry]

They have everything

except for the Photonix Core, which isn't really obtainable without mods/save editing on PC currently

some things can be switched around to provide more maneuverability possibly, giving more adjacency to the things that give maneueverability

[atomic fractal]

What's this? A friend of mine gave me the Aegis parts today. Although I didn't get a different core

[upper thunder]

what do i do with this?

[stuck berry]

The Photonix Core is a blueprint tech only given to players who pre-ordered the PS4 version of the game in 2016, but it also came on the Starborn Runner

[analog scroll]

Admire it, then move on

[upper thunder]

that all?

[stuck berry]

It is fully unrelated to corvette modules, and cannot be transferred to other players

[upper thunder]

damn

<:AtlasNmscord:1269532093076078658> **Derelict Freighter Events**

**Why can't I land on this derelict? **
There are two different derelict freighter events in the game.

Not Boardable, if the derelict...
• is broken into large pieces, like the lower freighter model in this image
• has no landing pads by the bridge
• has shootable cargo pods nearby (it may not)

If there are nearby cargo pods, you may shoot them for materials, which it will trigger pirates.

Boardable, if the derelict...
• is not broken into major pieces
• has four landing pads located by the bridge
• looks like the top freighter model in this image (colors vary)

You may find it just by pulsing on rare occasions. But if you activate an Emergency Signal Scanner (ESS) in your inventory, you'll ensure one spawns. Once it's detected (see example), exit pulse, land and loot. Be ready with life support recharges, cold protection recharges, and ammo for your weapon of choice.

How do some people get the super charged slots together? I bet it matters a lot

[upper thunder]

oh

[stuck berry]

They find them together like that already

It's random, per the design of the ship, except for sentinel ships and corvettes which have quirks that make it chaotic

[winter phoenix]

Ah, I was confused by the double screenshot. You know you can just expand the inventory so everything is visible at once?

[atomic fractal]

I don't actually

[atomic fractal]

So basically all I can do for now is keep adding slots and upgrading the class until I find more slots together?

[stiff dove]

hi guyz i seach for "natural burial site" over 24 in-game hours now and i don't find at least one for that treasure can only please help menatural

[gray shoal]

That one is from space encounter

[stuck berry]

The only way to get the one for that now is from a space encounter, "Grave of the Ocean King"

[winter phoenix]

The slots are decided when you create the corvette. They are revealed as you upgrade the class. You'll never get more than 4 slots

[gray shoal]

Missing Plant sample in the middle in unobtainable for catalouge even if u get the item

[stiff dove]

so natural burial site don't exist anymore?

[stuck berry]

They do exist still, but give something else now

See https://www.nomanssky.com/relics-update/

[gray shoal]

Wait

Right.

So how we get now burial bone treasures ?

Ruins?

I forgor

[signal cedar]

if I understand game files correctly, this category of bones comes from:

• derelict freighter chests / containers
• harvested gift from animal companions

there's a 3rd reward object that is supposed to give these bones but I dont see it being used / referenced anywhere

no, pirate mission boards have clearly defined reward list, that's not it

[atomic fractal]

It's just that I don't have the 4 yet

I got the glitch which I can't see the stats of my Corvette. Any ideas to fix it?

[winter phoenix]

Because you haven't upgraded the ship to S-class yet. It's guaranteed to be in one of the top 3 rows so you don't need more slots to see it.

[gray shoal]

Settlement gift?

[summer hamlet]

hello im trying to inv my friend to my world we both play pc through the xbox game pass i cant find him in my friend list and when i try to inv him from the xbox friend he get connecting and nothing happend after how can i fix this

[swift sand]

pause, unpause, then reopen inventory

[swift sand]

• have you added each other's nms friend codes and then restarted games completely?

[summer hamlet]

yes

[swift sand]

• can both of you see other players in the anomaly?

[vale harbor]

How do I get a dinosaur

[swift sand]

you mean, like diplos?

[vale harbor]

Yeah

[north depot]

this is a bug? i was trying to board the freighter 😭

[swift sand]

well, either keep hunting for them on your own, or find coordinates posted by other players e.g. search #explorers-archive , for posts from untoldstory lol

[summer hamlet]

i dont know what is anomaly i haven't play the game yet i jus t creat the world and try to inv him

[swift sand]

nah, that's just how it is with corvettes; dock, exit seat, then goto hatch and use the beam down button

[north depot]

ohh

[swift sand]

no point trying to invite them. load your save, pause, goto options, network, what's can join my group set to?

[swift sand]

@summer hamlet btw, not a world, a character: we all play in the same universe

[summer hamlet]

oh ok

[swift sand]

@summer hamlet when friend goes to main menu now, join friends option, do they see your session?

