[azure geyser]

unfortunately all the supercharge slots are on the edges

[stuck berry]

I said the layout

But if you want, you can still supercharge the hyperdrive things and follow the same priorities

That's what I do in mine

[azure geyser]

Rotated it 180 degrees and got this

its got 4830 range

honestly thats really close to 5k, im wondering if somehow I got quite a high multiplier

[stuck berry]

Maybe, you could package all hyperdrive tech and then subtract 100 from it to get a decent answer

[wet sigil]

Nevermind, I misread the inage

[stuck berry]

Also the guide recommends to place the two highest LY tech in the middle for a reason, so do that

The more sides that something is adjacent on, the more of a bonus it gets

[wet sigil]

But wouldn't the effect of SC'8ng the 800LY worth dropping one single adjacency?

[stuck berry]

Of course

At least I think so, but it may be slightly more complicated the more that I think about it

[wet sigil]

Hmm...

You know what, I'll do some testing tonight

[azure geyser]

Followed the layout on the image, only getting 4635 range

It's fine, 4830 is close enough

[stuck berry]

That is very strange, it should be much higher due to prioritizing the ones with the most ly

Unless you mixed up the A and B class things, which the image clarifies below

[azure geyser]

Yea but I lose the sc on the reality de threader

[stuck berry]

Ohhh i didn't even notice that was a SC slot

[azure geyser]

Yea it's a shame literally all my sc slots are on the edges

[stuck berry]

The freighter hyperdrive icons don't have much background space

[wet sigil]

Are you s rank like low 200 LYs each?

[azure geyser]

2 of them are 207 and 1 of them is 247

So like

Yea

☠️

[wet sigil]

That would explain it

[azure geyser]

I don't know how to get better ones

It's like, I have only found 1 pirate system so far that spawns freighter battle every time

So I just farmed that, it's unlucky all of them are lows

[wet sigil]

The rolls are fixed per star system

[azure geyser]

yea I figured

[wet sigil]

I have coords for a system that drops 249, but I don't have it handy on me, I'll ping you on another channel once I find it later

[azure geyser]

sure

[spiral belfry]

When you are teleporting to another system with a portal, how does it work to put in the coordinates

[wet sigil]

If the coordinates are a string of numbers, you need to convert it into glyphs first, then go to any portal, use the terminal in front of it, and click on the glyphs in the same order as the glyph address of your destination

[spiral belfry]

Ty

But I’ve only teleported in the main questline and then you charge the glyphs

[stuck berry]

You still have to charge all 16 glyphs normally, just that after that you get to input a sequence (and you can only input glyphs that you have unlocked)

[spiral belfry]

Oh ty

I got some coordinates for class s voltaic staff and I couldn’t figure out how to put in the coordinates

[silk bane]

How does a Corvette do against an explorer or solar for a planet/system hopper? No huge LY distances required

[wary cedar]

Atlantideum and Pugneum is a highly efficient way to generate large amounts of Nanites. right?

[stuck berry]

Similar, corvettes have the fastest pulse speeds and you can install up to 3 Zenith-Class Reactors to add even more warp cell efficiency than normal so maybe they would be ideal

You also don't even need to land, you can just beam down onto the surface

[wary cedar]

is this ship good?

[wet sigil]

Would have to upgrade to s to know for sure, but at worst it's probably better than what you have now since no repairs needed

Decent scrapping fee too

[wary cedar]

okay thx

[autumn talon]

there are these fire barrels that you can find in pirate stations, can i purchase them as decoration, if so. How?

[wary cedar]

@wet sigil if possible can u explain this

by explain the process

all yt people saying to dupe but i dont wanna do it

[stuck berry]

I believe the blueprint to build them was only awarded from a previous community expedition

From Expedition 8: Polestar

[wet sigil]

IMHO, there are only two methods of nanites farming that can be considered efficient is high end mould farming or outlaw space station hopping for suspicious packages. To the very best of my knowledge, none of the other methods come close to touching these two

[wary cedar]

okay understood thankyou!

[wet sigil]

(not withstanding things like trading stuff off other players, as I really don't like trading with other players for stuff that can potentially be saved edited or duped)

[wary cedar]

okay

[wet sigil]

But do whatever you find fun

[wary cedar]

Sure thx

[dim plaza]

can you buy cactus flesh

if yes, where to buy them from

[mossy meteor]

From anyone with a space ship

[dim plaza]

can you plant them

[wet sigil]

Yes

[mossy meteor]

👍

[dim plaza]

ok how do I make its seed

[wet sigil]

Just be ware of itz 16 hour growing time

You never make seeds for plants in NMS

[dim plaza]

not an issue for me

[wet sigil]

You plant them using actual plant plus some other material

[dim plaza]

can you put them in the tray thing or whatever

[wet sigil]

The recipes are available on the anomaly

[wet sigil]

Yes

[dim plaza]

oh okay

got it thanks

[coarse atlas]

bro does this game have some kind of crazy memory leak atm?

[dim plaza]

I dunno

didnt notice anything

but save often and you should be fine

[wet sigil]

I noticed it with VRAM a while back

[coarse atlas]

I searched it up and it seems a lot of people have been having this problem over the last year where the longer I play the worse the performance of the game gets

I find myself having to restart the game to fix it

[late oar]

rarely like 1 out of 15 time i experience massive memory leak when i alt tab back to game after a long up time (4-5 hours of playing), restarting solves the problem for good

[ember helm]

PC?

[coarse atlas]

yeah

[ember helm]

Steam?

if so, disable the overlay

i've heard that causes a VRAM leak in NMS

[coarse atlas]

oh yeah I did that, and to be fair it did make a noticeable difference

but still after a few hours of gameplay I do feel the frames tank a bit

[gray shoal]

It still has few memory leaks. In my case its noticeable when warping and landing on planets a lot

[wet sigil]

For me it was alt tabbing

[coarse atlas]

yeah it's very odd

[brazen flame]

is there a way to color all hallways and stuff in your freighter at once

instead of needing to go thru it all and spam g

[ember helm]

yeah i do that a lot so maybe that does it too

[ember helm]

nope

[ember helm]

thats a lot better than having to select the color every time

i thought you had to do that, when i discovered you selected it once and go around hitting g i just did it because its not that hard

[wary cedar]

I don't know if this online tool is good or not but i got a 4 supercharge sentinel mt
Is this layout is good just going for all in one mt ig 😅

[alpine ember]

If i discover a system in NMS and then eventually changed my PSN name does my name in discovery update as well?

[wet sigil]

Not sure about PSN, but if it works anything like the PC version, it does not

[wet sigil]

Switch the advanced mining laser with the S rank laser uograde you have labelled 1

[wary cedar]

What will it do

[wet sigil]

Better mileage out of your upgrades

[dim plaza]

which difficulty option to raise in order for dreads to spawn

[wet sigil]

The boost you get from adjacency also depends on the number of other techs they are adjacent to that's giving them the adjacency, your s rank laser is a better upgrade than advanced mining laser but it's only adjacent on one side. Swapping it with advanced mining laser will make it adjacent in two sides

[wary cedar]

I will do that . apart from that ?

[wet sigil]

There isn't one. The class depends on the economy systems, but the frequency doesn't depend on anything, but if your space combat difficulty is lower than normal, then it will not spawn some of the freighter encounters

[dim plaza]

so do I gotta raise it for dreadnought encounters

[wet sigil]

If it is lower than normal, yes

[dim plaza]

okay tanks

[wet sigil]

About the only thing I would see is to avoid squishing your techs that has more than 6 members into two rows, as that prevents you from using quad adjacency layout

[echo blade]

how many dissonance resonators are there per dissonant planet?

is it only 3 by any chance?

[unkempt stump]

@echo blade I've seen a lot

[echo blade]

scoured a planet for ages and couldn't find more than 3, same on another one

[wet sigil]

No, but I have seen large patches of a planet that had next to none for a while, this was what ended up me getting a habit of checking the autophage corpse at every dissonant site, since it has a chance to contain a stack of mirrors

[echo blade]

mirror?

[pallid tiger]

try finding somewhere flat

[unkempt stump]

@wet sigil where would I find the autophage corpse

[pallid tiger]

They dont seem to spawn in rough area

[echo blade]

I did, planet is pretty flat

[pallid tiger]

final advice is search from your ship I guess

cover more grounds

and pray you have good luck

[echo blade]

alright

thanks then

[wet sigil]

Behind the ship

Look for a glowing cylinder of sorts

[wet sigil]

Inverted mirror, one of the drops from resonator

[echo blade]

oh right

no I love these too, good for picking up the ships you get from carrier cores or whatever they're called

[wary cedar]

okay understood thxx

[keen fog]

Anyone know of a good lightweight recording app I can use when I am shipbuilding? I tend to come up with decent ship designs and can never remember how I made them.

