[swift sand]

a few hours, depends on game knowledge a little bit

[brazen flame]

okay

[outer brook]

yo im still in the tutorial but i need to buy a cockpit for a corvette but i dont know how

[granite creek]

Is it me or there is not enough cobalt in the world to do the expedition? im missing 20 ionized cobalt and i find nothing to get it

[hazy berry]

This one dude has veen asking for an hour for me to smuggle hin on my corvette to purple system

Is it possible

[analog scroll]

You'll find it in every cave

[hazy berry]

Because it seems that it eoesnt work

[granite creek]

oh

[stuck berry]

You don't need to do that

[wise reef]

You need to mine some in a cave, or use a better refining method

[stuck berry]

Go to your log and track Awakenings

[granite creek]

I had totally forgotten about caves

[analog scroll]

No. If they don't have them unlocked, they can't get to them. Period

[granite creek]

thanks so much

[lofty dirge]

when I select a sentinel interceptor quest, it tells me to warp to a certain system but that system doesn't have the quest icon so it's either back in euclid where I started it and the game doesn't know how to tell me to go back to previous galaxies or the quest is bugged

[outer brook]

oh thanks

[wise reef]

If you look for the gray strips, there are lots of cave entrances there

[hazy berry]

Please help me to explain that to them then

[stuck berry]

Or just mine the terrain deposits with the small terrain manipulator option

[hazy berry]

Im losing my mine

Mind

[analog scroll]

If they were here, it would be easy. They cannot access purple systems until they go through every step needed to unlock them. Even on a creative mode save.

[stuck berry]

You could look at a teleporter to see if a teleport option is closer to that system (it'd be at the start of the list with the mission tracked)

[lofty dirge]

you can actually scale the terrain manipulator radius up, including the mine mode by pressing the button you normally press for increasing its radius or size

[analog scroll]

Larger radius = less resources

[stuck berry]

Yes, though that significantly lowers it's efficiency at resource collection per volume

[lofty dirge]

but faster

[stuck berry]

But you only get like 30 resource per node

Versus like 300 normally and like 800 with the small one

[ionic pond]

i saw this short on youtube sometime back where someone explained how you coudl destroy certain cargo pods in pirate systems for frigate modules without your standing with any race, or pirates being reduced. anyone know if this is a thing and can tell me how i can achieve this aswel? all i can remember is that the pods from freighters with the icon are not the ones i should be destroying to make this work...

[brazen flame]

does every ||autophage synthesis|| terminal have different staff items

[lofty dirge]

eh some deposits are smaller than others

[brazen flame]

okay

[wise reef]

yeah it's more or less random

not entirely random, but a random selection of X, Y, and Z parts usually

[lofty dirge]

can you even go back to previous galaxies without a portal or teleporter?

[stuck berry]

Portals wouldn't help at all

[analog scroll]

Portals will not take you to a different galaxy, teleporters will

[stuck berry]

Teleporters and joining other players would be the only way that doesn't involve going through all other galaxies ahead to wrap around

[lofty dirge]

damn

[glass ice]

if you do not have a base:

1. check comunity highlights within the anomalie
2. simple visist all 255 - the last jump will return you to number 1 (obviously joking)

[hazy berry]

yeah thats what i have been telling him, we have tried glyps, corvette smuggling, teleporters and everything else you can think about, i think im losing it

[lofty dirge]

so if you don't make a base in every galaxy you visit you're screwed

[stuck berry]

Teleporters always allow travel between all destinations you have previously built bases at and visited space stations

[stuck berry]

Yeah, the developers intend for none of those to work, so they don't

Some ways used to work, but they were very intentionally patchdd/prevented in future hotfixss

[lofty dirge]

you need 12,800 chromatic metal to build a base computer in all 256 galaxies 💀

[hushed saffron]

Kinda yeah. The giant teleporter on the anomaly is your best bet to return to the first few galaxies

[hushed saffron]

Not that much considering the insane time investment required to reach every galaxy 😭

[hazy berry]

I have never even left euclid, am i missing anuthing important by doing so

[brazen flame]

can you mix and match staff parts

[lofty dirge]

not really

[wise reef]

Is there any reason to go to other galaxies, really? I never encounter anyone else random in Euclid anyway...

[analog scroll]

Stop trying. Direct them to the method for unlocking the systems themselves. Nothing you try will ever work if they don't have the systems unlocked

[brazen flame]

even the voltaic ones with others

[wise reef]

of course I am not near the center

[brazen flame]

okay perfect thanks

[swift sand]

old info; destroying freighter attached cargo pods used to not cause any standing loss, only floating cargo pods did - but the devs changed that. currently regardless of what you destroy on npc freighters, no matter what system, it will always cause standing loss. that said, no space police sentinel ships in outlaw systems, and standing is easy to get back

[stuck berry]

It's truly personal preference based on the slightly different chances for certain things (mainly biome chances in yellow systems)

[hushed saffron]

Not necessarily, but some galaxies have different rates of different kinds of planets. Lush galaxies, like Eissentam (galaxy 10) have a 4x spawn rate of lush planets in yellow star systems as opposed to the normal 2x. Empty galaxies spawn a lot more dead and empty planets. Harsh galaxies have more extreme planets and thus more activated metals

[lofty dirge]

eissentam's probably the most picked galaxy ||at the end of the game||

[hushed saffron]

I like Eissentam because I like lush planets and am hunting for paradise planet, so the increased spawn rates are great

[hazy berry]

hmm but you always just use glyps if you cant bother look to yourself

[vapid arch]

green means GO

🙂

[lofty dirge]

who would pick a dead galaxy?

[analog scroll]

Glyphs won't let you change galaxies

[fading basin]

hey im just getting into this mad game now and just have a question, why would i use a signal booster instead of just using my analysis scanner when looking for buildings ? ?

[hushed saffron]

Some people like that lost in space vibe

I kinda get it myself

[vapid arch]

emo kids

[hazy berry]

know that, but you can find alot of things in euclid too

[hushed saffron]

A more quiet and isolated feeling

[analog scroll]

Signal booster can mark a building, visor will not

[hazy berry]

lets just say that i use the anomanoly to go to eissentam

[hushed saffron]

Seeing the same alien races and ships everywhere could get old

[hazy berry]

does my technology break from that

[hushed saffron]

Nope

[hazy berry]

or can i come back the samew way

[lofty dirge]

actually yes, kinda mad that the majority of cool freighters are found in euclid

[hushed saffron]

Probably because most people are in Euclid

[lofty dirge]

I could go back to euclid but

[analog scroll]

Not from teleporting

[hazy berry]

well euclid is kinda the main galaxy

[fading basin]

but in my visor i can just hold down f right? and it will mark the building. is the range longer on the signal booster ?

[hazy berry]

we all start there

[hushed saffron]

Yea

Even Euclid is relatively unexplored

[lofty dirge]

so there's a chance of two people starting on the same planet?

[hushed saffron]

Theoretically

[analog scroll]

Euclid is mostly unexplored. Likely still in the single-digit exploration percentage

[wise reef]

I mean, every galaxy is so huge, and to be honest, once you visit a few of each planet type, finding new ones is no great shakes. In just my tiny neck of the wood,s I built bases for resources and there's loads of planets to dig bones, salvage parts, and everything else

I DO kinda wish there were other people around though

[lofty dirge]

the most explored galaxy is still mostly unexplored?