[summer hamlet]

no

[swift sand]

well, what if you try the other way around. both restart games completely again, then they load their save via "play game" option, and you wait for a bit. once they loaded in, click join friends and wait a few seconds: do you see their session? (the space anomaly is a location in game that acts as multiplayer hub, and can see random players there, if all is working well; if not, that probably spells whoever cant see other players there is the cause of the issue)

shouldn't be required, no

[lone lark]

i looked it up , alot of people have the same issue on xbox app from pc

[lone lark]

so we just have to play the game until we go the to the space anomaly and just meet each other right ?

[analog scroll]

It is recommended that you have the Anomaly unlocked before trying to do multiplayer. It is a location that can be used to help fix some of the bugs that will pop up if you do the story in a group

[swift sand]

@summer hamlet @lone lark

1. if any of you has an issue, then double checking the anomaly for other players will tell us that
2. if both of you can see other players in there, then grouping up via main menu should work just fine too, but yes, from there it would be easier to get to the same system (e.g. featured base in the teleporter)

[lone lark]

Ok , Thank you guys for the help

[swift sand]

@summer hamlet @lone lark shouldnt take long to get to the anomaly; anything else let us know

[summer hamlet]

okay ty

[stiff dove]

this is 5th diferent galaxy that drop nothing

(did you mean star system?) yeah, sometimes it doesnt drop anything, but it can drop it

[stiff dove]

yea system

[grave brook]

Uhm.. guys how to summon the car when there is no pad on that planet? I mean using my ship to wandering around the planet is annoying

you could just build another geobay on that planet (and then delete it to get mats back) (see this post for more infos <#nms-commands message>)

[brazen flame]

how can i find a planets portal

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.

What’s the best way to farm s class pirate freighter

[atomic fractal]

What's this? I've never seen this

[stiff dove]

i search for all treasures in-game but 1 is impossible to get

[analog scroll]

Own a freighter, trigger the rescue event in an outlaw system, reload/rewarp until you get the class you want

[gentle prawn]

So could I reload last restore point and warp there do the battle till I get a s class

[dim plaza]

how do I get an annoying animal over at my product farm

on my kitchen planet theres this uh, weirdo that lays creature eggs

ive tamed a few of these weirdos and they just won't follow me or creature pellets I lay down

[brazen flame]

what does mark of the denier do

[dim plaza]

(i didnt adopt them as companions just tamed them to some extent)

[patent osprey]

My game keeps getting locked to 15 fps, multiple times per hour, previously someone helped me find a fix which is to delete the graphics settings file and restart the game with my primary monitor unplugged from my laptop which stopped it for a while, this works but doing it often is not very sustainable and it feels like its happening more and more often

[atomic fractal]

Is it my impression or pirate systems are full of solar ships?

[stuck berry]

They are indeed

[atomic fractal]

What's their speciality? What exactly do they recharge? Landing gear?

[stuck berry]

Landing gear, yes, they also have very high pulse fuel efficiency

[atomic fractal]

Are they weak at anything?

[swift sand]

did you already try to clean install both the integrated and the dedicated gpu drivers to their latest versions? usually, to find the latest integrated, we're better of searching for the cpu model itself (in the respective manufacturer website, drivers and support section usually)

[swift sand]

nah, their only "weakness" is the fact that they have a low starting inventory size imo

[patent osprey]

yes, i think it was you who sent me the links for gpu, integ. gpu and cpu drivers

[swift sand]

maybe there's some kind of 3rd party app that's running in the background/getting picked up by the game that's causing that (i assume) huge tank in fps. have you perhaps tried to play test with windows running under a clean boot (https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/how-to-perform-a-clean-boot-in-windows-da2f9573-6eec-00ad-2f8a-a97a1807f3dd) state? we've seen things like RTSS causing issues with this kind of stuff sometimes.

[patent osprey]

i will give this a go

[atomic fractal]

Seems okay. So I suppose using the rechargeable landing gear upgrade on it would be wasting a tech slot?

[swift sand]

yeah, no point installing it on them

it wouldnt stack or anything

[atomic fractal]

@swift sand also what's the functionality of stacking the different types of turbine? Indium, emeril and the other one

[swift sand]

just get a bit more warp range when placed in adjacent slots

[atomic fractal]

I have it in my ship but the hyper pulse distance is laughable

[atomic fractal]

I suppose it isn't worth the amount of slots

[swift sand]

especially not if you're tech slot pressured atm

[atomic fractal]

So better to just have indium and hyperpulse S upgrades I suppose

[swift sand]

yep, that'll do just fine (and when you get atlantid drive from a later on quest, replace indium drive with it)

[atomic fractal]

Is there a way to give expedition parts to other save of mine? I got them from a friend, I didn't do any expedition