[wary cedar]

What's the best way to find good tech for mt's

[swift sand]

what are you looking for atm? did you mean to say you're looking for (upper class) upgrade modules e.g. s-class movement upgrade?

[swift sand]

what platform are you on? (this is kinda offtopic, so it would probably be best to ask around #off-topic-bond-james-bond )

[keen fog]

Steam

[wary cedar]

i wanna upgrade them with there max tech someone suggested black market tech

[wet sigil]

I would start with S rank techs first, X rank can be rather finicky

[wary cedar]

i dont know about layout need to see how to mange smiliar tech

[wet sigil]

For most upgrades, best X ranks beats S ranks, but getting good X ranks (by that, I mean X that are better than their S can be) can be fairly... annoying

[swift sand]

have you decided which weapon tech you're going to go with? is that blaze javelin?

[wary cedar]

Yep blaze javelin

[wet sigil]

Pretty much what you have and fill the rest of the SC slots with S ranks

[wary cedar]

for SC slot i want blaze upgrades

[swift sand]

like frostburn suggested, i'd recommend getting a build with s-class modules on first - i'd suggest taking a look at <#nms-commands message> as well: 2x2 is still going to be quite strong if used with blaze jav. if you want to then upgrade them to x-class, see <#nms-commands message> if you want to actively find the best stat rolls "brute forcing it" (if not, just install an x-class - can acquire them from multiple sources, basically outlaw systems, if it's better keep if not dismantle).

[wary cedar]

Okay

Thx

[brazen flame]

what does it mean to upload your base

[swift sand]

if another player visits that system, and they're connected to the ODS server, your base will be visible to them, e.g. in the station teleporter list - even if you're offline

[brazen flame]

ah i see

do i have to always upload it if changes are made

[swift sand]

yeah, in order to sync them up to the server

[wary cedar]

@swift sand Now?

apart from right side tech

[swift sand]

looking good! try supercharging mass accelerator instead of an x-class module

[wary cedar]

oky done

now the other weapons right?

i had a question can i max out both weapon damage and scan capabilities ?

[dreamy bear]

I have a memory fragment in my inventory, what it do?

[swift sand]

most players focus on a single weapon per multitool, basically to use all supercharged slots for the same weapon - there's no real need to install others, unless you're like, experimenting

[dreamy bear]

Hey that's smart. I should do that

[swift sand]

depends on what type of fragment it is: some are just tech loot boxes, others are inventory upgrades

[dreamy bear]

I haven't opened it yet, I got it from an alien grave 🪦

[brazen flame]

what does the mark of the denier do again

[dim plaza]

what cape pattern is available without expeditions rn

[wary cedar]

experimenting is good but i don't have time to do that 😭 any youtuber did that? i will just copy it

[eager igloo]

What's this?

[dim plaza]

whatever weapon you feel fits you better then use that for one multitool

and multiple weapons needs good mt rng

[wary cedar]

i see

thx

[dim plaza]

np

[swift sand]

allows player to continue/interact with the atlas eternal endless mission

[swift sand]

cursor over it, it should hint at what it is

[swift sand]

check <#nms-commands message>

[swift sand]

just a visual bug

[dreamy bear]

So it's like a goods crate?

Random loot

[wary cedar]

what is this?

this is my best of trying hard

🥲

[swift sand]

polyphonic core, a multitool tech unlocked in the they who returned secondary quest, finds autophage camps

[wary cedar]

Okay will do that quest

[swift sand]

that looks powerful. have you tried it out? also, would recommend installing paralysis mortar and voltaic amplifier (can be unlocked from anomaly mt research npc)

[wary cedar]

I did

[analog scroll]

⁨!faq-echoes⁩ in #nms-commands for the requirements to start it

[wary cedar]

Install

[wary cedar]

Thanks

@swift sand I have installed it
Both
Took me 2 hrs to build this whole weapon

Nanites and units framing doesn't count 💀

36 hrs into the game

And how can I unlock the jet pack trail
I need that plasma trail

[analog scroll]

Plasma trail seems to be a quicksilver purchase

[wary cedar]

Ahh will see how to get that

[analog scroll]

Daily and weekend missions in the Anomaly

[wary cedar]

Okay thx
Can I do it solo

?

[analog scroll]

You can do every mission the game has to offer solo

[wary cedar]

Okayy
Thx for your time
Have a good day or night 😂

[shadow dock]

guys does selling active indium worth for passive income?

[analog scroll]

Not really, the value was decimated a few years ago

[shadow dock]

hmmm so rn just look for sentinel ship for money farm?

[analog scroll]

Gold is the money making mineral these days, if you want a passive farm

[shadow dock]

oh so I just sell gold ? like that

I do have some gold farm but never sell it guess gonna start selling it

[analog scroll]

Pro tip: Sell to pilots, not to the trade terminal. That way you can continue to do so over and over and not impact the local economy temporarily

[shadow dock]

oh alright
thanks a lot for the information there ^^

[wary cedar]

@swift sand is there any place where i can try my weapons like a trial?

[charred haven]

you can try them against the swam spawned from whispering eggs? have an exocraft nearby if things go south

In space you can shoot near a space station, and try them against interpecters. You can enter any freiihter or the space station if things get too spicy

[wary cedar]

Okay understood

[dusk coral]

is there a way to make a pet run faster? like modifying its egg?

[granite sail]

Whatbis this logo

[analog scroll]

Frigates on a mission in that system

[dusk coral]

i want a really speedy strider but all it does is walk, when sprinting? slightly faster walk

[granite sail]

Ohhh icic thx

[charred haven]

anyone that has data for how effiencient it can be to shoot whispering eggs, to refine larval cores?

are structures closer togheter on a moon?

do you have an issue?

you can showcase corvettes in #nms-showcase-corvettes or #nms-showcase-corvettes and creatures in #nms-photomode-gallery or something similar

^

[dusk coral]

oh my gosh im so sorry i thought its no mans sky channel

@charred haven big apologies

[charred haven]

no worries ^^ it's an awesome corvette, but let's stay on topic

[frozen pulsar]

any advise how to look for water on gas giants?

[charred haven]

https://www.reddit.com/r/NoMansSkyTheGame/comments/1ih4bmz/where_do_you_find_water_on_gas_giant/

Scanning after crystal sulphite seems to be pretty reliable

[charred haven]

Though I don't know if it can direct you to a moon in edge-cases

I have not tried it

[frozen pulsar]

how can scanning on a giant direct me to a moon?

[dreamy bear]

I heard you can make any alien creature a pet is this true?

[analog scroll]

Not any, but most

[dreamy bear]

Can I get the giant earthworm?

[analog scroll]

No. Not unless you get someone that has the expedition pet to give you an egg

[dreamy bear]

How do you get eggs?

[analog scroll]

Induce them from your pets, which you tame using creature pellets

[dreamy bear]

Also I checked the vendor at the death star and he says that they have been claimed but I made a new save file

For expedition rewards

[charred haven]

I have had some difficulities with the system insisiting I should go to the same planet even when in a different system that also has that resource. Not sure how much is fixed

So it probably won't direct you to a moon, but I dunno

[atomic fractal]

Do black holes bring me closer to the center of galaxy or the destination is random?

[analog scroll]

Roughly 6k ly closer to the core

[charred haven]

both?

[atomic fractal]

Are they the fastest way to get there?

[charred haven]

depends on how you wanna get there

[analog scroll]

Not if you have glyphs, but do note if it's for The Purge, reaching the core is not your objective

[atomic fractal]

What's it then?

It tells me to

[tulip dust]

@atomic fractal
-# to view info below, enable embeds

<: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||

[analog scroll]

It tells you to progress toward the center, but you don't even need to do that

[frozen pulsar]

oh ur talking about target sweep
it doesnt work now, the target sweep asks me to be IN water to find pearl

[atomic fractal]

16? Hell insanity. Why is the last part about the 16th warp? Uninstall tech?

[charred haven]

did you target sweep for crystal sulphide?