[stuck berry]

Euclid is basically completely unexplored when you travel outside of the "spawn ring'

[hushed saffron]

I chose Eissentam because of the increased lush spawn rates

[fading basin]

guys does the signal booster have more range then the analysis visor or something?

[stuck berry]

We haven't even explored like 0.001% of it

[analog scroll]

Yes

[hushed saffron]

Oh yeah. You'll find more explored stuff around the ring that everyone spawns in, and close to the center, but like between the middle and the edge, and high up and low down, it's basically untouched

[fading basin]

ah okay

[burnt valley]

What button is the Scanner on PC ?

[stuck berry]

C

If you mean Analysis Visor, that is F

[lofty dirge]

there was someone that wanted to travel to the outermost system in a galaxy.. I don't think it's possible

[fading basin]

also im confused, is it possible to bump into another player when exploring? i thought the exploration was a single player instance

[burnt valley]

Nice ty

[stuck berry]

You can just do that

[wise reef]

Yeah, I think the devs missed the mark with the 256 galaxies thing. ONE would have been enough, and would have resulted in probably some "urban" areas with decent player populations, and still leave plenty of frontier for people

[lofty dirge]

it'll take months

[hushed saffron]

If you understand portal mechanics it's pretty easy to reach the edge of any galaxy

[brazen flame]

if i go to another synthesis terminal will the class be different or have a chance to

[hushed saffron]

With the right glyphs you can get right to the edge immediately

[vapid arch]

depends on multiplayer settings i guess

[proper parcel]

is there any way to check the level and number of ships under my employ when im away from my freighter? i have 3 S tier advanced outfitting platforms and 2 Stier orbital factory platforms so dont think i need any more of them. however will be unable to remember what i have in my fleet when im away. any suggestions?

[analog scroll]

It's only 256 since they reset the universe. Used to be unlimited, but you could never go back

[stuck berry]

It takes like less than an hour of warping to reach the center

Reaching the edge takes less than half that time

All depends on the hyperdrive range you have and if you know how to amass large amounts of hyperdrive fuel efficiently

[hushed saffron]

I kinda like it. It's still finite but feels nearly infinite, limitless. You can make your own journey in this universe. It also feels more like what space exploration would actually be like

[hazy berry]

what is even at the edge of the galaxy

[stuck berry]

More systems

[hazy berry]

just void?

[brazen flame]

yeah just no systems

[stuck berry]

And a big wall of void/unreachable systems

[hushed saffron]

More stars. There is actually a boundary of phantom stars one region wide you can't warp too at the very very edge

[wise reef]

Yeah, but I think one galaxy would have given us both. The only time I found planets with existing bases and such is when I run anomaly missions.

[lofty dirge]

really tiny chance. even in discovered systems you probably still won't find the person who discovered it

[analog scroll]

The stars exist in the skybox at the edge, you just can't select any of them

[brazen flame]

is it like this or

[hazy berry]

ohhh really wish that there was just void, like total darkness with maybe few light strands

would be really cool

[stuck berry]

When two players reach the same star system and have MP enabled, they are matchmade together and can see one another

[hazy berry]

like flying deeper and the light begins to fade

until nothing

[analog scroll]

The class and the color can change

[ionic pond]

So only my pirate standing will decrease by doing this correct?

[brazen flame]

okay nice

[hushed saffron]

If you fly past the phantom boundary in the map then yeah it's just nothingness forever

[hushed saffron]

You can't warp there but

[stuck berry]

But the fog is still there, as well as the galactic core in the distance

[hushed saffron]

Kinda freaky, especially how suddenly it just ends if you're flying with the camera

[lofty dirge]

@neat snow there's your answer

[tropic ginkgo]

what space exploration would "actually be like" would be more like a whole lot of nothing and dead rocks
more like what you see in Elite compared to this procedural survival/creative game that only chose space as its backdrop

[brazen flame]

whats a hyperspace navigation station

[lofty dirge]

actually you'd need an entire crew just to land and take off every time

[hazy berry]

so do i remember this right, i exhange my ship with an npc pilot and then quickyl recrtuit him to my squadron

[brazen flame]

is it just a teleporter

[hazy berry]

and that way he has an sentinel ship?

[analog scroll]

Talk to it, fly through it, shoot it, admire it, fly away. That's what you do with most of the space anomalies that you run into

[stuck berry]

You can do that, yes. Though it can be buggy (they might try flying away or the lifeform may not appear), and know that the ship's inventory and class are not saved

[stuck berry]

It tells you the coordinates of your current star system I believe, that's it

[hazy berry]

But i was told that the ships class doesnt affect the rank of the squadron member?

[analog scroll]

And that is corrrect. Ship stats aren't saved for squadron ships

[brazen flame]

yeah i saw a string of characters which was 16 long

[tropic ginkgo]

Elite can do it for one-pilot ships with significantly less hand-waving than this game
different game doing different things, just the whole "space exploration feel" sounded funny to me when this is more like a single-player MMO with a cooperative element

[lofty dirge]

ok but single player and MMO don't go together. there's no "Massively Multiplayer Online" if the game's single player and you can't even fit that many people at once unless a bunch of people go to the same planet without being in a group

also MMO is like 50 players on the same server, anomaly has multiple servers

[neat snow]

Ah but a picture would have been easier to visualize

[hazy berry]

i swapped th ship and tried to rectuit the pilot, but the rank went from S ta b

[analog scroll]

Ship stats do not matter, and the pilot is rerolled when you trade a ship to them

[lofty dirge]

what's the difference between squadron, fleet and frigates?

[hazy berry]

Ohh maan

[stuck berry]

You could just recruit them and increase the class using nanites

[hazy berry]

You cab do that?

Since when

[analog scroll]

Frigates make up your fleet. Squadron are single-pilot craft like your own that like to get in your way a lot in combat

[analog scroll]

Since Squadrons were introduced

[hazy berry]

Where do i upgrade rhem

At my freigter?

[brazen flame]

is there only 2 autophage terminals per system

[analog scroll]

Fleet management terminal

[stuck berry]

At the squadron management menu in your freighter

[analog scroll]

No, there could be thousands

[hazy berry]

Ooh okey so thats how everybody gets cool ships eith good rank

[stuck berry]

There's one per autophage camp, there's hundreds of autophage camps per planet

[brazen flame]

oh damn

if i use the polyphonic core it tells me no camps found if i have more than like 2-3

uhh

[stuck berry]

That shouldn't be the case, mine has located them across the planet and even on others when in space

[brazen flame]

or it just brings me to

a previous one

[stuck berry]

It should ignore previously visited ones, mine has at least

[hazy berry]

But i have alrwaydy spent my nanites on companion slots

[lofty dirge]

get more

[analog scroll]

So earn more. It's not hard

[hazy berry]

but i dont have a mold farm

[brazen flame]

nevermind it just bugged out or something or i didnt do it r ight

[hazy berry]

it would take forever onb normal means

[lofty dirge]

you get more nanites per hour by buying suspicious packets but I do like doing derelict freighter

[analog scroll]

That's not the only way.