[swift sand]

you'd have to transfer them to a friend, rejoin friend using diff save, friend transfers parts back

[ionic cipher]

hey guys I'm just wondering if there's a way to get the Aeron Corvette recipes without doing the expedition. I saw that there was a replay of it in Jan but I missed that

[swift sand]

basically, to unlock bps, you'd have to save edit, modding, replaying expeditions offline, so basically pc only - see pinned posts in #nms-modding

[ionic cipher]

alternatively, when will the next re run be/ how often do they typically re run

[swift sand]

they normally only rerun the expeditions they release in a year, at the end of the same year again - exp20 released earlier 2025, got rerun late 2025, and the same went for the other ones released that year

so iow, we dont know when exp20 is getting rerun again

[ionic cipher]

yeah right, damn. good thing i’m on pc ill check out the modding channel, appreciate the help

[atomic fractal]

Why do people like exotics so much? Imo they look so bad

[swift sand]

some people like how they look like, plus they're well balanced ships in terms of stats and are always s-class

[patent osprey]

Do boosts to jetpack tanks from multiple upgrades stack? I have 190,140,103, and 25

[swift sand]

yep, they do - remember that you can even make use of supercharged slots to boost a good upgrade module (or modules) even more (by 1.25x)

exosuit will have access to 3 supercharged slots, just need to add more tech slots till they're all revealed

[patent osprey]

Im playing with all slots unlocked rn, theyre nice

Also, the wiki doesnt know, is there numbers for how big of a boost synergistic modules gret?

[swift sand]

you mean the formula for the adjacency bonus calculation? should be in the wiki somewhere

[patent osprey]

The ones i want have a ? In the table

[swift sand]

oh, you mean that you want to know the sentinel module stat ranges?

[patent osprey]

Jetpack things, the whole table for exosuit is blanks, is it the miraheze wiki i should be looking at?

[swift sand]

the whole table for exosuit is blanks
can you show us where you're seeing this?

[patent osprey]

Sorry for picture, with the clean boot i dont have anything running

I hope its legible

[swift sand]

yeah, guess that table isnt complete yet. check https://nomanssky.fandom.com/wiki/Exosuit#Exosuit_Technology_Blueprints, https://nomanssky.fandom.com/wiki/Exosuit#Exosuit_Technology_Upgrades, https://nomanssky.fandom.com/wiki/Forbidden_Exosuit_Module

@patent osprey also, looking further down at that page, it seems that it's compiling a list of adjacency bonuses depending on what's adjacent to what (probably using the formula for adjacency bonus calculation (<#nms-questions message>)), and also the stats after supercharged. not aware of an equivalent page on fandom for example. there's also this google docs sheet that was compiled by xaine (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1dbZNnBq8L2Xj8CxqNpfFQ7lpxP1cc6vi-CcvUPo6tvo/edit?gid=0#gid=0), that shows tech strength ratings

[patent osprey]

How can i get cyllindrical rooms to snap to each other? I can only seem to be able to stack them vertically

[swift sand]

yeah, they only stack vertically; horizontally you'd need to use like a corridor to connect two

[patent osprey]

Oh i see thanks

[patent osprey]

Can i get rid of the corner "pillars" between rooms on freighter?

[swift sand]

hmm i guess you could unlock expansion rooms and use those to create open areas inside the freighter

[woeful isle]

What’s the sky limit I want to build a skyscraper

[swift sand]

it's quite high, but the truth is that it depends from planet to planet, and even from area to area on the same planet (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SsYwtKLGG6M, up to 2:54)

that said, remember that we can expand default build bubble of a base computer up to 1000u or so

[woeful isle]

Thanks 🙂

[brave moat]

how do I get my robotic companion? Like the one from the anomaly? I've already bought the blueprint, but I don't see anywhere to construct it in my inventory.

[swift sand]

it's a base part decoration

so through your build menu

[languid briar]

So in the Atlas thing it asked if I want to do a diagnostic or wipe it so I'm just wondering what would happen if I chose to wipe the thing

[swift sand]

that choice is just flavor text, basically leads to the same outcome

[patent osprey]

Can i find a station with mercenary guild or is it just luck?

[mossy meteor]

Is there any reason my green interceptor became black when I rejoined?

[stuck berry]

No, that shouldn't ever happen

try reloading again possibly, or maybe it's initial model was incorrect unless you've had it for more than the current instance

[stuck berry]

Random, per region though #nms-questions message

so all systems in the same region will have the same guild

Nah it was only one instance, so maybe the green was wrong

is it normal to not find anyone in the anomaly ?