[analog scroll]

Spoilers, but ||Every installed tech (suit, tool, ship) will be damaged with 1 of the 2 choices to end the story. Packaging them and/or switching to an unwanted ship/tool will minimize the impact||

[charred haven]

End of game story spoilers mind you

[frozen pulsar]

yes, just doesnt work at all

[charred haven]

welp

I'm out of ideas

[analog scroll]

End of story, not end of game

[charred haven]

sorry

[charred haven]

yes

[dim plaza]

what are the current unlockable capes as of rn without expeditioning

[charred haven]

Try asking your original question again, if chat goes on

[atomic fractal]

So Corvettes can't get into the atlas lol?

[charred haven]

those stations are from before corvettes. Are you asking how to get in?

[frozen pulsar]

nvm i just naturaled it lol

a decent pond too

[charred haven]

XD Perfect

nailed

it

I'll pretend I was helpfull

[frozen pulsar]

maybe i can dig below it to get big fish? does it work that way?

[charred haven]

I don't know. Now that we have confirmed that the reddit thread might be outdated, I'm out of ideas

[wary cedar]

No way the suit looks so cool

[atomic fractal]

And if my 16th warp is inside the freighter?

[atomic fractal]

No, the normal ship works

[analog scroll]

It's not the warp that causes anything, it's the decision afterward

[wary cedar]

Cant we change color of our ships or weapons?

[charred haven]

just confirming that corvettes can't get in?

[atomic fractal]

Is it some expedition suit or just endgame?

[atomic fractal]

Well I just found out

[charred haven]

... yes?

[frozen pulsar]

the suit itself is vykeen, bought for QS
the helmet and jetpack are from atlas expedition, iirc

[wary cedar]

can i still get this?

the suit looks so goodd

[stuck berry]

The suit, yes. The head and backpack, not without mods/etc on pc or other means

[charred haven]

can you have another player gift them to you?

[stuck berry]

No.

They're not items or anything that can be transferred to other players

They're customization option unlocks

[alpine ember]

Does anyone know if there wil be anymore updates to nms, kinda done with everything, just waiting on new content?!

[analog scroll]

They've shown no indication of stopping updates. Typically 1 per quarter

[stuck berry]

We'll probably get one this month, but that's solely speculation based on average update release gaps

If not, they could have internally delayed what was supposed to release or just chosen to wait longer

[charred haven]

That being said we are just players and ultemately do not know the pipeline

[zinc cloak]

What's a portal code that gets you to the edge of Euclid, or one that works for any galaxy for that matter? I tried putting in only the last symbol, but that actually landed me about 5000 ly from the center like putting in only the first symbol. I guess the portals both start and end near the center. Surprisingly no one claimed that site so now I have a base called "The Last Portal of Euclid" there.

[azure geyser]

On this topic, how does the glyphs system work?

Like how is it decided which glyphs corresponds to what

Mathematically

[zinc cloak]

Good question...

[stuck berry]

By determining a system seed based on where the system is, that's fully deterministic

then creating planet seeds from that, and ship seeds and a few things that make more based on those etc

[analog scroll]

x12 will get you within 5k of the core in every galaxy, there are some extreme coordinates that also work in every galaxy https://nomanssky.fandom.com/wiki/Portal_address#Extreme_Coordinates

[zinc cloak]

Oh cool thx.

[azure geyser]

So it's possible that a 12 code glyph might not point to any system?

[stuck berry]

Correct, many trillions don't point to anything

[azure geyser]

What happens if you input them?

They take you to the next closest system?

[stuck berry]

"Error, approximating location"

[stuck berry]

Yes, but semi-random true destination

[azure geyser]

Why does it say to not build a base?

[stuck berry]

The latter 8 digits point to the region's location, the 3 digits after the first are "which system in the region this is" which only goes up to like 500 or something usually, but has the numerical possibility for 4096 I think

[stuck berry]

So that the graves are not obstructed

[azure geyser]

What graves?

[stuck berry]

The graves specifically marked in "NMSCE's 16 Grave Planet"

[azure geyser]

Yea but what is a grave planet?

Naturally spawning large amount of graves?

[stuck berry]

A planet that has the location of 16 graves documented at it, for collecting all of the glyphs

[stuck berry]

All planets have around the same amount of graves

just that they're not easy to locate normally

[azure geyser]

Oooh I see now

[stuck berry]

So if you have the first two glyphs, you could travel to that planet and collect the remaining 14 by going to the bases there

[zinc cloak]

'Use scissors to open the package of scissors'

[azure geyser]

I mean unless you're gonna like go out of your way to find the glyphs without finishing story, then I guess it's useful

But like most people probably won't even know what a glyph is until they encounter one near the end of the game

[zinc cloak]

Permadeath players might use it idk.

[azure geyser]

And by then it's just.... Easier to just warp and get the glyphs themselves

[azure geyser]

Does permadeath not have story?

[zinc cloak]

No it does, but you can skip the story this way

[analog scroll]

It does, but a lot of Permadeath players are just using that save to get the achievements

[stuck berry]

It does, but reaching the center in permadeath gives a special achievement (or two, if you lack the Survival one)

[azure geyser]

Oh ic

This game is so massive, I love it

[stuck berry]

And even then, some players may want to get the glyphs early to go get stuff that they like before tackling the main story, like a precaution as well as they've most likely played the game before

[azure geyser]

I have 200+ hours in this game in like 3-4 months time, and I'm still learning new things every day

[azure geyser]

Hmmm... I actually scrapped almost literally everything except my freighter that I got using coordinates from others

Like my living ship, interceptors, etc

So that I could find and discover some myself that I can call truly my own

"leave my mark in this infinite universe" type shit

[stuck berry]

That's also what I did, but that's because I've found a lot

[azure geyser]

Yea, unfortunately it took me 2 saves and 80 hours to realize that the point of the game isnt to rush

Im on my 3rd save and I feel like I've finally found the meaning of this game

"it's not the destination, it's the journey"

Grouch, you have inspired me, can I add you as a friend on discord and nms?

[zinc cloak]

Everybody wants to be Grouch's friend it seems lol...

[lavish swallow]

Okay so how do I find Dissonance Resonators?
I'm on the right type of planet but they seem to just not be spawning.

[analog scroll]

Look for sentinels, they'll be around there. Use your visor, they are marked.

[summer hamlet]

hello how can my friend give me full access the his base even if he go offline

[stuck berry]

They can't, this isn't something that can be done.

At most, they can enable the network options to allow their base to be modified by others when they're in the same system system as it, and upload the base so it appears even when they're away/offline

It's impossible to modify someone else's base though while they're not in-system, and even if it was then their save wouldn't read those changes

Hello Games would have to add functionality to make that work

[brazen flame]

whats the sell price of activated indium compared to gold

[wary cedar]

any improvement needed?

[stuck berry]

Not really, no

Other than swapping the Neutron Cannon and the unsupercharged upgrade

And then moving the blueprint tech to that spot, to maximize it's adjacency

[wary cedar]

thankkss now its 21903

[stuck berry]

That's actually... really low

What are the rolls on those upgrades?

[wary cedar]

wait a sec i will ss each one

[stuck berry]

It would be preferable if you unsupercharged them for the screenshots

[wary cedar]

yeah

[stuck berry]

Note that the illegal neutron cannon upgrades have the same top end of the range as the S-Class ones, so technically it's objectively better to hunt S-Class neutron cannon upgrades

[stuck berry]

Those are... really really low

Do you not know what illegal upgrade modules are?

[wary cedar]

😭

[stuck berry]

/how they work?