[brazen flame]

are autophages usually at stuff like broken machinery

[lofty dirge]

buy suspicious packets, open them and sell the modules to regular economy systems

[swift sand]

sorry for the late reply; no, note that i'm referring to the system race' standing, not outlaw standing. outlaw standing cannot be decreased, only increased. gek/korvax/vykeen standing yes, can be increased or lowered in various ways. one of the ways to decrease gek/korvax/vykeen standing is, as we were talking about, to attack npc freighter cargo pods, destroying npc freighters. (there's a gameplay advantage in doing piracy in outlaw systems, because sentinel space ships will never spawn there to come attack you as a consequence of piracy)

[hazy berry]

an interceptor landed on space station or is it the one i traded and recruited

[stuck berry]

Kinda, moreso most structures that aren't visited by other lifeforms (drop pods, waypoints, crashed freighters, damaged autophage)

[stuck berry]

It's most likely that one

[brazen flame]

ah i see, i noticed that the ground is usually flattened aroudn the area, is that just the indicator for it

[round bronze]

any1 know what is this ?

[stuck berry]

Bug

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

[round bronze]

okay thx

[stuck berry]

All structures have an area flattened for them

[lofty dirge]

it's a bug? I've seen that icon too

[stuck berry]

The icon appearing in the middle of space is a bug

[marsh zealot]

how do you get abilities to see Black Holes on the galaxy map in Abandoned universe mode?

[brazen flame]

no i mean like, when you go to broken machinery sometimes the area isnt flattend, but whenever i went to broken machinery with autophage at that one its flattend like a huge circle

[lofty dirge]

is there no NPCs on the anomaly in abandoned mode?

[marsh zealot]

just a lifeless Nada

[hazy berry]

can you change the ship of your squadronm members or do i need to fire them and recruit new ones

[stuck berry]

Fire and recruit new ones

[hazy berry]

couldnt you also buy moduels -50% off and then sell them back at full price?

[analog scroll]

No?

[hazy berry]

at the space station

[stuck berry]

That is a method I've been able to use but have avoided.

[hazy berry]

the technology merchants

[stuck berry]

It is one that can be done

[hazy berry]

this just and findable thing?

[stuck berry]

and is probably very efficient when compared to other nanite making methods

[analog scroll]

You have to adjust your purchasing settings over and over

[stuck berry]

no you do not

You can purchase modules for 50% off with max standing

then sell them for full price

[outer brook]

now im stuck in space and the astroids dont give any tritium

[analog scroll]

That's the only source for tritium, just keep shooting them

Or use pyrite to charge your pulse engine

[outer brook]

i think its been over 50 astroids and only gold and silver

[brazen flame]

you can also refine gold into pyrite

[outer brook]

im in space

[brazen flame]

no personal refiner..?

[outer brook]

dont think so i just started

[brazen flame]

oh damn

[analog scroll]

Keep shooting asteroids. Tritium asteroids are by far more common than any other type

[next yew]

how do i get these

[brazen flame]

dont like some asteroid belts NOT have tritium

in my experience ive found some

[outer brook]

the tutorial says i need to press c and scan for them but the scanner only scans like 5 meters in front of me

[analog scroll]

Purchase them from the Autophage

[next yew]

what autophage

[analog scroll]

Do it in space, in your ship. You don't have to, though

[analog scroll]

!faq-echoes in #nms-commands

[granite creek]

how can i make tritium?

because it's not natural to planets, right

[analog scroll]

You can't, you have to find it by shooting asteroids

[granite creek]

oh

so you can't fully upgrade the colossus in the expedition?

[hazy berry]

do you have any tritum clusters

they could give you some

[granite creek]

didn't even know taht existed

[stuck berry]

From their Synthesis Terminals that are found in their camps, after you have fully completed They Who Returned

[brazen flame]

how long on average does it take to find a terminal that makes your staff S tier

find..?

whats the chance of your constructed st aff being s tier*

[hazy berry]

easier just to upgrade, because every terminal gives different class for different head piece

[stuck berry]

Well these are the chances

[granite creek]

How do you get a platform module i didn't kow that was a thing sobs

[brazen flame]

oh oops 😭

[stuck berry]

What do you mean "platform module"?

[granite creek]

let me switch the language of the game to english one sec

[brazen flame]

is it mor worth it to just find a good A class one and upgrade it to S

[stuck berry]

Time-wise, yes

[brazen flame]

yeah okay, good thing i found some already

[granite creek]

OH NVM

in english the instruction is way clearer

[autumn sapphire]

why does my colosus scanner alway detect the same waste patch even if i drive in the opposite direction

[stuck berry]

Not sure, did you initially locate this waste heap via locating it with the scanner?

It should locate those that are closest, but ignore ones that have been marked before

[autumn sapphire]

Yea ill just keep driving and trying

[shadow sail]

How do i remove those hooks that show up when i stack two stone walls on top of another?

[stuck berry]

sometimes it marks duplicate ones though which is annoying, so possibly just try going somewhere else on the planet in your starship

[left urchin]

once you collect all the waste from it it will show another

[stuck berry]

Hover over them in the part selection menu and press the "View Variants" button

[hazy berry]

[hexed kindle]

is the NMS assistant cooking catalog is still up to date? or have new recipes been added

[analog scroll]

Only through 6.0.1

[main stone]

couple days ago i got my free freighter by saving one from pirates. i got another of the same mission just now and saved it, and its giving me the option to replace my existing ship w/ the new one. I'm not gonna (its going from class b to class c even though I like the design of this one better), but i wonder:

if i wanted to change freighters, and i accept the new one to replace my old one, what happens to all the rooms ive constructed? do i need to deconstruct the first freighter first to get those materials back?

[hexed kindle]

i see, if so is there a fully updated list or sheet anywhere?

[analog scroll]

You get asked if you want to move them to the new freighter. If you say no, they poof and you get nothing

[brazen flame]

is an a class staff guranteed to have 3 supercharged slots

or is it still chance

[analog scroll]

Every A class ship and tool will have 3 supercharged slots, but you may have to add more tech slots to reveal them all

[brazen flame]

okay good

how many tech slots can an a class have

[analog scroll]

50

Except for shuttles - Nope, shuttles only differ at C class

[brazen flame]

i meant

staff

not ship

[analog scroll]

Still 50

[brazen flame]

ah okay

oh what the hell

when i upgraded my staff it magically gifted me a row

do you ahve the chart for multi tool expansion augments

[analog scroll]

A fully unlocked row? Interesting

[hazy berry]

oh no, theres a problem

[brazen flame]

yeah it was weird, i upgraded 1 slot and suddenly i have 1 more row

[analog scroll]

What sort of chart?

[brazen flame]

chart as in like sources for the augment and chance list

[hazy berry]

im trying to rescale fossil display on my freighter,, but the regular wire glitch doesnt work, but the freigter versio video is no longer existing

[brazen flame]

list

[analog scroll]

Scrap other multi tools, missions, guild emissaries

[brazen flame]

chart list

[brazen flame]

okay thanks

where can i scrap multi tools again, multitool wall?