[floral arch]

are you marked as offline

how can i know

[stuck berry]

hey Grouch i don't have that folder

I don't know anything about Linux unfortunately

there are people here who do though, you could post in https://discord.com/channels/146101654981312513/964865106334875698 and one may reply there

how can i fix this ?

ok thank you

[stuck berry]

As I said, see this post #nms-questions message

it contains troubleshooting steps

[summer hamlet]

yeah the issue is egypt

is there anyway i can fix it like vpn or smt ?

[stuck berry]

Yes, a VPN can be used I think

aparrently proton works

[raw pelican]

any youtube chanel that count NMS stories? like stuff players discovered and got viral

like the spirited rescue

[summer hamlet]

should i keep it open after i joine the game ?

it works btw really ty for that

[stuck berry]

Most likely yes, but not sure

[lethal epoch]

I made a low orbit base with bio domes and each time I leave to go do something and come back every decoration I put inside the dome are gone

Can Paradise Planets/Moons be dissonant, or are they mututally exclusive?

[unreal cloud]

they can be

[subtle stag]

i think any biome can be dissodant?

[stuck berry]

Yes, except Gas Giant

[subtle stag]

why

[stoic vale]

I have just never found one, and I have found a LOT of Paradice planets...

[stuck berry]

Paradise Planet indicates a lush world that has low sentinel activity and no storms, so not really outside of difficulty option jank that messes with sentinel presence. Lush worlds can have corrupted sentinels but no storms, "no storms" is not exclusive to lush worlds and nearly all biomes can have that

[azure geyser]

What's the max damage a phase beam can do in a corvette? Assuming a square supercharged slot and no save editing for more supercharge slots

Isn't the beam the most powerful thing on a Corvette when stacked?

[stuck berry]

Idk, probably stays around 20 something k, DPS reading does not increase due to the corvette phase beam bug

[stuck berry]

Of course, but the game's UI doesn't know that, as it's not intended.

[atomic fractal]

So I can only have a maximum of 6? Wtf

[stuck berry]

No, you can have up to 12 active ships

[atomic fractal]

Nvm I remembered the limit is 12

[stuck berry]

Correct

[atomic fractal]

Yeah

[azure geyser]

Hmmm, I have 7 phase beam arrays on my corvette and and only 1 supercharge on the main phase beam weapon and with weapon power diverted I do 25k per ticks

[atomic fractal]

Damn I'll have to unmake some Corvette of mine

[azure geyser]

Or if you don't want the parts back, you can just trade it to a random npc

You lose a lot of value, but it's faster I guess

[lethal epoch]

I made a low orbit base with bio domes and each time I leave to go do something and come back every decoration I put inside the dome are gone what do I do?

[stuck berry]

Rebuild it lower

Or report the bug to Hello Games and hope that they resolve it

!hg

[stuck berry]

This consistently occurs with base objects built too high up in the atmosphere

[azure geyser]

Grouch how long would it take to find a super earth like paradise planet in say teyaypilny?

If I'm like

Really really picky

I feel like the amount of people who call teyaypilny home is way way less than eissentam or even isdoraijung

[stoic vale]

Not very long really as it is a Lush galaxy. But depends how picky you are

[azure geyser]

Imagine very picky

Like there has to be a mixed diversity of elevation from plains to mountains, blue sky, maybe a big nearby planey

[winter wolf]

this is an impossible question to answer. go explore

[azure geyser]

Green grass but not bluish green

[stoic vale]

Then less than it would in most galaxies as Paradise planets are more common, but its all luck based

[azure geyser]

Hmmm what's the best way to search for such a planet?

[stoic vale]

Freighter, with Scanner

[azure geyser]

Like how do I pick which systems to go to in the galaxy map

[azure geyser]

I know that

But like the galaxy map is so huge and how do I select which system to go to?

[winter wolf]

by exploring. that's the game

[stoic vale]

Yellow Systems, lots of planets. Not a lot more you can do

[atomic fractal]

It doesn't take much to take one apart lol

[azure geyser]

No... I mean like do I travel in a straight line, or a zigzag pattern or randomly? Or visit every system?

[scenic raven]

dont forget to check stellar class as well when searching if you want to find a paradise planet, also depending on what galaxy your in affects spawn rates as well

[stoic vale]

Makes no difference.

[winter wolf]

how you explore is entirely up to you. it will not impact your ability to look at planets

[azure geyser]

I'll be in teyaypilny, and yea ik that yellow systems have the highest chance of paradise planeys

[atomic fractal]

So in the galaxy map when going for the traces to the center of galaxy it just shows a trace to the first 4 or 5 planets, but my Freighter can go much further than that what do I do?