[wary cedar]

No

[ember helm]

they can be better than S but they usually aren't

[stuck berry]

They have slightly higher max possible stats than S, but the minimums are truly 0

with a tedency for lower

[ember helm]

you have the equivalent of like C/B tier upgrades lol

[wary cedar]

💀

[stuck berry]

but as I said, neutron cannon is the sole exception to the "illegal can roll better"

[wary cedar]

It's my first time building a weapon so idk

[stuck berry]

so just go buy S

[ember helm]

my illegal neutron cannons upgrades have 40% charge speed reductions for example

so yeah that's way low

[stuck berry]

Always hunt S-Class upgrades first, then illegal when you somehow want better
but again, illegal neutron cannon upgrades don't roll higher, so the last part isn't relevant here

[wary cedar]

Took 1 hr to get this 💀shit

[ember helm]

just go buy S

for neutron cannon upgrade

3 upgrades will fix this immediately

not even joking any S tier you can get will be better

[wary cedar]

Okay will let you know in a min

[stuck berry]

You could install many S-Class ones and compare them, then keep the ones with higher numbers, but their ranges are always very high so there won't be too big of a difference

[wary cedar]

Okay will keep that in mind

[subtle stag]

Illegal upgrades aren't

Waste of a cool outlaw mechanic

[stuck berry]

They're cool, but only when you put thought into them

[wary cedar]

cant find any sadly

just got 1

[swift sand]

remember that save+reload or teleport out and back in restocks upgrade module shops

[wary cedar]

@stuck berry @ember helm

[stuck berry]

That is far better

Move the blueprint tech upwards by one and it would be even better

[analog scroll]

Might get higher DPS if you supercharge the base weapon rather than one of the upgrades, swap it and the top right upgrade

[stuck berry]

I thought that this was not true for the Neutron Cannon though #nms-commands message

[wary cedar]

no effect it's having same 73831 is max it's going

[analog scroll]

You should supercharge the p-field for the neutron cannon, but if you have another sc slot available supercharging the base weapon is always a good idea

[stuck berry]

So the layout in the command is wrong?

[analog scroll]

Damage potential is not DPS

[stuck berry]

If so, then fixing it would be good

[wary cedar]

Ahh okay

[analog scroll]

Maybe? I don't know the details. Perhaps that's been tested more than what I would think

[wary cedar]

@stuck berry

[stuck berry]

I've always heard that for neutron cannon it's P-Field Compressor > Upgrades > Main Module

[wary cedar]

now good?

[stuck berry]

I cannot think of any way to improve it

for damage at least

[wary cedar]

Okayy thx time to get a good royal scanner

[atomic fractal]

Question here, sometimes when I sky dive from my Corvette into atmosphere my character falls into the lame regular fall animation, how do I prevent it? I've found that on my Corvette most times I jump from the top of it through the stairs I put I always skydive, but it's a lot more rare when I jump from the ramp or the other entrance room

[atomic fractal]

Talking about it, what's the best weapon tool in the game? I never upgraded my multi tool when it comes to that

[stuck berry]

That is due to your corvette's layout, are their modules placed above the landing bay?

If so, either remove them or relocate the landing bay

[atomic fractal]

Which modules?

[stuck berry]

It's a bug, where stuff above the landing bay makes the skydiving animation end early

[stuck berry]

Any

[atomic fractal]

Landing bay or the access ramp?

Is it the same thing?

[stuck berry]

Same thing

[atomic fractal]

I'm confusing with landing gear lol

[atomic fractal]

Well I use that room which the ground comes down, you know that kind of landing bay. So yeah there's always something above me

[stuck berry]

Then at the very least I'd advise reporting this to Hello Games so that they fix it

!hg

[tulip dust]

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

[atomic fractal]

I use the ray weapon or whatever it's called idk if it's good enough. I always use the minotaur to fight stron enemies anyway

[stuck berry]

All of them are good when upgraded IMO

Though the blaze javelin has felt the worst for me

[atomic fractal]

But if I just jump without touching any ceiling above me I should sky dive fine?

[stuck berry]

Possibly, I have to melee boost to the side to avoid the issue

[atomic fractal]

Even the lazer cannon or whatever it's called? It has as many upgrades as the ray weapon for me and it's just worse

[stuck berry]

I don't know which one you are referring to

Do you mean the Neutron Cannon?

[atomic fractal]

No, it's a red one

[stuck berry]

That would be the Blaze Javelin

[atomic fractal]

Yes

The animation is really impactful but just it

[atomic fractal]

This seems powerful I'll look forward it

[stuck berry]

The Neutron Cannon, Boltcaster and Scatter Blaster are somewhat equally extremely strong when upgraded IMO

The Pulse Spitter can output similarly but not as crazy, and I've only used the Blaze Javelin to see that it feels worse than the rest

[atomic fractal]

What's the name of the regular blaster mode?

[stuck berry]

Boltcaster

[dim plaza]

can certain animals spawn based on distance

for example

[stuck berry]

Kinda, the distance they spawn is based on their size

So larger ones can spawn much further away

[dim plaza]

I had this settlement at a planet and I never saw spiders

but when I went to check something on the otherside of that planet

there was this massive icy spider just hanging about

[stuck berry]

I think fauna mostly don't spawn near settlements/go inside the settlement, but it's happened before to me

[dim plaza]

I had seen like

much normal fauna around the settlement

ik about underground fauna but does the type change based on distance

[swift sand]

ime distance to player doesn't have an effect on what species spawn - that's more related to spawn chances and spawn conditions, and limit of animal entities on screen/nearby (e.g. seems like if game will have up to 20 animals rendered at the same time, it wont really spawn others, because all the possible 20 "slots" are being used

[dim plaza]

then how did they spawn when I had never seen them before

besides surely not every planet has 20 fauna types

[swift sand]

lucky roll of the dice i guess, hadnt spent enough time

[swift sand]

yeah, 16+ (even 14+) fauna planets are not common

[dim plaza]

thats weird

[swift sand]

takes a lot longer to find all on such planets ime

[dim plaza]

what does ime mean

[swift sand]

the first 9-10 go fast enough, but then it starts slowing down 😅

[swift sand]

in my experience

[dim plaza]

oh

well thats strange

and very rude of nms

[brazen flame]

if you buy derelict freighter coordinates from the grey market dealer, does he increase the price at every station or only per station

[swift sand]

every station

[brazen flame]

💔

[swift sand]

remember that it does reset daily back down to 5M

[brazen flame]

i had to go in the middle of a derelict freighter so i just saved at my corvette, when i logged back on it despawned 😭

[brazen flame]

oh

thats perfect nvm

[swift sand]

that said, you'll eventually be making so much money that even 30M is pocket change

[brazen flame]

yeah true, im eventually just gonna make a gold farm later game when i do actually NEED more money

[swift sand]

units really arent going to be a problem for this sort of thing

[brazen flame]

very big gold farm*

[swift sand]

have fun 🙂 also remember these days there are ways to get moneys that dont really require gold farming

[brazen flame]

also when does it reset, at a certain time or locally

[brazen flame]

yeah but gold farming is automatic and not super hard so its a reliable option

[swift sand]

should be at 00h00 utc

[brazen flame]

i was thinking of using nutrient ingestor and anomalous donut

[dim plaza]

don't use anomalous donut its just more inconvenient

[swift sand]

yep, lots of alternatives

[dim plaza]

make extra fluffy cream cake

[brazen flame]

whats the one that requires the least sub steps

that gives a good boost for scan money

[swift sand]

both of those work well imo

not too complex

!mobileapplink

[tulip dust]

https://nmsassistant.com

[dim plaza]

hold on lemme check donut recipe rq

[swift sand]

!product anomalous doughnut

[swift sand]

!product lumpen doughnut

[swift sand]

just use the app 😄

[brazen flame]

tyty

[dim plaza]

yeah

[swift sand]

there's tons of recipes, so be sure to check if any of the available ones for something is easier than the first ones presented

e.g. delicate meringue

@brazen flame and btw, you wont need an ideal scanning multitool supercharged slot layout: this was a scan reward using 3 s-class scanner modules, bottom of the barrel rolls (~+6k%), only 1 supercharged

[brazen flame]

also are derelict freighters particularly difficult

[dim plaza]

I never realized how stupidly complex the donut is

[brazen flame]

okay ty

[dim plaza]

thats odd

[brazen flame]

and if you do both you get even more?

[swift sand]

nah, not really. remember that interior layout (room paths, objects spawned, enemies) is fixed per system

[brazen flame]

i meant difficulty of enemies and such

[swift sand]

if you supercharged 3 scanner modules, you'd get very close to or blow past 30M

[swift sand]

nah

[brazen flame]

kk ty

[dim plaza]

is supercharging things in isolation better or putting them together

like i have these two upgrades and I have two supercharged slots

do I put each in an individual superslot or together

[swift sand]

if your supercharged slots arent adjacent: supercharging bonus is always stronger than adjacency

[brazen flame]

what happens if you awake the nest

[young girder]

Hi, all. I have this system freighter - what category is it in?

[brazen flame]

do like just horrors spawn

[swift sand]

small biohorrors will spawn, you can run back to the previous room for example, dont let them gang up on you

[dim plaza]

thats convenient

[brazen flame]

alright

cant i just shoot it

run back and take them out

and go back in

[swift sand]

see <#nms-questions message>

[young girder]

Thanks.