[analog scroll]

The Anomaly

[brazen flame]

okay thanks

[runic crown]

if you take over a pirate dreadnought can u increase its cargo eventually or what u get is final

[analog scroll]

Every freighter of a given class can have the same max tech and cargo slots

You just have to have the items to add the slots

[brazen flame]

cargo bulkhead augmentations allow you to add slots

[runic crown]

i see thanks yall

[drowsy elbow]

will settlements eventually lose their negative traits

[brazen flame]

are these for all weapons on the multitool or onnly for the b olt caster

[analog scroll]

Boltcaster only

[analog scroll]

Eventually

[drowsy elbow]

thanks

[burnt valley]

Anyone know what 2 im missing for the Expedition

[analog scroll]

There's a pin in #nms-expedition

[hushed saffron]

(How) can you get other uploaded player bases to appear in your teleport list?

[stuck berry]

By going to the same star system as the base(s)

[analog scroll]

They only appear there if they're in the same system you are

[hushed saffron]

Ah

So you can't save them like space stations or your own bases

Alas

[burnt valley]

ty very much

[hazy berry]

does anybody know if the trash on the trash heaps reswpans

i havent used one in like a week

or more

[stark girder]

Hey all.
I have a planet that says 3 resources: Activated Copper, Pyrite, Silver, but when I click on the planet to see the details there it says: Copper, Pyrite, Silver. It's a magma rain planet.
I'm looking for activated copper but... this way I can't find any tbh. I went on the planet and all the copper says just copper (for the diggable resource)

[stuck berry]

Look on another planet, that one is kinda bugged/changed for an early mission

[analog scroll]

If you scan it from space and it says Activated Copper, that's what is there.

[stuck berry]

The game makes difficult planets you encounter easier during the tutorial, this can include changing extreme worlds to non-extreme or aggressive sentinels being removed

these changes are permanent, but are local to your save

[stark girder]

Lol I scanned it from space and went there because it says Activated Copper, but it's not there 😉

So just go find another planet. I must admit I had lower difficulty settings at start!

Just to make sure I wouldn't freak out and ditch the game

[stuck berry]

It isn't even related to the settings, it's just what the game does

[stark girder]

Do you reckon I could find it on another planet in the system I settled in at start... ah will give it a try

[stuck berry]

Most likely not (if this system was encountered/explored/pointed to during the tutorial)

especially if you have visited all of the planets in that system during the tutorial
This might not even be the problem for the world you initially encountered, as the scan readings for these worlds show their modified states. Maybe this is an unrelated bug.

[severe crown]

If someone were to get in a starship that had 0% showing for launch thrusters and try to go to a space station, what should happen? Could you fly around the planet? Out of the atmosphere? All the way to a station in orbit?

[stuck berry]

You cannot initiate takeoff with 0% launch thruster charge

you must locate the resources needed to craft launch fuel, which can be found on every world

after takeoff, launch fuel % and pulse engine % are not factors for regular starship flight, we can fly forever until we land again

[stone pebble]

Need help starting NMS in ubuntu w/ Nvidia graphics driver, anyone?

[burnt valley]

Anyone know the button to Lock on to space station on PC then to Warp ?

[stuck berry]

Just look at the space station, pulse engine initiation automatically locks onto the waypoint closest to the crosshair

[burnt valley]

And what is the button for Pulse engine ?

[stuck berry]

Space, or A + D

[burnt valley]

Space bar thx

[tame hawk]

Are these real player or?

Just to make sure

[brazen flame]

if they have that dot yeah

if you hover over it it should display a player symbol

there are still npcs there tho

[tame hawk]

Dang

[severe crown]

This is exactly what I expected. And yet, not only did it let me take off, I flew to the space station like nothing was wrong. Very odd.

[tame hawk]

I thought this game was single player based... dang that's cool

[brazen flame]

it is but it has multiplayer functionality

[brazen flame]

were you on a landintg pad?

[stuck berry]

If another player reaches the same star system as you, something similar happens

but that is extremely unthinkably rare, outside of organizing it willingly using coordinates/joining through the multiplayer menu

[tame hawk]

So space anomaly is like a small public sever?

[severe crown]

Maybe? I found a communications tower, called my ship there from a small beacon-type-thing, and took off from that location.

[brazen flame]

yep then that makes sense
taking off of those beacon things doesnt take away from thrusters or need thrusters, same with landing pads

[brazen flame]

yeah

its a hub

[stuck berry]

A place where you connect with anyone else there, there could be dozens of instances of it at a time

[tame hawk]

That explains why my mac's temp is spiking xd

[severe crown]

Ok, so if I take off from there, I use no fuel? Still odd, but handy if that is how it is meant to work. Thanks.

[brazen flame]

yep that is how it works

[tame hawk]

Finally the research stuff

[brazen flame]

yeah, dont forget some of these upgrade vendors have different pages

[tropic ginkgo]

it's probably spiking because the game's rendering up to 16 players + their ships at the same time

[tame hawk]

This is the event right?

[stuck berry]

That is the current Communtiy Expedition, yes.

[analog scroll]

That's the expedition, yes

[hazy berry]

this doesnt work eitheer propably

[stuck berry]

it does not

[analog scroll]

The quest is the only way to unlock purple systems. If they're not going to do the work, they can't get there. Period.

Without a mod at least https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/3330

[analog scroll]

• Finish the story (New Beginnings)
• Finish the Atlas Path (Atlas Eternal)
• Finish the Autophage mission
• Pulse to start the Purple system mission
• Finish that

Basically:
Have completed They Who Returned (that has it's own two prerequisites: main story completion + harmonic camp seal broken before)
and Have completed The Atlas Path
then it will begin as a pulse engine event

[woeful kettle]

UUH how do i find gek nip? i beat the game and just realized u need them for settlements but i sold all my nip, Vykeen daggers and whatever the korvax use.

like the nipnip ? is it craftable

[analog scroll]

Sorry, not plant it. Buy GekNip from Gek pilots anywhere except the space station. NipNip is plantable

[woeful kettle]

AAh ok i was about to forgive the gek for their crimes

[tame hawk]

These is for multi player?

[analog scroll]

No, they can be done solo

Well I'd better get some upgrade first

[stuck berry]

Planets can have water, they can also lack water. It's kinda random

[hazy berry]

?

[jagged wasp]

my understanding was that moons can never have water, wonder if that's still true

If it has gold, it's an exotic planet

All names above "Breached" are unused and cannot be found

I do not know why the creator of the chart included them.

Has anybody actually found derelicr corvettes in space outside of rhe breach expidation

I have seen none

[analog scroll]

You have to be in a corvette for them to show up

[stuck berry]

Yes, they are very rare. They can more easily be located using an Anomaly Detector. They can only be encountered while piloting a corvette

[hazy berry]

yeah this is an exotic planet

flying pink balloons

[void crescent]

So im very new to the game. Me and my friends have played basically a couple days now. Whats some rewarding things we can do together and be able to split the rewards?