[azure geyser]

Hmmm.... I'm only concerned that since it's impossible to visit every single system, I might miss a system with the perfect planet I'm looking for

[winter wolf]

switch to Free Explore and keep moving until it says you can't warp that far

[azure geyser]

Then just skip the first 2-3 planets that you can jump over and head to the farthest planet you can jump to on that line

[winter wolf]

that is the nature of the game. if you want to find something exactly the way you want, you can use someone else's coordinates at nmsce.com

[stoic vale]

There will be plenty of planets that match your requirements, you just need to find one of many

[winter wolf]

otherwise, exploration is literally the whole game

[azure geyser]

Nah, I don't want to use someone else's coordinates

I trashed my interceptor and living ship that I got from nmsce

So that I could find my own

[scenic raven]

just dont forget that this makes a difference then too on finding one

more often at least

[azure geyser]

They really don't, only the first letter makes a difference

Cause the first letter corresponds to star system color

[scenic raven]

i've always ended up finding 2-4 paradise planets on systems labelled between 4-6 honestly, the number is for average planet temps so the median 1-9 should spawn them more often

[unreal cloud]

they are rare

[atomic fractal]

The problem is the direction

[winter wolf]

turn the camera to the galactic core. its the big glowing light

[atomic fractal]

It's what I do. Too little. I fear just using free explore blindly in the direction and actually miss

[atomic fractal]

Hum let me see

[azure geyser]

If you're in pc, pressing backspace brings camera back to the system you're in rn

So you can't really get lost in the galactic map

You can also exit the galaxy map and then reopen it

What is the shape of the galaxy? Is it like a flattened cuboid shape?

[stuck berry]

You can very easily see the light of the galactic core from any distance, so just go towards that

You can basically ignore the line until you get within 3,000 LY in which you're required to follow it to a "gateway system"

If this is about the story mission "The Purge", see this post #nms-questions message

[atomic fractal]

Thanks

[atomic fractal]

No I'm just going for it for curiosity

I'm really lazy about the story missions

[astral pasture]

do the story cause that unlocks you all the stuff the game has to offer

[wet sigil]

Just bear in mind that manually jumping to the core takes hundreds of jumps, the distance to the galactic core on the galaxy map is real distance

[stuck berry]

Only like a hundred something with 5,000 LY range, it sounds like a lot but doesn't feel long

I think I've done that in less than an hour, I forget though

maybe it was less than 2 hours

[azure geyser]

Chat what's the shape of a galaxy?

Is it a flattened cuboid?

What I mean is can you reach the edge without actually hitting the far edge, but hit the top and bottom edge of the galaxy?

[stuck berry]

A large cube, much wider than it is tall

[azure geyser]

How do you get 5k ly hyperdrive distance? Do you need to use supercharge slots?

[stuck berry]

I do not believe it's possible to reach that without using supercharged slots

[azure geyser]

How much can you hit without supercharge?

[stuck berry]

Idk

[azure geyser]

I have only like 3300 on my freighter (missing 2 300ly upgrades)

Should do build those soon

[wet sigil]

On a freighter, a well rolled hyperdrive stat can just about reach 5000LY without any of the hyperdrive techs super charged

What I meant by well rolled was 79.8% range bonus, s freighter can roll up to 80%, and my s rank upgrades are 250, 249 and 249 LY

[azure geyser]

||I read about leaks that hg is planning people owning multiple freighters?||

Idk if it's true or not

[wet sigil]

No idea, I would welcome it though

[stuck berry]

Just barely

[stuck berry]

gunter is late but never gone

[azure geyser]

Wait but why should I spoiler that?

[stuck berry]

It's unreleased info

[azure geyser]

Oh ic

[stuck berry]

It could be scrapped, like many features found early have been

We never want to set expectations for things that never come

[scenic raven]

doesn't mean they wont stop putting out some bangers

[azure geyser]

This freighter looks cool

I forgot system freighter looks cool too

[stuck berry]

My freighter has a 73.593% hyperdrive bonus, so with an 80% bonus it would have just barely 5,049.2 LY

[azure geyser]

How do you find something like that?

Like the percentage

[stuck berry]

Using a save editor on PC

Unfortunately, there is no way to view these in-game, without unequipping all tech and comparing with "base" numbers that even then in some cases can be chaotic

Hyperdrive is easiest though, since the base is 101 (besides sentinel ships and maybe living ones), so anything added to that is from the bonus

[azure geyser]

Ic, i should scrap my freighter for a better one but I've already upgraded the tech slots a lot

I used like 20 storage augmentation for the freighter on the tech to fit all of my tech

[azure geyser]

Should I build the hyperdrive upgrades for the blue, red, green systems?

If I already have the atlantid drive?

[stuck berry]

If you want more LY (on a freighter), yes

[atomic fractal]

How do I use the Corvette med pod?