[swift sand]

you can, then horrors will spawn, and then how you deal with them is really up to you - but yeah, if needed you can exit the room they're in, they wont follow you into a different room, allowing you a breather, or a more strategic position

[brazen flame]

oh perfect

gonna spam plasma balls

[atomic fractal]

So I destroyed the pirate dreadnought. Where do I get my reward?

I got inside the civilian freighter and it didn't give me option to get reward

I'm not on a Corvette btw

[stuck berry]

You received it automatically

though note that there's no benefit to destroying a surrendered pirate dreadnought, despite the text

[dim plaza]

is there a food made entirely out of plants

[swift sand]

basically, if you want to get the larger reward pool, that includes the s-class freighter module, you had to blow it up ignoring engines, not making it surrender - blowing it up after the surrender doesn't drop anything else

[dim plaza]

and their byproducts

[brazen flame]

yeah that was way easier than i expected, 1 boltcaster burst kills one instantly

[atomic fractal]

Wait so I had to actually get on board of it lol?

Someone told me if I didn't destroy the engines it would scape

[vague geode]

You do that when you want them to surrender so you can capture and claim them.

[swift sand]

destroying engines is a needed step to trigger a surrender state. there's enough time to blow it up before it warps away after you destroy the last fuel rod - you can do some damage to its hull before destroying the last fuel rod to make it a lot easier to do

[stuck berry]

When it reaches 25% health or has all of it's anti-freighter cannons destroyed, it begins charging it's hyperdrive which takes 35 seconds. Once those 35 seconds are up, it warps away. If it's hyperdrive is destroyed, it fails to escape and surrenders.

Each fuel rod that you destroy removes 7.5% of it's health, so you could remove 25% of it's health by shooting it's hull, then destroy all of it's fuel rods to instantly destroy it and basically ignore the warp charging time

[stuck berry]

Here is a demonstration of that, with the unmodified starter ship on the highest difficulty options

[swift sand]

for +% fauna analysis stat? not that i recall, at least not any of the ones with +6k %. the ones lower than that are all like dont even get to +3k %, and are basically all fishes

[dim plaza]

not for fauna

just any food made by plants and their byproducts only

cuz I wanna roleplay having a stable food source in my corvette

[swift sand]

there's plenty of food recipes that dont use animal products, e.g. delicious vegetable stew

[dim plaza]

thats good

can this be done entirely on a corvette

[atomic fractal]

Understood

[swift sand]

yep, certainly

[dim plaza]

okay good!

[atomic fractal]

Holy moly

I swear those shield balls were a lot more resistant against my non upgraded ship lol

[swift sand]

on normal mode, even without upgrades, they should be quite easy to take out

i think there's some damage scaling going on there for sure

[dim plaza]

oh also sorry for asking a dumb question but are the lines of three ingredients at the top supposed to be put inside together

[swift sand]

you process a stack of fungal mould, to get a stack of nontox shroom, process that to get steamed vegetables - mix steamed veggies with itself to get flavoursome sauce

[dim plaza]

and the bottom one?

[swift sand]

same principle - process fungal mould to nontox shroom, but then mix nontox shroom with itself to get fibrous stew

this can also be done with gamma root or solanium btw

[atomic fractal]

They're, it's just that I need (or maybe I'm just bad used) to slow my ship so much to the point it's never as cinematic as this

[dim plaza]

good to know

[atomic fractal]

Also do I get a reward by just destroying or I have to get into the victim ship to be rewarded?

[atomic fractal]

Like can I do it on my Corvette @swift sand ?

[dim plaza]

can you upgrade the class of a freighter

bullfaecium mechanic

:(

[vague geode]

@dim plaza Trading in and trading up isn't so bad.

[charred haven]

that's really funny ngl

[charred haven]

yeah, you keep the basedesign

[dim plaza]

does everything transfer over

like cargo

and placed stuff

[stuck berry]

Placed stuff yes, core tech/cargo no, storage container contents yes

See #nms-questions message

[charred haven]

The base transfers over, but not inventory slots, so stocking up on cargo bulkheads before switching is probably a good idea

[dim plaza]

well that ain't so bad

[dim plaza]

what's that

[charred haven]

cargo bulkhead is a item you can get from many sources, though a consistant one is from high ranking guild rewards at spacestations

each cargo bulkhead can increase freighter inventory by 1

[charred haven]

^

[dim plaza]

oh alright

I got plenty

what was that website that located freighters for you again?

[atomic fractal]

Is it better than them surrendering and asking for a payment?

[atomic fractal]

Holy shit we have those?

[dim plaza]

yeah

it can even locate dreadies

[atomic fractal]

8 of 16 baby LET'S GOOO

[dim plaza]

do you know the website that locates stuff for you like mt and freighters

[stiff oasis]

Can anybody help me with Lithium?

[atomic fractal]

Are there planets with deep sea and also land? Or the deep sea are only full aquatic planets?

[atomic fractal]

I have an absurd production of it bro

How do people meet in game?

[analog scroll]

You can only obtain that for yourself in Purple systems, or have someone give you some #nms-lfg-or-trades

[analog scroll]

Water planets have some land, but not a lot

[swift sand]

actually, some dont have surface land at all - so it goes like a) no land b) very few-more islands c) snake terrain

[zinc cloak]

Is there no way to reset your position in a derelict freighter other than reloading a save? I accidentally walked up this slanted lid then got trapped behind this box because jetpack is disabled...

[swift sand]

not that i'm aware of sorry

[zinc cloak]

sad 🙁

[vague geode]

@dim plaza Were you meaning the NMS Coordinate Exchange?

[dim plaza]

oh yeah

its thay

that

[atomic fractal]

What's snake terrain?

So there's no planet like earth in the sense it has land and a deep sea?

I just found a Corvette teleporter in the Atlas but idk what's the use of it if a Corvette can't get inside??

[swift sand]

there are

deep sea can be anything past 110-120u basically, and even planetary bodies that arent of the waterworld biome but are in purple stars can get oceans deep up to 450u or so - those have plenty of land. only waterworld biome planets can have really deep oceans, up to 1600u or so

[atomic fractal]

And we can get to those 1600u?

[swift sand]

see this planet in front here? that's a waterworld biome planet - that's "snake terrain", the rarest of all 3

[swift sand]

yep

[atomic fractal]

Damn why did they lock everything good behind purple star systems 😭

The insane story grind will make this my only save for a good time

[zinc cloak]

They didn't 'lock it' behind purple systems, it's just they had to make new systems for the new planets.

[dim plaza]

they kinda did cuz its still locked behind quests

cuz it couldve just been there like any other star

[zinc cloak]

in a sense i guess

[robust oracle]

is there ANY way to get the atlas s items and thingfrom previous expeditions

[analog scroll]

If you're on PC, #nms-modding has a way to rerun the expeditions

[swift sand]

they most likely wanted to make sure that they wouldnt mess with existing planets, that players might have gotten attached to, while still giving something to progress towards

[dim plaza]

fair point

[zinc cloak]

I think it's cool that they made a story for how they came to be added to the game tho. rather than just adding them as if they were always there.

[dim plaza]

yeah

it makes sense storywise too

[swift sand]

ahuh

[atomic fractal]

I'm not sure what I'm seeing. What's it like? Lots of mini lands?

[zinc cloak]

unfortunately now they set a precedent for how they'll have to add any more systems if they want even more variety, and I'm sure they will.

[dim plaza]

I dont think so cuz they can just add systems in with specific planet types only for that star system in like it always existed

anyways this is questions

lets not talk here about that

[zinc cloak]

oki

[swift sand]

do you see the dark strokes on the surface? that's land - waterworld biome planets almost never have this much, if any at all

[dim plaza]

so tidal planets are always like this?

[swift sand]

no, "tidal" is just a synonym for waterworld in general

[atomic fractal]

Oh the purple is the water?

[swift sand]

yep

[atomic fractal]

Understood

[atomic fractal]

The problem of this is that people like me who tend to focus in the open world and ignore some objectives might quit the game sooner thinking it's all

Damn I've been finding the game repetitive with the worlds I have access to. Luckily it's going to change soon

[dim plaza]

the game does have lots of planets but it isnt the main focus of what the player interacts with

[raw pelican]

how to use blender to build ships?

[dim plaza]

most of the times youre looking at planets for a quest or a good base

[swift sand]

try asking around #nms-modding

[atomic fractal]

What is?