Like bosses or missions maybe? We dont have a ton of stuff yet but we have the basics down pat (i think)

[analog scroll]

Not much, to be honest, especially not with split rewards. There are some non-story missions you can safely do in a group, but each person gets their own rewards

[void crescent]

Dang ok. Any recs on "cool" things relatively easy to get that you may consider impressive. I have got a ship already and freighter

[wise reef]

Hunt for sentinel ships? They are great early income and look cool

Early days, I mostly gathered resources, then hunted sentinels for a while, then I set up bases on each biome to farm resources

[hazy berry]

back in my day we used to refine alot of cobalt

[wise reef]

getting high-grade multitool, upgrades, and exosuit expnsions are also useful

[wise reef]

I also farmed cobalt first. decent value and tons of it underground

but compared to sentinel hunting, it was peanuts

[outer tree]

How do the autophage staves compared to the exhibition staves?

Is one better stats overall than the other?

[void crescent]

What for? To resell?

[analog scroll]

They have the same bonus ranges

A staff is a staff

[wise reef]

yes, it's decent income when you first start out and don;t have much else you can do

[outer tree]

So there’s no reason to use one over the other? they’re about similar?

[drowsy elbow]

there a list of ship parts somewhere for ship building? for stats

[analog scroll]

You like how one looks over another. That's really it when it comes to any equipment in this game

[void crescent]

Is there a farming method other than run up and blast it? Lol

[drowsy elbow]

oh hey the mabinogi giant

[tame hawk]

do I risk it?

[outer tree]

Yeah, that’s what I thought, it’s generally the same with everything. It’s more about what you prefer visually

[wise reef]

Nope. Just run around caves cleaning them out. The first planet I landed on also had chromatic metal in one of the common rock types, which was also good.

[wise reef]

LOL that is me

[stuck berry]

For non-corvettes, there basically isn't a difference. For corvettes, the stat ranges for all modules of the same type are the same, but have different randomizations but that doesn't really make one more important than the other unless you'd die without like 50 extra maneuverability

[drowsy elbow]

ill just go for looks then

[wise reef]

does anyone here know the NMS save editor, or how often it gets updated? I missed expedition 20 this summer, and want to unlock the corvette parts without waiting 5 years for them to rerun it

[stuck berry]

Using the consumerism mod may be easier if not on Mac #nms-questions message

[analog scroll]

#nms-modding will have the answers, as well as the easy method for rerunning expeditions

[wise reef]

thanks

[small lily]

Why is that my sentinel ship even tho I e like put some nice modules in there is doing like equal if lot less damage to like sentinel ships which come after shooting thr space station compared to my starter

DPS is higher on my weapon stats

[hazy berry]

back in the old days you could sell alot of cobalt, crash the economy and buy it back really cheaply

and repeat

[small lily]

Also how can I like sell sentinel ships I find coz they worth like 50 mill or shit

[stuck berry]

You can salvage them for scrap worth at any Starship Outfitting Terminal

[wise reef]

You go to a space station, change the docked ship to the one you want to sell, then sell it at the ship upgrade terminal

[small lily]

What’s the difference in like scrapping and dismantling cox both of them like give u parts no?

[drowsy elbow]

you only get the part you choose

[stuck berry]

Those words mean the same thing. If referring to extract customisation module, that allows you to extract one of the three parts of the ship for use in starship fabrication (only compatible with fighter, explorer, hauler and solar ships). This cannot be done with sentinel ships, and does not give scrap to sell for units

[analog scroll]

You can only dismantle certain ships for parts

[stuck berry]

This is only if you select "Extract customisation module", which cannot be done with sentinel ships

[small lily]

I see people w crazy looking ships in like the nexus, is that how they get them? Coz those ships look like so cool and unlike anything i see in like space stations

[stuck berry]

All of the ships that can be built also exist in the universe, outside of chosen colors

[analog scroll]

Depends what they look like. Use your visor and look at one, it should tell you what type of ship it is

[stuck berry]

corvette-class starships are exclusively built though, and are always completely custom

[hazy berry]

I have been using corvette like for 100h but still norhing

Do they have their own title, like living frigates have the ”whale song detected”

[stuck berry]

I have for like a thousand, and have only encountered it once or twice

I think so, I forget

[scenic saffron]

I know the answer is most likely yes as it was a WHILE ago (back when the freighter cold storage was first added) but double checking in case
Was the bug that caused ships to get repainted randomly when put in cold storage patched

[hazy berry]

But what os their actual purpose, they dont drop anything new i dont think

Ypu can get the same parts from mining

[stuck berry]

You mine their two modules for some corvette modules

that's it

[hazy berry]

Yo tyndall, Grouch and bk. Call me crazy if im wrong, but do you guys like have a certain ” assigned” time table when whoever aswers to questions? Like i see bk answering at some point, rhen grouch, then tyndell and even gleam at somepoint

Are the specialised fishing lures worh it? Like i do have an good farm but 1200 gamma weed for few lures is lot

I think you can't abandon it too early on, or while the mission A Trace of Metal is tied to it

you can have up to 4 settlements at a time though

I would like to ask another quesrion tho

What is an NMEGG😅

[analog scroll]

No Man's Entity/Guy/Gal

The bottom bullet point of that FAQ

[main stone]

so i was doing the armorer quest line for my new base, and they have you go strike a sentinel depot. as i strike it, sentinels attack me, so i go get in my ship cuz im squishy on land and cant aim well, and they send interceptors. i kill them for a while and finally go up to space to kill the capital ship, which i do.

then i go back down to the depot, and it triggers more sentinels and more attack ships. so i guess what, you gotta destroy all the ground waves first?

i ended up just blasting the rest of the depot and then escaping

[analog scroll]

Pretty sure that's all you have to do

[main stone]

Yeah it is but my question is more about sentinel encounters, i thought killing the capital ship would make them go away

[stuck berry]

It stops them from going after you currently, but it doesn't disable them

[oak flint]

Can I anyone give me like some tips for settlements I had one before and I assumed it was a background thing and I left it for a bit and came back to millions in debt

[analog scroll]

You don't pay the debt, the settlement does. It's all busy work. Make the decisions for your settlement, it will improve, eventually it may produce some items for you

[oak flint]

So it's just one of those things that get lengthy?

[analog scroll]

Pretty much

[charred haven]

but it can produce usefull items... eventually

ment to ping the other person

[oak flint]

Oh that's great then and can I have more then one and like do different planets and races do different things as a settlement?

[main stone]

i started that settlement quest and then almost immediately got my freighter so have been focusing there, worrying about the settlement being neglected

[worn wolf]

On a derelict freighter this door won't open for me and my friend. How can we unlock it ?

[analog scroll]

Shoot the goop

[worn wolf]

We already shot the goop. it was crosscrossing the door. We already opened like 4 other doors like it, but this one won't open.

You can have up to four settlements, and the race affects a few materials they produce but mainly their structures and the most common race in the settlement

autophage settlements are more special, and only have autophage

[slim sun]

Anyone know where I can find a resource for finding racetracks?