[stuck berry]

By placing it and looking at it, it's use is cosmetic

[azure geyser]

That's the neat part, you don't

[stuck berry]

(It does nothing)

[atomic fractal]

Even with the freighter? And wdym manually are there other ways?

[atomic fractal]

And the base one?

[azure geyser]

I remember hearing something that hyperdriving is a client side action, so what happens if someone is in my corvette while I initiate a warp?

[stuck berry]

Base what?

[stuck berry]

They warp along with you

and are standing where they were previously in the ship when the warp concludes for them

[azure geyser]

The base medkit does work, but it requires a powered wall to work

[atomic fractal]

The med pod from the base

[azure geyser]

Ic

[stuck berry]

Oh the health station, those work fine, yes

corvette habs and freighter rooms count as "powered" for things that require power

which includes those, as well as lights

[atomic fractal]

Corvette habs? You mean I can put it on Corvette? I'm confused you just said it was aesthetic

[azure geyser]

Habs are the big rooms

2 units big I think

And walkways are the small rooms

[stuck berry]

I'm referring to this

This is not cosmetic, this heals you when you interact with it while it's in a powered room
well, heals your Core Health, not your shields

[atomic fractal]

I'm not sure if I have any of it

[atomic fractal]

And I can put it on Corvette?

[stuck berry]

If you have the blueprint for it, yes

[atomic fractal]

Oh I understand the big "containers"

[azure geyser]

You can't post gifs in this chat?

[stuck berry]

We cannot

[azure geyser]

I wanted to post that gif of a basketball player smiling awkward with the "?" To this message

Cause like you need a hab/walkway for the corvette to work, it's a core requirement

[atomic fractal]

Any other faster way to heal?

[atomic fractal]

Yeah I understood

[azure geyser]

Fight sentinels and pick up the shield recharge they drop

I think those heal as well

[stuck berry]

The only manual/faster way to heal shields is to shoot or collect the canisters dropped by sentinels

[atomic fractal]

It's just that I mostly use the big ones and I find them small and I dream of a bigger room lol

[stuck berry]

or just wait, as shields regenerate automatically when damage is avoided for long enough

[azure geyser]

Yea we need more variety in the parts imo

Or someway for the parts to interact with certain parts around it to form a tight seal like looking thing

Cause at this point parts next to each other often leave awkward gaps

[atomic fractal]

Why do we have so many different names for planets which are the same thing? I might have seen 10 different names for frozen planets by now

[stuck berry]

It's just how it works, many names to describe the same thing. See !faq-biomes in #nms-commands to see all of them and the signs of what means what

[azure geyser]

Why can't we have freighter interiors like the derelict freighters

That would be so cool

Would be too big for capital freighters, but it could be done for system freighters

[stuck berry]

The derelict freighters moreso resemble the old freighter rooms, but even those didn't have the variety that derelict freighters have

the old freighter rooms were very very basic

[azure geyser]

How often do HG listen to feedback like suggestions

[stuck berry]

Somewhat, people asked for "big ships we can walk in" for ages but at the same time it was unrealistic

same with Gas Giants and Waterworlds, and water on moons again

[azure geyser]

Like I think what we have is the "interior" of the freighter is actually outside the freighter

And it dynamically loads and unloads to look like there is nothing behind the bridge

[stuck berry]

Somewhat, the whole base unloads when you are outside of it which means exterior aesthetics don't need to be worried about

[azure geyser]

Yea I get that, modelling the interior of a capital freighter like a Resurgent venator class is too much

It's too big for variety and would cause a ton of lag

[atomic fractal]

So gas giants don't exist or what lol?

[azure geyser]

But like it could be done with system freighters

[stuck berry]

They exist fully, they do not generate as regular planets though, they only generate as an override for an entire system type

[azure geyser]

Gas giants spawn in X class star systems and count as none of the other biomes

[stuck berry]

Basically, some purple systems are selected to be "Gas Giant systems" which overrides them into being one gas giant and 5 moons

[atomic fractal]

So why isn't there a number on purple systems?

[stuck berry]

#nms-questions message

They do not follow the biome probabilities file, they solely exist as an override that's applied to some systems

if that number was larger than 0, they would be found as regular-sized planets

[azure geyser]

All gas giants have storm crystals right?

[stuck berry]

Correct

[atomic fractal]

Damn gotta rush story

[azure geyser]

That is correct, but don't forget to enjoy it

Im preparing myself for the journey to Teyaypilny

[atomic fractal]

It's kinda annoying most the times ngl

Run there talk to someone

Run there talk to someone else

Save Artemis

[azure geyser]

I don't plan on using portals to get to the center of the galaxy, so I'm upgrading my freighter rn, still in euclid for now

[azure geyser]

Gameplay part of the story is annoying, but the lore itself is.... Interesting to say the least

Ima need a ton of hyperdrive fuel holy shit now that I think about it

[atomic fractal]

Well I really want to find deep water planets to build a cool base so it'll be worth it

[mossy meteor]

Does the automated oxygen harvester work like a mineral extractor but anywhere and for oxygen?