So I just had to deny Atlas because I didn't have a certain sun seed. Will it have consequences?

[dim plaza]

ime its the sandbox aspect

[swift sand]

heart of the sun? nah, you'll be fine, you completed the atlas path in a diff way that's all

[atomic fractal]

Wdym completed? I'm just on 10 of 16 Atlas visited

[atomic fractal]

Was I supposed to see the future and know I needed one?

Can I return to him after I make it?

Doing Atlas path while doing Purge is so confusing

[analog scroll]

Do you have ⁨The Atlas Path⁩ or ⁨Atlas Eternal⁩ in your mission log? The 10/16 is not for Atlas Stations

[atomic fractal]

Now it's Atlas Eternal, but I believe it's because I denied him

[analog scroll]

Select The Purge and keep going, you're done with the Atlas Path

[atomic fractal]

What would happen happened if I had the sun thing?

[analog scroll]

You'd get a different choice. You unlocked the blueprint for the Heart of the Sun on the previous visit, you just never crafted one. Now you have the blueprint for the Mark of the Denier instead of the Star Seed. Both do the exact same thing

[atomic fractal]

It's extremely confusing, according to the Atlas Path it feels like I left Atlas to die but in Purge it's still dieing and I'm trying to save it?

[analog scroll]

The 2 missions are not related

[atomic fractal]

But both are related to Atlas??

[analog scroll]

The Atlas is the main lore mechanic in the game, so yes

||Everything is connected to it||

[atomic fractal]

So are companions useful in any meaningful way or they're just cute ways of wasting tons of my nanites?

It's so sad when I see a new dinossaur around and I can't collect it

[analog scroll]

In my experience? The latter.

[atomic fractal]

Isn't there a way to deposit your companions? Like a zoo?

So we can always collect more?

[analog scroll]

No

[charred haven]

you can find flying mounts, that can be fun

or like hatch them

right?

[swift sand]

yeah, flying pets like max size beetles can be quite useful for traveling, the anomalous fliers (the springs, the pyramids) - those are a laugh

[robust oracle]

which expedition gives you atlas minotaur and atlas staff

[atomic fractal]

Even the land animals are laughable. I can't control them

It's like they walk in the direction they want

[analog scroll]

None of them give atlas-themed minotaur items. Expedition 12 has the Atlas Staff as one of the rewards

[atomic fractal]

Uh do black holes move inside a system? It was besides the planet I landed and when I returned it was in the other side of the system

[swift sand]

yeah, there's been some change to animal pathing that has kinda made them to ignore our nudges to change direction sometimes

[robust oracle]

there was like a minotaur black with red lights

[analog scroll]

No

[atomic fractal]

It's intentional???

[swift sand]

dont know if full intentional though

[atomic fractal]

Aren't you thinking about the Sentinel one (which I have no idea how to get)

[analog scroll]

There are 3 looks for the minotaur. Default, Hardframe (acquired during Trace of Metal), and Liquidator, which can be purchased for Quicksilver

[robust oracle]

this guying

[analog scroll]

That's a backpack, not anything for the minotaur

[robust oracle]

oh

[swift sand]

nah they should be in fixed position afaik/ime

[atomic fractal]

Are you sure? It isn't the first time it happens to me. Maybe it's just an impression because space has no point of reference lol

Just found a SR-71 in tye Anomaly. Wild shit. Wonder if someone has done a F-22 or F-35

Apparently getting in a black hole counts as nothing for the Purge path

📖 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||

Pre made constructions sure aren't made to work with the others right?

Can you elaborate?

[atomic fractal]

Normal pieces don't connect well with them

It clips inside even when you're not using the no clip option

[charred haven]

you could use prefab stairs

[vital estuary]

No, but you can free place and get some to sort of work.

[charred haven]

once the first piece is placed the rest shoud snap fairly easily

[swift sand]

@atomic fractal a prefab corridor can snap on to a wall, which can lead to some useful alignments

[atomic fractal]

I just have the ramp

[charred haven]

that was probably the one I meant

[atomic fractal]

Hoyl information

[charred haven]

📝

[atomic fractal]

Too big

[charred haven]

then try playing around with the idea Bk presented

[atomic fractal]

I mean it's not wide but too long untill it hit the ground.

[vital estuary]

I dont have a screenshot but when I made my "space base" I put down the metal floor panel things and then a cube room square on that and built the prefabs off of that.
In hindsight I could have just used the corridor pieces with a door on the end but wasn't sure it would work that well.

The whole base pretty much ties onto the landing pad that was the first thing placed at that height.

[swift sand]

yeah, sounds like it worked out that way too, i hadnt thought of that (metal floor as a base for cuboid)

[vital estuary]

Have to zoom in but this an overall view of what I did.

On the ground it could be trickier since this was all off of one fixed point but ground could have several unless you pick a level and use some parts as temporary scaffolding, then remove them once the rest is in place.

No harm in spending some time playing with pieces and seeing how you can get them to fit up, just takes some patience I know I had trouble with it when I was still new.

[atomic fractal]

Are those round things the plants room or whatever it's called in English?

[charred haven]

biodomes, yes

[vital estuary]

Yes, the only downside of my dome placement is that harvesting one on a lower level can harvest a few out of a dome above it.

[atomic fractal]

Why is it bad?

[upper thunder]

why textures broken?

[atomic fractal]

Oh I thought you were using them as rooms but you're using their proper functionality

[charred haven]

are you playing vanilla?

[charred haven]

inventory management?

[vital estuary]

Not really "bad" unless I didn't want to harvest that dome at that time but can work top down and just do them all.

[swift sand]

if pc steam, quit game, try to disable shader cache in steam settings/downloads, launch game; make sure you're on updated gpu drivers. if console, clear console cache

[upper thunder]

yes

[upper thunder]

ok, thanks

i mean it all looked fine till i came to the station

[atomic fractal]

Why am I earnings glyphs while randomly warping through space?

[charred haven]

potential escalating steps:
1: reload save
2: quit game and reboot and see if it is fixed, and if not then do as bk suggested

Because that's where you are in the story

[atomic fractal]

How do I find a portal with it?

[swift sand]

!faq-portal @atomic fractal

[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

[vital estuary]

Yeah that part does it on purpose. You can find glyphs in other ways but that is sort of the easiest.

[upper thunder]

hey, this can be useful

So I just fixed a Sentinel ship, but got back into my original ship after, flew to the space station and tried to switch my ships, but I guess because I didn't get into it I dont own it. Is there a way I can figure out where it is? Im still in the same system i just don't know exactly where it was on the planet

[swift sand]

so you fixed pilot interface completely (transformed hyaline brain to harmonic brain and everything), but then rejected claiming the ship and left?

fixed this, but then didn't actually claim it/add it to collection? if you didnt mark it, finding that same site is probably nigh impossible

just find another sentinel ship site in the same system, will be the same ship design, same color scheme

[atomic fractal]

How do I attach a landing pad here? It's only connecting to my walls for some reason

[swift sand]

landing pad wont snap to non-prefab parts, so in short you need to use tricks to get it to the same level, like i did here <#nms-questions message>

[round ledge]

Yeah I thought once I fixed it it was automatically claimed. I didn't know it had to get in to claim it

[ivory dawn]

Is there a system that is used to get the 4 square corvette build, I've seen hero2u and old man gaming do it in 2 or 3 tries

[frigid bramble]

got a ?, im struggling to find purple systems and not sure what im doing wrong, ive only found 2 and that was a long time ago, ive spent hours today looking and havent found one

[swift sand]

well, you dont have to get in it - after fixing pilot interface, you're shown the claim screen - if you claimed it then, it should be in your collection, and summonable

[swift sand]

probably yeah, since station we use affects the supercharged slot layout positions

[round ledge]

Oh

[glass atlas]

Any news on new update?

[swift sand]

purple star systems are quest locked: pause, catalog&guide, collected knowledge, do you see autophage on the left side bar? if you do, click it, then on the right side, do you see in stellar multitudes? how to identify purple stars, see image/spectral class - they're usually in the outer edge of regions in the galaxy map

[swift sand]

||new expedition probably coming soon||

[glass atlas]

Finally

[swift sand]

we dont know for sure though

[atomic fractal]

But why do they attach to my regular metal walls??

[glass atlas]

What do autophage settlement differ from normal settlements?