The few I've come across are amazing and I wanna see if someone has a repository of a few anywhere

[analog scroll]

Reddit posts would be my guess

[slim sun]

I've tried digging and there's not much tbh

[analog scroll]

They have had their issues in the past, it could be that not a lot of people are building them

[stuck berry]

they've had a pretty large bug for a while where visitors have the race automatically end if they leave the 300u base radius

once builders realize this, they usually stop making them or try to fit them within the 600u diameter around the base claim position which is kinda hard

[slim sun]

:(

Hopefully it will one day be fixed, but we dunno, it's been there for years I think

[safe ravine]

Is it normal that freighter cargo pods keep respawning 😮

I've been cycling back and forth between two freighter fleets now for like 30 minutes and they never end

Ultimate farming, but it feels cheesy

[swift sand]

@safe ravine sure yeah, game will spawn fleets near you, after you move away from one far enough it'll just spawn another (given enough time ofc)

[safe ravine]

Hmm ok, well they stopped giving me salv modules so I guess I'll move on anyway

btw another bug tho, if I go on an attack freighter mission, but then destroy it before I destroy the 5/5 cargo pods on it, the mission resets and I can do it over again

[wintry escarp]

is there away do upgrade settlements faster or just wait out the time? kinda wish you could upgrade more than one building at a time

[analog scroll]

Just have to wait it out

[shrewd vapor]

Question, so i got these suspecious packets from outlaw system. I was told these could earn some good nanites in commercial systems. Where should i sell these to get nanites for them?

[proper parcel]

whats the best way to search for corvette parts once you have one? ive been doing it from the big exo craft that i cant remember the name of at the moment. i can drive and scan easily when there arent any around but not sure how to do that with corvette because it doesnt scan for them best i can tell

[granite creek]

a question, when expedition ends, are there more?

like, right after this one ends

or it's a seasonal event

[analog scroll]

If history is anything to go on, they will release 4 expeditions this year, then rerun those 4 at the end of the year @granite creek

[jagged wasp]

once you have enough parts to make a basic corvette, I find it fastest to scan from within the corvette on a salv scrap planet, find the next one, go there, hop down and dig it out, move 300u or so, scan again, etc. The marker will show up in the HUD once you stand up from the chair and scan

[granite creek]

OH tgotchaa. I miss my ship ngl, but this expedition/quest is really relaxing

[proper parcel]

oh just scan from insideok thats what i was ,missing

thanks

[jagged wasp]

it's handy to have your freighter in the system so you can transfer parts to storage when you get full up, it doesn't take long

[lofty wind]

Anyone knows what this is used for.?

[winter phoenix]

I'm not sure, but I think someone probably just cheated that in. I doubt it's actually meant to be an item

[jagged wasp]

this cannot be used for anything I guess. nanites when sent to inventory should never land there but should go to your total nanite count. this is likely a save edited item, you can keep it somewhere as a curiosity if you like

[lofty wind]

Ohh okay... I had stepped away from the game while I was in the anomaly. And when I came back, this was in my inventory.

[main stone]

Lol

[granite creek]

the npc that sells voideggs gotta be unlocked thru history? or I haven't just looked around enough?

[lofty wind]

I think you can buy some eggs through the quicksilver vendor

who is that sobs

[lofty wind]

Don't quote me

[lofty wind]

[stoic wren]

Is it possible for a planet to have infestations of those big worm things,and a Vile Brood?

[lofty wind]

Yeah.. I just checked. 3,200 quicksilver will get you an egg.

[granite creek]

Gotchaa, thanks so muchh

[stuck berry]

Very much so

[stoic wren]

Good! I wanted to know before I spent too long searching for one.

[proper parcel]

how far can a pipe or wire go to connect two things? it long ways?

[stuck berry]

Each individual pipe/wire has a max length of like 200u, but can be chained together endlessly (up to the base radius limit of 1,000u from the base origin)

[lofty wind]

[hexed kindle]

if i use my freighter warp to an outlaw system where pirate dreadnought encounters are guaranteed will they still spawn? or must i use my starship

[stuck berry]

Depends on if you believe the higher stat bonus % ranges are worth it

Freighter rescue events never occur upon warping using your freighter.

If you wish for an event to occur, use your starship

[main stone]

dang so i gotta find a sentinal multitool or staff

[stray plover]

chat how do i repair this guy

[lofty wind]

For the tool, you can use expansion slot upgrades. And for the staff, you need to complete a quest.

just click on him and warp onboard

the repairs will be marked once you arrive

[boreal pine]

not if they are fully broken

[analog scroll]

They're in your collection, the'll be on your freighter

[stray plover]

yes you can, ive done it

Just go to one of your planetary bases and save + reload, then summon using the quick menu #nms-questions message

@boreal pine
-# to view info below, enable embeds

Can't summon a ship?

If you save+reload restore point at a planet base, you should then be allowed to quick menu/summon any of your ships, regardless of state.

This is a failsafe added by the devs to ensure players never lose ships in their collection.

You are not doing what that FAQ says. You can't summon ships there unless the pulse engine and launch thruster are repaired

does anyone know where to find the Floradae type creatures

for context this is what they look like

[stuck berry]

Any type of world can have them (except those that lack fauna, or weird worlds in non-purple systems which have overrides)

alternatively, many players have documented portal glyph coordinates to planets that have them

[supple mortar]

then is there any biome type that has more of them per planet or is it random

[stuck berry]

Again, any that have fauna can have them. If there was weight, I would have described it here #nms-questions message

are those rare creatures

Okay, so I have only been playing for a few hours, and found a crashed ship. I got the option to "add it to my collection", which I did. Can anyone please tell me where my original ship went? It's not in the "summon vehicle" menu where I would've expected to find it. Did I lose my ship and all its contents?

[supple mortar]

its in more ships

[cobalt glacier]

Hmmm, okay, didn't notice that, but will look again. Thanks so much for easing my mind that its not lost! ❤️

[stuck berry]

Somewhat, very uncommon

[south basin]

how dyk they r very uncommon

[boreal pine]

all the colours for freighter cusomisation are locked, how do i like unlock them

[analog scroll]

You buy them. 5000 nanites each

[stuck berry]

Because I have explored thousands of worlds and have probably seen less than a hundred species of them

[boreal pine]

ok im too poor

[south basin]

ic, some planets have the same creatures?

[boreal pine]

i will stick with my piss yellow freighter for now

[stuck berry]

The same types of them, yes, each with their own randomizations and variations and colors

[south basin]

i see i see

does that creature u had a picture of only be on poisonous planets

[stuck berry]

No, creature type is unrelated to biome, except for those weird world specific ones

the specific creature species in the image there is only found on that planet, but others of the same type can be found on many many other worlds

there's some nanite farming strategies that can be quite rewarding; would recommend typing !faq-nanites in #nms-commands , and checking out the various links. if you need lots of nanites in a short time though, and you got some units to burn already, i'd suggest looking at suspicious packets tech/arms farming - you buy these with units, unpack, and then sell the upgrade modules for nanites (dont install them, just sell them as is to an upgrade module shop).

[stuck berry]

Ones that vaguely resemble earth's conditions? Not too rare, not too hard to find a lush world that lacks storms.
One that matches earth's grass, sky and water colors as well as it's flora mostly? Very rare, not many have found them

[drowsy elbow]

how do i remove items in a freighter that i didnt place

nvm just found it

thought i had to click it first

[boreal pine]

if i live on a square in the middle of the ocean on a planet with high sentinels will they find me eventually?