[astral pasture]

yes it does

[azure geyser]

Look for planets with lithium, they are the ocean worlds

[atomic fractal]

I need purple star systems

[azure geyser]

Chat I have a question I'm pretty sure no one will know the answer to but still, how many warp cells would you need to travel from Euclid to Broomerrai

[stuck berry]

The Oxygen Harvester? It works more similarly to the Atmosphere Harvester, which is very slow and stops working when you go away from it

[mossy meteor]

Ah so I can only make it once I have a base

[stuck berry]

No

[mossy meteor]

I mean like something I'll be around constantly

[stuck berry]

Even then, Gas Extractors are far more reliable, they are the gas equivalents of Mineral Extractors

which work far faster, and continue working when away from them

[mossy meteor]

Can a gas pocket be oxygen?

[azure geyser]

Yes

[mossy meteor]

What other gas pockets are there?

[stuck berry]

All worlds will have half of their Concentrated Gas Clouds be Oxygen

[azure geyser]

It can also be planetary glasses like nitrogen for lush, radon for frozen

[stuck berry]

Radon, Sulphurine, Nitrogen, Methane

[azure geyser]

Etc

[mossy meteor]

And that's the other half based on star system?

[azure geyser]

Not star system

But planet biome

[mossy meteor]

Alright, that's helpful to know

Thank you

[knotty bramble]

I had like 9000 chromatic metal and carbon. I logged on and I can't find it anywhere, I think I forgot to take it out of my refiner before getting off the game last time. Any ideas and where it could've gone? Or did I mess up and it's just gone

[stuck berry]

!faq-biomes in #nms-commands also shows them

[stuck berry]

It may have been left in your refiner

if it was, it's most likely gone but could reappear again due to unloading refiner jank

for future reference, never let a refiner unload while it has items in it

[knotty bramble]

Okay, I checked it and there is nothing in it

[azure geyser]

How imminent is "imminent core destination" or whatever it's called

[stuck berry]

which includes teleporting away, flying away too far, or going to the freighter hangar from the freighter base

[stuck berry]

It won't truly detonate, it's just another name for them

purely flavor, it could be thousands of years

it could be millions, but gameplay/functionality wise it's not something that's real

[azure geyser]

What is the biome name for those?

[stuck berry]

Volcanic/Lava worlds #nms-commands message

[azure geyser]

Oh

I really like the name "Terraforming Catastrophe"

Unique

@stuck berry how many warps can a freighter do with 3 s class hyperdrive upgrades?

In 1 full charge I mean

[stuck berry]

Idk, I've never really truly counted

[azure geyser]

I'll have to prepare enough warp cells

[stuck berry]

Every time I'd prepare I'd have a lot more than necessary

[azure geyser]

For the journey, I decided not to settle in teyaypilny, but move into Broomerrai

[stuck berry]

Though I exclusively use Warp Hypercores

[azure geyser]

I'll bring a mix of both hypercores and the smaller ones

[stuck berry]

Finding worlds that have Storm Crystals isn't too hard, about half of all extreme worlds seem to have them (besides lush which never have them)

[azure geyser]

I don't plan on using portals

[stuck berry]

You can find out instantly if a world has them by summoning exocraft and using it's scanner

[azure geyser]

Which is gonna make it more time consuming

[stuck berry]

storm crystals during non-storm time are hidden from the analysis visor, but not from exocraft scanner

[azure geyser]

Also does mt scanning radium affect the analysis visor?

[stuck berry]

No

[azure geyser]

I think it's better to farm storm crystals in gas giants no?

Cause it's always storming there i think

[stuck berry]

Somewhat, they're further apart due to the endless storm

and average in less batches

[azure geyser]

Ic

So better to find a normal planet with extreme storms

[stuck berry]

Currently, yes, then determine if it has Storm Crystals

[azure geyser]

Cause they'll have more storm time than normal stormy planets right?

[stuck berry]

Correct

They have storms far more frequently than normal and "high storm" planets even

[azure geyser]

I wish I could use my corvette for my journey

Cause my corvette has so many upgrades, 1 warp literally only used 2.5% of my hyperdrive fuel

However warping with my corvette is too tedious, cause my corvette only has 2300 hyperdrive range

Which is less than the 4k my freighter will have

But then again, my corvette uses less fuel

Ack I'm so torn

[lavish swallow]

Are the Voyagers update trailer mountain planets locked to a specific type of star system?