[swift sand]

landing pad snapping to a normal wall? probably because it's creating a door in it? that's funny, i didn't remember it doing that

[frigid bramble]

i dont see autophage

[swift sand]

building looks and items that can be produced e.g. warp hypercore, radiant shard, etc

[glass atlas]

👀

[swift sand]

then you've not completed any of the needed quests yet. type !faq-purplesystems in #nms-commands for more infos

[glass atlas]

Can autophage settlements spawn in normal biomes and relatively secure planets? Or are they tied to the droids

[swift sand]

any inhabited system might possibly work

[toxic knot]

Have the devs like quit the game or something

[swift sand]

why would you think that? no

[glass atlas]

Let me quote from a gacha server:

Ded game, no content, dry jade, bricked patch

But I don't have hard feelings for that, I currently play X4 Foundations...

[atomic fractal]

No chance of my mountain base getting deleted right?

[swift sand]

well, if we're right, new expedition, coming soon - that's most likely going to bring new content. also, worlds part 3 should be coming sometime

[toxic knot]

Ohhhhhhhhhh

That's why

[glass atlas]

They can count to 3? Damn

Valve could never

[toxic knot]

Ty

[ember helm]

No way.

[swift sand]

your base wont get deleted, but it might get buried if you abused terrain manipulation too much

[ember helm]

@glass atlas Fancy seeing you here LOL

[atomic fractal]

It's on top of it actually

[glass atlas]

Lmfao, what a coincidence

[swift sand]

you'll be fine

[atomic fractal]

I finally found a different kind of planet

[glass atlas]

Nice screen

[swift sand]

yeah, some have extreme peaks like that

[atomic fractal]

Jumping with a vehicle from here is such an experience

[stoic vale]

I really hope that if they change biomes again they protect Paradise planets. I have spent an inordinate amount of time finding paradise planets in every galaxy to put a base on. When Worlds 1 dropped that wiped out about 50 of the 256 bases...

[swift sand]

i hear you. at the very least, they wont mess with terrain shapes in existing planets, so that players dont get their stuff buried.

[glass atlas]

Corvettes, imo, lack 3 crucial features:

• landing pads for smaller ships
• Storage Containers being accessible through inventory menu
• having better indoor/outdoor compatibility and larger open spaces

from your mouth to the Gods (aka the devs) ears...

[swift sand]

yeah def suggest these things to the devs 🙂

[visual ocean]

!mercury

[ember helm]

personally i don't really care for the landing pads since there's the beam functionality

and that has the added benefit of not using launch fuel

[atomic fractal]

What? It happens?

[glass atlas]

Well, the point is to be able to land with a smaller ship onto the corvette; freighter style

[ember helm]

OH

[glass atlas]

X4 foundations did show me how it could be done

[swift sand]

biome changes should never happen, but there is some kind of weirdness going on sometimes with lush and marsh biome, there's been some updates that have mixed the two up.

doesnt happen for all cases, but yeah

[round ledge]

Can I find cadmium at a space station to buy? Im doing the atlas quest line and need some

😔

[stuck berry]

You can only find it as the stellar metal of planets in red star systems

it's very very easy to go and install the Cadmium Drive and travel to one

You can unlock the blueprint for the Cadmium Drive at Iteration: Hyperion aboard the Space Anomaly, then install it for 250 Chromatic Metal and 5 Wiring Loom I think

[round ledge]

Oh ok. Thank!

[stoic vale]

It affected about 20% of my paradise bases

[stuck berry]

Subbiomes reshuffling will do that, yes

[stoic vale]

It was pretty devestating tbh. Especially having to redo some of the Harsh galaxies

[stuck berry]

as some of the subbiomes are Swamp and Floating Islands, which both have different weather options and chances for storms

with the latter just not technically being lush anymore from a gameplay standpoint, so not being able to have "Paradise Planetclass"

Note that worlds can fully lack storms without the Paradise biome name, as Paradise indicates both a lack of storms and low sentinel activity
See https://nomanssky.miraheze.org/wiki/Weather#Weather_Types for info about which weather names mean what status

[atomic fractal]

How many batteries do we need per each solar panel?

[stuck berry]

2 solar panels and 1 battery per 50kPs consumed

[atomic fractal]

Wdym by mix? Like some weird eldritch horror planed mixed together?

[stuck berry]

That some lush worlds became swamp/marsh, and vice versa

because swamp/marsh is also a subbiome of lush

same with lava/volcanic for scorched worlds

when they added both of those, a very small amount of lush and scorched worlds became those new subbiomes

[stoic vale]

Hopefully they don't do something similar again. I spend around 150 hours getting all mt Paradise planets sorted, and another 30 ish redoing those that changed

[atomic fractal]

How do we unlock paint styles?

For starships

[gray shoal]

Can only paint when building a ship . And u can only build hauler, solar , explorer, fighter

[atomic fractal]

I know

I'm talking about those numbers

[swift sand]

exp13 and exp17 rewards (<#nms-questions message>)

[atomic fractal]

Even the basic styles? Wtf
So I'll only have 2, always?

[swift sand]

well, the locked ones arent really "basic". to unlock them, you'd have to either wait for the devs to bring them back, or unlock them unofficially

[atomic fractal]

@swift sand I'm in the warp 15 and going into the 16th now. The preparation starts now or just in the 16th (taking a worse ship, getting rid of equipment...)?

[swift sand]

after the 16th warp registers, mission will progress and mark a portal: now's the time, before going through the portal

[atomic fractal]

So they add more than some dirty or shine?

[tepid pilot]

i cant join my friend in nms does anyone know why ? we just started and got it from xbox store on pc

[swift sand]

have you both tried adding nms friend codes, then completely restarting both games, then one of you goes via play game, the other waits till they see the first' session under join friends?

[tepid pilot]

we have eachother added on xbox so when typing friends code it brings up the xbox overlay to add eachother (but we're already added) however we each dont appear on the online friends tab in game

[atomic fractal]

@swift sand I'm in the end of everything, so what happens if I restart the simulation or if I deny Atlas on Purge?

[ember helm]

||nothing you can't come back from, easily||

||restart warps you to the next galaxy (Hilbert Dimension), deny does nothing (I think, idk, I restarted)||

[atomic fractal]

Well he just sent me somewhere

[swift sand]

in short, a shortcut to a different galaxy, you'll still be able to teleport back to your existing bases and stations etc. the color you'll pick relates to galaxy type, see <#nms-commands message>

[atomic fractal]

So the same happens independent of choice?

[atomic fractal]

Also I got nothing damaged

[swift sand]

if you dont refuse, the same mechanic yes, but the galaxy type can be different than the one you were on (euclid is a norm type, and so is hilbert dimension, which you'd be taken to if you completed the purge in euclid and picked the teal orb)

[swift sand]

what galaxy color did you pick?

[atomic fractal]

I didn't pick anything

I got this but I didn't choose

[swift sand]

did you refuse then?

[atomic fractal]

Yes

He said I could always return and make the choice again (?)

Can I really?

[swift sand]

that's why no damage

[atomic fractal]

So why is the other path the best option?

I mean something must compensate the damage you take

[swift sand]

not really, not that entire sequence, but it is still possible to get to other galaxies anyways. keep in mind that's that last part of the main storyline ties into the lore of the game, as so does "going through the galactic center". ||there's never any true reset, so this is partially flavor text these days||

[swift sand]

there isn't a best or worst option here

[swift sand]

we can almost fully protect against that damage, and it's basically a shortcut to another galaxy, instead of having to core warp, use anomaly teleporter or get taxied - but it can only be done once per save anyway

[swift sand]

remembrance is unlocked with either choice

[atomic fractal]

I'm still on Euclides wtf

[swift sand]

because you refused, but that's alright

[atomic fractal]

So I can't come back to him and make the other choice?

[swift sand]

no, that shortcut is not available now

but it doesnt really matter anyway

[atomic fractal]

Why is it alright? I lost the chance to get in another galaxy lol

[atomic fractal]

Why?

[ember helm]

there is no chance lost, you can still go to other galaxies

[atomic fractal]

But it'll take a lot of effort now, no?

[ember helm]

the only chance lost is doing that easily I suppose but even then, it's still not that hard to do manually

nope

[swift sand]

because it's easy enough to get to other galaxies. for example, let's say you wanted to go to eissentam. simple: summon anomaly, interact with its teleporter, featured bases, teleport to "last egg". there, you just got to a diff galaxy, the one you'd have gotten to, had you accepted and picked the green orb

[atomic fractal]

Oh

I kinda feel like I lost a big part of the story and I did a lot for nothing

What does Eternal Atlas do?