[half stone]

Definitely looking for the latter 😁😭 the search continues haha

[swift sand]

also note that this bit here, the outside of the hanger+bridge, because of a bug (or lack of implementation maybe), this will remain of the same color as default, even after you color customize freighter

[stuck berry]

High sentinel activity just means that they patrol at all, it does not mean that they actively hunt you

but most likely no, as sentinels cannot spawn in water but that may make them spawn on the island instead so idk

if you don't plan on mining things using your mining beam, High Sent Act can be ignored

[boreal pine]

i sorta cant mine anything were i am

this is literally my square

i also didnt make this it was just there

[lofty wind]

there's a lot. you just need to know how to use the galaxy map.

[swift sand]

since you're on a piece of land, a sentinel can be allowed to spawn there, yeah - similar to islands

[jolly scarab]

how do you guys affordably build giant corvettes?

[stuck berry]

Harvest modules from salvage containers

it's free

[swift sand]

yeah, terrain gen can create these kinds of formations

[boreal pine]

if i were to like fully build over the land there will they still spawn?

[jolly scarab]

thanks

[stuck berry]

you can store them in your Corvette Workshop Cache

which acts as functionally endless corvette module storage and the workshop pulls from it's inventory for building

[jolly scarab]

ooh okay

[swift sand]

yeah, most likely. i'd not worry much about them, especially not when you're sheltered (in a base room)

[scenic saffron]

What race system should I go to if I want haulers?

gek?

[swift sand]

yep 🙂

non-outlaw gek

[scenic saffron]

What ship class would Korvax be?

[swift sand]

explorer

7 explorer designs per non-outlaw korvax system

[scenic saffron]

are get like
Hauler and Shuttle

And then Vykeen fighter

[swift sand]

shuttles arent weighted towards any of them

[scenic saffron]

o ok

[swift sand]

yeah, and outlaw systems in general, solar sail

[scenic saffron]

Outlaw is I believe solar

ye

[boreal pine]

oh ill be chilling then. i plan on fully building around the square and like building an enclosure type thing

[swift sand]

you'll be fine, have fun

[proper parcel]

any way to see what ships are in your fleet when not at freighter? keep buying more of the same ship cuz i cant remember what i have when im away and see a good deal

[stuck berry]

Not really, just have to memorize

[swift sand]

make a list

it'd be nice to have some kind of line on it/way to see them remotely but we dont have any atm

yeah guess will have to write it down. i cant remember the name of a single type of ship long enough to type it in the discord

[swift sand]

there's many approaches to fleet compo, so yeah, once you picked the one you'll go with, best to keep a list down on a piece of paper when still recruiting

[proper parcel]

thx

[main stone]

do system economies change over time, and is that something that a single player can influence (by doing missions in a system for example)

so it will always be "Satisfactory" if thats what it is right now

[swift sand]

most we can do is influence trade terminal prices and not really permanently - we certainly cant change economy tiers, and they dont change overtime - unless ofc, a future game update came along and did something

[oak flint]

Does anyone know a fix😭

[swift sand]

right

[swift sand]

i saw another player earlier today with the same exact issue actually. at the time, i went on https://support.xbox.com/en-US/xbox-live-status and saw this:

[boreal pine]

how do i get tainted metal

[scenic saffron]

Question. is White and Orange the default paint scheme for most things?

Cause I just came across a space station with that exact paint scheme

No joke I can provide the coords

[swift sand]

there's not many sources for it - primarily derelict freighter missions - if this is about nanite farming, i'd suggest picking something else

[oak flint]

Oh crap ah well it's pretty late for me anyway I'll check it tomorrow I was scared I'd lost all my saves 😭

[stuck berry]

Only for base building objects, as well as sentinels/sentinel ships of which 1/4 of the crashed ones are that

[boreal pine]

nah i just saw that i needed it for the scrap dealer

was just curious

[stuck berry]

space station color is all random, inside and out

[scenic saffron]

So it's just a coincidence that it chose those (I named the system Standardia)

[swift sand]

ah gotcha - yeah yeah. derelict freighters, wheel barrows at harmonic camps, that's pretty much the only sources

[scenic saffron]

Space stations look cool in orange and white tbh

its a fire colour combo

[oak flint]

When I'm next on if nms is working I can give you a bunch saves the grind

[boreal pine]

how much would an s class solar ship usually go for btw?

[swift sand]

it's cheap, a few million

solars are quite cheap even at s-class, because of low-ish starting inventory size

[boreal pine]

so im not looking at spending my entire life savings on it?

[swift sand]

nah, not at all

well, if you're not going to later on max out inventory size with only units 😄 but even then you'd just make more units lol

[boreal pine]

so the hard part will be finding the s class solar ship?

[oak flint]

If you have the glyphs for portal nms coordinate exchange on Reddit is a good place for ship hunting

[lofty wind]

I find it easier to just get a ship that i like and upgrading it to an S class myself

[swift sand]

ok so, 1) we can build solar sail ship type - and that means that if we use a s-class reactor, the ship will already be s-class 2) building a ship, we can color customize it when building it 3) finding the solar sail ships with the parts we want to use to build the ship can take time 4) if we didnt want to build one, finding a system that has the ship with the design we like and the color schme we like might take longer than the game then dropping it in s-class

[boreal pine]

ill probably nanite farm to get an s class reactor and build my own solar ship then

i want it to be white so i can match my outfit

[swift sand]

so basically:

• solar sail ships are really common in outlaw systems
• outlaw systems can be easily found (!faq-outlawsystem in #nms-commands )
• you'll need to find solar sail ships that have the fuselage, the wings and the sails you want to use;
• starship outfitting terminal in stations can salvage supported equipped ship for a customization module
• meaning you need to do this with 3 solar sail ships to get the 3 parts
• then buy the reactor from a ship upgrade module shop
• color customize it
• assemble

you could also use crashed ships, and not have to buy ships

[bright mural]

are Titles unlocked across all saves?

are the quicksilver stuff that give buffs worth farming?

[stuck berry]

later on, i guess, yeah, when you bought all the stuff you wanted more first

[proper parcel]

why do i have systems in my visited systems list that are discovered by other people and do no seem to be part of the portion of space ive been exploring and thus cant even be traveled to by setting a waypoint there. i play single player so dont understand why my systems list is clogged up with other peoples discoveries that im almost certain i havent been to.

[swift sand]

sometimes going near systems visited by other players adds them to the list, some times our frigates add systems to the discoveries list

you can just hide those systems

[proper parcel]

arhhg is it possible to tun that off? i have no use for systems i cant go to

[stuck berry]

Many crazy worlds and shots just exist like that though

[swift sand]

not that i'm aware of; i'd just recommend hiding them from the list since you dont plan on visiting them, unless well, you're already using the hidden filter as a kind of special bookmarker/scratchpad

[bright mural]

even if they're initially unlocked on Creative mode?