[stuck berry]

Somewhat yes, purple star systems

purple star systems have many new terrain types added in Worlds Part II that are exclusive to them

See this post on how to unlock purple star systems #nms-commands message

[lavish swallow]

Damn. Grinding hard to finally unlock them soon.

[azure geyser]

Grouch, can I send you a screenshot of my corvette tech slots and can you help me reorganize for max alignment bonus?

I'll be home in half an hour so I'll send then if you're still awake

I think it's like 12am for you almost?

[stuck berry]

They're definitely worth it for the mountains

[stuck berry]

That would be okay

[lavish swallow]

There's like an infinite amount of stars in the game so the chance of encountering something similar like these eventualy is pretty likely but can those symbols at the bottom actually be used to find these or is that for show in the screenshots?

[stuck berry]

The symbols are coordinates, they can be used in the galaxy shown to reach those planets directly

though you cannot reach purple systems via portal travel until finishing the mission that unlocks them

the main story teaches you about portals, and gives you all 16 glyphs to use them at the end of it

They can be used to travel to any planet in the galaxy, given you have the coordinates for them

[lavish swallow]

Ah right. Yeah not far enough yet for that but I know the original last mission in the game does something similar with the concept.

[atomic fractal]

I need shit

Literally

Where do I get faecium fast

[azure geyser]

Kill fauna

Wait no that's mordite

Sorry

Uhhh, feed the fauna and collect their shit

[stuck berry]

Kill fauna to get Mordite, then refine that into Faecium

[atomic fractal]

Slow like that?

[atomic fractal]

Ohh

[stuck berry]

It's faster than getting fauna to defaecate

Though also some swamp worlds have Faecium as a mineral resource

Some also have Mordite, but right now that's bugged and instead is shown as Sulphurine

[atomic fractal]

Does Mordita have any use outside of this mission I'm doing?

[stuck berry]

Some, but not a lot

[atomic fractal]

What about lenium and aronium?

[stuck berry]

Those have some uses, I think both appear as a settlement construction material, and possibly some other rare stuff

I keep one stack of each of those in my storage just in case

but sell the rest

[atomic fractal]

So when doing a fishing mission, i was brought to a place with absolutely no water near it. What do I do?

[stuck berry]

Find somewhere on the planet that has water

If you can't find any, possibly find a different planet with water

Though that depends on if the mission wants you to catch biome-specific fish or not

[atomic fractal]

The mission wants me to catch 6 uncommon fishes

I started doing it in the sea in the same planet

But it wasn't counting

So I returned to the place it wants me to fish

The count is still on 0

[stuck berry]

Oh thats weird, I've heard it worked before

[atomic fractal]

Although I caught one in the sea

[stuck berry]

Have you caught any fish with blue, purple or yellow backgrounds?

[atomic fractal]

One uncommon

[atomic fractal]

Yes I got an A

[stuck berry]

Then that's wacky, maybe you do have to fish there. If so, just dig a hole to the water

[atomic fractal]

Now that I went where it wanted I guess it'll let me fish in another part of the planet...

[atomic fractal]

Is it possible?

[stuck berry]

Yes, you can use the Terrain Manipulator to dig down to the level that water is at in most places

[atomic fractal]

I have dig to the limit many times but never found water

[stuck berry]

Then you may be on an elevated location that doesn't have water

[azure geyser]

Chat normal blackholes(not the ones in the center of the galaxy) don't damage exosuit, mt and ship right?

[stuck berry]

Correct, they do not damage anything

[azure geyser]

Ic ty

@stuck berry Heres my corvette tech

[wet sigil]

I would swap the s rank phase beam upgrade above your photon cannon with the Atlantid drive to the right of the same cannon

[stuck berry]

I'd move stuff around like this, but some of it might need to move entirely to support the layout idk

That pulse engine one assumes that's the S-Class upgrade module, and not the Sub-Light Amplifier

[wet sigil]

I think the sunlight is the one above it, the lower left corner is purple and there is only one of it

[stuck berry]

Though now that I think abt it I'd maximize that supercharged one's adjacency by just making a circle around it

[stuck berry]

The sub-light amplifier has an identical icon to pulse engine upgrade modules, the purple background is from the supercharged slot

[wet sigil]

Huh? Super charged changes the icon colouring, not just the border?

[stuck berry]

Correct, it always changes the background to add a purple hue

[wet sigil]

I see, now I see it

[azure geyser]

It's sublight on the supercharged

[stuck berry]

Ahhh, then still it'd be better to maximize the adjacency of that for an improved effect, as well as the core Pulse Engine which also increases pulse speed

[azure geyser]

Also here's my freighter, Im getting 4800 warp range atm

[stuck berry]

Ah, you could follow the "optimal" layout here possibly #nms-commands message