[swift sand]

endless mission, most commonly used to farm atlas words/complete atlas language

[atomic fractal]

And the purpose of it...?

[swift sand]

well, you completed it in a way - there was a time in the history of the game where after we changed galaxies, we couldnt go back

[swift sand]

that's basically its gameplay purpose, that and getting nanites for showing discoveries/wonders to atlas

[atomic fractal]

So you'd have lost your bases lol

[swift sand]

yeah, we pretty much deleted everything to get all mats back etc and then moved on

[atomic fractal]

And does there have a way to go to another galaxies?

[swift sand]

can you rephrase that question sorry

[ember helm]

hes asking how you get to other galaxies

that's not using the anomaly

[atomic fractal]

Does the anomaly have other places that bring me to a different galaxy?

[ember helm]

no

well, other places in the teleporter maybe, but not other places on the anomaly

[swift sand]

@atomic fractal hmm - yeah, the teleporter can always have bases in other galaxies, there's a few in featured ones, those are always available till the devs rotate them someday again - and if you got multiplayer enabled, other player bases in the same multiplayer instance as you can also be in other galaxies

that said

if you didnt want to wait/use that, you can just either do it yourself via core warping, 1 by 1, through the list, can only go up - or get taxied by say, star cabs

[atomic fractal]

So how do I start the quest to purple systems now?

[swift sand]

type !faq-purplesystems in #nms-commands

[atomic fractal]

I didn't meet those star cabs yet (unless you mean getting a ride on other players ships?)

[swift sand]

basically, yeah

!starcablink @atomic fractal

[tulip dust]

@atomic fractal https://discord.gg/WgUdnbZJjh

[atomic fractal]

What's this lol

[swift sand]

star cabs

a community of players who taxi other players anywhere they want to go

[ember helm]

i can also take you to a few galaxies, Hilbert (2), Calypso (3) and Eissentam (10)

[deep lake]

Question; so I’ve hit my 20k save limit for construction. My question is that if I start a new save and teleport to a previous location/planet where my other bases from the other save are—can I continue to build in that same area that way?

Trying to find a way round the 20k save limit—creating multiple saves to get around this would not be an issue for me at all, just want clarification before spent time on that endeavor

[swift sand]

you could build there, but you wont see the bases you built in other saves

even if you uploaded them

[deep lake]

Ahh darn thank u 🙏

[swift sand]

to do this, you'd need to have the game on two accounts, and 3... and 4...

[atomic fractal]

So I've already found harmonic camps before, do I need to do it again?

[swift sand]

shouldnt need to, no

[atomic fractal]

So I just need to warp now?

[swift sand]

ship warp out, and just brake to 0 in space and wait

[ember helm]

do illegal/X class launch thruster modules exist

[atomic fractal]

Apparently mp worlds take a lot more to load huh

[swift sand]

yep, but you can only get them from the black market upgrade module shop in outlaw space stations

[ember helm]

hmmm ok

just sanity checking cuz ive never seen one and someone is losing their shit in #no-mans-sky trying to find one lmfao

[swift sand]

you mean that you teleported to a featured base? for those, you dont need multiplayer enabled

[swift sand]

no, yeah, they exist, but can take a little time to find. oh also, btw, sorry, partially correct info, you can also get them from random npc pilots that land near us when exploring planets.

but ofc, not worth it to rely solely on the latter

[atomic fractal]

I teleported to the egg you mentioned

[atomic fractal]

And hell my game was struggling to render anything

[swift sand]

try to lower base complexity in graphics settings if on pc - disable multiplayer as well (not needed to teleport to featured bases)

[atomic fractal]

I like mp, but what does base complexity do?

The camera is such an important tool, when I'm on space and it's night in the side of the planet I'm looking, it's such an easy way to bring the sun in and see the planets with details

@swift sand first time I saw a planet in expansion which is 95% water, but it isn't deep

Maybe not 95 but most of it

[swift sand]

a planet in expansion?

in any case, yeah, there's planets like that that arent waterworlds; waterworlds always have lithium on the resource list, and there's no point thinking one might encounter them without cmpleting in stellar multitudes quest (that comes after they who returned), nor planets with oceans deeper than 120u or so

[round ledge]

What is the Magellan milestone? I need it to keep going with atlases

[vital estuary]

Some waterworlds might be more shallow than others though did find a few with islands recently.

[swift sand]

magellan is the last rank needed to complete the atlas path: basically, do journey milestone objectives, like zoology (finding all fauna on planets - planets with gold on the resource list are great for this one) or warping to new systems

[swift sand]

yep, there's certainly going be areas that arent as deep, or quite as deep as others on diff waterworlds; about islands, take a look at this post <#nms-questions message>. that variant with lots of land is rarer to find.

[round ledge]

Thank you

[swift sand]

sorry for the late reply, missed this. basically just controls the max number of parts visible/their quality for lower end machines

[atomic fractal]

What's it called in English? It's a tropical planet Basic I guess

[atomic fractal]

I'm on a ps5 lol

How do I turn off other players modifying my base? I know there's how

[ember helm]

network settings

[swift sand]

in save options, network settings, options in there - also recommend disabling pvp

[atomic fractal]

Oh is it enabled by default?

Thanks

Uh are save game things visible to other players?

[swift sand]

in short, if you dont upload any bases, and dont really play with others in the same system/in a group, nobody can even see your bases

that said, under some circumstances, yes, a save point or save beacon can be visible to other players, and depending on your save's network settings, maybe even pick them up

finally, another player cant ever modify any of your uploaded bases, unless you're at that base with multiplayer enabled, in which case, your save's network settings take priorityu

[dire ginkgo]

How do I get the purple systems because I completed the autophage quest before the atlas path

[swift sand]

that's ok, dont have to complete those two in any specific order. just goto space, pulse until hailed

if you got atlas eternal in your log, ofc

[dire ginkgo]

I don't how do I get it

[swift sand]

atlas eternal? do you see atlas path mission in your log?

[dire ginkgo]

No but I do have a new quest but I don't think it's the atlas eternal

[wet sigil]

Can you screenshot it?

[dire ginkgo]

I could be wrong because I'm not at my computer

I'll screenshot it tomorrow because my mom won't let me play after dinner

[wet sigil]

Atlas eternal is the correct sign that you completed the atlas quest, if the atlas quest in your log isn't atlas eternal, then you haven't completed atlas and need to keep going

once you make sure you do have atlas eternal, it is as bk201 says, just pulse until hailed

[dire ginkgo]

Ok

[wet sigil]

the hail is the start of the quest that eventually unlocks the purple systems

[dire ginkgo]

Thx

[atomic fractal]

I got into a system nearby the egg and I saw a star icon, it was a base in an harmonic camp

I don't mind, so I don't have to build one to remember where it is

[swift sand]

the star icon sounds like it was a save beacon at another player's base - when we upload a base, if we placed a save beacon at that base, the save beacon gets uploaded too

[atomic fractal]

Now I've heard some people build bases at ship locations, which I don't understand why

[swift sand]

dont rely on other player bases to bookmark locations - if you want a bookmark, remember that simply claiming a base computer nearby will suffice, we can teleport to any claimed base comp, even if there's no teleporter built there

[atomic fractal]

If it was a random save beacon I wouldn't see, right?

[swift sand]

crashed ship site class is fixed for all players - so if i found a s-class site, with a nice supercharged slot layout on top of it for example, i might upload a base there and name it something useful e.g. "s-class solar sail L-shape SC"

[swift sand]

if it was just a beacon off base then that'd be considered portable, would only be only visible to the owner, unless you were in a group/session with the owner

[atomic fractal]

But does it respawn in the same place for the new player?

[vital estuary]

Yes

[humble basalt]

anyone know what type of expedition i need to run to get a dream ariel? like balanced, discovery, industrial, or combat

[swift sand]

any can drop it afaik, no special weight towards any of the types. remember that navigator expedition offerings pool is fixed per system, so you can always try moving your freighter around to different systems (save in a diff system before 00h00 utc+relog

[wet sigil]

I would do them all, since the 5 you see on your screen is all you are going to get until GMT+0 0000

[swift sand]

yep yep

[humble basalt]

true thanks frost and bk, been looking forever for a dream ariel still no luck but gonna keep trying

[swift sand]

oh btw, getting one from another player would also work

[atomic fractal]

Yeah I just lost the dreadnought lol