[stuck berry]

Correct

[supple mortar]

why is the atlas path so annoying

[granite creek]

is this special waste some different special waste or did it bug for me

[proper parcel]

im just getting aggravated cuz i go searching for a planet with certain qualities find one. search all the hubs and galaxy map for a while and then realize i dont know how to get there. hopefully i can teach myself to check first. cuz im wasting loads of time searching for a system that is nowhere to be found. i mean if they were nearby and it would show me the place with a bookmark i wouldnt mind but places i cant even get to should not be on there dangdit

[stuck berry]

It's just any toxic, radioactive or explosive waste

ive searched the whole area around the portion of space ive been in and these systems in my discovered system list are not there and are discovered by other people which i dont understand

[stray plover]

your saying you cant find the systems in your discoveries again?

if you hover over a system you can just set a waypoint there and then go there

[proper parcel]

its in the list but i have not been there personaly. s

[boreal pine]

how can i tell if a system is an outlaw system without travelling there

[stray plover]

if its in the list you have been there

[stuck berry]

By having an economy or conflict scanner installed

[swift sand]

take a look at this bot command <#nms-commands message>

[stuck berry]

This isn't necessary, nearby systems that were discovered by others are placed in your discoveries list, it's a strange system

most likely so that it can store the uploaded name of the system to display to you before you warp there

[stray plover]

ive never noticed systems in my list i have not been to and landed on at least one planet

[proper parcel]

i havent been thru any black holes and these systems are not appearing in the galaxy map with a waypoint. ive searched for a long time and the area of space iveb een to is not very big. someone said expeditions you fleet goes out on count but i dont understaznd why other peoples system discoveries are showing up

[main stone]

if you have an exotic ship, did you get it by chance or did you try to farm it by going to a particular system and reloading a save over and over

[boreal pine]

i think ill just like take the sails and work from there to not spend 212k nanites

[swift sand]

you could buy 3 copies of that same ship, then a reactor - which would cost 12k nanites at normal mode prices, a lot cheaper

[boreal pine]

wait i can buy 3 copies of the ship?

[stuck berry]

Yes, you can find more of that same ship across the same system

Each system only has 21 different ship models that NPCs use

[boreal pine]

can i change the colour of sails for the solar ship when building?

[swift sand]

yep

[boreal pine]

i think ill just take these sails and find a new cockpit

[stray plover]

whats this for?

[stuck berry]

Selling

[south basin]

trading

[stray plover]

i notice its worth 500k, but whats it for, why do people buy it

[south basin]

i do t think ppl buy it

it’s for trading and selling

[stray plover]

oh its just like selling it to npcs or whatever

[south basin]

i think u can sell it
to
the galati trade terminal

[midnight peak]

Well figures

[stray plover]

yeah, i just always assumed that was players selling and buying stuff lmao

[midnight peak]

Downside it'll take like 3 hours for the ps4 to update

[south basin]

yhyh did u get it from buried scrap

[stray plover]

yeah, hunting for ship parts

[south basin]

yeah then it’s for trading and selling j think

[swift sand]

also, it can also be donated to explorer guild envoy for guild standing

[south basin]

yh wtv that is im not that far j tk the game yet

[stray plover]

is that worth doing? i donated some things there before and got free daily stuff, but the 500k seems better lol

[swift sand]

guild envoy is a npc in space stations; there's 3 guilds, 1 per galaxy map region; higher standing means that they're willing to help us with goodies; e.g. <right image> cc @stray plover

or salvaged frigate module for example..

[stray plover]

yeah, i donated some salvaged data to one and unlocked 3 free starship fuel a day lol

[swift sand]

in any case, yeah, 1 guild per region

[south basin]

what’s the highest

Keep warping from region to region, checking 1 station per region till you find the guild you seek. See embedded image.

Expand the star system info panel to see region data.

[swift sand]

standing rank? rank 10, exalted

[south basin]

what stuff do u get from rank 10

is it random

[stray plover]

i also keep getting these, are the worth doing or should i just sell the maps instead

[south basin]

also ru using a basic corvette to farm the ship parts or ru using a normal starship

[swift sand]

on explorer, the loot pool for r10 items is basically all upgrade modules; the loot pool for >r8 includes stuff like salvaged frigate module, exosuit expansion unit, storage augmentation, anomaly detector - each envoy will have some of these items

[stray plover]

just a basic corvette

[swift sand]

sentinel boundary charts are used to find sentinel pillar buildings, useful to shutdown sentinels planet wide (not permanent) or hunt for royal multitools

[south basin]

btw u can build storage containers in ur corvette for like 50 extra space per container

[south basin]

upgrade modules? for the suit? or just upgrade modules for everything

[stray plover]

oh yeah i have like 4 of those build so i have 200 storage

[severe crown]

Is there any way to see what named region you are in other than 1) the moment you enter it when it says "area discovered" or 2) finding a waypoint and lookin at the name?

[swift sand]

varied yeah, some for suit others for ship others for multitool

[stuck berry]

Not really, no

each "region" is tied to a nearby structure that has a waypoint though, yeah

[winter wolf]

build a base computer. i think default base name is tied to planet region?

[south basin]

alr, also how do i get exocradts agai n i forgot

exocrafts

[swift sand]

either for free from progressing quests or with salvaged data from anomaly, the construction research station terminal in there

[severe crown]

Ok, thanks. I really wish when those said "save and chart", they were serious about the charting part. 😁

is the construction research station i build in my base w the overseer the same thing also whats the easiest way to get salvaged data

[swift sand]

you can build construction research unit, construction research station has all that and more - just go on a planet you like being on, not many mountains, get a nice pet companion maybe a flying one, or an exocraft, learn how to melee jetpack, and just go from cluster to cluster - each buried tech module drops 1-4 data, so it wont really take a long time to get lots of data

[south basin]

oh buried tech alr thanks

[tulip dust]

-# to view info below, enable embeds

Salvaged Data: Look for the WiFi-like icon

Using your visor, look for Buried Technology Module. Each will drop 1-4 Salvaged Data.
-# Note: Planets in uncharted systems and planets with Rusted Metal or Gold on their resource list will not spawn Buried Technology Modules.

Tip: Make use of melee jetpack and/or flying pets to more easily traverse distances between spawns. Try farming in relatively flat/planets with less mountains.

"i locked"? i didnt lock anything 😄 well, you can just leave it unpowered, or can alternatively just use holo doors

[south basin]

ic, those keep the outside temps out too?

[swift sand]

yep yep

[south basin]

i meant “unlocked”

[swift sand]

gotcha

[south basin]

kk what dy use for power

solar panel?

[swift sand]

if low-ish power needs, sure. 2 panels+1 battery for every 50kps of power needed at the base; can see power usage after hooking everything up to power wires (just interact with panel or battery), or even after selecting/before building a part, on the right side tooltip

[south basin]

what’s the battery used for?

storing the power?

[swift sand]

store power for night time

[south basin]

so in the day it is auto puts the power into the doors and stuff and

goes into the battery in the same time?

[swift sand]

during the day 1 panel charges the battery the other powers the base

yeah, it's all done seemlessly

e.g. something like this would work just fine

imagine the cube is the rest of the base, receiving power through that wire there
